In the past two years, I've taken several leaps of faith with my career and with my personal life. Unfortunately, I ended up like a certain cartoon character, pinwheeling my legs in midair and crashing to the ground in a heap of dust.
Just call me Pancake.
Cartoon physics aside, every risk I took turned into a nightmare, leaving me gun shy of dreaming big dreams or taking even small leaps of faith. Disheartened, I stayed at the bottom of the mountains. I stopped trying to fly.
The characters in my stories often face similar situations. They struggle to take leaps of faith because they can't even begin to climb the mountain they dream about, much less make it to the top and jump off. In the course of the story, they learn how to let go of past disappointments and make decisions based on love (and the possibility for a happily ever after) rather than fear. They learn to trust in themselves and go for their dreams.
All these years of putting facts into my fiction, I'm now doing the opposite and living by the HEA credo. In the past month or so, I've embraced picking mountains I want to climb, not have to climb. Mountains that excite me. I've learned to stop taking leaps of faith because I'm scared not to, but stepping off the cliff because it's something I want to do so badly I'm like Wile E. chasing Road Runner. I'm hungry for it and I'll use my super genius powers and ACME gadgets to get it.
Leaps of faith can lead to leaps of joy. I queried four publishing houses recently, figuring I didn't have a chance in Hades of selling anything to them, but to my surprise, two responded. I sold the fourth Super Agent book, The Blood Code, to Entangled Publishing after a two-year climb up a steep mountain. Honestly, I wasn't sure that book would ever be published, but it will be. Finally. Because I took a leap of faith.
I also received word last week from a major editor at Random House that she's looking at a short story of mine for their Loveswept line. It's only a request for the full manuscript, but what a jolt of motivation. I've wanted to work with her for years and I may finally have the chance. Beep, beep!
It's important to dream, to take risks, to climb the mountains and then jump off those mountain tops…and maybe it's just as important to land in a flattened pancake at the bottom. Failure is not final unless we allow it to be – a lesson I've learned from my characters. As opposed to cartoon physics, this is HEA physics. True living means picking ourselves up, dusting off our hearts and egos, and searching for that next mountain, that next leap of faith, the next promise of love. A payoff is bound to happen.
Staying motivated and inspired is not for the faint-hearted. I like Isaiah Hankel and his blog Generating Enjoyment and Influence. It's like boot camp for your mind. Watch his Like A Lion video. I dare you not to feel inspired.
Odds are I'll be a pancake more times than not this year, but that's okay. I'll be taking those flying leaps of faith with more style this time around. Maybe a graceful swan dive instead of the Wile E. Coyote air dance. And I'll use my real life experiences to make my fictional characters more believable and their HEAs more rewarding.
Do you have a mountain you'd love to climb this year? A leap of faith you want to take? How will you tackle it?

Several months ago, we reported on the changing face of the Linux
community. These shifts have dramatically increased. I recently served
as a product judge at the IDG LinuxWorld along with Megamind President
Deb Murray (http://www.megamind.org) and UniForum President Alan Fedder
(http://www.uniforum.org). As we reviewed the "best of breed" Linux
products we were impressed at the different focus and attitude evident
among the leading vendors. I believe we all felt that Linux was at a
crossroads and the spirit of open-source freedom may no longer define
the movement.
Megamind's Murray reflected:
"It's hard to believe the first LinuxWorld Conference and Expo that
was barely able to fill half of the SJ Convention Center happened a
little over 4 years ago [albeit Linux has been around for 10 years]

: Mascara and foundation help!
Ok. So I have mascara issues, and need some input!
Most of the time I wear mascara by Just For Redheads. It's ok. It goes on really wet, which can be annoying. I like it about halfway through when it is a little dried out. It doesn't run too badly, either.
But I also like wearing a bolder, darker mascara for dressing up, performing, etc. (usually a "black brown".)
My problem is mascara tends to run on me like crazy. I need a (drugstore) mascara that
-comes in a soft black (brown or gray black)
-prefer a washable water proof
-bonus if it lengthens, thickens, and bigger bonus if it curls.
Now for foundation. I loved Cliniques city base cream compact foundation. They discontinued it and have a new one now, but I've yet to try it. Any thoughts??
I also like to use a drugstore version (i use it on "unimportant days" so the expensive one lasts longer). Lately it's been Revlon's new Complexion compact make-up (a cream as well.). I also use Revlon Colorstay liquid for days I'll be outside for long periods of time, or teaching/performing and know I'll sweat a lot.
Any other suggestions? I prefer a cream/compact, but will wear liquid. (Especially for the "color stay" option!)
2c/3a/3b, Fine/med, Dense,

THE Greens face a challenging new era after the shock resignation of veteran leader Bob Brown and the ascension of the lesser-known Christine Milne to take the party into next year's election and a likely period of Coalition government.
Senator Milne immediately declared she would pitch hard to rural and regional Australia and ''progressive business''.
Victorian MP Adam Bandt, 40, who wrested the seat of Melbourne from Labor in 2010 and will struggle to hold it next year, becomes the party's new deputy.
Senator Milne, 58, a central player in the framing of the carbon tax package and a former Greens leader in Tasmania, is a hardline environmentalist. While her colleagues insist she is a good negotiator, some in Labor view her as an ideologue.
The departure of Senator Brown, who will leave parliament in June, took his party by surprise, but he said that ''one should always make room for renewal in politics''.
''I am, after all, 67,'' he said, adding that he had been thinking about his future since the election.
Standing with partner Paul Thomas and flanked by his nine Greens colleagues, Senator Brown told a media conference: ''I was away at the global Greens conference in Senegal a fortnight ago with … Paul and we came to the conclusion that this was the right time.'' His immediate timing had been driven by Tasmanian Senate nominations closing soon.
The Greens' agreement with the minority Labor government is not affected by the leadership change.
A high-profile activist in the Franklin River campaign, Senator Brown was elected to the Tasmanian Parliament in 1983. He entered the Senate at the 1996 election.
Senator Milne, who entered Federal Parliament at the 2004 election and has been deputy leader since 2008, lost no time in setting out her strategy. Urging Greens supporters around the country to reconnect with the party, she declared: ''We are currently seeing the biggest assault on the environment in Australia we've seen in a very long time.''
This was not just because of climate change but because of the ''rapaciousness of the mining industry'' and Liberal and Labor willingness ''to cave in'' to those who wanted to push aside ''every environmental protection that communities have fought for''.
''If ever the Greens were needed in Australian politics, in public life, in redefining the debate in Australia, it is now,'' she said.
As ''a country person'' herself, she intended to go out to rural and regional Australia to say it was time the Greens and rural Australia worked together on issues like food security, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
She also wanted to have ''a much more vigorous dialogue with progressive business'', because ''progressive business knows that we have to address the climate challenge'' and saw the incredible opportunities that presented.
Senator Brown insisted the Greens could one day become the government. ''Our job isn't to make the so and so's honest - it's to replace them.'' He said he would be ''a Green until the day I die'', while Senator Milne said there would be panic in the party if it thought he was not going to continue to be involved in it.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard described Senator Brown as ''a figure of integrity with a deep love for this country and its environment''. Tony Abbott said he had been a very strong force in Australian politics in recent years - ''I would say too strong a force''.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Peter Anderson said that despite ''profound differences'' between industry and Greens, ''I have always enjoyed Bob Brown's open door''.
Greens founding member and veteran campaigner Drew Hutton warned the party it should ''stop holding focus groups in the inner suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney'' and move towards the centre on economic issues. ''They need to start reaching out to business, especially areas like manufacturing, tourism, agriculture, those sectors that have gone at least partly down the road to sustainability.'' He said Senator Milne was well placed to move in that direction.
Tasmanian Greens minister Nick McKim ruled out running for the Senate vacancy.

NutraSilver Plus
Is it possible to innovate and create something the world has never seen in an industry that is over 3,000 years old? Yes it is. NutraSilver is an innovation and here's why it's something that will change your life and your health, even if you're already one of the 10 million colloidal silver users in the United States and have been for years.
Most Powerful
NutraSilver is formulated with a 3,600 ppm concentration, the most powerful major brand of colloidal silver in the world. Unlike all 10 and 20 ppm solutions, NutraSilver is an extremely effective aid for the toughest health challenges. NutraSilver can be diluted to any ppm concentration without losing effectiveness for common household uses, which gives you the ability to control your own number of drops while ensuring effectiveness.
High Power Concentration
Highest Quality
NutraSilver is not the typical colloidal silver you'd find on the shelf at your local health food store. Most of those common colloidal silver products don't actually contain silver at all, but rather silver ions. NutraSilver breaks the traditional mold. It's formulated from natural silver mined from our own Mother Earth. The pure silver is put through a unique process in order to create nanometer-sized silver particles that are electrically suspended in distilled water for maximum potency.

New to this style of shooting but have heard its great fun...what holster do you recommend?
Can you use IWB or OWB ?
Thank you
You can use either OWB or IWB. It really depends on your preference as to which you use. I personally don't like IWB because I would have to go out and buy pants that are several sizes larger than I normally use so I wear OWB. YMMV
I favor OWB but I might go IWB in the warmer months when my cover garment changes.
OWB is usually more comfortable and I can get a better firing grip while gun is sill in the holster.
I shot my first year of IDPA with an IWB holster. I was really after practicing my draw, aim and fire for concealed carrying. After the first year, I switched to an OWB, to be more competitive in the game. So, basically it depends on what you want out of IDPA.
OWB is definately more competetive. If you are looking for leather for IDPA I would highly recommend that you check out www.pennercustomleather.com. Some really nice leather rigs and the guy that makes them also competes. Worth a look.
FWIW: I wear slacks that have slight waist expandability built in. They are readily available from low to mid level prices at Wally World and other fine stores. They accommodate the small adjustment required when carrying IWB or not.
I normally carry a full-size SA XDm .40 S&W.

Not expect, but rather hope. And why?
Because I would hope bitwise operations would treat
True and False like 1 and 0. (E.g., in Python, True
and False behave this way, since bool is a subtype
of int.)
Let me put it this way:
what else might one intend by BitAnd[True,False]?
To AND values in two binary (True,False) matrices,
I think we must do something like:
MapThread[And, {m1, m2}, 2]
Being able to just BitAnd[m1,m2] would be nicer.
But in any case, thank you for the helpful
explanation of the behavior that puzzled me.

The April 15 issue of Business Week featured a list of the 50 most innovative companies as determined by an independent firm, Boston Consulting Group.
A lot of the companies made sense to me, and I'm fairly certain you would agree that they deserve to be honored. The list included Apple, Google, Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Disney, Nintendo and Ford, all firms at the top of their respective markets that have taken novel approaches to various challenges.
Also on the list was Coca Cola, which was recognized for bringing "a flash of high-tech wizardry to its fountain drink dispensing system," and Wal-Mart "for driving down supply-chain costs." (But really, is that any more innovative than actually providing its employees with health insurance, or straightening up its cluttered aisles?)
But noticeably absent were the really innovative companies such as Abbott Labs, for developing cutting-edge diagnostic tools, or Pfizer, for its game-changing antibiotic Zirthomax. Another winner, I thought, should have been Boeing, for manufacturing the 787 using ultra-light fiberglass instead of aluminum.
You're probably coming up with of all sorts of candidates right now as well.
Then I thought, "Wouldn't it be better if Business Week readers submitted their own nominations instead of some stuffy, probably overpaid consulting company choosing the winners?" And what if the magazine solicited opinions from experts in the appropriate fields – from search engines to automotive technology?
My mind then turned to our industry, and what Pool & Spa News seeks to do by collecting entries for our annual Masters of Design contest.
The issue celebrates the best projects in the pool and spa industry and the visionaries who created them.
Every year after it is published I receive calls from readers stating, "I only wish I had known about this awards competition! I would have submitted a fabulous project to you." (In our defense, we do e-blast all subscribers and run ads in the magazine.)
Do you think you can measure up? If so, click on "Masters of Design," and you're on your way. Or, send us via "snail mail" photos of your best projects in the following categories:
- Concrete Pools

Yup, pestering again. This event got a good review on TMP last yearTMP linkFor any who might like to take a chance at reenacting the 17th century, there will be a "School of the Musketeer" covering 1580 through 1650, held in Philadelphia, PA, April 18, 19 and 20, 2008 in a brick and mortar Rev War fort! (Fort Mifflin, and for the Google Earth fans, 39° 52' 31.32" N, 75° 12' 47.25" W. ) You will learn to fire a matchlock, crew and fire a cannon, handle a pike (it's not just a pointy stick), and swing a sword (with blunts, of course).Civilian classes are to be announced, but have included in the past period games, medicine, and writings.Period food is provided, $30 USD for pre-registration for the weekend, including meals. One day is $20 USD , which includes lunch.
For more details (and there are lots of them) and registration information see linkRegistrations must be received by March 31, 2008.
Wish I lived in the area. I'd check it out.
You should add that 'anyone injured during the reenactment, or at any time during attendance, will be treated with the latest, cutting edge-medicine that the 17th century has to provide'. That should pack 'em in!
We do, upon occasion, have classes in period medicine.
Where do you live? There are similar classes on the west coast, but if I had to guess, judging from your handle, you're not on this continent.
That is so cool.
I'm in California. And weekends are iffy. But $20 USD for a day of fun like that would be awesome.
I'll make inquireys about a west coast version. I'm pretty sure there is a "class".
It's being held near Sacramento, CA. First Weekend in April. Event is "All Arms", and they have a cavalry element.

Overall Experience
Excellent hotel
June 24, 2017
Great hotel, with nice restaurant only 50 yes away. Much nicer than staying in central Bluffton, or the island. Very reasonable price, and great staff
June 18, 2017
Barring a snafu with the charges at the end of my stay, I have to say the Candlewood Suites were one of my favorite IHG properties simply because all the rooms come with the amenity of a kitchenette--something that would cost a pretty penny elsewhere. We were 15 minutes from the island, and five minutes from the interstate, both of which were a straight shot from the hotel, and it was quiet. The hotel could do for a bit of renovating--the lighting is terrible and it kind of has that section 8 housing smell/look on the inside. Would be nice if it got an update to look at cozy and posh as is advertised.
I refrained from housekeeping service, but the room was very clean and nice when we arrived except for the blonde hair everywhere??? It wasn't a dealbreaker, I had a lint roller but still. Anyway, I'd definitely stay here again for the convenience, or another IHG property closer to the beach next time. But this was a great vacation and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Whoever worked night audit on our arrival was very understanding of our late arrival! Thank you!
Family Visit
June 14, 2017
I cannot tell you how wonderful the staff is at this hotel. They kept my pup for me while we were out during the day (he howls and cries when in an unfamiliar setting alone). Our room was clean and comfortable. Noise the first night but that has nothing to do with the hotel, just inconsiderate neighbors. Great stay and will return!
Convenient but not very comfortable
June 14, 2017
We stayed here two years ago for a long weekend and had a great experience. Decided to stay again for one night as we were heading to Florida.
Everything was fine except for the hard bed and flat pillows. We were placed in room 219 which was a good location, but the outside parking lot light was hard to keep from shining int the window overnight.
It may be time for an overall furniture and bedding upgrade. We will watch for future reviews before deciding to re-book on our visit to the area again.

Formula One legend Michael's Schumacher's ski bindings may have failed, it was claimed today..
Authorities in France are now investigating whether the expensive special clips on Schumacher's boots malfunctioned seconds before his horrific skiing accident.
It is the latest theory into why he tumbled head-long into rocks causing massive brain damage.
Today Schumacher, 45, was showing signs of slight improvement' in hospital.
Bindings are a small piece of equipment which automatically releases the boots from the skis in the event of a crash.
If they failed it could have meant Schumacher's skis were released unnecessarily causing him to lose control.
It also emerged that he did film his horror smash on his helmet camera.
Schumacher's GoPro camera was handed to police but it was not known if it was switched on at the time of the accident.
Today it was claimed that the video footage was usable by police and was forming a crucial part of their investigation.
Meanwhile, Schumacher's wife Corinna has pleaded with the media to leave Grenoble University Hospital where he is being treated.
In a statement Corinna said: "Please support us in our common fight for Michael. It is important to me that the doctors and the hospital be left in peace to work. Trust, please, in the doctors' statements and leave the hospital."
A video posted on YouTube entitled "Michael Schumacher Leaked Helmet Camera GoPro of Accident" was branded "a fake" by the prosecutor's office in Albertville.
A spokeswoman said: "It's not real. Such things turn up on the internet but this is not correct for sure."

"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"It's a great personal card to give someone I meet that I want to keep in touch with, or have them contact me. In my opinion, it's much better then using traditional business cards."
"This product was amazing when it arrived! Exceeded all expectations. My only complaint is that I wish I would have chosen GLOSS when I made the order! Aside from that, this was as expected! I purchased it so people could use it as a "picture" for their wallet with multiple images captured from my son's birthday party."
"I have used Tiny Prints several times before & am always excited to see the finished product. I've never been disappointed & this card was no exception. This design has become my absolute new favorite. The colors in the photo came out amazing & the design is phenomenal. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"We are so pleased with our personal business cards. We just moved to a new state and are meeting lots of new people. The cards are really handy and the deign fits the bill perfectly. Being seniors, we wanted something that was simple and easy to read.Your staff was very helpful when I called. They advised me on the type changes and made everything so easy. The delivery was fast also."

Re: WWE: The Evolution Of Greed
Wrestlemania Review
Thrilled you've managed to reach this point, a great achievement writing a Wrestlemania and you know I'm excited as anything to read this. Before onto the actual review, the preview show was top notch by the way
. Anyways…
Perfect way to kick things off. National anthem is always the route to go and Smokey Robinson ain't a bad way of doing so either, very nice decision there. Opening video package was excellent with a great theme of the superstars giving everything they've got to get what they desire, loved Flair in particular here.
Kicking things off with Finlay/Hardy doesn't surprise me. I was kinda torn between this and MITB, so solid choice here. Really strong opening from Hardy with the two near falls, was surprised to see a Side Effect so early on but it added a shock factor I guess that this one may end early. Good use of Little Bastard, albeit early on, may've been better served towards the end but still a good way to get Finlay into this one. Very nice little period for Finlay following this, in particular the reverse chinlock, I thought your phrasing during this was great, 'the look of determination in his eyes becoming glazed over' was something I could so easily picture. Little Bastard again coming into this was a good move, Finlay using all his dirty tricks, good show of his experience there. Really liked the way you had 'Swoggle AGAIN stick his nose in and prevent Hardy winning, only for Hardy to smash him with the shillelagh. Now THAT is a Wrestlemania moment. Great win for Hardy and a great way to kick off the show. Hopefully Hardy gets a nice reign now that really establishes himself.
Classic McMahons here. Vince as the referee should be mighty interesting although it clearly won't be all that simple.
Dykstra/Lito next was a surprise to me as I expected this a little later on, maybe wedged in between a higher profile match. Great start here with Dykstra slapping Lito and heading to the ropes, typical heel route to go. Nice aggression from Kenny when this spilled to the outside and I liked how you mentioned Torrie's reaction as she's certain to play a role in this. Nice little period for Kenny here but was glad Lito began to turn the tables although I would've liked him to do it inside the ring as they'd only gone to the outside not too long prior to this. Loved the cross body counter into a power slam, sweet from Dykstra. When Lito began to pick up the pace here I thought the win might've been his and we wouldn't get the Torrie turn that I think the majority predicted/even hoped for so I was THRILLED when it did come. Certainly a unique, different ending, didn't see it coming that way at all but the main thing is that it happened and that Dykstra held on to that title. Decent match for the time it got, told a nice story here and the potential with Dykstra/Torrie is great and should see this feud build all the more.
That Summerslam poster is fantastic and when I saw old school HBK I had to do a double take, brilliant.
MITB time, no doubts some big stuff will go down in this one. Nice way to start with all the competitors focusing on the prize, was inevitably gonna lead to a mass brawl but pleased to see you not go straight down that expected route. Very nice opening exchanges with Kane looking strong and that Swanton from Hardy was just what is to be expected in this kind of match from a guy like him. Twist of Fate off the ladder following that? Wow, Hardy's living up to his daredevil reputation here, pleased to see these two go at it also as I expect their rivalry to continue after this no matter what the outcome. Some more good action followed this, particularly liked Orton's dropkick to the ladder taking down Hardy and Punk. Some clever stuff put here with Booker knocking Benoit and MVP off with a ladder of his own, that's the sort of stuff you'd expect from him as he's not the risk taker others are. Nitro's little leap onto the ladder was great, fully expected something big from him in this match and that athleticism was a nice touch, the use of Masters too was good. Great little passage from Punk to follow this and it really made him look strong taking on both Booker and MVP like that. Sunset flip tower of doom I can just imagine being brutal and I guess that's the really big spot for Nitro I was expecting, loved it. Swanton off the ladder from Hardy now?!? Jesus I thought he was done with big spots in this thing but apparently not. And that's followed by a Diving Headbutt off the ladder now!! High risk, high reward, didn't expect that from Benoit at all but I thought it was fantastic. The ending was well worked with Benoit looking like he'd get the dream win only for Orton to seemingly appear from out of nowhere and steal it from under his nose. Fantastic match with some great spots in it and I predicted Orton would win so pleased to see he did as there's a ton of possibilities now moving forward.
Tidy little package there just hyping up how excited everybody is for this thing. Something WWE would certainly do so fair play for bothering with it also.
Helms/Danielson up now, should be a mighty good one. Really, really strong start from Danielson here, didn't expect it to be so one sided early on, a cagey opening was what I expected but AmDrag really looked good here. Helms was always gonna get a foothold and that missed spear into the ringpost was nice, followed with the DDT, at this point you believed the chamion was gonna start to really up his game and he did just that. Working of the arm was smart, looking to prevent the Lebell lock. Loved Helms shouting out to JBL, just such a heel thing to do and then for the Inside Cradle out of nowhere was a great call. The pace now really began to build and it got going big time. The succession of near falls were great and at this stage you really believed it could go either way. The Shining Wizard from Helms had me thinking he'd pulled it off but a kick out just showed how resilient Danielson is. Same thing though with the Lebell lock, at that stage you thought this is Danielson's now but resilience on Helms' part this time, just great stuff. I didn't expect the ending to come that way but it does a whole lot for Helms here to retain but doing so in that manner does a whole lot for Danielson also. Kudos as this keeps the feud going on a little while longer. Really enjoyed this one.
Good to hear from Foley, possible indicator he has got one more match in the tank. Edge appearing I didn't see coming but made sense I guess and usual cocky antics heading into the big one later.
Nice video package for this next one, really done a wonderful job building this. Right call in having these two just explode from the off, wouldn't expect any other way. Mickie really did look unstoppable in the early goings, Victoria feeling her force also. Beth finally getting a stranglehold of the match now, although I would've preferred it if she did so without Victoria, she's good enough to do so on her own. The offense from Beth now was as expected, solid and brutal. The bow and arrow stretch was great to see and Mickie smashing the steel sounded nasty. Beth really did look in cruise control at this point and I liked the fact you acknowledged how the pace of the match slowed right down. Mickie fighting back out of nowhere was classic face recovery and the victory roll had me thinking she'd stolen it but glad to see this only rattled Beth. As soon as Beth began to badmouth Mickie I knew that was game over for her, Mickie's burst of offense following that was beautiful, the tilt-a-whirl head scissors was great and then the Mickie-DT out of the Beth Valley Driver was a nice little counter to score Mickie the win. Very solid outing here and perhaps that ends this little story once and for all, perhaps lol.
Decent little interview with Orton, I guess ruling out him cashing in tonight but his claims it won't be long make me curious where he opts to go following Mania.
This match up should be a fun one, although it is the one lacking any real build. Clever tactics from Haas in the opening. Really nice sequence here from the Holliganz with the hiptoss followed by a hiptoss onto Shelton, loved that. Really nice showcasing of both London and Kendrick here, showing off that they are a real team with the double dropkicks and double flying cross body's. Running Shooting Star press from London was great, he really looked on fire in the early going. Some really strong teamwork now shown from TWGTT and it's something I'm really pleased to see as it is of course the two 'tag team' champions going at it, the double backbreaker was great. Again, pleased to see the pair working on London's injury and the false tag with the referee failing to spot it was a great little twist to add. Kendrick finally entering the match had me believing he'd really pick up steam in this and I wasn't wrong. That double flapjack counter into a double tornado DDT was excellent and the Tower of London following on had me thinking they'd done the job, great period of dominance for the Hooliganz. Really clever ending with London's knee eventually giving out on him and the Haas of pain simply proving too much. Big win for TWGTT but a strong showing still from an injured London makes the Hooliganz look no mugs in defeat.
Brilliant video package for this feud and it's one of the most anticipated matches on the card for me. Again it was a nice, different opening with Flair not wasting any time in heading after Kennedy, as should be, I mean Flair literally wants to kill the guy. Really strong opening from the Nature Boy, I loved the aggression you portrayed from him and having Kennedy busted open so early on just adds to it. Great antics from Kennedy as he turns the tables, the Flair strut is something I can easily imagine Kennedy doing and I'm glad it backfired on him. Single leg Boston crab from Kennedy, unexpected but a great route to go, trying to beat Flair almost at his own game with a submission. Brutal stuff here from Kennedy focusing on Flair's knee, pleased to see Naitch busted open also, although would've preferred it to be maybe off the ring post or something rather than just a straight kick from KK. Smart stuff though for Kennedy to target one area and dissect it. Ah, speaking of beating him at his own game, the Figure Four, brilliant. I expected this at some point as it's the kinda dick thing Kennedy would do so kudos there. To see Flair fighting with all he's got against his own hold is compelling. That Green Bay Plunge off the top was wow, didn't expect that AT ALL, loved it and I thought there and then it could be over with. Flair's Figure Four was bound to strike once more and I was worried it could be over with but you done great in portraying Ken to have the fight, to have the heart to stay in this thing and survive. KenTon bomb, surely over with? NO! At this point I really thought this wasn't Kennedy's night but so glad that he finally put him away with the Mic Check, the little slap beforehand from Flair was a nice touch, almost like all he had left to give. Fantastic match up and you really did allow them to give it their all. Kennedy looks great in victory and I'm looking forward to his next step, while Flair looks as resilient as ever in defeat.
Nice way out if this is the end for Flair as suggested by the aftermath but I'm not so sure it will be.
Very good hall of fame line up and pleased to see you give them their minute in the spotlight despite Bret not being there for Owen.
This next bout was always gonna be a huge one and although there's only one winner, what was really gonna interest me here was your booking of Umaga so that's what I'll keep an eye out for. Extremely even opening and both men looked like machines in the early going. Umaga really is a beast, taking Taker's grip away from his throat and then delivering a Samoan drop, I love it. A real spell of domination from Mags followed this and it was great to see Taker so vulnerable and this animal just picking him off bit by bit, those two Banzai drops on the spin were nicely executed. I started to believe Taker was working his way back into this thing so when Mags hit that Samoan Drop through the announce table I was stunned, in the best way possible. This guy is just looking like a total savage here. I thought the part with Estrada snapping the cigar and Taker sitting up was genius, really did, a fantastic idea and the Last Ride was vicious and a choke slam to follow but STILL the Bulldozer doesn't give in. The kick out from the Samoan Spike was all the more impressive though from Taker and these guys have both been made completely unstoppable tonight, as should be. Kick out from the Tombstone shocked me but it's the right call, needing two tombstone's to put away someone just shows how strong somebody is and Mags is exactly that. In the end, as expected but I was thrilled you let Umaga hang with Taker toe to toe, looking better than the Deadman in my eyes. Much like Kennedy, I look forward to seeing where the Samoan Bulldozer heads moving forward.
Typical Cena promo here, did the job of his usual 'giving it all' and 'never backing down' schtick.
Styles coming back I can live with and certainly makes sense in the context of this match up so a good call there.
Onto the action and I expected Lashley to largely dominate early on so it shocked me that Cena was so strong from the off in taking it to the Real Deal. Styles slapping Lashley was priceless, absolutely priceless
. Some really good use of Shane and Vince right from the off, Shane preventing Cena capitalising on Lashley being down, Vince with the early fast counts etc. McMahon then giving Cena a slow count was great, I can imagine Vince's face while doing so, in all honesty I'd much rather he count slow as fuck than not count at all, just for a laugh. Again, good stuff on the outside as it wore on with Shane grabbing Cena's foot and allowing Lashley to take charge. I do like it but I do wish Lashley would just straight up do his own dirty work on Cena, it's a tough one cos it's the McMahon's, it's what they do but still, wanna see Lashley do this alone. The brutal spine buster from Lashley is the kinda thing I wanna see, just exploding from nowhere with Cena in control, makes him look the beast he is, great spot. STFU was nicely done and I couldn't help but laugh with Shane pushing the rope inwards
, brilliant stuff. Another really good spot here with Vince slapping Cena, drawing him into the trap and that spear from Lashley seemed brutal as they come. Cena finally working his way back in was bound to happen and it was executed nicely again with the STFU locked in once more and Lashley tapping but Vinny never seeing it, once more that's just great use of him and Shane in this thing. Things REALLY picked up from this point and the steel chair getting involved I can imagine would draw so much heat on these three it'd be unreal. Coast to Coast from Shane is epic, always love seeing that move and the Dominator to follow, I thought this was curtains but AGAIN your use of Vince is perfect, slow, arrogant count and the kick out to follow. His reaction would no doubt be priceless. Austin arrives!! Perfect time with Vince flipping Cena the bird lol and all hell breaking loose was anticipated. I liked how you had him still call Lashley's pin as should be, didn't make him come in and take Cena's side but in the end Cena was always going to prevail and it was a perfect ending to a really perfectly written match. Your use of everyone here was spot on, Cena, Lashley, the McMahon's and Austin were all used right on the money and it was an enthralling contest from start to finish.
Very tense little moment here with Cena and Austin but the right way to end a fan favourite moment, a stunner here probably wouldn't have done you any good.
Atlanta, Georgia next year, nice venue, if you make it there that'd be fantastic.
I expected a nice video package for this one, so slightly disappointed we didn't get it but I guess we all know the story by now. Only other complaint would be that we haven't heard at all from any of the men prior to this tonight. A backstage segment with one, if not all three was what I expected so slightly disappointed there wasn't anything but ah well. Moving on….Nice start to things with both Trips and Van Dam wanting a piece of HBK and they instantly turn on one another. Really solid opening from Van Dam which he needs as obviously he's not as strong on paper as these two legends. Good to see things head to the outside as that bit more drama in triple threats is great with things flying from all angles. The Moonsault off the top from Michaels was superb, typical Mr.Wrestlemania for you there. Good to see a little bit of one on one action with Michaels and Trips following that, the history speaks for itself, would've liked to see it go a little longer before Van Dam returned to the fray. Really strong period again for Van Dam here though with Michaels on the ropes, that SCM near miss followed by Van Dam's sequence of kicks were nicely done but then that cross body into a spinning spine buster from Trips was beautiful. A real fast paced little sequence followed this and it was great stuff, the Rolling Thunder from Van Dam followed by Michaels getting the upper hand and then Trips turning the tables in his favour was great as I thought each man was gonna build but they simply outdid one another. Wow, that moonsault once more from Michaels was fantastic and taking out both guys at the same time in a different fashion to earlier was very innovative. Michaels began to look strong here now and when he hit SCM on Trips I thought that may be all she wrote but Van Dam makes the save right on cue. This is one crazy match and the Frog Splash from Van Dam through the announce table was brilliant, that right there is his defining moment of the match, ala Michaels and the moonsault. Never expected the Pedigree to put away RVD so no surprise to see him kick out on that one, right call. Really enjoyed the ending to the match, a great series of events with the title belt being brought into it and then Trips and HBK one upping each other, countering for fun before Van Dam seals the deal with the Frog Splash to both men, nicely done and the feel good moment, the career defining moment is there for Rob Van Dam, great match.
Nice Backlash poster and the biblical reference in there make me think Michaels will play a big role.
Really strong video package here for the main event and this is what I would've liked to see prior to the WWE title match. Great intro for Edge here, fitting of Wrestlemania no doubt. I must say, yes Edge won the Rumble and gets to 'main event' Wrestlemania but we know that's never the case and I really would've preferred the triple threat to close this one out. The match started out as though both men realised how big a match it was and was slightly cagey with several lock ups in the early going but that's to be expected. Tista then really began to get a grip on this and he looked really strong here, looked like all the weeks of built up frustration finally coming to fruition. Some nice tactics and moves from Edge then began to come around, typical of his persona, taking any and every opportunity he gets. About time that Smackdown announce table took a seeing to lol, nice baseball slide taking Tista up and over. Things began to turn in Edge's favour after this and it needed to as you felt Batista was almost looking TOO strong from the get go. That boot to Batista's skull against the ringpost sounded sickening. Wow, spear through the barricade! Fantastic move there and this match now has it's own memorable moment to really lift it up a notch, great stuff from the Rated R Superstar. Tista regaining control was inevitable and that flying shoulder block off the top amazed me, never expected that to come from the Animal but would be sweet to see. The sleeper from Edge was a nice way to once again shift the balance and a nice tactic from Edge to try and finally wear down the big man and it worked well with the hand dropping slowly down, only for shock horror Tista to find a way out of trouble. The Spear into a Sunset Flip was great and it this point I really began to root for Edge, I wanted him to walk away with the gold here and I started to believe he could at this point. Tista though started to regain control though and when he hit that second spear I expected him to finish things off BUT NO!! Edgecution was out of nowhere and again the tide turned right on cue and the pace was phenomenal here now, really did pick up in a big way. The BatistaBomb was vicious and at that point I once again thought it was done and dusted but Edge kicked out?!? I was stunned and again I started to think maybe, just maybe Edge will pull this off but those hopes were dashed when Tista kicked out of the spear, some magnificent near falls here and really did sell just how much these two are going through to get the big one. I thought it was gonna come to a close here but a BIG TWIST with the chair coming in, Edge losing his cool was great but Charles Robinson being dragged out of the equation threw me off completely, really didn't see it coming. The Con-Chair-To would've spelled no way back and that's not how Wrestlemania's gonna come to a close so wasn't surprised to see Tista dodge it and the false finish was nicely done with no referee being around. Coach sending an official down was great after that Spear by Edge, such a Coach move to do but you just knew the Animal wouldn't let it end that way and I can imagine Edge' reaction to the kick out. And FINALLY Batista gets the job done with one more thunderous BatistaBomb to close off a fantastic main event that surpassed my expectations in all honesty. I wanted Edge to walk away with the gold but it was never gonna end that way with this rounding off the show and this does allow Edge's chase to continue which will no doubt be compelling stuff.
An absolutely fantastic show iMac, it really was. The odd complaint but that is simply personal preference, every single match on the card delivered in a big way from top to bottom. The two main events were fantastic stuff and I really enjoyed the Cena/Lashley match, a lot more than I expected to. You've created some stars tonight, Kennedy, Umaga even in defeat and Van Dam is now legit with that win. I know this is a lot to read butI hope you can take at least something, anything from it. I really, really look forward to where this thread goes from now and all I can say is congratulations on this, you deserved it as the build has been fantastic and you pulled it off big time. Well done

"My family is happy for me. My mom knows that this is my dream and she's proud that I am in this position. My brother, DeAndre, is behind me too. He knows this is what I want, and he was telling me to go. He is behind me... they all are behind me."
Morgan had a huge junior season for the Wolfpack. An All-ACC selection, Morgan led the team in tackles (97) and tied for the lead in interceptions (3). He also totaled a team-high six pass breakups after splitting time at rover and free safety.
He feels he projects as a free safety on the next level, and that is where he is hearing he will play. The NFL notified Morgan that he projected as a fourth-round pick, but he believes that with a strong combine performance he can go even higher.
"The NFL gave me a fourth-round grade," said Morgan. "I was a junior and they said that was a safe projection.
"I didn't run [for NFL scouts] last year, and I think that after I run well at the combine I can do better than that. I believe I can at least be a third-rounder... I probably can go as high as the second."
Morgan wouldn't confirm that he signed with an agent, but he stated that he has all but decided on who he will ink with as he prepares for the draft.
"More than likely it will be CAA Sports," Morgan said. "I'm already out here in Phoenix, Arizona getting ready for this draft... doing the things I need to do where I can be selected as high as I can."
The hardest part of Morgan's decision? That would be informing the Wolfpack coaches he wouldn't be returning.
"It wasn't really a hard decision because I know this is what I want to do, but the hardest thing was telling my coaches."
Morgan has tallied nearly all the necessary credits to graduate, as he was honored on Senior Day. He is just an internship away from receiving his North Carolina State diploma.
Morgan is expected to be the only Wolfpack player to declare early for the NFL Draft. However, nothing will be official until the January 15th deadline has passed.

Are all hardwoods (flooring? created equal???
I realize this may sound like a truly dumb question, but are all hardwoods about the same? Are there 'better' brands and if so, could someone steer me in that direction? Also, which do you think is harder, oak or bamboo? I apologize if these are severely dopey questions...I'm very new to all of this...thanks, ann
If Bamboo has been carmelized, it makes it as soft as Oak.
No matter what floor you buy, it WILL scratch and dent.
So buy the harder wood for extra protection, not total prevention.
Brazillian cherry (Jatoba)
Some woods are not stained, and the color goes all the way thru. That can be a benefit too.
Plus there are solids and engineered products that will be valuable depending on the sandable thickness.

DSLR Controller was the first and is still the best app to fully control your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device, with nothing more than a USB cable. No computer or laptop required, no root required. All you need is a compatible mobile device, a compatible camera, and the right USB cable. If you have Wi-Fi-capable EOS model or a WFT box, it also possible to connect via Wi-Fi.
BREAKING NEWS: Turn a cheap TP-Link TL-MR3040 pocketable wireless router into a Wi-Fi module for any supported Canon EOS model, and use DSLR Controller wirelessly!
ALTERNATIVELY: Do the same thing with the even cheaper Nexx WT3020!
DSLR Controller is the oldest and most complete app to remote control a Canon EOS DSLR from a smartphone or tablet. It offers you remote liveview, control of most common settings, capture, focus and zoom control, image and video review, timelapse, HDR/AEB, focus bracketing - and much more! See the about page for a full list of features, system requirements and screenshots.
DSLR Controller has been covered by several large news outlets, as well as a number of magazines. A prominent core developer of Android itself even called it his app of the year.

Wireless HD is still struggling to attain a foothold in the industry, but that hasn't stopped version 2.0 making its first formal appearance.
The new spec is both backwards compatible with its predecessor and vastly improves bandwidth managing a whopping 10 to 28Gbps. This vastly increases the future proofing of Wireless HD (also known as WiHD) making it capable of supporting 4K resolutions. Also in there are 3D over WiHD standards, HDCP 2.0 DRM support and the ability to perform lightning quick file transfers to and from hardware which could make streaming a dream.
Of course all this sounds fantastic in theory, just as Wireless HD 1.0 sounds fantastic in theory, but the big problem up to now has been cost. Unfortunately there has been nothing to indicate that v2.0 will be any cheaper, but it is an open secret that everyone knows price erosion is the only way to make it take-off.
Still with home cinema equipment ever more stylish and wife-friendly, cables remain the biggest issue for most users in their setups. Fingers crossed, Wireless HD 2.0 will be the standard to make the breakthrough...

Photoacoustic effects in nanocomposite structure 'porous silicon-liquid'

Photoacoustic effect in nanocomposite structure 'porous silicon-liquid' has been investigated. Main mechanisms involved in the formation of photoacoustic signal in such structures have been experimentally studied. Liquids with different viscosity (ethanol and acetone) filling the nanopores have been used. A proposed mathematical model describing the photoacoustic signal formation was found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. The role of thermally induced pressures provoked by the liquids confined inside the nanopores in the photoacoustic process has been analyzed.
KeywordsPorous silicon Photoacoustic and photothermal phenomena Nanocomposite structures
'Porous matrix-liquid' structures are widely used in such fields of science and technology as medicine, biology, geology, chemistry, etc.[1]. This is important to know mechanical, thermal, optical, and other properties of these structures from an application point of view. Investigations of such properties allow to obtain a lot of useful information about the hosting porous matrix, behavior of the liquids in the confining pore spaces, (for instance, properties of nanofluids), as well as about the whole composite porous matrix-liquid structure.
Photoacoustic (PA) techniques have proven to be capable for studying of porous materials[2] and layered structures[3]. This is mainly due to the fact that, in most cases of their practical implementations, they are nondestructive. In particular, it has been already demonstrated the possibility of using PA techniques for the study of fluid migration in porous materials[4]. Moreover, the PA signal detected by a piezoelectric registration was shown[5] to be sensitive both to thermally induced pressures (TIP) of the liquids localized inside the pores of the composite 'porous silicon-liquid' system and to the pressure relaxation phenomena. Thus, understanding of the PA transformation effects in the porous materials with empty or filled pores enables development of new experimental and diagnostic methods (including in situ methods in the manufacturing process) for characterization of such materials and composites.
In this paper, photoacoustic signals recorded with a piezoelectric transducer in the nanocomposite structure porous silicon-liquid are theoretically simulated and experimentally measured. In particular, the influence of thermally induced pressures of the liquid in the pores on shape and parameters of the photoacoustic response is analyzed in detail.
The mesoporous silicon layers were prepared by anodic etching. Highly boron-doped p+-type (0.01 to 0.02 Ω.cm) double-sided polished (100)-oriented Si wafers were electrochemically treated. Etching solution contained a 1:1 volume mixture of concentrated aqueous HF acid (49%) and pure ethanol. A constant anodic current density depending on the desirable porosity value was applied for various times to ensure different thicknesses of the final porous layer. A permanent stirring of the etching solution was applied in order to evacate hydrogen bubbles formed during the anodization process.
Temperature distribution
where c and ρ are the heat capacity and volume density, respectively; χ, the thermal conductivity. The boundary conditions for this equation are as follows:
where ωn =2πn/Tp (n is the integer number); n = 0 in the sum term corresponding to the averaged intensity distribution for one period has been omitted.
The constants,,, and can be obtained from the boundary conditions.
Thermally induced pressure
where ε is the porosity, βTl is the coefficient of volume thermal expansion of the liquid, K is the fluid permeability of the porous silicon, η is the liquid's viscosity, β is the liquid's compressibility.
The constants and can be obtained from the boundary conditions.
Photoacoustic signal formation
This source consists of two components: (1) the thermoelastic stresses of the porous matrix and monocrystalline Si wafer (first term) as well as (2) the TIPs of the liquid inside the pores (second term).
whereis the function describing the voltage excitation performance depending on a point at which the elastic force is applied.
Results and discussion
As one can see from Figures2 and3, the PA signal obtained for the porous Si-liquid structure is significantly different from the PA signal obtained on the similar structure without liquid (see reference[8], for example). In particular, at least two main characteristic features of the transient PA signals recorded from the nanocomposite structure porous Si-liquid can be noted: (1) a sharp initial rise is followed by (2) a more or less pronounced bend. These features become to be well resolved especially for relatively high porosity and larger thickness values, and the following characteristic sequence can be observed: sharp rise -maximum -bend -minimum -additional slight signal growth. These features are ensured by the TIP appearance (first feature) and relaxation (second feature) of the liquid inside the pores. The TIP arises due to significant differences between the parameters of the liquid and solid matrices (in particular, thermal expansion coefficients and compressibility). The time positions of these features depend on the thermophysical properties of liquid and solid matrix composites, fluid viscosity, the permeability K, and the thickness of the porous layer.
As we can see in Figure3a, the first feature shifts toward the lower time range when thermal conductivity increases. It can be explained by the fact that thermal energy achieves more rapidly in Si wafer. Consequently, it leads to (a) the decrease of the liquid heating and (b) the general changes of relation between thermoelastic stresses and TIP contributions in the resulting structural deformations. Figure3b illustrates influence of porous matrix permeability on the temporal shape of the PA signal. The first feature is shifted to the lower time edge with increasing permeability. The similar qualitative result is observed if the liquid viscosity decreases. This is due to the fact that the TIP relaxation time increases as a result of decreasing dissipative forces. Taking into account all these effects, the experimental PA signals can be perfectly fitted by the mathematical model described previously and by considering general thermophysical properties of the porous matrix-liquid composite, viscosity, permeability K, and thickness of the porous layer (for example, see comparison between experimental and simulated signals shown in Figure3).
In this paper, experimental and theoretical investigations of photoacoustic effect in nanocomposite porous silicon-liquid structures have been reported. The role of thermal-induced pressures of liquids confined inside the nanopores in formation of the photoacoustic signal has been highlighted. The influence of liquid and porous matrix parameters on the temporal shape of the photoacoustic signal has been demonstrated.
