Video: CNN hits ACORN — again — for bogus voter registrations
posted at 9:15 pm on October 13, 2008 by Allahpundit
Via Ace, the detail about the 2,100 phony registrations in Indiana is recycled from the segment Ed posted on Friday but the close-up of the registration forms and the extended interview with ACORN's lawyer are new, proving that not only is CNN sticking with this story but they're actually building it out. And not just this one. Remember, Drew Griffin's also responsible for that clear-eyed, bolt-from-the-blue look at Obama's relationship with Ayers. What on earth's going on over there? Are they worried that MSNBC will be the Obama administration's mouthpiece of choice so they're slapping him around a bit as a warning not to make enemies of them?
Serious exit question: How, precisely, do people think ACORN's going to influence the election? The worry, as I've understood it, is that the race will narrow and we'll end up a la 2000 in a cliffhanger with one or two counties in some swing state deciding who wins. In that scenario, a few thousand phony votes would be monumental. Judging from some of the e-mail we're getting, though, true believers think something bigger's going on, as though an Obama win by a few percentage points — which would mean a margin of a few million votes — would be inherently shady. Explain to me how ACORN's supposedly planning to convert these bogus registrations into actual bogus votes on a mass scale.

The 2008 WBRU Rock Hunt finals served up an entertainingly diverse lineup at the Living Room last week, from the shock-and-awe must-see duo known as the Awesome Brothers, to the breezy beach-front antics of Someday Providence, to the infectious, pogo-inducing hooks of consensus champs It Was the Best of Times.
The Awesome Brothers were first on deck (the order was determined at random, according to WBRU program director and Rock Hunt judge Chris Novello). Each band had 30 minutes allotted to bring the noise, and just after 9:30 pm, the duo of Luke Boggia (and his frightening Barry Gibb falsetto) and Ashleigh Carraway, alongside their video projection screen/rhythm section, proceeded to slay the crowd with some fiery, electro-disco madness that swayed some initial head-scratching bystanders to break out into spontaneous dance like a psilocybin-laced sock hop. An Awesome Brothers show is like an avant-garde performance art project (yes, both are RISD grads) with a Commodore 64 tap-dancing on your brain. The video screen offered more than just comic relief (like Adult Swim meets public access under the influence); a test pattern and static intertwined and built into a vicious beat, with Boggia wielding his single drumstick against a multi-faceted drum pad thingy and Carraway pouncing on her synth while channeling Janis Joplin's dance moves. The debut album 300% was well-represented through the eight-song set, including the standout "Mascara" (with Carraway taking lead vocals on the live version), a catchy scorcher that sounds like Gary Numan and Josh Homme fused together and wired for fun.
The term "a tough act to follow" rang true for the Warwick-based quartet Someday Providence. With a dash of 311, a splash of Incubus, and a serious dose of Sublime-type riffage, SP provides the perfect auditory complement to backyard barbecues, keg stands, and bong rips. Perhaps the most seasoned of the three bands, the quartet released their debut, The Hidden Vibe, back in September and scored a hit with the top-down fun of "Summertime In Rhode Island," while "Turn the Lights Down Low" was featured on MTV's The Hills last season. Someday Providence came out to simply have a party and was genuinely appreciative, engaging the crowd with broad smiles and bringing the dance floor alive with a Jackson 5 cover to boot. They'll return to the Living Room for a CD release gig on May 24.

This Morning: Apple Below $500, Facebook Powers Web Names, QCOM Rising, TWC Circles Wagons
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Apple hand-wringing
Shares of Apple (AAPL) continue to be weak this morning, breaching $500 again, currently off $2.42, or half a percent, at $498.33, following Monday's disappointing fiscal Q2 outlook from the company.
BlueFin Research Partners analysts John Donovan and Steve Mullane this morning write that "the latest results suggest that with an installed base of approximately 300 million, of which 75% are "replacements", there is enormous pressure for new products in 2014."
Although they think the "trick for Apple is to navigate a better step into the low-end smartphone market," nevertheless, they write "The China Mobile (CHL) impact on demand for the iPhone 5s continues to show promise and we see substantial runway given the breadth of the 3G installed base of approximately 200 million, half of which came on board as of 2013."
Facebook effect
Shares of Facebook (FB) are up $8.35, or almost 16%, at $61.88, adding to last night's after-hours gains, following better-than-expected Q4 results by the company, featuring expansion of its mobile advertising efforts.
Facebook has given a lift to Web, and especially social, names, with Twitter (TWTR) up $4.98, or over 8%, at $64.43, LinkedIn (LNKD) up $11.06, or over 5%, at $215.19, and Yelp (YELP) up $3.61, or 5%, at $75.56.
Price targets are zooming today, though there don't appear to be any actual ratings changes.
J.P. Morgan's Doug Anmuth reiterates an Overweight rating on the shares, and raises his price target to $80 from $62, writing that the "strong" results showed "significant improvement in margin as advertiser demand for social ads continues to build." He liked the acceleration in ad revenue growth, year over year, to 66% from 76%, in the quarter. Ad impressions declined by 8% while prices rose 92%, he notes, thanks to fewer desktop ads, more mobile ads.
"We think 4Q is a further validation that Facebook can continue to drive mobile ad revenue growth through better ad quality and increasing advertiser demand in its ad auction," writes Anmuth.
On the other hand, Evan Wilson of Pacific Crest reiterates Sector Perform rating on the shares, writing that the company "obliterated our estimates for the third consecutive quarter." Even though he raised his estimates, he writes "Our reservation continues to be difficult comparisons, the lack of a wall-of-worry and valuation, but these certainly may not matter for another quarter at least."
Defending Qualcomm
Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM) are up $1.54, or 2.2%, at $72.66, after the company last night reported lower-than-expected fiscal Q1 revenue, projected this quarter's results lower as well, and raised its year EPS expectation.
Simona Jankowski with Goldman Sachs reiterates a Buy rating this morning, and an $82 price target, writing "Qualcomm's quarter was better than feared, in the light of weaker-than- expected results from Apple and Samsung [Electronics (005930KS)]." Although Jankowski cut her estimates, she notes the projection for sales of modems this quarter is better than weak smartphone trends would imply.
She also sees potential upside from China's roll-out this year of LTE wireless service. "The company noted that it does see some potential upside to its CY2014 device forecast of 1.22-1.30bn units due to the LTE deployment in China."
Shares of Google (GOOG) are up $32.25, or almost 3%, at $1,139.40, after the company last night said it will sell its Motorola handset unit to Lenovo (0992HK), and heading toward Google's Q4 results call this evening.
Nomura's Anthony DiClemente, who has a Buy rating on Google shares, and a $1,300 price target, notes Google held onto the patent portfolio from Motorola. "This ongoing patent ownership likely allows for Google to maintain its defense against Android- related lawsuits," he writes.
"All in all, keeping the patents while selling the loss- making hardware unit is the most strategically and financially desirable outcome for Google."
Shares of Lenovo traded down by about 6% in Hong Kong trading following the announcements.
Time-Warner Cable resists
Shares of Time-Warner Cable (TWC) are $1.42, or 1%, at $133.52, after the company this morning reported Q4 revenue of $5.58 billion and EPS of $1.82, topping consensus of $5.56 billion and $1.73. The company said during a conference call following the results that it expects to have about again as much in share repurchase this year as last year, and that it expects to make $25.7 billion in revenue by 2016.
During that conference call, Time-Warner executives, who are fighting a public "bear hug" offer to merge from Charter Communications (CHTR), made their case for why investors should not embrace the Charter offer of $132.50.
Said CEO Rob Marcus, "The folks at Charter and Liberty are very smart guys and they think they see a chance to force a trade before the public realizes what we can achieve with our standalone plan."
"Hopefully after today you feel a lot more comfortable about our go forward plan and the intrinsic value of this company."
Marcus went on CNBC this morning with David Faber. Faber asked Marcus whether he would be willing to state something below the $160 he's indicated as a minimum, such as, perhaps, $145 per Time Warner share. Faber pointed out that would be about $5,000 per Time Warner subscriber. Marcus responded that per-subscriber valuations are not the right way to think about his business, but rather multiples of Ebitda and cash flow, and that $145 would be too low.
Speaking of mergers and acquisitions, in case you missed it, William Baer, assistant attorney general for antitrust, said in an interview with Edward Wyatt of The New York Times that it would be "hard" for any of the top four U.S. wireless carriers to make a case for merging. That, as Wyatt writes, would seem to "cast doubt on recent speculation that T-Mobile (TMUS) and Sprint (S) might consummate a deal in coming months."

I just got the bill for the first month of hosting this blog on Amazon Web Services. The total for the month was $23.60, and includes:
- data transfer charges for all in-bound and out-bound content;
- a full-time use of a LINUX micro-sized Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance (with backup to the Elastic Block Store (EBS));
- a Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket for static files (Cascading Style Sheet and JavaScript files, images, and other media); and
- use of the Amazon CloudFront content distribution network.
All told, I'm pretty pleased with the costs — particularly as I was considering the amortized cost of buying a new server to replace the one I had been using for the past five years. The itemized bill is included below.

In this print Constable sought to capture the magnitude of a wave when viewed from a sheltered position. He wanted it to convey 'one of those animated days when the masses of cloud, agitated and torn, are passing rapidly', and the wind 'meeting with a certain set of the tide, causes the sea to rise and swell with great animation'. He noted that the solitary sea-fowl 'may be observed beating his steady course for miles along the beach just above the breakers', and that these birds added to 'the wildness and to the sentiment of melancholy always attendant on the ocean' (Beckett, Discourses, pp. 19–20).
Lucas began working on the plate some time before 22 September 1830, when Constable said he was longing to see a proof of it (Beckett IV, p. 331). It was based on the painting Brighton Beach (A sea beach) 1824 . It was the only Brighton print in the original English Landscape series of 1830–32. Lucas made at least nine progress proof variations before the published state, of which this is the last. During the proofing the sky was developed, the boat reworked and the number of boats on the sea was increased.

every time I go shopping in Primark it feels like an experience I never experienced before in any other high street shop. I tend to go prepare and at a time that is not peak time otherwise I tend to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of mess of clothing everywhere. the good stuff are all mixed up with the rubbish ones, and even though there are a lot of quality stuff there it becomes very difficult to find, I mean, I kind of have to become a ninja for the time I am in Primark in order to find good items there.
one thing I have to admit is that I love the tights primark sells, absolute quality, and highly recommendable.
Who doesn't love a bargain?
Primark is the best place for cheap clothes without having to break the bank or fear of committing to an expensive price tag.
The clothing itself has come leaps and bounds over the years, keeping up with the latest fashion trends which is useful with the ever-changing trends that fly past throughout the seasons.
The clothing sizes:
-the womens are hit and miss, if you can i would suggesting sizing up however it might not be the same for everyone.
- the mens are narrow, depending on the style however are more true to size
- the kids are true to size, some items are longer but for the most part no complaints.
The homeware things are nice quality and cheap. these days decorating can cost an arm and a leg so its nice to have cheaper options.
the cheap clothes for children are great as kids grow so fast so it isn't much of a issue to spend a few quid on a large amount of items.
the sales are also great as you can often bag yourself a real guilt free bargain!
The staff in primark i have found to be friendly enough when serving you however there aren't many available staff on the shop floor and those that are dont seem the most interested in helping
Overall primark is a good place for someone on a budget.
the quality isnt the best but for the price you can get your moneys worth out if the use of it.
Primark has many clothing items which are cheap and durable. I bought a Jimi Hendrix T-Shirt from them around two years ago and it still looks great! Although I don't wear it anywhere outside of my house.
Primark offers you a wide range of clothing items from jeans to t-shirts to shoes. It has many graphic t-shirts with TV show quotes on them or Disney characters which is great because I love graphic t-shirts and in Primark the cost of the shirt can be as low as £3!
Their PJ section is large and absolutely adorable, there are so many PJ tops and bottoms to choose from and I find myself going to that section every time I go into Primark although I won't actually be buying any PJs.
Their shoes section is small, however it is cheap. The shoes are okay for the price that they are being sold at. The shoes aren't very durable however they fit the price they are being sold for.
There are many bargains which go on in Primark all of the time so if you are out shopping you should stop by for a couple of minutes to see what kind of offers they have in store, because you never know - they might have a coat which matches your eyes for as low as a tenner!
One of the disadvantages about Primark is that everything is so tightly packed together and not only that but they constantly move their items about from one part of the store to another. For example, one time you'll walk into the store and the t-shirt section will be at the front of the store, next time you walk in it will be in the back.
In conclusion Primark is a good store if you have a couple of pounds left in your purse and you want to treat yourself to something nice looking but inexpensive.
Primark is a discount clothes and home store with a high street only presence and no online shopping facility.
I don'd tend to buy my clothes shopping bit by bit, but every 6 months or so I will buy in bulk for work and a bit of casual wear, and I try to buy as much as possible, as cheap as possible, as my tastes change as quick as the weather so I don't want to spend too much per item.
I have visited 3 different Primark stores and they all have the same things in common; they are very large, very overwhelming, very busy and very messy.
Due to the above, this is not for the faint-hearted shopper!. Unless you hit a very lucky day, be prepared to get sweaty, angry, pushy and fruistrated.
Primark has a lot of lovely looking clothes, and a lot of gems, and for a shop that thrives on cheap clothing, it still has some quite quirky and original looking pieces.
The key to this shop is patience, be methodical, and logical, and pick up when you like, and sort out at the end, because there is a LOT you will like, but a LOT that will be the wrong size, and a poor fit.
And that's where it gets that little bit more stressful. When shopping in Primark you must try everything on, because you can pick up 5 size 14 items, and they will range from a anywhere from a 10, to a true size 14, up to an 18, the sizes really are that silly. The queues are very very long, and you have a limited number of items. The staff will look after items and your bags, so be prepared to be nice to them and start swapping items with them in your left over bag, otherwise it's straight back to the queue.
Be careful of buying too many bargains. It may look cheap, but after your 20th "I MUST have this" item, it soon builds up and you end up having a "HOW MUCH!?" moment at the tills and walking out with some very tightly stuffed flimsy brown bags (Make sure you buy the cloth bags or bring your own bags!)
Primark also has a home range which consists of very pretty bedding, cushions, ornaments, candles...etc. These items are very nice and you can find some well priced matching things for the home.
A lot of Primarks now have a Costa Coffee inside the store, so you can put your feet up after all the chaos!
primark is deffinately one place i would not stop shopping at as you can purcharse everything you need at a very reasonable prices.There is so much variety to choose from shoes to clothes and homeware all in one store. I think everyone should visit and see for themselves what they can get and what they will be paying for..
Primark.. well everyone has probably been or heard about it, its the place you can get all the top fashions at low prices they have such a huge range for children, adults, and even homeware! If you havent been i suggest you go and take a look i am sure you will find something you want to buy!
Advantages ---
Okay so the main advantage of course is going to be the prices, they are low and even lower when you catch a sale, you can get the latest fashions at rock bottom prices even shoes are so cheap you can get the full matching outfit for next to nothing!
They have a nice range for adults, men and womens clothing and they also sell the odd bit of homeware but recently that seems to be getting a lot bigger. Childrens clothing aswell from newborn up to teens and they have some nice fashions too!
Disadvantages ---
if you dont like busy stores then avoid at all costs, Primark gets really really busy and please be expected to Que for a long time, the problem i have with primark is the mess of the stores, i have been to several different stores and all is the same, there is usually clothing scattered everywhere as its so busy they cannot keep upto the tidnyess of the store which can be frustrating especially when you are trying go find a certain item!
I also find they have a rather large range of boys clothing but not so much for girls and they dont have enough younger clothing - E.g newborn to 1 year!
Primark, one of the most well known cheap clothes store in the world. Cheap prices, generally good quality and horrid helpers.
I must have at least half a wardrobe of primark clothes and i love mist of them. I wear them quite a lot (mainly because it's around half my wardrobe and) because they are mainly comfortable and of a high quality. There are many sizes so you should be able to find at least a t-shirt that will fit you.
Only problem is there is not any cleaners/ servicemen to pick up the clothes that people throw on the floor or fold up the clothes that have been screwed up. This is a shame as otherwise it is quite a good shop, especially as it is cheap.
Overall, I love Primark, it's cheap, can get near enough everything you want in there. For the price you pay the quality isn't bad at all. They have a wide range of everything really, to suit all ages, seasons and fashion senses and styles.
I do a very wide range of cardigans in the winter, very good value for money and wash well, the do a good selection of plan t-shirts and vest tops too, all at very cheap prices! I love their pyjama and onesie range, it's very good and again cheap and good value for money.
I have only ever had two things from Primark which wasn't so great one was dungarees the hock completely broke off after one wear and after I'd handwashed it too so I wasn't impressed I hand washed it because I didn't want it to break, it would of ruined my dungarees and not done my washing machine much good either. I took it back to the Customer service desk and they accepted it was faulty and refunded me, no problems at all.
The second thing was a White, duffle coat, I was really pleased with it and for £18.00 it was a real bargain! I washed it in the machine and the stitching on the seem on the hood had come lose and separated, still some would say what do you expect from Primark at that price? I say well, whatever price you pay something shouldn't begin to fall apart after its first wash. I again, returned it to Primark and they didn't quibble the return and refunded me.
Everything else I have ever bought from there has been fine, no problems at all. I do though, strongly recommend you try jeans on in there first as the sizes of them aren't always true to there size and they're often smaller, eg, a 12 is sometimes more like a 8-10 I tend to go for size 14 in jeans.
They do a lovely home section too, good quality bedding and towels for a reasonable price. I have tried their nail polishes too, and they aren't bad for 80p.

Primark is a high street store which sells clothes and shoes for women, men and children. It also sells accessories such as jewelry, hair ties, lotions and bath products. The store is notorious for selling items at ridiculously low prices. Due to this it is usually one of the busiest clothing shops on the high street.
My local Primark is Newcastle and there is also a store at the Metrocentre, Gateshead. I have never been in either store when there hasn't been a huge line of customers waiting at the tills. The store does have a large amount of open tills though, so waiting time is never too long.
Although the store have a wide range of clothing for every taste and style the quality of items I've purchased at Primark have been the reason I've not shopped there as often in recent times. I've had problems like one top I bought was marked one size on the neck label and another size on the care label. I've also had items that literally fell to bits after washing. I've discovered the best buys are simple wardrobe standards like t-shirts and jumpers although almost every item I've bought from Primark has been prematurely worn out. The prices are so cheap that it may not matter to some people but I prefer to have clothes that last.
Another thing about the store that I don't like is that it's so messy inside. There are so many customers looking for a bargain that they simply rifle through the clothes and throw them around. When I go in I often see piles on the floor and on display counters just ruffled up. It's not a classy place to shop, put it that way!
Positive aspects about Primark include the fact that their fashions change so regularly that you can always find interesting new designs in store. I love their t-shirt collections in both the men and women departments. There is literally dozens of designs and shapes to choose from so it's a lot of fun to find one you really love. You can buy them for as little as £3 too! My best buy from the store was a very decorative and eye catching travel bag which I got a couple of years ago and which is still in perfect condition despite lots of use.
I would recommend Primark to anyone looking for clothes that cost next to nothing and that they don't mind not holding on to forever. I've seen people of all ages in here and it seems particularly popular with the under 20's age group.
I'm not a snobby shopper - unlike a lot of my friends I have no shame to shop in Primark. The prices are more than reasonable, mostly. Recently some of the prices seem to have increased but are still way below prices you'd expect elsewhere. The quality of the clothes is generally okay, but I have had a few issues with buttons falling off or threads etc.
The shop itself is quite often extremely unorganised and messy. Clothes are guaranteed to be sprawled over the wrong clothing racks, and stepping over abandoned clothes on the shopping floor is the Primark norm. It is much like a constant jumble sale.
I find Primark the most useful for basics / essentials, such as plain tights, socks, plain shoes, hair grips etc. Their bags are easily breakable, as I have learned from experience, and can't carry much weight. Their clothes are one of two extremes: 'who thought this would sell?!' or 'why isn't this sold out?!'. There is rarely an inbetween!
Clothes can also wear out from washes, but when you only spent a few pounds on it in the first place it's hard to complain. For the most part, I've had nothing but good experience with Primark products quality-wise.
I absolutely love the Primark homeware range, which imo is the best part of the shop.
Lastly, a little minor complaint would be the impractical paper bags. I know they're eco-friendly but they aren't great when they get soggy and your purchases end up on the pavement! Ha ha :)
I have to say that I am a regular shopper at my local primark store and I have been for around 5 years.It has the best prices for everyday clothes,socks and pajamas and I regularly shop here probably at least once every week for one thing or another...The variety of clothes on offer are really appealing and you know that everytime you shop at Primark there is always new stock practically on a daily basis.I have bought many cardigans and knit style jumpers over the past months and they are ok quality for what you pay for them.....obviously the old saying 'You get what you pay for' applies to Primark items.You can't expect to pay £10 for a jumper and expect it to be the same quality as a £40 jumper from Next come on thats just common sense.People who complain about the quality may not of thought about the you get what you pay for logic.Clothes from Primark will not last you year after year but the will certainly keep you looking current and warm in the winter and cool in the summer....What more could you ask for??? I am a fan of the pajamas that they sell and I find that they have a wide variety of choice and sizes throughout the majority of all of the ranges. The onesies are so comfortable and a bargain at £8-£12 . I would really recommend this shop to anyone on a budget you can still look decent without having to spend a fortune.
I have a love and hate relationship with Primark, I mean you either Love the shop or you Hate the shop. I'm a consistent shopper at Primark and get most of my day to day clothing from the shop, I love the clothing that is sold in Primark but hate the rush and lay out of the shop it almost reminds me of a jumble sale. All clothing from Primark is in style trends at very cheap prices in comparison to other shops which is why the shop is so popular, and which is one of the main reasons why I love to shop at Primark. The cheap clothing that looks good for cheap prices! Although I must say, I'm usually almost happy with every Item of clothing I buy from Primark, The materials aren't the best and tend to bobble sometimes and shrink after a couple of washes, but that's to be expected because the clothes are fairly cheap material. It's my ultimate favourite shop for buying small essentials such as bags and purses hats and scarves etc and the shop has recently just opened it's own brand of perfumes and sell various different types of make up which I think it great for people who don't mind about brand names and are seeking cheap make up. I have to say though the shop get's very busy and almost on every occasion I have gone in theres been piles and piles of clothes strawn out across the floors and put on wrong hangers which can be extremely annoying!
Primark. It's a bit like marmite! You either love it, or you hate it! Me, I love it!
For me, Primark enables me to get the latest on tend items for a fraction of the cost of other clothing retailers. Their £2.50 t-shirts are a staple of my wardrobe and can either be worn to work under a blouse or with a pair of jeans. Whilst some of the items may not cope with more than 4/5 washes, I do have a grey cardigan that I purchased 8 years ago that is still going strong.
I'm not totally blinkered about my love for Primark, there are days where you want to avoid the store - weekends, as it resembles a jumble sale! Also, don't expect a size 12 to be the same on all style of clothes as you may end up going needing to go up or down a couple of sizes.
Primark is a well-know store of all types os cloths and shoes. It''''s very cheap, you''''ll find a great variety and the products sell have a really good quality. Although it''''s possible to face a crowded store, I say it''''s worth, because you will certainly go back home happy.
Primark is one of the most fashionable, affordable retail stores on the high street. I first visited Primark back in 2005, it was a store on Kilburn High Road in North West London.
The store sells fashionable that is affordable. It was great when I was in my teens and had no or little money because I could still get new clothes and feel good at the same time. Even in my university student days, one of my most worshipped places! But now, I only go there for essentials like socks and plain t-shirts. Oh and the onesies! The onesies are possibly the best thing primark sells. I got a fox onesie there and it was like love at first sight when I bought it, it's a bit holey now but I'm wearing it until it's beyond repair because I love it too much! It only cost me £10, which was pretty awesome. I'm planning to get the parrot one they are currently selling at the moment!
Primark sells things for as cheap as £1/£1.50, you get get these kind of prices in the sale too!
But the one pound items are mainly jewellery, underwear, socks, some t-shirts (the basic ones) But items that are sold for this price normally fall apart, rip, tear, wear out after the first few wears, short term is fine, but for the long term you may want to think about. But some items are just as cheap as car boots and charity shops.
The most expensive item in Primark I have seen was either £25 or £30, which were dresses for the party season (so around December time) but it was a limited edition item, like most retail stores they go for a bit more money.
The jeans usually go round for £7-10, they last no more than a year.
The shoes range between £3-20 pounds. I once bought some heels there in the sale for £4 reduced from £10 and they lasted me two years, so some of the items are not too bad. But things like the ballet pumps, the plimsole-style trainers that teenagers and young people seem to wear quite often are around £2-4, which can be a good thing and a bad thing, because the white ones I only tend to wear in the summer, so it's not bad paying that price for an item you are going to wear everyday and only wear in the summer of that year. I normally tend to get my summer clothes from here because in England, half the time we do not know whether it is going to rain or shine. But if you wear the plimsole-style trainers all year round, it's a bit better to pay a little more for them because they fall apart and get the 'trodden down' look after about a month or two.
The swimwear is amazing at Primark, I bought a bikkni there about seven years ago, and it stills look amazing, brand new and I only paid about £7 for it, so that was a good buy there!
Outwear such as coats are good, because they normally tend to stay in the quality when first bought.
Handbags, weekend bags do tend to fall apart, one time I was filming a scene and used a primark weekend bag and it fell apart during filming so I have to use duct tape to fix it together! Luckily it was only the strap and not the entire bag! They are around £6-10 for weekend bags, and handbags are as cheap as £3-4.
They also sell make-up and home ware as well. I haven't tried the make-up there before, so I am unsure how well it performs, but the home ware is quite nice, I once bought the most adorable pug cushions for £4. Amazing price and I love pugs, so that was a bonus. They look amazing on my bed, have a nice little touch to it.
The stores are located all over the country, sometimes you have more than one store in a city, like two or three, unless you're in London they are all over the place, just about. There are a lot of career opportunities for the store, the best thing to do is check online or if you see an advertisement in the store, is to hand a CV and cover letter in.
It is a good place, if you love fashion and on a budget, or need last minute essentials, a student who needs a fancy dress outfit for a night out (I remember the days!) or if you love clothes so much it does not matter where you shop! Primark is so good for everything and everyone, cheap as chips so no breaking the bank! The last thing that will worry about when shopping here!

text: DebS Your point is well taken but as crzesk8dad pointed out, it's not really apples to apples Differences: -AN 600+ competitors, up to 800 starts -I doubt any SA entrants are juggling vacation time and work schedules in order to attend. -As crze. pointed out, a vastly different level of infrastructure support by both USFS and the host city (I'm sure due to TV coverage). My point is that at some time, a short time frame degrades the ability to host an event and also affects the viability of attendance of an increasing number of potential skaters. AN's have all typically been chosen approximately a year ahead of time. This year, for whatever reason, it is less. (Wasn't it Minissota that was actually chosen two years in advance??) Perhaps 7 months is perfectly fine for all involved. Let us hope so. But for all the ones insisting that 7 months is just fine, at what point would you hit the panic button? Would 5,4,3 months be just fine as well? If there are clear business and economic reasons why the decision was delayed this year from the norm, I would certainly understand this as anyone would. So rather then speculate, perhaps icerinque could shed some light on how the process evolved and perhaps 7 months or less can become the new expectation.

"right" is whatever you want it to be!! personally, I think I'd SITD minimally with the rest stippled ...
Hello QuiltE - I think applique needs the outline quilting. This is what I was doing in the pics at posts 414 and 416 of this thread, and also I did a thread on the vintage machine section:-
Jenniky, I also have had luck the the Press'n Seal. I traced the design with a fine point Sharpie, then dropped the feed dogs and just followed the design. The Press'n Seal pulled off easily. I have no luck with stippling, so I usually STID where I can, and use the Press'n'Seal on the other areas. A FMQ I am not, but I try!
Thanks Muv!! Those posts were the ones that I thought you were doing the blanket stitch on the machine ... and even with your explanation, I didn't catch on that you were stitching up close!! :) I hadn't seen the vintage thread, being that I don't have a vintage machine, I tend not to check that section. Your stitching has come out so even and you have gotten nice and close.
JenniKy ... I just saw your Mystery Train block and it' specatcular. I like how you finished it off and honestly, IMHO you've given it a far nicer look that way, than if you'd done the piano key border. How large is it? In other words, I'm wondering how much you need to add to get it to the size you want.
Oh Morelcabin, That sure is purty!!!:thumbup:
Welcome MorelCabin!
It's so nice to have you drop by ... and what a special Canadian memory to have sent to Italy.
FYI this thread isn't ending with Canada Day!!! ..... so we'd love to have you come on back and work on another of your unique creations!!
JenniKY...you can use different colored threads on the top and the one you want to show on the underside for all of the quilt if the tension is set for it. Clover pen is the best one for truly washing out if your still wish to use pen. Some of the others do wash out and reappear. The weights of the threads and how well they do partnered up will depend a lot on how well your machine can be adjusted. My Janome 6500 seems to take different weights on the top and bobbin well. It takes some experimenting. BTW...if you are doing more than stippling, the finer the thread, the easier it is to backtrack on a design without it being noticed. My instructor uses 100w silk thread. Whatever the design, she would recommend some STD or outlining to stabilize before doing the final quilting. That way, you can start your quilting wherever it works best for you and most of the pens can be removed and out of the way. Have fun!

In complaints filed with the University of Southern Maine's Office of Campus Diversity and Equity, a state legislator and five former colleagues allege they were discriminated against in a recent department restructuring because of their ages. The complainants' ages range between 56 and 63.
Chad Hansen, the attorney representing all six — including state senator Larry Bliss, the former director of the career services office — says while he is at "just the very beginning of the process," additional complaints have been filed through the USM employees' union, and filings are in the works with the Maine Human Rights Commission, a possible prelude to a settlement or lawsuits.
In the restructuring, which combined three departments tasked with helping students handle academics, plan for careers, and handle non-academic issues, eliminated 21 jobs and created 19 new ones — but left six of the new slots vacant — "all the older folks were let go; the younger folks were retained," Hansen says, which "totally stripped the system" of experienced people.
A big part of the problem for the complainants is the six positions left unfilled — "it's not as if they're saying, 'we had to make tough choices between good people,'" Hansen says. The university just simply didn't hire anyone for those positions, though they "hired back all of the younger folks," he says.
Messages left for Daryl McIlwain, associate director of Campus Diversity and Equity, were returned by USM's public affairs department. Spokesman Bob Caswell says three departments — one each handling academic advising, career counseling, and non-academic student needs — were merged into the Office of Student Success, in "one of the most significant reorganizations of an administrative structure ever undertaken here."
Caswell says the search was "open and fair" and found to be equitable by human-resources staff at USM and the wider University of Maine System, as well as by representatives of the employees' union.
While Caswell says the purpose was to improve student retention and graduation and "was never to save money," he did admit that the six unfilled positions were left "open for budgetary reasons." The university has faced budget crunches and student-retention problems for years.
"Advising has kind of been like a nightmare for me," says student Matt Dodge, describing requirements that students meet with advisors before registering for classes each semester, and frequent changes in who his advisor is.

Prineville man recounts frightening night
'I thought he was going to kill me, absolutely'
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - An Oregon State Police traffic stop of a Jeep driving without headlights on Highway 97 in Redmond Wednesday night led police to a Prineville home, where the Jeep's owner 73-year-old Leo Novak had been left tied tightly to a kitchen chair, Crook County sheriff's deputies said.
"I thought he was going to kill me, absolutely," said Novak told NewsChannel 21 Thursday, back home from the hospital. "He put a 9mm right up to my forehead. He wanted my PIN numbers for my credit cards, and I told him I don't use PIN numbers, I don't use it for cash, I use them as a credit card. Well, he didn't really buy that."
OSP Trooper Josh Nagle stopped a white 2008 Jeep Wrangler around 9:40 p.m. for driving without headlights and made contact with the driver, identified as Skyler Suchdolski, 20, of Prineville, said sheriff's Sgt. Jim Chapman.
The trooper became suspicious of the driver and the Jeep's contents, asking Suchdolski about who owned the vehicle. He told the trooper he'd borrowed the car from the owner, which came back as registered to Novak, of Prineville, Chapman said.
"I didn't know him (Suchodolski) very well," Novak said. "He did a little bit of work, and he's a friend of a couple people up the street."
Nagle spotted an empty pistol holster in the car and asked Suchdolski about weapons in the car, then spotted a pistol under the front seat and placed the driver in handcuffs, Chapman said.
The trooper then contacted Crook County dispatch and asked that they send an officer to do a welfare check at Novak's home on Willowdale Drive.
Prineville police Officer Jordan Zamora and sheriff's Deputy Jeremy Neely responded to the house, knocked and got no response, Chapman said. So they continued checking and looked in the kitchen window to find Novak tied to a kitchen chair.
"I couldn't get out of that for nothing. Everything was too tight," said Novak. "I thought he was going to kill me, absolutely."
The two officers entered the home and removed the ligatures from Novak's hands, which were bound behind him and tied to the chair. Chapman said Novak's hands were badly swollen, to the size of grapefruits, and bleeding near the ligature marks.
Crook County Fire and Rescue medics were called to take Novak to Pioneer Memorial Hospital, where the attending ER doctor.
"The doctor had told deputies if he had been there for much longer, he would have had to have his hand amputated," said Crook County Undersheriff John Goutney.
Novak told officers he'd been bound by Suchdolski nearly five hours earlier, after the two of them had sat and visited in Novak's home, Chapman said. He said he was unsure why the visitor had tied him up.
"We were sitting at the table, no problems, no arguments, no nothing," Novak said, describing Suchodolski's visit to his house. "All of a sudden, he says, 'Lay down on the floor,' and he pushed me down and handcuffed me."
Novak told officers Suchodolski then took a semi-automatic handgun, placed it to his head and threatened to kill him several times over the next couple of hours.
According to Novak, Suchodolski left the home, only to return later and go through the house stealing coins, firearms and ammunition, then loading them into his Jeep.
"He stole all my guns. He stole all my money," said Novak. "I had about $2,000, which was destined for the bank."
Suchdolski was lodged at the county jail on charges including first-degree robbery, kidnapping and burglary, four counts of first-degree theft, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, coercion, second-degree assault and menacing. Bail was st at $215,000, Chapman said.

Canutillo school board president accuses state rep of inappropriately promoting lobbyist
EL PASO, Texas - A local school board president is accusing State Rep. Marisa Marquez of inappropriately promoting a lobbyist while she says the trustee is deflecting from the issue of school board transparency.
Canutillo Independent School District Board President Armando Rodriguez on Sunday night said Marquez had "raised red flags" when she suggested to him Canutillo ISD should hire lobbyist Mark Smith.
Rodriguez made the allegations on live TV during ABC-7 Xtra where he appeared to discuss HB 343, a new law authored by Marquez that will require school board trustees to submit personal financial information beginning in January.
Rodriguez has been critical of the legislation, saying it's flawed.
Rodriguez claims Smith sent him a text message a day after the Canutillo ISD board last December voted to start the process of firing then Superintendent Damon Murphy.
In the text message, Smith said he could "have Marisa run interference" and provide "legislative advocacy and month to month crisis management" to avoid the Canutillo ISD board from being taken over by the Texas Education Agency, according to Rodriguez.
The text message said the lobbying services would cost the district $13,500 per month.
Rodriguez showed ABC-7 the text message from his phone but declined to forward it to the reporter.
Rodriguez said a few days after the text message, Marquez called him "to suggest the district hire Mark Smith."
"I was very standoffish when we got that call because it's heartbreaking because we're trying to do what's right for kids and at the same time we have some of our state legislative delegation playing politics with our kids," said Rodriguez.
Marquez denies ever contacting Rodriguez and suggesting hiring Smith.
"Instead of pointing fingers and deflecting on to other issues and other conversations with other parties that have nothing to do with the school district, he should be focused on what's important to the school district that he represents, the constituency he represents and how important this legislation is to restoring public trust," Marquez said in an interview Monday.
Rodriguez on Sunday night initially said he filed a complaint at the time Marquez allegedly called him, but would not disclose what agency he spoke with.
After ABC-7 called several local and federal agencies to confirm he had filed a complaint, Rodriguez said he filed a complaint with the FBI. Federal officials have not returned ABC-7's phone calls to confirm that as of publication of this article.
Marquez, upon listening to Rodriguez's allegations, said she called the Texas Attorney General to look into his concerns.
"We took it upon ourselves and said 'hey our office is being accused of acting inappropriately and we need you to conduct a full investigation." Marquez said the A.G. is checking if the Texas Rangers would investigate those claims.
On Monday afternoon, Rodriguez said he had also called the Texas Rangers that day to check who else would investigate his claims.
"For me it was disheartening and made me realize that there is more to this than what is actually going on in the public." Rodriguez said.
Marquez said Rodriguez has a "responsibility to be honest."
"It's just an opportunity to deflect. Now whether or not he had a conversation with Mark Smith - I don't know. He possibly could have but that has nothing to do with this legislation. It has nothing to do with their responsibility as a board to be transparent. The relationship that Armando is alleging exists between a lobbyist and a legislator, that those conversations had any kind of influence on the type of legislation that we passed - is irresponsible. It has nothing to do with the work we do as legislators, to suggest otherwise is a misuse of his (Rodriguez) position," Marquez said.
Rodriguez on Monday showed ABC-7 an email from Rick Armendariz, a lobbyist with the Forma Group, who Rodriguez said also contacted him shortly after the board moved to fire Murphy.
The email states:
"I had asked Rep. Marquez whether or not she knew if CISD had any level of lobby help this upcoming session, in light of TEA inquiries into EPISD. She contacted me today and informed me that she spoke with you and that you do not nor did you have any immediate intention. If you think it is worth pursuing I can meet with you to go over some of the areas I think my firm could help with during this upcoming session."
Marquez said she did tell Armendariz Canutillo ISD did not have a lobbyist because she had previously asked Rodriguez who Canutillo ISD's government liaison or lobbyist would be during the legislative session. She maintains she did not promote or suggest Canutillo ISD should hire a specific lobbyist, including Armendariz.
Armendariz is part of the Forma Group, which according to Marquez's campaign finance reports, provide campaign consulting for Marquez.
The Forma Group occasionally hires Smith for lobbying work depending on specific cases but he is not part of the Forma Group nor has he ever provided campaign work or consulting for Marquez, according to Armendariz.
Monday night, Rodriguez sent out the following statement:
"During my appearance on News 7 Xtra, I stated that politics - and not the wellbeing of students and constituents - were behind many of the recent efforts and laws aimed at bringing transparency to school districts. While I maintain that transparency and accountability are welcomed qualities in Canutillo, I stand by the comments I made Sunday night.
It is time to stop playing politics and work to find real solutions to the problems plaguing our state. The children and constituents of my District deserve top-notch representation that truly works for the improvement of our communities."
The timeline below shows specifics about the conversations and correspondence dealing with the incident I mentioned on News 7 Xtra:
· Dec. 6, 2012: The CISD Board hears results of an audit alleging irregularities with the federal accountability system, and gives notice to its superintendent at the time that it would seek to suspend employment pending discharge.
· Dec. 8, 2012: Mark Smith of the Forma Group texts Armando Rodriguez stating that they can have state Rep. Marisa Marquez "run interference" before TEA takes punitive action against the District in exchange of a $13,500-a-month crisis management and legislative advocacy contract.
· Between Dec. 8 and Dec. 13, 2012: Rep. Marquez calls Armando Rodriguez to urge him to hire a lobbying firm.
· Dec. 13, 2013: Rick Armendariz, a partner in the Forma Group, emails Armando Rodriguez confirming that a phone call between Rep. Marquez and Rodriguez occurred. The email asks for a meeting to discuss the services Forma can provide CISD.

Edit: Turns out what I am looking for is some sort of sling swivel.
Only I can't find any that are round. I've been looking for the past hour and a half -- can anyone help me out? Please?
Three quick questions:
1) Is the strap on an ESB blaster tied onto the hook?
2) Is it leather? I can't tell and I can't see leather tying easily.
3) Does anyone know of a place that sells the hooks to attach the strap to an ESB blaster? I found screw eyes, but it looks to me like the real hooks can swivel.
Thanks in advance for the help!
What the hell, while I'm here -- my blaster so far:

Some of the honorees at ceremony for TAs and University Teaching Fellows
(Photo by Mark McClendon)
TAs, faculty honored for teaching commitment
By Barbara Millis
Director, Teaching and Learning Center
(May 8, 2009)--Thirty-six graduate student teaching assistants (TAs) and two faculty members were honored at an April 30 ceremony and reception hosted by the UTSA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) and the Graduate Student Association. The event honored graduate students nominated by departments, peers or students for the first UTSA Teaching Assistant Awards and University Teaching Fellows (UTFs, formerly called Master Teaching Fellows).

The teaching fellows had an integral part in the UTSA teaching award initiative and other projects supporting teaching during the last academic year. The TA awards were at three levels: the Distinguished TA Award, given to the top TA in each category; six Outstanding TA Awards, three in each category; and Teaching Recognition Awards. TA awards were given in the categories of humanities, social science and professional schools (HSS), and the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines. Additionally, TLC announced awards for individuals who attended the most TLC workshops or brown-bag events.
John Frederick, UTSA provost and vice president for academic affairs, presented Distinguished and Outstanding TA Awards to Stephanie A. Amsel (English, Distinguished TA Award, HSS category)and Karen Elizabeth Engates (Civil and Environmental Engineering, Distinguished TA Award, STEM category).
Before presenting certificates of recognition to the nine University Teaching Fellows, Frederick described the genesis of the unique program, which allows selected TAs to focus for an academic year on their own professional development and service to other graduate students and the university as a whole. Additionally, he announced the continuation of the program.
HSS nominees receiving Outstanding TA Awards were Anita S. Nickson-Beeson (Political Science and Geography), Pei-Yu Shih (Bicultural-Bilingual Studies) and Ko-Yin Sung, Bicultural-Bilingual Studies. Ashley Brian Sockwell Curtiss (Chemistry), Angela K. Dean (Computer Science) and Mark Doderer, received Outstanding TA Awards in the STEM category.
David R. Johnson, UTSA vice provost for academic and faculty support, presented TA Teaching Recognition awards certificates to Cordelia Barrera (English), Michael Burns (Management), Carmen Caceda (Bicultural-Bilingual Studies), Esther Garza (Bicultural-Bilingual Studies), Katrina Garza (Mathematics), Gabrielle Guy (Chemistry), Amalia Hunter (Mathematics), Rebecca Joy (Chemistry), Pradeep Nair (Electrical Engineering), Mike New (Music), Megan Sibbett (English), Kimberly Smith (Psychology), Prea Thathiah (Biology), Efrain Torres (History and Tomas Rivera Center), Elaine Wong (English), Hsiaoping Wu (Bicultural-Bilingual Studies) and Joon (Jake) Yoon (Bicultural-Bilingual Studies).
TLC presented the Apple Award to Stuart Birnbaum, UTSA associate professor of geological sciences, who attended a record-breaking 18 workshops. Three other individuals who came close to matching his record received books related to teaching and learning: Emeka Ovuegbe, UTF in Civil and Environmental Engineering; Edwin Barea-Rodriguez, chair, Department of Biology; and Marilyn Dehasse Wooten, UTF in Chemistry.
UTFs recognized at the reception were Grisel Acosta (English), Shereen Bhalla (Bicultural-Bilingual Studies), Margaret Costantino (Counseling), Emeka Ovuegbe (Civil and Environmental Engineering), Lydia Overbaugh (Anthropology), Candace Penick (English), Charles Andrew Speer (Anthropology), Marilyn Dehasse Wooten (Chemistry) and Lijie Zhang (Computer Science).
The selection committee include the UTFs; Mary McNaughton-Cassill, associate professor of psychology; Kim Kine, associate professor of communication; and John Shaffer, assistant director of recruitment and retention in the UTSA Graduate School.
Each nominee submitted a cover letter, a teaching philosophy statement, student evaluations and a recommendation letter from his or her department chair or academic adviser. A classroom observation conducted by the nine University Teaching Fellows provided further insight into their teaching skills. The committee members used a rubric to help rank their choices.

MIT's "City Car" Aims to Ease City Congestion, Pollution

MIT City Car conceptual drawing
(Source: SciFi.com)
MIT dreams up a rentable, stackable, all-electric car for cities
America just seems to be obsessed with large vehicles. Maybe it's our expanding waistlines, image consciousness or our "You can't tell me what to do, so I'm gonna buy whatever I want" mentality that persuades people to transport junior in a Suburban, go grocery shopping with a Tundra CrewMax or take Fido to the get his yearly shot in an Escalade EXT.
With rising gas prices, an increasing attention to our
consumption of fossil fuels
, an increasing awareness of
vehicle emissions
and expanding city centers, many are looking for more cost effective and efficient ways of transporting people in metropolitan areas. MIT Media Lab's Smart Cities group is thinking small with a new stackable car to reduce emissions and congestion in and around city centers.
The MIT "
City Car
" would be an all-electric vehicle capable of carrying two passengers and their cargo. The vehicles would be located near train stations, bus terminals and airports to ferry travelers to their final destination.
"The problem with mass transit is it kind of takes you to where you want to go and at the approximate time you want to get there, but not exactly," said Ph.D. candidate Franco Vairani of MIT's school of architecture. "Sometimes you have to walk up to a mile from the last train or subway stop."
The City Car will be stackable -- the entire back end of the vehicle would rise up allowing as many as eight of the vehicles to fit into a conventional parking space. The vehicle itself would also be mechanically simple with the electric motor, steering system and suspension enclosed within the wheel hubs.
The vehicle is said to weigh between 1,000 to 1,200 pounds and will be powered by lithium-ion batteries. According to Vairani, there could also be multiple versions of the City Car to accommodate a certain city's needs. A City Car destined for use in New York City might have a less powerful battery and a lower top speed due to traffic congestion. In other cities where interstate travel is more frequent, more powerful batteries capable of propelling the City Car faster and farther could be used.
If all goes well, MIT will show a prototype of the City Car sometime next year.

Can I keep brood in an incubator after they are capped and emerge without other workers present and live, or do they need to be cared for afterwords?
Can I keep brood in an incubator after they are capped and emerge without other workers present and live, or do they need to be cared for afterwords?
They will need to eat soon after emerging.
Why would you want to do that?
Mark Berninghausen
I am thinking of trying to find out how a new generation of bees act and behave without the influance of older bees. Don't know if I will try or not but it is a idea I have though about.
The humidity needs to be kept at 50 percent also.
It will be interesting to see how they fare without microbial inoculation from the older bees.
If you wanted microbial isolation, you would have to sterilize a cell and put a clean egg in it. The young have been feed by adult bees for several days before they enter the pupal capped brood stage. By that time, they have been exposed to anything the colony has.
Sounds like an interesting experiment. It may be difficult to find brood with no open larvae. But I suppose a small percentage of decomposing larvae shouldn't affect anything.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I am not sure how much microbial isolation you will end up with. I have seen from at least one source that the bees is fed in the process of emerging in order to have the energy to emerge. I have also read that the bees in the colony may assist in removing the cap from the cell.
In all you might learn what the successful emergence rate might be for unassisted bees. Maybe some things about how emergent bees behave when the are exposed to an abandoned hive.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
I'm not saying not to do this, it could be educational, but, taking a segment out of the cycle of the colony life will, I predict, end up w/ dying bees, w/out the nurse bees to take care of the emerging bees. All being part of the whole. That's what I am thinking.
If you do what you are asking about I would really like to know the results.
Have you done any kind of research to find out if someone has already done this? It sorta seems like a Masters Thesis Study, perhaps.
Mark Berninghausen
I'm not talking about "pathogens", rather the gut microbes and honey stomach microbes they need to process and assimilate their food, among other things.
Without adult bees to pass on these complex, microbial cultures, I'm not sure they will fare very well.
Maybe this is more of a "what else can you use an incubator for" question than on topic but;
Has anyone used an incubator as a queen introduction method for the very timid or that breeder queen? Would a very few house bees on a capped frame safely start a mated queen in an incubator? It would have almost or no foragers and in a few days bees who never knew another queen. Bees would be re leaved of temp-control and guard duty. Kind of a safe haven mini hive introduction until fully accepted. My thought last spring, never built the incubator though.
You read my mind that will be my nexy step if this first step goes well.
Aren't there more simple methods of queen introduction?
Mark Berninghausen
Yes Mark there are, some of us just have to much time and to many "what ifs"
I see. Me too.
Mark Berninghausen
I discovered the answer to this question on the Glenn Apiaries site they use an incubator to hatch brood with no workers present, as a method of avoiding tracheal mites. Check this out here is the URL http://www.glenn-apiaries.com/cagefiller.html


text: I read somewhere, wish that I could remember the article. But the writer went on to say that David Stern received a commitment from teams that they would not trade anyone on the Olympic team until after the games are over. Wide speculation is that Joe will borker a big trade after the Olympics which leads me to believe that the trade piece(s )are playing in the Olympics. I kind of vacillate back and forth with this whole trade business, however, I believe that Joe will not go forward with this team as it stands now. I hate to say it, but I sort of think that AJ or Max will be part of a bigger trade with one of our starters. I have finally come to the realization that a bigtrade will be made.

Despite what that recent line at your local Apple Store may have led you to believe, not all owners upgraded to the iPhone 5. There are many of us who are still content with our 4/4S models that simply didn't feel the need to cough up any additional dough for a new phone. Not when we can spend that money on swanky cases and other accessories.
With that in mind I recently took a trio of specialty covers for the previous iPhone model for a test drive, and I found each to offer its own unique strengths. The Waterproof iPhone Case from Outdoor Technology, for example, boasts one very specific selling point – it truly is waterproof. It's a tight fit for your iPhone inside this shiny plastic shell, but its solid build did indeed prove waterproof (in my ridiculous sink-and-bathtub tests) thanks to a hefty inner sealing gasket coupled with three separate exterior lock points. Installing the case is a very deliberate process that takes some time, but for those instances when water protection is a must it's a true lifesaver. Watertight up to one meter in depth for at least 30 minutes, this OT solution manages to keep your phone dry without sacrificing screen, camera or call functionality. Now, that's not to say your call clarity doesn't suffer a bit through all that shielding, so it's best if used in tandem with a Bluetooth headset if you're planning to chat it up on the high seas. It's also important to note that this case doesn't offer much in the way of drop protection, which can easily damage both the watertight seal and your precious iPhone.

Given a question, any question, can we make a computer system that will answer it? Will the system be easy to use and available anywhere for its intended users? Will it be secure? Information technology attempts to answer these questions affirmatively. The "question" might come from the domain of business or biology or journalism. Indeed all professions today are looking to use computing technologies in innovative ways.
The focus here is using what already has been built by interconnecting software components so they do something new. An IT professional will know some programming, be able to make use of operating systems' resources, control communication between hosts over the Internet, access and store data on servers using database technologies, and build intuitive graphical interfaces.
The capstone courses are Software Engineering I and II where students work together to design, create and test a significant software system.
Computing technologies are ubiquitous. Not since the invention of the printing press has the world seen such a revolution in the way information can be used and disseminated. The social impact has been astounding. As responsible professionals we want to understand the impact our work has had and will continue to have on culture, work and politics.

Tank is a legitimate first round talent, probably top 10 if he was healthy.
Hes a better player than Werner, IMO.
Tank is a legitimate first round talent, probably top 10 if he was healthy.
Hes a better player than Werner, IMO.
There were numberous reports that JPP would not get past Tennessee who was picking 1 pick behind us. I think they had brought him in 2x for interviews. He was rated by all the top analysts as a top 20 prospect. We did not reach.
Virtually every Scout had Nicks rated no lower than the 2nd best WR in the draft and a couple guys, including Kiper (I know ppl hate him but I give credit where credit is due) said he was the best pro prospect at the WR position. Fruthermore everyone has him mocked to us because it was widely known we met with him a billions times between the combine and the draft.
Tank carradine is being mocked to us because he is a physical freak in the same way JPP and Ansah are. Ansah will likely be gone but the next biggest freak is Carradine. Furthermore, his knee injury is reportedly not a severe tear and had he actually completed the year he might be a top 2 prospect at the DE position, maybe even #1. People know about Ansah's 40 time and how freakish it is for a guy his size. But make no mistake, Carradine at almost 280 lbs carries almost no body fat, has 35 inch long arms and benches 32 reps of 225. That is every bit as freakish as Ansah's 40 time. Furthermore, he has good game tape and production. I honestly think he would be ahead of Ansah on boards had he not been injured. Ansah is a freak with ok gametape and production. Tank is an equal freak with good gametape and very good production. So teams are just going on our past history of looking for that JPP type, which quite honestly I think Tanks is more JPP like than Ansah.
that knee is the difference between tank going in the first or sliding a bit like he probably will.
I've never heard anyone suggest that Reese gambles in drafts before. The guy trusts his board, every year you hear the same thing from him. "There were several players we wanted to take when our pick came up, I think we've taken the right guy" or something to that effect.
He drafts based on value, and yes need factors into that value. But Reese will always pick the better prospect over the more immediate need.
Never said Reese takes gambles or we reached for JPP and Nicks.. If you guys can read i clearly was saying the media suggests that we do that.... Dont shoot the messenger
If he was healthy he would certainly be in the high first round consideration, the question is the injury something that will hold him back. It is a risk and that is what I think some of the draft boards think when they have him going in the 2nd round.

Name changed on fallen officer's memorial over 100 years later
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - An erroneous report from 1907 led to a name change on fallen officer's memorial in Sullivan County, Tennessee.
Special Deputy Lee Eldreth is the first of nine names listed on the Sullivan County Officer's Memorial. But this year's memorial ceremony is the first one in which the stone reads the correct name.
Phyllis Jackson is the great-granddaughter of Eldreth. He died in 1907 as a Special Deputy, killed trying to help police arrest a robbery suspect.
At the time the local newspaper printed Eldreth's name as Eldridge; for years that's how the fallen deputy was known. "People called us Eldridge, so it was not that unusual that it was reported incorrectly I guess," adds Jackson.
When Sullivan County decided to put together a memorial in 2009, the Eldreth family couldn't be located because the sheriff's office was looking for Eldridge. That's when the error came to light. "That was the reason they couldn't find anyone, because his name was actually Eldreth," adds Jackson.
Years later the family approached the sheriff's office about making a permanent change. "It was really not the fault of the county's that it was wrong, so we didn't feel like it was right to have to spend county money. So our family actually paid for it," says Jackson.
Now, more than 100 years after his death on Christmas Day in 1907, the family of Lee Eldreth has his memory forever ingrained into the fallen officer's memorial.
The family tells us they paid $150 to have the change made. Because the memorial is granite, they couldn't take the incorrect name off the memorial. Now the stone reads Special Deputy Lee "Eldridge" Eldreth.
