Bernita, I'm so happy for you! That's a truly wonderful first review. You need to print it and frame it, and then you need to look at it every time you start to doubt your own ability to write.
I'm even more desperate to read D&D now! It's a long wait till it's officially published.

So happy for you, Bernita!!
(but not at all surprised).

It's scary, isn't it? I wasn't prepared for the amount of fear.
Wonderful, Bernita. I'm so, so happy for you. Reviews don't get any better than that.

- Liz Fichera said...
Pre-ordered, I should have probably mentioned. With B&N, it will go right to my Nook on the release date. Cool, eh? :-)
- June 11, 2010 12:35 PM

Yay!!! So happy for you. Congrats and best wishes for more reviews like that one!
- June 11, 2010 12:48 PM
- Bernita said...
Hugs back, Angie!
Thank you, Fairy. That's what I was thinking! No matter if the book is slammed after this ( and it will be) and I cry as little because I had failed that particular reader, I have this one.
Oh, Liz, that is so nice of you!
People, Liz has historical fiction coming out from Carina about the same time as mine.
Dear Raine! I am surprised though!
I never thought I'd get a review this good.
That's the word, Bets! Thank you!
Oh, LW, one does though! But she "got" it, everything I was trying to suggest/imply.
Thank you, Sarah! Really fearsome, isn't it?...waiting for the book to land with a great big dull thud!
Anne, I can't imagine a better review for D&D than this one!
- June 11, 2010 1:09 PM
- Bernita said...
Precie, thank you so much!
- June 11, 2010 1:11 PM
Well done! That was a lovely review :)
- June 11, 2010 4:04 PM
- Bernita said...
Alex, thank you! I just never expected anything like this.
- June 11, 2010 4:42 PM
- Barbara Martin said...
Bernita, you shouldn't really be so surprised. All your posts are well done. You take great care in what you write, and all that hard work you did on the story shows off in the review!
Well done! I look forward to reading the story when I get it.

- Kelly (Lynn) Parra said...
Congrats Bernita!! I'm thrilled for you!!
- June 11, 2010 11:38 PM
- Charles Gramlich said...
Wonderful! Hurray!
- June 12, 2010 1:22 AM
- Bernita said...
Thank you, Barbara!
Hard work and careful craft don't automatically generate a good review, however.
You will notice that ghosts, for example, is normally something she doesn't care for in novels but found a reason to like in D&D...another reader/reviewer might not be so fair.
Kelly,thank you!
Kelly's "Criminal Instinct" is available now from Carina.
Meant to mention that Liz's historical title is "Captive Spirit."
I think it is so great that readers can check out a free chapter before they decide to buy.
Charles, thank you!
Five shots! I can't quite believe it still!
- June 12, 2010 7:31 AM
- Bernita said...
Ugh! "Ghosts" are . Thinking of ghosts as a single element in the novel betrayed me into using an inappropriate singular.
- June 12, 2010 7:33 AM
- BernardL said...
Outstanding! Make sure it goes up with your book on the website, and if you can link it into Amazon it will mean a huge lift in sales. Add it into your blog permanently with the cover. This is the time you have to splash it everywhere you can for the release.
- June 12, 2010 10:48 AM
- archer said...
You so rock. Yay!
- June 12, 2010 3:10 PM
- Bernita said...
Bernard, thank you! That's great advice!
I think Tequila links with Amazon and I'll ask Carina about linking good reviews!
Thank you, Archer. The next review might be really, really bad though.
- June 12, 2010 3:32 PM
- Lana Gramlich said...
Congratulations, hon! Well deserved. Keep up the good work!
- June 12, 2010 5:25 PM

Lana, thank you. It's only one person's opinion but it's very sweet!

- SzélsőFa said...
congratulations! this is wonderful news!

That's wonderful!! Congratulations! {{{hug}}}
I'm not surprised in the slightest, though. :-)

- Travis Erwin said...
Awesome, but then again not surprising given your talent.
- June 14, 2010 8:07 AM
Huzzah! Sounds more and more intriguing; as soon as I get done with part 1 of my final paper (grad school, yeesh!) I plan to dive in. Can't wait!
- June 14, 2010 8:26 AM
- Bernita said...
And hugs back,Stacia, my darling, generous girl!
Travis, thank you. That's a kind thing to say.
I remember the sheer sweat of that, SWN! Hope it goes well, and thank you.

Woo-hoo! Lillie rocks. Two more weeks! I can't wait for the release! I am so excited for you, Bernita!
- June 15, 2010 12:59 AM
- Bernita said...
Thank you, Natasha! I was really pleased with how she described Lillie!
- June 15, 2010 7:43 AM
So cool to get the first one out of the way and have it be positive.

Jason, I just hope I haven't used up all my luck with this one review!

TOKYO, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A leading Japanese phones maker says it plans to sell easy-to-use smartphones for seniors in overseas markets.
Fujitsu Ltd. plans to release smartphones outside Japan in 2013. The devices have easy-to-read display images, larger letters and increased volume outside Japan in 2013, Asahi Shimbun reported Friday.
Fujitsu said it sees a marketing opportunity in seniors, since Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. tend to dominate the smartphone market for young people.
"As the Japanese market has already hit a peak, we have to sell devices overseas to increase our sales numbers," Fujitsu President Masami Yamamoto said.
As part of that strategy, Fujitsu will sell its "Raku-Raku Smartphone" (easy-to-use smartphone), released in Japan last summer, in the United States and Europe after making modifications for each market, he said.
Fujitsu said it expects overseas sales to increase its mobile phone shipments from 8 million units in fiscal 2012 to 10 million in fiscal 2014.

Annually more than a billion smartphones are sold across the world, and because the competition is so fierce, phones at the cheaper end of the scale are getting better. Much better. There's no longer any need to buy the most expensive phone just to get the best, and latest features. In our guide to the best cheap phones you can buy, we highlight the ultimate phones that don't have an outrageous price tag.
If you have a little more money to spend, head over to our best smartphones guide to see our top picks.
Our pick
OnePlus 5T
Why should you buy this: The OnePlus 5T looks the part with its minimal bezels and large screen, has the fastest processor out there, and a capable dual-lens camera — all at a fraction of the cost of a Galaxy S8 or iPhone 8 Plus.
Who's it for: Anyone who wants a flagship smartphone with a near stock Android experience, at a lower price than the Google Pixel 2
How much will it cost: $500+
Why we picked the OnePlus 5T:
While the $500 standard price tag means this is the most expensive OnePlus smartphone to date, you'll be hard pressed to find a more powerful phone for a comparable price. The OnePlus 5T's design is right up-to-date with super slim bezels around the 6-inch screen, despite the body being no larger than the 5.5-inch OnePlus 5 it replaces.
This design change has forced another: The fingerprint sensor is now on the back, making it more comfortable to use, and it joins a slightly different dual-lens camera. Less inspired by Apple's iPhone 8 Plus this time around, the 5T has a standard lens instead of a telephoto lens, producing bokeh shots without cropping, and improving low-light performance. The front camera doesn't just take selfies, it powers the OnePlus 5T's Face Unlock system, which is very fast and really convenient; but it's not a substitute for the security provided by the fingerprint sensor.
Want the fastest Qualcomm processor to power your smartphone? The OnePlus 5T has you covered with a Snapdragon 835. It's the same chip powering the Samsung Galaxy S8, HTC U11, and the Google Pixel 2 — phones that cost more than $650 a pop — and it even offers more RAM. You get a choice of either 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, though 8GB of RAM is rather excessive. It's worth paying the extra for more internal memory, as the OnePlus 5T doesn't have a MicroSD card slot.
The 6.01-inch Full Optic AMOLED screen has a 2,160 x 1,080-pixel resolution, which looks glorious, and will impress most people. You also get Bluetooth 5, which offers faster connectivity and range, AptX HD Bluetooth for the best wireless audio performance, and OnePlus' proprietary fast-charging technology, Dash Charge. The latter provides you with a full day of battery life in just 30 minutes. Speaking of the battery, the OnePlus 5 has a 3,300mAh capacity and can be charged via a USB Type-C port. And yes, you can charge and listen to music at the same time, because there's a headphone jack on the bottom of the phone.
One of the OnePlus 5T's biggest draws is its smooth and accessible user experience. The OxygenOS operating system is based on Android 7.1.1, and the user interface doesn't stray far from the stock Android experience on a Google Pixel phone. OnePlus adds in several handy additional features, including a reading mode, clever adaptive contrast for viewing the screen outdoors, a slide-in shortcut and information page called Shelf, and gestures such as a double-tap to wake the screen.
The OnePlus 5 is only available on GSM networks, meaning you can use it on ATT and T-Mobile, but it won't work with a Sprint or Verizon connection. Other downsides include the phone's lack of water resistance and its slippery exterior. For $500, you're getting equal, if not better performance, than the Galaxy S8 — without the gimmicks. It's astonishingly good value, and a phone you won't regret buying regardless of your budget.
The best cheap iPhone
iPhone SE
Why should you buy this: It's the best 4-inch smartphone ever made with many of the same specs as the iPhone 6S and a strong camera.
Who's it for: Anyone who wants an iPhone, but has limited cash or just likes 'em small
How much will it cost: $350+
Why we picked the iPhone SE:
This is the obvious choice for bargain-seeking Apple fans who have their hearts set on an iPhone. It takes most of the features of the iPhone 6S and packs them into the body of an iPhone 5S. If you feel like modern smartphones are getting too big, then the iPhone SE will suit you perfectly.
It has the same A9 processor as the 6S, backed by 2GB of RAM. On paper that doesn't sound impressive, but in terms of real world performance, it's lightning fast and beats many more expensive phones. There's a great 12-megapixel main camera that takes sharp, crisp, natural-looking photos, and has support for Live Photos. You also get Touch ID, Siri, and NFC for Apple Pay.
The 4-inch screen matches the 6S for pixel density, so it's sharp and clear. The iOS platform is very easy to use and you get access to an excellent library of slick apps and games. The battery is only rated at 1,642mAh, but since it's powering a smaller display, it results in above average stamina. Apple has also upped the base storage model from 16GB to 32GB.
Inevitably, there are some disappointments here. The front-facing camera is just 1.2-megapixels, so this is not the phone for selfie fans. There's also no 3D Touch. Despite the compromises, this is the most reasonably priced iPhone you can buy right now.
The best phone under $400
HTC U11 Life
Why should you buy this: The HTC U11 Life offers a great design and decent performance, along with modern features like Bluetooth 5.0 and even water-resistance.
Who's it for: Those that have a budget of $400 and simply want the best phone they can buy
How much will it cost: $350
Why we picked the HTC U11 Life:
HTC may have had a rough few years, but it's back with a vengeance with the HTC U11 series — including the U11, U11 Plus, and U11 Life. The latter is one of the best looking phones for its $350 price tag, and it's well rounded in almost every main category.
The rear features the same sapphire gleam as the flagship U11, but instead of glass, HTC has gone with acrylic. It still looks great, and it stands out from a sea of budget phones. It's IP67 water-resistant, like the U11, and it's one of the cheapest phones to have this rating.
Under the hood, the HTC U11 Life features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chip, coupled with 3GB of RAM, assuming you're going for the North American version of the device. In our review, the phone performed relatively well, and it should handle most tasks with ease. You'll get 32GB of storage in this phone, though it can be expanded with the MicroSD card slot.
On the front, you'll find a 5.2-inch 1,920 x 1,080 pixel LCD display, which is about what you would expect from a phone in this price range. It looks crisp and colorful, though not as bright as a flagship smartphone. What's neat is this phone is chock full of digital assistants to choose from. Not only will you get Google Assistant, but you'll also have access to Amazon Alexa, and HTC's Sense Companion. You can trigger Google Assistant or Alexa by squeezing the phone — a feature brought down from the U11.
On the back, the rear-facing camera sits in at 16-megapixels with an f/2.0 aperture, and while it's probably the weakest part of the phone, it's still great for this price range. The front-facing camera is also 16-megapixels, though it's rather standard. The battery comes in at 2,600mAh, which isn't large, but it should get you through the day without any problems.
The only downside? The phone only works on T-Mobile and ATT, so you may have to go for the Moto X4 as an alternative.
The best phone under $300
Moto G5S Plus
Why should you buy this: The Moto G5S Plus is a great, cheap Android phone with solid specs and a decent display that won't let you down.
Who's it for: Pure Android fans on a budget who prize substance over style
How much will it cost: $280
Why we picked the Moto G5S Plus:
Despite Lenovo's takeover of the Moto brand, the budget Moto G line is still a budget phone flag bearer. The new G5S Plus differentiates slightly from the Moto G5 Plus, mainly with an all-metal unibody. This does not feel like a budget phone.
The G5S Plus boasts a 5.5-inch full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) screen, a zippy Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, and 4GB of RAM. The basic model has 32GB of storage, and there is a MicroSD card slot for expansion. It runs well enough to handle multitasking and light gaming well, though you may want to look elsewhere for anything more intensive.
Like most budget phones, the camera is the weakest link, but the photos it takes are still satisfactory and can sometimes be great — if you're in good lighting. It's the first in the Moto G line with a dual-lens camera, both with 13 megapixels each. The front-facing camera packs 8 megapixels, and it's fairly standard.
A 3,000mAh battery provides enough power to see you through a full day, and there's a fingerprint sensor with support for swipe gestures. One of the best things about the G5S Plus is the complete absence of bloatware. There's no manufacturer "skin" or theme cluttering up the user interface.
Motorola isn't the most timely manufacturer when it comes to updates, which means it might be a while before the G5S Plus gets a major software upgrade like Android Oreo. U.S. G5S Plus models also lack support for NFC in the U.S. version, which is sure to disappoint if you're keen to use your phone for contactless payments. Despite all that, the Moto G5S Plus is still a great all-rounder.
The best phone for less than $200
Honor 7X
Andy Boxall/Digital Trends
Why should you buy this: The Honor 7X looks better than phones costing twice as much, and manages to match on performance too.
Who's it for: Anyone who wants to own a $200 phone that feels and works like it cost way more.
How much will it cost: $200
Why we picked the Honor 7X:
When top-of-the-range phones can reach $1,000, paying $200 for one must mean it's rubbish, right? Wrong, and in the case of the Honor 7X, very wrong indeed. Honor has impressed us with its low-cost phones before, but the 7X goes way beyond anything it has released at this price before. In fact, it undercuts the Honor 6X, the model it replaces.
For your $200 you get a metal-bodied smartphone with an 18:9 aspect ratio screen, measuring 5.93-inches and with a 2,160 x 1,080 pixel resolution, giving you the very desirable large screen/compact body experience. That's the same deal you'll find on the LG V30, the Galaxy S8, and the OnePlus 5T. Phones that cost two or three times more.
Naturally, the Honor 7X isn't a high performance gaming machine, but it holds its own with a Kirin 659 processor and 2GB of RAM, plus 32GB of internal memory. That's the base model in the U.S., while in the U.K. the Honor 7X has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage memory, but costs a little more at 270 British pounds.
You may expect a simple camera on the Honor 7X. No, it's a dual-lens setup with a 16-megapixel main cam and 2-megapixel secondary lens, ready to shoot bokeh-style shots that look professional. Software tweaks have sped up performance and improved low-light photography over the Honor 6X, and it's great for taking pictures to share online. The selfie camera even has cute face filters built right into it.
We like the software too. It's Android Nougat with Huawei's EMUI 5.1 user interface over the top. Honor is a sub-brand of Huawei and share a lot of technology, which is good news for us, because EMUI is much improved over old versions. There are fewer customizations, it's faster, and more logical. It's not a faultless phone. There's no NFC for Android Pay, the software is a bit old, and the 3,340mAh battery didn't take us past two days with moderate use.
But still, the Honor 7X is only $200 and an absolute bargain.
The best phone for less than $100
ZTE Blade Z Max
Why should you buy this: The ZTE Blade Z Max may have a super low price tag, but it's still a decently capable phone for those looking for something to do the basics.
Who's it for: Those that want a phone capable of texting, calling, web browsing, and running social media apps without paying more than $100.
How much will it cost: $100
Why we picked the ZTE Blade Z Max:
The ZTE Blade Z Max may have a low price tag, but it doesn't look like such a cheap phone. It offers a grippy rubber-feeling exterior with a fingerprint sensor on the back — right below the dual-lens camera, which is tough to find on a phone this price.
Under the hood, the phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 435, which may be a little weak for some users. But coupled with the 2GB of RAM, it can handle most day-to-day activities pretty well. It also features 32GB of storage, but there's a MicroSD card slot for those that want more.
Perhaps the best thing about this phone is the massive battery, which comes in at 4,080mAh and can last more than a day. On the back, you'll find a 16-megapixel dual-sensor camera, while the front-facing cam sits in at 8-megapixels. Don't expect anything remarkable out of the camera.
The main downside here is that the phone is only available on MetroPCS, but there are different variations of it on other carriers. On Cricket Wireless, you have the ZTE Blade X, while on the Boost Mobile network you get the ZTE Blade Force. Last but not least is Verizon, which offers the ZTE Blade Vantage. The phones may have slightly different features, so you'll want to take a look at the specs to make sure they have everything you need.
How we test
We're fanatical about our phones here at Digital Trends. Every phone we test serves as our main device for at least a week, often longer, so we can get a real feel for what life would be like living with it. We read on them, game on them, shoot video and photos, navigate, organize, and occasionally even make calls. Every facet is explored, every manufacturer claim is challenged, and we're careful to take the intended audience and price tag into account when judgment time comes.
Debates on the best phones in different categories are a regular occurrence and no one on the mobile team is shy about sharing their opinion. When we find flaws, we tell like it is. Ultimately, we'll never recommend any phone that we wouldn't be happy using ourselves.
Is now a good time to buy?
If you're content with the phone you have, then keep it, because the longer you wait, the better your choices will be. That being said, this is the best time to purchase a smartphone. Every manufacturer has released their phone of the year ahead of the holiday season, so you have plenty of options to choose from.
Update: Swapped the OnePlus 5 for the new OnePlus 5T.

Hi, I had been trying to learn these strategies since last month. Why it is so that we need to bet double for every loss, if not won it may significantly hurt the pocket after all. Is there any point where it is advisable to leave the table, just asking as I found myself it's very difficult to decide. Do you advice to play it online.
By no means am I an expert at predicting what number a tiny ball will drop on but here is what I usually follow:
1- Rather than play odd/even or black/red.....play the rows. I always play the left and right, leaving the middle out. It pays two to one and a lot of times this will save your losses on individual numbers.
2- I play the same numbers with different limits depending on a feel. (10,18,26,27,30)
3- Break down the wheel. Many times a number will come up and then the next number will be a few slots away. Block a side of the wheel and see what happens.
I love this game but there is no "secret" to winning.
Vegas trip anyone?
Am I the longest tenured BC member?
Furthermore the casinos have the software and the personell trained on how to spin the roulette adn throw the ball so that they can maximize their win.
It`s best if you play roulette only for fun!

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is more than 20 years old, but surveys show that it still ranks as one of the most confusing and frustrating employment laws for companies to administer. And in those 20 years, employees have learned how to use the FMLA to their advantage.
It's important for managers to understand whether an employee's request for leave could qualify as FMLA leave, and how to respond once an employee is on FMLA leave.
Editorial Director Pat DiDomenico provides a brief overview of the FMLA and covers the top five things that managers need to know about the law.
1. Which employees are eligible and why?
The FMLA allows qualified employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave from their jobs each year. To be eligible, employees must have worked at your organization for at least 12 months and logged at least 1,250 hours of service during that time.
If employees are qualified, they can take FMLA leave for any of these three reasons:
- To care for their child after birth, adoption or foster care. (This includes both women and men.)
- To care for the employee's spouse, child or parent who has a "serious" health condition.
- The employee's own "serious" health condition makes him or her unable to perform the job.
Two other important points to remember: Only companies with 50 or more employees are required to offer FMLA leave. Also, many states have their own FMLA-like laws that employers need to understand.2. What counts as a "serious" health condition?
The law allows FMLA leave only for "serious" health conditions to prevent employees from using it for colds and headaches. But there's no precise list of conditions that qualify as "serious" conditions.
Basically, the law defines a "serious condition" as one that requires in-patient hospital care or a three-day incapacity requiring continuing treatment from a doctor. That can include anything from a stroke to severe arthritis. And it includes incapacity due to chronic conditions like asthma and diabetes.
Courts are constantly debating which ailments qualify as "serious" and which don't. Employers have the right to demand medical certification from a doctor to make a decision on whether a condition qualifies.
Best bet: Managers should bring the issue to HR's attention whenever they suspect an ailment might qualify for FMLA protections.
3. How much FMLA leave can employees take?
Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during a 12-month period. The law refers to unpaid leave — it doesn't require paid leave during those 12 weeks.
Eligible leave doesn't have to come in one-week or even one-day chunks. The law allows some employees to take "intermittent" FMLA leave, which can be for one hour or less.
The FMLA does permit employees to elect (or employers to require the employee) to use accrued paid leave, such as vacation or sick leave, for some or all of the FMLA leave period.
4. What's an "illegal" manager action?
The law says managers can never block eligible employees from taking FMLA leave. An employee's FMLA leave may be inconvenient, but it's illegal to retaliate. Nor can you consider an employee's FMLA leave as a negative factor when deciding on his pay, benefits or promotions.
After FMLA leave is over, employees must be able to return to the same or an equivalent position with equal pay, benefits and perks. The new position must involve the same or substantially similar duties, responsibilities and authority as the pre-leave position.
Employees on FMLA leave continue to earn health benefits.
5. Must employees notify you?
If employees can foresee their need for FMLA leave—say in a pregnancy—they must give you at least 30 days' advance notice.
When FMLA leave is not foreseeable, they need to inform you as soon possible, which usually means one or two business days.
One final important point: Employees don't specifically need to cite the law or say they need "FMLA leave." It's the employer's responsibility to identify leave requests that could qualify as job-protected FMLA leave. If you suspect a leave request could qualify, it's important to notify HR right away.


text: Stylolite, secondary (chemical) sedimentary structure consisting of a series of relatively small, alternating, interlocked, toothlike columns of stone; it is common in limestone, marble, and similar rock. The individual columns never appear singly but occur as a succession of interpenetrations that in cross section make a zigzag suture across the face of the stone. They are generally marked by concentrations of insoluble constituents such as clay minerals, iron oxides, or organic matter. There has been much controversy over their origin, but geologists generally submit to the preponderance of field evidence supporting the theory of secondary origin; that is, that stylolites result from differential chemical solution by groundwater circulating through semiconsolidated or consolidated, hardened rock.

Maximum points � Jimmie Johnson is accustomed to leading the Sprint Cup points during the Chase. In order to take the lead, he won for the fourth time this season and led more laps than any other driver. As a result, he leads Brad Keselowski by two.
Say bye-bye � Denny Hamlin overcame an early penalty, but his championship hopes took what is almost surely a death blow due to mysterious electrical problems that relegated him to 33rdplace. He lost 29 points to the leader and trails by 49.
Notable numbers
7 � Jimmie Johnson victories at Martinsville
11 � Races since Hendrick Motorsports� previous victory
15 � Richard Petty victories at Martinsville
19 � Hendrick Motorsports victories at Martinsville
Quotable quotes
�You get a little something in your back pocket when you�ve got that first pit-road stall.� � Jimmie Johnson
�Everything I�d gain on the track, I�d lose on pit road.� � Clint Bowyer
�It was a solid day, but we�d have liked to have been just a little bit faster.� � Brad Keselowski (sixth)
�At the start of the race, we didn�t have a car capable of staying on the lead lap, much less finishing in the top five.� � Aric Almirola (fourth)

Athene's Theory of Everything (movie)
Tags: Consciousness, Quantum Physics
Chiren Boumaaza, aka Athene, is an extravagant Internet celebrity, with over 240 million upload views, and a professional gamer. If you haven't heard of him, he's a record holder in World of Warcraft and online poker, and plays the main character in a series of videos on a popular YouTube channel with well over 340,000 subscribers.
Athene is known for crashing gaming servers, with the aid of his massive army of followers, who just love to be part of the controversy and trouble Athene is so well known for. Over the past year, we haven't heard much from him, and it seemed as though he had fallen off the grid. Recently Chiren broke his silence, and announced that his disappearance was due to being very busy, conducting new research in the fields of quantum mechanics, general and special relativity, and neuroscience. He continued to say that this research is culminating in significant new discoveries that will be presented in a documentary named Athene's Theory of Everything. This was definitely an unexpected turn, and caused quite a stir, and some confusion within his fan base. Knowing the background of this person it is hard to belive that this documentary might have any scientific value, however it it still worth checking…
Please note that the film has been released in 2011.

Dear friends, greetings from the roads of Honduras in Central America.
Walk2gether continues and, step by step, we are overcoming the mountains of Santa Barbara and La Esperanza, walking at an altitude of approximately 9,000 feet above sea level.
Some of the walkers have begun to experience the wear and tear from their efforts, such as blisters and chapped lips; however, their spirit continues, strong and unbreakable.
On Jan. 24, we arrived at the area of La Paz. Because the difficulty of the altitude, mountainous terrain and roads limited our progress, we were unable to cover the full 40 kilometers planned per day. So during our rest day, on Jan. 25, we had to go back and cover the 16 unwalked kilometers accumulated from the prior days.
That very same day we decided to suspend Walk2gether for two days, returning to the road on Jan. 28. The reason for this is that the new president of Honduras will be inaugurated on Jan. 27, and many demonstrations are planned for that day. This is a risky situation for us, as any type of demonstration is viewed as political. The local authorities are mobilizing military troops and police to the same roads where we are walking to prevent protesters from entering Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras.
One little story during our walk: a few days ago, Bob fell while walking on a dirt road. I can report that he suffered no injuries whatsoever. On the contrary, he proved to be in great physical condition, and, at the same time, we discovered that Walk2gether will continue either walking, jogging, running or rolling down the road.
My best to all,
Manuel Pineda
CFCA Santa Barbara Project Coordinator

Ambiance was a little known jazz fusion group out of Los Angeles who recorded on the small independent DaMon label. Their style incorporates Brazilian and Latin flavours with a righteous and soulful afrocentric jazz edge. Members include Daoud (Alto Sax, lute, Shekere, Flexitone, Agogo, Soprano Sax, etc..), Bob Selvin (Keyboards), Peter Lainson (Guitar, Tambourine), Paul Olguin (Bass), John Delatore (Drums), Sarah Flynn (Vocals) and Elisa Jones (Vocals).
I was prompted to remember this LP after seeing the compilation shared over at http://ileoxumare.blogspot.com - I think you'll agree this album is as strong in depth as that compilation - a solid listen right through without one weak track. A great record and one that deserves more than to languish in obscurity...

All eyes during the past week were on the much anticipated Fall 2008 fashion shows here in New York City, but we also wanted to draw attention to what has been happening with one of our favorite cutting-edge designers, Danish label NOIR at Copenhagen Fashion Week. We previously covered NOIR's Spring 2008 collection and were impressed by their innovative use of eco-friendly fabrics such as organic and African cottons, silks and oeko-tex certified fabrics, though their use of leather surely keeps them from being a fashion-fave amongst vegans. That said, we are really excited by their Illuminati II initiative, which is sure to raise continued awareness of the campaign to bring organic and Fair Trade cotton fabrics to designers and the market. NOIR's recent Fall 2008 Collection presentation was definitely a rockin' show with a rockin' agenda.
You may have spied photos in the fashion blogosphere of Shalom Harlow looking sleek, seductive, and totally reborn in the NOIR Transparency collection, but we think that it is equally sexy that NOIR lists affiliations like the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN's Global Impact Principles, ILO Conventions, and ICC's Business Charter for Sustainable Development on their website's home page. This is all in line with NOIR's "code of conduct" principles by which founder Peter Ingwersen aims to design and manufacture. The newly launched Illuminati II initiative is a luxurious fabric brand that will supply the highest quality organic cotton fabrics to NOIR and other luxury brands under the umbrella of Global Compact principles and ILO whilst ensuring sustainability of The Humane Business Model from the heart of Africa.
Whether or not NOIR's design aesthetic appeals to you, you have to give them credit for taking a stand on how business should get done, and how people everywhere might also feel good about the future of fashion and fabric production and sourcing for the industry.

Blizzcon Casulties, part 2
You didn't expect all my adventures to fit in a single post, did you?
The Guildies
The best part of Blizzcon, of course, is the people. Initially, it was the only reason I wanted to go anyway. Just to put faces and bodies to the names and voices I've spent so many happy evenings with.
I've met guildies before, but this was the largest meetup I've attended. If I counted it right, a total of 14 guildies from past and present made an appearance. Murmurs of WoW Insider and the official forums fame stayed with us as well and became an honorary guildie (even if we didn't see him much, popular guy that he is. PS. he's super cute).
To those who've never met guildies, I wish I could explain what it's like. The closest I can come is by saying that it's exactly like being on vent together, except that we can see each other's faces. The conversations we had were just like those we have online, but we could still understand each other if more than one person spoke at once (unlike vent).
I had been really worried about being the only girl from the gang, but it was a non-issue. It felt just like hanging out with my brothers. They even tried to make me feel like one of the gang by trying to pair me up with random guys at the WoW Insider meetup. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling so hot (less than 3 hours of sleep and more than 12 hours of travelling in the past 36 hours), so it was pretty disastrous:
Guildie (to random guy): Hey, have you met Tina?
(They had this system where all the guys were nicknamed Ted and I was Tina)
Random guy (to me): Hey Tina.
Me: Hey, how's it going?
*awkward silence*
Random guy: *points to my drink* What am I drinking?
Me: *thinking he's asking about my drink* Um…*trying to remember what my drink was* Jack and Coke.
Random guy: Nope, I'm not drinking anything. See? My hands are empty. You're wrong.
I rudely waved him away and turned around. By then the room was spinning and I felt like I was about to throw up (and no, I wasn't drunk, the Jack and Coke was almost full), so I finished up my drink, ran back to my hotel and burst into tears.
So, guy in this story, if you're reading this, I'm sorry! I'm not usually that rude, I just really, really don't travel well!
I didn't get iced, although I told them I'd be up for it. I was partly grateful, partly disappointed. I'd like to see if I could do it and feel like part of the team. At the same time, my stomach was bothering me the entire trip and I was desperately trying to avoid being sick. There's no way I could have kept a sweet drink down!
On a side note, I have to wonder about those people on TLC shows who eat almost exclusively junk food. I only had a couple of junk food meals and yet felt quite horribly ill from all the fat and salt.
My guildies also came up with what ended up being somewhat of a rally call. Whenever Matt was around, Bruherd, especially, kept yelling, WE'VE GOT THEE MATTICUS! FROM WORLD OF MATTICUS DOT COM! WE'RE RECRUTING FOR CATACLYSM!
Most of the time I wanted to crawl under the sidewalk, but it did come in handy. Whenever I had trouble finding my group, I'd just stop and listen for the THEE MATTICUS call. And it was apparently contagious: even Ghostcrawler exclaimed "It's THEE MATTICUS!" at one point.
Meeting Non Guildies
The magical thing about Blizzcon is that you're surrounded by all sorts of people. Grandparents, small children, prom-queen types, individuals who haven't left their bedroom since Blizzcon last year… All sorts of people. Yet, not matter how different we are, we all have that one thing in common: we love gaming enough to be here.
I met so many people last week, old friends and new friends. It was amazing. There's no way I can tell all the stories, or do justice to all those who crossed my path, so here are some select (mostly embarrassing) highlights.
One of the events I was most looking forward to was the TNB meetup. TNB played a huge role in getting me to start blogging in the first place, so I'd been counting down the days until the meetup.
I spend some time with the lovely ladies Beruthiel (whom I wasn't expecting to see at all! Such a pleasant suprise!) and Anafielle. I have to say, it was wonderful to hear about other topics than booze and sex! I completely fell in love with both of them and the evening was just too short!
I also got a picture with the Righteous Defense duo Rhidach and Anafielle. Back when I was tanking full time, I studied Righteous Defense religiously. When I saw both of their names on the TNB list, I was thrilled! I was even more thrilled when I saw that they both made it to the meetup. Rhidach was pretty quiet and only came out for a few minutes, but I was so fangirly and giddy that it was probably a good thing. Wouldn't want to embarrass myself any more!
Speaking of being fangirly and giddy, there was one point where I was right next to Turpster. Right next to him. And I was so shy and intimidated that I couldn't say anything. I ended up mumbling something like "take my raffle ticket". Without making eye contact, I clumsily shoved my raffle ticket at him and ran off. I'm really smooth like that…
I hope he at least won something with it.
Exploring the Area
One Friday, I had the day to myself as my guildies were all at the convention. I love walking and exploring, so I leisurely strolled down Katella Ave. Then I leisurely strolled down Main St. About two hours later, my legs sort of hurt and I found myself in downtown Santa Ana.
It was like stepping into a different world. I turned off my iPod, but kept the earphones on. I didn't want strangers pointing out the giant "TOURIST!" sign hanging above my head. I listened to the conversations around me. My Spanish is decent, considering my last Spanish lesson was over 10 years ago, but I couldn't understand everything that was being said. I also didn't want to take the risk of pulling out my camera.
I drifted by all the discount jewellery and bridal shops. I went to the grocery store and practiced my Spanish a little. Olà! Gracias! Ok, maybe I didn't practice it very much.
I walked a little further and found the Artists Village. I stopped for lunch at a gorgeous place called The Gypsy Den. I then made my way back up Main to the Bowers Museum. I'm a huge nerd who loves museums, especially cultural anthropology museums, so I was served. I floated from exhibit to exhibit, learning about arts and craftsmanship in Oceania and China.
By the time they kicked me out so they could close up, I was exhausted so I decided to take part in the joyous experience of Orange County public transit. (As a general note, to those who want to become backpackers, I highly encourage sampling public transit wherever you go. Nothing will give you a feel and a taste of a place the way sitting on a crowded, or deserted, city bus will.)
My guildies were supposed to meet me at the hotel at 6 for supper. Well, 6 came and went. 6:30 came and went. No sign of guildies. My phone doesn't work in the US, so I had no idea how long they planned on making me wait. I also wanted to be at the TNB meetup at 9, so I was furious. Furious. The jerks.
(Matt, who was doing his big-shot blogging stuff that afternoon and wasn't supposed to meet up with us until later at night, ended up saving the day by making an appearance and texting the guys for me.)
Saturday night, I skipped on the Hilton party to get a feel of the reputed LA nightlife. Unfortunately, by then I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. A guildie and I ended up going to a small place nearby in Fullerton. In the end, it was a great idea. The music was fantastic and the crowd was friendly and unpretentious. I danced for hours.
My poor foot (the same one as the huge blister!) got stabbed by a stiletto. I think I made a very high pitched sound and the stiletto wearer found herself flying into the crowd. We kind of stared at each other for a moment. Neither of us apologized, but I guess it wasn't necessary. We were even: her stiletto was very sharp and I don't know my own strength.
I had another adventure on Sunday. Most of the gang had gone home, but our raid leader, Evan, had stuck around to drive Matt and I to LAX. Matt wanted to be at the airport early and I wanted to go to Hollywood. By then, my brain-mouth filter had broken down and for those few hours I was quite possibly the most annoying person on the planet. Kudos to Evan for humouring me. I actually lost my voice from talking so much.
No one had a map, so after dropping off Matt, Evan and I randomly drove around until we found Hollywood and the walk of fame.
We did eventually make it. And we probably would have made it earlier had I not been wrong with every guess of direction I made. On the bright side, the drive was very educational: we unintentially toured a ghetto where all the houses had barred windows, a red light district and a number of freeways.
On the way back, we stopped off for food and in my exhaustion, I forgot how to act in a restaurant. I talked really loud (why Evan didn't shut me up, I don't know). Then I couldn't figure out how to put the tip on my receipt. I forgot that I hadn't paid yet and that I would get a paper with a tip line after my credit card was returned. After paying, I just sat there, forgetting that I could leave now.
I didn't drink much during Blizzcon. I don't have to drink to be stupid.
And now I'm home
My flight to Toronto was packed with Blizzcon enthusiasts, but I was so tired that I just sat on the ground (there aren't enough seats at LAX) and stared blankly at them. The stares they gave me in return were just as blank. No social mana left at all. Shame. The three semi-passed out across from me were hawt.
I did get some exercise in the Toronto airport. 15 minutes to go through customs and security… Yeah, I didn't make my connection. Well, I did, but only because they held the flight for me. My carry-on only challenge paid off: the only reason I made the flight was because I had no checked luggage.
I made it to my 1pm class on Monday. My flight landed at 11:30am, so I even had time to go home and take a shower!
I still haven't completely recovered, but my voice is slowly coming back, the sore throat is almost gone and I've been awake for at least 4 consecutive hours.
Now to catch up on all the schoolwork I missed…

Did Evan tell you his real name was Leighton?

Micro Focus has reached a new point release milestone with its application testing products. Silk Central 12.0 and Silk Performer 9.0 promise of broad testing functionality from functional to cloud-based performance testing across standard, web, and mobile application environments.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
- How to Improve Enterprise Defense Using Network Segmentation and Microsegmentation
- Find out What Your Peer's Top Priorities Are For 2020
The company is also promising real-time visibility into defects via Silk Central's new dashboard combined with Silk Performer's extended support for web and native application testing. Basically, this is an effort to catch and drive out defects earlier in the development lifecycle.
"Companies continue to struggle between delivering access to business applications 24/7 and ensuring those applications meet the ever-increasing quality and performance expectation of users," said Archie Roboostoff, Borland solutions portfolio director at Micro Focus. "By connecting the tools with processes, Silk now provides the critical, customized control over what, how, when, and where teams conduct testing."
Silk Central is comfortable in Agile use cases and elsewhere. "It adapts to fit into any process and environment," says the company. Its makers are touting its new "personal dashboard", which provides users with a "customizable and collaborative" window that serves as the jumping off point for testers and test managers.
Micro Focus enjoys using the term "real-time" before "visibility" as this is an important element in helping team members to find defects faster and ensure complete test coverage regardless of the complexity of the project. The personal dashboard includes more than 10 best-practice tracking reports out of the box, allowing users to get up to speed on reporting key tests, plan for complete coverage, control test execution, and manage individual testers.
Other new features of Silk Central include:
- Manual Execution Planning: this approach assists in selection, distribution, and execution of manual tests, ensuring that software development teams are working at peak efficiency so no resource is wasted during critical testing cycles.
- Enhanced Manual Test Execution: features give test managers and testers a way to track and execute manual tests. All test assignments and status reports are available on the personal dashboard, testers no longer need to navigate to separate activities panes for updates.
- Cloud Ready Apps: added support for Java, Java over HTTP, Silverlight, and Flex/AMF3.
- Mobile Enablement: Silk Performer now supports performance testing of mobile web and native applications with out-of-the-box profiles for popular mobile devices and application types. This extensive support makes it easier to isolate and fix issues and gives users the option to test both HTTP and HTML mobile native applications.

I found this ceramic brownstone jug very unique in design,and color. Actually, it's a miriad of colors,ranging in tone of brown to peach,yellow,then tan. When in sunlight it is most beautiful,and that is the lighting I have used here for my pictures. When I read about this particular item,the story behind this ceramic piece is fasinating,to say the least ! From what I understand,this ceramic jug was once used to carry Holy Water from the artesian springs to the people of the villages in tiny islands in the pacific. This piece was hand made,and then the piece was finished on a potter's wheel, then the bottom was cut with a copper wire. You can see the wheel turning marks,and the cut mark from the wire on the bottom of the jug. This ceramic piece is marked no.66 ~ Also, there is an insignia which was hand stamped by artisans of the village. The mark has a symbol of a phoenix,and the wording "SELTER NASSAU" It is approx 11 1/2" h x 3" diam on the bottom. The top of the opening is 1/2" ..... I hope you enjoy viewing this piece as much as I have enjoyed owning it.
My Sister gave it to my Father,as she didn't think it was worth much. Then my Father gave it to me.


text: _____ From: kwlug-disc-bounces at kwlug.org To: KWLUG discussion Sent: Wed May 12 11:40:12 2010 Subject: Re: [kwlug-disc] Go Daddy Backorder? In general terms, you can use freshdrop.net to catch a lot of these domains before they expire. But looks to be too late now. The domain initial goes into a vague domain redemption period where the original owner can re-register it. Once that term expires - could be 1-3 months, then the domain drops and becomes available for registration. Domain drops are a big, nasty business these days so you're swimming with the sharks with all the technology if you try a domain catching service (i.e. namejet.com, which for $69 will put an order in to catch the domain as soon as it moves from the redemption period). So that's also risky. So - the end result is that as already noted, call the guy in toronto. Pay him to re-register the domain and the pay him to buy it from him. If you wait until the domain becomes available (won't be today) then you're up against a lot of people and may not get it. To get the guy's info, do a whois talar.com from your command line. One other word of advice, if you actually want the domain, don't go fishing with the offer. That can turn sour. g.

There are worse ways, I suppose, to elect members to the Hall of Fame than locking a few dozen voters in a room, letting them argue and then voting on the matter. You could, for instance, throw darts at a board. Or draw numbers from a hat.
Actually, my problem with the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting isn't just the manner it's voted on. It's that there's no true basis for electing in this game. Baseball has numbers. Basketball has numbers. Football? It's so subjective. Did the great receiver have a great quarterback? Was the running back made by the line? Was the defensive player a product of the system as much as his talent?
This is a roundabout way to say I'm mystified that Bob Kuechenberg isn't in the Hall. Talk to players on the '72 team (my credentials: I wrote a book on the '72 team) and they'll tell you he might have been their best lineman. Larry Little and Jim Langer, of course, are in the Hall. So that tells you where Kooch stands. But those great '72 teams weren't the end Kuechenberg's portfolio. It's just the beginning. It's one of the great stories of the Dolphins and, in fact, tells a story of the league.
But rather than cite chapter and verse again on why Kuechenberg belongs in the Hall, I'm going to reprint here a column I wrote before the Hall of Fame vote in 2004. Here it goes:
Let's start with the arm. It was broken. It had the bone marrow drilled out by doctors. It had a 10-inch alloy rod pounded in to straighten it. Then it was wrapped in a foam pad before the Super Bowl 30 years ago, and the pad was wrapped in a plaster cast, which was then beat to a powdery mush by halftime against Minnesota defensive tackle Alan Page.
"He did what?" asked New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi, who had spent the previous 20 minutes discussing whether a calf injury would keep him from Sunday's game. The story of Bob Kuechenberg's arm was repeated.
"I've never heard anything like that," he said.
You figure you're getting old when you start thinking they don't make things like they used to. Morals. Movies. Music. Maybe even politicians.
But you can agree just by hearing what Kuechenberg did in the Dolphins' last Super Bowl win, in the previous Super Sunday in Houston, that they don't make football players like they used to. And that's only half his story lost in the cobwebs from that day.
They vote on Kuechenberg for the Hall of Fame again today, and you can take up the cause by noting only two Hall of Fame offensive linemen played longer, only three were involved in more wins and none played in more Super Bowls. You can mention his eight All-Pro seasons. You can say when the Dolphins needed a tackle, he moved from guard and became an All-Pro tackle, or when they needed a long-snapper he taught himself to do it.
You can re-hash the numbers like that, or even tell about the time he threw Mercury Morris' sound box out of the team bus because it was disturbing him or the game he threw rookie Ed Newman out of the huddle because he was missing assignments.
Or you can take the short-cut and just talk about his contribution to Super Bowl VIII.
Everyone talks of Larry Csonka's then-Super-Bowl-record 145 yards rushing from that day. They talk of Bob Griese passing just seven times. It's past time to talk of Kuechenberg.
There was the arm, which he had broken on the opening kickoff of the second-to-last game of the season. He left the game after the opening touchdown drive. Doctors said his season was done.
"I'm playing in the playoffs," he told them, "and it's up to you to figure how."
He inherited the toughness gene. His father was a champion bull-rider, a boxer with a 27-3 record and a human cannonball who once broke his neck in the family circus. His uncle then substituted for his father, though the cannon wasn't adjusted for the change in weight. So instead of flying into a net, the uncle smashed head-first into a Ferris wheel. His face was split open. Most every bone was broken. But he lived.
As much as what playing with that broken arm showed about Kuechenberg, what he discovered about Page offered more strategically to the win. Kuechenberg had a ritual. After practice, he would lift weights, grab a beer from the coaches' refrigerator and then watch film on his defensive opponent.
Page, a Hall of Famer, was in his prime, one year removed from becoming the first defensive player to be named the league's MVP. But Kuechenberg noticed, watching film, that whenever Page stunted to the inside his stance would put his left leg a fraction further back to get more leverage.
"An offensive lineman, guard or tackle, can't get beat to the inside. "But Page was so incredibly fast, if you stepped to the inside to stop that area he could beat you outside. If you played straight up, he'd beat you inside all day long."
He called offensive line coach Monte Clark to look. Clark wasn't as excited. He told Kuechenberg to block by the playbook. On the Dolphins' first drive 30 years ago, Kuechenberg noticed Page's left leg back but blocked straight up and got beat to the inside. Page nearly took the handoff from Griese. He threw Jim Kiick for a 5-yard loss.
"I said, `Screw it, I'm going to do what I know is right,'" Kuechenberg said.
That was the end of Page's day. He was involved in no more tackles and became so frustrated that he was ejected late in the game for a cheap shot on Griese. The Dolphins scored touchdowns on their first two drives. Two touchdowns run right over Kuechenberg. They held the ball for two-thirds of the game and won 24-7.
Then, a few weeks later, the doctors broke three instruments pulling the rod from Kuechenberg's arm. He kept it, stirring drinks with it for unsuspecting guests at his home. When asked where he got such an unusual drink-stirrer, he would look down at it and provide an answer that, as another Super Sunday arrives, shows how few things are like they once were:
"From my arm."
There are worse ways, I suppose, to elect members to the Hall of Fame than locking a few dozen voters in a room, letting them argue and then voting on the matter. You could, for instance, throw darts at a board. Or draw numbers from a hat.

NCAA Division III East Regional Tournament homepage
NCAA Division III Championship Tournament information
BOSTON, Mass. – Less than 24 hours after winning their third straight Little East Conference crown, the 20th ranked Beacons of UMass Boston (26-4) found out who they will be facing in the 2011 NCAA Division III East Regional tournament. As the number two seed in this year's tournament the Beacons will be facing the New York University-Polytechnic (23-14), who is the seventh seed, on Friday, November 11 at 12:30 p.m. at Springfield College's Blake Arena.
The meeting will mark the second between the two programs this season, with UMass earning a 3-0 victory on October 1 as part of the Stevens Institute of Technology Ducks Invitational. The Beacons will be making their third straight NCAA tournament appearance on Friday, while the Fighting Blue Jays will be their second consecutive first-round appearance after winning the Skyline Conference this weekend with their 3-2 victory over Mount Saint Mary.
All-time the Beacons currently carry 4-1 record in the NCAA East Region tournament. Last season, UMass went the distance defeating all three opponents, including the host Pride of Springfield College to earn the program's first East Region title and first National Championship tournament appearance.
Led by seventh year head coach Terry Condon, the Beacons are looking to repeat as the regional champions and make a serious run in the national tournament. Condon, who was named a two-time AVCA New England Regional Coach of the Year, has led UMass to four-straight 25+ wins season. In 2009 and 2010 the Beacons recorded a program best 30 victories.
When it comes to this year's tournament, Condon will look to junior All-American Shannon Thompson (Moorpark, Calif.) to lead the Beacons back to the promise land. The Little East Conference tournament MVP, Thompson is currently ranked as one of the top-hitters in Division III women's volleyball. With her 4.24 kills per set, Thompson is ranked ninth in the country, while her 5.15 points per set ranks her eighth overall. Over the weekend, Thompson combined for 31 kills to earn her second straight tournament MVP honors. In both matches, the 6-2 hitter recorded a double-double as she also tallied 23 digs.
Also adding depth to the Beacons offense which is ranked third in the nation in kills per set with 13.76 will be Molly Rattigan (Dorchester, Mass.) and Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.). Rattigan's .427 hitting percentage ranks her fourth in the country, and was the conference leader throughout most of the 2011 season. On the year Rattigan has combined for 244 kills, while also scoring 88 total blocks. Morrison, perhaps played the best tournament of her very young career this past weekend. Currently ranked fourth on the team with 174 kills, Morrison made a strong bid for Little East Conference Rookie of the Year honors in the final three weeks of the regular season.
Sophomore Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) has also had another strong season for UMass as she is ranked second in kills with 287 and digs with 270. Her 39 aces currently leads the team, with two of those coming in the championship match on Sunday.
Proving to be the foundation to the Beacons potent offense is senior setter Cassy Hanneman (Denver, Co.). With a combined 1,067 assists, Hanneman is ranked amongst the top setters in all of Division III women's volleyball. In the Little East Conference tournament, Hanneman combined for 91 total assists in the 3-1 win over Keene State and 3-0 win over Plymouth State.
Defensively, Thompson leads UMass in total blocks with 97 (1.00 blk/s). Junior Kayla Wilson has emerged as the team's top digs earner combined for 310 in her first season in Boston. Wilson has also proven to be dangerous from the end-line scoring 28 of the Beacons 226 service aces.
In the other first round matches No. 3 Bowdoin College (26-2) will take on No. 6 Baruch University (24-10) at 3 p.m. No. 4 Tufts University (25-5) will take on No. 5 Roger Williams University (28-3) at 5:30 p.m. No. 1 Springfield College (31-2) will host No. 8 Westfield State University (15-20) at 8 p.m.
The winner of the UMass Boston/NYU-Poly will face the winner of Bowdoin/Baruch at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, while the winner of Tufts/Roger Williams will face-off against the winner of Springfield/Westfield State at 6 p.m.
The championship match will be played on Sunday, with the start time scheduled for 4 p.m.
There will be two different tickets available for this weekend's tournament. The prices for a single-day pass are \$6 for adults, \$4 for students and seniors (+65), and \$3 for children 12 and under. A weekend pass is priced at \$12 for adults, \$10 for students and seniors (+65), and \$7 for children 12 and under.

Eerie Footage Shows 'Ghost' Leaving Body After Fatal Crash
Well this is eerie.
A video has gone viral of a fatal motorcycle accident in Thailand - but it is what the CCTV camera picked up after the incident that caught our attention.
The tragic accident between the ute and a motorcycle killed the passenger on the bike instantly, but just seconds later a 'ghost'-like figure can be seen hovering over the deceased.
As panic and mania surround the scene, the floating image can be seen for a number of seconds before disappearing.
Doubters have been quick to call foul on the video, claiming it is merely photoshop.
But could this be proof of an afterlife, of a soul leaving the body of the deceased?
What do you think?
Watch the full video clip here - however, be warned it does contain graphic content.
The video has been viewed over 400k times in the past fortnight.

Yes, we know—when the FCC puts out a press release (PDF) titled "Columbia Institute for Tele-Information to Conduct Independent Review of Telecom Capital Expenditures to Assist FCC," the eyeballs begin to glaze and the limbs feel suddenly heavy. But this one's worth rousing the brain for, because the FCC announcement means that the agency is taking a close look at just how much investment ISPs make in their broadband lines.
The FCC's National Broadband Plan is due to Congress next February, and the agency just launched the first of its 20 different staff-led workshops into all aspects of US broadband. The FCC is looking beyond its walls, too, already commissioning studies about worldwide broadband deployment and usage from Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society (of which Charles Nesson, the Harvard Law professor who recently represented file-swapper Joel Tenenbaum, was a cofounder).
Now, the FCC is asking Columbia's Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) to do an outside review of "projected deployment of new and upgraded networks to help inform the FCC's efforts in developing the National Broadband Plan."
This analysis won't be a mere economic examination of work that might be paid for by the government, either; CITI "will provide an analysis of the public statements of companies as to their future plans to deploy and upgrade broadband networks" but will also do a "historical evaluation of the relationship between previous such announcements and actual deployment."
Genachowski has promised an FCC decision-making process that is driven by data, and in commissioning the two studies, he appears interested in taking a hard look at two common complaints about US Internet service: 1) that some other countries are doing much better in terms of both speed and competition and 2) that, because of this perceived lack of meaningful competition, US ISPs have turned broadband into a cash cow without making enough investment in faster speeds or better technologies.
If today's press release sounds dry, it is—but ISPs have gotten the message and are already going public to defend their record of investment. Comcast points out that it previously pledged to upgrade 65 percent of its coverage area to 50Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 by the end of 2009; in an announcement today, the company raised that target to 80 percent (and it plans 100 percent coverage by the end of 2010). Translation: we're investing! (Which should be easy to do when you just announced a 4.5 percent increase in quarterly revenue, as the company did today.)
Most of the large cable companies are in a decent infrastructure position. Having already built out hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) systems a decade ago, there's plenty of bandwidth in the system, and relatively inexpensive DOCSIS upgrades at the headend can provide major speed boosts. That's one of the reasons that, for operators like Time Warner, broadband costs are going down even as revenue continues to rise. Nothing wrong with that, of course, unless you try to claim that broadband costs are soaring and thus prices must be raised.
Coming in for more criticism are the telcos, except for Verizon, which is deploying fiber to the home across its service area. But none of the other major players are doing so, at most offering some fiber to the node schemes increase speeds marginally. Yet companies like AT&T are basically minting money; the company pulled in $12.9 billion in profit in 2009 alone, up from $4.8 billion in 2005. As an AT&T customer, numbers like this always make me wonder why I'm not surfing the Internet from a 100Mbps fiber-optic line—or at least something faster than 6Mbps DSL.
CITI's analysis dovetails nicely with the work that the Berkman Center is doing. Together, the two reports should give us a nice picture of just how the US stacks up to other countries, what the true costs of broadband deployment and upgrade are, and whether some companies have gone into "harvest mode" on their lines.

Ad war erupts over meaning of 'jihad' in U.S.
'It's reprehensible to put a happy face on mass murder'
An advertising war has erupted over just what the Muslim word "jihad" means in America and why it's important not to let the term be sugarcoated.
And the latest volley in the battle is both sly and stunning.
The most recent flare-up began with a controversial series of advertisements from the American Freedom Defense Initiative on New York subway station clocks. The ads depicted the burning towers of 9/11 and a Quran quote: "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers" (3:151).
Pamela Geller, the group's executive director, believes the clock ads convey an important message about the immediate danger of jihad.
"Metaphorically it's so powerful," she explains in a new column on WND. "The clock is ticking, from a civilizational point of view. Bombs, at least in movies, tick and are set off by clocks. The urgency of our message is mirrored in the placement."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, however, called the ads "Islamophobic" and "bigotry" and responded with a series of bus advertisements of its own designed to put a more America-friendly spin on the Islamic practice of jihad.
When asked by WND if she was spreading Islamophobia, Geller said, "Truth is not a phobia. As soon as Muslims stop quoting the Quran and invoking Islam's traditional doctrine of jihad to justify violence, I will stop calling attention to what they do."
CAIR's advertisements link to a site called MyJihad.org and portray "jihad" as merely a person's goal or ambition, showing smiling Muslims and such innocuous struggles as staying fit or building friendships.
"My jihad is not to judge people by their cover," states one ad. "What's yours?"
Geller, however, claims the CAIR ads are "designed to distract from and obscure the true meaning of jihad."
The word "jihad" is defined by Muslim apologists as the personal struggle of the individual believer against evil and persecution, yet it is also the term for a religious war against infidels undertaken by Muslims, a holy obligation often cited by terrorists as the reason for their violence.
"Freedom fighters have successfully educated the American people about the most brutal and extreme system of governance, the Shariah: Americans know how inhuman it is, and Muslim Brotherhood operatives are still reeling from that stunning defeat," Geller explains. "So now they hope to whitewash jihad? That's oceans of blood they would have to conceal. Oceans of blood."
Now Geller announces the latest volley in the advertising war, a series of bus ads that will recast the "MyJihad" banners according to the word's other definition.
"'Jihad, holy fighting in Allah's cause, with full force of numbers and weaponry, is … and obligation and duty in Islam on every Muslim' – Times Square bomber Faisal Shazad," reads one of the new AFDI ads. "That's my jihad. What's yours?"
Another pictures Osama bin Laden, accompanied by one of his quotes: "'The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.' That's my jihad. What's yours?"
Still another variation in includes a victim's description of the Fort Hood mass murder by Major Nidal Hassan: "Reloading, firing again, reloading, firing again, while screaming Allahu Akbar.' That's my jihad. What's yours?"
These new ads direct people to MyJihad.us, a web address that redirects to a page on Geller's Atlas Shrugged site.
"Our new ads depict actual jihadists carrying out their own jihads and is a truth antidote to CAIR's deceptions," Geller states. "This usage of jihad is much more influential and widespread among Muslims worldwide than the benign and whitewashed understanding of it being pushed by Hamas-tied CAIR, and the fact that some Muslims don't think of jihad as involving violence does not cancel out the fact that many do.
"It is reprehensible to put a happy face on mass murder, ethnic cleansing, honor violence and religious persecution," she continues. "Our AFDI campaign shines the light of truth to break through the fog of CAIR's deceptions."
As WND has reported, AFDI has run advertisements on buses and other public areas before in a effort to educate Americans about violent nature of jihad and the dangers of "Islamization" in America, but efforts to have them banned by court order have been defeated.

- Thu, Nov 5, 2015, 9:59 AMNo. that would be a good feature to have though wouldn't it?
- Wed, Nov 11, 2015, 12:43 AMI donn't Intallation, Can you help me???
- Thu, Jan 21, 2016, 10:42 PMHi Justin, some of my users are asking to use Poodl in a workshop. Do you have any plan for that ?
- Fri, Jan 22, 2016, 12:46 PMI don't have a plan for that. But it could be possible. I would have to look into the workshop module a bit. So it might happen, but it probably won't happen in the next month or two.
- Thu, Feb 18, 2016, 5:22 PMHello, Is it possible to limit the max recorded file size by the "Maximum submission size" Assignment setting?
- Sun, Feb 21, 2016, 2:18 PMActually .... no. This really should be implemented though. If its an mp3 audio recording, you can achieve something by limiting the time allowed to record. But thats about it.
- Wed, Jul 13, 2016, 6:10 AMHi there! Thanks for this awesome plugin! I have two questions.
1. When I tried to submit the assignment via moodle mobile app, it directed me to the browser and asked me to log on to the site to submit the assignment. Is it possible to submit within the app?
2. When I was using ios devices, I can only upload video and files to submit the assignment but not audio recording. Do you know how I can solve this problem?
Many thanks!
- Sun, Jul 17, 2016, 2:45 PMHello;
I have a brand new locally installed version of Moodle (3.0.2) and I am attempting to get video submission and playback from my Android device to work reliably.
I have the Poodll and Online Poodll filters installed. Both are the most recent versions as of this posts date.
I am using your Tokyo servers for "recording".
1. Video recording, upload and playback from my Windows 10 computer seems to be working fine.
2. On mobile (Android LG G3 phone), newly recorded video uploads are consistently failing with the error "File Could Not be Uploaded".
3. When selecting a previously recorded video to upload from the Phone's photo gallery, videos I have recorded today fail to upload, but a video I recorded on July 13 using the same phone, uploads successfully. Not sure what the difference is other than lenght and size. None of which exceed course or server settings.
Successfully upload video = 5.6MB (approx 7 seconds)
All other videos that fail, range from 6 -10 MB.
4. No videos playback on the mobile device regardless of origin. In other words, neither the one file I have been able to successfully upload from the phone will play back on the phone, nor will any videos uploaded from my computer playback on the phone.
5. However, recording, uploading and Playback seem to work fine on demo.poodll.com from my mobile device, further deepening the mystery.
Not sure what I am missing in the server configuration, but I could definitely use some feedback.
- Mon, Jul 18, 2016, 11:46 PMFor the Benefit of anyone else that might need help troubleshooting a similar issue.
I discovered that my inability to upload videos from a mobile device appears to have been related to the PHP memory limit directive (memory_limit =) in the PHI.INI file being set too low.
Default value was set to 32M. I increased value to 512M, as I would like users to be able to upload audio video content up to 300M.
Seems to be working so far.
Why this wasn't affecting video uploads from my desktop computer, I have no idea, and some clarity on this would be welcome. Perhaps it is related to Mobile browsers versus desktop in some way.
On to the next issue.
- Tue, Jul 26, 2016, 9:30 PMAnyone tried for moodle 3.1? Did it work?
- Sun, Jul 31, 2016, 8:09 PMThe PoodLL assignment submission works on 3.1 but the PoodLL Assignment Feedback needs some work still
- Mon, Sep 5, 2016, 11:22 PMHi Justin,
We have installed PoodLL assignment submission on Moodle 3.1+ but we have an issue with the gradebook. Once you click on "Grade" for an individual student, the whiteboard appears on the left-hand side of the page whether or not you have selected PoodLL as a submission type.
I have disabled the whiteboard everywhere in the site administration (including in PoodLL Filter) but it does not cure the problem. These are the plugins concerned:
assignsubmission_onlinepoodll 1.5.9 (Build 2015121101)
assignfeedback_poodll 1.0.6 (Build 2015121101)
filter_poodll 2.8.6 (Build 2016061600)
I would like to get rid of the whiteboard in the gradebook as we won't be using this feature in the assignements and it takes too much space on the screen.
Hope you can help with this : )
- Mon, Nov 21, 2016, 10:37 PMOn iOS 10 devices this plugin does not work any more. Instead of the recorder, it displays the following message: "Your OS version is too low. Android requires version 4 or greater. iOS requires version 6 or greater."
Presumably, it believes that iOS 10 is actually iOS 1.
It would be great if this issue could be addressed. Thank you.
- Fri, Dec 8, 2017, 2:28 PMIs this paid plugin?
- Mon, Jun 4, 2018, 3:53 PMSuperb website and I wanted to post a note to let you understand, "Great job"! I am glad I found this site. Your blog site has introduced me the majority of the strategies that I like. Thank you for sharing this.

A friend of mine visited Chicago recently and we were talking about his trip when he got back to DC. We chatted about various parts of the trip but the comment that struck me the most was when he said that upon mentioning the march to his gay friends there they had no idea what he was talking about. Then he asked me why the gays he talked to in the nation's third largest city had no idea what was happening here in D.C. on Oct. 11.
Not knowing how to respond I said that I'm not on the ground in Chicago so I don't know what local folks there are doing to publicize the national event. This news was troubling to both of us as we have been following this march since we both heard about it a few months ago.
Full disclosure: I was originally opposed to the idea of march on Washington when I first learned about it. I have since changed my mind and have even volunteered my time to help out with the D.C. host committee.

After being hired during the team's second week of practice last fall, Mariner High coach Chris Siner did what he could to improve the Tritons, who went 3-7 in his first season after winning only one game in 2009.
The Tritons alum is excited to now enter a season where he has directed the team through spring and summer workouts.
"It's makes a huge difference," said Siner. "I got to know the kids and they got to know me. I got to see our strengths and our weaknesses, and how each player developed."
Article Photos
Mariner senior running back Donovan McAmis runs with the ball during practice. More photos are available online at: cu.cape-coral-daily-breeze.com.
Despite the loss of two-year starting quarterback J.T. Etnoyer by transfer to Palmetto Ridge, Siner is enthusiastic about returning eight starters on offense, including the entire offensive line and a trio of runningbacks the Tritons will lean on heavily.
Senior Tyler Pigott heads the group of backs and is the "everything guy" for the Tritons, according to Siner. "Pigott has incredible work ethic, and despite being a quiet kid the players gravitate toward him. It is the way he plays the game that makes the other players follow him. When we need to make a play he's the player we turn to."
Two-year starter Donovan McAmis will start at fullback, and also take snaps at runningback. Junior Jaylen Mitchell, who will start at receiver, will see some time at runningback as well.
"Mitchell brings us speed while McAmis brings us the power. He is going to help us grind out games and control the clock," said Siner.
Taking over at quarterback is senior Andrew Torres, who started at wingback last year. Torres was impressive in the spring game, completing 6-of-6 passes, two of them for touchdowns.
Siner expects a strong season out of Torres, who has matured since becoming the team's starting quarterback, and spent all summer improving his throwing accuracy. Snapping to Torres is the Tritons' best offensive lineman, center Dominic Sansone, who leads a line that all started last season. Siner believes that unit will guide the Tritons to success this year.
"A team with a good offensive line will be in every game, and we believe this group will do that for us," said Siner.
Defensively, the Tritons return six starters, including a very talented secondary.
At safety are Pigott and Torres with Mitchell and junior Chaston Carter starting on the corners.
"Pigott has a knack for the ball at the safety spot, and Torres is a safety that plays quarterback. He'll play safety at the next level," Siner said.
Junior James Alvarez has been tabbed as the team's middle linebacker, and has big shoes to fill for last year's starter Kenny Moore is considered a key loss.
Up front are Sansone at defensive tackle, as well as Michael Logsdon, who also will start on offense at guard. Defensive end Charles Bell, at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, is expected to be the top playmaker and should provide a solid pass rush.
"We could have up to seven players starting on offense and defense at the start of the season," said Siner. "Our players will have to be tough and younger players have to step up and help if we are going to achieve our goal of making the playoffs."
The Tritons begin the season on Sept. 2 at Bishop Verot.

Here we have an RSpec set of examples for a Rails plugin which modifies ActiveResource.
I've complained about the complexity of this plugin - check the link for context - but really it's a testament to Ruby's flexibility. You can pretty much redesign ActiveResource's entire approach to HTTP connection in 137 lines of code over the course of a couple days.
Brag brag brag. That's not the point. The point is, this bit here.
This is one of the less frequently-used idioms in Ruby, but it's very handy. With it you can add methods to any arbitrary object.
Typically, the example use cases you see for "metaprogramming" are often complex and involved. My use case here was very simple: my spec wouldn't run because I didn't have a particular method on my mock; so I added the method to the mock. Boom. Done. Nothing clever, nothing deep. You need the method? Add the method. It's that simple.
Metaprogramming isn't really such a big deal.
