Digital Audio (FLAC/MP3/etc) Players (DAPs) item created by Ebunnage, Jun 19, 2010
Pros - Audio quality, Value, the size, battery life
Cons - Not being able to pause a song without unlocking phone, volume can be drastic, very large screen making it hard to use rubberbands to attach amp
The HTC HD2 has amazing sound quality without an amp, but with an amp you begin to run into problems. My Fiio E11 is perfect for the size of the HD2, but the rubber bands make using a part of the screen impossible. To overcome this, I would recommend using a stickyback velcro and placing the base on your HD2 and the hooks on your amp. If you don't have an amp, you are going to find it extremely annoying to pause a song or even lowering the volume. The HTC rivals in sound quality, but not the design.

TLA 2013: Technology Deployment
Craig Brown, CEO, STEM Resource Partners
Two big issues for IT today are the BYOD and big data phenomena -- especially in organizations that resist change. The challenge is getting the organization to recognize that change is needed and invest in the technology that will bring about a more efficient ways to collect data, manage customers (both internal and external), market to new customers, and solve communication issues.
Brown faced this challenge in trying to manage the expectations of the senior executive team around adoption of these emerging trends while maintaining business-as-usual reliability, security, and costs. He looked for low-cost technology that would let him deliver a small innovation within his budget but provide benefits in at least one area that would be noticed and revered as an accomplishment to justify the need enterprisewide for a serious investment.
Brown also had to engage in politics around misguided perceptions and ideology. "I had to first correct the perception that the business was doing fine and that change was not needed," he recalls.
He created that proof-of-concept project under the radar. It allowed the sales team to create a new customer profile via a new mobile application -- an approach that worked well in point-of-sale contexts. He was then able to enhance the mobile application so that the internal customer service could use it internally to enhance internal communication -- which became a cost savings to the business. The mobile applications were welcomed by the administrative, customer service, and sales teams.
These small successes let senior management buy in to a new approach to improving the world it had seen as already perfect. Now, teams are no longer tied to their email at their workstations. Instead, they can go out and work with both their customers and external support staff. Some competitors were already doing this, so this effort at least got STEM in the new game. "My plan only worked because I had the support of the team leads and the project managers," Brown notes.
Both the mobile applications and devices paid for themselves with just part of the new revenue they helped generate. This revenue exceeded the mobile application development costs, so fit well in the company's culture of not increasing short-term or long-term costs.

A happy ending! Leonardo DiCaprio's niece, six, is reunited with her grandfather after she was 'abducted' by parents
- Normandie Farrar, six, was claimed to have been 'abducted by a family member' and was located in Texas last Thursday
- The girl is the daughter of Adam Farrar, Leonardo DiCaprio's older step-brother
- Normandie has since been placed in the care of grandfather George DiCaprio, who lives in Los Angeles
- Farrar and girlfriend Charity Moore were said to have been living in Texas out of the reach of LA County Department of Children and Family Service
Leonardo DiCaprio's niece who was 'abducted' by her criminal parents is now in the care of her grandfather, the actor's father George DiCaprio, after being found in Texas last Thursday.
Six-year-old Normandie Farrar is the daughter of DiCaprio's older step-brother Adam Farrar, 43, who was arrested on January 24 in Collin County, Texas on drug charges. Farrar's girlfriend Charity Moore, 38, was arrested just a week before on similar charges.
Because of their criminal histories, daughter Normandie was a dependent of the court in California and should not have been taken outside the state by her parents when they moved to Texas this summer.
Following his arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department accused Farrar of 'concealing' Normandie out of state.
Family outing: Leonardo DiCaprio's 6-year-old niece Normandie Farrar (center) is currently living with her grandfather George DiCaprio (right) and grandmother Peggy (left) in Los Angeles after being 'adbucted' by her parents to Texas
Carefree: The 6-year-old seemed happy while out running errands with her grandparents on Saturday. Her grandfather George DiCaprio (right) is the father of Leonardo DiCpario
Role model: Leonardo DiCaprio, pictured here in 1997 with Adam Farrar, was inspired to go into acting after seeing his step-brother build a career in film and TV
The girl was found on January 30 and
taken back to California to live with her grandfather George DiCaprio at
his home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to X17online.com.
Photographers snapped the seemingly-happy 6-year-old out with her grandparents running errands in Los Angeles on Saturday.
DiCaprio, currently up for an Academy Award for his role in the Wolf of Wall Street, grew up with Farrar after his dad married Farrar's mother Peggy when he was young.Dicaprio's mother Iremlin DiCpario divorced George when her son was still a baby.
DiCaprio and Farrar used to be close and
the pair were seen attending Los Angeles Lakers games together and hitting
the Hollywood party scene – although in recent years it's thought their
relationship has turned sour.
Sources told RadarOnline that Farrar and his Oscar nominee step-brother 'have had zero contact in recent years and do not get along.'
Taken: Authorities in LA accused Normandie's father Adam Farrar (right) of concealing her in Texas. She was a dependent of the court in California
It is widely reported that DiCaprio was inspired to go into acting after he saw his step-brother carve a career for himself in commercials, movies and TV in the 1980s.
Farrar is best known for his roles in the science fiction series Battlestar Galactica and the ABC comedy-drama Eight is Enough.
Farrar was detained in Collin County on January 24 on 'two Class A Misdemeanors...for possession of a dangerous drug and theft'.
to the website, both charges were outstanding warrants issued in Los
Angeles. He was also reportedly charged with phone harassment.
If convicted, the 43-year-old faces a lengthy prison sentence.
In an interview with MailOnline yesterday, Rachell Costin, a younger sister of Charity, had said the family knew where the girl was, but refused to reveal her whereabouts.
Asked if the Normandie was with a relative, Rachell, 28, from Garland, Texas, said: 'I can't tell anyone that information, I wish I could, but I definitely want to let you know she is safe, so that way you don't report maybe she's still missing and report wrong information.
Have you seen this child? Authorities were searching for missing Normadie Farrar, pictured
Rachell, who has an eight-month-old son herself, claimed her sister was a good mom.
She said: 'Charity loves her daughter so much. I can tell you that, I can tell you that Charity does love her daughter a lot and she definitely would never want her to be in an unsafe place or anything. I'm sure she does (know Normandie is in a safe place), I haven't talked to her though about that.'
Asked about the drug allegations against her sister, Rachell said: 'I know nothing about Charity and her alleged drug use, I know nothing about that.
'I don't want to even comment on the drug use, I've just known her to be the same Charity my whole life, I don't want to say whether yes or no. She really loves, her daughter, She's a good mum to her daughter.'
She added that as far as she was aware Normandie was not subject to a missing person search.
Rachell said: 'As far as I know, police here are not and police in LA shouldn't be either. I guess when they first got arrested maybe they were then, but I can let you know now she's safe. It's nobody else's business about what's going on with her.'
Trouble with the law: Farrar's girlfriend Charity Moore was also arrested nearly a week before him on a number of charges. Both were said to have been hiding out in Texas beyond the reach of LA social workers
Lengthy: Her charges include two counts of possession of a dangerous drug, theft and a misdemeanor involving a parent contributing to the child's failure to attend school'
Back in the day: DiCaprio and his brother used to be close, pictured attending a basketball game together in LA in 2010
2010, Farrar has been in and out of courts on charges of harassment,
possession of controlled substances, driving without a license and
domestic violence.
In 2000, as DiCaprio was riding the success of his blockbuster Titanic, Farrar was arrested on charges that he attempted to kill his then-girlfriend and made terroristic threats.
At the time, Peggy DiCaprio said of her troubled son: 'Adam is one of the most nonviolent people I know,' according to New York Daily News.
Farrar was released within 48 hours of his March 2000 arrest, and the charges against him were eventually dropped.
People Magazine reported that two years earlier, the struggling actor landed in trouble with the law after allegedly assaulting a photographer who was pursuing his superstar sibling. Charges were never filed in that case.

Firefox: New Beta and Security Updates
Beginning of the week saw the emergence of two Firefox browser releases. They should be a win for stability and security.
The Mozilla project has already opened the week with two Firefox updates, Firefox 3.5 in a fourth beta and a 3.0.10 update to the stable 3.0 release.
Firefox 3.5, which was until recently still called 3.1, is in its fourth beta appropriate for developer testing and community feedback. The Mozilla project built in some performance enhancements and better surfing speed and webpage compatibility. The beta is available in 70 languages and includes private browsing mode to prevent others from peeking at your browsing history. The TraceMonkey JavaScript engine should provide better performance and stability.
Firefox 3.5's geolocation function provides location-aware browsing, while speculative parsing in the Gecko layout engine should render content faster. Integration of video and audio element support in HTML 5 we had already reported back in September. The update includes new CSS properties and font downloads, vector graphic support was improved, and includes HTML 5 offline data storage capabilities where web applications can integrate data in structured SQL format.
The stable Firefox 3.0.10 release may be less feature rich but nonetheless plugs a security hole. The update fixes a problem that would crash the browser and, because of memory corruption, caused vulnerability to attacks. The patches also fix a crash issue when investigating code with the HTML Validator. Mozilla promised automatic update notification to Firefox users within 48 hours. Downloads of the 3.5 beta are available at the Mozilla website.

Jamie Foxx captured the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the biopic Ray
Jamie Foxx won the best-actor Oscar at the 77th Annual Academy Awards for the title role in "Ray," in which he portrays an uncanny emulation of beloved singer Ray Charles. He may feel proud with the victory, for which he definitely defeats any other promising nominess which include Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp and Clint Eastwood.
Moreover, Foxx's triumph has made it only the second time in Oscar history that blacks won two of the four acting honors after Morgan Freeman's supporting-actor win for "Million Dollar Baby."

Every agent wants clients who keep coming back for more: more guidance, more service, and more solutions. If your book of business is filled with groups who are navigating today's complex ACA healthcare benefits marketplace—and trying to keep their employees happy—you have more opportunities than ever to "seal the deal" on your indispensible value, time and time again.
So what makes this sticky business for brokers? It's about providing value.
Valuable Benefits Solutions
Each product you sell to your client is like a tie that binds them to you. Consider the "staying power" of a client who works with you to offer a wide range of product lines to their employees. Building and maintaining a portfolio of products helps ensure you're always the person they turn to when new needs arise.
And more importantly, employers are benefitting from the rising popularity of ancillary healthcare products because they complement workforce attraction and retention efforts. According to a recent LIMRA report, 71% employers believe that voluntary benefits improve worker morale and satisfaction. That's because these products—from dental and vision plans to critical illness and medical gap insurance—help round-out employee benefits packages at a time when people need help managing their rising out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
Valuable Education
Clients depend on your expertise to shape their employee benefits strategies. Every time you share insights on how to save costs while meeting the changing needs and preferences of their workforce, your value as a trusted, go-to advisor rises. It's common sense.
According to a 2013 LIMRA study, 60% of small businesses that don't offer voluntary benefits to their employees simply don't know about them. Don't you wonder where the insurance broker was when they put together their "menu" of benefit offerings? It just goes to show that if you start selling voluntary products to your clients—educating them on their importance and how they attract today's employees—your experience and know-how will be credited, once again.
Value to the Bottom Line
A key to building loyalty with clients, especially employer groups in today's marketplace, is making the most of their benefit dollars and saving them money. Clients are likely to make repeat purchases when you've impacted their budgets and shown them new ways to lower spending.
Aside from lowering costs for employers (since employees typically cover the premium costs), voluntary products are designed to drive down overall medical expenses for the employees. Getting the care they need at a more affordable cost can result in healthier and more productive employees. The impact of these productivity gains can be sizable.
And don't forget about your bottom line. Voluntary sales are a great door opener, can be sold year-round and will certainly boost your income.
Ready to "Get Stuck" On Selling Voluntary Solutions?
Call HealthPlan Services, your Benefits Hub, at 800-545-6441 for information tailored to fit your clients' needs.

What started as a dream of three women who wanted to create a fun, healthy event for kids has blossomed into the Best Kids Triathlon in the World. It is also one of the three largest in the United States. All of this would not have been possible without the strong support of sponsors, the thoughtfulness of volunteers, the help of parents and the energy of all the kids. We are very proud of what we have accomplished, and we are even more motivated to keep making every year better than the last.

Has the Big Bad wolf run out of air from trying to blow the house down? Is Goldilocks tired of running all the way home? Does your preschooler's story repertoire need a little spark? Here are some suggestions that are sure to add a bit of pizzazz to the list of old favorites.
GOOD NIGHT, by Jim Weiss, 1989, $9.95 for audiocassette, $13.45 for CD, 1 hour; ages 4-8. When the bedtime stories have succeeded in putting you to sleep but your child is still wide awake, this recording will definitely finish the job. The six vignettes, mellow musical interludes and Weiss' gentle voice are guaranteed to send your child off into dreamland. Through vivid descriptions, Weiss successfully transports children to a tropical island, a treehouse in the forest, a mountain cabin, a farm, a mermaids' lagoon and to visit a unicorn. Weiss makes each location come to life when he describes the sounds and sites and gives listeners a role by asking them to wish on a shooting star or listen to a seashell on the tropical island. Every story eventually leads youngsters to look for a safe and comfortable place to sleep and ends with the suggestion of a soothing, repetitive noise from the story-fish jumping or waves on a beach.
Not only will these vivid stories induce children into slumber, they also will provide great fuel for their imaginations. With these stories as a starting point, children can create their own visualizations based on the day's events or a past experience. After falling asleep to these peaceful images, youngsters are sure to have sweet dreams. "Good Night" can be purchased at specialty toy and bookstores, by calling (800) 477-6234 or online at www.greathall.com.
THE ANIMAL BOOGIE, illustrated by Debbie Harter, sung by Fred Penner, Barefoot Books, 2000, $9.99 for paperback book and CD, 8 minutes; ages 2-5. Even the youngest children will immediately be drawn into this adorable, interactive story and song. This fast-paced, sing-a-long, move-a-long tale introduces listeners to jungle animals and their movements through a riddle format. (The first page describes how the animal moves and the second page names the animal.) Little ones will be enthralled with the lushly colored, whimsical drawings that include clues to the riddles. On the page where the question is posed, there is a partial picture of the creature in question and a child moving like the animal and wearing clothes that reflects its color or markings. Parents will appreciate that the children represent a wide variety of ethnic groups and even include a girl in a wheelchair.
This story with a melody is sure to get children out of their chairs and doing a boogie. Its repetitive nature and detailed illustrations will have toddlers "reading" and repeating the story before too long. This adorable CD and book is bound to become a favorite with the younger set. Animal Boogie can be purchased at major bookstores, by calling (866) 417-2369 or online at www.barefootbooks.com. (Make sure you are buying the audio version; there is also a book-only option.)
THE JAMIE LEE CURTIS AUDIO COLLECTION, written and performed by Jamie Lee Curtis, music by David Nichtern, Harper Collins Publishers, 2002, $12 for audiocassette, 40 minutes; ages 4-7. Children and parents will love this collection of stories dealing with early childhood issues in a sensitive and humorous manner. All five of her books are included: When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old's Memoir of Her Youth; Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born; Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day; Where Do Balloons Go? An Uplifting Mystery and I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem. Curtis begins each story with a short personal introduction that makes children feel as if she is talking to them. To introduce Today I Feel Silly, she asks what makes them happy, has them smile with her and shares what brings her joy. The questions and comments help pique interest in these sincere tales.
These kid-friendly tales include numerous situations young children can relate to, such as feeling confused about the possibility of a new brother, wondering where a balloon goes, and even liking yourself when you make a mistake. Feelings of love and safety are echoed throughout the five stories. I especially liked Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born, a sensitive, loving story about adoption.
Curtis' reading of these stories sounds more like storytelling than narration. Her emotive, humorous style and distinct, energetic voice will make children feel like she is telling the story just for them. Nichtern's peaceful music helps to establish this recording's feel-good quality. These stories will definitely foster feelings of safety, self-esteem and curiosity.
The collection is available at major bookstores and online at www.Harperaudio.com.

This work is registered in the archives of the Calder Foundation, New York, under application number A21888.
Executed circa 1943, Untitled epitomizes the revolutionary aspect of Calder's invention. Its provenance also provides a fascinating insight into the artist's own personal life. Calder rebelled against readily-accepted notions of what art could and should be. This assemblage of wood and wire suggests a universe. The contrast between the wood and the wire in Untitled allows Calder to penetrate and explore notions of space and material in a more formal manner, questioning the very building blocks of sculpture and, indeed, of the universe. Untitled evokes some strange cosmological system, reflecting the artist's long-standing fascination with the Cosmos and its mysterious inner-workings. As Calder himself said, "the underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the Universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from" (A. Calder, quoted in C. Giménez & A.S.C. Rower, ed., Calder: Gravity and Grace, London, 2004, p. 52). Untitled, then, is the product of Calder's seemingly effortless capacity to balance the toy-like with the grand and universal.
It is a tribute to the importance of Untitled that the work was first in the collection of Mercedes and Herbert Matter. A hugely influential photographer and graphic designer, Herbert Matter revolutionized photography and graphic design in the 1940's and 50's. Born in Switzerland but spent much of his life in the United States, having studied in Paris under Fernand Léger. He subsequently enjoyed a career that involved teaching at Yale and working with Le Corbusier as well as the celebrated husband-and-wife designers Charles and Ray Eames. Calder's fast friend and frequent collaborator, Matter chronicled the artist, his works and his studio over a range of decades. Many of the most recognised photographs of Calder were taken by Matter; he was also responsible for the celebrated film The Works of Calder, made in two years in collaboration with Burgess Meredith. This captured many of Calder's works in color and, crucially, in motion; its music was a specially-created score by John Cage.

Clinton's speech
Yes, I watched and listened to all 48 minutes of former President Clinton's speech to the Democratic convention delegates and to much of the world watched on TV. He was superb and held the crowd in suspense for all that time. When the fact checkers get through with their analysis and point out where he may have stretched the truth, it may not be as impressive.
It is amazing to me that this man can stand in front of that group of people and be idolized for his oratory skill and appeal to the masses. One must remember that this is a man who, as the top enforcer of the law in our country, lied to a judge, under oath and in court, for which he lost his law license.
He also abused his authoritative position while president in taking advantage of an intern. He wagged his finger at the convention crowd much as he did to the investigators working on the sex case involving him. He wagged and pointed and said, "I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky," for which he was impeached. This is the man that the delegates idolize and hang on every word. He truly is The Comeback Kid. I'm sure that the delegates love him and believe every word he says. That is too bad as they are working under a misconception that he always tells the truth. I hope the rest of America can keep things in perspective!

Fretting over Biden
While reading my morning paper recently, I came across an article headlined "Bin Laden fretted about legacy." Apparently, among the materials found in Bin Laden's compound, intelligence officers discovered a letter to one of his lieutenants in which he speculated that "assassinating Obama would put a `totally unprepared' Vice President Joe Biden in charge of the country `which will lead the U.S. into crisis."'
Crisis? Crisis! What do you call what we've got now?
Everywhere we look there are crises, and, for every crisis, there is an Obama administration official pouring gasoline on the flames.
The smarter strategy for al-Qaida would be to pour oceans of oil money into the Obama/Biden re-election campaign. That could easily lead us from crisis to catastrophe and from catastrophe to collapse.

can I know what are the risk & side effects of herbal life products. Your word of reply is highly appreciable?
Not known for sure: Herbalife has many products, and since they are not medications approved by the fda, herbalife products are probably not tested for interactions and side effects like real medicines are.

The American Legion, quartered in a small room over a meat market, was one of his hangouts.

"Let us honor them and respect them by calling it the American Legion," he urged.
The American Legion was conceived by practically the entire personnel of the army, navy, and marine corps!
The largest organization of American veterans, open to those who participated in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and subsequent conflicts, such as America's war on terrorism. The American Legion has established an influential political position, gaining support in Congress and the federal executive branch for veterans' interests; its efforts contributed to the creation of the Veterans Administration, now the Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides medical services and other benefits to veterans and their families. Traditionally conservative, the American Legion promotes patriotism and a strong military defense. (See also Veterans of Foreign Wars.)

Reducing the appearance of a scar on the forehead
There are a number of techniques that can be utilized to improve scar formation and make it less apparent. These range from re-cutting the scar line in a Z-plasty or W-plasty, for instance, to laser treatments for diminishing the redness or the projection of the scar. Your best bet is to consult with a local plastic surgeon who can see your scar and more specifically address your concerns as well as help you figure out what treatment will give you the best results.

Ratings for Dr. Richard J. Haskell
Dr. Richard ..J. Haskell is great. Dad went there and so do I now.
I have seen Dr, Haskell for more than a dozen years. We exchange a few words when I see him each 6 mo. He has done cardioversion a couple times as needed. I'm happy with him. I'm in quickly, if I'm early I may well be in a room early and done early. Office seems to run smoothly from my standpoint. He has good wit.
Although Dr. Haskell may be an excellent surgeon, that is how he comes off in person. As a surgeon and nothing but that. He is not very approachable, and told me that women "worry" too much about their health. I found him very patronizing, and not only did he not answer my quesitons that I had, nor did he properly review my chart, but he took 2 weeks to get my results of an echo back when they were promised within the week. I still have questions that I have send to his office and have yet to hear from them. As a surgeon (I have no experience with him in this area) I am sure he is incredible - he seems like the exacting, cut em open and sew em up kind of guy - but as a caring doctor, he was a little cold for my taste. I just wish he took the time to tell me more about my condition - and that he would listen more.
Haskell took me on as a heart patient four days after I had a pacemaker implant by another docotor/hospital. He is direct, has a great sense of humour, and knowledgeable. WIll not prescribe (RX or tests) unless absolutely necessary. He is flexible and will work with the patient. Has a busy office and large group practice but I have never had to wait more than ten minutes at an office visit (multiple visits over the years). Office staff attentive to details, easy RX refill authorizations.
Dr Haskell became my cardiologist when I was heading for multiple heart valve surgery. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and very approachable (many doctors are not!). His sense of humor before and after surgery was very calming. Dr Haskell's no-BS way of dealing with me and my post-op recovery was just the approach I needed. I hope that he'll always be my cardiologist.
Dr. Haskell is a outstanding physician. I have diabetes and a low EF from a heart attack. Dr. Haskell has been able to maxmize my hearts performance through the best therapy available. I'm a 14 year survivor and feel that my doctor has given me top treatment. All my test numbers have been almost perfect for 14 years. The doctor does take into account my total health condition and other medicl problems.
Dr. does not take in to account your total health condition or other medical problems that contribute to heart disease ie diabetes, stress hypertension etc. On a report miss stated & obmitted meds and quanities inaccurate. Refused to correct when told of error. Several medical tests that are not done at his office came back abnormal he discounts results suggesting to ignore results stating Doctor who did tests was poorly trained. When medical records were orginally transferred to him as a new patient he stated that he never recieved expensive medical test results ie CT scan with contrast for kidney function. Very poor bedside manor. Has a tenancy to overbook appointments. If you are looking for someone who wants to provide good service and really concerned about you this is not the doctor he is motivated by money. NOTE: States as one of the best doctors in Orange County by the Orange County Magnizine which I believe is paid by and for his own benefit as a form of advertisement.

The Kingdom of Morocco is truly at the crossroads of the world. For thousands of years, its location at the northwest tip of Africa has allowed it to absorb elements of European, Sub-Saharan African, and Arab culture in its quest for identity. As a result, its culture, history, religion, art and politics is a melange that gives it a uniqueness among nations.
This program will provide an opportunity for students of all ages to study Moroccan art, archaeology, architecture, and culture.

We found the entire Morocco tour very well planned and executed. We simply loved our guide Hassan. His English was excellent, he was extremely knowledgeable and very willing to share his knowledge and generously answered all of our questions. Quite simply, he was excellent in every way and made our visit to this fascinating country a vastly richer experience. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

E3 Preview: The Elder Scrolls Online

You speak the truth and obviously have sense. That is why we must kill you and remove your heretical ideas from public viewing. Repeat after me; MUST COPY WORLD OF WARCRAFT. MUST COPY WORLD OF WARCRAFT. COPYING WORLD OF WARCRAFT EQUATES TO SUCCESS.
They're not keeping the combat mechanics. Apparently it's too difficult, plus they have stated that they don't want to "Alienate" normal MMO fans. The set up sounds very much like what WoW does right now.
And Steve, when are you going to get around to sorting out your errors? It's ZENIMAX ONLINE making this game, not Bethesda. That's like saying Bethesda made New Vegas and not Obsidian.
Well, so much for me buying that game...
They said that they're trying to raise the MMO bar for combat though by having it be semi real-time and semi round based. Like, for instance, you can block, dodge, and evade attacks in real time, and stun other players and stuff because of the stamina bar, which is something I've never seen in any MMO I've played.
Still, I'm skeptical until I see some actual gameplay. Until then, I'm cautiously optimistic and interested.

Beginner from Brazil
My name is Diego and I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I'm a beginner in flyfishing and searching in the INTERNET I arrived in the NAFFF.
So I hope learn and contribute with the North Americans flyfishers.
Here in Brazil my experience with fly is Matrinxã Fishing. This is a very sportive freshwater fish.
In Brazil the flyfishing along the years has earned many practitioners but the literature is little.
Then I stay here.
Hugs for all!
Re: Beginner from Brazil
Diego, welcome! :welcomean I spent a lot of time in Rio on business (& plenty of time after hours having a good time). Great city and people! Cariocas may be the friendliest most-personable people in the world (& I've been most places).
I don't know much about warm-water fly-fishing, but there are plenty of people on this Forum who do, so I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about.
Re: Beginner from Brazil
Thanks a lot for your words.
Read good words about our place and people is very good.
Here in Brazil we have many options for the fly fishing. Warm water, cold water and the species are very varied.
In North America, I dream to fishing in the Great Lakes. The picture about this place is very beautiful to me. Those rivers with stones hidden in the forest means I send a lot of peace. Great, Great!
Hugs to you body!

"It was interesting to see some of the non-traditional ideas entered," said Joanne Kim of Marcus Thomas in Cleveland, Ohio. "Agencies seem to be trying to reach consumers in new places, but I wonder how much of that will turn the consumer off, or worse, make them more numb."
"It was great to see, firsthand, the intelligent rule-breaking from agencies like Crispin Porter + Bogusky," said Mary Knight from FCB, Seattle, Washington. "We can all learn a lot about their willingness to do what has not been done, all while being perfectly appropriate to the brand idea."
Of course, once a trend is identified it doesn't take long for the backlash to begin. "Everyone's rushing to imitate the media freshness of the first MINI campaign, but the results are blatant gimmickry," said Greg Bell of Venables, Bell & Partners in San Francisco, California. "Clever media doesn't equal good ideas."
Shari Hindman of Siddall, Inc. in Richmond, Virginia, was disappointed with the self-consciousness of some of the entries. "People feel like they have to try so hard to get noticed in the shows instead of just doing good solid advertising. It's like wanting to be Pamela Anderson when you can get as much (better) attention being Audrey Hepburn."
When asked about the future, Andrew Keller of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Miami, Florida, warned against the growing interest in product placement. "We are letting in a Trojan horse. We think it makes us look smart to our clients and our consumers. But it won't work and, by the time we figure it out, all the clients will be gone."
"Many agencies will begin a slow evolution away from advertising as a service industry and into a creation industry." —Andrew Keller
"Broadcasting is dead. Welcome to narrowcasting," said G. Andrew Meyer of Leo Burnett, Chicago, Illinois. "It won't be long before there is very little distinction between television and the Internet. People will no longer have to accept having dull work foisted upon them en masse, because it's so easy to opt out when you're able to choose content as you see fit."
While more and more agencies are realizing that they may need to think beyond traditional paid media in order to create effective advertising, they have yet to figure out how to charge for services. "Unfortunately, the whole business of advertising compensation is based on a 100-year-old model of media sales commissions," said Jon Gothold of DGWB Advertising in Santa Ana, California. "The most valuable property that we create is strategic thinking, but it's going to be difficult to retrain clients on how to properly value what it is we do."
As in previous years, we employed a two-step jurying system, screening and finals. However, since adding a multiple-media campaign category, the judges screened the radio commercials and banner ads in their own offices prior to arriving in Menlo Park.
In our office, they worked in teams of three, screening a third of the television, print and slide entries in one of three halls equipped with broadcast equipment and six rows of tables for print. Print entries were spread out on the tables by category and each juror reviewed the entries independently. Any juror could put an entry into the next round by handing it to a member of our staff. Television, multiple-media campaigns and slide entries were screened by checking an "in" or "out" box on prepared scoring sheets.
"The holy grail of advertising these days: to get someone to say to a friend, 'Did you see this?'" —Joanne Kim
After all the entries were screened, we combined the selections from the three teams for finals. During the finals, all nine judges worked as a single team. In one hall, print entries were spread out on tables by category. Two paper cups, one white and one red, with slots cut in the bottom, were placed upside down to the right of each entry, white cups for "in" votes, red cups for "out." Each juror voted by placing a different colored ceramic tile into the appropriate cup. A check of the tile colors ensured that every judge voted on every single piece.
After all the jurors were finished voting on the print setup, they moved to the other hall for a final session of TV, slides or multiple-media campaigns. Web banner finals were judged in another location in our offices. Radio finals were judged in the rear atrium of our building. Again voting was done by each juror checking the "in" or "out" column on the scoring sheets.
Judges were not permitted to vote on projects they were directly involved in. When a judge's piece was in the finals, either Jean Coyne or I would cast the ninth vote.
I would like to extend our grateful appreciation to our jurors for their conscientious efforts in selecting our 45th annual exhibition. —Patrick Coyne ca

vice president/associate creative director
Crispin Porter + Bogusky
Andrew Keller is vice president/associate creative director of Miami-based Crispin Porter + Bogusky. In kindergarten, when asked to draw a picture of what he wanted to be, Keller drew a garbage man. He liked the idea of hanging off the back of a moving truck. Tests revealed he should be a flight attendant, a priest or an advertising executive. He was an English major, became an art director and is now a creative director. "I love to disrupt…to tap into the collective unconsciousness, predict behavior and then mess with people." He launched MINI with 100 or so of the most talented and dedicated people you'd ever want to meet. He is also creative director for the Virgin Atlantic and Burger King accounts. Andrew likes to say, "The more advertising is like rock 'n' roll, the more I like it. And right now, it's a lot like rock 'n' roll."

Other "enthusiast" accounts would follow, like Harley-Davidson, Porsche, Gibson Guitars, and the agency has grown and expanded its account list to include Northwest Airlines, A.G. Edwards and American Standard.
Co-creative director
As co-creative director of Wieden+Kennedy New York, Todd Waterbury oversees the office's accounts that include ESPN, Nike, Brand Jordan, U.S. Trust, Gore-Tex and Sharp.

His interests in design, architecture and film found a voice on a larger stage, furthering his view that there is life for brands beyond 30 seconds and single pages. In addition to recognition from advertising and design shows, Todd's work is part of the permanent collections of New York's Guggenheim, London's Victoria & Albert Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Volume 11, Issue 5: Musica
Duck Shuler
When musicians think about great church music, the qualifier "reformed" is not usually the first that comes to mind. More than likely they may think about the Lutheran chorale, or the Anglican anthem, or even the great Renaissance polyphony that adorned the motets1 and the ordinary2 of the Roman Catholic Mass. But reformed? Hardly. This is mostly the case because of reformed Christians' mistaken understanding of Calvin's theology of music. Often falsely cited as disdaining music, Calvin desired that music, in particular the Psalms, should have a major role in the liturgy of the church. To that end, he directed the assembling of perhaps the greatest single hymnal or psalter ever published in modern church history.
To Our Readers:
To the melody of the psalms we have, in this little volume, adapted three parts, not to induce you to sing them in Church, but that you may rejoice in God, particularly in your homes. This should not be found an ill thing, the more so since the melody used in Church is left in its entirety, just as though it were alone.
