Manhattan Prep: high-end GMAT test prep
For people considering a GMAT prep course: As far as GMAT prep companies go, Manhattan Prep is among the very best in the industry. Here are three reasons why you should invest in a Manhattan Prep course:
1. Amazing GMAT results
Take a MPREP course if you're serious about getting the highest GMAT score possible—especially if you are targeting elite MBA programs with demanding candidate expectations. See what real students have to say about their MPREP experience by reading their reviews on Beat The GMAT's Verified Course Reviews Directory.
2. Laser-sharp focus on the GMAT.
As the name implies, Manhattan Prep is only focused on teaching the GMAT exam. Many competitors offer classes for a wide variety of standardized tests and attempt to apply the same cookie-cutter strategies across different tests. However, the people at Manhattan Prep have realized that oftentimes the strategies and skills required to beat the GMAT are specific only to the GMAT. MPREP tailors its curriculum to address all the nuances of this test.
3. Teaching quality can't be beat.
Manhattan Prep has one of the most selective teacher selection processes in the market. To be an instructor for Manhattan Prep, you must (1) have scored in the 99th percentile on the GMAT, and (2) have actual teaching experience and expertise. Manhattan Prep works hard to retain their talented teachers; as a result, MPREP compensates their teachers up to four times what some of their competitors pay.
Every Manhattan Prep class features nine sessions and focuses on teaching content and skills (ex. algebra, pronouns, probability, logic, etc.); some competitors focus on teaching tricks and tips (ex. process of elimination, guessing strategies)—unfortunately, these competitors fail to realize that learning content is the most effective way to truly understand the GMAT and obtain a high score.
If you don't live near a Manhattan Prep test prep center or live outside the United States, you can still take the Manhattan Prep Live Online course. These online classes are taught live using a unique e-learning platform and Voice-over-IP technology—Manhattan Prep will mail you the headset and microphone. All the features of the in-person class are present in the Live Online course. You can ask questions to your teacher, interact with other students, and see solutions written on a whiteboard. And, you'll have the added bonus of taking the classes from the convenience of your home! If you miss a Live Online class session, don't worry about it. All the sessions are recorded and you can review the missed classes later when you have the time. The Manhattan Prep Live Online course option is highly recommended by the Beat The GMAT community; check out the testimonials below as well as the discussions on the Beat The GMAT forum.

Why Manhattan Prep test prep materials are simply great
For people considering self study: Quite frankly, as a self studier you don't have much choice but to purchase at least some Manhattan Prep study material. As far as GMAT prep books go, there are only a handful of companies you can trust to effectively prepare for the GMAT on your own, and Manhattan Prep is definitely one of them.
According to a Beat The GMAT community poll that began in January 2007 and still runs through the present, Manhattan Prep was voted as having the best GMAT practice tests. It can't be emphasized enough how important it is to have high-quality GMAT practice exams during your preparation. By practicing with poor-quality practice exams, you run the risk of becoming familiar with questions that do not represent the actual GMAT accurately, thereby wasting your time. Thus, buying these MPREP practice tests is a wise investment for the self studier since these tests feature questions that will actually prepare for the real test.
The Manhattan Prep study guides are exceptionally strong as well. Since Manhattan Prep is one of the few prep companies on the market that focuses exclusively on the GMAT, they truly understand the subtleties of this test. These guides consistently get excellent reviews from the Beat The GMAT community. One guide in particular, the Manhattan Prep Sentence Correction Guide is an absolute must buy.

When we reviewed Gran Turismo 5, we didn't give it a score. We wrote lots of words, but no little number at the end – which made some people a bit confused but, as far as we were concerned, was justified by the simple fact that the game was much bigger than we could possibly ever get through in a limited timespan.
Now, after several updates, Gran Turismo 5 is finally the game it should have been. Version 1.06 has landed – the one we mentioned earlier – and it's a cracker. Thanks to our resident GT expert, JamboGT, we've got the whole list of changes and improvements, and it starts with the first big hitter – remote racing. Yes, you can now start a B-Spec race via the internet, watching how your PS3-controlled drivers are doing remotely. Incredible.
You can also now use the course maker in online races and the introduction of PP points – as we said – will finally mean that online races are properly limited to specific "numerical index" ranges. There's loads – it's a proper, balls-out amazing update and yes – this makes the game something far above what we got late last year.
Major Changes and New Features
- Remote Racing – [Remote Races] have been added to the bottom left of the [GT Mode] – [Community] screen. Here you can start a fully automated B-Spec race using yours and your friends' "My Drivers", and gain rewards and experience from it. For details please see section 8-4 [Remote Races] in the [Manual] accessible from the main menu, and also the new "Remote Race" page on gran-tursimo.com, under the GT5 product information section.
- Remote Racing from a Web Browser – In [Remote Races], you can visit the official "gran-turismo.com" website using a web browser, and remotely control your PS3® at home. You can start races, monitor its progress and check results from the website. This is a new playing style allowing you to play Gran Turismo anywhere. Sign in from the [GT5 My Home] button on the upper right corner of the website to get started.
- Using the Course Maker in Online Races – You can now use one of the "My Courses" created in [Course Maker] for your online races (in Open Lobby, My Lounge), or select themes and generate courses on the spot. (Please note you'll only be able to use My Courses created after this update).THESIXTHAXIS
- Introduction of Performance Points in Online Races – We've now introduced Performance Points (PP), a numerical index of a car's performance for online races. You can set PP restrictions in the online race regulations (in Open Lobby, My Lounge) to limit participating cars. For details, see 6 -15 [Performance Points] in the [Manual] accessible from the main menu.
- Increased Rewards and Experience Online – The amount of rewards and experience gained from online racing (in Open Lobby, My Lounge) have been increased.
- More Event Settings in Online Races – [Auto Race Start Cycle] and [Tire Wear/Fuel Consumption] have been added to the event settings for online races (in Open Lobby, My Lounge).
- More Penalties for Special Events – Penalties for improper driving such as driving off course and hitting walls have been increased for the [Special Events] under [GT Mode] – [GT Life].
- Event Rewards and Experience Adjusted – The rewards and experience gained in [License] and [Special Events] in [GT Mode] – [GT Life] have been adjusted. Experience for A-Spec and B-Spec events have been increased, while rewards have been reduced back down to levels seen before the 1.05 update.
- Car Loan in Events – In A-Spec, B-Spec and [Special Events] in [GT Mode] – [GT Life], you can now borrow cars that your Friends have set to share with friends. For details see 6-16 [Borrowing and Lending Cars] in the [Manual] accessible from the main menu.
- More Car Settings – Gear ratio adjustment, power limiters, and weight adjustment have been added to the settings. For details see [18. Settings Guide] in the [Manual] accessible from the main menu.
- Multi-Monitor Feature – From [Options] – [Hardware] – [Multi-Monitor], you can now access the multi-monitor display settings using multiple PS3™ systems. You can now enjoy Gran Turismo 5 in a wide display environment combining multiple PS3™ systems and TV's/monitors. For details please see the support section on gran-turismo.com.

Chrome didn't "copy" off of anyone. Since Firefox is open source, the code is out there for anyone to use. They may have used a bit of their code, but really, Firefox is nothing but Netscape returned from the ashes anyway… :)

I would argue that without an internet connection these days, you are almost always playing substandard games. Even the rare gem that is released when it's actually ready so has no game crippling bugs is still designed with online enhancements.

No disrespect intended, but since when is this how reviews worked? A review should be based on how a game is when it was released, not conveniently waiting for the inevitable patch that will come along at some point. The game had flaws when it hit the shelves. It should be scored as such

Couldn't agree more. GT5 should have been given a score regardless. If the game felt unfinished then score it accordingly. If the media, in general, did this then perhaps Polyphony Digital would learn from what's happened this time around and prevent any repeat performances for GT6/7/etc.

Playstation University and maybe a few more sites out there doesn't seem to give scores.. I kinda like that since if a game got a 7.. then some will just ignore it for not being a 8,9 or even 10.

Daughters With Dads In Prison Connect Through Girl Scouts
For a lot of girls, it's kind of a drag to eat lunch with your dad. Especially when you could be outside playing, hanging out with friends or listening to music in your room. You know dad is around if you need him, so when would the simple act of eating a sandwich with him ever be something to celebrate?
For girls with fathers in prison, just being able to smile at your dad is something to celebrate.
It is, however, something most girls with incarcerated fathers don't have the luxury of experiencing on a regular basis. Read more

As with most of LG's LCD offerings, the L206WU comes with its f-ENGINE image processing technology. This is meant to improve contrast, colour vibrancy and black levels, using a combination of signal processing and a dynamic backlight. With the f-ENGINE turned off, greyscales are competent, and I found the Flatron L206WU can produce subtle colour-gradations. Not a monitor you'd want to use for professional photo-editing (you still need a good MVA or preferably IPS panel for this) but perfectly adequate for the average user. As you might expect from a 2ms monitor, games suffer very little smearing or ghosting.
However, without f-ENGINE processing, even normal office use seems to offer a slightly drab experience, lacking some of the punch that has been a staple of TFT monitors. It's not bad per see, merely unremarkable. Meanwhile, watching a movie on the Flatron L206WU in normal mode is a kick in the grey stomach of its claimed 5000:1 contrast ratio.
So why the 8 out of 10 rating for image quality? Simply press the little f-ENGINE button under the bezel, and prepare to be amazed! Andy reviewed a monitor with this technology before, the LG Flatron L227WT-PF, and wasn't too impressed due to the combination of high colour gamut and colour boosting processing creating an overly vibrant, unbalanced image. However, with this iteration, LG seems to have got it pretty much right.
No matter what you're doing, whether work or play, it adds vim, verve, vitality and vigour. While it's not even close to 5000:1, the dynamic backlighting and image processing the f-ENGINE kicks off do lend movies and games a surprising amount of depth. Handily, the Flatron L206WU shows you a split-screen view (one side with f-ENGINE enabled, the other without) while adjusting, so you can see exactly how much damage you're doing.
Except in this case you're more likely to do good. Though it slightly emphasises any noise already present, makes gradations just a tad less smooth and still adds a subtle red tinge to skin tones and artificiality to bright colours, we think the sacrifices are more than worth it. You can switch between 'normal', 'user', 'text', and 'movie' modes, and while the movie setting tends to be a bit overenthusiastic in its processing, 'text' offers a good balance (even for movies). Or you could just adjust it to your personal liking by employing the 'user' mode.
Right now, though admittedly by mere dint of being the only sports car on the block, the Flatron L206WU is the Ferrari of DisplayLink-enabled monitors. Even as a 'normal' monitor this LG would be acceptable value, but until more competition comes along using DisplayLink, it is an absolute steal!
Offering above-average image quality, impressive adjustability and an enjoyable movie and gaming experience, this screen has a lot going for it. And when you throw in the DisplayLink functionality, it's clear why this LG walks away with a Recommended award.
purchased a l206wu 20in monitor arrived today with only mains cable reading your review this doesnt seem correct reading your review contacted lg they couldnt find a contents list so couldnt help seems a bit odd though not being able to connect upon receipt.

Dunga's tactic of getting his players to share rooms has paid off .Brazil won their game against Ecuador extending Dunga's unbeaten streak to five matches.
The Ecuadoreans were reduced to 10 men in the first half when Antonio Valencia was sent off for a reckless challenge on Dudu Caerense.
The coaches had different views on that sending off.
"This match confirms to me that we are heading the right direction," said Dunga "It is often much more difficult to play against 10 than 11."
Ecuador coach Luis Suarez said "We were doing pretty well when we were 11 players, but it is always very complicated to play Brazil and it is a lot more difficult when you are a man down."

The Mapping of Love and Death (Large Print / Paperback)
May 2010 Indie Next List
"To open a new Maisie Dobbs mystery is like checking in with an old friend. In this sixth book, Maisie has been asked to discover what really happened to World War I cartographer Michael, listed as missing in the trenches in France. The closer she gets to answers for Michael's family, the more she must deal with personal issues that will change her life. I can't wait to read the next installment!"
— Sue Richardson, Maine Coast Book Shop, Inc., Damariscotta, ME
In the latest mystery in the New York Times bestselling series, Maisie Dobbs must unravel a case of wartime love and death--an investigation that leads her to a long-hidden affair between a young cartographer and a mysterious nurse.
August 1914. Michael Clifton is mapping the land he has just purchased in California's beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, certain that oil lies beneath its surface. But as the young cartographer prepares to return home to Boston, war is declared in Europe. Michael--the youngest son of an expatriate Englishman--puts duty first and sails for his father's native country to serve in the British army. Three years later, he is listed among those missing in action.
April 1932. London psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs is retained by Michael's parents, who have recently learned that their son's remains have been unearthed in France. They want Maisie to find the unnamed nurse whose love letters were among Michael's belongings--a quest that takes Maisie back to her own bittersweet wartime love. Her inquiries, and the stunning discovery that Michael Clifton was murdered in his trench, unleash a web of intrigue and violence that threatens to engulf the soldier's family and even Maisie herself. Over the course of her investigation, Maisie must cope with the approaching loss of her mentor, Maurice Blanche, and her growing awareness that she is once again falling in love.
Following the critically acclaimed bestseller Among the Mad, The Mapping of Love and Death delivers the most gripping and satisfying chapter yet in the life of Maisie Dobbs.

The use of polymer materials in food packaging field is one of the largest growing market area. Actually the optimization behaviour of packaging permeability is of crucial importance, in order to extend the food shelf-life and to reach the best engineering solution. Studying the permeability characterization of the different polymer material (homogeneous and heterogeneous polymer system) to the different packaging gases, in different environmental condition, is crucial to understand if the selected material is adapted to the chosen food contact field. Temperature and humidity parameters are of crucial importance for food quality preservation, especially in real life situations, like food market, and house long-life use. The aim of this report was to collect information about the state of the art on the permeability characteristics of the polymer packages used on food field.

New Raptors general manager Masai Ujiris second introduction to Toronto will be quite a bit more formal than the first.
The team will officially re-introduce Ujiri to the media and by extension the public Tuesday at 11 a.m.
Initially brought to Toronto in 2007 as the Raptors director of global scouting, its not a stretch to say this welcome to Toronto will be a little more involved.
Ujiri has already been busy in the four days since accepting the job in Toronto, but there remains a lot of work and a number of key decisions to make.
Expect Ujiri to shed some light on that Tuesday but he cant possibly address all of his plans in his first public meeting.
Among those waiting to hear whether they will be remaining on staff is Maurizio Gherardini, the Raptors vice president of international scouting.
Reports out of Europe have suggested Gherardini was already angling for some job vacancies back there but in an e-mail exchange Monday, Gherardini said the reports were just gossip.
His position in Toronto with the Raptors remains his priority and hes waiting to hear whether he remains in the teams plans.

Not really an iPad issue but I am disappointed in the selection of movies available for streaming. I signed up for netflix just to stream movies and tv shows on my iPad, but I find mostly older movies and tv shows. Is anyone else disappointed in the selection?
I was sort of disappointed at first, but then realized there was a great selection of indie and old movies available. I wish there were more selections available, but $9 a month is pretty cheap. Let's hope it continues to improve though.
Yeah, I looked into getting it on my PS3 about 6 months ago. Looked at the movie selection, mostly old stuff and obscure movies. I want new movies.
I can't say that I expect NEW movies to be streamable - I'm sure there must be some licensing issues where only PPV is allowed to show movies soon after their theatrical runs. I'm still a bit disappointed that a LOT of older movies aren't streamable either. I thought for $9, I would be able to watch tons of stuff. I hope they're adding more every day…
I agree with Superbike81 I'd like to see "new DVD release" movies available (or even relatively new to DVD). If I have get a DVD to see the newer stuff, it kind of negates using the iPad, besides then I'd rather just rent from Redbox
There is a New Release section in the streaming category and they do have movies that just came out on DVD there - not the "blockbusters" like Avatar, and for good reason... If they had those available, the servers and bandwidth required to suppoort the people that would want to stream it would be impossible to account for - they would have to setup scheduled timeslots for people to watch it just to make sure they could keep up with the demand. I have Netflix streaming on the PS3, and my newer TV actually has an IP connection in with with a NetFlix app which is nice. I'm fairly happy with it - you just have to have the right expectations...
Well they do have a New Release section but they do not have very many movies that "just came out on DVD" Take a look at the DVD section and then the streaming section and you will see what I mean. Maybe my expectations are too high, but Netflix doesn't meet them so i'll probably be cancelling
PHP: For the about .30 a day I'm very happy with what is available in bluray, DVD, and streaming. No complaints.
I canceled mine, for me, nothing interested me. Also when I did watch something, it stopped often to catch up with the download. Four hours watching palam 123 and the volume was too low to easily hear it. You tube is free.
Youtube movies are not free. Sure, they may have some free ones, but many cost. Just thought I would clear that up.

NASA Backs Off From Additional Planetary Cuts in 2013
Operating plan provides $1.271 billion
Posted by Casey Dreier
Topics: Space Policy, FY2014 NASA Budget, Explaining Policy
NASA will spend $1.271 billion on planetary exploration this year, significantly less than what Congress appropriated but $75 million more than initially proposed.
This number is from the final version of NASA's operating plan, the agency's internal implementation of the budget given to it by Congress. The across-the-board cuts known as the sequester drove NASA to propose spending a mere $1.196B on Planetary Science this year, essentially ignoring the fact that Congress had stepped in to provide additional funding for the program.
Fortunately, Congress rejected NASA's first operating plan (partly in thanks to the one thousand messages sent by supporters of the Planetary Society). The final number is still less than an even application of the sequester cut, but it's far better than the alternative.
This brings to a close the long, frustrating saga of the 2013 budget. My blogging colleague here at the Society, Van Kane, has good analysis of the consequences of this budget uncertainty, both imediate and long-term.
Even though NASA relented a bit and provided $75 million more than originally proposed, the Planetary Science Division still sees a cut of $229 million from last year. Fortunately, we have strong advocates in Congress, and though the White House again requested sharp cuts to the program for 2014, we're working towards reversing those as well.
Overall this is good-but-not-great news. We now know that the highest levels of NASA do not particularly value planetary exploration. Congress does have relatively strong support, but larger partisan issues have overturned the normal flow of the budgeting process, resulting in extended periods without Congressional guidance, leaving internal budgets under the direction of White House and NASA policy, which does not help us.
We hope that NASA and the White House gets the hint about providing additional resources to the popular and productive planetary program. We'll keep following this closely, but from now on we're looking to the future.

The Florida Debut of MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition is Now Open
February 14, 2014 --
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) February 14, 2014
The Discovery Channels Emmy®-nominated series comes to life to uncover truths behind popular myths by mixing scientific method with gleeful curiosity and old-fashioned ingenuity in MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition, now open at the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) in Tampa. Visit mosi.org for tickets.
The exhibition creates hands-on, interactive experiences for guests of all ages by combining popular scientific facts with innovative, family-friendly displays. In MythBusters, co-hosts Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara take scientific investigation to exciting new levels by proving or exploding myths using their highly experimental approach and extensive backgrounds in special effects. Savage and Hyneman were heavily involved throughout the development of the exhibition to ensure guests experience a true MythBusting encounter.
"It's exciting to see fans take on some of our favorite experiments from the show while drawing their own conclusions and data," said Savage. "Although they are tackling the same myths and questions, each guest can have a unique experience within the exhibit."
"We hope people have fun at the exhibit and get a sense of what it is like doing the show," added Hyneman.
MOSIs guests will learn about myths, the MythBusters and what experimenting is all about by participating in a series of fun, hands-on experiences and live demonstrations. Experiments cover topics such as flight, friction, gravity, speed and combustion.
The exhibition showcases:
- Blueprint Room Based on the real-life operations room of the MythBusters iconic set, this room acts as an introduction to MythBusting and is filled with gadgets, props, video and, of course, blueprints used by the hosts to explore myths on the show.
- Workshop This is the place where guests turn into investigators and use real science to test myths. Guests discover whether they get more wet running versus walking in the rain and find out if toast really does always land buttered-side down.
- Live MythBusters Demonstration Stage Here guests have the opportunity to view and participate in live science demonstrations that dissect myths with the help of a team of energetic MythBusting facilitators.
The Mythbusters exhibition exemplifies the message that MOSI has been saying all along learning and fun should mean the same thing, said Wit Ostrenko, president of MOSI. We are excited about the variety of ways this exhibition will encourage people of all ages to be more interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
Tickets for MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition are now available. The exhibition is in Tampa making its southeastern debut, but will leave Tampa forever on Thursday, May 8, 2014. Museum hours are Monday Friday, 9 a.m. 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale now, and reservations are highly recommended. Tickets can be purchased by calling 813-987-6000 or visiting mosi.org.
Tickets for MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition are $24.95 for adults, $21.95 for seniors (60+) and $19.95 for children (2-12) and include admission to either MOSIs permanent exhibits OR a documentary IMAX film. MOSI member tickets to MythBusters are $11.95 for adults and $9.95 for children (2-12).
For more information, visit mosi.org.
The exhibition tour will visit 15 cities total within the U.S. and Canada. For more information on MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition, visit MythBustersTheExhibition.com.
MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition was created by Discovery Communications and Exhibits Development Group (EDG), in partnership with the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI) and Geoffrey M. Curley + Associates (GMC+A). MythBusters, the series, is developed and produced by Beyond Entertainment Limited.

Criminology: An Interdisciplinary Journal is an official publication of the American Society of Criminology. The journal is interdisciplinary in nature, devoted to crime and deviant behavior, as found in sociology, psychology, design, systems analysis, and decision theory as applied to crime and criminal justice. The major emphasis is on empirical research and scientific methodology, and article reporting on the original research are given priority. Articles which review the literature or deal with theoretical issues stated in the literature are also dealt with and suggest the types of investigation which might properly be carried out in the future. Criminology is published four times annually -- February, May, August, and November. Submissions to the journal should be sent directly to the Editor via the on-line submission process (see link below). The most recent journal rankings from the Institute for Scientific Information identifies Criminology as the leading professional journal in the field of criminology (first out of 27), sixth of 96 in the field of sociology, and 29th of 101 in the field of law.

Criminology & Public Policy, an official publication of the American Society of Criminology, is a peer-review journal devoted to the study of criminal justice policy and practice. The central objective of the journal is to strengthen the role of research findings in the formulation of crime and justice policy through publishing empirically based, policy-focused articles. Authors are encouraged to submit papers that contribute to a more informed dialogue about policies and their empirical bases. Papers suitable for CPP not only present their findings but also explore the policy-relevant implications of those findings. Appropriate papers (1) empirically evaluate criminal justice policy or practice, (2) provide scientific support for new policies or practices, or (3) review existing research from a policy framework. CPP welcomes papers that address international criminal justice policy issues. All articles published in CPP are followed by one or more 'policy essays' in which subject matter experts further discuss the policy issues raised in the empirical paper. Policy essays are invited essays that appear in the journal immediately following the lead article on which they are based. An electronic copy of the manuscript should be emailed as an attachment to email@example.com. You will receive an emailed acknowledgment of receipt for the submission.
The Criminologist is an official publication of the American Society of Criminology. The newsletter is designed to provide members with information on societal activities, news concerning criminal justice events, and appropriate news related to the members themselves. See our advertising rates to print position announcements, full or half pages ads, and more. For advertising questions, please send an email to email@example.com. The Criminologist is published six times annually (approx. dates) -- January 20, March 20, May 20, July 20, September 20, and November 20. Deadlines for the The Criminologist are as follows: December 15 (January/February); February 15 (March/April); April 15 (May/June), June 15 (July/August), August 15 (September/October), and October 15 (November/December). Non-Member subscriptions are available for $50.00 per year within the United States and $60.00 per year outside the United States. Single issues may be purchased for $10.00 per copy. Members, universities, and criminal justice agencies are invited to submit dates of events, and appropriate announcements to the ASC Executive Office for inclusion in The Criminologist.

Suck: The Movie
- Publisher: Monarch Convergence Group, Inc
- Genre: Entertainment
- Released: 1 Oct, 2010
- Size: 107.8 MB
- Price: FREE!
- App Store Info
The SUCK StoryA rock'n'roll vampire spoof about a down and out band, The Winners, who will do anything for a record deal. When their disgruntled manager (Dave Foley) tells them that they are getting "long in the tooth", he doesn't know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, their humdrum image radically changes when Jennifer (Jessica Paré), the bass player, disappears one night with a hip vampire (Dimitri Coats). She emerges with a sexually charged charisma that drives the audiences wild.
As the band members succumb, one by one, to blood lust, their "gimmick" launches them into the limelight. Following an "incident" on a national radio show with "Rock'n Roger" (Henry Rollins), they hit mega-stardom beyond their wildest dreams. Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), the lead singer, is haunted by an eerie bartender (Alice Cooper), who turns out to be much more. Meanwhile, legendary vampire hunter, Eddie Van Helsig (Malcolm McDowell), is tracking them down, despite his fear of the dark. When a veteran music producer (Iggy Pop) calls them on becoming a vampire freak show, they begin to realize that fame is not what it's cracked up to be.
Suck is a wild ride down a highway to hell, with a killer soundtrack that includes Iggy Pop's, "TVeye" and "Success"; Alice Cooper's, "I am a Spider"; Lou Reed's Velvet Underground's "Sweet Nuthin"; David Bowie's, "Here Comes the Night" and The Rolling Stones, "Sympathy for the Devil".

"Like any self-respecting French cat, Minette wouldn't dream of eating food out of a can."
Luckily for Minette, she had Julia Child to cook for her. Even so, Child had to practice and improve her cooking to satisfy the discriminating taste buds of Minette. Lessons with Chef Bugnard at Le Cordon Bleu were essential. After months of study and testing, Child finally cooked a dish that was perfect for le poussiequette. "Ooh-la-la! Magnifique!"
With lovely illustrations by Amy Bates, Susanna Reich tells the story of a French cat wanting only the best and an American woman wanting to be a French chef in Minette's Feast: The Delicious Story of Julia Child and Her Cat. Of course, most children will not realize that Child was a famous author and television celebrity, but I imagine a few will be delighted years from now when they make the link. In the meantime, young readers can enjoy a sweet story about a demanding cat served by a faithful human.

Kenmore front loader won't spin
Model Number: 417.29052991 Brand: Kenmore Age: 5 - 10 years
My washer will not spin at all. It worked fine on one load & then the next load no spin at all. I went through the diagnostic procedure in the paperwork that came with the washer & concluded the motor thermal cutout was not working (no voltage at pins 2 & 4 in the four pin connector). Since the thermal cut out is inside the motor, I removed the motor to check it. The cutout checked out fine, but I noticed that one brush was completely worn out. Since two new brushes cost almost the same as a new motor, I just bought a new motor. I installed it & it still wont spin. Why would there be no voltage between pins 2 & 4 if the cutout was OK? By the way, the diagnostic procedure doesnt say a word about whether to check the voltage at the connector or at the block it plugs in to. No matter, there was no voltage at either place. So, I have 110V at the wall, 110V into the washer & no voltage at pins 2 & 4. What should I check next? By the way, it looks like the Frigidaire service tips website Electrolux Major Appliances Service Website is not available anymore? Clicking on it takes me to a Login screen that I obviously dont have a login for. Is the service manual available anywhere else? Related Models |

Here is a link to a service manual for your model. Use the troubleshooting diagrams and be sure and check the speed/motor control board and the door lock assembly. Those are the two weak points on this model, and one of them is a likely source of your problem.

Well, laundry is again getting washed in my house.
Thanks for the reply, Sid, the link to the service manual was the key. I studied the troubleshooting pages & realized one small detail that made all the difference. Previously, from reading the owner's manual, I thought the drum was supposed to turn a bit when the washer was first started & was filling with water, so after replacing the motor I just started the washer up to see if it would turn. I didn't realize that the drum wouldn't turn until after it was finished filling. So, I tried it again & this time I just let it fill all the way & then waited to see if it would turn. This time it worked, of course. So it was the motor & its worn out brushes that were the problem after all. Thanks again - |

The Shoe Closet
Late last year, one of my dreams came true when Joey built me a shoe closet. It's one of my favorite parts of the house now and here's how it came to be:
Like most older homes, Wolfgang Manor has some major quirks. There are four full-sized doors just in our small-ish bedroom alone. FOUR! When we moved in, two of those doors led to attic spaces, bare rafters and all. Joey transformed the larger of the two into an all-white art studio last year but that still left another free. I'd been wanting a designated place to store all my shoes because I ain't gonna lie, I have a lot of them. They'd slowly started taking over my home office, filling up a book shelf and creeping across the floor. In my world, a cluttered space equals a cluttered mind and the shoes needed a new home.
The soon-to-be shoe closet was a dead space with exposed rafters, doing nothing but storing a pile of miscellaneous clutter. I wish we had some good 'before' photos because it was really dark and creepy. Since it was upstairs, it peaked with the angles of the roof and was an odd shape. Joey had to first frame and drywall the space, then tape, spackle and sand, then prime and paint. Once the space was complete, we found these great ornate, oversized brackets at Home Depot along with a slab of pine that Joey cut for the shelf and painted white.
All in all, the transformation cost only $150.00 at most from beginning to end, mostly because the labor was free (thanks, Joey!) and we had the flooring left over from his studio remodel. The back wall was wallpapered with a scrap of Cole & Son Woods, which we had left from our dining room.
Shoes have always been my 'thing.' I'm big on only collecting objects that I can use all the time. When I was really young, my mom had stilettos in every color of the rainbow (this was the mid-80s) and she'd pay me a few dollars every once in awhile to arrange them in her closet. I think even back then, I was doing it by color. As I got older, my first few retail jobs in college were at shoe stores. I guess I've always viewed footwear differently than most people. Shoes to me are like wearable art. What can I say? I love shoes.
The Week In Pictures: 1.27.12
I'm still focusing on the little details that make my surroundings feel like home. Fresh flowers always seem to do the trick.
I've never been much of a tea drinker but Steven Smith has started to change all that. Besides producing the best tea I've ever tasted, the packaging is pretty much perfect, from the logo to the subtle patterns to the type treatments. Love it so much.
I just picked up some mini letterpess valentines by Egg Press. Cute, huh? If you're in town, you can find packages of four at Schoolhouse Electric.
Speaking of Schoolhouse Electric, I took my dad by their new showroom & store last weekend and had a great time admiring their displays as usual. So cozy!
Always judge a lobby by their selection of books and magazines. This one gets an A+.
If you were one of the 50 people who sent me your address during the art flyer giveaway last month, all packages have been mailed! Thanks to everyone who has sent me an Instagram photo of your goodies!
Last night I joined Auntie Nubs for dinner at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant,Pho Van which of course ended with us laughing so hard we were nearly crying…because of this sign. Hot For Cookie?! I tried to do my own David Lee Roth move, lost my balance and fell backwards into the window. I'll do anything for a photo-op! Have a fantastic weekend and I'll see you back here on Monday for a very special shoe closet reveal. 😉

The Typofiles #95: Monster Children Magazine
While I was in Phoenix a few weeks ago, I made a stop at Barnes & Noble for some much needed editorial inspiration to fuel a few upcoming print projects. While perusing the magazine racks, I came across Monster Children, a beautifully designed Australian title with an emphasis on skateboarding, photography, surfing and music.
Though my lifestyle doesn't necessarily align with the Monster Children demographic, the use of negative space on the cover immediately caught my attention. As I flipped through the issue, I was equally wowed by the sparse yet creative page layouts. The editorial design was so beautiful that I felt like I was flipping through a book.
As budgets for many periodicals continually shrink, a lot of magazines these days don't put the effort into composing creative layouts like they used to but Monster Children is a huge exception. Even the page numbers look great! If you get a chance, pick up this magazine. After all, beauty is often in the details.
Lookin' Good: iPhone 4 Pantone Case
For an aesthetics junkie like me, I knew that when I upgraded to the iPhone 4 last month, only one particular case would do. If you're a color lover that's in the market for a super basic case that doesn't bulk up your phone, this may be the answer. And in case you're wondering, the allure of constantly pulling a giant Pantone swatch out of my purse still hasn't gotten old!
The Week In Pictures: 1.21.12
I've been hard at work on issue 2 of Rock n Roll Bride magazine and it just keeps getting better and better.
My most-worn shoes of the week were definitely these Y-3 wedges. I am so happy that the sneaker wedge trend is blowing up right now because they're the right balance of fashionable and practical. Or, at least they are in my world!
I love this type treatment.
In my opinion, this is the best still-life ever.
Isn't this branding great?
George Lois is one of my advertising heroes; his cover concepts for Esquire were so far ahead of their time.
Warning: if you leave a random bucket of bouncing balls sitting around, there's gonna be a war! I was throwing these things everywhere and I have terrible aim. I'm shocked I didn't take someone's eye out!
Have a fantastic weekend and I'll see you back here on Monday. Also, thanks so much for all your inspiring, heartfelt comments on the Doing What You Love in 2012 post!

Thanks to some awesome work from my partner in crime at Cricketsoft, Tom Allen, our co-developed app, FotoMovr is featured in the Windows Phone Marketplace today. Both on the phone, the Marketplace website, and in the Zune client. Here's some evidence:
That's me holding up my phone, and in the background the emulator running the app. Incidentally, this picture was taken at the Silicon Valley Windows Phone Meetup, where Tom and I gave a short talk this evening about the app and the support we've received from Microsoft while developing it.
The Marketplace section of windowsphone.com.
And that's the Zune Apps Marketplace page, which I gather has just been disabled, so I was really lucky to get this screenshot at the last minute.
Fun stuff! Please check out the app, and also my other two apps, "Open " and "Countdown", which I see just got a five star rating from a kind soul for the latest version. My friend Tom has another app in the Marketplace as well, called "Good Morning" aka. "GMSV EzReader". A great little app that makes reading the Good Morning Silicon Valley blog from the San Jose Mercury News really nice on Windows Phone.

Cambodia monarch's body returns to sea of mourners |
By Suy Se ,AFP Thursday, October 18, 2012, 12:06 am TWN |
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- Tens of thousands of mourners lined the streets of the Cambodian capital on Wednesday to pay their last respects to revered former King Norodom Sihanouk on his final journey home.
The body of the mercurial ex-monarch, who steered his country through turbulent decades of war, genocide and finally peace, returned on a special flight from Beijing, where he died of a heart attack on Monday aged 89. Draped with flowers and a royal blue flag, his coffin was borne through the streets of Phnom Penh on a golden float shaped like a mythological bird with robed monks seated in front and behind. Sihanouk's widow Queen Monique, son King Norodom Sihamoni and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen accompanied the casket in a slow-moving convoy. Cambodians of all ages — wearing white shirts and black ribbons — clasped their hands together in prayer as the procession passed. Many wept at the sight of Sihanouk's coffin passing en route to the royal palace. "It's a sad day for the Cambodian people. The King-Father loved his children very much," said Theng Nary, 67, tears rolling down her cheeks. The government estimated that more than 100,000 people turned out to witness the homecoming of the charismatic former monarch, who remained popular even after standing down in favor of his son in 2004 citing old age and ill health. His body will lie in state at the palace for three months before an elaborate funeral for the towering political figure, who abdicated twice, served variously as premier and head of state and spent years in exile. The homecoming marked the start of a week-long mourning period during which the government has ordered radio and television stations not to broadcast joyful programs. It has also cancelled the festivities for next month's Water Festival, an annual celebration that usually draws millions of visitors to the capital to enjoy dragon boat races, fireworks and concerts. Mourners have flocked to the palace in recent days to pay tribute to Sihanouk with lotus flowers, candles and incense sticks, many of them sobbing as they knelt in prayer. "His death is a great loss for Cambodia," said 66-year-old Thong Bunsy, who described the former monarch as "a hero" who protected Cambodian territory and "chased the French away."

Line Brawl Erupts During WHL Game (Video)
Try parkour, they said… (GIF)
Someone must have told this guy to give parkour a try. In hindsight, he probably shouldn't have taken that advice. Unfortunately for him, he did, and the end result was not a pretty one.
Sure, chicks may dig scars, but not when they come via an embarrassing faceplant at the local park. Better luck next time buddy.

Do this installation process on a Thursday, which is the most auspicious day to gain the blessings of Ganesha.
Then chant the Navagraha Mantra which has been given – Here 108 times. Continue this Sadhana till the next Thursday and then wear the Yantra around your neck. The Puja has to be done after having a bath and wearing fresh and clean clothes.
If you are woman and wish to perform this Sadhana, time it so that it is not interrupted by your monthly cycle.

NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods.
Now Foods EpiCor Plus Immunity 60 Vcaps In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products.
History of NOW In 1968, NOW Foods was founded under the belief that good health was not a luxury available only to the wealthy. For the past forty years, NOW has made it their life's work to offer health food and nutritional supplements of the highest quality, at prices that are fair and affordable to all those who seek them. Today, NOW Foods is one of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development. And while NOW has grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed – NOW's commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.
NOW Commitments
Customer Focused and Information Driven - NOW believes that their products, services, and the decisions they make should be primarily influenced by the desires and needs of NOW customers. The decisions that NOW makes should be based on accurate information and therefore NOW places a high value on knowledge and learning within their organization. Quality and Value Oriented - Acting in the best interest of NOW customers, NOW endeavors to produce the highest quality products at competitive prices. NOW's first priority is to maintain quality where it counts the most – in the products. NOW's exceptional cost-conscious team of employees then focuses their energies on driving costs down. Nurturing this competency of value drives NOW's ability to provide high quality products at the very best prices. Natural is Better - NOW is convinced that natural products are better than their synthetic counterparts and produce better results in human health. Therefore, wherever possible, NOW strives to provide products that contain natural ingredients because they are better for their customers. NOW Science NOW's experienced professional and technical staff formulates their products to be of the highest quality. NOW has a group of biochemists, chemists, nutritionists, and food technologists who review current science and nutritional parameters, and formulate our products to be effective for the intended use. NOW's structure/function claims are based on science for active ingredients, and on nutritional science for nutritional content. Serving sizes are based on doses from clinical studies and other published data. NOW's contemporary formulas are designed to meet the health and wellness needs of today. Best science is used to support best formulations which lead to best quality. NOW products are constantly being tested in clinical trials conducted at top universities and research centers around the country and in various parts of the world. NOW products are being tested to determine such things as effectiveness for joint support, quality of life for cancer patients, cardiovascular support, and athletic endurance. Effective products mean health and wellness benefits, which mean quality.

Nowadays, almost everyone is aware of just how important a credit score is. This is why more and more people are making sure to check their scores with the aim of improving it in preparation for a loan. Unfortunately, most people are detracted by the fact that most credit bureaus demand payment for it. As a result, there is an endless supply of debtors who are looking for ways to check their credit ranking for free. This is where Credit Karma free score review comes in, a site which provides accurate results without spending a single cent.
Credit Karma
The site has become popular over the years not only because it provides what people want for absolutely nothing, but also because of the speed and accuracy of the results. Credit Karma gets its data from three reliable credit bureaus for added accuracy. At the same time, the website itself is well made and is very easy to use. In fact, some Credit Karma free review rates it as one of the best sites to get credit ratings for absolutely nothing. The site runs with the help of advertisements, making the "no hidden charges" deal possible. Credit Karma also offers a "no credit card" service, allowing users to check their score without actually giving away credit card number information. Additionally, the scores are automatically compared or ranked in a larger scale, giving users the idea of how their ratings measure up with others.
In some of the Credit Karma free review, users have complained that the site cannot find their credit history. The fact that Credit Karma also doesn't use the FICO scoring system is a big disadvantage for most users. This is because most lending institutions utilize FICO to assess credit scores. As mentioned above, the service does not require a credit card to work. However, personal information is still required by the system for verification purposes as well as checking credit history against bureaus.
Getting a Good Credit Score
One great thing about Credit Karma is its credit score simulator. As most people know, there are certain factors that are used by creditors to determine how a person rates. With the use of the simulator, a user can change different variables and watch how these affect their credit score. Ultimately, the simulator allows debtors to see exactly how their different financial decisions would affect their score in the future.
Importance of Credit Scores
Although the Credit Karma free credit score review does not provide a perfect simulation of one's credit ranking, it is a good way to get a glimpse of one's financial situation. Contrary to what most people think, a bad credit score doesn't prevent one from getting a loan. The problem is that the loan would be riddled with large interest rates to the point that it would be unreasonable. On the other hand, by getting and maintaining a good credit score, debtors have better chances of getting lower interest rates on their loans, thereby saving money in the long run.

The leather on the headphones is in excellent condition and looks great. The plastic housing has a few very small nicks. There are some light scratches on the little aluminum name plates on the headband. The leather ear pad covers are a little stretched out where the two pads press against each other when not being worn. There are no effects in terms of comfort or fit. They operate perfectly and sound incredible- a truly special pair of headphones. I only have the headphones as that is all I got when I purchased them used; no docs, case, or pouch. Serial number T244/500.

NEW YORK, Tuesday—Senator Robert A. Taft's pronouncements strike me as a trifle arbitrary these days. He seems to forget that the United States' troops in Korea are a part of the United Nations' forces and he seems to go on the assumption that Formosa and Japan are part of the United States.
As a matter of fact, someday we must make a treaty of peace with Japan, and Japan must be a free nation again. Someday China, when its Internal wars come to an end, will be a united nation, and then Formosa will belong to China.
As I read the newspaper account that the Senator warned "that if Russia attacked Western Europe, 'it means war,'" I marvelled that he felt it necessary to tell us any such thing.
Does he really think that anyone in the United States is so oblivious to what happens in the world he does not know that if Russia attacks Western Europe, it means war?
Does he think that the people of our country pay so little attention to what our Congress does that they have already forgotten that Congress ratified a North Atlantic pact and that that treaty obligates all nations that ratified it to come to each other's aid in case of attack?
The people of the United States are not unmindful of the obligations they assume through their Congress. But I think they feel, as does the present Administration, that in every honorable way we want to prove we want peace and not war, and that if war comes it must come because of the action of others, which we cannot prevent.
The tone of Senator Taft's speeches seems to me to undermine the courage of our people. It is subtly a defeatist's way of approaching and handling the problem before us. I believe in telling our people everything that can be told without giving away, either through our Congress or through our press stories, facts that our enemies would be glad to spend a long time in ferreting out. We should guard these facts carefully. That does not mean that our people cannot know the truth in its broad outlines. In the specific case of Korea there are certain things we have to face.
Until the United Nations has within itself more power than any single aggressor nation or group of aggressor nations, it seems impossible with voluntary aid to have enough force to withstand those overwhelming numbers who serve a Communist force in Korea. This will not last forever.
I was glad too, to see that our President had said that as yet there was no intention of the United States bombing China. That would have been an act of war and we are not anxious to provoke war with our erstwhile friends, the people of China. I do not think the U.N. wishes to engage in war with China, but neither do I think that the free peoples of the U.N. wish to recognize as a partner an aggressor nation. There are ways, however, short of war, that can be used to make a nation understand that the conscience of the world is opposed to its behavior.
I still think there is much that could be explored by the group of nations within the U.N. that has been trying to bring about a "cease fire," and I hope they will not abandon their efforts.

How to assess exposure of aquatic organisms to manufactured nanoparticles?
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
Ecological risk of chemicals is measured by the quotient of predicted no-effect concentrations and predicted exposure concentrations, which are hard to assess for manufactured nanomaterials (NMs). This paper proposes modifications to currently used models, in order to make them suitable for estimating exposure concentrations of NMs in the aquatic environment. We have evaluated the adequacy of the current guidance documents for use with NMs and conclude that nano-specific fate processes, such as sedimentation and dissolution need to be incorporated. We have reviewed the literature on sedimentation and dissolution of NMs in environmentally relevant systems. We deduce that the overall kinetics of water–sediment transport of NMs should be close to first order. The lack of data on dissolution of NMs under environmentally realistic conditions calls for a pragmatic decision on which rates to be used in modeling. We find that first order removal kinetics for dissolution seems adequate. Based on limited data from literature, probable removal rates range from 0 to 10−4s−1 for sedimentation, and from 0 to 10−5s−1 for dissolution. Further experimental data at environmentally relevant conditions for sedimentation and dissolution of NMs is needed.
