A full color, twenty page mini comic designed to teach beginner magic tricks in a fun and visually engaging way.
The Magic Comic Book is a project to create a full color, 20 page mini comic designed to teach beginner magic tricks in a fun and visually engaging way.
By contrast, magic has traditionally been taught in "text book" format. It's usually accompanied by nice illustrations, but those illustrations don't go far enough to teach the highly visual, technically complicated, art of magic. By using a graphic, sequential art format the tricks will be easy to understand and duplicate.
The book isn't written as a show and tell, however. Instead, it uses a form of incidental teaching, which is to say that the magic is taught incidentally throughout the story.
The story opens with the main character, 16 year old Aiden Oliver, waking up the morning of his girlfriend's birthday party, only to realize he's forgotten to plan it. He sets out to throw something together last minute, and along the way he performs and teaches magic to a bevy of interesting characters, making friends and winning favors.
In a fashion typical of a fun, kid oriented comic, all turns out okay in the end as, with the help of his new friends, he's able to put together an amazing sweet 16 party.
I'm asking for your support so that I can hire a professional artist to bring my story to life.
Thank you for your consideration of my project - please click the green "Back This Project" button to pledge your support :)
PS - Here are two of my Moviestorm movies. The first is "Robot Remote," which recently took first place in a user-run faux advertising competition. Be warned, it's kind of PG-13ish for language and content:
The Second is "The Most Elite Force In The World." It's an old joke, animated with Moviestorm:
Great question - it's a very important point that I've thought a lot about.
First, I'll record a video of me teaching and performing the tricks (the same one being offered in the rewards) for him/her to use as a reference. But I've also roughly storyboarded the action so he can see how I envision the shots being framed. We'll communicate as he/she sketches it out, and if need be I'll rerecord key bits to communicate exactly how the trick needs to be broken down to the readers.
Thanks for asking :)

Pottygirl, I hope the same thing.Originally Posted by portalgirl
Our DNA is built by 4 base elements of information which relate to base creations. Put together, the initials to these factors represent letters which we relate to the name Yaweh, hence the father creator. This same information remains the base for all organic matter. We are all of the same source basically and, as our DNA vibrates and "speaks", eminates energy, this same language is perceived by our base creator and relates us to all, in balance, that are made by the same make up. All life stems from this information, as we know it on earth.
However, genetic manipulation from outer sources means the introduction of new base creations collating with our own, in such a way that the main resounding language/vibration of DNA speach no longer relates to our same base but to that of the outsider. This is why it's been so important to create hybrids. It defines characteristics and eliminates those trates unwanted in a new human-like population, for our physical characteristics are much desired and perfect for the environment we inhabit. Relate this to vetruvius man.
However, our DNA connects us spiritually through its vibration language with our creator, which in base offers us freewill and need for independence. These are flaws for the outsider wishing and needing primarily an enslaved optimum race for its own survival in a parasitical fashion. Our DNA also "seeks" to reconnect and asks its creator for assistance, that is why it is important for the outsider to slowly but surely fool us into believing that things around us are normal, have remained unaltered in all the while that the outsider has needed "to steal" the genetic material from us that it requires for the construction of a new, optimum, subserviant force/population.
Our cretor is stronger and higher than the outsider, though part of the same universe. We can tap into our mind to reconnect through vibration speech our DNA to its creator and elevate ourselves to a higher grounding where a stand off with the intruder of our reality is possible. The physical isn't enough. We must tap into our inner voice, connections and seek the father, our base constructor.
The number of the beast relates to the name of a man that is formed with letters equivalent to element numbers, and only those created with the stem name of the beast through DNA grounding, will live, according to the twisted plan, onward of troubled times.
We face souless kids; human kids whose electrical "vibe" has been altered through toxicity and vaccinations so to avoid further growth instruction and connection with our creator, which would result in spiritual assistance becoming physical, for the two work together and are of the same projection base, and an intruder conspiring would not succeed.
We must not think religions, we must think vibrational language eminating through our make up and delivered directly to our creating father, without the need for mediators, so to reconnect and grow to a level higher than we currently reside, to improve and stand a chance of defence.
I hope I make some sense in what I write....the conspiracies are so to fool us, to make us forget who we are, to break bonds like that of mother and child which is so energetically strong. As we are aware being, our reality has to be carefully twisted over time to weaken our bonds. Our enemy knows u sbetter than we do. The key is to realize that we are, in base construction, stronger than they are.

Interesting short documentary series from the heads responsible for producing a few films on recent times, this particular series features a rather humbled Nasir Jones just before he's due to headline Rock The Bells festival in California. I'd highly recommend giving this a watch as Nas looks back on memories of his home town Queensbridge, how he incorporated that into his music, attending his first Hip-Hop gig, production of Ilmatic and the first time he heard himself on radio. What was quite refreshing to hear was how much music actually meant to him and that he was still churning out albums because thats what mattered to him.
All in all though for a short documentary it rounds up his beginnings from youth to the talented rapper he is today, even featuring a rather heartfelt onstage tribute to Illmatics Producer Large Professor.
If you missed Nas latest release "Life is Good" have a butchers at the review HERE.

Point Lookout, Estate of the Day
It's not really an
estate, it's actually a conference/retreat center but if you ever need a secret lair this is the place. Point Lookout is tucked into
387 acres of Maine woods on Ducktrap Mountain. The mountainside retreat was built by the credit card company MBNA. The
sprawling compound has eight main buildings and 106 log cabins. The main conference center has views over the islands
of Penobscot Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It has state-of-the-art business systems and large conference rooms with
glossy wooden tables and large fireplaces. The center also has all sorts of indoor and outdoor recreational areas
including a bowling alley. It's priced at $26.4 million which seems a little ambitious but it could be converted to a
resort or perhaps the ultimate place for a large family to hold reunions. More shots of this scenic retreat after the

Javascript in HTMLhi ,
I have this fantastic idea of creating a web page that does transliteration like google except spelling suggestion. My idea is to take input from user in text box & process on receiving a space. For this purpose I think , I will need ajavascript which will dynamically transliterate. Can you tell me is there is any function which can pass string just input for processing ? Suppose user has already written 'ALREADY' Now he appends " new " after last white space key press the string 'new' should be retrieved . Another java function will process 'new' to create hindi word . The advantage is you have transliteration using a webpage . Please suggest ? I know bit of html & java. |
Re: Javascript in HTMLDo you mean something like this?
In this example, any misspelled 'gren' [green] or 'yelow' [yellow] is converted/translated to the correct spelling. This is checked as any space is entered within the text field. HTML Code:
Use the force...read the source!! WYCIWYG -- what you code is what you get! |
Re: Javascript in HTMLThank you TurboPT for your valuable reply.
I am looking for something similiar. I understood that on every keypress check key is called then if it is a space then you retrieve the whole text typed into text box & replace gren by green & yelow by yellow. Is it possible to retrieve only the last word. Example if text box has : teraa naam kyaa hai then like google transliterate we will already have तेरा नाम क्या so as user presses space after hai . I want to process "hai" which my transliterate function will convert to है . |
Re: Javascript in HTMLThe problem is, how/when do you know that their input IS the last word followed by a space?
[as more typing could possibly follow] My help might be limited, but figured that could be a start. I guess you could check for that word with the trailing space included, but that would be need to be determined based on your need[s]. I don't know your language, but I'm sure that word could appear more than once in any potential input? __________________
Use the force...read the source!! WYCIWYG -- what you code is what you get! |
Re: Javascript in HTMLas soon as user presses space we will grab the last letter of text area & keep going backwards till we encounter another space . So whatever we have read is the last word spelled backwards . Isn't it ?
Re: Javascript in HTML...but you said [in post #1] "process on receiving a space", so that sounds different now, and you have added 'textarea', instead of 'textbox'...?
So, how do you expect the operation to actually behave? The difference almost sounds like after a submit, or some other operation. __________________
Use the force...read the source!! WYCIWYG -- what you code is what you get! |
Re: Javascript in HTMLif you are not able to see hindi font then please see
www.ffonts.net OR www.devanagarifonts.net sorry , i thought textarea & textbox mean same. i don't want user to press any button for transliteration. QUESTION)Are there any functions in javascript which can retrieve word from string ? in your original code , i think you get the whole 'whatever user typed'. Let us say , if there is no way to get last word . Then my next option is to transliterate whatever user has typed so far . There will be another window which shows hindi text in case we are not able to get last word typed in text box. The function below will be used when I want to add unicode characters to that transliteration window Code:
Rules will be Code:
Now the process will be as follows Code:
Re: Javascript in HTMLQuote:
In my original code, yes, I do get "whatever user typed", because the user can "click back" to a previous [or any other] point in the line and make a change, so whenever this happens, ANY changes will be checked. The "Last Word" - I'm not sure what would "trigger" that the user is done with input to know the need to check the "last word"...what is your basis? Quote:
Use the force...read the source!! WYCIWYG -- what you code is what you get! |
Re: Javascript in HTMLIn your example , it is suitable & better to fix spelling of 'green' & 'yellow' in whole textbox/textarea(consider both words as interchangeable).
Whereas in mine , My ideal method will be to use just one window & get the word as soon as user presses space & replace it by hindi equivalent. This way at any time , all words will be in hindi except the one which is being spelled in english & has not been terminated with space. In case , user modifies previously typed words (which are now in hindi) : I will see later what happens in that case . Let us say , my ideal presumption seems difficult to implement now. Then I am fine with two windows . The one in which user types & as soon as he presses space 'whole text' is converted to hindi & transliteration window gets fully rewritten. As you must have seen , I have mentioned abstract algorithm in my previous post. I know a bit of C in which there are functions to get character by character from stream. QUE)Is there any such function in java ? QUE)Also any if/else equivalent to decide what takes precedence ? I will try to use string manipulation function & regexp and report here on my progress & further queries. QUE)For trial purpose how can I echo variable values to debug window to see how my function is behaving ? Thank You. |
Re: Javascript in HTMLIgnore my previous post .
I have implemented your example according to my needs Actually I am replacing combination of letters with suitable hindi word So far , here is the code HTML Code:
Example if I write vu expecting वु I notice that it stops at वu because v has been replaced with व while ु will come only when it gets 'v' before 'u' which is not present. Then I changed 's' to 'सs' so that letter 's' till appears after replacement yet su brings up 'सs ' I was expecting su -> सsu -> सु Interestingly , sau brings सु I don't understand why ?

He's got points there - Gnome's been problematic for a while. But unlike other mainstream OSes, I have a lot of options as to my window/desktop manager, and it doesn't seem useful to build up that much rage about it. It seems like he would get along with Theo DeRaadt, who is also capable of whipping himself into a frenzy. (Theo's latest rant over the Win8/UEFI secure boot is a great example. He slammed RedHat and Canonical for trying to figure out a working compromise, and even compared RH to MS. Um, no.)

Leaf initiation was previously thought to be self-regulated and not reliant on environmental cues. However, a recent study has revealed that light redirects meristem fate from maintenance to lateral organ initiation, through the regulation of the plant hormones auxin and cytokinin.

The MEd in HSE program will be offered through the Faculty of Education in collaboration with the Health Sciences Council.
The program is flexible and is designed to be taken part-time through a blended delivery format consisting of a small number of face-to-face classes combined with synchronous and asynchronous online sessions. This delivery method supports health professionals to remain in their full-time employment while taking further studies. It also supports the concurrent application and sharing of new knowledge and skills with other educators and practitioners in the workplace.
Students have a choice of completing either a course-based or a thesis-based MEd in HSE. All students will be admitted to the course-based route, however, students may change to a thesis route after completion of *6 to *9 of required coursework and in consultation with their advisor(s).
Regardless of route, students will be expected to author or co-author interprofessional research that will be presented and submitted for publication.
Students will be assigned an Advisor from the Department of Educational Psychology, Faculty of Education upon entry to the program. In the course-based route, a co-supervisor will be chosen from a health science faculty and will act as a second reader in the capping exercise. In the thesis-based route, a co-supervisor will be chosen from a health science faculty. This assignment will take place upon the students' change to the thesis route. The supervisors will then mentor the student through the research element of their program.
Six academic components will serve as a foundation for the program:
Elective courses will be selected in consultation with the students' advisor/supervisor(s).
The program is intended for practicing professionals to engage in part-time graduate study while working. Course-based students must complete all the requirements within six years of the term in which they first register as candidates in the master's program. Thesis-based students must complete all the requirements within four years of the term in which they first register as candidates in the master's program.
Each required course is assessed at $1600.00. Program fees are due at the start of each term.

Chattering class obsession or the shame of Britain?
Sharply divergent views on the hacking scandal from the Mail and the Telegraph.
By Helen Lewis Published 16 July 2011 12:13The country's two main right-wing newspapers, the Telegraph and Daily Mail, have taken very different editorial lines on the phone-hacking scandal and the crisis in Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.
As several commentators have noted on Twitter, the Daily Telegraph's leader today is in thundering form, calling hacking "a scandal that has diminished Britain". It excoriates Rebekah Brooks, David Cameron, Rupert Murdoch and the Metropolitan police.
After the revelations of the past week, the whole world has learned the shameful truth about modern Britain: that its leading politicians and policemen have been lining up to have their palms greased and images burnished by executives of a media empire guilty of deeply criminal - and morally repugnant - invasions of personal privacy. . .
David Cameron should have dismantled this quasi-masonic circle, with its conspiratorial deal-cutting and back-scratching. Instead, encouraged by George Osborne, he invited the circle into Downing Street, giving Mr Coulson an undeserved second chance. Mr Cameron is paying the price for this and other cynical moves. At a time when he is supposed to be navigating Britain through both the domestic and global debt crises, the Prime Minister is desperately trying to align himself with public opinion and distance himself from the News International scandal. Government has given way to the shallowest form of crisis management.
The Mail, however, considers phone-hacking to be a diversion from "the real problems facing Britain" - the financial problems in the Eurozone, the worries over the US's credit rating, soaring fuel prices at home. In Friday's leader, it declaimed:
In a sane world, politicians would be working round the clock to help rectify these dire problems. But sadly, they are far too busy enjoying a frenzy of vengeful score-settling against the Murdoch press.
Even though the News of the World has been closed, the BSkyB takeover bid withdrawn, and Rupert Murdoch has promised to co-operate with the judicial inquiries, the bloodlust - orchestrated by a vastly subsidised BBC - continues.. . . The stink of schadenfreude from Britain's chattering classes is overpowering.
It remains to be seen who is most in touch with the public mood on this.

Hacking the rich, powerful and 'celebrities' - fine - go for them !
Some a*** twitching going on over at Dacre Towers methinks.
I wonder what the Mail's headlines will be tomorrow or Monday now that two senior Mail on Sunday journalists have been told by police they may be hacking victims of Mulcaire.
Cue eating of words and rank hypocrisy in relation to Friday's leader no doubt?
Sky News is saying that some Mail on Sunday journos were hacked by Mulcaire. Be interesting to see if they change their tune now, and go from 'it's a non-story' into 'voice of the nation moral outrage' mode.
Great minds Mike - or fools seldom differ?
A huge distraction from major issues but perhaps we will get more politics and less PR. There are two stories of much bigger importance that don't get a look in. 1. The parlous state of the dollar and the Euro. 2. The appalling prospects for UK public finances in the OBR report...The linking theme being how politicians have spent your children's future.
Strangely perhaps I have the ability to read about 4 or 5 separate issues without getting confused. Is this the highly regarded skill of multi-tasking?
The point of this post? Which celebrity is shagging who is way more important than boring stories about politicians, the economy and rioting Greeks.
The two papers are differing in tome for one very good reason - Class. The Torygraph is aimed at mostly middle/upper middle class Tories living in the Home Counties and leafy bastions of solid English respectability like the Brockenhurst, New Forest in Hampshire. Bankers, Stockbrokers, and other highly paid professionals.
The Mail is the paper of your aspiring upwardly mobile working/ aspiring middle classes from Worcester and Chigwell beloved of Margaret Thatcher. Underhand tactics like hacking into people's phones would therefore normally be seen by these types as a perfectly acceptable business opportunity.
Whereas such grubby practices in Telegraph reader's minds typify the worst excesses of your money grubbing proles and the "unacceptable face of Capitalism".
As with all base enterprises a line has been over-sstepped and so is beyond the pale in such respectable avenues in the Stockbroker Belt.
In Chigwell they're not predisposed to want to know about such things because in this instance the scandal is too close to home.
Hailing from Worcester and never beloved of Thatcher I must protest!
Sorry mate. I had to pick some likely places, and Worcester Woman was identified as a typical Daily Mail reader I recall.
The Mail has no principles.
The new verb for phone hacking is phacking thus a phacking scandal
Most people are more interested in finding who is responsible for the hacking rather then a crime to be turned into some kind of vandetta against the remaining murdoch press,
prehaps some people would like The Times or The Sun to be turned into The Left Foot Forward ! or maybe sold to some middle eastern buyer or prehaps the remaining 62.0000 People who work for news international should loose their jobs, Ed Miliband should know when to stop instead of trying to model himself as the 'New Diana'Labour are just riding the tide of public opinion i hope they will not find themselves all at sea when all these dark deeds are out in the open.
No probs mediumal57, my protest was light hearted.
Interesting article. Anyone who doesn't think that the DT, Indy or Guardian won't be at least partially driven in their commentary by a clear commercial interest in putting the boot into News International-with a view to poaching Times readers-is perhaps a bit naive.
My feeling is that the whole phone hacking scandal has already been hijacked by parties within NI hoping to stage a coup. Politicians of all parties, with a few honourable exceptions, will try to strike a balance between making the right outraged noises and avoiding the alienation of people within NI who could help them in future.
I'd expect the focus of attack to continue to be individuals-Murdoch father and son, Brookes, and Coulson. NI and it's corporate culture and strategy will be subject to token scrutiny, no more than that.
The Mail can hardly ever be described as being in touch with the public or with their finger on the political pulse.
Shame the hypocrites bemoan all the coverage but have to get their own little BBC dig in amongst the taking the moral high ground line. I mean take a look at their front page today, where's the headlines on the UK's problems, the eurozone and the US debt crisis?
Still I'm sure it won't be long before the hacking scandal graces said paper's doorstep
The final line in the paragraph says it all. Yes Daily Mail I agree, we've all thought it for a long time - the stink of schadenfreude from the chattering classes that comprise your scummy paper is overpowering.
The thing that know one seems to have mentioned is the fact that "phone hacking" isn't as nasty as it sounds. It hasn't always been illegal. They only listend to voicemails.
From a subjective point of view it wouldn't bother me if someone "hacked" into my messages. However, if i was having an affair, i would be very upset. I'm glad to see Murdoch criminals brought to justice but i agree with Paul Mcmullan, phone hacking is not a big deal and we will be in a far worse place if press freedom is curtailed as a result of this.
The guardian is being pedantic using the indisputable line that hacking is "illegal". Obviously hacking is rather closer to other "illegal" activities like fox hunting or parking on yellow lines rather than the type of ilegal fraud that bankers and other more highly paid professions are found guilty of
Still, after all is said and done, the facts should speak for themselves.
I wonder if Associated Newspapers can sense a little bit of backwash coming their way and they are getting worried. After all, the PCC has ruled against them rather frequently but because the PCC is toothless they can ignore it. A statutory body would scare them to death.
(Not that the Telegraph can pretend innocence either, given the legacy of Black and the chequered history of the Barclays. But their relish is more understandable as a result.)
The Mail are trying to play it down because they are next in line, after the Mirror Group, to be exposed as doing exactly the same as NOTW et al. There will be a firestorm spreading through what we call Fleet Street, and Mail Towers will burn as bright and for as long as Wapping.
"They only listened to voice-mails."
And deleted them in Milly Dowler's case, so that they could pick up more later; leading the family to hope that she was still alive.
There's also Det Supt Dave Cook, who was tailed by a NOTW journalist, and was allegedly 'hacked', while leading a murder enquiry in which two of the leading suspects were private investigators who regularly worked for NOTW.
When asked by police why they were investigating Cook, Brooks told them NOTW was investigating an allegation that Cook was having an affair with a Crimewatch presenter (who turned out to be his wife).
Daily Mail themselves were involved in this - they hope to move on to other news before their past is discussed.
I am impressed by Telegraphs take on this - right or left, cleaner politics would be better for democracy and sorting out all the other mentioned issues.

Addressing the deficiencies of higher education in light of the pressures of globalization and the information economy are driving many very pointed recommendations for higher education reform. While US colleges and universities are carrying on their role in research and scholarship, their ability to attract, retain and graduate new students is being challenged by college student mobility, low high school graduation rates, high school dropouts, and ill prepared high school students across all demographics.
Secretary Spelling's Kick-Off Summit ( press release)
Last week, Secretary Margaret Spellings held the first of the US Department of Education's Higher Education Summits in Washington, DC aimed at selling her Commission's main recommendations. 300 higher education leaders from across the country attended the DC summit to discuss the five core recommendations agreed to by most of the Commission members, http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/members.html,
1. Aligning K-12 and higher education expectations;
2. Increasing need-based aid for access and success;
3. Using accreditation to support and emphasize student learning outcomes;
4. Serving adults and other non-traditional students;
5. And enhancing affordability, decreasing costs, and promoting productivity.
Who Pays?
One audience member posed the multi-million dollar question on the minds of many inside and outside of education: What role will Congress and the Bush Administration have in promoting and funding these initiatives? The Secretary's response pointed to the purpose of the Summit to recognize the multiple stakeholders who need to be involved in finding ways to address these challenges. As with the No Child Left Behind law, whose reauthorization is underway, how these bold measures will be paid for is the current unanswered question. While the Secretary mentioned building stakeholder groups, higher education is funded in a variety of ways by state legislatures and that funding has been declining dollar for dollar over the last couple of years as other state priorities.
In January, Blackboard released two surveys of higher education leaders – one that included face-to-face interviews with 55 academic leaders and another online survey that polled over 500 leaders. Their reactions, not dissimilar to the Commission's, showed four of the following top concerns among leaders of higher education.
1. Increasing Student Engagement
2. Increasing Institutional Accountability
3. Generating Additional Revenue
4. Globalization of Programs and Instruction
The institutions, we found, are moving on these four challenges. However, how to address the disconnection between high school and higher education, one of the Commission's recommended areas for change, does not neatly fall into a funding area in either K12 education budgets or college budgets.
In the past years, higher ed outreach efforts have been cut back substantially and funding for college-bound courses is hard to come by with limited high school budgets. The survey did find that leaders look to online learning and distance education to help in each of the four areas above and tended to have faith that technology would and needed to play a role in each area. Going Virtual is Part of the Solution Blackboard, because of our role in both online distance education and online support for schools and colleges have seen many inventive uses of technology to help bridge the expectation gap between high school students and college attendance. A number of states have state-funded virtual schools that promote college attendance and provide college prep and remediation courses online to assist students and schools (see www.NACOL.org).
Likewise, many school districts and parents pay for courses that augment the college prep program. However, there is little or no Federal assistance for these programs.
The Not So Long Shadow of NCLB
There is a great deal of unease in higher education over how the Spellings Commission recommendations will play out at individual institutions and in state higher ed systems in various states. In K12, NCLB can place individual school districts under the control of state agencies. On the positive side, Spellings mentioned that while "one size fits all" will not work for developing standards to measure success in higher education – it's important to get started and have some measures. Blackboard surveys indicated that most higher education institutions were already looking at their own accountability standards and measures either independently or in conjunction with state overseers.
Schools Fail to Challenge:
The Secretary mentioned several examples of schools not doing enough to challenge students in low-income areas, citing that only half of high school graduates are ready for college level work. She talked about the role of Advanced Placement™ (AP) courses in providing rigorous coursework for students and mentions that often the low-income urban areas have far fewer AP courses available than nearby suburban districts. She points to Langley H.S. in Maryland which has 20-some AP course offerings compared to Ballou in the district which offers just four.
Blackboard's experience is that many schools and districts cannot pay for a full complement of AP offerings. The teaching staff and the test prep costs are far beyond the reach of many financially taxed districts. However, online solutions paid for with state funds and through private companies are now common and easily available to fill in the gaps. However, this path is not actively pushed by the Federal government, though information is readily available through the North American Council for Online Learning
Additionally, Blackboard will take a look at this particular topic of using AP courses to challenge students and measure academic excellence during a panel at our Users Conference featuring Washington Post reporter Jay Mathews, Education Week Editor Virginia Edwards and Education Sector Senior Analyst Sara Mead.
Inject Transparency into Higher Ed:
The Secretary did discuss the need, and the funding, to inject greater transparency into higher ed institutions, using meaningful data to better manage and improve their accountability. As part of this effort, she reported, three states – Florida, Minnesota and Kentucky – have been given $100,000 awards to launch pilot programs which will provide consumers information with data about the schools across their states. Little detail was offered on the kind of data these states will provide – with much of the initial criteria/structure being left open for states to figure it out on their own.
Coming to a City Near You?
The next steps for moving the Secretary's Commission on the future of Higher Ed will be a series of mini summits held in various markets around the U.S. in June.

- Specifically— In prosody, greater in duration (technically called quantity) than the unit of time, or so regarded. A long vowel, or sometimes a vowel in a long syllable, is marked as such by a straight line above it, thus, ā. In ancient orthoepy and prosody a long vowel is regarded as consisting regularly of the sum of two similar short vowels, thus, ā = ă + ă, and a diphthong is also necessarily long as the sum of two dissimilar short vowels, thus, au = ă + ŭ. In either case, if either element is already long, the excess is not counted. See the phrases long by nature and long by position, below, and II.
- In Eng. orthoëpy, noting one of the two or more principal pronunciations of each of the five true vowels, a, e, i, o, u, exemplified in the words fate, mete, site, note, mute, usually marked for pronunciation, as in this work, ā, ē, ī, ō, ū : opposed to the short sounds of the same letters in fat, met, sit, not, nut, frequently marked as ă ĕ, ĭ, ŏ, ŭ, but left unmarked in this work. The two sounds of the same letter now called long and short do not, for the most part, phonetically correspond to each other; but short is used specifically to note the more frequently employed of the shorter sounds of a certain letter, and long, by a similar limitation, for the more usual among the longer sounds of the same letter in our established orthography.
- Far-reaching; far-seeing: as, a long look ahead.
- Happening or occurring after a protracted interval; much delayed or postponed.
- Seeming prolonged; tedious; wearisome: as, long hours of waiting.
- The razorshell, Ensis americana.
- n. Something that has length; also, the full extent: used in some elliptical expressions, as in English universities for the long vacation, and in the phrase the long and the short of it.
- n. In prosody, a long time or syllable.
- n. In medieval musical notation, a note equivalent in time-value either to three or to two breves, according as the rhythm was "perfect" or "imperfect." Its form was
- To a great extent in space; with much length: as, a line long drawn out.
- Far; to or at a distance, or an indicated distance.

Reviews & Articles
By Author
James Halliday, 2011 Australian Wine Companion
Miss Harry 2008
2008 Miss Harry "a lusciously juicy wine"
Jul-2010Bright, light colour; a lusciously juicy wine, with cherry and raspberry flavours tempered by a slightly savoury finish; good length and balance. Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvèdre/Cinsaut.
Private Cellar 2006
2007 Private Cellar
Jul-2010Good hue; blackberry, blackcurrant, earth and dark chocolate all coalesce on the medium- to full-bodied palate, which has outstanding texture and structure, oak and tannins precisely controlled; 20 years cellaring suggestion on front label seems remarkably modest.
The Mad Hatter Shiraz 2007
2007 The Mad Hatter 94 points!
Jul-2010Still holding youthful colour; red and black fruits, spice, a wisp of dark chocolate and mocha oak on the bouquet lead into a vibrant palate that has just enough fruit to carry 20 months in 100% new French oak. A modern interpretation of the Blewitt Springs subregion of McLaren Vale.

Well-Known Benefit Of Automobile Direction-Finding Program S You will find many searching for a vehicle , truck , as well as vehicle just lately , after that i'm sure you've observed the multitude associated with automobiles showing off glistening new auto navigation systems as part of this or that package update. Scalping strategies tend to be wonderfully handy when you find yourself caught up within site visitors that's transferring more slowly as opposed to snail that handed simply by as well as that highways tend to be final on account of awful climate as well as site visitors stack fedex. The reality with the subject is that they come in equally handy when faced with every day traveling in the event you permit them to be. Many folks sadly buy scalping strategies given that they look like a good suggestion during the time and certainly not actually obtain full money's really worth. Hardly any investments within technological innovation tend to be deserving in the event you aren't planning to at the least buy your full money's really worth. Auto navigation systems are excellent when you find yourself dropped within the forest as we say , nonetheless they can assist you find different paths whenever visitors are busy on the standard drive on the supermarket. They could enable you to stay away from highways that were closed with regard to maintenance , and even find a quick way about function that's being carried out together your option. The product may also assist shorter paths for you to activities and such than you may have been aware been with us just before and they also aren't requesting virtually the retail price that they brought in merely a 2 yrs ago. In other words , this benefit has become additional reasonably priced. One issue you must keep in mind taking a look at a whole new automobile or a new auto routing method with an existing automobile is how significantly you would imagine you will actually make use of method. Even though you help save this with regard to emergency make use of alone , it's very entirely possible that in desperate situations this nice gadget will probably be really worth ten times that which you at first purchased it for since it may help save work opportunities , period , and even existence (specifically if you tend to be dropped along with searching for the hospital ). To me , it's challenging to placed the cost for the convenience that buying a gadget similar to this would likely deliver however it is certainly definitely worth the $500-$1,500 that's increasingly being billed. Keep in mind that whenever scalping strategies very first hit the market $1,500 was for the extremely lower conclusion. If you won't ever utilize this method and only have it since it looks great , you then aren't taking your full money's really worth. Technological innovation is only very good if it is helpful to an individual. Present empty it's helping no-one and is also fundamentally a complete waste of cash. On the other instrument conclusion with the variety however , you've got folks much like me. Simply by 'like me' after all people who might get helplessly dropped along with upset discovering our way to avoid it with the entrance in dim along with moonless days. I take advantage of my auto routing method as an further set of eyes. My system is not the superior with the collection method that promotes a great uncanny capability to enable you to similar car park your automobile , however it is wonderful ample to help me figure out exactly where i am and how to get exactly where i'm about beyond this concept. To me , that's exactly ample to become worth every penny. Beyond that , my routing method doesn't require tricky folds over as well as my taking off on to the glenohumeral joint so that you can study. This predicts us (without having shedding it is composure ) along with tells me which place to go , i really like that regarding my method. I don't know concerning the most an individual , however chart reading through is not something we've lots of people proficient in. This could have a little related to the belief that it had been not something i had been at any time terribly thinking about. Few that with my bad awareness of points of interest and i also was a traveling catastrophe. Basically , i managed to get dropped at least once , or else two times a week prior to making the move into the modern world associated with routing. We have simply no remorse and even though i am unable to promise that you will enjoy your auto routing method as much as i really like mine (just about all techniques aren't built the same ), i could just about bet that your traveling , specifically in lengthy road trips , go additional effortlessly than without having 1.

28th September 2009, 11:47 PM
this is sasha, shes a 16h four year old black and white mare. Her dam was an x race horse and her sire i think was a cob. She came into be brought back into work and sold, and we fell in love and brought her. She needed an understanding home as she was very nervous and untrusting of people. when we were restarting her we were pretty sure that no one had been on her regardless to what he was told. I phoned her x owner up and said did you ever see anyone on your mare and he went no they sent her back saying there was nothing more they could do with her, they had her trotting and doing small poles. Knowing he was gonna throw her out for the winter and forget about her, he also mentioned that they had her for 4 months, i thought it was suspicious. anyway we sent her back after two weeks of lunging her and still bucking like mad at the saddle and several attemps of her going mad when trying to lean across her back. got her back again about 3 weeks later and continued where we left off and at the end of the first week we managed to sit on her, and took another four weeks of walking and trotting slightly on the lunge. well we have just started canter work and small poles, though still don;t know the min shes gonna take of bucking and leaping about. we had a lesson and was chatting to our R.I and mentioned our new horse, and she went i know that horse she was at a local sj yard where i had my horse all winter getting broke. we were puzzled as the horse was sent else where for breaking by the x owner. well turned out that the international eventing yard had attempted to back her and couldn't so sent her off to an international sj yard to get backed and they couldn;t as she was too nervous and just went crazy so sent it back to the eventing yard unbroken who then returned it home unbroken knowing they could blag it off. funny the owner had said when we were trying to help him catch her you would never think she had been broken just trying to catch her. we did her full sister who was even more nervous couple years before and the owner was surprised that we ever got her done but just took an extra week of backing, and she needed the same kind treatment from the start which she wouldn't of got. She needs a lot of topline which is getting there as she was a little light when we got her.

This is overall quite a good event. It is harder than your avg marathon, but well organized. Apparently the course has changed every year since its 2011 inaugural, and the 2013 version featured a lot of rolling terrain. Be ready! The event's course profile looked pasted from mapmyrun and was somewhat inaccurate. Here's what to expect: first 1.2 miles is easy, then you begin 18 miles of gentle rolling hills-the biggest of which is an 81 ft climb from 11.6M to 12.6M. After a 52 ft climb/descent from 17.9 to 19.0, you have 2.7 miles of relative flat. Then you will find 4 more climbs before the finish, in particular a 59 footer from 24.2 to 24.9, and a final 28 footer from 25.8 to 26.1. Yeah, the final 100 meters is downhill. Wahoo! You will feel immensely satisfied. This is an honest man's marathon w/ 662 feet of climbing. If you are looking to pr, beware, and drive the course before racing it! The medal, expo, aid stations, and traffic control were all first rate. Apart from the final mile, fan support was sparse & that's the way I like it. Kudos to the city and the RnR group. Enjoy.
My first marathon, but wanted to post. I think RnR did a great job with this race. It was a good/tough course. Second half was especially challenging including the uphill from 13-15. If I could change one thing, it would be the uphill for the final .2 miles. Nice tech shirt and a very good medal. Volunteers and fellow runners were very kind. Not many fans in the second half, but those present were chearing loud and had passion. I enjoyed the bands/DJ's on the course, good for an extra boost of energy. I was very satisfied with this race.
I ran the full in 2011, and I found it to be a pretty good race. There were a lot of spectators, the bands were good, and the course had some rolling hills, but nothing crazy. For 2013, what a difference. Maybe it was because of the cooler weather or the World Series in town, but there were hardly any spectators at all. In the second half I spent miles and miles running virtually alone (the field dropped from 3,375 to 1,534 from '13 to '11) and no spectators. The worst part were the downhills. They just shredded my legs. One in particular at about the 11 mile mark for like a half mile I really think did me in. Also, it was very expensive. The shirt was OK, the medal kind of crappy. I've run the spring-time St. Louis Go! Full once and that half three times. The Go! is better organized, cheaper, had a better course, and a better 'vibe'...more spectators (or at least some). I will not be running this race again.
While there are elements of RNR races that I don't like, I must admit that the RNR races that I have run have been very well organized and St Louis was no exception. From the expo through the finish area, everything ran like clockwork. They served lemon-lime gatorade which is the way to go and had enough gel on the course. Good shirt and very good medal. Perfect weather, but I won't give them credit for that. The course was difficult, but fair, and was a nice mix of downtown, neighborhood and park. My only complaint was the out and back around mile 21, but even that part was not too bad. I ran with some of the nicest people that it has been my pleasure to meet at a marathon. They truely helped make the time go much faster. While there were not throngs of spectators, the ones who were there were great. Special thanks to the crazy cowbell crew who seemed to be everywhere and never waivered in their enthusiasm. They belong in the spectator Hall of Fame.
Expo and race organization superb. Course aesthetics seem improved over last year. Spectators not numerous but decent in number and very supportive. After the half-marathoners break off, there were still enough marathoners to offer support to each other and keep it exciting. Course well planned with well placed aid stations, rock bands, and music. Although not steep, be prepared for rolling hills between 21.5 and 25.5.
Not generally a fan of 'Rock n Roll' series events - I find them a bit overcrowded, impersonal, and expensive. This was my first time running the STL event, and I was pleasantly surprised! Weather was PERFECT for running, first half of the course was GREAT (nice tour of city neighborhoods), second half a bit boring, although the portion thru Forest Park was pretty, but repetitive. Overall, I thought the course design was very good, with MANY rolling hills. With a few exceptions, I found the hills to be a nice challenge and kept things interesting ... and most of the time, the course gives you a downhill portion to counter most of the climbs. Organization was adequate, which is all I ask for in a race, and I was actually surprised by the number of spectators on the course. I enjoyed the race and would run it again, but be prepared for numerous long rolling hills throughout the course - and a tough climb at mile 13-14. While I don't run races to listen to the bands playing, it did appear that half of the bands seemed to be 'on break' as I ran by ... not a big deal for me, but it seems a bit odd considering the music-theme of the race. Plenty of porta-pottys along the course, water stations well planned (very friendly volunteers!) NICE COURSE, CHALLENGING ROLLING HILLS, BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, BE PREPARED TO RUN SOLO IN SECOND HALF (majority of participants run the Half). I WOULD RUN THIS RACE AGAIN
Horrible course lots of turns with no scenery other than a great view of the arch. Miles and miles of run down buildings showcasing an absolute dump of a city. The Forest Park section was nice but boring. Crowd support was non-existent in the second (marathon) half and entertainment was sparse after the half turn off. That said the course was not hilly at all. Maybe some inclines but nothing compared to KC and San Fran races. The Rock n Roll theme was a joke. Lame (none of which were 'rock') cover bands that half the time weren't even playing. Ugly, poorly designed finisher's medal and tech shirts. Wouldn't recommend this one to anyone. Wouldn't run it again even if it were free.
The race was very well organized. The race course was beautiful beginning and ending with a spectacular view of the arch. The crowd support was the best of any marathon I've run. The race course was very hilly. St. Louis is a wonderful city full of great sports venues, Broadway plays, and wonderful downtown scenery.
We came from Ohio to run the marathon in St. Louis. I ran the full and a friend ran the half. The first half of the course gave us a fantastic look at a beautiful city. The second half wasn't as nice. The course is hilly compared to flat northern Ohio, but organizers can't flatten St. Louis for us. I thought the organization was excellent and the spectators were great. It was an all around great experience.
I was suprised at the hills! I was figured I was in shape to run itleast a few minutes faster and gradually fell off even though the effort was at pace in begining of race. It honestly was very hilly... Of the 21 marathons I have ran this one takes the cake for most hilly. I am not trying to whine to much since I wasnt mislead about course just suprised. Other than that everything was great! Course was manned perfectly and there were great pre-cautions to make sure people were off the course so we could start (there were random people driving around on course at guntime) I recommend this race if you are not shooting for a PR, unless of course your from the area (like the winner who prd) then you know no different. Great day to run also it ended up getting into the 80s later that afternoon.

We decided to take the Fiat instead of the pick-up for a road trip to my family's ranch in the hill country. It was a very pleasant experience. Getting onto the interstate was easy and the little car was able to "hang" with the 18-wheelers no problems at all. When we exited the interstate for the smaller 2-lane state highway, again, no problems. Passing on 2-lane highways always requires a car to move quickly to pass and get back into the driving lane and the Fiat did that with ease. I do think that having the turbo would have made that task much easier.
I can't wait to test drive one in February!
