DVDs don't use square pixels so the resizing is normal when playing DVDs, only players might only report the resolution, not the aspect ratio. I don't know what VLC reports. MPC-HC shows both like this: 720x480 (16:9).
When you encode using Handbrake with the Anamorphic option set to anything but "none", Handbrake will set the resizing to be done on playback as per your example. With Anamorphic set to "none" it'll resize to square pixels when encodong, so the display aspect ratio and the resolution will be the same. Keep in mind though, not all hardware players support anamorphic MKV/MP4 files, so make sure your player displays them correctly before using anamorphic encoding, otherwise disable it and resize to square pixels.
I've never used AviDemux either so I can't help there, but most GUIs which can set aspect ratios on playback have an "anamorphic" option. Or look for something like "keep aspect ratio". Assuming AviDexmux can encode that way..... I'd guess it can but some older GUIs always resize to square pixels, or the anamorphic option may only be available for certain output formats.
Well it looks like Avidemux makes you calculate the pixel aspect ratio using the resolution and display aspect ratio, then enter it manually. Assuming this is up to date. Scroll down to Pixel Aspect Ratio. http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=tutorial:h.264

Allen B.wrote a review of Giro Remedy Helmet on December 16, 2011
protected my head
my head size is around 58-59 so I was right on the border of M or L size. I went with a M and it was too tight. Returned it for an L and it was looser but not too jiggly. the remedy protected my noggin from a major crash that cracked it but not my skull. I had a concussion, pulled my shoulder, and apparently knocked out for a bit. whee! good helmet. a bit heavy but I'd carry the weight if I know the protection is there.

Terrific Italian EDC
Eric J.
This Viper thumb hole works allows incredibly easy opening, by pushing or flicking the top of the oval hole forward, and the 5.5 oz light weight and meticulous construction makes this a winner for any collection. Very similar blade shape to LionSpy, except this blade is smaller. Simply sweet. Enjoy.

Discussion in 'US Coins Forum' started by LostDutchman, Aug 10, 2012.
This guy is going in this coming week... anyone wanna take a crack at what it will grade?
Log in or Sign up to hide this ad.
66 pl
Ms 65 Star
I'm not good at grading these. But I would say MS 66 on up, I think it's a PL as well. Very nice coin.
I can't fully tell from the photograph but i was going to say say 65. I started at 64 and climbed up. It is a great strike. Is it proof? It has the rub marks on the high points of the cap ect, and I can't figure out what all that noise in in the fields. The strike is perfect... so I bumped it up to a 65, assuming the fields noise in only in the photograph and there are no bag marks to speak of, just the rub marks.
A little nick on her rim. I like her at MS65PL.
Interesting. I didn't see that on the reverse but I haven't changed my mind.
I would say 65pl as well
I'm at MS65PL the frost break on the cheek is the main distraction to my eye.
65n1.. pl... nice coin.
My grade I'm torn between 64PL and 65PL. I don't like the frost break on the cheek or the obv and rev rim dings. And the rims seem to have a lot of light chatter. For an '80-S, think I'd have to stick at 64PL, but a high end one.
NGC - who knows. I expect they'll say at least 65PL but 66PL sure won't surprise me. Honestly don't believe the coin deserves it though.
Thinking 64PL, with the cheek break and some chatter on the reverse fields, nice coin overall!
64* or 65. I'd love to be able see it in hand to see how PL it is. Its frosty but does it reflect is the question.
64 PL. I don't like the mark on her chin, or it would be an easy 65/66.
while the slight mark on he cheek does not help the grade by any means, this is still a amazing coin. I would give it a MS-65PL to MS-66PL. The strike and overall great details, few and minor nicks and the 'wow' factor propel this Morgan into the MS-65+ range (for comparison, my avatar coin is a MS-66 )
I believe that 1880-S have good strikes, although I could be wrong.
Ms65 pl
I say NGC will give it a 66, I give it a 65 . At minimum it will get pl with a *
That's also a big reason. Think "eye movement through the coin." The engraver was controlling that through his use of detail and depth. Where he chose to put that detail and depth is where your eye always comes back to. That graze distorts that intended eye movement through that coin just enough to meaningfully affect the grade. Your eye isn't supposed to be coming back to the chin but with that graze on that coin it is. Why is that meaningful? It's meaningful because, surprisingly or not, the way your eye moves through a coin is the chief determinant of how you feel about that coin.
Am I going too fast for you boys and girls? :smile
PS: And that's true of any artwork...

Do Your Very Best - Poem by Emmanuel Oduro
In everything
At every time
At everywhere
Just do your very best.
The very best you can.
This means going that extra mile
Putting in exciting efforts with a smile
Tackling all tasks as if, at stake, is one's life
Confronting all chores with compelling commitment
That is doing the very best you can.
Doing your best is a duty
To your self it is a calling
To your family that is a passion
But more importantly,
To God that is an obligation
His ways and deeds are perfect
And He demands, of you, nothing less
Doing your best
Satisfies your conscience
Frees you from condemnation
Enables you to walk shoulder high
Gives you pride and confidence
For you have stanchly served
You have given your best
Doing your best
May not always result in success
But one thing is crystal clear
Failure-marginally of miserably,
Doing your best
Makes you a vindicated victim
Qualifying you to be acclaimed
As gracious and gallant in defeat
So in all things
Leave your footprint on the sand of time
By doing your very best.

Here we examine a major scandal and Arbcom case, and a major embarrassment for Wikipedia, which transpired in August-September 2007. It is almost forgotten today.

It's twice the Van Dammage, but how much of the Van Damme? Jean-Claude Van Damme fans are no doubt hoping that their favoritest Muscles from Brussels will land at least a cameo in either a remake of Relativity's "Bloodsport" or Radar Pictures' "Kickboxer".
Until we find out for sure, though, fans will just have to make due with this news that both pictures have now secured directors, with Chinese actor-turned-director Stephen Fung landing the directing gig for "Kickboxer", while Aussie James McTeigue will helm "Bloodsport".
McTeigue is known primarily as the director of "V for Vendetta", but he also directed the excellent "Ninja Assassin" and more recently, the less-than-excellent "The Raven". He'll direct the remake of "Bloodsport", which in the 1988 original found Van Damme playing an American Army officer named Frank Dux, who enters an underground Hong Kong tournament known as the Kumite and fights Bolo Yeung.
The original has the distinction of being Van Damme's first major film as a leading man, after a role as the bad guy in 1986's silly "No Retreat, No Surrender". "Bloodsport" also gave us this crazy display of acting that will continue to live on well after he's retired from doing splits on the big screen:
Awesomest moment EVER.
Unlike the original, though, the remake of "Bloodsport", based on a script by "Taken's" Robert Mark Kamen, will focus "on the morally-conflicted life of 21st century mercenaries who clash with the underground world of Brazilian Vale Tudo".
Meanwhile, Fung is coming off his "Tai Chi" double films, "Tai Chi Zero" and its sequel, "Tai Chi Hero". Those films proved that he can direct big-budget actioners, so doing a remake of "Kickboxer" probably isn't that big of a deal for him.
"Kickboxer", another one of Van Damme's earlier hits, starred the Muscles from Brussels as "a cornerman who trains in Muay Thai to avenge his brother's crippling at the hands of a brutal Thai kickboxing champ".
Van Damme followed "Bloodsport" up with "Kickboxer". The Thailand-set movie also gave us this truly inspiring scene:
Of the two films, a remake of "Bloodsport" has been in the works for a while, but "Kickboxer" is eyeing a late Fall or early 2014 start date.

Nondisclosure Agreement And Intellectual Property
by Alexander Gordon
Modern age companies, unlike the traditional firms, are spending colossal amount of resources in two key areas i.e. a) undertaking research and b) training manpower. These resources contribute to firm's hard earned intellectual property pool. Another key distinction among the firms of then and now is the growing decentralization wherein firms are no longer trying to stay in a cocoon and avoid any outsiders. This era is marked by growth through expansion and external investment. However any such growth or transition not only implies external investment but also is indicative of involvement of more players, of which many could not be trustworthy. But to succeed it is imperative to open out. Than what is the way out to prevent miss-use of such information spread among associates, colleagues and employees?
Enables Spread of Information in the Desired Form: A nondisclosure agreement with the information sharers proves to be a handy tool in such situations. This vital instrument helps prevention of flow of key research outputs and other such information to any undesired sources, while at the same time keeping the requisite details available for all concerned. Such an understanding among associates not only substantiates as a legal document in any eventual legal proceedings but the only existence of the same de-motivates all concerned to take any action against the company's interest.
Keeps a Check on Competition: A nondisclosure agreement therefore acts as a preventive tool and at the same time curbs internal competition by preventing those involved from opening up their own individual initiatives in the same field of work in a specified area for a particular period. This is your information and therefore does not deserve to be used by others for personal use.
Acts As an Employee Retention Tool: A clearly defined nondisclosure agreement between the employer and employees also acts as an important instrument against increasing instances of employee fraud. A limiting factor, which discourages employee to join direct competition for better packages, is like magical wand to the disturbed employees who spend enormous amounts just to recruit, train and retain employees. Nobody wants to be training school, especially for competition, than why not prevent loss of such crucial intellectual property resources.
Various Non- Disclosure Agreements (NDA) are posted online and cane be referred to for making an NDA. However to ascertain if the same fulfills the desired guidelines and covers the loopholes depending upon the company's functioning within the legal framework it is advised to get the same made form the professional. This would though entail a one time fee, yet this cost could save those enormous losses arising out of miss-management on account of information and resources i.e. company's valuable intellectual property.

I've just returned from a 10 day trip to Los Angeles and Las Vegas (I won a prize actually with flights and accommodation in Los Angeles as prize package - we extended this to include 4 nights in Las Vegas). I travelled with my two sons and the partner of one son - so two gals and two guys!
We did the typical touristy things such as Universal Studios, Disneyland, Hollywood Blvd even a Movie Stars Homes Tour. We were very impressed with Universal as we'd paid a little extra to get the Top of the Line pass, which not only got us to the top of the line it also allowed us to remain after the shows - WaterWorld and Terminator and meet the cast, ask questions, photos etc. We enjoyed Disneyland and had our photo taken with Mickey Mouse - my boys are 24 and 22 years - but I told him it was better late than never.
We hired a car on day two and drove to Disneyland - with the GPS it was dead easy. Traffic was flowing going and coming home and we experienced no problems. American drivers are extremely polite and courteous. My eldest son did all the driving and I was a little worried about driving on the other side of the road but as he does stunt driving for a living I needn't have worried at all.
We drove out to Las Vegas and again had an easy run. On a recommendation from a fellow Fodorite we stayed at Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon. This was a great recommendation and we were very happy with the hotel rooms. They were actually quite large and roomy and had been renovated 3 years ago - so reasonably modern. I too, wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel as it's location is fantastic - opposite Caesar's and diagonally opposite The Bellagio. You felt like you were right in the middle of things.
We enjoyed Vegas but a couple of observations - we were stunned that you can drink alcohol whilst walking down the street - especially drinks in bottles!!! Man you just couldn't do that anywhere here in Australia. However, everyone was very well behaved with it all so we had no problems it was just interesting that's all.
Another thing was smoking in the casinos etc. We really struggled with that and at times we'd just have to go out for fresh air. We have very tough smoking laws here and you can't even smoke at an El Fresco restaurant any longer. They are even talking about (if they haven't already done so) about banning smoking on the beaches. Again, not a real biggie but an observation.
We had a ball at the outlet centres in Vegas. Clothes in the US are incredibly cheap by our standards - INCREDIBLY!!! So we were able to get brands like DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Converse, Levi's for up to about 70% cheaper I would estimate. Even Napoleon Perdis make up which is Australian was cheaper e.g. an eyeshadow compact retails here for about $60 we got for $28!! Figure that out!
We drove out to Hoover Dam and the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon - we really enjoyed learning all about the Dam - it was extremely interesting and I have previously seen the other end of the Grand Canyon but was happy with what we saw. However, the drive back to Vegas was horrendous - it took us 2 hours to travel 3 miles as they were doing security checks heading back to Hoover Dam. When we got to the check point there were two security guards, asked us to wind down the back window, shone a torch in the car and told us to move on. They wouldn't have known what we had in the car - and I do understand your need for national security but well....it was very frustrating.
We also saw the Cirque de Soleil show "O" and we very impressed - absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it. My eldest son had some friends come and meet us in Vegas - one is an upcoming hopeful movie star and the other is a stunt man whom he works with so we had a wonderful night with them. We could have easily spent another night in Vegas and were disappointed we had to go back as we girls hadn't done anywhere near enough shopping.
But the drive back to LA was very good - we really didn't have trouble with traffic - and things flowed pretty well.
The level of service provided in the retail and service industries is extremely high - probably the best I've ever had. It was wonderful to be treated so well just about everywhere we went. Very impressed. A lot of our meals seemed like they were on the run so to speak and we didn't do any fine dining - we enjoyed breakfast such as pancakes with hash browns and bacon. I really did miss my food though - since my weight loss I realise I've become somewhat addicted to fresh and healthy but all's good I've had all my favourite meals since my return.
Oh I did have my Red Velvet Cake at Sweet Lady Janes - another recommendation - and enjoyed it very much - it is very sweet though isn't it?
Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions for this trip e.g. hiring a car to drive to Disneyland and the hotel recommendation etc. We all had a lot of fun together and came away from America with wonderful memories and we'd all love to go back again sometime soon.

Thanks for the trip report stormbird, so glad you had a good time! I enjoyed your observations. There are some states that have passed no smoking bans but not all. In our country, you absolutely cannot drink and drive, or even have an open bottle in the car (if it's open, you have to put it in the trunk) but many times in many states I have taken a cocktail as we walked the streets and took in the sights.

<<<but many times in many states I have taken a cocktail as we walked the streets and took in the sights.>>>
As far as I know, Las Vegas and New Orleans (?) are the only places you can do this legally, so I'd be curious to know where cd did this. Most places, if you have an outdoor patio and a liquor license, you have to have a "fence" around the patio to keep the drinkers "in". Just wondering.
Report Abuse
stormbird, thanks for your report. I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your time in LA & Vegas.
Report Abuse
sf, maybe legally is the operative word although no one has ever stopped me. We were boaters and many places we docked, we would take a beer or wine in a disposable cup and take off. Then in places like Key West when we would have a b&b downtown, we would take a drink, again in a disposable cup, and be off. Maybe because no one knew what was in the disposable, but no one has ever said anything to us. I've really never given it a thought.
Report Abuse
We also saw two men in a casino drinking spirits straight out of the bottle - one had what looked like a scotch bottle and the other had perhaps vodka/gin. That really blew us away.

Glad you had a great trip and also glad that our apparently less-than-great-and-REJECTED-by-all-those-with "taste" HERSHEY's chocolate tasted good...we LOVE it.

I am glad too that you like our Hershey's chocolate. I love it and find it far superior to any foreign chocolate. Next time you are in CA, try out some See's Candy.
Also, thank you for a great trip report!!

Congratulations on winning the trip! Glad you enjoyed it trip stormbird.
It's always surprising when I go to one of those places where people smoke indoors. We are very strict about smoking in California, except people can do it in casinos.
Did you find that most of our desserts are comparatively sweet? Or just the red velvet cake?
Report Abuse
Hi Lsky - really the red velvet cake was the only dessert I had. So can't compare. Oh but I had two milkshakes - one at a Johnny Rockets (?) on Melrose and one at the Flamingo in Vegas - and they were delicious. I loooove milkshakes and they have been sacrificed during the last year whilst dieting - so for me they were the 'lash out' of the trip. MMm just thinking about them now - they were really good.
I've taken the Hershey kisses to the office and of course they are all gone now!!! I think your chocolate is slightly bitter compared to ours. I believe, but am not sure, that because of our climate - the heat - we have more preservatives in our chocolate here and I think it is far sweeter than most.
Report Abuse
I really enjoyed your report, including the odd stuff about people walking down the streets carrying drinks, esp. in bottles. I can't imagine anyone doing that it my town, at least in daytime, when they could get caught. I'm always pleased when I hear that visitors were treated well and that service was good.
We have strict anti-smoking laws in Washington State too. I haven't been into a casino, so I don't know about them, but in most public buildings, restaurants, offices, etc., you can't even smoke within 25 feet of the doors to the building.
I prefer the chocolate I get in America to that I've had from various other countries. I can't imagine why people would prefer the chocolate I've tasted in Europe to a good old Hershey's with almonds or Hershey kisses. Of course, I really like Godiva chocolate, but it's quite expensive. Yum, I'd love to have some, but I've been dieting since December, and I can't have any.
I can sympathize with your frustration with the security at Hoover Dam, but I imagine the dam would be a luscious target for terrorists. I live near Grand Coulee Dam. I expect security would be tight there also.
It was fun reading your report.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
For my personal view of Luka, I took a look at many other cosplayers' interpretations, and of all of them, I decided I best liked the halter-style dress, with a triple-layered, ruffled skirt. To make this dress, I'm combining two different patterns, which you can see in my first progress picture, on the right. They are New Look's #6557 for the top, and Kwik Sew's #3783 for the ruffled skirt. As far as modifications, there's very little to do. I have to add the shoulder bow, and incorporate the white waistband. For the ruffles, I've seen versions either made of all fabric, or with lace trim on each layer. I've decided to only put lace trim on the middle layer of ruffles, as I believe it'll look very cute. For fabrics, I'm using a black polyester with a "wrinkled finish for the primary, and a white crepe satin for the white waistband. To have corresponding costumes, my partner, Kumiko, and I have bought identical lace to apply to our waistbands and dresses. Currently, I've completed the top of the dress, and I am currently working on the skirt and its ruffles. It's an interesting learning process, as I've never done ruffles in the correct manner before, so I hope it turns out pretty. All-in all, I think the top looks very good, right now. You can;t see it in this picture, but I've also added the bow to the neck, and it can move around to either shoulder, along the neckline of the top. You won't see the white waistband for a while, though, as I'm making the dress to work as a stand-alone cocktail dress, as well. 01-11-11 Update: Awesome! The entire basic dress is constructed, and only in need of a zipper, now! The skirt finishes just above the knees, as I wanted. I am a little concerned about where the middle ruffle sits, with the added length of the lace, but overall, I think it's perfect! Finishing it this much has me really excited, and pretty soon I'll be going to Denver to buy the rest of the fabrics I need- not to mention get started on Saber Lily! I've already ordered the boots and gloves for this costume, and soon I'll be ordering the wig an headphones, too. The next sewing step after this is to make the white waistband, and its bow. This is gonna be an awesome shoot! 01-23-11 Update: Back again, with more progress pictures and another update!So, the black dress is complete, gloves are here, and the wig, shoes, and headphones are on their way! Currently, I'm working on the white waist band and its bow, and I think you'll like the design I've come up with! You can see above the waistband's design, which is the recurring theme throughout the bow- the exception being the tails. But, basically, you have two different types of lace on top and bottom. As you can see, the width is 4 inches, skinnier than I expected to make it, but it works just great. Now, for the bow, most people do a giant bow, with the lace just edging it- but not me! Check out this double-bow design I'm doing! I've taken two lengths of the lace-trimmed satin, made them individual bows, then skooshed them together to form a super-nifty double-bow! The finer lace is centered, and on top will sit a solid black bow, as a contrast. To get the main bow of the right stiffness, but still keeping the needed shape, I've used a patented method of my own, that I came upon completely by accident. The first time I tried making a bow like this, I used poster board as an experimental stiffening material. Needless to say, it wasn't very cooperative.Then, I accidentally spilled tea on the bow- poster board and all, and so to get the stain out, I soaked the entire thing in hot water. Naturally, the poster board was "ruined" by then, and as an attempt to salvage it, I tried making the bow dry in the needed shape. Well, to my surprise, it actually worked. In fact, it better than worked!The wet poster board took the desired shape incredibly well. Not only that, but because I shaped it when it was wet, there were no unsightly tears or funny folds, and when it dried, it had the exact sort of stiffness it had had as a just-bought piece of poster board! I've used this method twice, since then, and it has as-yet to fail me! Maybe I should name it, or something... Finally, for the bow tails, I didn't have enough lace to continue with pattern I'd been using, so this time I conformed to everyone else, and just trimmed the very ends of the tails. However, as you can see in the picture below, I had to do some modification to the lace, to make it lay as I wanted. That was some of the most delicate stitch work I've ever done, let me tell you! But, the end result is definitely worth it, as you'll eventually see!
- Personal Thoughts:
- Honestly, I love the creative freedom of this costume- and the fact that I can wear it as a cocktail dress, as well!

The now catb prescribed reads as

The foregoing is tho new test oath,

The only objection really to tho oath
urged by its opponents was that it
pn's upon thopeoplo of the Statoun

oath but what every man now has to
swear whon ho takes an oath of office
Of courso wo think it unconstitution

thbt one only shall bu required to swear
to support tho Constitution of the U

proceedings of tho Logidlature, knows
that the Senate disposed of the Ash
land contested election caso with in
decent hast, when Mr. Kenny was
voted out of his scat; and that the
House proceeded with still moro in
decut haste in tho caso of Mr. Lar
will, as well as in that of Mr, iluff
ett. Availing thortuolves of their
constitutional right, the Democratic
members of tho House protested
against the action of that body in tho
Ashland caso, on account of the in
decent haste with which it was dis
posed o f, ai wall as for othor
reasons; and had tho protest entered
upon the journal.
This protest contains truths the
record of which tho majority is un
willing to purpettiate. So Mr. Stan
ton, of Hamilton, who has dona that
kind of work bofore, was put forward
on Thursday P. M., to offer a pream
bio and resolution, directing tho clerk
to expunge tho protest! Thereop
on, a discussion was had, which oc
cupied the wh'jlo afternoon. The
Democratic members did themselves
great credit in this debate, driving
tho Republican members completely
to the wall. Messrd. Dresel, Mayo,
Bratton, Olds, Uhl, spoke most ably
and effoctively for the Constitution
and the right : and Messrs Delano,
Allison, and S'ahtou, spoke for the
mnjor ty, in favor of disregarding and
trampling upon a constitutional right
belonging to tho minority.

The Overthrow of the Constitution
In thu late debato on tho so-called
Confiscation or Plunder Bill, in the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington, Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, of
Pennsylvania, the Administration
leader in that body, Baid, in reply to
those who showed that the proposed
measure was an open and flagrant
violation violation of the Constitu
tion :
'That the Constitution has not the
least reference to anv of the provisi
ons ofthe nendine: resolution. The
forfeiture of estate in fee was purely
a proceeding under the laws of war
and of uations. over which the Con
stitution has no control br effect what
ever. Ihe property oi aiieu euemies
is to be seized and treated a? enemy's
property. The rebels bad risen to a
separate Goveromei.t, having been
recognized as a belligerent, not only
by joreign natious, but by our own.
So far as they are concerned, they are
absolved from the guarantees of the
Constitution, whichever nation con
quers naa a rigut to treat me oiner as
a conquered province, iney are iu
tho att'tnde of foreign nations." These
points ho illustrated : "If a State, as
a State, make war and become a bel
ligerent power, we can, when we con
qner it, treat it as we would any other
foreign nation. And this is not t
question under, but outside of the
Constitution. By the laws of war the
conqucrer may seize and convert to
his own use every thing belonging to
the enemy, and sell it to pay the ex
penses of war and the damages occas
ioned by it. As the Confederate
States have voluntarily thrown them
selves out of tho provisions of the
Constitution, and placed themselves
under tho laws of nations, it is our
duty to knock off every shackle from
every limb. Tho cry for tho Union
as it was and iho Constitution as it is
now but an attempt to perpetuato
slavory. May the God of justice
paralyze all such efforts."
That is the viow taken by the Ad
ministration of the war and tho Con
stitution. They openly repudiate the
latter in their conduct of the former.
Tho revolution in our Government is
complete when tho fundamental law
ofthe Republic is thus trampled under
foot. For tho Constitution, Mr. Stuv.
one and the Administration substitute
a military despotism I Wo are to rule
tho boutu as conquered provinces
rolo thorn by force adopt toward
tlieiu tbe same attitude tbiu Kuosia
sustains to Poland, or Austria to
Venetia. They are to have no guar
antee for their liberties for the en
joyment of their rights of persons and
proporty, except at tbe ploaanre ot the
Government Already the Adminis
t rat ion in Louisiana and Arkansas
has commenced to rive practical
weight to this doctrine by sotting np
bogus governments not founded upon
tho will of tho peophv under the re
forms ofthe Constitution, but organ
izeO and sustained entirely by outside
Gin. Enq.
CpFor the one hundredth titno the
Administration organs assure the poo
pie that, although they havo often
been decoivod by tbe same promise,
tho South can only hold out a fow
months longor, sod that tho rebellion
is on its last logs. Sensible mon,
all parties, know bettor know that
wo have long and severe fighting be

allow their nodes and feelings to bund

KV IndyCar to adopt traditional Lotus livery
13 March 2010 – IndyCar Series team KV Racing Technology has announced that a technical partnership with the Lotus Group will see its car of Takuma Sato run in the company's legendary yellow and British racing green colour scheme from this season's second race in St. Petersburg.
With the Lotus name having returned to Formula 1 this year for the first time since 1994, its livery will also be making an appearance on the other side of the pond as ex F1 driver Sato sports the iconic colours in IndyCars.
"Racing has always defined Lotus and on many occasions in motorsport history Lotus' numerous innovations have re-defined racing," commented Dany Bahar, CEO of Group Lotus.
"It's only fitting that, as the Lotus Racing name re-enters Formula 1, we will also race and innovate again in IndyCar. The Lotus name will once again compete in the top two open-wheel racing series for the passion and enthusiasm of car fans around the globe."

LPL is heading down a paperless path, cue tree hugger applause.
LPL Financial LLC today announced the availability of electronic sig
That means DocuSign's eSignature technology is now available across LPL Financial's BranchNet technology platform and is just one part of improved workflow processes being rolled out at the firm.
Importantly, that technology will be available at no additional cost to advisers or their clients.
I should also point out what might otherwise be overlooked by the uninitiated or relegated to the fine print dustbin by those in the know: As most advisers will be aware LPL Financial LLC is the independent broker-dealer but the e-sig
In a nutshell DocuSign's eSignature system will be employed to do away with as much paper as possible and begin the process of streamlining document processing and, of course, "to enhance the client experience" as was pointed out in LPL's prepared statement today.
I had a chance to speak with Christopher Giles, senior vice president of advisor-facing technology at LPL Financial Monday afternoon.
"This is an integral part of a workflow not just introduction of e-sig
Prior to speaking with Mr. Giles I was rather skeptical of the announcement when viewed on paper (well my screen actually).
After all, I have now reported on numerous bits of news related to document management implementations in financial services; these date back to 2007 for me alone. In fact among them are several announcements specifically related to DocuSign eSignature technology.
All four of the largest custodians, most recently Schwab a few weeks ago, have announced partnerships with the company and integrations of its technology.
And I have also followed rollouts at other broker-dealers of not only DocuSign technology but that of competitors too.
So I asked Mr. Giles: What differentiates LPL's project?
"If [documents] are signed in near real time that completed and signed form will be available within an hour typically," he said, adding that this specifically refers to clients whose assets are also being held on LPL's custodial platform.
"This improves the client experience as well because they are taken out of the back and forth of e-mailing," Mr. Giles added.
Principally, the announcement and the technology therein will help in the streamlining of LPL's account-opening processes but should also shorten turnaround time of documents that have been submitted.
That in turn raises the potential for eliminating traditional paper mailings or faxes (LPL still receives four million of the latter a year; that is your fun fact for the day).
Another facet is represented by the guts of the technology which provides the ability to automate the routing and tracking e-documents, even to multiple signers and makes it easy to set up things like reminder e-mails for those pesky documents that have gone unsigned.
Yet another improvement over some of those first announcements I covered — multiple electronic ways of signing. Early iterations, no matter the provider in question, tended to rely on electronic sig
DocuSign's relationship with LPL allows for three different sig
"A lot of our efforts are not just focused on delivering the technology but also extracting the value of it, this should help drive best practices to reduce the use of paper and save a tree here and there," Mr. Giles said.
My final question was if and how he saw this being meshed with various other developments, including integrations with the various other approved applications and applications forming the core of BranchNet, including CRM systems.
"This is absolutely part of our roadmap to see how this fits into to the workflows of other systems including CRM, it is part of a continued evolution," he said.
The eSignature features have been available to advisers for a few weeks prior to today's official announcement and already in that time 5,000 advisers have begun accessing or using it according to Mr. Giles.

The star took home the coveted prize which was voted for by country music fans for the first time at this year's (08) 43rd ceremony.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- New York police said a Brooklyn senior center and synagogue was vandalized with a spray-painted swastika and an anti-Semitic message.
Rabbi Aron Heineman, executive director of the Brookdale Senior Citizen Center, said he discovered the 3-foot-tall Nazi symbol and anti-Semitic message early Tuesday morning, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
"This is a huge swastika," said state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn. "It's not a little thing. It really stands out."
"This is a community of Holocaust survivors," said Hikind. "It makes you wonder what is going; this sickness."
The New York Police Department hate crimes task force is investigating the vandalism.
Hikind told the New York Post that swastikas were also found painted on a home Monday on 40th Street between 15th and 16th avenues.

"Well, I gave Jennifer a call. I said, 'I have a great role for you in a film called 'Parker.' So she knew she didn't have the lead!"
That was director Taylor Hackford at the Museum of Modern Art last week, speaking prior to the screening of his new film. It's true that Miss Jennifer Lopez is not exactly the lead in this action flick, but she has plenty to do. As for acting choice, Lopez made the right one, I think.
"Parker" stars Jason Statham and is based on the many thrillers featuring this deadly hero, written by the late Donald E. Westlake (under the name Richard Stark.) This is not the first movie to star Parker, but it is the first to use the character's name in its title. In the books, he is never given a full name — just "Parker."
Mr. Westlake's widow, Abby, was among the MOMA audience that braved sub-freezing temperatures to enjoy the fast-paced violence and wry one-liners spat out by Statham and others. (If the film is successful, there is a franchise in the making.)
Hackford — who just happens to be married to the divine actress and star Helen Mirren — said his latest movie is "an unapologetic gangster/action/thriller. And I love those films!" He surely must. This is the slam-bang epitome of the genre. And it is the kind of movie for which former martial arts trainer/swimmer/model Statham has become famous. He is grim, deadly and forever sporting a three-day stubble.
Aside from Jason and Jennifer, "Parker" also features Bobby Cannavale, Michael Chiklis, Nick Nolte, newcomers Emma Booth and Micah A. Hauptman and — playing Jennifer's hilarious mother — Broadway star Patti LuPone. Hackford described Patti as "The diva of divas. Not because she was difficult, but because of her talent." LuPone took a glamorous bow from the audience, wearing chic black, swathed in beige fur, matching her beige spike heels. (Jason and Jennifer appeared briefly near the podium, where Hackford was speaking. They both looked like real glittery movie stars.)
"Parker" opened Friday. The reviews are out now. Most were far from kind.
I can't predict the box office, but let me assure you, the screening audience was vociferous in its approval. Lots of laughs, lots of gasps, plenty of applause and quite a bit of cringing, at the violence — it's unashamedly gory. It was Lopez who received the most approving reaction. She plays a frustrated, debt-ridden divorcee looking for a way out of her dead-end life. I'm not giving anything away, but let me assure you; don't mess with a frustrated, debt-ridden divorcee. You will regret it.

Obama to Sign $16.3 Billion Veterans Spending Bill
WASHINGTON D.C. (Worthy News)-- President Barack Obama will travel to a military facility outside Washington on Thursday to sign a $16.3 billion plan to ease health care delays at Veterans Affairs facilities as he seeks to restore confidence in an agency tarnished by the problem, Reuters reported.
The legislation, passed just before Congress left for summer recess, is intended to clear months-long wait lists for healthcare appointments at VA hospitals and clinics. News that the agency was covering up the delays led to the ouster of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki in May.
The measure contains $10 billion in new emergency spending and allows veterans to use private doctors at the department's expense if they cannot get an appointment in less than 30 days. -- Source

The classic Pakistan-India duels have almost always pitted the former's raging fast men against the steel of the latter's batting line.
For Pakistan, the pacers have always been there, but lately there was very little of that rage; the edge that put the Indian batsmen on the back foot. Meanwhile, India has continued to churn out one quality batsmen after the other, pushing extra weight in the seesaw battle between the neighbours.
Whether Pakistan may have turned back the hands of time, only the coming season will tell. But on evidence of the first three games of this tour, there has been a considerable shift, perhaps even a psychological one. It has given captains Misbah-ul-Haq and Mohammad Hafeez belief that Pakistan can yet 'stir 'em up'. That Saeed Ajmal, the team's one-man strike force for the last couple of years, has largely flown under the radar in India, may further the notion but his impact on the host's batsmen cannot be ruled out.
Will the trio of Junaid Khan, Umar Gul and Mohamamd Irfan fire at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata? Veteran curator Prabir Mukhherjee has termed the strip a "proper one-day wicket", meaning there will be enough in it to keep the batsmen, bowlers and stands alive. There is, however, the threat of early morning showers, which will add juice to the turf and once again make it a game where the batsman have to go that extra-mile.
Pakistan's batsman can take confidence from their performance in the last ODI and gambling fans will actually take heart from the imperious-looking Hafeez's failure at Chennai. There is a long-standing belief in the followers of Pakistan that often it is the brilliance of a couple of individuals upon which the whole teams rides upon, hence, Ajmal's low-key showing will also not be bothersome.
The hosts, on the other hand, will need to get their act together as a whole, it seems and apart from Dhoni, there was hardly a performance to be proud of. Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag and even Virat Kohli, available for selection after an injury, have a bit to prove, as does Ravichandran Ashwin, who was being touted as the biggest threat to Misbah's men on this tour.
With the increasing levels of fog and decreasing temperatures in New Delhi, the venue for the last ODI, there are chances that Thursday's match may well turn into the series decider. And if Pakistan were to pick a venue to win their first limited-overs series in India since 2005, they couldn't have done better than Eden Gardens, where they have won all four out a total of five matches, three of them against the hosts.
Barring any last-minute niggles, Pakistan are unlikely to make any changes to the squad that played in Chennai: Nasir Jamshed, Mohammad Hafeez, Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Saeed Ajmal, Junaid Khan, Umar Gul, Mohammad Irfan
India may bring in some fresh faces, with Ajinkya Rahane looking like a better prospect to open the innings at this point then Virender Sehwag and Ravindra Jadeja giving Dhoni a bowling option in place of Rohit Sharma. Dropping Sehwag could prove dicey for the captain, though, and the likely Indian line up may look like this:
Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Ashok Dinda.
Eden Gardens, Kolkata:
-The venue, it seems, suits the Indian bowlers. The top five for most wickets on this ground in ODIs are all Indian. Although not in the same class as Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble, Dinda, Ashwin and co and take that as a positive.
-Only four Pakistani players, Misbah-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal have previously played at the Eden Gardens, dubbed by some as 'cricket's answer to the Coliseum.'
-Out of the 26 ODIs played at the venue, teams batting first have won 14 times, 11 victories have come while chasing and there has been one no-result. It seems a pretty even stat, and indicates that conditions do not change much throughout.

Rob Ryan has now gone 44,640 minutes without landing an NFL job. That's after he said he'd be out of work for "like five minutes" after being dismissed, fairly or unfairly, as the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator back on Jan. 8.
The boisterous defensive coordinator had a flirtation with the St. Louis Rams within the past couple of weeks and was reported by some to have the job locked up, but was eventually deemed to be a bad fit scheme-wise by Rams head coach Jeff Fisher, who was looking to replace the suspended Gregg Williams.
Now, it appears Ryan is back to work once again, and in Williams' old stomping grounds, as ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that his sources are saying Ryan will be hired by the New Orleans Saints as their defensive coordinator.
The Cowboys, of course, finished 8-8 and missed a chance to earn a postseason berth in Week 17 when they were beaten by Washington and Robert Griffin III. The Cowboys' defense finished in the middle of the pack against the run and the pass and near the bottom of the NFL in turnovers forced and sacks, which apparently were Ryan's calling cards.
New Orleans head coach Sean Payton, newly reinstated by the NFL after the Saints' "bountygate" that forced him to miss the 2012 season told ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" that he will interview Ryan this week, but that there had been no hire made.

Life is quiet for Alex Verus. Amazing. With a flat full of friends (and the occasional fish) and business booming, why not enjoy the humdrum here and now?
But of course that's too good to be true. In a sudden and cruel pincer movement of fate, Alex finds himself fighting a sinister and powerful gang as well as his own demons - for the same crime.
Held hostage by the choices of his past, Alex's future is now in jeopardy....

Great as usual although a lot darker than the last books. you get to know more about Alex's history.
sets you up for the next book :)
"Another great read"
I have enjoyed this series so far but not comfortable with the Tobruk situation.
Did we have to have the level of torture towards Rachel?
Tried to be diplomatic with my words.
"Almost finished it in one go! Riveting!"
This is the best Alex Verus yet. Quite a few things that have been hinted at in previous books are coming getting explained. Splendid book!

Computers are fast these days. Something that it seems is all too easy to forget if you grew up in the 1980's, when home computers were slow, you spent most of the decade programming in BASIC, and weren't even particularly good at it.
In the best Unix terminal emulator, I made the regular expression searching automatically highlight new output. In Edit, I didn't. Even though it's obviously the right thing to do.
In my defense, it was a couple of years ago now, and Java wasn't as fast as it is now, but I'd guess it was fast enough back then. Here's how I know: the matches are updated in real time as you type your search expression. Have been for years. So what did I think would be so expensive about updating the matches as you edit the document?
Dunno. Search me.
[Update: weak puns aside, while actually making the change I came across commented-out code that suggests my original intention was that further editing should cancel the find. Having since used applications that behave in both ways, I prefer the ones that keep find results up to date unless I explicitly tell them to stop.]

Please note that all custom natural stone counters are proudly manufactured in the USA specifically for your order, and so require at least 4 weeks manufacturing time.
Natural stone like marble and granite, while otherwise durable, are vulnerable to staining from hair dye, ink, tea, coffee, oily materials such as hand cream or milk, and can be etched by acidic substances such as alcohol and soft drinks. Please protect your countertop and/or sink by avoiding contact with these substances. For more information, please review our "Marble & Granite Care" guide.
After only 15 months of use, the pulls have rusted on the inside and out, the soft close drawers slam shut, the finish is water stained and impossible to clean. The mirror is pulling away from the frame. If I get some Customer Service I will retract my post and give a good review. The vessel and counter have been fine, easy to clean.
the materials are good and the colors go well together but our installer mounted this unit 30" off the floor. we suggest 33"-34" high.
wow!!! this is a lot of vanity! we love the colors and the cabinet is well constructed. the caeserstone counter and black granite sink pushed the price to $3500 but we are very happy with this purchase.

* By Michelle Buyaki and Clementina Sarange – Akili Dada Alumnae
14 year old Mihir Garimella with her rotting fruit inspired robot, 17 year old Guillaume Rolland and his olfactory alarm clock, 16 year old Eswar Anandapadmanaban and the touchless respirator monitor are just a few of the outstanding innovators in the 2014 Global Google Science Fair competition.
All were young but willing to make a change, clear inspirations to other young people including our very own Akili Dada Club members who developed and submitted their own projects for the 2015 competition.
The Google Science Fair is a global online science and technology competition open to individuals and teams aged 13 to 18. As the saying goes," An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." – Benjamin Franklin. We at Akili Dada believe in making this investment in girls at an early age and saw the science fair as a great opportunity for our dadas to identify issues as well as areas of need in their communities and build innovative solutions to address these issues. We had a team of 18 Akili Dada Club members submit 4 projects including:
Degrading polyethylene to evolve ethylene gas
Due to the resilience of plastic to degradation, the issue of plastic pollution has become a threat to the global ecology and the accumulation of plastic materials in the environment an increasing concern. On top of that, the sight of plastic waste everywhere we look is extremely unpleasant.
Biodegradation is one of the ways to curb this problem. In this project, our dadas worked on degrading polyethylene to produce ethylene gas. The edge of this project is that on top of reducing polythene bags, there is the evolution of ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is needed for the ripening of fruits that do not produce their own ethylene hormone. The project therefore addresses two needs in our environment.
Fermenting organic waste to produce bioethanol
Following the adverse effects of non-renewable sources of energy in depleting natural resources, there is emphasis on developing alternative sources of fuel; more specifically, biofuel. This project involved fermenting of organic waste that the students could access in their environment to produce ethanol. Ethanol produced from fermentation of organic waste can be used as transportation fuel in vehicles. The advantage of this over gasoline is that ethanol is constantly replenished by growing plants as compared to petroleum which is depleted with usage.
Making silk fabric from spider webs
With the aim of cutting cost of clothing for poor people, this group set out to make silk fabric from spider webs. Spider silk is so far the strongest fabric discovered. Due to the availability and accessibility of spider webs around the school, the students found it wise to tap into this resource. After making the fabric, the students used different dyes to make the fabric more appealing. At the end of the day, the group's goal was achieved because the fabric produced was cheap (since the raw materials are readily available) and does not wear or tear quickly hence reducing the clothing cost of the target group.
Making rock candy by applying crystallization process
Some water, sugar, a bit of patience and you have a self-made treat! Custom made to your liking. The process is really simple. Sugar is put in water to make a solution then heated as more sugar is added to it until a super saturated solution is formed. As the water cools, the sugar comes out and forms crystals around the skewer placed in the solution. You can add a flavor to the crystal at the initial stages and enjoy the tasty treat. This is a simple scientific process that can be applied to suit one's needs and reduce costs of purchasing candy from the stores.
All the projects were at prototype stage however our dadas had a greater vision to maximize each project's' potential so as to address various community needs. The projects not only addressing the issue of organic and inorganic wastes in our environment but providing cheaper and more sustainable alternatives for communities.
