Early in the semester, I will form groups (two persons/possibly one group of three) for presentations and a group paper on Frankenstein. During our class conference, each group will be responsible for their chapters/sections of Frankenstein (see GROUP ASSIGNMENTS below and the syllabus for the schedule).
Exchange email addresses so that you can discuss ideas you have outside of class. It will be helpful to meet at least once (more than one meeting is advisable) in person before you present.
The purpose of our class conference is to allow you to focus on ideas and
issues in Frankenstein that interest you and to present these ideas
and issues to the class. Instead of me lecturing to you or framing
class discussion according to what I think is important or interesting, you
get to shape our class discussion and interact with each other. This
conference will also give you an idea of what an academic conference
(particularly in English and the foreign languages) is like.
The main focus of your presentation should be relevant issues/ideas in your assigned chapters/sections. Each group will choose its own topic, focusing on a close reading of character, scene(s), idea, plot, etc. and using, if you wish, biography, history, or genre to contextualize and explain the novel. You are not expected to focus on everything in your assigned portion of the novel. Choose a topic and approach that is narrow enough and that interests your group and that will interest the class too. (How will your presentation help us better understand the novel?) You can contextualize your assigned chapters/sections within the whole novel, either looking ahead or making retrospective comments.
Your presentation should make a claim or claims--your main point(s) or conclusion(s)--about your assigned chapters. Be sure to share key passages (during your talk/in your handout?) from the novel as you present evidence to support your claim(s). Give page and paragraph numbers from the Penguin edition of Frankenstein we are using in class.
***Note: The in-class oral progress reports were very promising, so
continuing planning and shaping your presentations.
Time: Each group will have 18 mins. This time limit will be strictly observed, so be sure to practice your presentation at least once to ensure you meet the limit and have a smooth delivery in which all group members participate. Presentations will need to be focused so that you will have enough time to lay out your key ideas after a very brief plot summary.
Handouts: You should use a handout to highlight key ideas or to provide information you will not have time to address directly during your presentation. Handouts can be quotations from the novel, ideas related to your presentation that you don't have time to discuss during the presentation, bio/background info., or even pictures with explanations. Be sure your handout does not simply outline your presentation; it should amplify your presentation. Think about what we can take away after your presentation. You can use PowerPoint or any other technology for your presentation--in addition to the handout. You can even use the document camera to show images or pictures if needed. Be sure to provide enough details on the handout so that we understand the key points. (** I can make copies for you if I have the handout before class. I am often in my office fifteen minutes before class. You can also email me a Word doc.**)
Style--Oral Presentations: Although your
presentation grade (points--see below) will be based mainly on content,
style will also be assessed (e.g., coordination and timing, speaking volume,
dress/appearance). In terms of your presentation
style, you should draw on your knoweldge of giving oral presentations from
Communication 101: how to present ideas clearly and structure an oral
presentation, how to speak, how to divide material among several speakers
and coordinate the presentation, how to dress, etc. See my if you have
questions. Finally, I will consider the class evaluations when
I determine your presentation grades.
There will be time for some questions and discussion after presentations for the day are completed.
Group Essay
Due date will be determined by each group in consultation with me--one paper for each group.
The essay will be three-four pages, double spaced. If you need more space to develop your argument, you can add an extra page to your essay. (A group of three should aim for four-five pages.) For this paper, each group will choose its own topic, most likely expanding on presentation ideas. Go beyond your presentation and the specific chapters you were assigned as you analyze and write. Include ideas you did not have time to explore fully or mention, and use key quotations as textual support, explaining how these quotations illustrate your idea(s). Connect your specific chapters to the whole text. For a short essay, your focus will have to be narrow, so be sure to think carefully about your topic and how you will frame it in your essay.
However, you can choose a topic completely different from your presentation
For example, you might decide to compare and contrast a movie version of
Frankenstein to the novel. (Be careful about this type of essay--see me
if you decide on this topic.)
Each group will need to develop strategies for planning, drafting, revising, and editing its essay. It is best to debate ideas/different views. Avoid "group think," or defaulting to one person or an idea most readily available. Also, be sure all group members edit and proofread.
Each group must submit a planning schedule (10pts.) Each group will meet with me to review a completed draft.
Notes for Writing the Essay
Formatting: 12pt Times New Roman is fairly standard.
Since you are indenting paragraphs, you do not need extra spaces between
paragraphs. Don't forget page numbers and an appropriate title.
Audience: Assume your readers are upper-level students taking a course like ours. Assume they have read the novel (e.g., plot) and have experience reading, discussing, and writing about literature.
Research/Outside Sources: You are not required to use outside sources. However, if you do, you should cite the source(s) and include a works cited page. Also, be sure not to overuse outside sources for a short essay.
I would, however, recommend using the critical introduction to the Penguin edition as well as the Reading Frankenstein page - see Course Notes.
I have put books and articles on reserve in the library that you may find
helpful for your essay. You can, of course, also search the library's
books and databases--for articles. Don't forget that the reference
section also has helpful materials. Finally, their are helpful
websites you might consider--but be sure to assess the credibility of these
(Wikipedia is not suitable source for your essay.)
If you are citing from a different edition of Frankenstein, you also need to include a works cited page. Cite volume/chapter numbers as well as the page numbers, e.g., (27; ch. 3) or (27; vol. 1, ch. 3). If you use the recommended Penguin edition, you do not need a works cited page. However, if you are citing secondary sources, you must include a works cited page and cite Frankenstein, regardless of the edition you are using.
For a short essay, your introduction should be brief (one paragraph?) and to the point. Remember the function of an introduction: to announce the topic and create reader interest. You can raise a question about the novel that the essay will answer or begin with a key quotation that raises a key issue (issues) the essay will explore. More generally, the introduction makes the focus of the essay clear.
The thesis is usually presented near the end of the introductory paragraph. A thesis statement is the conclusion/main point you have come to about a key question or issue. It should be specific, focused, and clear. Ex: Northanger Abbey is a novel about Catherine Moreland's growth and marriage. This statement is too general for a thesis statement. It is descriptive rather than interpretive. Ex: Although Northanger Abbey ends with happy marriages, the novel, through the narrator's ironic commentary, also reveals the limitations on individualism marriages places on women. This statement is an interpretation of the novel, so it is debatable and must be supported/defended.
Organize your essay by developing and linking supporting points/ideas. Move logically and clearly from supporting idea to supporting idea, each, in turn, supporting the thesis. Use clear topic sentences that focus each paragraph as well as clear paragraph transitions. Also, be sure paragraphs are not too long (overloaded) or too short (underdeveloped). An outline is an effective way to visualize the entire structure of your essay.Development/Support
For a short essay, choose your supporting ideas carefully. Do not focus on plot summary. You should only use plot summary briefly to contextualize points/ideas. Be sure to defend supporting ideas clearly and specifically using concrete examples. You may, for example, define key terms/words, interpret dialogue and actions, assess characters, explain the meaning/significance of key ideas/concepts.Using/Integrating Quotations
Quotations emphasize and highlight important ideas/points that would be lost or muted with paraphrase or summary. They also allow readers to experience the language of the text. Remember, however, that quotations are not a substitute for your thinking, so they must be interpreted and explained. Don't overuse quotations in a short essay and be careful about using long (block) quotations. Choose quotations judiciously. Check the MLA Handbook for advice about integrating and punctuating quotations and citing page numbers.Grammar and Mechanics
Be sure each group member helps with this area. Concerns for review:
- Coordination and Subordination/Comma Usage
- Run-ons/Parallelism/Modification - Consult a current handbook for help and see me
- Use third person for the essay
- Discuss the novel using the present tense

is a major fuck you to everything Kashiwa Daisuke had been so far. Yes the album is calm and
beautiful, but it lacks what made him great: that feeling of expecting the unexpected and
still being surprised, the melodic randomness, that bunch of noise that came together as
something exhilarating... all of that is gone. Don't approach this album as a Kashiwa
Daisuke album, otherwise you're in for the letdown of a lifetime. Also, it seems Kashiwa

The one problem i have with diging this is that it will show as:
"Digging - Natalie Portman's Shaved Head", and to be honest I'd rather have hear with full
hair, not quite like princess Amidala (a cat could live in that hair-do), but maybe as in V
for Vendetta, but before they shave her head, obviously. Now I happen to find myself in a
conflict of interests.... in one hand side I want people to know this is good mindless
fun... but I don't want to be known as the guy who digs chicks with no hair. Choices,

The instrumental work is just outstandung, and it would be cool if the guys from Shpongle just stoped there; but see, the thing is, they're also incredibly consistent. There isn't a filler song in sight, and every song just flows to the next one. And before you've realized it, an hour of your life has passed by; but it's an hour you won't, by any means, want back. Whithin the genre this might just be the magnum opus of any kind of electronic music. This is the album against all others should be messured. I... I've run out of words and expresions to further explain why this is as good as it is... it just is.

This both aids and hurts the result: you'll get a kick out of this album if you like these guys' style; but then again it really feels like a mix, so there's nothing surprising, refreshing or that feels new.

Black Emperor F♯ A♯ ∞5.0The Fall of Troy In the Unlikely Event2.0Green Day American Idiot1.0This utter piece of crap has the biggest identity crisis ever. Is it punk? Is it rock? Is it pop? Let me clarify this for you, Green Day: It's neither. The instrumental work is underwhelming. The lyrics... ugh, they just took advantage of a time when it was trendy to bitch about politics. And not the punk way, noooooo. Green Day thought it would be better to use the "Bono-bitching-method". I really can't stress enough how overrated and crappy this is. And if you know American Idiot isn't a great album, but it holds sentimental value so it will always be your classic album even though you rate 21st Century Breakdown a 5 as well... well, there's something really wrong with you.Jaga Jazzist What We Must3.5Caninus Now The Animals Have A Voice1.0If you ever needed an argument on why animals shouldn't talk; well, here you go.Led Zeppelin How the West Was Won2.0Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV4.5ATB Addicted to Music2.0Converge Axe to Fall4.0The Cure Wish1.0ATB No Silence3.0Brand New Daisy1.5Defeater Travels4.5King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King4.0Paul Van Dyk In Between3.5Sasha Involver3.5The Birthday Massacre Violet3.0The Human Abstract Midheaven3.0Electric Wizard Dopethrone4.5Have a Nice Life Voids4.0Aside from a couple of songs in the demo that are somewhat weak, this is almost as astounding and beautiful as Deahconciousness.Trivium The Crusade1.5Trivium Ascendancy3.0Saxon Forever Free1.5Saxon Lionheart3.0Isis Wavering Radiant3.0Anaal Nathrakh In the Constellation of the Black Widow4.0Mew No More Stories4.0Behemoth Evangelion3.5Backyard Babies Tinnitus2.5August Burns Red Lost Messengers: The Outtakes2.0August Burns Red Constellations3.5David Guetta One Love3.0Rx Bandits Mandala3.0David Guetta Pop Life3.5Emery ...In Shallow Seas We Sail3.0"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.

Joutsen harsh and clean vocals are top-notch, Etelavuori leads the rythm of the whole band with godlike skills; but Koivusaari and Holopainen are not to be overlooked. Amorphis lives up to its name by not letting you pinpoint the genre they're playing. Call it Death Metal, call it doom, call it progressive if you will.

They decided to take out the dragon slaying and the cock rock of those years' metal; and the result couldn't have been better. Two albums later they perfected their own version of Thrash Metal; while death might be the main "gimmick" of the album, it's made clear that they also have a lot to say about religion, madness, drug abuse or war. And it's not only the message, but the way it is presented to the listeners ears: with the pure unlimited talent of the band members: from the intro of Battery to the last riff in Damage Inc. This album is Metallicas "IV", "Dark Side of the Moon" or "Number of the Beast": A milestone in Metal; if not music as a whole.Shadows Fall Of One Blood4.0Shadows Fall The Art of Balance4.5Shadows Fall The War Within2.5Shadows Fall The Art Of Touring (Drunk and S**ty in Every City)3.0Shadows Fall Fallout From The War3.5Korn Untitled3.0

How to create a BartPE-bootable USB with UEFI?
Has anyone successfully created a BartPE USB boot disk that has UEFI?
My machine is a Surface Pro and it requires that the USB support UEFI in order to boot from USB. When I use True Image 2013 to build the boot media by itself, that works and I am able to burn the image to a USB disk and I can successfully boot from it, no issues.
But when I use BartPE to create the boot disk, it does not work at all. My Surface Pro doesn't even see that it is there; so there are no errors, which leads me to believe that the ISO image produced does not have UEFI support. Indeed, with the little knowledge I have on the matter, when I look at the file structure, I do not see an "EFI" folder or something like I see on the True Image-generated ISO image.
Are there are additional tools/steps/tricks that I need to do to enable UEFI support on the BartPE boot disk?
Note that the disk is fine and boot another PC which does not require UEFI like my Surface Pro so, again, this tells me the image is fine, but just lacking UEFI support.
The main reason I need BartPE is because when I boot, I need to have both True Image and BestCrypt Volume Encryption available.
Any help you can provide will be very much appreciated.
The BartPe wrapper is designed for XP systems and to my knowledge the script hasn't been updated to take account of UEFI firmware systems, XP (unless it is the 64 bit version) doesn't natively work with UEFI systems, so using BartPe is not going to be possible.
I think you are going to have to bite the bullet and download ADK 4.0 (the PE version for Windows 8) then download the free Mustang PE Builder (this is like a ramped up version of BartPE and is more flexible) .
Both downloads are free - the first from Microsoft themselves and the second from http://www.mechrest.com/plugins/MustangPEBuilder/MustangPEBuilderADK.htm
ADK is about 3GB in size.
On a clear disk you can seek forever
TI2017 NG: Acronis Backup 12.5:7048, DD12:3223, vmProtect 7.0:5173, SnapDeploy 4
Windows 10 Pro 1703 RS edition.
At the moment it's impossible to create WinPE-based UEFI-booting media with True Image - WinPE must be 64-bit in order to boot from UEFI, True Image is 32-bit, and WinPE has no Wow64 compatibility layer to run 32-bit applications.

Fedor Larin is correct. MustangPE will not help you on a system that does not offer bios options to disable secure boot and go to legacy boot. UEFI secure boot requires a 64 bit OS and True Image reqiures a 32 bit system to run in WinPE. You need to go to another backup program that offers 64 bit WinPE support.
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the great info/feedback; I really appreciate it.
True Image works great for me and I love, so since I'm sticking with it, then I'll have to implement my workaround. Not exactly what I wanted to do, but I have no choice at the moment.
Again, thanks!
Does this mean I won't be able to restore Windows 7 and 8 UEFI backups or because I can boot WinPE4 USB I can still restore the UEFI partition?
As long as you can boot the recovery CD you should be good to retore all partitions including the UEFI partition.

"I went on a valuation where I was greeted at the door by Darth Vader. The client left the mask on and did the funny breathing thing. I greeted him as Lord Vader as a joke but he conducted the whole valuation in the mask. Princess Leia was in the kitchen but didn't say much." Jason Tebb, founder of Ivy Gate
"I valued a house in Battersea and the vendor warned me that she collects animals. She opened the door to one of the rooms and it was full of about 50 snakes. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen." Giles Cook, partner at estate agency W.A.Ellis
"We sold a flat which was owned by a famous popstar. In the wardrobe, he had mannequins dressed in period dresses for social occasions. We almost had a blue fit when we discovered it." Javier Carrillo, lettings partner at West End estate agency LDG
"One tricky tenant who was due to move out didn't want us to show the flat while he was still there, so he wrapped everything in tarpaulin, which completely hampered the marketing and was an absolute nightmare." Lucy Morton, senior partner at W.A.Ellis
One way to put off new tenants: the taurpaulin-covered home
"One disgruntled tenant who didn't want to move out would always appear naked on viewings. I had to stop showing the flat until she was evicted." Javier Carrillo, lettings partner at LDG
"I was once on a viewing and when I opened the front door, the owner came running over only wearing a t-shirt. She then fainted. I shut the door, but we were all concerned, so had to go back in to help her up." Jamie Lester, head of Haus Properties, a south west London property agency.
"I have seen one property with naked pictures of the vendors hanging in the master bedroom." Jo Eccles, director of Sourcing Property
"Once while measuring up the master bedroom on a property, the vendor came home. We were having a pleasant conversation until he got undressed and took a shower with the door wide open." Jamie Lester, head of Haus Properties.
"And on a valuation, I asked the seller what she did for a living and she said she was in the adult film industry. She described the job, and also gifted me a stack of her 'films' to give to the team!" Jamie Lester, head of Haus Properties.

Guacamelee's first DLC is a costume-skill pack
The PlayStation 3 and PS Vita game Guacamelee! performed really well when it debuted on the PlayStation Network in April. So it's exciting to hear about what's happening next with the beat-em-up/platformer.
Toronto-based DrinkBox Studios has announced the first downloadable content for the game — a costume pack full of chickens, skeletons, and more. Each alters the looks and skills of main character Juan and Tostada, the female luchadore who assists in co-op. For example, the chicken costume allows you to regenerate health slowly but stamina less quickly. The DLC is due out tomorrow for $1.99.
One of the three costumes lets Juan and Tostada "identity swap." The pack includes new Trophies, too, which involve achieving different feats while wearing the costumes.
"A lot of people are asking for more content," DrinkBox founder Graham Smith told IGN. He said the studio "always wanted the player to be able to swap costumes as part of the full game, and we just didn't have time to do it. Specifically, we wanted people to be able to play as Tostada when they're playing on the Vita, and right now there's no way for that to happen."
Starting tomorrow, players can switch between the two characters at will by visiting checkpoints. Nice.
No extra level content for now, though.

It's now official. I like the headline over at the Coloradoan: "McInnis abandons Senate race; 'all eyes' on Schaffer." That Schaffer would be the next focus makes sense and jives with the test poll results of Colorado Republican political insiders here at Mount Virtus. As of 9:00 PM MDT, with 48 votes cast, the rankings are: Bob Schaffer - 27 (56%); Bill Owens - 6 (13%); Tom Tancredo - 5 (10%); Scott McInnis - 3 (6%); Mike Coffman, Marc Holtzman, and Bob Beauprez - 2 each (4%); Dan Caplis - 1 (2%). Considering the fact that Owens and Tancredo are mostly wishful thinking, McInnis has bowed out, and Republicans will be reluctant to embrace either Holtzman or Beauprez after last year's divisive primary, I think the field is clear for … [Read more...]

Senator Spence: Charter School Champion
Senator Nancy Spence (R-Centennial) deserves Colorado's Charter School Champion Award. A few weeks ago she led the charge to flip a highly regulatory, anti-charter school bill upside down. Today, she got the School Finance Act amended to prevent charter school students from being shortchanged. Spence's nemesis in both cases has been Senator Sue Windels (D-Arvada). After winning Round Two, the state senate's Charter School Champion expressed her frustration: "Frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of these repeated attempts, bill after bill, year after year, to undermine charters,†Spence said. "Parents want them because their kids obviously aren't being served by traditional schools. After trying for years to reason with lawmakers … [Read more...]
When is a Tax Increase Not a Tax Increase?
How do you sell a tax increase as something other than a tax increase? These days Colorado Democrats are even having a hard time with it. Last week Governor Bill Ritter announced the unveiling of the cleverly-named "Colorado Children's Amendment," which somehow would do two things simultaneously: 1) Freeze scheduled property tax rate reductions, raising next year's tax bill for homeowners and business owners in many of the state's school districts - ostensibly to save the State Education Fund (created by Amendment 23 to finance only certain K-12 expenses). Of course, this is not an entirely new idea - one that has been shot down before because it violates TABOR by changing tax policy without a vote of the people, but it has been … [Read more...]

Your input is greatly appreciated. Update: Where's the poll, you may ask? Yes, I notice it's not there. Blame Blogpoll for its sudden disappearance.

McInnis Out?
It's not often I get into rumors here on this site, but a credible source tells me that Scott McInnis soon may announce that he is withdrawing his bid for the Republican nomination for Colorado's 2008 U.S. Senate election. If it's true, there's clearly a close connection with the story breaking this weekend that the National Republican Senatorial Committee is recruiting Attorney General John Suthers to run for the seat vacated by Wayne Allard. Seems like it might be about time to start a "Draft Bob Schaffer" campaign. But let's wait and see if there's any truth to the rumor first of all. … [Read more...]

The Tax-and-Spend Ritter Chronicles: K-12 Education
Our Democrat Governor Bill Ritter announced today to Colorado homeowners: "No tax cut for you!" The Governor's plan is to freeze a scheduled cut in property tax rates so he can increase funding for K-12 education - already the richest, healthiest part of the state budget. The proposed funding increase (part of Senate Bill 199, this year's School Finance legislation) is primarily designed to create more full-day kindergarten and preschool slots. According to the reliable source of Colorado Senate News, Republican Senator Josh Penry correctly identified the move as a "tax increase," while Assistant Senate Minority Leader Nancy Spence rightly questioned the "one-size-fits-all approach" that trumps the Democrats' conveniently played "local … [Read more...]

Cheese class at Kowalski's
Take your knowledge of cheese to a new level by learning how to make mozzarella and burrata from scratch.
Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it a unique soft texture. The class will be taught by Jill Foster, an in-house cheese specialist at Kowalski's Market.
"We are excited to offer a series of classes to help people learn about the wide variety of local and imported cheeses," said Kris Kowalski Christiansen, chief operating officer, Kowalski's Markets.
The mozzarella and burrata class will be held Monday, June 9 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
The class is free, but space is limited to 25 at Kowalski's Woodbury Market in the "Next Level" classroom space. Register by calling (651) 578-8800.

A true southern man, Pete Moffat does not just drink Speight's, he compiles a history of the Dunedin brewery by collecting anything and everything associated with it.
Born and raised in Dunedin, the 44-year-old started his collection nine years ago when he moved back to the city from overseas.
As a young schoolboy, he would walk past the Speight's Brewery in Rattray St every day, and it has become an organisation he stays loyal to.
Mr Moffat loves drinking Speight's beer and has almost always preferred its Gold Medal Ale to any other.
''When I first started drinking, I drank DB [Dominion Breweries] but not for long. I soon changed allegiances to the good drop.''
He started gathering posters, beer labels and clothing then branched out to focus on items of historic and regional significance.
Posters from the 1920s, full beer bottles from the 1930s and even beer duty stamps from the 1860s when the beverage was taxed make up part of his collection.
Other treasures include Speight's couches, flags, keg and crock taps, pens, coasters and drink trays.
He has a photograph of the ''Jas Speight & Co Limited'' employees taken at the City Brewery, Dunedin, in 1922 as well as a Dunedin Brewery Company Ltd match striker for ''old wax vestas [matches]'' from 1920.
Internet auction sites have allowed Mr Moffat's collecting to accelerate. On average he buys, trades or finds an item a week.
''The main thing I collect is beer labels, but if I get my hands on any other stuff that is old or would look good in a home bar, I collect that too.''
With the expansion of his collection has come the desire to preserve Dunedin's brewing history, as well as that of the wider Otago region and even Southland.
Accordingly, Mr Moffat has McGavin and Strachan items as well as more modern memorabilia from Green Man and Emerson's.
New Zealand Breweries grew out of a merger of 10 breweries in 1923, including Speight's, Strachan's and McGavin's in Dunedin.
Speight's was established in 1876 and, by merger time, was the biggest brewery in New Zealand.
The Victoria Brewery, established by William Strachan in 1861, and the McGavin Brewery, established as the Union Brewery in 1882, did not survive the merger for long, however.
Mr Moffat also has relics from the Wilson Malt Extract Co Ltd, which was built in 1920 and closely associated with the Dunedin Brewery.
''Over the years, the collection has got a bit out of hand. If it's branded Speight's or has the three stars on it, I have to have it.''
If he won the lottery, Mr Moffat would build a home bar in which to display his treasures.
His odd Lion brewery posters may even have a place on the wall.
Lately, items from the McDuffs brewery in Dunedin, Invercargill Brewery, Wanaka Beerworks and Wetherstons near Lawrence have come into Mr Moffat's possession.
He boasts about 70 vintage beer bottles, still with their original contents, a further 100 empty antique beer bottles, and close to 500 beer labels.
''Some of them are quite rare, especially to find in good condition.''
Mr Moffat's collecting has yet to reach the point where he must set himself limits.
''I'll worry about that later. At the moment, if I want it, I'll get it,'' Mr Moffat admits.
He is a member of the New Zealand Breweriana and Can Collectors Society as well as the Otago Antique Bottle and Collectables Club.
A favourite item of his is the early 1900s William Strachan and Co stone beer crock he recently acquired.
Mr Moffat says he will always collect, so long as there are brewery items for him to covet.

The final night of "The Voice" Season 4 Blind Auditions aired Tuesday, and with the coaches having only one vacant spot each on their respective teams, they had to be very picky. Now was not the time for them to gush over any singer with a decent set of pipes and a pulse (like that Melissa McCarthy "SNL" skit parodying "The Voice" last weekend). So among the passed-over auditioners were Mark Lennon, longtime frontman of L.A. local heroes Venice (despite host Carson Daly's unabashed fanboying) and a cute indie nerd-boy named Dustin Hatzenbuhler. But by the end of the hour, four contestants made it through, and the teams were at long last complete. And it was game on.
Here are the final four singers who advanced to next week's Battle Rounds:
Jacqui Sandell - Jacqui certainly seemed like an interesting mixed bag: She's a Jersey girl, a former classical ballerina, and the tattooed frontwoman for Warped Tour band My Arcadia. (Side note: What is the deal with this "Voice"/Warped Tour connection? Are the "Voice" talent scouts Warped groupies or something? I think it's time for there to be an official "Warped Voice Tour" with Dia Frampton, Juliet Simms, Cassadee Pope, and this Jacqui chick.) Anyway, all that being said, I had mixed feelings about Jacqui's cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." The phrasing and arrangement were just a little off, a little uncomfortable, not quite in the pocket; while Jacqui did make the song her own, she didn't exactly make it any better. Usher spun his chair, although he admitted, "There were some things that I would like to improve…but I'm glad I turned." Blake Shelton, who also turned, was more effusive, gushing, "Your voice is so snaky to me…you've got a very sexy sound!" Unsurprisingly, Jacqui picked Blake, and Blake became the first coach to complete his team lineup. A victory dance ensued.
MEMBER OF: Team Blake
Amber Carrington - An all-American golden girl who showed up with her grandparents and a sad backstory (her mother died from breast cancer), this 19-year-old country cutie impressed with her cover of (fittingly) "Good Girl" by Carrie Underwood. I personally thought her stage presence was more impressive than her voice (though her voice was great too), which maybe explains why only Adam Levine hit his button. But Adam has always been a savvy "Voice" game-player, so I trust that his more honed ear heard something that newbie judges Usher and Shakira somehow didn't pick up. I know Adam's fellow "Voice" veteran Blake wanted Amber--"I wanted to push my button so bad! I hate Adam right now," he seethed--so I wouldn't be surprised if Blake makes good on his threat to steal Amber away in the Battle Rounds. But for now, Amber is Adam's girl.
MEMBER OF: Team Adam
Luke Edgemon - A white boy raised on black gospel (he got his start singing in an evangelical church), a professional backup singer for Mary J. Blige, a former "Glee" Warbler (just like Season 2 "Voice" finalist Chris Mann), and a Season 9 Hollywood Week "American Idol" contestant, cool Luke seemed fascinating before he even hit the "Voice" stage. Then he sang "I Can't Make You Love Me" and he became even more fascinating, giving the coaches some Daniel Merriweather/Daniel Bedingfield/George Michael realness. Usher was amazed, saying, "I've been waiting for a voice to really move me," but Shakira rallied hard (even propping up one of her legs to do her best Usher impression), and she won in the end. This was a really good coup for her. Shakira had arguably the weakest overall team this season, and she really needed someone like Luke on her side. Now, with Luke, Shakira could actually win this thing.
MEMBER OF: Team Shakira
Jessica Childress - Jessica left her joyless career in corporate PR (with her loyal husband's blessing) to pursue her musical dream, and it may turn out that this was a wise decision. Squeaking through at the last minute with her divalicious powerhouse cover of Bruno Mars's "I Think I Wanna Marry You," this adorable lady pretty much had every one of the coaches wanting to marry her. She was that lovable. But unfortunately for Adam, Shakira, and Blake, they'd already completed their teams--so Jessica was all Usher's. What a lucky man.
MEMBER OF: Team Usher
So now, we have our top 48. Below, I have listed the teams--ranked in my opinion from strongest to weakest team--with the individual contestants ranked in my order of favorites within each list. Adam still seems like the coach to beat (he certainly thinks so, since he bragged, "Season 4 feels like my season"), but each team has a few strong contenders. So Season 4 could still be anybody's game. See you next week, and let the Battles begin!
Midas Whale - quirky folk/rock duo featuring "Idol" alum Jon Peter Lewis
Judith Hill - former Michael Jackson backup singer
Sarah Simmons - music student who wowed with "One Of Us"
Sasha Allen - Alicia Keys backup singer, young mom
Warren Stone - rocker firefighter, handsome family man
Amy Whitcomb - two-time contestant on "The Sing-Off" whose montage performance showed promise
Karina Iglesias - feisty music school teacher
Amber Carrington - sweet country girl who covered Underwood

I am in the process of rewriting a big integer class. the older version is fast but makes some non-portable assumptions (inline assembly). the new class takes an additional Traits template parameter that allows customization of the internal adding functionality, etc.
what I'm working on right now is a generic function that will work with any unsigned type to use with the default Traits.
here's what I've come up with:
my concern is the efficiency of the algorithm. is there a better/faster way to do this?Code:template <typename Unsigned> static Unsigned adc(Unsigned * dst, Unsigned src, Unsigned carry = 0) { static Unsigned one = 1, half = (std::numeric_limits<Unsigned>::max)() >> one; Unsigned tmp = *dst; *dst += src + carry; return (src >> one) + (tmp >> one) + (((src & one) + (tmp & one) + carry) >> one) > half; }

MR. LAUER: President Obama also announced that Vice President Joe Biden would oversee the implementation of the stimulus package because, in his words, "nobody messes with Joe."
Mr. Vice President, good morning. Nice to have you with us.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: It's great to be with you. I saw the look on my wife's face. She didn't quite understand that.
MR. LAUER: (Laughs.) You're going to have to deal with that one at home.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: (Laughs.)
MR. LAUER: Let me ask you about this speech, okay? The president laid out in broad terms his plans to stimulate the economy, to loosen up the lending markets, to invest in things like energy and education and infrastructure.
Let me read you what the man who will follow you on this program this morning, Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, had to say about the speech. He said, "Democratic leaders say their legislation will grow the economy. What it will do is grow the government, increase our taxes down the line and saddle future generations with debt." He went on to say, "Who among us would ask our children for a loan so we can spend money we don't have on things we don't need?"
Can you respond?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Yes. I'd ask the governor, "Who among us would let our kids not be able to have good meals or fathers not have jobs, to be kicked out of their homes, not being able to have a -- to borrow money? Who among us would do that?"
You know, I mean, in Louisiana they're losing 400 jobs a day. What's the governor doing about that? I hear a lot of criticism, but I never hear anything in response. What would you do? The fact of the matter is, Matt, the president was clear and commanding. He said, "Look, you've got to get the economy moving by stimulating work. You've got to get people" -- if we don't do anything, every economist says we're going to lose 4 (million) to 5 million more jobs this year.
You've got to move. You've got to stabilize it. You've got to go get the credit flowing in the banks. And then you've got to, at the same time when you start this, you've got to put in place a way in which to gain control of this so it doesn't get out of control in the out years.
MR. LAUER: Mr. Vice --
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: And the president laid that out clearly.
MR. LAUER: Mr. Vice President, over the last month the president has lowered expectations and talked about the fact that this crisis was going to be longer and deeper than any of us planned. And it was interesting on Capitol Hill yesterday; the chairman of the Fed, Ben Bernanke, went up there and said, in his opinion, the economic recovery could start at the end of this year. That sounds like two very different stories.
I'm curious. Does the president agree with that?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Well, look, the economic recovery will start, we believe, our economists believe within the administration, this year. By the third or fourth quarter you'll see us moving to positive growth. But the president is letting people know, though, in similar recessions -- and none as bad as this -- unemployment always lags far behind.
So the idea that we're going to take this action and unemployment is going to drop off the edge of the world and we're going to get back to 3 percent unemployment, that's not realistic. It's going to take some time. And he's letting the people know that there is no magic bullet to this. And so -- but he is absolutely, positively convinced that if we move decisively, we can be back in the saddle again, leading the world in the 21st century within the next two years.
MR. LAUER: Let me take you back to something you said on this program September 16th, 2008. Of course, you were running at the time. And this was the morning after we all learned that AIG, the insurance giant, was on the brink of collapse. And Meredith asked you, "Senator, do you think that AIG should be bailed out by the federal government?" You said, quote, "No, I don't think they should be bailed out by the federal government."
Here we are, five months later. We've given them $150 billion. They could need some $60 billion more. Were you right? And is the president now throwing more good money after bad?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: I was right and he's right. Let me explain what I mean. I was right then because I was convinced they wouldn't put the constraints on AIG they needed to. We are not going to do what the last administration did with AIG. You're going to see us moving forward in repairing and helping these banks get back to solvency, but we're going to demand that they restructure.
We're going to demand that they be in a position that, when we finish helping them with taxpayers' money, they are solvent and they are secure. We're not going to allow them to do what, in fact, is allowed with AIG and others in the first attempt in the last administration to help the financial institutions. They must pay part of the price if they have capital.
MR. LAUER: All right.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: And so that's the difference, and that's part of the job that this administration has.
MR. LAUER: Jim Miklaszewski, our Pentagon correspondent, is reporting this morning the president's nearing a decision on a plan that would withdraw 92,000 U.S. troops from Iraq within 19 months. Now, you guys ran on a pledge to withdraw all U.S. combat troops within 16 months. I'm not going to split hairs on the three months; I don't think anybody will. But I want to get these troop numbers down. That would not be a withdrawal of all combat troops, would it?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Look, the president is going to make an announcement on Friday -- I believe it's Friday, or very soon -- on this very point, Matt. And I'd rather have him speak to that. He'll speak to it in detail. And I think the American public will understand exactly what we're doing, and I think they'll be pleased.
MR. LAUER: But are we going to -- are you keeping a campaign promise or breaking a campaign promise?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: We're keeping a campaign commitment.
MR. LAUER: Vice President Joe Biden. Mr. Vice President, good to be with you.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Good to be with you, Matt. Thank you.
MR. LAUER: Thank you.
