All the chips seem to be at the same table
The two largest chip stakes in the tournament have now been moved to the same table. Padriag Parkinson and Flipper Walsh would be the 2 largest chip stakes left in the UKIPT Galway, both with over 160k in chips.
Their is a few other big stacks at that table also, which makes Bob Elkin's stack of 65k look short, yet he still has over 50 big blinds and is about 7k above average. Who knows what going to happen at this table. Especially considering Padriag is at the table.

Like you, Business owner and marketing anthropologist Danielle Renken has seen the word success defined numerous ways over the years. Is it charisma and positive thinking? Pinstripes and red power ties? Decisiveness? Is it all about the situation? Is it meant only for the chosen few who rise to the top? Or, is there a different story?
With over two decades of marketing research, strategic planning, tactical operations, and most importantly, real-life, in-the-trenches business experience, her view is radically different. Danielle appreciates, and shares with listeners, that success is a moment-to-moment choice and not about title, tenure or position. Success is for everyone, everyday. It's how we should live our life. Danielle's passion to support the potential in each business owner to succeed and develop right-size marketing strategies and techniques led to the emergence of Strategy Revolution.

The luxurious Hotel Royal re-opens at the French shores of Lake Geneva
- Published by Ozgur Tore
The luxurious Hotel Royal, the Grande Dame of the Evian Resort, proudly announces its grand re-opening on 01 July 2014.
The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, which sees the entire 6th floor transformed into stunning suites. The renovation also includes the addition of a new conference centre as well as new meeting rooms. Public areas within the Hotel Royal have also been remodelled and restored in keeping with the traditional Belle Epoque style of this much loved and celebrated property which boasts incredible views over Lake Geneva.
Celebrated designer, François Champsaur, and historic monuments' chief architect, François Chatillon, supervised the re-designing, creation and re-styling of the Hotel Royal, working with the space and natural light each area and room presents on an individual basis. This has led to the creation of a fresh, modern look, whilst continuing to embody the hotel's traditional "Belle Époque" style whilst introducing a contemporary feel. Bespoke furniture along with a unique array of fabrics completes the grand-scale renovation.
Luxury and tradition make a perfect match with the final touches added to a new style of living, in order to meet the demands of the guests staying at this opulent 5-star hotel. Rooms will start from €610 for a double room on a bed and breakfast basis. Prices for the Suites start from €1827 for accommodation only, based on double occupancy and for any reservation 45 days before the arrival date.
The Hotel Royal epitomises the word 'grandeur'. A few of the Hotel's well-known guests include the Aga Khan, Queen Elizabeth 11 and actor Errol Flynn.

Crochet Kanzashi Flower
This pattern is available for free.
This is a crochet version of the traditional ribbon Hana Kanzashi flowers from Japan. I wanted to replicate the beautiful satin ribbon hair ornaments Japanese women wear in their hair using yarn and a crochet hook. The flower is 3D (3 dimensional) but is nice and flat on the back, so it attaches easily to hats, scarves, handbags and more.
Free pattern (link below) with a YouTube tutorial.

» Frequently Asked QuestionsIt occurred to us somewhere along the line that you may have some questions about Shipbucket. The following is a list of the questions that seem to be asked the most on the forum.
1. What is Shipbucket?Shipbucket is a collective group effort to compile a database of ship profiles (drawings) primarily of real life naval vessels depicted in a common style and at a common scale of 2 pixels to 1 foot.
It was created by a growing community of naval-enthusiast volunteers. The group is generally open to anyone who wants to contribute highly-accurate and detailed line drawings of the world's naval vessels (of any time period) in a uniform scale and style. It's a huge task, and that's why we need all of you.
2. What is the Shipbucket Forum?The shipbucket forum is a place for all the shipbucket artists to present our work for critique before they are placed on the actual shipbucket site. The forum is for passing ideas and thoughts around and to improve the whole concept behind the drawings.
3. How do you draw a Shipbucket style ship?Anyone can draw one. We only expect that you follow the shipbucket style and quality standards.
Shipbucket drawings do not require any additional software other than plain MS Paint. However, you can use other programs as well, such as Adobe Photoshop, Paint.NET, or GIMP. It does require patience, accuracy, and devotion... not to mention interest and at least a basic knowledge of ships.
4. What are all these sub-folders for?Each sub-folder is a different section of the site. Real life drawings are kept in the (yep, you guessed it) Real Designs folder, while Alternate Universe designs are kept in the Alternate Universe section, etc.
A quick explanation of each album:
- Real Designs - Drawings of ships which exist or have existed at some point in history.
- Alternate Universe - Ships which only exist in an 'alternate universe' setting.
- Never Built Designs - Ships which were designed, but never built (also known as 'never-weres').
- Ship Charts - Large charts of similar ships, organized by different characteristics.
- Parts Sheets - Different sheets of guns, radars, missiles, helicopters, aircraft, etc. that can be used to draw ships.
5. What's meant by "style rules and standards"?Since Shipbucket's goal is to provide a huge database of uniformly scaled and styled drawings, we require that all images keep to the Style Rules and Standards qualifications. If your art is unable to meet these qualifications, your drawing will not be uploaded.
The forum is a good place to test out Shipbucket style drawings. Members will assist you in bringing your drawing up to par with the rest, so don't be discouraged.

BTW, on the triage topic - we (Fedora this time :>) used to have Francois Cami in the Bugzappers, who more or less exclusively worked on triaging radeon bugs, which was a great help.

text: does anyone know the spec for how hot the battery can get in flight without it being a concern? I know Lipos normally have a limit of around 60c. mine were 61c yesterday just after flight......... and they didnt come out of the overheated protection mode for at least 2 hours when left in the shade and with a couple of fans passing air through the box they were in. Does anyone have any experience here? I might have to make an UBER cooling box for them to cool them down in a more reasonable time. otherwise to do a couple of hours work is going to mean having a shed load of batteries on hand.

What if our beliefs were not what divided us, but what pulled us together? In Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom offers a beautifully written story of a remarkable eight-year journey between two worlds - two men, two faiths, two communities - that will inspire listeners everywhere. Albom's first nonfiction book since Tuesdays with Morrie, Have a Little Faith begins with an unusual request: an 82-year-old rabbi from Albom's old hometown asks him to deliver his eulogy. Feeling unworthy, Albom insists on understanding the man better, which throws him back into a world of faith he'd left years ago.Meanwhile, closer to his current home, Albom becomes involved with a Detroit pastor - a reformed drug dealer and convict - who preaches to the poor and homeless in a decaying church with a hole in its roof.Moving between their worlds, Christian and Jewish, African-American and white, impoverished and well-to-do, Albom observes how these very different men employ faith similarly in fighting for survival: the older, suburban rabbi embracing it as death approaches; the younger, inner-city pastor relying on it to keep himself and his church afloat.As America struggles with hard times and people turn more to their beliefs, Albom and the two men of God explore issues that perplex modern man: how to endure when difficult things happen; what heaven is; intermarriage; forgiveness; doubting God; and the importance of faith in trying times. Although the texts, prayers, and histories are different, Albom begins to recognize a striking unity between the two worlds - and indeed, between beliefs everywhere.In the end, as the rabbi nears death and a harsh winter threatens the pastor's wobbly church, Albom sadly fulfills the rabbi's last request and writes the eulogy. And he finally understands what both men had been teaching all along: the profound comfort of believing in something bigger than yourself.More

100k Cocaine Bologna
January 30, 2012 by staff
100k Cocaine Bologna, Drug traffickers may have found a new use for a humble lunch meat. A man has been arrested after a kilogram of cocaine hidden inside a hollowed-out chunk of bologna was delivered to his home.
Puerto Rico postal inspectors tipped off police in Holyoke, Massachusetts about the contraband cold cuts, say police. A dog confirmed the presence of drugs in the bologna, and it was cut open.
The meat was then repackaged, and an undercover postal inspector delivered it to a Holyoke address at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday. A woman sitting on the front steps signed for it.
Police then executed a search warrant and arrested a 30-year-old man on a cocaine trafficking charge.
Police say the cocaine had a street value of $100,000; the bologna's street value is probably significantly less than that.

HP Now the Top PC Vendor In U.S., World
Both IDC and Gartner, in separate reports, said that Dell had lost significant market share from a year ago, while HP's low-priced consumer notebooks propelled it to the top spot within the United States for the first time since 2001.
In a positive sign for the industry, Gartner said that 15.3 million PCs were sold within the U.S. during the first quarter, a slight 0.3 percent decline from a year ago. IDC pegged the number at 15.0 million, which it said was a 3.1 percent dip from the same period. But PC shipments dipped by 10.2 percent in the EMEA region to 22.7 million units, the first time that region had seen a double-digit decline.
The auspicious U.S. results would seem to bear out statements made by Intel chief executive Paul Otellini, who reported Monday that the PC industry had reached a bottom and had returned to predictable trends. Gartner analyst George Shiffler cautioned, however, that the growth could have derived from the channel restocking itself, and said it was too early to tell if the global market had reached a low point.
The worry, however, is that the unexpectedly strong unit growth won't be backed up by dollar revenues. Both Gartner and IDC found that the unit growth was built on the strength of low-cost mobile PCs designed for consumers, which typically sell for hundreds of dollars, rather than over a thousand.
"Low-priced mobile PCs led market growth in the U.S. Mini notebooks did well in the challenging economic environment where consumers' number one priority was to save money," said Mikako Kitagawa, a principal analyst at Gartner, in a statement. "Mini notebooks continued to put pressure on low priced mobile PCs. This pressure was mainly felt in the consumer market, but it expanded into select professional markets as well, including the education segment. U.S. mobile PC ASPs likely will decline as much as 20 percent year-over-year in first quarter 2009. Overall, end user spending on PCs is likely to have contracted in the upper teens in first quarter 2009 compared to a year ago."
Both firms said that Dell suffered from a weak professional market and tough retail competition. Within the worldwide market, HP easily held onto its top spot, with 13.3 million shipments and 19.8 percent of the market, according to Gartner. IDC placed HP even higher, at 20.5 percent. Gartner placed Dell and Acer in a virtual dead heat for the second and third rankings, with Dell's 8.79 million units sold just a few thousand over the 8.76 million Gartner claimed Acer sold. In market share, the difference worked out to 13.1 percent and 13.0 percent, respectively. IDC said, however, that Dell more handily beat Acer, selling 8.65 million units (13.6 percent market share) to Acer's 7.33 million units (11.6 percent market share).
Both Gartner and IDC said that Lenovo and Toshiba finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in worldwide shipments.
Within the United States, though, HP shone. The two firms differed on how well HP performed; IDC said that HP recorded 12.2 percent unit growth, year-over-year, while Gartner claimed that HP grew 11.1 percent.
Within the United States, HP sold 4.23 million units according to Gartner (27.7 percent market share) versus 3.996 million units for Dell (26.2 percent market share), almost identical to IDC's results. In both tallies, Dell slipped about 16.2 percent in unit sales from year to year.
Acer sold 2.07 million PCs, recording 13.6 percent market share, according to Gartner. Apple notched 1.14 million PCs, or 7.4 percent. Toshiba came in fifth with just over 1 million PCs or 6.6 percent market share.
"Tight credit and economic concerns have certainly taken a toll on PC shipments in the last couple quarters, but the move to portables, fueled by mini notebooks and falling prices, has mitigated the impact," said Loren Loverde, program director for IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker, in a statement. "Following a drawdown in inventory throughout the supply chain, we expect more stable production over the next couple quarters, with growth returning around the end of the year."

London Metropolitan University
Secondary Education (Mathematics)
The course emphasises teaching mathematics from 11-16 years with opportunities to develop A-Level teaching. It draws on current debates in mathematics and aims to develop classroom practices that are engaging and contribute to the raising of standards and participation in mathematics. Course contributors are drawn from across the spectrum and alumni, who are now working in schools, to develop a course in which students regularly gain work as teaches across London. This course will lead to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with Qualified Teacher Status whether you apply to London Met for PGCE or through the PGCE School Direct at London Met application process. Please see the How to Apply section for the UCAS Provider details of our partner schools.
Entry requirements
UK degree grade 2.2 or equivalent, GCSE English grade C or above (or equivalent), GCSE maths grade C or above (or equivalent), GCSE science grade C or above (or equivalent). A valid Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure certificate and confirmation of fitness to teach (London Metropolitan University health check). You will be advised to apply for these after an offer is made. All applicants must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language.
Course modules
It focuses on the developing a repertoire of interactive teaching styles including ICT and group work. Students consider all aspects of the maths curriculum before starting school placements and start with a comprehensive set of teaching resources. This is supplemented by a range of distance learning platforms which mean they are well supported when in schools. The course structure provides for increasing amounts of school-based work with a gradual progression to whole-class teaching, with responsibility for management and assessment of pupils increasing accordingly. During the year, attendees will have 2 substantial periods of school experience in different secondary schools. They will also spend 2 days in a primary school, which attendees must arrange themselves. University-based work involves a variety of learning activities. Lectures and workshops provide formal opportunities to extend subject knowledge and explore the principles of effective teaching. Workshops will provide opportunities to reflect on and discuss experiences in school, and to learn from one another.
Assessment methods
Practical teaching experience across two placements is assessed in relation to the Standards for Qualified Teacher Status. Students complete a number of formative assignments aimed at developing their knowledge of teaching and learning in Citizenship. These will help make up a Professional Practice portfolio, which is compiled across the year and details your personal experiences and reflections on your development as a teacher, largely in relation to your practical teaching experience. These formative assignments lead to a synoptic piece of writing focusing on teaching, learing and curriculum development in Citizenship. In the last weeks of teaching practice, students will be given time to complete an educational research assignment focusing on broader issues and policies related to Citizenship and education.

Who's That Girl?
de Josee Tellier
Acerca del libro
An overview of my Blythe doll's colourful wardrobe, full of prints, recycled fur, shoes & boots! A personal photography project that turned a rainy weekend into a fun, girly one.
Thanks to Gina Garan, the inspiration for this project. Many talented ladies on Etsy made this wardrobe possible, like the wonderful hilarywagstaff, minkidynamite, grrrliedesigns or godesia, just to name a few.

World War III was a brief but devastating incident beginning on 3rd March, 1995 and finishing on 13th March, 1995 with two "minor" nuclear exchanges in Asia and North Africa. There were millions of immediate deaths and millions more in the following months and years. Death and illness continues. It is also known as the "Third World War" because it occurred entirely in the Third World.
In the early Caroline Era, the United States, Soviet Union, China and associated power blocs tied underwent a series of negotiations which tied them into reducing their nuclear arsenals somewhat. Although this reduced the risk of nuclear war between them, a number of nations were not included in these treaties but were nonetheless under the influence of one or other power bloc, and the now more surreptitious enmity between the superpowers was then expressed through the secret development of nuclear weapons.
It had been found that Israel had enough plutonium for about 150 nuclear weapons, and this seems to have provoked other Arab countries to manufacture their own, but nothing was revealed officially.
By the start of the second decade of the era, there were a number of potential flashpoints around the world, notably in the Koreas, between India and Pakistan and between Israel and its neighbouring nations. Israel claimed land in adjacent territories including the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt and Jordan.
In February 1995, six Middle Eastern nations (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Libya, Sa`udi Arabia and the Lebanon) issued an ultimatum to Israel that unless it withdrew from the territories concerned by 2nd March, a joint invasion would be mounted.
Demonstrations broke out in the developed world and a general strike began to be organised in several European countries and Canada. The authorities in these countries responded by imposing a state of emergency and martial law, and arresting and incarcerating a number of groups, including trade unionists, members of the peace movement, activists in a number of minority political parties and people involved in various pressure groups.
Despite diplomatic efforts, this occurred and Israel was invaded on 2nd March, leading to a mass exodus from Israel though many still remained. The Israeli government gave the troops two days to withdraw without specifying the consequences of non-compliance. The deadline passed and on 4th March, Israel launched a number of nuclear missiles on the capitals and other major cities of the nations concerned, including Mecca and Medina, provoking the launch of missiles against Israel. This devastated all major cities in the nations involved.
As this exchange took place, the Indian and Pakistani missile detection systems appear to have detected a false positive launch towards them and simultaneously launched their own arsenals against each other. Millions more people died in the Subcontinent than in the Middle East.
The result was the complete destruction of the nations of Libya, Egypt, Israel, the Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Sa`udi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and Pakistan, and considerable devastation in India and Iran, which suffered damage from both incidents.
Once this had been detected, in an unprecedented move, the US and USSR worked together to defuse the situation and also jointly and quietly invaded North Korea.
The War officially ended on 13th March 1995, though there were no real victors. Of all the nations involved, the only one to survive was India, North Korea having been forcibly united with the South.
14th February 1995 - Egypt, Syria, the Lebanon, Jordan, Sa`udi Arabia and Libya issue an ultimatum to Israel to withdraw from the occupied territories by 2nd March or be invaded.
15th February - Israel issues a statement refusing to comply.
22nd February - Trade Unions in the West attempt to impose a general strike to prevent nuclear war. Western governments impose martial law and internment for people regarded as subversive. Funds of trade unions and many pressure groups are sequestered, notably CND. Parliaments are dissolved and replaced by war cabinets, but the FK nations retain sovereignty.
2nd March - The six Arab nations invade Israel. Israel government issue a brief statement telling them to withdraw.
3rd March - After several days of protest in European prisons, FK governments opt to sedate prisoners. This policy is pursued for two years until the prisoners are released.
4th March - Israel launches missiles at Cairo, Alexandria, Tripoli, Riyadh, Mecca, Medina, Damascus, Amman, Beirut, Baghdad and a number of other cities and military installations. In return, missiles are launched against Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. This event triggers off an early warning system in Pakistan, which proceeds to launch missiles against Mumbai, New Delhi, Amritsar, Calcutta and various other northern Indian population centres, and in turn Indian missiles are triggered against Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. In spite of the absence of an immediate cause of conflict between India and Pakistan and the fact that the exchange was completely accidental, the casualties and damage in the Subcontinent are far worse than in the rest of the Asian and African nations.
Immediate casualties from blast and heat: Africa and Middle East - 24 million; Pakistan - 23 million; India - 64 million. Many deaths from severe burns and smoke inhalation injuries. Fallout enters bunkers.
5th March - Fires still burning fiercely in all areas affected by missiles. Fallout spreads into southern Sahara and across Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Southern Spain, then crosses Atlantic and affects Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico and Texas to a lesser degree. Iran is affected by both conflagrations, but is not directly involved in the exchange. Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Tibet and Bhutan also affected.
12th March - All food now controlled by representatives of central governments. Governments decide not to waste food on those who will die of radiation sickness, as this would be a waste. Starving mobs start to attempt to break into food stores and raid each others' houses.
13th March - War officially over.
15th March - Nuclear winter sets in in Asian and African areas affected and also brings down the temperature less severely elsewhere. Directly affected areas suffer a temperature drop of 25 C. Governments start to shoot and gas looters on sight.
21st March - Mandatory death penalties have now been imposed for all crime in the countries concerned.
26th March - Cholera, dysentery and typhoid epidemics raging. Dogs and wild animals are eating corpses. All able-bodied people are expected to report for reconstruction duties. Corpses cannot be disposed of due to lack of fuel. In a few places, Towers of Silence are used. There are a total of about 220 million undisposed bodies in the area.
9th April - People leave the cities, deaths from fallout approaching a peak, unknown radiation hazards in the countryside.
15th April - Many people have broken halal and kosher dietary codes by this stage, and in India some vegetarians have eaten meat, including beef.
July - 460 million deaths by now from blast, heat, fallout, famine and disease.
Autumn 1995 - Harvest severely depleted, brought in largely by manual labour. Almost everyone working on the land.
Winter 1995-6: One of the most severe winters in the Northern Hemisphere on record. Many young and old people die of hypothermia, particularly in the war areas, which become known as The Gash.
Spring 1996: Most Muslims, Jews and Hindus in the area have broken dietary codes, except in Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina, which are starting to become places of pilgrimage again.
Autumn 1996: More food available but more reliance on manual labour due to lack of oil. Pesticides and fertilisers restricted in Eurasia, and absent in Middle East, North Africa and Northern India.
1997 - Jewish diaspora build domed colonies along Eastern Mediterranean coast, and Mecca and Medina are recolonised.
2001 - Population of entire area has fallen to a stable level of around 48 million from a previous level of 666 million.
2005 - Many people adult at the time of the war in area have died of cancer.
2008 - A whole generation of children are congenitally mentally and physically disabled and unable to recreate a viable industrial society in the area. The level of technology is like that of mediaeval Europe, except in Northern India and in the domed colonies on the Eastern Mediterranean coast, Mecca and Medina. A few domed colonies also exist in India.
All of the involved countries except India and Korea are uninhabitable except with considerable radiation shielding to the present day and are expected to be so for many centuries to come. There is also a fair amount of damage to neighbouring territories, in particular Iran. Again, only India still exists as a nation and the land concerned is uninhabited with the exception of the new nation of Zion established in 1997 along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and temporary settlements in Mecca.
There was some effort to rescue the victims by the Red Cross, Red Crescent and various refugee aid organisations along with the UN and various military forces, but most victims died within a few weeks of radiation sickness. Surviving refugees were allowed to settle in some countries, mainly other Arab nations, and the Israeli citizens who had left before the outbreak of war initially settled mainly in North America and Western Europe, though in 1997 a few returned to the region to establish Zion.
A major result of the war was complete multilateral nuclear disarmament with effective international monitoring by the United Nations in concert with the US and USSR. This also had the consequence that nuclear rockets and other space activities are now under international control rather than any individual nations or alliances.

Jericho Oil Corporation says that gross daily production from its Eastern Kansas oil producing acreage averaged approximately 118 barrels of oil per day in September 2014 with cumulative monthly production exceeding 3500 barrels.
This represents an increase in production of approximately 130% since Jericho recommenced trading on the TSX Venture on March 25, 2014.
Allen Wilson, CEO of Jericho Oil, stated, "Having drilled less than 10% of our acreage, we look forward to continuing our development efforts in the region and building on this early success in the near term. Our recently announced Phase II Development Program is expected to further strengthen our production profile and cash flow."

The Samsung Galaxy S6 rumour mill isn't dying anytime soon, as more details flying around the internet following the arrival in March 2015.
Apparently, rumours have it that the new flagship smartphone from Samsung will be featuring a clean looking TouchWiz UI. It's said that the new version will feature an improved UI, just like a user interface (UI) seen on the Nexus 6.
Recommended: Microsoft Enters Low-End Smartphone segment, launches Lumia 435 and Lumia 532
The published report out of Korea claims that the firm is planning to remove unpopular and unnecessary apps from the TouchWiz UI to "reduce the capacity of system memory." As per the new site, the necessary measures will notably improve its function by strengthening core features and eliminating unnecessary ones.
An industry source quoted as saying, "We are aiming to get rid of unnecessary functions and simplify our UI at the level of Google's Nexus 6."
This news comes in from a Korean source, and there is no way to confirm this for now, but there's no reason we can't speculate on what we hear from these unconfirmed reports.
Well, to be honest, the details are pretty scarce to say the least, but we'll know for sure in the coming weeks what Samsung is cooking behind its closed closets.
Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!

No surprises, just excitement for the Maryland basketball team, which officially announced the expected signings of Damonte Dodd and Roddy Peters, both of whom inked their national letters of intent Wednesday afternoon to join the Terrapins' recruiting class of 2013, which currently ranks 21st nationally, according to 247sports.com.
Following up the stellar incoming class of current freshmen, featuring Seth Allen, Shaquille Cleare, Jake Layman and Charles Mitchell, Dodd and Peters give the Terps an inside-out combo of local products, further bolstering the already impressive recruiting resume that Coach Mark Turgeon and his staff have assembled since arriving in College Park.
Peters, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound prospect from Suitland High, is consistently ranked by multiple scouting services among the top 10 point guards nationally. He played AAU for DC Assault under Eddie Jordan, and averaged 25 points and seven assists for the Rams during his junior season. Peters, whose recruitment was spearheaded by Maryland assistant Dalonte Hill, saw his national profile rise over the summer, when he picked up offers from UCLA, Kansas and Georgetown, among others.
"Roddy is a loyal young man who could have left public high school and attended a prep school — but he wanted to play at Suitland with his teammates," Rams Coach George McClure said in a Maryland press release. "He understands the importance of getting an outstanding education and he will do well academically. Roddy is the best high school player that I have seen in the open court — not just the best player that I have coached in the open court — but that I have watched play. His skill set will be unique to Maryland and will be a benefit when he is in the open court."
A lifelong Terps fan who idolized the 2002 national championship team, Peters figures to slot nicely next year into the Maryland backcourt alongside Allen, Pe'Shon Howard and Nick Faust.
"Roddy is a great kid and comes from a great family," Turgeon said in the release. "He's a great example of us trying to keep the best local players home at Maryland. Roddy loves Maryland and we recruit that — kids that love it here and really want to be here. He has excellent court vision, a great feel for the game and his length at his position is a great asset. He's an unselfish basketball player that is all about winning."
Dodd, who attended Queen Anne's County High School before taking a prep year this fall at Massanutten Military Academy, committed to Maryland in February. A strong shot-blocker at 6-9 and 240 pounds, Dodd averaged 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven blocks as a senior, setting Queen Anne's County records in consecutive years for rebounds and blocks. Like Peters, he played under Jordan with the DC Assault.
"The coaching staff [at Maryland] is like a family and they really look after their guys," Dodd said. "Ultimately, everyone wants to make it to the NBA but they really emphasized getting your education, and that's something that's very important to me. You never know what happens, so my education is my first priority and the University of Maryland is a great school."
Dodd, who was recruited by Maryland assistant Scott Spinelli, decided to remain close to home for college, and will add another big body to the Terps' already deep frontcourt, which will only graduate senior James Padgett.
"Damonte will be fun to coach and he really has big upside," Turgeon said. "He plays extremely hard and he strives to get better every day. He's almost 6-foot-10 and still growing. He runs, rebounds, and blocks shots, and his best years on the basketball court are ahead of him. He fits the mold of who we recruit as an unselfish and good kid."

On Tuesday a group of commissioners from Dallas County passed a Juneteenth resolution that commemorated the day that slaves in Texas earned their freedom, but unbeknown to most of the board it included much more. In addition to commemorating Juneteenth, the resolution declared that black people should receive reparations for slavery, which ended over a century ago.
According to Breitbart, Commissioner John Wiley Price authored the resolution, which included a list of items besides recognizing that historic day.
The Dallas Morning News reported that "it included a long list of injustices endured by blacks, from slavery to Jim Crow to predatory lending practices. Then, in its final paragraph, it declared that the suffering of African-Americans should be 'satisfied with monetary and substantial reparations.'"
Price apparently wrote the resolution after he read an article from The Atlantic that outlined why America should pay reparations to black people. He then read the entire resolution aloud at the meeting as the other commissioners looked on in disbelief since they had never heard the language prior to then.
Unfortunately, they passed it anyways and then an hour after the event complained that they hadn't seen the language in it. The only Republican on the commissioner's court later changed his vote to abstention as well.
Even though nobody had heard the controversial language in the resolution, they decided to keep the resolution, and the language, as it was passed.

Five-Point Inspection: 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium Manual
Ready for Action
Subaru is synonymous with two things: all-wheel drive and boxer engines. Like Newton's laws of motion these truths can never be broken (shut up about the BRZ; you're ruining my analogy!). Following Fuji Heavy Industries' tried-and-true formula the 2014 Forester is hauled around by a horizontally opposed four-cylinder powerplant and features a system that sends power to all four corners.
SEE ALSO: 2014 Subaru Forester Full Review
The company's famous Symmetrical all-wheel-drive technology splits torque evenly between the front and rear axles. On models equipped with a manual transmission it features a viscous coupling and a locking center differential. This hardware can shuffle power from wheels that slip to ones that grip, quickly and without the driver ever noticing. Toss in nearly 9 inches of ground clearance and the Forester should be quite capable off road.

There's a couple of ways, one is to inflate the mattress and just feel around to see if you can find the leak. Another is to use baby powder after you've inflated it, the air escaping will blow the powder up. It's messy but does work. The first method usually works best. Most air mattresses leak along the seams or around the hole where you inflate it. I would check that hole and make sure the valve is completely intact. Sometimes on cheaper beds that valve wears out or stretches out over time. I worked for a sporting goods store for many years and have come across this many times!
For fixing it. If the leak is along a seam then I'd use duct tape, they even make colored tapes now if you wanted to match the mattress. If it's something in the valve area. I'd probably just get a new mattress most of them are on sale this time of year. In fact I just got a twin size one for my daughter for $7 on clearance at a chain store!
If you do end up getting a new one, the old "flat" has lots of uses. I cut the vinyl off of one to make the bottoms of dog beds for our labs. I also have an old one in the back of the Suburban to protect the carpeting! (08/24/2005)
You could make a soap water mixture and spray where you think it might be leaking. It'll make bubbles where the air escapes. (08/24/2005)
Another thought is using an incense. Get the stick format and wave the smoke from the incense around the area of choice. Smoke is great for air leak detection. (06/14/2006)
By Jon
I've discovered a much better way of detecting leaks in air mattresses, that does not involve getting anything wet, or making a mess. Get a thin sheet of tissue paper, the kind you use for wrapping gifts. Make sure the room is relatively quiet and the mattress is full. Lay the tissue paper on the mattress and let it rest. If the hole is under the paper, it will make a very audible hissing noise. If you don't hear any hissing after a few seconds, move the paper to cover another area.
Flip the mattress over and try the other side. Then stand the mattress up on its edges and cover the edge with the paper, moving and rotating until you have covered the whole mattress. For the corners, just hold the paper in place in a way that tightly covers the corner. I had an expensive air mattress with built-in pump and velvet top with a hole it it, so we didn't want to use water or soap on half of the mattress, and none of the other methods worked. Tissue paper made the tiny hole quite obvious even on the corner of the mattress. One small patch later (patch kit came with the mattress) and the mattress works perfectly, no need to get an expensive replacement. (11/16/2007)
By Brian
Just fill an ordinary spray bottle with a few drops of dish soap and some water, and spray. Inflate it, and bubbles will appear. I found several in mine that way. (02/18/2008)
Nothing worked except to fill the mattress with water. Actually, I didn't even get the mattress full of water before I found the leak. (08/22/2008)
By Shane Clark
Brian, tissue paper, worked great! found the whole no water, no soap, no mess. Awesome! (09/16/2008)
By Mary Ellen
I usually air up the mattress, then I turn off everything that makes a loud sound. Once it's quiet, I follow the hissing sound that the mattress makes when air is seeping out of it. Usually that sound leads me to the hole. (11/14/2008)
By Herm0sa
Fill around 1/2 gallon of water into deflated mattress. Next, with water still inside, fill mattress completely with air, and plug it up.
Next, move mattress to a very dry area and wipe down outside of mattress with a towel. Next, rotate the mattress, and shake it, so the water inside hits every part of mattress.
Next, completely examine outside of mattress for wet spots. There's your hole! :) (12/01/2008)
Brian's method worked awesome! I didn't have tissue paper so I used foil and I found the leak super quick without any mess whatsoever. Thank you! (12/30/2008)
By cjb
I just did a search to get some help with problem. I saw tons of posts about water and powder and I did not want to get into all of that. Then I saw the one about the tissue paper. Worked like a charm. It took me less than a minute to find the leak. I patched it and now we are back in business. Thanks! (01/08/2009)

I believe the article is referring to those that miss the company of others. Those that are lonely. There is a definite difference in being alone and being lonely. Solitude can be a very happy and relaxing place. I, for one, love my time alone and my time with people.
As for who is more susceptible to loneliness, men or women? I would venture to say, like everything else, the statistics will show more women. That is only because men are not as likely to admit they are lonely, just as they are not as likely to admit they are depressed, suffer from panic attacks etc. When men suffer from these conditions they are affected more severly than women because they involve their "ego."

Old News - Newsletter March 2003
Well, I am about a week into my new job. It's not very
exciting so far, as I am just reading documentation
and manuals – really stupefying stuff.
I'm working with a slightly odd bunch of people, although they're quite fun. Have you ever wondered what happened to the pale soft-bodied nerds in class who spent all their spare time playing computer games and watching Buffy? Well, they've grown up into balding pale soft-bodied blokes, who spend all their free time playing computer games online and watching Buffy DVDs, and work with me during the day. (And my line manager has worn a purple shirt every day since I started – I'm not sure what that means, but no-one else has mentioned it so I don't know if I should!) The first hour of each day seems to be devoted to rehashing gaming strategy and last night's kills, and the rest of the day involves a lot of non-pc banter. I'm not sure when work gets done, but anyway. At least everyone seems happy, which is a huge change from the last place I worked! My work is in one of those soulless business parks, but the pretty little village of Theale is very close by, and the Kennet and Avon Canal is 10 min away. I had a lovely walk along it yesterday at lunchtime.
Hmm what else? I have just worked out my budget taking into account my drop in income, and realised with horror that I'll be netting £300 less per month, and now my rent is more than a third of that amount. So my recreation is going to involve low-cost pursuits if possible from now on. I have just joined the local Rambling association and intend to go along on one of their Sunday walks very soon. Hopefully this will help me meet some locals (who actually step away from the computer sometimes). The days are getting longer, and the clocks change at the end of the month and then I will have enough daylight after work to do some walking or cycling or gardening or sketching (I struggle to draw by artificial light). I was thinking of signing up for lessons in something, but now I am broke!
There is a direct train from where I work in Theale to Paddington and it takes an hour, so if any Londoners are planning stuff during the week give me a shout. I may not be able to afford to come every time, but I will try! And if anyone fancies a breath of country air you have a standing invite – bring your walking shoes!

Hey everyone,
This question is directed at middle/high school girls and I suppose a few college girls too. It's pretty much all in the title, but I don't think I'm wrong when I say there are more high school bullies with a girl around then kids who endure their abuse. I know that girls have impulses that are purely superficial just as guys do, and bullies tend to be "hotter," and when girls turn into women the nerd gets the girl, but what's so hot about a jackass? I mean I guess it makes sense in the animal world because the alpha "bullies" the others to the top of the pecking order, but we're not animals.
What do you think?
I've known some guys who try to act tough and have engaged in bullying, but then when they have a girlfriend she claims he's "really sweet" or "really not really mean, just acts that way," thoughts? Anyone known someone like this?
Most Helpful Guy
You answered your own question. It's the superficial attraction to the illusion of the alpha male. The environments of bullying are usually artificial and completely removed from the jungle, but the innate behaviors, including of base attraction are still there. When women grow up they shift over the attraction to the real world version of the alpha male, rich/prestigious/famous men, etc.21|11|1

The text is written by the artist and includes passages and sketches from her journals. Scattered among the paintings are quotes from people who have had an impact on her and her work; names as varied as Jung and Alice Walker, Rilke and Leonard Cohen. Witt calls the work a "voyage of discovery . . . an exploration of whether the body of work, over the last 20 years or so has something to say in and of itself."
This companion to On Alternate Days: Book One offers more insight into Nancy Witt's journey in art by including many questions asked of her over the years and her answers. It has a narrative flow that probes deeper into her thoughts about not only the finished works, but their creations along the way.
Sparse on text, the focus of inbetween is the images themselves. It offers an opportunity for quiet contemplation and reflection and includes a selection of images from Jeremy's first fifteen years with photography.

What's the best cheap band for Apple Watch?
Updated March 2017: We've resurveyed the landscape, checked out all the latest, and these are still our favorite third-party Apple Watch bands on a budget.
There are a lot of very expensive Apple Watch bands out there, but if you want to be able to buy a few and switch it up every day — and do it without breaking the bank — then we have the best inexpensive bands for you!
MoKo Sport band
The MoKo Sport band is rather similar to the Apple Watch Sport band in terms of look and feel, but it's WAY less expensive. In fact, you can find the MoKo bands starting around $8 (compared to Apple's $70).
MoKo Sport bands come in 26 colors and patterns and both 42mm and 38mm sizes, so there is truly one for every Apple Watch wearer. The soft silicone has a smooth finish, giving it a sporty, active look and repelling sweat and other moisture, keeping your wrist dry and comfortable.
If you're in the market for an everyday band that can stand up to wear and tear, look great with just about anything, and fit just about any style, the MoKo Sport band is a superb choice.
If you love the sports band look, but maybe the MoKo band isn't quite your style, we have more favorites that might better suit your taste!
Note: Make sure you choose the correct size at checkout!
Kartice Modern Buckle band
Apple's Modern Buckle band is around $330. Kartice's Modern Buckle band is around $20 and looks just as nice.
It comes in seven different colors, with three differently colored buckles to choose from, so the combinations are plentiful. The strap is made of a lovely soft leather that conforms to your wrist and isn't at all scratchy or stiff like some leather bands can be.
The buckle is a zinc alloy, which is great for folks with nickel allergies, and it closes firmly without feeling like it's going to come loose, while not feeling oppressive at the same time.
The Modern Buckle band is a great way to keep a playful look when you want to, while exuding sophistication on the occasions where that's a priority.
If you want a fun band for every outfit (and want to save $300), check out the Kartice Modern Buckle. If you like the Modern Buckle but aren't sold on the Kartice, we have few more Modern Buckle bands we like that you should definitely check out!
Note: Make sure you pick the correct size at checkout!
top4cus Milanese Loop
top4cus makes a great alternative to Apple's Milanese Loop, and its band comes in black, gold, champagne gold, silver, and the ever-popular rose gold, which all match the Apple Watch very closely.
The Milanese Loop is an elegant band that's perfect for office attire, but it's durable enough to wear every day, so long as you're not doing anything that may scratch it up too badly. That being said, top4cus double-plates its bands, so fading and chipping seldomly occur.
If you love the Milanese Loop style but don't want to shell out the $200 to Apple, then go with top4cus' band or any of our other Milanese Loop favorites.
Burkley Cuff
If you want to look like a steampunk badass or just want a leather band that'll make everybody ask, "where'd you get that?" then you definitely want the Burkley Cuff, because it's cool as hell!
Made of genuine leather and available in Antique Camel (yup, that's real), Antique Red, and Rustic Brown, this alternative to the Hermès cuff from Apple has an awesome modern feel with a sense of rustic coolness, like scotch out of a nice glass, sipped through a crazy straw.
The Burkley Cuff really does go with anything but is definitely only for folks who like their watch bands to make a bold statement – it takes up quite a bit of arm real estate, especially since it's only for the larger 42mm Apple Watch.
If you want to complete your cool guy/Indiana Jones/ruggedly handsome/steampunk look with an innovatively designed band that's one tenth the cost of Apple's version, then check out the Burkley Cuff. If you're a cuff fanatic and feeling like flying off the cuff on a cuff-band-buying spree, we've got more cuffs for your perusal.
Vilo V-MORO Double Tour
The Double Tour style can be both elegant and rock star at the same time and getting it for less means that you're a smart shopper as well.
The V-MORO Double Tour band comes in seven colors and both Apple Watch sizes (38mm and 42mm), so there's one for every mood and personality. The genuine leather is extra comfortable, thanks to the microfiber interior, which snuggles against your wrist like a purring kitty on a winter day.
Different colors have different textures, so if you're not into the smooth leather look, you can pick up a navy blue band, which features a sort of cross hatch texture that's both rugged and refined (at the same time?! Yup!).
If you like to show off your watch bands and don't mind one that's a little more ostentatious than traditional bands, then go with the V-MORO Double Tour or any of our other favourite Double Tour bands and feel good about not paying $600 for them!
Note: Make sure you choose the right size for your Apple Watch before checking out!
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro
If you need a little more protection for your 42mm Apple Watch, then I highly recommend Supcase's Unicorn Beetle Pro, which is a rugged band and case combo. The rubber strap is firm and durable, and the case covers your watch face and body, protecting it from scratches and bumps.
The case comes in black, blue, gold, red, and white. This is only available for the 42mm Apple Watch Series 2.
More Apple Watch bands for less!
Do you love the look of the Hermes leather cuff bands, but hate the price? Our very own Cella Lao Rousseau shows you how to get that stylish look without the sticker shock!
And if you've got a sweet band for your Apple Watch that rocks your socks and won't break the bank? Sound off in the comments below!


text: So...I will be cleaning up and organizing the shop soon. I have some wrenches that did not come in a case, and want to store them on the wall. Not sure if I will have pegboard, but I do have wooden walls. How do you store yours? Are those magnetic strips any good, or not strong enough?

In integration studio, it is difficult to quickly scaffold many similar actions/entities/structures. For example, when building an integration for a payment gateway, you must use a set of identical parameters across every action you wish to interact with the gateway as it requires those parameters to make the connection. Additionally, sometimes the parameters of an action are a subset of parameters for another action. This common duplication scenario should be supported by Integration Studio! It would save developers a lot of time manually creating and recreating these parameters for every action/entity/structure that demands it.
This idea is posted before afaik.
Even though I fully endorse it, I doubt they will do it, because Integration Studio is just an escape goat if it cannot be solved in Service Studio.
There are thousands of services out there that have SDKs and APIs that would be great to have integrated with OutSystems which are not there yet. If OutSystems wants to be a big player, they should make easy changes that foster the open-source community and the ongoing integration of the latest/greatest tech.
It just seems to me like it's a fairly small change that would go a long way in the usability of Integration Studio. It's one of those things that, even though I know the ability isn't there, I keep trying to copy/past/duplicate things around because it really feels like it should be there.
Also, thanks for the full endorsement, J
I know, yet integration studio hasn't been changed since, well, since I started working on it :)
besides some minor fixes, updates of runtimes etc.
That only means it is long overdue to receive some love. They really need to do a full review of Integration Studio and this item should be high on the priority list.
Agreed - there are more usability issues with Integration Studio than just this, and it could really use a bit of a revamp. Including maybe some more docs on how to use the included platform libraries with some examples.

Artificial Intelligence or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Impending Robot Apocalypse
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that deals with the science and engineering of machines and software that are intelligence. Alan Turing, an English mathematician who is considered by some to be the father of artificial intelligence, created a test which is used to discern whether or not a machine is intelligent. The Turing Test states that if a machine can successfully pretend to be human to an observer then it could be considered intelligent.
There are many different branches of artificial intelligence. These include, but are not limited to, logical AI, search, pattern recognition, heuristics, and genetic programming.
Many steps are being made towards making science fiction science fact (insert laugh track [fun fact: all laugh tracks are taken from I Love Lucy's studio audience.]) , most of them being made in Japan were the race to build is on (#Need4Speed) or whatever. Personal robots and computer programs capable of voice and face recognition, word vomiting, making their way down town, and other simple tasks. Despite these advances in the field of AI, presently, we have yet to successfully combine all of these features and are, as a result, woefully bereft of autonomous robot servants. :(

The internationally best-selling author of Into the Wilderness makes her highly anticipated return with a remarkable epic about two female doctors in 19th-century New York and the transcendent power of courage and love.
The year is 1883, and in New York City it's a time of dizzying splendor, crushing poverty, and tremendous change. With the gravity-defying Brooklyn Bridge nearly complete and New York in the grips of antivice crusader Anthony Comstock, Anna Savard and her cousin, Sophie - both graduates of the Woman's Medical School - treat the city's most vulnerable, even if doing so may put everything they've strived for in jeopardy.
Anna's work has placed her in the path of four children who have lost everything, just as she herself once had. Faced with their helplessness, Anna must make an unexpected choice between holding on to the pain of her past and letting love into her life.
For Sophie, an obstetrician and the orphaned daughter of free people of color, helping a desperate young mother forces her to grapple with the oath she took as a doctor - and thrusts her and Anna into the orbit of Comstock, a dangerous man who considers himself the enemy of everything indecent and of anyone who dares to defy him.
With its vivid depictions of old New York and its enormously appealing characters, The Gilded Hour is a captivating, emotionally gripping novel that proves Sara Donati is an author at the height of her powers.

Historical romance, surgical implements too!
Although I've never read a Sara Donati book, I see that she has quite a tidy list of previous novels. So it's probably safe to say that she and her publishers know what they are doing.
I am interested in how medicine was practiced back in the late 1800s, and this book served my curiosity well. First and foremost, this is a romance novel, with lots of randy scenes between the two main characters. Had this been the only draw, I'd have stopped my listen.
But this book is also a well-researched tome on women's role in medicine back in the Gilded Age. It also features forensic medicine, a la Kathy Reichs of "Bones" fame, at its brith. And there's more:
--it's an immigrant novel,
--it's a mixed race novel,
--it's a novel about prejudice, not just in terms of color, but in terms of country of origin, poverty, women, Catholics, Jews, cops, the wealthy, and, well...not much escapes.
--it's a novel about family and losing family,
--it's about the power of the church
--and, of course, the power of love.
I enjoy long books that give one a chance to deeply know the characters. Or, if the characters aren't all that well crafted, at least you get a good story. This is not a literary historical work, such as you might find with Kevin Baker's books about New York, but I found I enjoyed it a lot.
I enjoyed the scenes having to do with the practice of medicine. In particular, I recall a very well-crafted scene of a surgeon demonstrating a gynecological procedure to a group of male medical students. Every aspect was clear--and horrifying; the patient's terror at the impending procedure, her shame at having her body so exposed to gaping eyes, the pomposity of the physician, who spouted the general thoughts of the day, that women had smaller brains, were not designed to do anything other than be mothers, were hysterical, and inferior in every way to men.
So glad to live in this day and age! Phew!
The listening time was one of the things I enjoyed most. A very long story, with lots of characters, various story lines that all intertwine.

Slow and plodding. More textbook than novel.
I made it about 23 chapters. There's a mystery of where some orphans ended up who were separated from each other. But, the story would take a turn where there would be a wedding and that became the focus forever in minute details, then another wedding, this and that.
The book starts out more like a novel that happens to teach you some history, but it's like the author couldn't keep that up and it became very apparent her mission was to educate. So there'd be info on contraceptives from that period and lengthy explanations about medical procedures used back then, and women's rights and orphans, and people of mixed races.
I cared about the characters, but the story just became so plodding and kept taking turns into other textbook subjects....ugh, I just couldn't make myself listen to another 20 chapters to find out, finally, what happened to the orphans.
The performer is perfect. If she wasn't so good, I wouldn't have made it this far.
I need something faster moving. Maybe a crime thriller to wake me up.
Hmmm, I guess Jack, the love interest of the main female doctor. He's down-to-earth and practical and loveable.
All of the lengthy descriptions of medical procedures. Anything where the writing becomes textbook teaching, instead of novel story-telling. I'd suggest the story sticks to the main focus of finding the orphans, keeping the reader engaged. There are just too many side stories that become the main focus for too long.
I like to learn history with historical fiction. But, I want the emphasis to be fiction, a good story. If I want to learn the technical procedures or laws for this and that, I'll pick up a textook.

Another early entry for the Maria Island Race is the Beneteau First 44.7 Auch, which will be skippered by Richard Scarr, Yachting Tasmania's chief coach. The crew will include some young members of the Tasmanian Sailing Academy to give them offshore racing experience.
The TSA sailors are undergoing rigorous training and preparation for the Maria Island Race, including completing Yachting Australia's Sea Safety and Survival course.
Notice of Race for the Maria Island Race draws special attention to amendments to the Special Regulations approved and published by Yachting Australia.
They include changes to life raft requirements, hull design and construction and an amendment that introduces mandatory wearing of PFDs between sunset and sunrise, and recommends that they also be worn at times of heightened risk.
This amendment also recommends that non-GPS capable EPIRBs and PLBs be replaced with GPS capable models as soon as possible. The amendment introduces mandatory GPS capability in all 406 MHz beans from July 2015.
Last year's Maria Island Race saw Overall first place, decided on AMS ratings, go to the smallest boat in the fleet, the Young 88 Footloose, skippered by Stewart Geeves. Line honours went to David Creese's DK46 Dekadance, with Whistler winning the IRC division from Dump Truck, skippered by Justin Wells.
In addition to Whistler, Tasmanian yachts nominated for the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race are Justin Wells and Edward Fader's Ker 11.3 Dump Truck, Tony and Rob Fisher's Adams 20 Helsal III, Anthony Williams' IMX 38 Martela, the Peterson 41 Natelle II to be skippered by Laura Roper with her father and brother in the crew, and Not Negotiable, a UFO 34 owned by John Rayner.
