Fluff. For those of you who regularly read articles at HTL, you know that is what goes here and in the next paragraph. There is no product info, typically not even a mention of the product being reviewed. Just fluff that can somehow be tied to some aspect of the product that begins the third paragraph. However, there are times that a product is so loaded with features that either the product description suffers or the fluff needs to take a backseat. Since we have the Phanteks Enthoo Primo on tap, fluff loses.
While this may be their first chassis to market, Phanteks is not exactly known for subtle market entrances. Just two years ago, Phanteks released their first product, the PH-TC14PE, and it was (and is) simply the best performing air cooler on the market. Follow up coolers did not stray from this path, and now just the pre-release photos and showings of their first chassis, the Enthoo Primo, have enthusiasts everywhere expecting more of the same. The Phanteks Enthoo Primo is a very different take on a full tower chassis, with a layout unlike anything we have seen before. At every turn it is unique, and every design nuance makes perfect sense in functionality and is aimed squarely at the enthusiast. There is no doubt that Phanteks wants to begin their trek through the chassis market in exactly the same place that they begin their cooling trek, sitting at the top.
The Phanteks Enthoo Primo uses a unique modular design to great advantage for thermal isolation and improved structural rigidity. With enclosed HDD bays, an isolated PSU area with dual PSU capability, that also features dedicated pump mount areas, and cable covers, the Enthoo Primo is one of the slickest looking designs we have ever seen. With Phanteks as the designer, one would anticipate that cooling would be at the forefront, and five included 140mm fans back that thought up. While there is no front panel fan controller, Phanteks implements a unique PWM hub which allows up to eleven 3-pin fans to be plugged in and controlled by one PWM signal. We all know Phanteks for their air cooling, however, it is the incredible versatility for water cooling that makes the Enthoo Primo stand out even further. The top and bottom of the case are both capable of radiators up to 480mm, while the front and side can both house radiators up to 240mm. The seating of top and bottom radiators allows for push/pull fan mounting, with the bottom having enough room for even 80mm rads with push/pull without any MB obstruction. There are two reservoir mounting locations with pre-drilled holes on the interior of the case, as well as a pump mount with multiple mounting locations. To keep all of your fans running cleanly, easily accessible dust covers are at every fan location. However, the Enthoo Primo is not all about functionality. The case is finished all in black with a large side window and black brushed aluminum on the front and top. Running the length of the aluminum is a blue LED strip, and front fans also feature blue LED (all can be turned on or off at the push of a button). Styling is sleek and minimalistic, with a distinct aura of quality. Front I/O is set into the recessed strip of the top panel, and is both functional and good looking.

Re: ikyo - problems
Cimerio Santana
my teacher speak: repeat, repeat, until works (aikikai super traditional)
the failure does not necessarily occur with the strongest. The problem: not all resists the same way. some leave movement occurs without resistance.
when there is resistance, I can not keep the body of the uke in the same vein of the arm.
example: if I make ikyo in the the right arm of the uke -> my right hand low his fist, but my left hand can not low the rest of the arm.
if I put my left hand nearest the shoulder, the pressure on him will be stronger?
advised me to stay as close to the body of the uke?
correct mode e my wrong mode (final position):
Dear Cimerio,
If your illustration is correct , you have got some basics incorrect.In your example ukes elbow is higher than his right hand.The fact is that the elbow has to receive enough pressure applied by whatever arm is nearer to uke, in a downward motion,while your hand which is controlling the wrist of uke, must be at a higher level.you first illustration shows this point clearly .Your own example is the reverse of the line drawing.
While timing is important , nothing wrong with an atemi to the dead side [the rib area/chin ] takes the intent away from uke thus giving you an opening to complete the waza. Some tough guys need a bit of gentle persuasion before they go down /bite the dust.cheers,, joe.

It looks as if the "spring swoon" is back.
U.S. employers added an estimated 88,000 jobs to their payrolls last month, compared with 268,000 in February, according to a Labor Department report released Friday. It was the slowest pace of growth since last June, and less than half of what economists had expected.
It also was the start of a third consecutive spring in which employers have tapered off their hiring after a healthy start to the year. Slowdowns in the previous two years could be attributed to flare-ups in the European debt crisis, but this time the cause is unclear. The recent payroll tax increase or political gridlock in Washington could be to blame for the sudden retreat in hiring, but neither seems to be showing up much in other relevant economic data.
"People were starting to believe the economy was really picking up steam, and desperately wanted this report to be better," said Joshua Shapiro, chief economist at MFR Inc. "But that didn't happen."
Economists like Shapiro cautioned that the numbers, which are adjusted for normal seasonal variations, are very volatile from month to month and are still subject to revision.
Nonetheless, the closely watched monthly jobs report was discouraging.
The unemployment rate, which comes from a different survey, ticked down to 7.6 percent in March, from 7.7 percent, but for the wrong reason: because more people reported dropping out of the labor force (meaning they are neither working nor looking for work), not because more people were hired.
The labor force participation rate has not been this low — 63.3 percent — since 1979, a time when women were less likely to be working.
Baby boomer retirements may account for part of the slide, but discouragement about job prospects in a mediocre economy still seems to be playing a large role, economists say.
"The drop in the participation rate has been centered on younger workers," said Shapiro, "many of whom have given up hope of finding a decent job and are instead continuing in school and racking up enormous amounts of student debt, which has contributed to the recent surge in consumer credit outstanding."
Investors initially responded to the jobs report by sending the major stock market indexes down more than 1 percent. But as the day went on, strategists sent out reports noting that the economic slowdowns in previous years ended up being temporary. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index climbed back to end the day down only 0.4 percent.
"Given the noise in the data you don't want to set your pants on fire about it," said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase.
Job gains in March were concentrated in professional and business services and health care.
The government again shed workers, as it has been doing for most of the last four years, though reductions at the Postal Service accounted for most of the latest decline. Economists expect more government layoffs in the months ahead as the effects of Washington's across-the-board budget cuts make their way through the system.
"While the recovery was gaining traction before sequestration took effect, these arbitrary and unnecessary cuts to government services will be a headwind in the months to come, and will cut key investments in the nation's future competitiveness," Alan B. Krueger, the chairman of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, said in a statement.
The latest report should quiet speculation that the Federal Reserve will take its foot off the monetary accelerator anytime soon, as some had suggested after a spike in hiring in February. Even before Friday's numbers came out, though, Fed officials had expressed concerns about not only the pace of job growth, but the quality of hiring as well.
"It's important to look at the types of jobs that are being created because those jobs will directly affect the fortunes and challenges of households and neighborhoods as well as the course of the recovery," Sarah Bloom Raskin, a member of the Federal Reserve Board, said in a recent speech.
She noted that relatively low-wage sectors like food services and retail businesses have accounted for a large share of the job growth in the last few years; a report in August from the National Employment Law Project, a liberal advocacy group, found that a majority of jobs lost during the recent recession were in the middle range of wages, while a majority of those added during the recovery have been low-paying.
In March, in fact, jobs in food services and drinking places accounted for the largest share of total American employment on record. Today nearly 1 in 13 American jobs is in this industry.
Raskin also expressed concern about temporary jobs, which account for a growing share of total employment.
"Temporary help is rapidly approaching a new record," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, who noted that there was also a rapid increase in temp hiring during the boom years of the 1990s. "That of course means more flexibility for employers, and less job security for workers."

(Submission #64)
The INSPIRE initiative is all about increasing data accessibility across the EU member states. This session presents lessons learned and challenges to making this happen from our experience building a prototype system for INSPIRE. This prototype is based on Protected Sites data from two different source schemas provided by the Swedish EPA. The prototype system works to address several key aspects of the problem. First, the prototype is based on web technologies and addresses the challenges of both data publishers and data consumers. Second, the prototype illustrates how to reconcile data model and data format differences between the source data from the data providers, the unified storage schema, and finally, the delivered GML data in the INSPIRE schema. Third, the system ensures that any data uploaded must be "fit for use". That is, the prototype demonstrates ways to easily add and enforce data quality rules. While this need competes with the need to make data publishing easy and non-intrusive, data validation is important, as without it there is no way for data customers to have confidence in the available data. This session will discuss how this is done in the prototype so that a publishing organization is notified in a timely fashion of any data quality concerns, thereby protecting data consumers from getting data that hasn't been validated. Finally, to be successful, any data distribution system must be able to distribute data quickly and efficiently. This session will outline how and where the data is stored so that INSPIRE GML can be generated and shared in a timely and seamless fashion. While OGC WFS in the INSPIRE schema is the primary delivery mechanism, the extensibility of the prototype to deliver data in other formats, protocols, and data models is also described.

A fight for the hearts and minds - not to mention the lungs - of every American who's lighting up for the first time or thinking of kicking the smoking habit is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a split ruling that accorded Big Tobacco little-deserved deference, a federal appeals court in Washington last week struck down the Food and Drug Administration's bold and sensible plan to require graphic warnings about the dangers of smoking on cigarette packs.
The court majority ruled that the FDA requirement violates tobacco firms' free-speech rights, saying it goes too far in seeking to "browbeat consumers into quitting" smoking. However, a different appeals court earlier ruled the labels are OK, which leaves it to the Supreme Court to resolve this issue. It should put public health ahead of tobacco profits.

When pushing my 4 yr old daughter, Nya, to eat the green things on her place the umpteenth time Sunday night, she paused and looked me square in the eye saying, "mommy, I made my choice," she gleamed.
Although she wanted to show her authority at that very moment, her words resounded in me this week. The dictionary defines the word "Choice" as an act or instance of choosing; selecting. The word gives you some power honestly. Greasy fast food can certainly satisfy that beast but crisp greens with red tomatoes and cucumbers, now that's making a choice!
Something about what she owned up led me to a few truths about myself?
(1) YOU GET WHAT YOU CHOOSE. We are all in control of our outcomes, really. We are responsible. It's easy to just give in to that McDonalds sitting on every corner or the Subway in every BP gas station in my hood. But reality is that that kind of journey that I've taken has led me here. 250 pounds, evil thoughts of suicide, destructive thoughts of giving up on my dreams and even worst, leaving a terrible and fat, unhealthy legacy for my daughter. We can choose to keep doing the same things, buying the same foods, getting more and more lazy about what goes into your mouth. We can choose to be the health nut in the family picky about what you eat. Or you can wait for the diabetes diagnosis that you know is coming if you don't already have it. If you get to choose your career, your car, where you live, work out and worship…..why not choose healthy?
(2) SETTLING FOR WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME OR WHAT'S IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT PAYING OFF. Anybody in my family will let you know that Detroit has never limited my way of thinking. I've experienced the tastes and cultures of other cities and countries and know that there's more than that fast food and mediocre grocery stores of the NW side of Detroit where I live and where most of my family lives. So many of us make the wrong choices with food because of our surroundings, what's in our pockets or EBT cards. It's cheaper to buy unhealthy food than healthy food. That's true. But being committed to a higher standard has always been my thing in life; with my education, career, productions and especially my editorial and digital content. Why not choice healthy with my body?
All of us that eat bad, or have a bad relationship with food has a profound opportunity to take power in choosing and making a big impact on the next generation. Maybe you'll be the one, like me, that'll never have to be on daily medication or never be diagnosis with hypertension. Maybe you're meant to be the one that loses that weight that's keeping your body and mind so grounded.

I've been asked if it's possible to replace 'me' in 'me, too' and 'me, neither' with another pronoun or a noun:
A: - I like beer.
B: - Me too. (pointing at C) and her too.
C: - Yes.
My immediate response was a firm no, but I thought it'd be better if I checked.

If you don't know where you started from, how can you tell how far you've come? One of the first steps you should take when beginning your personal branding journey – as well as periodically throughout the process – is to check on where you currently stand in the eyes of others.
Seeing Yourself Through Different Eyes
In the "real world," determining how others see you may involve asking friends, family, and mentors about their perceptions of you. Of course you have to filter through their biases and try to get to the real opinions, and ask enough people in order to get a general perspective rather than relying on the response of, say, your mother or your best friend (who, depending on how outspoken they are, may or may not be telling you the complete truth but what they believe would be easiest for you to digest or most desirable for you to hear at the time).
Thankfully in the online world, it isn't very difficult to get an unbiased "opinion." Search engine bots are mathematical – not social – and they don't experience negative consequences if they piss you off, nor rewards if they delight you. We will discuss getting a real-world perspective in a future post, but in this one we'll concentrate on setting your personal branding baseline with a simple online search for your name.
Establishing Your Personal Branding Baseline
Many people turn to Google, the largest search engine in the world, as a first step in finding information about any topic online. Therefore, in makes sense to check up on what information about you is available when someone types in your name.
In general, you want to be aware of both positive and negative search results. A positive result might be a link to your own homepage or online portfolio, your professional LinkedIn profile, or an article you wrote on someone else's website that relates to your career field. A negative search result might be an embarrassing photo or a link to your old LiveJournal account where you chronicled the horrible breakup you had with your ex.
So, go ahead and Google yourself in a new browser window.
Helpful Tips:
- Google now uses personalized search, which means that if you are using Google+, a Gmail account, or any other Google services, you will see different results than others users. Be sure to have "Hide personal results" toggled ON for more accurate results:
- Don't forget to wrap your name in quotation marks i.e. "your name."
Back yet?
Did anything surprising show up? Shocking? Incredibly flattering?
What is your ratio of positive to negative results?
- If you have more negative results than positive – fear not!
By proactively creating content that you are proud of, those negative links will eventually get buried (they may never disappear, unfortunately, but you can do everything in your power to ensure that it's not the firstimpression, nor one that most people will encounter).
- If you have more positive results than negative – congratulations!
You did something right, but it's your job to maintain and defend that positive press, otherwise something less flattering may surprise you one day. In addition, you can increase the value of your homepage and positive search results in many ways – but that's another topic for another day.
- If you have a common name or see very little content – you have some work to do!
Online personal branding can be very difficult if you share a name with, say, a celebrity. However, you can ensure that you are not lost in the shuffle by promoting your own results both online and offline. We will post on this topic at a later date.
Interactive Tool to Check Your Online Identity
If you'd like something even more concrete, check out the FREE Online ID Calculator tool which guides you through a series of questions and performs a calculation based on your inputs. At the end, it provides you with some additional guidance for making sense of the search results that come up when you Google yourself. You will be placed on a perceptual map in one of four categories: Digitally Distinct, Digitally Dabbling, Digitally Dissed, or Digitally Disastrous (the creators must have a thing for the letter "D").
When I did the quiz, I was placed in the Digitally Distinct category – the highest ranking – but even then the site had some helpful suggestions about increasing the diversity of my search results. Alas, the quest to build a perfect online personal brand in a constantly-evolving world wide web continues!
The tool was developed by authors William Arruda and Kirsten Dixson, who wrote the book "Career Distinction: Stand Out by Building Your Brand."
Next Steps
Once you've checked out how you're seen in search engines, determine your goals and then make an action plan.
Is your goal to bury negative results? Think about how they got there in the first place – sometimes a simple fix like changing the privacy settings on your personal facebook profile may be just the ticket. You won't see an immediate change, but check back in a month or two to see if they're gone. In addition, start thinking about content you'd like to see high in the rankings in their place.
Is your name very common, and your goal is simply to make an appearance? You could legally change your name. Perhaps a more practical idea is to start by brainstorming a new nickname, or handle, which is more distinct and which you can then promote throughout your social networks and even on your resume. Read this post about creating a good nickname.
Is your name uncommon, and your goal is to become searchable? You might begin by creating blog posts (assuming you've already registered for our Building Personal Branding network which includes the best blogging software package?), producing link-worthy content, and engaging in other SEO-building activities.

ISTANBUL – August 5, 2013 – With 18 days left in the Monochroma Kickstarter campaign, Nowhere Studios is proud to announce a special contest aimed squarely at the game's many fans: a video contest inspired by the deeply cinematic Monochroma universe – an alternate 1950s dystopia where technology enslaves thousands in a capitalist nightmare.
To date, Monochroma has secured $31,526 in pledges from 802 backers. The project needs to hit its funding goal of $80,000 by August 24 or development could be delayed indefinitely. However, if the funding goal is met, Monochroma will be released in December 2013 on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms — followed by Ouya, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Xbox One in 2014.
"This is it," says Burak Tezateser, Executive Producer of Monochroma. "We are running out of time. We need everyone who believes that games can be more than formulaic blockbusters or overgrown amusement rides. Talk to your friends, co-workers, and family members. Help us change the industry with a game that puts gameplay, atmosphere, and storytelling above focus tests and price targets—and share your vision with us."
To participate, fans must come up with a video of any length about Monochroma. It can be a Let's Play, a new teaser, a music video, or even an experimental short set in the Monochroma universe. Once the video is complete, entrants should post it to YouTube with a link to the Kickstarter campaign ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/445804219/monochroma) and send an email to email@example.com with the YouTube URL and contact information. Participants are free to use the game's Main Theme by psychedelic folk band Gevende.
The deadline for entries is Thursday, August 22 at 10 a.m. Pacific.
Those still "on the fence" can download a 30-minute, fully-featured demo at http://www. Monochroma game.com/ Monochroma/redirectdownloaddemo.html. The demo runs on most Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs.

After 39 Years on the Sidelines, Ray Meyer Is Within Shouting Distance of An Ncaa Title
For most of his 39 years at De Paul, a Catholic school on Chicago's North Side, Meyer labored far from the limelight. Then two seasons ago his Blue Demons made it to the Final Four of the NCAA (national collegiate) championships. Suddenly, amid all the coaches wearing three-piece suits and Pepsodent smiles stood a frumpy-looking, gap-toothed grandfather of 15 with a beatific grin or a frown like a thundercloud. America embraced him like a long-lost Dutch uncle.
The following year De Paul was ranked No. 1 for much of the season, and Meyer was forced to adjust to the big time. He was besieged by requests for interviews and had to hire a full-time secretary to handle the traffic. "If it weren't for the prestige," he declared, "I think I'd be happier being No. 2." In fact, a stunning second-round tournament loss to UCLA brought his season to a dismal conclusion.
Meyer's quest for the national title continues this year, in a setting more appropriate to such lofty pursuits. The Blue Demons are no longer confined to tiny Alumni Hall; they now play home games in the Rosemont Horizon, an arena accommodating 16,500 fans. When a mid-season defeat dropped them a couple of notches from No. 1 in the polls, Meyer was visibly relieved. "The monkey is off our back now," said Coach, who, instead of chastising his players as he might have in previous years, this time simply led them in prayer. "No. 1 doesn't count now," said Meyer. "It only counts at the end of the season." But that's fast approaching. De Paul is one of 48 teams entering the NCAA play-offs next month.
In addition to his formidable record (De Paul has had only five losing seasons in his nearly four decades as head coach), Meyer has built a reputation second to none. "It is unbelievable what he has done and the people whose lives he has touched," says Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps, who was born the year before Meyer came to De Paul. "His program has always had integrity, and his players really respect him. They never badmouth him after they leave." "In this business," adds former Marquette coach Al McGuire, "no one ever goes past 60. Ray Meyer has stood the test of time. He's tough, but never devious, and he always comes to win."
That lifelong dedication was fostered during a childhood on the playgrounds of Chicago's West Side. The youngest of nine children—his father was a candy wholesaler—Ray toyed with the notion of becoming a priest, but gave it up because it wouldn't have left him time for sports. Though he stands only 5'9", he went to Notre Dame on a basketball scholarship, which he supplemented by driving a beer truck. He was a forward on the national championship team of 1936 and captained the Irish in both his junior and senior years.
By the time he became De Paul's coach in 1942 (at a salary of $2,500 a year), Meyer had instructed at every level from college to semipro. His most productive assignment, though, was as coach of the St. Agatha's CYO girls' team. At forward was 5'4" Margaret Mary Delaney. "Oh, man," she remembers thinking about her new coach, "is he a hunk!" The sentiment was reciprocated, and they were married the year after he graduated from Notre Dame.
A devout Catholic, Meyer attends Mass before every game. The team is always booked into a hotel near a church, and though Mass attendance is optional, prayers are not. Before, during and after each game, the players hold hands and recite the Lord's Prayer. Not surprisingly, Meyer doesn't smoke, drink or swear. He does, however, scream a lot. His son Joey, 31 (who like his brothers Tom, 37, and Robert, 27, played guard for De Paul), recalls one dressing-down that began when Coach stormed into the locker room, picked up a chair and smashed it on a training table. The chair flew into splinters, slicing Coach's forehead and spattering his shirt with blood, but Meyer ranted on without missing a syllable.
Tom Meyer, now head coach at the University of Illinois-Chicago Circle, remembers the time when he told his father he had to quit the freshman team because of a recurrence of rheumatic fever. "My whole career is shot," the boy sobbed. "I have to leave school." Meyer Sr. was unmoved. "Why are you late for practice?" asked Coach.
"He treats the team the way he treats his family," says Joey, Ray's assistant and heir apparent, with an understanding grin and a shrug. "He has no patience with his family, no patience with his team."
Yet Coach claims he has mellowed. "Years ago," he says, "it never entered my mind a boy could have a problem at home and come to practice with that on his mind. I'd yell, but that didn't help. The problem was more important than basketball." Meyer still remembers the day he told one of his players to trim his Afro. "It's fine for you, Coach, to tell me to get it cut," said the player, "but when I go back to my neighborhood, I'm an outcast." "That started me thinking," says Meyer, "that my ways are not always the right ways." Still, he doesn't intend to stop shouting. "When I shout at the boys, it's only to get them serious," he says. "If you want them to play aggressively, you have to coach aggressively. The coach that sits on the sidelines doesn't get the job done."
Ironically, Meyer's job at De Paul was in jeopardy only 10 years ago. His 1970-71 team, captained by Joey, was the worst (8-17) he ever had, and the university, which is run by the Vincentian Fathers, considered de-emphasizing the basketball program. Meyer argued that all he needed was a bigger recruiting budget. When he got it, he promptly hired Joey as his chief recruiter. Since then De Paul has attracted a string of talented players, many of them inner-city blacks. "It helps to have someone like Joey to communicate with the team," observes Al McGuire. "Every year you get older, but the kids stay 17."
By far the most talented, and one of the most exasperating, of Meyer's new protégés is Aguirre (rhymes with acquire), a 21-year-old junior who is the unmarried father of a baby daughter. He and Coach first met several years ago when Aguirre was enrolled in Meyer's basketball summer camp. A cabin had been vandalized and Meyer suspected Aguirre. Coach pushed the teenager against a wall and shook him. Though Aguirre denies he was the culprit, he doesn't hold a grudge. "The Coach was right," he says. "He did what the situation called for."
Since then there have been other flare-ups between the coach and his All-America forward, who averages 24 points a game. "The relationship is complicated," says Joey Meyer, "because you've got two such big egos involved." This year, though, the two seem to have achieved a certain rapport. Aguirre, who could profitably have turned pro at the end of last season, instead sweated off more than 30 pounds, returned to school and showed newborn determination and thoughtfulness. "Coach has done so much for me, been so patient with me," Aguirre says. "I can't help loving a man like that." Meyer returns the compliment. "Mark grew up a lot," he says. "He's a much better player and a much better person."
Though Meyer maintains he is less obsessed with winning than he used to be, a claim those close to him vigorously dispute, his fascination with the game remains total. "The gym is my second home," he admits. "I never leave early." When he does return to his split-level house in suburban Arlington Heights, it is often to watch more basketball on any of his three television sets, sometimes tuning in more than one game at a time, and listening to still another on his transistor. Coach's summers are spent in Three Lakes, Wis. at the basketball camp he built more or less single-handedly 36 years ago. "That's what he loves most in life," says Joey. "When he's not teaching basketball, he's like a fish out of water." Even so, there has been speculation that if De Paul wins the NCAA title, Meyer will hang up his clipboard. Coach is noncommittal, but those who know him are dubious. "Ray will be coaching," says Al McGuire, "as long as they can carry him into the gym."

There is often much confusion around the various ISO 9000 standards because ISO 9000 is a series of documents that define requirements for the Quality Management System Standard and ISO 9000:2005 is one of those standards. (If in addition to learning what is ISO 9000, you are trying to gain ISO 9000 certification, you may instead want to look up ISO 9001 certification.)
ISO 9000:2005 (the actual standard name) explains the fundamentals of quality management systems (like ISO9001) and Vocabulary used in the ISO9000 Standards and:
ISO 9000:2005 focuses on what makes up a quality management system (or QMS). In a sense, it provides the framework for a group of standards that govern how a consistent, training-driven quality system should function. This is whether it is serving a wide variety of industries (like ISO 9001) or a more specific industry like the automotive standard ISO/TS 16949. In writing a standard to govern how a quality system should broadly function, ISO lays out the basics of such a system and provides definitions and concepts that can be applied to the ISO 9000 grouping of quality systems.
This standard is useful to a fairly specific set of users. It may include organizations that may be seeking to apply multiple standards. It might also include end users that want to understand how the quality of their products or services are maintained, those who wish to gain a broader understand of terms and definitions used in ISO constructed quality systems, those who must administer an ISO quality management system in some way (such as auditors, regulators, certification bodies etc.) and those seeking to develop standards of their own that might need to harmonize with what is ISO 9000 from the overall family/grouping perspective.
The previous version of ISO 9000:2005 was ISO 9000:2000. The last 4 digits (2000), represent the year of the last revision. People often confused ISO 9000:2000 with ISO 9001:2000, which has since been updated to ISO 9001-2008
Learn about the ISO 9000 Family of Standards, including these:
ISO 9001:2008 lists requirements, while ISO 9000:2005 and ISO 9004:2009 are Quality Guidelines. People often say "ISO 9000 certified", but what they mean is they have met the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard. Read about ISO 9001...

I had a squib round at the range today, and now I've got a bullet stuck in the barrel of my Sig P220 (.45).

What's the the best way to get the bullet out?
July 29, 2007, 11:41 PM
A lot of folks on here have mentioned using a wood dowel. Search and you should come up with some...
July 29, 2007, 11:41 PM
Squib rod (http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/productdetail.aspx?p=1251). Not a cleaning rod. Not a piece of steel you have lying around.
A section of brass rod that you can place in the barrel and hammer on.
I'll also second Reddbeccas notion to do it carefully. ;)
July 29, 2007, 11:41 PM
I had a squib at the range once. I took the cleaning rod off one of my AKs that I had with me and pounded it out.
July 29, 2007, 11:42 PM
I had the same problem about a month or so ago. Mine was a .45 in a 3.5 in. barrel. I used a old cleaning rod section and a gunsmithing mallet and it came right out. Scared the crap out me. Luckly for me it didn't go far enough in the barrel to chamber the next round because when it went off it cycled the next round. At first I thought I under charged it. Scared the crap out of me. Have fun popping the little bugger out.

July 29, 2007, 11:45 PM
Use a wood dowel approximately the size of the bore cut to a workable length and a mallet. Remove the barrel and place the breach against a wood bench or other soft surface with the feed ramp over the edge so it will not be damaged. Drive the bullet out the chamber end inserting the dowel from the muzzle end. Wood will prevent damage to the barrel.
July 30, 2007, 12:18 AM
A bit of Kroil or other penetrating oil left to soak for a while will do wonders as well.
July 30, 2007, 01:14 AM
good suggestions. Drop a little oil in the barrel to help it out, wood dowel/rod. Be very careful.
July 30, 2007, 02:39 AM
I had one recently. I had my SA cleaning rod and a brass jig and it put it in the barrel end and used the weight of the gun coming down on it to push it back out the chamber end. Two good bumps did it on the carpeted bench. If light force does not dislodge it stop and go home for some lubricant. I'll find me a brass rod at the recycling center for next time.
July 31, 2007, 01:28 AM
3/8" oak dowel (maybe 1/2" finished, not really sure) fit well in the barrel...three taps with the hammer and the bullet came out the chamber.
Thanks all.
July 31, 2007, 10:08 AM
Just make sure you clean the barrel well after your done if you use a wood dowel. The wood can scrape off and clog the rifling. That is why I prefer using the brass squib rods mentioned above.
July 31, 2007, 10:35 AM
I keep a long brass rod in my range bag. I only needed it once, but it kept me shooting istead of driving 22 miles home.
Too tight chamber/stuck reload.:banghead: SA fixed it though. :D
July 31, 2007, 10:43 PM
I keep an 8" piece of 5/16 aluminum rod in each of my shooting bags (3/8 is too big for 38/357/9mm, which is the biggest I shoot.) On the rare occasion I've had a squib, I've been able to take the barrel out, put the rod in from the muzzle, put the other end of the rod down on one of the wooden benches at the range, and just holding the barrel, pound it down a few times on the rod (like a metal fence post driver, for those of you who know how that tool works.) Haven't needed a hammer (knock on wood.)
July 31, 2007, 10:49 PM
Brass bore sized rod Lube from the chamber end drive the bullet out from the muzzle. 1 minute job

Hannah Cochran led the way for the Beavers in their win over the Wildcats. Cochran contributed two goals and one assist.
Beckey Stoffer and Brittany Mesler each recorded a goal in the game for Beaver Local. Stoffer also finished with one assist.
Maranda Kiddey made some key saves in goal for the Beavers. Kiddey finished the game with 12 saves.
Connor said her team's victory Saturday night against East Liverpool gave her team a confidence boost.
"With the win Saturday night against East Liverpool, the kids have more confidence," she said. "The kids are playing with a sense of urgency now."
Beaver Local is scheduled to return to the field at 5 p.m. Wednesday against Austintown Fitch. The game against the Falcons is the Beavers final regular season game of the season.
The sectional draw is scheduled for Sunday.
Beaver Local is one of the seven teams that will be competing in the Ohio Division II Eastern District Sectional Tournament is scheduled to be played Oct. 15-20 down at Red Devil Stadium in St. Clairsville.

In Search of a Common Platform for Collaboration
Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, June 2-5, 2014
Business, State and Civil Society co-exist with different interests. Schematically, the Business is supposed to make profit, the State to maintain order and to enable the two other actors to develop, and the Civil Society to promote common well-being and sustainable development. The actions of the three put them often in conflict especially between the First and the Third. The First, especially the big one, is known for making profit without care or with careless to social and environmental damages. The Third is known for defending social and environmental interests threatened by the First but does not produce economic advantage needed for development. The Second is supposed to control the situation. However, its need for financial support leads it sometimes to take the side of the First, while its need for political support puts it sometimes on the side of the Third. In what way the three can interact in a peaceful coexistence so that everyone gains its interest without harming the interest of the others and that their synergy moves towards a common well-being in a sustainable world? What kind of collaboration can be built between the three? Can CSR be an interface between the three? What is supposed to be the role of university in this dynamic of interactions?

PHOENIX - The trial of a Valley woman charged with brutally stabbing and shooting her former boyfriend in 2008 is underway.
Jodi Arias, 32, is accused of stabbing Travis Alexander 27 times, cutting his throat and shooting him in the head after an afternoon of sex.
Both the prosecution and the defense presented their opening arguments Wednesday.
The prosecution describes Arias as a cold-blooded murderer who tried to cover her tracks.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez told the jury, at first, investigators had no idea when Alexander was killed. By the time he was found dead in the shower, his body had started to bloat and decompose.
But Martinez said photos recovered from a camera found in the washing machine, along with the sheets from Alexander's bed, pointed to Arias.
The photos recovered were time stamped -- the first set snapped in the early afternoon.
"Not only was he very much alive. He was involved in these photographs with a woman. And yes, they were both sinning, because they were going at it. They were nude and yes they were engaged in sexual relations in these photographs," said Martinez.
Martinez went on to tell the jury the woman in the photos was Arias.
He described Arias as a scorned woman who stalked Alexander after he tried to break up with her.
A second set of photos show Alexander in the shower posing for the camera.
But at one point, Martinez says it appears the camera drops and the next set of photos are ones the killer doesn't want taken, but document when Alexander was attacked.
"You see this individual here [points to Arias] you see her foot. And not only do you see her foot, but you see Mr. Alexander's head, you see his arm, you see him bleeding profusely," said Martinez.
The defense paints a different portrait. One where Arias is the victim and Alexander was her abuser.
Defense Attorney Jennifer Wilmott told the jury that Alexander was controlling and abusive, then showed a picture of Arias wearing a t-shirt Alexander made with the possessive words, "Travis Alexander's".
"She knew that the one thing that calms his temper the quickest is sex. So as she's telling him, 'It's okay, I'll fix it, don't worry,' Travis grabbed her and spun her around. Afraid that he was going to hurt her, she was relieved when all he did was bend her over the desk," said Wilmott as she went on to describe the rough sexual encounter.
The defense says Alexander drove Arias into killing him.
"It was Travis' continual abuse and on June 4 of 2008, it had reached a point of no return. Sadly Travis left Jodi no other action but to defend herself," said Wilmott.
Prosecutors are asking for the death penalty. If convicted, Arias could become the fourth woman on Arizona's death row.

The Boston Red Sox placed lefthander Jon Lester on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of the strained left latissimus muscle he suffered in Tuesday's start, but they didn't provide much of a timetable for his return.
"He will be treated with a period of rest from throwing, followed by progressive strengthening program," the team said in a statement following Lester's MRI exam, according to the Boston Globe. "There is no specific timeframe for his return at this time. His status will be better defined following the All-Star break."
Manager Terry Francona expressed optimism that Lester won't have to miss more than the minimum amount of time.
"He doesn't ever want to miss starts," Francona told The Boston Globe. "I think, though, pretty optimistic. He was reaching back (Tuesday) and firing it pretty good. He has had problems in the past when he cramped. Sometimes, when it happens you're sore the next day. We're really hoping that's what it is. Even if that's what it is, we need to take it easy on him and let him get better."
In 18 starts this season, Lester is 10-4 with a 3.31 ERA and 110 strikeouts in 114 1/3 innings.
Lester joins righthander Clay Buchholz (back) and righthander Daisuke Matsuzaka (elbow) as members of the Red Sox's opening-day rotation on the disabled list. Buchholz was examined by a back specialist Wednesday and was told he can treat his ailment with rehabilitation. Matsuzaka, however, will miss the rest of the regular season following Tommy John surgery.

After much Photoshop*, the necklace template was complete. I also learned some helpful tricks for working with shrink film to combat some of its most common problems (namely, elongated pieces folding in on themselves) that I'll relay to you in this tutorial.
As always, comment if you have any questions.
View Printable PDF Shrink Film Template (8.5″ x 11″)
View Printable PNG Shrink Film Template (5100 pixels x 6600 pixels)
What You'll Need
- Shrink film
I used an 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of clear Grafix Shrink Film, which worked much better than Shrinky Dinks for this project. The baked film becomes transparent instead of opaque and grainy.
- Black permanent marker or printer
- Clear sealant
I used Triangle Crafts Sophisticated Finishes Primer and Clear Sealant, but I would recommend using decoupage finish, clear nail polish, or Mod Podge.
- 5 jump rings, 6-10 mm in diameter
- Necklace supplies (chain, clasp and, if desired, more jump rings)
- Scissors
- Hole puncher
- Baking sheet or pan
- Needle-nose pliers and/or other jewelry tools
- Recommended: Parchment paper
- Draw (with a permanent marker) or print the template on your shrink paper.
- Cut out your dinosaur.
When working around the bonier parts such as the ribcage and tail, the trick is to avoid making long slender pieces, since they are more likely to fold in on themselves while shrinking up in the oven. Instead, make webbed divots between ribs (and other long slender segments). Case in point:
- Punch out the circular holes shown in the template. These holes will be used for the ring loops that link adjacent pieces together.
- Head: Two holes, one above the eye and one at the base of the neck
- Ribs: Two holes, one at the base of the neck and one at the midback
- Pelvis: Three holes, one at the midback and two at the base of the tail
- Tail: Two holes, both at the base of the tail
- Preheat your oven.
Set the oven to 25°F less than the package instructions indicate to slow the shrinking process. Then, keep the shrink film in the oven for slightly more time. For example, my shrink film directions recommend a temperature of 300°-350°F (149°-177°C) for 2-3 minutes, so I baked it at 275°F (135°C) for 5 minutes. To make sure your oven is heating at the correct temperature, it helps to have an internal oven thermometer.
- Once your oven is preheated, place the fossil pieces on a baking sheet.
Optionally, cover with a flattened sheet of parchment paper to prevent the pieces folding in on themselves:
- Bake your pieces. I baked each piece individually to ensure they would not fuse together. As stated in step 4, bake at a slightly lower temperature but for a longer time.
- Cool pieces, then coat with sealant. Let dry.
- Using ring loops and jewelry tools, link together the rib piece to the head piece, and then link the rib piece to the pelvis piece. For now, only secure the bottom/ventral loop between the pelvis and tail pieces:
- Thread a ring loop through the head hole (above the eye) and add half of your necklace chain to this same ring loop. Close the ring loop.
- Thread a ring loop through the top/dorsal holes of the tail and pelvis pieces. Add the other half of your necklace chain to the same ring loop on what will become the back side of your necklace. Close the ring loop.

By KATIE JUSTICE, email@example.com
"It's like 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.' It closed and reopened," is the way members of Mrs. Corley's first grade class from West Jackson Primary School described the reopening of the Mayfield Dairy's Visitors Center.
The visitor center hosted a ribbon cutting and celebratory festivities as part today's ceremony. The doors reopened to the public at 9 a.m. with a ceremonial ribbon being cut by Braselton Mayor Bill Orr shortly after 10 a.m.
"We're very excited to reopen our visitor center. We have been a really important part of the community and town of Braselton," said Scottie Mayfield, who went on to say that he hopes the visitors center will revive it's role in the community."
Following the ribbon cutting, several recognizable community members got to go scoop for scoop in an ice cream scooping contest. Participating teams included Braselton Mayor Bill Orr and Councilwoman Peggy Slappey, acting Hoschton Mayor Theresa Kenerly and West Jackson Primary School Principal Linda Bell, Jackson County Sheriff Stan Evans and Sheriff-elect Janis Mangum, and Braselton Councilman Richard Mayberry and Braselton Police Chief Terry Esco.
West Jackson Primary students yelled, "Go, Mrs. Bell" and they also shouted their support for "Nanner," Chief Esco's nickname. Bell and Esco went to school together and Esco is a frequent visitor to the school.
As the competition got stiffer, the competitors abandoned their ice cream scoops and began to scoop and mold the cones by hand. Kenerly and Bell were the overall winners.
A milk chugging contest was also held outside and West Jackson Primary students cheered on
Then, Scottie Mayfield led a tour through the dairy, providing insight to upcoming improvements. Soon, videos will be played on televisions throughout the tour.
"You get fairly close with the tour, but you get really close with the video," said Mayfield, of visitors being able to see the ins and outs of the milk production.
Nicole Karstedt of the Georgia Milk Commission was outside the center with the "Got Milk" trailer, to explain where milk comes from. She also demonstrated the milking process and showed that milking machines aren't painful.
Lastly, participants in the festivities got to enjoy free Mayfield Ice Cream, which for some was the best part.
See Katie Justice's photo galleries below and look for more on the reopening in the Nov. 15 print edition of The Paper and also on this website.

Within the last few years, the use of mobile technology in the workplace has risen dramatically. In the B2B space, professionals accessing business information and content on smartphones and tablets is impacting business operations, workflow, communications and marketing.
B2B mobile marketing spending will quadruple over the next five years, rising from $26 million in 2009 to $106 million in 2014, according to Forrester Research.
So how should your business plan for the impact of mobile on B2B marketing?
1. Provide mobile-friendly marketing content
Optimization of your web site, emails, blog and other marketing content for mobile devices should be a top priority for your development team. Don't simply re-purpose existing content. Design and create specifically for the mobile environment.
2. Consider mobile users when creating content
As the use of mobile increases, short form marketing content may generate more impact than long form content. Blog posts and short videos may provide more long-term B2B marketing value than not-so-mobile-friendly content like whitepapers and webinars.
3. Centralize content
You may need to re-consider the source of your business marketing content. Instead of publishing it in a specific channel, you may want to put it in a central location (web site, database, etc.) and then point your channels to that content or broadcast it from that content source. That way you can announce or display the content in your various marketing channels such as email campaigns, social networks, mobile apps, blogs, text messages, etc. Recipients will either access the content directly or pull it through the interface or channel of their choice.
4. Choose mobile-friendly technologies
When creating content, consider the channel or service you'll be using and determine if it'll work well in the mobile environment. Certain tools and services will work better for videos, animations, blogs, etc.
5. Mobile app vs. mobile site
With the abundance of apps proliferating the app stores, many marketers are considering if the time and expense of creating apps is worth the effort. Can a mobile site offer a better experience and broader reach? Is there additional branding and marketing value in having an app available in an app store? Consider the short term and long term value of both options to see which may be a better fit for your intended audience.
6. Review your analytics
Understand if mobile is impacting your marketing and make decisions based on analytics. Make sure you are set up to be able to determine the mobile audience for your web site, blogs, email campaigns and social channels wherever it is possible to do so. Use that information to make the decision on the importance of preparing a mobile strategy for that channel.
7. Test emerging marketing strategies
Because many businesses are still determining the potential of mobile marketing, testing and refining their mobile marketing process and choices are an ongoing process. But by doing so, marketers will identify the mobile opportunities that will create business value. Testing now can lead to significant long term mobile marketing success.
If you remember to keep your target in mind and consider the impact of mobile marketing on near and long term goals, you'll likely find a way to use mobile to create value for your customer and your business.

Isn't it odd how the Conservative Political Action Committee straw poll results track almost exactly with the candidates that Democrats are praying Republicans nominate?
Take a look at the list (compiled by the Washington Times):
- U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. — 31 percent
- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas — 11 percent
- Dr. Ben Carson — 9 percent
- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — 8 percent
- Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa. — 7 percent
- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — 7 percent
- U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio — 6 percent
- Texas Gov. Rick Perry — 3 percent
- Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. — 3 percent
- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee — 2 percent
- Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal — 2 percent
- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — 2 percent
- Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — 2 percent
- Former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels — 1 percent
- Ohio Gov. John Kasich — 1 percent
- Indiana Gov. Mike Pence — 1 percent
- U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio — 1 percent
- U.S. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. — 1 percent
- Donald Trump — 1 percent
- Former Rep. Allen West, R-Fla. — 1 percent
What stands out about this list the most is that you have to drop to No. 6 — with Walker — before you get to a candidate who might even have a remote chance on a national stage. And while CPAC attendees managed to push some of the biggest jokes toward the bottom of the list — think Palin, Trump and West — there are still some ballot clowns higher up (think Santorum, Huckabee and — what's that third one, again? Oh, right — Perry).
If Democrats could pick their foe, they might build a consensus around Paul, who doesn't even think many of his fellow Republicans are worthy of the party. ("There's a great battle going on. It's for the heart and soul of America," he said in his CPAC speech. "You may think I'm talking about electing Republicans. I'm not. I'm talking about electing lovers of liberty.")
After Walker, serious candidates such as Ryan, Daniels, Kasich, Pence and Portman don't seem to have captured the fancy of the CPAC crowd, which sadly will probably not be selecting the final nominee. But the straw poll results are a fascinating insight into the minds of modern conservatives. Who knew they'd agree with the Democrats so much?

IN 1959, Sullivan et al1 introduced the method of cancer chemotherapy by arterial infusion. They described cannulation of the external carotid artery, via the superior thyroid artery, for chemotherapy of head and neck tumors. Balla et al2 administered drug through a catheter passed retrograde down the superficial temporal artery.
The scope of arterial infusion has been enlarged to include most areas of the body; for example, Freckman et al3 modified the method described by Newton4 for treating primary carcinoma of the lung. Since then, selective catheterization of the bronchial arteries has been used by several investigators.5-7
Several approaches have been used for infusion chemotherapy of the liver of the ambulatory patient.8,9 Inoperable pelvic tumors can be treated with drug by inserting a catheter in the hypogastric artery.10
The purpose of this article is to describe a technique for infusing tumors of the chest

Mexican food lovers are raving about the fresh roasted corn, cheap prices and fast service at the new Tortillas Burrito Co., which opened in the former Fiesta Time at the end of January. Hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Owner Jim Boynes used to work at Ruth's Chris Steak House for many years as well as P.F. Chang's and a host of Southwestern establishments in Arizona, where he got hot on tacos.
"We do real simple food such as burritos, tacos and burrito bowls," he says. "Mexican aunties are making salsas, and we use organic chicken, grass-fed beef and brown Spanish rice."

Johnny B's Burgers opened at the north end of town in the former Island Cuisine Thai restaurant. Walk up to the counter and order half-pound hamburgers, fries cooked in cholesterol-free peanut oil and chocolate milkshakes. Dine at one of the shaded picnic tables, or take it away.
"Everything we make is packed to-go, but you can eat here at any one of our 16 seats, if you like," says owner Pam Leary. "I can't tell you how many people come and have their pictures taken at the Johnny B. sign as it's their name."
Tobi's Shave Ice and Paia Bay Cafe are located in the former Green Banana locations. Some of you may remember Tobi's Shave Ice from 20 years ago in the old Wok Star in Kihei. Now you may cool off with its island favorite treats in Paia.
Paia Inn's beautiful outdoor breakfast restaurant is still kind of a secret right now, as it's open for guests only from 7 to 11 a.m.
Chef Stephanie Sheveland says that many of her guests like organic fare, and that's what she's been making since the open-air Balinese-style dining facility opened five months ago.
"Our hotel is a hidden gem in the center of town," says Sheveland. "I did a private dinner for 10 cyclists in one of our oceanfront villas."
Hotel Manager Tina Cunningham sometimes does private parties in the wine bar; or hotel guests may bring their own.
"What will happen soon is that we'll open it up to the public as a tapas and wine bar," says Cunningham. "It's really fun here. Our guests are athletes, hippies, celebrities and people from Hana."

Anna Faris (who is great) stars in a new movie called 'What's Your Number?' (which is the opposite of great). In a world that we -- as humans -- like to pretend makes sense, often we are forced to face paradoxes such as this one. But we will. Together. You and me. Right now. So, with that, here's an answer to every question that you could possibly have about a terrible movie called 'What's Your Number?'
Q: How does 'What's Your Number?' start?
A: Did you see 'Bridesmaids'?
Q: Yes.
A: It starts like that.
Q: With Kristen Wiig sneaking out of bed to put on makeup first thing in the morning in order to impress Jon Hamm?
A: Replace the name "Kristen Wiig" with "Anna Faris" and the name "Jon Hamm" with "Zachary Quinto."
Q: Is 'What's Your Number?' the kind of movie in which the lead male character inexplicably has access to his city's professional sports team's arena?
A: Yes.
Q: Have you ever been more befuddled by the plot of a movie more than 'What's Your Number?'
A: Maybe by 'Mulholland Drive.' Maybe.
Q: So 'What's Your Number?' is equally as confusing as 'Mulholland Drive'?
A: For different reasons, yes. Honestly, I can't think of another movie where the central plot made less sense than in 'What's Your Number.' From the aspect of, "No human being who doesn't need to be institutionalized would ever do the things that Anna Farris does in this movie."
Q: What makes so little sense about 'What's Your Number?'
A: Anna Farris plays Ally, a woman who, after reading a magazine article that claims the average woman sleeps with 10 partners in her lifetime, stresses out about her number, which is 20. So her plan consists of tracking down her ex-lovers in order to make one of them her husband so that her number does not go up any higher.
Q: Wait, what?
A: Because the article mentions that women whose number goes over 20 are very unlikely to marry.
Q: This is the plot for an entire movie? In theaters?
A: Also, in the second scene of the movie, she gets fired. Which has nothing to do with the rest of the movie other than it maybe prevents an audience member from thinking, "Hey, when does this person work?"
Q: What's the furthest Ally travels in order to find one of her exes?
A: Ally lives in Boston. She flies to Miami just for the sake of getting a pap smear from one of her exes (played by Thomas Lennon). Also, I should point out, this is a person who is recently unemployed.
Q: When you have been unemployed, you never traveled cross-country?
A: When I've been unemployed, I'm hesitant to travel cross-town because in New York City that would cost $2.25.
Q: Chris Evans is in this movie. What does he do?
A: Chris Evans plays Colin, a guy who is obviously so not right for Ally. I mean, he's so not right! So, so not right! PLEASE, 'What's Your Number?,' TELL ME ONCE AGAIN HOW F-CKING NOT RIGHT COLIN IS FOR ALLY -- BECAUSE I DIDN'T QUITE CATCH THAT THE FIRST 35 TIMES!
Q: So Colin turns out to be right for Ally after all?
A: F-ck off.
Q: What is Colin's purpose in 'What's Your Number?,' other than to be not right for Ally?
A: Colin plays Ally's neighbor who, like Ally, has sex with a lot of other human beings. Colin also casually mentions that his father is a police officer, so he knows how to track people down. This will come in handy for Ally later in this movie!
Q: So, while tracking down Ally's exes, does Collin start to fall for Ally?
A: Seriously, f-ck off.
Q: On a scale of one to ten, how much does Chris Evans not want to be in this movie judging from his onscreen body language alone?
A: Nine.
Q: How many scenes are there in 'What's Your Number?' of Chris Evans looking sad as he silently stares at the Boston skyline?
A: Three.
Q: How did the director of 'What's Your Number' motivate Chris Evans into looking so sad?
A: Probably by saying, "Chris, think about the day that you signed on to be in 'What's Your Number?'
Q: What's the best thing about 'What's Your Number?'
A: As alluded to earlier: Anna Faris is great. Which is interesting because this may be the worst movie that I've ever seen that features a great performance by a lead actor who is in pretty much every scene.
Q: What is the most poignant line spoken in 'What's Your Number?'
A: When Ally, doing yet another action that no human would ever do, states, "This is bullsh-t," then admits that what's she's doing is stupid. As if the writers of the film had a catharsis by saying, "You know, if we have Ally admit that what she's doing makes no f-cking sense, perhaps the audience will go along with it."
Q: What's the most awkward scene that you've ever watched in a movie in which a character sings?
A: That would be Chris Evans singing 'Just What I Needed' by The Cars in 'What's Your Number?'
Q: Like 'Bridesmaids,' does 'What's Your Number' prove that females can headline an R-rated raunchy comedy?
A: If anything, 'What's Your Number?' proves that nobody should be headlining an R-rated raunchy comedy.
Q: What thing were you least expecting to see, but you did see, during 'What's Your Number?'
A: Joel McHale's taint.
Q: Joel McHale is in 'What's Your Number?'
A: McHale plays Ally's aforementioned former boss. A boss whose recurring gag is to reach into his pants to see if his hand, during the course of 'What's Your Number?,' smells like scrotum.
Q: If you're going to be blurbed in the commercials this weekend for 'What's Your Number?' what quote do you hope to God is used?
A: "'What's Your Number?' smells like scrotum!" Mike Ryan, Moviefone
