Game One of the NBA Finals earned an 18.0/32 national rating, making it the highest-rated Game One in NBA Finals history. The previous high was a 16.8, which was reached twice before, in '93 and '96 -- both Bulls series. NBC estimates that 53.3 million viewers saw all or part of the game, topping the '96 Bulls-Sonics (48 million) as the most watched Game One in history. In the home markets, Salt Lake City got a 56.1/75 and Chicago earned a 47.2/67 (THE DAILY).
News Corp. President Peter Chernin told Fox affils that they "must show greater willingness to share programming costs with the network if they want to stay competitive," during Fox's affils conference in L.A., according to Davies & Rice of the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. Chernin: "(The) next time event programming becomes available, if Fox hesitates because of a worry about the financial consequences, I would contend that this would be potentially disastrous for us all." The comments came as Fox "was trying to hammer out an arrangement" with its affils regarding its $4.4B NFL deal (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 6/5). DAILY VARIETY's Jenny Hontz reports that Fox Sports Exec Producer Ed Goren told affils that Fox will be in a "war" with CBS next year for viewers. But Hontz writes that "the war was going on between Fox and its affils." Sources say that "heated words were exchanged in two closed-door meetings" between Fox and its affiliate board (Jenny Hontz, DAILY VARIETY, 6/5).
Four years "after scoring surprisingly high" ratings with the World Cup, ESPN and ABC "are hoping for a repeat performance this summer," according to Breznick & Reynolds of CABLE WORLD. Along with ESPN2, the networks will show all 64 World Cup '98 games live in the U.S. for the first time. Tournament coverage begins June 10 with two games on ESPN. Both ESPN and ESPN2 will run 30-minute pre-game shows before each match, and ESPN2 will also present a 30-minute wrapup program each night. ESPN, which averaged a 1.8 rating for 41 telecasts in '94, "is shooting for at least a 1.1 to 1.3 average." ABC, which will show 14 games, including all three scheduled Team USA games, declined to project a rating. In '94, ABC averaged a 5.3 for 11 telecasts. ESPN is also "already pitching" next year's Women's World Cup to advertisers. ESPN "is seeking six prime sponsors" for its coverage (CABLE WORLD, 6/1).
The July issue of Inside Sports "will be its last," according to Keith Kelly of the N.Y. DAILY NEWS. IL-based Century Publishing is selling the book to CA-based Petersen Publishing, which "will shut down the title and offer paid subscribers its own" Sport magazine. Kelly's industry sources estimate the deal at $8M. A "last-minute effort" by Inside Sports Publisher Jerry Croft "to lead a management buyout" was unsuccessful. Kelly reports that about 20 people "are out of work" as a result of the shutdown. Inside Sports' circulation was up 2% in the second half of '97, at 751,151, while Sport's circulation was down 4.1% to 751,968. Century Chair Norman Jacobs, on the reason for the sale: "I heard that Disney/Hearst were willing to spend $50 to $100 million on ESPN [Magazine] to go up against Sports Illustrated. ... Petersen had a very nice offer on the table -- and I decided it was time to let the big boys slug it out" (Keith Kelly, N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 6/5). In Chicago, Tim Jones writes that the sale "marks the first bloodshed in a sports magazine war redefined in March" with the launch of ESPN Magazine (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 6/5).
ESPN: Responding to a Hollywood Reporter story that showed a decline in ratings for ESPN and "SportsCenter," while noting an increase in ratings for "Fox Sports News," ESPN's Mike Soltys said, "Nielsen research for the February sweeps in 39 major markets shows that Fox's rating went down, not up. SportsCenter delivers eight times the audience of Fox Sports News" (USA TODAY, 6/5). As for ESPN's ratings dip, Soltys pointed to fragmentation throughout the TV sports audience, adding that "a lot of our fragmentation is partially internal," with viewers shifting to ESPN2, ESPNews or Classic Sports Network (THE DAILY)....ESPN's Stuart Scott signed a multi-year contract extension (HARTFORD COURANT, 6/5)....Excite Inc. said it has reached a deal with Disney to provide access to some Disney Web sites, including ESPN SportsZone and ABC.com (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 6/5). THE THREE AMIGOS ON NBC: In Boston, Howard Manly writes that NBC's NBA crew "is not perfect," but Bob Costas, Isiah Thomas and Doug Collins "are right just a little more than they are wrong" (BOSTON GLOBE, 6/5). In L.A., Larry Stewart writes that without Doug Collins, NBC "would be saddled with the possibly the worst announcing team on an NBA finals since the CBS days of Brent Musburger and Tommy Heinsohn." He says Collins "might be the best basketball commentator since Rick Barry" (L.A. TIMES, 6/5)....The distant relationship between N.Y. Post columnist/NBC analyst Peter Vecsey and his brother, N.Y. Times columnist George Vecsey, is profiled by SI's S.L. Price. Jazz President Frank Layden, on Peter's influence in NBA circles: "I see it in our people: They're afraid of him. Even people in the league -- higher up -- are afraid of him." NBC's Bob Costas says Peter "carries grudges, he exacts his revenge. Get on his s---list, and you stay there for a long time" (SI, 6/8). NOTES: In N.Y., Richard Sandomir reports that Saturday's Evander Holyfield-Henry Akinwande SET PPV fight will use a camera mounted 25 to 35 feet above the ring. The camera will follow fighters in their ring walks and to "peer at them" between rounds (N.Y. TIMES, 6/5)....In N.Y., Allen Barra reviewed "The Commissioners," the new book by Chicago Tribune columnist Jerome Holtzman and published by Total Sports. Barra writes that the book about MLB's leaders "is a mostly sad and comic chronicle about men who were hired under personal services contracts by the owners and almost immediately fell under the delusion that they represented the fans and the players as well" (N.Y. TIMES, 5/31).
The season premiere of HBO's "Arli$$," a Tollin/Roberts Production, airs this Sunday at 9:30pm. In the initial episode, titled "My Job Is To Get Jobs," AMM client Theo Holt is a reliable backup QB capable of winning games. But when Theo's team releases him, and no other team signs him, Arliss begins to wonder. When he learns of a league-wide rumor that Theo is gay, he resurrects Theo's career as only Arliss can. Cameos include Oscar De La Hoya, Bob Kraft, Al Michaels, Ken Norton Jr. and Craig Sager (THE DAILY). REAX: In N.Y., David Bianculli gives the episode two- and-a-half stars and calls Robert Wuhl "fun to watch" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 6/5). In Baltimore, Milton Kent writes that "if the first episode is any marker, 'Arli$$' will provide a hilarious way to pass the long, hot summer" (Baltimore SUN, 6/4). In L.A., Larry Stewart writes that the series "might be the funniest show" on TV (L.A. TIMES, 6/4).

Standards groups move toward cooperation
IEEE and IEC leaders announce plans to improve cooperation between the two groups, with the ultimate goal of co-developing international standards.
In a joint statement , the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) declared their intention to work together to get international standards in sync. The move broadens an existing cooperation agreement, which lays out procedures for submitting and approving existing IEEE standards to IEC, to include a procedure permitting joint, parallel development of a project in both organizations leading to an IEC/IEEE International Standard.
The agreement is an addendum to the original IEC-IEEE Dual Logo Agreement, signed in October 2002; the first standard completed under the IEC/IEEE agreement was published in May 2004.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

©2006 Jennifer Crusie; (P)2006 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"A romantic comedy that adds luster to the genre, this effervescent tale will please readers who can relate to Sophie's undaunted exploration of all her desires." (Publishers Weekly)
"Funny, sexy, and wise - it's time to welcome Crusie into the pantheon of top-flight romance writers." (Kirkus Reviews)
"The "heat" made me "shudder""
I listened to Crusie's book "Faking It" with the same narrator and some of the same characters and absolutely loved it! So this one has been a rather rude shock. I'm definitely no prude, but at slightly more than halfway through, the overly frequent and interminable descriptions of the sex scenes between Sophie and the mayor are not only NOT a turn-on, they have finally forced me to fast forward through them in irritation. I don't know the actual word count of this book, but at least half of them are variations of "shiver", shudder", and "heat". Especially "heat". Sometimes it appears more than once in the same sentence. I finally concluded that either Jennifer was having a private joke at my expense, or had to meet a deadline by padding out a short story. Save the credit on this one.
"Truly Enjoyable Listen"
I have found that this book to be such a relaxing listen. The storyline is cute and the narrator is great. I find I smile a lot while listening to it.
"Welcome to Temptation"
The story was good but I really did not like the narrator at all.
"Hollywood, give us screwball comedy's like these."
Love all Jennifer Crusie books. She sets a scene like a screwball comedy of old. Her dialog snaps and keeps the pace moving along nicely. It would be wonderful to see just one of her books on film. In all her books there is always that "one" scene when it come together and friends & enemy alike square off for a side splitting comedy, that it's a delight to read again and again, just to visualize it in your head!
"One of my favorite Cruise books"
This is a cute, funny romance novel. If you just need to de-stress from a busy day and wants some laughs all wrapped up in a romance story, this should do the trick.
The narration was fine but a little fast. She should slow it down just a bit.
"Temptation is fun"
Oh, it's about the same as most of the others.
I just crack up every time I think of the different paint jobs on the water tower.
Welcome To Temptation is one of my favorite Jennifer Crusie books, so when I was between novels and wanted to listen to something fun and easy I picked it up--I have been enjoying listening to the Audible versions of all of her novels.
"Brilliance at its best"
Number One because there is humour, sex, great storylines going on
Faking It - same author and narrator This one is my Second best book. Lots of humour, sex, drama and brilliant vocalisation.
Yes Aasne Vigesaa's vocalisation of male and female characters, young, old, sophisticated, rough as, is brilliant listening. I enjoy listening to her - could listen to her story telling all day.
Laughed a lot, enjoyed it thoroughly.
Would highly recommend it if you do not mind sex, humour and a great plot. Highly entertaining book.
"One of my favorite audio books"
This is one my favorite audio books. Most romance novels have terrible narration, I find myself picking books as much for the narrator as I do the story or author. The narrator nails this story, gets the edginess and humor of the characters. It's funny and sexy story and the characters are rich and three dimensional. If only most audio books could deliver this kind of storytelling. I have listened to this book more than once and it enjoy it every time
"Cruise does it again"
And again and again and again! I couldn't put this DOWN! Loved all aspects of this book, and can't wait to read Davy's book (already have it... just waiting now!). This book was all over the place, but somehow... Cruise can pull it off and make it just glow!
Single mayor, young motherless child, struggling porn producers, murder, nosey small town, and a hoopla of hilarious family.... oh ya, and romance! who knew it was such an awesome combo!
"Loved it! Excellent chick lit!"
Really enjoyed this book. It is light and frothy but not an insult to your intelligence. I like Jennifer Crusie's writing and stories. Will definitely listen to more of hers. Also liked the narrator a lot and highly recommend her as well.

I actually thought the winning dress was ugly. It looked too tight across the top and the model looked like she was hunched forward because of the ill fit. Also the little puffed out shoulders were ugly and don't get me started on that print! I actually really like Kenley's vibe but I don't think this dress should have won.
I've pin pointed why this season is coming off so poor compared to the other seasons. In the past the majority of the designers were there because they had a passion for design and HAD to express that, they HAD to make things and be creative. The majority of the designers this season have studied the Reality TV hand book and are just trying to get sound bites and more face time. *sighs* they are there to be on TV and not to make great designs.

If you're a regular theatergoer, every now and again you see a performance so complete, commanding, individual, that the player is a glorious reminder of why you continue to go when so many productions merely suffice, if not disappoint.
That's what happens watching James Hansen Prince's astounding performance as the hulking man-child Lennie in Theatre on the Square's vital production of John Steinbeck's affecting classic Of Mice and Men.
With furrowed brow and gaping mouth, and the distracted air of a dim mind, Prince's Lennie is at once instantly recognizable and thoroughly new: the famous injured innocent, victim of both his own retarded strength and the harsh world. Prince's Lennie is as good as John Malkovich's recent screen characterization -- even better, because Malkovich's palpable intelligence is inappropriate for Lennie.
Speaking in clipped rhythms and sluggish consonants, Prince's voice is the disturbing means to disturbed ends: the hesitant sputtering about his pipe dream -- one day tending rabbits and living off the fat of the land; the worrisome repetitions-cum-incantations of what George, his beloved travel partner who watches out for him, has told him to help keep him out of trouble; the limited tones of not understanding why he breaks the necks of the nice soft things he loves to pet -- mice, puppies, girls. With an imposing physicality befitting the part, Prince rocks when Lennie is happy, cradles himself when he's upset. He paws at confidant George, and he cowers as the reluctant warrior who defeats a runt bully by squeezing the fist he has caught till it snaps. The trust in, reliance upon, love for and fear of George that Prince gives Lennie are remarkable. His naked wail near play's end is wrenching; his final words to his only pal, numbing.
Also excellent is Allen Dorris as George, tolerantly irritated about caring for a misfit who's proud that he can make streams wrinkly by drinking from them but, as George puts it, is too dumb to abandon because he would starve to death. Exuding the wary resignation of a cumbersome life, Dorris, with a backwoods accent full of country knowledge the character can't fully use, is quick to tell Lennie he could've had a swell life if it weren't for him, but is as quick to let him know he doesn't mean it. A callused lost soul who nevertheless is hurting, Dorris' stubbled, cautious, hampered George is worlds away from his easy Cary-Grant-as-Mortimer takeoff in The Actors Theatre's recent Arsenic and Old Lace. He's quite moving when, despairing and dazed, he realizes not only that he and Lennie will never buy a ranch, but also that he knew this all along. He sags when it hits him what must happen to Lennie; then he steels himself, somehow compassionately, at the sad moment. As he has grown used to Lennie, we grow used to him.
Playing grizzled Candy, the one-handed sweeper desperate to get in on Lennie and George's homestead fantasy, Grant Kilpatrick keeps pace with the commanding leads. Employing the slurred speech of an impoverished laborer who can't afford dentures, Kilpatrick totters with the fidgets of palsy and the ineffective outrage of old age. (What range: Last year he was hysterically effective as a lecherous old queen in The Group Theatre Workshop's Earl, Ollie, Austin & Ralph.) It's agonizing to watch his lonely attachment to a dog he's been around so long that he doesn't even know it's stinking in decay. (The animal, by the way, acts its hangdog part well, even barking on cue.)

When these actors are on stage together they create vivid, immediate theater -- so much so that you don't really mind the inadequacies of the supporting cast. Scott Cascadden is grating instead of invidious as Curley, the punk who picks on big guys because he isn't one himself and who keeps one hand gloved in Vaseline to stroke his wife. Sandra Rios makes Curley's wife an innocent yearner, although she isn't sensual enough to warrant the red dress she struts around in, causing a type of trouble the men fear. Darrell Walter Bell's Carlson is supposed to menace Candy about his dog, but he and the scene fall flat, and Hosea Lamont Simmons is too refined to be the angry, ostracized, hunchbacked "nigra" Crooks. The lesser players are even more disappointing and stilted. The play drags at times because of all of them: near the end, for instance, when they can't carry the tense weight of reacting to the shocking events.
This breach falls on Prince as director. So do the show's slipshod technics. The ragtag set -- bales of hay, blankets, crates, farm equipment -- is a little too naturalistic. Or not naturalistic enough, given the inconvenience of the visibly cluttered wings: Texas Junk Company's cast-off steel bookcases, hanging sleds, suitcases, typewriters, even cars under tarp. If Prince, founder of Theatre on the Square, cleaned up the place, he could enlarge the stage, foster significant blocking and create more and better seating (right now they use discarded sofas), not to mention install an adequate heating system and a stage door that doesn't have to double as the audience entrance.
Jason Stone's too-dim lighting is the same for every scene: dull yellow. Sometimes the actors' faces are barely visible. Flannels, jeans, shitkickers and cowboy duds work for costumes, but the frog-chirping, bird-tweeting, owl-hooting, coyote-howling sound effects inexplicably disappear after the first scene, while twangy guitar blues inexplicably appear only after intermission.
In announcing Steinbeck's Nobel Prize in 1962, the Swedish Academy declared: "He had no mind to be an unoffending comforter and entertainer. Instead, the topics he chose were serious and denunciatory." In his dramatic adaptation of Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck removed the social commentary about the Depression in rural America, in an attempt to make the play a classical tragedy. Even though he didn't endow a character with the requisite hubris (one who's mentally ill is, after all, ill, not flawed), the text still soars. It's a measure of the talented three principals, especially Prince and his unforgettable Lennie, that the drawbacks in this production seem negligible. The intelligent John Malkovich would surely agree.

Michael Thomas had a great trip to Oregon State last weekend but the Woodland Hills (Calif.) Taft is focused on the playoffs and then will take care of recruiting.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound wide receiver currently has offers from Oregon State, Colorado State and Wyoming and since he's playing so well this season more could be on the way in the coming weeks.
Thomas, a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, has 82 receptions for 1,513 yards and 19 touchdowns this season. He said his trip to Corvallis was great all around from the coaching staff, to the game-day experience and everything in between.
Article Continues Below
"It was great," Thomas said. "The trip was very good. I went down there and they went all out against USC. The environment was amazing. The stadium is really nice. The fans are great. It was a packed game and everybody stayed until the end of the game so it was really exciting.
"I already saw the facilities when I went to their camp but those are still very nice. It was really cold, it was like 34 degrees. Being from California, that was interesting. If I would have brought a bigger jacket I would have been all right."
The coaching staff really stood out to Thomas, who's rated as the No. 82 wide receiver nationally by Rivals.com but will move up in the next rankings after having such a successful senior season.
What Thomas liked was that coach Mike Riley didn't pressure him to commit. Rather, the Oregon State coaches allowed Thomas to experience what the school has to offer and will let him make his own decision.
"What I liked about the coaches is they didn't rush me to make a decision," Thomas said. "They were really down to earth.
"They love me and I love them, they're great up there. They didn't rush me to make a commitment or force me. They want me to think it out but they kept showing me good things. That's why they're high on my list."
Since Woodland Hills Taft plays Los Angeles Dorsey this weekend, Thomas' focus is on that for now and not recruiting. He said recently that UCLA and Boston College are showing more interest but first it's the playoffs and then everything else will take care of itself.
"Right now I'm not even focused on that," Thomas said. "I like the schools that have offered me and I want more offers but right now the main thing on my mind is a championship."

As the stands clamored with vociferous fans the Kellenberg Firebirds (9-5) took on Regis High School (2-14) Saturday in their home gym for the 11th Annual Tom Crotty Classic.
Leading scorer for Kellenberg was Richie Ragusa with 21 points and was four for eight from the three-point line as the Firebirds flew by the Raiders, 78-47. Center Bryan Gellineau added 12 points up on the board and had 10 rebounds.
"Our game plan is always to try and get it into Bryan because he's such a big body," Ragusa said. "He can always out-power somebody so we try to get him the ball as much as we can."
Gellineau isn't the only teammate Ragusa depends on.
Senior guard/forward Jeremy Arthur had 11 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, which according to Ragusa led to the team's victory this evening.
"He does it all," Ragusa, senior, said. "He had some great passes today which really helped us get the win."
During the first half the Raiders kept the score, but the firepower of Kellenberg was too much.
Sophomore Charles Gavigan, the team's leading scorer, once again led his squad. He went three for five from the three-point line, scoring a total of 12 points. Liam Hogan chipped in with 12 points and nine rebounds.
The tournament was in honor of former Maria Regina alum, now Kellenberg, Tom Crotty, who was tragically killed in the World Trade Center during the attacks on September 11, 2001. Crotty graduated in 1978.

Something PlayStation related is going to be revealed on April 19, 2012. A picture was posted on the official PlayStation Facebook account last week that reads"Will Vengeance Bring Redemption?" The PlayStation community believes Sony is definitely gearing up for a God of War announcement.
Our first assumption is that God of War IV is going to be teased for the first time. Then again, Sony may have a GoW Vita game in the works. A game like that would certainly move Vita units, and it wouldn't hurt to keep the Vita in the conversation in the run up to E3.
Something this big may be subject to leaks moments before it's made official. We'll be keeping a lookout for something like that to happen.

There was plenty of squabbling during the GOP debate on Thursday night — and not just between frontrunner Donald Trump and Fox News' Megyn Kelly.
While the moderator said the billionaire candidate "fleeced" students of Trump University, citing a class-action suit of 5,000 plaintiffs involving "veterans, teachers and little guys," it was Marco Rubio who managed to start a Twitter trend by dissing Buffalo Wild Wings.
The Florida senator slammed Trump saying that the school hired an instructor who "was a manager at a Buffalo Wild Wings."

Rather than sparking support for Trump University, the comment prompted an outpouring of support for Buffalo Wild Wings — and made the sports bar franchise founded in Columbus, Ohio, a top trend on Twitter.
"I very much enjoy the wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. Marco Rubio is a wuss. Although I will admit BWW attracts #meatheads during NFL games," one supporter tweeted.
"The Managers of All Buffalo Wild Wings Don't Endorse these Messages," another said.
"Someone should really ask Little Marco what's wrong with being a Manager at Buffalo Wild Wings. I mean isn't JOBS the point?" came the more serious response from a Trump supporter.

Known for its wings, beer, sports and fiery hot sauce, Buffalo Wild Wings — dubbed bw3 — has millions of supporters around the country who flock to the company's 1,175 locations nationwide, with one regular wisely concluding that Rubio was hating on the chain because "he can't handle more than Honey BBQ on the heat scale."

Preston Guild is a historic celebration dating back to 1179 and held every 20 years. It has played a vital role in the development of Preston as a thriving and important city in England. Preston City Council asked Web Labs development team, with whom we worked, to propose an interactive idea for the first Virtual Guild Scrolls.
We were commissioned to come up with the concept and design the visual prototype of the Scrolls. We created an optimistic and fun brand identity supported with an interactive map experience where users can publish Good Will Messages.
Users can easily follow the first virtual Scrolls and note their current location on the world map with a simple Scroll Tours section on the page. All three scroll tours are indicated and users can subsrcibe to follow them.

The Wing Lam Tai Chi Ruler is the absolute best buy on the market anywhere. The customer service of Wing Lam Enterprises is so hospitable I cannot imagine that anyone would want to purchase equipment anywhere else. This is now my second ruler and I'll be purchasing another one as a gift in a few days. I INSIST that my students only purchase from Wing Lam as over 20 years of ordering from them has always been a wonderful experience. *** Also of note: I purchased the Ruler because I've started training in this area of Chinese Qi Gong under GM Sifu Karen Schlachter. When I arrived for my training, she was most impressed with the Ruler finding it be of excellent composition after testing it herself. That is truly a wonderful testimonial for this product and it's company, Wing Lam Enterprises.

Tai Chi Ruler "Rules!"
khadi madama
i am very pleased with Wing Lam's Tai Chi Ruler. A small group of us are planning to take a Tai Chi Ruler class here locally, so I've told each of them to get onto the Wing Lam website and order them from my favorite martial arts supply website. I have done business with Wing Lam for almost 20 years and never been disappointed. Shipping is very reasonable, prices great, order shipping time very efficient. 5*'s to Wing Lam. And, of course, my respects and greetings to GM Wing Lam. Sijo Khadi Madama founder of Fa Shen Training Arts/Wishes 313 and Kombat Triage Self Care Defense Training Programs

Awesome product
Kathleen Martorano
I take a tai chi class at the local Sr Center and needed a ruler.... This Tai Chi ruler is not only very reasonably priced and came quicker than I thought, but it is awesome. It is smooth, fits my hands perfectly and the wood grain in beautiful. I highly recommend buying it from WLE.

The tai chi ruler is priced at maybe 1/2 the other ones on ebay or the web. Since there are no moving parts to break the lower price does not matter. For me an exotic wood would not justify a higher price. This unit will do exactly what is needed.

I received my order with 48 hours of placing the order !
The Rulers are very good quality, and I am slowly learning the different forms.
Thank you for your great product and service!
I recommend you highly to anyone needing MA equipment.

Pictures of the much-awaited Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class compact luxury SUV have finally emerged ahead of its debut at the upcoming 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. And straight off we can say that the GLA, with its family design cues, is quite a looker!
Based on the A-Class hatchback, the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class seeks to capitalise on the current global appetite for compact luxury SUVs. The target segment for Mercedes will be young customers with fat wallets when the vehicle launches late 2014.
Featuring the Mercedes-Benz family design language, the new GLA gets a bold grille with the large three-pointed star logo at the centre. The headlights, with daytime running LEDs, too have the familiar sweptback design of recent Mercedes-Benz models. Despite the flared air intakes on the front bumper and slight bulge for a power dome on the bonnet, the GLA's ride height and compact dimensions do give the GLA a more crossover-like stance rather than a proper SUV's. It's a tad too sleek for its own good, perhaps. And the rear of the GLA is identical to the A-Class' apart from the larger tail light cluster and rear air diffuser.
Under the hood the Mercedes-Benz GLA is expected to carry a range of turbocharged four cylinder petrol and diesel engines. As of now Mercedes has announced that the GLA-Class will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine developing 210PS of power and 349Nm of torque. The diesel engine option at least for India is likely to be the four cylinder 2.2 litre unit that does duty in the A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, E-Class and ML-Class in various states of tune.
Both front- and-all-wheel-drive models will likely be on offer. The all-wheel drive models will feature Merc's 4MATIC full-time 4x4 system with different settings for on-road and light off-road driving.
Two-wheel drive models will be available with a six-speed manual gearbox with the option of a seven-speed double clutch automatic gearbox while the all-wheel drive models will feature the seven-speed double autobox as standard.
Inside, the GLA features the usual high quality materials that adorn Mercedes-Benz vehicles; the dashboard in fact has been lifted straight off the A-Class. A choice of different colour combinations for the leather and plastics makes it a lively place. Expect the GLA to come packed with features to meet the demands of today's young car buyers.
Based on strong sales figures of the Audi Q3 and BMW X1, the Mercedes-Benz GLA does look to have a good market potential here provided Mercedes crucially gets the pricing right.

The Christmas season is the happiest time of year. We get to spend extra time with our family and friends, and there are endless supplies of cookies. While these few weeks are filled with tons of cheer, it's also the sappiest time of year, especially in the good ol' USA. It's the ideal time for overseas military men to surprise their loved ones, and of course, create tearjerker alert YouTube videos of it all.
Even though we're huge fans of Christmas, the holiday season can be super stressful at times. This is particularly true when it comes to buying presents. Most people are difficult to shop for, which puts tons of pressure on us to try and decode their present preference. Will our friend like that potpourri centerpiece we're re-gifting from grandma? Probably not. What about the awful Christmas sweater in the back of our closet that still has the tag on it? We'll give that a big N-O.
With all the time we spend on Pinterest, it's no wonder we've come across so much quirky and awesome stuff. Half our holiday gift and decorating ideas come from the site alone! Want to check out Disney/Star Wars mash-up art or a cheeseburger dress? They've got you covered. Not surprisingly, the site also has a whole slew of questionable holiday products you can pin and repin, like a pickle ornament or a creepy spandex reindeer costume.
Santa's elves are the greatest. For starters, they work super hard in his workshop all year round making our Christmas presents and baking delicious treats so Santa maintains that cookie belly. However, we do think these charming people are highly underrated. They're arguably the most charming part of Christmas, after all! That's why we think it's important to pay homage to the little guys and girls through one of our favorite combos of all-time: babies and costumes.
Ahh, puppies. We have no idea how it's possible, but everything they do is so darn cute. They can wear an Elvis suit, prepare for Hurricane Sandy or even subject themselves to toddler torture, and they're still ridiculously charming.
With Christmas only a few short weeks away, our holiday excitement seems to build every single day. Honestly, how can you not be totally stoked over the idea of presents and Santa and tons of hot chocolate with marshmallows? It's impossible. That's why we love to express this crazy anticipation in our favorite way-- through festive clothing. We're huge fans of giving our cat's reindeer antlers and making our pups wear Santa hats, but what does that mean for us?
One of the best parts about the holiday season is when Santa comes to town for a visit. Every single year, he makes his rounds to American shopping malls so little kids (and adults-- we're guilty) can have an up-close-and-personal gift-begging session with the guy...
Black Friday brings out some of the most hilariously strange antics of us Americans. On Thanksgiving we give thanks for all the great stuff in our lives, and just hours later, we're waiting in massive lines and getting in spats with fellow consumers over the latest deals on video games. That's the good ol' USA for you.
If you're out there pushing, punching, and overspending, you might be pictured in our nightmarish roundup of Black Friday crowd shots.

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea plans to write a tell-all memoir.
The musician, born Michael Balzary, will write the book himself. The memoir will follow Flea from his "bohemian" childhood to the "tumultuous creative journey" of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Rock-and-roll, drugs, and his "sometimes complex friendship and collaboration" with bandmate Anthony Kiedis are just some of the topics the author plans to touch upon.
"I love literature deeply," Flea says in a press release. "I view books as sacred things, and in writing my story, I'm going to do my best to honor the form that has played such a huge part in shaping who I am."
Grand Central Publishing, a division of the Hachette Book Group, will distribute the currently untitled book.
"Grand Central is thrilled to publish Flea's memoir," executive editor Ben Greenberg says. "Besides being a voracious reader, he is an utterly unique musician, thinker, and creative force... His story is epic."
No publication date has been set yet for the memoir.

The European Central Bank cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 bps to 1.25 percent, a new historical low. However, the EUR/USD rallied after the rate cut announcement since most investors were expecting a 50 bps rate cut. Later, the EUR/USD gave back some of its early gains after Jean-Claude Trichet, the ECB president, acknowledged that the decision to cut rates by only a quarter-point was not unanimous and some type of quantitative easing could be discussed at the next ECB meeting.
The ECB risks running out of options to boost liquidity
The Euro zone economy is gradually succumbing to tight credit conditions and a slowing global economy. Recent data on business sentiment, consumer spending and industrial production continues to point towards a sharp contraction in economic activity in the euro zone and lower interest rates combined with some sort of quantitative easing are certainly needed to prevent the region from falling into a long-term recession. However, as we approach a zero-interest-rate-policy (ZIRP), some investors are becoming increasingly concerned that the ECB will run out of options to boost liquidity and minimize the impact of this financial crisis. In fact, unlike the United States Federal Reserve, the ECB cannot simply implement quantitative easing by buying government bonds because the European Union does not have a common government bond.
source: tradingeconomics.com [1]
The ECB Has Been Slower to Cut Rates than Other Central Banks. What does it mean for the euro?
I have been taking bearish positions against the euro since the EUR/USD exchange rate was trading at 1.60 and I expect more EUR/USD, EUR/JPY and EUR/GBP weakness going forward on speculation the ongoing financial crisis will force many European banks to announce more losses related to toxic mortgage assets. To some extent, Europe's economic growth has been a perfect lagging indicator for the rest of the world economy. Back in 2008, European policy leaders thought the financial crisis would be confined to the United States and the ECB was slower to act than the Federal Reserve. Inflation in the euro zone was well above a level consistent with price stability and the ECB was concerned with second-round effects of energy prices in wage and price setting. However, the credit storm that began in the U.S. end up affecting the euro zone and European banks were forced to write off $229 billion out of a global total of $588 billion in losses related the collapse of the U.S. subprime market. While no one can deny that Jean-Claude Trichet, the ECB president, has done a lot to boost the euro as a credible alternative for the U.S. dollar, it is also becoming clear that the ECB perhaps underestimated the size of the financial crisis by keeping interest rates too high for too long. In fact, the euro zone is now in a technical recession and facing the most serious test since the euro was introduced to the world financial markets in 1999.

wikiHow to Make a Meat and Vegetable Fried Rice
This fried rice is very simple and quick to make. It also helps get rid of those vegetables and rice leftovers. Here is how to make a meat and vegetable fried rice.

- 1 onion
- 2 medium sized carrots
- Meat such as ham, bacon, spam, or sausage
- Stir fry sauce (or oyster sauce)
- Other vegetables like broccoli, green onions, etc (optional)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or cooking spray
1Prepare the vegetables. Rinse everything before cutting. Dice the onion and cut the carrots length-wise (the size of the pieces will be up to you). Cut any other vegetables you want to use. Place the vegetables in a bowl.
2Cut the meat into good or bite sized pieces. Place the cut meat pieces into another bowl.
3Cover a pan or wok with cooking spray or add about a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Heat it on a medium to high heat.
4Cook the meat. Stir them around in the pan until they are brown in color.

97 minutes /
[ Movie Page: Buzzard (2014) ]
[ Trailer ][ Full Poster ]
Buzzard Review
Synopsis:Paranoia forces small-time scam artist Marty to flee his hometown and hide out in a dangerous Detroit. With nothing but a pocket full of bogus checks, his Power Glove, and a bad temper, the horror metal slacker lashes out.
Buzzard (2014) is an American comedy-drama movie that is 97 minutes long. Director, executive producer, editor and writer Joel Potrykus (Ape (2012), Coyote (2010), Gordon (2007)) did a horrible job executing this movie. The movie was so daunting and prolonged which it made the movie even more boring. I totally dislike this movie and do not have much to say about it except stay away and watch a rerun of your favorite show instead.
Marty Jackitansky (Joshua Burge - Ape (2012), Coyote (2010), Remotion: Prologue (2013)) is a lonely, lazy, selfish small time con artist who has a lot of anger. Marty works for a bank and decides to scam fifty dollars from the bank by closing his bank account and opening a new account to get the $50 signing up incentive. Marty also steals office supplies that he can return to the store and deposit checks that are unclaimed into his bank account. He is so lonely that he lies to his mother about how many friends he has and tries to avoid the consequences of his bad actions. Marty once stayed in his co-worker, Derek's (Joel Potrykus - he is the director of this movie) basement for a short time. The movie basically is about how Marty feels about the world, and that living in the world is pointless because it is a horrible place to live in. He thinks there is no need for responsibilities and being friendly/nice to anyone is needless. He does not care about anyone and see's no need to have a friend or companion.
I understand what the movie is about, but it was executed badly and was not an enjoyable watch. I think there should have been some comedy and serious moments in this movie to make it a little interesting. The movie failed in every way. I gave the movie a two because I felt like being nice.

Washington Post to Be Sold to Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon (The Washington Post)
The Washington Post Co. agreed Monday to sell its flagship newspaper to Amazon.com founder and chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos, ending the Graham family's stewardship of one of America's leading news organizations after four generations. Bezos, whose entrepreneurship has made him one of the world's richest men, will pay $250 million in cash for the Post and affiliated publications to The Washington Post Co., which owns the newspaper and other businesses. The deal represents a sudden and stunning turn of events for the Post, Washington's leading newspaper for decades and a powerful force in shaping the nation's politics and policy. The Washington Post / Jeff Bezos The values of the Post do not need changing. The paper's duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners. We will continue to follow the truth wherever it leads, and we'll work hard not to make mistakes. When we do, we will own up to them quickly and completely. HuffPost / The Backstory On Monday at 4:15 p.m., Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth informed staff that there would be "an announcement" just 15 minutes later in the paper's first floor auditorium. Some speculated that the Post had sold its historic downtown Washington headquarters, which had been on the market for six months. Following the Bezos announcement, a Post staffer described colleagues as "shocked and stunned." NYT Perhaps the biggest surprise in the sale is that it happened under the watch of Donald Graham. All scions of industry do their time on the shop-room floor, but Graham had shown that he didn't want to just inherit his enterprise, he wanted to earn it. The idea that Graham would sell the paper, whatever merits the sale might entail, seemed as unlikely as Henry V giving up the crown. But on Monday, Graham seemed at peace with what he had done. Politico / Dylan Byers on Media Carl Bernstein: "I have high hopes that [Monday's] announcement will represent a great moment in the history of a great institution: recognition that a new kind of entrepreneurship and leadership, fashioned in the age of the new technology, is needed to lead not just the Post, but perhaps the news business itself, in combining the best of enduring journalistic values with all the potential of the digital era — including a profit model that will finance a renaissance of the kind of reporting that is essential for Washington, for American journalism, and for the world." CJR / The Audit We have now officially entered the oft-predicted Billionaire Savior phase of the newspaper industry's collapse. New Republic Craigslist's Craig Newmark has not bought the Post, thank goodness — that would be too much to bear. But Bezos as the white knight provokes only slightly less shock and dolor. We knew the other guys had won a long time ago, but it's another thing when they can waltz in and, in the charmless guise of "Explore Holdings LLC," drop $250 million in cash for a legendary paper (that's a mere one percent of Bezos' net worth), as flip and easy as plucking an Apollo rocket engine from the ocean or building a $42 million, 10,000-year clock in West Texas. NYT / DealBook If it wasn't clear that newspapers have become trophies for the wealthy with an interest in journalism or power — or a combination of both — it should be now. TVSpy The acquisition does not include the Post-Newsweek station group; Cable ONE, Slate, TheRoot.com, Foreign Policy and Kaplan are also not included in the deal. The Washington Post Company will be changing its name. TheWrap / MediaAlley Washington Post Co. shares immediately spiked on word that the company had sold its money sucking newspapers to Bezos. In immediate after-hours trading, shares climbed nearly 5.5 percent to $599.85.
Time Warner Cable: We'll End Blackout if We Can Offer CBS A La Carte (THR)
Time Warner Cable's CEO Glenn Britt on Monday sent a letter to CBS CEO Leslie Moonves offering to immediately resume negotiations and end the blackout — if the network will let them offer its stations on an a la carte basis. Britt also called on CBS to immediately cease blocking CBS.com content for its broadband customers. TVSpy With the CBS-Time Warner Cable dispute still underway, CBS is touting weekend ratings at its O&Os in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas, saying the blackout "will not present an overall ratings hardship."
RNC Hits NBC, CNN for Hillary Films, Threatens to Pull Debate Rights (Politico / Dylan Byers on Media)
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus has threatened to pull NBC and CNN's access to the 2016 Republican primary debates unless those companies pull their current Hillary Clinton-related film projects. In open letters to the leadership of NBC Universal and CNN International, Priebus expressed his "deep disappointment" over those networks' decisions to produce films "promoting former Secretary Hillary Clinton ahead of her likely candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016." TVNewser Priebus says that if the programs are not canceled, he will recommend that the RNC not partner with NBC News or CNN for primary debates once the 2016 election season begins.

Discovery Criticized for Hugely Misleading Documentary (The Verge)
Viewers have rallied around the Discovery Channel's Shark Week for decades over its unabashed love of science and its glorification of violent sea creatures. But this year's event, which kicked off Sunday night with the documentary Megalodon: The Monster Shark That Lives, may have committed a cardinal sin: lying to viewers about sharks. Discover / Science Sushi This year's Shark Week kick-off special, Megalodon: The Monster Shark That Lives, claimed to provide evidence that these massive beasts are still out there, using scattered anecdotes and scientific testimony to support the assertion. There's only one problem: the entire "documentary" wasn't real.
Tina Brown Says She Fired Howie Kurtz for 'Serial Inaccuracy' (TPM / LiveWire)
Tina Brown took a very pointed shot at Howie Kurtz over Twitter on Monday after the longtime media critic linked to a story that he said captured the "the chaos, waste and dysfunction" that typified her time overseeing the merger between Newsweek and The Daily Beast. That tweet prompted Brown, still the editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast, to fire back at Kurtz, claiming that she fired him for "serial inaccuracy." FishbowlNY For some context, Kurtz was fired after he wrote an incredibly stupid column about former NBA player Jason Collins, who came out via a Sports Illustrated article.
Oprah to NBC: Trayvon Martin's Killing 'In My Mind, Same Thing' as Emmett Till's (Mediaite)
In an exclusive interview for The Grio, NBCUniversal's African-American news and opinion website, Oprah Winfrey weighed in with her unvarnished thoughts on the killing of Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman. Winfrey said that, in her mind, Martin's murder and that of Emmett Till in 1955 — whose killers were also acquitted — were the "same thing." However, she added that it is important to keep in mind how much race relations in America have progressed over the last half-century.

Quartz Lets Readers Comment on Specific Paragraphs (Adweek)
Quartz is taking reader comments to the margins. Atlantic Media's 10-month-old business publication on Tuesday introduced a new feature that lets readers weigh in on — and publish comments right next to — individual paragraphs within articles rather than in a separate section relegated to the bottom of the page. "The gist of it is to try to foster more productive and interesting and a higher standard of commenting on the kind of content we do," said publisher Jay Lauf.

If you use a Gmail email address for your business, you may find that some of your emails don't reach their intended recipients come June 2016.
Google is helping to curb spam and spoofing by changing their DMARC policy.
DMARC allows email senders to publish a policy telling participating email providers (which include AOL, Comcast, Hotmail, and Yahoo! Mail, in addition to Gmail) how to handle messages that are sent from their domain but aren't authenticated. Starting in June, Gmail's policy changes to "reject" which means any email that purports to come from Gmail.com but is really sent from a different domain will be rejected.
Depending on the service you used to send your email, you may receive an automatic bounce message that says, "Unauthenticated email from [ssc][/ssc] is not accepted due to domain's DMARC policy." Or you may never realize your email was not delivered.
Not everyone who used Gmail for business will experience issues with email deliverablity. However, you are more likely to experience problems if you employ any of the following in your business:
- Contact forms on your website.
- Online shopping cart systems, both WordPress plugins (Woocommerce, eStore) and hosted systems (1shoppingcart, Infusionsoft).
- Accounting and invoicing software (Freshbooks, Quickbooks).
- Email Service Providers (MailChimp, Constant Contact, Aweber).
- Online Scheduling Tools (Timetrade, Appointy).
Some online platforms may have already implemented a solution for Gmail users on their system, which will ensure that your emails are delivered even after this change is implemented at Gmail. For example, at MailChimp, they will automatically add send.mailchimpapp.com or mail.mailchimpapp.com to your Gmail email address in the "sent from" field to ensure your campaigns are delivered.
These types of workarounds help to ensure your emails are delivered in the short term and don't suddenly stop come June, but long-term, you'll want to set up an email address that is linked to your domain.
And while the process can be a pain, and often very frustrating, you only need to do it once. Once it's set up, it's done and makes your business look much more legitimate and professional.
This is what you need to do to ensure ALL of your emails reach their intended recipients come June:
- Take inventory of all of the emails that are sent on your behalf from somewhere other than Gmail.com. Check if any of these platforms have instituted workarounds that change the sending email address for you (Search for "DMARC" in their help files). If you have even ONE domain sending email on your behalf that doesn't change the email address for you, you need to change the sending email address associated with those emails before June 1.
- Register a domain for your business, if you haven't already done so. I recommend Canvas Host or Google Domains.
- Create an email address linked to your new domain. I recommend @ as a good start (avoid info@).
- If you want to continue to use Gmail to manage your new email address, import the emails into your Gmail account using POP3. Watch the video below for step-by-step directions.
- Update the "sent from" email address for all of the software platforms you identified in Step 1.
While these changes at Gmail may mean more work for you in the short-term, they will result in less spam for all of us. And that's a good thing!

wikiHow to Make Grilled Crawfish in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
Harvest Moon does not have ordinary grills, although, one can "grill" food over a bonfire. This is a nice approach to cooking food instead of using a regular oven. Grilled crawfish gives +10 stamina.
1Acquire matches. If you don't have it, you can go to the General Store and pay 480 G for it.
2Get a crawfish. You can get it by fishing at the following places any time of the year:
- The stream and pond of Clarinet District
- The west river at Flute Fields
- The pond at Toucan Island
- The divine tree or shrine waters of Goddess Pond
3Have the crawfish in your rucksack. Ensure that your rucksack is not full, or else you cannot grill the fish.
4Start a bonfire. Use your matches on a wood stack. Press the "A" button.
5Choose the crawfish that you need for the recipe. Press the "A" button again and "Start" to make the dish.

- You can sell grilled crawfish for 70 G profit.
- Always extinguish all bonfires with your watering can after use. If you don't put the fire out, it will not only make other villagers angry the next morning, but you can lose hearts in the process as well.

Found the problem
Thanks for the Dictionary look-up fix. Can't test right now but that is very helpful for writing text in ST3!
Ok, so i kinda found the problem. For some reasons, ST3 doens't play nice with ST2 project files. I had to close project->drag project folder->save project as->overwrite old file. I think it's good now.
