RIP :( Anyone else sad from this loss? Glee will not be the same
No more Finn and Rachel.
Its no big deal, this place thrives, I just wanted to let you know incase you didn't get alot of action,, you can find others.
Search "Glee" in the search the group.
Quoting Anonymous:
I looked because I hate multiple threads and didn't see any :/
Quoting Foolynroo2:
I just saw too, there are a lot of threads on here.
Im not sad for glee or their pretend characters.
He was seeing Lea Michelle in real life too.
He was 31 years old and had his entire life in front of him.
It's so very sad.
It is always sad when someone so young with so much life ahead of them dies. I feel sorry for his friends, family, and Lea.
Not going to lie this is the first time I've been upset about a celebrity death. We love glee and it will not be the same :( .... Such a waste of young life

Sure, persimmon pudding is the traditional way to enjoy this wild fall delicacy. But why not turn your persimmons into jam and enjoy them through the spring!
Indiana has many signature sweets – sugar cream pie, apple butter, strawberry rhubarb pie, but there is maybe none more ubiquitous than persimmon pudding.
Food is not a talking point this election season. Christine Barbour speculates why. We visit Creekbend Vineyard, and Chef Daniel Orr makes persimmon pudding.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA
Some day, your life may depend on the work of a security researcher. Whether it's a simple malfunction in a piece of computerized medical equipment or a malicious compromise of your networked car, it's critically important that people working in security can find and fix the problem before the worst happens.
And yet, an expansive United States law, passed in 1998 and emulated in legal codes all over the world, casts a dark legal cloud over the work of those researchers. It gives companies a blunt instrument with which to threaten that research, keeping potentially embarrassing or costly errors from seeing the light of day.
Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act forbids a wide range of speech, from remix videos that rely upon circumvention, to academic security research, to publication of software that can help repair your car or back up your favorite show. It potentially implicates the entire range of speech that relies on access to copyrighted works or describes flaws in access controls—even where that speech is clearly noninfringing.
The World Wide Web Consortium has published a "Candidate Recommendation" for Encrypted Media Extensions, a pathway to DRM for streaming video.
A large community of security researchers and public interest groups have been alarmed by the security implications of baking DRM into the HTML5 standard. That's because DRM -- unlike all the other technology that the W3C has ever standardized — enjoys unique legal protection under a tangle of international laws, like the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Canada's Bill C-11, and EU laws that implement Article 6 of the EUCD.
The Second Circuit has released its long-awaited opinion in Capitol Records v. Vimeo, fully vindicating Vimeo's positions. EFF along with a coalition of advocacy groups, submitted a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, supporting Vimeo.
The Second Circuit considered three important issues. First, whether a service provider could rely on the DMCA safe harbor when it came to pre-1972 sound recordings. Second, whether evidence of Vimeo employees watching certain well-known songs was enough to create "red flag" knowledge that the videos were infringing. And third, whether Vimeo was "willfully blind" to infringement occurring on its service.
For each of these issues, the Second Circuit ruled for Vimeo.
What is EFF worried about?
The W3C effort to standardize Encrypted Media Extensions (EME, part of the Media Extensions Working Group) marks a new era in W3C standardization. For the first time, implementations of a W3C standard will be covered by "anti-circumvention" laws such as the Section 1201 of the US DMCA; European laws that implement Article 6 of the EUCD; and Canada's Bill C-11.
These laws have been used by companies and rightsholders to threaten security and privacy researchers who came forward to report defects in their products. These laws may also create legal risks for entities who independently implement EME-compatible systems.

The next artist called is Garrett Gardner, a returning hopeful who didn't make the cut in season 3, and is back to show that he's learned from the criticism he received, which is entirely possible (see: Dez Duron, Daniel Rosa, etc). Garrett's version of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" isn't as awesome as Jamar Rogers' was, but just when it looks like Garrett is going home empty-handed again, Shakira steps in to take him for her team. Adam recognizes Garrett and is thrilled to see him back, telling him that his late father is looking down with pride. Adam Levine, The Voice morale officer.
Adam: You're so much stronger than you were.
Garrett thanks Blake for his comments from the previous season and is glad to finally make a team. Then we get into the much-hated montage of successful auditions, where we meet J. Sun, who also joins Team Shakira, Duncan Kamakana of Team Adam, and Chelsea M, who punches her ticket to Team Usher. That's three artists with a combined 39 seconds of screen time, and as of yet, their full blind auditions are also not available on The Voice's YouTube channel with the other successful performances. This montage happens every season, and it remains the most frustrating thing about the blind audition phase of competition.
Stepping to the microphone after the montage is Holly Tucker, who hopes to break out from the Baylor marching band with her version of "To Make You Feel My Love." Holly might love country music, but she earns button pushes from Adam, Shakira and Usher almost immediately. Adam so wonders what Blake's deal is that he stands on his chair to point at him, and this convinces Blake to jump in, too.
Adam: Those cowboy boots scare me, though. They only mean one thing - gotta fight Blake.
As if to prove Adam's point, Blake breaks out his finger-pointing before Usher can even really start talking. While the guys play "look how similar we are," Shakira suggests that she would be the adventurous choice. Adam then points out that he had to "prod" Blake to turn his chair around. That doesn't seem to matter, though, because Holly picks Blake as her coach anyway. Afterward, Adam admits to Usher that country artists are "almost never" stolen from Blake. He's just that good?
After another montage of failed auditions, meet Landon Medvec, who like many before him is hoping that he can get the break that will allow him to leave a "day job" and become a musician. His rendition of James Morrison's "You Give Me Something" has Blake questioning his gender, and he's not the only one. After the audition ends without any chairs turning, Usher admits that he also thought Landon was a girl.
Adam: I get it all the time, so don't worry about it.
Michelle Chamuel proves that appearances can be deceiving with her fierce version of Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl." Adam wants her on his team almost immediately, and Shakira joins him less than a minute later, so they've got a front-row seat to Michelle singing like it's the last song she's ever going to perform. Usher crashes the party at the last second, making it a three-way contest to land Michelle, who calls all of them "amazing humans." Blake is disappointed not to be included in that, which makes this happen:
Usher: He's not a human. He's an alien.
Blake: He's a sasquatch.
Adam: That's what it is!
Usher: I was thinking more snuffleupagus.
Discussion about Shelton's species (and a commercial for the Honda Civic Tour, and Carson Daly randomly plugging NBC's new show Hannibal) aside, Michelle declares that "for some reason," she's going with Usher. That comes as a surprise to everyone other than her, but as long as she's happy, that's what matters.
Following Michelle is Julie Roberts, and if you think she looks familiar, you're not wrong. Julie has a gold record under her belt and, as we see in her reel, once appeared on Jay Leno. However, after the failure of her second album, she lost her deal - and if that wasn't bad enough, her family lost their house and she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Yeowch. Julie makes the ballsy decision to sing Blake's hit song "God Gave Me You," but it has much less energy to it than the original, and she fails to draw any interest. Blake recognizes her immediately, however, and profusely apologizes.
Blake: I'm still sick to my stomach over this.
While Julie decides to get a glass of wine, brightly-colored former child star Monique Abbadie arrives with Shakira's "Loca," and showing off the picture she took with Shakira at one of her concerts years earlier. Once Monique starts singing, Shakira immediately pulls her shocked face, while Blake slams his button despite his previously established language barrier. Shakira and Usher jump in simultaneously, while Adam appears to push his button just because everyone else has, throwing up his hands after he does it. Everyone starts making arguments, except for Blake, who sees the writing on the wall.
Blake: I'm not going to waste everybody's time. She's picking Shakira. Now shut up.
Everyone promptly literally votes for Monique to pick Shakira, though Adam offers her a bribe if she'll be so crazy as to select Blake. Surprising absolutely no one on the entire planet, Monique joins up with her idol.
The final performance of the night belongs to firefighter, father and country singer Warren Stone, who sings "Colder Weather." He gets Adam to turn around before he's through two sentences. The camera hovers on Blake, but it's Shakira who's next to spin. Finally, as Warren nears the end of his 90 seconds, Blake decides to enter the fray. Adam and Shakira are determined to finally wrest a country artist away from Blake by any means necessary, and Adam finally succeeds, convincing Warren to join Team Adam. Celebration ensues.
Adam: I was also really happy to watch Blake suffer.
As Carson launches into his night-ending recap, the numbers stand at Team Adam 6/12, Team Blake 5/12, Team Shakira 7/12 and Team Usher 6/12. Plus, Adam starts the Adam Levine Expletive Counter with his first two swear words of the season. Will that number rise with the next set of blind auditions? Tune in tomorrow to find out.

From staff reports
MILLERSTOWN - Juniata stormed back with six runs in the sixth inning to defeat Greenwood 10-9 in a Tri-Valley League softball game Monday.
Victoria Cisney led the way for Juniata with four hits including a triple and three RBIs.
Six Indians and four Wildcats had multiple hits in an offensive display.
On top of her 5 2/3 innings in the circle, Brooke Louden had two hits and two RBIs for Greenwood, but did suffer the loss in what was a hard-luck sixth inning for her.
"We dug ourselves a hole with an error in the sixth," Greenwood coach Troy Gantt said. "Our girls didn't quit, we got two (in the seventh) and had the tying run on second, we just couldn't push across the third run across."
Juniata also took the junior varsity game, 10-5.
Greenwood will travel to Upper Dauphin on Wednesday while Juniata will host East Juniata the same day.
Juniata 7, Greenwood 3
MIFFLINTOWN - Juniata freshman Korey Martin threw a complete game and struck out nine Greenwood batters to lift Juniata to a 7-3 Tri-Valley League win over Greenwood Monday afternoon.
Juniata coach Nick Beward called Martin's effort "definitely the highlight of the night"
Ty Treaster and Dahkota Switzer each knocked in two runs as the Indians only could muster three hits, but benefited from four Greenwood errors.
"Offensively, it was a struggle for us," Beward said. "We really had trouble seeing the sidearmer and staying back."
Greenwood starter Mitch Taylor struck out 10 Indians and also matched Martin by throwing a complete game.
"Errors killed us," Greenwood coach Mark Sherman said. "We gave up one earned run the whole game. The pitchers threw well. Mitch Taylor pitched a great game."
Juniata will be back in action Wednesday when it travels to rival East Juniata; the Wildcats will host Upper Dauphin the same day.
Mifflin County 5,
Northern 0
LEWISTOWN - Mifflin County rebounded from a bad run of tennis matches Monday, stringing together five straight-set wins in a 5-0 shutout of Northern.
"We lost three in a row so we needed a match where we played pretty well," Mifflin County coach Glenn Kyle said. "We did today."
The Huskies improve to 5-3 both overall and in Mid-Penn play.
Juniata 5, Huntingdon 2
MIFFLINTOWN - Juniata swept Huntingdon in singles competition to beat the Bearcats 5-2 Monday in boys tennis action.
Luis Pacheco was the most dominant of the Juniata players, dropping Matt Scialabba 6-0, 6-2 in straight sets.
Huntingdon's sweep of doubles play was meaningless as the Indians had already wrapped up the victory.
Juniata will be back in action Monday when it hosts Carson Long.

Hi, I'm Macy Fisher the Mifflin County Dairy Princess.
This week I didn't have any promotions, but I did have a lot of work, however. All week Amanda, Megan, and I were preparing for the West Central District Dairy Show.
The show was on Saturday at the Grange Fairgrounds. We had to be checked in at the fairgrounds by 7 o'clock Friday evening and we showed at 9 on Saturday. Before that show starts there is a lot of work that needs to be done. You first start the morning off by getting up before 5 o'clock to bathe cows. You have to bathe them so early so that they will dry before the show.
We took six cattle to the show. We all placed very well. Megan and I both received a second place ribbon. Amanda was first with her Red and White, Ami and received Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion with her Ayrshires. If you receive a blue ribbon at the district show, you qualify to show at the state show in September. Amanda qualified with all three of her cows. When we left the fairgrounds on Saturday, we were all proud of how we did that day. Showing cattle can be a very stressful and tiring but it's still fun. It takes long nights, early mornings, and a lot of work to show cows. It takes a lot of energy drinks and coffee to keep exhibitors going. I don't like coffee, however, so I stick to chocolate milk to keep energized. Chocolate milk is a natural energizing drink that doesn't contain a lot of sugar or any caffeine.
Even though I don't like coffee, I do love coffee cake. I love the cinnamon taste of the cake and the sweet icing on top.
I hope you all can enjoy these coffee cake recipes that also have some unique dairy ingredients in them.
Rippled Coffee Cake
1 package yellow cake mix
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
4 eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioner's sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, sour cream, eggs, and oil; beat well. Spread half of the batter into a greased 13-inch-by-9-inch-by-2-inch baking pan. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter. Carefully spread remaining batter on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Combine icing ingredients and drizzle over warm cake. Yield: 16-20 servings.
Apple Custard
Coffee Cake
2 cups biscuit/ baking mix
1 cup sugar, divided
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
2 medium tart apples, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

1 cup heavy whipping cream
In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, 1/4 cup sugar, milk, and vanilla; mix well. Stir in pecans. Pour into a greased 9-inch square baking dish.
Toss apples with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Sprinkle over batter.
In a bowl, combine eggs, cream and remaining cinnamon.
Bake, uncovered, and at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 9 servings.

On arrival ( ordered taxi from San marco airport to dock for 44euro) very easy check in and cabin ready much earlier than anticipated.HOWEVER...... We booked a large family outside stateroom for us two and our kids aged 7&10. The cabin was the same size as my parents cabin for two people, and the major shock was the pulldown bunks ABOvE the double bed! My husband couldn't sit up in the bed with the bunk down and you had to slide in and out the foot of the bed like a worm! We complained bitterly and were told our expectations were too high, it was our travel agents fault ( btw Thomas Cook were absolutely useless in the whole booking but that's another story) , there was no other available cabins and no one else complained.
The only thing we could do, which we took upon ourselves to do was to re jig the room, turned the double bed around and put one bunk mattress on the floor. We had even less space in the already bijoux cabin.
The cabin attendant was nigh on useless, only 3 "towel animals" out of 11 nights, two of those after bitterly complaining. Our toilet broke 10 out of 11 nights and outside our cabin was a constant sewage smell.
Pursers desk were absolutely useless. Didn't know answers to what you asked, and often guessed incorrectly giving false information.
The entertainment was disappointing, no real "big shows" and what there was seemed to dry up by 10 pm with only piano music or an empty game show/quiz afterwards.
Some very big plus points though.....
The food was AMAZING ! Ate on my time dining every night, table 169 where Dorin and Fernando were the two nicest people you could wish to meet. They bent over backwards. And a big round of applause to Hans the head waiter who balanced the dining room with precision, and Constantine the maitre d who knew everyone by name.
The shopping area was also great, although often overpriced but run by the lovely Karen who put big smiles on our faces .
Kids club very good, although surprised to see different age groups had same activities. My son adored it in there and we couldn't pride him away!
The only thing that was silly was the timings, you had to get kids at 10 pm bu show finished at 10, or just after, so you had to leave a grew minutes early to get upstairs in time.
Some other timings of restaurant hours was a bit odd too. Breakfast in king and I finished at 8.30 am, I was just waking up - I was on holiday after all ! And you couldn't get buffet dinner until 7pm, but kids club started again at 7 so couldn't feed kids before hand unless you chose burger or pizza from solarium - didn't pay good money for 11 nights of junk food.
Entertainment staff were very good with guests and Abel was brilliant.
On the whole it was nice, but as advised by the chief purser our expectation was too high......hmmm thought that's why we booked royal carribbean!
Wish we had known about cabin layout in advance we would have booked a balcony room or suite, an missed the odd touches here and there, I.e chocolates on pillows and fancy towels.
I agree with other reviews about prices of drinks on board and transfers, very very expensive and often quite cheeky. Do trips yourself, just as easy and a tenth of the price.
I'd go with Royal Caribbean again, but in a higher grade room and with my eyes wide open.
We also went to mykanos and Split but no boxes for these. Don't take RC bus in Mykanos, public bus, which looks like a coach, stops almost next door and is 1.60euro, not $10 pp


text: I'm in love with these tiled QR codes , formed from the cobblestone tiles Rio is famous for. They are being used at 30 tourist locations in Rio. It strikes me as a perfect application of augmented reality – offering visitors up maps, and info, without significantly disturbing the art and culture of the site. It's just cool. I wonder what other cities these will turn up in next? Paris? Jerusalem? Are you scanning?

One night after South Carolina's victory over Greenville, Stingrays coach Spencer Carbery expected the Road Warriors to come out with a better effort Saturday night.
Carbery warned the Stingrays during his pre-game speech that they would have to match the Road Warriors' energy level to be able to compete.
That never happened.
Michael St. Croix scored a goal and added an assist, and Jeff Malcolm stopped 25 shots to lead Greenville past South Carolina, 4-1, before a crowd of 4,688 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
The Stingrays, who had their four-game winning streak snapped with the loss, fell to 30-11-3 (63 points), but remained in first place in the ECHL Eastern Conference. The Road Warriors improved to 22-19-5 (49 points).
After an embarrassing five-goal loss to the Stingrays on Friday night, the Road Warriors came out with a much more inspired effort against their in-state rival. The Stingrays were never able to match the Road Warriors' energy level or execution.
"We knew that Greenville would be an angry hockey team, and they'd have some jump," Carbery said. "They came out with more energy than we did, or more energy than they did last night, and we didn't match it. They just completely out-executed us. We couldn't make a pass in any of the zones. We turned the puck over all night."
One of the issues for the Stingrays was the absence of newly acquired forward Dale Mitchell. Mitchell recorded a six-point night, including a hat trick, in his Stingrays debut Friday night in the Stingrays victory. Mitchell suffered a hand injury during Friday night's win and was unable to play Saturday. His status for Sunday's game against Greenville is uncertain.
"Not having Dale in the lineup wasn't the reason we lost this hockey game," Carbery said. "We just didn't execute."
It also didn't help that Chad Painchaud, who is second on the Stingrays in scoring, left the game after the first period and did not return. He is expected to miss Sunday's game in Greenville.

REVIEW: Young artists show talent in Mercyhurst's annual student art show
While Jeff Kuntz and Erica Whiting are introducing themselves to a wider audience at the Urraro Gallery, an even fresher crop of young artists is in the spotlight at Mercyhurst University's Cummings Gallery.
The annual Juried Student Art Show, on display through March 17, highlights works by 35 young artists created during their most recent two years of study at Mercyhurst. They were juried into the final exhibit by local artist Ann Magenau, an Erie native who studied under Joseph Plavcan.
That partiality is evident in the collection she's amassed, as these artists at the cusp of their careers are searching, experimenting and discovering. Eleven of those artists were recognized with special awards for their efforts.
Mercyhurst University Purchase Awards were presented to April Alfieri's ceramic "Teapot;" Caitlyn Ewing's beguiling -- and beguilingly framed -- digital photo "Insomniac's Depression;" "Yellow," an avian oil painting by Kathryn LeVan; and John Thiede's misty, moody "Findley Lake, N.Y.," an iPhone photo printed on sheet metal.
Seven more artists received Honorable Mentions: the photo of an exasperated "Laura" by Andrea Amroski; Katelyn Cecchetti's stylized botanical oil "I'm Still Here;" "Bast Teapot," a contemporary relic statuary ceramic by Jennifer Detchon; Garrett Erwin's clever "Rocky Chair," the image of a seat formed from actual rocks; Rachel Playso's quirky take on a traditional collection in "Salt & Pepper Shakers;" "Reflection," a self-portrait in charcoal by Samantha Strathearn; and the digital collage "What Lies Underneath," Giovanna Thompson's take on the fracking controversy.

Top 10 Customer Favorite Promotional Products of February 2013
Back for more, eh? It's nice to see you again. It's the first week of a new month, and you know what that means… We've got a fresh list of best-selling promo items for your viewing pleasure!
Last month's rankings showed some discourse among our top products, but will the same thing happen this time? We'll have to see.
Here you go, friends:
Remember when the Heart Stress Ball topped the list last time? Yeah, it totally fell of the radar in February (we told you that Valentine's Day promos were the cause)! The ever-popular Eco-Friendly Non Woven Small Tote (#1) was quick to take its place in the coveted number one spot, though. Our Rubberized Sunglasses (#2), Custom Frisbees (#3), Custom Pencils (#4), and Atlas Nonwoven Grocery Totes (#8) also climbed the ranks from their previous spaces. We were psyched to see three newcomers as well: The Earth Stress Reliever (#6), Hedgehog Pen (#9), and Baseball Stress Reliever (#10). I'm so proud of them. It's like they're all grown up now… Sniffle…
You may notice that the Cougar Pen (#5) and the Alpine Aluminum Water Bottle (#7) fell a few spots. That doesn't mean we love them any less, but it does mean there are ample opportunities for other products to take over the next time you see the list. Keep an eye out!
And speaking of keeping an eye out — let's move on to the trends and see if there's any good news.
Top 10 Promotional Item Trends of February 2013
The trendy products section will always be my favorite because I get to announce cool new items that people may not know about yet. Case in point — the Cute Cup Set. Just look at that adorable little spoon and matching colored lid! You'll practically ooh and ahh on impact. I'm also a huge fan of the Logo Chocolate pieces, and I bet you can guess why. Come on, it's chocolate with your logo on it. Recipients would have to be crazy (or dieting) to refuse a piece of delicious candy like that. And last but not least, I'd like to introduce you to the USB Car Charger. This simple little accessory turns any USB cable into a charging machine for your smartphone or other compatible device! It's a giveaway that turns heads, especially with the shocking color varieties.
Man, that felt good. Promotional products really get my heart pumping! Thanks for reading. I'll see you lovely folks next time…
What do you think of February's top picks? Our customers have already spoken, but do you agree with the choices they've made? What would you add or delete? Are you even reading this? Let us know in the comments section.
Bubba is the Quality Logo Products mascot. He may have started out as "just a stress ball," but he's come a long way since the company's launch in 2003. Bubba has been immortalized in numerous vector artwork designs for internal and external promotions, and you can see him change outfits on the Quality Logo Products homepage whenever a holiday rolls around. Oh, and he thinks pants are for the birds. You can connect with Bubba on Google+

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Manti Te'o is focused on getting faster.
The former Notre Dame star and Heisman Trophy runner-up, who was clocked at 4.82 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine last week, said he expects to improve his time at his pro day on March 26.
"I'm glad I have another opportunity to run it," he said Friday. "I'm training hard and looking forward to it."
Article Photos
Manti Te'o
The linebacker was in New Jersey to accept the Maxwell Football Club's Maxwell Award for collegiate player of the year and Chuck Bednarik Award for collegiate defensive player of the year.
Te'o spoke to reporters for nearly six minutes, but wouldn't address in much detail his highly publicized online romance with a girlfriend that was exposed as a hoax, with the woman's persona created by someone else.
The Punahou School graduate stopped short of calling the embarrassment a "distraction," but admitted it weighed heavily on his mind.
"It's difficult to balance things and to stay focused on what you have to do but for me, I'm glad that the combine is done," Te'o said. "I'm finished (with) that and now I'm focused on specific things like my 40 and I don't have to worry so much about other things and definitely it's difficult. I'm not going to say it's easy but it's something you can work through."
Asked what he expects to run in the 40, Te'o said: "Obviously faster than a 4.8. We'll see what happens."
He said he was timed under 4.7 before the combine.
After the news conference at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, Te'o walked through the casino with the hood on his sweatshirt pulled up. He was flanked by security guards.
Te'o said he tries to "avoid a lot of the (extracurricular) stuff" now.
"Knowing what you can control and what you can't control," he said. "What I can control is making myself the best player I can be and the best person. I tend to focus on that."
Te'o participated in five of the seven drills at the combine, and did not finish ranked among the top five at his position in any of them.
"As a football player, that's one of the big steppingstones growing up," he said. "You see people going to the combine and when you finally get there, it's like 'Oh my gosh. I'm at the combine.' It's a lot of pressure and a lot (of) anxiety and excitement and definitely a great opportunity for me to be there, but I'm glad I finished that and now I have the pro day."
As for the 40 hurting his draft position, Te'o isn't sure.
"The 40 time measures what the 40 time is supposed to measure," he said. "That's something I'm going to get better at it. The only way from here is up and I'm going to definitely get better. As far as my play, flip on the film."
Te'o better hope teams don't judge him based on his last performance. He played poorly in Notre Dame's blowout loss to Alabama in the national championship game.
"You prepare, you work hard, you hope for the best," he said. "I don't (know) where specifically I'm going to go. I just hope that one of those 32 places become my home."
Te'o said teams didn't ask him inappropriate questions.
"Everything they asked me, I answered honestly and I didn't feel uncomfortable," he said. "It was a good experience, more positive happened than negative."

In addition to the Ford's generosity, two more anonymous donors purchases an additional 200 student tickets, raising the number of free tickets to 600.
There will be a table stationed on the north end of GIA for current OSU students with valid student IDs to pick up free tickets until they run out. Each student will be allotted one free ticket. Additional tickets can be purchased for $5 to see the Cowgirls try to claim the WNIT title.
Ford on both sides of Final Four rivalry
Ford doesn't believe average basketball fans on a national scale fully appreciate the magnitude of the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry on the Final Four scale.
Ford, who played for Kentucky, knows first hand how intense the rivalry is in a regular season format so the chaos surrounding Saturday's meeting to settle which Bluegrass team advances to the national title game doesn't surprise him.
"I could talk about it all day," Ford said. "It's been fun the past couple days, all the phone calls; It is exciting. People don't grasp not only what a rivalry it is, but also the love of basketball. I can't imagine what it's like in Kentucky now in Louisville and Lexington with the excitement and the buzz.
"I'm sure you all have seen a 68 year old and a 71 year old got in a fight today, a literal fight. It's all over the Internet. They had a fight over the game. That won't be the last one before Saturday. I don't think people grasp the love of basketball; the obsession. It is a true rivalry."
And it's a rivalry Ford happens to be on both sides of because his coach at Kentucky, Rick Pitino, is the coach at Louisville.
"Last year I called and got my tickets through Kentucky but this year I'm just sticking with my NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches) tickets and sitting where I'm supposed to sit," Ford said. "It's Kentucky; coach Pitino understands. Kentucky is my school but coach Pitino is my coach."
Ford unsure if final scholarship will be used
Oklahoma State has one available scholarship available for the 2012 recruiting class but Ford isn't 100 percent certain it will be used.
"We're kinda waiting back to see the J.P. (Olukemi) situation and Philip's (Jurick) situation," he said. "We do have one scholarship still sitting there."
Jurick's situation is obviously a full recovery from a torn Achilles tendon, which is a recovery he is expected to make. Olukemi, who is also recovery from a season-ending injury with a torn ACL, is also facing eligibility concerns.
Olukemi could either have one semester of eligibility or a full season depending on how confusion from his final year at prep school is settled. Olukemi started taking junior college courses while in prep school, unknowingly starting his eligibility clock. Ford seems confident that this matter will be resolved because of NCAA provisions that directly relate to the specific issue.
But, should things not go as planned, recruiting is still an option Ford and his staff are actively pursuing at this point.
"There could be some need to add depth in some places and there might be some transfers out there we'd take, but I'm not sitting out there right now saying, 'Oh, we've gotta go find this.' If everybody is healthy and everybody is here, I like our team right now.
"We could use that scholarship and maybe not."

Ugandan president signs antigay bill
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Monday signed an antigay bill that punishes gay sex with up to life in prison, a measure likely to send Uganda's beleaguered gay community further underground. Museveni defied pressure from the United States and other Western nations, saying the bill was needed because the West is promoting homosexuality in Africa. Nigeria's president similarly signed an antigay bill into law just over a month ago.
Pope orders fiscal changes at Vatican
Pope Francis announced a major restructuring of the Vatican's outdated administrative and economic bureaucracy on Monday. He established a new agency to oversee budgets and financial planning, and also created a powerful auditor-general to guard against fiscal mismanagement. The changes are the latest example of how Francis is moving to confront management problems inside the Vatican. He has begun shuffling personnel while also speaking out against careerism in the Roman Catholic Church, especially inside the Vatican.

Often brightly hand colored, these novel interactive prints could be marketed to both literate and illiterate viewers familiar with learning through a combination of metaphor and image.

Debugging Problem
(ASP.Net 2.0)
Hi! I have a problem, that my IE is not working properly, so i use firefox.
Can anyone tell me how can i change the debugging browser of my Visual Studio, from IE to Firefox?
Please mention the steps properly...
Re: Debugging Problem
Make IE as your default browser and try out.
Internet Explorer 2.x
Start Internet Explorer. On the View menu, click Options.
Click the Advanced tab and click to select the On startup, perform check for default browser check box.
Click OK.
Quit and re-start Internet Explorer. Then when you are prompted to make it the default browser, click Yes.

Re: Debugging Problem
Thanx, for replying, but i don't want to use IE as my default browser, i use Firefox. And the advantage of firefox is that it shows the "Error console" option in the tools menu, which helps me to check those error which occur when i compile an HTML code.
So, Please tell me how can i set firefox as the default debugging browser for Visual Studio.

Do any millitarys in the world still issue a 45acp sidearm?

Was the .45 ACP ever very popular outside of the US? In the cold war era the Warsaw Pact countries used 7.62x25 tokarev then 9mm Makarov, and NATO countires for th most part used the 9mm Luger. This is largely why the U.S. Army currently uses the 9mm Luger.
June 15, 2012, 10:04 PM
Not that I know of.
There are some very specific types of units that have some discretion compared to the general service members, but I don't know of any nation in the world that isn't using 9x19mm or the Russian oddball basically identical cartridge.
June 15, 2012, 10:07 PM
Just off the top of my head Argentina & Norway, Greece.
June 16, 2012, 04:03 AM
1950s-1980s, the ROK Military issued the .45ACP M-1911A1.
They were replaced in 1989 by the 9x19mm Daewoo K-5.
June 16, 2012, 04:38 AM
The only two I'm aware of is Mexico and Lithuania. Lithuanians have rouge gallery of military sidearms.
June 16, 2012, 04:41 AM
Just off the top of my head Argentina & Norway, Greece.
I read Norwegians use P80 which is Glock 17 and Argentinians the FM 9x19. I do believe "Jarhead" Force Recon use some kind of 1911 .45ACP pistol but I could be wrong about all this.
June 16, 2012, 06:02 AM
Pretty much every use of .45 ACP by another country's military that I know of was in a 1911 of some sort. In the past there were several other countries that adopted the 1911, two even went so far as to buy licensing and tooling from Colt to build their own. Today there are a handful of countries that still issue 1911's as sidearms. I believe Greece still uses some older USGI pistols that were loaned to them long ago and the Philippines seems to be pretty big on them. Brazil also has IMBEL making 1911 copies for their military, though I believe they are chambered in 9mm.
June 16, 2012, 07:34 AM
In the mid-1980s, Brazil replaced the .45ACP M-1911 with the 9x19mm Taurus PT-92.
IMBEL continues to make 1911 frames/pistols for export/commerical uses. Springfield Armory is currently their made customer.

Swift's disc sells 2.4 million in total
Taylor Swift's "Fearless" claimed the No. 1 slot on the nation's album sales chart for the eighth week as critical favorites and early releases targeted as Valentine's Day gifts made top 100 debuts.
"Fearless" sold 63,000 copies in the week ended Sunday, according to Nielsen Soundscan, taking its cume to 2.4 million. The frame is likely to be Swift's last atop the charts as Bruce Springsteen's "Working on a Dream," released Tuesday, is expected to take over next week, selling at least 200,000 copies. Sales sparked by his performance during halftime of the Super Bowl will count in the second week's tally.
Early Valentine's Day shoppers scooped up 29,000 copies of Columbia's Mariah Carey "Ballads" to slide in at No. 10 and 17,000 copies of Warner Music's Frank Sinatra collection "Seduction" at No. 23.
Posting best-ever numbers were several quirky acts that have built their careers on positive notices. Andrew Bird's "Noble Beast" (Fat Possum) sold 26,000 copies to debut at No. 12. It is the eighth album from Bird, a violinist and singer, and his first to chart above No. 76.
Animal Collective's "Merriweather Post Pavilion" (Domino), the sixth album from the New York-based collective, sold 25,000 to come in at No. 13. None of the band's previous albums placed higher than No. 72, which "Strawberry Jam" hit in 2007.
An EP from Bon Iver (the performance name of Justin Verdon), whose "For Emma, Forever Ago" was in countless year-end top 10 lists, sold 23,000 copies. Antony and the Johnsons' "Crying Light" sold 8,000 to open at No. 65; A.C. Newman's "Get Guilty" (Matador), the first solo album in five years from the leader of the New Pornographers, sold 5,000 to come in at No. 99.
Also, Fiction Family, featuring Sean Watkins, formerly of Nickel Creek, and Jon Foreman of Switchfoot sold 7,000 copies of their self-titled ATO debut to start at No. 71.
Another act that has gained considerable steam from 2008 overviews is the Fleet Foxes. Last week their self-titled album on Sub Pop sold 14,000 copies and moved up 10 slots to No. 46. A month ago, during the holiday shopping season, the album was at No. 181 on sales of 5,000. It has now sold 211,000 copies.

We know it will probably not end well for Cristian and July. That much we know from the trailer -- family found dead, 37 hours of recorded evidence recovered -- and even if you haven't seen the trailer, the opening moments of 'Atrocious' make it abundantly clear: There will be screaming. And running. And dead bodies.
'Atrocious,' enjoying its North American premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival tonight, rewinds to tell its story. Cristian is an 18-year-old boy with a video camera permanently glued to his eye. July is his 15-year-old sister. Together they investigate urban legends and then post their videos to YouTube. Their parents are 'forcing' them to spend their Easter holiday at a country estate owned by the family near the seaside town of Sitges, Spain, in the county of Garraf.
Anticipating boredom, Cristian has discovered a local legend and plans to check it out. The story goes that a girl named Melinda got lost somewhere in the Garraf woods in 1940. Ever since then, the ghost of Melinda appears to travelers who have become lost. The family's big, old beautiful country home has been abandoned for 10 years. And what do you know, there are woods adjacent to the house! Cristian and July go exploring, discovering a labyrinth cut into the woods, in which they get lost for a while. Upon their return, their father remarks that their mother knew the labyrinth well when she was child, and then sternly warns them to stay out, with no reason given.
A visit from Carlos, an old friend of their father, adds to the mystery. Carlos softly but ominously tells the kids that the legend about Melinda, "the girl in the Garraf woods," is well-known in the area, passed down from generation to generation, and he takes it seriously.
That night, the family dog starts barking. Both Carlos and younger brother Jose (aged 6) hear something, even though July thinks it's nothing. The next morning, their mother informs them that their father has headed back to his office in Madrid for the day, giving Carlos and July the opportunity to explore again, starting in the mysterious locked basement.
Their explorations eventually lead them back into the woods, and the screaming and the running begins.
For a fair amount of running time, the "found footage" approach works well. A balance is maintained between strict POV (point of view) shots and static views, where the camera is resting in one position. That gives us time to get to know the teen protagonists.
Cristian and July are appealing in their eager innocence to explore. The dynamic between them as brother and sister feels authentic. Cristian teases July about her boyfriend, calling him "the goblin," and July becomes bored with filming "nothing but trees." Both chafe under their parents. At one point, Cristian refers to his father sarcastically as "El Senor," which the English subtitles translate as "Sir" but in the original language is often used to refer to Jesus Christ as Lord. (In any event, it's not complimentary when Cristian says it.) Julie has little patience for her mother, often referring to her as a pain, which is pretty typical for a 15-year-old girl.
Once the action begins in earnest, though, the limitations of the found footage / POV sub-genre become more apparent. We've been waiting for things to develop, and when they do, we want to see what happens. But because the footage is restricted to what is supposedly filmed by Cristian or July, we see more flying dirt and snapping tree limbs than anything else. When the camera pauses to allow us to absorb what's happening, we get glimpses that something horrifying is happening. Those glimpses are effectively rendered.
Glimpses are not movies, however.
It's a fundamental dilemma. In order to pretend that the footage is "real," the filmmakers must make sure that a fair amount of the action can be captured in some way by the supposed "real" people involved. The filmmakers, who are invariably trained professionals, must pretend that they are amateurs with limited knowledge of how to frame the action. The filmmakers also ask audiences to believe that amateur camera operators will continue taping the action with the same dedication as seasoned Middle Eastern war photographers, no matter what horrors unfold in front of the lens, even when a family member is in mortal danger.
Putting away the pretense that 'Atrocious' is "real," writer/director Fernando Barreda Luna is clearly talented. He includes tiny homages to what are probably favorite filmmakers (Scorsese, Tarantino, Argento, among others) without making a big deal about it. He has a good story to tell, featuring two believable teen siblings. For all the jittery, "shaky cam" footage, there's almost an equal amount that is calm and nicely framed. To its credit, the film keeps to a brisk running time, about 75 minutes, and endeavors to avoid overstaying its welcome.
Still, we've been in these woods before, so we have a general idea what to expect. Before the screaming and the running begins, 'Atrocious' tends to slack instead of steadily building tension, which minimizes the effect of the pay-off moments. It's hard to be frightened by things that go bump in the night if you can't feel the bump.
To be fair, if you haven't seen very many found footage movies, which tend to polarize audiences, 'Atrocious' may strike you in a more favorable fashion. The film has been compared to 'Paranormal Activity,' which also had a good number of effective moments without completely thrilling (or chilling) yours truly. 'Atrocious,' at least, wrings a couple of new wrinkles from a formula that needs shaking up. For that, it's worth a walk -- or run -- through the woods.
Found footage shows a vacationing family's deadly encounter with an urban legend. Read More

It is hands down the best IPA I have ever had! I think I stated this in a past article.. I knew they would win... it is a must! ;-))
If ever in Portland, grab it at the 51st and Sandy location.. bit more consistent there. I believe they did a batch w/ about 150 lbs. of extra grain added to the recipe as well. Somehow a batch at the pizza joint didn't turn out so well.. I think it's because someone took a vacation! :-)
Their Hop Monkey IPA aint bad either.. but its no Workhorse!

Is this the same competition that Green Flash won last year?
I'm glad for Laurelwood. Maybe they'll make the Workhorse their regular IPA. I'm not a big fan of the Boss IPA -- too unbalanced on the dry side. I like Workhorse and Hop Monkey though.

Your request was granted - Boss & Piston Pale were retired in lieu of Hop Monkey(new) and Workhorse. I think a lot of Laurelwood fans, myself included, agreed with you.
But I don't think that Green Flash won last year. I was surprised how early it went out - but since its on the extreme side of IPAs, that sort of made sense.

The facts were enough of a motivator.
"Four losses in a row," Alabama coach Patrick Murphy said, "is unacceptable."
The response was as resounding as it gets.
The Crimson Tide (41-11, 13-10 SEC) had four runs after its first four at-bats, 10 runs by the end of the first inning and a doubleheader split thanks to its 14-0, five-inning victory over the Wildcats in Game 2.
Had Alabama lost, it would have been the program's first five-game losing streak since 1999. Now that it's avoided that dubious kind of history, the Crimson Tide can focus solely on capping its regular season with an important victory in Sunday's 1:30 p.m. rubber match at Rhoads Stadium.
As you'll see in one of our three videos, catcher Molly Fichtner, whose three-run home run got Alabama rolling in Game 2's first inning, vowed that the version of Alabama that routed the Wildcats would show up for Sunday's game.

Jacob Heilbrunn: Did Stalin Murder Lenin?Roundup: Talking About History
Jacob Heilbrunn is a senior editor at The National Interest.
Did he do it? He would not be the first subordinate to seek to polish off his superior in an authoritarian system. History is replete with examples of a seemingly dutiful understudy scheming to remove his mentor.
I'm talking, of course, about Stalin and Lenin. The theory that Stalin sped along the demise of the old boy—who wasn't actually that old when he died, a mere fifty-four—has been around for decades. Now it is being revived. Last Friday, at the annual University of Maryland School of Medicine conference about the deaths of famous historical figures, the Russian historian Lev Lurie suggested that while Lenin was undoubtedly in poor health in the 1920s, Stalin hastened his death by having the Soviet leader poisoned. The convulsions Lenin suffered shortly before his death, Lurie says, are not consistent with the symptoms of the stroke he had experienced. If Lurie is right, it might turn Lenin into more of a martyr, at least in Russia. His specter continues to loom over the country. Almost instantly, the Bolsheviks transformed Lenin, whose corpse was embalmed and remains displayed in Moscow, into a cult figure, one that has outlived the regime itself. He serves as an important vestige of a neo-imperial past that postcommunist Russia apparently cannot afford to dispense with. What the historian Nina Tumarkin declared years ago in her scintillating book Lenin Lives! remains true today.
Certainly, Stalin had good reasons to hope Lenin would perish. It did not entirely escape Lenin's notice that the ambitious and young general secretary was taking control of the party machinery. Besides, as he complained in what has become known as his "testament," Lenin thought Stalin was "rude." Whether this would have translated into his demoting Stalin is another question. Lenin, after all, seemed to be complaining about bad manners. And Lenin himself was no shrinking violet when it came to taking out his enemies: he presided over the deaths of millions during the Russian Civil War and laid the foundations for the Gulag. Lenin's "Who Whom" question was no joking matter. It led to mass murder and totalitarian systems from Eastern Europe to China to Vietnam.
But unlike Stalin, Lenin does not seem to provide particular evidence of enjoying killing for its own sake...

The piece is focused from a non-figurative point of view and, starting from just one element that, by means of its movement capability and its look, expresses a great variety of actions, feelings, symbolisms and thoughts that directly connect with the public.
Following the rhythm of Wagner's piece of music, we manage this element not only shown as an abstract and ethereal shape, which provides an emotional and close feeling to the spectator, but also as a metamorphic element which sometimes becomes more literal through hidden human figures that transmit messages taken out of Wagner's opera.
In the project, the different characters have a clear-cut personality and every one of them adopts a different role in the story. In order to transmit this, we use colour. It can be red, which refers to humanity, it has both live and death; White, which represents purity, honesty and hope; and Black, which stands for power and fear.
These three colours are key throughout the story, since they are the ones that create the borders between two confronted worlds: the human and the divine. The closer we get to the end, the clearer we see how one prevails over the other.

Costa Rica followed up its surprise win over Uruguay with another World Cup stunner on Friday, beating four-time champion Italy 1-0 to secure a spot in the next round and eliminate England in the process.
Costa Rica captain Bryan Ruiz gave his side the lead in the 44th minute, heading in off the underside of the crossbar following a cross from Junior Diaz. Goal-line technology was used to confirm the goal.
There was a frenetic end to the first half, as moments before Ruiz's goal Costa Rica had a penalty appeal waved away when striker Joel Campbell went down in the area under a challenge from Giorgio Chiellini.
Costa Rica leads Group D with six points, while Italy and Uruguay have three each before Tuesday's showdown. England has zero points.
Italy can advance to the next round with a win or a tie against Uruguay.

Want to see why Assassin's Creed® was one of the most talked about games of E3 2012? Check out all of the awards AC won last week.
We are thrilled to see so much excitement from our fans and press alike. We can't wait for people to get their hands on the game this October 30th.
Game Trailers - Game of the Show
"As developers struggle to get one bug-free demo or multiplayer experience polished for E3 each year, Ubisoft smacks them all down with a whopping three separate single-player demos, and multiplayer to boot. Not to mention that the three demos show off entirely different styles of play within the same game. But more than just that, ACIII shows that no franchise is ever truly dead and with enough creative people on the team just about any IP can be revived and invigorated. Assassin's Creed III is easily the most interesting, varied and polished game at the expo, making it our Best of Show for E3 2012"
GameSpot - Best of E3: Editors' Choice Awards
"The story of Connor Kenway's (Ratonhnhaké:ton) quest to hunt the Templars amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the American Revolution looks set to be one of the most majestic experiences of the year, and one that explores a rich period of history that is rarely tapped for video games outside of PC strategy games. That it is so much more than just "Assassin's Creed with the main guy jumping around in trees" shows that Ubisoft is really pushing the franchise forward and evolving the concept beyond the ideas we've seen in the last few iterations starring Ezio."
IGN - Best of E3: Best Action Game
"Ubisoft has put a lot of time into refining the Assassin's Creed experience, and it shows. While Connor still runs, climbs, hides and kills, he does it in a way Altair and Ezio never quite did, blending in with the world around him on a level previous games never achieved. The plot of Assassin's Creed III is still shrouded in secrecy, but if the story is a match for the improvements to gameplay, this could easily be the best Assassin's Creed yet."
