Community InvolvementSince its inception in 2000, the Krewe of Muses has always viewed community involvement as an important component of its mission. Of course, hosting a free parade for the community is, in itself, a public gift. The Krewe's initial vision for its parade was to have it be collaboratively sponsored by the community. To this end, our first parade featured guest artists who helped decorate the floats and local school children who made the masks worn by our riders. In our second year, we expanded our community involvement to include adult groups such as senior citizens and individuals in rehabilitative environments, who took over the mask-decorating activities. In this way, adults who might not be able to attend our parade could contribute in a meaningful way towards throwing the party, and those who could attend would be able to see their handiwork actually in use by riders. This program continued through 2005, when Katrina displaced or eliminated many of the programs operated by our mask-decorating community partners. In addition, in 2002 and 2003, school children made headdresses that complemented the themes of each float to adorn the heads of the riders. In 2003, the headdress program was shifted to a contest conducted among our riders, who are encouraged to procure local artists to make those headdresses.
However, area children have not been forgotten. From our very first year, a cup-decorating contest has produced the artwork on the cups thrown by riders. Each year, the cup contest includes a basic lesson about the Muses of Greek mythology, and a particular Muse is featured for the year. The winner's school receives a $500 donation towards its art programming, which was increased to $1,000 in 2008. Our winners have been: 2001, Natalie Sciortino of Ben Franklin; 2002, Carl Trim of Rabouin and the Ya/Ya group; 2003, Arwen Byrd of Ben Franklin; 2004, Kevin Thomas of Warren Easton; 2005, Rashawn Williams of Rabouin; 2006, Erica Aupied of Hahnville High School; 2007, Alisha Lewis of McMain; 2008, Dat Nguyen of McMain; 2009, Lauren Moret of Hynes Elementary; 2010 Dylan Pham of McMain and in 2011, Michael Washington of O. Perry Walker. We have also sponsored public displays of submitted artwork at venues such as the Contemporary Arts Center and the World Trade Center lobby.
The feature Muse program was expanded in 2002 to focus on a local charity that supports the cause championed by that year's Muse. A local woman who exemplifies that cause is honored and given a free ride in our parade. A charitable contribution is made by the Krewe to the selected charity. The following are our feature Muses and the honorees and charitable recipients:
Krewe of Muses has also annually donated a ride in our parade to area charities to enable them to sell the ride to raise funds for their programs. The Krewe particularly favors organizations which provide services to women and children. Recipients of our donated ride have included Newcomb College, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Grace House, and Dress for Success. In 2007, in order to maximize the proceeds that our recipient charities receive from the donated ride, we began a program of auctioning off the ride at our Twelfth Night party and donating the proceeds. This event resulted in a donation of over $2,000 to Raintree in 2007, and was part of the overall fundraiser for St. Jude Community Center in 2008. In 2009, raffle proceeds plus the auctioned ride raised over $4,000 for Lindy's Place. In 2010, the ride was auctioned via e-Bay and $2,949 was raised for our 2010 recipient, House of Ruth. St. Bernard Project received the $3,877 paid for the auctioned ride in 2011.
Our featured symbol, the shoe, has inspired another program instituted by the Krewe – shoe drives to match the overflow from our members' excessive shoe collections with women at area rehabilitative programs who are always happy to receive a new pair of shoes! In addition, shoes have been donated to an area literacy program as incentives for women to participate in the program. In 2007, the program was expanded to include shoes for men and children, who share our love of footwear. Additionally, the artistry exhibited by Muses who decorate glitter shoes has produced profits for non-profit organizations when glitter shoes are donated for silent auctions held at these charities' own fundraising events. In 2010, the St. Bernard Project, the American Heart Association, and the Women's Business Enterprise Council South were recipients of custom-made shoes for their silent auctions.
The Krewe of Muses has been spurred to benevolence as a result of tragedy. After the events of 9/11, the Krewe donated $1,000 each to the New Orleans Police and Fire Departments and donated free rides in our 2002 parade to two police officers and fire fighters. In 2004, the Krewe created and funded a trust to benefit David Allen Bell, the one-year old child of a woman who was killed on the parade route during our parade that year. In order to stimulate the raising of funds for this trust, the Krewe instituted evening cocktail hours called "Thirsty Thursdays," which featured door fees or donation from the proceeds of drinks sales as well as raffles of donated items. The Krewe also created the Muses Foundation, a donor-advised charitable fund maintained by the Greater New Orleans Foundation. This foundation enables the Krewe to receive deductible donations which are utilized to fund our charitable gifts. After funding over $15,000 for the Bell Trust through Muse donations, proceeds from the Thirsty Thursday events were then directed to our Foundation.
In 2007, the Thirsty Thursdays were revised to direct the proceeds of each separate event to a particular designated recipient. Charities that have received the proceeds of Thirsty Thursdays have included Girls First, the Metropolitan Battered Women's Program, CASA New Orleans, and the Youth Rescue Initiative. More recently, we raised $1,260 for Roots of Music at our April 2010 Thirsty Thursday. In 2007, we combined our Twelfth Night party with a vendor bazaar for the benefit of St. Jude Community Center, which provides services to the homeless, including women with children. That event netted over $10,000 for St. Jude. In 2008, the bazaar was held at Kingsley House and raised over $16,700 for that organization, and again in 2009 the bazaar raised over $11,000 for Kingsley House. Our summer party also has become a fundraiser, with proceeds from the 2008 event going to the Moms and Babes program of Covenant House, and the 2009 event raised over $6,500 for the New Orleans Women's Shelter. The recipient of the $10,246 raised at the 2010 summer party was Hagar's House.
Another tragedy to which the Krewe responded with enormous empathy and generosity was Hurricane Katrina. Despite the great losses suffered by a significant percentage of our membership, the riders clamored to parade in 2006 as an act of healing. To assist affected members, the Krewe offered free throw packages to those riders whose Katrina losses might have otherwise prevented them from being able to participate in our parade. The Krewe also made emergency cash grants in 2005 to members who were financially devastated by the hurricane in order to "tide them over." To assist our most vital community partner, the New Orleans Police Department, the Krewe made a grant in 2006 of $50,000 to the department and challenged other area Mardi Gras organizations to do the same. For our 2006 parade, we offered free rides and throw packages to twelve area first responders, including animal rights and healthcare workers and area law enforcement officials who valiantly served the community in the early post-Katrina days. In 2008, the Foundation donated $2,000 to Katrina Warriors to help fund the Metropolitan Battered Women's Program in connection with the Vagina Monologues Tenth Anniversary celebration in New Orleans. Additionally, in 2010, we collaborated with St. Bernard Project to raise $30,000, $17,000 of which was dedicated to the Katrina rebuild of the home of single mother Pamela Johnson in New Orleans, and the excess for the charity. An amount of $5,445 was raised at our 2010 brunch for this cause, plus an additional $1,199 was raised via solicitations of members. The Twelfth Night Party raised $7,870 and the auctioned ride raised $3,877.
Bereavement donations have also been made, including $100 to Jewish Family Services in honor of member Roz Koretzky, $500 to Susan G. Komen Foundation in honor of Pixie Naquin, and $200 to Bridge House in honor of lieutenant Jennifer Badeaux.
The television show Treme' filmed part of our 2011 parade for inclusion in its depiction of our 2007 parade, and in exchange, the producers of Treme' funded a $2,000 donation in 2011 to the Backstreet Museum through our foundation.
The Krewe has annually thrown a private parade to the residents of Lazarus House, who are one of our most valued community partners and graciously decorated our masks for five years. The residents are always enthusiastic recipients of our best throws. We also throw a mini-parade for the residents of St. Margaret's Nursing Home. Muses has previously sponsored mini parades for patients at Children's Hospital and the children's ward at Tulane Medical Center. Another Muse activity to benefit children is the sponsorship and staffing of children's art tables at local arts events such as the Arts Council's fall fair, KIDsmART's spring fair and other events. The Krewe has also financially sponsored teams to walk in the Police Foundation's Walk the Beat event and organized a team to help rebuild houses for St. Bernard Project.

Storms & Global Warming II
One argument is as follows: as the globe warms, the area with high temperatures will increase, increasing the area on which tropical cyclones can spawn. However, climate model studies differ in their account on the tends in TC frequencies. I'm not aware of of any study which correlates the TC activity with the area of high temperatures, but such an analysis would perhaps be more appropriate than just correlating with the SST within one specific region. The notion of more intense TCs with higher temperatures is nevertheless supported by model studies from GFDL.
From NOAA
There have been TCs already in this hurricane season. According to Gerry Bell from NOAA's, seven TCs during June and July is a new record. NOAA also forecasts a high hurricane activity for the remainder of the season, and time will show if this season will match the 2004 in terms of number of tropical cyclones. But we do not yet know if this constitutes an emerging trend – only hindsight after decades will tell.
Thus, the bottom line so far seems to be that SSTs play a role for the TC statistics (destructive power). The most dominant change in TC activity is related to natural cycles (on inter-annual and inter-decadal time scales), which we would call 'noise' in a trend analysis in which the trend would be the 'signal'. There is little evidence of a trend in the TC frequency, however there are some indications of a trend in the destructive capability of the TCs. Conlusions can differ depending what you look at: frequency, intensity, duration of storms (life times) or destructive potential. Emanuel suggests that the recent upturn in the tropical cyclones' destructiveness can have two explanations: increased level of intensity (consistent with discussions on Storms and Climate Change and Some recent updates) or longer cyclone life times.
Note that when it comes to mid-latitude storms, there is a different story because they are affected by different types of instabilities (baroclinic) and different conditions.

Yes that is the main purpose of loosen the screws, but you can get a little more adjustment too, not much but it could help in some situations.Quote:
all loosening the screws does is to allow the dial to be zeroed once the scope is set.
Also it's hard to figure out what's going on some times without actually messing with it. I hope it's something minor
I think the rail on the rifle is not aligned properly, and that the problem is not with the scope at all. The obvious and easy solution is to shim the scope mount.
Mick, what would be the best way to shim the scope mount. When I got the receiver back in 06 to build my PSL kit the rail wasn't cut down for my Romanian scope to work. I ended up using a dremel tool to trim the rail down to get the scope to fit.
Use a piece of feeler gauge to shim it. Some where on the net there is a tutorial with pics, but I can't find the bloody thing.
Basically all you need to do is to place a shim under the rear of the mount where the little bolt secures it. You will need to remove or at lest slacken the brass coloured screws first.
Thanks Mick for your help .

Hi there girls. I just started shooting clays this summer and am thinking of giving duck hunting a go (at least once with my boyfriend). I signed up on here to learn all i can so i don't seem too dumb when i do go out hunting with him. I would love to hear any tips, advice and such you have to offer. And if anyone else is really small (5feet 2inches, 105lbs) i would love to know what semi auto works best for you. I'm having a heck of a time finding a gun that doesn't beat the crap out of my shoulder after shooting 100 clays. Lately I've been using a bretta urika. It's nice but i couldn't afford to buy a gun like this for myself.
looking forward to chatting with you all, Jacquie

TJDS on TYT: Gun Violence -its all the poor's fault.
At a recent Oklahoma City town hall addressing what is causing the gun problem in America, some brilliant suggestions including "psychotropic drugs" were introduced, but Rep. James Lankford had a "better" solution- blame "welfare moms!" Poor people are obviously the problem. Comedian Jimmy Dore and political analyst Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) break it all down on this installment of The Jimmy Dore Show.

before you do any of that measure the distance between the top and bottom lines of the left and right quarters and doors. If it's the quarter the distance between the uppers and lowers will be shorter on the right quarter. If you put tape right on the peak of the body line it will help the measurement be accurate enough where a clear discrepancy will jump out, that is of course if the aftermarket quarter has a bodyline that's pretty close in roundness to the original on the driver's side.
So if that's it and you still have the original quarter you can do an awesome open butt weld repair. If not, I would try to use a mini air saw due to the blade being thin so when you cut out the piece you plan on reusing you will have more metal on it. an air saw with a sawzall blade will give you more control for straighter cuts.
you can also cut out your quarter with a spot welder bit for the plugs and and carefully use a cutt off wheel for the welds at the flange up top but you probably won't be able to just loosen the front and bring it down. It would have to be the whole quarter, and you would also have to figure out why it's not going down...wheel house? Flange to rocker ? door jamb opening bend to rocker?
Sometimes the corners of the flange that tucks under just needs to be snipped cause there's not enough room in there for it, or just bend the corners. Sometimes it's the door jamb bend that goes to door gap to rocker gap. Just have to figure out why.

Comments about oreilly AIR for Javascript Developers Pocket Guide:
Title: Adobe Integrated Runtime (Air) for JavaScript Developers - Pocket GuideAuthor: Mike chambers, Daniel Dura, Dragos Georgita & Kevin HoytPublisher: O'ReillyPrice: 19.99, July 2008 versionThis is a handy book to have, the only way it would be better if it was digital. Oh, wait! it is, and you can have it 45 days for free. This is great, and as an Adobe User Group Member that's another 20% off of the list price. I found this guide to be very helpful, I was able to just get my pathing setup and testing the configuration with a Hello World example.So as a quick starter, this is a great reference and a must have for an introduction. I am not so sure if this would be used more as my experience grows as I would really like to have a deeper reference... But there is enough information here, that I could get away for a while with this for starters, then get into the meat later on. For sure, if you get a more comprehensive book, your going to need this "get started quick guide."

Hamas offers Gaza truce with Israel
Hamas leaders yesterday handed over proposals for a truce with Israel in the Gaza Strip, with a timetable for extending it to the West Bank, at a meeting of the Palestinian Islamist group with Egyptian mediators.
Former Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud el-Zahar and former Interior Minister Saeed Seyam held talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, Egypt's main contact with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and Israel, the Egyptian state news agency Mena said.
A Palestinian official close to the talks said the Hamas delegation would tell Mr Suleiman it is prepared to accept the idea of a staged truce, starting with Gaza only.
"Hamas's position is that they agree to a calm in Gaza and the West Bank but it would begin in Gaza at this stage and then apply to the West Bank after an agreed and specified period of time," said the official, who declined to be named.
Hamas, which controls Gaza but has prominent members resident in the West Bank, has previously insisted that a truce should begin and apply at the same time to both areas.
Israel said it was ready for "quiet" at the Gaza border, but that it would require a complete halt to attacks by Hamas on Israelis, a stop to cross-border rocket fire from all Palestinian groups and an end to weapon smuggling into Gaza.
"We can't have a period of quiet that will just be the quiet before the storm," said Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
The Palestinian official said Hamas made any truce conditional on Israel opening all of Gaza's border crossings and halting military action in the territory.
The Islamist group had backing from other Palestinian militant factions in the enclave, he added.
Egypt would relay Hamas's proposal to Israel in the coming days, he added. Israeli officials said they were sceptical about the chances of reaching a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
"We are not holding our breath," a senior Israeli official said. "We certainly don't want Hamas to have an interval to get stronger."
Israel has said it is not negotiating a truce with Hamas but would have no reason to launch attacks on the Gaza Strip if rocket fire from the territory ceased. But it says it reserves the right to take military action to protect its citizens.
The Egyptian intelligence chief, who is in regular contact with the Israelis, has been trying to negotiate a truce between Israel and Hamas, especially since Palestinians broke through the border with Egypt in January to escape a long Israeli siege.
Former US President Jimmy Carter, on a Middle East tour which ended this week, tried to persuade Hamas to declare a unilateral ceasefire with Israel. Hamas declined on the grounds that Israel had not responded to similar gestures in the past.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza in the past 10 days. Three Israeli soldiers were killed on the border with Gaza on April 16.
Mena quoted a senior Egyptian official as saying that a truce would contribute to talks between Israel and the rival Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, as well as to reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah.

close battle, SJD wins
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I vote Scaure.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
SJD 2pts - 2 good disses(MC^2, integrity&spelling)
L7 10pts - good disses/flips(rehashdubs. fabrication, no buyers), great disses(lobbyist, titpics), good exit
SJD 0pts - negative for trying to defend titvertising, good flip(dissing me for singing)
L7 9pts - good disses/flips(fiction, yells to prove he's right, singing you suck at it), great disses(dubpop), great exit flip
L7, that's a scuare.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Scuare just holds his style and composure imo that is the coolest way to approach the battle.
SenatorJD raises his voice and almost shouts into the mic fro me that always is a sign of weakness and so does my buddhistic monk kung fu trainer.
Some blow here and there but scuare has more complexity in his rhymes.
It feels more intelligent to me. ( does that win a battle? not really...)
All in all and i am a fan of SJD it goes to square. Just better flow, composure and punches with more depth.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Firstly... Mastering fail. For a final, was SOME effort too much to expect?
Now, I'm not hip hops biggest fan but I think delivery is important. Scuare's lyrics I thought were awesome, but the delivery just isn't there for me. I feel like he is just chatting to me in a cafe lol... worst description ever. I guess the lower volume didn't help but his voice just isn't interesting to me. Subjective.
I am a fan of SJD. He has a strong vocal presence with a splash of melodic flare. In regards to content, well, he doesn't win them all but he sure as hell makes it up on delivery. End of the day, this is an entertainment game and SJD was more entertaining.
Winner by a facebook page full of boobs... SJD.

The School of Nursing provides a program of graduate study that leads to a master of science in nursing (MSN) with specialization as a family nurse practitioner (FNP). FNPs function as primary health-care providers for individuals of all ages and their families. They practice in a variety of rural and urban ambulatory settings, such as physician offices, hospital outpatient clinics, health maintenance organizations, community health clinics and specialty clinics. Graduates are eligible for state and national certification. The MSN program received full accreditation (10 years) from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) in 2013, meeting nationally-mandated standards.
The FNP program is a part-time, three year, cohort-based curriculum consisting of 45 credit hours and 720 supervised clinical hours. Courses are delivered using a mix of on-campus and online methods. On-campus courses are scheduled one day per week. Clinical practicum hours may be completed in the student's community with an approved preceptor. Students must pass a comprehensive examination during the final semester of the program.
- A completed MSN application.
- A BSN from a nationally accredited nursing program.
- A minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
- A current unrestricted RN license.
- One year of clinical experience as a professional RN within the past three years.
- Three references from professional colleagues (forms provided).
- A one-page, typed narrative of the applicant's professional experience and future professional goals.
- Completion of an inferential statistics course (recommended).
The School of Nursing also offers a post-master's family nurse practitioner (FNP) certificate. The post-master's FNP certificate is designed for nurses who already possess a nursing master's degree but who wish to pursue an FNP specialty. All candidates must make an application to the program and must meet the admission requirements for the MSN program. Course of study is individualized based upon previous course work.
Candidates who are already certified nurse practitioners and are seeking additional certification as an FNP will need to meet different requirements from those MSN graduates seeking NP certification for the first time. A portfolio must be submitted to verify previous work/clinical experiences. The portfolio will be used to individualize a program of study.

EPI 400 top/bottom removal

Has anyone ever removed the top (or bottom) panel from an EPI 400 tower? I see a line of staples along each face (behind the grille) about 1/4" from the top. I'm assuming that the staples are driven thru the side face into cleats attached to the underside of the top panel, and that if I remove the staples, I may be able to pop the top off. I also expect that the joints are glued in addition to the staples. I'm worried that if I remove the staples and try pounding the top off, that the glue between the panels will be stronger than the particle board, and something will break, instead of parting at the seams.
If it's easy enough to do, I'd like to remove the tops to re-veneer them, and remove the bottoms to make it easier to rewire everything.
While I'm at it, can anyone recommend a specific wood veneer and finish that will be a good match to the classic EPI walnut?

|Those cabinets are very well built, and I suspect that you will break them before you can disassemble them. How about putting a smoked ground-edge glass top on them? That way, drinks and plants, etc can be placed on them without damage.

Home > Events and News > Research In the News > Transit Transparency: Open Data in Action
A much talked about innovation in public policy recently has been the push to achieve greater transparency and accountability through open government strategies, where the public has access to government information and can participate in co-producing public services. At the Transparency Policy Project we have been investigating the dynamics behind one of the most successful implementations of open government: the disclosure of data by transit agencies in the United States. In just a few years, a rich community has developed around this data, with visionary champions for disclosure inside transit agencies collaborating with eager software developers to deliver multiple ways for riders to access real-time information about transit.
Transit agencies have long used intelligent systems for scheduling and monitoring the location of their vehicles. However, this real-time information had previously been available only to engineers inside agencies, leaving riders with printed timetables and maps that, at best, represent the stated intentions of a complex system that can be disturbed by traffic, weather, personnel issues and even riders themselves.
Recognizing the need for access to this information on-the-go and in digital format, Bibiana McHugh of Portland's TriMet agency worked with Google in 2006 to integrate timetable data into Google Maps, eventually becoming Google Transit. McHugh went further, publicly releasing TriMet's operations data: first the static timetables, and eventually real-time, dynamic data feeds of vehicle locations and arrival predictions. Local programmers have responded with great ingenuity, building 44 different consumer-facing applications for the TriMet system, at no cost to the agency.
Other transit agencies have adopted this open data approach with varying outcomes. The most successful agencies work closely with local programmers to understand which data is in demand, troubleshoot and improve the quality of the data feeds. Programmers also make the link between end users and transit agencies by filtering up comments from app users. This iterative feedback loop relies on a champion within the agency to build strong relationships with the local developer community. Of the five transit agencies we studied, Portland's TriMet and Boston's MBTA exemplify this approach and have generated the highest ratio of apps per transit rider (see table). Meanwhile, the most reluctant agency to adopt open data, Washington DC's WMATA, only had 11 apps serving its customers in 2011.
Table: Transit Apps and Ridership by City
The number of apps built by independent developers is important, indicating the variety of options riders have in selecting which interfaces (mobile, desktop, map-based, text, audio) and platforms best fit their needs to access transit information. As we learned from our research on what makes transparency effective, simply providing information is not enough. Format and content matter, and should address the needs of a targeted audience. What we have seen in our study of transit transparency is that local programmers have been the critical intermediaries, taking raw data and generating a variety of information tools that transit agencies could not have imagined on their own. For other open government initiatives to spark this level of innovation and public benefit, they must identify their audience of information intermediaries and foster those relationships.

I have a shot where a vehicle is flying over a city. The vehicle is a sequence of 3D rendered TGAs with alpha. When I place it over the background and apply any effects, like contrast & brightness, those effects appear to be affecting the alpha channel (not good) as well as the RGB channels (good). This ends up creating an unwanted outline around the vehicle as I change the effects values. Is there a way to apply these effects without them affecting the alpha channel, too?
Also, I rendered the 3D elements with "pre-multiplied" on. Should it be off?

Check Out the GridIron BlogRSS
Jan 31, 2014 CATEGORIES: Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, Super Bowl Dip Recipes, Super Bowl Rundown
With only two days until kick-off, we know you're planning your game time spread and studying up on what you should know about The Big Game. We are helping you out.
Here at Gridiron Belles, we don't claim to be gourmet chefs so we've collected three of our easiest game day snacks (mostly from Pinterest) to inspire you. We kept them simple because, well, we like simple recipes that make us look good and taste even better. These are all self-explanatory– just make them look like a football!
You also need to know the background on The Big Game to stay relevant in game time and post game day conversations about commercials, quarterbacks (and so much more). We were going to tell you everything we know about football (which is a lot), but our friends at theSkimm, aren't busy writing a second book like we are and they went ahead and provided a run down as well as any Gridiron Belle could. So we are sharing that with YOU. (see below and link above) They really did a great job.
Remember, know enough about the game to chat about it with all other guests– just not during the game– or, wait, yes, you're better off chatting during the game on Sunday than the highly anticipated commercials.
Xs and Os,

theSkimm's Guide to the Super Bowl
THE STORY: Are you ready for some football?! Yes or no, Super Bowl XLVIII is here.
HANG ON, DOING MATH. It's number 48. There is one Manning, two teams, and lots of parties. And someone will get a ring at the end of the night. It's still not you.
WHEN IS IT? Sunday after brunch. 6:30 ET. Watch it on Fox. Or if you prefer your computer to a bar, it's live streaming on Fox's sports app.
WHO'S GOING? The Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. And Richard Sherman's ego (see below). Yup, the only two states who have legalized recreational use of marijuana are in the Super Bowl.
DOES THE WINNER GET SOMETHING GOOD? Rings and a parade. The MVP usually takes a trip to Disney World. So basically your eight-year-old self would be the happiest person ever. If the Broncos win, Mike Adams will walk to his hometown of Paterson, NJ, wearing his helmet and pads, because growing up people told him he'd never get out.
WHERE IS IT? New York City — just kidding. Although Times Square did become Super Bowl Boulevard, the game is actually in East Rutherford, NJ. Nope, the Northeast still doesn't get warm in February. And yes, it's vortexing. But apparently there is such a thing as Football Gods, because the low is only expected to be a balmy 28 degrees.
SOMEONE TOLD ME IT'S IN OMAHA? No. But you will hear that a lot because Peyton Manning likes to call it during games to keep the defense guessing. And us. Don't ask questions.
DO I KNOW ANYONE GOING? We just told you– a Manning. The Peytonone. He is the Broncos QB1 and coming off one of the best seasons in NFL history. He's 37 which means he's an elder in football years. And has had four neck surgeries. Ouch.
WHO'S THE GUY EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT? Richard Sherman. He made headlines two weeks ago for his post-game interview, during which he had a lot of things to say about opponent Michael Crabtree. Love him or hate him, he's very impressive– he's from Compton and made it to Stanford. Then was a 5th round NFL pick. Now, he's the best cornerback in the league — just ask him… and Beats.
IS IT HALF TIME YET? The Peyton Manning of opera– Renee Fleming– will perform the national anthem and bring some class to your nachos and beer. Bruno Mars, and not Bruce Springsteen, has the Pepsi Halftime Show honor. The Red Hot Chili Peppers will join him. We miss last year. #BringBackBey
PROMISE NO MATH? Surprise. Four quarters. Touchdown: 6; Field goal: 3; Safety: 2; Extra point: come on…
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE ADS YET? Ad Bowl is back. Scarlett Johanssontook things too far for SodaStream by dissing Pepsi and Coke, so Fox reportedly banned her commercial. For that, and not the suggestive straw sucking. This year, Anna Kendrick is "beer girl hot." Budweiser has one with a Clydesdale and a puppy because they know how to get to us. Chobani will debut its first ad run with the big boys. But Dannon may win Yogurt Bowl because they're reuniting "Full House" — and Uncle Jesse already brought back his mullet.
WHAT'S IN THIS FOR ME? Food. And potentially cash money. The simplest way is to bet on the "money line" — AKA who wins or loses. Or you can bet on what the spread will be (see below). If you want to get fancy, there are LOTS of other things you can bet on. These are called "prop bets." Skimm HQ is betting taking out the trash on how many times the word 'legacy' will be said about Peyton.
WHAT'S THE SPREAD? No, not talking about your crudite. It refers to the expected spread between the team's final scores. Vegas favors the Broncos by 3.
From "Eh" dips to a Super Bowl Rundown
Feb 3, 2012 CATEGORIES: Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, SEC Football, Southern Belles, Super Bowl Dip Recipes, Super Bowl Rundown
I didn't like this week's posts either. My most sincere apologies for bland posts. For one, I'm over the dips–Sorry, Momo. And I'm certainly over the Super Bowl.
It was a down blog week thanks to all of the other great things going on here at Gridiron Belles HQ! (More about that later. Just know that I am going on an official visit to Mizzou on Monday and Tuesday!)
This week, I pretended that Gridiron Belles needed to care deeply about the Super Bowl. We just don't. At least not nearly as much as we needed to be reviewing notes from national signing day. (Saturday Down South Recap)
Alas, no Gridiron Belle should attend a watch party without knowing a little bit about the game on the big screen. The basics still apply: Do your research on ESPN.com, follow sports enthusiast on twitter and remember that the Super Bowl is always more about the food, commercials and never-a-dull-moment-half time show!
Quick Facts Before Sunday:
- This is Super Bowl XLVI (46)
- Kick off is at 6:29pm EST
- The game is being played in Indianapolis, IN
- The two teams playing are the New York Giants and the New England Patriots
- These two teams also played in 2008 when the Giants upset the Patriots' perfect season
- Eli Manning is the QB for the New York Giants. Eli is often referred to as "Little Brother" because his big brother is Peyton Manning… who has just been cleared to play after a season ending neck injury.
- Ole Miss is Eli Mannings alma-matter. And his father's, Archie Manning.
- Gisel's husband is the QB for the Patriots . He is often referred to as Tom Brady.
- Brady's better half on the field, Rob Gronkoski (TE), had a sprained ankle… according to Patriots coach, Bill Belichick (the guy on the sideline always wearing an inappropriately casual hooded sweatshirt), Gronkoski is OK to play. He thinks.
- Madonna is performing the half time show. Apparently at one point she sits bedazzled on a thrown. The article also says the Ceelo Green is involved with his own bedazzeling. I'm going to probably watch while standing up so I can leave the room without much effort when I get embarrassed for the duo.
- Standard watch game etiquette applies: Don't show up empty handed, be social- but not at the cost of running the game for others, send your host a thank you note!
- Rule Change: During this game, pour your drinks, fill your plates and use the restroom during the game. You know all anyone talks about on Monday is the commercials!
Enjoy the last football game for a looong time!
Xs and Os,
Christie Leigh

Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. [ Free Research Report on NUS] [ 1 ], on the other hand, is looking to report 19 percent increase in its revenue for the fourth quarter of the year. It is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter financial numbers on February 6 th. However, not all is well with Nu Skin either. The company's business model is under considerable scrutiny after the Herbalife hullabaloo in the market. Like Herbalife, Nu Skin also operates on Multi Level Marketing model and thus is likely to be taken as a pyramid scheme. Nu Skin has the usual mix of anti ageing products and nutritional supplements in its portfolio. While the company is reporting consistent growth in its sales and profits, it is difficult to ignore that MLM companies have long been accused of providing misleading figures. Therefore, it is difficult to take the financial numbers at their face value.Both Avon and Nu Skin are looking to expand their brands in international markets. While Avon started the process under its erstwhile CEO Andrea Jung and yielded lukewarm results, Nu Skin is about to go ahead with its five-year plan to consolidate its position in emerging markets like China. Avon is also looking at dire times as it plans to slash its workforce by 1,500 in order to curtail costs. The company also made questionable decision to forego Coty offer of $24.75 per share. Its stock is now trading in the vicinity of $16 a pop. Apart from tough economic scene, both the companies seem to be dealing with myriad of internal problems like questionable business model and inefficiencies. Footer:

Formatting GridBox with ColumnAlignments
A formatting question:
If we let
r1 = DisplayForm[RowBox[{"(", 1, 2, 3, ")"}]]
r2 = DisplayForm[Overscript[RowBox[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}], \[OverBracket]]]
and then put r1 and r2 together in
r3 = DisplayForm[GridBox[{{r1}, {r2}}, ColumnAlignments -> Left]]
then we get something that's not very aligned at all. (Evaluating r3
shows quit a bit of whitespace prior to the open parenthesis in r2,
making the two rows in the grid look somewhat messy).
Question: is it possible to make the "1"s align exactly in r3?
(ColumnAlignments -> "1" isn't doing the trick.)

Here's another look at our favorite teen star Miley Cyrus' hacked photos. What do you think guys? Is Miley Cyrus hot or not? Lol! Miley Cyrus in a current interview with Vanity Fair said that she wants to do a "younger, cleaner version of S*x and The City". Yeah right! She won't have any s*x at all because she personally admits that she's still a virgin. Oh yeah right again!
FOX News says:
"I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand," she tells the magazine. As a testament to her virginity, Cyrus wears a purity ring. "Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall," she says, "and I think if [abstaining] is a commitment girls make, that's great."
Is that really a purity ring or some cheap rings bought at a boutique somewhere? Well obviously if you take a look at some of her daring photos, I wouldn't believe the crap that comes out of this girl's mouth. A girl in her age does not act like that in photos. Is it just for publicity? I don't think so. The photos are a testament that Miley is indeed a sl*tty teen who in her teenage time loves to screw around.

There's nearly no such thing as a good death. Losing quickly, peacefully to cancer is worse than losing slowly and painfully. Or, it seems worse when it happens.
We shouldn't be losing loved ones to cancer, imo. That's something we should eventually not allow

It just so happens that Dean Vickard and Ashton Russ are both dying to wrap their lips around a nice hard cock, and pump an ass full of cum. What a coincidence that they're sharing the same room right now, Dean already has his cock out and strokes it until it's stiff as a tree trunk. Hung butt-fucker extraordinaire Ashton Russ joins him and these two male sluts trade a hot warm blowjobs before it's time to treat the other guy's ass like a dartboard and pump away with their huge cocks. The cum is flying before this hot fuck session is over.

Golden State Law Group offers an unmatched legal team and we make it affordable by offering very attractive INTEREST FREE financing.
When people in San Diego are earning income but for several different reasons are simply unable to keep up with their financial obligations, most feel as though there is nothing they can do but continue to suffer through the stress, the turmoil and the constant anxiety that dominates every aspect of their lives. Fortunately, there are options for people in this situation, and one such option is filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. Below you'll find a brief description of such a filing, and if you're ready to make your income work for you, contact experienced San Diego Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyers immediately.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy case is generally known as a 'wage earner's' bankruptcy because it's generally the type of relief that's chosen by those debtors who earn income but cannot keep up with their obligations. The reason this is generally the preferred form of relief for people in this position is because they basically need a reorganization of their financial pictures as well as a bit of help from the court to get their financial feet on the ground.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing basically involves the filing of petitions and documentation that's similar to other forms of consumer bankruptcy, but instead of simply liquidating assets and paying a portion of the debts that exist, the debtor files a payment plan that apportions a percentage of his or her income that will be dispersed to the existing creditors over the life of the repayment plan, which usually lasts between three and five years. When the payment plan has been completed, any remaining debts that were on the original petition are discharged by the court and thereby no longer exist.
There are many advantages to choosing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. First and foremost, the debtor will not have to liquidate his or her assets under this chapter, which means that all of the things that the debtor has worked so hard to obtain will not be lost. Vehicles, homes and the like can be retained. In addition, there is immediate relief provided by the court in the form of an Automatic Stay that's issued when the case is opened. This is basically an order issued to the creditors on the bankruptcy petition that requires them to stop with their collection efforts immediately.
Of course, proceeding through this type of case is not as easy as it sounds. The petitions need to be prepared meticulously, a meeting with creditors needs to be completed to make sure that the court approves the repayment plan and management needs to remain focused on seeing the case through the process so that the debtor can start anew when the case is complete.
If you have had enough of your financial struggles and you're ready to regain your peace of mind and your enjoyment of life, contact the San Diego Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyers at the Golden State Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Facebook honcho Mark Zuckerberg, 26, is giving away more of his money.
The young billionaire, whose wealth is estimated at $6.9 billion, is one of 16 tycoons who have just signed on to the Giving Pledge, an effort organized by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to get the world's richest people to part with more of their money for charity.
The pledge doesn't ask for specific donations, nor does it track giving. It simply asks pledge makers to give away the majority of their wealth.
More than 50 donors are on board, according to the Wall Street Journal, including AOL co-founder Steve Case, former junk-bond king Michael Milken, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and director George Lucas.

Fear of old age wears Amr Diab out
Egyptian singer Amr Diab encountered severe pain in his chest from over working himself in physical exercises in Beirut. The singer had began to workout intensively after talks of him reaching the age of 40 and no longer being the young and energetic man he always was.
According to the Saudi based Al Watan, Amr wanted to prove that he still enjoys a very healthy lifestyle and is in good shape regardless of his age, and so began working out until he could no longer stand up and began to feel severe pain in his chest. Despite going through such an ordeal, the singer kept to his promise and held a spectacular two performances at the Jordanian annual summer festival Jarash and a third in Egypt, which were brought live on the music production company Rotana's music channel.
On a different note, the shift of Diab from the Alam El Phan Music Production Company to Rotana was not as smooth as planned, but rather caused a war to break out pulling Amr in the middle. Muhsin Jaber, owner of Alam El Phan has stressed that Amr's move is not as simple as the singer thinks and still has many legal issues pending that must be resolved before the new company takes over his work.
For the past nine years, Muhsin has been Amr's right arms, in terms of defending him, helping him make the right decisions in his career path, and most important making him the star he is today. But after Amr's unexpected move to Rotana, after extensive negotiations that lasted for months, Muhsin has transformed into Amr's worst enemy and is placing the best interest of his company in front of everything else, disregarding the fact that Amr was the reason behind the company's success and brought it the most profit.
Muhsin had at first taken the news of Amr's move calmly as if no harm was done, but later on stressed that the contract between his company and Amr is very clear and according to it the singer can not abort the contract until he fulfils all its conditions which say that the singer must submit two more albums before the end of his terms with the company which is on December 31, 2003. If Amr does not abide by the contract, Muhsin has every right legally to freeze any new work by Amr in turn forbidding the new company from producing anything by the singer.
Contradicting what many thought that Muhsin will be drawn into negotiating a settlement price with Amr and peacefully dropping the issue, Muhsin has revealed that he will not agree to any deal and will in fact freeze all of Amr's work until he is provided with two more albums by the singer. The matter has also Rotana on the line after paying the singer 5 million US dollars to sign a contract, and since literally the singer needs at least two years to produce two albums a matter that can not keep Rotana quiet.
Muhsin stressed that he is not the one who put Amr in this situation, but the singer did it to himself and needs to pay the consequences for his actions. On the other hand, Amr feels that what he has done is 100 percent legal and he does not owe Muhsin anything after the contract ends.
The issue remains unsolved between the two men and will eventually be resolved in court. The once good friend of Amr has now turned against him in ways like revealing facts about the singer that show the weaker side of him. Muhsin has announced that the singer as a person is not capable of achieving the success he has reached, but it was the company that worked on creating him a star around the world.
Amr's latest album "Alim Albi Al Gharam" features twelve songs, which were written by a number of prominent poets. The new album features Amr in a new look and music styles. He combined Tango, Jazz, Techno, and eastern genres all in one. "Alim Albi Al Gharam" is shot in London. –Albawaba.com

His landlady, Mrs. penfield, promised to send me word as soon as he got back.
I presume—a—penfield, that I will be expected to make a brief address?
The argument was growing rather acrid; and penfield and the two drivers were interested listeners.
A—penfield, may I ask in which direction the tide of battle finally turned?
But penfield only grinned more inscrutably than ever and closed the door behind him.
"I would like a full report of the battle, penfield," he said.
Mrs. penfield reflected, while three backs, two broad and one slender and sinuous as a tea-plant, receded toward the shrubbery.
penfield, suppose you retire to the waiting-room for a few minutes.
"Not unless Butler forgets me," said Mrs. penfield, whereat both ladies laughed the laugh that rounds a pleasant visit.
"penfield, my boy;" his voice was firm and brave as he spoke.

The popular open source KDE desktop environment for Unix was built with Qt, a C++ class library for writing GUI applications that run on Unix, Linux, Windows 95/98, Windows 2000, and Windows NT platforms. Qt emulates the look and feel of Motif, but is much easier to use. Best of all, after you have written an application with Qt, all you have to do is recompile it to have a version that works on Windows. Qt also emulates the look and feel of Windows, so your users get native-looking interfaces.Platform independence is not the only benefit. Qt is flexible and highly optimized. You'll find that you need to write very little, if any, platform-dependent code because Qt already has what you need. And Qt is free for open source and Linux development.Although programming with Qt is straightforward and feels natural once you get the hang of it, the learning curve can be steep. Qt comes with excellent reference documentation, but beginners often find the included tutorial is not enough to really get started with Qt. That's whereProgramming with Qt steps in. You'll learn how to program in Qt as the book guides you through the steps of writing a simple paint application. Exercises with fully worked out answers help you deepen your understanding of the topics. The book presents all of the GUI elements in Qt, along with advice about when and how to use them, so you can make full use of the toolkit. For seasoned Qt programmers, there's also lots of information on advanced 2D transformations, drag-and-drop, writing custom image file filters, networking with the new Qt Network Extension, XML processing, Unicode handling, and more.Programming with Qt helps you get the most out of this powerful, easy-to-use, cross-platform toolkit. It's been completely updated for Qt Version 3.0 and includes entirely new information on rich text, Unicode/double byte characters, internationalization, and network programming.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The bird featured on the cover of Programming with Qt is a toucan. Thirty-eight species of toucans are found in tropical America from southern Mexico to Bolivia and northern Argentina. The most obvious feature of the toucan is its bill. The biggest bill is that of the male toco toucan, reaching a size of nearly 10 inches, which is more than the body without the tail. In spite of its immense size, the bill is surprisingly light in weight. A think horny sheath of hard keratin encloses a hollow that is crisscrossed by many thin supporting rods. However, the bill is so out-of-proportion that the bird seems to be handicapped during flight, leading to a quite awkward flight pattern with bursts of flapping followed by a glide. It is still unkonwn why toucans have such an exaggerated bill. It may be useful to reach berries or seeds from twigs too thin to bear the bird's weight, but a thinner and less vividly coloured bill would serve the same purpose. A funtion as a signal during courtship seems to be more likely. Hornbills, which can be found in Africa and Asia, have similar-looking bills, but they are not related to toucans. Toucans are related to woodpeckers, having a characteristic feature in common: Their feet are arranged in a pattern with two toes forward and two toes back. Toucans are primarily fruit eaters, but they also take insects, frogs, lizards, and eggs and nestlings of smaller birds. They are social birds and can often be seen in flocks of six or more individuals, making croaking noises similar to frogs.They live in rainforests and more open woodlands, where they nest in natural tree holes, often old woodpecker holes. Clutches are of two to four egges which are incubated by both parents. The eggs hatch after two weeks. The young are quite ugly and very helpless. They have no feathers, and even in the age of more than three weeks, when they open their eyes for the first time, they show a lot of naked skin. Toucans have a lifespan of approximately 10 years. In captivity, they sometimes become quite tame. Native Indians used to keep toucans in their villages, but they also appreciated their feathers as ornaments. Elke Hansel was the editor and production editor for Programming with Qt, and Claire Cloutier LeBlanc organized the copyediting with Mitzi and Debby. Margrit Müller was the production manager. Kalle Dalheimer wrote the index.Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using the original illustration by Lorrie LeJeune. The cover layout was produced with QuarkXPress 3.32 using ITC Garamond font.The inside layout was designed by Margrit Müller and Nancy Priest, and implemented in FrameMaker 5.5 by Stefan Goebel. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book. This colophon was written by Joachim Kurtz.

Programming with Qt, 2nd Edition Review
This book provided an excellent top down view of Qt's class library. Most of the chapters touch on the fundamentals of different classes. It would have been nice to see more details or expansion on each area. The book provides enough information, that one can become comfortable with the facilities Qt has to offer. However, it stops there. You enter this book as a beginner and leave it the same way.

'Programming with Qt' is the best book on the market relating to Qt. I read this book from cover to cover and it gave me all the information I needed to get up and running in no time. Since reading this book, I'm nearing completion of an MSN Messenger clone which will run on all popular platforms. I also keep a copy of this book by my desk at work and use it on a daily basis.

I bought the first edition of this book the day I saw it in the bookstore. I found it to be lucid and sensibly organized. Replete with useful examples, it quickly became one of the most thumbed-through books in my frighteningly-large ORA collection.The second edition is a worthy successor. All the things I liked about the first edition remain in the second; the meat of the changes merely update the content for the events in Qt's life over the last 3 years. Kalle and all the folks behind the scenes did an outstanding job with the update.(Shame about the white spine, but that's the new O'Reilly way...sigh.)

ive read oreilly's perl and php and a c book from another author. im surprised they didnt go for gtk+ or something instead. great book(as all oreilly books), but i'd prefer a gtk+ book so i can write gnome apps. i hope o reilly comes out with one and if so i cant wait. good gtk+ books are rare.
