It's been very difficult for me to write this last post on the Expat Blog. A lot has happened in the past six weeks, and I am happy to share that I have moved back to the United States with my husband to start a new adventure together – one in which we will switch roles so that I will be the knowing native and he will be the hapless expat (or something like that).
To be honest, over the last year and half of blogging for the Swedish Institute, this blog has become a little like my baby. I love it. I agonize over it. I try not to brag about it but find myself subtly working it into conversations. You know, very normal behavior. And now it's time to say goodbye.

Recipe by alijen
I was lucky enough to spend part of the summer in Costa Rica. This is the traditional dish that every Tico eats for breakfast, lunch, and probably dinner. I never got used to it for breakfast, but this is what I've come up with to imitate my travels there.
Top Review by taokeema
This has to be my favorite way of making rice with beans, but I, too, can't imagine Gallo Pinto without Salsa Lizano. Last time I looked, it wasn't being imported to the States. But Half Moon Bay Trading Company makes an even better Lizano style salsa (they start with fresh veggies, not dried, and use a higher quality vinegar). Check out Pirates Blend Caribbean Condiment at http://www.halfmoonbaytrading.com. I've heard there are as many recipes for Gallo Pinto as there are Costa Ricans. To try a spicier version, substitute 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger for the fresh coriander in Alijen's recipe.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups cooked black beans
- 1⁄2 cup bean stock or 1⁄2 cup chicken stock, if bean not available
- 1⁄2 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- heavy cream, as desired topping
Directions See How It's Made
- Fry onion and bell pepper in the vegetable oil, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté a bit more.
- Pour in the beans and the stock, bring to a simmer.
- Avoid the mixture drying up.
- Add in the rice and stir thoroughly, gently.
- Don't mash the beans!
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Right before serving, stir in the coriander, and top with heavy cream if desired.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by adamlovesu, Feb 6, 2010.
What do you guys think
not another war.. please.. just compare them by yourself
The N900's an interesting device (and was my object of lust before I fell in love with Android). Despite the processor being rated dated speed-wise, I hear that it runs quite well and Maemo's a pretty intuitive iteration of *nix. Responsive yet resistive screen sounds like a great drawing pad on the go if you've got the stylus with you, which is one thing I miss when using a capacitive device.
And what the hell, it's been beaten into dual-booting Android like any halfway respectable handset should be nowadays. Been turned into very small hackintosh even, albeit not usable.
It was between the N900 & the Nexus for my new handset, clearly the N1 came out on top... on paper, it beats the N900 in every category which helped sway me, Android was something that interested me as well... had never used it before, although I can say the same with Maemo5, I got the impression it isn't anywhere near finished/ready for smartphone use.
I'm certain I backed the right horse in this race.
You can get a stylus for capacitive screens
I about went with the N900 when it was first released because I really like Nokia's hardware and never cared much for Symbian touchscreen devices so with the N900 running Maemo it looked really interesting. I really like the slide out keyboard and hear nothing but good things about the browser. I know a lot of apps were moved from the previous Nokia internet tablet but I don't think their are as many as with Android.
It just really depends on what you want, I think Android is probably a better bet for now but Maemo is really interesting and I think some good phones will be coming next year if they keep on developing the operating system. I don't think you can really go wrong with either to be honest.
The handset running a full version of firefox is just plain awesome, can't wait till fx is out for Android.

In short, 2013 was an awesome year for me (still have 8 more days of it.... but not much can happen between now and a week... I think). I had set up my very own training plan with intentions of having some awesome half marathon finish times and cutting minutes off each one after the one before - to recap that:
2012 October 7 - Evansville Half Marathon - 2:36:39
I limped most of the way after injuring my groin and quad from too much training just after giving birth (race was 6 months after Dorian's birth). I knew then I had to do something, start thinking and training smarter so that is what I did after this race.
April 7, 2013 - Go! St. Louis Half Marathon - 2:18:28
I knocked 18 minutes and 11 seconds off of my time in 6 months.
October 5, 2013 - Evansville Half Marathon - 2:04:48
Six months after the St. Louis Half I knocked another 14 minutes off of my half marathon time. And a year after the same race I had knocked 32 minutes off.
November 2, 2013 - Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon - 1:56:38
A sub 2 hour finish!!! Barely a month after the Evansville Half, knocking 8 minutes and 10 seconds off of my time!
My training plan not only helped me avoid injuries (along with heading to an actual running store to analyze my stride and pronation) - but it helped me kick butt on the half marathon distance, and earning one heck of a sub 2 hour time while enjoying myself.
Not just half marathon races, but I PR'd in the 5k department last November:
The 24th Annual Turkey Dash 5k - 24:40 with a 7:57 min/mile giving me a sub 8 min PR!!
I've also enjoyed two great trail races, one night race that had most lost on the course of the 5 miler and some during the 5k. I got lost, so I didn't reach the 5 miler but I got close to it. Two weeks after the Indy Half I ran a 15k trail race placing 2nd in my age/gender group just 10-12 minutes behind the 1st place woman and coming in 5th place overall in the 15k distance.
Suffice to say, 2013 has been an awesome year for me and I don't regret any of it and I am super excited for 2014 and beyond. My goals next year will begin with one very important one on New Years Day:
January 1, 2014 - Sign up for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon
I am extremely excited about this one, as it will be my very first marathon and whole new journey in a new chapter. I had such an awesome time Pr'ing at the half marathon there, but I hope it is my lucky course/city. That of course, is at the end of the year (most likely my last race of 2014).
I've got quite a few races early on in 2014, with the only race during the summer being the Indian-Celina Challenge in June - the half marathon distance which is rumored to have more than 3,500 feet in elevation but thankfully it will be on trails.
January 25 will be my first night time half marathon trail race, it will be interesting for sure. February I've got one 5k race, March I've got two races - March 1st will be another trail half marathon at Angel Mounds so that will be a loop ran 4 times I believe, March 15 is the Run of Luck 7k which I will probably race hard just to see if I can place and earn a trophy. April most likely won't see any races. After the Indian-Celina race I plan to focus on training for the IMM.
Of course I will always run the Evansville Half Marathon, out of loyalty, as it was the inspiration that began my running journey.
I am very excited for 2014, I expect great things and a lot of fun!

Removing adsense from posts
I want to remove adsense from around 500 posts and am then going to use a plug-in (pro-version) to allow me to place ads where and I want them and also mix adsense with Chitika ads.
I'm rather fed up with Adsense because they seem to be grossly under-reporting, and I've have had fairly decent results from Chitika after just a week.
At least I get replies from humans at Chitika 😉
Anyway I tried doing it through phpMyAdmin but it wouldn't work due to line formatting.
Or let's say that I couldn't get it to work anyway.
So my plan was to download the posts table and to modify it via Notepad ++ search and replace.
But I quickly discovered that I don't know how to set the search parameters in Notepad ++ 🙁
The ad_slots will obviously vary, so how do I search and replace for everything that includes and contains.
XXXX was only removed so as not to show my whole pub #
<center><script type="text/javascript"><!–
google_ad_client = "pub-913798780086XXXX";
/* misconceptions
<script type="text/javascript"
Some will have <center> and </center> and some won't.
Thanks very much,

Topic: [FIXED][IBM] Call of Duty Fix
CoD UO Disc 2 (& 1)
http://redump.org/disc/10471/ and http://redump.org/disc/40484/
"Deluxe Edition Box Set" was added to editions. I am not sure this different than "Deluxe Edition".
http://www.mobygames.com/game/call-of-d … xe-edition
MobyGames calls it simply Deluxe Edition. But on the cover you can see it's "Deluxe Edition Box Set".
CoD Disc 1
and Disc 2 http://redump.org/disc/10472/
The downloaded files are called "Call of Duty (USA) (Disc 1) (Game of the Year) (v1.5)". The Deluxe Edition Box Set of CoD contains the Game of the Year edition of CoD, not the other way around. It should probably be called "Call of Duty (USA) (Disc 1) (Deluxe Edition Box Set) (v1.5)" although I'm not up on naming so maybe it's correct.
Also I forgot to add this ring info for my dump of CoD Disc 2. Full ring code again for reference:
Ring code : 32955102US R1R
Master SID : IFPI L241
Toolstamp : 13
Mould code : IFPI 4121
Here's the strategy guide disc too in case the "Deluxe Edition Box Set" is changed: http://redump.org/disc/40482/

Nobody likes a prognosticator of doom, but at the risk of dying alone, I have to say that things have never been worse for Nintendo. While third-party support has been an issue since the Nintendo 64, I don't think there's ever been a time when you couldn't at least find Madden on a Nintendo home console. EA and its various properties are out the door, and with not much else from other developers on the horizon, things are looking bleak.
Until you factor in E3 2013, of course.
The first thing to acknowledge is that Nintendo's "lack" of an E3 showing is totally unimportant. In 2013, E3 just isn't as important as it used to be from a consumer's point of view. Nintendo learned what Marvel and DC did a while back about Comicon; you don't have to wait for one big show during the year to drop all of your bombshells. If Axel Alonso, Dan Didio, or Satoru Iwata has something important to say, IGN, Newsarama, and Joystiq will be there to cover it. If Nintendo announced an HD remake of Ocarina of Time, do you really think the internet wouldn't implode simply because the announcement wasn't made on the E3 stage? Please.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that Nintendo's decision has made the stakes at E3 2013 higher than ever. Snubbing a traditional press conference sends one of two messages, either they have nothing to compete with what Sony and Microsoft are going to present, or they are incredibly confident that they can monopolize the show by doing it their way. Obviously, Nintendo would prefer the latter scenario, but they're going to have to outdo themselves to pull it off.
A stunning portfolio of upcoming software is not going to be enough this time. Nintendo has to take a step back and look at all of their shortcomings if they're going to come out alive. The issues with the online infrastructure of the Wii U can't continue to be ignored. Nintendo claimed they wanted to lure back core gamers with the Wii U, yet they refuse to allow for the features that the 360 has made standard. There's no disputing that Microsoft changed the videogame landscape with XBox Live. So much so, that for Nintendo to not make their network every bit the equivalent of Microsoft's seems completely foolish. Wii U needs cross-game chat, music downloads, and easy party making. If Nintendo mixes everything that Microsoft has gotten right with online and merges it with the joys of Miiverse, they're going to level the playing field.
The remaining fixes are old gripes. The Virtual Console needs to see an exponential increase in releases. XBLA and PSN dwarf what the Wii U has on tap, and their upcoming successors are only going to increase that disparity. While the problem of luring developers will need to be a long-term fix, Nintendo can pad their portfolio of games almost immediately by porting over the remainder of the Wii Virtual Console lineup and filling in the holes that still remain (Yoshi's Island, Star Fox, etc.). The resurgence of dormant franchises like F-Zero also needs to happen. Nintendo's franchises cover a wide gamut of genres that make them ideal to draw in a variety of gamers. I can appreciate that Nintendo takes its time with game development, but allowing particular franchises to sit and languish isn't going to work this time around. The company is going to need to be firing on all cylinders.
So why all the drama over seeming trivialities? It's simple; Nintendo has muddied the pool they filled in 2005 with the Wii. They're trying to be friendly to both casual and core gamers, but up to this point neither crowd is finding the Wii U all that inviting. This means that now, more than ever, Nintendo needs to have all its ducks in order. The Wii U needs a seamless online experience to make the core players happy and there needs to be a good selection of classic games to lure the casual crowd. Beyond that, the upcoming lineup of game announcements has to be stellar, offering variety that pleases both crowds. Nintendo has made a mess that has left third-parties more hesitant than ever to latch onto their new system. I think that these essential maneuvers can both right the ship and embolden developers to give them another shot. Whether Nintendo can follow through on the potential of the Wii U, well, we'll have to wait and see.

ET Review: India's 1st Starbucks outlet
"Why don't you visit the Starbucks outlet and review it? A quick mood piece... the bill is on me," says the boss.
There goes another Saturday, I think. "Should we wait a while? The outlet is at Horniman Circle, next to the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange is closed today and it's a half-day for the banks. I think the place might be deserted," I say, half-hoping that he would change his mind.
Twenty minutes later, I am on a Mumbai local, off to sample a cup of coffee, which awaits me 32 kilometres away. Contrary to my fears, I am not the only pilgrim headed to this temple of American coffee. A dozen-odd people are queuing up at the entrance, braving the afternoon heat of Mumbai: families with noisy kids, groups of excitable teenagers and a few middle-aged men, including yours truly, who pretend to be busy with their smartphones, trying hard to hide the embarrassment of having to wait in line for a cup of coffee.
Coffee Break
Inside the outlet, the teenagers pull out their tablets and smartphones — click, click, click. Updates and photos on Twitter follow. The Medusa-esque coffee goddess of Starbucks stares down at you from a wall.
"Papa, this is the biggest Starbucks I have been to," screams a bespectacled eight-year-old with spiked hair. "It's waaay bigger than the one in Hong Kong and Singapore." That's possible: this one is 4,500 sq ft — almost thrice the size of the average Starbucks store in the US. The interiors are swank, trademark wood-and-brown Starbucks finish.
"I am going to get my mama here in the evening. CCD is so dead, dude," says a teenager with braces. Her friend, a plump girl with an accent that is lost in transit between Louisiana and Ludhiana, agrees. Briefly, they panic at the sight of disappearing croissants and tweet about it. Fifty people wait ahead of us —most of them wide-eyed like belles at a village fair.
It reminds me of another day in 1996 — when I was a teenager, with hair on my head and the idea of pocket money was 10 bucks a day. Pizza Corner had opened its first outlet in Chennai and I queuing up with two weeks' pocket money in my wallet, ready to eat my first pizza.
Problem was I didn't know what a pizza looked like. When it arrived, I squeezed the slice with tight, nervous fingers till the onions and olives rained down on my lap. After a few embarrassing minutes, the waiter walked up and mumbled those magic words: "Unlimited soft drinks, saaar."
All was forgotten and my passionate affair with pizzas and large-sized jeans began right then. There are no such embarrassments at Starbucks. Once you get into the store, an American employee hands out little cups of cold vanilla frappuccino. Another employee hands out menus, guides folks through the ordering process. "I have seen nothing like this before," says the American employee, looking starry-eyed at the queues. "I have heard that people waited for hours when the first outlet opened in Brazil, but other than that..."
India Story
Many of those who stood in the queue had been to a Starbucks before. Not surprising because the first outlet is located in uptown Mumbai, where the rich live. Next week, though, Starbucks will open two more outlets, at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel and at a mall in the suburb of Goregaon.
The latter will be Starbucks' first real taste of urban, middle-class India. Goregaon is home to middle-class working professionals, Gujarati jewellers and, of course, hundreds of shopkeepers. Most of them will throng to Starbucks, initially, for two reasons. One, Indians are a curious lot. Two, Starbucks has aggressively priced its coffee (Rs 95 for a cappuccino caffe latte).
However, Starbucks has set up shop in India a decade and a half after market leader, Cafe Coffee Day (1,300-plus outlets on the last count), opened its first outlet in Bangalore. Some might say that's too late. It's a mistake Starbucks made in Australia and paid dearly for it (see Between the Lines).
At Starbucks Mumbai, the coffee is hot, the air conditioning freezing cold ("Sorry, we share it with the Croma outlet next door") and the wi-fi patchy. The American employees go about boisterously greeting customers: "How're you doing?" Most customers smile and nod, a little embarrassed by the attention. Starbucks coffee mugs (Made in Thailand) and coffee pouches are stacked neatly near the counters. Nobody is hard-selling them, not yet.
Bill, Please
Finally, after 40 minutes of standing, I arrive at the counter. I order a caramel frappe (grande size) and a walnut-apricot cake. The lady at the counter tries to print a bill. The paper roll gets stuck. Close to 100 people are waiting behind me now. She takes my order, says the bill and grub will be given to me in a while.
I move to another counter, collect my coffee. I sink into a sofa, polish off the frappe (which is excellent). No sign of the bill or the cake. I call a supervisor. The cake arrives along with an apology, no bill yet. I eat the cake and leave, a content man: minus the bill (and the reimbursement). But, then again, what are the chances that the only person at Starbucks who doesn't get the bill turns out to be a reporter? Pretty slim, right?

亚马逊网络服务(Amazon Web Services)依靠向有需求的企业出售计算资源不断发展壮大。然而,随着它扩张到像企业生产力软件或其他文件管理服务之类的相关领域,它的境遇可能就不会如此顺利了。
值得注意的是,微软并未邀请Okta参加其于3月举行的一次技术会议,原因在于双方服务的竞争日趋激烈。Business Insider网站称,随着这一新闻的曝光,微软随后又重新向Okta发出了参会邀请。
勒维表示,"作为一个行业,我们在统一性方面还有很多工作要做。" (财富中文网)
Jeff Bezos, president and chief executive officer of Amazon.com Inc., listens during a meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and technology leaders at Trump Tower in New York, U.S., on Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2016.
You can thank Amazon and its cloud computing business for ushering a wave of fast-rising startups like Airbnb and Lyft that are upending industries like hospitality and transportation.
But while Amazon Web Services is making a big business out of selling computing resources to companies on demand, it may not fare as well as it expands to related areas like business productivity software or other document management services.
At least, that's the belief from a few business software companies that have both benefited from the rise of AWS while facing increased competition from the retail giant as it steadily debuts new features. Additionally, Amazon's cloud computing business keeps on booming, with sales rising roughly 55% year-over-year to $3.2 billion in its third quarter.
"They probably overestimate their ability to move up the stack," said Okta CEO Todd McKinnon in reference to Amazon attempting to sell more software than just basic infrastructure resources like computing and storage. McKinnon made his comments during a recently panel on enterprise software and the workplace.
McKinnon praised Amazon for letting companies like Okta to rapidly build their software and jumpstart their businesses faster than the past. Additionally, with Amazon selling its computing resources for cheaper than it costs to buy data center hardware, the company has saved Okta "tons of money," he said.
April Underwood, the vice president of workplace software company Slack, echoed McKinnon's comments and said it's "never been easier than it was now" for companies to build new business software services like expense reporting tools because of cloud computing companies like AWS and Google.
But selling data center infrastructure services and enterprise software are two different businesses, and just because one company is strong in one area doesn't mean it will be strong in another, McKinnon explained. McKinnon compared Amazon's foray into new software services to Oracle, which dominates the database the market but is considered by some analysts to be behind companies like SAP and Salesforce in its apps business.
Still, the fact that Amazon continually debuts new features like its own database services and a new service intended to reduce the mundane legwork needed to manage corporate software puts some pressure on companies that rely on AWS while competing with it.
Okta, for example, sells so-called identify management services that IT staff use to keep track of employees using multiple apps at work. Amazon sells a similar service as well as Microsoft.
It should be noted that Microsoft disinvited Okta to one of its tech conferences in March due to increased competition between their respective services. After the news became public, Microsoft then re-invited Okta back to the conference, according to Business Insider.
One thing newer software companies must do to compete with larger companies is to ensure their respective software works well with each other, said Aaron Levie, the CEO of document management company Box. Smaller companies must ensure that customers find a simple experience using multiple apps from multiple companies like they would using software from just one big company, Levie explained.
"As an industry, we need to be better at a unified front," Levie said.

Liberal Arts Courses
This course builds on the Japanese language skills developed in Japanese 3. In this course students continue developing the four language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) through pattern drills, communicative activities, and tasks. Students learn 80-100 additional kanji characters. Students develop skills to learn to use complex sentences. Upon the satisfactory completion of the course, students will be able to speak, read, and write paragraphs on topics such as personal history, personal experiences, and familiar people and places. Note: This course is not available to students for whom Japanese is one of their primary languages and/or primary languages of instruction.
This course explores the ways music and musicians affect social change and peace. It is a laboratory for both study and action and intellectual and experiential learning that operates on four levels: (1) studying conflict and peacemaking from the interdisciplinary perspectives of international relations, political science, psychology, religion and spirituality, and the arts; (2) learning from artists, activists, and academics who will visit the course to share their projects and perspectives; (3) researching the ways music and peace intersect in history and society; and (4) creating a music and peace project individually and/or as a group. Contemporary music can be a powerful vehicle for expressing and transcending pain caused by violence, racism, poverty, war, and injustice. The course deepens understanding of political, ethnic, racial, national, and religious differences in our own lives and society, while experimenting with ways to respond.
Music and Society Topics allow students to choose from a variety of course themes that change each semester. In Music and Society Topics courses, students explore racial, ethnic, or collective identities, narratives, history, and/or cultural expression as expressed by artists and society. Students are presented with key terminology in the disciplines represented in music and society, such as gender and global studies. Individual course descriptions for each semester are available on the Liberal Arts department webpage.
This course is designed to introduce the students to a comprehensive study of the principal thoughts, concepts of beauty, and aesthetics in the art of India. The articulation of Indian art will reveal the relevance of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The course will provide a socio-historical approach to the understanding of Indian art, dance, and music. The course will also include brief histories of Eastern Civilizations as frameworks for the understanding of their aesthetic and philosophical concepts as presented in works of art. The history and aesthetics of Indian classical and contemporary traditions of visual art, music, and dance will be introduced to the students and some comparisons to the Western tradition will be used to help students relate, contrast, and compare them to their own creative practice that will complement their art, study and in turn grasp a deeper understanding of Indian art, music, and culture.
This course provides an introduction to issues, trends, and arguments in contemporary ethnomusicology, or the cultural study of music. As we listen to a variety of musical examples from Hindipop to hip-hop, we will examine these approaches actively through discussion, listening, and small-scale research projects. We will also engage with themes including youth culture, commercial music production, and cultural hybridity. Finally, we will ask how globalization has transformed musical practices and how we understand them today.
In this course, students will explore the history of the American music industry from 1790 to the present day. Students will study the role of instrument manufacturers, sheet music publishers, and record labels in transforming a basic human activity—music making—into a commodity. Students will also examine the race, class, and gender stereotypes that shaped the creation and marketing of popular music in different eras. Additionally, the course will examine the complex relationship between technological innovation and intellectual property law, studying the industry's efforts to combat piracy and control how consumers use its products. By focusing on such key moments in the industry's history as the birth of sound recording and the invention of the electric guitar, students will finish the course with a deeper understanding of the legal, technological, and social structures that inform the creation and consumption of popular music.
This course focuses on musical analysis, contextual cultural explorations, and study of the sociohistorical circumstances fundamental to the emergence of Cuban music and its subsequent evolution as part of the larger cultural and social history of the Americas and the Caribbean, from about the 18th to the 21st century. In addition to an introduction to key figures in the development of Cuban music, we will analyze African-derived musical traditions rooted in ritual and religious practices (e.g. bembé, abakuá, palo) and their affects on the birth of characteristic secular urban and rural genres like contradanza, son, son montuno, comparsa, and rumba. The continuing influence of these major genres on contemporary Cuban music styles such as timba, as well as their longstanding international reach, will be investigated from the perspectives of artistic innovation and aesthetic synthesis, ongoing processes of musical hybridization, and the implicit social struggles of both musicians and cultural carriers at the core of many of these musical expressions.
This course examines the history of the music, artists, business leaders, and practices of one of the most important music genres of the 20th century: R&B/soul. Students explore the influence of the R&B/soul music personalities, and examine how they shaped business practices specific to the field and created a bluprint for the current pop music field dominated by hip-hop moguls such as Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, Sean Combs, the Williams brothers, and Lil' Wayne. The impact of the genre's artists and business people—including artists Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, and Marvin Gaye; and producers Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Teddy Riley, L.A. Reid, Babyface, Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, Ahmet Ertegun, Berry Gordy, and Dick Griffey—will be investigated through listening, lecture, discussion and research.
This course explores the concepts of transformational power in music using musical examples from several different cultures. The desire to connect spiritually through music has been found to be virtually universal, but music can communicate that which is beyond language in both sacred and secular settings. Western culture's 21st-century influence has shown that the pervasiveness of music and emphasis on entertainment can cause us not to always recognize its power. How do we define power and music in current cultural trends? Through guided listening to recordings of music from around the world, viewing films, interviews with guest speakers and musicians, and class discussions, students explore the forms and context of music from different places around the world and make connections between music, transformation, and spirituality.
This course is a comprehensive study of influential female songwriters of the 20th century and their relationships with their cowriters and producers. Students explore the work of Dorothy Fields, Jerome Kern, Laura Nyro, David Geffen, Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, Diane Warren, Jack White, and others, and examine these songwriters' inspirations, as well as their impact on subsequent writers. Students also study the interaction of these songwriters with other contemporary artists and thinkers, including other musicians, writers, and visual artists. Students analyze the influence of George and Ira Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and doo wop on the songwriters' work, as well as the songwriters' own personal and political lives. In addition, students analyze the elements that brought these exemplary songwriters to the top of the music industry at a very competitive time and investigate the combination of factors that led to success.
This course encompasses the study of musicians who lived in Laurel Canyon, in Los Angeles, California, between the years 1964--1970, including Joni Mitchell; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Mama Cass; Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison; and many others. Students explore the evolution of popular music in this particular place and time. Students also examine the ways that the events and culture of the time contributed to this musical evolution, and the ways that the musical response affected culture. By exploring these connections, students come to see how songwriters engage with their environment as they attempt to write music that reaches and influences a large audience. The class emphasizes the importance of artists considering the world around them, and their place in it, as they create work that feels fulfilling to them, and also inspirational to others.
This interdisciplinary course explores how writers, filmmakers, musicians, political figures, and citizens continue to struggle with the diversity and tensions of Celtic identity. The focus of the course will vary from year to year to include a broad range of topics centered on the fusion in Irish, Scottish, and Celtic life of culture, politics, religion, history, drama and film, and music. Sample topics include films by Jim Sheridan, Neil Jordan, and Paul Greengrass; contemporary Celtic music such as Altan, Solas, and Capercaillie; literary works by such authors as Joyce, Yeats, J.M. Synge, Frank McCourt, Martin McDonagh, and Seamus Heaney; the Great Famine; emigration; the resistance to British rule; the Irish Civil War; "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland; and Scottish nationalism. Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cape Breton, and other traditional musicians will visit the class to perform and discuss Celtic music and society.

its annual billing.Asked by Christopher Papa on August 20, 2015 at 12:34 PM
It would be really great if your $19 Bronze package at some point during the upgrade process identified that you'll be paying for the whole year. There is absolutely no mention of this during the entire process
I would have definitely use the corporate card on that had I known.
It's actually just bad business.
To be clear I did not think it was $19 forever - I thought it was $19 per month. There is no indication you need to click on the price to open up a window to alter your selection of annual versus monthly. That would have been extremely good to know.
Hi Christopher,

HOLIDAY GRAPHICSIMPLE STARS IN CINEMA 4D Declaration of Independance and the country's departure from colonial rule on that date. Independence Day is marked by the icons of our country's flag, stars and stripes. Because stars take a few million years to create, we'll create a graphic that only a requires few minutes using MAXON's CINEMA 4D. (Beginner Tutorial)
1. The Star Spline
The star spline can be found in the spline section of the standard palette, or through the Object pulldown menu.
3. The default star comes with 8 points. If you want a standard 5 point star, you can control the number of points in the attribute manager. Select a value of 5 in the dialogue box for points.
4. To create some simple geometry from this star, place it into an ExtrudeNURBS object. If you're using R9, with the star spline selected in the object manager, simply hold down the OPTION key and select the Extrude NURBS object from the standard palette.
5A. In the Caps part of the attribute window, change both the Start and End to "Fillet Cap" and shift the radius to a value of "10".
5B. Select the Fillet type: ENGRAVED.
5C. Set Constrain to "on" by checking the empty box next to the word "Constrain".
6. While the object is extruded, it has a depth of 20m which extends from the front of the spline (located at 0,0,0). In order to center the extrusion on the axis of the NURBS object, move the star spline half the distance of the extrusion in the opposite direction of the extrude (20/-2) or (-10).
That's it.
Now you have a star to incorporate into your graphic or animation.

How much time have you spent thinking about your retirement? If you're like most people, not much. But consider these facts and you just may start. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of 100 people who start working by age 25, only one percent are wealthy by the time they're 65, while 63 percent are dependent on Social Security, friends, relatives or charity. And perhaps most alarming, at age 65, 95 percent of the population is either dead or dead broke. It's true, but it doesn't have to happen to you. One of the most important things yu can do is put some strong strategies in place, and do it now. What are your financial goals and what's the best way to achieve them? Annuities, life insurance, tuition planning and the mortgage are al l important considerations.
After you've managed to pinpoint your priorities, you'll need to decide whether you have the experience to know where to go for the lowest-cost options. Most people end up going to a friend in the business and most of them live to regret it. The most efficient way to make your financial dreams come true is to work with a professional, independent outside counsel, according to Richard Sapio, CEO of MUTUALS.com, a mutual fund provider.
The site lets you browse and purchase more than 10,600 funds available in the market, ad it's the only company that provides this service for investors, who can get all the information they need and then choose the program that works best for them.
Sapio also advises against buying investments from commission-driven brokers or on your own until you've answered some important questions. Other things you can do to avoid financial ruin or uncertainty are found on MUTUALS.com. Learn more about the benefits of working with a financial adviser, for example.
Things like regular savings, excessive credit card debt or hammering out the details of buying a house can be extremely difficult. But with the help of a planner who knows your needs, your habits and your goals, making these things work to your advantage is simpler and more effective.
So start planning now for a secure future. For more information, call 1-800-MUTUALS or visit www.Mutuals.com.

Finally. FINALLY. An episode with some personality, some drama, some dresses made out of weird materials. I thought it might never happen.
On Thursday night, our gaggle of hapless Project Runway designers were charged with making something – anything – out of newspaper. The Los Angeles Times, to be exact! Which should tell you something pointed about the state of print media right there – not only are they giving it away, but they're not even expecting anyone to read it! No, no, it's simply as a fabric substitute. No reading required. So I guess print publications beat out online media in that respect; you can't make a dress out of a blog, can you?
Go ahead, try. I'll wait.
Can't do it, can you? And some of our designers, regrettably, couldn't even do it when given pallets of newsprint. But, lo and behold, a couple of them actually came through for us. And one of them royally screwed up, lied, and made Tim Gunn very unhappy, which is almost as bad as if you bore Nina.
Operation: Newspaper Outfits is a go! The designers were allowed to use muslin as a base, but nothing but newsprint could actually show on the finished look. It's worth mentioning that this is perhaps one of the easiest unconventional challenges that Runway has ever had; they didn't have to shop for their materials, which were virtually unlimited, everything they had to use could be easily manipulated with scissors, none of it was food, and paper is something that people have actually used to make clothes in the past (which we know courtesy of the odd fashion history interlude). It wasn't candy wrappers or lettuce or repurposed car parts – they had things fairly easy.
But you wouldn't know it based on what Meth Addict Johnny, Mean Girl-wannabe Nicolas, and Gordana turned in – they were our bottom three. Although I completely disagree with the inclusion of Gordana in the losers' circle. Her garment was well-tailored, relatively wearable, normal-looking, and included absolutely nothing but newspaper – it had no muslin base, as almost every other garment did. Even Tim Gunn heartily approved of it.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Before we talk about the crap, let's get the winner out of the way.
Our top three were Irina's trench coat, fashioned out of regular newsprint with a collar and cuffs made out of balled-up wads of whatever, Chris's feathery ball gown, and Althea's architectural strapless dress. Irina won, which she shouldn't have, because she's just a taller, pointier, meaner, less adorable, less talented version of Shirin. And Shirin is wonderful! She talks to herself while she's designing and generally seems like she'd be fun to eat ice cream and watch a DVD with. Irina? She'd just tell you that the ice cream is going to make you fat and she'd probably want to watch a Gwyneth Paltrow movie.
Who should have won? Chris. His ball gown was the only garment to have a significant amount of movement, and the contrast in texture between the skirt and the bodice showed the versatility of the material. I would also have been happy with Althea taking the win – she was the only designer to effectively use a photo from one of the sections to create a pattern, and it was done expertly in order to highlight her model's curves. And yet, Irina's wadded-up trench won. What kind of world do we live in?
The kind where Gordana was in the bottom three, that's what kind. We've already addressed THAT travesty, so let's move on to the other two. Nicolas wanted to create a nod to Lower East Side punk clothing, but really he just made a sorta-striped dinosaur dress. It wasn't particularly creative or interesting, and it didn't look particularly punk. Fail.
But he wasn't the biggest fail! No, no, Johnny was full of fail this week. Which, I guess, is better than being full of meth. You'd have to ask him, though. At first, he set out to make an origami-strapped red something-or-other, but Mama Tim hated it, so he scrapped the entire thing then and there, right in front of Tim and the cameras. And then he sat there and did the LA Times crossword puzzle (something tells me he didn't get far). Also in front of the cameras. Which is important! Because when his model came in, and then later on the runway when questioned by the judges, he made up an elaborate tale of a Dior-esque masterpiece ruined by a wayward steamer.
Except there wasn't anything remotely Dior-iffic about his crap dress, and there was plenty of footage to demonstrate that a steamer had never come anywhere near that wrinkled mess. And Nicolas, vying for as much screen time as possible, couldn't help but open his mouth about it in front of the judges. Even if he was right, it still made him look like a petty a-hole, particularly when anyone that's ever seen a season of this show before knows that there's always someone that tries to plead hardship and the judges never care, even when it happens to be true. Which it didn't this time, and I was halfway hoping that Mama Tim would fretfully peek out from backstage and go "Hey Heidi, he's a big ol' liar, his original dress made me woeful and, as such, he chose to ball it up in front of me and do a crossword puzzle instead."
But he didn't, and it didn't matter, because Johnny went home anyway. So I guess something is right in the world, even if it's not the person that won. This episode felt a bit more like vintage Runway, even if it wasn't the most fantastic thing that I've ever watched. As we winnow down the field of contestants, we're starting to see more personality come forth, like Shirin's quirkiness and Irina's and Nicolas's inabilities to stop whining about what everyone else is making and focus on their own garments. One can only hope that they'll pay for that in the coming weeks.
Another thing that we can only hope: That we'll ever see Michael Kors or Nina Garcia again.

Ares V was humanity's fifth manned mission to Mars.
Under the direction of the International Space Agency and NASA, it was supposed to be the second part of a multi-stage plan to establish the first permanent Martian colony. Instead, in 2032, Ares V became a rescue mission to recover Ares IV mission specialists, Rose Kumagawa and Andrei Novakovich, from the planet's surface after their orbiting command module was lost.

The Dust of Death(2007)
(The first book in the Inspector Starrett Mystery series)
A novel by Paul Charles
Inspector Starrett is in his mid forties, dresses well, likes a pint of Guinness and is a decade into his third career. The locals say he may have a sixth sense: he's not so sure but has been eternally grateful when that special something or other has kept him out of trouble and come to his aid on a few of his cases. Now the bloodied body of a crucified man is discovered in a Church in an Irish Heritage Town on the first Friday of summer and Starrett and the rest of the Serious Crime Unit are investigating. The team soon realizes that town is not nearly as righteous as its many churches might suggest.

The Beckman High School football team is going to look quite different this season compared to last.
Many of the Patriots main contributors at skill positions and on the defensive side of the ball have either graduated or moved on to different schools or sports.
Quarterback Quinn O'Dell graduated. His backup, Alema Pilimai, who took over when O'Dell went down early last season, transferred to Tustin.
Wide receivers Alec Beggs, Nick White and Devin Aguilar graduated, and so did running back Blake Crandall and defensive end (and Vanderbilt-bound) Charles Wright.
Another loss that could leave a gaping hole on both sides of the ball for Beckman is that of Tyler Geurts. Geurts, a linebacker and running back, led the Patriots in tackles with 138 last year as a sophomore. He has decided to focus his efforts fully on baseball.
Despite the large turnover at key positions, Beckman coach Glen Fisher said he likes what he has seen this summer.
"We had a really good summer; very productive," he said. "We like where we're headed right now. We're stronger than we've ever been, and we're excited about a lot of different aspects. I think we're going to be very athletic, which showed in some of the passing league games we played."
Offensively, Fisher said there's a two-man competition for the starting quarterback position between J.T. Manber and sophomore Dean Nagle.
"(J.T.) looks great," Fisher said. "He's got a big arm and is a good-sized kid. He's starting to grasp the offense. We're equally excited about Nagle. He's a big kid, and he can throw it. The competition is good. We're expecting a lot of big things from J.T., but Dean is right there with him."
Whichever player wins the quarterback competition will have plenty of targets to throw to and definitely one to hand off to.
Beckman returns running back Adrian Morrow who split time in the back-field with Geurts last season.
Morrow carried the ball just 31 times as a sophomore, but tallied 181 yards, good for 5.84 yards per carry.
Fisher is also expecting big things from receivers Logan Garrick, Noah Lee, Ryan Sinkking and tight end Andrew Buiton.
Fisher gave rave reviews to receiver Demitrius Goods.
"He's a phenomenal athlete," he said. "He can run, he can jump and has good hands. We have some skill guys."
Defensively, the losses of Wright and Geurts are ones that are difficult to replace, but Buiton will anchor the defensive line, while Morrow will head the linebacking corps.
"We're going to be fast on defense," Fisher said. "It takes a while to get to a point where you're fast as a unit, but I think we're fast. Everyone has to be able to run to play our defense."
He continued: "We are really excited about our secondary and have some good linebackers coming back. Sinkking is going to be our dude. He looks great."
Beckman will open its season with a game against Durango High School of Colorado. The game is Aug. 29 in Pueblo, Colo.
The Patriots will wrap up non-league play with games against Santa Ana Valley, Foothill, Tustin and San Juan Hills, a schedule Fisher thinks will prepare his team for Pacific Coast League play.
"Our 10-game schedule is a 10-game schedule," he said. "We're playing people. We want to play for a league title, go to the playoffs and go as far as we can. I think those are realistic goals."
Fisher expects league play to be as difficult as it normally is, but he's not expecting the Patriots to back down from any opponent.
"It will be challenging," he said. "Our league is always competitive. We're not afraid of anybody in our league because we know we're going to hit anyone that we play. That's what we do."

I don't like too many explicit imports (after some point they start being messy) but I want to make an issue over it. Technically you are correct: patches shouldn't have unnecessary import mods. The reason the interface is called CmdTest is that otherwise JUnit (in our configuration) will consider it to be a test class and will try to run it. However, I agree that the name is awkward. I have change it to iCmdTest so now it seems to be more clear. Thanks for catching it up.

Brownie mix enables you to have rich, delicious brownies that are ready to serve in a mere 90 minutes -- less than that if you serve them warm. Brownie mixes commonly contain sugar, flour, cocoa and preservatives, requiring you to add only eggs, oil and water. Adding an extra egg to the mix changes the texture of the brownies, producing a light, cake-like treat that is suitable for frosting or pairing with ice cream.
Purpose of Eggs
Eggs contain fat, protein and water and are an essential addition to brownie mix. Egg yolks contain fat and protein, while the whites contain mostly water. During the mixing process, the eggs emulsify the dry brownie mix ingredients to create an evenly mixed batter. As the brownies are baking, the protein in the eggs reacts to the heat to hold the batter ingredients together, resulting in a pan of brownies that hold their shape after you have cooled and cut them.
How the Extra Egg Works
An extra egg added to brownie mix produces cake-like brownies, rather than a denser, fudge-like brownie, as it adds volume to the batter. The extra egg adds volume and creates a soft, light texture as the extra proteins allow the brownie crumbs to form slightly farther apart. Brownie mixes typically include directions for adding one egg. Adding an extra egg may change your baking time slightly.
Egg Selection
Unless the brownie mix calls for a specific egg size, use large eggs. Choose the freshest eggs you can find, and make sure they don't have any cracks. You can use white or brown eggs, and standard, organic or omega-3 eggs in your brownie mix. You can also use a pourable egg substitute in brownie mix; simply follow the directions on the carton to add the proper amount to equal one extra egg.
Brownie Tips
If you use an extra egg in your brownie mix, don't stir the batter any longer than called for in the original instructions. Overmixing can result in tough, sticky brownies. Place the eggs on the countertop approximately 30 minutes before you begin mixing your brownies to allow them to come to room temperature before baking. Warmer eggs form more pockets of air during the mixing process, giving you fluffier brownies after baking is complete.

The effects of exchange rate volatility on portfolio equity investments into South Africa
ENGLISH SUMMARY : The study analyses the effects of exchange rates volatility on portfolio equity investment in South Africa using quarterly time-series data for the period 1985 Q3 to 2015 Q4. Exchange rate volatility was modelled using EGARCH (1, 1) model. The Unit root test confirmed that all the variables used in the model were stationary either in their levels or at first difference. The multiple regression model results revealed that exchange rate volatility characterised by the conditional variance of the EGARCH (1, 1) model and macroeconomic pull and push factors have significant effects on portfolio equity investment in South Africa. The study revealed that the GARCH term (β1 = 0.803962) implies that shocks to the conditional variance are highly persistent and take long to die out. The research findings also confirmed the existence of negative and statistically significant leverage effects (γ= -0.2846) at 5% level of significance. The Treasury bill rate of South Africa (β2= 2.700063) was found to have a positive impact, while the Treasury bill rate of the USA (β3 = -0.135991) exhibited a negative impact on portfolio equity investment over the period analysed. Industrial production of the USA (β4=12.53743) showed a positive statistically significant impact on portfolio equity investment at 5% level of significance. The variables were also found to be cointegrated and the impulse responses as well as the variance decompositions of the estimated VECM were strongly consistent with the existence of a positive and statistically significant long run relationship between portfolio equity investment and exchange rate volatility at 5% level of significance. The block exogeneity test results also validated a uni-directional causality run from portfolio equity investment to exchange rate volatility over the sample period. The research concluded that the push and pull factor dichotomy as well as the exchange rate volatility characterized by the conditional variance of the EGARCH (1,1) model have a significant explanatory power on the patterns of portfolio equity investments flows to South Africa.

We all have to start somewhere – it's a mantra worth repeating as you embark on a new year fitness programme. And it's as true whether you want to make 2011 the year you complete a marathon or just slip easily into that pair of jeans you bought in the sales. To assess how fit – or unfit – you are, try this simple endurance test.
This five-point time trial will take no more than 30 minutes to complete in the gym or your local park. Don't be disheartened by your first set of results. It will highlight your current level of cardio fitness, muscle strength and stamina – all vital statistics when training for endurance events.
Make the test a regular part of your regime, and you will not only track your progress but propel yourself towards your fitness goals.
1. Press-ups are not only a great way to build upper body strength and endurance, they are a good test of upper body strength. With the press-up, muscular strength is relative to body weight, and so in theory can be performed equally by everyone, young and old, male and female.
Place your hands on the floor directly beneath your shoulders and push yourself up, trying to maintain a straight line through your body; engage your core (stomach) muscles to prevent your lower back from dipping.
Then, lower your chest to the ground, maintaining a straight back by flexing at the elbow until the joint reaches 90 degrees. Keep your head and shoulders in front of your hands, neck straight, throughout the test. Perform for one minute, counting only completed repetitions.
How did you score?
Poor 15 or below
Below average 20
Target 25
Above average 30 or higher
Poor 6
Below average 10
Target 15
Above average 15 or higher
2.The ability to perform a vertical jump against a wall represents the optimal balance of lower body strength and explosive power.
Stand side-on next to a wall, with your heels on the floor. Reach up with one hand and, with a piece of chalk, mark your standing reach height. Take a step away from the wall, bend at the knees and jump up as high as possible, marking the wall at the highest point of your jump. Perform this test twice on each side, and measure the distance between your standing reach height and highest jump.
How did you score?
Poor 30cm
Below average 35cm
Target 40-55cm
Above average 55cm and above
Poor 25cm
Below average 30cm
Target 35-40cm
Above average 40cm and above
3.To test your cardiovascular endurance – the efficiency of your heart, blood vessels and lungs to provide oxygen and fuel to the muscles steadily for an extended period – you need to perform some aerobic exercise. Without stopping, run, jog or walk for 12 minutes, outdoors or on a treadmill, and record the distance covered.
How did you score?
Poor: 1 mile
Below average: 1.2 miles
Target: 1.2 to 1.6 miles
Above average: 1.6 miles
Poor: 0.9 miles
Below average: 1.1 miles
Target: 1.1 miles to 1.3 miles
Above average: 1.3 miles and above
4.For a healthy back, you need both strong abdominal muscles and good postural balance between one side of the body and the other.
Performing a side plank exercise against the clock tests this, as it challenges the abdominals to stabilise and forces you to brace your core to protect your lower back. Discrepancies from side to side represent poor postural balance or an imbalance of strength.
Lie on your side and push up on to your elbow, so your body pivots at your feet into a straight line. Hold this position for as long as you can, ensuring your hips do not dip. Perform the test on both arms – a five-second or more difference between both sides shows a slight imbalance in strength, which may affect your performance.
How did you score?
Poor: below 10 seconds
Below average: 20 seconds
Target: above 30 seconds
Above average: 35 seconds or above
Poor: below 5 seconds
Below average: 15 seconds
Target: 25 seconds
Above average: 30 seconds or above
5.To test your legs and core strength, as well as your overall stamina, perform as many circuits of the following four exercises as you can until fatigue set in.
Leg squats: From a standing position, legs shoulder-width apart and with your weight in your heels, bend your knees to a 90-degree angle, as though going to sit on an imaginary stool. The knees should not move in front of the toes, the back should remain long and in good posture. Return to start position. Perform 20 times.
Alternating lunges: Step forward, bending the front knee to a 90-degree angle, and maintain a straight back as you lower yourself down before returning to the starting position and repeating on the opposite side. Perform 20 times, 10 on each side.
Squat jumps: Using a bench at mid-shin level, flex at the knees and jump up on to a bench, before stepping (not hopping) back down. Perform 20 times.
Bench step-ups: Keeping a straight back, step up on to the bench, one foot at a time, before stepping down with the leading leg. Aim to perform one repetition a second. Perform 20 times, 10 on each side.
How did you score?
Poor: 2 circuits
Below average: 3 circuits
Target: 4 circuits
Above average: 5 circuits
Poor: 1 circuit
Below average: 2 circuits
Target: 3 circuits
Above average: 4 circuits

Various Artists - Inside Llewyn Davis: Original Soundtrack Recording [2013] [Soundtrack]
Nonesuch Records / CD
Nonesuch Records releases the soundtrack to "Inside Llewyn Davis. " Written and directed by Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan Coen and produced by Scott Rudin and Joel and Ethan Coen, the film stars Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, and Justin Timberlake. T Bone Burnett, Joel Coen, and Ethan Coen produced the soundtrack, with Marcus Mumford as associate producer. The album includes 12 new recordings made especially for the film and soundtrack plus an existing recording by Dave Van Ronk. Also featured is a never-before-released version of Bob Dylan performing his song "Farewell, " which was recorded during the sessions for his album The Times They Are A-Changin' and is available exclusively on this soundtrack.
"Inside Llewyn Davis" is the Coen brothers' fourth collaboration with the Grammy and Academy Award-winning Burnett; his soundtrack to their film "O Brother, Where Art Thou? " won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Producer of the Year. "Inside Llewyn Davis" won the Grand Prix at the Cannes International Film Festival.
"Inside Llewyn Davis" follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is at a crossroads. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles some of them of his own making. Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Davis' misadventures take him from the basket houses of the Village to an empty Chicago club on an odyssey to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman and back again. Brimming with music performed by Isaac and Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan, as well as Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, "Inside Llewyn Davis" in the tradition of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is infused with the transportive sound of another time and place.
Track listing:
1. Hang Me, Oh Hang Me - Oscar Isaac
2. Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song) - Marcus Mumford & Oscar Isaac
3. The Last Thing on My Mind - Stark Sands With Punch Brothers
4. Five Hundred Miles - Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan & Stark Sands

13. Farewell - Bob Dylan
14. Green, Green Rocky Road - Dave Van Ronk

Week 15 is usually when things begin to get very interesting in the NFL. The pretenders fall by the wayside while the contenders begin to separate themselves from the pack and solidify their playoff standing.
After racking up victories in our best bets section to the tune of a 67 percent clip versus the spread over the past three weeks, here's who we like for week 15.
Best Bet
1. Carolina Panthers (-7.5) vs. Denver Broncos. At a different point in the season, this might be considered a trap game for the Carolina Panthers.
Coming off a huge win vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night, and having to head up north to face the defending champion New York Giants, this game sandwiched in between, might have been overlooked.
But with an NFC South title (and possibly home field advantage throughout) still within reach, you don't have to worry about that. The two-headed monster (Williams/Stewart) will run the football all over Denver and Julius Peppers and Co., making life miserable for Jay Cutler. Easy win for Carolina.
Next in Line:
2. Pittsburgh Steelers (+2) vs. Baltimore Ravens. These teams are nearly identical with the exception of the quarterback position. And in this contest, which will go a long way towards deciding the AFC North, look for the running games from both teams to be non-existent.
The passing game will be the difference. And under that scenario, we like Ben Roethlisberger out gunning Joe Flacco.
3. New York Giants (+3) vs. Dallas Cowboys. This by no means will be an easy football game. The Cowboys are coming off a demoralizing loss and the Giants are looking to bounce back from an uncharacteristic effort vs. the Eagles.
Even though New York has won the NFC East and has a home game, they can earn a first round bye with a win on Sunday and can also severely damage the Cowboys' playoff prospects. So look for the Giants to look more like the team that won seven straight (prior to the loss) and make a few more plays than the Tony Romo led Cowboys.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) vs. Atlanta Falcons. See money line analysis.
Others we like:
1. Philadelphia Eagles (-14) vs. Cleveland Browns. The Eagles have new found playoff hopes after huge victories over the Cardinals on Thanksgiving Night and the Giants last weekend, and look for that trend to continue when the depleted Browns come to town.
Philly should put a minimum of 30 points on the board. While we don't see Ken Dorsey and his teammates reaching double digits.
2. Tennessee Titans (-3.5) vs. Houston Texans. This game was one that we could go either way on, but considering that Tennessee still needs to win in order to have home field throughout the playoffs in the AFC, we see a spirited effort. They don't want to fall to the Texans and then have to beat Pittsburgh and Indianapolis to win the top seed.
3. San Francisco 49ers (+6.5) vs. Miami Dolphins. It's been a great season for Miami and no one thought they'd be sitting tied atop the AFC East after week 14, but here they are.
While we think the Fins will win this game, Mike Singletary has his 49ers playing hard for him and he's playing to win a head coaching job himself. So look for a much closer game than Las Vegas anticipates down in South Beach.
Money Line:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+140) vs. Atlanta Falcons. The Buccaneers took quite a beating when they went into Charlotte last Monday night. Williams/Stewart combined for over 300 yards and 4 TDs against their stellar defense, and you know Jon Gruden, Monte Kiffin and the team are none too happy about that.
Look for Tampa to go after rookie quarterback Matt Ryan, (something that hasn't been too easy to do), and force him into a mistake that turns the game. Offensively, look for a steady diet of Dunn and (Cadillac) Williams to set up the play action to Bryant and the other outside play makers.
It will be close, but we see Tampa's experience winning out in this crucial game.
