The Most Important People on The Internet:
Volume 2.7
Quick, what's Kashyyyk for "papa?"
Welcome to another installment of The Most Important People on The Internet covering this week's random shit-spray of topics: From Liam Neeson breaking every single infidel's face with his particular set of skills to that time Miley Cyrus sloppily tried to blow a giant penis cake because she's a southern lady. Or basically the two exact moments in our civilization when future anthropologists will point and go, "Yup, right here. Right here is when they were fucked. Tell Cat-Master Somerhalder to prepare the time litter. His hour is at hand."

REUTERS - Australia's hard-hitting opening batsman Aaron Finch has signed a deal to play for Yorkshire in this year's English county season.
One of the top Twenty20 batsmen in the world, Finch, will join the team in May after his Indian Premier League commitments are over and is slated to be a big draw in the T20 Blast that is scheduled on Fridays from May to July.
Finch, who scored handsomely against England in their recent limited-overs series, credited Australia coach Darren Lehmann for helping him make up his mind.
"When I heard Yorkshire was interested in signing me, I had no hesitation in signing," the 27-year-old told the club's website.
"I had a good chat with Darren Lehmann and he recommended that I joined the club. He can't speak highly enough of the place and Yorkshire's loyal supporters.
"I hope to play in all formats whilst I'm at the club and even though the T20 season will be very exciting, I'm looking forward to testing myself in red ball cricket too."
With axed England batsman Kevin Pietersen also agreeing a deal to play for Surrey, the English T20 season is set to receive a boost.
"I'd definitely back him (Finch) to score more runs for us than Kevin Pietersen does for Surrey," Yorkshire chief executive Mark Arthur was quoted as saying by the Guardian newspaper.
"He's an exciting player and a box-office signing, both for Yorkshire and for English cricket."

Mangia Mangia Balsamic Vinaigrette on Baby Greens
Recipe by kitty.rock
Says Chef Eliot Barton of Mangia Mangia restaurant in Key West, "This is the only dressing available at Mangia Mangia." He recommends using high quality vinegars and olive oils and adds, "The little bit of water reduces acidity but retains the fine flavor of the vinegar. Inexpensive vinegars are already too diluted. Look for vinegars in the range of 6 % acidity." From "The Florida Keys Cookbook"
Top Review by Samantha in Ut
I am happy I used the suggestion of quality oils and vinegars. This was so easy to throw together and is going into rotation. I loved that it tastes so fresh. My son (4yr) asked for extra and that is always a plus. Next time I will try on grilled veggies. Made for ZWT 5.

Directed by Jung Byung-gil (정병길)
Screenplay by Jung Byung-gil (정병길)119min | Release date in South Korea : 2012/11/08
Also known as "I Am The Murderer"
Director Jeong Byeong-gil made his debut with action documentary "Action Boys" (2008), a film about stunt men who dream of becoming action stars. He is now moving onto feature films for the first time. This action thriller, with his stable performance, Jeong Jae-yeong takes on the roll of detective Choi Hyung-gu and popular TV drama star Park Si-hoo plays Lee Du-seok. After the statute of limitation expires on the murders he has committed, Lee Du-seok publishes an autobiography describing all his murders in great detail. Detective Choi, who investigated Lee's murders 15 years ago starts the chase once again and Han Ji-soo, who lost her daughter to Lee, pledges vengeance. Meanwhile, another killer appears, casting doubt to whether Lee is the real serial killer. The key here is how well the story juggles the truth and how solid the description of the characters' tangled relationships is. The film began production in January, and is scheduled to be released during the second half of the year.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I swerved the car into a tree to avoid collision with an upcoming car in my lane. The tree fell to the ground and was totally destroyed but I saved my life and my friend's life as well as the life of those in the other car. The police man gave me a warning as it involved destroying city property. He said it will not affect my records.
Now my friend's insurance is sending me letter after letter asking me to call them so they can ask about the details of the accident. My friend called them up and said that they should not involve me as he had asked me to drive and that he will pay the surcharge as under mass law the car's insurance only pays up to $500 and the driver's insurance pays the rest if they are found more than 50% at fault. My friend asked that I ignore them?
Don't ignore the insurance company. You were driving his car with his permission. Your friend was a passenger. As an operator of your friend's car, you are likely covered under his insurance policy for the damaged tree. Your question raises the issue of your duty to cooperate with the insurance company as it conducts its investigation. You should return the adjuster's call and explain what happened. Another car was about to hit you, you swerved to avoid a collision and, unfortunately, hit the tree. If you and your friend fail to cooperate, the insurance may deny coverage for the claim.
Information provided above is intended for general information only. The information presented above should not be construed to be formal legal advice nor the formation of a lawyer/client relationship.Ask a similar question
Your question needs some clarification. Is your insurance ("driver insurance") covering the loss or is the car insurance covering the loss?
In these types of situations, usually the insurance covering the car is "primary", meaning that the insurance from that covers the losses up to the policy limits, and the driver's insurance is "secondary", meaning that it only provides coverage if the primary policy is inadequate to compensate a covered loss.
My question is whether the car insurance is providing coverage and the $500 "surcharge" is actually your friend's deductible. If your friend's insurance is providing coverage for your liability, it may be a good idea to cooperate and provide a statement.
One twist may be if your friend's insurance is providing coverage but seeking subrogation or reimbursement from your insurance company. Have you reported the accident to your insurance company? If so, I would ask the adjuster in that case what position to take with regard to a statement.
Good luck.Ask a similar question
This sounds like a single vehicle accident, but the question is, why did you swerve? If to avoid something there may not be any liability on your part. Since you are seeking coverage through your friend's automobile insurance policy, and you were the driver, you need to cooperate with the insurer. Whether or not cooperation means you have to provide a statement is a question, but the insurer could compel you to provide an examination under oath. At the very least, you need to file an operator's report with the local police agency, registry of motor vehicles, and the insurer of the vehicle if the damage exceeds $500.00.Ask a similar question

Happy Endings Cast The Handsome Nick Zano as Penny's Season 3 Love Interest09/01/2012
Happy Endings: Casts Nick Zano in Season 3-TVLine
According to TVLine's Kimberly Roots, Nick Zano has been cast as a love interest for Penny in season 3 of Happy Endings, and he will be appearing in at least six episodes. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Zano's role:
His story will pair him with Casey Wilson's perpetually single Penny, whose feelings for pal Dave were shut down in the Season 2 finale by the apparent rekindling of his romance with former fiancée Alex.
Zano's character, Pete, will first show up in the fifth episode of Season 3. But theirs is not a case of love at first sight; in fact, Penny thinks she might be too good for him!
My thoughts: I have to say that I'm really excited about this news for several reasons. For starters, I've always really liked Nick Zano, and I personally think that he's a great comedic actor. Nick Zano definitely deserves a lot more recognition for his acting than he gets. Next, I've always loved Penny's storylines that focus on her love life, because I think they are always extremely funny. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Penny get a boyfriend who sticks around for more than one episode. I'm sure that Penny having a more long-term love interest will be very interesting and extremely hilarious to watch. That being said, I really wish that ABC would treat Happy Endings a lot better than it always has, because in my opinion it ties with It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia when it comes to me deciding what show I think is the funniest comedy currently on TV.

L4dy Friendwrote a review of Petzl Corax Harness - Men's on February 2, 2012
One of the best working harness
Our team at work used this harness for confined space and container works. It is comfortable for hours at a time. It is easily adjustable for various waist and leg sizes. The sizing is easy. For most average guys, size 2 will adjust and fit well. For most average gals, size 1 will fit just fine. Most of the guys on the team has waist between 34 to 38, and size 2 have plenty room on both end of adjustment. I borrowed a size 1 for my teenage daughter to climb wall in gym, and it fitted perfectly for her.
Well constructed with comfortable design. You cannot go wrong with this harness.

The Australian dollar rate (AUD) recorded substantial gains yesterday, providing investors the best conversion rates seen in over 6 months against the battered British pound (GBP).
It looks as though Boris Johnson's decision not to side with David Cameron in the 'Brexit' debate has sparked a bitter feud, with strong words already exchanged in parliament, allowing AUD to GBP spot rate to remain strong.
The Australian Dollar has also been aided today by poor news from the US, with the Markit Manufacturing PMI showing an unexpected slowdown in sector activity.
The London Mayor's decision to campaign to leave the EU has pushed the Australian Dollar to Pound conversion to its best rate since May 2015.
Boris Johnson has claimed that the only way to change the EU is if Britain votes to leave, which suggests he believes that a 'leave' vote could force the EU to renegotiate the UK's terms, after which the country would hold a second referendum.
However, David Cameron's spokeswoman has made it clear that this is not an option, stating that 'a vote to leave is a vote to leave and the process is very clear.'
- The Australian Dollar Advance Continues After US PMI Disappointment
- The Pound To New Zealand Dollar Rate Down Over Two Per Cent!
Before we continue with the news, here are the latest interbank AUD fx rates for your reference:
On Monday the Pound to Australian Dollar exchange rate (GBP/AUD) converts at 1.626
At time of writing the aus dollar to pound exchange rate is quoted at 0.615.
FX markets see the australian dollar vs euro exchange rate converting at 0.672.
The aus dollar conversion rate (against new zealand dollar) is quoted at 1.083 NZD/AUD.
NB: the forex rates mentioned above, revised as of 21st Aug 2017, are inter-bank prices that will require a margin from your bank. Foreign exchange brokers can save up to 5% on international payments in comparison to the banks.
Buying demand for the Australian Dollar took a nosedive last week after the latest Aussie employment figures showed an unexpected jump in the Unemployment Rate from 5.8 to 6.0 per cent.
As this erased some of the improvement of the November and December employment reports, equally undermining the more robust impression of the Australian economy, this saw the AUD to NZD exchange rate slump.
With stronger economic fundamentals having deterred the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) from adopting a more dovish tilt in January this weaker showing encouraged speculation that an interest rate cut could be in the pipeline.
Ahead of the weekend the Australian Dollar (AUD) exchange rate trended lower as stronger-than-expected US inflation data prompted a rise in the US Dollar (USD), weighing on the commodity-correlated currency.
Recent comments from RBA board member John Edwards did not do anything to improve the appeal of the Aussie Dollar, expressing concern with the relative strength of the Australian Dollar at present, as researchers at TDS note:
'Also Edwards said that the employment growth seen in late 2015 won't be repeated, but this again stands in contrast to RBA comments where the Bank has highlighted more data is needed to determine the labour market trend, in particular why GDP has been below trend and the unemployment rate has fallen.'
While it remains to be seen what the ultimate impact of January's poor employment data will be, the Australian Dollar is expected to remain on a weaker trend against the majors heading into the week.
Pound to Australian Dollar Exchange Rate Makes Gains in spite of 'Brexit' Worries
Counterintuitively, an unexpectedly strong raft of UK Retail Sales figures failed to boost Pound Sterling (GBP) on Friday, as investors remained preoccupied with the 'Brexit' issue.
Nevertheless, sales rose a particularly bullish 5.2% on the year while reversing the more negative trend of the December figures, suggesting that consumer demand had strengthened at the beginning of the year in spite of wider market turmoil.
Aussie data is expected to continue to have a more limited impact on the GBP to AUD exchange rate in coming months, as uncertainty over the UK's future in the EU weighs heavily on the country's economic outlook.
Euro Exchange Rate Today: Dovish ECB Meeting Minutes Fail to Keep EUR/AUD on Downtrend
Confidence in the Euro (EUR) has remained generally stronger in spite of the more dovish tone of the latest European Central Bank (ECB) meeting minutes, as markets hesitate to accept the likelihood of further monetary loosening in March.
Weaker German Producer Prices failed to diminish the appeal of the Euro on Friday, as safe-haven demand shored up the single currency amidst concerns over the current global oil supply glut.
Monday's raft of Eurozone Manufacturing and Services PMIs may push the Euro to Australian Dollar (EUR/AUD) exchange rate lower, however, as the economic health of the currency union is expected to show fresh signs of weakness.
Increasing Odds of RBNZ Rate Cut Fail to Weigh on NZD/AUD Exchange Rate
While the New Zealand Dollar to Australian Dollar (NZD/AUD) spot exchange rate saw some marked weakness in response to the fourth consecutive session of price decline at the GlobalDairyTrade auction this week the pairing has since regained ground.
New Zealand economic data has remained largely discouraging, increasing speculation that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will opt to cut interest rates again sooner rather than later.
With markets having returning to a risk-off position on Friday the New Zealand Dollar (">NZD) was in mixed form, although it nevertheless held onto gains against the softer Australian Dollar.

(CBS) - It seems we may be seeing the beginning of a new trend of viral videos - athletes showing off their mad skills outside the field or court.
Last week, we were blown away by the impressive trick shots of UConn quarterback Johnny "Mac" Mcentee. Today we may have a contender for the title in the form of UNC-Asheville goalkeeper Lassi Hurskainen.
This time it's soccer instead of football, but I'd say it's a "close game" in terms of the "wow" factor for both athletes.
Mcentee is below.
Who takes the crown for most impressive trick skills - Johnny Mcentee or Lassi Hurskainen?

Many women love shoes, and finding the latest styles is a popular hobby. Shockingly, some of the "latest styles," aren't really that new at all. They're modern twists on very old concepts. Here is some of the history behind a few popular shoe types.
- High heels – In the fashion industry, a shoe is only a true high heel if the heel is over 3.5 inches tall. Even though they're considered women's footwear today, that isn't how they started out. Another interesting thing about heels is that they apparently were developed for purposes unrelated to fashion. Murals from 3500 BC show that they originally had religious significance: In Egypt, the heel took the form of an ankh "" a symbol of life. Another use for high heels was even more prosaic. They were worn by butchers who wanted to elevate their feet above the blood and offal on the floor!Interestingly, some menswear boots are technically high heels, even today. The cowboy boot, in particular, qualifies for this designation. The functional reason for the high heel is to help keep the foot in a horse's stirrup, but like women's high heels, most cowboy boots are now worn as a fashion statement.
- Moccasins – Moccasins were invented by Native Americans, and originally were used by many different tribes. They are fully enclosed shoes with soft soles. This construction allows the wearer to feel the ground while protecting his or her feet from hazards. They are traditionally made of locally available animal skins, so the preferred hides varied by tribe. According to the Chickasaw Library, their tribe originally made moccasins from deer hides, bear hides and elk hides. The type of leather used to make the shoes varied according to the occasion, as well as availability.In modern times, the moccasin concept has evolved into many of the types of shoes seen in today's stores. Oxfords, sneakers and other types all feature enclosed construction, and in most cases, leather or other hides are still seen as the best material.
- Sandals "" Sandals take many fancy forms now, but at their base, they're simply a mostly open shoe featuring a solid bottom. It's no wonder, then, that sandals were likely the first form of footwear ever invented. Sandals woven from sagebrush bark have been carbon dated to 10,000 years old. These shoes started out as purely functional protection, but it wasn't that long before people realized that they could also serve as status symbols and fashion statements.
The most shocking shoe-related fact of all may be that ancient cultures often didn't use shoes at all. Even ancient Greece's military hoplite units fought barefoot. Shoes were seen as ostentatious and unnecessary for all but ceremonial occasions, and it took a while for their use to spread even in that instance. One thing is clear: Once shoes became accepted, people took to them with great vigor. Now, there are several major categories of footwear and millions of individual designs.
The next time you're in a shoe store, take a good look at how the latest pair is really made. While the specific style may be cutting edge, chances are that underneath its lines, it's a moccasin, a sandal or a high heel "" and the basic concept behind it has been around for thousands of years.


text: 100% agree with the subjectivity of listening to speakers. I'd even venture to say within someone's own collection of music, speakers would sound different. You put in country (no offense anyone) I might not hear subtle audio advantages over a set of speakers playing something more in tune with my choice of music. ie Slipknot, Five Finger Death Punch, etc.

Following a military take-over in Balkan territory, a group of soldiers led by ex British S.A.S serviceman, Andy Marlow (Robert Fucilla) are sent by the President to rescue the US ambassador.
If you and your mates rented a camera and the contents of an army surplus store, you could hardly fail to improvise a better grunts-with-guns flick than this humdrum effort, which has escaped its direct-to-petrol-station destiny thanks to the dazzling combined star power of chirpy Cockney Blackwood and Titanic villain Zane (sporting one of Bruce Willis' discarded hair pieces). It's not so much The Expendables as The Unemployables. After a military coup in Bosnia the President sends in a squad of soldiers, armed with digital explosions and dangerous accents, to rescue the US ambassador. The combat scenes are authentic, but for all the shooting and scowling, it's a pretty dull, bloodless and inconsequential affair.
All the fire power but with no substantial plot, this film will leave you feeling highly unsatisfied.

ZTE Grand X Pro Review
0. phoneArena posted on 15 Nov 2013, 06:40
ZTE's popularity falters in comparison with its numerous rivals, but only the uninitiated would underestimate what the company can deliver, as we've recently seen with the Nubia line of devices. The ZTE Grand X Pro is from a very different stock, however, and it instantly raised a few potential flags, before we even got to the reviewing part. Will these manifest themselves into real problems, and does the Grand X Pro have any aces up its sleeve? Read on to find out.

Speak for yourself, I personally prefer inexpensive devices like the Lumia 521. Also i would never make a line to get a new device that is just ridiculous.

I would appreciate some video reviews, i like mobile devices. i like to see what's available, unless i plan on buying the phone i'm not going to read a review. Though I would watch it.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Before anyone could even ask, Aaron Rodgers looked at the group of reporters standing in front of his locker on Wednesday and said, "I'm fine" after missing the previous day's practice because of a head cold.
Rodgers' return was one of the few things Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy was happy about. After the only padded practice of the week, McCarthy ripped his team's performance.
"When the pads are on, we practice a certain way," McCarthy said. "When the shells are on, we practice a certain way, and we didn't accomplish that today."
McCarthy put the team on a regular-season schedule this week, so with a Friday preseason game against Seattle, Wednesday simulated an in-season practice that would take place two days before the game.
"Today was the final practice to get ready for the Seahawks," McCarthy said. "We were in shells yesterday for a reason. We were in pads today for a reason. We didn't take full advantage of the opportunity to get ready to play."
Without another practice before Friday's game against the Seahawks at Lambeau Field, McCarthy was asked how he will get his message across to the players. He offered a one-word answer: "Communicate."
McCarthy's anger apparently was directed at the offense, because after practice, defensive coordinator Dom Capers didn't seem anywhere near as upset about the workout.
"You now, we had a couple of errors, but I thought the guys were tuned in and feeling pretty good," Capers said.
In other developments from Wednesday's practice:
Rookie receiver Charles Johnson practiced for the first time since the second day of training camp on July 27, when he dropped out because of a knee injury. It leaves little time for the seventh-round draft pick to make an impression. He also missed most of the offseason program because of an unspecified injury. The Packers like Johnson because of his size (6-foot-2) and athleticism, but he came from small-college football at Grand Valley State and is raw. Said McCarthy: "You just want to see him play, play fast, play with confidence and try to do the best he can. He definitely has a lot of ability. That's why we drafted him, and hopefully he can go."
Randall Cobb started the practice in pads, but by the end he was in a T-shirt and playing catch off to the side with fellow receiver Jordy Nelson, who remains sidelined because of a knee injury. However, Cobb said he did not have a setback with his strained biceps. "That was the plan, limited practice," Cobb said. He said he wasn't sure whether he would play against the Seahawks.
Given the way last year's Week 3 game at Seattle ended, it was perhaps fitting that the Packers practiced their Hail Mary play in preparation for the Seahawks. Tight end D.J. Williams caught the bomb for a touchdown during a period the Packers call "Last eight plays."
Medical report: Rookie first-round draft pick Datone Jones dropped out of Wednesday's practice after he re-injured his sprained left ankle, suffered in the Aug. 9 preseason opener against Arizona. Jones had returned to practice on Monday.
Jones walked off under his own power and did not appear to be walking with more than a slight limp, but his status for Friday's game is unknown. The defensive end has played only one snap so far in preseason game action.
"We've had Datone for one play in the preseason," Capers said. "That's just the way it is. Once he's back and ready to go, we're going to have to really put him on a crash course. We know what kind of ability he has, but if a young guy's not out there practicing, it's hard for him to make improvement."
The only other new injury was to rookie outside linebacker Andy Mulumba, who was making a strong push for a roster spot. McCarthy said Mulumba had a knee that swelled up.
Cornerback Loyce Means returned to practice after missing one day because of an ankle injury.
The full list of players who did not suit up for practice was down to 10. They were CB James Nixon (knee, ankle), S Sean Richardson (neck), CB Tramon Williams (knee), OL J.C. Tretter (ankle), T Bryan Bulaga (knee), T Derek Sherrod (leg), TE Matthew Mulligan (elbow), WR Nelson (knee), DE Jerel Worthy (knee) and Mulumba (knee).

Tokyo stocks climbed 1.40 per cent to a near two-year high on Friday, with exporters lifted by a weaker yen as Japan's new government unveiled a $US226.5 billion ($214.68 billion) stimulus package to stoke the economy.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index ended up 148.93 points at 10,801.57 while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares rose 1.09 per cent, or 9.67 points, to 898.69.
The US dollar rose as high as ¥89.34 in Asian trade, its strongest since June 2010, on hopes of more Bank of Japan easing and after official data showed Japan's trade picture worsening.
The figures showed the November current account falling to a worse-than-expected ¥222.4 billion deficit.
"The stock market cares little about the current account per se, but the weaker yen is fuelling reflexive bullishness," said Toshihiko Matsuno, senior strategist at SMBC Friend Securities.
"Along with the expected buying in exporters, investors are also targeting commodity-tied shares on the theory that they have been underserved over the current broad-market rally," he told Dow Jones Newswires.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who came to power last month partly on a pledge to reverse Japan's fading economic fortunes, said the stimulus was designed to create 600,000 new jobs and drag the country out of chronic deflation.
The new leader repeated a call for Tokyo and the Bank of Japan to "join hands" on driving growth.
Mr Abe has been pressing the central bank to set a two-per cent inflation target, and tensions have risen between the new leader and BoJ chief Masaaki Shirakawa over perceived threats to the bank's independence.
In Tokyo stock trading, Honda rose 1.50 per cent to ¥3380 and Nikon jumped 3.34 per cent to ¥2721.
Sharp shares jumped 12.62 per cent to ¥330 after a report in Japan's Mainichi newspaper said the money-losing electronics maker had returned to operating profit in the three months to December.
The US dollar bought ¥89.08 in Tokyo afternoon trade against ¥88.64 in New York on Thursday afternoon.
The euro fetched ¥118.15, rising past ¥118.00 for the first time since May 2011.

Career Choice - CS vs Computer Engineeri
Career Choice - CS vs Computer Engineering
Nov 1, 2013 at 2:53pm UTC
I have been thinking about my potential career choices over the past few months with regards to the computing industry and I am tied between computer science and computer engineering. My question ultimately is: which is more flexible and more rich in opportunity in the long run? By flexibility I mean the diversity of the discipline/field. I know it is my personal preference at the end of the day, though I am just interested.
I am leaning more towards the computer engineering side at the moment since I am interested in the electrical engineering side of computer hardware (I have been studying the architecture and organisation of the intel 8085, memory and I/O port interfacing, and manuals of controllers and other peripheral devices lately), as well as the low level assembly language programming, and how they are used to implement prominent data structures in higher level languages (arrays, lists, classes ect). I like how computer engineering can be seen as a computer science/elecrical engineering hybrid though I think more potential/job opportunities will be present if I just take full-on computer science degree. What are everyones thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance :)
Nov 1, 2013 at 7:48pm UTC
Ultimately, if the degree is of interest to you and you do very well in it, it will open up more jobs than getting an average degree in a subject you're not as interested in doing.
Nov 1, 2013 at 11:39pm UTC
A lot of Universities have hybrid CS/CE majors. My major is one of those types. It's basically a CS degree with the addition of some electrical engineering and hardware related courses, and all of the other engineering requirements. I have to do more math and physics as well as chemistry.
I am kind of regretting it in some ways / considering switching to pure CS only because you have more room in a pure CS degree to take your choices of upper division CS electives. In CSE, there is less freedom in that regard.
I am eager to learn about hardware and everything, but for me I am finding that the EE related courses like circuits for example, are not nearly as fun and interesting to me as theoretical CS courses. They are very demanding courses as well. The EE courses I have to spend a ton of time on.
The plus though is that I think it will open doors to some interesting low level jobs working at the level where hardware and software directly interact. I am interested in finding jobs working for companies like AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, APPLE, etc, GPU, GPGPU, as well as jobs working on drivers for devices.
Anyways, I think that CS/CE or EE hybrids are a little more ridged and demanding, and leave less creative and intellectual freedom than just CS, but it may be worth it. It's too early for me to say much more about it.
But you seam to have a very strong interest in low level CS and hardware, so I don't think CE would be a mistake for you. You will still learn some programming and have the opportunity to get a job as a software engineer. Ultimately, I think that the degree, CS, CE, CSE, whichever, will open the door to being offered the opportunity to prove yourself, and then it comes down to proving yourself by explaining/showing your personal projects, interests, research and skills.

Thanks for the replies.
@htlrwin Thanks for the detailed reply, I agree with you that CE might leave less creative and intellectual freedom than the full CS, which was what I also thought and why I ultimately made this thread. However, like you mentioned there are still very interesting jobs dependent on that particular degree that you could do, and I don't have to isolate myself to just low level CS/hardware with a CE degree. I think I will go with CE for now, though there is still lots of time. I have heard that the first few courses of CS and CE in many universities are similar, do you know if that's true?
@Mats I agree and see what you mean, though I was referring to CS and CE specifically, in terms of the future demand and potential between the two.

Yes, at my University, CE majors still take Discrete Math for CS, Intro prgramming, Obj. Oriented programming, Assembly, Data Structures, Analysis of Algorithms (upper division), and Operating Systems (upper division).
But CE majors don't have to take programming languages, Analysis of Algorithms 2, or Theory of Computation.
Both CS and CE and CSE have to take Computer Architecture.

@htlrwin Thanks once again! One more thing, is the math side of CE in fundamental EE related courses more like things such as differential calc (i.e working out instantaneous voltage/amperes)?

Yes. Where I am at, CS majors don't even need to get to vector calculus, or differential equations, but they do need linear algebra. So CSE, or EE, or CE, you have to take an additional calculus course and differential equations. The CE and EE majors also need to take Modern physics, which is relativity, quantum mechanics, particle physics etc.
For the EE courses, you really need to know your calculus and differential equations.

Ok, thank you, this really helped me clear up and clarify a few things :)

The Campaign for Girls Achieving a generational leap in leadership opportunities for today's girls.
Girl Scouts is the nation's premier leadership organization for girls. Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Table of Contents Overview Our Legacy of Leadership Today's Girl Scouts What makes us unique? The Campaign for Girls The vision Why now? How you can help
Our Legacy of Leadership
Girl Scouts was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. She believed passionately that girls should be given the same opportunities as boys to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. Juliette was a true trailblazer, and her visionary leadership created a strong foundation for the organization we would become: Environmental Stewardship She purchased a camp ten years before she purchased an office building. Diversity and Inclusion Integrated troops existed forty years before the Civil Rights Act was passed. Global Citizenship The International Council of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts was formed in 1919, the same year as the League of Nations. Educational Enrichment As early as 1913, aeronautics and circuitry programming inspired girls to consider non-traditional careers. Public Service Young Girl Scouts volunteered in hospitals, grew vegetables, sold bonds, and collected peach pits for use in gas mask filters during World War I.
Today's Girl Scouts
We are the largest girl-serving organization in the United States. We are more than three million strong: • 2.3 million girls, 5 to 17 years of age • 16,000 Girl Scouts overseas • 880,000 adult volunteers • 50 million alumnae • 112 councils throughout the United States The rich diversity of our country is reflected in the multicultural mosaic of our membership: • We are urban, suburban, and rural. • We are in schools, churches, temples, mosques, public housing, foster homes, and detention centers. • We are in virtually every zip code. • We are the largest member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, a sisterhood of close to 10 million girls and adults in 145 countries.
What makes us unique?
One girl makes a difference; girls together are changing the world. Girl Scouts changes the world by supporting the young women who will change it—who are already changing it: • Teaching self-defense to battered women in homeless shelters • Building after-school reading programs for girls in Tanzania • Providing expert testimony on cyberbullying before a congressional panel In 2009, Girl Scouts provided over 75 million hours of direct service to their communities. And this doesn't count time spent learning, training, traveling, or just having fun. The contribution to society—from the local to the international level—represents $1.6 billion in girl-led projects with lasting results.
Our alumnae are living proof of our impact. For 100 years, Girl Scouts has done more than any other organization to provide leadership opportunities for girls. At any given point in time, approximately 10 percent of girls are Girl Scouts. Yet: • Eighty percent of women business owners were Girl Scouts.1 • Sixty-nine percent of female U.S. senators were Girl Scouts.1 • Sixty-seven percent of female members of the House of Representatives were Girl Scouts.1 • Virtually every female astronaut who has flown in space was a Girl Scout. America's most accomplished women in public service, business, science, education, the arts, and community life are Girl Scout alumnae.
1 Defining Success, Girl Scouts of the USA, 1999.
What makes us unique? Leadership experiences are what make Girl Scouting unique. Girl Scouts has introduced a new approach to what girls do in Girl Scouting, how they do it, and how they benefit窶馬ow and throughout their lives. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience helps girls discover what they can do, learn to connect with others, and take action to improve the world around them.
15 Outcomes ofThe Girl Scout Leadership Experience D I S C O V E R
1 Girls develop a strong sense of self. 2 Girls develop positive values. 3 Girls gain practical life skills. 4 Girls seek challenges in the world. 5 Girls develop critical thinking. 1 Girls develop healthy relationships.
2 Girls promote cooperation and team building. 3 Girls can resolve conflicts. 4 Girls advance diversity in a multicultural world. 5 Girls feel connected to their communities, locally and globally.
1 Girls can identify community needs. 2 Girls are resourceful problem solvers. 3 Girls advocate for themselves and others, locally and globally. 4 Girls educate and inspire others to act. 5 Girls feel empowered to make a difference in the world.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY When today's girls graduate from college, America will need three million more scientists and engineers. 2 Girl Scouts is fueling this pipeline. Programs in science, technology, engineering, and math now account for over half of all Girl Scout awards, and we introduce more girls to inspiring role models in scientific fields than any other organization. FINANCIAL LITERACY Soon 90 percent of all women will have to be financially self-sufficient. 3 Millions of girls learn their economic ABCs by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. This $715 million business—run by girls—teaches these young entrepreneurs vital life skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. HEALTHY LIVING Girl Scout programs recognize that physical health, emotional health, and selfesteem are interconnected. We embrace the "whole girl." Nine out of ten girls say our self-esteem program helps them make positive changes in their lives.4 ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP Girl Scouts combines environmental education with community action on a national scale. Last year alone, 83,000 girls worked directly with conservationists and scientists to complete environmental projects in 43 states. GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP Girl Scouts makes the world smaller and the girl bigger. Through the world's largest organization of girls, every girl has a global impact and a global voice.

The Campaign for Girls
In 2012, we will mark 100 years of Girl Scouting. Our goal is to raise $1 billion. We will give every girl the opportunity to be the leader she wants to be, to be the leader the world needs her to be. Join us in making a promise to girls: Every girl in this generation will reach her fullest potential. Wherever she lives. Whatever challenges face her. However great the journey to what she can become.
The Campaign for Girls
The challenges of the 21st century demand collaborative leadership. Organizations make better decisions and yield stronger results when women and men share leadership roles.5 Companies with female leaders in their executive ranks consistently outperform their industry peers. Yet the officers and directors of Fortune 500 companies are 85 percent male, and only 15 have a female CEO.6 In the political arena, only 17 percent of U.S. senators, representatives, and governors are women. We can no longer afford to have potential leaders, innovators, and policymakers on the sidelines. Girl Scouts provides girls with more ways to learn and lead than any other organization.
The leadership landscape must change faster for today's girls. If women continue to gain leadership roles at the same rate they have since winning the right to vote in 1920, they will catch up to men sometime in the 23rd century— the era in which Star Trek is set.7 Today's girls won't wait. This generation of girls can go farther. They will go farther. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience changes the arc of girls' lives, providing leadership opportunities in their communities and around the world.

The Campaign for Girls
Government investment in children is declining dramatically. Girls have a longer climb to leadership—girls in underserved communities most of all. Our leadership programs support state curriculum standards in all 50 states and in the District of Columbia. The Girl Scout program is an integrated leadership experience that develops life skills in girls: from financial literacy to healthy living to online safety.
In a world transformed by technology, many companies now look overseas to fill talent gaps. As today's girls graduate from college, America will need three million more scientists and engineers.8 Yet girls start leaving science to boys as early as seventh grade. Girl Scouts makes science come alive for girls through hands-on experience and access to inspiring role models. Programs in science, technology, and math now account for over half of all Girl Scout awards. Girl Scouts is what girls need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
8 US Department of Labor, 2003.
The Campaign for Girls
Today's girls represent humanity's greatest untapped talent pool. Investing in girls produces the greatest return in economic development, social progress, and public health.9 Yet girls' programs receive only 7.5 percent of philanthropic dollars. Girl Scouts are leading the change our world so desperately needs.
Too many urgent challenges go unmet because too few girls become leaders. Boys and girls agree that leadership has no gender.10 Yet only one girl in five believes that she herself has what it takes to lead.11 The Girl Scout Leadership Experience gives girls the confidence, skills, and experience they need to make the world a better place.

How you can help. An investment in Girl Scouts is a commitment to developing young leaders who have the passion and the know-how to change the world. In partnership with Girl Scout councils across the country, we will raise $1 billion, achieving a generational leap in leadership opportunities for girls. This is the country's largest-ever campaign for girls, and it will ensure that every girl has the opportunity to be the leader she wants to be, and the leader the world needs her to be. Our campaign will: • Expand leadership opportunities for girls • Advance Girl Scouting by reaching more girls—especially in underserved communities • Develop a national agenda for girls
The Campaign for Girls Expanding leadership opportunities through program development Girl Scouts expands the kind of life skills and educational programs that are disappearing from our schools. No other organization provides girls with as many ways to learn and lead as today's Girl Scouts. The result: girls who are successful in school, in family relationships, and in careers, and who are inspired to make a difference in their communities and their world.

The general consensus is that the world's economic difficulties can be traced to a crisis in the financial system.
Initially brought on by the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market in the USA, it spread through a financial landscape defined by high levels of debt and speculative risk. Some point to the dangers of collapse inherent in the modern financial system, while others blame long-term imbalances in the world economy between low-investment, high-consumption areas like the USA and rapidly developing regions such as China and South Asia.
In Business as Usual Paul Mattick explains the recession in jargon-free style, without shying away from serious analysis. He explores current events in relation to the development of the world economy since the Second World War and, more fundamentally, looks at the cycle of crisis and recovery that has characterised capitalism since the early nineteenth century. Mattick situates today's crisis in the context of a capitalism ruled by a voracious quest for profit. He places the downturn within the context of business cycles and uses this explanation as a springboard for exploring the nature of our capitalist society, and its prospects for the future.
A clear and readable account of the successes and the inherent limits of government attempts to stabilise the economy, Mattick ultimately reveals how today's downturn is not simply the effect of a financial crisis, but that it manifests a truth about the nature of the social and economic system in which we live.
About the Author
Paul Mattick is Professor of Philosophy at Adelphi University, New York. He is former editor of the International Journal of Political Economy, author of Art in its Time (2003), and co-author of Art Works : Money (2004).

quiet interesting, more so for those that suffered through GFC
Future analysis of what to come is interesting
Useful for finance types only
'Paul Mattick says the recession isn't just a financial crisis; it manifests a truth about the socioeconomic system in which we live.' - Irish Times 'We highly recommend it - it's a brilliantly comprehensive and yet miraculously short history and analysis of capitalist crisis ... Mattick's book is an essential guide.' - Socialist Standard 'Mattick's book valuably locates the roots of the crisis in the nature of the capitalist system, providing a forceful counter-argument to those liberal-left commentators who have sought to blame the recent crisis on 'greedy bankers', 'neoliberalism' or other manifestations of 'excessive' capitalism, while arguing for a return to a regulated Keynesianism.' - Radical Philosophy 'This lucid and thoughtful study is not just another important contribution to the rapidly expanding literature on the current economic crisis, though it is that as well. With historical depth and penetrating analysis, it seeks to reveal what is "wrong with the mainstream approach to understanding current economic affairs" ... It provides a grimly realistic picture of what may lie ahead unless there is a radical transformation of the social order from production for profit to pursuit of human ends, based on "shared social decision-making outside the constraints of the business economy," hence a major step towards true democracy.' - Noam Chomsky 'Business as Usual is a superb achievement. In this highly accessible book, Paul Mattick offers an outstanding theoretical and empirical account of the ongoing crisis, its devastating implications for the majority, and a brilliant indictment of the failures of mainstream economics at the levels of theory and policy guidance. It also shows how and why these dismal failures should no longer deter the search for transformative alternatives.' - Alfredo Saad-Filho, SOAS, University of London 'For anyone who is unsatisfied with the usual explanations of the current economic crisis - greed and fraud, deregulation, financialization, etc. - and is looking for a deeper explanation, this book is for you. Mattick demonstrates (without jargon and with great clarity) that the root causes of the current crisis lie in the fundamental nature and dynamics of capitalist economies, and places this crisis within the illuminating historical context of recurring capitalist crises since the early 19th century.' - Fred Moseley, Professor of Economics, Mount Holyoke College 'This is a fine book. It argues against the illusion that the current crisis is just a bonfire of contingent market forces, exposes economics as the dismal science that it is, and opposes the idea that capitalism is not some sort of economic mechanism that, if expertly regulated by those in the know, works well for the benefit of all. Mattick has to be congratulated not just for writing an immensely rich account of the current crisis but, also, for doing so with immense historical insight, theoretical cunning, and astute political judgement.' - Werner Bonefeld, University of York

After months of debate, the Andover City Council decided that its new 40-acre youth athletic complex set to fully open in 2015 will be called Pine Hills North.
It took some time and compromise to come up with a name for this property on the northeast corner of 161st Avenue and Tulip Street, councilmembers said.
In the end, Pine Hills North was chosen because the Andover Park and Recreation Commission felt it would be easier for people to locate considering there has been a Pine Hills Park on the southeast corner for many years. This existing park will be renamed Pine Hills South Park.
To pay homage to history, the south field will be named Bennett Field in honor of the family who farmed this property. The two fields to the north will be named Grow East Field and Grow West Field to recognize that the city of Andover was Grow Township before 1974. All fields could be used for youth football, soccer and lacrosse.
Councilmember Mike Knight was vocal throughout the process of trying to find a person to name the park after such as a veteran, but said this was the best compromise.
"It's hard to come up with a name that does the job," Knight said.
Bennett Field
Bonnie Dehn, 65, remembers her parents Royce and Corrine Bennett planting potatoes, sweet corn, melons and squash at different times in the area where the south athletic field is that is now named after them.
"All of us kids think that is awesome," Dehn said of the city naming a field after her parents.
The old farm was actually named Pine Ridge Farm, so the park name in a way does honor its memory, she said.
"Progress is progress, but sometimes the history is forgotten. This will leave a memory for a long time," Dehn said.
The old homes that Dehn grew up in are gone, but as she trudged through the deep snow the morning of Saturday, April 5 to tour the property, she laughed and had a big smile as she recalled growing up on this farm.
Dehn is the oldest of three daughters. She also has a brother.
Their father had one strict rule for his daughters when they got to dating age. Anybody that wanted to date his daughters had to help him load his truck with produce to take to a farmers' market. If they did not help, they were not worthy to date his girls.
"You could see it in his face. He had daughters. That's why he had milk cows. He kept them busy in the morning and kept them busy at night, so they were too tired to date," Dehn said with a laugh.
Royce bought 80 acres of mostly pasture land in 1950 and turned it into the Pine Ridge Farm.
The first home they built had no central heating system, but had a parlor stove to heat the living room. This did not help when Dehn's mother wanted to dry clothes in the winter. The clothes would often freeze overnight.
She learned to cook on the stove in this old home. In her adult life, she has written two cookbooks and is working on another featuring stories from the old farm and recipes she learned as a child.
Her father was a big conservationist. Dehn can still stand up beside some well-grown evergreen trees today that she helped plant over 50 years ago. She has seen a bald eagle's nest, turkeys and sandhill cranes on the property. Many white pines, Norway spruce and Scotch pines are still around. Some of the evergreen trees were lost when the three fields were constructed.
Near the trees is an area where Dehn loves to plant rhubarb.
In the early 1960s, Royce installed a 12-inch diameter irrigation well close to 500 feet down. It was a big investment that paid off for the farm, and Dehn said the city will be able to use this same well to water the new fields.
A steep slope on the west side of the property was a great sledding hill for the Bennett children. They had good runner sleds, not plastic ones, so they could go really fast, she said.
"All the kids in the neighborhood came over to our hill because it was such a good sledding hill," Dehn said. "Dad had a silo filler at the bottom of the hill. The biggest challenge was to make sure you wouldn't run into that."
Groves of trees naturally grew on the hill over time. A second phase of the park project includes using this as a sledding hill, so Dehn imagines many of these trees will have to be cleared.
Not too far away from this sledding hill could be a disc golf course through the woods and a trail that would go next to a wetland. The second phase also includes the potential for a concession stand and bathrooms, basketball and volleyball courts, playground, park pavilion and a garage for public works equipment.
It's not too hard for Dehn to visit the property when she wants because the 102-acre Dehn's Garden farm that she and her husband Bob own is just to the north of this new city athletic complex. The property had initially been sold to Meadow Creek Christian School in 2002 to pay Corrine's medical bills before she passed away that year at the age of 75 from heart disease. Royce also died of heart disease in 1994 when he was 69 years old. The school sold the 40 acres to the city of Andover a couple of years ago so it could focus on a site in Ramsey for a new school building.
This change is causing her family to discuss the future of their farm. Bonnie and Bob's two daughters are in their mid-30s still work on the farm, but they will have to decide whether they would eventually want to buy the farm or if it should be sold. Dehn said you would have to go another 75 miles away from the metro area to find large enough tracts of farmland with good soils.
As she looked over the fields with light poles towering over it for games to be played at night, Dehn commented, "It looks different, but at the same time I'm proud of what the city has put into it. It's not going to be another tract of housing. I realize we need housing, but there's need for open spaces too."

After reading the original How not to Suck article on counting outs you should know the basics. All that's left is to sharpen those skills until they're razor sharp.
If you haven't already, check out the original article right here.
When counting outs, you need to first make a guess (hopefully it's an accurate guess) about what cards your opponent is playing.
The specifics of your opponents hand will greatly affect the number of outs you may or may not have.
Example 1
Your Hand:
How many outs do you have? Depending what you put your opponent on, you can have as few as four outs, or as many as ten.
Your straight draw is to the nuts (a nutshot as I like to call it), so unless you run into a full house or backdoor flush, you have four rock solid outs.
If you put your opponent on just a single pair, such as A♦ 9♦ , then you have ten outs (the nutshot along with any queen or jack).
Unfortunately, it's near to impossible to know what your opponent's kicker is with their 9. If they're holding J♦ 9♦, then you're down to only seven outs.
You need to take into account all situations, and play the hand accordingly. When in doubt, it's always better to assume you have the least number of outs, rather than the most. It's always a less expensive mistake to fold when you're good, than to call when you're behind.
Example 2
Your Hand:
In this hand, you span the gap from drawing dead all the way to 15 outs, depending on your opponent's cards. If your opponent has a full house (or quads), you're drawing dead or practically dead (technically you could catch running JJ or QQ for a higher full house).
If your opponent has a higher flush draw, you're drawing to 6 outs, and you have to dodge 7 hearts as well as as many as 6 higher pair outs.
If your opponent had just a pair, you're sitting with as many as 15 outs (assuming a J or Q doesn't give your opponent a better two pair).
In order to count your outs here, you're going to need a strong read on your opponent. For all the beginners out there, stick to the two following golden rules:
1. Only pay for a draw if it's a draw to the nuts.
2. Never draw to a straight or flush on a paired board.
There are times when you can ignore these rules in poker, but as a beginner you should follow them almost 100%. In the long run you're going to lose a lot of money chasing flushes on paired boards, and you're going to suffer from winning a small pot, or losing a big pot by chasing flushes, not to the ace.
In general, these are the kind of situations you want to avoid. If you can take this draw to the river for cheap, then it's still a decent hand, but it's not one to get your whole stack in play with.
Example 3
Your Hand:
In this hand you have a gutshot straight draw, and a flush draw. But how many outs do you really have? Let's look at the gutshot. Even if the board was rainbow (rather than all spades), you're drawing to a one-card sucker end of a straight.
If the 9 comes you have 8♠ 9♦ T♠ J♠ Q♠, while anyone with a king in their hand has a better straight 9-K.
If a spade comes, you're sitting with an 8-high flush, the third nut.
Really, the best out you have is the 9♠ for a straight flush, and even then the K♠ has you crushed. Your outs are effectively zero, this hand is a must fold.
When counting your outs, it's crucial to look past the outs your hand has to improve. If improving your hand will make a better hand for your opponent that out is actually an anti-out. To learn more about anti-outs head to Anti-Outs and Money Cards.

Jessica Biel will marry Justin Timberlake in a "small and intimate" wedding as the actress has decided against hosting a "great big to-do".
The pop star-turned-actor proposed to his long-term girlfriend over Christmas and reports suggest they will tie the knot before the end of this year.
Biel has now revealed they won't be having a big, lavish wedding, and they will probably keep the nuptials secret.
"I do know that it's not going to be a great big to-do," she told Britain's Hello! magazine. "This will be a very private moment for us, so we're going to keep it small and intimate."
The A-Team star also admits she would like to emulate British actress Emily Blunt, who married The Office star John Krasinski at a small ceremony in Italy in 2010.
She added: "The people I'd most like us to be like are Emily Blunt and John Krasinski - it seemed like one day they were engaged and the next day they were married and nobody had known anything about it. And I did at the time think, 'Aha! That's the way to do it.'"
Biel also spoke to the magazine about her split from Timberlake last year.
The relationship came to an end in March last year but the stars continued to spend time together and the romance was back on by June, 2011.
"I needed to be alone for a while. I think that when you take the time to stand by yourself as an independent person, and you find out that you actually are capable of moving forward alone and being fine on your own, then it is a very empowering feeling to have.
"It gives you a lot of strength, a lot of confidence, too, because it means you know that ... any decision you make is an educated one, not just an emotional one. So you make your own choice about whether to step back into a relationship or whether to go in a different direction."

About 20 km. outside Copenhagen, in the suburban hell of Nærum, he sits with his face plastered to the glossy screen, while the neighbors and the communal sewage, slowly begins its day in the early morning hours, and spreading its fumes all the way the the small apartment. The neighbors are racing out their doors going to work, while a new noise complain finds its way to the mail to the young producers mailbox. The work routine continues.
In the small smoky room there is being played ambient and dramatic power electro out of the studio speakers, backed by a thick and noise wall and tight programmings.
Control and intensity is not to be overlooked the Rumle sound universe.
Rumle has with his many years of interest in electronic music added several genres and ideas into his music, including jazz, classical music and funk. In a six-month course, he has worked with the danish artist Spejderrobot, who has served as a mentor and adviser in a process that became a big help to Rumle as an upcoming artist in the Danish electronic music community. In cooperation with the Spejderrobot, during the time the was made contact with among others Troels Abrahamsen, who was also a big help on the road.
"The music is based on emptiness, a feeling of doubt, the ego and belief in man. My home town provides the basis for most tracks, but elements from foreign places and cultures that form a strong contrast to small Nærum, you will also find the music."
Besides himself to write music that both produce and remixer Rumble also for other promising artists.

Printing Iron-on Transfers
Store all photo paper in a cool, dry place and keep it sealed as long as possible to preserve its quality. This is truer for iron-on transfer paper than other paper because you need to protect not only the surface of the paper but also the state of the adhesive that bonds the iron-on to the shirt fabric after ironing. Keep your transfer paper stored properly and especially avoid exposure to heat and sun that can degrade the adhesive.
If you haven't printed an iron-on sheet recently, you'll be surprised at how similar the feel of the paper is to regular matte photo paper. Quality iron-on transfers reproduce photos almost as well as regular photo paper and don't lose quality when heated and adhered to a T-shirt.
Printing an iron-on is similar to printing any photo. It works best when you select the appropriate paper in your printer's preferences dialog box. The following steps reflect the process of creating an iron-on photo with HP's iron-on transfer paper. HP's iron-on transfer paper includes tissue cover sheets (one per iron-on). You place the tissue between the iron and the transfer during ironing. The cover tissue not only protects the photo during the transfer process but can also be used with a warm iron to revive colors. Other iron-on sets (for example, Print 'n' Press from Wal-Mart) don't come with cover sheets for ironing. If that's the case with your particular iron-on kit, ignore my directions that relate to the cover tissue.
1. Select which photo you want to print and prepare it for printing. Figure 9-4 shows a photo project from Chapter 3 that will be printed on a T-shirt.
|Don't Overcompensate
When you prepare photos for printing on a T-shirt, don't overcompensate for the dullness or faded coloring you might expect after the transfer is complete. If you oversharpen an image or apply too much contrast, it will look unnatural on the shirt.
2. From your image editor, select File@@>Print and click Properties in the Print dialog box to access your printer's properties.
3. Choose the paper type recommended by the iron-on manufacturer, as shown in Figure 9-5 .
4. In the printer properties dialog box, choose "best quality" in the print quality list or follow the directions that came with your transfer paper for selecting the quality.
5. Place only one sheet of iron-on paper in your printer. Follow the icons on your printer to determine if the sheet should have the print surface facing up or down. The print surface is plain; it's the backing that has the image on it.
|Remove (and Save) the Cover Sheet Before Printing!
If your iron-on paper comes with tissue cover sheets, don't place the cover sheet in your printer. This sheet is for ironing purposes only.
