Are you ready to have your 2011-racing itch finally scratched? With the 2011 Formula One season getting delayed by political unrest in Bahrain, the racing community turns its attention to the opening of the 2011 American Le Mans racing season this weekend with one of the most iconic endurance races in the world, the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Always one of the most eagerly anticipated races of the year, the 12 Hours of Sebring kicks off the 2011 ALMS season in grand fashion with the reigning champs from Peugeot Sport Total ready to defend their 2010 title against a field of heavyweight contenders, including headlined perennial contender, Audi , and last year's runner-up, Aston Martin .
This year, Peugeot will be bringing the new Peugeot 908 HDi FAP to compete against the likes of the Audi R15+TDI and the Aston Martin Lola B08.
In addition to the top-of-the-field LMP1 class, the 2011 12 Hours of Sebring will also feature races from a number of different classes, including the new LMPC class, led by PR1 Mathiasen M/Sport's Oreca FLM09, and the always-competitive GT class, which has a formidable entrant in the form of the recently-revealed Risi Competizione's new Ferrari 458 GTC .
To keep you updated with all of the cars scheduled to participate in all of the weekend's races, the folks over at SpotterGuides.com have provided everything you need to know about each and every car that will see the green light this weekend. Keep tabs on some of the favorites and be on the look-out for dark horses, because this weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race is expected to be one for the books.
If you're going to keep tabs on all the action from the confines of your own home, you can watch the race in its entirety online on ESPN3.com, or if you have an Xbox, you can catch the action through live streaming. If you miss out on watching the race live, ABC will have a recap from 12:30 – 2:00 pm EST with ESPN2 airing the same recap show next Tuesday, March 22, 2011.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I love Oviatt Elem. The teachers there are great educators. They do a very good job at teaching the students and the teachers have hands on experience and are looking for ways to improve education every day!
My son is going into 3rd Greade and I have been happy with all of his teachers keeping me updated on his success in his reading and his mathmatics. I just wish they had more hands on stuff for the children and more fieldtrips to the science center and art centers around the Des Moines areas. Otherwise I would recommend this school to other parents because of the caring of the teacher that wants your children to succeed in their school career.
I give this school an overall thumbs up. My son has been given good individual attention with his reading and speech difficulties. An enthusiastic thumbs up to the current speech specialist.
My son is in 3rd grade and he loves school. He was having trouble reading in second grade and they gave him extra help by having a reading class in the morning. I think it is a wonderful school district. The teachers go the extra mile to ensure no child is left behind. I highly recommend this school!
I have two children in this school district. The only comment I have is, if your child is having any difficulty reading, do not send them to this school district. I have to pay a tutor $42.00 a hour to teach my son to read because this school district can not!

"Even in their cages, tigers pose a formidable menace to anyone ignorant of, or careless about, their lethal temperaments and capabilities. Depending on the design of a cage, a tiger will sometimes be able to extend a forepaw as much as ten or twelve inches through an open feeding slot at floor level. 'Because a tiger hunts alone,' Bobby Gibbs told me, 'every weapon it's got has to be deadly efficient.' Each of its retractable claws, for example, is independently articulated, so that, having grabbed its prey, it can drag it in, as if on a conveyor belt, without having to release its grip. 'A lion can't do that, because its claws aren't fully retractable and because they all work together. If it grabs you through the cage bars and wants to pull you in,
it has to release its grip every time it moves farther along your arm or leg, so you have a chance to escape. If a tiger gets even a thread of your clothing, it can have your arm or leg through the slot in a instant.'
As he spoke, Bobby grabbed my arm and, with great force,
walked the fingers of his right hand from my elbow to my shoulder. 'That's how they do it,' he said."

What you don't know is I don't have a home office or crafting room. Before Pinterest I had designed my crafting room via a pictures folder on my computer. It was nice too; I thought of everything even started picking out the furniture pieces and everything. Then we decided to have baby #2 so my cute home office crafting room became Nori's nest. Don't get me wrong, decorating her room was a fun craft project too; but that means no more home office. We had to maximize our space and get creative.
My Babe had the perfect idea for me and my crafts and so we got to work. We decided to customize an Ikea wall unit we have in our living room that was sitting empty. Here is what the nicely organized wall unit had become.
I forgot to snap a picture before I started moving stuff around; here is a picture in the midst of some early movement.
My unit consists of:
2 short shelves 4 additional regular shelves
2 slide out drawers with a flat surface
1 pull out drawer with multiple sections
I have clear sorting boxes to hold my sorted embellishments.
The pink w/polka dot boxes I got from Michael's years ago.
You can see the boy version of those same boxes on the far right.
I love my space, I'm going to add in light, my vision board, and I need a dope chair. I can't wait to go looking.

The Impact of Fitness on Vascular Dysfunction in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

The principal hypothesis of this study is that the micro and macro vasculature of young diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) patients is particularly susceptible to atherogenic factors which cause vascular dysfunction at multiple levels of the arterial vasculature and that this dysfunction is demonstrable using state-of-the-art ultrasound methods. The investigators further hypothesize that interventions, such as exercise, that are readily integrated into the daily life of individuals with DM1 can mitigate or reverse these early vascular changes and thereby diminish the otherwise predictable longer-term development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in type 1 DM

What's next for Dan Henderson?
Many felt an all-out, five-round, epic with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 139 and returning to the Octagon as Strikeforce light heavyweight champion would put Hendo on the fast track to a UFC title shot against Jon Jones.
But now, four months later, he's still in limbo, waiting for his next fight.
Jones was already tied up with a scheduled title defense against Lyoto Machida at UFC 140, which he won. He then had to honor a promised shot to former teammate Rashad Evans. The two will square off in April at UFC 145 in Atlanta.
Henderson, of course, doesn't want to sit on the sidelines. He's always been a fighter that excels when he stays busy.
Having long fought at the highest levels in both the light heavyweight and middleweight classes – and even stepping up to heavyweight on occasion – Henderson isn't overly picky. He'll take the shot at whoever holds the light heavyweight belt or the middleweight strap, at least according to UFC president Dana White.
"He wants a title fight. He either wants Anderson Silva or whoever has the belt at 185 or the winner of Evans and Jones," White said at the recent UFC on Fox 3 press conference in New York City. "Last time I talked to Henderson, he wanted to wait to fight one of these guys for the title."
Henderson held belts in two different weight classes during his Pride tenure, has worn the Strikeforce light heavyweight strap, and even won a UFC tournament in the company's pre-Zuffa days, but he has yet to capture a modern-day UFC title.
More MMA
Henderson failed in unifying the Pride 185 and 205-pound belts with then-UFC champions Anderson Silva and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, respectively.
In the twilight years of his storied career, however – he is now 41 years of age – Henderson doesn't need to face the flavor of the day. In short, he wants a title shot. He wants to add at least one UFC strap to his collection.
"He'll fight whoever has that belt," said White, musing on situation. "Dan doesn't seem too picky, I think he would fight Chael Sonnen (if he won the belt from Silva)."
The likelihood is that he will get a shot at the winner of Jones and Evans. They're fighting April 21, while Silva isn't likely to defend his belt until June or July, with Sonnen slated as the opponent.
For now, however, if Henderson wants a title shot, he will have to wait on the sidelines for at least one of those fights to play out.

As long as Hendo stays in fighting condition he could get a title shot sooner than later, if Evans gets hurt he can step up to fight jones, sonnen gets injured he can fight silva, or if silva stays injured he could fight sonnen for an interim strap. Either way, I understand him waiting for a shot. He's 41. He can't be Jon jones and fight 4 elite fighters a year.
I am happy he is going to wait. I want to see Hendo come out in title fight form at least one more time. I would rather see him fight Silva or Sonnen then the bigger fellas. Cant wait to see what happens.
I think Hendo has the Ken Flo curse and will always be number 2. I like the guy, but really the Shogun fight was the highlight of his career. I don't think he won the Franklin fight, Bisping is an over-hyped chump, and Fedor was just waiting to fall. Hendo is old and has a small gas tank. I think Sonnen would be a great fight for him, but I think Jones and Silva will handle him easily, like Shields did. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a title shot, but I'd be very surprised if he left with either belt. But if anybody has a punchers chance, its Dan Henderson.
Obviously he doesn't. He had two titles in Pride and one in Strikeforce. Hendo Just hasn't gotten his UFC belt. I hope it's against Jones.
I like Hendo too much to want to see what Jones will do to him. I imagine it will be much like what Jones did to Shogun. And Anderson has already choked him once, I'm sure he'll be happy to do it again.
Um, I disagree with the comparison….Florian was done since the 1st time he stepped into the octagon….plus he is BORING to watch,,,
Florian boring to watch? whoever is opposition13, LAY OFF THE CRACK! KenFlo excited in his win over Guida, over Din Thomas, over Gomi, over Stevenson, Huerta, Lauzon. His fight against BJ was boring and same with Aldo. Other than that, to call him a boring fighter is assinine.
Hendo will always have a "puncher's chance" with his right hand, but I cannot see him with the belt at this point in either division. He doesn't have the gas tank, and he does not react well to getting hit anymore.
Even if Hendo somehow landed a right on Jones or Silva and won the belt, I think it would be a fluke and he would lose it immediately. Any top 5 LHW or MW who takes him into deep waters will most likely beat him. Plus, I think he has the potential for a Rampage style burn out. I think he may have found some new motivation of late, but when he went to Strikeforce, I think he was collecting a check. That will most likely come back when he faces some conflict.
Yes Doctor KBEsq,…..nad you are such an expert since when? Id like to see a picture of you license…
I know deep down inside Bisping is terrified, but why not
Hendo/Bisping 2. If Bisping would have beaten Sonnen, he would have got a shot at Anderson. He claims he won and lets face it, Hendo is in line and beat his ass the first time. In my opinion Bisping has to go through Hendo to get to Anderson. It would be a number one contender bout and win win for the fans. Everyone would love to see Bisping sleeping again, and if Bisping won he would get that shot at the title.
He's not great at MW he really needs to stay at LHW and fight Jones/Evans winner. He'll have his "punchers chance" as a lot on some of these comments sections say but his gas tank is much better and he's much more effective at LHW in general. I'm a huge Hendo fan and want to see him win but I think (as weird as it sounds) LHW is his best chance because that's when he's at his best.

For my son's afternoon snack, we usually give him some vegetable crackers, a banana, and a cup of low-sodium V8. To us, this seemed like a really healthy snack, as it gets a serving of fruit and a serving of vegetables (via the V8) into his system. Yet I was almost yelled at yesterday for giving my son vegetable juice because the calories are "empty." I asked for any sort of evidence or proof of this and received another blast of rhetoric. So I'm asking you: does this seem like an unreasonable afternoon snack for an 18 month old boy?

A visiting German farm worker had to be cut free from the mangled wreckage of his car after a head-on collision with another vehicle on a rural road near Masterton yesterday morning.
Fabian Peter, 21, was taken to Wellington Hospital with significant leg injuries he received in the smash, which had happened on the Te Ore Ore Bideford Rd about 8.20am yesterday.
The impact of the crash had slammed the motor of Mr Peter's Holden Astra back in to the cab of the vehicle and he had narrowly escaped more serious injuries, Masterton Station Officer Mike Cornford said.
Firefighters cut the doors from the vehicle and partially rolled back the roof, he said, using hydraulic rams to force the motor back toward the engine bay.
"He was fairly extensively trapped and had some significant leg injuries," Mr Cornford said.
"The motor had been pushed back and his legs were caught in the footwell and under the steering column. He was actually quite lucky and could have had a lot worse injuries."
Paramedics had given Mr Peter first response treatment and stabilised him while he was cut from the wreckage. He had been conscious and talking with his rescuers throughout his ordeal, Mr Cornford said.
A Life Flight Westpac rescue helicopter airlifted Mr Peter from the crash site to Wellington Hospital, where he was late yesterday listed in a stable condition.
Mr Peter arrived in New Zealand in March as a Willing Worker on Organic Farms (WWOOF) and had been working at the Bowlands farm - owned by Wairarapa Federated Farmers president Jamie Falloon - bordering the stretch of road where the crash occurred yesterday.
Mr Falloon said Mr Peter had been working at Bowlands for the past week and had been planning on moving to another farm at the end of the week. Now he would instead be returning home to Germany once he was well enough.
He said Mr Peter had been also on a Martinborough farm and was working his way through the country "getting an experience of real rural New Zealand".
He said Mr Peter had received a deep cut to his leg and had chipped a bone in his lower leg, for which he was to undergo surgery. Mr Falloon applauded the fire, police and medical and rescue crews for their work at the crash scene and said Mr Peter was "very lucky" to have come away without more serious injuries.
Mr Falloon said he knew the woman driver involved, who lived down the road, and the crash had left her badly shaken.
Senior Constable Harvey Pope was at the scene yesterday morning and said the woman had been treated at the scene for shock and taken to Wairarapa Hospital for further assessment.
A serious crash unit investigation was launched and an officer was gathering evidence yesterday.

I have a new favorite thing in the wonderful world of technology, you guys. My brother introduced me to GroupMe the other day, which allows you to group-text for free! It's pretty straightforward: You just add a handful of friends to a group and start texting, and the texts show up all from one number on your phone, like a private chatroom over SMS. Better yet? You can even dial the number they assign to your group to conference call the entire group. Talk about PARTY IN YOUR POCKET!
My circle of friends and I have already been texting up a storm. It's kind of like having a Google group mailing list. Or… an apple corer. Before you have it, you don't even know what you're missing out on. But once you do, it's endlessly useful.
I can only imagine how practical it'd be for roommates and families. ("I locked myself out — is anyone home?" "Whose mittens are my apartment?") Or coworkers. Or your ultimate frisbee league. Or anyone, really. You should probably get it now.
Thanks Teresa!

The future of Philip Seymour Hoffman's work
Look at Philip Seymour Hoffman's IMDb bio and you'll see not only a tremendously accomplished actor, but also a very prolific one – the veteran character actor has 63 credits to his name. Naturally, that includes several that are still in production. In the wake of his sudden death on Sunday, that leaves producers with some difficult, sad decisions to make about whether to recast, cancel, or move forward with what they have.
One role of Hoffman's that will sadly probably never see the light of day is the Showtime television drama "Happyish." In his first regular television role, Hoffman starred as Thom Payne, an ad executive given the "gift of insignificance" on his birthday.
"It is hard to imagine a way in which it could go on," a source told E! Online. "His role would have to be recast and there weren't any other actors in serious consideration aside from Philip. If the show does move forward, the premiere would be delayed as pilot would need to be reshot."
Philip Seymour Hoffman's work in the "Hunger Games" sounds like a more complicated problem. His role as Plutarch Heavensbee is small but crucial, and with "Mockingjay" parts 1 and 2 still in production, rewrites could be required. According to E! Online, Hoffman's work on "Mockingjay: Part 1″ was "substantially complete," but he still had 7 days left to shoot on part 2.

Gravesilence said...
I think the problem is that for the last two or three expansions we have had enemies in the face of which the hatred of alliance for horde or horde for alliance seemed quaint. When you are faced with the massed armies of the burning crusade or the undead scourge, how could heroic members of either faction not turn and face the real enemy - and in BC and to a lesser extent Lich King we did that. Cataclysm sort of slid to one side on the grounds that there was a period of time between the defeat of the lich king and the attacks by Deathwing and his minions - time enough for war to break out, which continued even when Ragnoros and Deathwing started smashing things up.
That is why Pandaria is a good idea; there isn't a word threatening enemy there, or not one i've seen so far (possibly the sha, but who knows). We simply go to a new land, explore it, help out our new buddies (Pandarians and Jinyu/Hozen), take care of long running problems (mandits and those other guys) and then go home. There wouldn't seem to be any overarching neutral faction that would require us to team up (there are nuetral factions, but we are trying to ally with them, not follow their leadership), and more importantly, no world destroying threat that requires the horde and alliance to team up. So an increase in warfare between the two sides seems natural.

Bike NOT recommened for Nica
Submitted by Mark on Mon, 2010/05/03 - 14:41.
I picked up a decent used Trek bike just recently and walked right past this baby without even noticing it-so I am not at all into vintage bikes. The owner said it was an Indian from 1950 so I took one look and bought it for $40 bucks. Is in great shape-now I have to figure what I am going to do with it.

Dassault Aviation announced today that it has joined the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D engines, wings and fuselage of the first Falcon 8X, paving the way for initial power-on and the start of ground tests. First electrical power-on is expected at the end of this month, in line with the production and test schedule. Dassault expects to fly the 8X trijet early next year, with certification slated for mid-2016 and initial deliveries anticipated by the end of 2016.

The EASA issued a long-awaited notice of proposed amendment (NPA) on Thursday that would allow commercially operated single-engine turbine aircraft to fly at night and in IMC throughout Europe. EASA regulators said that some member states, as well as third-country operators, already allow some of their operators to conduct commercial single-engine IFR (SEIFR) flights under an exemption to EU-OPS rules, creating an "uneven playing field."
Airbus Helicopters will lead the design of a compound rotorcraft demonstrator dubbed "LifeRCraft" (low-impact, fast and efficient rotorcraft) as part of Europe's recently launched Clean Sky 2 Joint Technology Initiative. The LifeRCraft architecture combines a main rotor for vertical takeoff and landing, fixed wings for energy-efficient lift and open propellers for speed. The company will use experience gained on its X3 compound demonstrator between 2010 and 2013.
The French BEA accident investigation branch determined that the pilot's failure to de-ice before departure led to the takeoff crash of a Beechcraft Premier in France on March 4 last year that killed the pilot and one passenger. This was one of four Premier accidents last year that took a total of 11 lives.
NBAA launched a weather subcommittee, which will focus on improvements in aviation weather information and flight safety, yesterday at the Friends & Partners of Aviation Weather forum in Washington, D.C. Among those on hand for the launch were FAA NextGen assistant administrator Ed Bolton, National Weather Service aviation branch manager Cyndie Abelman, FAA Air Traffic Organization senior meteorologist Kevin Johnston, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen and NBAA weather subcommittee chairman Dr. Bruce Carmichael.
Andrew Taylor, executive chairman of Enterprise Holdings and an advocate for business aviation, will be a featured opening-session speaker at this year's NBAA Convention, which will be held from October 21 to 23 in Orlando, Fla. "We are pleased that Andrew will share his perspectives on how business aviation has supported the growth of his company and helped it be more efficient, productive and successful in a highly competitive global marketplace," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen.
The FAA issued an emergency Notam today that prohibits the flight of all U.S. air carriers and commercial operators, U.S.-registered aircraft and FAA-certificated airmen into and out of Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, for a minimum of 24 hours. The ban does not apply to U.S.-registered aircraft operated by foreign carriers. The move comes after a rocket fired from Gaza landed within a mile of the airport, destroying a residence.
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) tapped Jonathan Archer, a 24-year aviation industry veteran, as its new director of engineering and airworthiness. Archer most recently provided key support for the FAA and the Joint Planning and Development Office as an associate with Booz Allen Hamilton. His work included facilitating an FAA aviation certification service pilot study implementing a voluntary safety management system for select Part 21-approved design and manufacturing organizations.
Kitplane company Sonex Aircraft announced that its JSX-2 SubSonex Personal Jet flew on July 10. The initial goal of the flight-test program was to evaluate the single-engine jet's systems, flight controls, gear and overall aircraft geometry, and handling through moderately high speeds. A second flight checked the function of the retractable landing gear and explored higher speeds.
Bombardier Aerospace recently completed a non-temperature-restricted bleedless auxiliary power unit starting test, following a 10-hour cold soak at -40 degrees F and using a starter/generation system and lithium-ion battery system. The Safran Microturbo e-APU system included a starter generator and power electronics from Thales and a Saft Li-ion battery system. The prototype equipment was designed for business jets, Bombardier said. The tests were conducted at the Safran Turbomeca cold-chamber facility in Pau, France.

We're not all connoisseurs of art. We don't appreciate animation for its aesthetically pleasing visuals or its groundbreaking technology. It's time to be honest with ourselves: we're just a bunch of dirty birds. We find sick joy in finding adult humor in G-rated movies that studios like Disney and Pixar churn out for a demographic that doesn't include broke post-college stoners sitting on an old couch in their grandma's basement.
The animators and writers probably feel some sort of connection with us, too. They're the ones who are constantly throwing us a bone, so to speak. They give us sex jokes that fly over kids' heads and right into our face, and we thank them for that.
Inspired by the newest kid-friendly flick, The Nut Job, we've collected some of the best adult-humor throwaways and images that we still can't believe made it past the censors. Nut Job does, after all, already have something that sounds like a sex act built into the title. Enjoy as we ruin your childhood.

I do wish that they would tell you the locations of pokemon for yellow other than that great:) Oh and can you please add search seriously

This app has more than a few problems and is not worth wasting your money on. These problems include Alot of misding dex info. The dex info that does show up only shows half of what the entry says For x/y only the front male nonshiny sprite shows up The
(67 stars)
I would rate this higher if I didint pay for it but I did and I think the main thing they need is some kind of pokemon search tab and maybe shiny forms for mega evolutions

I just needed an evolution helper and now I get more.

I hate it
(67 stars)
This app has already been insanely useful, however I feel it is missing one key feature that other poke apps have even free ones. It needs the ability to search for pokemon that learn/have an ability/move when you are looking at a move or ability.
(67 stars)
Love what you're doing with the app, but I'm noticing a bug when I swipe through the pokemon profiles where the pokemon pictures are correct, but the profiles themselves are wrong and then the app crashes or lags. Please fix and I'll give five stars. Als

Watch the British version… 100x better
Zachry, its trash. Deal with it.
I thought it was so realistic. I'm 20 and I know what it's very close to reality. SORRY FOLKS BUT DEAL WITH IT.
Nat, i think what you meant to say is that skins was a poor portrayal of your life. This seemed like a pretty accurate portrayal of some teenagers' lives (probably not most)
I thought it was a poor portrayal of real teenage life. I'm a junior in high school and I don't do drugs and i'm not sex crazed or anything. I feel like this show glamorizes sex and drugs. Its just not all teenagers do. Yes we do drugs and have sex but to some extent.
The Brittish version is so much better. Watch that instead. I don't know why we have to create crappy American versions of good shows instead of just playing them on our channels. I hate the american version and I feel like they stole a show I love and are passing it off as their own idea. Its disgraceful.
I can't believe you guys even like this show! I guess non of you are parents yet. Drugs, sex….yea that's exactly what teenagers need to see. Is this how it is in a real life or not, but by showing that stupid show you are agreeing with that. What happen to "live above the influence"???
These reviews criticize this show for its phoniness, and while I agree that the US version is bad, the UK version was great. It just has to be taken in context; it is a television show, meant for entertainment. I just graduated senior high school and am now a freshman at university, and I distinctly remember going to a few parties like the ones on UK skins. So while skins didn't mirror my life, it definitely portrays a reality of teenagers in the US and UK.
I think it's hard to expect a British show about British teens to apply to US teens, sorry but it works in the UK and we love it, but I was curious so watched a bit of the US version and it's exactly the same script but it didn't work some how, I don't know why they didn't just show the British version instead of copying it, we don't have British remakes of 90210 or Gossip Girl we just watch them because we like them as American. I hope they don't make the US Shameless as bad, to be honest I don't see how the show can be good without James McAvoy
I just watched it and thought it was great, the lead male is hottt!
I only watched the end of the US version and just as i predicted i was sooooo very disappionted . Mtv took a perfect show and made it crap. I freaking LOVED the UK version (the orignal is always the best) When i heard that they were doing a remake i feared for the reputation of the UK versionn. I hope this show gets canceled before anyone can remember this. i just want to tell everyone not to watch. Oh yea Horrible casting. can you say WTF! (0/5 stars.)
people are so stupid sometimes. america didn't "Steal" the show. Bryan Eisley (Who created the show) hand picked the cast for the american version and wrote The Script for it. so if your saying the american one is bad its just cause you are a close minded stuck up person thats not a real fan cause a real fan would love everything the origional creator makes.
Liya, enjoy it for what it is. Go back to the UK.
The biggest reason the UK version pulled it off was because the actors were talented and believable in their roles. I tried to like the characters in the US pilot, but so many of the lines were delivered so poorly, so awkwardly, so stiffly, that it's hard not to spend the entire episode hitting your head against a desk.
I have no problem with a gritty reality show. I do have a problem with wooden acting, lazy writing, predictable plot points and a general snarkiness that makes the show unpleasantly smug about itself. Like the teenage characters it portrays, a viewer's attention span during the show will be brief. A sad yawner that will try to get by controversy because it can't make it on substance. Teens deserve better. So do adults.
what it is, is a remake gone horribly awkward. just because the original creator is behind it, does not make it awesome by default. the casting is off, the acting is terrible… the re-interpretation of the original script into american colloquialism fails miserably. maybe it works with shows like the office, but you gotta be careful when you import a show about teens, as slang/lingo is like 95% of the gauge for authenticity… and this has none. the whole endeavor seems forced, from the acting and delivery of the cast, to the setting and interactions of the characters. if you manage to like this poor excuse for television, it is because either you are a terrible judge of quality or you are a fanboy/fangirl.
Pissed off dried middle aged women, and whiney 7th graders STFU!
No one cares about what you think kids should see or not see and just cuz its not your life doesn't mean its not entertaining!
I for one, love ths show. Drugs sex, not my life. But do I care? No. Point blank the shows good to me. I love the characters, the plots! Its different than what I usually see on tv for my age group.
Gossip girl-stupid, vampire diaries- played out, skins- gold.

Why MSPP? Accepting Your Acceptance Letter!

Every now and then you need to be able to programmatically determine a file's encoding. Maybe you are writing a utility that rewrites files and you want ensure you maintain the original type. Perhaps you want to make sure that certain files have a Byte Order Marker (BOM).
If the file has a BOM, this is easy. If it doesn't... aw, crap. At that point you have to analyze the file's contents and make a judgement call based on what you see. I wrote a function to do this: Get-DTWFileEncoding
Get-DTWFileEncoding returns a System.Text.Encoding type based on the file specified.
It will also return the appropriate encoding type based on the whether or not the original file had a BOM or not.
The included sample test script will run it against the sample files:
You can download a module containing the Get-DTWFileEncoding function, along with some sample files with different encodings, here. Check out the function help and the source if you want more information on the detection algorithm.

DragonFireKai said...
The main complaint that people are having is that he's A) not considering diplomacy, B) choosing the wrong time to do it, C) not seeing the "New Horde", and D) targeting the Horde as a whole rather than just the Forsaken.
A. He tried diplomacy. It got him kidnapped by the black dragonflight, who was known to be allied with the Horde during the second war. Oh, and then he was forced to fight to the death in Orcish slave pits. That's Wrynn's experience of diplomacy with the horde. You'll forgive the man for not wanting to repeat that experience. Diplomacy is out for the Horde, that's on Rehgar Earthfury's head. Fool Wrynn once, shame on you, fool Wyrnn twice, shame on him.
B. The Lich King is the big threat, and the Alliance and the Horde need to fight him together. That was certainly true at Wrathgate, but things have changed. The Order of the Ebon Blade broke away, weakening the Lich King's forces, and strengthening the Alliance, and Tirion's back, with the Ashbringer, the blade that allowed Highlord Mograine to wage pretty much a one man war against the Scourge until his son stabbed him in the back. The odds have shifted more towards the Alliance's favor. However, what the Alliance can't survive is leaving themselves exposed to another situation like Wrathgate, where the Horde sucker punches them while the Alliance isn't looking. Wrynn would rather take his chances fighting on two fronts, and being able to defend against further Horde aggression, than take the risk of ignoring the Horde, and being wiped out by them.
C) He hasn't seen the "New Horde"? That's true, because the "New Horde" hasn't shown him anything to differentiate themselves from the Old One. In his eyes, strictly since the Third War, what he's seen of the Horde is that they kidnapped him, forced him to fight for their entertainment, are steadily destroying the forests of Azeroth that the Night Elves live in, and now Wrathgate. And as far as Wrathgate goes, the Alliance had commited the bulk of it's forces in Northrend on the attack, including the overall commander, Highlord Fordragon. The Horde sent a much smaller force, and where was Hellscream? That's what Wrynn is seeing. His armies in Northrend decapitated while the Horde loses a token force for plausible deniability. Not a pretty face the "New" Horde's put forth, is it?
D) It's nt like he went and laid siege to Ogrimmar. His response was to assault the Undercity, home of the group that initiated the attack. What does he find when he finishes off Putress? Thrall, standing in the fortress of the race that perpetrated the attack. Next to him, Sylvanas Windrunner, the leader of the Forsaken. Wrynn was likely going to stop after crushing the forsaken, and hash out the rest of the Horde when things calmed down a bit, but this changes things. We know from outside the 4th wall why Thrall was there, but from Wrynn's perspective, this just cements the idea that Thrall was in on Wrathgate.
After Wrathgate, Wrynn's hand was forced. He couldn't havethe Forsaken sitting that close to the Heart of the Alliance with the kind of weapon like that plague. Putress wiped out most of the Alliance's Northrend expedition with about a dozen catapults. Imagine what the full might of the forsaken could do if it decided to move south, to Ironforge, or to Stormwind. Thrall had the last chance to salvage peace, sacrifice the Forsaken to Wrynn's justice, and he would have had a basis to say, "hey, we got hurt too." But getting caught in the Undercity when Wrynn made his move was the worst thing Thrall could have done.
Hey, hold on a second...
A) The black dragonflight were allied with the Horde during the second war. Yes. The 'Old' Horde, not the current one- who make something of a point of spiking Onyxia's head on a stick in the center of their capital city.
B) The Order of the Ebon Blade, and Highlord Fordring's Argent Crusade, are not Alliance factions. The Alliance's position vs. the Horde is entirely unaffected by these two groups, as they are wise enough to know where their ire should be focused (I.E. on the Lich King).
C) A smaller force? It's possible. The Horde isn't as large as the Alliance. They were also the Horde's best- Horde questchains constantly have players going out and gathering supplies or striking at military targets because the Kor'kron Vanguard, the Horde's best troops, are located at the Wrathgate, with the best of the equipment and provisions. So much of the Horde military is focused there, in fact, that the Horde can't even adequately defend Warsong Hold- their major base in Northrend.
Not exactly a 'token force'.
D) What else does he find? Thrall and Sylvanas and a handful of bloodied Horde heroes standing over the corpse of Varimathras, having slaughtered their way into the city. Clearly accomplices!
I fully agree.
Bad timing on Thrall's part, and having Windrunner beside him wasn't helping much.
I have a feeling that if things go the way they are... Thrall will end up dead by Wrynn, the orcs will go in a wild fit, giving Hellscream the chance to rise to power and barring Saurfang's advice, and go to war against the Alliance.
Then those who are waiting... Kil'Jaeden, The Old Gods, Deathwing and... Sargeras will come back in full force.
Did you all notice that we are losing all dragon aspects, one by one?
There is far more brewing than an disgruntled orc spirit in a traitor's body and a petty war between factions going on behind the curtains.
And I feel that we will see Tirion Fordring and Saurfang rise to the call, and maybe the comeback of Alleria and Turalyon from the nether.
So many things to ponder on. Great article!
My paladin follows the path that Fordring took, the path of honor and compassion.
Even with the Forsaken. Inside they would like to be part of the living again , and not all of the citizens of Lordaeron were alligned with the cult of the damned like those from Tarren Mill.
This war, while a bad idea is necessary.

While the country is cringing at the Jerry Sandusky trial, the people of Manchester, New Hampshire may have another monster in their midst. A former mailman there named Frank Saucier is currently facing a criminal trial after being accused of sexually assaulting children in his postal truck.
According to investigators, between September 2011 and February 2012, Saucier let several children "play house" inside the vehicle. In these games, Saucier would play the "dad" and sometimes pretend to be driving the parked vehicle. He is also accused of spanking a 10-year-old boy on one of those occasions.
Once neighborhood parents became suspicious, they contacted the police, and the 43-year-old was removed from the mail route and has since been indicted on more than 10 charges alleging he sexually assaulted three children, aged 7 to 10, inside the vehicle. Uggghh ... Just relaying this makes my skin crawl!
I realize we don't live in 1955 and we can't expect neighborhoods to look like something out of Pleasantville or a Norman Rockwell painting, but has it really come to this? Do we really need to be freaking out that our children are going to be assaulted by a neighborhood postal worker? Someone who we allow onto our front stoops and inside our apartment buildings without question? Someone the government hires who we're supposed to trust?
Stories like this one make it seem like we now have to question everyone. Anyone who walks by us on the street, even in what you would think of as a safe neighborhood, could be a potential predator. It's enough to make your stomach turn. The only silver lining here is that parents did contact the authorities, and Saucier now faces trial.
All in all, though, what a complete nightmare. All we can hope is that justice is served, and the USPS starts doing a better job screening employees, so families like those in Manchester don't have to live in fear.
Does this story make you feel like you should question whether every single person might be a predator?
Image via wmurtv/YouTube
Man, where were the parents when these kids were INSIDE this man's postal truck? Seriously!
THIS is the reason i dont let my kid play outside where i either cant see him! that is THE #1 RULE in our household. i HAVE to be able to see you play outside or you cant play. my son is VERY good with that and he knows that i check outside every 10-15 minutes to see where he is (it hells that i live RIGHT in front of the playground)..... but still this story is HORRIBLE!
Do we really need to be freaking out that our children are going to be assaulted by a neighborhood postal worker? Someone who we allow onto our front stoops and inside our apartment buildings without question? Someone the government hires who we're supposed to trust?
lets not just worry about people in our neighbor hood! how about our "" loving family members ""
YES we have to be suspect of every one who walks by. No one gets a free pass because sex offenders are most often people that the family already knows, loves and trusts. Do NOT let anyone take your children off alone and be vigilant about what your kid is doing. Pay attention to their reactions to people and don't force them to be around people they say make them uncomfortable. Kids have great intuition.
This sickens me! What has this world come to!? Those poor kids! Parents out there, u need to make sure that u teach ur kids the basic stuff about strangers.....my son who is 9 yrs old now, was taught about strangers since he was 3 yrs old. It's ok to scare them about starngers cause they should be. However, that man needs to never be able to around kids and for sure need to face harsh consequences.

When Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., lost his primary election, The Washington Post editorial board whined about the "confrontational, partisan attitude" of his opponent. If The Post is really concerned about the growing confrontational partisanship in Washington, then they need to look in the mirror. It is their own long established blatant partisanship that has been poisoning the well in DC for years.
Today's 5,000-word front page story detailing an alleged 50-year old bullying incident committed by Mitt Romney when he was in high school is just the latest in a long line of blatant water-carrying for Democrats by The Post. How many stories/editorials did The Post run on Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell's college thesis? Ultimately, Virginia voters saw through The Post's partisan priorities and elected McDonnell in a landslide.
But while The Post's journalistic choices do not always move voters at the ballot box, it does affect their choices. It puts all Republicans on notice that papers like The Post will devote whatever resources are necessary to highlight every bad rumor from their personal lives. Why was the Republican presidential field so weak this year? Because candidates like Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels refused to expose their families to the casual indifference The Post displays as it destroys lives in pursuit of its goal of electing Democrats.
And it is not just the politicians and their families that get hurt. There is always collateral damage when decades-old personal stories are reported. Just ask the family of the alleged bullying victim who told ABC News: "The portrayal of John is factually incorrect and we are aggrieved that he would be used to further a political agenda."
The Washington Post is a corporation. As all people do, they have a First Amendment right to spend their money as they see fit. We just ask that they don't whine when conservatives choose to do the same.
Campaign 2012
Obama: President Obama moved quickly to capitalize on his new found support of gay marriage. Within hours of his announcement his campaign released a video attacking Romney on the issue, and last night he touted his new position at a $40,000-a-table Hollywood fundraiser that drew in $15 million for his reelection.
Romney: Romney says he does not remember the incident described by The Post, but he did apologize for all the "stupid things" he did in high school.
Wisconsin: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has posted a video of Republican Gov. Scott Walker telling a supporter that he would introduce a bill to roll back collective bargaining for public employees to "divide and conquer" organized labor, and turn Wisconsin into a right-to-work state.
Around the Bigs
The Wall Street Journal, J.P. Morgan's $2 Billion Blunder: J.P. Morgan has lost $2 billion on an investment strategy predicated on continued economic recovery. They are expected to lose another billion if the Obama economy continues to stagnate.
The Los Angeles Times, U.S. pressures legislators on bullet train funds: The Obama administration threatened California on Thursday with rescinding $3.3 billion in federal grants to start construction of a bullet train if the Legislature does not act by June to appropriate the state's share of funding.
The Hill, House votes to replace Pentagon cuts mandated by debt deal: The House voted Thursday to override steep cuts to the Pentagon's budget mandated by last summer's debt deal and replace them with spending reductions to food stamps and other mandatory social programs.
The Washington Post, Spain's lingering bank crisis weighs on economic recovery: Spain, the euro zone's fourth-largest economy, is suffering from the growing burden of bad real estate, development and mortgage loans. Up to $100 billion may be needed to bail them out.

The SABC1 Brand has remained South Africa's most favourite television channel for the past decade, with over 15 million current viewers per week (Amps Survey) SABC1 is a full-spectrum national television channel providing a programming mix of enlightening, informative, educational and entertaining material predominantly in the African languages and English. Within the SABC television portfolio of brands, SABC1 is positioned as a TV brand that represents youthful dreams and aspirations. It reflects a youthful society that is currently in motion and progressive. SABC 1 is a channel defined by courage, like the youthful South Africa that it serves. It is an inspiration and a guiding light for youthful people, values that put the brand in line with its Public Service mandate and commitment. SUCCESS OF THE "YA MAMPELA" POSITITIONING SABC 1 comes off the base of an extremely successful positioning campaign in 2003, namely 'Ya Mampela'. The channel has remained South Africa's most favourite TV channel. As an integral part of the SABC Corporate model of 'self-funding' the channel has had to ensure a balance between the achievement of its Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) mandate and being financially competitive in an increasingly competitive market; objectives that it has met successfully. THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHANNEL BRAND In mid 2005, SABC 1 conducted audience research which culminated in the revision of the strategic direction. The research found that the 'Ya Mampela' positioning gave the broader SABC1 target market feelings of alienation due to its 'youth' proposition and further feelings of alienation through the channel being seen as Jozi-centric (strong Gauteng influence). SABC 1 needed to evolve its 'niched-youth' positioning to one that was more inclusive of older viewers subscribing to a youthful value system. It also needed to broaden its audience appeal, extending it beyond the boundaries of Gauteng to one that was reflective of a broader and more diverse South Africa. These would build on the channel's vision of creating 'popular public service' owned and shared by all South Africans who subscribe to this youthful value system. The channel also realised that some of the values inherent in the 'Ya Mampela' positioning, though relevant at the time, were no longer so in post 2005 South Africa. Though seen as positively bold, fiery and straight-talking, it was however also seen as highly gritty and rebellious. THE SHIFT AWAY FROM YA MAMPELA Despite the dominance of 'Ya Mampela,' as it was known in the marketplace, a management decision was taken to reposition the channel to reflect this new terrain. SABC 1 IS LIVING IN MZANSI SABC 1 thus needed to develop a positioning territory that could mirror the potency of 'Ya Mampela' in its prime, ensuring the building of a position of preference and enduring resonance in the consumer's mind. From the heady days of the Rainbow Nation 'Simunye' platform, youthful SA had been constantly on the move. They had moved on from pipe dreams and unsubstantiated hopes - many had learned harsh life lessons. It was a 'school of hard knocks' that left young South Africans looking for authentic engagement beyond the pretty words and pictures of conventional advertising campaigns. The world of conventional image advertising with its too beautiful people that showcased contrived racial harmony and unreal perfection was a trap that Simunye had fallen into. While it may have worked then, a more worldly and sassed young person just was not buying the proposition nor its image any longer. Research bore out the market's need for real, 'tell it like it is content', for tools, empathy and insight, for routes to personal freedom and individuality they could negotiate themselves. Helping them engage with their reality, make some sense of it, for survival, prosperity and the construction of their identities in an uncertain environment. For brands that acknowledged their reality and their experiences as valid and worth engaging with - there was a great store of admiration and regard to be acquired. For SABC1 this is a new and differentiating intrinsic proposition, born out of the tension between the mandate and the marketplace's regard for entertainment. It is a position that has been developed over time, an ability to uncover stories that resonate with the South African condition consistently. Relevance and realism - people had come to appreciate and hunger for programming that they could identify with as reflecting their own sorts of stories. This is the route that the channel will pursue going forward - authenticity as a principal territory that enables us to connect with our audiences from an original perspective. REINVENTING THE PUBLIC BROADCASTER ROLE In an increasingly competitive environment, it was not enough to be in Public Service, we needed to be in Popular Public Service. What did that mean to be 'popular'? It meant to be well known and well-liked - even well supported. To be part of the popular culture of South Africa! We surmised that the culture vacuum we perceived in South Africa was an opportunity for a powerful media brand like SABC1 to step in and play the role of cultural elder. The team's preoccupation with this led to the realisation that the future for the channel lays in its ability to impact values, lifestyle and ultimately culture. From the mission to be in Popular Public Service, was born the channel brand vision which reinvented the PSS role of the channel, providing new direction. It is an insight, a revelation and ultimately an inspiration for everyone associated with the channel, the idea that: "More than TV. We are in culture." NEW POSITIONING TERRITORY & THE NEW CHANNEL ANATOMY From that foundation, a brand communication blueprint was developed. This built the communication thinking from the ground (external environment) up towards a differentiator and communication essence at the apex. We considered the following: New competitive landscape New insights Significance of new programming The ultimate role of a public broadcaster Our vision of impacting culture THE NEW SABC1 BRAND POSITIONING – UNDERSTANDING THE NEW BRAND ESSENCE 'Living in Mzansi' This essence roots the brand. 'Mzansi' is shorthand for South Africa - but not just any South Africa. 'Mzansi' is a post-Apartheid youthful notion of our county. It is a colloquialism that emerged from youthful popular culture in this county. Living in Mzansi grounds the SABC1 brand in youthful, contemporary South African culture. It positions SABC1 as an insider and participant rather than just an observer. As the youthful consciousness in South Africa evolves, this essence ensures that SABC1 is of its very fabric. UNDERSTANNG THE DIFFERENTIATOR 'AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING' The brand's differentiator was its ability to reflect, create and tell stories that originate from youthful democratic South Africa – which Mzansi is shorthand for. This was our way of tapping into the need for authentic engagement we found in consumers. The channel's rationale for the richness and relevance of this direction was articulated as follows: 'Story generation and storytelling is part of Southern African social and societal fabric. Our parents grew up hearing stories told by their parents and grandparents. But in a new democracy and a critical conscious modern world, 'the story' has taken on a new form.' STRATEGY INSIGHT SUMMARY In summary, like 'Ya Mampela' did, SABC1's new positioning needs to provide a reference in a complex world. It is about a perspective on the world that people can engage with constructively. It means a departure from trademark and transient rebellious branding, the SABC1 brand has to fulfill a role with more substance in people's lives. The brand role is summarised by the following plug-ins to key consumer and market insights: Provide entertainment /edutainment that speaks to consumers Celebrate a youthful mindset through popular culture Foster a sense of purpose in youthful SA (Youth Consciousness) Be responsive to consumer expectations and needs Engage and involve audiences going beyond conventional TV. "BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE" Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

Occasional TGWTG, ATLA, Harry Potter, Sleeping Warrior, the Thor corner (Thorner?) of Marvel, ladies in comics, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, and other content that catches my eye.
The only thing I want in Avengers 2 is Cap picking up Thor's hammer, totally unaware it should be impossible.
Screw that, I want Thor to lose his hammer. And there's some guy playing with his dog like "Go Fetch".
And then the dog comes back with the Hammer, and Thor shows up and sees the dog holding the hammer in it's mouth, looks at the guy and says "That is a very good dog"

I ordered a caramel colored hardwood flooring from easystepflooring last week. To be honest, I am really satisfied with their quality and services. Received the product the next day I ordered! Great work guys.

I would not recommend this company, the quality of the product was very poor, the oak flooring was covered in black filler that looked like someone had dropped a can of paint on it. After numerous attempts at dealing with them to return the product no reurn or refund was granted as the box had been opened, how else would you discover the product was faulty!? Their product and customer service is appalling.
