The debut album from this Auckland three-piece blends the reggae chill-factor of Katchafire, with the spacier, darker electronic dub of Kora, or Electric Wire Hustle, and the vocal style and sunny horns of early Fat Freddy's. They're like a Pacific melting pot of urban funk, future soul and rootsy rock, with their arsenal of analogue synths, MPC drums, and fuzz guitar. The only problem is their diversity also leads to a lack of focus on some tracks, and makes them come off a little half-hearted, or occasionally the blend of sounds (e.g. lovely soul harmonies mixed with overdriven bass) feels aurally overwhelming. Pressures of Life, featuring Nat Rose, is a highlight, as are the smooth horn contributions of Isaac Aesili, and there are some great components on each track; they're just not quite fitting together perfectly yet.

Paul Rothemund:
Playing with DNA that self-assembles
Paul Rothemund writes code that causes DNA to arrange itself into a star, a smiley face and more. Sure, it's a stunt, but it's also a demonstration of self-assembly at the smallest of scales — with vast implications for the future of making things.

Leadership training for people with disabilities taking applications
The Partners in Policy making program is inviting applications for its nine-month leadership training program.
Individuals with disabilities and parents of young children with developmental disabilities will be trained at no cost in monthly sessions, starting this fall. Over the course of eight sessions, they will learn how to become strong, knowledgeable and effective advocates for themselves, their children and others with disabilities.
This ground breaking program was developed by the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities more than 25 years ago. It is now offered in almost every state and in many foreign countries.
"Graduates report that they gained a greater understanding of disability law and policies and increased their self confidence in advocating for their needs. Many have become leaders in their own communities as they speak up for people with disabilities," said Colleen Wieck, executive director of the Governor's Council.
The eight sessions cover the history of the disability and self-advocacy movements, inclusive education, supported living and avenues to influence county, state and federal legislative processes. To make it easier to participate, the two-day meetings are all held on weekends, from September to May.
There is no cost to individuals selected for the Partners program, adults with disabilities and parents of young children with developmental disabilities, since it is covered by a federal grant to the Minnesota Governor's Council.
Child care, respite allowances and overnight accommodations are also provided for those who have to travel from outside the metro area to attend. Mileage and meals are also covered by the grant.
All eight sessions will be held at the Minneapolis Airport Marriott in Bloomington.
Limited to 40 participants, all of whom must be Minnesota residents, class members are selected by a panel of Partners graduates and representatives of the Governor's Council.
The first session for the 2013-14 program year is scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 27-28. Presenters include local experts and nationally recognized leaders in school inclusion, community organizing, governmental processes and disability issues.
Applications are due by July 15.
Those selected to participate in the program must attend all meetings and complete homework assignments between the sessions.
For more information or to receive an application form, go to www.mngts.org/partnersinpolicymaking or email email@example.com.

My Crush of the Week is... Eddie Redmayne!
Every week, our love editor Devin chats about her hot-guy celeb crushes. Today, she's got a thing for Eddie Redmayne!
"Les Misérables!!!" "Les Miserspeechless." "Oh, how I love Les Mis." So has been my Facebook newsfeed for the past three days. What was my favorite part of the movie, you ask? Oh, sure, I'll tell you. Eddie Redmayne. He is part actor, part Prince Harry upgrade, and he has also been named part of "The New Brit Pack," alongside other English superstars like Andrew Garfield and Aaron Taylor-Johnson who are taking over the American silver screen. In Les Misérables, he plays Marius, a brave revolutionary during Paris' June Rebellion in 1832, and the love interest of Cosette, played by Amanda Seyfried. Now, I'm not one to cry during movies, but when Éponine, played by Samantha Barks, sang belted with magical superpowers "On My Own," and when Marius so peacefully [SPOILER ALERT] "kissed her goodbye," it really got to me! You see, Éponine and Marius are friends, but she had been in love with Marius forever, and I totally related. Not just because I secretly wished Eddie would somehow be able to see through the movie screen and fall in love with me instead of Cosette (what a twist that would be!), but because I've also been head-over-heels for a guy who didn't like me back. (It was 8th grade, his name was John, and to this day, when I need to think of something serious to jerk me out of a laughing fit at an inopportune time, I think of when I saw him walking home with his crush Jennica—which had been our thing up until that point—and I was crushed.)
But back to Eddie…sorry! He was born and raised in London, studied art and history at Trinity College in Cambridge before coming to the U.S., and you can also catch him in My Week with Marilyn and The Pillars of the Earth, among other films. Bottom line: Go see Les Misérables, and just try to convince me that redheads come in third place afterward.
Now you go! Have you ever been in love with someone who didn't feel the same way? And, on a lighter note, what was your favorite part of Les Mis? Tell me in the comments!

I know the boards have a thing about calling out individual members but I thought you deserved a word of thanks and appreciation for all of the film you cut for the draft previews.
It's really appreciated by me (as someone who doesn't like pure highlight films) and wanted you to know it
P.S. - that goes for everyone else who contributes as well.

Sponsored Smut: The Essence of TIFF
We are just days away - the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). It'll be my third time covering the event for eTalk and the blog and since eTalk is literally festival headquarters with the most exclusive interviews and unprecedented access, needless to say, for 10 days, it's balls to the wall, full on exhilaration and exhaustion.
On top of all this - we're kicking things off on Friday Sept 5th with live coverage from our eTalk Festival Party with a blockbuster guest list. I'm scheduled to work that night ...
So what does it all mean? Thought I'd give you some insight if on the off chance you're interested. What it's like for the producers, the camera crew, and the reporters in the trenches.
In 2006 and 2007 I was assigned to party duty. Sometimes two a night. Party duty is not me getting cranked at some lounge grinding up on George Clooney. Party duty is getting to the carpet outside the club and waiting. If party publicists say that arrivals will happen at 10pm, we have to get there at 9 the latest. Just in case. In case celebrities grow a new brain and decide to come on time. Needless to say, this never happens.
What happens is that they show up on average 45 minutes late. With the exception, actually, of George Clooney. George is never late unless he can't help it. Professionalism, see? But it's not like we're waiting in a lounge chair the whole time either. It's cocktail attire and heels and we are standing. The purpose? A 20 second sound bite that the show is counting on the next day. We don't go home until we get that soundbite. For the camera guys it's 30 pounds on their backs. On a good night we're out of there in an hour and a half. On a sh-tty night, say for that Filthy Scab Pam Anderson, it could be 3 hours. Even if it's raining. And where Pam is concerned, you should always expect that it could be a bust. Pam is famous for the bail.
Depending on the tip sheet though (a tip sheet is a list of expected celebrity guests passed out by the publicist on a carpet, like the annual Holt Renfrew bash, 3 hrs doesn't always have to be a time suck. That carpet is usually stacked. And once it wraps, going inside - Holt Renfrew does the best food and cocktails.
On some nights we might have to dash to another assignment. If it's a 2 hour deal, it could mean I'm not released til 2am. Then it's after hours smut - hooking up with my girls, unwinding with a vodka soda, and stumbling home at dawn. The producers head back to studio to edit the stories. I sleep for 3 hrs, deliver last night's gossip to you from 6am to around 10am, take a brief break for voice-overs at the studio, blog some more, shower, hair and makeup from 1030am - noon while posting on blackberry, shoot eTalk on location til 130pm, then maybe a junket interview in the eTalk Lounge at the Intercontinental, then back to blogging til late afternoon, hit the gym or a nap, depending if that night's dress is a tight fit, hit a screening, then party carpets, rinse and repeat.
Again, I'm not a producer. On top of what I do they are in the technical suites, making sure the stories go to air just a few hours later, vetting scripts, deciding on shot selection, and coming up with the program for what's ahead.
And then there's what to wear and how to wear it. At least 2 wardrobe changes a day, sometimes 3 - not like it matters interviewing the thinnest people in the world who've broken world records in appetite control, to say nothing of being in the same city as my mother. The Squawking Chicken is never easy on the self esteem.
Last time she saw me she poked my arm and not so subtly pointed out the thickness. Just the other night she asked me - don't you feel badly that "Korea Girl" (eTalk host and my friend Tanya Kim) is thinner than you are?
How do you answer??? How do you make her leave your room when she forces her way in and demands to iron your clothes?
The sh-tty parts are hardly memorable. What happens after work more than makes up for the stress and fatigue. When our team reconvenes after a flawless live show, when we're up on a rooftop reliving the drama, giggling with relief, as Sasha and I relay in slow motion to everyone else how Colin Farrell did bad bad but good good things to her with his eyes and she did the unthinkable and walked away, when everyone is in stitches after she describes how I practically necked a hearing-challenged Woody Allen during an interview inside the Chanel boutique as his wife looked on in horror, as Dylan and I describe the insane Brange scrum that almost had us trampled, as Laura and I tuck up in bed at the very end preparing for the next day and a potentially toxic Joaquin Phoenix interview… those are the battle moments you live for.
TIFF coverage begins on September 4th. I hope you enjoy it.

Its all over my new garden area this year. I live in Southern Indiana.
closer up:
what does it smell like when you crush it?
Purple Deadnettle
Purple deadnettle is a common weed invader of vacant agricultural fields, landscape borders, derelict lawns, and compost piles. The leathery leaves often appear dark green-to-purple. Deadnettle is one of the first plants to flower after snow melt in the spring. Appearance in lawns will be linked to thin or bare areas that experienced some disturbance in the previous fall. (http://www.msuturfweeds.net/details/...deadnettle_60/)
I have a ton of it this year too and I am only a couple of miles north of you.
They seem really happy with it. I'll let them have it for a little while longer, but we need to get the garden ready soon, haha.
Right on Purple Deadnettle!
This is our first serious build-up plant in Mid-Maryland.
Bright red pollen loads!
Adam Finkelstein
I say let them have at it! Who knows what the weather will bring, and when there will be something else for them. Mind you the weather in South Central Indiana this week and next looks great - high 60's, low 70's.
At the garden shops it is lamium and comes in varegated and two bloom colors.

What a good deal for a 2nd WR.
Teams are soon gonna have to debate whether they only want a couple of ELITE players and a bunch of average-to-below average players, or just a team with uniformly average players. Joe Flacco's deal is nuts, too; unless the next QBs in line to get huge deals (Rodgers, Stafford, Luck) reverse the trend by taking more modest deals with averages around 15, rather than 20 (which won't happen), then having a franchise QB is gonna be very expensive. Oh, and average QBs, like Alex Smith, will start getting 65-70 million dollar contracts!
If Cruz were to be offered that kind of money, why would we expect him to stay here to make less than 3?
I still don't think any team is going to make him an offer that includes a 1st round.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
It's when teams lose sight of this that we get guys like Charles Johnson receiving a 72 million dollar contract. Granted, Charlotte is a small market, but how often does Charles Johnson come to mind when discussing top DEs (saved you the trouble, Johnson is a DE )?

Sad. I love Peyton.
While i think the manning brothers are ultra competitive i really dont believe they would wanna play in the same division. And while Snyder would pay him - i just don't see him coming to the east.
My guess is Miami or Arizona - warmer weather - nice receivers in Fitz and Marshall.
I think the jets and the nfc east is not an option .
Call me crazy but I think the Colts cut Peyton thus negating his contract and then resigning an incentive laden contract with the Colts thus enabling the Colts to draft Luck and keep Peyton. I think that's why Peyton said this recently.
This gives the Colts some protection and another option if his recovery doesn't work out.
PS. No way Peyton plays in the same division as Eli. Not going to happen.
[quote user="Hail"][/quote]Nice dream, but sorry to break it to you but it won't happen since he won't play in the same division as his brother. Might not even play in the same City because of it.
Enjoy Rexxy Rex. That is if you do not get a QB in the draft this year.

peyton manning playing for dan snyder?
If Peyton signs with the Redskins (or Jets for that matter) I bet he gets hurt again and retires. Those two teams just have too much bad luck for anything else to happen.
[quote user="Hail"][/quote]
Also, these pictures are very well drawn. Someone took a lot of time doing this. Clearly, they are very desperate to get Peyton. That's just sad.
I say bring it on. I *want* to see Peyton in the NFC east, so that eli can 2-0 him head-to-head and shut up the haters once and for all. I have nothing against the man himself, if anything Peyton is one of Eli's biggest fans. It's the ****bags in the media that swoon at the very mention of Peyton and refuse to think of Eli as anything but Elite that I hate.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

A "Cool Mom", more like a piece of trash. I do believe that perhaps shock therapy may help her, maybe not.

I know most guys would jokingly go "Wow I wish I had a Mom like that!!" the reality is that she is a poor excuse for a parent, and there are far too many like her that want to be their childs "friend" instead of a parent. The kids growing up today as so freaking screwed. We are quickly circling the drain!
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller


text: I have 4 TBH's built to Dennis' specs all were working great I really like the design. I went on vacation from 6 Aug to 19 Aug. have been having a problem with yellow jacks. I did my first in-depth inspection today and found completly empty nests in two hives. I had my father-in-law feeding a 1:1 by volume suger water mix while I was away. I have a pan in the bottom of the hive that holds 1 liter of syrup, no problems here they were taking a liter a day. My intention was to get them to build more comb I was worried that they did not have enough to make it thru the winter. There was no new comb ever and they really never seemed to fill the comb they had. we have been having seasonable weather compared to the north east US. I did have a robbing problem and reduced the entrances down to about one inch wide. I also noticed the yellow jacks were able to go in and out with little resistance. These are Elgon bees, the Carns I have defend the hive to the end. Why did they abscond? and how do I get them to draw out more bars they average 9 per hive.

ICT access kit
MONTEVIDEO (APC) – According to March 2008 statistics only
3.6% of internet users in the world were from Africa. Asia
contributed to 37.6% of internet users globally, but this
percentage is inflated by large numbers of users from China.
The number of fixed lines has not increased significantly,
and in some cases has even shrunk. And, in addition to this,
a new divide is emerging: the broadband (or "high speed
internet") divide. More
MONTEVIDEO (APC) – Business people, community activists
and policy-makers have an interest in as many people as
possible -including people in the lowest income-brackets-
having access to the internet, being able to check out important
information on websites and communicate cheaply via email
or internet phone. In order to reduce poverty and foster
inclusive development through affordable access to the internet,
APC is working on a resource kit for realising a universal
access agenda, present promising options, experiences, lessons
and opportunities in pro-poor access provision in developing
societies. More
LONDON (Computer Aid) – APC member Computer Aid has recently
caught the BBC's attention with its adaptive technologies
in Kenya. The BBC's Click covered Computer Aid's new focus

We recently implemented a new solution to keep spammers off the board that appears to be working VERY effectively! The solution is very simple. In addition to image verification, a new members is asked one of three very easy Star Wars questions:
Fill in the missing word in this famous Boba line from the Empire Strikes Back - "He's no good to me _____."
Fill in the missing word in this famous Vader line from the Empire Strikes Back - "If you only knew the _____ of the dark side."
Fill in the missing word in this famous Obi-Wan line from A New Hope - "May the _____ be with you."
This is NOT a test of a new member's Star Wars knowledge, as we believe almost anyone would be able to answer these questions, but has been put in place to thwart spambots that are capable of cracking our image verification security feature. So far, it appears this change has completely eliminated spambots from being able to sign up. If this continues, we will take away the waiting period we implemented for new members that doesn't allow them to post for 24 hours. I would like to thank eighteendelta for pushing the administration to find a better solution than spending copious amounts of time deleting the hordes of spammers that sign up daily.

Event Details
A Hotel Goes to Peace, Not War: The Story of the Mount Washington Hotel and the International Monetary Conference at Bretton Woods
NEW! This presentation covers the 1944 International Monetary Conference at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH. In preparation for the conference, the resort, which had been closed because of the war, was quickly reopened, hastily staffed and redecorated. It also traces the "world" from the close of WWI, with Germany rendered unable to survive, giving rise to Wiemar and of course the Third Reich, WWII, and on to Bretton Woods. One of the fascinating parts of the story is that the Chief US negotiator was also a master spy for the Russians, so all the US tactics at the conference were being fed to the Russians. Much of the economic turmoil of today is related to the topics at Bretton Woods: The World Bank, The International Monetary fund, and currency stabilization. Recently the original transcripts of the Conference have been discovered. Professor Lindblade has been able to incorporate this content into his presentation. This, plus information from locals who were there (or had relatives there) make this a a vital new presentation.

Dog Adoptions Suspended at Wisconsin Humane Society Due to Canine Distemper Case
Dog Adoptions Temporarily Suspended at Wisconsin Humane Society Due to Canine Distemper Case
MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) announced today that it will be temporarily suspending all dog adoptions at both the Milwaukee and Ozaukee Campuses after a puppy tested positive in Milwaukee for Canine Distemper. Cat and small animal adoptions will remain unaffected because the virus is not transmissible to cats or to the small animals available at the shelters. It is also not transmissible to humans.
"While this is an extremely rare incident, we can't be too careful when dealing with a virus as deadly as Canine Distemper," said Anne Reed, executive director. "Aside from the puppy who tested positive for the virus, we have a few other suspicious cases, so we are erring on the side of caution by suspending all dog adoptions pending test results."
Shelter veterinarians will be performing extensive testing to determine if any other dogs in the shelter have contracted the virus.
While the humane society doesn't expect the illness to affect recently adopted dogs, representatives are advising people to watch for signs that include runny nose, watery eyes, fever and lethargy, neurological symptoms like twitching, and to contact their vet and WHS if their dog does display those signs.
The humane societies have requested that anybody interested in surrendering a dog hold off a few days, or call to make an appointment.
What is canine distemper?
Canine Distemper is a very serious and often fatal viral illness that affects dogs and other members of the Canidae family. The illness can strike a dog at any age. But young, unvaccinated dogs and puppies are most susceptible to Canine Distemper. The virus is found in bodily secretions and spread via inhalation. Once inhaled, the virus can move to the lymph nodes and then to the blood, spreading to the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital and central nervous systems.
Canine Distemper cannot be cured, but it can be easily prevented. Puppies usually receive their first vaccination against the distemper virus at the age of about 6 weeks. The second vaccination is typically given a month later, or as recommended by a veterinarian. The Canine Distemper vaccine is recognized as one of the most effective vaccines and can offer protection within hours. The Wisconsin Humane Society vaccinates every shelter dog in its care and urges animal guardians to make sure their animals are up-to-date on vaccinations.
While symptoms vary from dog to dog, runny nose, watery eyes, fever and lethargy, neurological symptoms like twitching, callusing of nose/foot pads, vomiting, diarrhea and seizures can often be signs of distemper. The eye discharge, which can be mistaken for a simple cold, is often the first sign of a potential problem.
How is it transmitted?
The Distemper Virus is transmitted by coming in contact directly with an infected dog, or indirectly with its saliva or urine. The distemper virus can also spread through the air. Even the most stringent sanitation protocols cannot eliminate the risk at any shelter. Canine Distemper virus has an incubation period in which symptoms are not always recognizable upon intake.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Jul 25, 2010.
Thanks for the complimemt..........hopefully, ny team is good enough to be in that position.
Twas merely a question. But evidently the size ofyour head grows with each passing day.
Seemed like an odd question, so I took it as a compliment.
Andy Reid's son found dead............ I hope he takes some time away from the game to sort things out............and I don't mean just a week or two...... Andy Reid's son, Garrett, found dead at Eagles training camp | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports
That's really sad to hear. Andy Reid is a really good guy. I would be very surprised if he takes more than two weeks off at the maximum.
What do you think he should do Darth? I think he should at least consider retiring. I remember stating that when his boys were having difficulty a couple of years ago.
What do I think he should do...what do I think...???? What does it matter what the heck I think??? The man's kid died suddenly and unexpectedly. Tragic. I'm not going to offer an opinion as to what I think he SHOULD do. Knowing what I do about Andy Reid, I am guessing he will choose to get back to work soon. I think he should...and will...do whatever is best for him and his loved ones.
Since you started the Eagles thread, I would have respected your opinion on the matter. I didn't think that you were this close to the man to be so upset over my inquiry. I was hoping you would offer an opinion based on your knowledge of the man..... ...........not your close relationship to him. We always offer opinions on this forum. this is what the PF is all about. Next time...........if you're this upset............just PM me and let me know.
I'm not...nor was I ever "upset". However, I AM astounded that anyone would ask that question. Only Andy or maybe his wife can tell you that and I am of the belief that neither is giving it any thought right now. Why would you think that I would even form an opinion on that. None of my darned business. It just hAppened a few hours ago. I feel bad for the guy. That's all I know.
Seemed like a lot of tone in that post of yours, and that DID astound ME............ I only asked ONE question........not a litany of questions for you to ponder........... AGAIN..........if you were ASTOUNDED...........you shoulda PM me.............. The fact that you didn't ASTOUNDS me.............. I feel bad for the guy, and was STILL able to ask the question............... Darth's response............... I'm not...nor was I ever "upset". However, I AM astounded that anyone would ask that question. Only Andy or maybe his wife can tell you that and I am of the belief that neither is giving it any thought right now. Why would you think that I would even form an opinion on that. None of my darned business. It just hAppened a few hours ago. I feel bad for the guy. That's all I know. Possible different response............ Nemo, maybe that is something we could look at down the road. Just not ready to discuss it right now.............. See................less dramatic, but point made.
It's really very very sad.
Saw Coach Reid's press conference today. The guy showed so much class, humility and dignity. Very impressive.
Sad news. Love the new signature, Bill.
This is a big game for the Eagles as far as preseason games go. The game has been pretty much dedicated as their dress rehearsal. After this one we won't see much of the starters in the next two games of the preseason. Quarterback. Nick Foles did a great job last week against Pittsburgh. That is the guy they drafted instead of Kirk cousins. He looks like a tough kid with a great arm. But he is a rookie. He will be the number two in the game today. But after that who will it be at number two when the season starts? Eagles fans hope that Michael Vick remains healthy. He is probably the most important player on the team. But he never does stay healthy Does he? Trent Edwards has the most pro experience of all of the three potential backups. he looks okay but he was cut from Buffalo for a reason. Mike Kafka has been with the team the longest of the three backups. This is his third year. But he hurt his wrist and won't be ready until the regular season. I am hoping foles looks really really good tonight just like his debut in Pittsburgh. the eagles say that they trust mike Kafka but they played that worthless Vince Young last year over Kafka so they must not trust him that much even though another year has passed. I don't care if the team wins or loses tonight but my number one hope is that they stay healthy. My second hope is that they look good regardless of the final score. Third, I hope that Vic and foles look really good tonight. I don't know what will happen with the Eagles this year. I don't think anybody does. But with Vicks issues staying healthy you have to wonder. And the Eagles coaches just seem terrible. You've got Marty morningwheg running the offense for chrissakes. Then you've got juan Castillo on defense when he should be on offense. But at least they brought in that one guy who will be calling the shots behind the scenes I think. We shall see. We shall see. If they do not at least make the playoffs this year I think Andy Reid is finally done in Philly. And rightfully so. I am looking forward to the game they play against the Detroit Lions this season. I am looking forward also to seeing how that x Michigan guy Brandon Graham, whom the Eagles moved up in the first round to draft a couple of years ago does. Right now it looks like he has been vastly overrated. Just like the Wolverines every single year. What a waste so far. I wonder if he will even be able to earn a starting spot on the team? They moved up in the first round to get a defensive guy this year too...fletcher cox...but I don't think he will be a bum like the last one. But this year Brandon Graham has one more chance to show that he belongs on the team and can be the great player that he was hyped to be. I sure hope so. The Eagles will need him to step up. The lack of a preseason hurt the Eagles more than Most teams last year. They have a lot of new guys to the team. Then you had DeShawn Jackson and his contract woes. What a distraction that turned out to be. He had alligator arms and seemed to intentionally play like crap. Very immature. Then you had those three cornerbacks who were all studs but there was one too many. Now Asante Samuel is gone and the other two are looking pretty good so far. They blew so many leads last year it was sickening. I think this year they have come together as a team. But the proof will be in the pudding. GO EAGLES!
Vick's health wholly depends on how did they protect their QB, the way they did last season was hard for any QB to endure . IT WAS TERRIBLE.
Cousins out performing RG3 in preseason. Doubt he gets a start this year.
The Eagles lost their best player to injury before the preseason even began. He was also considered the best player in the entire league at the position. That was the guy that made sure Vick was protected. That was a huge loss. Of course for the second preseason game in a row Vick went down. The offense of line did not protect him on that play yesterday. The Eagles beat the patriots 27-17 in last nights exhibition game. the first string defense did not look good at all. Rookie quarterback Nick foals had another very good game. It is looking more and more like he will be the second string quarterback to back up Vick. The coach Andy Reid was seen on camera arguing with one of his players and one of his coaches. Who knows what that was about, but the Eagles our playing it down, of course. The Eagles won their last four games last year. But it didn't matter as getting them in the playoffs. They have won their first two exhibition games which means nothing in getting them into the playoffs. That is six in a row. Put can I get it together when it means something as far as the post season's concerned. I guess there was a funny moment last when diminutive trash talking wide receiver DeShawn Jackson stood over a guy talking about it when he tackled the guy after the dude made an interception against Jackson's team. The Eagles have a couple more weeks to get something straightened out. Then the real fun begins!
Vick sucked but the Eagles won by beating a bad team. Vick threw more interceptions than Andrew Maxwell did against Boise State. People in Philadelphia would be calling for his head if the Eagles had lost. Maybe he tried to throw the game to pay off some dogfighting bets he lost? J/K ;)
RG3 was a stud today.

7:00 PM Detroit Film Theatre
(Mexico/2012—directed by Antonio Mendez Esparza)
Returning home to a small mountain village in Guerrero, Mexico after years of working in the US, Pedro (Pedro de los Santos) finds his daughters older, and more distant than he imagined, though his wife is ecstatic to have him back. Having saved some of his earnings, he hopes to now finally make a better life with his family, and even to pursue his dreams on the side by starting a band. Work, however, remains scarce, and the temptation of returning north of the border – a place of hope that's always in his mind – remains as strong as ever. Using a cast of non-professionals, first-time director Antonio Mendez Esparza has, created a fresh, authentic, eloquently understated portrait of lives in a constant state of uncertainty, and the toll that it takes on one family. The film's richness of natural detail and delicately nuanced characterizations are reminiscent of the magic of Italy's neo-realist period, allowing each small, expressive moment to soar beyond cliché or easy stereotype.

Hometown Hero-Wayne Baldwin
Our latest Hometown Hero is Wayne Baldwin, the Veterans Service Officer in Parke County. The former Marine worked for the postal service for over 30 years before helping vets get benefits they deserve.
He says this job means three things to him. Actually getting assistance to vets and their families, assisting those who need to attend VA clinics and hospitals and just talking and getting to know the vets he serves.
Wayne says, "I would do this job for free but my reward is getting them the benefits they deserve."
Wayne was nominated by a woman who's battle with the system lasted years and she says he did so much to help her out. That's why Wayne Baldwin is our latest Hometown Hero.

Wayne Law to host Motion Day with Judge Bernard Friedman, Jan. 27
DETROIT (Jan. 3, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School and the Federal Bar Association are pleased to host Motion Day with Judge Bernard Friedman of the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, at 9:30 a.m.-noon on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011. The event will take place in the Law School's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium.
"We are honored once again to welcome Judge Friedman to the Law School," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "This event allows our students to experience a live courtroom session conducted by one of the federal judiciary's most highly regarded trial judges."
Added Professor Anne M. Burr, director of Wayne Law's Legal Research and Writing Program, "We are very lucky to have a jurist of Judge Friedman's stature at the Law School. First-year students, future litigators and those considering clerkships will be glad they took advantage of this opportunity."
Motion Day provides an opportunity for students to spend a day in federal court, without leaving the law school. Experienced counsel will argue actual pretrial motions before Judge Friedman, who will then rule or take the matters under advisement. Students are able to observe a variety of oral argument styles, as well as the procedures of the federal district court.
Motion Day is sponsored by the Legal Research and Writing faculty and kicks off the first-year Moot Court program. As part of that program, first-year law students at Wayne Law research and write an appellate brief for the federal court of appeals. They then argue the positions taken in their brief before three-judge panels consisting of local attorneys and judges.
Judge Friedman was appointed to the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, by President Ronald Reagan on April 20, 1988, and became chief judge in 2004. He served in that capacity until last year, when he passed the gavel to Chief Judge Rosen. Prior to 1988, Judge Friedman served as judge for the State of Michigan, 48th District Court, for six years.
Judge Friedman began his law career as assistant prosecutor in the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office before venturing into private practice as well as serving as city attorney for Inkster, Mich. He also served as a U.S. Army lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps from 1967 to 1968 on active duty and continued for five more years as a U.S. Army Reserve lieutenant in the JAG Corps from 1968 to 1973.
A native of Detroit, Judge Friedman earned his law degree from the Detroit College of Law in 1968. He is a member of both the Michigan Bar Association and the Oakland County Bar Association.

Nikh, this is not terribly informative -- give the labels of the
variables. (As the FAQ of the list says, don't assume that everybody
knows your data and your literature as well as you do.) You may not
like the idea of having weights like 10,000 if you are used to think
about the weight variable as something close to 1, or maybe something
close to 1/n. But if you want to estimate the total number of people
in the country that don't have access to clean water, those 10,000
weights are the right ones to use: the weight of 1 is going to give
you the total number of people in the sample that don't have access to
clean water, and you cannot put that sort of stuff into your country
report. Check DHS documentation again on the survey settings.
To my knowledge, stratification does not change in DHS from year to
year, so you can keep strata ID from other years if you can match the
clustdrs. If you have any new PSUs, it may not be possible to
determine where they are coming from though; you could create a
separate stratum for all of them. Finally, you can ignore
stratification whatsoever, and lose some precision/efficiency with

Publisher: Microsoft Games Studios
Developer: Microsoft Game Studios
Availability: 2004
Format: Win' 95/98/ME/2K/XP
Pricing: TBD
Welcome to Mythica, the new massively multiplayer online game from
Microsoft Game Studios. Here you are no common adventurerin Mythica,
you play the role of an Immortal, a warrior spirit recruited by the
Norse gods themselves! Ascending to the afterlife, you'll venture across
multiple planes of existence, gaining new powers, fame or infamyeven
your own worshippers as you transcend immortality to achieve true godhood!
Fighting side-by-side with the Norse gods, you'll find yourself swept
into ultimate battle against the Fire Giants, holding them back from
laying waste to all creation.
Key Features:
- Traverse fantastic Norse realms
In Mythica, players journey across the Norse planes of existence, each
one offering its own storyline, treasures, and dangers. From hallowed
Asgard, travel to the mortal planes of Midgard and Vanaheim, into the
caverns of Nidavellir, through the frozen wastes of Jotunheim, and on
to the fiery heart of Muspellheim itself.
- One true hero
With new Private Realms technology, Mythica redefines the massively
multiplayer category, combining the richness of a single-player role-playing
game with the social experience of a massively multiplayer game. Players
can choose to adventure with a band of fellow players in huge public
areas populated by other players or enter a Private Realm to take on
handcrafted, individual quests with destructible environments, cinematics,
and engaging storylines.
- War with absolute power
Transcending the mortal life brings exceptional reward. Players are
imbued with immortal powers to conquer entire hordes of creatures, as
well as to face creatures of legend. However, true power only comes
when players combine their energies to perform Rites: massive group
magics capable of leveling a mountain.
- Pledge to a patron god
When choosing their class, players can align with the Norse gods themselves
and gain powers accordingly. Pledge to Thor to share in his berserker
strength, or to Loki for his trickster guile. Gain enough glory for
your patron god, and you may one day find yourself fighting alongside
him or her in battle!
- Build worship
Powers can also be earned by answering the prayers of mortal factions:
Human, Alfar (elves), or Dvergar (dwarves). Helping these mortals will
grant special skills and resourcesand even determine a player's
look over time using a collectible appearance system. Those that you
help may even become worshippersdo right by them and you can become
their god!

Every week I drive 90 minutes to do just five minutes of stand up comedy. Sometimes I'm the funniest guy on earth. Sometimes nobody laughs. Sometimes I yell at drunk people. Then I drive back home. Three hours to do five minutes. Crazy? No, it's the most important thing I do all week. Why? Stand up comedy is Navy Seal training for becoming more interesting.

Best first slot booster
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: Best first slot booster
Its really up to your playstyle, if you're more of a stealth, sneaky player use cloaked. If you're an agressive player use Fleet Foot.
Re: Best first slot booster
Re: Best first slot booster
Fleet Foot used correctly aids tremendously in gunfights. You can throw off your opponents' aim with your fast strafing speed, keeping you in the fight longer. You can also pop in and out of cover fast with it too.
Disadvantages of FF are that it is less effective at longer ranges because it gets harder to adjust your aim over distance as you strafe. Stopping power (especially the AK) destroys the booster. Being shot first or being taken by surprise also can render FF moot.
Regeneration is great for an aggressive yet evasive playstyle (my preferred style). This booster shines if you have good map knowledge and positioning . You can get into fights and then find cover or run when you see the odds are stacked against you, recover fast, and be ready to fight again when your opponents think you're still weak.
The main disadvantage of Regen is that it can depend on the game's connection. There are times where my screen goes back to normal after taking damage and I go back out thinking i'm fine and die like I had no health at all. But to me this is very infrequent. Still, it's an issue.
So yeah, those are my recommendations.

Hey guy, l actually a lil' tired of cloaked 'cause my playing style has changed l played real agressive now and use gmal ak and fal so any ideas?
If you DON'T want to use Cloaked then the second most effective booster would probably be Fleet Foot for the AK-47 and the FAL-SS. I would personally recommend Scoped In for the G-MAL (although it is pretty difficult to level up ). I would NOT recommend using Regeneration ever solely because of lag (e.g. You think you're completely healed, but then some guy comes up and finishes you off with a punch because some how, in his world, you hadn't healed yet.), otherwise it might be a useful booster. Weapon Expert is a lot of fun, but you'll get called a try-hard a lot. Anyway, those are the only viable options for first slot boosters unless you're super hardcore and use a badge of honor/negative booster.
Wipe that smile off your face and get your tryhard face on!!!

Oh my: Paul Ryan opens the door slightly to running for president?
posted at 9:58 pm on June 2, 2011 by Allahpundit
Skip ahead to 8:10 for the money bit. I think HuffPo's overselling the significance of his "hesitation" here, but keep reading…
On Thursday evening, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan said yet again that he is not considering a run for the GOP presidential nomination. But when asked by Fox News' Neil Cavuto whether he would change course from past rejections of a presidential bid, Ryan hesitated before saying, "Look, I think I want to see how this field develops."…
Sources close to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus –- who is also from Wisconsin and is encouraging Ryan to run -– say that it is not just unilateral pressure from Priebus that is sparking rumors. They say Ryan is himself considering making a move…
Further, Ryan delivered a speech on foreign policy Thursday night in Washington to the Alexander Hamilton Society, the kind of thing a prospective candidate for president just might do. That drew some raised eyebrows from Stephen Hayes, a Fox News and Weekly Standard contributor.
Writing at the Washington Times, Jeffrey Kuhner dubs him the most formidable challenger to Obama on the political landscape and "a potential presidential candidate whom almost every Republican wants." We'll have Patrick Ishmael toss him into the next Hot Air candidate survey to gauge how true that is. I'm not remotely convinced he'd be the juggernaut some think he would be, partly because he's exposed on his bailout votes, partly because he'd still have to contend with Romney's fundraising advantage and social conservatives looking elsewhere for a champion, and partly because if support for his Medicare plan doesn't start to perk up soon, even sympathetic primary voters might regard nominating him as a catastrophe in the making. That last possibility is especially worrisome given the narrative it would set up for the general election, with Medicare reform having already been symbolically repudiated by Republicans in their own primary. Ryan's budget would be even deader than his future national ambitions, making defeat twice as devastating. He'd have to have near-total confidence that he could win the nomination in order to risk it, and even with Daniels/Barbour and their network behind him, I don't know how he could have that.
And yet, and yet, given current public impressions of the field, there is plenty of room for someone to jump in and shake it up. If Ryan's eager to see someone in there as devoted to fiscal discipline as he is, he's in luck: Supposedly, Chris Christie refused to give that Republican delegation from Iowa a flat no about running during dinner last night. He's the budget warrior's choice — now that he's, er, reimbursed the state for using their helicopter to take him to baseball games.

Untitled (Figures in landscape) epitomises de Kooning's mature combination of abstraction and figuration in a complex way. The amalgamation of these two distinct modes of working, which are usually considered contradictory, was a practice that de Kooning established as a life-long program and one that he uniquely mastered. He literally stuffs his picture plane full of shapes that billow with volume and, in an instant, deflate into cavernous voids. Working in an abstract mode, he deftly models contours, working his flat surface as a sculptor would handle three dimensions. The image shifts, contorts and pulses with each graphite stroke, charcoal smudge and pastel patch of colour.
Looking at the figurative elements of de Kooning's image, it is possible to make out two figures, both female—the one on the right stands, the one on the left is bent at the hips. The figure on the right shakes her mane of jet black hair, holding her elbows up in an awkward gesture and spreading her beastly, gnarled feet on the sand. The figure on the left, pink lips parted, bares her teeth. One giant green-clawed arm reaches across her body and seems to project out of the work towards the viewer in a menacing thrust. In the background the horizon is delineated in royal blue, indicating the stretch of sea at its point of meeting with the sky. In the upper left corner, a blue and red flag stands to mark the end of a safe swimming zone.
De Kooning's combination of abstraction and figuration excites our senses. We can feel the 'tremble' of his drawn line: the neon yellow and bright green pastel bursts on the surface like clouds of coloured smoke only to be pinned back to the paper and anchored by the black of the charcoal. The fleeting glimpses of hands, feet, grinning teeth and breasts snatch the viewer's attention, forcing the brain to work in recognition of human presence. Such a thrusting, contorting motion, punctuated by moments of identification, is a visual cacophony that could only be a Willem de Kooning spectacle. No other Abstract Expressionist was to achieve such mastery in abstract/figurative space-making.
De Kooning was in the habit of borrowing shapes and elements of his previous works, tracing them from one image to transplant on the next, like one would assemble a jigsaw puzzle. Untitled (Figures in landscape) borrows heavily from the poses practised by de Kooning in a set of charcoal drawings that the artist created in the late 1960s, often drawn with his eyes closed so as to free his physical execution.
Jaklyn Babington
As well as two oil paintings on canvas and two oils on paper, the National Gallery of Australia holds the artist's proof of the de Kooning – Harold Rosenberg collaboration Revenge (New York: Morris Gallery 1960), an early lithograph, Clam digger 1967. It also holds the set of artist's proofs of the lithographs made by de Kooning at the Hollander Workshop, New York, 1970–71, one of his bronze multiples (5/100) dated 1972, and a pastel, charcoal and pencil drawing Untitled (Figures in landscape) 1974.

Major Tool & Machine Continues Major Upgrades
This Indianapolis shop's extensive series of machine tool retrofits sheds light on how to best approach these projects.
The DSI machine project is the latest in an extensive series of retrofits at Major Tool & Machine. Here, Scott Elder of Indiana Automation installs wiring at the electrical enclosure of one of the previously upgraded machines, a Cincinnati U5.
Major Tool & Machine (MTM) is no stranger to extensive retrofit projects, and the company's latest order is no exception. Set for completion in 2015, the job involves equipping a DSI (Dorries Scharmann) turn-mill gantry machine with not only a new Siemens CNC and drive system, but also a new cross-saddle, ram, and five interchangeable cutting heads, among other components. This work follows close on the heels of a series of similar projects that the shop began to undertake in 2010, and it can be similarly informative for manufacturers considering their own rebuilds.
As detailed in this article from our May issue, these previous projects demonstrate that retrofits provide the opportunity to not just restore machines to like-new condition, but also to add new capabilities. Just as importantly, the article describes why rebuilding MTM's old machines would have been a complicated, involved process even if the company had less lofty goals. In fact, anything less than a total motion system upgrade wouldn't even have been an option.
The DSI machine rebuild also demonstrates the need to plan around downtime. The project is part of a multi-million dollar order from MAG IAS that also includes two new machine tools: A VTC 2500 and a U5 XL 2500 universal portal mill with turning capabilities. The rail-type U5 XL 2500, the newest and largest model of the U5 portal mill series, will initially replace production capacity during the rebuild the DSI machine. "This is an extremely complex project that involves much more than simply adding machine tools, because it is critical that we maintain our large-part mill/turn capacity when the DSI machine goes offline," says Steve Weyreter, chairman and CEO of MTM. "Part of our reputation is based on the depth of our capacity, so coordination and timing are vital when we take a critical machine offline."
Here are more specific details on the new machines and what the DSI machine retrofit project will entail.
