To put it simply this team is a joke. I don't need to go into why we need changes but here we go folks.
Rex Ryan FIRED
Mike Pettine GONE
Tony Sparano GONE
Mike Tannenbaum FIRED
How do we replace so many guys??
Let's have a round of applause for the new Head Coach of the New York Jets RAY HORTON.
I am here to say right now the first call is going to be a blitz, Horton said. No question about it.
That was the message delivered by Horton, who signed a three-year contract as the replacement for the fired Bill Davis. He talked about pressure, about coming fast, about aggressiveness. He said he wanted, when the game was over, teams to know they played the Arizona Cardinals.
Horton's mentor was Steeler's DC - LeBeau. One of the best parts about Horton is we have a 3-4 installed. Former Steelers have nothing but great things to say. He has won a Superbowl as a player and coach. He has the Cards at the #8 defense right now. There may be concerns that he only has one year of DC under his belt, but that hasn't stopped coaches before.
On offense we have someone who we could have used a few years earlier. Hue Jackson has a great track record with offenses so I am very excited. Right now I believe he is just an assistant coach so he can be lured away. He definitely didn't get a fair shake in Oakland and the Jets will be very happy to have him on board.
One of the hottest names in the NFL is Jim Tomsula and the Jets need to snatch him up before someone else does. Pettine seems like he was an awful DC. He is 1-0 in his career as interim head coach! He has turned everyone on that SF DL into animals and the run defense has had a nice boost since he has become the coach. I don't know much else about him but I do know that 49ers fans speak highly of him.
Pat Moriarty has been a part of the Ravens since 1994 and is the team's vice president of football operations. The Ravens have had a good front office for at least the past decade. Supposedly is a good negotiator too. My internet is crappy now so I cant find anything else on him. There was an NFL.com article with him in there as the upcoming names for GM. Will try to find more.

Kyle Wilson to Tampa Bay Bucs for 4th round pick
-He has little value, TB needs another CB after getting rid of Talib and Wilson could fit nicely in the Tampa 2. While Lankster isn't better(happy?) I think he can improve and be a solid player. Wilson is useless blitzing and Lankster can blitz from the slot, something we haven't had. Worst case scenario we draft a mid round guy or grab a vet to replace him and lose nothing.
Jets 2013 3rd round pick and 2013 5th round pick to Oakland Raiders for Darren McFadden.
-His value is all time low and Hue Jackson scoops him up. A fairer trade may be Kyle Wilson and a pick but I will keep it as is. McFadden has been one of the worst backs this season and has an injury history. The Jets scoop him up and try to rejuvenate his career under Jackson where he had his best numbers. Whoever is throwing the ball can rely on him for big plays on the ground and in the air. I know Braylon and Jenkins didn't help us in the long run but at age 25 McFadden could give us 5+ years.
TRADE the Jets trade out of the top 10 to the teens to pick up an extra 2nd round pick
Round 1- Tyler Bray QB, Tennessee
-The Jets need a franchise QB. Bray has that chance so you take him in the 1st round. For the haters I would much rather have Joe Flacco someone big with an arm and potential than Mark Sanchez or any of the sub elite prospects in this draft. Bray has sky high potential and can sit a year behind Mark or whatever vet takes snaps. He had a lot of buzz coming into Tennessee and a year of coaching could get him to mature and get over the hump. Character isn't a big concern.
Round 2- DeAndre Hopkins WR, Clemson
-We have to build around whatever QB we have. Hill is nice I think he eventually gets in a few years. It took Demaryius Thomas a while and now he looks great. Hopkins will be a burner for the Jets who desperately need big plays from any position. Has solid size too, isn't one of those one-dimensional 5'10 180 pound guys. Could be a legit WR in the league.
Round 2- Tank Carradine OLB, Florida State
-If QB wasn't so important in this league and we weren't in shambles, OLB would easily be my favorite for Round 1. But we have to do something to this offense. The trade back helps us land a decent prospect. Tank has blossomed taking over for the injured Brandon Jenkins and has been playing better than Montgomery and Mingo. He may not be the same athlete but he's been great at getting after the QB.
Round 4- Omoregie Uzzi OG, Georgia Tech
-Jackson will probably go higher so I change the player. OG might be one of the biggest needs on the team. Slauson splits with Vlad we really need an overhaul here and need some run blocking. Can probably step right in at Right Guard. Is a physical run blocker in a run first offense. Perfect.
Round 4 (via Tampa Bay Bucs)- Stedman Bailey WR, West Virginia
-How do you help QBs? Give them weapons. Whether it's giving Sanchez one last hoorah or surrounding Bray with talent, we need to load up on WRs. I like Bailey better than Austin because his size translates better. He's not as explosive but he's still damn explosive and could be a great playmaker. Gives us Kerley in the slot, Hill and Hopkins the big time WRs if they develop and Bailey another big play threat. It will be so nice having speed. Also insurance incase Hill can't catch. You may ask why draft two similar WRs, but I think both are good enough where they can start and not be strictly a deep threat or slot guy. Load up on weapons is the main priority, BPA.
Round 6- Michael Williams TE, Alabama
-It's almost like having a 6th OL with Williams out there. He's also a huge target and if Cumberland doesn't work out I really like him as a #2 option. Even if he doesn't contribute in the pass game he can really block.
Round 7- Mister Cobble NT, Kentucky
-Hilarious name, and need insurance guys if Ellis can't hack it.

P- Robert Malone
KR- McKnight
I don't like McKnight but we need a KR and he isn't bad as depth. Antonio Allen and Josh Bush should definitely see increased time. NT is scary. Pouha is old and hurt, Ellis hasn't shown enough consistently although I really like him, Harrison doesn't get to play. That could hurt if we don't have good NT play. Maybe DeVito can play NT so Mo and Coples play more. I like the new weapons on offense, only thing is Guard play may hurt. Going into the future we may only be looking at FS and OG as glaring needs. OLB is still a question mark but Carradine has potential and Sapp is supposed to be a contributor. Having younger vets like Spencer and Jackson is much better than Pace and Thomas at least. Tried making it realistic but it's hard this far away.

Agreed, i think the staff is really good. Im really tempted to use the same exact staff in my mock lol. One thing though, idk why everyone is so high on Tyler Bray, he really isnt that good. Sign Vick or Alex Smith, and draft a QB in a year or two.

I will try to find it from last week.
EDIT: The whole pass rusher debate was ridiculous. You told me who I wanted, took my words as Jones was the best pass rusher in the draft, explained my thought process to me etc. And you have yet to answer my question as well.
What was your question?

And answer this question for me. If Sanchez threw a pass that was batted at the line then caught by one of our RBs and run for a TD does that mean Sanchez had a good throw?
And I realize the coaching staff is a bit of a pipe dream, especially Jackson. But no reason he wouldn't be OC somewhere again. Tomsula will probably be DC any year, and Horton HC any year so those two aren't so bad.

Lankster > Wilson
did you watch the game last night? Lankster is god awful. He looked like a mentally retarded kid on the field that was just walking around clueless. i hope all you realize now that Wilson and Lankster are not the solution.
Cut them both.
Wilson is better though

I dig this a lot. No complaints. Good staff, good trades, good FA signings, good draft.
Realistic also...but idk if Woody puts this type of staff together. I don't think he's that smart. Does Horton have any connection to the Jackson/DC selected? I'd imagine he'd want to bring in guys he's worked with before.

Yes that is another thing, but I have no idea who Horton's guys are so I'm going with the hot names.

No we cannot. Wilson has very little value. Vontae Davis, who is a great corner, went for a 2nd. Wilson isn't even good let alone great. I would be very happy with a 4th for WIlson, considering at this point we could probably draft another corner whose better.
Props to JMG on the sig as usual

Eh, Davis isn't a great CB and the Dolphins fleeced the Colts.
I do agree we shouldn't get more than a 4th for Wilson though.

Vontae is not good, but that trade is not really the norm. Considering where he was drafted, I think we could probably get a late third for Wilson.

Just want to say, Vontaze Davis is not a great CB at all...
I don't like trading Wilson for a 4th. He is more valuable to the Jets than he would be if we wanted to trade him. I just don't understand why you would want to trade someone who is cheap, has been a product of the Jets. He's been a great character guy on the team. He's stepped in and done a pretty good job for the hardest coach you can play for as far as cornerbacks go. If nothing else, is great depth. Why ruin in?
Aside from that. I really like this mock draft. Tyler Bray would be a great pick and he reminds me a lot of Culter. Definitely like the way you're going with this mock. Good job. Just not really a fan of Spencer. Love the McFadden trade. Think that gamble could be a huge payoff.

I think this topic has been addressed multiple times in the newsgroup, but I
think the current implementation in not satisfactory. Therefore I think it
would be best to let everybody vote on this suggestion:
Problem: Most PowerShell beginners get confused because they can use the
DOS-style <drivename>: syntax to set-location to the specified drive in the
FileSystem, but they cannot (by default) use this syntax for other psDrives
like 'function:', 'env:' or 'myDrive:', because by default only the helper
functions 'A:' to 'Z:' are created.
I think it would reduce confusion of beginners if this syntax was supported
natively, because beginners wouldn't need to know about the small difference
between "C:" and "Env:" and the "magic functions" called "A:"..."Z:".
I know that it is possible to create these functions automatically at
PowerShell startup time by using the profile.ps1. But I think this is not a
good solution, because this doesn't work for drives that are created
interactively, except using a special script or function that does this
automatically. This makes the usage more complex and confusing than it
actually needs to be.
Furthermore, the output of "get-childitem function:" gets very untidy and
legthy if you add a function called <drivename>: for each and every psDrive
that you use.
At the moment I have 50 (!) helper functions (including A:...Z only for
this single purpose. This impairs the usabillity of the function drive in my
opinion because it makes is harder to find the information you are really
looking for.
Therefore I think the <drivename>: syntax should be integrated into
PowerShell itself without the need for special helper functions that fill up
the function drive.

The goal of this assignment was to pick a theme, and find 5 movie scenes that go with it. I know it was only supposed to 5 seconds, but I it was really hard to get the point of each video with just 1 second clips. The movies I chose, in order, are "The Dark Night Rises", "The Princess Bride", "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Army of Darkness", and "A Knights Tale". The scene from Dark Night Rises is kind of a typical Batman scene, him standing on top of a high building overlooking the city as its protector. I just thought it was a cool scene to start off the montage. The second is Inigo Montoya's classic line from Princess Bride. I think that just about everyone knows this line and it was the first scene I thought of when I looked at the assignment. The third scene is the very popular "Its just a flesh wound" from Monty Python. I thought it was a perfect scene to follow Inigo Montoya's death threat, plus its just funny. The fourth scene was from Army of Darkness. Ashe used his shotgun to break the Prince's sword and all the citizens of the castle are in shock of its power. I've always thought it was hysterical. The final scene was from A Knights Tale. Although the part I chose was not Heath Ledger himself, I thought it was absolutely perfect to follow the boom stick line. The biggest problem I had with this assignment was just formatting everything correctly, I'm still having trouble with scaling the clips themselves. I enjoyed this assignment because it really made me want to watch these movies over again
One thought on "One Archetype, Five Movies, Five Seconds"
I like the theme here and you had good picks for the 5.
Ahhhh, but the point here and the challenge is to nail it down to 5 seconds, it's nearly impossible to do that if you are trying to keep dialogue. Also, you actually never say what the archetype is (only in the title of the video do I see "5 Knights".
We asked that you link to your source media as well.
It might help on your writeups if you sent it to someone who does not know what you are doing in this class and ask if it makes sense.

The "why" of Tony Scott's suicide continues to baffle, as conflicting stories are emerging about the director's health.
The Los Angeles Coroner's office says that an autopsy was conducted on Scott, 68, who jumped off a Los Angeles bridge to his death on Sunday afternoon. A final cause of death, however, will not be available until toxicology and other test results are completed in several weeks.
More: Tony Scott's most famous film credits
ABCNews.com initially reported Monday that a source said Scott had an inoperable brain tumor. The site later changed the story to say the "cancer report appears in doubt."
On Monday evening, Craig Harvey, a chief for the coroner's office said, "The family told us it is incorrect that he has inoperable brain cancer," reports the Los Angeles Times.
Meanwhile, the New York Post reports that Scott recently told friends he had a hip operation, but many feared it was a recurrence of cancer.
"He has been suffering from cancer and he had a relapse," a source close to the director told The Post. Another source said, "He had been in the hospital earlier this summer, in the past few months, and he had been recuperating. The official story was it was a hip operation, but people suspected he underwent another cancer operation." A third source added, "He did have cancer, and for a while, he was cancer-free."
TMZ reports that Donna Scott, Tony's wife, told investigators that reports of brain cancer are "absolutely false." She added, according to TMZ, that Scott did not have any other severe medical issues.
Simon Halls, a spokesman for Scott and his older brother, Oscar-winning director Ridley Scott, issued a statement Monday saying, "The family asks that their privacy is respected at this time."

Type of Document Dissertation Author Woo, Youngjin Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-10112002-190728 Title Inelastic Analysis of the Loop Tack Test for Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Degree PhD Department Civil Engineering Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Plaut, Raymond H. Committee Chair Dillard, David A. Committee Member Holzer, Siegfried M. Committee Member Rojiani, Kamal B. Committee Member Singh, Mahendra P. Committee Member Keywords
- Loop tack test
- Tack
- Finite element analysis
- Pressure sensitive adhesive
Date of Defense 2002-09-13 Availability unrestricted AbstractA numerical analysis of the loop tack test is presented to study the behavior of the strip and the influence of several factors, and the results are compared with experimental ones. The numerical results can be applied to model the performance of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Since the simulation of the loop tack test includes geometrical and material nonlinearities, it is solved numerically by the finite element method. The finite element program ABAQUS is used throughout the research. As the teardrop shaped loop is pushed down onto the adhesive and then pulled up, the variation of the loop behavior is investigated using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) models. A bilinear elastic-plastic constitutive law is used for the strip. The deformation of the pressure sensitive adhesive is approximated as uniaxial extension of independent adhesive strands. A Winkler-type nonlinear elastic foundation and a viscoelastic foundation are used to model the PSA. A nonlinear elastic spring function is used, which is composed of a compression region for the bonding phase and a tension region for the debonding phase. A debonding failure criterion is assumed, in which an adhesive strand will debond when it reaches a certain length. During the bonding phase, it is assumed that the loop is perfectly bonded, and the contact time is not included. Curves of the pulling force versus the top displacement (i.e., tack curves) are obtained throughout the simulation. A parametric study is made with respect to the nonlinear spring function parameters, experimental uncertainties, and strip thickness. Anticlastic bending behavior is shown in the 3D analysis, and the contact patterns are presented. The effects of the elasticity modulus of the PSA for the elastic foundation and the displacement rate for the viscoelastic model are investigated. Files

The Westin Verasa Napa
1314 Mckinstry Street, Napa, CA
0,1 km från
2135 kr+
Standard Westin property. Good location for Napa Valley visit. Property seemed to be trying just a little too hard to be a super-luxury resort, but then came up short in delivery. Had to ask multiple times for items promised earlier. Front desk lost a package we left for another guest.
Location Overpriced
The rooms were spacious and I loved the pool area and the beauty of the facility. Being so close to the Silverado Trail was a bonus. It was pricier than it should have been.
The staff was very friendly and helpful in arranging a winery visit. Several of the "amenities" were closed or inaccessible during our stay. We were also placed in a room adjacent to the massive ac system which of course droned on during the whole of our stay, making it difficult to enjoy the balcony much less get a good night's sleep.
The hotel is localized in a wonderfull place.Our room was at the river side,it was fantastic!! We didn't like the lack of room in the breakfast.
The staff was very attentive and hospitable during our entire stay! A staff member greeted us at our car upon arrival to ask us for help and another member (RJ) turned on the fire pit for us when we were having a family lunch. My son gained a new friend. None
free continental breakfast, airline check-in kiosk, location, great staff
great value for your money subpar lobby
Decent room, most staff was very friendly Lost our reservation and ended up with a King + sofa sleeper instead of 2 queen beds. The staff at the restaurant seemed really rude.
Hotel location is very good close to downtown riverfront and a quick walk to the oxbow market. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Nightly free wine tasting. They had smores kits available at the fire pit at no charge which was nice treat. I thought the shower was not hot enough and wish it was more high pressure
Very clean people at the front desk were very helpful and were to go and how to get they! Would say just a very quint place to stay if you are going to wine country
Bed was comfortable. They placed us in a room that was the first one by the lobby and restaurant. It was loud and noisy. The balcony overlooked right into the restaurant's outdoor seating, which was very disturbing. So the 2nd night, I requested a change. They placed in another room that smelled like hospital. I wouldn't stay here again with cost/reward not attractive.
Good size room. Clean and functional. Common areas. Lobby and bar were very dark and uninviting. Looks like they may need a redo with some lighting. No bellman -- you're on your own with your bags.
Hotel and rooms are nicely appointed first floor river view rooms have no view of the river
I loved the bathroom, it has a very romatic setting. I also loved hearing the birds in the morning very peaceful. I would recommend that you offer a welcome wine and cheese infront of your fireplace area. That would have topped it off for me.
The lobby area/bar was inviting, clean and comfortable. We had a glass of Napa wine by the fireplace and ordered appetizers. The back patio was inviting as well! Just a nice set up. People who had been in the fitness room working out, very sweaty, came straight to the breakfast room to eat without consideration for others. Gross!

Online privacy. These two words hurdle me into defense mode, conjuring up images of some hacker genius who has managed to steal my identity and now lives my second life somewhere in the Caribbean on a really big boat. I have a feeling I am not alone in this thought.
While this is a valid concern in a certain sense, this isn't necessarily what the FTC had in mind with its push to implement "Do Not Track" legislation. A buzz among advertisers for some time now, it's more simply about giving the consumer control – not necessarily a bad thing, but a hurdle for marketing nonetheless.
With last month's release of IE9, Microsoft has officially taken the lead in browsers providing users with Do Not Track options, and Apple, Mozilla, and Google have all followed suit in some capacity.
The good news? Buzz surrounding online privacy is bringing to the forefront what savvy marketers have known forever: Data is king.
Far from being a prophet, I do firmly believe that two very important trends will come to the surface as Do Not Track diffuses into the digital space.
First, on the analytics front, developers and SEO experts alike will be forced to rely on sample data sets rather than have full visibility to their entire audience. Nothing ground breaking here, but it's a fact that marketers have relied on audience sampling for eons. Focus groups, random surveys, and the like have all been driving ad strategy in the agency world since its inception.
Although the FTC and some legislators probably don't want to admit it, even with Do Not Track a reality, it's going to be practically impossible for all stakeholders to fully buy in to no audience tracking, and at least some empirical data will be available to marketers. Knowing this, data will essentially become an even hotter commodity – further enabling those that can master SEO and analytics to enterprise their skills to the client's end objective.
Secondly, digital advertising will split dynamically between technical media buying and strategic media buying. The fundamental shift among top online advertisers the last few years has been to stop buying directly with publishers or networks and to begin bidding on display placements via ad exchanges and demand side platforms. With fewer data sets available, these DSPs and exchanges will further refine themselves to allow hyper-targeting to the audiences that are making themselves available to track. What this means – higher rates for far better targeting, and a vast need for better front-end strategy and execution.
Thinking about the bigger picture this would create a second commodity to the digital advertising world – skilled media planners and buyers. In other words, there needs to be a man behind the curtain rather than just an algorithm plugged into an ad platform. The process, research, analysis, optimization and common sense that go into executing a digital media plan through completion will become a widely sought-after skill set for advertisers and agencies alike.
So, while many online marketers fear the implications of wide-spread adoption of Do Not Track, I say let's get on with it. In an industry that thrives on innovation, it's my belief that it will only make us better at what we do and much smarter about how we do it.

The board of
The board of Breville Group has unanimously rejected the offer, saying the independent expert also believed that GUD Holdings was not offering enough for the company, given its strategic value and the substantial synergies that would be available.
The board of Breville said that, in the absence of a cash offer, shareholders were reliant on the value of GUD shares, which among other things were contingent on the combined group's earnings that in turn were linked to a realisation of the potential synergies.
There are some contradictions in Breville Group's response. On one hand the company is weighing up how much GUD Holdings "should pay" against how much it "can pay", with the latter strongly supported by the potential synergies on offer.
While the board of Breville is pushing for a "can pay" offer, it is still questioning whether the synergies can be realised.
This morning we spoke with the managing director of GUD Holdings, Ian Campbell. While he hadn't had an opportunity to read the target statements response, he said that he believed the offer was "full and fair", particularly based on the fact that Breville Group had been trading on a price-earnings multiple of less than 10, as opposed to GUD Holdings offer price of approximately 15.
No doubt Breville management will be drawing Mr Campbell's attention to the fairly bullish guidance that the company recently released regarding its profit expectations for 2009-10. Mr Campbell said that if his company was the target, he would probably be out there making the same sort of statements that Breville had made with the intention of engineering a higher offer.
Mr Campbell said that Breville's aggressive guidance was difficult to substantiate, given that much would depend on Christmas trading.
GUD Holdings has a 19.4 per cent stake in Breville, and Mr Campbell believes that the company could go close to increasing this to 50 per cent given the anticipated institutional support for the offer.

How much cheaper is it to get a VoIP service than a standard home phone?
You may keep hearing that you can save money by acquiring a VoIP service instead of using a standard home phone. But how much can you actually save?
A VoIP phone will generally have cheaper monthly access fees (or none at all), and VoIP call rates are almost certain to be cheaper than the rates available on a home phone line – especially if you plan on making national or international calls.
Will you need a home phone as well as VoIP?
The first thing to consider is if you get a VoIP phone, will you need to have a regular home phone line as well? Customers who can get Naked DSL (broadband without an active home phone line) are almost certainly going to save money by using a VoIP service, because they will not need to pay for home phone line rental which is usually $20-$30 per month.
However, customers in regional areas, or who are in an area where their lines do not support ADSL2+, may find that they need to keep a regular home phone line active. This means that they should really only need a VoIP service if they make a heavy amount of calls so they can take advantage of the cheap call rates with VoIP.
Is there a monthly access fee for your VoIP service?
Whether you need to pay a monthly cost for your VoIP service will depend on which Internet Service Provider (ISP) you sign up with. TPG has plans where there is no access fee for VoIP, whereas other providers such as iiNet, Internode, and iPrimus may have a small fee to use their VoIP service each month. Engin has plans where VoIP is included, as well as plans where there is a small access fee on top of your broadband cost. It's worth comparing VoIP services to find the best one for your needs.
Some examples of VoIP access fees:
iiNet – there are two VoIP plans available: netphone1 and netphone2. Netphone1 is for customers with Naked DSL, whereas netphone2 is for customers who have a home phone as well. Each is priced at $9.95 per month.
Internode – there are three VoIP plans on offer: NodePhone2-Starter, NodePhone2-Value and NodePhone2-Premium. They are $5, $10 and $20, and offer $10, $20 and $40 of included call credit respectively.
Engin – there is the option to bundle a broadband and VoIP service together with Engin, or you can just get the VoIP service, and match it with any broadband plan provided by Engin or another ISP. There are five VoIP plans, and they range from $9.95 per month up to $29.95 per month.
What is the difference in hardware costs?
With a standard home phone, generally all you will need to purchase is the actual phone. There are standard phones which are available at a very small cost, and more lavish cordless phones available.
A VoIP service will require a VoIP enabled modem and a phone. You'll need to check with your hardware provider to find out what type of phone handset is compatible with your modem. Some modems will allow any type of home phone to be plugged in. You can also download free 'Softphones' from the internet which allow you to make calls with your computer.
Prices for VoIP enabled modems are slightly pricier than regular Wi-Fi modems. They start at about $159.95 up to about $300. One of the most popular devices is iiNet's BoB™ device which is a Wi-Fi modem and VoIP phone in the one device.
Is there a big difference in call rates?
Your call rates will depend on which plan you are signed up with. Some VoIP plans have super cheap call rates, others have a high value of calls included, whereas many other VoIP plans have unlimited local and national calls. We have compared some of the VoIP call rates to regular home phone plans below.
iiNet – a regular home phone with iiNet costs $29.95 per month/Netphone1 is $9.95 per month
Local Calls: 20 cents/15 cents
National calls: $1.98 up to two hours/15 cents
Calls to the UK: 21 cents per min/5 cents per min
Calls to India: $1.08 per min/29 cents per min
Engin – a regular home phone with Engin costs $20 per month/the cheapest VoIP plan is $9.95 per month
Local Calls: 25 cents/10 cents
National calls: 15 cents per min /10 cents
Calls to the UK: 4 cents per 30 sec + 20 cent connection/3.5 cents per min
Calls to India: 58 cents per 30 sec + 20 cent call connection/9.9 cents per min
Internode – a regular home phone is $34.95 per month/the cheapest VoIP plan is $5 per month (with $10 of call value included).
Local Calls: 18 cents/18 cents
National calls: 15 cents per min /18 cents
Calls to the UK: 15 cents per min + 15 cent connection/5 cents per min
Calls to India: 37 cents per min + 20 cent call connection/5 cents per min

Amy Winehouse's new album may include contribution from Jay-Z as the rapper would 'love to work with her again.'
Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z is willing to help English R&B/soul singer Amy Winehouse working on her new album. Opening it up to The Sun, Jay-Z says he is impressed with Amy's "powerful voice", which he describes as "distinctive and beautiful."
"Amy has a really powerful voice, it is so distinctive and beautiful," Beyonce Knowles' husband explains. "Hopefully in the future we could get together and work on some new material - I'd love to work with her again."
Jay-Z once contributed his vocals in the remix version of Amy Winehouse's single "Rehab" back in 2007. He has also lent a helping hand to such singers as Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles, Bun B, Young Jeezy and many more.
As for Amy Winehouse, she has been busy recording new songs for the follow up of 2006 album "Back to Black". A source said that she has "ditched her trademark vintage soul sound and is now heavily influenced by reggae" and made bosses in Island/Universal Records unhappy. But, the rumor was quickly denied and described as an "absolutely not true" report.

Southern Ute Tribal Chairman Jimmy Newton Jr. walked on March 31, 2014 after an extended illness.
Newton, who has been involved in tribal politics since 2003, was just 37 years old. He was one of the youngest tribal members to ever successfully run for a seat on the Southern Ute Tribal Council. He became tribal chairman in December 2011, according to The Durango Herald.
"Colorado and the Southern Ute Tribe have lost a strong advocate and leader in Chairman Jimmy Newton, and our thoughts are with his family and community," Senator Michael Bennet said in a prepared statement. "As one of the youngest people to ever serve on the tribal council, he was an effective and dedicated leader for a new generation, and he will be greatly missed."
Newton leaves behind a wife, Flora Murphy, and an 18-yaer-old daughter, Maylon Kaye Newton.
The Herald reported that Newton had been on sick leave since mid-March. Matthew Box, a former Southern Ute chairman, told the newspaper that because the community is small—about 1,500—the loss of Newton will be felt by the whole community.
"We've been part of his visions, his travels, his growing up," Box told The Herald Tuesday afternoon. "It will hurt and leave a void in our hearts for a while."
Vice-Chairman James M. Olguin will serve as chairman until a special election is held. The constitution calls for the special election to be held within 60 days.
"Chairman Newton served this Tribe and its members for over a decade. He dedicated his career to helping his fellow Tribal Council and all enrolled members of the Tribe," Olguin said in a press release. "His passing leaves us without our veteran leader and with a huge hole in the heart of all who worked with or knew him.
"We will mourn Chairman Newton but we will also honor him, his leadership, and his legacy by continuing our hard work to strengthen our Tribe and support our members," Olguin continued.
Arrangements for a memorial services are pending.

How best to describe EGTV's James Hill's early attempts to acquit himself in the world of Day Z? Heroic? Probably not - bemused, frightened and at times a little clueless seem a little more apt (sorry James!)
So for the third part of his video diary James turns to Day Z creator Dean Hall (what a dish!) to get some guidance in how best to negotiate the zombie-infested wilderness. Does it make him any better? It certainly gives him the courage to pull off some successful raids, though it doesn't make him any less terrified when the night draws in.
Have you missed the previous installments of our Day Z diaries? Go play catch-up by heading to the entries for Day 1 and Day 2.

All full tables are 8ft long by 2ft wide, plan your layouts accordingly; it might help you to lay out your goods ahead of time.
2. Are the tables covered?
We don't order them covered because of the price raise it would cost you, the artist, if they happen to cover the tables the w00t bonus but there are no guarantees so it may be beneficially to examine options for table dressings.
3. Can I pick my Spot?
No all spots are designated by the Artist alley staff; they will endeavor to honor seating requests in regards to who you would like to sit next to. All power drops supersede regular seating requests.
4. We cannot offer food
Some people mentioned this on the comment forms last year and I would like to address this once and for all again. We cannot offer food to you or any sort of lunch drop off. All catering contracts in the convention center must be done through the convention center or we risk breaching contract with them. We will not offer food, it is you responsibility to take care of food.
5. Do I get a badge with my table?
No, you are paying for a table and two chairs per full table. Badges are separate and you must register for one before you can get a table. You will have to provide your badge number on the Alley/Show Registration form, or else it will not go through. (ie. Purchase a badge before reg for a table). I would suggest doing so ASAP! so you can get a cheaper price. DO NOT SELECT BADGE MAILING! you have to pick it up at con @ the AA/AS staff table.
6. Where is this list of artists appearing at Acen?
I will endeavor to have the list of confirmed artists on the webpage so people can check out which studios will be present at the convention.
7. Where do I get my badge?
You pick up your badge at con when you come to check in. We will only release badges at con.
8. When can we set up/ take down?
You may set up Thursday night or Friday morning, I will ask that everyone endeavors to be ready at their tables when the convention opens to all attendees as a courtesy to other artists.
9. Art Show procedures?
If you are a participant in the art show you will notice the same set of procedures and paperwork, this is nothing to worry about. It should help to get rid of fake bidders and problems which may arise due to illegible handwriting or spelling errors.
10. Chairs?
Your table comes with two chairs there may be a small surplus of chairs at convention for extra seating but I wouldn't count on it as everyone will be vying for the same seats. It may behoove you to bring extra seating if you are worried.
11. Can you watch my table?
No. Artist alley staff cannot sell your goods for you. If someone watches your table they are not held accountable for anything that may go missing. Be careful who you choose to watch your table, it may just be smarter if you have no one to shut down temporarily.
12. When will we know our table placements?
I will endeavor to make table placements and layout available in May before I leave for the convention.
13. Extension Cords?
If you are getting power to your table you should consider a multi tap or an extension cord to run power to your table. Power plug in will be labeled for your use if you find someone has tapped into your power please alert alley staff and we will deal with the problem accordingly.
14. Mailing List?
The mailing list is available to artists for the alley/show. Once the entire Alley is filled the ML will be split/edited into two lists. 1st The People who purchased, 2nd The Waiting list. The alley Staff will use this for updates which are pertinent to everyone. Please make sure you can accept mail for the domain acen.org, otherwise you will miss very important information updates and requests.
15. Stolen items?
Alley Staff is not responsible for any stolen items; make sure you keep an eye on your valuables.
16. Waitlist and At-Con Rental?
When a table opens it will be released to the waitlist in the order of registration on the waitlist. If someone fails to show up at con their table maybe released for at con rental. There is no guarantee of at con rental.
17. Hours of Operation?
This should be the same as last year, baring complications further down the road.
18. Convention Badge and AA Badge?
Not Transferable to other people
19. What if I have a regular con badge already/mailed option?
You will not receive an AA badge in the mail. You will have to surrender your regular badge to get you AA badge. Then after the con you can keep both your badges.
20. How does my Con badge change to AA?
I as DH will take care of that, you need not worry. Unless you have your con badge already, then we will print you an AA badge when you arrive.
21. Do I have to wait in the Reg Lines?
NO please NO. There will be an AA person that will grant you access to the Alley to receive your badge and set up. They will have a balloon tied to them like last year.
22. Can I offer food/drink to Con-goers?
NO! if you do, you will no longer be at ACen.
23. Is there an ID Check to get badges?
Yes. The studio representative will be responsible for making sure all studio mates receive his/her badges.
24. How long does the Alley take to sell out?
1-2.4 days is an average estimate.
25. Do I have to buy a badge before I can reg for a table?
26. When does AA/AS Reg Open/Start?
In Early December
27. Selling wooden or handmade swords
Do ID checks, better safe than sorry right?
28. How many people can be "under" my table?
1 Table=4(this includes you)
2 Tables=8(this includes you)
3 Tables=12(this includes you)
29. Why do I need an Artist Alley badge?
It provides you the ability to sell in the alley. If someone is caught selling material without an AA badge in the Alley they will forfeit their badge and further action may be taken.
30. Can I have regular con-goers(with no AA badge) sit behind my table?
No, this will result in one warning to the studio. The offenders without AA badges will then be required to forfiet their Convention Badges. If a second offense occurs the studio risks losing their table(s) with no refund. Please remember this is the Artist Alley, not random sitting area. If you have kids 12 and under and you would like to talk to me/have a question please contact me.
31. When will Artist Alley / Art Show Registration open?
32. How do my Studio Mates / Friends get an AA badge so they can sell at my table?
You will have to enter their information and badge numbers into the AA reg system. Then their badges will be changed to AA and they will receive them in the Alley at the Convention During set-up time. Unless they are arriving late in which case you will need to talk with me before con. If you have not entered them into the system then they will not appear as having an AA badge.
Please see. 19, 21, 33, and 34 for more info on this subject
33. If my Studio Mate(s) / Friend(s) selected their badge to be Mailed will an AA badge be Mailed to them?
No. No AA badges will be Mailed
34. How will my studio mates and I get past "The Blockade" of IRT to get to the table to set-up and receive badges before the Con?
There will be an Alley Staff member up front by the blockade. They will have with them a list of people who are in our system. Tell them your name (your actual/real name that you registered you badge with) and if you are on the list then you will be granted access to the AA/AS area of the convention.
35. How will I know if I am on the waiting list?
The email that I send to you will come straight out and say, You are on the Waiting List.
36. I got an error message back after I submitted a table request on the AA/AS REG form. What does it mean?
It means you either have not bought a badge or it is not paid for.
37. I got an error message back after I submitted a table request on the AA/AS REG form. Am I on the Waiting List?
See #35
38. Can I pay online for my table(s), flat(s), etc.....
No. Use the form, it tells you what to do.
39. When did the AA/AS Registration open in 2009?
The same time as 08 & 07.
40. Why will you not tell us when it is going to open?
I am working on making sure that all the "i"s are dotted and all the "t"s are crossed.
41. Can one of my studio members pay for the table(s), flat(s), etc......?
Yes, just make sure everything is included when payment is sent and whom the payment should be counted towards.
42. Can I send Cash?
NO. If you send cash I will be extremely unhappy. Cash can not be traced, so if something happens along the way before it gets to us and no money is in it, you don't get a table.
43. Should I make someone sign for the payment mail thingy?
NO. If you do it will be sent back to you, and you will have wasted all that time and money sending it.
44. If the Alley is Full what can we do?
Send in the AA/AS Reg form (on the website) and you will be added to the waiting list.
45. Why should I even bother being on the wait list?
The wait list moves when people drop out.
46. How can I contact you the quickest?
Email is my preferred system of communication.
47. Will you be giving out your personal/home phone number, or will anyone give me your personal/home phone number?
No, but my google voice number is in my email signatures.
48. How long will it take for you to respond to my question?
When ever I am on the computer or get to my computer, usually very soon or at least withing 24hrs. - 48hrs.
49. The payment form you sent me is wrong. What can I do?
Follow the directions of the welcome letter and I will send you a new one.
50. Why is registration for a badge separate from a table?
The Reg system is not compatible with the AA system, also (don't do this) if you send a check to AA and you included your badge reg (don't do this) it would slow down your process for a badge and table.
51. Why is there no checkout system that combines everything (tables & badges) together?
Time and see #50
52. How long did it take the Alley to fill in 2009?
4 Full Days.
53. Can my studio members sign later/after the form is sent in?
Yes, they just have to be aware of the rules and regulations.
54. When is the deadline to submit all of my studio members names and badge numbers?
April 23 at 11:59pm CST
55. What if my studio members do not pre-reg and want to purchase a badge at con?
The Regular convention Reg line should expect more people then. Unless you have extenuating circumstances and you have contacted me.
56. Why do we have to pre-reg for a badge this year?
It is to make sure that when people register for an Artist Alley Table / Art Show Flat/Table that they are actually going to attend the event. In the past some people have registered for a table (and payed for said table) but never showed up because they didn't want to purchase a badge. This created for an artificial bubble of artists and kicked people onto the waiting list.
57. What if I never send in my payment for a badge or a table or both?
You will not get an AA/AS table/flat.
58. What does the Alley/Show do about sales tax?
You handle your own sales tax issue, we do not do it for you.
59. I run panels at ACen and I got an error message about my badge.
Email me the information you have pertaining to your panel so I can look up your status
60. What if the AA/AS Form "hates" my birth date?
It doesn't hate your day of birth, its a format issue that is wrong. I know, it should be fixed and we should have caught it. I am working on getting it fixed for the 2010 event.
It asks to enter your DOB like mm-dd-yyyy but it actually is mm/dd/yyyy .
61. I got the Welcome letter, what do I do now?
You read it. Then follow the directions
62. Where should I send the payment and forms?
To the address given. and see #61
63. What if I send it somewhere else?
Then I will never get it and you will have lost your table, and someone will take your spot.
64. What if I already sent it somewhere else?
See #63
65. What should I do if I need the payment form changed?
Follow the Welcome letter instructions. I will tell you the exact same thing if you ask me. and See #49
66. What should I do if I have never heard from you about table confirmation, error, wait-list, or anything else by email?
Then you misspelled your email address. I can not contact you.
67. I think I am asking to many questions.
No your not. If possible you are not asking enough. (NOT SARCASTIC)
I would much rather answer as many questions before Convention Time than deal with Convention Time troubles. (even if I seem grumpy)
68. My payment got sent back to me, why?
You asked for it to be signed for. Soooo see #43
69. What can I expect at con if I never paid for my badge?
I will turn you away even if you yell at me, and at an added bonus if you yell at me (about you not paying for your badge) I will have IRT escort you out.
70. What can I expect at con if I never paid for my table?
I will turn you away even if you yell at me, and at an added bonus if you yell at me (about you not paying for your table) I will have IRT escort you out.
71. What if I did send my payment for my table or badge and you say you never got it?
I never got it. (There are 2 AA/AS people working on it (received payments) not counting finance people, and I am checking everyones work) So you never paid for your table. Soooo see #s 69 and 70.
72. Will I get a confirmation that my payment has been received for the Alley/Show?
Yes. or see #66
73. What if I am going to try to say (@ Con) that you never contacted me?
I know who I have never heard from. So if you try to lie to me to get anything in return you can count on being in big DOO DOO for trying to steal from ACen.
74. Well I heard.........
That is nice. That does not make it true. Check it out for your self. I am more than willing to answer questions after you checked the FAQ.
75. Can I see the map before it comes out/before everyone else gets to see it?
76. What happens if I say "Well the past DH let me do it" to justify the breaking of rules?
You are still in trouble.
77. Do you keep in contact with most of the Past AA/AS DH(s)?
Yes, and may I say they are all very wonderful people.
78. What happens if I do not have enough money sent to cover the cost of my table, flat, etc...?
Then you do not get it? I will notify you and give you some time to send in the rest.
79. What if I sent in more money than needed for my table, flat, etc......?
I would like to keep this from happening, since I would have to go through a lot of paperwork to get the situation resolved.
80. When is my table payment due?
If I changed the date I will let you know, if not follow the Welcome letter directions.
81. When is my badge payment due?
It was due before you obtain a table/flats/etc....
82. When is my badge payment due if you gave an extension because payments are arriving late?
I will let you know in the email after the 7 business day grace period.
83. What if I drop out of the Alley can I get a refund for my table, flat, powerdrop, backdrop, art table?
The rules have the dates that you must submit a formal request to receive a refund.
84. What if I drop out of the Alley can I get a refund for my badge?
85. How old do I have to be in order to get/sale at an AA/AS space?
To sign the contract a person of 18 or + age needs to sign the contract, and be connected to that studio (ie. Parent/Guardian). This is because of legal stuff.
86. How many days do I have to buy a table for?
87. Can I only buy one day?
88. Can I leave early from my table?
There will be a check out form (@ con) for the artists who check out early. If a lot of people check out of the Alley it makes the Alley and the Artists who stay look bad. This will not happen, people who do not inform us why (with a legitimate reason) and take more time than necessary will risk loosing their table.
89. How do I add more peoples to my studio/table?
Send me their badge numbers, real names they regged with pre-reg, and your studio name/real name.
90. Why can I not access my account for my badge?
I do not know, ask REG.
91. What do I do if I selected badge mailing?
See #19
92. What if I never heard from you about my status with the AA/AS?
See #66, and I am waiting for you to contact me so that I have your actual email.
93. How will I get to my table if I do not have a badge?
See #34
94. If I tell a different department something about AA will you hear about it?
Yes, but if you need to contact AA/AS I would suggest emailing AA/AS with your AA/AS question/issue.
95. If I tell AA something about another Department will they hear it?
If it is a matter that I can help solve, and make your stress level go down, I will try my best.
96. Will AA carry my things for me at con?
No, people abused us in 08 & 07 and didn't even say thank you. I can not ask my volunteer staff to help you, carry your things.
97. Can I use my friends power drop?
Did you pay in full for one?
98. I do not want to read all of the FAQ.
...... ok ......
99. If I forgot to request to be next to my friends on my form or email before Con can you change it?
No, there will be a form for table switching that both parties have to sign and turn into me. So you have to find a person who will switch with you.
100. Are there new forms for at Con?
Yes, they are: Table swap and sign-out
101. Will there be Wi-Fi in the Alley for us to use?
No, unfortunately Wi-Fi is not available in the Convention Center. I can say that there is Internet access in your hotel room (for a small fee) and there is free Wi-Fi at some of the surrounding Fast Food Establishments.
102. Does anyone get free tables?
No, unless you are the Grand Prize winner of our Doujinshi Central 2010.
103. Will you be having a juried Alley?
104. What is a juried Alley?
When you submit your artwork and products for approval before being allowed to step foot in the Alley as an Artist.
105. Can I sell Fanart?
See the rules and regulations to see if it specifically states no, and on what objects it says no.
106. Will you (DH) have a table?
No I think that would be a conflict of interest and it would detract from my ability/time to help you with ACen/AA/AS issues.
107. When would be best for use to move-in?
Thursday, please. It makes things much easier and it is a lot less crowded.
108. Can I use a printer at my table?
Yes, just not a huge toner the size of some of my staffers .
109. Do you have the Alley open 24/7 during the con?
No, were as I can understand the want to have the Artist Alley open 24/7, I do not think people would want to see a rise in table prices for it.
110. Is this Alley / Show on a first come first serve system?
111. Will you tell me what spot I am in, if I am on the waiting list?
No, I do not have that kind of time to continually notify people what place they are in throughout the year.
112. Can I use any of the RES Services that the convention center offers?
See DH for a specific list and procedure to use the RES Services.
113. Where can I get added to the waiting list?
HERE, you will notice it is the same form that was used to Register for the Alley/Show. Just put something random in the badge number field.
114. Who should I make out the payment to?
Did you read your welcome email? Did you read your payment form?
115. Why is the FAQ so long?
So all the answers can be in one spot for everyone.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Upland High softball coach Sarah Farnworth has seen her team practice well, but hasn't always seen it in games.
On Thursday, the Highlanders picked a good time to play like they practice.
Savannah Linan had three hits, driving in all three runs with a pair of doubles, and visiting Upland knocked off Los Osos 3-1 in a Baseline League contest.
"We've practiced well and now we played like it," Farnworth said. "We came up with big hits and played good defense."
Thursday's game was a pitcher's duel, but neither team was overpowered by the other's pitcher.
Upland's Kirsten Durazo pitched a six-hitter, but didn't strike out a batter. Los Osos pitchers Marissa Young and Ciera Schick allowed seven hits and struck out just four.
Defense was critical.
"We had to play all 21 outs," Farnworth said.
All three of Upland's runs were unearned thanks to two Los Osos errors.
In the first inning, Upland took the early lead when Shelby Yung led off with a single and Cassidy Duke reached on an error. After a one-out single loaded the bases, Linan doubled home two runs with two outs to make it 2-0.
"I just wanted to get my teammates home," Linan said. "(Getting the runs) really got us hyped up. This is big, because they won league last year."
Los Osos (10-2 overall, 2-1 league) had its chances, and answered for its lone run in the bottom half of the first on Paige Halstead's two-out RBI single. But the Grizzlies left the bases loaded and left seven on base in the game.
"It was our goal to go undefeated in league. No one wants to lose a league game," Los Osos coach Mike Randall said. "We just didn't make adjustments at the plate."
Upland added to its lead in the fifth inning when Reanna Cervantes reached on a one-out error, runner Cassandra Seymour stole second and with two outs, Linan doubled inside the third-base bag to make it 3-1.
Durazo, meanwhile, settled down after the first inning. She retired the Grizzlies in order in the third and seventh and stranded a runner in scoring position in the second and fourth innings.
She also benefitted from a baserunning blunder/nice defensive play.
In the fifth inning, Los Osos' Krista Mann doubled with one out and then Carly Thomas hit a grounder to short. Mann was straying off second, hoping to take third on the throw to first.
But Upland shortstop Raven Preseau kept her eye on Mann and tagged her out before she could make it back to second.

Networks collaborate on fundraiser
By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
In an unprecedented example of cooperation brokered by
tragedy, the four major networks are planning a star-studded fundraiser to benefit
the families of victims of last week's terrorist attack, as well as survivors
and rescue workers. Mariah Carey is among the stars who will appear on the two-hour
live special, scheduled for 9 p.m. ET/PT Friday.
ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC will broadcast the event. So will
WB, UPN, BET, Comedy Central, Court TV, Discovery, E!, Fox Family, FX, HBO,
Lifetime, MTV, PAX, PBS, Showtime, Sundance Channel, Telemundo, TLC, TNN, TNT,
Univision and VH1.
Musical performances will be featured comedy routines
are less appropriate under the circumstances but organizers also expect
to line up appearances by movie, TV and sports stars.
Actors Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey
and George Clooney, along with musicians Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Bon
Jovi, Santana and Stevie Wonder, are among those who have been approached and
have expressed a willingness to participate, a top network source said.
On her TV show today, Rosie O'Donnell asked the participants
in Friday's telethon to donate $1 million to the cause. The comedian Jim Carrey
has already said he would donate $1 million to the families of the victims.
All money raised would be donated to those affected by
the crashes of airplanes hijacked last Tuesday. Donations will be accepted by
phone and Internet.
Joel Gallen, who produces MTV's Movie Awards and is an
executive producer of the upcoming Ben Stiller film Zoolander, is behind
the effort, hatched by the major networks late last week.
Unlike other relief efforts featuring entertainment stars
such as 1985's Live Aid (to combat starvation in Africa), Farm Aid or
Hands Across America (to fight hunger and homelessness in the USA) an
effort to get a wide TV audience is deemed critical to ensuring large donations.
"I don't think there is any precedent for it," says TV
historian and author Tim Brooks, referring to a single entertainment program
airing across all major networks and any independent stations that wish to carry
Other entertainment industry events also are in the works.
A musical tribute to John Lennon, which was to have aired
Thursday on TNT, has been tentatively rescheduled for Oct. 2, now as a relief
benefit. And Michael Jackson is assembling an all-star cast for the benefit
single What More Can I Give?

You know I told you Alice's party was on the 13th? Well I saw her last night and apparently it's on the 14th.
She looks about ten, but apparently she's 14.
B2 used to say that something seems to be true, although it is not certain:

Hazel Hall
Biography of Hazel Hall
Hazel Hall (February 7, 1886 – May 11, 1924) was an American poet based in Portland, Oregon.
Hall was born on February 7, 1886 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. As a young girl, she moved to Portland, Oregon with her family. After surviving scarlet fever at the age of twelve, she used wheelchair for the rest of her life. She worked as a seamstress, and in her twenties, she began writing poetry.
Her first published poem was "To an English Sparrow", which appeared in the Boston Evening Transcript in 1916. Her work appeared in The Century Magazine, Harper's Magazine, The New Republic, The Nation, Poetry, Yale Review, and Literary Review.
Reviewer Pearl Andelson of Poetry said this of Hall's first collection, Curtains, in 1922, "Comes Hazel Hall with her little book, every word and emotion of which is poignantly authentic."
She died on May 11, 1924 in Portland, Oregon.
Hazel Hall Poems
I have known hours built like cities, House on grey house, with streets between That lead to straggling roads and trail off,
Three Girls
Three school-girls pass this way each day: Two of them go in the fluttery way Of girls, with all that girlhood buys;
Sunlight Through A Window
Beauty streamed into my hand In sunlight through a pane of glass; Now at last I understand Why suns must pass.
I was sewing a seam one day. Just this way— Flashing four silver stitches there With thread, like this, fine as a hair,
Light Sleep
Women who sing themselves to sleep Lie with their hands at rest, Locked over them night-long as though to keep Music against their breast.
A footstep sounded from the street... Listening, I knew of you! With the good singing of your feet You came in, too.
A Baby's Dress
It is made of finest linen— Sheer as wasp-wings; It is made with a flowing panel Down the front,
The Listening Macaws
Many sewing days ago I cross-stitched on a black satin bag Two listening macaws.
The Hand-Glass
I am holding up a mirror to look at life; in my hand-glass I see a strange, hushed street below me Where people pass.
Finished To-Night
I have unleashed my hands, like hounds, And I must not call them back; They are off with virile bounds On the hidden quarry's track.
THERE is a woman who makes my eye A place of shadows, as now and then I see her dimly going by,
Things That Grow
I like things with roots that know the earth, Trees whose feet, nimble and brown, Wander around in the house of their birth
White Branches
I had forgotten the gesture of branches Suddenly white, And I had forgotten the fragrance of blossoms
TIPTOEING twilight, Before you pass, Bathe light my spirit As dew bathes grass.

THERE is a woman who makes my eye
A place of shadows, as now and then
I see her dimly going by,
And faintly coming back again.
She moves as many others move;
There is no uttrance in her tread
To tempt an echo, nor to prove
What other footsteps have not said.

BOOKMAKERS filled their bags and punters were left scratching their heads at Rosehill.
Darley's previously unbeaten three-year-old Sessions went from $1.40 to $2 in the betting ring before finishing third to the Chris Waller-trained Catkins.
Peter Robl, who rode Sessions, ended up in the stewards room after he had been forced to fight a fired-up three-year-old colt for the first half of the race.
As the field was on its way to the barriers, it was announced that the intention was to ride Sessions behind the speed. But that went out the window when he jumped to the front.
"Five-horse fields are not doing him any favours, he needs to get into a big field and follow a bum," Robl said. "That would probably turn him into racehorse."
Stewards questioned Robl and called in Darley's stable foreman Brad Widdup to explain why Sessions over-raced for the first half of the race to be a spent force as the field entered the home straight.
"At trackwork he doesn't do that,'' Widdup said. ''[Trainer] Pete [Snowden] rang up and said he wants to push on. What you saw today is not him.
''We are going to look for a race with tempo even if we bring him back to 1000 metres. Teach him how to race."
TAB Sportsbet reported bets of $10,000 and $7000 on Sessions at $1.75.
Chief steward Ray Murrihy told Widdup in his opinion ''it was nigh on impossible to ride him with cover in these sort of races''.
"It's not doing anyone any good at the moment," Murrihy said.
Catkins was just more professional than Sessions and she appreciated the three-kilogram weight turnaround on the favourite. She raced past him at the 200 metres and went away to score.
"That has been her from the first day she came into the stable, she just does things right," Waller said. "She is just bombproof. We had her nominated for a listed race in Melbourne today but decided to stay here.
"She has done a great job this preparation, she has beaten the older mares twice and now won this and I think that will be it for her."
Waller will target black type with the Ingham Racing filly at her next campaign but could give her a little longer in the paddock.
"I think she will be a Queensland winter sort of filly. There are some nice races there for her then," Waller said.

Once again it has been announced that the limit for Tier 1 general visas has been reached very early in the month. This month the 600 visas cap was hit on the 7th of December and no more Tier 1 visas will be granted from outside the UK until January 2011.
Robyn Cory, Visa Manger at 1st Contact says it is vital that anyone wanting to apply for the Tier 1 do so as soon as they possibly can.
"In November the cap was reached on the 10th. This month it was reached on the 7th. This means it will only become more difficult each month and many people will never have their applications processed! The only thing you can do at this stage is get your application in before the end of January 2011 and get in the queue and hope for the best." says Cory.
"The Home Office will be closed from the 23rd of December until the 4th of January 2011, which will further cause delays. And the permanent cap comes into play in April of 2011 – meaning there is not much time left to get your application in."
Gather your documents and apply soon!
Instead of trying to go it alone, let a 1st Contact consultant help to make the process simpler for you, and ensure that everything is correct, giving you a much better chance of being approved once your application reaches the processing stage.
You will need:
- Two recent colour passport photos;
- Your valid current passport;

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -
Jack Christiansen Invite results
Freshman Shreese Daniels was the top performer for the University of Wyoming track and field program Saturday at the Jack Christiansen Invite as she threw her way into Cowgirl history. Over the weekend, five student-athletes put their names in the UW record book.
Cowgirl highlights
Daniels won the shot put with a personal-best mark of 48 feet, 11.75 inches. That mark was fifth in Wyoming history and broke her freshman shot record, set earlier this season.
As a team, the Cowgirls were second out of nine teams with 157.5 points, trailing Colorado State with 190.
The women's throwers went 1-2-4 in the shot put. After Daniels, junior Mollie Dahl hit 48-0.75 (No. 6 all-time) and senior Ashley Hutchinson was fourth with a toss of 47-11 to sit in No. 8 all-time.
"The gals stepped up and competed very well, pushing each other fighting for an NCAA First-Round qualifying mark," Wyoming throws coach Paul Barrett said.
Senior Chantel Bernabo was fifth in the 100-meter dash (12.51 seconds), while freshman Samantha Kee was second in the 200, 24.61. In the 400, senior Lindsey Simmons was fifth with a 57-second performance, and junior Olivia Heaston was second in the 800, with an altitude-converted time of 2:18.64.
Sophomore Emily Swigart was fifth in the 1,500-meter run (18:16.31 with altitude conversion); sophomore Jenna Mann was second in the 100 hurdles (14.35) and junior Diana Long and sophomore Taylor Gardner went 1-2 in the 400 hurdles, respectively. The quartet of Bernabo, freshman Audrey West, Kee and Gardner won the 4-by-100-meter relay with a time of 46.50, a season best.
Sophomore Emily Moore was second in the triple jump (38-2) and junior Anna George was second in the javelin with a throw of 127-11.
Cowboy highlights
The Cowboys finished third out of 10 teams with 115 points, finishing behind Air Force and Colorado State.
Senior Travis Gunderson was third in the 100 dash (11.08) and junior Stephen Michel, competing for the first time in the outdoor season, was seventh in the 200, with a time of 22.15. The return of Michel was a boost for the 4-by-100-meter relay team, as he, Gunderson, junior Lenyn Leonce and senior Jeremiah James won with a time of 41.21. Freshman Jason Roascio was ninth in the 400 (49.66) and junior Ken Lane was ninth in the 800, 2:00.88. James also won the triple jump, hitting 49-3.75.
Senior Taylor Kelting made his case for the NCAA First Round with a time of 3:48.50 in the 1,500-meter run to finish second. Kelting's time was eighth on UW's all-time list. Junior Brandon Douglass and sophomore Colin Herold went 3-4 in the 110 hurdles.
"We really had some nice times and I thought the 4-by-100 teams ran really well," Wyoming head coach Don Yentes said. "There were some solid all-around performances. We looked a little worn down from the end of semester, but the kids got after it.
"Right now we're making some strides, and hopefully next Friday will be much better."
Wyoming hits the road Friday for the annual Front Range Championships, hosted by the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.

You'll be dazzled by the architecture of Miami, but you'll fall in love with the boho beach bars of Key West, says
You've seen Miami so often in countless films and TV series that when you visit it for the first time, it's like bumping into a famous person who looks so familiar that you are convinced that you actually know them. But if Miami were a celebrity, she would toss her immaculately groomed hair, give you a glacial look and stalk off in her 6in-high designer heels.
It's an exciting, sexy city with wonderful architecture — old and new — but beneath the surface dazzle it has a slightly hard edge.
My family of four had wanted to stay in South Beach but found it booked up. When I said this to an old gay friend of mine, who lives in ritzy Palm Beach up the…
