The starts and stops of building at Rosedale, a master-planned community in Azusa, is a microcosm of last decade's roller-coaster ride for Southern California's new-home construction industry.
When Azusa Land Partners launched the development back in 2005, the region's housing market was roaring. Work on the 518- acre development began the following year with the construction of 120 homes.
But things quickly soured as the nation began sliding into recession. The resulting collapse of the U.S. housing market ultimately brought Rosedale to a standstill.
Today the project is revitalized. Construction has resumed under a new partnership that formed in 2010, and 355 new homes have been built. Nearly all of them are already occupied.
"It's coming back slowly, but it's been a lot quicker than I thought it would be," said David Guthery, a superintendent for the new group, Rosedale Land Partners. "Everybody loves the fact that it's moving. They're saying, 'Wow -- there's some production going on."'
A similar tale is repeating throughout the Los Angeles region, where hundreds of homes are once again under construction.
And this time around, the demand is for bigger houses, with more bedrooms and square footage, as consumers tap into record-low interest rates to get more bang for their buck.
"The market is absolutely coming back," said Steve Johnson, director of the Southern California region for Metrostudy, a real estate information and consulting firm. "It's not going back to where it was overnight, but you're going to see a 15 (percent) to 20 percent increase in home starts this year over 2012."
Steve Ruffner, president of the Southern California region for KB Home, said he's feeling good about Southern California's housing market.
"Demand is good and buyers are coming out," he said. "We've seen a lot people who are disenfranchised by the lack of inventory, but it's kind of an exciting time."
Ruffner's enthusiasm is echoed in the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index, which was released last month.
The report showed that confidence among U.S. homebuilders inched up in December to the highest level in more than 6 1/2 years.
Ruffner noted that many buyers are now looking for bigger homes.
"People are realizing that interest rates are at record lows, so that allows them to get more house for their money and still have a mortgage that is very affordable," he said.
KB Home's average home, he said, has increased in square footage by nearly 13 percent since the third quarter of 2010, jumping from 1,875 square feet to 2,063 square feet.
In north Los Angeles County the increase has been even bigger, going from an average of 1,913 square feet in 2010 to 2,397 square feet in 2011. That represents a 25 percent increase -- or 484 additional square feet.
Johnson said buyers could be leaning toward bigger homes for a number of reasons.
"The price of money is so cheap that some people are just opting for bigger square footage," he said. "It gives them the rationale to go for a fancier kitchen with more elbow room or maybe a bigger garage."
Others, he said, may need a bigger home because they have elderly parents living with them or adult children who have moved back home because of the tough economy.
"Lennar has seen great success with their home- within-a-home product," he said. "It's designed for parents to live with you, but it still offers them a degree of privacy with a separate entrance and a kitchenette -- almost like a little apartment."
Andres Rios, who moved into his 2,000-square-foot home in Rosedale's Greenbriar neighborhood six months ago, is happy to see construction occurring.
"I'm happy because it means more people," he said. "It's a good sign for the economy."
Activity is also picking up in the Inland Empire.
Brookfield Homes is building Edenglen, a master-planned community in Ontario that will include more than 580 new homes. They'll be priced starting in the low $300,000s, with models ranging from 1,710 square feet to 2,054 square feet. More than 20 of the homes are under construction and the project is expected to be completed by 2016.
Further south, Standard Pacific Homes is active in the South Bay. The company's gated Harbor Highlands development in San Pedro will feature 133 new single-family homes at full buildout. The homes range from $512,900 for 1,790 square feet, to $596,631 for 1,936 square feet.
KB Home also has a variety of projects under way in Santa Clarita, including Charleston at River Village, Echo Pointe at Plum Canyon, Echo Ridge at Plum Canyon and Ridgeview at Echo Ridge, the latter which was opened in December.
Those homes range from 2,875 to 4,511 square feet. Both Echo Pointe at Plum Canyon and Echo Ridge at Plum Canyon are in close- out with just a few houses left, according to company spokesman Craig LeMessurier.
KB is also working on another 84-lot planned development in Lancaster called Dorado Skies, scheduled to open in winter 2013.
Lennar has three Chino projects under way, including the Madison at College Park (77 homes), Edgewood at College Park (95 homes) and Charleston at College Park (78 homes). The Madison and Edgewood communities opened three weeks ago and the Charleston is in its final development phase, a Lennar associate said. They are priced from the mid $300,000 range to more than $500,000.
Lennar is also building three communities in San Bernardino -- Sage at Rosena Ranch (70 homes), Chaparral at Rosena Ranch (101 homes) and Aster at Rosena Ranch (87 homes).
In Santa Clarita, Lennar has developments ranging from town homes priced in the middle $200,000s to single-family homes listed at $600,000 and more.
One development that still faces a challenge is Newhall Ranch, the Southland's biggest planned community. Developers have yet to break ground on one home, even though the environmental impact report was approved in 1996.
The project, along State Route 126 west of Santa Clarita, is designed to include 20,000 homes as well as business parks, corporate centers, mixed-use elements and 8,500 acres of open space. It's also expected to create 60,000 permanent, full-time jobs, according to Marlee Lauffer, vice president of marketing for Newhall Land Development Inc.
"It's fully approved and we have tentative tract maps for two of the villages," Lauffer said. "But we're in litigation on the tract maps and the environmental permits."
Lauffer said Newhall Land hopes to see the project under way within two years.
All of this activity speaks to a housing market that's regaining its footing. But there's more ground to be covered before the market resembles anything close to pre-recession levels, according to Jeff Lee, president and co-owner of LA Urban Homes. Lee's company is currently building 127 homes in the Rosedale project. But things are not nearly as busy now as they were before the housing market crashed.
"We're also building the Parkside project in Hawthorne with 28 homes and another tract in West L.A. called Highpoint that will have 11 homes," he said. "But during the peak of activity? We had 600 to 700 units under contract."

A believer's entire standard of judgment is based on the moral values of the Qur'an. Love is one of them. A believer only loves Allah, and those who love Allah in turn. He feels antipathy and disquiet against the enemies of Allah and His believers. This is a clear and certain measure, which Allah has defined in the Qur'an, and a believer cannot feel and act in any other way as a natural consequence of faith. He does this by feeling it in a sincere way. His love for Allah and His believers increases as much as his faith. Therefore, a believer cannot have such a point of view other than this measure, even for his closest relatives. In the verses, this is revealed as such:
You will not find people who have faith in Allah and the Last Day having love for anyone who opposes Allah and His Messenger, though they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers or their clan. Allah has inscribed faith upon such people's hearts and will reinforce them with a Soul from Him and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, forever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. Such people are the party of Allah. Truly it is the party of Allah who are successful. (Surat al-Mujadala, 22)
You who have faith! Do not take My enemy and your enemy as friends, showing love for them when they have rejected the truth that has come to you, driving out the Messenger and yourselves simply because you have faith in Allah your Lord. If you go out to struggle against in My Way and seeking My pleasure, keeping secret the love you have for them, know best what you conceal and what you make known. Any of you who do that have strayed from the right way. (Surah Mumtahana, 1)

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Navy took to the ground on Friday night in the Collegiate Sprint Football League's season finale, rushing for four touchdowns to keep Penn at bay in a 35-14 loss for the Quakers at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
What was a defensive battle for the first quarter and a half quickly got away from the Quakers, the Midshipmen scoring 27 points over the second and third quarters to build an insurmountable lead. In all, Navy amassed all 35 of its points before the Quakers were able to get on the board early in the fourth quarter.
Passing yards were pretty much even in the game, 180 for Navy to 176 for the Quakers. It was on the ground that Penn was unable to keep up as the Midshipmen rushed for 271 yards to just 51 for a Penn team which was depleted on the offensive line. Eric Wellmon had 191 yards on 22 carries for the Middies, including two touchdowns.
The Quakers put together an impressive drive to start the game, rattling off 11 plays and moving to the Navy 34-yard line. A heavy dose of Mike Beamish was dialed up, the running back carrying five times for 30 yards. On third-and-17 from the Navy 34, though, Mike McCurdy was picked off on a pass down to the 10 yard line, depriving the Quakers of points early on.
After Navy missed a 30-yard field goal early in the second quarter, Penn was unable to capitalize and went three-and-out, punting the ball to Navy's 45 which was returned to Penn's 34 for a net gain of 20 yards. The good field position resulted in the first score of the game as the Midshipmen needed eight plays to put together a seven-yard Willia Hampton touchdown pass to Tracy Daniels. That score sparked a 34-0 run for the Midshipmen.
It took Penn until the fourth quarter to reach the endzone. Penn went 63 yards over six plays, McCurdy finding Andrew Donald from two yards out to cap the drive. The big play on the series was a 37-yard McCurdy completion to Michael Bass which gave Penn first-and-goal from the two.
On their final series of the game, Penn again put together a six-play drive, covering 38 yards for a touchdown. Joe Raso did the bulk of the work, rushing 30 yards on five carries before Paul Rogofsky tossed an eight-yard touchdown to Brendan Dale.
McCurdy was 12-for-27 with a touchdown and two interceptions in the game, spreading his completions around to six receivers. Beamish, Donald and Dale each had three catches in the game.
Robert Diorio led all players with 10 solo tackles, part of a 14-tackle night. Stu Helgeson had seven solo tackles and 11 total stops, adding a pass breakup. The Penn defense dialed up four sacks, one each for Patrick Boyle, Ben Ballintyn and Carl Wittig with Jeff Barsamian and Ed Cai combining on another. Zach Plona had an interception in his final collegiate game.
The Quakers finish the 2013 season with a 3-4 record.

When Your Friends Don't Have Friends —
A woman recently posted an open letter on parentsconnect.com urging her childless friends to understand that she can no longer live the life of a fun, single, kidless gal.
Some of the offenses she named are listed after the jump —
- • Friends demanding she go out drinking all night to the point where she's got a hangover when she's caring for her kids in the morning.
- Friends who call to complain about how tired they are or how messy their house is when they haven't been all night with crying babies.
- People who don't want to give her kids attention when they come to her house. The kids aren't pets. They require constant care and supervision.
Just Asking — If you're a mom, what's the worst offense a friend has ever committed by not understanding your new role as a parent? Do you take time out to hang with friends anymore — or are those days over?

PG&E needs to be reminded of their safety pledge
April 24, 2013
My wife and I were hiking at Scotts Flat Lake when we noticed a freshly burned patch in the forest. On our way out, I questioned a staff member at the launch ramp about the fire, and he said that prior to the fire, PG&E had been informed about a tree leaning on power lines, which they inspected and then left. Some time later, a fire was started by sparking across the lines. How can this happen?
My understanding is that since the San Bruno disaster, all PG&E personnel have been reminded of the PG&E safety pledge:
"I always put safety first.
I look for and act to resolve unsafe situations.
I help and encourage others to act safely."
Unfortunately the message doesn't seem to have reached Nevada County. With fire season fast approaching, I hope that everyone at PG&E is forcefully reminded of the pledge. I would like to hear that those involved in leaving such an obvious safety hazard have been strongly reprimanded.

Did you find breastfeeding easier to establish with later babies?
I know many mums who, like me, struggled at first with breastfeeding. If you are currently finding it difficult I cannot encourage you enough to get some professional breastfeeding support. For those of you who have breastfed more than one baby I am curious: did you find it easier with the later baby? I guess it would be easier in terms of what to expect and how to prepare yourself better but was the breastfeeding itself established any quicker or with more comfort? Thanks in advance for your comments!

I definitely think breastfeeding was easier with each baby. I was definitely more prepared in terms of expectations. Those first few months are so hard. By the time I had my fourth baby I knew exactly what sort of support I needed and was able to ask for it.

That's good to know mom2many
Yes - sometimes the hardest thing is knowing what support it is you need. If anyone reading this is struggling with breastfeeding please don't suffer on your own - post any questions in this forum or get some local professional support.

Ok, so my last post killed the thread, and then my internet died! Typical, huh...
Didn't know what to name thee thread, but I can edit it afterwards right?
Just watched the video that I took (Can't see the ultrasound screen from the bed) and it is pretty cool, but the poor coconut still looks all squished :p No wonder he/she is keeping those legs closed!
I think I might take some stills of the video to see if anyone can tell!

Effective communication, language learning, language teaching and the interaction of language and culture are especially appropriate topics of study for Earlham students interested in fostering understanding among people throughout the world.
Earlham is an ideal place for students to prepare themselves for possible careers in language-related fields. Earlham's commitment to international education, its wide-ranging study-abroad programs and its cross-cultural orientation make it a special place to bring together the study of language, cultural understanding, language learning and teaching.
The Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program provides a coherent framework for studying languages and learning about them. Students are introduced to the fields of linguistics, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics where they explore how languages have developed, how they are structured, and how they are used in real-life situations. Students also investigate how learners learn first and second languages, and study principles of language teaching in different cultural and societal contexts, both from a historical perspective and in terms of current practices. Students learn to develop teaching materials and work in community-based English as a Second Language (ESL) programs. They also have the opportunity to assist the language instructors in the classroom or tutor beginning language learners through Earlham's Academic Enrichment Center. With this program, students can combine their experiences in studying abroad and in speaking a second language with their interests in linguistics and the study of language learning and teaching.
TESOL students have pursued a variety of interests after graduation. Many who have participated in study-abroad programs in Germany, Austria, Japan, Mexico, Spain or Colombia, for example, return to those countries to teach English as a second language. Others participate in Earlham's Teaching English in Japan program for college graduates, a two-year experience of living and working in Iwate and Tochigi Prefectures. Some go on to obtain a teaching certificate and pursue the teaching of languages within the United States, either as ESL or as French, German, Japanese or Spanish teachers. Still others continue their study of language in graduate school, either in the field of TESOL or linguistics.
Students who wish to minor in the program complete:
TESO 344 STUDIES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING AND TEACHING (4 credits) Combines theoretical foundations of second-language acquisition with practical classroom techniques and procedures. Examines principles of proficiency-oriented instruction, language functions, sociocultural variables, and comparison of first- and second-language acquisition.
TESO 345 LINGUISTICS (3 credits) Introduces students to the nature of human language: its use, evolution and diversity. Approaches language as a system of communication and human behavior.

3D Printed Gun Fails after Six Shots

3D printed AR lower receiver doesn't meet expectations
One of the more interesting technologies for creating rapid prototypes and other items is 3D printing. 3D printing is capable of producing just about anything you can imagine from
implantable cartilage
for medical uses, to prototype parts and even weapons.
A project called Defense Distributed has been working on 3D printer files that allow users to create components to build their own guns using a 3D printer. A group of testers used a 3D printed gun part design from creator HaveBlue to produce an AR lower receiver (the lower receiver is a key component of the weapon that receives the rifle cartridge from the magazine) and headed to the gun range.
Unfortunately, it appears that recoil pressure in the completed weapon was too much for the buffer section of the 3D printed lower. The buffer is a section that separates the stock from the upper receiver reports
NBC News
. The part failed after firing only six shots. To make the failure even more embarrassing, the testers were using ammunition specifically designed for lower recoil.
The creator of the part claims to have printed his own and used it to fire hundreds of rounds.
While the firearm breaking in half while in operation seems to offer the potential for harm to the shooter and those nearby, the testers say that the only damage the operator faces is that of ego. When the weapon failed, the spring and buffer popped out of the tube and fell to the ground according to the testers.

The Colorado Council on the Arts announces the installation of the Gordian Knot
DENVER, Colo., June 12, 2008 -- The Colorado Council on the Arts announces the installation and dedication of the sculpture "Gordian Knot" by Denver born artist, Douglas Kornfeld. The artwork was commissioned for the Center for Technology and Learning Media Building at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado as part of the Art in Public Places Program. A dedication is planned for the sculpture at 11:00 am on June 26th at the CTLM building on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Light refreshments will be served following the dedication and the public is cordially invited.
"Gordian Knot" is a complex tangle of gleaming stainless steel and is located on the south side of the CTLM Building on the campus of Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. The sculpture, according to the artist, was inspired by the students of the engineering school and an ancient story of Alexander the Great.
In 333 BC, wintering at Gordian, Alexander attempted to untie the Gordian Knot. The legend claimed that whoever untangled the Gordian Knot would rule Asia. Finding no end to the knot, or a way to unbind it, he sliced it in half with his sword. Alexander went on to conquer Asia, fulfilling the prophecy. The term "Cutting the Gordian Knot" is today often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem, solved by a bold stroke. The artist felt that this story and metaphor was an ideal theme for an artwork that would relate to the engineering students and faculty of the CTLM building and the entire school.
The sculpture is approximately eight feet in diameter and was fabricated from over 300 feet of stainless steel pipe. The sinuous, complex tangle of metal pipe, like the original Gordian Knot is without a beginning or end. The artist collaborated with the steel fabricators at Junoworks Studio in Denver. The artist documented the entire fabrication with photos and a time-lapse video that can be viewed on his website, www.awaka-inc.com.
Douglas Kornfeld was born in Denver and attended George Washington High School and the University of Colorado in Boulder. He has completed two other projects in Denver. Kornfeld has also completed projects in Florida, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Texas, Maine, Rhode Island, and Washington State. He is currently completing a commission for the City of Boston, Massachusetts this summer.
The Colorado Council on the Arts administers the Art in Public Places Program. All capital construction projects funded by the State of Colorado include a portion of the appropriation to be allocated for the acquisition of works of art. Colorado's public art collection includes more than 400 pieces of art placed throughout the state for the enjoyment of all citizens. For more information on the AIPP program, contact CCA at 303-892-3802, or browse their web site at www.coloarts.state.co.us

Not as advertised
By A.M.
from WI
Best Uses
I would like to give this violin 5 stars but due it not being as advertised I can't. Its much better made then I had expected it to be. Everything I had read on-line told me most student violins have pegs that slip and are poorly made, this one is Vary Nice and I feel is just right for an adult learner. It needs new strings when you get it but this is the norm when buying a violin on-line like this. The description of the violin itself is correct but the software that "listens" while you play and and includes 160 lessons, did not come with it. Instead I got a dvd with a 27 minute long lesson, it teaches 2 songs and I have found better instruction on youtube. In-short I'm happy with the instrument, disappointed with the "software" but still glad I bought it.

Won't tune
By No mo vo
from tulsa OK
I did not expect a concert instrument, so for that reason I wasn't disappointed. The fact that I cannot get the violin to hold it's tune is frustrating. I read music and am familiar with stringed instruments but this is lees than acceptable.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Second time buying
By Christi
from Santa Rosa, CA
My parents bought this violin for our oldest daughter a few years ago and we were so pleased with it we bought a second one for our younger daughter. We have found over the years that the sound that comes from these violins just get better with time. These are such wonderful violins I'm sure both my girls will enjoy them for years to come.

I was very pleased with the construction
By Maddie
from Colorado
I purchased for an adult to learn on. It looks and feel like a quality instrument to learn and play on for years to come. I was quite happy with the case that was included with the violin. Just got it so I can't say how the instruction CD is, but looking forward to it.
don't buy it!
By Geppino
from Annapolis, MD
An insult to violins. There is nothing great about it: Not the wood, the strings, the bow, even the rosin, or the ridiculous "instruction" video, which is an advertisement for other videos. Instead, rent a decent beginner's violin from a reputable dealer for three months, at a third of the price, then decide to continue with the violin or not. If you buy the violin, you may be able to apply the cost of rental toward purchase of a real instrument. A really poor thing such as this will harm the student's ability to progress. No, I do not represent real violin shops. I just love the instrument.

New data for Sony NEX sensors and a Nikkor lensThursday July 01 2010
Measurements for NEX-3 & NEX-5 and Nikon 18-70mm zoom optical performance now available on DxOMark
- Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 sensor performance data with a review of their scores compared to other models in the same category;
- Data for the AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G IF-ED, measured on 6 camera bodies.
Further readings for the New data for Sony NEX sensors and a Nikkor lens
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The new Sony NEX cameras feature one of Sony's latest APS-C sensors. Our DxOMark measurements show that the NEX sensor seems very similar to the one found in the Sony A450.
Test results support Sony's assertion that this new camera category (mirrorless with interchangable lenses, sometimes referred to "EVIL" for "Electronic Viewfinder with Interchangable Lens") provides "DSLR image quality in a compact camera."

Two local refineries - Chevron in El Segundo and BP in Carson - are among the state's 10 highest emitters of toxic chemicals, according to a report Thursday from the Environmental Protection Agency.
The list was compiled with data reported to the EPA for its Toxics Release Inventory Program, which annually records information on nearly 650 chemicals and chemical categories from large industrial facilities, manufacturers and others.
The chemicals often are legally permitted emissions to the air, discharges to waterways and underground injection wells, or shipments to landfills with leak-detection systems. The data is from 2009 and, as in prior years, does not assess health risks.
The state's top 10 list reflects total on-site and off-site emissions. Chevron comes in at No. 7, and BP is No. 8.
EPA officials say the goal of the TRI program is to arm communities with information "to support informed decision-making at all levels by industry, government, non-governmental organizations and the public."
When compared to 2008 statewide numbers, the EPA said toxics managed, treated or released into the environment from industrial facilities decreased by 6 million pounds - a 14 percent drop.
To access the database and find emissions within a certain ZIP code, link to www.epa.gov/tri/.

The Ngondro practice is very important for purifying negative karma and to generate wisdom. Actually, our main practice is Mahamudra, but you cannot practice Mahamudra without the purification or the blessing. In this context, the "Preliminary Practices" are most essential.
You are in samsara now, and as long as you remain thus, you will experience disturbing emotions. Otherwise, you would already be enlightened. In the past, no matter where you were born, you experienced various poisons of the mind. This is true regardless of whether you were in the higher realm of beings or whether you were born in the lower realms. Your present state is proof of that, because were it different, you would not be experiencing disturbing emotions now.
So long as these disturbing emotions are in you, you are accumulating negative karma. However, it is not as if a certain karma was accumulated, it would then ripen to give a certain result, and afterwards, that karma would disappear completely. And that the only karma left in us now is what has caused this present human life. No, you have millions of different karmic imprints built up from many past lives. In addition, you are continuing to create much new karma through your thoughts, speech and actions everyday. Sometimes they are positive, sometimes negative. But unfortunately, they are most often negative. As humans, we are constantly involved in disturbing emotions which can never result in anything positive.
This does not mean that we should belittle ourselves. Rather, we should accept our present situation - this is our karma now, and it is preventing wisdom from appearing. This wisdom is already there. It is the nature of our mind. However, our disturbing emotions cover it. From our disturbing emotions we create karma. The result for us is more samsara where we create more karma.
So our karma is very strong. We weaken it by doing the "Preliminary Practices" until it cannot harm us any more. We practice the accumulation of merit through the Mandala-Offering, the third of the Ngondro practices. This will create in us all the necessary conditions to reach enlightenment.
When we are freed of karmic influences and have accumulated all the positive conditions, we can successfully begin the Mahamudra practice. If, however, after 111,111 repetitions of each of the four preliminaries, we realize that no development has occurred, then we have to continue to work hard on the preliminaries in order to weaken the negative karma.
While practicing Ngondro, many good signs may appear. They are an indication that a result has been reached. But one should not have too many expectations regarding these signs. They should appear naturally as they cannot be artificially produced.
After having practiced Ngondro extensively, students receive the Mahamudra teachings. It would not be very beneficial to teach them the Mahamudra before that because they would not be able to understand them precisely. The mind must be purified for that to happen.

Re: The Practice of Ngondro by His Holiness Sharmapa
The four ordinary ngondro are the most profound thing you can start meditating on. It is misleading and superficial to teach Ngondro in a fashion that they are just some necessary preliminaries ( before the real thing). In fact they themselves are that very thing. Even the first ordinary ngondro practice is capable of producing enlightenment.
Just meditating on the four ordinary Ngondro ( for several years that is) has a profound effect for this life and for all future lives. Expecting and waiting for something else has a negative effect. You must meditate on the four ordinary ngondro untill you attain a sign, a state of being concentrated on them. This it self will lead you to a breakthrough. Nothing else is necessary.

The Apple 'Kill List': What Your iPhone Doesn't Want You to Type
According to a Daily Beast analysis, iPhones running Apple's latest software will not suggest corrections for even slight misspellings of such hot-button words as "abortion," "rape," "ammo," and "bullet." For example, if a user types "abortiom" with an "m" instead of an "n," the software won't suggest a correction, as it would with nearly 150,000 other words. (Many modern spell-check and predictive text engines understand that the "n" is located next to "m" on a standard keyboard, so replacing it with its neighbor is the low-hanging fruit of the correction world.)
Provocative words aren't the only ones iPhone software won't correct. Our analysis found over 14,000 words that are recognized as words when spelled accurately, but that won't be corrected even when they are only slightly misspelled. However, the vast majority of these words are technical or very rarely used words: "nephrotoxin," "sempstress," "sheepshank," or "Aesopian," to name a few.
But among this list as well are more frequently used (and sensitive) words such as "abortion," "abort," "rape," "bullet," "ammo," "drunken," "drunkard," "abduct," "arouse," "Aryan," "murder," and "virginity."
We often look to technology to make our lives easier—to suggest restaurants, say, or to improve things as simple as our typing. But as more and more of our speech passes through mobile devices, how often is software coming between us and the words we want to use? Or rather, when does our software quietly choose not to help us? And who draws the line?
An Apple spokesperson declined to comment for this article.
Here's how their software works: when you misspell a word on an iOS device—iPhones, iPads, etc.—it will be underlined in red. Double-tap the garbled word, and a menu will appear in which you can pick from a few suggestions; hopefully the word you intended to write will be there. This fix works for the vast majority of words—but a few, like those mentioned above, won't have any suggestions at all, even if you were mistaken by only one character.

I don't like it for the eagles.
I would rather trade down the draft one of these OTs that high...and I think that's what the eagles would do.
I like Reid or any Safety in the second really.
I really don't like Bray...but I suppose I could stomach him in the third but what's the point if we have Foles?
Other two I'm not familiar enough with to comment but I agree with the positions at least.

Okay, who would pick there instead of Lewan bearing in mind I'm not doing trades? With Vick likely gone, you have to give Foles some kind of competition. Why not Bray? Who would you prefer?

Wow. Can I have that in real life? Please? Even though I prefer Banks to Roby, Roby is pretty good there. I love Ansah. Frederick is good. Thomas is AWESOME there. Overall great.

Overall looks solid for the bengals. If I decide to nit-pick, I might suggest we would prefer Mosley over Thomas at this point.

I like the Chase Thomas pick. I think he's a better fit at SAM.
I'm just not a fan of Elam.

Definitely take Manuel over Jones, also take Fluker over Warford and move Free inside.

4 Montee Ball RB, Wisconsin
5 Sio Moore ILB, Connecticut
Jones is great, but he would play center for us. I love Woods, especially in our offense, especially in the 2nd round. I am not a huge Barkley fan but he could be a great back up QB. Meh on Ball, and I dont know the UConn kid. All in all, I will take it!

Checks a lot of boxes for the Jaguars. Really like it.
Would be especially stoked if we got Blidi Wreh-Wilson in the 4th on top of a good trenches draft in the first 3 rounds.
Would be nice to sneak a developmental QB in there somewhere, but this is solid and i'd be okay with just building the team and going QB in 2014.

Rounds 1-3 are about as close to perfect as they can be. Love those picks and they make me happy happy happy.
I know nothing about McCullers other than human beings shouldn't be that big. 6-8 360 is rather large, but IDK where he fits. It all depends on what d-scheme we play under with our new DC. However as it stands we need a DE, but I would rank other positions of needs before this. Safety, TE and WR (if Bowe leaves). But like I said I know nothing about McCullers
I don't know much about Wilson. Apparently he could of been the #1 WR this year, but lack of production and off field problems/quitting the team caused his stock to plummet. Personally I wouldn't take someone that quit no matter how rough it got (within reason of course). Times are tough in KC right now and we need someone that is mentally strong enough to handle the adversity. I'm taking Phillip Thomas here and not thinking twice.
Overall I could get on board, especially if I knew more about McCullers. I would be ecstatic through the 1st 3 rounds!

This is the genuine shearling vest modeled after the bomber jackets worn by World War I aviators. Designed by a fifth-generation family firm that was founded by an army veteran, the rugged sheepskin leather exterior and plush interior is warm enough to protect against a cold slipstream in an open-cockpit. Tanned and tailored by British craftsmen, the durable shearling is more insulating than down without the attendant bulk, so it is an ideal fabric for active outdoor activities from fall through spring. The collar is lined with thick fleece for an additional barrier against wind and heat loss, while the vest's relaxed fit and wide armholes make it easy to slip over a flannel shirt or sweater. The front is accented with a two-way brass zipper and two slash pockets that can hold flight maps or a passport. (2 1/2 lbs.)

This can be unisex
By Toodles
from Seabrook, Texas
Could not find this product in women's wear so I took a chance on a men's vest and it is amazing! Fits perfectly and I will use it on our houseboat this fall when the wind is blowing in from the Gulf but I still need my hands free to navigate. Well made. Bravo!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Shearling Vest
By Kitt-man
from Philadelphia area, PA
I love shearling garments. I have a bomber jacket, shoes, boots, hat. As I wanted a vest (for versatility), I was very excited to see this one on the yearly sale, & immediately ordered it. I wish it were a touch thicker (the shearling lining). Other than that, I love it so far...
Great for our weather.
By Frank
from Ontario, Canada.
Ideal for me during the spring and fall, also under the parka in winter.
Excellence in Quality!
By Pluggr
from Saskatoon SK
This is used both as a middle layer outside, and as an outer layer in a cool workplace. Warmer and more "breathing" than synthetic fleeces, with a look that is distinctive! It does feel a little big and expect over time that it will continue to wear softer all the time.
It is good looking A-2 flight jacket

Please lineup other Cockpit USA other products.I would buy other Cockpit products.

AVCA recognizes BC Volleyball with Team Academic AwardAugust 6, 2012
Tornados earn award for second consecutive season
Lexington, Ky. - The Brevard College Volleyball team was recognized with the AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2011-2012 academic year as announced by the American Volleyball Coaches Association last week.
Brevard receives the award for the second consecutive year as the Tornados were one of four South Atlantic Conference teams to receive the award, and one of only 67 NCAA Division II programs to earn recognition by the AVCA.
The awards honor collegiate and high school volleyball teams that display academic excellence by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average during the most recent season.
"Many coaches tell us they take more pride in and hear more positive feedback about winning the AVCA Team Academic Award than anything else they do all year," said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "While it is undeniable that the sport we coach is zero-sum on the scoreboard, it is a tool for empowerment on other fronts.
"The 533 coaches whose teams won this academic award understand the value of both playing to win and winning through play. A well-deserved congratulations to each team and coach."
The Team Academic Award has become one of the AVCA's fastest growing awards programs, seeing an impressive surge in teams honored over the past several years. Since the 2000-01 season, the number of recipients has increased every year but one, while amassing an overall 200-percent increase during the last decade.
More than 1,000 different schools have earned the award in the program's 20-year history, with exactly 4,827 awards been given out in total.
The AVCA, with its headquarters in Lexington, Ky., is managed by Associations International. The mission of the AVCA is to develop and grow the sport of volleyball; with a membership of over 5,000 and counting, the AVCA provides a professional network for those individuals and companies dedicated to enhancing and developing the sport. Members are comprised of national and international coaches, collegiate, high school, club, youth and Olympic coaches, as well as club directors. Other members include former players, officials, media members and other friends of volleyball. As a group, the AVCA is committed to the development, growth, advancement and publicity of volleyball throughout the world. Further information is available at www.avca.org.
