In 1688 many craftsmen became involved in the development of a new, expanded and improved Line of Kings display. The centrepiece of this new exhibition was to be a line of life-sized wooden horses, each bearing the armoured figure of a king. It was decided to buy a complete new set of carved horses and figures with kings' faces, with the exception of the carvings made by Grinling Gibbons in 1685-86. To complete the task, the Board of Ordnance turned to a variety of artists and craftsmen, including Thomas Quellin.
Gibbons had supplied a horse and figure of Charles II in 1685 and one of Charles I in 1686 at a price of £40 each. However, in 1688 the Board did not turn to Gibbons, the leading woodcarver in England, but instead issued contracts for varying numbers of wooden horses and figures with kings' faces to Quellin and four others: William Emmett, William Morgan, John Nost I and Marmaduke Townson. Between them these five carvers and sculptors made seventeen wooden horses and figures for the Line: several of the heads with faces survive and about half of the horses.
Thomas Quellin(us) was a sculptor who supplied only one horse and figure for the Line. His limited involvement in the project was probably the result of his departure from England in 1689 to settle in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he had a long and successful career as a sculptor. He and his studio produced numerous baroque monuments in marble and stone for churches in Northern Germany and Denmark.
However, before his visit to London ended Office of Ordnance documents recorded:
'10th December 1688
Received into his Majesty's stores of Armoury & c from Thomas Quillans the statues hereafter mentioned per warrant the 10th July 1688 viz:
Horse statue of wood carved 1 att £20-00s-00d
Statue of wood whereon a face is carved'
It is unlikely that the horse or carved head made by Thomas Quellin will be identified. Later works by Thomas are very different in both subject matter and materials. Indeed, given the fact that about half the horses made in 1688-90 have not survived, it is as likely as not that his horse is one of those that has been destroyed.
Thomas Quellin's brief involvement with the project was the result of a series of interconnections between his family, several of whom were distinguished draughtsmen and sculptors, and the other craftsmen involved in making the wooden horses and royal figures.
Thomas (1661-1709) was a son and pupil of Artus Quellin the Younger (1625-1700), a member of a dynasty of sculptors originating mainly from Antwerp. After completing his apprenticeship in the low Countries, Thomas moved to London where his older brother had a sculptor's business. His brother was known in England as Arnold Quellin (1653-1686), although his name was really the same as his father – Artus.
Arnold Quellin had worked on the decorations at Windsor Castle from 1678, alongside Grinling Gibbons with whom he went into partnership from 1681. Their partnership was problematic but by 1685-6 Gibbons and Arnold Quellin were collaborating again. This time they worked on the decorative scheme for the new Catholic Chapel Royal at Whitehall Palace – at exactly the time Gibbons' workshop was making two wooden horses and figures for the Tower.
Arnold Quellin's studio was also heavily involved in the design and manufacture of sculptures of kings for the new Royal Exchange, as well as sculptures of the Stuart kings and the Earl of Strathmore for Glamis Castle . With so many important commissions, it is easy to see why it might have appeared a good idea for the young Thomas to join his brother's workshop in London at this time. However, another possibility is that Thomas came to London in the summer of 1686, when Arnold fell ill and soon died, leaving a busy studio without its head.
Little is known of Thomas' work in London except the wooden horse and figure for the Tower of London, for which he received £20. He may have found that he was not needed at his late brother's workshop, which was quickly taken over by John Nost I, the foreman, who married Arnold's widow Frances – who had inherited the business.
Thomas is known to have arrived in Copenhagen by the summer of 1689, where he helped manage his father's studio as well as developing a business of his own creating funerary monuments. He eventually returned to Antwerp where he died and was buried in 1709.

White House tries erasing ACORN ties to Big Labor
posted at 11:36 am on September 24, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Why did Labor Secretary Hilda Solis move quickly to change disclosure requirements for unions and their political activities? Don Loos at Big Government connects the dots and discovers the Obama administration's attempts to get their allies in Big Labor out of the line of ACORN fire. For instance, the education unions NEA and AFT both gave big money to the very office in New York City that offered free advice on hiding child prostitution and tax evasion:
Even before U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis was sworn in, Big Labor insiders like AFL-CIO lawyer and Obama appointee Deborah Greenfield were busily dismantling useful union financial disclosures produced by former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao. It's another Big Government – Big Labor partnership aimed at keeping individual workers, whom they claim to represent, in the dark.
Why the hurry? Perhaps Union Bosses wanted to prevent the Virginia GOP and inquisitive people like Patrick Semmens from visiting DOL's UnionReports.gov website that clearly reveals the Big Labor-ACORN collusion. Semmens discovered that teachers' union bosses gave about $500,000 to the same Brooklyn ACORN office exposed on BigGovernment.com. Both the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) awarded ACORN service contracts.
That's right; union bosses gave teachers' forced union dues to the same ACORN that appeared to have no problem facilitating child prostitution. No wonder Solis' Big Labor friends want to shutdown financial disclosure!
Before 2008, unions could hide these connections in murky financial records that even their own members could not access. Towards the end of the Bush administraton, Chao promulgated new transparency requirements that forced unions to divulge their political activities. Loos provides graphic evidence for the massive improvement in transparency between the status quo and the status quo ante.
Barack Obama ran for office on a promise of increased transparency. Instead, he has had his Labor Depatrtment move in the exact opposite direction to provide political cover for unions and their ties to political organizing groups like ACORN — groups that also work to elect Democrats. We should demand that Solis stop dismantling these transparency regulations and for Obama to fulfill this campaign promise. Be sure to read it all.

text: I know I am very late to the "Sex and the City" scene, but since re-runs (including marathons ) of the series are on TV all the time, I figure there must be folks like me who are now just seeing this show for the first time, or who are very interested in watching re-runs. I had always had the impression that the women on this show were so indepenedent and that they were models of women who got it all -careers, great friends, and ultimately, great long-term relationships with men. So I was quite surprised to see that the 3 women who got married ended up with men who didn't seem so great: Harry: Althuogh he seems like a very nice guy at times, his treatment of the conversion was terrible from start to finish: waiting until after he and Charlotte were involved to tell her he'd never marry a non-Jew, his inability to verbalize a single thing about the faith itself that he felt was so important for her to share, and the extraordinarily ignorant way he treated her at their first Sabbath after she had gone through intense study to convert and a week's work to prepare their first Sabbath meal. Sure, Charlotte said some mean things to him that night, but this was after he had been so rude to her. Steve: In some ways, he's nice, too, but I don't hink he contributed a single thing to their relationship until they were married. He moved into her apartment, where she did all the housework. He refused to turn his cartoons down when she was trying to work at home; it was his idea for them to get a dog and Miranda got stuck caring for it. He never dressed up for dressy events. Heck, he didn't even engage in proper hygiene, which Miranda learned after washing his whites. Not to mention the affair. Interesting, that for all their men's shortcomings. Miranda and Charlotte each took full blame for the breakups with Steve and Harry prior to their ultimate marriages. John (Big) - His emotional distance and his repeated "pull Carrie in then push her away" tactics lasted all the way from the 1st season to the 2nd movie. BTW, Samantha and Smith was my favorite relationship of all. I just loved how deep he turned out to be, and how their relationship that started out so frivolous grew into meaningful love. The other 3 men could take notes from young Smith about how to be a loving, kind, thoughtful companion. Any thougts?

Movie Review: The Conjuring

Don't let anyone spoil The Conjuring, a thriller in the tradition of Poltergeist and The Exorcist, for you.

Director: James Wan
Rating: R
Studio: New Line Cinema / The Safran Company
Stars: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Lili Taylor
Unless you catch the new haunted house thriller The Conjuring fast, some well-meaning people and more than a few jerks will probably overhype and try to spoil it for you. Don't let them. Written by Chad and Carey Hayes and directed by James Wan (Insidious), the film recounts the story of controversial real-life paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren (played in the film by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson), forced into a hair-raising battle royal with a supernatural entity terrorizing the nice, normal-seeing Perron family in their handsome Rhode Island farmhouse (Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor and five convincingly spooked-looking actresses playing their daughters).
Set in the early '70s, this is a movie filled with menacing shadows, odd sounds, unexplained bodily bruises and things that regularly go bump in the night—and then some. Very little of what goes on will be surprising to fans of ectoplasmic classics like, say, the '60s version of The Haunting or the '80s Poltergeist, let alone The Exorcist. But the thrills and jolts are handled in The Conjuring with style and know-how, the unsettling atmosphere is beautifully put over by cinematographer John R. Leonetti and all the performances, especially Farmiga's and Taylor's, are right on the money.
Movie hauntings should always be treated with such respect.

I don't think it's really wise/worth comparing scores between different competitions. Different panels, judges, etc.
I'd wait until GPF to take some sort of conclusion...
(But that score was a joke.)
I don't think it's really wise/worth comparing scores between different competitions. Different panels, judges, etc.
I'd wait until GPF to take some sort of conclusion...
(But that score was a joke.)
I think V/M didn't get too many technical deductions because Tessa's two stumbles weren't on a required element and no body part actually hit the ice so it didn't count as a fall? And while Scott had a major wobble on his twizzle he didn't actually put a foot down.
But having said that their performance or more program interpretation scores should not have been that high- its a gorgeous program when performed but they had noticeable performance breaks when Tessa and Scott had to stop and re-group after the second stumble. Oh well bad night... I'm sure they won't let it happen again.
Tessa made a mistake on the twizzles as well.
Ahh its times like these when it sucks being a Ice Dance fan.. probably my fave category but with the suckiest judging I hated looking at Tessa and Scott's faces in the K&C, they even looked kinda ashamed for getting that score for such a performance.
she needs to change the skirt (again). Still they are the team to beat at Vancouver IMO (and now even more looking at what home advantage can do to you ). Both of their programs are magnificient.
And yes the stumbles shouldnt hurt the TES but PCS wise they were so shocked with their own mistakes that they were skating by the numbers with no spark and fierce at all at the end of the program
Okay, now that I have icenetwork I can see everybody and IMO the reason V/M won was because the other od's are just not that good. W/P have a great program but it's skated without much power and attack, IMO, or depth of edge, and P/B don't have good unison and are somewhat sloppy.
IMO it goes to skating "clean" but overall not terribly high quality, or making several obvious mistakes while having better skating quality on the parts that were not mistakes. I know regrouping goes to pc's, but it's still arguable, IMO.
Wasn't just you mishieru, I caught that as well (P/B on twizzles).
I'd be fine with V/M in first overall, but not first with a bullet in the OD. Hell, frankly, I'd rather they got a score closer to 52 - just ahead of S/B and W/P (due to the strong musicality, solid basics, and probably higher levels). Lower wouldn't be unfair. But 60? I would love to defend the score, but simply speaking, I can't.
Can't wait for the GPF with the 3 north american teams...and tessa and scott will hopefully have a phenomenal FD, redeem themselves, and truly earn their gold medal
Just to reiterate - I think the other two were possibly scored too high. I just didn't think this was a very strong field (prior to V/M taking the ice). On the level of basic skating P/B are not impressive.
Iam sorry i missed this, forgot about the time. I adore V/M's OD, the style, character of the dance is superb. Sounds like they didn't skate it like they did previously. What a shame, was wanting to see it skated well.

The New Zealand Grand Prix title remains in Kiwi hands despite the onslaught of 16 internationals vying for it yesterday at the last round of the Toyota Racing Series at Manfeild.
Defending NZGP titleholder Nick Cassidy held off a determined challenge from Brit Alex Lynn and young Steijn Schothorst from the Netherlands over 35 laps to hold the trophy aloft again.
Cassidy started on the front row alongside Lynn and won the drag race into the first corner to take the lead and was never threatened.
The 18-year-old Aucklander controlled the race from the front, never allowing Lynn to get closer than half a second. Even during the numerous restarts after the appearance of the safety car, Cassidy managed to keep his nearest rival at bay and regularly pulled a comfortable gap within a racing lap.
"It's been great to be able to defend the New Zealand Grand Prix title and get my name on the trophy again," said Cassidy.
"We always had our eyes on this race [NZGP] and managed our tyres well. The car was great and I managed to hold off the others."
Cassidy gave himself an extra challenge while defending both the NZGP and TRS titles in that he changed teams. Wanting to develop himself further as a team player, he wanted to prove he could work with any given team and produce the goods.
"I'm certainly relieved and very pleased my decision paid off. Full credit to both teams as Giles did an amazing job last year, as M2 did this year.
"I don't think it's about what team is better than the other but rather how you as a driver work with the team," said Cassidy.
The NZGP race was the last event in the five-round 15-race session held over the past five weeks. Cassidy also managed to defend his series title.
Heading to Manfeild three drivers - Cassidy, Lynn and Austrian Lucas Auer - were in the box seat. Cassidy played the long game.
Auer and Lynn both messed up yesterday morning's race to finish well down the field while Cassidy podiumed again to extend his point's lead. At the end of the day Cassidy had the title from Lynn, Auer and the impressive Schothorst. "We had a seventh and an eighth and every other result was in the top four during the season.
"It's pretty incredible to think that in 13 races you can finish inside the top four, especially this year with the number of overseas drivers," said Cassidy.
Final TRS points
Nick Cassidy 915
Alex Lynn 803
Lucas Auer 797
Steijn Schothorst 754
Bruno Bonifacio 650
Felix Serralles 646
Pipo Derani 625

If you want to use the forum built-in photo feature, I think you may have incompatible settings set in your profile options. At the top of the page, go to "Settings", then "General Settings", then scroll down and look for "Miscellaneous Options".
Check that for "Message Editor Interface:" the "Enhanced Interface" option is selected, and for "Enhanced Attachment Uploading:", set it to "Off".
Then when you want to upload photos, don't use the "Attachment" feature. Instead, use the "Insert Image" button on the message Toolbar. Also make sure your image does not exceed allowable size. The above works for me, but if you still have issues, I don't have any further suggestions.
If you think this is too complicated, use a free image host like Photobucket.com and link images here. many of the photos you see at Beesource are hosted at Photobucket.com. More on how to do that in post #10 of this thread: http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...et#post1001371

Thanks guys, lets give this a try. Here is a kid from Texas, Charlie, that came to visit with my step son to be that really had an intrest in bees. Happen to show up during my first inspection (of this hive in front yard. Many more before this one) so I took a few liberties :-) Mind you, if these bees had brood or even a little bit moody i would not have done this whithout a veil and suit. Gave him a good lesson on bees afterwards. Anyway, this kids confidence was off the chain when he left. :-) Maybe a Beek one day?

Today marks the end of my participation in the Pregame Forum for 4 weeks, and possibly longer. A self imposed ban to regain my composure after this weekends attacks on my integrity as a Professional Handicapper here. Not looking for any type of sympathy nor would I accept any, this is a hard decision, but after careful thought and consideration, this is nessasary for me.
I lowered myself to argue with, and have drama with, a bunch of uninformed, bottom feeder haters this weekend and that is not me, and quite frankly a complete waste of my time. Any of the old school regulars know me far better than to cater to these types.
I have spent 21 years in this business building a brand and a fair and honest reputatuion, I am not going to subject myself to having certain types destroy it in a forum with unregulated character assaignations.
In my perspective as a professional who has dedicated countless hours of free content in here over the past 4 -5 years on a steady basis it is futile as a Pregame Pro to come in here, showcase my about 75% opinions and wares for FREE that I put into Pregame, lose a big game, and then take responsibility for it, and take that type of hatred and abuse that is prevalent in the community as of late, is more than I care to absorb with the responsibilities I have in place to regular Pregame Pros clients.
I am not bitching or whinning or pissed off about it, just walking away from it for an long while to concentrate on my craft for those who expect my best daily, and to uphold the standards in which RJ and JD have set forth to their cappers. I shall give them 100% of my time, which they deserve.

Tony George just became one of my favorite handicappers on this site. Simply put he handles business professionally. He has show that he knows his own faults (getting caught up in chippy bullshit) and rather than feed it..he is stepping away. Top notch character trait to be able to do that. Applause and respect for Tony G.
Very sorry to hear this Tony. Its a shame that that has happened to you. Your interaction will be missed and your info will be missed as well. You are a class guy and I wish you all the best during your break. Take care my friend.

Good for you. It's a shame you have to, but no one can blame you. What went on the past two days has been absurd. Enjoy the time out of the forums. BOL
Yes, Tony, enough is enough. I say this with respect.....maybe you need a few days to figure out if you have the right perspective. Maybe it's time to realize that maybe, just maybe, you need to take a harder look at what is really going on here, take a step back and realize that the question of integrity swings both ways.

This is just one example of many......just this weekend on your home page you advertised a play for Sunday as a Triple Dime Monster TOP PLAY. You also claim to be undefeated on your NFL Triple Dimes (when going through your last 100 plays I found 1 game that fit that criteria, Cincy on 11/18).
Please realize that I am not the type of person that would ever bash a handicapper for a losing pick, but I am also not the type of person that would ever buy a pick touted as a Triple Dime Moster TOP PLAY. Tony, when you use that type of marketing, you are attracting the type of player that will bash you when you send him a losing pick. With your very own marketing tactics, you have chosen (willingly, or not) to do business with the very type of individual that will be swayed by Triple Dime Monster TOP PLAY advertising and who will come on here and go crazy when the pick you send them gets crushed.
It's a double edged sword.....you want people to be attracted to your marketing schemes, but you want those very same people to be intelligent enough to realize this is a war, not a battle, and to refrain from bashing you when you send them an occassional loser. Not going to happen Tony, not in a million years.
Look around the forum, the handicappers that get the most outrageous bashing are usually the ones that make the most outrageous boasts about their records, etc....The handicappers that stay under the radar and somewhat blandly go about their business are usually the guys that avoid all of the nonsense that accompanies a losing weekend.
In my humble opinion, walking away from the forum for the next 4 weeks is a mistake. I'm guessing this is your busiest time of the year. Take 4 weeks off in February when the season is over and you can really decompress. For now, answer the bashers with dignity and grace. They bought into your marketing about a Game of The Year, they sent you some money, and one of the things they get to do is come on here and spout off when they lose. Is that really a big deal?
By answering these clowns with dignity and grace you accomplish two things.....1) It lets them know you appreciate their business and 2) It lets the rest of us know that you are a true professional that can't be swayed or deterred by the occassional rantings of a bunch of nimrods.
I also see a disturbing trend that many handicappers seem to use as a shield. Here goes.......If you want to offer something for free, then don't continually act as though we should somehow be in your debt or hold you to a different standard because you give out so much free information. There, I said it.
It's a very disturbing trend. "I give out picks for free so please look at me differently". Tony, you did that very thing in your post. You described yourself as a guy that put in countless hours of free content over the past 4-5 years and then somehow used that to describe how that should place you above the nonsense. I think I can understand your position, but don't see how one directy effects the other.
Are there people pressuring you for free information? If you are using free information to draw in more customers, then that seems to be a tactic you choose to employ. If you are not comfortable giving out free picks, then maybe it's time to revisit your business model.
Tony, if you swim in the kiddie pool you are going to get pissed on from time to time. If you market to the nimrods and dipsticks, you are going to get bashed by a bunch of idiots when you lose. Plain and simple.
The best revenge is living well.
Best wishes for continued success -
Joe D
You will be missed
remember...even Jesus couldn't please everyone,
So where does that leave the rest of us?
Wow sorry to see u go off for a few . I look forward to your picks and insight it was a wealth of info sometimes I agreed and sometimes not, but that's what makes this site so great. To all who are on here good luck and keep fighting and staying strong . Screw the bastards that can only complain about the losing . Just buy the picks for info nothing else see if u missed something that they have on there post or pick. To all have a good day and lets yell as much about the wins as the loses. Whoa ya ...
Sorry to hear this
Best Wishes, Tony!
eagerly await your return

We have recently seen a number of new members join, and as such, it is probably a good time to go over a few board rules.
political discussions, racial or ethnic slurs, stalking, serious
harrassment, or any type of truly offensive discussions or actions will
ever be tolerated. If you see anyone engaging in this type of abuse,
please realize that there is a "Report Abuse" button in the lower right
side of every post. Only one post per thread needs to be reported for
a mod to look at the entire thread and take necessary action. Please
realize that abusing this feature is a form of abuse, and following
other users around to see what they are posting about other people for
the sole purpose of reporting them to the mods is a form of stalking,
and IS a bannable offense. We mods make every effort to review every
thread, and the "report abuse" option is there to help us find a
objectionable and bannable posting before too many people see it. We
ask that you help us by using it in a responsible fashion.
you are citing a fact, you must provide a link. Many people come here
to get all sorts of Giants news, and even NFL news in general. So post
a link or don't post at all. If you saw it in the newspaper, all
newspapers have websites now. Find it before you post it. If you saw
it on TV, all tv stations have websites now, and the video is probably
on the site. If not, at least try to find it, and if you can't, then
you can say exactly what channel and program you saw it on. As an
example that didn't happen yet, saying "Haynesworth signed by the
Giants for the league minimum!" will only piss off a lot of users.
Saying that you saw this on the Bob Papa radio show on April Fool's Day
might actually clarify it. People want to know where they are getting
the news from.
Copying and pasting PORTIONS of external sources
is fine. Posting links to other sites is fine (and as said above is
mandatory.) Posting ANY external source in its entirety is a violation
of copyright laws for which the Giants will be held responsible. Don't
do it. Similarly, discussing in public forums where to obtain
recordings of any type of video, including games, movies, DVDs of the
Giants, etc. and where to stream the games if you're out of market is
also a potential violation of copyright laws for which the Giants will
be held responsible. If you are on these boards, you are on the
Giants' intellectual property, and as such you must realize that the
Giants are ultimately responsible for all content on these boards.
None of this will be tolerated.
Masking profanity has been going
on for far too long. If you need to say "****", then type "****" and
let the built in filter do its job, as it did here. As an example,
typing "f**k" is bannable. Typing "****" and letting the filter work
is not.
Please keep sig sizes to the width of the page maximum, and no pictures of ladies are allowed. Sorry guys.
that this is a message board, where people from all ages come to talk
about Giants Football. By definition, people will not always agree on
every issue. We ask that you all respect everyone else's right to have
and voice their own opinion. However, if you expect people to respect
your opinion, then you need to understand that respect must be earned,
whether on a message board, or out on the street.
If someone is
calling you an idiot, they are not committing a bannable offense, and
therefore they are not abusing you. They are giving you the right to
voice your opinion, and they are letting you know that you have not yet
earned their respect. If you feel like certain people are insulting
you with these types of words, then the best advice we mods can give
you is to avoid those people. There are over 40,000 members here, most
of them Giants fans, and I'm sure someone else will treat you better.
rules are in place to make these boards a more fun and friendly place
for everyone. We mods aren't out to get anyone (except a certain clown
that keeps cloning himself) and we certainly don't get paid for what we
do. We are volunteering our time and efforts out of a common love for
Giants football, and respect for the boards. Please help us by
following these very simple rules. Most of all, use common sense.

So say I was doing a renderer in CUDA.
I could say, enable light 0 and make it a point light.
Disable light 1.
Disable light 2.
Then I'd have the entire program loaded and just run something like this:
for(int light = 0; light < maxLights; light++) { if(gl_light[light].enabled) { switch(gl_light[light].type) { case LIGHT_SPOT: //do spot light stuff break; case LIGHT_POINT: //do point light stuff break; case LIGHT_DIRECTIONAL: //do diractional light stuff break; } } }
There are branches, but all processors take the same path in the branches and don't cause divergence.
In the world of Shaders I've seen people recommending something like uber shaders to handle different permutations of rendering states to avoid branches since they are supposed to be slower. But is it really slower in shaders when all of them take the same path in the code? You end up having to compile many different shaders and changing which one is loaded based on what you are rendering, which causes some slowdown.
Is there a reason to not just have these much bigger shaders with some if statements?


text: Very new newbie here. Was reading this site today for the first time and have learned alot already. OK, never heard of the crush and strain method though it seems clear and easy to do (I have access to lots of 5-gal plastic buckets). My questions are these: (1) My new foundations are the pressed bees wax type. Can you crush and strain this type? (2) I thought that with the extractor method, you still have the drawn comb left to be used next year and the bees are just that much further ahead of the game next year. True or does the extraction method also destroy your supers comb? (3) I guess the crush method means I would have to buy new supers foundation and rewire and re-press the foundations. True? Thanks and cheers. OldScout.

How many damned TE's do we need? We need pass rushers, LBers and DB's...not more ****ing TE's!
Find the money to sign Bennett and our TE situation is set. We finally found the first TE since Bavaro and Howard Cross that is the complete package of receiver and blocker ...why are we ****ing around with re-signing bennett?
Bavaria and Cross were nice but I think u forgot about Shockley. He was a beast in his day as well.
But sadly, Shockey didn't have a Giants' mentality. I hope this kid picks up the offense fast this preseason. He got to see a lot of it last year. No excuses this year. I do wish the article had a more positive tone though. Another of the wait and see what we have guys. They need to really show up or we will be scrambling.
I dont think JR is to upset about Bennett being an UFA. he will let him go. I think he feels Robinson will be a Star. We already have secured Pascoe under the 1yr Vet Min. And he is serviceable. He seems to slip through the cracks and no one seems to cover him. he doesnt get a whole lot of throws so thats why Defenses are not to worried about him. But just when the giants need it on a huge 3rd down and long the Defense is caught sleeping and pascoe comes up with a huge play for the Giants.
Not sure what we will get out of Beckum if he will even come back from the injury.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

Rosalie Ambrosino
UTSA names interim provost and executive vice president
By David Gabler
Assistant Vice President for University Communications
(Aug. 26, 2005)--The University of Texas at San Antonio announced today the appointment of Rosalie Ambrosino as interim provost and executive vice president effective Jan. 1, 2006.
Ambrosino will replace Guy Bailey, who leaves UTSA in December to become chancellor of the University of Missouri - Kansas City. She has served as vice president for student affairs at UTSA since 2001. From 1999 to 2001, she was the university's vice provost for undergraduate studies and enrollment management.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"Rosalie Ambrosino's vision and outstanding record as a senior administrator have been instrumental in UTSA's growth as it becomes a premier research university," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "A talented educator, her work in academia and student affairs has prepared her well to assume this role while we conduct a national search."
A social worker with a special interest in social welfare policy and multicultural education, Ambrosino directed the School of Social Work undergraduate program at the University of Texas at Austin prior to joining UTSA. She was one of the first 12 faculty members inducted into UT Austin's Academy of Distinguished Teachers.
Ambrosino holds a bachelor's degree in social work from the University of Minnesota, a master's degree in educational administration and multicultural education from Antioch University, and a doctorate in social work from UT Austin.
She began her career at UT Austin at the Center for Social Work Research, where she oversaw more than $5 million of federally- and state-funded research and training projects in child welfare and welfare reform. Ambrosino also is the lead author of "Social Work and Social Welfare," which soon will be in its sixth edition.
While at UT Austin, Ambrosino was recognized for her service to students and her commitment to excellence in teaching. She was the recipient of seven university teaching awards, including the William Blunk Professorship and the Chancellor's Teaching Award.
As UTSA's vice president for student affairs and undergraduate studies, Ambrosino oversees a number of offices and programs, including the Office of Academic Support and Undergraduate Studies, Office of Admissions, the Office of the Registrar and the Office of Student Financial Aid. As chief student affairs administrator, she also is responsible for UTSA's Division I athletics program.
As interim provost, Ambrosino will work with President Romo, Office of the Provost staff and college deans to ensure a smooth transition from Provost Bailey's administration to that of the new provost.
"Guy Bailey has done an exceptional job of moving UTSA and its academic programs into the future, and I will miss his vision and leadership," said Ambrosino. "UTSA has an outstanding team of leaders in academic affairs. I intend to support them and the university's goals to maintain momentum as we continue to chart the incredible future that lies ahead."
Bailey, a professor of English, classics and philosophy, has served as provost at UTSA since 1998.

St. Louis Catholic High School is helping its students be better prepared for college through an innovative technology program called the One to One Initiative.
According to Deborah Frank, president of the school, the program gives every student and teacher a laptop computer to use during the school year. "The students and teachers have access to the latest technology at all times," Frank said. "Students take notes on their tablets through a software program and can organize their notes digitally, and teachers can use different programs in their lesson plans." This is the second year the school has used the program, and St. Louis is the first school in Calcasieu Parish to have it, she said.
According to Frank, the program even allows teachers to administer tests and quizzes online, with test results being instantaneous. Frank said that is a major benefit because the teacher knows immediately if the students need more instruction in an area or if they can move on.
"English teachers also use the program a lot," Frank said. "If they're reading a selection in literature, the teacher loads that onto the students' laptops, and the students can use their pens or highlighters as they read, much like they would do in a hardback."
According to Frank, the school invested in the program after feedback from graduates showed that many didn't feel as prepared with technology in college as they would've liked. "Our graduates do very well when they go on to college, and about 98 percent of our kids do go right into four-year institutions," she said. "But nowadays you walk into a college classroom, and the first thing they do is tell you to get a zip drive, get a clicker and go online. That was a major factor for us to invest in this program."
Frank said the school has collaborated with McNeese for research and to make the program more effective. According to Frank, McNeese approached the school after hearing about the program and wanted to do a research project last year.
"We were thrilled because we knew that would give us some data that we didn't necessarily have time to collect," Frank said. "For McNeese it gave them a project, and they published a report at the end of the first year we used the program."
Frank said McNeese did a series of classroom observations and came back with recommendations to improve the program. One recommendation was to hire a full-time instructional technology integration specialist, which the school did. "Our specialist provides training to teachers weekly and is available for one-on-one consultations," Frank said. "It's been huge in terms of teacher proficiency and comfort with using the technology because everyone didn't start out at the same place with their technology skills."
According to Frank, teachers using laptops and software programs in lesson plans doesn't replacing teaching. "This is just a tool that can sometimes make a lesson more effective and make the student more engaged," she said.

This week sees the release of Danny Boyle's amazing new film Trance, a heady thriller which is notably enhanced by Boyle's hyper-kinetic filmmaking and editing style.
Also contributing greatly to the delirious thrills of the film is the score by Rick Smith, better known as Underworld.
Boyle has used Underworld music before, most famously the track Born Slippy in 1996's Trainspotting, but this is the first Boyle film for which Smith is actually composing the score.
And what a score it is. It consistently evokes 8 Ball, the Underworld track Boyle effectively utilised in his underrated 2000 film The Beach.
The constant undermining of reality that buoys Trance is beautifully enhanced by Smith's undulating soundtrack, and it represents the culmination of a collaboration with Boyle that has now spanned five movies, one play (2011's Frankenstein) and one Olympic opening ceremony.
While movies have always relied upon popular music in soundtracks, Trance got me thinking about the times when a band or artist is hired to contribute music to a (live-action) film's soundtrack based on a perceived alignment with the material. It doesn't always succeed, but it can be very exciting.
One such example is the upcoming Tom Cruise sci-fi film Oblivion, a sci-fi adventure opening here next week. The trailer for Oblivion promises stark sci-fi visuals and an ethereal, brightly-lit tone. Which is why I'm so excited that M83 is composing the score, along with Joseph Trapanese.
M83's poppy synth perfection has been practically omnipresent in films and TV over the past several years, but this appears to be is the first time they (he?) is composing a score for a film. Snippets of the soundtrack have been released and all signs point to this being a very appropriate marriage of artist and material.
M83's soaring synthesizers and elliptical soundscapes have always evoked sci-fi vistas to me, and I am looking forward to seeing how they are applied within Oblivion.
Oblivion's director Joseph Kosinski seems to have a knack for this sort of thing, as he masterminded another seemingly perfect marriage of musician and material when he hired superstar French DJs Daft Punk to compose the score for his ultimately ill-fated Tron follow-up, 2010's Tron: Legacy.
Daft Punk were appropriate for the job to the point wjere they seemed to understand the Tron aesthetic better than Kosinski, who delivered a boring movie with an awesome score. The video for Derezzed, the Daft Punk single released for the film, is a cooler Tron follow-up than anything we saw in Tron: Legacy.
Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood ventured into the world of film scores with the 2003 documentary-of-sorts Bodysong. I've never seen the film, but the music is freaking amazing. He has since composed four film scores, two for Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood and The Master). Truly, these are two kindred artistic spirits.
The 2002 adaptation of Nick Hornby's About A Boy co-directed by American Pie's Chris and Paul Weitz gained some degree of credibility by hiring English indie rocker Badly Drawn Boy (Damon Gough) to compose all the music for it, but I don't recall his soundtrack being particularly impactful.
Looking back a little further, Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler perhaps wasn't the obvious choice to compose the score for Rob Reiner's 1987 classic The Princess Bride, but he did a damn fine job of matching the movie's simultaneously reverent and deconstructionist approach to the fairy tale genre.
Legendary slide guitarist Ry Cooder has composed scores for films as disparate as the Richard Pryor version of Brewster's Millions (1985) and Walter Hill's Southern Comfort (1980), but the music he created for Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas (1984) is not only one of my all-time favourite soundtracks, it's some of the best music ever recorded.
Queen's contributions to the 1980 Flash Gordon soundtrack have arguably endured with more success than the movie - it's hard to deny the awesomeness of this pairing.
Paul Simon was commissioned to write songs for 1967's The Graduate, but only one was completed - Mrs. Robinson. The rest of the Simon & Garfunkel tracks used in the film already existed. So this only kinda counts.
Justin Timberlake is getting in on the act with an upcoming movie.
As that article points out, prolific composer Danny Elfman (Batman; Spider-Man; The Simpsons; a million other things) came from a pop background (in the New Wave band Oingo Boingo) but these days is more associated with his film scores, so he doesn't really count.
Amped for the Trance and Oblivion sountracks? What are you favourite examples of famous musicians scoring films? Which notable ones have I missed? Comment below!

This fact sheet is intended to provide a general summary only. For specific legal authority concerning gas cost adjustment proceedings, please refer to the Indiana Code (IC 8-1-2-42(g)) and the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC 170).
The Gas Cost Adjustment (GCA) is a periodic rate adjustment that allows natural gas utilities to account for changes in the price of natural gas they purchase on the competitive wholesale market. This process, which applies to all regulated * natural gas utilities in Indiana, was created by and is administered under state law.
Natural gas utilities have been using the GCA process for a number of years (in most cases, since the early 1980s). The GCA process came into existence after two major events: 1) The energy crisis of the 1970s and 2) The federal government's approval of the Natural Gas Act of 1978, which removed federal price controls on wholesale natural gas markets.
The GCA process has traditionally been "invisible" on monthly consumer bills. However, some Indiana natural gas utilities specifically identify the "Gas Cost Adjustment" in a line item on each bill.
The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) encourages consumers to be aware of several facts about GCAs and the GCA process:
1. Regulated natural gas utilities are allowed by law to make these adjustments to recover actual wholesale costs.
2. A GCA has two basic components.
3. Every GCA filing receives a thorough review by the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) and the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).
4. Natural gas utilities submit GCA filings to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) on a regular basis, and must receive IURC approval before factoring the adjustments into consumer bills.
5. Once a GCA is approved, the utility adds it to, or subtracts it from, the base rates. In order to change base natural gas rates, a full rate proceeding before the IURC is required.

This month's A380 multi-city tour of Latin America comes nearly 40 years after the milestone visit by another revolutionary Airbus jetliner– the no. 1 A300, which made stopovers in Brazil, Venezuela and Mexico during September-October 1973.
Much has changed in the decades between these two visits. When the A300 was demonstrated for the first time in Latin America, Airbus had received initial orders for the aircraft from European airlines, and was looking to build an international customer base for the company's first-ever jetliner. Today, Airbus has more than 11,500 orders for its complete family of single-aisle and widebody commercial aircraft from clients around the world – including numerous airlines in the Latin American region.
For the A380's current tour, the 21st century Airbus flagship arrived on 21 March in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and will perform pilot/demonstration flights in Brazil before continuing to Santiago de Chile for its participation in the FIDAE 2012 air show. The jetliner also will visit Buenos Aires, Argentina, followed by its return to Airbus' headquarters in Toulouse, France on 31 March.
These stopovers will demonstrate the A380's capability to operate from the region's airports and also provide the opportunity for Latin American airline executives, pilots and other personnel to see the double-deck aircraft in action.
During the no. 1 A300's Latin American visit in 1973, the goals were much the same – with the aircraft drawing thousands of interested professional and public visitors during its presence at Brazil's Sao Paulo International Aerospace Show, and stopovers at Brasilia, Caracas, and Mexico City.

A "Denim Dental Dam" is when the genital area isn't clean enough - or doesn't smell clean enough - to perform oral sex on the other party without a barrier to protect ones mouth. It is therefore necessary to have the denim jeans remain on the party to which it will be performed.
It smelled so nasty I had to leave on her denim dental dam so I wouldn't gag

text: For much of the first half of the 19th century, there was a balance in Congress between Northern free states and Southern slave states. In 1836 Texas, which permitted slaveholding, declared independence from Mexico and sought annexation to the United States. Mexico threatened war over U.S. annexation of Texas, and in Congress the issue of annexation inflamed debate regarding slavery's expansion. After the Senate rejected an annexation treaty, Congress annexed Texas in 1845 by a joint resolution and declared war with Mexico the following year.

The French term for werewolf. Unlike the werewolf legends, Loup-Garoux can turn at will. The Full Moon has no effect on them whatsoever. You cannot become a Loup-Garoux. You are either born one, or not. Silver can kill them. So can normal bullets, piercing through the heart-as is done with vampires-, and fire. They are not cursed, but blessed. They are more powerful than man, more powerful than beast. It is said that when they turn, they are not the disfigured hairy beasts society has made them out to be, but beautiful creatures. They look just like wolves, but slightly larger. They are mentioned in the book Blood and Chocolate, and also in the movie of that novel.
I sometimes wish I was born a Loup-Garoux, so I could murder my gym teacher. ^_^

A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit. (People not living in households are classified as living in group quarters.) A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other people in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people who share living arrangements.
Average Household Size
A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the number of households. In cases where people in households are cross-classified by race or Hispanic origin, people in the household are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

NEW HAVEN -- Kimberly Clark has two years of college, self-described "good work ethics" and an 8-year-old son.
She also has a 10-year-old felony conviction.
Because of that, she says, she's been unable to find steady work.
"I don't want to be dependent on the Department of Social Services. I want to be self-sufficient," she said.
But prospective employers, she said, "will never know what a hell of a good employee I would be."
Clark was part of a coalition of mothers, community leaders and former inmates at City Hall Tuesday who are seeking support for a state bill that would expand the city's "Ban the Box" ordinance to state employers, granting ex-convicts an opportunity to apply for work without checking the "felon" box on an application.
Like the city's ordinance, the proposed state bill, An Act Concerning Criminal Background Checks for Prospective State Employees, would not entirely eliminate criminal background checks and questions. Those questions would instead be pushed to the end of the hiring process, after a conditional offer of employment has been made.
According to Amy Meek, the city's Prison Re-Entry Initiative Coordinator, more than 50 businesses in the state have confirmed they abide by the city's Ban the Box ordinance. Efforts to determine compliance are ongoing, she said.
"America's strength as a nation is based on some straightforward values, that everyone has an obligation to work, and everyone has a right, a chance, to work," said Mayor John DeStefano Jr. "New Haven understands this. ... We understand we are better when everyone works, and we understand we are better (when) we create these opportunities."
Anthony Deke's AAP Alarm Security Systems has never included a criminal record check on its applications, a nod to Deke's own experience finding work after serving time on a larceny charge.
"I know what it feels like to be rejected. I was once that person," he said. "I'm successful, living proof that we can make it."
While not a question on his applications, Deke said he does later speak to applicants about their backgrounds. Half of his employees have criminal records, he said.
"I do a lot of telemarketing. I train them. I make them do good," he said.
The state bill is making its way through legislative committees. At a hearing in February before the Labor and Public Employees Committee, passions were strong on both sides of the issue.
New Haven mother Audrey Richards testified on behalf of her son, Joseph, who was arrested on a narcotics charge in 2004 when he was 18. He completed his one-year prison sentence and four years of probation in 2009, but his numerous attempts to find work have been thwarted, she testified.
"He was denied employment over and over, and he was always told that because of his felony record, they cannot hire him. ... He would plead to employers for a chance to prove himself; it was to no avail," she testified.
But state Director of Labor Relations Linda Yelmini testified the results of the bill would be "disastrous," claiming the bill could pave the way for convicted child molesters to be hired by the Department of Children and Families and for tax evaders to be hired by the Department of Revenue Service.

Location: Small Grains and Potato Germplasm Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
The specific objectives of the proposed research are: 1) Determine the nutritional value of innovative high-protein ingredients from plants such soybeans and barley including co-products from ethanol and biodiesel production; 2) Optimize amino acid balance of alternative protein diets through supplementation and blending based upon amino acid profiles of target species to increase performance of fish fed these diets; 3) Develop feeding strategies using amino acid imbalanced and complementary diets to up-regulate amino acid utilization and growth of the candidate fish species; 4) Determine effects of these various dietary and feeding manipulations on product quality, health, and stress tolerance of representative species; and, 5) Conduct a production-scale trial, using the optimized alternative protein diets, as a demonstration that will culminate in a workshop for interested industry stakeholders.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
A series of experiments will be conducted to determine nutrient and energy availability of both conventional and innovative plant protein feedstuffs to steelhead trout, cobia and red drum. Based on this information, additional feeding trials will be conducted to optimize amino acid balance of the most promising alternative protein diets through ingredient blending and amino acid supplementation. The effects of these various dietary manipulations will be evaluated in terms of product quality, health and stress tolerance of the various fish species. Enhancement of growth and amino acid retention efficiency also will be evaluated with Atlantic salmon by feeding complementary, amino acid-deficient and -enriched diets alternatively to up-regulate absorption of amino acids to increase protein synthesis and growth. A demonstration trial with industry collaborators also will be conducted to evaluate the effects of alternative protein diets on fish production, health and product quality of trout based on information developed in objectives 1-4. Finally, a workshop to inform producers of the potential for alternative protein diets will be held with results from the project being presented by all participating investigators.
3. Progress Report:
This is the final report for this project. Laboratory trials have been conducted and have identified barley protein concentrate and new varieties of soybeans and to be effective replacements for fish meal in red drum diets. The project is coming to a close and a farm site demonstration trial will start in July 2012. Experimental diets are being produced by ARS and shipped to Texas for testing. This research links to the parent project through Objective 3. Collaborators have held on site meetings, conference calls and communicate frequently by email and phone.

text: I'm looking to put a ram or cold air intake on the new truck, and I've narrowed it down between the K&N 57 series and the Ingen PF series. from what I've been reading the K&N is more of a Ram air design whereas the Ingen is an actual cold air design. The Ingen is a little more expensive at about $300 but it seems legit. I'm curious if anyone has any experience on either setup and what you think of them.

Happiness is no laughing matter in Bhutan. In 1972, the king of the
tiny Himalayan nation declared that his country's development should
be measured not by purely economic indicators such as gross national
product (GNP), but by gross national happiness (GNH).
Much has changed in Bhutan over the past three decades, thanks in
part to the encroachment of Western culture through television and,
more recently, the Internet. But the nation maintains its
unconventional yardstick of success. The prime minister frames his
annual report to the National Assembly in terms of progress toward
the "four pillars" of GNH: "the promotion of
equitable and sustainable socio-economic development, preservation
and promotion of cultural values, conservation of the natural
environment, and establishment of good governance."
Bhutan, say an increasing number of psychologists and economists,
may have a point. Economic measures such as GNP and the more widely
used GDP (gross domestic product) after all, have many "blind
spots." They fail to take into account factors such as
volunteer work, the value of vacation and leisure time or the loss
of natural resources due to environmental degradation. Last
February, more than 300 academics, journalists and students
enthusiastic about GNH gathered in Bhutan's capital of Thimphu to
spread their message. As the title of one paper put it, it was
"A Good Time for Gross National Happiness."
Ruut Veenhoven, a psychologist at Erasmus University in the
Netherlands who attended the conference in Thimphu, has dedicated
much of his career to studying measures of life satisfaction and
believes that eventually such indicators will replace GNP. By
combining surveys of life satisfaction with life-expectancy rates,
Veenhoven has devised what he terms "Happy Life Years"
(HLY) to measure levels of well-being across countries. In Canada,
for example, where the life expectancy is 78.6 and the average level
of life satisfaction is 7.63 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high),
the average HLY would be 60 (78.6 × 0.763).
Ed Diener, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign, also takes happiness quite seriously. With
positive-psychology pioneer Martin Seligman, Diener published an
article in the July 2004 issue of Psychological Sciences in the
Public Interest arguing that "well-being should become
a primary focus of policymakers." The paper concludes that more
accurate measurements of national progress would include three
approaches: economic indicators such as GDP, social indicators such
as education and healthcare, and more subjective measurements that
reflect levels of life satisfaction. As they point out, GDP per
capita has tripled in the United States since World War II, yet life
satisfaction rates have remained static.
Diener believes that "experience-sampling" is necessary
along with surveys to get a clearer picture of levels of well-being.
In such samples, individuals record their feelings about work,
family and other important aspects of life periodically throughout
the day for an extended period of time. The authors admit that
making such research part of national policy would be expensive, but
say that the costs would pale in comparison to the money spent
measuring economic indicators. Plus, citing studies showing that
happy employees are generally healthier and more productive than
employees with lower levels of well-being, they argue that higher
levels of well-being could be a boon to the economy.
Economists working to measure GDP need not worry about job security
just yet. "A huge shift in the way policymakers think"
would be required, Diener concedes, for new measures of development
to be implemented, and Veenhoven notes that data on life
satisfaction simply are not available for many countries, including Bhutan.
Fittingly, though, Diener and Veenhoven remain optimistic about the
future of their field. Although Diener does not think that
well-being will, or should, replace GNP entirely as the primary
indicator of progress, he can envision a day when well-being
statistics flit across television screens next to stock-market
updates. What's needed, both say, is a good set of numbers backed up
by research. After all, says Diener, "if you want people to pay
attention to something, measure it."—Amos Esty
