The Multimedia over Coax Alliance has completed MoCA 2.0 field tests in the US. Tests demonstrated better than 400 Mbps net data rates in 90 per cent of all coaxial outlets, or paths. Net throughputs were greater than 350 Mbps for 95 per cent of paths.
Results are based on 205 homes tested throughout the US.
"The completion of the MoCA 2.0 field tests confirms the speed, ease of installation and reliability of our technology," said Charles Cerino, MoCA President. "This proves that coax is the high-speed backbone of the home network."

PUNTA GORDA, FL. - Detectives have arrested a Punta Gorda man after he hit a man in the head with a baseball bat 3 times.
37-year-old Joshua William Matzen is charged with Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Violation of Probation (VOP).
The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office received a call at 12:29 a.m. on Saturday in reference a 22-year-old man beaten with a baseball bat in the area of Clara Drive and Acorn Boulevard in the Charlotte Ranchettes subdivision. The caller said there was a party in the area and the victim was face down on the ground.
Three witnesses said the suspect left in a white Chevrolet pickup and identified the driver as Matzen. Before deputies arrived, the victim was transported to Charlotte Regional Medical Center by a friend in his personal vehicle.
The victim was treated for three skull fractures to the head and received 30 stitches and staples for two open fractures; he was then transported to Lee Memorial Hospital Trauma Center due to bleeding and swelling to the brain.
Deputies located the pickup at Bermont Road and Sunset Boulevard and made a traffic stop. The driver, Matzen, had two passengers with him; the passengers were later released after questioning. Matzen said he did not hit the victim. He first said he tossed the bat out the window of his pickup, and then later said he never touched the bat.
Matzen was transported to the Charlotte County Jail where he remains on no bond for the Violation of Probation, and $30,000 bond on the Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon charge. Matzen is a convicted felon with 12 bookings.

AMSOIL SUPER TEAM DRIVER SWEEPS PRO-4, WINS BORG-WARNER CUP Douglas Owns Crandon Crandon, Wis. ~ It's been nearly a decade since AMSOIL/KUMHO Super Team member Scott Douglas has won a Pro-4 race at the famed Crandon International Raceway in...
Douglas Owns Crandon
Crandon, Wis. ~ It's been nearly a decade since AMSOIL/KUMHO Super Team member Scott Douglas has won a Pro-4 race at the famed Crandon International Raceway in Crandon, Wis., but the 10-time world champion returned to the winner's circle in a big way on Labor Day weekend.
Douglas, who joined the Super Team this past winter, destroyed the competition in the four-wheel driver Pro-4 class on Saturday, winning a World Championship ring in the process. The El Cajun, Calif. driver backed up his impressive win with a weekend sweep of the class on Sunday. Then, to prove to the world that he is still one of the top drivers in off-road racing, Douglas won the prestigious Borg-Warner Shootout, the sport's biggest race.
"It's nice to be back on top and this is a powerful win and statement by our team", said Douglas. "It has taken plenty of hard work by my crew and sponsors and they need to share in this win. We couldn't be happier to be representing AMSOIL with such a great product. We were running some high engine temps on Saturday and its unbelievable how much that oil saved me."
Douglas also continued his dominance in the Pro-2 class at Crandon. With more than 40,000 people lining the hillside at the "Super Bowl" of off-road truck racing, Douglas took a third place finish on Saturday and a second on Sunday. No other driver has ever been as dominant as the AMSOIL driver was this past weekend.
"This is going to take a few days to sink in," said Jeremy Meyer, race coordinator for AMSOIL. "Scott put AMSOIL at the top of the off-road racing world this past weekend. He has been a great representative for AMSOIL, and what he did this weekend was unprecedented."
Douglas, who has won three of the past four sanctioned Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) events, now moves into sole possession of third place in the series points race. Douglas is only 19 points behind leader Johnny Greaves with only four races left. The championship battle will continue September 23-24 in Chula Vista, Calif.

X Factor Winner
December 22, 2011 by staff
X Factor Winner, Simon Cowell's FOX singing contest series "The X Factor" is set to reveal its first winner on Thursday, December 22. Wednesday's episode featured the top three finalists – Chris Rene, Melanie Amaro and Josh Krajcik – singing two songs each: A duet with a popular artist and a track they have sung on the show before.
Krajcik, a 30-year-old Ohio rocker and former burrito maker, earned praise from the judges with his duet of "Uninvited" with Alanis Morissette. Cowell added that he thought Krajcik was intimidated by the singer. He also sang Etta James' song "At Last," which he had performed during his first televised audition for "The X Factor."
Rene and pop star Avril Lavigne sang her hit single "Complicated." Rene, a 28-year-old Santa Cruz hip hop singer whose history of substance addiction and recovery has often been highlighted on the show, also performed "Young Homie," an original tune he sang at his own first on-air "X Factor" audition. Cowell called the latter track Rene's "$5 million song," referring to the prize set to be given to the winner.
During Wednesday's show, Amaro, a Florida soul and ballad singer, sang "I Believe I Can Fly" with R. Kelly, who scored a hit with the song in 1996. Co-judge L.A. Reid said the track was "one of the most important songs of the last 50 years," but that he thought Amaro was overshadowed by the male singer during her performance.
Amaro, 19, also performed a cover of Beyonce's track "Listen," which Reid called a "$50 million performance." Cowell, who mentored Amaro during the course of the season, declared that she should win "The X Factor."

Hi! Today I have another scrapbook layout that features March 2013 Main Kit from 3 Scrappy Boys. This kit is filled with the beautiful collection from Jenni Bowlin "Modern Mercantile", a complete roll of Maya Road fabric tape, Basic Grey metal caps, American Craft "Sketchbook" alphabet thickers among so many other beautiful and versatile embellishments.
Here is the second of three layouts I had already created with the kit:
I love the feeling and colors of Modern Mercatile so much. So warm and fresh that I could not avoid to use it for our photos from our last trip to New York.
The only parts used that are not part of the kit are SU! craft whisper white ink and Ranger Stickles in Lime Green that were applied to Maya Road chipboad camera and the white cardstock used to mat the photo.
Some close-ups:
During Summer we went to New York just before returning to Puerto Rico. One of the day trips to New York was the visit to Madame Tussauds New York Museum. We had a lot of fun over there, even though we found this museum to be extremely expensive. One time is just enough.
Thanks for stopping by!

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Dow finished with a triple-digit loss Thursday as a stronger dollar pressured equities and commodities in the afternoon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 133 points, or 1.3%, to 10,308. The S&P 500 slid 13 points, or 1.2%, to 1096 and the Nasdaq was off by 27 points, or 1.2%, at 2180. Though tech stocks struggled Thursday, a cadre of sector players reported earnings after hours that will set the stage for Friday's session. Leading the charge is Research in Motion ( RIMM), as shares jumped more than 12% in extended-hours trading. The BlackBerry maker fended off increasing smartphone competition from the likes of Apple ( AAPL) and Motorola ( MOT) during the third-quarter, blowing past estimates with a
41% boost to its top-line and a profit of $1.10 a share. > >Five Mid-Cap Stocks for 2010 But market observers turned sour on fellow smartphone maker Palm ( PALM), despite a narrowing loss. The company reported an adjusted loss of 37 cents a share in the second-quarter. Shares slipped more than 2% after the company missed forecasts. Oracle ( ORCL) shares went 3.6% higher in after-hours trading, as the software maker reported earnings of 39 cents a share after the closing bell, beating the 36-cent consensus. Elsewhere, Nike ( NKE) shares climbed over 3% in after-hours trading after the sports apparel maker said future orders rose 4%. Second-quarter profit dipped less than forecast, while revenue met expectations. As stocks dipped on Thursday, the market clearly took its cue from dollar moves, according to one analyst. The dollar index was last up 0.8% at 77.73 and near a new session high of 77.94.

Metallica, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails + More Covered in Valentine's Day '20 Styles' Mashup
From the incredibly gifted singer behind the 'Ten Second Songs' channel, here's '20 Love Songs in 20 Styles' to get you in the mood for Valentine's Day.
From the incredibly gifted singer behind the 'Ten Second Songs' channel, here's '20 Love Songs in 20 Styles' to get you in the mood for Valentine's Day.
No, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Taylor Swift did not collaborate on a song, but they did have their music mashed up. Check it out.
Ultimately, the collective votes cast by yourselves (and us) affect roughly 1/600 of the process, if anything at all.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross received a Golden Globe nomination Thursday for their scoring work on the David Fincher film, 'Gone Girl.'
Amongst the nominees for the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction are Green Day, Nine Inch Nails and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.
Watch as this toddler goes from bawling to rocking thanks to a simple needle drop of Nine Inch Nails' 'Copy of A.'
"Bow down before the one you serve / You're going to get what you deserve." That line became famous thanks to an angst-ridden youngster named Trent Reznor and his band Nine Inch Nails. But a lot has changed for Reznor over the years and he reflected on how his music and perspective has shifted with age in a new interview with The Daily Record.
We know that you can't travel to every corner of the map to see your favorite acts play, but Nine Inch Nails tend to make it easier than most acts when it comes to catching some of their standout performances. This rings true again as pro-shot concert footage from both their Lollapalooza show in Brazil and Argentina have hit the Internet.
Looks like Nine Inch Nails will be at "home with the armadillo" this weekend as the band will make a rare concert TV performance on the long-running PBS series, 'Austin City Limits.' In advance of the airing, the band has unveiled a teaser via Rolling Stone in the form of their performance of 'Sanctified' for the show.
Back in January, the hilarious parody song 'This Is a Trent Reznor Song' was released by Freddy Scott. He channels Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor in a spot on performance.

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy is loaded once again. One of their key cogs offensively will be running back Tony Jones. He transferred to the boarding school from St. Petersburg Catholic a few months ago.
"The transition has been nice," Jones said. "The school work is definitely different than my old high school. It's more of a college set up. That took some getting used to. The training is also different. The training is really good here."
One of the allures to IMG is playing for Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke. Here, Weinke and his staff run an NFL offense.
"Coach Weinke is such a nice guy," Jones said. "He's so mart. He's not much of a rah, rah guy. He's not a guy that's always going to be yelling. But he's so smart with the game of football. And I love the offense he has. It's an NFL playbook so I know I'll have the upper hand in college."
Jones, 6-foot-0, 217-pounds, is a two sport star. He plays everywhere in the outfield and hit .360 in his first baseball season at IMG while playing a demanding baseball schedule. He started off batting ninth and worked his way up to No. 3 in the lineup over the course of the season.
Some believe that his future does lie in baseball. Others think it will be football. This is a big and powerful built north-south running back prospect with game breaking speed. Jones has power to run through people, good hands and he can be a huge asset in the passing game.
Jones ended up starting as a freshman at St. Petersburg Catholic. He was Ryan Green's (Florida State) backup but then Green got hurt just before the regular season started and missed the entire season. Jones rushed for over 1,000 yards that year and 1,500 last season.
Right now, Jones has scholarship offers from Cincinnati and South Florida. He's also getting strong interest from teams like Florida, Louisville, Wake Forest, FAMU, Syracuse, South Carolina and other. Last summer he camped at Miami. This summer Jones will camp with the Gators (June 8th) before going on the Unsigned Preps bus tour, which will hit schools like Georgia, South Carolina, Clemson, and a handful of others.
"We are hoping to catch Florida State sometime in July," said Tony Jones, Sr., his father. "That way we will have seen each team here over the past year. I know [Florida] coach [Brian] White really wants him to get up to their camp on the 8th."
While the first half of next month is packed with visiting schools and hitting some college camps, the remainder of the summer for Jones will consist of baseball and working out.
There's no question that Jones will be one of the most sought after running back recruits from the Sunshine State in the next class. This kid can do it all and should be a big weapon for Weinke this fall and beyond.

Angela's Profile
I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. My journey as an artist began at a very early age when my Mother showed my sister and I how to dig clay out of a hill on our Grand parent's farm, mold it and bake it in the sun. Little did we know that child's play would turn into a lifetime of creativity.
Our Mother always made sure we were learning how to create something Out of that came my first business making and selling potholders. I went door-to-door selling potholders for $1 to finance my Barbie doll collection.
During my school years, I was more into drawing than working with my hands. There were lots of cut classes spent in the Art room. I ended up with a One Man Show and an Art competition, where I won 3rd place.
In college, my major was Art. It was like a full circle moment because my favorite…

SF's Pyramid Defies Expectations
King cites the numerous complaints about the towers design when it was proposed 40 years ago:
"Progressive Architecture rolled out a string of adjectives: "insensitive, inappropriate, incongruous." Newsweek bemoaned a tower that would be "wrong in any city" but "particularly wrong in ... easily wounded San Francisco."
None of the slings dislodged the support of the player who mattered most, Mayor Alioto. Not only did he back Transamerica because of the jobs that would be created, he very publicly touted the unorthodox design."

A refusal by the leading anti-corruption prosecutor, Antonio Di Pietro, to take the powerful Interior Ministry portfolio deflated hopes that Mr Berlusconi might hand a list of ministers to President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro today.
The delay is likely to embarrass Mr Berlusconi, whose slow progress in putting together a government drew criticism from the outgoing and now caretaker prime minister, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi.
Umberto Bossi, the federalist Northern League leader, had insisted that their candidate be the interior minister because that ministry controls local authorities.
Faced with Mr Berlusconi's refusal to hand over the interior min istry, which also runs the police and secret service, the League reluctantly agreed to Mr Di Pietro, who has become a national hero because of his role in the Mani Pulite (Clean Hands) investigations. But Mr Di Pietro turned the job down.
Francesco Speroni, the League's leader in the Senate, voiced his discontent on television: 'Berlusconi wants to play the magician. Now let him pull a rabbit out of the hat.'

text: Politics 15 January 1999 If you find it hard to stop smoking, just think of British American Tobacco's enormous profits Sign up for our weekly email * The Margaret Cook reminiscences are not the only noxious substance to pollute the Foreign Office air. In the wake of the £13 billion merger between British American Tobacco and Rothmans International, the Independent reported that the FO is doing its bit to boost cigarette sales to the third world. Despite front-page prominence, this story is almost as stale as old ashtrays. In December, the Department of Health white paper on smoking registered a boom in UK exports and noted: "We are not in the business of banning the production or export of tobacco products." Thus, embassies and high commissions would continue to proffer support and advice to companies. The only significant change, under guidelines that are now being devised by Foreign Office ethicists, will be an instruction to diplomatic staff that they should sidestep advertising or promotion. Since the sales and marketing arms of tobacco multinationals do not usually invite third secretaries to distribute free smokes at sponsored Tunisian camel derbies, this amounts to no discernible alteration. Whatever the guidelines say, the reality is that cigarette manufacturers will get the blessing and help of a government anxious to protect exports. On the face of it, the guidance revision is merely another offering from the Ministry of Footling Changes - an amendment of the same ilk as this week's childcare kitemarks, bestowed on agencies whose quest for excellence runs to bothering to interview the nannies they supply. But the smoking issue is more disturbing. The merger of the two tobacco giants - welcomed by the City, for whom cash naturally trumps ethics - created a global corporation set to produce 900 billion cigarettes a year and flood them into the developing world as the western market shrinks. Back home, Frank Dobson is spending £100 million on smoking prevention, as outlined in a white paper thin enough, in parts, to be mistaken for a Rizla paper. What use, for instance, is a smoke level rating on the window of a restaurant whose clientele might switch between the human variant of laboratory beagles and the Batley Temperance Guild? Other sections reeked of sharpish practice: an advertising ban exemption for Formula One racing until 2006 (as agreed with B Ecclestone) and a week's free nicotine patches for the poor (as supplied by a company with a history of government sponsorship). Tentative as he was, Dobson's target is to cut the number of smokers by 1.5 million in the next decade. That means 750,000 fewer cigarette-induced deaths; a toll destined to be passed directly on to the developing world. For a government in thrall to big business it is no easier to stamp on a boom industry than it is to decline to bomb Khartoum or Iraq at Clinton's behest. Ethics, as bolted on to foreign policy, are almost always deemed impolitic or unaffordable or both. Even so, there is something particularly vile about the sanctimony directed at British addicts and the sanguinity over developing a virgin market of Chinese children, of whom 60 per cent regard smoking as no more linked to lung cancer than to ingrowing toenails. The only salvation for such potential victims lies in the government's likely shortfall on its domestic targets - the result of an over-squeamish strategy far short of a Californian- or Canadian-style veto. There, cigarettes are allowed only in bars, from which minors under 19 are banished. If, like me, you are in possession of a smoking habit and two adolescent children, it is possible, verging on obligatory, to get through a week's holiday, nicotine-free and high on virtue and nanny statism. Being forced to stop smoking may not be the libertarian's dream. It is, however, better than being forced to start. Behind this week's marvelling over the City's new glamour-tobacco stock stand strings of backstreet discos, from Tunisia to the Ivory Coast, offering free cigarettes to teenagers. And behind them are the helping hands of the Foreign Office; unstained, in its account, by any taint of nicotine. I think I might finally be revolted enough to quit. There is no easy way, but I have reserved a photo of Johann Rupert, whose family holds a 35 per cent stake in BAT. Pictured post-merger with a lungful of smoke and a wallet full of cash, Rupert offers an image useful to even the most dedicated smoker. Visual Nicorette.

Northwestern Oklahoma State University's Office of Service Learning and Civic Engagement played host to the second Alva Beautification Day on Thursday, Oct. 29.
Five students – Nepal freshmen Puja Shrestha, Nashreen Lohani, Sandeep Bhattarai; Hydro freshman Corey Shirey; and Edmond senior Jordan Evans – joined Service Learning Coordinator Theresa Lemke and Dean of the School of Professional Studies Dr. Bo Hannaford in painting crosswalks located by Alva Middle School and Longfellow Elementary School.
The City of Alva donated the paint and supplies to complete the project.
"Today's event was a success because of our students volunteering their time and the City of Alva providing supplies," Lemke said. "We appreciate everyone who pitched in. We hope to do another paint day within the next few weeks and are excited to continue giving back to Alva with a service project every semester. "
Dr. Bo Hannaford volunteered with students to repaint crosswalks by two local schools.
Although this particular service project was mainly for students, Lemke said they hope to expand to community involvement as well.
Anyone interested in joining the next service project can contact Lemke by email at email@example.com or by phone at 580-327-8134.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Hidden Guard was a secretive elite group of Seppun Shugenja who defended the Emperor from spiritual dangers. [1] They were noted for their grim demeanor and terrible sense of humor. [2]
Duties Edit
They were responsible for the wards of protection in the Imperial Palace, to visit a home before the Emperor arrived and see that it had been cleared of evil spirits or other threats, and to see the Emperor's soul safely to Yomi when he died. Sometimes one of its members sacrificed his life after the death of the Emperor so he could oversee the journey personally. [2]
History Edit
Beginnings Edit
Kichi, the youngest son of Seppun, set out to find the wisest holy men and shugenja. The knowledge he gained became the basis of the Seppun Hidden Guard. [3]
Scorpion Coup Edit
During the Scorpion Coup, Soshi Bantaro's students wiped out many members of the Hidden Guard early on during the Coup. Those who remained were elderly retirees, recent graduates, and those unskilled or incompetent enough to earn duties outside of Otosan Uchi. [2]
Return of Fu Leng Edit
In 1128 the possessed Emperor Hantei XXXIX was under the will of Fu Leng. When the invading Kisada's forces stormed the Imperial City the Hidden Guard have already been murdered by the Hantei. [4]
Reign of Toturi III Edit
The leader of this group was called the Master of the Hidden Guard. The most recent person to hold this honored title was Seppun Toshiaki. [5]
Reign of Iweko I Edit
The Hidden Guard continued to exist and perform its duties for Iweko I during her first Winter Court. [6]

I throughly enjoy searching through the market wards in the first section for hours. Man, that gets my engine pumping. Why cant people realize that all your ******** and revolting against this system isn't doing anything. The Market System is 100 times better than launch and easy as **** to use and people still aren't using them correctly. How hard is it to organize your god **** retainer in the correct sections? They even added an extra one so you can have 2 set up in different wards if your selling different items.
So can anyone tell me why the **** isn't anyone using the Market Wards as they were intended? Is everyone just an idiot? Or is it just that hard?
Thanks ahead of time for your response.

I really do agree that with Falcon in our hands we'll be much more flexible, the runtime dependencies will then be something that the community itself can tackle. I totally respect HaXe for what it is, and I think the guys making it are pretty brilliant, but its still no reason to drop actionscript IMHO. Maybe we'll even be lucky and these guys will contribute some of their time on Falcon, I hope it tickles their interest :) Roland

My sister, Mary Pat, is the born baker in the family. She has a sweet tooth that she has polished into a fine baking skill. Everything she makes is delicious, but she is famous for her rugelach.
As is common with rugelach, the recipe is passed down from family baker to family baker. This recipe originally came from our cousin Vera, but my sister has lovingly tweaked it to make it her own. It is made with sour cream instead of cream cheese, making the pastry lighter and flakier than most rugelach.
Start to finish: 45 minutes
Makes 24 bars
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
12-ounce jar apricot preserves
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper.

You can keep your decorated, stained glass, death-by-chocolate, triple-dunked biscotti bombs, or whatever this holiday season's must-bake cookie will be.
Any time of year — and especially this time of year — I'll take the delicious simplicity and vanilla-ness (no, probably not a real word) of a chewy, soft and sweet snickerdoodle over just about any fancy, overwrought confection. Even better is to pair that simple, underappreciated cookie with the most perfect of holiday beverages — eggnog.

Discharge by performance
When the parties to a contract fulfill their obligations arising out of the contract within the time and in the manner prescribed, the contract is said to be discharged by performance. If only one party performs his obligation, he alone is discharged, though he gets the right of action against the other party who is guilty of breach.
Performance may be of two types: actual performance and attempted performance.
Actual performance
Actual performance is when each party fulfils his obligations exactly in the same manner in which it was intended in the contract. This brings the contract to an end. After this, no claim would remain of one party against another.
A contracts with B to buy 100 bags of sugar for a sum of ₹ 50,000 and delivery to made on 2nd August. The price is to be paid on delivery. On 2nd of August B delivers 100 bags of sugar and A pays the price.
By attempted performance or tender
When one of the parties to the contract has done what he was bound to do under the contract at proper time and place but the other party does not accepts the performance. A contract is said to be discharged by attempted performance, when the promisor has made an offer of performance (i.e. a valid tender) to the promisee but it has not been accepted by the promisee. The offer of performance has the same effect as the performance and the promisor stands discharged of his obligation.
Ram offers to sell his computer to Lakshman for ₹ 15000 and Lakshman agrees to purchase the same and the delivery of the computer is to made on 2nd June. In this case when ram is ready to deliver the computer on 2nd June but Lakshman does not accept the delivery then it is called attempted performance and it discharges Ram from his obligation.

A Televator is a tele-transporation portal/elevator that is widely used on the new 40 000 feet height buildings.
Technical problems and accidents
When a person uses it, its body is totally destroyed by a gamma ray device, and it is reconstructed in the destination's televator. The data about body of this person is sent using a dynamic IP-based protocol.
Anyway, an ever-present problem is the fact of the original person could have dead, and the new one would be just a clon/copy. Indeed, given there is not method to transport its "soul" or any "spiritual thingy", the original person does not exist anymore. More over, reconstructed persons would be soulless zombies.
Common accidents:
- A failed communication protocol would lead to the generation of TWO equal persons on different televators.
- If the electrical service is suddenly broken, half-person would have been already transported, leading to a very disgusting death.
- A short electrical service's shutdown would lead to the no-transportation of some entrails, leading to a very disgusting sickness and/or death.
- If destination's televator service fails, people would be being sent to their doom as they enter into the televators and their bodies are never reconstructed.
Thus only persons who hate themselves use those machines.

Bengals WR A.J. Green has an iPhone 6 already
While many Apple fanatics have been lined up for hours or even days to get their hands on the iPhone 6, Cincinnati Bengals receiver A.J. Green already has the highly sought after phone.
• Devin Hester, Deion Sanders share tearful moment
green looks upbeat and why not? He's got an I phone 6 already— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) September 19, 2014
All models of the iPhone 6 went on sale on Friday morning, but considering Green is pulling in over $3 million in salary this season it seems more likely he paid a premium for someone else to get the phone for him, rather than sleep in a chair just to have one a few hours before everyone else.
Let's hope he is more careful with it than this guy.

Stolen school bus recovered in Warren
By Brian Louwers
Posted January 23, 2014
A 25-year-old man was arrested Jan. 22 after he allegedly stole a school bus in Detroit and was involved in a morning hit-and-run accident on the freeway as he drove to an apartment complex near Martin and Hoover.
According to Detective Sgt. Stephen Mills of the Warren Police Department, patrol officers took the man into custody after a woman saw him exit a bus and recognized him as her neighbor. Mills said Michigan State Police were now handling the case.
MSP troopers were reportedly dispatched earlier in the morning to the scene of a hit-and-run crash on southbound I-75 near Warren Avenue in Detroit. Another driver reportedly told police the bus struck his vehicle and was able to provide its license plate information.
According to a media release issued by Lt. Michael Shaw, public information officer for the MSP's Second District, the charter bus was identified as operated by Safeway Transportation Co. The bus was reported stolen at 5:30 a.m. Jan. 22 from a vehicle yard in Detroit. The driver reportedly started the bus to warm the engine and left it running and unattended. The release stated the bus was gone when the driver returned.
The bus was fitted with a GPS locator and police eventually tracked it to the apartment complex.
The investigation remained ongoing but police said the suspect, a Warren resident, apparently suffered from mental illness. He was reportedly transported to Detroit Receiving Hospital for medical attention.
The MSP issued an advisory reminding the public to use caution while warming vehicles in cold weather conditions.
"Criminals will travel through neighborhoods and shopping centers looking for unattended, unlocked running vehicles in an attempt to steal them," the MSP release stated.

Paper Rights!
Author : Mrs. Hilda Raja
It looks like we are being overburdened with 'RIGHTS' which are more in paper than in reality. Take for example the right to life which means provision of food-water and other survival inputs. The same government which conferred on us this right has clearly abdicated its role as the provider. It is impossible to feed 1.15 billion people asserted our Finance Minister. Then may I ask Mr Pranab Mukherjee to withdraw that Right to life. Right to life also encompasses personal safety and security which again the GOI has failed miserably. Right to education – is another right which is observed more in its breach than in observance – when one sees child labor rampant and children out of school then one wonders what this right is all about. This is not to fully blame the government but just to bring to focus the fact that this government is a paper government-why is it so keen on conferring paper Rights which cannot be implemented these are just two examples in the long list of Rights.
Now the latest is the statement of the Minister for Law that soon we will be burdened with another Right-that is .Sounds good but let's pause to incisively look into the justice which is going to be our Right. Should Justice be a Right-is Justice not by itself a guarantee that it is for all? Should there be Convocation of the people of India in which this Right will be conferred? And will be another Right on the list of the UPA to go for vote catching. Now what is the quality of justice that is being made a right? Is it the Justice which Ruchika was given, is it the Justice that evaded Aarushi. What is the Right to Justice that Veerappa Moily has in mind? Justice varies from courts to courts. Sentences pronounced in the lower courts are quashed at the Higher courts and those of the High courts in the Supreme Courts.
If Courts really are attuned to dispense Justice then why transfer of cases from one State to another-should not Courts in all the States dispense justice. What about the justice which the Courts have already dispensed with-say the sentences which it has pronounced why are these not executed? Afzal Guru's case is a typical example. Should this nation not have Justice? Should it be burdened by having to spend crores of its hard-earned money on keeping these criminals in the prisons?
Justice is a much bandied word but who gets justice and at what costs? So it is amazing that Veerappa Moily has embarked on conferring the Right to Justice on us the people of India . If only the government and its long arms keep out of this area there can be justice. In Quottrrochi's case it is the GOI that thwarted justice and made a mockery of the Justice-thanks to then Law Minster Bhardwaj Quottrrochi had the last laugh. Right from the beginning Quottrrochi had to be saved was the Congress sole motive. Even now the CBI is on the save Q path. Why is the CBI bothered about the taxpayers' money that it gives this as a reason to close Quottrrochi's case? That nothing new has come out of the Income Tax Tribunal regarding the kickbacks-states the CBI.- which means that earlier it had known the amounts and the persons to whom the kickbacks went and the tax evasion involved. This is the kind of justice we have and which Veerappa Moily wants to offer us? Not to speak of the Bhopal gas disaster-in which till date justice has not been dispensed with for the victims.This is a special kind of vision of the Congress.A justice which is wrapped in injustice and offered now as a Right. The less the Congress leaders talk of Justice the better because they have lost the ability to discern between justice and injustice
Is Right to Justice something like Right to Information, Right to Education? Where does this Right to Justice start and where does it end. How is it operational? Will the Law minister ensure that the Judges dispense justice? If only the GOI stops interfering in the judiciary and ban post retirement benefit there can be some justice .To keep prisoners on parole for years-to stretch the period of criminal justice for years allowing the rich and the powerful to buy time and closures of cases for 'lack of evidences' are all mired in corruption and corrupt judges. The whole judiciary has to be cleansed. We had the ex-CJI Balakrishnan who gave his full support to Justice Dinarakarn a corrupt judge -what was not good for Karnataka was good for Sikkim and so he was transferred there.
The people have become cynical of the justice system in our country thanks to the interference of the politicians and the rich. But still I must hasten to add that the Judicary is our only hope sans the interference of politicians. So to hear the Law minister telling us that soon we will have Right to Justice was ridiculous. I wish Veerappa Moily outlines how this Right would be implemented. Finally it must be stated that Justice has always a price-to go to courts one must have money and the capacity to wait for years. In no country does it take such a frustrating long period of wait for justice. Justice delayed is justice denied; one wonders what the Minister for Law is musing. The UPA government is creating a mirage of Rights, and a simulation of Justice.
Lets envisage a world where every person is assured of two meals a day, where every child is happily engrossed in school activities where every child is vaccinated and inoculated-where Health care is available and accessible to all-, where the communal divides fall, where there is justice at the door step for all, where there is peace and harmony-into that world- My Father let my people awake.

had to alter the "Import up to count Active Directory users" and Computers section to be much larger before mine started populating.
Could also be that the changes RM do on AD don't actuall put users in the normal place but in a special place for CC4??
Jul 21, 2011 at 5:42 UTC
Yeah, they are in Active Directory>Domain.Internal>Establishments>KST and are seperated within multiple OU's within Establishments. How can I get it to check here?
Many thanks again

1. Study perspective.
2. Study composition.
3. Study lighting.
4. Study storytelling with pictures.

I think you've managed to capture the Statue of Liberty quite well, so I think you have some keen observational skills. Also, added to the very frank post above, look at bat wing references to add some more dynamic realism to the front character.
Another piece of advice I would give is open up the canvas area some more and give yourself some more space to play with.
so the so the demon with the wings was not working for me and it was not telling a story at all. I want to make this look more realistic but I am just having a hard time with it. but for now this is where it is any tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks all for the input so far? Question. What colors would you go with to set the mood? Thanks all again!
crickets, its important that you have fun and paint thing thats interest you.
But if you want to improve, you need to begin with much simpler things. This image is much too complicated for your current skills. Start with composition of still lifes. Learn good value patterns and composition. At the same time, you'll be improving your painting application too.
Eventually you will learn to make thumbnails, and your images will leap forward. But you're not going to improve with your current method.
Good luck
Again, I would open up the canvas to make the image more wider. Then have it so the creature on the left and the statue, sit one third in from the canvas edge. Then, honestly, I would loose the 2 smaller fighter jets and keep the one in the foreground (which I think looks awesome by the way). With opening up the canvas, I would then move the jet in a little closer and more to the right. This way, the composition should be a little more balanced and the whole image a little less claustrophobic feeling.
To get a sense of distance I would add some atmospheric detail in and cover some of the monster with a little haze. Also, don't forget to pick out some detail in the golden colours on the actual statue and some of the light from the explosion would hit the surface of the structure. I've done a very very rough paint over to show you the direction I would take it in:
Thanks I will continue to work on it and try to open it up. I appreciate you taken the time to do the paint over thanks again!
thanks again!

As election season heats up, the U.S. labor market continues to be a hot topic for both presidential candidates. But how much of what they say is actually true? Let's take a look at the most recent jobs report to get an idea of where the economy really stands today.
Here's the News You Can Use From Today's Release:
- Job creation was lower than expected. While the U.S. created 156,000 jobs in September, and while economists had predicted higher gains of 176,000 jobs, this is no reason to panic.
According to The New York Times:
"As an election season marked by fears about jobs and wages enters the final stretch, the American economy looks more resilient than some campaign rhetoric might suggest."
According to Business Insider:
"The increase in nonfarm payrolls was lower than expected. But it remained strong enough to indicate that the job market is still robust, with employers unable to find all the skilled workers they want to hire."
According to MSNBC:
"Over the last 12 months, the overall economy has created 2.44 million new jobs, which is a pretty healthy number. What's more, September was the 72nd consecutive month of positive job growth, which is the longest on record."
- Labor force participation is up. The labor participation rate ticked up from 62.8 percent to 62.9 percent. What's the significance of this number?
According to CNS News:
"At a recent news conference, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said the labor force participation rate has increased on balance since late last year, which 'shows a substantial number of people are being attracted into the labor market.'"
According to the Wall Street Journal:
"Workforce participation peaked in 2000 and is expected to decline further in the coming years due to demographic and other forces. But the measure picked up over the past year, a sign the tightening labor market is drawing would-be workers off the sidelines. That's helped pin the unemployment rate in place despite continued employment gains."
- Wages increased, too. Average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 6 cents to $25.79 in September, while average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees increased by 5 cents to $21.68.
According to CNN Money:
"Pay checks are improving at a faster pace for Americans too. Wages grew 2.6% in September compared to a year ago. That's not stellar wage growth, which is usually above 3%. But it's better than the 2% growth — or less — seen for years during the recovery."
According to the Wall Street Journal:
"After years of wage growth stuck around 2%, pay raises began to move higher in 2015 and into this year—outpacing the long-sluggish pace of price inflation."
Looking at the overall economy over the past 12 months, the U.S. has created a healthy 2.44 million new jobs. What's more: September was the 72nd consecutive month of positive job growth — the longest on record. We're not out of the woods yet, however: The New York Times notes that "despite robust hiring in late 2015 and during much of 2016, notable pockets of economic weakness remain, more than seven years after the start of the current recovery."

text: Okay guys i just finished AC3.I have to say that i was a bit disappointed with the ending because it didn't answer any mysteries on the series.The major question for me was about Eve rather than "will the world end".Now we all remember 16 saying in ACB that Desmond has to go to Eden (which i assumed was the Grand Temple ) with Eve.It baffled me more than anything actually.So i was lookin forward to AC3 for some clarity.Well I didn't get any.And what about "The sun...your son" ???????I dunno if i missed something from AC3 but if anyone knows anything about any of these please help me. Also i thought we'd see what actually happened at the end of The Truth.I'm not sayin i didnt enjoy AC3.Just expected too much in the Desmond storyline.Since Desmond is apparently dead (i guess),I dont see him finding Eve and going to Eden(wherever that is). Of course there is a possibility Eden might be in Africa.But...i dont know...anyway let me know what you think

In an undoubtedly polarizing move (nothing new), Rob Zombie is launching a crowdfunding campaign for his upcoming Halloween-set feature, 31. Aiming to engage directly with fans, and likely in the interest of producing a warped genre vision on his terms, Zombie has set up shop at RZ-31 where concept art, videos and info on the film, as well as the requisite contribution rewards (including props from past films, lifetime passes to his shows and more) whet the appetites of would-be supporters and fans. In an exclusive talk with FANGORIA, Zombie discusses his decision to utilize the increasingly popular, if highly criticized, method of funding and what's in store for 31.Read more »

from The Daily Bell:
The tide of globalisation is turning Trade liberalisation has stalled and one can see a steady rise in protectionist measures … Has the tide of globalisation turned? This is a vitally important question. The answer is closely connected to the state of the world economy and the west's politics. – Financial Times
This article present a lot of positives surrounding "globalism," which is a fundamental elite meme, almost as important as central banking itself.
And who is the author, Martin Wolf? According to his FT bio, he is chief economics commentator at the Times, London. He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in 2000 "for services to financial journalism".
Wolf is very obviously a globalist. Nonetheless, one might be impressed with Wolf's sincerity since the article itself is postulating that globalism is somehow "losing."
Here's more:
Globalisation has reached a plateau and, in some areas, is in reverse. An analysis from the Peterson Institute for International Economics argues that ratios of world trade to output have been flat since 2008, making this the longest period of such stagnation since the second world war.
The impetus towards further economic integration has stalled … Globalisation is no longer driving world growth. If this process is indeed coming to an end, or even going into reverse, it would not be the first time since the industrial revolution, in the early 19th century.

Gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan is a respectful voice of reason and conscience
Numerous debates, campaign appearances and media interviews have clearly illustrated that the political differences between New Hampshire's candidates for governor are stark. Democrat Maggie Hassan, an Exeter attorney, strongly favors increasing the state's investment in education and supports expanding the state's Medicaid program, which provides health insurance coverage to low-income families. Republican Ovide Lamontagne, a Manchester attorney, hangs his campaign on pushing for smaller government, saying he doesn't support an expanded Medicaid program as it's outlined in federal law. He also wants to place greater control of education at the local community level, in spite of concern from some that doing so will also shift a greater share of the cost to the local level.
Hassan and Lamontagne are both amiable, respectful candidates who vow to work with the Legislature to do what's best for residents. They both oppose new broad-based taxes, support business development and want to bring gambling to the state. But after the extreme and destructive actions of the Legislature over the past two years — and the uncertainty about its future make-up — it's important to elect a candidate for governor who is focused on setting New Hampshire on a path to recovery that will better position it for future opportunities in stable, economic growth and technological innovation. That candidate is Maggie Hassan.
With a strong leadership background during her past service as Senate Majority Leader, she knows how to work with both parties to shape a role for state government that supports New Hampshire residents and businesses without stepping on their independence. Hassan will stand up to lawmakers who want to legislate Granite Staters' personal choices and she will speak strongly for the need to repair the state's vital safety net for vulnerable residents. She supports investing in technical colleges and freezing tuition at the University of New Hampshire to help families deal with the cost of college, while also proposing a serious review of ways to pare down costs in the system.
For his part, Lamontagne is a thoughtful candidate with a background working with hospitals and in the state's education system. Yet his approaches to health care and educational reform are out-of-touch and off-the-mark. Companies and young people won't flock to a state whose governmental policies work against, rather than toward, a flourishing population of educated, healthy people.
Also troubling this campaign season is Lamontagne's insistence that his staunchly conservative views on abortion, gay marriage and other social issues are simply not important in this election. The issues are there, whether simmering quietly or boiling over as they did recently under the current Legislature. For Lamontagne to say they shouldn't matter to voters, while at the same time signing conservative social advocacy group pledges, attending earlier this year an anti-gay marriage rally and saying he'll sign conservative social legislation if it crosses his desk, is disingenuous at best. The past two years have put New Hampshire's long tradition of personal freedom in jeopardy, and Hassan stands as an antidote to those who would further chip it away.
The state has had a popular and effective leader in Gov. John Lynch over the past eight years, but now voters must choose someone new. Hassan is a respectful voice of reason and conscience at a time when this state needs it most, and that's why we support her bid to be the next governor.

There is nothing special about this part that would be unique to the hood . It is a motorized 8 in. round damper. Go to a local heating and air dealer and have them get you one. They're available in 115 volt, 24 volt or even pneumatic to open and close the damper - ask the electrician what he prefers

"The place over the hills" - with Rafael Selegean
A new set, that I've been working on for some time, with my good friend Rafael. I followed his daily schedule around his favorite place, and this what came out, plus we are gonna have some pretty cool stuff coming up next week, with more people in the same place.
This apartment reminds me of movie apartments from New York City for some reason, it was great taking pictures there, with some pretty strong natural light, the colors look brilliant.
Many thanks to the Rafael for modelling and the place.

Arsenal handed very winnable Champions League group
Arsene Wenger saw his team drawn in Group A alongside Paris Saint-Germain, FC Basel and Ludogorets.
Arsenal will play French champions PSG, Swiss outfit FC Basel and Bulgarian side Ludogorets in the Champions League group stage this season.
Manchester City face European heavyweights Barcelona as Pep Guardiola returns to the Nou Camp in what should be two mouthwatering clashes. Borussia Monchengladbach and Brendan Rodgers' Celtic make up a fierce Group C.
Pot 4 side Celtic face an extremely tough task in what looks to be the group of death in this season's competition.
Premier League champions Leicester City play Porto, Club Brugge and Copenhagen in a decent Group G draw for their first appearance in Europe's elite tournament.
Tottenham Hotspur have a kind draw on their return to the competition with ties against CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco in Group E.
Depending on the performance of English sides in both the Champions League and Europa League, there is the possibility that the Premier League could lose its coveted fourth spot in the top-tier competition.
Groups in full:
A - Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, FC Basel, Ludogorets
B - Benfica, Napoli, Dynamo Kiev, Besiktas
C - Barcelona, Manchester City, Borussia Monchengladbach, Celtic
D - Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, PSV, Rostov

Everyone likes Gen 3 now because the people who started with Gen 3 are old enough to go online now.
And what happened to those who were praising gen 2?
From: Junahu | Posted: 11/8/2012 4:33:49 PM | #030
Gastroid posted...Gen II was simply Gen I with more content.
I'd call that new content. Structurally, the game was pretty much the same as Gen I, with only a handful of engine improvements (such as the new color palette for the GBC). The new game engine in Gen III was a radical departure from it, and is the base for all the generations we've seen since. I wasn't arguing from a gameplay perspective, but an engine one.

DarkBlueAnt posted...What was wrong with Gen 3? Was it just the least played? That's kind of expected since it came out after the nostalgia wore off, but before online came into play.
Gen 3 had that awkward time period (before FRLG) where it was just gen 3 Pokemon and handful of reused others. I was too young to notice really (6th grade, I think?) before FRLG came out.

The gen 2 praise was happening last gen when HGSS came out.
But yeah, pretty much all the people who love gen 3 are at that age now where they can start being nostalgic about things and they know how to use the internet, so they'll start gushing about it whenever they get the chance. Plus they probably feel bad that they haven't got a remake yet, so that just adds fuel to the fire.

Gen IV had Glaceon and Leafeon.

I say the egg, because it is a breakfast food. People who agree: 28
Outside of this board, Gen 3 is't really all that well liked.
Well it's all opinion anyway, so why would anyone worry about it.
How ever it really doesn't have a high chance of a remake since it is the lowest seller. Who knows though, since the creator has a soft spot for it.

Gen 3 games had the lowest sales of any generation and also was the least critically praised (especially compared to earlier generations) and there was a reason for that. As a matter of fact pokemon's popularity was actually decreasing during Ruby and Sapphire due to the lack of connectivity to earlier generations(the only games that had that problem) and also because people, especially kids, would rather play Yu-Gi-Oh. Emerald, and FireRed/Leaf/Green were Gen 3's only saving grace.
And to the people who say Gen 2's the black sheep; Gen 2 solidified Pokemon's status as a video game powerhouse as it continued the success of Red and Blue. As a previous user said, outside of this board, gen 3 is not as popular as it is here.
With that said, I love gen 3 a lot. Hoenn was an awesome region and even better than Johto, but I'd rather listen to the critics and game sales, then the opinions of users on a message board.

I think the reason 3rd gen was so hated before is because the most recent generation is the one most open to criticism. We don't want to insult our nostalgia, nor the game we're currently playing.
Nah, Gen III has been criticized ever since it came out so the logic there is off.
EdwardoMario16 4 years ago#40
It was essentially the same as it is in gen 5. The stupid restriction on Pokemon (aka time exclusive Pokemon) were nonexistent, and there's also the benefit of no season exclusive Pokemon.
Seriously, time is the worst feature ever. Do all the time lovers hate themselves or something?
Yeah man, this day/night time feature was so stupid. It was so dumb that they brought it back for the onset of Gen IV and V.
By "time" I meant day/night. I forgot that Gen 3 did have time (Shoal Cave), but you see, because of the lack of Gen 2's day/night feature, I wouldn't even remember that. Oh, it's Daylight all the time in the game, there's an internal clock in this game? Yeah, Time as the game runs in perpetual daylight. That makes sense.
That said, Gen III isn't bad, but it's the "black sheep" for a reason. Hoenn is a neat region and the Pokemon are cool, but as AuroraSonicBeam said, the lack of Gen 1 & 2 connectivity (The fact that the game boxes proudly boasted that), turned off a lot of the "Catch 'em All" fans who built their teams in Gen 1 & 2 had to suddenly "Catch 'em all over again.
This is the worst bird yet.

Starring Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Tom Hiddelston, Mia Wasikowska
Directed by Jim Jarmusch
Jim Jarmusch is one of my favorite filmmakers, and vampires are one of my favorite movie genres, so when I heard about Only Lovers Left Alive – you're damn right I was excited. Add to that some rock star guitar-porn, literary winks and nods to Byron and Shelley, put John Hurt in the cast… and I'm in!
Having seen the movie, I'm still in… but only with a toe in the water. I might dive in later on, but as of now my favorite Jim Jarmusch movie is still The Limits of Control.
Using his muse from TLoC, Jarmusch has cast Tilda Swinton as a romantic, androgynous, intellectual vampire named Eve. Naturally, Adam (Tom Hiddelston) is her husband. Adam is the original emo musician: morose, troubled, contemplative, laissez-faire and driven all at once. Together forever, at least in spirit, Only Lovers Left Alive chronicles their latest adventures when they reunite in a desolated Detroit, then fly off to magical Tangier to commune with their fanged guru, Marlowe (John Hurt). Before they can do that, though, they must contend with Eve's bratty younger sister, Ava (Mia Wasikowska).
Like something immortal itself, Only Lovers Left Alive runs far too long to sustain its story. It's over two hours, and while there are lots of characters and drama to sink one's teeth into, Jarmusch only gives us glimpses and chooses instead to linger long on slowly-spinning vinyl records, mosquito net-draped four-poster beds, rotting fibers of carpet, and lots and lots of guitars.
Fortunately, I love lots and lots of guitars. I also enjoyed the dreamy, late night, aimless rides the stylish couple take in their dilapidated classic Jaguar XJS coupe along the antediluvian alleyways of the Motor City in search of hidden artistic treasures amongst the rubble. At one point, Adam takes Eve on a little tourist run, showing her Jack White's childhood home and the Motown Museum along the way ("I'm more a Stax girl myself," Eve demurs, declining to go inside). I loved the parallels drawn between rockers and opiates, vampires and sociopolitical poets, architecture and the soul.
There is lots to love about Only Lovers Left Alive.
It's a thing of beauty in which to indulge the senses, but as a cohesive movie which tells a beginning-middle-end tale, it falls a tad short. Jarmusch never fails to show a good story – his visuals, regardless of DP, are practically unparalleled – it's the telling part that trips him up.
I look forward to seeing Only Lovers Left Alive again at home, curled up in comfort with all the time in the world… I suggest you do the same and wait for Blu-ray or VOD.
