Climbing the Wall: Stocks Gain But Did They Gain Enough?
Spider-Man is back but not, it seems, better than ever. Sure, the Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be a success--Box Office Mojo predicts it will earn $91 million at the box office this weekend, head and shoulders above any other flick. The reviews, however, could have been written by J. Jonah Jameson. The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern asks how bad the Amazing Spider-Man 2 is, and answers his own question: "Amazingly bad." The Washington Post's Ann Hornaday calls it "a strenuously chipper but nonetheless saggy, baggy and mostly ho-hum addition to the Spider-Man canon." Grantland's Wesley Morris spends his review rhapsodizing about the wonders of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. It seems to be that kind of film.
Still, investors must be hoping the market can show some of Spider-Man's stickiness. The S&P 500 gained 1% to 1,881.14 this week, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.9% to 16,512.89 and closed at a new high on Wednesday. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.2% to 4,123.90, while the small-cap Russell 2000 finished the week up 0.5% to 1,128.80.
The big news on Friday was the stunning jobs report. Marketfield's Michael Shaoul explains the significance:
...we would be resistant to the notion that today's report was meaningless. It does cut the ground from under those still arguing for economic weakness and the risk of deflation and of course the 12 month ma itself needs strong reports to balance the weaker ones that no doubt will be released soon enough. Perhaps most importantly the unemployment data shows an unambiguous trend of improvement that (even allowing for the Participation Rate) is utterly at odds with the current emergency monetary policy. We recognize that it will probably take evidence of inflationary pressures to really change the FOMC (and the bond market's) mind about this cycle but the improvement in employment does make this more likely to occur. At a time that the overall equity market has been beset with indecision for a number of weeks the very clear message from employment may prove to be surprisingly influential.
Instinet's Frank Cappelleri worries about the S&P 500's ability to "blast through 1885." He explains:
Overall, if the SPX can close above 1885, it would do two things.
1. It would be step one for momentum traders who have been waiting for a breakout before putting more money to work. Step two would be holding above it, which the market failed miserably at last month.
2. And it would also show that the equity market can digest strong economic numbers (while overbought), knowing that the likelihood of a rate hike increases with each favorable report. Too much to ask for? We'll see...
In terms of price patterns, that [head & shoulders] formation was taken advantage of early yesterday, but the late day fade put the SPX back below this line. I wouldn't call it dead yet, but a failure today would certainly call its future into question.
Guess what? It failed today.
Visa (V) gained 2.8% this week and Walt Disney (DIS) rose 2.7% to $80.31, to lead the Dow higher. Visa managed to gain despite sanctions being imposed on two Russian banks. Pepco Holdings (POM) surged 24% after it agreed to be purchased by Exelon (EXC) for $27.25 a share in an all-cash deal. Exelon dropped 1.2% this week. Energizer (ENR) jumped 17% after it said it would split itself into two companies.

Faneca says he wants out
Friday, May 11, 2007
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Guard Alan Faneca said today he is attending the required Steelers minicamp only because the team is making him and predicted this will be his last season with the Steelers.
Peter Diana, Post-Gazette
Steelers offensive lineman Alan Faneca glares at new offensive line coach Larry Zierlein during mini-camp drills today.

Faneca, who has played in the past six Pro Bowls, said he will depart Pittsburgh Sunday night when practices end and won't return until training camp.
Faneca also said he has asked the Steelers to trade him but that he does not think that will happen. He said they have shown by their lack of progress in contract talks that they no longer want him beyond the 2007 season.
"This will be my last year as a Pittsburgh Steeler," Faneca declared.
He even said that it would be hard for him to serve as a co-captain of the offense again.
"You go somewhere, you've been here for nine years; to do what I've done to help this team out. The things I've done for this team ... and the offer I get is pretty much a non-offer. What am I to think? What are the guys in this room to think? If they can do it to me and everybody else and let Joey [Porter] go and do things like that, what does that say to the rest of the guys?"
Faneca said he's talked to "everyone" in the front office, including Art Rooney, Dan Rooney and Kevin Colbert.
"I've been asking since February, to trade me, to let me go,'' Faneca said in such an emotional interview that at times his left hand was shaking slightly. "I've done my piece, I've done my time, I've done everything I can for this organization.
"I lived and breathed Steelers football for nine years and gave them everything I had, helped them win a Super Bowl. In my mind, I've earned the right to be treated fairly. To make me go out there this year, play football with no security ... for what I've done for this organization, in my mind is not right."

19 fun car road trip activities
Turn an ordinary drive into a world of fun adventures and possibilities. more
Cooking with your preschooler is a wonderful experience because, at this age, he's so enthusiastic and loves to be a good helper. He will get genuine satisfaction from helping you, so get him involved with every part of the cooking session - choosing what to make, getting out all the ingredients, preparing all the utensils - there's really no job too small for a pre-schooler!
While his immature fine motor skills (and his lack of common sense) won't mean that he'll be able to take on many of the actual cooking tasks, he can learn the basics of measuring, along with rolling dough, spooning mixtures, and tasting (!) his food.
At this age, you can also introduce him to ideas about healthy food and how it's important to make the right food choices for our bodies.
Start teaching your child now how to set the table, clear the table, serve food and - the best bit - clean up! If you get in early you may just encourage the habits of a lifetime.

ROYAL Wootton Bassett Town Council has opposed plans to build a car wash on the site of the current car park behind Morrisons in Station Road.
Plans for the car wash on the site were first entered by a Mr Pang in June last year, but were rejected by Wiltshire Council.
In a decision notice the council said: "It is considered that the proposed development would lead to adverse impacts upon the general amenity of local residents, particularly in respect of the likely disturbance created by the activity at weekends. "In adding to the general disturbance created, the proposal is also considered to provide insufficient space for waiting cars to avoid blocking the private road to the east and is therefore likely to obstruct traffic on Station Road at busy times."
But in December Mr Pang submitted a revised application to the council.
The town council discussed the plans in a meeting on January 30 and agreed to advise Wiltshire Council of their concerns and object the plans, which are in contravention to the Local Plan.
Members raised concerns that the proposed development would obstruct traffic and that adequate provisions would not be provided for the drainage of water.
Residents have until today to comment on the revised car wash scheme.
For more information visit www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ planninganddevelopment and quote planning application number 13/06958/FUL.
To view the objections posed by the town council visit the website, which can be found at www.royalwoottonbassett.

Am I Pregnant?
Hi, I stopped my oral birth control a few months ago and for Feb/March I had approx 5 day menses which were approx 30 days apart. I had menses for approx 5 days starting on feb 15th and then on march 16th. I expected a period on april 14th but it didnt come. I had intercourse on April 2nd. Approx a week before my period was due on april 14th, I started having breast soreness and intermittent nausea, fatigue, some lower belly cramping these have improved except for slightly enlarged breasts with some sensitivity but my period still hasnt come. I was sick the week into when my last period was due with a cold. Pregnancy tests have so far been negative (I even took one early in the morning as first morning void). Is there any chance I could be pregnant with negative pregnancy tests after my period was due? Today I noticed clearish/stringy cervical mucous (the kind you would expect around ovulation), im wondering if im experiencing late ovulation and just late menses?
Many women do not have clock-work-like menstrual periods. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including hyperplasia (where the lining of the uterus gets a little thicker then normal), uterine fibroids (benign tumors of the uterus that can cause irregular bleeding), uterine polyps (also a type of begin tumor-like structure), miscarriages, thyroid problems, excessive weight gain or weight loss, withdrawal of hormonal contraception, and uterine cancer. Additionally, the menstrual cycle can change a bit with increasing age, stress levels, and if you are around other females.

Should I reread In the Buddha's Words?
mikenz66 wrote:Hi PsychedelicSunSet
If you find "In the Buddha's Words" useful, I would recommend reading through it again with the help of Bhikkhu Bodhi's lectures: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2392
Bhikhku Bodhi also has an older series of lectures on the Majjhima Nikaya (MN) which I would recommend as the next step:
http://bodhimonastery.org/a-systematic- ... ikaya.html
This uses the same general classifications as In the Buddha's Words, and, in fact, he says in the introduction to In The Buddha's Words that he wrote that book after giving the MN talks.
Note that In the Buddha's Words uses a lot of Samyutta Nikaya (SN) material, so going through the MN will be a useful follow-on.
There are also many talks on MN suttas here: http://www.dhammaloka.org.au/component/ ... study.html and on several other sites.
PsychedelicSunSet wrote:Thank you very much for the recommendations and links. How exactly do the MP3's accompany the book? I see they're listed by Chapter. Do you read the chapter and then immediately listen to all of the talks? Should I slowly work through the MP3's while reading through the book?
PsychedelicSunSet wrote:And as for the MN talks, should I acquire a copy of Bhikku Bodhi's translation of The Middle Length Discourses to accompany the talks, or are the talks fine on their own? Thank you again for the advice.
PsychedelicSunSet wrote:And I have friends with heads on their shoulders, but I feel like most of them are unwilling to talk about things of that sort. I don't know how to address those sort of topics without sounding too "religious" so to speak, as I find most people instantly close their ears when confronted with things of the spiritual sort.
PsychedelicSunSet wrote:Thank you again. I look forward to trying to combine the talks with the book when I have more free time for a longer study session. Perhaps this upcoming Uposatha!
PsychedelicSunSet wrote:I've recently started trying to study Sutta. My practice consists of reading a chapter of the Dhammapada a day, and rereading and reflecting upon it through out the day, occasionally taking down verses that speak to me personally. As well as that, I read for about half an hour (or simply one chapter, depending) from In the Buddha's Words by Bhikku Bodhi before my nightly meditation. As I get closer to the end of In the Buddha's Words, I'm wondering what my next step should be. Should I reread the book? Or perhaps acquire a copy of one of Bhikku Bodhi's translations of the discourses of the Buddha? In the Buddha's Words seems to be a spoon feeding of the texts, which has been very nice, but I'm wondering if jumping into the deep end would be wise yet?
Any opinions on how I should proceed, or simply my study in general are welcome.

ALLEN PARK -- Jason Hanson equates the second half of the Detroit Lions season, to the way they have started eight of nine games so far.
"Well the fact is that we do know how to finish. I've never seen this team in the last couple years give up, per se,'' Hanson said on Monday. "So obviously what we've done in the games, we now have a chance to prove in the season.''
"We came out in the first half and didn't play as good as we should have the second half is here. The challenge is we did it to ourselves,'' Hanson said.
Jason Hanson is more than just the Lions kicker. He's a veteran of 21 seasons, he's a team captain he's seen all the lows and the highs too. The oldest player in the NFL has a feel for what's going on with this bunch.
Again, we've talked about slow starts way too much in the first 10 weeks. The only way to stop the talk is for the Lions to score early and often instead of playing catch-up from the get-go.
"There's the element of, it's the NFL, very few teams get the privilege of coming out and punishing teams week after week, right off the bat and demoralizing them,'' Hanson said.
"What I'm trying to say is we either have to be competitive or do that. You cause a lot of problems if you come out and you let the other team, especially in their home place, get going and get riled up and make some plays. Just asking for trouble and that's what we've been getting,'' he added.
Again in the 34-24 loss at the Vikings on Sunday, the Lions were down 10-0 before they broke a sweat. The comeback effort was valiant, but came up short.
Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, who make the offense go, struggled early again. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Stafford completed three of 10 passes when the scoring margin was less than 10 points and 25 of 32 and three touchdowns when the Lions trailed by 10 points or more. Calvin Johnson caught 11 of his 12 passes for 196 yards also when the margin was 10 points or more.
It's been this way all season. The Lions have been outscored 53-28 in first quarters and 107-75 in first halves.
Coach Jim Schwartz said that scheme is not the difference in the poor starts because it's the same both halves. Adjustments seem too slow, but they don't wait until half-time. They are made on the sidelines as the game progresses.
"I think we've executed better in the second half, obviously. I think, you know, you look at the first drive and we got the ball, we got a couple of first downs, we had positive plays, we were moving the ball very well. Then we had the 15-yard penalty and that derailed that drive,'' Schwartz said.
It's a mistake here and there -- including penalties and turnovers -- that has killed the Lions.
The previous week in Jacksonville the Lions scored 21 in the first half and went on to win. It was their most complete game.
"I think when you do that you don't hear talk like this. I think when what is significant here is that we have battled back,'' Schwartz said. "We haven't had those games that just completely slipped away and, you know, you had a 10-point deficit in the half and finishing with a 31-point loss or something like that.''
No, the Lions haven't given up in the games or as the season has progressed. Still a loss is a loss and they have five of them in the first nine games.
Their next three games are at home against Green Bay (6-3), Houston (8-1) and Indianapolis (6-3).
At 4-5, the Lions are barely hanging onto any playoff hopes. Schwartz reminded everyone again that the last two Super Bowl winners were 7-7 with two weeks left in the season.
"I don't think playoffs are important at this point,'' Hanson said. "We have to come out this week against Green Bay and play better and come out from the start if we have a chance to beat them.''
These Packers are no Jaguars. It won't be easy. It will be next to impossible if the Lions dig themselves into a hole early.
"We know how to fight back, we know how to keep playing, that's not the issue,'' Hanson said. "The one we have to take care of is coming out at the opening kickoff and looking like a better team.''
It would be a start.

The Minnesota Twins announced after today's game that they have optioned catcher Josmil Pinto to Triple-A Rochester. In 43 games for the Twins, Pinto hit .222 (30-for-135) with four doubles, seven home runs, 16 RBI and 20 walks.
To replace Pinto on the 25-man roster, the Twins will make a corresponding roster move prior to Friday night's game in Detroit.

discspeed wrote:Fightingthetide wrote:I'm trying to get a feel for the range of stability between Opto and GL, and in terms of dome height. What I think I understand so far is that Optos tend to have more dome and thus have more turn and fade, making them harder to control, whereas most GL's tend to have less dome amd are easier to control with less turn and less fade. Is that the case for Opto vs. GL? Or is that strictly dependent on dome and PLH?
Most consider discs that turn and fade easier to control....I haven't thrown a ton of Rivers, but I can say the FRs had a lot of really domey Optos and the GLs were all over the place. I'm happy to say the latest run seems more consistent across plastics. I haven't thrown any Rivers that were real flippy though. I've found the biggest difference to be weight...The ones around 170 require less power for the super glide than the heavies that work the same with a stronger throw.
I changed my post right before you responded because I know what I said was a bit off, as far as what a "controllable disc" is. That's what I was looking for, though. Thanks again for the help. I picked up a barely used 173 GL today that is almost identical to the one I ordered. It barely had any signs of wear, but the dome seemed more pronounced. I just wasn't sure if that would make it fly much different.


text: Has anyone else noted this problem? My Droid phone is about 18 months old so I began to look at new and coming phones. Being a very satisfied Droid Razor HD owner, I first looked at new Motorola phones, the Ultra/MAX/Mini and MOTO X. They all have one thing in common. There is no SD slot. In fact, the phone with the largest storage has 1/4 less than my current phone. Now I can survive with unwanted apps I cannot remove, less than state of the art screen resolution, even the stupidity of no USB digital audio out (as long as I can use USB Audio Recorder Pro app to fool the phone into doing what it should on its own) but less storage!!! I began checking and am discovering a LOT of new phones also seem to be limited to 32GB of storage forcing heavy users into the 'cloud', a really horrifying idea. Can someone recommend a NEW phone that has real HD resolution (1080 or better), a decent SD card capability and USB audio out? I have no desire to talk to the phone, wave my hands over the silly thing to get it to perform like a monkey for a monkey grinder, a gazillion apps I cannot remove, or gimmicks. I want a phone that I can use reliably to make the occasional call, store a LOT of music files, music video's, and use a good outboard DAC for high resolution music files. Any suggestions?

Robert Lichter reports on a survey of American climate scientists commissioned by STATS at GMU. Some of the findings:
In 1991 the Gallup organization conducted a telephone survey on global climate change among 400 scientists drawn from membership lists of the American Meteorological Association and the American Geophysical Union.
We repeated several of their questions verbatim, in order to measure changes in scientific opinion over time. On a variety of questions, opinion has consistently shifted toward increased belief in and concern about global warming. Among the changes:
In 1991 only 60% of climate scientists believed that average global temperatures were up, compared to 97% today.
In 1991 only a minority (41%) of climate scientists agreed that then-current scientific evidence "substantiates the occurrence of human-induced warming," compared to three out of four (74%) today.
Scientists find Al Gore much more reliable than the media:
Only 1% of climate scientists rate either broadcast or cable television news about climate change as "very reliable." Another 31% say broadcast news is "somewhat reliable," compared to 25% for cable news. (The remainder rate TV news as "not very" or "not at all" reliable.) Local newspapers are rated as very reliable by 3% and somewhat reliable by 33% of scientists. Even the national press (New York Times, Wall St. Journal etc) is rated as very reliable by only 11%, although another 56% say it is at least somewhat reliable.
Former Vice President Al Gore's documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth" rates better than any traditional news source, with 26% finding it "very reliable" and 38% as somewhat reliable. Other non-traditional information sources fare poorly: No more than 1% of climate experts rate the doomsday movie "The Day After Tomorrow" or Michael Crichton's novel "State of Fear" as very reliable.

Mag Drive Liquid Ring Pumps
The NASH 2BM1 magnet drive pump series is an enhancement to the dependable NASH 2BE1 series; it is capable of achieving flow rates of 550-13870 GPM (125 to 3150 m3/h) and vacuum of 1" HgA (33 mbar abs). They can also be used as low pressure compressors. Non-contact torque transmission is achieved via a permanent magnet drive system. The 2BM1 pump is hermetically sealed, eliminating any possibility of leakage. This seal is essential for safety in demanding applications, including hazardous and explosive environmental conditions. Certificates of compliance with all ATEX categories are available for the new NASH 2BM1.
The NASH 2BM1 pumps are completely enclosed and have no shaft seals, eliminating wear and maintenance issues associated with mechanical seals. Each pump's operating fluid is used for the lubrication and cooling of the bearings and magnetic coupling, eliminating the need for additional lubrication.
- flow rates of 550-13870 GPM
- vacuum of 1" HgA

We love our city and Morey's Piers' staff are not only willing to help out on the piers, but we love to serve our community as well. Today, Mike Wampler, Ken Clements, Anthony Canzano, Sarah Clements, Nancy Burrows and Kayla Long took some time out of their busy schedule preparing for Opening Day to participate in the United Way Hot Lunch Program.
Locals in need began arriving this morning at 11am for hot coffee and beverages, while our staff busily prepared salads, pasta and dessert. By 11:30am, Morey's staff was happily serving everyone in attendance a hot and nutritious meal.
Our staff served lunch, cleaned up all the trash and, afterwards, helped distribute clothing donated by the community for the needy. The United Way Hot Lunch program serves between 50 to 80 men, women and children a nutritious hot meal every week on Thursdays.
If you're doing a little spring cleaning soon, consider donating old clothes or those that no longer fit to your local United Way.

Carrie Fisher: 'I'll get Princess Leia right this time'
Carrie Fisher is determined to get her Star Wars heroine Princess Leia "right this time" when she reprises the character for J.J. Abrams' Episode VII. The actress has regrouped with Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill for the film in Britain, and, speaking at the Hay Festival in Wales on Saturday (24May14), she told the BBC she's determined to correct errors she made in her previous Star Wars movies.
She hopes to make the aged Leia "less British", adding, "I looked a little pretentious faking the accent." And she admits that, at 57, she looks a lot different to the character she first played in the mid-1970s, when she was a teenager. She jokes, "We all look a little melted." But she's excited to be a part of new film, adding, "It is good to have us all in a room because it's unique. I mean, I don't suppose they have reunions for the Gone With The Wind gang. "I think people should be forced to do it 30 years on, classic films that they had, either to make another film or put together an anecdote."

Universal Fit item created by , May 5, 2010
Pros - Bass, Mid-range
Cons - Non-replaceable cable
I would say that burn-in is a must for this earphone. Before burn-in, the earphone sounded unimpressive. I almost wanted to return or sell it off. It sounded so much better after burn-in.
The first thing that I noticed is the bass. There is a good quantity of it (once you get a good seal) but it is not muddy at all. It was very punchy. Using it for movies proved quite satisfying. I was impressed. I do not consider myself to be a basshead but I really enjoyed it, especially on rock songs.
The mids are slightly forward and it really brings out the voice of the singer. I liked it, especially on Jazz songs, which I guess is where they should really shine. I was using the UE TF10, which has often been mentioned as min-recessed. I actually did not find the TF10s to be objectionable in the mids but the tribute sort of brings me closer to the singer it seems.
The treble sounded brighter than the TF10s but not harsh. I'm not very particular with regards to treble as long as they sound natural and not harsh.
The soundstage is not particularly wide but sufficient. The TF10s sounded wider in this respect.
The tips included are comfortable and provided a good fit. I prefer the foam tips over the gels in terms of comfort and fit. The foam seems to be more durable than the comply tips.
On the whole I am very satisfied with the earphone. It seems to do well for all genres. However, a user-replaceable cable would have been a nice feature. There is slight micro-phonics (not objectionable) with the cable when wearing it straight down. The chrome finish seems to tarnish slightly after a month.

Learn to use digital editing techniques to show off your photos and memorabilia in Introduction to Digital Scrapbooking! Using Photoshop Elements 11, 12, or 13, this course will teach you how to make the most of your scrapbooking talents and artistic ideas when you combine traditional and digital scrapbooking.
Starting with simple projects, you'll quickly learn how to build pages, use artistic journaling, and produce sophisticated illusions. Photoshop Elements lets you build your own clip art, create frames, and develop multi-layer pages with an endless array of layouts and designs.
You'll see how to draw and create your own art, build collages and scrapbooks to share, and work with both color and black and white. If you need to restore or age images—the tools are all available to you.
Join us and take your scrapbooking to a new level!
Course Revised November 2014
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
In this lesson, you'll have an opportunity to experiment with and explore the many options for enhancing text. You'll see how to add color, shape, and styles, along with more advanced techniques like warping text to fit on objects, making circles with words, and transforming images into text. Journaling is an important part of the storytelling process, so let's put the words to work!
Whether you're working with scissors and glue or digital images, one of the ways to embellish scrapbook pages is to layer artistic elements. In our lesson today, we'll explore Adobe's layers so you can master the ability to build pages with many different pieces to create the look that tells your story best! We'll discuss sizing, background images, frames, and piecing together pages with multiple images, text, and clip art.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, 12, or 13 for Windows/Mac (software must be installed and fully operational before the course begins); Windows 7 / Vista / XP, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Due to a significant change in the look and menu appearance of Photoshop Elements starting with version 11, students with earlier versions of the software should upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11, 12, or 13 before starting this course. Instructions, screenshots, and examples all rely heavily on specific instructions for these versions.
Note: This course is written with the Windows version of the software. Mac students are welcome, but will need to make standard Windows/Mac keystroke conversions—many of which are included in the course material. Teaching staff has Mac software and equipment available and can help troubleshoot with Mac students to complete course material if necessary.

I have taken many classes from this instructor. This was by far the most interesting and inspirational. Please plan a "Part II" to this course!
Beverly Schulz is never disappointing! The lessons are written in an extremely easy to read style. The assignments and quizzes are an excellent review of the material covered. I've recommended this course and other Photoshop courses to anyone wishing to learn it! I do not attend classes on campus simply because I am hearing impaired so this is perfect.
Beverly and her teaching assistant, Eric, are excellent instructors. I especially like the fact that they repeat basic information in subsequent chapters so we don't have to constantly go back and look it up…The lessons in this class are easy to follow and therefore it is easy to learn the techniques.
Excellent course -- and lots of fun!! The instructor and her assistant put together enjoyable projects that introduced me to the many great features of Photoshop Elements 10. The lessons were well organized and presented clearly, the material was engaging and there was lots of help if needed. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in digital scrapbooking or working with Photoshop Elements.
This was a fun and informative course. The lessons were just the right length and the instructions were very easy to follow. Highly recommended.
This is an excellent course. The Instructor's knowledge of the subject matter and the professional, easy-to-understand presentation of the material were excellent. Not only did I learn a lot from taking the course, I was given many ways to continue learning about the software and its capabilities on my own. It was a very enjoyable learning experience. I am hoping that there will be a part two added in the future.

In 1887, at the height of the British rule, colonial Nepalese soldiers began to make their own cigars from the local tobacco. In so doing, the British acquired a fondness for these legendary fighters, and inspired them to name their cigars "Gurkhas." With over a century of history, today Gurkha cigars are blended by K. Hansotia with the finest tobaccos for a rich-tasting and satisfying smoke of extraordinary quality.
Who knows what lurks in the heart of Gurkha Evil cigars? A rare and exclusive shade-grown Brazilian Mata Fina Wrapper surrounds an exquisite Nicaraguan long-filler core with a perfect Dominican binder for a spicy, full-bodied smoke at a reasonable price.
You have your Japanese Ninja and your American Ninja, but if you want a robust, medium-full-bodied cigar that provides a killer smoking experience, get to know Gurkha Ninja cigars. When lit, its Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, Criollo '98 binder, and sweet, dark Brazilian wrapper stealthily build to a perfectly-balanced crescendo of flavor and complexity. Their sensible price makes Gurkha Ninja an excellent value, too.
If you're in the market for something really special, Gurkha 125th Anniversary cigars offers you an intriguing medium-bodied cigar with a very smooth and complex taste profile that earned a "96" tasting score in European Cigar Journal magazine. Made to commemorate Gurkha's 125th Anniversary, K. Hansotia has blended select Nicaraguan, Brazilian, and Dominican long-fillers bound in an Ecuadorian, Habano leaf, and deftly rolled them in an oily Brazilian Habano wrapper. The smoke brims with flavorful notes of rich tobacco along with subtle hints of sweet spice, vanilla, and chestnut, depending on your palate. Presented in an elegant wooden case suitable as a cigar humidor.
If you're a bargain hunter Gurkha Templar cigars are just what you're looking for in a really good cigar that delivers on superb quality, great taste, and value. Presented in soft packs, the cigars have a medium-bodied blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers, Colombian binder and a blemish-free Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. The smoke is straightforward and very creamy, starting off with some peppery spice that gives way to more earthy elements, including sweet cedar and some oaky notes. Though it's not as complex as some other Gurkha cigars, Templar offers a solid, full-flavored experience that will leave you wanting more.
When a cigar has the name "Xtreme" on the band, you know you're in for a wild ride. Enter Gurkha Xtreme cigars. Rolled in a spicy Nicaraguan wrapper that surrounds a proprietary filler & binder blend, these cigars redefine the word "potent." Even the boxes have a design that dares you to open it. All of the shapes are rolled to wide ring gauges offering even more muscle to the smoke. If you pride yourself on smoking strong cigars, you'll find Gurkha Xtreme extremely savory, flavorful, and satisfying.

- How to Read a Study Record
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the effectiveness of an investigational drug, which is cisplatin in this trial, to learn how well it works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that cisplatin is still being studied for use in this setting and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it-in this case, how effective cisplatin is for treating breast cancer in BRCA mutation carriers. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved cisplatin for your type of cancer. Cisplatin has been approved by the FDA for treatment of other cancers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug that has been shown to be active in the treatment of women with breast cancer and a BRCA mutation. In this study, we are comparing cisplatin to the standard chemotherapy, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide ("AC") that you might receive if you did not participate in this study.

|A Randomized Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Cisplatin vs. Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide (AC) in Women With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer and Germline BrCa Mutations
- pCR to neoadjuvant cisplatin vs. pCR to AC [ Time Frame: 3 years ]To determine if the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate (determined by the Miller-Payne method) to neoadjuvant cisplatin is at least 20% greater than the pCR to doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and a germline BRCA mutation.
- Residual Cancer Burden after neoadjuvant cisplatin or AC [ Time Frame: 2 years ]To determine the Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) after neoadjuvant cisplatin or doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and a germline BRCA mutation.
- Clinical response rate [ Time Frame: 2 years ]To determine the clinical response rate, defined as the number of partial and complete responses, after preoperative therapy with either cisplatin or AC in participants with germline BRCA mutation and breast cancer.
- Comparison of toxicities of cisplatin and AC [ Time Frame: 2 years ]To compare the toxicities of cisplatin and AC preoperative chemotherapy in BRCA mutation carriers with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Toxicities including (but not limited to) hematologic, GI (e.g., Nausea/vomitting), renal and neurologic will be assessed.
- Collection of pre-chemotherapy biopsies [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Pretreatment tumor biopsies will be analyzed using genome wide SNP profiling to determine number of regions of telomeric allelic imbalance (NtAI) and chromosome 15q26 copy number, and chromosome 8q22 copy number. Tumor sections will be examined for gene amplifications, losses and NtAI in tumors. Gene expression profiling will be performed to determine intrinsic subtype (basal-like, claudin-low, etc.) and to measure biomarker genes including BLM and FANCI associated with cisplatin sensitivity or LAPTM4B and YWHAZ associated with anthracycline resistance. Exploratory analysis will be performed to seek new measures of therapy response using the data from DNA copy number and gene expression profiles. In addition, we will plan to perform whole exome and possibly whole genome sequencing of tumors to identify potential modifiers of response to therapy.

PAULA Walker admitted seeing her 'clueless' mum's smiling face for the first time at a bobsleigh track washed away all of the disappointment she felt about her second Winter Olympic campaign.
Trowbridge pilot Walker placed 11th in the two-woman bobsleigh on her Games debut in 2010 with brakewoman Kelly Thomas but finished one spot lower in 12th with Olympic newcomer Rebekah Wilson in Sochi.
Her second set of two runs on Wednesday were slower than her first set of two on Tuesday as she posted 58.88 and 58.60 seconds for an overall time of 3:54.24 minutes.
However, with her mum Denise watching her live for the first time ever and waving ecstatically as she crossed the finishing line after her fourth run, Walker couldn't help but smile too.
Walker's Nan, uncle and cousins were all also interested spectators at the Sanki Sliding Centre – although she admitted her family are far from experts in her chosen career of choice.
"I saw my mum in stands screeching away and she looked like she was having a good time, which is fine. If she is having a good time, I am too," said Walker.
"I don't think she has really got a clue what's going on, I don't think she has. It is a bizarre concept for me. I went through my eight years of bobsleigh without anyone supporting me in terms of being here.
"I was a bit worried that it was going to distract me but when I crossed the finish line, whether it was a really crap run or not, the fact that my mum is there still smiling because she hasn't got a clue just really makes me smile too.
"No athlete comes in wanting to come 12th at the Olympics but to put it into perspective both Rebekah and I have had a long, long journey in different ways but we have made it to the Olympics and I think we have done ourselves proud."
Canadian Kaillie Humphries staged a remarkable comeback over the final two runs on Wednesday to defend her Olympic title in a time of 3:50.61.
Meanwhile Walker admitted a sizeable mistake during the first of their second set of runs ended all hopes they had themselves of progressing up the field.
"With this track the characteristics are such that if you make a mistake before corner six it is game over and I made a monumental mistake between corners two to three," she added.
"It was only to do with me, nothing to do with Rebekah, and we lost about half a second. On the fourth run we just had to come back and I had to make sure I drove it as best as possible.
"You can't climb places when you make mistakes like that but we have done our best and that is all you can do."

9 Fabulous Bedrooms for Every Style
"This is a really green turquoise (South Beach 2043 by Benjamin Moore). It reminds me of sea glass, and we used it in a beach house that was all about fresh air and fresh color. I probably wouldn't have chosen it for solid cabinet fronts, but it worked well in the back, as an accent color. And it tied in with other things we used in the kitchen." -Jason Bell

I think DW's comment at the very end of the article is interesting about the Pacers being ready for Rick's style of coaching when maybe they weren't a few years ago. Perhaps a self serving comment by DW, but I know the pacers were ready for Rick's approach after the past three years.
Addressing issues before trouble starts
Carlisle's direct coaching style keeps Pacers on right track
By Mark Montieth
February 13, 2004
LOS ANGELES -- As a 10th-grader in upstate New York, Rick Carlisle once won an award for a speech on interpersonal relationships. The story he told, while seemingly innocent and inconsequential, spoke volumes about what would become his coaching style.
Carlisle had been at a party with friends one evening. They had been drinking and he had not, so he drove them all home. That caused him to miss his 9 p.m. curfew, but he avoided trouble with his parents by immediately explaining the circumstances.
He was forgiven, the matter was dropped and life went on.
Fast forward to his coaching career with the Indiana Pacers, one that was thrust upon him less than a month before the start of training camp, and it's obvious he's taking a similar approach to conflicts both real and potential.
Carlisle's quick and decisive style is a major reason the Pacers have a 39-14 record at the NBA All-Star break, earning him the chance to coach the Eastern Conference team in the league's showcase game here on Sunday.
Carlisle hasn't had many major issues with the Pacers, either on or off the court. Perhaps his bud-nipping style is one of the reasons. Whether it's calling a quick timeout to stop an opposing team's run or calling a player on his cell phone to head off a misunderstanding, not much gets by him.
"It's part of my personality, I guess," Carlisle said. "I deal with things directly and quickly in most cases. I've seen where a lack of decisiveness or a period of doubt can really hurt a team.
"When you talk about decisiveness, you're getting back to what this business is about, which is communication. The quicker you can address issues, the quicker you can give positive or negative feedback, the better your situation is going to be moving forward."
The irony is that Carlisle was fired in Detroit last May 31, after coaching the Pistons to two 50-win seasons, for a supposed lack of communication with his players and management. Although only one Pistons player, Chucky Atkins, offered a public complaint along those lines, the anonymous whispers were that Carlisle wasn't getting along with players, management and/or ownership.
"It became kind of a smear campaign," said Kevin O'Neill, a Carlisle assistant with the Pistons and now the head coach in Toronto. "But it smeared Rick right into a $4 million-a-year job and it smeared me into a $2 million-a-year job. So we don't feel too smeared."
Nor does Carlisle feel vindicated at this break in the season. He didn't believe the reported problems were credible, for one thing. For another, he didn't get into coaching to gain personal honor.
"My concern is working as hard as possible to help the players improve and put them in a position to succeed," he said, offering a de facto mission statement.
Carlisle's intense, no-nonsense approach has rubbed some people the wrong way over the years. His first year as Larry Bird's assistant coach with the Pacers, in the 1997-98 season, included some conflicts with people outside the locker room, and then-team president Donnie Walsh told him he needed to improve his personal manner.
"And he did," Walsh said. "He really did, I thought."
Carlisle has elicited no such complaints this season. His calm, consistent, modest approach, symbolized by the white shirt and slip-on loafers he wears at every game, has worked well for a maturing team that's still occasionally volatile.
Nothing festers, on the court or off. Just as when he was a 10th-grader, he believes quick dialogue can erase a potential conflict.
"Rick handles everything extremely well," Austin Croshere said. "It's never about him. It's always about what's in the best interests of the team and getting us to win as many games as possible. It's never anything other than that. And he never wavers from that.
"You realize, 'Hey, this guy's doing what needs to be done for us to win; I need to do that.' He's just done a great job of dealing with individual circumstances. Because of that, it's prevented other things from arising."
Regular dialogue
Carlisle does more than put out fires. He's said to be a willing communicator on a daily basis, with starters and reserves alike. His former and current players who have been contacted speak glowingly of his willingness to interact with them.
"He was always somebody, after a good game or bad game, I could go to his room and watch film," said Jalen Rose, a Pacer during Carlisle's three seasons as Bird's assistant. "He'd call me and say, 'Are you watching such-and-such game tonight?' We had the same thirst and respect for the game. I never felt we had a problem communicating."
To outsiders, Carlisle can appear introverted and, as Walsh says, "always lost in his head somewhere." But Michael Curry, who started during Carlisle's two seasons in Detroit and now plays in Toronto for O'Neill, says that doesn't carry over to the players.
"Rick communicates with the players a lot," said Curry, president of the NBA Players Association. "He has a lot of individual meetings, a lot of small two- or three-player meetings. There were times we would go on the road and as soon as we got into the next town he would bring the captains into his room just to see if everybody knew how important the next game was. Something as simple as that. He was always communicating with the guys."
Carlisle's bizarre experience in Detroit is ancient history now, and the reasons for his dismissal won't seem relevant this weekend in Los Angeles. His team is 61/2games ahead of the Pistons in the Central Division standings and, compared to the rest of the NBA, an oasis of stability after a rocky summer.
Isiah Thomas, the Pacers coach who directed the Eastern Conference in last year's All-Star game, stands as an example of how quickly things can change in the NBA. But Carlisle's style, for now, appears to be working.
"The team is ready for it," Walsh said. "It needed structure. The structure that Rick brings, it was exactly the right time for our team to have that, where it might not have been two or three years ago."

WWE Issues That Need Fixed ASP!
by, 02-22-2013 at 02:43 PM (5460 Views)
Hey been a wrestling fan my whole life. Only time I didn't watch it was while I was in Iraq with USMC between the years of 03 to 07. I have noticed some things that just irritate me about the WWE as of latly. Things that could go well for the show or prevent them from losing it if they fix it.
Team Hell No- Well Hell is one way too put it. That is where I feel like I am while watching this cheesy story line. Bryan is so talented and could easily be the next big little man. They should totally get him out of this tag team and move him toward bigger better things. Kane is supposed to be what Undertaker is. Weather or not Taker is going to show this year Kane could be what the WWE needs in Taker's absents. Orton put it well on Raw. At one point he would have been scared but now he is like Barney. WWE fix this! Kane should be more than a joke. He should be the one wrestlers fear. No more Hugs, More chokeslams and fire pits please!
Divas Division- This is about to go away sadly. The divas rarely get a match any more and when they do it's the lowest rated segment on the show. The diva's division used to be my favorite part of the show. But now there just not that good any more. They spend to much time shaking there ass than being a wrestler. I watch the replays of Trish for HOF tribute and I get goose bumps from the memories. Trish, lita those where the good old days. Kaitlyn, Tamina, AJ so on, there good but there no Trish and honestly I don't see anyone caring when or if they go in the HOF. Or atleast the WWE doesn't allow them to be. Better story lines for DIVA's is needed ASP! They can be so much more than Cheerleaders. Allowing them to be like TNA was prior to Hogan. Unique Characters, better match types, weapons, cages, back stage fights. TNA did all this at one point and had the best womens division. It was the only reason I watched TNA for awhile. WWE fix this before you lose your divas.
Shield-Not much to fix here. Great story, has what is needed to make a future HOF Stable like DX, 4 Horsement, NWO so on. All I ask is if your giving them a leader. Make it count. RKO, Shamus, Henry, these guys are all rumored and people just would not buy it. These guys have played heels so many times that people would be sick of it. Cena has what it takes. He is what Hogan was when he joined NWO. A baby face good guy who always had fans around his finger. I remember that night. Fans trash the ring with garbage because of how shocked and outraged they where. It was awesome! Cena I believe would be what it takes to get that reaction today. Anyone else would not matter. Cena would be what it takes to help Shield become the modern NWO!
Swagger- If he doesn't get suspended for his recent arrest. They need to ditch this Tea party thing. He has the talent to be the next top heel. As long as they keep him off the Mic. Sorry his lisp just irritates me. but him playing a quiet dominating type character would be perfect for him. Please WWE, lose the fat man with the stach and the political BS with Swagger.
These are a few of many things that could be changed. Just wanted to get the ball rolling with other ideas from you guys. This is my personnel opinions only and feel free to comment and let me know what you think or what you feel needs changed.

Good morning forum,
Perhaps I need to spend more time observing this phenomena, but last night I observed deep resistance in regards to the emptiness of existence or the ultimate end of projections (i.e. rebirths). I am left puzzled as to the category of hindrance to further create an objective observation.
Is this a "more" clear experience of the resistance to not self, suffering, and impermanence? I am trying to articulate this in a relatable fashion, but after having contemplated impermanence and not self at length I can feel a "grasping resistance" within to both. As if ignorance (if it was an entity) deep within is saying "OH HELL NOOO!!!" and wants to keep projecting and desire arises for an enticing belief set that allows the imagination run wild. Intellectually not self, impermanence, and suffering are agreeable, however deep within there is a multi-facet arising of frustrated resistance to it.
Or am I experiencing hindrances for what they really are: friction /resistance?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Oy, the constraints of human language.

Cards call it a season for top-pick Weaver
ST. LOUIS -- Luke Weaver, the Cardinals' top pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft, won't throw another pitch this season, as the Cardinals have shut down the right-hander due to workload concerns.
The decision to end Weaver's season after his Aug. 8, start for Palm Beach was not all that unexpected or unusual for an organization that closely monitors the innings count of all their first-year players. Weaver had already thrown 106 1/3 innings at Florida State University before the Cardinals made him the 27th-overall pick in June.
Weaver began his pro career with the Gulf Coast League club in July before being promoted to Class A Advanced Palm Beach after two starts. Combined, Weaver made six starts covering 9 1/3 innings. He allowed eight runs on 15 hits and four walks while striking out 12.
Weaver will not participate in the organization's upcoming Instructional League, said Gary LaRocque, the Cardinals' director of player development.

I think I said it quite a few times in there, but you have to wait for the glue to dry. The disc is wet in one of the pics, after being dyed and rinsing.
You can't dye with the glue not set, and you can't remove the glue AFTER the dye without letting the glue dry again.
Key word here: DRY.
Luckily, Elmer's dries quickly, and turns clear when done. Easy to tell, just gotta read.

But his jumper is still pretty bad needs to fix it but from every scouting report I have read has tons of ability to get to the rim and finish and also a good passer. His knocks is his body and jumper some say he needs a year or 2 too work on his body.

http://www.eurohopes.com/player/743/evan-fournier/ has a video and shows some of his game
I am looking for tape of the dude on the internet but the french league I cant seem to find.c I watched him play in the summit a few years ago but all star games arent really a good setting to watch a dude and see what kind of skill set he has. wish I could find some tape of him.
EDIT: this video came out think it's from saturday he shows off some nice vision.

I was five. Kindergarten graduation day. I was totally into the cute boy with the "rat tail" hair style and the hi-top sneaks with multi-colored, neon laces.
That's my first memory of crushing on a dude. Though according to this guy, it never happened. I'm either a liar or a victim of child abuse when I look back on such puppy attractions (which would of course be received as benign and adorable if they were male-female). Oh, and a certain talk show host is a "big headed" source of rage if she gives credence to the remembrances:
But don't worry. Somehow we think Oprah will find solace in either her blankie, a warm shoulder, or the gagillion dollar empire that bears her name.
As for this writer? Well l find solace in knowing that my biological attractions weren't faked, because there was no reason to fake them. And this was true when those attractions had nothing to do with my junk and where I wanted to place it, and everything to do with my impetus to ditch pal Nicole whenever Ethan requested a pretend opponent for his pretend Hulk Hogan.
