The much awaited Big B starrer, Teen Patti has released its rocking music on the hottest radio station, Radio Mirchi. With a talented musician duo of Salim-Sulaiman, what more can one expect? Present at the release, were the musicians, along with Amitabh Bachchan, producer Ambika Hindhuja, director Leena Yadav and debutant actors Dhruv, Vaibhav, Siddhrath and Shraddha Kapoor. Senior Bachchan found the concept of launching the music on radio station highly innovative.
Teen Patti is a niche album because many of the songs are in English, but if you like it, you could listen to it all day. Though we know very little about the film plot, it is said that, the story tells about a mathematician who has cracked a formula that is applicable to the card game Teen Patti and the journey of lies deceit and betrayal begins.
Title track" Teen Patti Ke Gulam" is upbeat and the trance music reminds one of the Acid Factory soundtrack.
"Intezar Me Chupa kahin" starts off slow before picking up pace and reaches to a crash-driven rock anthem. The drum work is fluid, guitar solos are good and vocals are rough enough to pass off as on out and out hard rock number, oscillating between two extremities of the genre.
The remix is interspersed with Amitabh Bachchan's "Khel hai baby/khel hai". The beats are very catchy and it is a great song for salsa. Intezar me Chupa Kahi is done by Naresh Kamat with good tone and pitch and it is rock song, guitar are very impressive. There is an element of suspense in the song also. Newbie Sonia Sehgal takes over with full-throated English vocals and has a powerful voice. The dramatic element of the song is good and it sounds truly international.
A glimpse of the background music score can be heard in the trailers. Needless to say, Salim-Sulaiman are background score specialists and do a great job with sound tracks. Teen Patti offers a dollop of dreams; the lyrics are a cautionary tale against gambling, greed and money. The video of Neeyat has got sizzling picturaisation with pole-dancing Brazilian model. The song has some Spanish elements also.
All in all, Teen Patti's music is an interesting amalgamation of Indian and international music and sounds promising.

Brand Utilities: The End of Advertising Magic?
Consider this. By 2010, Best Buy's Twelpforce had responded to over 29,000 questions and accumulated 26,837 followers on Twitter. But consider this too. It was the largest electronic retailer in the country – it takes a lot of shoppers to generate revenues of $4.4 billion in the month of December 2010. Consider too the sheer breadth of its offering, and that there are 245,267,292 people aged 15 years and over in the United States many of whom will presumably be in the market for some kind of electrical goods. And remember that the service was promoted through TV advertising as well as in-store-messaging. Suddenly it begins to feel as if that utility was actually delivered to and experienced directly by a relatively small population.
So, it is worth considering whether the mere availability of this service worked to elevate the brand's reputation as being knowledgeable and responsive amongst a much broader population. Even though they never took advantage of this piece of utility. So was Twelpforce really a piece of utility?
One of the most eloquent and thought provoking essays on Advertising, Brand Utilities and Tech hypes I've read in quite some time. If like me you're craving for some food for thought and sharp analysis Re the intersection of / hype surrounding the (much vaunted death) of Advertising and the rise of Brand Utilities, this is it.

st: Likelihood Ratio test for IV regressions
Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:02:09 -0400
Hi Statalisters,
Is there any kind of likelihood ratio (or equivalent) test that
assesses the overall fit of an IV model (2sls, liml...)? I had figured
no because an IV's overall fit can be strange, have negative R^2 etc.,
but I couldn't find a paper saying so and figured I'd confirm.
If such a test existed, it might compare models like:
i: ivreg y (w1 = z1) x
ii: ivreg y (w1 w2 = z1 z2) x
and say, e.g., that model ii is probably a better overall fit so I
should include w2 and z2 in my regressions.
Thanks for the help!

Moving to the music on the dance floor is nothing new for Jennifer and me. At weddings and parties we always go and claim an unoccupied corner of the dance floor – out of everyone's way – and "dance."
This dancing involves Jennifer elevating her powerchair seat so we're closer to the same height and we either embrace and sway to a slow song or join hands and boogie with our arms to a fast song.
But there was something different this time at WCMU's annual Night of Louisiana.
This was our second year attending what the public broadcasting network flaunts as a way for people to cure the mid-winter blues. As for me, I always tell others they have to go because it's just plain ridiculous fun!
So, Jennifer and I donned our Mardi Gras beads and headed out for a night of southern-style cuisine and live Cajun and zydeco music by The Pine Leaf Boys and Lil' Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers.
After meeting up with our friends, we swiftly forgot about the frigid late January freeze. Trusting in the sweet fruitiness of overpriced and fully liquored Hurricane drinks to cool the burn from our spicy Cajun dinner, Jennifer and I watched as people swarmed the dance floor three notes into The Pine Leaf Boys' opening song.
The people's dancing to the fiddle- and accordion-laced Cajun music was contagious. Jennifer and I quickly claimed an unoccupied corner of the dance floor and throughout the night we danced – swaying and boogying while Jennifer sat in her powerchair.
But with one song, everything changed: Jennifer was standing – honest to God standing! – with me out on the dance floor.
Lord know what led us to give this a try (Jennifer thinks maybe it was a little liquid courage), but all I remember was her looking up at me as the slow song started and I asked, "Did you want to try standing a little for this one?"
Certainly, I always help Jennifer stand to make transfers at home, but never had we stood together like this in public, especially on dance floor with hundreds of people around us.
Jennifer didn't hesitate to say, "Yes," and as we always do to stand, she put her arms around my neck and I straddled her right leg, slightly squatted, wrapped my arms around her back and locked my hands together. And she counted, "1, 2, 3."
And there we were. Dancing our first slow dance. Jennifer and I standing together swaying to the slow song. And all we really could do was smile as we looked into each other's eyes (although, I do remember telling her how awesome it was to see her standing because she knows how much I enjoy the fact that she's two inches taller than me).
While her MS-weakened legs likely limited our dance to less than a minute, I truly had lost track of time. I was really dancing with my wife. I'll bet with Jennifer standing with me we looked just like everyone else on the dance floor.
But I couldn't tell you for sure. For that moment in time, we were the only ones out there.

Thomas Jefferson - A Character Sketch
Ellis, Edward S. (A.M.)
In a letter to his daughter Martha, written in March,1787, Jefferson writes:
"Of all the cankers of human happiness, none corrodes with so silent, yet baneful a tooth, as indolence.
"Body and mind both unemployed, our being becomes a burthen, and every object about us loathsome, even the dearest.
"Idleness begets ennui, ennui the hypochondria, and that a diseased body.
"No laborious person was ever yet hysterical.
"Exercise and application produce order in our affairs, health of body and cheerfulness of mind. These make us precious to our friends.
"It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards.
"The future of our lives, therefore, depends on employing well the short period of youth.
"If at any moment, my dear, you catch yourself in idleness, start from it as you would the precipice of a gulf.
"You are not, however, to consider yourself as unemployed while taking exercise. That is necessary for your health, and health is the first of all objects."

"Regular exercise appears to enhance sexuality through a variety of mechanisms that affect both the mind and body," said Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist and VP of Educational Services. "Physical improvements in muscle strength and tone, endurance, body composition, and cardiovascular function (specifically, enhanced peripheral blood flow) can all enhance sexual functioning."
"Psychological benefits, such as stress reduction, improved self-esteem, elevated mood, and increased confidence can also contribute to a more enriched sex life," said Bryant. "These studies help document that regular, moderate exercise may help prevent, reduce, or possibly reverse major sexual problems, from erectile dysfunction to low libido, in both sexes."

Rescuers rushed by land and by air to evacuate Colorado residents stranded by epic mountain flooding as debris-filled rivers became muddy seas that extended into towns and farms kilometres from the Rockies.
Four people have been confirmed dead since the harrowing floods began on Friday. And hundreds of others have not been heard from in the flood zone, which now covers nearly 11,655sq km.
Some of those unaccounted for may be stranded or injured. Others might have got out but not yet contacted friends and relatives, officials said.
But police expected to find more bodies as the full scope of damage becomes clear.
A woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses saw floodwaters from the Big Thompson River destroy her home in the Cedar Cove area, Larimer County sheriff's spokesman John Schulz said.
"I expect that we're going to continue to receive reports of confirmed missing and confirmed fatalities throughout the next several days," he said.
National Guard helicopters and truck convoys broke through to paralysed canyon communities where thousands of stranded residents were eager to escape the Rocky Mountain foothills. But not everybody was willing to go. Dozens of people in the isolated community of Jamestown wanted to stay to watch over their homes.
Authorities warned residents who chose not to leave that they might not get another chance for a while and should be prepared to endure weeks without electricity, running water and basic supplies.
"We're not trying to force anyone from their home. We're not trying to be forceful, but we're trying to be very factual and definitive about the consequences of their decision, and we hope that they will come down," Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said.
Special education teacher Brian Shultz, 38, was torn about leaving his Jamestown home as he sat outside a makeshift shelter at a high school.
"I was thinking about staying. I could have lasted at least a year. I have a lot of training in wilderness survival," he said. About 10 of their neighbours declined to evacuate, his wife, Meagan Harrington, said. "They said they wouldn't force you, but it was strongly encouraged," she said.
Shultz' eyes welled with tears behind his sunglasses as he compared his situation to that of his neighbours.
"At least all of our stuff's there and will be there when we get back. The people right by the river, their houses were washed away. Other people thought their houses were going to be okay, and then they started to go. It's just really devastating."
Across the foothills, rescuers made progress against the floodwaters. But they were still unable to go up many narrow canyon roads that were either under water or washed out.
The military put more troops on the ground and helicopters in the air to aid in the search-and-rescue effort. More rain was forecast.
More than 1750 people and 300 pets had been evacuated over two days, National Guard Lieutenant Colonel Mitch Utterback said.
A helicopter taking Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper on a tour of the flooded areas stopped to pick up four stranded people and their two pets.
Above the plains of Larimer County, rescue crews planned to fly as many missions as possible while skies were clear.
Crews used inflatable boats to pick up families and pets from farmhouses.
For those awaiting an airlift, Guardsmen dropped food, water and other supplies into the winding, narrow canyons.

Historically it has rarely been a good idea, but today it looks like we are planning to make huge changes to the way the Internet is policed in this country by doing that most worrying of things: following the French.
Under our noses the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has snuck on a sneaky addendum to the high profile Give-our-kiddie-winkles-five-hours-of-culture-a-week green paper that's hitting the headlines today, namely: block illegal downloaders from being able to use the Internet. Yes, it's that old Gaelic chestnut announced by French president Nicolas Sarkozy in November.
Like the French, the UK government wants to introduce a three strike system and users will be policed via their ISPs, though a decision has yet to be made whether ISPs will be allowed to share their data to stop users jumping ship to new packages.
Kindly described by me at the time as 'piffle' (is it egocentric to quote oneself? Or egocentric to say 'oneself' then quote oneself saying 'oneself'? Then... oh dear) the same argument I made then still stands, so given that I'm clearly in the mood for self reference here it goes:
"You see while looking to replace the draconian measures which have file sharers handed life crushing fines and prison sentences is to be applauded there's a huge civil rights issue here," wisely explained the handsome TR News Editor, Gordon Kelly. "For a start, does this entail both home and office access? What about mobile broadband? {Unauthorised wireless piggybacking?} How does it work in a flat share? In a family? In a small business? Theoretically the move could shut down SOHOs, damage education and hurt the national economy. It'll be back to the drawing board in 12 months..."
In fact, the only shift I'd make to this previous comment is to take onboard its British context and factor in the think tanks, committees, parliamentary voting, referendum consideration, referendum cancellation, secondary committee reshuffle, reframing think tank and THEN it'll be back to the drawing board in three years…

Swiss Metal Assets Announces Promotion Aimed At Protecting Individuals from the Fiscal Cliff
The looming fiscal cliff, more rounds of quantitative easing, and the falling dollar have individuals looking for alternative investments to keep their assets safe. Swiss Metal Assets has introduced a Christmas promotion aimed at making it easier.
According to Ulrich Schwark, CEO at SMA, "As concerns about the 'fiscal cliff', and more rounds of quantitative easing become more widely understood, individuals are looking at alternatives to traditional investments for protecting their assets against the falling dollar."
Rare strategic metals, while less well known than gold, silver and platinum, provide similar inflation fighting benefits. But, because of their growing use in both military and civilian applications, show a better potential for higher long term gains.
Often referred to as technological metals, these elements are used in high tech applications ranging from LCD screens and night vision goggles to jet engine, hybrid car, and missile parts.
There are, however, costs associated with rare metals ownership beyond just acquiring the metal. Ulrich says "After purchasing the metals, they need to be stored securely. And then, buyers need to be located, and the logistics of shipping the metals to manufacturers needs to be taken care of." This can even be more complex if your assets are stored offshore, which is recommended for better asset protection.
To meet this need, SMA provides secure vaults in Switzerland and Panama, 24 hour security, and will coordinate sales and shipment of metals to the end buyer. While not required, most buyers choose this option. This added convenience and security usually comes at a price above and beyond the purchase of the metals.
However, until December 31st, 2012 and for the first 50 customers, SMA is offering to store the owner's metals for them, free of charge, for up to 5 years. They are also offering other incentives aimed at helping buyers get started this Christmas season.
Incentives include:
• Free storage and 24 hour security for up to 5 years
• Free 1oz. Gold Eagle Coins, valued at over $1750, for certain qualifying purchases
• Entry into a sweepstakes for hotel and airfare to either Panama or Switzerland to visit their assets.
To find out more information plus be entered into a drawing for a free 1oz Silver Coin (no purchase necessary), visit http://www.swissmetalassets.com/
Or, to speak directly to a representative, contact their office at 1-877-228-2034.
About Swiss Metal Assets
Swiss Metal Assets S.A. offers offshore asset protection strategies and opportunities through ownership of rare strategic metals. Individuals have the ability to purchase and store actual physical metals, not just paper certificates, in two secure offshore locations. Located in Panama City, Panama, they are easily reached via telephone at 1-877-228-2034 during normal US business hours. Or, they are only a short flight from anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. For more information or to schedule an interview email email@example.com, or visit them online at: http://www.swissmetalassets.com.

The Pike River Royal Commission of Inquiry could reconvene, after a request from the lawyers representing former chief executive Peter Whittall and some of the directors.
The commission was due to report back by September 28, but Mr Whittall's lawyer Stacey Shortall has asked that it be recalled to hear evidence from three witnesses.
For now, the new evidence is on the secure commission website and remains confidential, but it is all from former Pike River Coal Ltd technical staff member Udo Renk and middle managers Terry Moynihan and Greg Borichevsky.
The new evidence has come to light three months after the commission closed its public hearings in Greymouth.
Ms Shortall wants to be able to cross-examine the men, test the weight of the evidence, and ensure there is as much evidence before the commission as possible.
"Let them tell their story," she said.
It would ensure the commission's findings were robust, she said.
She has also asked to see the commission's final report before it is widely distributed in order to safeguard the right of Mr Whittall, who faces court charges. to a fair trial. However, the commission has said it must report to the Governor-General, and no one else.
Families' spokesman Bernie Monk said if the commission had to reconvene, "so be it".
"What has to be done, has to be done, for the sake of finding out the truth."
Families' lawyer Nicholas Davidson said it was a matter of ensuring all the relevant evidence came before the commission.
One person told the Greymouth Star the commission must not end up like the Erebus inquiry; everything should be dealt with fairly, not hidden away.
A note on the commission website said Ms Shortall's application "highlights natural justice issues".

The Insight uses a linear-solenoid-operated EGR valve that feeds recirculated exhaust gas into an equal-length EGR manifold that is sandwiched between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.
This design ensures equal distribution of recirculated exhaust gas between the three cylinders and prevents the exhaust gas from liquefying before reaching the intake ports.
This high-precision EGR system is required to help control NOx production during lean-burn operation.

ESPN.com evaluation: WR Taylor Stubblefield
Originally Published: January 28, 2005Scouts, Inc.
Editor's note: Practice notes will be updated daily and a final report will be completed on Friday, Jan. 28. Taylor Stubblefield is an experienced and polished receiver. He played inside and outside at Purdue but his best fit in the NFL will be as a sub-package slot receiver. He will always be limited by his below-average size and speed, and he'll have a lot more trouble separating at the next level. However, he is quick, savvy, sure-handed and polished.
If Stubblefield can prove to scouts at the Senior Bowl that he's capable of breaking the press and gaining separation, he will do wonders for his draft stock. Right now he's a mid-round prospect that projects as a No. 3 or No. 4 slot receiver in the NFL.

NYPD Detective Caught Red-Handed in Suffolk Co. Burglary
Hard to imagine that this guy suddenly just decided to go bad after 19 years on the job. Nope, more like this was one of those rare instances where a cop gets caught in such a public way that it can't be swept under the rug. Let's see if he does any real time over it, or even gets convicted for that matter. If we ever even hear about it again in the news, it will probably wind up busted down to a misdemeanor trespassing charge and a $100 fine. Anyway, here's the scoop...

Responding to a spate of suspicious fires in recent weeks, the Windsor police arson unit has made another arrest, this time for a garage fire in the 400 block of Parent Avenue.
The Parent Avenue fire broke out around 2: 30 a.m. Tuesday. Firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading beyond the garage, though it caused $10,000 in damage.
The most recent arrest comes a day after police arrested another man in connection with a string of arsons in apartment buildings in the 2600 block of Sycamore Drive.
Adam Spicer faces five counts of arson and one count of public mischief.
The five fires in question occurred May 11, May 12 and Monday at 2609 Sycamore, May 12 at 2616 Sycamore, and Monday at 2614 Sycamore. The fires were set either in a laundry room or in a garbage can located in a stairwell.
In one case, the 911 calls from two of the buildings came just two minutes apart. The fire department had to dispatch almost all its units to the Forest Glade location.
No one was hurt in the fires, though total damage is estimated at $33,000.
Windsor has experienced 11 suspicious fires in recent weeks.
Chief Fire Prevention Officer Lee Tome took the rare step of urging residents to watch out for suspicious activity and to reduce the potential for arson by cleaning up combustible materials.

DATA RELEASE: Dark Money Breakdown in Nevada Senate Race '12
Four years ago, the Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v. F.E.C. that corporations, unions, and other organizations can spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections. The court decision interacted with existing laws and led to an increase in "dark money"-spending to influence elections where the source of the spending is hidden from the public.
Since then, "dark money" and other forms of independent expenditures have become a leading area of growth in political spending, contributing to the most expensive elections in history and adding more secrecy around political money in elections.
Using data from OpenSecrets.org and the Sunlight Foundation, MapLight has produced a series of reports and visualizations on how the growth of "dark money" has impacted the nature of spending in elections.
In this next report we look at the 'dark money' in the 2012 Nevada Senate race. (click download images to view visual or gain access to embed code)
In Nevada, one of the tightest Senate races of the 2012 congressional elections, the candidate with more "dark money" on their side won. In the lead up to voting day, the polling showed that Republican candidate Dean Heller and Democratic candidate Shelley Berkley were in a dead heat, with public opinion close enough that the candidate with the lead was commonly within the margin of error. Ultimately, Heller defeated Berkley by just 1.2 percent of the vote and was elected to represent Nevada in the U.S. Senate until 2019. An analysis of the 'dark money' shows:
- Dark money groups favoring Dean Heller spent 2.3 times more money than dark money groups favoring Shelley Berkley ($9 million and $3.8 million)
- 92 percent of independent expenditures favoring Dean Heller were from dark money groups ($9 million of $9.8 million)
- 59 percent of independent expenditures favoring Shelley Berkley were from dark money groups ($3.8 million of $6.5 million)
Methodology: MapLight analysis of candidate committee spending; independent expenditures (disclosed) - Super PACs; and independent expenditures (undisclosed, 'dark money') - 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), 501(c)(6) organizations in the 2012 Nevada Senate election from January 1, 2011 - December 31, 2012. Data source:OpenSecrets.org
EDITOR'S NOTE: Spreadsheet with top line totals available. A link to this report can be found here. Please cite MapLight if you use data from this analysis, "A MapLight analysis of OpenSecrets.org data..."
A big thank you to Robert Maguire at The Center for Responsive Politics for his assist in pulling the independent expenditure data.

What You Need to Know About the Target Data Security Breach
Many of us carry little cash and rely on credit and debit cards for shopping which is pretty convenient but sometimes put us at risk. Recently Target confirmed a security break that potentially compromised 40 million credit and debit cards.
Who should be concerned? If you shopped at Target between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, you should keep a close eye for any suspicious or unusual activity on any credit or debit card accounts that you used while shopping during that time. You should call your card's issuing bank if you discover any suspicious, unusual or fraudulent activity.
You have zero liability for any charges that you didn't make. No action is required by you unless you see charges you didn't make. Your social security number was not compromised. Be wary of call or email scams that may appear to offer protection but are really trying to get personal information from you.
Although sales were down somewhat after the news broke - Target has gone into overdrive to reassure its customers that it will do everything to protect customer's credit and help if there are any problems. Target will offer free credit monitoring to everyone who was impacted. Check here for the latest.
Not too long ago I checked my Amex statement only to find someone had made three hundred one dollar purchases to iTunes in my name. The credit card company immediately removed charges but it just goes to show that Cyber thieves are getting more sophisticated and which makes it even more important to keep a regular eye on your credit card statements.

st: -filei- available on SSC
Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:09:29 +0100
Thanks to the ever-active Excelophile Kit Baum, a new package -filei-
is now available from SSC. Stata 8.2 is required.
This one-program package was a response to a question
from Hendri Adriaens on 27 July:
Contrary to common habit, I would like to emphasise how
little this program does. Here is most of the help.
If it doesn't put you off, use -ssc- to install.
help for filei
Write lines to end or beginning of text files
filei + [`"|"]text["|"'] ["]filename["]
filei - [`"|"]text["|"'] ["]filename["]
-filei- is an immediate command (hence the suffix -i-) that can be used to add extra lines to text files.
The simple forms -filei + "text" filename- and -filei - "text" filename- add a line including text at the end (+) or at the beginning (-) of filename. The quote marks " " are not essential if text is a single 'word' (meaning, it contains no embedded spaces: Stata and 42 are both words). Conversely, quote marks around filename are essential if it includes embedded spaces. Compound double quotes `" "' around text are essential if text includes one or more embedded quote marks.
There is asymmetry: if filename does not exist, the + syntax may be used
to create a one-line file, but the - syntax returns an error.
-filei- is deliberately minimal and designed only to fill a very small gap, as (in the author's view) this minimal task should be minimally easy to do in Stata. More elaborate problems require more elaborate commands or programs, which exist in abundance. This sentence confirms that -filei- includes no syntax to delete lines or to insert lines in the middle of files.
-filei- may be used repeatedly to write successive lines to files. That is the user's call, but be warned that it is very inefficient, as files will be opened and closed repeatedly. You should consider using (e.g.) -file- instead, or even a text editor.

Date of Stay: October, 2011
Stayed during the last weekend of Albuquerque Balloon Festival, hence the higher price. The park is clean, has a large dog run (short fence for large dogs, though), has a nice free continental breakfast daily, nice store. There is a plethora of information about the area (restaurants, hiking trails). Now the negative- many sites are closer, and one cannot choose your sites; dog run was smelly and staff would come into run without any concern whether you had control of your dog before he opened the gate; jacuzzi was broken, and staff was surly when asked about it (said they couldn't help that it took a week to fix it); pool is there but was closed for the season. The website advertised a shuttle to the Festival. When I arrived I found out it was $31per person per session. I found out the city offers a Park N Ride service for $12 per session (if you buy tickets online up to the night before. It is $20 per person if you buy at the pick up site). I strongly suggest the use of this service; it worked out wonderfully for us. Would not stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Park is a campground; calling it a resort is an overstatement. Park is clean and well maintained, but sites are gravel and approach through park could be improved (paved). Sites are a bit close and sewer hook up at sites on "middle" level have sewer hook ups toward front of RV- making them useless unless you have 2-3 sewer hoses. They charged a $5 per pet fee (for 2 days) and provided only one dispenser for disposal bags and NO trash cans; do not feel pet fee was warranted. Laundry charges were outrageous-$4/wash & $3/dryer. Have a nice bar/restaurant on the premises but did not eat there. Premises has access to Glenwood Canyon Bike Trail- fantastic wide paved trail coursing through the canyon- very much enjoyed walking the dogs along there. Would stay again if in area.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Rate reflects Passport America discount (is unlimited). VERY nice park. Sites in the center are a bit tight so I rec asking for sites along fenceline (can access map online). Is south of Moab and thus very quiet; being in a residential neighborhood made me much more comfortable than being along the main street, as many of the parks are. Also limits road noise. Owners very friendly; front desk rep Tasha outstanding! Park very pet friendly- area to walk dogs augmented by being able to walk at the adjacent county horse stables next door. Park provides extensive cable coverage. Would have stayed longer but for time- my husband and I have already talked of going back to Moab to do more hiking -would definitely stay at O.K. again. Arches Nat'l Park is not to be missed. Also- MUST have carnita (pork) tacos at Wake and Bake downtown. Only reason I gave a 9/10 is that sites in the center are a bit tight and there are only 2 washing machines availble.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Park was immaculate. My husband and I felt comfortable there; campground was tucked away and felt safe/secure. Amenities were abundant- a pool, small exercise area/gym, jacuzzi. Negatives-Staff was professional but not particularly friendly. Sites were close together and a bit difficult to manuver into. Given the additional pet fee should have had a better area designated- area was large enough but not enclosed and sloped- felt like I was walking my dogs in a drainage ditch. Did have disposal bags and trash bin available. Given the cost cable TV should have been available. However, only other RV park in Golden is the city park- (drove by)- was nice but very open, downtown and security was questionable. Therefore would choose Dakota Ridge again. Loved Golden- great downtown area- immaculate with a nice walk along Clear Creek, many shops and restaurants; also enjoyed a great tour at the Coors plant.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Very nice and accommodating owner. We called late in day and owner was very helpful in directing us to the park and welcoming us. The park is very clean and tidy and the pool was impressive. The park is small and has a family feel. They welcomed our pets as well. The pool was impressive for a small park. It is within easy access of interstate and there is a convenience store across the street. We stayed overnight; and used a Camp USA discount. We would stay again.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – In the late 1850s, the German composer Johannes Brahms was taking a stroll through the Bavarian countryside when he was suddenly struck by the lush green hills and snow-covered Alps surrounding him. He wanted to recreate the immense beauty of this land through music, so he set to work composing a short symphony serenade for nine players, using the unique folk rhythms and melodies of the area.
"It was beautiful music, drawn from his surroundings," Dr. Gregory Wolynec, APSU associate professor of music, said.
The work, known as Brahms' Serenade No. 1, is typically performed by a full orchestra, but at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 30, APSU's Grammy-nominated Gateway Chamber Orchestra will present the work as the composer originally conceived it.
"What the full orchestral version loses is some of the intimacy of the individual players, the individuals lines, which are beautiful in the chamber orchestra version," Wolynec, the orchestra's conductor, said. "The music loses some of its charm with a full orchestra."
The Brahms composition will be the centerpiece performance of the Gateway Chamber Orchestra's upcoming concert, Pastoral Soundscapes. The program will begin in the APSU Music/Mass Communication Building's Concert Hall with a performance of composer Bohuslav Martinu's Nonetto. That piece, like the Brahms, represents musically the eastern European landscapes that inspired its composer.
"He is a Czech composer whose music is becoming more and more known outside of what was Czechoslovakia," Wolynec said. "It's a more 20th century interpretation of Czech dance rhythms and melodies, Eastern European sounds. He also spent time in Paris, and his music serves as a fusion of those cultures – Czech and French."
The program then veers off into a wildly original work, Orphée Sérénade, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Composer William Bolcom.
"This particular piece was inspired by serenades of Mozart," Wolynec said. "But Bolcom uses a technique called quotation. He literally takes quotations from classical pieces and puts them directly into modern compositions."
The resulting work features six movements, ranging in style from German Expressionism to Broadway musicals to ballet scores from Stravinsky.
"The high point has the woodwinds playing a charming dance from the classical period, and then seemingly to interrupt them, the strings come in and play a different sort of dance," Wolynec said. "At which point, I get out of the way and the two groups are instructed to compete with each other."
The concert follows the Orchestra's typical "three-legged stool" approach to programming, with a work by a known composer (Brahms), a masterwork by a composer often overlooked by history (Martinu) and a piece by an American composer (Bolcom).
"The idea for this concert, Pastoral Soundscapes, comes from landscapes in painting," Wolynec said. "These are essentially landscapes for the ear."
Tickets to the Jan. 30 Pastoral Soundscapes concert are $15 for adults, $10 for students and military, $30 for a family of four and free to APSU students with a valid student I.D. Tickets are available at the MMC Box Office, which opens at 4 p.m. on the day of the show.

Mao's and Akiko's are the ones I m rewatching so far.
Mao's and Akiko's are the ones I m rewatching so far.
Love Akiko's LP! Like the music, choreography, costume, and details of the program, it's unique!
Yuna's LP has a potential. I really like it even though it wasn't perfect. Elements are balanced and spread out, and ChSq is a highlight of this program.
Ashley's and Mao's programs look nice, too.
Last edited by naan; 12-28-2012 at 07:54 PM.
Akiko's LP- Its unique and there is a freedom to it. Gives a feeling joy.
Mao's LP- music used alot but the program is classic,and beautiful. The step sequence is wonderful.
Have to say for short programs from the ladies my favourite is Kiira's. Sadly not been too fond of the LP's from either of the russian men or women this year.
All the top Russian men's programs look the same to me. I just don't get them.
I really like both of Elene Gedevanishvili's programs. She skated her SP to potential in skate Canada but her LP has not been clean at all. I wish she could skate well at Euro (but skate badly at worlds so other countries can grab an extra spot for the Olympics)
Mao's LP! I love the transitions and linking steps. Overused music, but well interpreted. I was surprised that it was choreographed by Tarasova considering the programs she gave her while she was her coach. If she skates it clean, then IMO it will be one of the greatest LP's of all time.
Wagner has my fav for the season. I really don't tend to root for her as a skater but this program is very musical. The choreography has a definitive beginning, middle and end. That arc almost gives it a 6.0 feel that is missing nowadays.
Without doubt Mao Asada!
I like Mao's and Kanako's. Mao's LP is the best among programs from her in recent years and I think it's the kind that suits her. Soft and gentle. (I've never thought Swan' lake by Tarasova would be like that.) Kanako's LP was astonishing too and it has potential to get better if performed well. Not considering the performance by the skater, I prefer Kanako's.
Yuna's LP was disappointing. It is really surprising because I rarely get disappointed by Yuna and David Wilson.(Actually it's the first time that I find her competitive program this boring other than exhibition programs.) Maybe it's because I had such a high expectations from them. Yuna was Yuna and her performance was great as usual but the choreography and the arrangement of music was neither sophisticated nor impressive unlike typical Wilson's programs.

Randall, speaking for the millions of people who get migraines from fluorescents, while I am all in favor of energy conservation, fluorescents make me sick, literally. Have you seen a traffic light lately? Not fluorescent. Been behind a new car when the brake lights went on? Not fluorescent. They're all LEDs, which use less than one-third the energy of fluorescents and are more durable—not to mention the design flexibility. California's new Title 24 will just make me homeless or a scofflaw. Why don't you do a better job and not sell out the millions like me who can't live with fluorescents, especially when there's a much better alternative? Get a clue!
Believe it or not, I agree with what you are saying. I am a huge advocate of LED (light-emitting diode) sources. I really feel that this is where lighting technology should be headed. The initial stumbling block was that, until recently, there was not a white LED available, only red, blue, yellow and green diodes. These were great for traffic signals, indicator lights and the backlighting of colored signage but had little use in residential settings. Now that we have a white LED, it opens up a whole world of possibilities. The other upside of LEDs is that they emit no UV or heat and can last from 30,000 to 75,000 hours. One of the main problems we foresee is that the LED equivalents of incandescent bulbs have bases that match what they are replacing. California's Title 24 demands that we can't unscrew an energy-efficient bulb and replace it with an incandescent source. Now that hardwire LED fixtures are coming onto the market, with the help of manufacturers, we are convincing the inspectors to allow LEDs on projects. In response to your concern about fluorescents causing migraines, there is plenty of old fluorescent technology out there in existing buildings, and it is unfortunately still available on the market for new projects. These old styles with magnetic ballasts cause headache problems because they cycle (flicker) at an agonizingly slow 60 times a second. The new fluorescents with electronic ballasts cycle at 10,000 times a second, which makes a world of difference. Now, aren't you sorry that you yelled at me?
The golden glow comes from a very energy-efficient, long-life LED linear light source.

Right, so 12-14GB. And no it was not clear that I would not be able to pre-install. Foolish me, used to Steam's space-age 2004 pre-install tech, allowing for midnight play goodness.
Yes this is the same way the EU store works, "Remember me" was available I think 2 weeks before launch for preorder, you click to preorder the game, then you can download it the same day, funds are then taken 1 or 2 days before launch and soon as midnight hits its then playable... Anyway only 25 mins left now till we get our hands on the INSTALLER >.>

Designers iPod dock gets a charge from Kickstarter
Hopkins breaks the crowdfunding site's $1 million barrier
Kickstarter's biggest success story so far comes from Portland.
Casey Hopkins, who owns a small design business called Elevation Lab, set out to build a better mousetrap than Apple, and appears to have succeeded.
Kickstarter helps artists and budding entrepreneurs raise money for their projects over the internet.
In December, the Laurelhurst resident put out the word on Kickstarter that he wanted to raise $75,000 to produce his own dock for Apple's iPhone. Apple's dock - a small countertop device used to charge the smart phones and 'sync' data to other computers - is cumbersome and doesn't work with the case on, Hopkins says. When he concocted his own, many friends and acquaintances asked if he'd make them one, too.
So did thousands of Kickstarter contributors once they saw Hopkins' video. He doubled his funding target in less than 24 hours and raised nearly $1.5 million by the time the funding deadline closed in mid-February.
Both results shattered previous records for the company, which was founded in 2009.
Once the money arrives, which Hopkins expects will be in less than two weeks, he has to gear up a local manufacturing operation in short order.
'We have 15,000 of them to make,' Hopkins says, just from Kickstarter contributors. 'We just ordered 30,000 pounds of aluminum.'
Hopkins previously designed bicycles and the original Klean Kanteen aluminum water bottle, among others. Now his two-person company is in a new league, and must ramp up quickly.
Hopkins expects to do most of the manufacturing, assembly and shipping in Portland, and hopes to ship his first orders in April. If he hadn't used Kickstarter, Hopkins figures he would have had to raise $150,000 in startup capital, no easy task.
'That's the beauty of crowdfunding,' Hopkins says. 'I see opportunities always to design better products and bring it to market. It's such a hurdle to do it traditionally because the upfront costs are so expensive.'
A flurry of publicity generated requests from distributors around the world to carry the iPhone docks once they're ready. 'We're also getting an explosion of people asking us to do product designs for them,' Hopkins says.
He contacted Apple early on about his idea, but the company didn't seem interested, he says. 'Not too many products ever challenge an Apple design, because Apple usually sets the standard,' he adds.
Apparently not in this case.

Ron Hutchings spent four years refurbishing a classic 1968 Corvette Stingray he imported from America.
So when he arrived home yesterday and saw the barn he kept it in totally engulfed in flames, he could think of only one thing: "My car's in there."
The painting contractor, who manages the Glentui Travellers Lodge at Whatawhata with his wife, saw smoke and flames pouring from the barn's corrugated iron roof after neighbours had reported what sounded like explosions.
Mr Hutchings had stored much of his painting gear in the shed but it was his Corvette - which he said was not insured for fire - that had him worried.
There was little left of his prized possession except for a burned-out shell under the rubble despite the best efforts of one of his neighbours, who tried to keep the flames at bay with his garden hose.
"We'll just have to see what the insurance company says but I'm not too sure," Mr Hutchings said.
The fire also spread, burning down the lodge's adjoining ablution block, seriously damaging one of the lodge's two units and destroying a car that was next to the building.
"It was a Japanese import so it doesn't matter. I'm just glad it didn't get to my [house] bus.
"It could have been worse, a lot worse. My wife was inside at the time it happened but luckily it didn't get that far."
Three tankers from Cambridge, Pirongia and Te Awamutu were called about 3pm to the blaze, which sent up pillars of black smoke.
Hamilton central senior station officer Alban Osborne said firefighters had the blaze under control quickly.
They were dampening hot spots when the Herald visited yesterday.
Mr Osborne said it was not clear what caused the fire but he believed it was not suspicious.
"Usually when there are cars in there it isn't, probably more so when you've got a classic car in there."
Mr Osborne said fire investigators would be making inquiries.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Sen. Kay Hagan (D-North Carolina) is pushing to get federal unemployment benefits back in North Carolina. They ended in July after a change in state law to pay off billions of dollars the state borrowed from the federal government to pay unemployment.
It has become another partisan battle in the Tar Heel State, and in Washington, renewing unemployment benefits is stuck in negotiations between Democrats and Republicans.
A day after Rep. Mike McIntyre's retirement announcement, we asked Hagan how leaders can compromise with so many members of Congress in the middle of the political spectrum leaving office.
"I think we need to look at the citizens of North Carolina to say, you know, 'We want people who are willing to get together,' and let's get behind those individuals and speak up on their behalf," Hagan said.
Senate Democrats want to extend the benefits at least three months if not all year.
Meanwhile Republicans want other cuts to offset the estimated $26 billion price tag.

Rumors have been running rampant regarding a possible romance between Nick Jonas and Kate Hudson, but the former Jonas Brothers rocker insists he's free as a bird.
During his interview on Monday's (May 9) episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the "Jealous" crooner makes the definitive statement, "I really am [single]. Yeah, I am."
As two of the hottest celebrities on the planet, Nick Jonas
and Emily Ratajkowski are constantly being asked annoying questions by the media. And in a new Glamour.com video, they address some of the most-commonly-asked queries.
Continuing his progress toward pop music domination, Nick Jonas has a brand new single called "Close" along with an incredible music video.
Featuring Tove Lo, the new project finds the former Jonas Brothers crooner lamenting the fact that his lady love just wants some space, while he wants to be even closer.
Beach season is right around the corner, and Victoria's Secret broadcast their 2016 Swim Special last night (March 9) complete with two pop star performers.
He's typically a pretty private person, but Nick Jonas opened up a bit in his cover story for the latest issue of Complex magazine.
Rounding out the weekend with a star-studded shindig, the 2015 American Music Awards took over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles last night (November 22).
Leading the pack with three wins (including Song of the Year and Album of the Year) was Taylor Swift, though her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles and his One Direction bandmates nabbed Favorite Group and Artist of the Year honors.
They've been great friends for years and it looks like Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas are about to become tourmates.
On Monday (October 26) the "Jealous" hunk and the "Heart Attack" hottie showed up on "Good Morning America" to share the news of their Future Now tour slated to kick off in 2016.
Continuing her promotional efforts for "Rock the Kasbah," Kate Hudson paid a visit to "Watch What Happens Live" on Tuesday night (October 20).
And of course host Andy Cohen just had to bring up the recent reports that the "Almost Famous" flirt has been hooking up with "Jealous" singer Nick Jonas.
