Whether it's the football field, the wrestling mat, or the track, former Sargent star Jed Fenske knows how to win.
"I guess I couldn't ask for a better senior year, it's been quite the run," Fenske commented.
Fenske has had quite a year, leading Sargent to a Class D2 State Football Championship, claiming gold on the wrestling mat, and he broke a Class D state record on the pole vault.
"Football was fun this year going out on top, but I've enjoyed every other sport I've done too, so its been a fun ride," Fenske said.
On top of all of the success he's enjoyed this season, he gets the chance to compete in Nebraska's Eight-Man All-Star Game before the sun sets on his high school career.
"I've been looking forward to this all summer, getting a chance to play with top of the line kids and getting a chance to be around everybody down here," said Fenske.
Following the Nebraska Eight-Man All-Star Game, Fenske will compete in wrestling at the University of Nebraska.

Bonner Scholars; Class of 2019
The Berea College Bonner Scholars Class of 2019 is fully engaged in the service and exploration that are part of the Bonner Scholars journey. This group of students began their first year with an orientation retreat that focused on an introduction to the Bonner Scholars Program and team building exercises. Their training has continued with opportunities for personal reflection, a focus on mentoring and working with children and youth, and time to explore the Common Commitments of the Bonner Scholars Program – social justice, civic engagement, community building, spiritual exploration, international perspective and diversity.
The First-Year Bonners lead after-school mentoring and tutoring programs for three groups of local elementary and middle school students, two days a week. In addition to their regular programming and training, members of the Bonner Class of 2019 have found opportunities to explore other aspects of service and advocacy. The Bonner Class of 2019 participated in the annual CELTS-sponsored, community-wide Hunger Hurts Food Drive and volunteer regularly with some of the CELTS Community Service programs. Additionally, Bonner Scholars volunteer outside of CELTS to serve with whom they feel a passion for.
One Bonner Scholar reflected, "So many doors have opened for me here at Berea. The Bonner Scholars program and the Bonner family have played an intricate part in my adapting to the whole college experience and being away from home."

Investors Still Shoot Morgan Stanley First, Aim Later
Old investing habits die hard. Back when the euro-zone crisis was really raging, a knee-jerk reaction when exiting U.S. financial stocks was to first sell shares in Morgan Stanley.
That was due to fears over its European exposure and the fact that as the smallest of the Big Six U.S. banks, it was thought to be the weak link. Those worries proved unfounded. What's more, Morgan Stanley has undergone quite the transformation as chief James Gorman has trimmed the bank's reliance on fixed-income trading and diversified its revenue and profit through a successful expansion of its wealth-management business.
Yet, as U.S. bank stocks sold off Thursday over renewed euro-zone banking fears sparked by problems at Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo, Morgan Stanley's shares were once again the hardest hit among big U.S. banks. It might be time for investors to turn to a fresh page in their playbooks.

Tom Hardy, The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises has been rated PG-13 "for intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language," according to various online reports. Now, that Christopher Nolan's upcoming Batman movie will get a PG-13 rating is totally expected, but at this point in time the only PG-13-rated The Dark Knight Rises listed on the Motion Picture Association of America's website is The Dark Knight Rises' Prologue. That's it.
The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20. A few weeks ago, Nolan reportedly screened a rough cut of the film to Warner Bros. executives. No word on whether or not the film is actually ready to be rated. The purported source for this news is a "Warner Bros. exhibitor's" site.
So, either the MPAA will release an official rating to The Dark Knight Rises on Monday, or … this is another "Gary Ross is out of The Hunger Games' sequel Catching Fire" even though Ross apparently remains a player.
Written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan, The Dark Knight Rises stars Batman Begins / The Dark Knight's Christian Bale, Les Misérables / Love and Other Drugs' Anne Hathaway, La Vie en Rose / Inception's Marion Cotillard, This Means War / Wettest Country's Tom Hardy, Looper / Premium Rush's Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sleuth / Alfie' Michael Caine, Driving Miss Daisy / The Shawshank Redemption's Morgan Freeman, Reuben Reuben / Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence's Tom Conti, and Pacific Heights / Full Metal Jacket's Matthew Modine.
Also: Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, Josh Stewart, Christopher Judge, Aidan Gillen, Adam Rodriguez, and Rob Brown.

ATTC Courses Embedded into a UC Degree Program
The UC-ATTC degree and diploma/certificate collaboration, is a partnership between UC and the ATTC, under the auspices of the Global Skills Group, Pty. Ltd., an Australian consultant in the development of educational networking projects. The diploma/certificate programs of the ATTC in Information Technology, Business, Hospitality and Tourism, have been duly integrated and embedded in the UC degree programs, namely,: in UC's Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT), in UC's Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), in UC's Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) and in UC's Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management (BSTM) degree programs. Thus, in one seamless learning process and time period, the student shall earn two (2) credentials, namely, a degree and a diploma/or a certificate, that, based on a curriculum jointly designed by UC and the ATTC, conforms to the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF).
The ATTC diploma/certificate which the student shall receive upon graduation, shall bear the logo "Nationally Recognised Training (NRT)" signifying the adherence of the program to the standards of the AQF. This Australian Qualification, as signified by the NRT logo, is acknowledged in all the Australian Federated States and in the Australian external territories. The Commonwealth of Nations (formerly the British Commonwealth) also acknowledges the standards represented by the NRT, including Canada, New Zealand, India, Malaysia, Singapore and 54 other member countries.
Together, the UC Bachelor's degree and the Australian Qualification represented in the ATTC diploma or certificate, shall effectively globalize the student's credentials and can thus be projected as such, in his/her individual professional career game plan.
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)
Australia. One Country. One Qualifications System.
The AQF is a standard to which the government of Australia evaluates individual qualifications through a Recognition of prior Learning (RPL). It points to certain levels of qualifications such as "Certificates I, II and III" as well as "Diploma" up to bachelor's and graduate degrees. UC and ATTC's degree-certificate/diploma program, based on the AQF is Australian-government authorized and nationally accredited.
If a student graduates with "Certificate III," he or she is able to perform a range of operations in a broader capacity and exercise discretion and judgment individually and for others. Diploma holders on the other hand are capable of self-directed application of knowledge and skills with substantial depth in some areas where judgment is required in planning and in the technical aspects.
The AQF makes it easy for overseas governments to recognize the qualification that when international employers see it, they will know that it stands for world class education in a modern, democratic and technologically advanced society.

Man Sets Sights On Somali Premiership
Issue 303
MINNEAPOLIS, November 7, 2007 – For years, Abdurahman Ali Osman worked behind the scenes on creating Somalia's fragile government. Now he wants to lead it.
The St. Paul man is among a handful of Somalis in line to become prime minister in Somalia, where the premier stepped down last week amid growing violence after losing a power struggle.
"I am confident that I am someone who can produce change in a peaceful way," Osman said this week, just days before he planned to leave for the southern Somali city of Baidoa, home of an interim government that was formed in 2004 with hopes of ending a civil war that began in 1991.
As many as 60,000 Somalis have found refuge in Minnesota, including many of the country's elite, who for years have shuttled between the Twin Cities and Somalia as part of efforts to form a stable and lasting government there. Their hope is that the country will become stable enough for them to return for good someday.
Osman helped negotiate as clans vied for power in the temporary government and once worked as a political adviser to the former prime minister, Ali Mohamed Gedi. President Abdullahi Yusuf must name a successor within 30 days of Gedi's resignation, giving Osman just weeks to make his case.
Dahir Jibreel of Minneapolis, who worked as Yusuf's chief of staff for more than two years until returning to Minnesota, said Osman is one of six or seven people Yusuf is considering for the job.
Jibreel said the next prime minister must have the support of not only Yusuf but also the United States, the U.N., the European Union and neighboring countries such as Ethiopia. Osman is also from the Abgal clan from which Yusuf wants to choose a successor, Jibreel said.
"By this criteria, Abdurahman scores high," he said.
Osman said the country must be secure, reconcile its political factions and address growing humanitarian needs. "Sixteen years of civil war is too long and needs to be settled, but we need the help of the international community," he said.
Osman's reputation suffered a blow when he went to work as a spokesman for the Council of Islamic Courts, an Islamist militia that took power across much of southern Somalia last year before being ousted. Remnants of the militia continue to fight on, and thousands of civilians have been killed.
Osman said he cast his lot with the group because he believed it would be moderate and bring badly needed stability to the country. The Islamists also overthrew the hated warlords who ran Mogadishu. However, after the organization was widely blamed for the murder of a Swedish journalist and other atrocities, Osman quit his post.
"This is wrong," he recalled thinking. "This is not Islam."
Even so, Osman's connections with the secular government and the moderate forces within religious groups could help his cause, Jibreel said.
"Whoever becomes prime minister has to have credentials of creating good reconciliation among Somalis, and he has some affiliation, or background, with religious groups and can use that as leverage in bringing some of them on board - the moderates, not the radicals," Jibreel said.
He added: "So, from my perspective, however awkward that was, it could be a positive point for him."
Osman, a U.S. citizen, came to the United States in 1983, graduated from Sacramento State and eventually moved to Minnesota in 1999 to be near relatives of his wife, Saido Hassan, a St. Paul nurse. In Minnesota, he has worked as a business consultant, a consultant to the city of St. Paul and Ramsey County and as an interpreter for the state Supreme Court.
His life in the Somali diaspora has also led to stays in Kenya, Djibouti, Malaysia and other countries.
"In terms of experience, I am someone who understands the global view," he said. "I see the suffering in Somalia and then I come back to Minnesota and see how things are functioning - how things work. And I get a little jealous about it."

With an African-American male and a white female competing for the Democratic presidential nomination, we were sure to get to a discussion about affirmative action.
And not in the conventional sense. Not too many people seem interested in what Sen. Hillary Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama think about ballot initiatives this year that would ban racial preferences in government projects and public schools in five states: Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
What people want to know is whether Clinton or Obama themselves benefited from some gender or racial preference. They include the reader who sent this tacky missive: "Whoever wins the Democrat nomination, affirmative action wins."
Speaking of tacky. Before becoming the 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee, Geraldine Ferraro served three terms in Congress representing a blue-collar enclave in Queens - the Archie Bunker district. Last week, Ferraro sounded a bit like her fictionalized constituent.
She told the Daily Breeze in Torrance that "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Obama called the comments "patently absurd."
I myself was still noodling on this - caught up in the concept that being a self-described "skinny kid with a funny name" and a black man running for president was akin to hitting the lottery - when Ferraro decided the hole she was in wasn't deep enough and so she put in a basement.
The next day, instead of apologizing, Ferraro played the victim and dragged us all into the discussion about political correctness.
Responding again in the Daily Breeze, she said: "Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up. Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"
Let me help you with this, Ms. Ferraro. Remember all those years when you were fighting for women's rights, and men would sometimes charge they were being victimized by "reverse discrimination" because of Title IX, or affirmative action? Remember how silly those big crybabies sounded to you and other feminists?
That's how silly you sound when you claim you're being attacked because you're white. You aren't. You're being attacked because you said something that came across as bitter, envious and foolish.
Not to mention hypocritical. As Republican strategist and CNN contributor Leslie Sanchez noted, it takes chutzpah for someone who herself benefited from the politics of gender to accuse someone else of benefiting from the politics of race.
No one says you can't criticize Obama. But you have to fight fair. Want to critique his health care plan? No one will accuse you of racism. Yet, if you accuse him of being an ex-drug dealing Muslim who attended a madrassa in Indonesia and then try to diminish his appeal by comparing him to Jesse Jackson in order to court white voters south of the Mason-Dixon line, that might do it.
As pressure mounted, a defiant Ferraro sent Hillary Clinton a letter saying that she was leaving the campaign's national finance committee "so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself." She accused the Obama campaign of attacking her to hurt Hillary.
What happened to: "they're attacking me because I'm white?"
The sad part is that a lot of people agree with Ferraro's comments about Obama. In that way, you could argue that our country is a victim of its own success - Americans were so successful in dismantling Jim Crow and passing the Voting Rights Act that they raised a couple of generations that now believe that being black or Latino in our society is a bonus that gives you a golden ticket - to college, a well-paying job, a nice house in the suburbs.
These people live in a fantasy world. They tell themselves that they or their kids could have gotten into Harvard Law School and become editor of the Harvard Law Review if some skinny black kid with a funny name hadn't taken their spot. Our political leaders are supposed to know better. They're supposed to douse those fires with perspective and common sense.
Geraldine Ferraro opted for gasoline.

It's August, 2003. All of the Northeast is sweltering, but no place is hotter than Brooklyn, especially the gritty neighborhood known as East Flatbush. Then, in the midst of the heat wave, the unthinkable happens: the power goes out. And stays out. And the longer it's out, the edgier people get, until finally, edginess gives way to anger. For 48 hours, the community is in chaos. Looters are everywhere. No one is safe. Violence erupts suddenly, randomly, scarring the innocents as well as the agitators, until Flatbush finally explodes into deadly conflict. Based on actual events that occurred during the Northeast Blackout of August 14-15, 2003, this riveting novel tells the little-known story of a neighborhood thrown not only into darkness, but utter mayhem. Illustrated throughout with scenes from the film, Blackout is a heart-stopping, page-turning drama that keeps readers unable to put it down.less

I've been meaning to do a slightly ekphrastic piece for Chris Millar's sculpture 370H55V for a while, after seeing it last month in Massachusetts. It's absolutely stunning in person: an intricate doll's palace that seems to float in midair, containing hundreds (thousands?) of individual pieces, each of which seem to have erupted from a Wonderlander dropping acid. (I think I remember hearing/reading that it was almost entirely crafted from bits of paint, too? Not sure.) This poem could have been done ten times over, choosing different images each time, and been just as wiggly. See photos below.
Donna's prompt to do a piece using all prepositional phrases was the impetus to get this down. It's not a particularly elegant poem, but I guess it will do. There's a line break with each preposition, and a Biblical allusion for good measure. Why not!
My Furious Heart Has Many Rooms
(after Chris Millar's "370H55V")
Between the distant ground and the impossible sky,
aboard a flying saucer wearing a candy-floss skirt
and growing translucent crystal
along the xenobotanical garden's gratings spun
out of silverfish dreams, which are gathered
to catch the rainbow's photo negative, dangling
among the twisted trees that climb to meet
a three-of-spades Pisa, hearts-and-diamonds
pretending to be Gothic pinnacles
with the sugar and milk teeth onion domes done
in lapis lazuli blue or brittle cracked pink,
rounding the plumed Arabesque whose glory sings
like steam escaping a kettle, castle balanced
on dolls' hands, occupying the chambers
underneath the gangway (which rattles as the late
February wind makes it shiver),
from which dangles a trinity of roots, until
it is impossible to tell where the gravity begins,
how each Fauvist-masked eidolon proceeds
towards the center and blinds itself
to a hollowed half-man, ice-eyed, shotgun barrels
tongued carefully
against the roof of his mouth, ready to jump
off the edge
at the same time (to make it certain),
unable to decide the value
of chaos, and beauty, and finally
thinking maybe no infinity is worth
the tearful trouble.

Comments about TouchBack Hair Color Marker, Ash Blonde, .27 oz:
Very little product, doesn't work well you are better off buying a wash in toner for under 10 dollars and save your money. Its a shame that this company charges so much for a great idea, but I am sure the packaging cost 10 times more thab the product! Everything cost them $2-2.50. They would be smart to be realistic, get the proper price point(under 10.00 and go for volume.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Snowed on Sunday. I was halfway into a 30 mile trip when the wipers just stopped working. I had to drive in the snow for about 15 miles with no wipers.
Spray nozzles work. Wipers do not and the 5.3amp fuse under the dash is good.
I think I hear a very faint click from the dash when I turn them on but that's it. Please help because I cannot drive with no wipers. I have no other vehicle.

News About Microwave Popcorn
(May 13, 2014) You might have recently seen news stories about microwave popcorn. We want to reassure you that Orville Redenbacher's microwave popcorn is safe and can be part of a healthful diet. Orville Redenbacher's contains 0 grams of trans fats per serving, has no added diacetyl, and does not use PFOAs in the packaging. We began removing trans fats from our microwave popcorn nearly a decade ago, and we were among the first popcorn makers to remove added diacetyl from all microwave popcorn products in 2007. Additionally, Orville Redenbacher's transitioned to non-PFOA materials in microwave popcorn packaging six years ago.

Back before our time towards the end of the 19th Century, military uniforms were traditionally brightly coloured. (Think bright red jackets worn by horsemen charging across green fields with their muskets at the ready.)
These distinctive forms of uniform had a number of strategic purposes: it allowed generals (or whoever was in charge) to see at a glance where their own troops were, it stopped soldiers from unintentionally slaying one of their own, and in certain cases where a particular regiment had a fearsome reputation, the mere sight of their distinctive colours could be enough to send terror through the enemy, forcing a retreat. (See an interesting history of military camouflage clothing, here.)
However time marched on, military technology improved, and with the development of weapons with longer ranges and greater accuracy (e.g. rifles, machine guns, grenades, missiles) it was not advantageous to signpost to the enemy exactly where you were.
So, what we now think of as regular army dress (khaki and camouflage) was developed as a way of disguising personnel in the field. The mottled colouration of garments is designed to blend with the natural background and it is available in a variety of colourways to blend with different environments.
However one instance where it would have the opposite effect is if you were to wear full camouflage gear and walk through a busy urban area. In fact, far from blending in, it would probably rouse a great deal of suspicion.
It is one of the ironies of the present day that one of the best ways to blend in, in almost any circumstance, is to don a garment which was originally designed to make you stand out - the high-visibility fluoro vest.
Fluorescent clothing was originally a military development (during World War II) designed to protect soldiers from unintentional friendly fire. Now, high-visibility clothing is worn by everyone from post delivery workers to road crew, cyclists to removalists. If you want to look like you have an 'official' reason to be somewhere, put on a fluoro vest and you can walk around unaccosted.
In an article in The Guardian in 2005, Jon Ronson examined this phenomenon:
"So maybe ubiquity is to blame. Or perhaps, as dazzling as high-visibility clothing is, even more compelling is the public's desire not to notice those people who scurry around at our feet, fixing holes, mending tracks, cleaning up after us. We trust them and we don't want to think about them. This is how Bryan Ferry's son Otis and the other fox hunting aficionados got into the House of Commons to disrupt a debate last year. They put on fluorescent jackets and told the first policeman they met that they were "going to inspect the electrics". The policeman shrugged and waved them on.
The surveillance specialist Peter Jenkins - who teaches private investigators how to follow people without being spotted - is a fan of the fluorescent jacket, too. He says that if you're observing a target in a rural environment, use hedges and ditches and trees. But if you want to be invisible in a city, just put on a fluorescent jacket and sit in the passenger seat of a transit van, or queue up at a telephone box. (Remember to turn off your mobile phone first.)"I drove past a neighbour's house a few days ago where two guys wearing high-vis tops were filling an unmarked truck with furniture and effects from the house. They (the neighbours) may have actually been being robbed, but the wearing of the high-vis clothing reassured me that a legitimate house move was taking place.
But was this a fair assumption?
According to an item on the BBC website, thieves just this month targeted homes in an English housing estate while clean-up from a flood was occurring:
"Walsall Council leader Mike Bird said thieves had been spotted wearing high-visibility vests to blend in with council workers helping with the clear up."We rarely give a second glance to 'fluoro-collar workers'. Add an ID on a lanyard round their necks and we'd never question their legitimacy.
But the flip side of this, is that we also don't notice those workers. They are, in fact, rendered invisible by their visibility and we don't necessarily see them as individuals doing a valued job.
UK photographer, Stephen Gill explored this concept in his 2005 book and exhibition, Invisible which contained photographs of all those people who, by the wearing of high-visibility clothing were rendered invisible to the general public. He was inspired by his own experience as a photographer. He had discovered that by wearing a fluoro vest he drew very little attention to himself when carrying a camera, far less than if he wasn't wearing one.
Do you notice the 'fluoro-collar' workers? Is it time for a new form of high-visibility?

Missile Defense Spat: A New Arms Race Looms between Russia and US
The US and Russia intended to "reset" their relations under US President Barack Obama. Instead, however, the two countries continue to squabble over the planned missile shield, which Washington insists is to protect against attack from Iran. The debate shows signs of turning into a new arms race.
Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's ambassador to NATO, wanted to push his American negotiating partner into a corner. "If space aliens were to completely disarm Iran," he asked, "would Washington continue with its plans to build a missile defense system in Poland?"
The defense shield is designed to intercept missiles from rogue states like Iran, the United States has repeatedly insisted. The conversation between the Russian ambassador and his US counterpart, which Rogozin told SPIEGEL about last week, took place in Washington behind closed doors on July 22. And the answer, given by President Barack Obama's undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, Ellen Tauscher, was reportedly unambiguous: Yes, she said. The plan has been decided upon and will be carried out.
Rogozin sees the response as conclusive evidence that the defense shield is effectively bulwark against Russia. "America is shifting the strategic balance to its advantage in that it wants to neutralize Russia's nuclear deterrence potential," the top-level diplomat said. "The Kremlin is fed up with being taken for fools by the Americans."
The battle over missile shields is an old one. But it has now rendered the planned "reset" of US-Russian relations, pursued by the young and weak leaders Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, a failure. Instead, a new arms race is looming.
Increasing Firepower
Evidence of that new arms race came last Tuesday, with Medvedev's appearance in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, which borders the NATO and EU members Poland and Lithuania. The president pointedly activated a radar station. Medvedev had already announced that Russia would install modern Iskander short-range missiles near the NATO border if the US didn't back down. The missiles can be fitted with nuclear warheads and would be directed at the planned US defense positions in Europe, which are scheduled to be ready by 2020. "If NATO improves its defense shield we must unfortunately sharpen our swords," said Rogozin.
Meanwhile, Medvedev has threatened to pull out of an April 2010 disarmament agreement pertaining to strategic launcher systems. Under that deal, both nuclear powers have committed to further reduce their number of intercontinental nuclear missiles.
For a while Medvedev and Obama had taken a completely different approach. The US president supported Russia's entrance into the World Trade Organization (WTO); he avoided any open criticism of human rights abuse in Russia; and the US rolled back its support for Kremlin adversaries such as the government in Georgia. In return, Moscow halted delivery of air defense systems to America's archenemy Iran. The Kremlin allowed Washington to repeatedly transport provisions to US troops in Afghanistan via Russian territory.
Staking out Positions
But on the issue of missile defense systems, there was no breakthrough, even though a missile shield operated jointly by the Americans and the Russians could turn the former rivals into permanent partners. But Washington -- and here Obama resembles his predecessor George W. Bush -- categorically refuses to let agreements with Moscow hamper its influence. The Kremlin, meanwhile, insisted on a written guarantee that the West's firepower would not increase to the point that Russia wouldn't have a chance against it, even with nuclear weapons. The Russians also wanted to limit the number of American defense systems and to prevent US missiles from reaching Russian territory.
In this dispute, Europe is little more than a political football between the two powers, but could also become the victim. As in the Cold War era, the Russian missiles would be directed at European targets.
"For America, it is all about making itself impregnable," Rogozin complained. But fears over Iran would be more successfully quashed by cooperating with Russia, he said. "We are prepared to make our radar stations in Azerbaijan and southern Russia available, if we had a partnership on equal terms," Rogozin said.
Such a plan makes more sense, because the defense system in Poland is too far away from Iran, according to Rogozin. "With missiles it is like with ducks," he said. "You are best off shooting them at the start, when they are flying lower and more slowly."

We thought this was just a funny video of frustrated soccer fans giving their team a big "F You" (but not an "F You" cause they're helping them , but really it's an "F You", passive aggressive to the max) by showing the players where the goal is, but the sped up remix version is a whole other beast.

Hi there,
I am fully aware that prototype questions are many in this discussion
list, but I would like to focus on something specific:
What would you recommend for allowing clients to put comments
directly on your prototype?
I am thinking of the functionality you have in Adobe Acrobat
Professional, where you can add notes to an existing document. I'd
like to use a wireframe/prototyping tool that allows for this.
Axure seems like a good tool, but doesn't seem to have commenting
ability unfortunately. Am I right about this?
Hello, i have recently been given the task of identifying prototyping
tools to test high fidelity and high functionality. Our goal is to
have prototypes that will be high enough quality to work as design
I have looked at Axure and iRise but am unsure about their ability to
handle interactions like resizing and Drag n Drop.
Has anyone used found a tool that handles those dynamic aspects well?
Am I just better off using a javascript library?
Has anyone used a fluid 960 grid framework for rapid prototyping?e.g.
I'm particularly interested in how usable it is for a UX person like
me with *some* (i.e. junior level) CSS/XHTML knowledge. I've had a
quick play with it, but wondering how practical and efficient it is
for 'mock ups' and client work.
I can see it being extremely efficient down the line when moving into
development (i.e.
Hello all IxD'ers I'm working on a new presentation on the area of

as flexible and able to quickly make gigantic changes to their system
because this is the kind of market we operate in as a company. We
mainly do in our department intranets and corporate websites based on
big platforms like SharePoint.
Recently I have been getting increasingly frustrated by the
limitations of Omnigraffle and the complexity and bugs of using
Visio, not to mention having to switching between operating systems
to use Visio when i am a mac user.
So I am very interested in the increase in talk of people using

symbols to reuse across the document, so a footer for example can be

I just wanted to put in a shameless plug for my proposed SXSW talk on
rapid prototyping...
I've done the talk at a couple other events, including Web 2.0 Expo,
and it always generates great feedback.
I want an opinion about iRise:
By watching their videos I got an impression that is too back-end
focussed. No much room for a 'rapid' UX mind-set. For that I tend to
stand for Axure. Light and fast prototypes with documentation. I have
no experience with iRise and depending on complexity it might bring
benefits to the requirements management and other parts of the
application development, e.g. back-end programming, test scripts and
so on. It looks overkilling to test UX, though.
Is someone, focused on UX, actually using it? For fast simulations in
an iterative design process?

text: KOLKATA: The board of Haldia Petrochemicals Limited, which met in Delhi on Tuesday, dodged the outstanding issues responsible for the straining of relations between the two principal promoters - The Chatterjee Group and the West Bengal government. "It was a normal and routine board meeting," industry secretary of West Bengal government Sabyasachi Sen told the agency when asked whether issues like the Company Law Board (CLB) and buying back of West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation shares by TCG cropped up at the board meet. The HPL board, which met for the first time since the tussle between the two came out in the open, discussed issues related to the company's performance, he said. Purnendu Chatterjee of TCG too told the agency that it was a "normal board meeting". Asked whether the issue of buying out state government's shares in HPL by TCG was discussed, he said "It was within the ambit of discussion in the meet." The board meet assumes significance in view of the CLB hearing which is slated for January 12 and 13, 2006.

Bring water to near boil and let all the spices steep for ten minutes covered.
Add soy milk while still warm.
Add grated nutmeg and honey (or maple syrup) to taste.
You can experiment with the amounts of spices.
The tea has a warming affect, and can be served hot, medium, or chilled.
I only use the best spices (which is why I shop at The Spice House), and organic everything when possible.
I make my own soy milk at home from organic beans, organic honey, organic ginger, etc. Important! Use only filtered water!
This recipe was provided by M. Smith from Chicago.

"Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Agoraphobia Made Simple" is a treatment manual for these conditions. This means that it lays out a complete set of steps that enable an individual to overcome them. The author has gone to great lengths to explain these conditions and how to become free of them in everyday, conversational language that can be understood by anyone. Thus, the person suffering from these conditions can follow and apply it her- or himself. This manual is also intended for therapists who are treating such individuals. The therapist and patient can follow the program step by step over the course of treatment with the therapist adding her/his own knowledge and expertise as needed to smooth out any difficulties that arise.
The treatment program given in "Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Agoraphobia Made Simple" was first developed in the mid-1970's. At that time, a counseling intern in the author's mental health clinic approached him about creating a treatment program for these conditions. She explained that she had been an agoraphobic herself and had struggled with it for many years until she ultimately overcame it. She had received little help from the medical profession which, at the time, was largely unaware of the condition or how to treat it. Her experience left her with the desire to become a counselor herself and develop a treatment program specifically to help others who suffered with these conditions so that they would not have to go through the same arduous struggle that she had. She and several other therapists were in process of developing such a program and asked the author if he would be willing to provide the psychiatric expertise and backup for their efforts. The resulting innovative and highly successful program is recorded in this book. Hundreds of patients found relief from their sufferings through the program's combination of methods from many forms of therapy including Cognitive Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Insight-oriented Psychotherapy, Family Therapy and meditation. Additionally, a crucial understanding of the psychological causes of these conditions was discovered and is given here.
The following excerpt provides further detail as to the contents of the book as well as a sense of the style in which it is written:
"As you can see, I have found that the program in this manual works. Some of it is mainstream Psychiatry and some is not. Where I depart the most from the treatment that is increasingly being offered by Psychiatrists nowadays is with regard to medication. There is a growing acceptance in Psychiatry of the idea that mental disorders are biologically caused and that they should be treated with medications. I don't agree. I believe that many disorders, including Panic Disorder, have psychological reasons behind them. These reasons can be understood. By understanding them and taking psychological steps, people can grow. This not only results in overcoming the condition, but people also attain better, healthier and more fulfilling lives. And I have seen it happen over and over again. So that is the approach in this program – mainstream or not.
Finally, as I said in the Preface, this book is for your liberation. It points you to where many others have found freedom. You have all the resources you need to walk this path. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and your success is inevitable."

This is requried reading for anyone giving advice to new players:https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11707/page/1
1. Armor is no less prone to "RNG" than Evasion.
Armor is not a flat damage reduction. Armor is significantly less effective versus critical strikes. Monsters critically strike randomly. It is possible to take random spikes of damage while in armor.
2. Armor is actually more prone to spikes in damage taken than Evasion.
Evasion has psuedo-RNG. The same monster CANNOT hit you in long consistent strings, if a monster hits you X times, your evasion rating will FORCE a miss after a certain number of landed hits. Go read the mechanics thread. Evasion also has a hidden mechanic of reducing enemy critical strike chance.
Monsters in POE do not have random spurts of accuracy, they have a constant accuracy rating that can only be modified by auras/mods. Armor, on the other hand, will often take random amounts of damage because of sudden lucky critical hits from monsters.
3. Evasion is not a substitute for life. Neither is armor.
I'm tired of people saying that evasion sucks and that all dex classes must go iron reflexes. If you have a decent enough maxmimum life, evasion and/or armor are good. Evasion is best against single hard-hitting targets, like rares and bosses. Armor is best against swarms of enemies, where you're frequently surrounded and struck many times in a short time.
Stop convincing new players that evasion is "RNG" - it's not. You will not take some random burst of damage under evasion that kill you any more often than if you were using armor. If you're being one-shot in evasion gear, you would have been one-shot in armor - Brutus landing a crit on either defensive spec is going to hurt massively. Make sure you have a sufficient amount of maximum life.
Spreading misconceptions is toxic to the game as it gives the developers the wrong impressions about game balance and makes new players think like they have "no choice". New players also spread these misconceptions unknowingly. Stop influencing them.

The second part of our killer focaccia bread series involves a number of special steps which separate this focaccia recipe from all other more ordinary bread recipes.
If the key to great killer focaccia is a ciabatta-like very moist dough, how do we mix and pamper a wet and sloppy dough? How do you knead something that is sticky, tacky and flowing? My focaccia never leaves the 8 qt-salad bowl until it goes onto the baking sheet. A number of other home bakers have recommended this bowl technique and it is a great one.
My preferment/poolish begins in a smaller bowl but then is combined into the salad bowl where it is mixed with the other ingredients after 5 or 6 hours. I "knead" with a spoon or spatula, turning the dough over on itself 100 beats or turns. At this point, I carefully lift the dough with the spatula away from the bowl and oil the sides of the bowl.
Focaccia Recipe Information
1 ¾ cups water (80 degrees)
¼ cup probiotic drink: Kombucha or bread drink
2 cups of flour.
1 package dry yeast
1 Tablespoon sugar.
Read the directions on the yeast package; some yeast needs to be dissolved in the water to make it active; other yeast is mixed directly into the flour. Both work, but read the directions! Mix together, consistency should be like a pancake batter. I cover the bowl and poolish with a plastic bag and set aside for 5 or 6 hours.
1 cup water (80 degrees)
3 cups flour
1 package dry yeast
1 Tablespoon sea salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
Preferment from above.
The sugar is not absolutely necessary, but with home baking, we never know how much simple sugar from the damaged starch is available in the flour and adding sugar ensures the rising and the coloration of the focaccia. Mix as described above with about 100 beats of spoon, using a turning rather than a beating technique. Follow the dough rest and rising instruction, then bake in a very hot, 500 degree oven, turning the temperature down for the last 5 minutes of the 23-minute bake.

Gimme Shelter was to chronicle a tour of the United States in 1969 by the Rolling Stones, the so-called bad boys from England. As a kind of "thank you" to America, the Stones planned to host a free concert in San Francisco. Unable to locate a venue, the concert was finally set at Altamont Speedway with little planning or foresight. Mick Jagger extolled their hopes for the concert in the film, saying, "It sets an example to the rest of America, as to how one can behave in nice gatherings."
The film was to be directed by David and Albert Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin. The Maysles brothers were known for what they called "direct cinema" which utilized the techniques of fictional films to shape the reporting of actual events. This type of nonfiction filmmaking relied heavily on editing to form the context and structure of the film.
The Stones hired the Hell's Angels for security partly on the recommendation of the Grateful Dead. The Stones had also used Hell's Angels for security at a free concert in Hyde Park without problem, little realizing that the American Hell's Angels were much more riotous and prone to excessive drug use. In the guise of instilling order, the Angels used pool cues to beat the audience and threw full beer cans at them. The Rolling Stones' road manager decided that moving the Angels closer to the stage might settle the rowdy Angels down, and bought the Angels' beer for $500, moving it next to the stage, thus, the origin of the legend that the Angels were paid in beer. The stage was only a foot above the audience which made security even more difficult. Things started to get violent during the Jefferson Airplane's set. Singer Marty Balin objected to the way the Angels were acting and got knocked out by one. By the time the Stones got on stage, fights were appearing all over the crowd. As Sympathy for the Devil started playing, the Angels got into a fight with 18-year-old Meredith Hunter, who, when he pulled out a gun, was stabbed to death by the Angels in front of the camera. By this point, the Stones were playing Under My Thumb, and were valiantly trying to calm the audience, aware that some disturbance was occuring, but not realizing that someone had been killed. Three other deaths occurred at Altamont that day: 2 people in sleeping bags were run over, and one person drowned in a puddle. The magazine Rolling Stone reported, "Even the most incomplete medical reports show that this was a festival dominated by violence."

This is a discussion on Microsofts $300 million ad campaign tumbles with new PC ads - Linux ; Microsoft promised that the first ads were just a teaser leading up to an expanded series that would get to the point.

Microsoft promised that the first ads were just a teaser leading up to
an expanded series that would get to the point. Yet after seeing the
public reaction to the ads, Microsofts PR group, Waggener Edstrom,
put the series on hold, trying to spin the apparent cancelation as a
planned progression to phase two, suggesting that the plan all along
was to pay Seinfeld $10 million for two surreal teasers.
That story was outed as false when it was revealed that a third ad
with Gates and Seinfeld had already been produced, but hasnt yet been
aired, and that there is no current plan to publish it.
....Of course, its also ironic that they chose Seinfeld, who was not
only featured in a Think Different ad by Apple back at the height of
his popularity (below), but that Seinfeld also prominently displayed
Macs in his fictitious apartment throughout the entire run of his TV
The circumstances of the Seinfeld ads left the appearance that Gates
was trying to buy cool by running along after Apple looking for things
to copy, the very thing Microsoft was trying to convey that it wasnt
Gates has bristled at the Get a Mac ads on several occasions before,
which comically present John Hodgman as a PC character befuddled by
problems, often with Vista. When asked in an interview if he
identified himself with the PC character in Apples ads, Gates stormed
out of the studio.
The entire campaign seems to be more focused on Gates intent to erase
his perceived slight in being portrayed as a befuddled nerd rather
than in presenting Microsoft as a strong and attractive brand.
Microsoft already avoids using its company name on products it wants
to market as cool, including the Xbox and Zune....
The problem of course is that Apple presents the Mac in contrast to PC
because it wants to avoid any unnecessary mention of Windows. By
copying Apples line, Microsoft will be spending millions to advertise
the PC rather than the Windows brand.
Further, as PC companies such as Dell and Acer continue to seek new
ways to use Linux in place of Windows, and as the top PC vendor HP
begins its own efforts to create a Windows alternative as reported by
BusinessWeek, the idea of advertising the PC would do even less for

- History - The doily is one of the oldest incarnations of crochet. Crochet became popular in Europe in the 19th century, and white, crocheted lace doilies were a must-have accessory for any household.
- Innovation - Like all art forms, crochet has evolved through the ages and artists have incorporated the trends into their work. Quick, chunky yarn projects are on trend right now, and so are modern, brightly-colored doilies.
- Relevance - In these difficult economic times, where petroleum costs are skyrocketing, I think it's interesting to see a petroleum-based (acrylic) yarn used to adorn a petroleum-driven machine. Ironically, while gas prices rise, acrylic yarn remains very affordable. It's the perfect yarn to use on this type of project. It will never lose its color and it will remain fresh in all kinds of weather.
- Self-Expression - This yellow doily on the yellow car is a bold statement to the world: I CROCHET!

Stopping the hand grenades and seeing the living Christ
July 23, 2008
My Dear Bishops,
Please know that you and all the Bishops are in our constant prayers as you attend this Lambeth Conference.
From this side of the pond we are receiving reports of deep and broad conflict, of The Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson's exclusion from a HOB meeting, the calls by 17 Provinces for his resignation, and The Rt. Rev. Iker's challenge to all American Bishops who support him to leave.
I hope and pray that much of this news is media sensationalism. Even so, it is what we are being fed from Lambeth portals; we have no other word.
I also hope and pray that you remember us in your prayers in that many of the congregation at St. ------- personally identifies with the discipleship of Bishop Robinson, and that what is happening to him is happening to many of us. We are not so much interested at this point in the politics, cultural conflict and maneuvering as we are concerned that the dehumanizing language from Bishops in the church we call home desist. I fully realize that there is not much that you can personally do to stop it; I merely hope that you will remember us, and speak and weep for us and with us in light of these words which are as brutal as any nail or spear which pierced human flesh.
Yours in Christ,
Tonight, I was encouraged to see that Bishop Jones does indeed understand the violence being done. I found this quote at Episcopal Life Online:
David Jones, suffragan bishop of Virginia, said, "We need to talk, but we're not going to solve the problems by throwing hand grenades. We need to see the living Christ in each other."
Thank you Bishop --yes indeed. Not slings and arrows but grenades. I hope my Bishops will find a way to speak out against the hand grenades. And see the living Christ in one and all.

In all my time on the Internet I have never come across one liberal, radical, progressive or even bog-standard, middle of the road Anglican, who has threatened to leave the Church or asked others to leave. Yet the bishops continue to come out with these platitudes that compare us as like for like.
The fact is that those who wish to exclude gay people and their supporters from full membership of the Anglican Church are wrong. There is no middle way. Either we are inclusive or we are not. And for true Anglicans this will mean including those who are not inclusive as well as our gay brothers and sisters. Therein lies the difference.
Talking will not achieve anything quick enough to stop the further suffering of the excluded. So the bishops should stop talking and get on with it - whatever "it" is.

Yes MP--I believe you are right. I have not heard one "progressive" asking others to leave the table.
And, in the meantime, the sing-song "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is a blatant lie. People are truly suffering with the abuse being hurled about.
That one of my three Bishops finally felt the grenades of the words is very heartening.
It is time for all the words and speeches to stop and for full inclusion to be a reality; I am not at all hopeful that the Bishops of VA will do anything until the law suits come to some kind of a conclusion, and that could be years. And years.
I am so far beyond being ready to act.....

Bless you and your congregation for your insistence upon justice and inclusion. It is long past the time when the body of Christ ought to be talking about inclusion - the time is now to practice the inclusion and love that Christ calls us to live.

And there are way, way, way, WAY more sticks and stones, and midnight abusive phone calls, and harassment, and hate mail, and threats...being bandied..in both (or, indeed, ALL) directions, all the time, alas...than we wot of, despite the media. Any perceived haggardness and pallor in the ranks of the episcopate is fully explicable...

NAPA -- At points last season, Raiders defensive tackle was Pat Sims was virtually unstoppable.
A Dec. 10 contest at San Diego immediately comes to mind, when he had 15 tackles and a sack against the Chargers. While stats aren't an accurate barometer for a defensive tackle's impact, there were games where it was fair to wonder where Big Pat went.
The 6-foot-2, 310-pound veteran was a source of frustration, because he showed flashes of how good he could be. If only, however, he showed up every week.
This training camp, the Raiders have seen signs that he will. Sims seems energized, excited about the prospect of playing with high-profile veterans.
"I really think this defense could be fierce and I want to be a big part of it," Sims said last week. "I think it's going to be an exciting year."
[RELATED: New veterans bring life, lessons to D-line]
A motivated Sims is a dangerous one. That's what the Raiders were hoping for when they brought him back on a one-year $1.45 million contract that can be worth up to $2 million.
So far, the returns have been positive.
"I see a completely different Pat Sims," Raiders defensive line coach Terrell Williams said. "He can do anything he wants to do in this league. I truly believe that. He's being physical. He's pushing the pocket in the pass game. … Any time you can put that body mass in the middle, the defense has a chance."
He'll feature heavily in the base defense, especially on rushing downs, playing nose guard or defensive tackle. With the way Sims has been practicing, and the way he'll be used, the sky seems to be the limit.
"I thought at times he played really well last year and there were some games that he was dominant in the games," head coach Dennis Allen said. "I've seen a different demeanor out of Pat Sims this year, maybe a little bit different focus. He's come in and really competed hard and he's playing well for us right now. We're excited about Pat Sims."
