Sound: This album shows yet another beautiful example of what talented musicians can do when they choose to collaborate with other talented musicians. The initial announcement of Sky Eats Airplane's vocalist Jerry Roush working with Josh Travis (When Knives Go Skyward, Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza) was a very nice surprise when looking at the growing list of 2012 music releases.
The sound is clearly what everyone hoped it would be: pounding riffs that touch on all aspects of Travis' guitar ability, soaring choruses and catchy hooks that bring the listener back to Sky Eats Airplane, and well rounded musicians that all get to have their featured moments on the album. Tracks like "If He Dies, He Dies" and "Counting Sheep" showcase Travis' almost Danza-like riffs that swap from powerful choruses to a cacophony of frenzied riffs. "White Flag" and "From May To Now" start and end the album on Roush's vocal prowess, adding a pop element to the album that no doubt will open up their sound to a wider audience. "Memorandum" takes a break from the frenzied riffs by adding a very relaxed groove driven by the bass that almost hypnotizes the listener.
All in all, the great thing about this album's sound is that while it is what we'd expect from a collaboration between Roush and Travis, it brings a lot of each band member's talents forward that aren't always highlighted in their respective groups. // 9
Lyrics: It is always hard to critique lyrics, seeing as I have limited practice with trying to carve out the topic for a song while at the same time choosing the right words to compliment it rhythmically. Fans of Sky Eats Airplane will obviously love Roush's lyrics, but I believe that while the lyrics are decent in my opinion, it is Roush's delivery that makes them sound that much cooler. He's able to take topics that are always reworked and repeated and give them a new direction over Travis' guitar playing. I can see how people may not like the lyrics and won't want to sing with them as their girlfriend screams each and every word at the stage, but I do see those guys unintentionally humming or singing the melodies crafted with the words. Whether it is the words sung out of tune or the melodies sung with no clarity in the words, Roush has done his job with this album. // 8
Overall Impression: This album is a clear standout in 2012. The month of July already has so many awesome releases to explore (Periphery, Exotic Animal Petting Zoo, The Contortionist), and Glass Cloud easily goes toe to toe with their "competition". The only reason why I have that word in quotations is because that while yes they are competing for fans and sales, there is still no other sound that can compare to what Glass Cloud has given to the world of music. It will be awesome to see how this group grows over the course of this year, and if more releases are in their future, you can bet I'll be one of the first to start jamming their tunes in my jeep. // 8

- Abstract
- We investigate the design of a miniaturized C-band photonic-crystal waveguide (PCW) interleaver, employing coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) ring resonators. An optimization approach based on a genetic algorithm (GA) has been applied to the filter components, such as tapers and directional couplers, leading to low reflection and high phase linearity. To evaluate the interleaver transmittivity function, an S-matrix approach is worked out, based on the optimized building blocks. A sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the effect of parameter tolerances.

By Tony Parra: PNT Staff Writer
A couple who returned to Floyd almost 26 years ago to take over a family ranch was named Floyd Citizens of the Year on Saturday during the 55th Annual Floyd Country Music Jamboree.
Harold and Jima Widener were recognized for their support for Floyd schools, sponsoring high-school senior trips, booster clubs and helping with the 100 years of Floyd history book, according to Kenny Reed, Floyd Lions Club president.
"It's just a great honor," Harold Widener said. "We were surprised, we weren't expecting it. We chose to come back to Floyd."
Jima Widener said they have lived in Washington, D.C., where her husband was an FBI agent, and in Tyler, Texas, but made the choice to come back to Floyd, where the couple met going to Floyd Schools. Jima Widener said her husband was an FBI agent for 18 years.
The couple has been married for 46 years.
"I made a comment on Saturday night that I'm proud to live in a community where we don't have trouble finding lots of people who are deserving of the award," Reed said.
Jima Widener said the couple moved back to Floyd in 1979, with their son Joel graduating from Floyd High School in 1980 and their daughter Susan in 1985. Two of the Widener's three children graduated from Floyd.
"It was a great place to come back and raise your kids," Jima Widener said. "It's home. We've never been sorry to come back."
Reed said the award honors a Floyd citizen who has not only contributed to the community in the last five or 10 years but during their whole lifetime.
The four-day jamboree featuring local musicians and cowboy poets ended Sunday with a gospel performance.
Organizers said there were approximately 1,300 paid attendants Thursday through Saturday night.
"Overall it was a success," organizer Houston Lee said. "Saturday night was lighter than last year's Saturday night, but that may have something to do with the weather."
Reed said the club raised approximately $4,500 for the first three days of the jamboree compared to $3,400 last year.
Reed said much of that money will go to Floyd families who may need to pay medical bills, help pay the water bill for the Floyd Community Center and glassware for Floyd students.

Short of seceding from the union, the states can take strong action to counter an abusive federal government
The Red States should issue a "Declaration of Non-Compliance" with all unconstitutional Federal laws and regulations
Short of seceding from the union, are there steps the states can take to counter an abusive federal government?
For example, suppose a big state, such as Texas, declared itself a tax sanctuary — that no Texan will be required to pay an income tax of, say, more than 15 percent to the federal government.
It would cite the U.S. Constitution's Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments for legal justification.
The Fifth Amendment states that "Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."
This is known as the "Takings Clause."
The Fourteenth Amendment states that the government must not "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
This is known as the "Equal Protection of the Laws" clause.
The progressive income taxes violates both these Amendments.
If some Americans are taxed at a higher rate than others, they are being denied equal treatment under the law — a fundamental principal of common law and justice.
I should not pay a bigger fine for running a red light if I'm richer.
If the government is taking my money to give to someone else, clearly my property is being taken without just compensation . . . and not even for public use. So this is a violation of the "Takings Clause."
So there is plenty of legal justification for Texas to simply declare (by passing a state law) that no Texan will be required to pay an income tax of more than 15 percent to the federal government.
The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution establishes the dual sovereignty doctrine. It states that,
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
According to the Tenth Amendment, most of what the federal government is doing today is unconstitutional.
If the federal government actually followed the Tenth Amendment, it would be about one-third the size it is now.
The Constitution set up a federal government to do certain very specific things –"establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."
Clearly, the federal government has no Constitutional authority to take money from one American to give to someone else.
The Sixteenth Amendment states that,
Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
But the federal government does not have the authority to tax some people at a 30 percent rate and others at a 10 percent rate (for the purpose of wealth redistribution) because that violates both the Fifth Amendment's "takings" clause and the Fourteenth Amendment's "equal protection of the laws" clause.
The Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly upheld the "dual sovereignty" doctrine of the Constitution's Tenth Amendment.
Most recently, in the ObamaCare case, the court ruled that the states are under no obligation to comply with the ObamaCare law. That is, the states are under no obligation to use money from the state treasury to set up the ObamaCare "exchanges" or to expand "Medicaid."
Thus, much of the financing mechanism for ObamaCare is gone if the states simply refuse to provide the funds and refuse to set up the exchanges.
James Madison and Thomas Jefferson both argued that the states have the right simply to refuse to go along with unconstitutional federal laws and decrees. After all, it was the states who created the federal government in the first place.
At North Carolina's ratifying convention, James Iredell told the delegates that when "Congress passes a law consistent with the Constitution, it is to be binding on the people. If Congress, under pretense of executing one power, should, in fact, usurp another, they will violate the Constitution."
In other words, the states would have the right to ignore any law Congress might pass that violates the Constitution.
So let's say Texas declares that no Texan will pay more than a 15 percent rate on income to the federal government and that no Texan will be subject to arrest by federal authorities for refusing to pay more than this. What practically could the federal government do in response?
Well, the federal government could try to come into Texas to arrest the non-compliant Texan.
The state of Texas would then provide legal defense for the Texas taxpayer while the case worked its way through the courts, which could take years.
The state of Texas can just use the courts to tie up the federal government for years in litigation.
This would be taking a page from the ACLU's playbook.
The ACLU has achieved a lot for the Left by threatening litigation and tying up the government in litigation.
Texas could take this approach with every abusive federal law, such as the Obama Administration's plans to deny Americans their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, or all the unconstitutional regulations coming from the EPA.
In fact, the state of Texas could declare every federal regulation illegal that was not explicitly passed into law by Congress.
The federal agencies have issued hundreds of thousands of regulations that carry the force of law. You will pay fines and can go to jail for failing to comply with these regulations. But these regulations should carry no weight whatsoever because they were not actually passed into law by Congress.
Congress is the lawmaking body, not the Executive Branch.
And Congress has no Constitutional authority to transfer the lawmaking power to the Executive Branch.
So the state of Texas (or any state) could go through every federal regulation and declare it will no longer comply with these regulations.
What could the federal government do if Texas did that?
And what if this trend caught on in other solidly Red states? — such as Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Wyoming, Utah, Kansas, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Nebraska, Kentucky, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho.
That's a pretty sizeable chunk of territory that we might call the "Free United States of America" — in contrast to the "Enslaved United States of America."
What could the federal government really do if this happened?
We would not actually secede from the union. These states would just refuse to comply with unconstitutional laws and regulations. They would continue to comply with Constitutional laws. We would want, for example, to continue to pay for national defense because that's authorized by the Constitution.
The states can go through the federal budget and determine what they will pay for (the Constitutional items) — and NOT pay for (the unconstitutional items).
We will be happy to pay for all Constitutional federal functions of government.
Another area for the states to put their foot down is to say "no more seizing of private and state lands by the federal government."
The states are perfectly capable of identifying places of true scenic beauty to protect.
What's been happening is that the federal government has abused its eminent domain power to simply seize as much American land as it can for itself.
The federal government now owns 84.5 percent of Nevada, 69.1 percent of Alaska, 57.4 percent of Utah, 53.1 percent of Oregon, 50.2 percent of Idaho, 48.1 percent of Arizona, 55.3 percent of California, etc. — in other words, most of the Western United States.
The Obama Administration has mapped out a plan to seize millions more acres of valuable Western lands, putting many ranchers out of business.
The Red States need to say not only no more lands will be seized the federal government, but should begin taking lands back from the federal government.
Who is the federal government to say what Texas or Alaska can and can't do with their own land — including their oil?
Kick the federal government out of the state.
And it really doesn't matter what the Supreme Court rules because most of these federal laws and regulations are unconstitutional, no matter what liberals on the Supreme Court say.
The Supreme Court is not the supreme authority of the land. The Constitution is. If the Supreme Court ruled that it's okay to kill all red-headed children, that would not make it Constitutional to do so.
There's no mention of the Supreme Court in the Constitution as the supreme authority in the land. That did not happen until 1958, when in Cooper v. Aaron the Court declared that its rulings have exactly the same weight as the text of the Constitution itself.
But that's a self-evident absurdity.
The Constitution very clearly states that the courts operate under the laws established by Congress. And Congress operates under the Constitution.
It's then clear from the ratification debates on the Constitution that the states are supposed to be the final arbiters on what is Constitutional, or not. In fact, that was the entire promise in the ratification debates, or the Constitution never would have been ratified. The states were assured over and over again, that they would be the judge of the Constitutionality of laws enacted by Congress.
If the federal law is Constitutional, the states would and should be pleased to abide by the law. We all agree that sensible laws and rules are needed for the proper functioning of a civil society.
But under the American system, most of the governing is supposed to be handled by state and local governments.
Instead, the federal government that is the big usurper and primary lawbreaker America. It's come more to resemble organized crime than a real government.
We have a rogue President, a rogue federal bureaucracy, and a largely rogue Supreme Court — a court that actually found an unalienable right to an abortion in the text of the Constitution — where no such right exists — thus nullifying abortion laws in all 50 states.
So if the Supreme Court can nullify laws in all 50 states, the states can counter by nullifying unconstitutional federal laws. We then have a stand-off — which is what happens when the government attempts to impose its will on an unwilling people. We're supposed to be governed in America by the "consent of the governed."
Since we do need courts, the "Free United States" can set up its own Supreme Court — a competing court made up of Constitutionalists.
Again, what could the federal government really do about this?
The feds could theoretically take military action.
But that's not likely to happen unless the states actually secede from the union. But the states would not be doing that. We are not talking about attacking Fort Sumter here.
The states would just be enforcing their Constitutional rights — vigorously, on every front and in every way.
It would not be a Declaration of Independence, we would be issuing a Declaration of Non-Compliance – non-compliance with unconstitutional laws and regulations.
The Supreme Court has already given the states the roadmap for how to do this with its ObamaCare ruling — declaring that the states are under no obligation to comply with ObamaCare.
Its time for the Red States to reassert their Constitutional authority in every area — to take authority back from the federal government.
And it would good to formalize the Red State complaint against the federal government with a formal Declaration of Non-Compliance — following the same pattern of argument as America's Declaration of Independence of 1776.
America's Declaration of Independence made its case by cataloguing a long list of abusive behavior by the British government. It's well worth reading this list, because so many of these complaints apply to our own federal government today:
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world . . .
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance . . .
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation . . .
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever . . .
A strong case can be made that much of this is happening now — only more so. The federal government has vastly over-stepped its constitutional authority in many areas — "has erected a multitude of New Offices [not envisoned by the Constitution], and sent hither swarms of Officers [bureacrats] to harass our people, and eat out their substance."
Isn't this happening today?
Let's take ObamaCare as just one example.
ObamaCare sets up a Soviet-style health care bureaucracy that will destroy freedom in America and wreck our health care system if its allowed to take root and spread like a cancer into every area of American life. ObamaCare . . .
- Requires the hiring of 16,000 brand to IRS agents to enforce the 2,700-page law.
- Establishes 159 brand new government agencies to administer the program;
- Includes 21 new taxes and tax increases.
Barack Obama promised in his 2008 campaign for the Presidency that he would "fundamentally transform" the American system (his words) — including our Constitutional structure of government.
The engine that's driving this fundamental transformation of our society is"ObamaCare."
Communists and socialists have always known that the fastest and surest way to move a country to socialism is through socializing medicine — that is, by putting a country's health care system under government control.
Vladimir Lenin, the founder and architect of the Soviet Communist state, said "Socialized medicine is the keystone to the arch of the socialist state."
Lenin and the Communists knew that once you control people's access to health care and medical treatment, you control their lives. The Left here in America is well aware of this also.
When radio host Paul W. Smith asked liberal Congressman John Dingell (D-MI) why it will take the government until 2014 to fully set up the ObamaCare system, Dingell said this:
"It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people."
Source: News Talk WJR Radio with Paul W. Smith 3/23/2010
Does this sound like the America established by our nation's Founding Fathers and described in the Constitution of the United States?
Is this really the purpose of our federal government — "to control the people"?
The Constitution says the primary purpose of government is to "secure the blessings of liberty" and to provide for the "common defense" – not to "control the people."
Under our Constitution, people are supposed to be free to do whatever they want, so long as they are not harming someone else.
That's called freedom.
America's Declaration of Independence says the purpose of government is to secure our "unalienable rights" to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
ObamaCare is about none of this. ObamaCare is about the opposite of what described by our nation's founding documents.
No wonder Cuba's Communist dictator Fidel Castro hailed the passage of ObamaCare as "a miracle."
In other words, when Barack Obama told us in 2008 that he was out to "fundamentally transform" America, he meant it. And he's doing it primarily through ObamaCare — but also via the EPA, Executive Orders, and his administrative control of the vast federal bureaucracy.
His bureaucrats and regulators are issuing an avalanche of regulations on their own every week that carry the force of law — complete with criminal penalties and sanctions. All this is unconstitutional.
It's time for the Red States to Declare Independence from all this — or rather Declare their Non-Compliance with a long catalogue of federal abuses by the federal government, very similar to America's original Declaration of Independence of 1776.
This is not a proposal to go to war or to secede. It's a proposal simply to refuse to comply with all federal laws and regulations that are clearly unconstitutional.
What could Obama and the Left do if the Red States actually did that?
Not much.

Ben— Interesting idea… I don't see how the even most conservative states would try. Recall Texas tried to stop the airport pedophiles and groping TSA. The feds countered they would just stop flights in that state and so Texas caved.
The income tax arguments have been tried before, a complicit court along with the feds just end up throwing people like Irwin Schiff in prison.
Your insight regards the Bill of Rights, is not totally known, at least by people on the right! The ACLU are quite often effective defending atheists' rights,
but not necessarily the person that leans to the right … as human nature might. I think you can , by your clever methods,use the Bill of Rights, to defend the of liberty for all us citizens…{ as well as those visiting our country )

"Brad" is a fantastic mens' wig
I think this is a great mens' wig. I've had many compliments which is a "ego" booster. The color is great and I had the back neckline trimmed up a bit. If need be I'll probably order the same wig in the future.
Love it!
I've just received my new Brad wig and I have to say, it's great! It does not look like a wig and is really natural looking. The only complaint that I would make is that the front and top isn't as long as the wig featured in the video and the model wearing the black jacket. Other than that, the wig looks great. It actually resembles the way my hair used to look when I was in high school. Now days, my hair is beginning to thin and I think that this Brad wig will be the more affordable solution to hair replacement. My friends honestly thought I got a hair cut and couldn't tell. I'll be ordering more. I may try the Johnny next.
i don't know about the women's Ellen Wille wigs but the men's wigs are very inconsistent. i have this wig in M5S as mentioned in the pervious review. it looks exactly like the wigs.com model photos and thats how i style it. i just received another Brad in a darker color for winter and the front is drastically shorter. it states above the front is 3.5", i measured the front of this one and it's 2". i can not style it the same because of the length difference. i guess whoever made this particular wig messed up and i will have to pay re-stocking fees.
We truly apologize your Ellen Wille Brad was not consistent. We confirmed you are currently being assisted and look forward to inspecting this item and resolving this for you. If you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-581-2001.
A Professional Grade Unit!
I just started wearing wigs. My other wig, the Michael, was a great first choice but i wanted to make the plunge for one with the lace front and better quality hair. I was hoping for a human hair but the synthetic feels like the real deal! I bought the M17S, described as light golden brown. it actually looks more like a dark ash blonde. As a hairstylist for over 34 years, and a color educator with a book on hair color on amazon.com, I definitely know my color. Surprisingly enough, I ended up loving the color. i didn't think i could wear it since my natural color was more auburn. The lace front looks very real. Since i've done theatre and cancer treatment wigs, i customized the unit with very little alterations. i love the natural hairline, the texture of the hair and how comfortable it is! If they made some in warmer colors, that would be great but I understand most men prefer cooler colors. i also bought the M14S Dark Ash Blonde which looks more like a medium blonde to me be but it's fun to be able to change my look! i purchased a second M17S (too dark) for a second M17S. The rep I spoke to was very helpful and the exchange happened quickly! Keep up the great work Ellen Wille and Wigs.com!
Thanks Ellen Wille :)
the Brad is the perfect men's "starter" wig in my opinion. it does NOT look like newscaster hair. I had a little trouble picking the best color for me. The M3S is a very dark brown. little bit darker than my eyebrows and way darker than my facial hair. so I decided i's try the M5S...it looks much more natural because it blends with my facial hair, the color is described as medium to dark brown...i'd say it's medium neutral/golden brown. i agree with the previous review about the colors looking too "warm" ...which for men is a good thing IMO
light, comfortable cap, not too thick, good hairline, although I would've preferred a slight dip in the middle but it still looks very realistic. Wigs.com's customer service is on point. i'd like to thank Roxie personally for your help and patience :)

Acer Aspire TimelineX - The next generation
Once again Acer pushes the boundaries of mobile computing to the extreme, creating a family of notebooks destined to impress. The all-new Aspire TimelineX Series builds on the achievement of the previous generation and reaches unprecedented levels of performance, convenience, connectivity, and battery life.
The next-generation Acer Aspire TimelineX Series is stunning in many ways. From the ultra-thin and smart design, to the powerful processor and graphics, to the advanced audio technology and seamless connectivity, you'll be amazed. The first thing that catches the eye is the new Cobalt Blue aluminium cover that blends with the silver profile to create a futuristic effect. The clean lines, geometric shapes, and smooth angles conjure up a minimalist and ultra-stylish look and feel.
The multi-gesture touchpad, in the same colour as the cover and palm rest, maintains a consistent overall look and feel, yet is easy to spot thanks to the slightly recessed design. On the side, the clear-cut design of the hinge becomes a rich visual element. The next-generation chiclet keyboard, set out on a silver base, makes the operation area look neat and tidy and is easier to clean.
Having achieved the standard of more than 8 hours, the next-generation Aspire TimelineX takes it a step further with as much as 25% more power : up to 10 hours of battery life for an entire day of work and entertainment on a single charge. On top of that, the battery pack boasts a super-long life cycle.
While the power capacity of a conventional battery starts to fade to 80% at around 300 charge cycles, Acer's new long-life battery formula retains 80% capacity for over 1,000 charge cycles. This means up to 4 years of use and translates into fewer battery replacements, which amounts to reduced energy and resources consumption. What's more, the battery is built-in, allowing a thinner, neater design and eliminating any risk of accidentally being released during operation.
To easily keep an eye on the battery level, the Aspire TimelineX Series is outfitted with a one-touch LED indicator that shows low, medium, and full battery levels in different colours while plugged in and unplugged.
New power-saving features have been implemented in the Aspire TimelineX Series, including the power-saving mode for the optical drive, which helps extend battery life and gives you more time for work and entertainment.
The Acer Aspire TimelineX Series features the second generation of the Intel® Core™ processor family, combining high performance with lower power consumption, along with fantastic graphics. This ensures better media processing for faster video editing and sharing, superior HD video playback with top-notch picture quality, and a terrific gaming experience. Aspire TimelineX laptops are also available with dedicated NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics, enabling incredible gaming performance and superior image quality with stunning 3D visual effects, realistic lighting and lifelike imagery. To meet the needs of enthusiast multimedia collectors, the Aspire TimelineX Series comes with up to 750 GB of hard disk space. Alternatively, all-new TimelineX models can be equipped with an SSD drive for ultra-fast boot times and application loading.
To intensify digital media enjoyment, HDMI® connectivity brings HD entertainment to your big-screen TV for the ultimate high-definition experience. The optional USB 3.0 port, meanwhile, transfers data to and from external devices up to 10 times faster than before. The rich entertainment experience is enhanced even further by realistic and vibrant sound, courtesy of Dolby® Home Theater® v4, enabling maximized volume without distortion and improved dialogue clarity through PC speakers, headphones or your home theatre system.
Ranging from the compact 34 cm (13.3") 3830T model up to the super-sleek 35.5 cm (14.0") 4830T and 39.5 cm (15.6") 5830T versions, the Aspire TimelineX family features slim Acer CineCrystal LED backlit displays with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1366 X 768 HD resolution. These displays present razor-sharp images and breathtaking visuals in high definition for the ultimate go-anywhere cinematic entertainment experience.
The Aspire TimelineX family integrates state-of-the-art wireless and wired technologies: Wi-Fi CERTIFIEDä network connection, Bluetooth® 3.0 (optional) and Gigabit LAN. The new 1.3 MB high-definition webcam not only lets you keep in touch with your friends or business contacts through high-resolution video-chats, but offers improved video quality under low light and permits you to record your own brilliant HD 720p videos with audio to share on your social networks.
Stay powered up with the Aspire TimelineX by charging your smartphone or other USB devices without even turning the laptop on. With your laptop as your charging station, you can travel yet lighter because you don't have to carry so many power adapters. It's smarter than you ever thought a laptop could be. You can even plug in your smartphone headset to listen and talk through the combo audio jack.
The Aspire TimelineX series exceeds any expectations and is extreme in every way, in just one inch.

Oil - Nov 5

Big oil's expensive black gold quest
Steve Hargreaves, CNNMoney.com
One study says oil company spending is having little impact on boosting supplies, but firms continue to hunt.
Soaring crude prices may have prompted oil companies to venture into ever hostile terrain to bring supplies to market, yet by one account all the spending may merely serve to hold production levels constant.
According to a recent report from oil and gas consultancies John. S. Herold and Harrison Lovergrove & Co., investment in "upsteam" activities, which incude exploration and production, jumped 31 percent from 2004 to 2005.
Yet the study, based on data provided by publicly traded oil and gas companies worldwide, said production volumes grew just 1 percent, and proven reserves in the ground remained essentially unchanged.
"The industry continued to labor to grow production and reserves," Arthur Smith, chairman of John S. Herold, said in the report. "The potential for stormy seas looms."

Estimated U.S. drilling activity hits 21-year high
energy API
U.S. drilling estimates in the third quarter of 2006 show that the U.S. drilling pace remains strong, with nearly twice the level of activity recorded during the lows of the early to mid-1990s, API reported.
According to API's 2006 Quarterly Well Completion Report: Third Quarter, a 21-year high estimated 37,261 oil wells, natural gas wells and dry holes were completed in the first three quarters of 2006. In the third quarter alone, there were an estimated 12,687 completions. This figure is the highest single quarter estimate since the first quarter of 1986 and the twelfth consecutive quarter of increases in estimated U.S. drilling activity.
(20 Oct 2006)
As the size of remaining wells decreases, ever more drilling is required. -AF
Canada: Forecast predicts energy exploration will decline in 2007
Vancouver Sun
Gas and oil exploration activity will decline next year for the first time since 2002, the Petroleum Services Association of Canada says in a 2007 forecast released today.
The association predicts a rise in crude oil drilling, but warns that natural gas exploration will take a "significant drop" because of a surplus of gas in storage in Canada and the United States at the commencement of the 2006-2007 winter heating season.

It's always interesting to see which names show up on the stat sheet at the quarterback position at the conclusion of the season, with some names unexpectedly high and some unexpectedly low.
Many quarterbacks finish near their projected positions, but others become head-scratchers—like Ryan Fitzpatrick finishing 11th in 2011 passing yards while Sam Bradford finished 27th.
Regardless, the projections for 2012 are coming fast and in an effort to spin the clock forward here are the projections for 50 active NFL quarterbacks, based on yards passing in the 2011 season.
Each player will have their 2012 stats projected as well as (in some cases) where that player will be playing next season.
The list is broken down into what rosters players were on in 2011, so if you are looking for where Matt Flynn will end up for instance, simply flip forward to the Green Bay Packers slide.
For more in-depth analysis of the NFL's QBs, check out Lead Writer Matt Miller's exclusive, new ranking of the top 50, kicking off the B/R NFL 1,000 series.

They are really big into the didymo preventionl. We both took our boots with stealth rubber soles and had cleaned them before we left. At customs they we inspected, taken somewhere for cleaning and came back looking new. We fished in boots from the lodge...new Simms with felt soles and aluminum studs. Waders and boots were soaked and cleaned every night by our guide. All our fly lines were that neutral tan color with 12-15 foot leaders...strike indicators were yarn and never had line out over the fish...always approached the fish from directly below which required some serious wading at times...our guide also said these fish can "smell" someone in the water above them for 200 yds or more...hard to believe but there were times when he would not let us into the water if a back eddy was going toward the fish we were casting to...would like to be there in late January for their dry fly season....browns are now feeding on an over abundant mouse population...this happens every 3-4 years there and is supposed to add a couple of pounds to the fish when it happens.
Wow - Rog! Now I'm even more excited. Great advice. I'm going to start practicing with those long leaders to get ready. Maybe I'll get some time on the Clinch between now and then - the long leaders might be great there anyway. I've heard the same about the fish "smelling" you upstream - especially if you've got any kind of bug repellent applied. I'm going to get my hands on a few mouse patterns as well. BTW - did you have any problems traveling with loaded up fly boxes?
Wannabe...I had not problem with any of my fishing gear...tackle wise...we did have to pull out our wading boots at customs...after looking at them they took them into the back and shortly brought them back in separate plastic bags with the soles looking brand new. I actually carried several personal rods and reels with me as well as my wading boots. We found that our lodge provided everything we needed as far as waders, boots and tackle...our guide used his fly boxes and would sometimes change flies four or more times casting to a single fish. Have a great trip....where will you be fishing?
I'll be two days on the North Island (Raglan) - some small streams there...
Three days in Motueka (close to Nelson) I've got a bunch of spots mapped out around the Motueka river and its feeders, like the Baton...
Three days in the Te Anau / Queenstown area - some spots on the Mataura and its feeders.

May Never Know What 787 Batteries Failed
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A senior engineer with Boeing says the company may never know what caused battery problems that have grounded the company's 787 Dreamliners. Richard J. Horigan, the engineering leader of the 787, said today the root cause of smoldering batteries experienced by the two different 787s may never be known because the evidence was destroyed by heat. The FAA has approved Boeing's redesigned battery system.

Your title and the problem do not match. Which is it?
Euler's formula states that .
This seems trivial but I am going to ask for verification anyways.
Is it just this simple?
(i) You can define where are the standard and on
(ii) You can define and in strict terms of and which have been already defined
It is a way, but not the only one.The usual way of proving the formulas you have used is to use power series ....
Fernando Revilla
You can also doing this, if you know the theorems:
A) By appealing to certain facts about analytic continuation (namely, you can prove that your function is true on a certain line [namely the imaginary one] and go from there)
B) Use (although for this one I'm less sure that it works) particular theorems about the uniqueness to complex valued initial condition equations.
and using the Milne-Thompson method, we inmediately obtain:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Detroit Lions 24-21 at Ford Field. Detroit committed five turnovers while failing to register a takeaway.
Detroit falls to 6-5 with its second consecutive loss to a team with a losing record. All the goodwill from the 6-3 start is gone. The Buccaneers improve to 3-8 with their third win in a row.
The Lions now have a short week to prepare for the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving. That game is for first place in the NFC North, as the Chicago Bears lost to St. Louis 42-21 to also fall to 6-5. The Packers somehow tied Minnesota, which leaves Green Bay at 5-5-1.
There are many difficult things to digest from this loss for Detroit. Here are some of my initial takeaways from the game...

Buettner named top quarterback at Roughrider Bowl
Peacock's Sawyer Buettner was singled out at the end of Football Saskatchewan's Roughrider Bowl this past weekend.
© Times-Herald photo by Matthew Gourlie
Peacock quarterback Sawyer Buettner powers his way for a four-yard touchdown run at the SHSAA 3A provincial football final Saturday afternoon in Moose Jaw.
The real prize for the quarterback will come later this summer.
Roughrider Bowl game in Regina.
"It's a pretty big deal to represent your province at the Canada Cup so this is a goal I have in mind every year ŌĆö especially this year to try to make the U18 Sask. team," said Buettner.
Central's Braydon Johnson and Jacob Laboccetta made the team last year as Saskatchewan lost to Quebec in the Football Canada Cup semifinals.
This year Moffatt and Buettner will have a better chance of earning a trip to the tournament as Football Sask is fielding two teams when they host the Canada Cup from July 6-12 in Saskatoon. Saskatchewan White will be the eighth seed and will play Quebec to open, while Saskatchewan Green will be the fourth seed and have a much more manageable opener against Manitoba.
Buettner was on the under-16 provincial team that won the Red River Cup in his Grade 9 year and is hoping to play on his second provincial team later this summer.
"Last year I made it to the last tryout, but I didn't make the team. This year I've been going to all of the Team Sask stuff and hopefully I can make a team this year," said Buettner who is in Grade 11.
The Team Green players will get together again this weekend in Regina for another camp to trim the roster down to 40 players. Team White will be doing the same in Saskatoon.
"I think I have a pretty good shot, but we'll see how the weekend goes," said Buettner. "I'm pretty excited to get the practices underway."
Buettner has been busy working and doing conditioning before the start of his high school season and to get ready for the under-18 camps. He was happy with his performance at the Roughrider Bowl and being named the top quarterback will only help his confidence.
"There were 10 quarterbacks there, so that was pretty good," said Buettner who threw a touchdown and an interception during the game. "It was pretty even between the run and pass. It was a fun scrimmage."

[edit] Background
Wario's first platformer was more than popular enough to warrant sequels, but Wario Land 2 had many changes to Wario's gameplay to separate his gameplay from that of his rival Mario.
However it isn't Mario that Wario is concerned with at all. If you thought Wario was the worst when it came to manners (or lack thereof) Captain Syrup and her pirates have ransacked Wario's Castle, trashing the place in the process. Now Wario has set out to reclaim his treasures and get a measure of payback against Syrup!
[edit] Game Play
Gameplay in Wario Land 2 takes place across a maximum of 52 stages spread across 12 chapters. Wario must gather coins, smash his enemies and solve a number of puzzles if he is to succeed.
The biggest departure from Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is that Wario is Immortal and cannot die. This comes into play when it comes to solving a variety of puzzles; some enemies can actually change Wario's form temporarily.
And if you want a bonus, there's also a Time Attack mode and a Game & Watch game!
[edit] Features
- Up to 52 Levels over 12 Chapters
- Battery-backed memory saves progress (Game Boy Color Only)
- Time Attack Mode and Game & Watch Game for some extra bonuses!
[edit] Hardware Info
- Game Boy Color: 1 Cartridge
- Nintend 3DS: Nintendo eShop
This game is also known as Wario Land 2: Nusumareta Zaihō in Japan.

via Survivor recounts life of rape, abuse by Your Black Muslim Bakery leader | California Watch. h/t TROP
In 2002, five years before journalist Chauncey Bailey was murdered by members of Your Black Muslim Bakery, a woman identified only as Jane Doe 1 stepped forward to report decades of sexual abuse, welfare fraud and violence by the bakery's leader, Yusuf Bey Sr.
She was prepared to hand over to Oakland police DNA from three of her children, evidence that Bey had impregnated her, the first time when she was 12 years old.
Given the history of violence by members of Your Black Muslim Bakery, this was a risky move. But the woman was fueled by a mother's anger. Her daughter, then 18, alerted her that Bey was trying to abuse her – his own daughter.
Now a devout Christian, Jane Doe 1 has decided she no longer wants to be the nameless whistle-blower. Her name is Kowana Banks and, in her first public interview, she said she made the decision to come forward to help other children trapped in similar situations. She hopes to publish a book about her experiences.
"Abused people go one of two ways: Either they are going to self-destruct or they're going to make a difference," said Banks, 44. "I'm going to make a difference."
The violent saga of Your Black Muslim Bakery is fading into Oakland history, but wounds remain among Bey's victims and family members. Today marks the fifth anniversary of the murder of Bailey, the Oakland Post editor who had been investigating the bakery's finances.
The facts behind Banks' story have been outlined in court proceedings and depositions, but her decision to come forward allows her to detail her unique insider's perspective as a victim and survivor.
How many other victims are there and how many other Muslim enclaves in the U.S. also allow such abuse?

By David Wheeler/Special to the Journal
BOONEVILLE – The 39th playing of the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges All-Star game Saturday wrapped up an intense three days of work for coaches and players at Northeast Community College.
The wrap to the weekend was a 17-3 victory in the contest by the South squad over the North.
But the real winners are the players from throughout Mississippi who had a chance to earn scholarships over the three days of workouts and the game.
"I think the guys went out and had fun," said Itawamba Community College head coach Jon Williams, who was a spectator for this game, but had five players on the North squad. "The biggest thing of this weekend was that the practices were good for them."
Perhaps more important than the game, is the number of college recruiters that attend the practices Thursday and Friday leading up to the actual contest. For many players, it is their last chance to perhaps impress the right recruiter, and extend their college playing career.
Tiger earns honors
"I thought this was a fun weekend meeting all the new people," Northeast defensive back Kareem Brown of New Albany said. "The environment, and the atmosphere this week was great.
"This could be bittersweet because it was my last football game at Northeast, and perhaps my last football game."
Brown was named the Defensive MVP of the contest.
As to the actual game, the South struck first on an 8-yard fumble recovery and return by Rondrick Ragsdale from Gulf Coast.
The North responded with a 30-yard field goal by Northeast's Chris Cooper.
With all-star game rules, Cooper, a freshman from Madison, was also kicking for the South squad, and connected for a 37-yard field goal for a 10-3 halftime score.
The South then added a 14-yard pass from Clint Hatten to Cade Amacker, both from Gulf Coast, to account for the scoring in the second half.
Ragsdale was named the game MVP.
The South leads the all-star series, 19-18-2.

The Dane County Medical Examiner has identified the man shot and killed in an officer involved shooting on Madison's west side.
The man was Charles G. Carll, 59, of Madison. The Madison Police Department said officers believed Carll had cut his wife with a knife.
The shooting happened Saturday at 3:22 p.m. at 5214 Hammersley Road on Madison's west side.
Three officers, Alex Bol, Adrian Alan, and Ed Marshall were involved in the shooting and none of them were injured, officials said. The officers are on paid administrative leave.
Bol started with MPD in February 2008. Alan started with MPD in May 2008. Marshall started with MPD in May 2004.
Dispatchers sent police to a domestic disturbance and told officers Carll was outside, suicidal, and still had the knife, Sgt. Mike Hanson said.
Police deployed a Taser on the suspect, which was not successful, police said. Carll ignored the officers' verbal commands and advanced towards the officers, prompting the shooting, Hanson said.
Officials said they learned later that the wife was not injured.
The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, according to a release. The district attorney has been to the scene of the incident and the Dane County Sheriff's Office is observing the investigation of the incident.
Police reopened the 5200 block of Hammersley Road at 5:40 p.m. Sunday, after more than a day of investigating the scene.
City property records indicate Carll and Chung-Hsing Chen have owned the home for more than 15 years. The couple was living at the home, neighbors said.
Police haven't released the name of the man officers shot.
Madison police took the lead on the investigation, breaking from the department's decision after a May incident in which officers shot and killed Brent Brozek on the city's east side. Police brought state investigators in to lead that case.
Saturday's shooting was Madison's third officer-involved shooting since November 2012.

Why is Lincoln Park so pricey? I wanted to live in Lincoln Park so bad, but the rents are so expensive. What are some neighboring neighborhoods with a similar feel that I might want to try?
Link to this answer2+ weeks old
Lincoln Park is so expensive because it is a very desirable area to live in. The old economic rule of thumb; supply and demand. There is a high demand for this area, and a low supply. You might want to look at North Center, Roscoe Village, Wrigelyville, West Graceland, and Buena Park. These areas are somewhat similar in feel, but a bit less pricey. Call me and we can discuss this further, 773-340-1523

What is the character of a tent campaign:
The campaign program builds up to a
Each evening service has a theme, and
every speaker taking part will touch on a facet of the theme.
The first few evenings deals with sin
and the lost condition of man as well as brokenness and humbling as
characteristics of true repentance.
On the following evenings the
redemption of Christ is fully explained.
Then follows controversial issues such
as ancestral worship. Certain non- Christian church groups e.g. Zionists
and other superstitions are thoroughly examined.
It is only at the end of the
campaign that we give people a opportunity to make a commitment to the
Lord. The reason for this is so they have time to understand and
count the cost before making such a life changing decision.
The mission of the Church is missions. You must go or send a
