Example projects
Here are some typical project titles from recent years:
Furthermore for students hoping to continue into research, we have two major research groups: Human Geography Research Group; and Earth Systems Research Group. Many students complete projects related to ongoing research activity in these groups. See details of our research.
MSc Geospatial and Mapping Sciences, if fully completed with the award of an MSc, is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES)
Below are testimonials from some of our recent graduates:
"I would say the MSc gave me much needed direction and career focus. I found the large amount of continual assessment to suit my way of working. Staff in the department have over the years been of great assistance and I hope to stay in contact with the University through my professional life.
Another positive aspect of the course is the ICES and RICS accreditation. I was not until I entered the workplace I realised just how desirable it is to be a chartered surveyor and having already completed the theoretical aspect of becoming chartered, it is just a case of demonstrating my practical ability over the coming years.
As with every university course the end goal is to place yourself in the best possible place to gain employment. I was fortunate enough to be offered a place on a graduate training scheme through the Department's strong links with industry. It is amazing just how many professionals in the workplace have passed through the doors of the department at some stage.
With respect to living in Glasgow, the city provides everything a student could wish for, with a strong student culture and plenty of events and nightlife to keep you entertained."
Andy Nichol, former MSc Geoinformation and Mapping Sciences student, University of Glasgow, cohort 2008-9.
"I'm really glad that I decided to apply for the course, and thoroughly enjoyed the year. The syllabus covered very broad range of topics, and there were plenty of opportunities for practical work - I particularly enjoyed the field course at Ardentinny, and also the sessions where we
were able to try out different pieces of surveying equipment around the campus. The modules in 'Principles of Geospatial Information Systems' provided an opportunity to gain experience with some technical geospatial software. There was also a high degree of flexibility, which allowed me to focus on the areas that interest me most.
I used the University's Residential Services to find accommodation close to the main campus, which was affordable and easy to arrange, but I know that other students on the course were easily able to find accommodation privately."
Victoria Gregson, former MSc Geoinformation and Mapping Sciences student, University of Glasgow, cohort 2008-9.
"I can say that my time in Glasgow was time well spent. The MSc program was interesting and I learned many new things. Glasgow is a nice city and the people are friendly."
Skúli Magnús Þorvaldsson, former MSc Geoinformation and Mapping Sciences student, University of Glasgow, cohort 2008-9.
Career opportunities include land surveyor, engineering surveyor, hydrographic surveyor, GIS specialist, environmental consulting. There is currently a very high demand for surveyors, especially in hydrographic survey, in support of offshore oil and renewable energy engineering and maintenance. Several of the key employers visit us each year to recruit students. In addition to the offshore energy industry, land surveyors are in demand in many parts of the world to support mining operations, major civil engineering projects and to provide surveying services for Land Registration. A strong background in data capture, datums and co-ordinate systems, and data processing can also be of value in the GIS and environmental management sectors.

This article presents current research work on the development of BEBS (BIONETS Economic and Business Simulation Model). This model is used to illustrate how in pervasive agent-based networks dynamic agents engage in distributed mobile communication exchanges that carry a potential, non-quantified value to be determined. This value can be monetised either as advertisement or as share of revenue profit for an external content or service provider wishing to distribute information over the network. The strength of the simulation model is to enable different ways in which the value of communication events can be quantified and that are not normally considered in conventional business approaches. Our simulation can therefore facilitate the exploration and development of alternative business models based on heterodox economic perspectives such as the economics of sharing, gift economy, and economic sociology applied to mobile networks.

Fate/Zero 19
Happy Mother's Day, Kiritsugu.
While I can admire Kiritsugu's ability to 'cut' off his feelings as he pulls the trigger, it's a different matter for the man himself. While his origin allows to 'cut' off his feelings, but 'tying' them back together to the man himself is where he can't seem to resolve it properly.
Every time he chooses these drastic measures, apparently for the sake of the most effective, efficient way of doing it, it just feels to me he's totally given up on the world and doing it out of spite. As if pulling a tantrum that never really ends. Towards the world that denied him a beautiful place in it. And where justice is present and all encompassing.
It's like what Natalia says, he's just too much of a machine in one way. But additionally, he's too human in the other way. In that manner, Shirou feels a lot more respectable to me now.


text: A search on this site produced no relevant hits, and one an AA timed out multiple times (so what's new?). Â For those shoe experts amoung us, is the C&J Handgrade line superior in materials and/or construction to the Grenson Masterpieces? Â The prices are roughly comparable, and both are appealing. Â The Grenson Felstead is a great looking shoe, but I'm hesitant to buy given my lack of knowledge about this manufacturer.

TLOUR Walking is buggy
Is it just me of is the walking/crouching/running kind of broken. I walk for a bit then stutter then continue. Is this a bug or is my controller broken.
Re: TLOUR Walking is buggy
If I remember correctly from the PS3 version (and also noticed in the Remastered version). There are certain areas that slow your walking/sprinting down, most likely to keep up with the NCPs or listen to their conversations. There are parts of the game that 'feel' like they should be slowed down, like when there's no combat and not much of a threat around, it wouldn't make sense to always be running in real life.
Unless your talking about something totally different (a glitch), I think the game was meant to do that to give it a more realistic/cinematic feel.
Re: TLOUR Walking is buggy
no, on parts like even combat it stutters
Re: TLOUR Walking is buggy[ Edited ]
Im having the same problem also. As so as I started using Sarah I noticed that something was wrong. It took me like 5 minutes to get down the stairs, because she kept doing this shuffle. What is weird though, is that when you move left and right, at least for me, the movement is ok. I hope they fix this soon, because it really breaks up the beauty of the game when you just keep doing the harlem shake.
Re: TLOUR Walking is buggy
What seems to "fix" it for me is to pull the L3 stick and pop it out sort of and that seems to help a bit.
Re: TLOUR Walking is buggy
Re: TLOUR Walking is buggy
Posted on another thread like this but it seems to be a controller issue - maybe....
I remote played from my Vita and have no issues. Switch back to the controller, and the issue arises again. So, I just ordered another controller from Target ($10 off with store pickup) and will write back with results.

the plane of the Four Great Kings, of the Realm of the Thirty-three, Yama World,
the Contented Devas, those enjoying own creation, those with power over others

All those deities were possessed of faith so that on dying here they were reborn
there, and such faith is present in me too. And those deities were possessed of

of faith. He has much happiness and gladness. And if he penetrates no higher, he is
at least headed for a happy destiny.

Typically, the Brahma worshipped in Thailand appears to be the Brahma Sahampati. This is borne out by the kathas used to honour him, particularly at Bangkok's Wat Erawan and those projects consecrated by the monks of Wat Sakae. The Vegas model looks like the Erawan version, but that is not conclusive of that Brahma's identity - there's definitely a Hindu/Puranic version floating around Thailand as well.

Canadian Football Hall of Fame, 1963
"Indian" Jack Jacobs (August 7, 1919 – January 12, 1974) was an American and Canadian football player in the National Football League and Western Interprovincial Football Union. He was a charter member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1963.
Early life
Jacobs was born in Holdenville, Oklahoma, and played high school football at Muskogee High School. He was popularly known as "Indian Jack" because he was a Creek man, at a time when the use of such terminology was not seen as offensive.
College career
Jacobs played college football at the University of Oklahoma. Considered a phenomenal all-round player and starting quarterback, Jack averaged 47.84 yards per kick in 1940 (which remains an OU record) with a career average of 42.10. He holds the record for passing percentage in a game completing 8 out of 8 passes (1.000)(OU v. Kansas 1941). Jacobs accumulated the most offense yardage in 1940/1941 (junior & senior years). As a defensive back, Jacobs is tied with seven other players for the record number of interceptions in a game (3)(1941 OU v. Marquette).
Professional career
National Football League
Jacobs was drafted in the second round of the 1942 NFL Draft. He played quarterback, defensive back, tailback, halfback, punter in the National Football League with the Cleveland Rams (1942–1945), the Washington Redskins (1946) and the Green Bay Packers (1947–1949, see (http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Letters-To-Lee-Remmel/94cefa36-5aa4-11df-a3b6-528cc843f916)and led the league in punting in 1947. Also see (http://www.nfl.com/players/jackjacobs/careerstats?id=JAC740296).
Western Interprovincial Football Union
Jacobs then joined the Western Interprovincial Football Union as a quarterback for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1950–1954), where he won the Jeff Nicklin Memorial Trophy in 1952. Though Jacobs did not invent the forward pass, he is widely recognized as one of the key figures in making the forward pass an integral part of professional football.[1] His exciting passing game drew thousands of fans to Blue Bombers games, instigating the need for the city to build a larger stadium, Winnipeg Stadium (now called Canad Inns Stadium).[2]
While with the Blue Bombers, Jacobs completed 709 of 1,330 passes for 11,094 yards and at that time the all-time leading passer for the Western Interprovincial Football Union, the predecessor for the CFL's West Division. In 1951, he became the first professional football player to throw for 3,000 yards in a season with 3,248. Also that season he was first player to throw for more than 30 touchdowns with 33. The next season Jacobs threw 34 touchdowns and amassed 2,586 aerial yards. In an era of passing that very often saw quarterbacks with more interceptions than touchdowns, Jacobs had 104 touchdown passes to only 53 interceptions.
With Jacobs as their starting quarterback the Bombers compiled a record of 46 wins, 27 losses and three ties. They lost the Grey in 1950 to the Toronto Argonauts (13-0) and again in 1953 to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (12-6).
Winnipeg Stadium, built in 1953, was nicknamed "The House That Jack Built" because of Jacobs' contribution to the success of the team. Previously the team played its home games at Osborne Stadium, across Osborne Street from the Manitoba Legislative Buildings where The Great-West Life Assurance Company has its head office. Since Jacobs' time, the CFL has become known for its fast, wide-open passing game, a feature that distinguishes it from the more run-dominated National Football League.
Jacobs was twice a Grey Cup finalist, was named the all-western quarterback twice, and was one of the original inductees to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in June 1963. He was also inducted into the American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame in 1977, and Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 2002, the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in 2004. Several records he set while at the University of Oklahoma still stand.
In 1955, Jacobs was a scout for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and later, was a coach for the London Lords of the Ontario Rugby Football Union (ORFU) for two seasons. He also worked as an assistant coach for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes and the Edmonton Eskimos.
Jacobs was also an actor who played a professional football player in the 1948 movie, Triple Threat. Jacobs died in 1974 in Greensboro, North Carolina from a sudden heart attack.

Starsky and Hutch
From Fan History Wiki
Starsky and Hutch originally aired in the United States from 1975 to 1979. The show was remade as a movie with a 2004 release.
The show's first fanzine appeared in 1977. By 1980, five years after the show first came on the air and one year after it left the air, the Starsky and Hutch community in England veered into the land of slash. This happened when Forever Autumn was published in March. Forever Autumn was the first piece of slash to be written in this community. According to Langley and email@example.com, this caused a disruption in the community as members worried about the reaction of the actors, networks and producers to this material. They feared that those parties would attain these materials and begin a crackdown to prevent the proliferation of this material.
The Starsky and Hutch, like most media fandoms of the 1980s, was mostly middle class in identification. And like most media fandoms, it had its homophobic moments. It also lacked very visibly out and proud gays and lesbians in the community. The early community tried to deter slash or keep it underground out of fear. One example of this dates to 1981 when Code 7 was published. The zine was published anonymously as there was a real fear in the American fan fiction community that the anti-slash component of the fan fiction community would send the material to the producers of the show and create other problems for those slash writers in their real lives. According to me_n_thee, the zine contained the following disclaimer: "This is a privileged and private publication; it was sent to you because you know the value and need for discretion. You are being trusted; if you misuse this trust, you will be harming not only the contributors, but all of S/H fandom. Please keep this zine entirely to yourself! Thank you." Slash fen in the community felt very threatened by others. They feared fen outings them to their employers and being otherwise harassed. (Boyd)

Below is a partial timeline of events that took place in the Starsky and Hutch fandom.
1975 to 1979
- Starsky and Hutch was in its first run on television.
1984 to 1988
- Personal computers, aided by their word processing programs, started to have an impact on the publication of fanzines. They, along with the growth of coping services, led to a growth in the number of fanzines and created a situation where more fen could produce their own, high quality fanzines. (Langley)

Subject: Re: Requested information on K/S
Feminists who are interested in erotica written by women for women should find themselves very able to "stomach" K/S. They should check out the rave review of K/S written by SF feminist author Joanna Russ in a fanzine namec NOME, "Another Addict Raves about K/S." Natrually there is a spectrum of material-from mild to X-rated, from well-written to total trash. This material is widely circulated, but not "Published" in the ordinary, or profit-making sense, and is in fact underground material of great interest to the participants-the writers, readers and editors. Unfortunately, attention paid to K/S for its feminist
importance, may be damaging to fandom as a whole, if Paramount gets too interested in it. Starsky/Hutch and Star Wars fandoms were severely restricted by
paranoid producers. Joanna has refused to supply the names of K/S editors and writers to the editors of Penthouse FORUM--but FORUM is interested. As for the writers involved, writing fan material is wonderful fun, and may just provide the impetus for writers to break into publication, as a number of fan writers have. While it is true that REAL SF writers look ascance at Trek as formula
fiction, the first item of importance to most aspiring writers is GETTING PUBLISHED. Trek is a "hungry" market.
- The Starsky and Hutch Lending Library was founded in 1990 by Linda L Cabrillo in order to facilitate the sharing and preservation of out of print fanzines.
- By this time, Starsky and Hutch fen were using the term beta reader on mailing lists.
- On January 1, 2004, the LiveJournal community starsky_hutch was founded by KimberlyFDR. [1]
- The Starsky and Hutch movie (starring Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller came to theaters.
- The Starsky and Hutch March Media Tour, in conjunction with the movie, took place. Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul did many US and UK interviews to promote the movie and their cameo in it.
According to nakeisha in a June 24, 2007 comment on fanthropology in regards to the slash, het, gen ratio in fandom:
- Starsky & Hutch - predominantly slash (I think) and only one pairing [2]

Long Beach Prepares for Long Recovery After Sandy
Long Island's Nassau County is among the hardest hit areas from last week's massive storm. Tens of thousands of residents still don't have power, and several areas have suffered damage from downed power lines, trees, and flooding — especially in Long Beach.
Newsday reporter James Madore lives in the city's south shore, and he's been writing about storm recovery for the paper.
"I saw the ocean waters meet the bay, and you could see the waves colliding with each other right in the middle of the street," he told WNYC's Soterios Johnson, of the night the storm hit.
The city is currently under a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and has extra security, as it recovers from the storm.
"During the day, Long Beach is getting back to normal, in a way," Madore said. "People are dragging debris out from their homes and putting it on the curb, people are going to get donations at the Ice Arena of warmer clothing, and they're also lining up to register with FEMA."
The city's sewer system is working, but its water is still being tested by the county.

Political opponents of the UPA swung into action to claim the credit for the Centre's volte-face on convicted lawmakers' ordinance with a few parties exploiting this opportunity to dub Manmohan Singh as a "weak Prime Minister".
"It has nothing to do with morality, legality, validity or constitutionality. It is the sheer power of dynasty before which the Prime Minister and the cabinet meekly submitted," said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad after the cabinet withdrew the ordinance on Wednesday. The BJP had rushed to President Pranab Mukherjee last week opposing the ordinance.
CPI's Gurudas Dasgupta too, hit out at the PM: "He has once again proved to be a shadow PM." The CPI(M), however, adopted a milder tone. Party's politburo member Sitaram Yechury said better sense has "finally prevailed" in the government as some parties had opposed the government's plan to bring an ordinance.
Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party slammed the UPA government for its U-turn on a "well thought out" decision. Party MP Naresh Agrawal said the cabinet's decision also signalled that "one individual is bigger than the government", in a jibe directed at Rahul Gandhi.

Chris purchased this house in 2004
This lake home is like no other, very rustic decor with an unbelievable view. Has 2 balconies and a swing on the porch to watch the lake boats and kids play.
Very private, in its own subdivision, private roads, gated area.
Can't wait to get back and enjoy this house again
Incredible stay! The view of the lake was fantastic from the living room and two private decks. The house provides seclusion, while being within close driving distance to Catfish Bay marina and Chickasaw Pointe Golf Course. We thoroughly enjoyed the unique fishing decor in the house. Highly recommended.
Thank you Chris for making a very memorable Labor Day Weekend possible.
The house exterior and interior are very well done. The house has all the amenities provided that you need for a short or long stay. Beds are comfortable and all areas of the house were very well kept and clean.
Amazing view of the water. Very close to excellent fishing. Beautiful home and couldn't ask for a better person to work with for booking and questions.
A beautiful wooded site. Nice two story lake house with large master suite and large windows throughout the house with a great view of Catfish Bay. Enjoyed our three night stay!
For the last three years, our group has taken a vacation together and this has been the best one yet. This is a beautiful home with absolutely gorgeous views. The surroundings are so quiet and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and yes, the fishing was GREAT!

Where I stayed
Hostel Granado
In terms of our final three days there isn�t any special to add; we decided to get a hostel in San Telmo (the tango district) and basically wandered all day to kill time. We had already seen most of the city and were so anxious to get home that we couldn�t find any motivation to really explore. On top of that, winter is hastily approaching in Buenos Aires and there is a chilly wind keeping us from walking around too much. Mixed with our anxiety to get back is also a quiet sadness and reflection of our time over the past five months. I reminisce over the places we visited, lessons learned (both good and bad) and different cultural aspects such as music, food or customs. All these things randomly surface to the front of my mind; some I will greatly miss, others I will be happy to get away from but regardless, they all added a peice to this thoroughly rich experience I had and shared with Becca. In these last moments I try and summarize all the peices, to come away with some personal meaning to the whole trip and give it closure
WOW....we did it
Unfortunately, as I suspected, that epiphany I hoped for never happened - I actually feel like I�m going home even more confused about what I want to do with my life. This trip and the hundreds of bus rides has given me so much (too much) time to ponder such things, and yet at the end of the day all I really know is that I don�t want to ever stop traveling, and I hope I have the opportunity to explore more parts of the world in my lifetime. I mean, according to Travelpod our trip only comprises 3% of the world. Hellooo...so much more to see :) Even though I haven�t figured some things out I must admit that this trip has been good for me in other ways, like facing fears. I can think of over a dozen times I semi-seriously feared for my life/safety on this trip - and those same things always turned out to be the best memories and most fun - whether it was ziplining through Costa Rica, or sandboarding down the worlds largest sand dune in Peru, or paragliding in Colombia, or the claustrophobic mine tour in Bolivia - we tried so many different, exhilarating things and I�m glad. Life is too short, as they say. I feel like I am coming home now a little older and a little wiser - we lived a lot of life in a short period of time, if ya know what I mean. I don't think I will ever forget the horrifying night my bag was stolen - it still hurts when I think about it - but that, like so many other things, has been a lesson for me that I�ll take with me on all my future travels.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about our trip is that Asaf and I have been together basically 24/7 for almost 5 months and we don�t hate each other - in fact, we almost sickeningly adore each other (most of the time.) And for THAT, more than anything else, I am grateful. I got to have the adventure of a lifetime with my bestest friend in the world and I know that not only are both of us coming out of this stronger as individuals, but also together. There is no one else I would have wanted to attempt this trip with and I�m so happy I had him with me to share the best moments and help me through the hard ones. I know, I know...that sounds cheesy. But anyway, I�m a lucky girl.
But alas, all trips must come to an end. And I�m ready. There are some things I will NOT miss, for sure, first and foremost being my backpack which could not possibly be any more full - its like a fat man with a bulging stomach. I look forward very much to coming back to my beloved things and dressing up and going out on the town with the girls - things I�ve been deprived of. It will be weird indeed to sleep in the same bed consistently, to have a clean bathroom with reliably hot water and no flip flops required, to not have to steal and stash toilet paper in my purses because bathrooms don�t provide it. To have clothes not full of holes and ratty. To eat a real, home cooked meal. To hear and understand people speaking, everywhere. There is no place like home, and I miss it and the people that comprise it more than you know. And so, it is time for this blog to end. But don�t you worry - there will be more in years to come. Now one simple question remains - where to next?

Ok so my vacation started today and i'm excited cuz its my b-day on thurs.

Needless to say thats my next reviewed game and i hope its a nostalgia ridden fest of blood, guts and boobs.

Emirates is at the centre of every international rugby match through its sponsorship of the IRB's referees.
The elite pool of officials who take charge of the sport's biggest matches wear Emirates on their shirts, ensuring we are with them at the heart of the action on the pitch - and on the touchlines too!
In January 2014, Emirates extended its sponsorship of the International Rugby Board's (IRB) match officials until the end of 2019, which includes for the first time in Rugby World Cup (RWC) history the rights to brand the shirts of match officials on the field of play during the tournament. Since the inception of RWC in 1987, no brand has ever featured on the playing kits of players or match officials.
The airline also sponsors the Rugby World Cup 2015 and 2019, Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens, Emirates Airline Glasgow Sevens as well as US Rugby Sevens and XVs teams.

One of the main differences between the girls and the boys who took part in the research was the way in which they use the Internet. Unlike the girls, who use the Internet mainly to keep in touch with friends, the boys questioned in this survey tend to use the Internet for playing computer games. The girls differ from the boys in that they tend to spend more time keeping in touch with friends on the telephone or on social networking websites. Compared with the boys, the girls spend much more time chatting to friends on the telephone. On average, the girls spend four hours a week chatting to friends on the phone. In contrast, very few of the boys spend more than five minutes a day talking to their friends in this way. The boys prefer competitive sports and computer games, whereas/while the girls seem to enjoy more cooperative activities, such as shopping with friends.

text: I have seen those videos before, and Have gone over what I would have done many times. It seems in the first vid that you would be shot or even killed if you tried anything from a CC, or even an OC. In the second,you would of had a better chance of being able to do something, just because of the distraction caused by the others. I have to think that in these cases that CC would give an element of surprise. In both vids, the BG was determined to get his job done...Nice post.

Date of Stay: August, 2010
What a beautiful campground! The moonrise was gorgeous and the pull-through site was so easy! Thanks a ton!
Date of Stay: August, 2010
I drove our 36 footer with NO problems. Although the roads appear intimidating and are more narrow and curvy than I was accustomed, the turns are nicely wide and trees are trimmed of any heavy branches or anything that would mar our RV. Because I am not a confident backer, staff helped me back into our lot the first time. After that, I had no need! Even with double slide-outs, we had plenty of room for campfire, table, bikes, tiki-torches and kids. For this trip, I did not pull a car and drove the RV daily. Access to our site (#14) was not a problem. The staff was not just polite and professional, but friendly and personable as well. They were patient and helpful at the boat docks with the kids, not just "suck-uppy" to us adults. This is not a 'country club' resort, nor is that what we wanted. It is a GORGEOUS wooded campground with private lots. Owner and his staff do a wonderful job of making you feel welcome and 'served' without encroaching on your 'space'!

New Interface Thursdays: Looking back and a chance to meet the team
May 28th, 2009 | Published in Google Adwords
With more AdWords advertisers using the new interface each week, we'd like to take a moment to recap the topics we've covered on New Interface Thursdays these past two months.
We started the series with a list of learning resources including the new AdWords interface website. The next week we showed you how you could use keyboard shortcuts to manage your campaigns more efficiently. We then wrote about how you can use filters and customize columns to help you focus on the data that's most important to you. Most recently, we took close looks at both the Keywords tab and Networks tab.
If you want to take the next step in mastering the new interface, and if you plan to attend SMX Advanced in Seattle, Washington next week, you can learn about the new interface from the people who built it. The new AdWords interface team will be doing a deep dive into the new interface and demonstrating some of the latest tools we're adding to AdWords:
When: Tuesday, June 2, 11 AM to 12:15 PM
Where: Sound Conference Room, Bell Harbor Convention Center, Seattle, WA
If you'd like to attend our session, you'll need to register for a free expo hall pass. We hope to see you at the session, and please visit us at booth #32 and tell us your thoughts about the new interface.

If he comes back, plays up to expectations and stays relatively healthy, nobody will give a rat's arse about any of that crap.
absolutely but that seems a big IF right now
quote:which new year?
At some point after the New Year . . . a sixteen game winning streak. You'll see.
Before the surgery, however, the Hornets attempted to sign Gordon to a contract extension, offering him a five-year contract at an average, a source said, of $13 million despite the fact that Gordon had played in only two games. The deadline to sign was 11 p.m. central time Jan. 25. "He wanted $13.5," said the source. According to someone with knowledge of the negotiations, the Hornets offered a $500,000 bonus each year of the five-year deal if Gordon played 62 of the 82 regular-season games. Gordon declined, meaning he would become a restricted free agent and solicit offers on the open market.
"I just got to see the overall picture of what the future is going to be like. We can be possibly good.
That's not what they're saying.
he Hornets offered a $500,000 bonus each year of the five-year deal if Gordon played 62 of the 82 regular-season games.
I'm saying Thrillho doesn't care about that part. The 13 he was offered for 2 games is what he's talking about.
It's not like there aren't other issues there . . . like Gordon getting a 5 year extension. If he was getting 5 years at the max on the table, there's no way to reject it unless you were planning on signing the QO . . . it's the max possible and he was restricted
Demps, who saw Gordon work out this week, said he could be back in the lineup in 7-10 days.
so they didn't feel he was worthy of a max deal until someone else gave him one?
and he did what he had to do to go get that max deal?
Why wouldn't the hornets want to save money?

I moved from West coast to East, to a new life without much music. My focus turned towards the internet because as social media was getting popular, I wanted to see what was happening with music in that space. I heard about NetNewMusic and Steve Moshier's shorties group within. On my first visit to the group, a minute-a-day gauntlet was thrown down by (I think) Dan Stearns. A bunch of us (you know who you are) lasted more than a month each uploading a one minute piece a day. Every day for me was about getting my minute done, listening, and getting inspiration for the next day.
Fast forward to now, some of the remnants of that original trip along with other like-minded souls have a home on facebook as the society For ShortY new music. We have done our own events, but the idea for us to infiltrate sound-in was floated. I feel it apropos for the society to dry our panties on the rod of Sound-In. It feels full circle to me.
Anyway, short pieces from the society will be infiltrating Sound-In during the February 20 – 22 event and roughly four times a year after that as long as we behave ourselves. I will suggest our pieces for the first event be <60 in memory of that project that got me involved, and also eventually introduced me to ImprovFriday/Sound-In. Most of our troupe is known to the Sound-In community, but welcome them anyway! We look forward to a future of bright co-existence and co-inspiration!

Looking forward to the Infiltration! :) Glad this has come to fruition.

SHOREHAM — "A farmer is always trying to figure out how to be independent," said Shoreham orchardist Bill Suhr.
For Suhr, co-owner with wife, Andrea Scott, of Champlain Orchards, the foundation of that independence rests on sustainable energy.

BRISTOL — Bristol Beverage and Redemption Center is now catching some rays — 24.795 kW worth, to be exact.
With 87 roof-mounted solar panels installed in mid-April (plus two heat pumps), owner Adam LaPerle expects to cut his electricity bill in half and to eliminate the use of propane-based heating in his retail space entirely.
BRANDON — The town of Brandon has received a Certificate of Public Good for a 500-kilowatt, net metering solar array located in the town industrial park.
The Public Service Board, which authorizes and regulates all power-generating projects in Vermont, issued the required CPG for the Brandon array on March 17.
MIDDLEBURY — A critical update to Vermont's Comprehensive Energy Plan, due to the Legislature by Jan. 1, offers some provocative numbers that paint an intriguing image of what the Green Mountain State could look like in 35 years.
For instance, to meet the goal for renewable energy generation, as many as 13,000 more acres of solar arrays would have to be raised across the Vermont landscape (that equals about 1 percent of all Vermont land currently in farming or a little less than one-quarter of 1 percent of all land in Vermont).
We understand that folks can have preferences over the use of property owned by their neighbors. But facts do matter. In a recent opinion piece ("Solar energy projects should be done properly" Nov. 9, 2015), the Rev. Dr. Stephanie Allen made assertions that are not true about her neighbor's pursuit of a Community Solar Array.
Put yourself in this scenario: Two years ago you buy a home in rural Addison County with scenic views to the west overlooking farm land to the Adirondacks. You buy in Vermont because you value its traditions of local control and its emphasis on maintaining an environmental and scenic aesthetic.
PANTON — Two new 500-kilowatt solar arrays are being proposed in Panton, both on land owned by the Vorsteveld Farm.
Green Lantern Group Director of Project Development Sam Carlson met with the Panton selectboard on Oct. 27 to give board members a heads-up on the company's plans for the proposed arrays, one off Panton Road across from Basin Harbor Road, and one across Jersey Street from the main Vorsteveld barn.
FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard and more than a dozen town residents at a meeting last week heard from a company that is proposing the latest solar power project in the town, a 500-kilowatt array near the intersection of Basin Harbor and Button Bay roads.
PANTON — Green Mountain Power is proposing to install and operate an $11 million, 4.99-megawatt solar farm in Panton. The project would be more than twice the size of the largest existing Addison County arrays and is also as large as any such venture GMP is proposing in Vermont.
The site proposed is 40 acres of a 327-acre parcel that is part of Panton's largest dairy operation, the Vorsteveld Farm. The site lies in the town's north end, between Panton Road and the Ferrisburgh town line, east of Jersey Street and west of Slang Creek.
FERRISBURGH — An opponent of Basin Harbor Club's 150-kilowatt solar array last week won a Vermont Supreme Court decision against the Public Service Board.
However, the decision addressed procedure, not the issues at the heart of the case, such as the array's impact on the lakefront neighborhood.

The movie slate for 2009 has some upcoming family-friendly releases that look very promising.
"Inkheart," based on the book by Cornelia Funke and opening January 23, stars Brendan Fraser as a man who has the power to bring the characters from books to life.
In March we have "Race to Witch Mountain," not a remake but a sort of semi-sequel to the Disney classics Escape to Witch Mountain and Return from Witch Mountain. Duane "The Rock" Johnson plays a man who has to protect two children with mysterious powers from the bad guys who want to capture them.
I am really looking forward to the April release of the new Hannah Montana movie!
And of course we're already counting the moments until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, coming out in July.

Too Much of a Good Thing
€ 25,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Februar 1996
BeschreibungBefore Madonna, before Marilyn, there was Mae. The impact of Mae West - through her films, attitude, and aphorisms ("Too much of a good thing can be wonderful"; "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?") - continues to reverberate through American popular culture more than fifteen years after her death. In Too Much of a Good Thing, Ramona Curry examines the interplay between West's bawdy, worldly persona and twentieth-century gender and media politics. Although West has remained an important figure, her image has fulfilled varied cultural functions. In the thirties, she was a lightning rod for debates over morality and censorship. In the seventies, the complexity of her portrayal of gender made her a controversial figure for both the gay rights and feminist movements. Curry not only analyzes the symbolic roles West has occupied, arguing that the entertainer represents a carefully orchestrated transgression of race, class, and gender expectations, she also illustrates how icons of pop culture often distill contested social issues, serving diverse and even contradictory political functions. A pithy and innovative look at what Mae West means, Too Much of a Good Thing is must reading for fans, film buffs, and anyone interested in how popular culture evolves and circulates in the United States.

Album of the Week - U2's Achtung Baby
July 26, 2011 , 4:07 PM by Fiona Parker
Can you believe it's been two decades since U2 released 'Achtung Baby'?
Yes, two decades since Bono and the band changed their musical direction from stadium rock ('Rattle and Hum') to a more industrial, electronic feel, and Bono wore those shades and became The Fly.
The band then embarked on their Zoo TV tour which saw stadiums full of people transfixed by the multi-media extravaganza of sensory overload which became central to the group's 1990s reinvention.
Word has it that U2 are planning to release a deluxe edition of the album to celebrate twenty years since its release, so we thought we'd revisit the album this week.
From the opening radio static bars and beats of 'Zoo Station' to the slower, meandering 'One' and 'Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World' and through the higher-octane 'Even Better Than the Real Thing,' one can see why this album is highly regarded among the members of U2, why it won a Grammy, and why it's one of their most successful records.
Given the 'new technology' sound of the time, one may expect it to feel more retro these days than it actually does. It sounds contemporary. 20 years on, Achtung Baby's still got it!

Late last Friday after the local union officials got to hear the details about the new GM-UAW contract details started emerging about future product plans. It looks like part of the cost for the company to get the union to make some concessions was to commit new products to a bunch of plants. At first we only heard about the assembly plants with the news that the Volt would be produced in Detroit and the small RWD Alpha platform would go to Lordstown OH. Now more of the contract is coming out including commitments to parts plants.
Of interest to Corvette fans is a line item for the Toledo OH transmission plant which reads "RWD DCT for NG Corvette will be allocated (2012)". DCT typically refers to dual clutch transmission. That means the C7 'Vette will almost surely get a DCT. Another product for Toledo and the Baltimore transmission plant is the RWD Gen II Hybrid transmission for 2011/12. This could be an updated, and hopefully lower cost version, of the Two-Mode that could be applied to other applications. Hmmm... do I hear hybrid Zetas? One plant that isn't getting new product is the Livonia, MI engine plant that produces the Northstar V-8s used in Cadillacs when that engine dies in 2010. GM announced a new V-8 engine earlier this year that would be built at the Tonawanda, NY engine plant and the Livonia plant will close
