With a collection of "assault weapons" in the backdrop, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California unleashed what is the most stringent piece of gun-control legislation to hit Capitol Hill this legislative session.
[WALSH: Right Girds for Four More Years of Fight]
Feinstein's bill would prohibit more than 150 specifically named military-style guns, handguns and rifles, the sale of semi-automatic weapons that have detachable magazines over 10 rounds, and military assault weapons that include flash suppressors or pistol grips. Unlike the 1994 assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004, Feinstein said the current legislation will make it more difficult for manufacturers to skirt around the ban.
And unlike the 1994 ban, which sunsetted without much uproar in Congress, this bill will not expire.
The bill grandfathers in 2,200 existing semi-automatic weapons that are used for hunting and sports shooting.
"No weapon is taken from anyone," Feinstein cleared up.
[ALSO: Panetta Defends Obama's Gun Control Package]
The Thursday morning press conference began with a prayer by Rev. Gary Hall, Dean of the National Cathedral, and the acknowledgment that banning many types of semi-automatic weapons will not be easy.
"The gun lobby is no match for the cross lobby," Hall said. "Bless our elected leaders with the wisdom and the courage needed to bring about the changes the people demand."
But the political reality looks bleak for an all-out assault weapons ban. Many Republicans in the House of Representatives have remained silent on the issue. Republicans in the Senate and moderate Democrats would prefer to refocus the conversation on mental health initiatives and school security.
"You have to wonder if a bill that goes this far even gets a mark up," says Jeff Green, a gun manufacturer lobbyist. "The odds are extremely long that an all-out ban would pass the Senate let alone the House."
[READ: The Gun Control Debate, in Plain English]
Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, the only Democrat with an A+ rating from the NRA, says the country must look at how existing laws can be strengthened before Congress tackles more stringent ones.
"Recent tragedies have shaken all of us, and everyone wants to do their part to protect our children and communities from violence of all kinds. Enforcing the laws we already have on the books is good first step, and it's clear more needs to be done to address access to mental health care," Baucus said in an E-mailed statement to US News. "Before passing new laws, we need a thoughtful debate that respects responsible, law-abiding gun owners... instead of a one-size-fits all directives from Washington."
Feinstein acknowledged the challenges ahead when she took the podium during her Thursday morning press conference.
"This is a tough battle," she said. "Our weak gun laws allow these mass killings to be carried out again, [and]again and again, Massacres have taken place in businesses, law practices, malls, movie theaters and especially schools. These massacres don't seem to stop."
Feinstein said the thread running through all of the school shootings from Columbine to Newtown is the fact the gunmen used semi-automatic weapons with high-capacity magazines.
[OPINION: Should the NRA Armed Guard Ad Have Gone After Obama's Kids?]
Feinstein's House co-sponsor for the legislation, Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York took the podium to tell a more personal story. The Congresswoman lost her husband in a mass shooting in 1993. Her son was also severely injured.

Key Trends for Planning a 2012 Ad Budget
Daniel Kehrer shares six must-know trends for planning next year's advertising budget.
By Daniel Kehrer
Founder, BizBest.com
As you plan where to spend precious advertising dollars for your small business in 2012, here are six must-know trends to consider:
1. 2012 Looks like "The Year of Mobile:" Growth of mobile commerce has been nothing short of phenomenal. By next year, most of your customers will have a high-powered computer (which is to say, a mobile smart phone or similar device) in their pocket, purse or the palm of their hand every time they do business with you.
And make no mistake; the mobile explosion has huge implications for small and local businesses. The latest consumer research, for example, shows that over 30 million Americans now use their smart phone for some type of shopping-related activity. This creates important new opportunities for local business owners who get in the mobile game. Now is the time to find out about mobile solutions for your business.
2. The Hottest Action is Online: Back in 2009, a typical small business with an ad budget of some kind spent less than 25% of it in the broad category known as Internet Advertising. That includes Internet yellow pages, banner or display ads on websites, pay-per-click or other online listings, web-based directories, online networks, social media, daily deals and coupon sites, mobile ads, and other digital offerings. That figure has now jumped to 40% and if the industry gurus are correct, will hit 70% in the next three years. For a small business, this trend means one thing for sure: Your competitors are spending more ad dollars to connect with consumers online, and you should too.
3. Small Business Owners can afford to be Picky: Every local business today has a multitude of marketing options available. But it's all too easy to get bogged down in the details of so many different choices, and waste time and money with products or services that don't fit, or don't work. The trend today among local businesses is to work with one major marketing partner that can do the heavy lifting for you, and get you the leads you need without the fuss or bother on your part.
That partner should provide the widest distribution possible for your ads, including print, online, mobile and other digital offerings, and – importantly – focus getting you new business leads, regardless of where they might come from. Such partners will also invest time in learning about you and your business, and how to make the most of your budget.
4. Daily Deal Fatigue is Setting In: Despite the growth of daily deal sites such as Groupon, Living Social and others, there's mounting evidence that many local businesses are pulling back and assessing whether offering such deals actually contributes to longer term growth and profitability. If you offer deals on Groupon, Living Social or other daily deal websites, beware. Detailed new research shows that for scores of local merchants, a hidden side effect is an increase in bad online reviews that can damage your reputation. (That's why it's always a good idea to actively monitor and manage your online reputation.)
5. Local Joins Social: More and more local businesses are carving out at least a small piece of their marketing budget for social media. First and foremost, that requires understanding what social media marketing is all about. A new site called ShopTalk: Social Media (www.dexsocial.com) is rich in how-to articles, ideas, resources and the basics of social media marketing specifically for local business.
6. Print Remains Relevant: This comes as a surprise to some people, but reports of the yellow pages' demise are premature. In spite of all the hype over social media and mobile, print yellow pages remain a proven, reliable and cost effective lead-generator for millions of small businesses. Vastly more people still find local businesses via yellow pages than through social media (74% compared to only 32%). The trick is to integrate or sync your traditional marketing, with online and social media.

SWINDON TOWN: Jabs for the boys
6:00am Saturday 13th October 2012 in Sport By Sam Morshead
SWINDON Town's players received flu jabs on Tuesday in an effort to keep them fit and healthy during the hectic autumn months.
With the Robins set to play important games against Sheffield United and Stevenage in League One and Aston Villa in the fourth round of the Captital One Cup in the space of 10 days, manager Paolo Di Canio wants to ensure his casualty list does not include sore throats and sniffles.
And therefore he and his coaching staff encouraged the entire squad to be vaccinated earlier this week, with all but three players taking up the option.
"We arranged it. I don't know if it is common in clubs in League One and League Two but when I was at West Ham it was. But I never had one," he told the Advertiser.
"I force them to have it because, in my opinion, even if you have two days feeling strange that covers you.
"I never had it because I was strong to look after myself every day with very pure juice, orange juice, every day – especially in October, November and the period where you need vitamin C to have more resistance.
"We are very professional, they follow us now and I'm sure they look after themselves better but it's important that they had it because one or two last year had six days flu, chest infection, missed one game or were on antibiotics and that is important for me.
"If you play two games with 70 per cent of your energy your legs could go empty.
"Since last year we brought this in. We haven't made it obligatory because we can't make it obligatory but we can persuade and say 'have it'.
"It's better because if they go in a closed area it is easy to contract some infection. For me it is crucial.
"This is the period when you take something. We have two or three big games in this period. You have one infection, run at 40 degrees for three days and you're out for one game, come back on antibiotics and are very weak. If you have two or three players together doing that then it is a big deal."

For Toyota, it's not just about hybrids (that is, the Prius). Yesterday, the company announced the results of a sunny 331-mile jaunt in Southern California from Torrance to Santa Monica and back again at the end of June. Toyota engineers, accompanied by U.S. government partners, coaxed 68 miles per kilogram of hydrogen out of the Toyota Highlander Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV-adv). That's a range of 431 miles on a single tank at a fuel cost estimated at $2.50 per 68 miles (for hydrogen produced from natural gas).
That compares very favorably to the 2009 hybrid Toyota Highlander presently on the road, which gets 26 miles per $3.25 gallon of gasoline. The test encompassed a range of driving conditions, from high-speed highways to stop and go on the surface streets of Los Angeles and relied on gas tanks that stored 6 kilograms of hydrogen at 70 bar pressure (10,000 pounds-per-square-inch).
The Obama administration is not impressed with advances towards a hydrogen economy for cars, though, thanks in part to the exorbitant costs of the vehicles and the missing infrastructure. "We asked ourselves, 'Is it likely in the next 10 or 15, 20 years that we will convert to a hydrogen car economy?' The answer, we felt, was 'No,'" said U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu in announcing budget cuts to the government's hydrogen research and development programs back in May of this year.
That hasn't stopped automakers from pursuing a possible hydrogen-car future. In addition to this Toyota test, Honda is leasing its FCX Clarity to a small number of consumers and GM continues to push its Project Driveway, putting fuel cell prototype vehicles in the hands of everyday people, though the executive in charge of it, Larry Burns, will retire later this year as part of that company's ongoing transformation.
Toyota, for its part, seems keen to pursue a range of future technologies for commercial production: hybrids, plug-in hybrids by 2012 and, yes, electric vehicles powered by fuel cells by 2015. "We are proceeding on all these fronts because there is no one solution for future needs, but the need for many," said Toyota President Akio Toyoda in a speech on Wednesday at the Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, Mich. "Because energy solutions that work for Traverse City may not be the best for Shanghai, or Sydney, or Sao Paulo."
The trick, of course, will be making all those hydrogen highway pit stops available, wherever in the world those vehicles are tooling around. Until it's more feasible to gas up a hydrogen car, it will be hard to convince consumers to pay for one.

Previous: Monogamy Is All the Rage These Days
Why does the Federal government need to be involved? Did they help Henry Ford get started? Forward-looking companies should take the initiative and get us to hydrogen-fueled vehicles on their own.
And here's how:
Once we can easily generate the quantities of hydrogen needed, I have a quick and simple way to create a hydrogen infrastructure: fleet vehicles.
This is because fleet vehicles don't typically travel outside a geographic zone. Think of pizza delivery vehicles or vehicles for Post Office workers or taxi cabs or police patrol cars or service vehicles for the local telephone company or cable TV station, etc.
Take a company like GM who has been researching hydrogen vehicles for many years. They can get together with companies which have fuel stations in place then go to a community and offer this deal to fleet managers: "If you sign up for hydrogen-fueled vehicles we will build them and sell them to you at a minimal profit to seed the market. Then while we are building the vehicles our fueling partner here will come to your area and install hydrogen fueling stations."
This would solve multiple problems.
* It would put both vehicles and refueling in place at the same time.
* It will get local mechanics familiar with servicing hydrogen vehicles.
* It would get the general public used to the idea of hydrogen vehicles and ready to purchase them because they know they can get them both fueled and serviced.
Then as multiple towns get their fleet vehicles the fueling companies can start to build refueling facilities along Interstate highways. Think of the New York / Philadelphia / Washington corridor, as an example. Or the Erie to Cleveland to Detroit corridor as another. I'm sure you can think of many more.
I firmly believe by using existing vehicle manufacturing plants and refueling infrastructure we should be able to get well on the road to hydrogen conversion within three years.
If Toyota or GM wants to hire me to implement my idea, please get in touch.
Thank you.

Since H2 is out of favor with the current regime, look for this to possibly be a leader. The government's track record of picking the winning technology is not good. Look at the billions they poured into coal gasification and liquification in the 1970's. Today the feds, along with the states are pouring money into solar and batteries. Look for failure, either from the technologies themselves or the particular companies they have selected.

Since Hydrogen is so highly reactive, It can rarely be found in a free state on earth and therefore must be produced by chemical decomposition at the expense of energy. More energy in fact that can ever be returned by combustion or electrochemical reaction. So where's the energy coming from to produce the Hydrogen?
It seems to me that these mileage tests should be based upon the energy required to produce the Hydrogen instead of its direct use.
Am I missing something ?
Hydrogen cars are a pipe dream
"Once we can easily generate the quantities of hydrogen needed" -- No they can't. Like clk0 said, hydrogen isn't naturally occuring in nature so it needs to be produced. The easiest way to produce it is through electrolysis which is fine, but not energy efficient. But even if you had a convenient way of gather hydrogen you would still need to transport it across the country which is a major problem. Because H2 is the lightest of the noble gases it is also the least dense, making it extremely hard to transfer in pipelines since it would require an ENORMOUS amount of energy. You couldn't even use the existing natural gas infastructure to pipe H2 because hydrogen is highly corrosive. There are many, many other problems.........
"Since Hydrogen is so highly reactive, It can rarely be found in a free state on earth and therefore must be produced by chemical decomposition at the expense of energy. More energy in fact that can ever be returned by combustion or electrochemical reaction. So where's the energy coming from to produce the Hydrogen?"
Well I am going to shock you there by giving you your answer to your question:
From space.
Jupiter is an enormous ball of mostly hydrogen. (Saturn too by the way.)
We have to build automatic space probes who will stay in space permanently keeping doing shutle flight from jupiter to earth.
Then we will have to bring this hydrogen to the ground by one way or another such as a space airplane shuttle system (itself powered by hydrogen/oxygen) or a space pipeline attached to an orbiting space station.
We will still have to study how to recycle the oxygen we burn that will end up as water some of it in earth orbit.
Since with computers all of these can be automated once it is built we will just have to maintain it.
Let's work on this!
it is very likely metamaterials using the suns radiation could infact be used to separate water with oxygen exiting here and hydrogen there.
It is also liekly this break through.. A needs to be thought up (done) and B implemented (10 years say.)
So yes hydrogen may become viable...very viable but probably only with a "simple" solution like metamaterials.
The Canadian government recently concluded that hybrid vehicles are no better for the environment than conventional vehicles. Hydrogen is a quantum leap past hybrid in terms of inefficiency and makes zero in the sense department.
Unless, of course you are part of the Climate Industrial Complex and have your nose in the tax dollar trough, then it is a great idea.
"The Canadian government recently concluded that hybrid vehicles are no better for the environment than conventional vehicles." That's not it at all. Which you would know if you had actually read beyond the headline of the report. Way to completely skew the report.
The Canadian government concluded that offering rebates on hybrid vehicle purchases was not the most cost effective way of reducing carbon emissions. There were several reasons for this conclusion. First two-thirds of people using rebates were planning on buying a hybrid anyway, so the program was merely subsidizing this group rather than changing consumer behavior (the goal of a subsidy). Secondly, almost everyone else switched to hybrids from small cars, rather than SUVs. Small cars are relatively fuel efficient anyway, creating smaller environmental gains than anticipated.
Nowhere does it state that hybrid vehicles are no better for the environment than conventional vehicles. It focused on the economics of a program that provided small environmental gains, much smaller than anticipated, for an amount of money that could be used to greater effect elsewhere. The failure is in getting people driving gas-guzzlers to change to a hybrid vehicle.
AtlantaTerry: Yes, the Federal government did help Henry Ford, and the other car makers, by building the national highway system, without which automobiles would have been of very limited use.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisSorry, but this argument doesn't make much sense... :) This is what they do now also. Ford and all the other car makers had to finance anything else themselves, and financed the Federla governments on top with taxes.

Many balls in the air as the draft approaches
Well, it was certainly nice to catch up with Bryan and chat about the draft a little bit but after an hour or so of sitting around and asking questions and telling stories and mining for information, this much is clear:
Not much is clear.
Oh, there's a guess and a narrowing of the field that's gone on and that's just natural but there are lots of balls still in the air with just over a week left until draft day.
If I had to guess from various conversations with people around the league and other work that I've done, I'd say Lillard, Rivers, Waiters and Lamb are the four favourites right now but I don't know that there's a definitive order and a lot of it will depend on who's there on draft night.
I do get the sense from those conversations that a trade is a very real possibility as long as it yields another pick, not necessarily in the lottery but definitely in the first round. They want another young piece but would live with getting one later in the first if they could get some immediate help.
But, again, there's an awful lot of time left between now and the draft for things to change and Thursday's workouts – Sullinger, Perry Jones, Terrence Jones, perhaps John Henson and maybe Lamb if they can get him back in – is significant because a few of those guys are in the 13-18 range, perhaps, and would be someone taken with a later pick acquired in a trade.
It's going to be an interesting week, I have a feeling; and some of the stuff you read might actually happen. Not much, but some.
Oh yeah, The People and I are gonna be fast friends; or at least with a few of 'em.
We will be back at 9 p.m. for an IGBT if we can all stay awake that late but there's also a noon chat if you'd care to join.
It's loads of fun, am sure there'll be draft stuff and Finals stuff and who knows what else.
Come on by.
Let me get this straight:
A trio of 20-something pro athletes take a night off, get hammered in the club, end up in a street brawl with cops and get themselves arrested?
Colour me shocked.
I tell ya, if you can find a hidden local with solid burgers, good pizza, passable wings, friendly staff and a jukebox with this on it that stays open 'til 3 a.m. after games, steps from your hotel, you've found a gem.
Better than South Beach, I tell ya.
Who is R.A. Dickey and why does he seemingly throw nothing but one-hitters.
This Mets dude, with an 85-mile an hour knuckleball, is becoming the greatest story of the baseball season and I'm not sure enough people appreciate what he's doing.
I don't know much about knuckleballs except that I couldn't hit one and they seem to be the last gasp of failed minor leaguers who retire to, say, South Buffalo to live out their dotage, but for Dickey to throw one that hard and that well is amazing.
Every season we see one amazing baseball story, I thought early this season it'd be Josh Hamilton but now it's Dickey, who is 11-1 and hasn't given up an earned run in about forever.
Great story, better start following it.
More Raptors?
Not an awful lot except that it's a big week for Valanciunas, whose national team is deep in preparations for the final Olympic qualification tournament that starts early next month own in Venezuela.
He and the Lithuanians will be in Houston this weekend for a couple of games – Great Britain, Russia and Nigeria will be there as well – and you know that Bryan, the Henchmen and the coach will be in attendance.
There is an off chance Valanciunas still plays in the summer league, too. If Lithuania doesn't make it to the Olympics – which is a longshot – the Raptors will try to get him from Venezuela to Vegas to start his NBA career.
Speaking of Valanciunas and getting back to our chat with Bryan, the impending arrival of the young big man has actually made this process this year a bit easier, according the president.
"I think it's almost been made easier by the fact we know we have a significant piece coming that would be regarded as the second-best player in this draft."
Really? Second overall?
"It's been told to me by countless people so at some point you start believing it, it's not just an internal thought. It's an external thought as well. We feel very good about that."
As well they should.
And it's allowed them, to some degree, to avoid wasting an awful lot of time on available bigs.
"It kind of talks to the argument of do you take best player or position, we kind of figured that that position is somewhat covered so maybe the (Tyler) Zellers and Myers Leonards of the world have not really been in the flow with our draft process. We've studied them, we've scouted them but we haven't put a lot effort into the process of digging deep right now because of the Valanciunas piece."
Riddle me this:
How utterly bored are you by Roger Clemens and that lengthy trial that ended in acquittal yesterday?
If you're me, you're bored to absolute tears and when the news broke breathlessly that he was not guilty, it elicited nothing more than a yawn.
Look, it doesn't matter to the casual sports fan whether the courts found Clemens guilty of lying to the US Congress or not, if you think he used steroids before, you're not going to change you're mind; if you've been a supporter, this is vindication.
Personally? I think he did take some kind of juice, whether a gaggle of high-priced lawyers muddied the waters enough to get him an acquittal or not. That's my opinion after seeing some testimony in the past and more recently and it's not going to change.
I suspect that's a predominant feeling around the sports world.
Oh, hang, on, I misremembered that I don't care.
Carry on.
So, before the little chat with Bryan we had a wee bit of face time with the Commissioner after the competition committee meeting and it was pretty entertaining.
While nothing has been decided, the one thing that jumped out is that there is some kind of consideration being given to some kind of retroactive penalties being assessed to floppers.
We know it's a difficult call for refs to make in real time – there is a split second to make a decision and often no one notices until the TV replays show it – so the committee (of which Bryan is a member) figures having something like a points system where video is used either post-game or the next morning to hit the floppers is a good idea to pursue.
That makes entire sense to me, it's a way to accrue fines or points that might eventually lead to suspensions, like they do with technical fouls now, and might at least cut down on one of the scourges of the game.

I think there's no way they decrease season ticket prices, although it will be interesting to see what they do with face value/public ticket prices, and dynamic pricing.

Similarly, if they let market demand dictate "dynamic" pricing, I don't see any games going above public face value. |

And no, not because the team is bad... that's merely a factor. Maybe you shouldn't have stopped reading after I begged the question. |

First, this looks legit, although I agree it's hard to believe. Published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Second, I agree with Profwoot, and would take his points one step further. I suspect the pictures are deceiving. I suspect that visually and radiographically this ligament is indistinguishable from other structures that it is physically attached to... joint capsule, LCL, ITB, etc. Yet, when you "dissect out" a structure, you are typically clearing all of those structures away... leaving us with a picture that gives the impression of "why the hell didn't we see that before?" Surgically, we are talking about the lateral aspect of the knee, which is the least often injured, and, subsequently, least operated on portion of the knee (how many times have you heard of an LCL tear? Exactly.). Plus, it sounds as though this structure is quite deep... (layer III) underlying the ITB insertion, and I can't think of any reason anyone would be cutting the ITB to get underneath it... subsequently, this area would go unexplored in the vast majority of knee surgeries. I Think a better question is why haven't radiologists noticed this on the millions of knee MRIs that have been done? But I suspect the answer is as above... when not dissected out, it's likely to be radiographically indistinguishable from the surrounding structures. It does strike me as odd that this has made it as far as the lay press, and yet none of the authors or reporters are addressing the obvious question of why this is billed as a new discovery. And thank you OP, for letting me post something that has nothing to do with th efootball team. |

IAG Bibliographic Service
In addition to the Fast Bibliography within the IAG Newsletter of the Journal of Geodesy the IAG Bibliographic Service mainly informs the geodesists who are associated in the IAG about current geodetic literature from all over the world.
For the IAG Bibliographic Service geodetic journals and other periodicals, publications of research institutes, manuals and text books as well as congress papers are analyzed. The documentalists choose such sources for the service that are relevant to the activities of the Sections, Commissions, Special Commissions und Special Study Groups.
These literature sources are available either in the library of the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG) (library symbol F128 or L191) or in the library of the Deutscher Verein für Vermessungswesen (library symbol B729).
The topicality of the sources recorded in the IAG Bibliographic Service is dependent on the date of their arriving at the library of the BKG. German-language literature und conference proceedings on geodesy are processed as a rule within 3 weeks after receipt.
Each literature record contains
- the bibliographic description of the source according to the commonly known rules.
- the descriptors in German. They inform about the content of the recorded source.
- in most cases an abstract, if possible in English. The abstacts are often taken from the source or are processed by the documentalists on the basis of the summary, the conclusions, or the list of contents of the source.

Collection 4: Ivall Redux
I've got a handful of new concepts to share from Mike Ivall. He's tackling Predators, Thrashers and Islanders as well as revisiting the Bolts and Leafs.
Knowing the Lightning are looking to ditch the black and silver and go with a blue/white color scheme, Mike thought perhaps they might try a two-tone blue. Personally, I'm a fan.
A lot of you have been asking about how to make your own concept art. Unfortunately, there's no simple or quick way to throw stuff together. Most of the designers who submit work are very talented graphic artists with knowledge of image editing software. If you want something free to get started, look up something like Gimp or Inkscape. I'd love to put together some kind of tutorial, but it's not really that simple. I will try to get together some templates at some point though. So keep an eye out for that.

I had never changed a motorcycle tire before using these. It is a struggle but i now use them to replace tires my self when ever they ware out. Nice to have with my in the woods. I removed the guts from a 12v car air compressor and replaced the cigarette liter plug with the battery tender plug so my bike can run it. I can fit this stripped down air compressor and a tube in this bag. I have not notched my fender and it does slide around a bit. I only use it on the trail but commute every day on the same bike so it wasn't a big deal to me since it not on all the time. It also does block my head light a great deal.

I wish I would have read the dimensions before buying this. I would have never gotten it. It appears well made and I may use it one day, but it's simply too small to use as a primary tool bag for long dual sport rides.

I thought I had this thing as tight as possible. I even had the front two hooks wedged between the fender and side panels. But, about 4-5 miles into an enduro I heard a strange noise, when I looked down the bag was wrapped around my rear tire and sprocket. Of corse all of tools and spares had fallen out already. I figure it was around a $100 oops. Next time I will buy a bag that bolts on.

Well now that there are so many stickies I find it a nuisance to look at which threads are stickied, and which ones are regular.
So what I am suggesting is take the topic gradient, and make a dividing bar under the stickied topics, it makes forums look a lot neater and organized, and looks good in general.
Here is what it might look like:

Although it would have to be something better than Ordinary Topics lol, that sounds a little too weird.
Still a nice idea, makes things easier to find, but then, look at the PS3 Discussion section, it has like maybe 10 sticky'd topics...it looks good when its like 2-5 topics, but more than that an it looks awkward...I have no signature.
No, really, i don't. You're just imagining this.

That is a great idea. I do hate to look at the sticky's first and then the general topics after. That will save time. The Admins must put this one in full force.

I would be extremely honored to serve on the HEMA Alliance's Governing Council. While I believe I still have a lot to yearn (a gross understatement), I am confident that the HEMA Alliance can greatly benefit from my dedicated participation. I view my current position (in relation to study of the sword, and my entrance into this community) as the first part of a lifelong journey. Though I don't have the experience and knowledge base that many do, what I do have is commitment, passion, and organizational skills that are on-par with anyone in the community. I am willing to put forth the time and effort that a position on the GC requires. I am committed to doing what it takes to facilitate the learning, and progress of our arte.
I have had numerous positions in business and management, including running my own business. I am currently furthering my education and have been very active in my local fencing club. I love the "administration" parts of fencing clubs as well as the fencing itself. I am also a dedicated writer and I believe those skills could greatly benefit the HEMA Alliance. I bring great organizational skills in records, finances, project brainstorming and creation, as well as a unique perspective that stems from my age, gender, and beginner level.
I have been studying classical fencing for two and a half years and historical weapons since the beginning of this year. I teach classical foil and run my own satellite club (a division of Baited Blade, my home fencing club). I don't have a lot of fencing credentials, but I do have this: I am willing to do the work, spend the time, and study in both the arte, as well within the GC. I can be trusted to make a difference. I will be where I say I will be. I'll do what I say I'll do.
There are so many wonderful individuals who can bring a lot to the HEMA Alliance through their participation on the GC. If elected, I promise to put forth the effort that the position requires. If not elected (due, no doubt, to the high caliber of other individuals) I will still work to better the HEMA Alliance, and myself.
I welcome any questions, comments, or concerns on this thread and am eager to discuss the possibilities that the coming year holds for us.

Apple snags iPad trademark from Fujitsu
When Apple first announced the iPad, it did not own the trademark on the name. Now, after some negotiating with Fujitsu, it does, and just in time for its touch-screen tablet to go on sale next week.
The blog PatentAuthority tracked down the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office document Friday that shows Fujitsu turned the iPad trademark over to Apple officially on March 17. Though it's not disclosed, we can assume that Fujitsu was compensated in some way for assigning that trademark, which it has owned since 2003, to Apple.
Here's the document showing Apple's ownership … Read more

While every woman on Earth universally thinks the name iPad is stupid, Fujitsu still wants to own it. We'll tell you about the Fujitsu iPad which has existed since 2002 and why Apple thinks they can still own the name anyway. We also look at the MSI tablet which may be much better than iPad. But will you buy it? And we hear from a man who is drunk and frozen in Maine.

LAS VEGAS--How small is too small? For those with an ultraportable obsession, consider this year's pocket-computer of note, the Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 Multi-Touch handheld PC. While there more than a few passing similarities to Sony's Vaio P series of ultra-small laptops announced just one year ago, Fujitsu's adds one or two additional tweaks to the formula.

IDC: Server market shows glimmer of hope
Third-quarter sales of servers across the globe showed a 17.3 percent decline from the same quarter in 2008, sagging to $10.4 billion, according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker.
But server shipments improved, falling only 17.9 percent for the quarter, compared with 30.1 percent in the second quarter, noted the IDC report released Wednesday. Even more promising, shipments grew at a healthy 12.4 percent over the second quarter, the market's largest sequential quarterly gain since 2005.
All three server segments tracked by IDC--volume, midrange enterprise, and high-end enterprise--saw lower third-quarter sales compared with … Read more

These flexible RFID tags can take the heat
With radio frequency identification tags already showing up in school uniforms, it makes sense they'd make their way into other types of uniforms as well.
But what to do when said uniforms are worn in manufacturing plants where garments have to be sterilized with heat so microorganisms and other outside pollutants don't contaminate the goods? Wouldn't the RFID tags turn into goop?
Funny you should ask. Fujitsu has come up with a flexible, ultra high frequency (UHF)-band RFID tag that can withstand temperatures up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (much, much hotter than CNET's New York … Read more

Keller Williams
Click here to learn more
Much has been made of Williams impressive array of stage gear. Hes willing to go on at length about each instrument and the complexities of creating loops and samples in real time, with nothing being pre-recorded. But isnt into technology for its own sake. Williams explains, My style evolved organically out of hours and hours of being on stage with one guitar and one mic. I wanted to create more of a dance vibe and make it more interesting for myself, and hopefully more interesting for the audience, too.
Williams is also a prolific recording artist, with ten albums and a DVD in his discography each of which carry one word titles. The latest CD in Williams growing catalogue is GRASS – credited to Keller & the Keels. The self-released album is a delightfully bizarre collection of anything-but-traditional bluegrass songs. Like most recordings from Keller, GRASS is self indulgent and possibly offensive to those who lack a sense of humor, but Keller had a damn good time recording it. For the project, Keller teamed up with old buddy and award-winning flat picker Larry Keel on guitar, and Larrys beautiful rock-solid in-the-pocket acoustic bass playing wife, Jenny Keel. The result is an organic and airy acoustic record featuring 10 songs, originals and unexpected covers tunes, that yield to a pure love of music. Williams farcical humor and the stellar picking of the ensemble is evident on the albums original tunes. Goofballs is a late night driving song, Williams says. You're trying to stay awake to avoid a wreck and start thinking the weirdest things to stay alert. Local (Outdoor Organic) is a ballad about supporting local organic farmers. Crater in the Backyard showcases the trios instrumental prowess and talks about the wide-open spaces that get turned into strip malls and subdivisions.
Williams was born and raised in Fredericksburg, Virginia. My mom and dad sang in church and my mom played some piano, but their main instrument was the stereo, Williams quipped. I had a guitar at age three, but didnt learn any chords until I was 13, when a friend showed me three primary chords. I started copying songs off of classic rock radio. A few years later I started performing. Williams played in cover bands in high school and college, but he was also playing solo in non-music venues. I hit up restaurant owners and played while people were eating. The people weren't there for music, so between songs there would be awkward silences. I started stringing songs together, so there wouldnt be any silence. William's college band got good enough to build a regional following and open for national acts that came through town. When the band broke up, Williams went back to his day, or late afternoon – early evening job, of playing in restaurants. In 1995 Williams moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for two years, then from 1997 to 2000 he had no address at all, living in campgrounds, truck stops and cheap ass motel rooms, playing constantly, sometime seven gigs a week, and barely making ends meet. But it honed his guitar playing and stage show to a fine edge.
"I saw The String Cheese Incident on my first stop in Colorado. They were playing a basement bar after the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 1995. They were bouncing from reggae, to bluegrass, to rock, to salsa. I approached them as a fan and told them Id be happy to open for them for free. They took me up on that offer and I jumped onto their West Coast tour in spring of 1997. They were just starting to build their grassroots following, and I had so much fun opening and then going into the audience and dancing. Williams was already experimenting with looping, using a delay unit to so he could play along with himself. Then he opened a few shows for Victor Wooten, who had made an art out of creating loops on stage. Victor opened my ears and eyes to how you can use live phrase sampling (looping) on stage. Once I saw what he was doing, I incorporated it into my style and came up with my own recipes. As more young people started coming to my shows, I added bass guitar and realized I could fill up a venue with the whole spectrum of sound. The loops push me musically and open up different avenues for me to go down. My songs are deeply rooted in guitar and vocals. Looping is used to create a jam section, though there are some exceptions, where I set up a loop and sing over the top of it."
Williams started recording albums in 1993 and cut three albums on his own dime FREEK, BUZZ and SPUN – before signing up with SCI Fidelity Records. Since he started recording, Williams has turned out almost one album a year, including three of his most successful releases: LAUGH (2002), HOME (2003) and his double live release STAGE (2004). I like one word titles because they sum up the process with the least amount of syllables.
Williams is currently finishing work on his next studio project YOUTH. "I've been at it for two and a half years and hope to have it out in fall of 2006. Its a collaborative process. I've flown all over the country to do sessions with my heroes and there are still more tracks to be done with more heroes at press time. To name drop a few: Bob Weir, Victor Wooten, Charlie Hunter, Derrek Phillips, Steve Kimock, John Molo, Martin Sexton, The String Cheese Incident, Sanjay Mishra and Fareed Haque to name just a few."

I've created a workflow that stores its start date and time plus 10 minutes to a variable and then repeats the process with 20 and 30 minutes. Once in production this will go up to a few days each.
The workflow will pause until each variable and then do a check and possible action. The logic and action of the workflow seems to be fine however I'm having a strange problem with the calculated dates.
They have been calculated at the start perfectly however when it comes to pausing for the second time the month and day column is being switched and I will suddenly need to wait until the 1st October instead of the 10th January. I've also noticed the time goes from 24 Hour to AM/PM.
As you'll see in the images the variables are initially stored correctly.
Any ideas welcome!
