Wisdom Crafts
In July 2010, we launched a product line called Wisdom Crafts -- products without a price. Piloted in the Gramshree store in Ahmedabad, here is the description of the idea:
Wisdom Crafts are value-based products that are offered on a gift-economy basis -- where there are no prices and it is upto the buyers to reflect the value of each product and pay what they are inspired to offer.
By creating a ripple of beauty, wisdom, and gifting, we hope that each Wisdom Craft will contribute to a cultural shift from consumption to contribution, transaction to trust, isolation to community, & scarcity to abundance.
Following up on the success of the original experiment, we opened up another rack of Wisdom Crafts at Gandhi Ashram, in Feb 2010. We're grateful to all of you that support it, to serendipity that initiated the project, and to Meghna Agarwal who continues to guide the project's vision.
Latest: Wisdom Crafts launched in Pune, at Urban Ashram. View Slideshow of Inauguration and also check out the story in Sakal Times.

D.C. DOMINATION. Stunned by three first-half goals in seven minutes, SKC lost at home for only second time this year, but did so convincingly. Luis Silva assisted on goals by Fabian Espindola and Chris Rolfe, and Rolfe set up the third goal for Perry Kitchen as United won its eighth game of the last 12.
Despite taking a long trip to Nicaragua midweek for a Concacaf Champions League match, SKC started brightly, but it labored futilely once it fell behind. Espindola fired home his ninth goal from the top of the box in the 24th minute, and four minutes later, Rolfe got behind the SKC back line to score United's second.
Kitchen got the third by running onto a Rolfe pass and cutting past Aurelien Collin to score at the near post. SKC pushed forward in the second half without success; Graham Zusi's shot off the bar was as close as it came to scoring.
Zusi was one of seven SKC starters who had started on Tuesday in Nicaragua. The next night, D.C. United opened its CCL campaign but, perhaps tellingly, rested its first
GALAXY GETS CLOSER. Edging toward that five-team logjam atop the overall standings is the Galaxy, which despite a draining 4-3 victory over Colorado on Wednesday looked the fresher and sharper team while downing Vancouver, 2-0, at StubHub Center. The Galaxy trails leader D.C. United by three points and the pursuers by two though it is fourth in the Western Conference.
Landon Donovan darted to the back post to fire a scuffed shot by Robbie Keane into the roof of the net in the fourth minute and Keane earned another bizarre assist when his miskick rolled perfectly for Marcelo Sarvas, whose backheel had set up a good chance for Keane, to collect and shoot low just inside the far post.
Midfielder Mauro Rosales, acquired earlier in the week in a trade with Chivas USA, played the second half but the Whitecaps attack continued to sputter. Costa Rican defender Kendall Waston debuted for Vancouver as a 79th minute substitute and earned a caution eight minutes later. Teammate Johnny Leveron was sent off in the final minute for fouling Alan Gordon from behind.
RED BULLS' RECORD FALLS. For whatever reason, the prolific goalscoring of Bradley Wright-Phillips has earned little mention of the seasonal record of 27 goals held by Roy Lassiter and Chris Wondolowski, but maybe reaching the 20 mark with a pair against Montreal will trigger the discussion.
Wright-Phillips' double pushed him past Juan Pablo Angel's team record of 19 goals set in 2007, and cemented a victory set in motion by Thierry Henry's two goals 14 minutes apart. Henry tied the game with a diving header from an Eric Alexander cross and put his team ahead with a sweet shot off the inside of the post. Wright-Phillips scored his 19th goal from an Henry assist and after Andres Romero narrowed the deficit to a goal, he tucked away a pass from Peguy Luyindula in the final minute.
Wright-Phillips needs seven goals in the last 10 games of the season to match the mark set by Lassiter in 1996 and tied by Wondolowski two seasons ago.
DYNAMO DENTED. The prospects of two-time champion and four-time MLS Cup finalist Houston to reach the playoffs this season dropped another notch with a 3-0 loss in Columbus to the surging Crew.
DaMarcus Beasley sat out the game with a strained hamstring and Houston nearly took the lead in the opening minutes when a mistake set up a chance for Will Bruin, but keeper Steve Clark swept the ball out of danger. Columbus took command and won going away with goals by Justin Meram, Adam Bedell and Aaron Schoenfeld to win its fourth game in the last six and move into a fourth-place tie with Toronto. Houston is ninth, six points out of the playoff tier.
FIRE SINGES TORONTO. Playing his first game for Chicago, forward Robbie Earnshaw scored against his former team as the Fire earned a 2-2 tie in Toronto.
TFC took an early lead on an own goal that caromed into the net off Fire defender Bakary Soumare, and though it had to labor for more than an hour to equalize, Chicago pulled even with Earnshaw's goal in the 70th minute. TFC regained the lead with a goal by Gilberto, but the Fire rallied again to get the point on a 90th-minute strike by Quincy Amarikwa.
DROUGHT CONTINUES. A 1-0 loss at New England was Chivas USA's fifth straight shutout and a much-needed three points for the Revs, who stayed just one point out of a playoff spot in sixth place.
A smooth passing move set up Lee Nguyen to score his team-high ninth goal in
the 56th minute. Kelyn Rowe and Diago Kobayashi exchanged passes on the right flank to get the ball to Nguyen, who from outside the penalty area
curled a shot high into the net. The back line and keeper Bobby Shuttleworth nailed down his sixth shutout of the season.

Obama however ruled out military solutions in tackling terrorism
We've heard this before from Obama Inc's minions, but I think this might be the first time that Obama said it out loud.
"There is no doubt in the progress we have made in dealing with some extremist groups, for example core Al Qaida and Bin Laden" stressing that "they have been greatly diminished".
He noted that "What is also true is that in some ways the problem has also metastasized, we have more regional terrorist organisations like Boko Haram in Nigeria espousing an extremist ideology, showing no regard for human life".
He admitted that despite not having a transnational capacity like the other organisations "they are doing great harm in Africa and in the Middle East and in South Asia".
Obama blamed the upsurge of terrorist groups on the fact that "countries are not delivering for their people and where there sources of conflict and underlining frustrations that have not been adequately dealt with"
He however ruled out military solutions in tackling terrorism but advocated that governments "give people opportunity, education and resolve conflicts through regular democratic processes, the less likely they are to take root"
Millions for Islamic appeasement and tribute, but forget about self-defense.
Obama's emphasis on Boko Haram as a local group, as opposed to the multinational Al Qaeda, despite Boko Haram's ties to Al Qaeda and a body count that tops Al Qaeda in the past few years, gives him an excuse to continue refusing to treat Boko Haram as a terrorist group while preaching more appeasement toward the Islamic regions of Nigeria.
Kerry had earlier called for more "restraint" in fighting Boko Haram's Islamic genocide.
Genocide Watch describes Boko Haram as a Jihadist organization seeking to impose Islamic Sharia law on Nigeria and has placed it at Stage 6 of the 8 stages of genocide.
Boko Haram has ordered Christians to leave Northern Nigeria. Its leader has stated, "We are also informing Christians all over the country to embrace Islam or they will be attacked. If they fail to do so, there is nobody to blame but themselves."
In pursuit of its genocidal Islamist goals, Boko Haram has killed thousands of Nigerians and destroyed hundreds of churches, many in bombing attacks.
Despite all this, Obama Inc. has refused to list Boko Haram as a terrorist organization, despite its ties to Al Qaeda, and repeatedly pressured the Nigerian government to appease it instead. After Boko Haram turned down an amnesty and the Nigerian government has responded to the terror by advancing its campaign, Secretary of State John Kerry is warning the Nigerian government to show restraint.

How 'Sanitized' Are Internal Audit Reports?
Audit committee members at major companies said that they were getting "sanitized" internal audit reports that aren't really that useful in order to accommodate management sensitivities, according to CFO.com. The remarks were made during a PWC webcast featuring John Fazio, the audit committee chair of Sequenom, a life sciences company, as well as Heidrick & Struggles International, an executive search firm.

LONDON, June 29 (UPI) -- British telecommunications giant Vodafone is considering either a partnership or an acquisition of rival T-Mobile UK, a source close to the discussions said.
Although in a crowded market with five major players, Vodafone is the largest British phone operator with 25 percent of the market share. Although smaller, T-Mobile UK's 15 percent market share would give Vodafone a substantial jump ahead of the rest of the pack, The Times of London reported Monday.
T-Mobile's owner Deutsche Telekom is understood to be looking for an exit from the British market, The Times said.
T-Mobile UK is said to be worth between $4 billion and $5.6 billion.

Brazilian midfielder Oscar will be representing live in his home country for the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament. The Chelsea player in his upcoming book 'Oscar's Brazil' with author Tom Watt has revealed all about his beginning in football.
The book that will have its sales help Casa de Zezino, a project in Sao Paulo in helping homeless children also throws light on football in Brazil.
Oscar writes:
I grew up in a suburb of Sao Paulo called Americana. Life was very different there compared to the centre of the city. There are drugs, crime and the threat of violence everywhere but Americana was a calmer, more relaxed place and the problems weren't anything like the poorer neighbourhoods of Sao Paulo.
It was a good place to be a boy who liked football. Americana was safe enough to go off and play on my own in the park. I could be out there all day, every day. Perfect!
I learned how to play football as a kid through trial and error, playing every day in the street or in the park. When you start kicking a ball about in Brazil, there are no tactics. Whoever can dribble the ball and score just does it. And that's what I learned to do.
I played futsal (small-sided indoor football) right up until I turned professional at 16. I think Brazilian football has reached the level it has because of futsal. The pitches are smaller. The goals are smaller. You have to be faster in everything you do; particularly, you have to make quick decisions
If you're dribbling, you have to do it by controlling the ball in a much smaller area. If you're shooting, you must be much more accurate because the goal – the target – is smaller.
A lot of Brazilian players are self-taught like me. My first coaching didn't come from a club but a local escolinha, a soccer school run by the municipality so you didn't have to pay. There was one near to where I lived next to a little local pitch.
By the time I joined my first club, Sao Paulo, I had already developed my style of play. Sao Paulo was an hour away from where I grew up. It is a fantastic city, with everything you could want; restaurants, shops, things to see and do. It's a very busy city.
Everyone else in Brazil says people from Rio are just on the beach all day, every day. Paulistanos, they say, just work all the time; people from the south are bad-tempered. We all get stereotyped!
At Sao Paulo they said I was going to be like a new Kaka. I was supposed to do all the things Kaka had done with the club. I wanted to say: 'No, I'm just me.'

Because of the effects of severe weather conditions, retailers were unable to witness increase growing traffic at its stores and register higher sales. However, things seem to become better after the cold weather faded away and spring season came in. This also boosted outdoor activities as people went out to play. Also, the FIFA World Cup was an important boost for people to shop.
This resulted in gains for retailer, especially the athletic retailers. With the World Cup fever all over the world, footwear retailers are in merriment as sales have been increasing. A typical example here is that of Finish Line (NASDAQ:FINL) which posted a blockbuster quarter, surpassing the analysts' expectations.
A well-performed quarter
Revenue surged 16% to $406.5 million, over last year's quarter. The primary reasons for the increase were addition of new stores and same store sales growth of 5% which boosted Finish Line's top line. The gain in comparable store sales was because of higher store traffic and more purchases.

Also, the company has been able to combat the problems of decreasing demand for running shoes by providing a variety of other products such as basketball gears. Basketball products have been much in vogue these days as people want more of such products. This was evident from Nike's (NYSE:NKE) latest quarterly results, which reported that basketball products were a bright spot on its performance.
The footwear retailer's one of the key moves was its partnership with Macy's (NYSE:M). This enabled the company to launch its products in Macy's stores, one of the leading grocery chains in the U.S. These shops were introduced jointly in April 2013 and are expected to benefit the company in future. This provided an opportunity to offer its products to a wider customer base and a greater exposure to the retailer.
Going down to the bottom line, earnings for the quarter jumped to $0.28 per share as compared to $0.10 per share last year. Further, despite an increase in input costs, gross margin expanded to 31.7% from 30.5% in the previous year. This highlights the fact that the retailer was able to manage its costs efficiently along with a growing top line.
A few points to consider
It is not only Finish Line that is witnessing higher demand for athletic products, but also peers such as Foot Locker (FL) are experiencing an increase in customer interests. In fact, Foot Locker registered a comparable store sales growth of 7.5% in its latest quarter, reported last month. Both Foot Locker and Finish Line benefitted from the new products launched by Nike, which attracted customers. Also, demand for products such as sports gear and sneakers increased rapidly.
Moreover, Finish Line enhanced its online shopping by expanding its presence in the online space. It has also strengthened its website and has integrated its stores to it. With the growing popularity of online shopping, this has helped the company to a large extent.
Final words
Finish Line has been doing remarkably well, which is clearly evident from its recent quarter. Further, its efforts on expanding its presence, through partnership with Macy's and integrating stores to websites, should prove to be fruitful. Also, it has repurchased 700,000 shares during the quarter, which delighted its investors. Additionally, it reaffirmed its guidance for the year. These points together make Finish Line look like a promising bet.

Seems as if EVERY time I ask any site how you know if someone blocked you its always are they gone from your friends list, check your list, blah blah list. DOES anyone ever STOP to think of those of us who were NEVER FRIENDS on Facebook need to know how will I know if they blocked me? I have looked page after page on this site and got exhausted looking for the answer.
We were never friends but messaged everyday quite often and I know they blocked me because I made them mad. All most every site says if you can see their name in the search they haven't blocked you, but even this site says that, but also says if you try their profile and it says page you requested something something is showing, then yes they blocked you. If that is so why are they still showing up in my search bar name and thumbnail when I type in there name? By the way they don't show up on my droid when I search(rarely talked to them on droid) but name thumbnail photograph does my home computer were we talked alot.
COULD ANY ONE please help since this is A QUESTION NEVER ASKED OR ANSWERED AT LEAST 50 pages ON THIS SITE that I went back to. Thanks

UK at risk of 'tipping back into recession'
The economy will barely grow over the next three years and is in grave danger of tipping back into recession, a leading City economist said yesterday.
James Carrick, of Legal & General Investment Management, who predicted the onset of the recession in 2008, said the economy would grow by 0.9 per cent this year and by about 0.4 per cent in 2012 and 2013. This is significantly below what the Government's official forecaster expects.
In its March forecast, the Office for Budgetary Responsibility said the economy would grow by 1.7 per this year and by 2.5 per cent and 2.9 per cent in 2012 and 2013 respectively. However, it is widely expected to have to slash these forecasts next month as the recovery fails to…

1. Re: grid control disk group usageLaura Sallwasser Jan 29, 2013 11:30 PM (in response to 59640)Hi Peter:
I am not sure if this type of detail is stored in sysman tables, but you can certainly query ASM itself for the data. Check out this script:
Script to report the list of files stored in ASM and CURRENTLY NOT OPENED [ID 552082.1]
I use a form of the script to detail consumption by database within disk group on ASM 11.2 and later. Play around with the sys_connect_by_path function. Depending on how you store content in ASM, you may be able to extract the database name with the function.
Getting historical consumption from EM11g may be more of a challenge especially at any level of detail. You may consider storing summary content yourself for reporting. I create a small DBA-only database and send ASM detail to it.

these are the things ive seen in the convictions videos that make me lol and wonder what where they thinking!?
1) the hoodie. Why does sam think that him wearing a hoodie is going to make him less suspicious. well if your in washington with your hood up just walking around weirdly they are going after you. a hoodie is a terrible hiding place
So what, now everybody that puts on a hoodie is a wanted man? It does not make you more suspicious, period. Thousands upon thousands of people wear hoodies every day in D.C when its cold. They are inexpensive, warm, and very very common. I wear hoodies all the time in the winter and nobody gives me a second look. This whole "hoodies are for criminals" argument is ridiculous. As for the rest of the points you tried to make, they dont hold water either. But Ive got two words for you, EARLY BUILD!
Yeah, the current videos are crud (same goes for the level itself), but it's still too early to totally snap. Right now, I'd like to see other levels, better levels, less crowded levels, rather than try to point out all the flaws I can find in the early videos of the park level. It just looks like a boring level, anyway. We need more of this game than THAT. Hm. Something solid. I don't know why they decided to go with that one.
I can say that it will be screwed up for me, because it doesn't meet the requirements I have got for a splinter cell game.Originally posted by simulacra:
Nobody even knows if it's screwed up or not!
They've stated the three button gameplay (active, passive, grab) in several videos, "just like in a sports game", some producer said in a video...When was the COMPLETE layout of the controllers revealed?
If you've been following the video's SilentAce07 a developer says, the game is similar to frogger in some aspects *shrugs*. I agree with alot that stealth_chill has said. In our Modern day, dressing up like Sam Fisher is more likely to get you into trouble then not. For example, alot of crime is comitted by those who wear hoodies, to hide their faces from CCTV. Infact there was a robbery at the local shop here yesterday at gun point by guys in hoodies, and alot of crime in general is done by guys in hoodies. Innocent people who wear hoodies get labeled as criminals, and thus get checked by police quite oftern.Originally posted by SilentAce07:
Your post lost all relevance when you mentioned that you "heard" that its like frogger...
Who said that? Your inside source? Our an interview with a dev? Because Id say thats something you made up, because nothing shown or talked about even relates to frogger. At all...
I don't get how Sam is mean't to be inconspicious by standing by stranger, which does the opposite but makes him look suspicious. Since terrorist attacks have taken place alot, even in the game, more people are looking out for their fellow country men and women, Sam fisher sticks out like a sore thumb. I also like how every single AI stares at you till you leave their field of view the lynx effect maybe? The same happens on Chaos Theory, you have the lights out and it's pitch black, you put Night vision on, and be upside down on a pipe and the AI looks directly up at you but for some reason doesn't acknowledge you, and even says "ah must be nothing" something which never happens on tenchu. I really hope they fix that. but to be honest thats such a small issue when presented with the game in it's current format.
The three button layout Burningdeath talks about is discussed in this Video.
lolololol jesus, i have to laugh,
Firstly stealth, the videos are released to give the gamers this lil thing called a TASTER!!! thats all.
secondly, how about you try and follow the story line, At the begining of DA sam looses his daughter, you are told he basicaly looses the plot, so why should a man that no longer has a reason to care worry about something like shaving or even taking care of himself.
tell you what, have a kid, watch them grow up, loose them and lets see how well you would cope!!!!
i think its a good idea to actually put more of a story line into the SC games cause to be honest, theres only so much staying in the shadows i can take
If he has no motivation like you say there and I keep saying, Sam would eat the bullet without hesitation. Ubisoft made the relationship with Sam and his daughter feel insignificant to the gamers a 5 second clip of a car coming, so to many it's no loss, because they didn't delve into it or explain the emotion Sam went through with her death. It didn't make him a darker persona, he felt weak and broken, (Insert Pantera - I'm Broken tune here) you just find yourself in prision with a string thread storyline, which had numerous plot holes.secondly, how about you try and follow the story line, At the begining of DA sam looses his daughter, you are told he basicaly looses the plot, so why should a man that no longer has a reason to care worry about something like shaving or even taking care of himself.
The developers are there to give teasers and hype the game up. But from my perspective who has played all the games so far it doesn't fill me and others with confidence, mentioning frogger and a control system like a football game?! Also they point where they say the game is very linear, with how things are designed on levels like the propane cans are an obvious diversion etc.. If they're double guessing themselves and contradicting their own game design what faith are we mean't to have, seriously?
True, but the same developer (Raphael Parent) also said that they'll probably add more buttons to it and that the demo which was shown at the Ubi Days used an early build - pre alpha of the engine.Originally posted by BurningDeath.:
They've stated the three button gameplay (active, passive, grab) in several videos, "just like in a sports game", some producer said in a video...
1st off, what is a conversation that is one sided, where does it get w/o two opinions? Positive and negative opinions create constructive crticism when the the nay sayers are mature at the least.Originally posted by simulacra:
Nobody even knows if it's screwed up or not!
And when did the demo come out? When was the COMPLETE layout of the controllers revealed?
I must be the only one that dont see the meaning of posting negativity, I can NOT get my head around that, the devs are just gonna shut the door on the forum even more, and might start listening less to the community managers.
"Ok rhoulette, what have you got for us today? the usual bickering and venting about us doing what the heck we want to with our own franchise?, you can file it in the recycleable waste-bin over there"
According to this thread writing I haven't seen too much immature negativity. And who are you to say what we are for having an opinion *******.
They can and should change the game, it is indeed possible. Remember back when the pc community asked and petitioned for svm with only a few months before release and guess what, they got svm...The devs wont change the game, FACT.
Right about now frogger is looking better than splinter cell, sad right? Walking through a crowd like I can do everyday of my life anytime that I want to, will get pretty stupid.
How about you all shut up? They won't read the forums and they won't take your suggestions. Sure, they'll change every single thing because they need something new, but even if it sucks, they don't care. They don't care about you anymore!! They WILL make the game suck whether you like it or not. They WILL change everything even though they know it will ruin the game's title forever. So why bother posting about what you want/don't want?

From Well Being Journal Vol. 8, No. 2 ~ March/April 1999
by David Schrieber
When I was sixty-five, I went to the Island of Oahu and had a routine physical exam and blood test at the VA Hospital in Honolulu. A few days later, the doctor called me at my home in Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. He said something seemed wrong with my blood. He was sending the sample to the military hospital (the Tripler Army Hospital and Medical Center). I became scared.
After that, my doctors sent me for more tests, at the oncology department blood lab. They took ten blood samples during three days of tests, including bone scans. These tests were sent to the mainland for analysis and profiles on blood plasma cells. They found too many antibodies and too much protein in the blood. The tests, the doctor said, meant that I had multiple myeloma. He said, I've got bad news. This is cancer of the bloodand there is no cure for it. You will be dead in four months.
I not only felt rotten by this time because of the diagnosis, I just felt rotten in my body. I looked like a scarecrow. I had lost lots of weight. I often felt like keeling over when I was standing. I had no energy. During this time, I had to go to Honolulu every month for analysis and treatment. I did that for about a year.
The doctor had not started me on chemotherapy in the first few months. I had heard of wheatgrass and the effects its high chlorophyll content had on the blood. (Ed.: The chlorophyll molecule of wheatgrass juice is very similar to the hemoglobin molecule of human blood.) I started taking wheatgrass juice soon after my diagnosis. I drank at least two eight-ounce glasses a day for almost a year. I even grew the wheatgrass myself.
Tests showed that my health condition sort of maintained itself during the wheatgrass time, but I still felt rotten. I prayed the Bah'ai healing prayer everyday. My tests involved bone lesions and nuclear isotope bone scans, and all during the later six months, the doctor kept testing my blood and weight. The protein levels and antibodies had stabilized, and the myeloma was not progressing. And I wasn't dead.
The doc said I didn't need any chemo at that time. By then, I had given up on the wheatgrass, and for three months had been taking spirulina. I started taking six tablets a day, but that didn't seem right, so I took ten per day. Ten made me feel stronger and less nervous, and I began to feel more relaxed. I was physically stronger.
I think the spirulina was working because of its whole food aspects: the vitamin B complex, the proteins, the essential amino acids, and the chlorophyll. The rotten feeling I had in my body never came back after I started taking spirulina. I started gaining weight back. Now I even have a bit of a pot belly, and I've gained weight on my chest. I weigh more now than I did when I was healthy, before the myeloma set in. I feel like a twenty-five year old, and I am seventy.
I think spirulina cures and prevents cancer. It is a wonderful supplement for anything. Chlorophyll helps clean out the arteries, and spirulina is very high in chlorophyll. It is grown in such intense sun. I felt so good about spirulina that when a friend of ours for over twenty years began to have constant pain, I had to tell her about it.
This friend is eighty years old, the wife of a probate judge. She began to have constant pain in all her muscles and she couldn't sleep. She saw four different doctors, but they could not figure it out. Each time we saw her, she was worse. I told her she should take spirulina, and about my story of taking ten tablets a day. She started taking the dosage.
In one month, she gained ten pounds. I asked her how she felt, and she said she felt young again. She no longer sat with her arms folded up or walked hunched over. Her husband started taking the spirulina, and he feels much better, too. I feel the spirulina saved her from a lot of pain and made the quality of her life better.
One more health benefit occurred to me from spirulina. For ten years, I had been going to the Vitreoretinal Foundation in Tennessee for my eyes. I had a cataract removed ten years ago, and I had a retinal tear and laser treatment. Then three years ago, I had a diagnosis of macular degeneration. I would see telephone poles with a crook in them. My center vision was faded. I had tunnel vision. The doctors said it could not be stopped; there is no cure.
During the time I had been taking the spirulina, and three years after the diagnosis, I had my eyes reexamined for a determination of the health of the retinal cells. The doctor looked them over and then he said, Amazing! Your retina is not worse. Amazing. In fact, it's better. I can now see poles with no center vision problems. I attribute the regeneration of my macular cells to the spirulina.


text: Hi All, Our new system has been humming along fairly well. We are breaking all time traffic and user registration records since the upgrade, so it seems we are on the right track -but there is still a lot of work to do. We are currently running a customized vBulletin 4.0.7 core system. Over the last month or so vBulletin have released 4.0.8, and 4.1 PL1, These are 2 major point releases fixing 600+ bugs in the core software. Our development environment is now on 4.1, but we need quite a bit of custom coding before we roll it out to our main live site. This is a bit of a challenge during the holiday season. My usual coders are not available until the new year, so we hope to pick up on development of APUG the first week of January. We will be going through all feedback and bug report threads on APUG and fixing as much as possible. With the new updates will also come a major gallery update and possibly a new homepage that brings more attention to industry news. So, from now until Jan. the main focus will be on clearing the help desk queues, general site support and server maintenance. With the added site traffic the amount of help desk requests seem to be growing exponentially. Apologies to those still waiting on help requests, they should be cleared up soon. Thanks! Sean

Hi Kimberly, Thank you very much for your lovely comments. We had a very tight budget, so we didn't give away any favours. We had empty boxes on the dessert tables, so guests can use them to take some treats home. I think it worked out pretty good. Because it was a Mexican theme, we also had different dips and served the chips in sombreros.

"Let My People Come" — yes, that title means exactly what you think it does — is still dropping trou and dropping jaws four decades after its off-Broadway debut in 1974.
The adults-only revue about sex is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a four-week run at Andrews Living Arts (ALA) in Fort Lauderdale. There are plans to mount productions in Key West and Orlando, as well as a possible Las Vegas residency.
"I had seen the production in New York at the Village Gate in my early 20s back in 1975," ALA's artistic director Robert Nation says. "I was really taken by it. It was a lot of fun. They really treated sex with respect and showed the beauty of it."
Nation went on to stage-manage the show for 10 years in Philadelphia in the late 1970s and helped direct the touring production in Montreal, Canada.
"Over the years, material has been added and deleted," says Earl Wilson Jr., the show's composer. "So we have a lot of material that they can choose from. I must say, I haven't done the show recently with the nudity, so the fact that [ALA] did it I thought was gorgeous, really spectacular."
Wilson, who saw the show on opening weekend before leaving for Las Vegas to pave the way for a re-imagined Las Vegas production with new material in early 2015, says he also liked the interactivity of Nation's staging.
"They bring the audience onstage to do various naughty things," he says. "They seemed to love it."
Wilson says the show came about through a conversation with longtime Tommy Tune producer Phil Oesterman, who directed "Let My People Come" during its Broadway run in 1976. "It was actually kind of a dare," Wilson says.
The idea was to come up with a funnier, sunnier version of "Oh! Calcutta!" with stronger songs, which is why Nation feels the musical is right for Orlando and Key West.
"I think the show will play well in cities with lots of tourists," Nation adds. "Orlando is such a big community with actors, either with Disney now or who used to work with Disney. Key West, too. And I think there are large crowds of people there who will enjoy it."
"Let My People Come" will run through Sept. 6 at Andrews Living Arts Studio, 23 NW Fifth St., in Fort Lauderdale. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Tickets cost $29.95. Call 800-838-3006 or go to AndrewsLivingArts.org. No one under 18 admitted.

It looks as if 2K Sports' acquisition of the WWE license will result in a lot more than just a new logo on the box. 2K Sports has released a list of several changes it will make in WWE 2K14. These include some things that needed to happen for a long time, and I'm excited about what I'm hearing.
New Navigation System
Superstars will move faster now, hopefully bringing the action to more resemble what we see on WWE TV on Monday and Friday nights. All walking, running and dragging motions have been revamped for a more realistic look. Speaking of running, all superstars will now have a starting up animation when they begin running. Thank the wrasslin' gods, as online matches had deteriorated into a duel of who could spam running attacks the fastest. When Brodus Clay spends most of a match running around at full speed, things have gotten way, way out of hand.
Strike System
Strike combos will be quicker and harder to reverse now, with completing a combo automatically putting an opponent into a groggy state.
This was perhaps the only part of the system I found more annoying than the running grapples. People good at reversals would counter your grapple, then you would counter the counter. Before you know it, what was going on looked more like "The Matrix" than a wrestling match. That might be realistic in a match between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. If the Big Show is suddenly an amateur wrestling specialist, that doesn't look right. Now wrestlers will counter grapples by doing a move of their own. This should speed matches up, and make things more exciting.
Catching Finishers
The ability to catch an opponent with moves such as the RKO is straight out of WWE programming. But once you had a finisher, nobody was crazy enough to jump off the top rope and let you hit it. WWE 2K14 adds a couple of more ways to land them. You can send the opponent off with an Irish whip, then land the finisher on their return. Certain moves will catapult the enemy into the air, allowing you to hit a catch finisher.
More OMG Moments
OMG Moments are one of my favorite additions to the series in recent years. These are the chant starting moments during the match everybody is talking about the next day. They include superplexes that collapse the ring and spears through the ringside barricade. It's one thing to pin your friend, it's entirely different to put him through the top of a cage or the announcer's table. New OMG Moments include ring apron DDTs and kicks to the head against the ring post.
Tag matches and handicap matches are often defined by those moves that allow one guy to take out two opponents. WWE 2K14 will add the Double Attitude Adjustment, Double Shellshock and Double Chokeslam. In one on two matchups, a superstar such as John Cena often has the other team right where he wants them.
WWE 13 suffered from a surprising lack of two counts. The only time you see a one-count on TV is when a heel goes for the overconfident pin. The latest WWE sim will address this, and now you and your friends can practice saying "Two and a half!" in the commentator's voice of your choice.
Combine all this good news with the inclusion of The Ultimate Warrior, and WWE 2K14 may be a true rebirth for the long running sim. It arrives on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 October 29, 2013.

Asamoah Gyan suffers groin injury in Shanghai SIPG defeat
Shanghai SIPG forward Asamoah Gyan sustained a groin injury and was stretched off in their opening Asian Champions League game against Melbourne Victory.
The former Al Ain and Sunderland forward started the game and played an hour as his team were handed a 2-1 away defeat against Melbourne Victory. Gyan was taken off on a stretcher in the Champions League game after complaining of a groin injury.
"I don't know [if it's a bad injury], I honestly don't know. I hope not. We will see tomorrow when we arrive in Shanghai how bad it is", Shanghai SIPG coach Sven-Göran Eriksson said after the match.

The man known for creating the nationally syndicated comic strip The Boondocks in the late 1990s also has his hands in a film being released this weekend. Aaron McGruder, the controversial man with wide-ranging opinions on a vast variety of subjects, co-wrote Red Tails.
The project, financed by filmmaker George Lucas, opened on Friday in theaters nationwide and chronicles the lives of Tuskegee Airmen, a group of black pilots placed in an experimental training program during World War II.
"About two years ago, I got a call from my agent asking if I wanted to meet with Lucas to talk about the script," McGruder told the Daily Beast. "I was like, 'Yes, I would!' I'm a Stars Wars guy and also the son of a military pilot, so it was the best of both worlds for me to do a project like this."
McGruder was said to be brought on by Lucas to add a fresher, more youthful take on the film.
"That was my biggest contribution to the project, making it more of an action-hero type film," McGruder told the Daily Beast. "I used my comic strip experience to make the script have a faster pace. There have been other movies on the Tuskegee Airmen, so I wanted to make sure the audience had a different view of these men … this film has something for older people who know the story, and younger people who aren't so familiar with the story and like action."
We urge everyone to go and support this film that George Lucas felt was an important enough story to tell, whether Hollywood backed it or not.

Tamron SP AF 10-24mm F3.5-4.5 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) review
|2 Previous
3 Test results
|4 Next
Studio Tests
The 10-24mm gives generally good, if not outstanding results; distortion is well controlled and central sharpness is high once stopped down F5.6, especially at 10mm. However sharpness wide open is distinctly low, and corners are soft at all settings. Our test sample also showed slight decentering, which was most visible at the 24mm setting with a rather soft right-hand side to the frame.
|Sharpness is generally poor wide open, and examination of the checkerboard crops shows low contrast due to halation effects (quite possibly a result of the slight decentering mentioned above). The lens improves dramatically on stopping down; central sharpness is extremely high at 10mm, but diminishes progressively at longer focal lengths; however the extreme corners remain soft at all settings. As expected for this type of lens, best results are obtained at F5.6-F11, with the optimum aperture being F8.
|Chromatic Aberration
|Chromatic aberration is kept reasonably low; fringing is visible at all focal lengths, but at levels no worse than those found on typical standard zooms. The CA profile at 10mm is rather complex with significant re-correction towards the corners (resulting in fringing which changes progressively from red/cyan, through green/magenta, to blue/yellow); this may well cause problems for software correction. However at longer focal lengths the pattern changes to red/cyan fringing with a simple linear profile, and therefore straightforward to correct in software.
|We consider falloff to start becoming a potential problem when the corner illumination falls to more than 1 stop below the center. The 10-24mm shows about 2 stops wide open at wideangle (with a slightly asymmetric pattern), but this decreases rapidly on stopping down, settling at 1.3 stops at F8 and smaller apertures. This will rarely be noticeable in real-world use, and usually swamped by natural lighting variations across such a wide field of view. At 13mm and longer, falloff is essentially a non-issue at any aperture.
|Distortion is kept impressively low throughout the range for such a wide angle lens; 1.1% barrel distortion at 10mm, increasing to a maximum of 1.6% at 13mm then decreasing again at longer focal lengths. In context, this is much lower than that usually seen at the wide end of typical standard zooms.
Macro Focus
|A wide angle zoom is unlikely to be your first port of call for macro work, but this lens doesn't do too badly anyway. Maximum magnification is 0.2x, achieved at 24mm and a closest focus distance of 24cm, giving a rather tight working distance of just 10cm from the subject to the front of the lens.
Image quality is actually pretty good; the image is soft wide open, but stop down to F8 and both central and corner sharpness is high. There' s noticeable barrel distortion, and a little blue/yellow chromatic aberration.
|Macro - 118 x 78 mm coverage
Distortion: Moderate barrel
Corner softness: Low
Focal length: 24mm (36 mm equiv)
FX (Full Frame) Coverage
Both the Nikon and Canon mount versions of this lens will mount on full-frame DSLRs; on Nikon cameras (D3, D3X, D700) DX crop mode will be automatically selected (and the camera will therefore shoot at reduced resolution). The lens's image circle obviously doesn't fully cover the 35mm full frame format at wideangle, but as is common for this type of lens, the vignetting progressively diminishes on zooming in, and coverage is essentially complete at focal lengths of 15mm and longer. We're not going to formally test a DX lens on full-frame, but impressions are that the lens would be quite useable in an emergency or for non-critical applications.
Specific image quality issues
As always, our studio tests are backed up by taking hundreds of photographs with the lens across a range of subjects, and examining them in detail. This allows us to confirm our studio observations, and identify any other issues which don't show up in the tests. The Tamron 10-24mm performed perfectly well in normal use, with no serious vices.
Control of flare is a critical feature of a superwide lens; with such a broad view of the world, bright light sources will find themselves in the frame on a regular basis. Overall the 10-24mm does pretty well in this regard, retaining contrast well in side- and back-lit conditions, even in the bright, low winter sun.
At its widest settings, the lens gives a signature red arc-shaped flare pattern when bright light sources are placed either in or just outside the frame; this progressively reduces in size and intensity on stopping down. The lens also deals rather well with strongly backlit situations at the long end of the zoom range (and therefore with the sun impinging directly on the front element); the sample below loses some contrast on the right hand side, and there is one small flare spot visible, but overall it's a pretty good result.

|24mm F6.3, strong backlight
Chromatic aberration
As we'd expect from a wideangle zoom, the 10-24mm suffers from its fair share of chromatic aberration, although no more than the typical DSLR kit lens. The samples and crops below give an idea of what to expect; at 16mm (around the point where CA is strongest) there's some fairly obvious red/cyan fringing. At the widest setting of 10mm, the fringing is changes in color across the frame; the selected crop shows a rather abrupt change from green/magenta to blue/yellow fringing in the extreme corners. The crops at the bottom show how effectively Nikon's in-camera CA correction on the D300 (also present on the D90) removes this fringing; this also gives an idea of how well software correction in post-processing is likely to work.

Corner Softness
Our studio tests reveal a certain propensity for soft corners, and the samples below illustrate how this looks in practice. The 100% crops come from the three regions outlined in red on the the thumbnail image.
At 10mm, central sharpness is impressively high, and detail continues to hold up well out to the location of the second crop shown below (approximately 55% along the image diagonal). Beyond this sharpness gradually drops towards the extreme corners, which are very soft indeed. The story at 24mm is slightly different; here the centre is not quite as good as at 10mm, and sharpness gradually declines across the frame, with the corners again extremely soft. (Our review sample also showed some asymmetry at 24mm, with the top right corner worst affected, showing extreme softness and ghosting as shown below).
|F8, Nikon D300

|100% crop, centre
|100% crop, centre
|100% crop, upper right
|100% crop, upper right
|100% crop, top right
|100% crop, top right
Overall this lens may not be the best choice if you demand the extreme corners to be perfectly sharp, but it is also worth bearing in mind that just a slight crop will remove the most obviously soft regions.
Softness wide open
The second clear issue identified in our chart tests is softness wide open. This turns out to be a case of extremely low local contrast due to halation, with fine detail still being recorded. The crops below show this clearly, with two images taken seconds apart with the lens wide open at F3.8, then stopped down to F8. The 100% crop from the centre of the frame looks somewhat 'hazy' at F3.8, and the loss of contrast on the underside of the bridge walkways (on the left side of the crop) is very obvious. The 10-24mm is therefore best shot stopped down to at least F5.6 whenever possible; however as it's the kind of lens you'll probably be shooting at F8 anyway, this isn't really a significant problem in actual use. Afflicted images can also be 'rescued' to some extent by the application of a broad radius unsharp mask; amount = 10, radius = 50, threshold = 0 or similar. (It's also quite possible that this is to some extent a sample-specific issue, resulting from the decentering observed in our studio tests.)

Review for American Drum Line Association, Corona, CA, USA
This is a extremely beneficial organization as it supports music education in our schools. With the continuing cutbacks, music and other arts are suffering. The American Drum Line Association has provided fund-raising opportunities for schools through well organized, well run, competitive events for over 28 years. Member groups can compete at one or more of the 10 Divisions offered. This organization also supports community groups and is one of the few to offer programs for Junior and Middle Schools.

Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW - Free Report) recently reclassified its historical results giving effect to discontinued operations and announced the impact of its share repurchase activity. The company consummated the repurchase of $550 million or 9.7 million shares in the second quarter 2011, favorably impacting fiscal year 2011 earnings per share by 5 cents.
Per a definitive agreement entered into in April 2011, Illinois Tools will divest its finishing group businesses to Graco Inc. The finishing group generated revenue of $305 million in 2010.
In addition, the company also endorsed plans to sell its consumer packaging and electronics businesses which fetched combined revenue of $100 million in 2010. The company has reclassified the results of these two businesses along with two other businesses exited earlier to discontinued operations.
Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2011 were revised from $1.24 (previously reported) to $1.21, after adjusting 3 cents for discontinued operations. Similarly, the results for the first quarter of 2010 were revised from 66 cents to 64 cents.
Generally, taking into account the impact of reclassification and the share repurchase activity, the company anticipates its EPS from continuing operations to be in a range of $0.95-1.01 for the second quarter 2011 and $4.08-$4.26 for the fiscal year 2011, based on a revenue growth assumption of 17%-20% and 16%-18%, respectively.
Excluding the reclassification for discontinued operations and share repurchase, EPS is likely to be in a range of $0.99-$1.05 for the second quarter and in the $4.16-$4.34 range for the fiscal year 2011.
The company is expected to release its second quarter financial results on July 18, 2011.
Illinois Tool Works is one of the leading manufacturers of industrial products and equipment. The company's prime competitors include the likes of Cooper Industries plc , General Electric Co. (GE - Free Report) , and Manitowoc Co. Inc. (MTW - Free Report) . We currently maintain our Outperform recommendation on the stock.

It happens. A very large percentage of life science teachers are creationists. In Minnesota, and Minnesota is not that unusual, about half the population or more are creationists, but among life science teachers, that number is reduced by almost one half. In other words, one in three life science teachers are creationists, although most, one would hope, only barely so.
This does not mean that creationism is being taught in the classroom. Some, perhaps many, life science teachers who are creationists know to not teach creationism in the classroom. But I find it difficult to believe that their creationism does not affect their teaching, at the very least by reducing the emphasis they place on the mortar that holds all the bricks of life science together: Evolutionary theory itself.
Dale McGowan, of The Meming of LIfe blog (a secular parenting blog) has a son who suddenly finds himself in the classroom of a creationistic physical science teacher. (See: Science, interrupted). McGowan addressed this problem by writing a letter to the teacher. I like the letter, and I'm sure Dale will handle this very well, but I don't recommend this approach. Dale's letter is passive aggressive. Dale knows what the teacher is up to … indoctrinating the students into a mode in which when they encounter evidence for evolution they simply won't accept it (read the posts to see the details) but the letter simply asks tough and well worded questions about what Dale's child claims the teacher said in class.
You can't win that kind of discussion. The teacher can (and I'm certain will) explain how the student misunderstood, how since the class is not really about evolution, this is not the emphasis, and will likely otherwise nitpick. In the end, the conversation among Dale, his son, this teacher, and one or more school administrators may look something like the history of the Evolution-Creationism 'debate' rather than what it should look like: A decisive take-down of a creationist teacher who is in violation of the law.
The teacher is doing something wrong, got caught, and it is perfectly reasonable for the parent, in a more or less irate manner but hopefully reasonably professionally, approaches the school administration (having first contacted, in person, someone at the National Center for Science Education) directly and issues a firm, clear, no-nonsense complaint.
There is also a discussion of this particular case going on at The Panda's Thumb, and you should look at it. And, if you have any experiences yourself dealing with creationist teachers, please let us know.

For more than 10 years, American artist Ra Paulette treks a mile by himself to the sandstone mesas of northern New Mexico. Day by day, he patiently chipped and scraped away the walls of these sandstone caverns to produce a sculpted masterpiece of interlocking caverns.
Illuminated only by light tunnels in the ceilings, each chamber possesses its own unique qualities. Although the designs cannot really be likened to any one specific style, each space exhibits a mastery of textures brought to life by light, each creating their own feeling. When complete, the caves will become a venue for artistic events and personal discovery.

I have upgraded to the 2.6 ghz from 1.7 ghz on my Dim 4400 system, and you might see some improvement with games with the cpu upgrade, but a better video card will also be required. Our FSB of 400 is holding us back. Or better yet. The newer Conroe chip is coming sometime in July/Aug/Sept time frame, and that will somewhat beat out AMDs cpu, and saving for something like a new system would be the best advise and not waste money on an upgrade that you will not get the full benefits the games require.
If you are not planning a new system, than the 2.6 ghz cpu and a video card in the range of the 6600 GT AGP version will help, but not with all the eye candy on. Again, our systems will only handle mid level settings on the newer games, and it will only get worse.

Keep the same heatsink, and fan, and if you wish as I did the heat pad.

I upgraded the Bios, but this was done before I thought of the cpu upgrade, so not sure if its really needs to be done or not, but easy to do
Thanks James, This info is invaluable and should help me a lot. However,I am now told by the people that are trying to sell me upgrade chips that I can simply plug in any CPU based on the 400fsb family without the need to change any bios settings and that upgrades ranging from 1.7ghz up to 2.8ghz will work without any hassles. Who do I believe ?
Thanks James, I really appreciate your help. Knowing I can upgrade without hassles and having it confirmed gives me the confidence to go ahead and upgrade. Thanks to all who helped me. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. There's a lot of people out there who don't have the bucks to spend on a complete new system and have no alternative but to try upgrades and tweeks on their old PC's just to keep them functional.
