Read Othello's That I Did Love The Moor soliloquy below with modern English translation & analysis:
Spoken by Desdemona, Othello, Act 1, Scene 3
That I did love the Moor to live with him,
My downright violence and storm of fortunes
May trumpet to the world: my heart's subdued
Even to the very quality of my lord:
I saw Othello's visage in his mind,
And to his honour and his valiant parts
Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.
So that, dear lords, if I be left behind,
A moth of peace, and he go to the war,
The rites for which I love him are bereft me,
And I a heavy interim shall support
By his dear absence. Let me go with him.
"That I Did Love The Moor" Soliloquy Translation:
I love the Moor enough to live with him. My heart is his entirely. I became aware of Othello's qualities and dedicated my soul and my future to him. So, dear Senators, if I were to be left behind while he goes to war, I would be deprived of all the things I love him for and it would be very hard for me to be without him. Let me go with him.'

Yeah that 2.56V is fake, cpu-z bug. One user from OC kingpin cooling who posted this info at guru3d forums said so.. I take his word for granted, becasuse he's no noob ^^ And if you look at that quad 6.2Ghz @ only 1.21v Anyway I can't wait to get my hands on 4770K, looks like 5.4ghz won't be a problem, probably 6.2 ghz for sure, woot! :]
Right, but that (clearly) isnt a 24/7 thing... so, who cares how many DIMMs it ran. Just like who cares how many cores it was running to get there (as people moan "zOMG thats only on two cores...."). Things are a bit different with Haswell, it seems, compared to SB and IB overclocking.
I think I should also point out that last I heard Haswell's max multi was 63, not 77 on k-edition CPUs. I wish I caught that sooner even though I already knew the vcore was bogus, now I know the entire thing is bogus.
"With unlocked "-K" chips, you get the freedom to step up base clock multiplier for the CPU cores all the way up to 80.0x for 100 MHz, up to 64.0x for 125 MHz, and up to 48.0x for 166 MHz; which if used right, could result in some awesome CPU clock speeds in the neighborhood of 8.00 GHz."
Did anyone take note that this was done with just hyperthreading turned off (and a single DIMM, but still)? Most of these extreme overclocks only allow 1 or 2 cores to reach speeds in excess of 6-6.5GHZ, mostly due to stability. But this little gem did it with all 4 physical cores! Maybe that's why CPU-z reads 2.62v, hmmmm.
So I gut into the multiplier deal a bit more and I don't see anything that confirms those multiplier numbers. Those are from the rumor mill according to TomsHardware.com and hasn't been confirmed. I'll save the speculation until we get some real facts. Or maybe it means that it is fake...
Of course it is a cherry picked sample, that is pretty given. And have you ever seen some of the extreme shit these extreme overclockers do to their motherboards? They add phases, bridge phases from other motherboard into one, etc. Have you never seen that? This was a suicide run, obviously, and they'll do crazy shit just to get a CPUz screenshot before the system dies.
Yeah, that's how they double current, not voltage. The point is that you would need to at least replace all of the caps with ones that support twice the voltage (which could easily translate to caps that are twice in size.) Now that you've swapped out the caps you would need to hack the BIOS because the caps will burst if you even attempt to run VRMs at this voltage. Also if the capacitance of any of the different phases changes, you need more than a custom bios, you need to update it to handle the hardware changes you've made. Also the addon board you speak of I've only seen for Kepler-based GPUs since voltage control is locked. I've yet to see this for the motherboard and CPU power phases, but once again there is a different reason for that. It would have died the second it booted with a voltage like that. LN2 doesn't let you overcome physical limitations like the breakdown voltage of the caps. You'd pop the caps (haha!) before the VRMs could even charge.
Interesting as I said in the AMD thread not a single nay-sayer about an Intel chip clocking high in a completely useless LN2 infused scenario.
Maybe there wasn't but my opinion is, in a nutshell the same. If they cripple the CPU just to get a huigh clock it' worthless. So disabling L2/L3 caches, HT and cores falls into that category.
CPU-Z says 4 cores, just with that it's already a lot more impressive than that FX record OC that turned off 7 of the 8 cores.
It looks like Intel is trying to sway public opine because Haswell only delivers 5%-10% improvement over Ivy Bridge, which was barely better in performance than Sandy Bridge.
But if it can be overclocked to 6GHz so easily, with an even higher IPC than Ivy Bridge, it could cause quite a stir in the enthusiast world. Think of all the people who will be rushing to get one of these, even people already sitting on the top end. There's a lot of people like me who are sitting on much older yet still very capable hardware who may want to upgrade as well.
Yeah, pair that with overclocks in the 5Ghz-5.5Ghz range and you have a substantial increase in performance. I suspect Haswell will overclock better than IVB does.
I said last time I heard and said nothing about doing research. I stand corrected but there are nicer ways to come about saying it. Don't be a smart ass.
So true. Does this example work better? Say change... to... i.e. turning the comment into a question rather than accusing rtiueuiurei of falsifying their benchmarking results based on your incomplete knowledge base. I don't know, but if you're throwing out words like "bogus" and "now I know", wouldn't you at least spend 30 seconds making sure you were standing on solid ground ?
I already said that I got it wrong and you don't have to go about saying how else I could have said it. All you're doing is fishing for me to lose my cool and it's about the most immature thing someone can do on these forums can do. How about you stop trying to piss me off already. If you can't act like a civil human being you can take you bantering and self-righteous attitude to GN where it will be welcomed.

N-able Technologies is beta testing a new tool that would allow MSPs to manage and support mobile devices using Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems, according to executives. The mobile device management functionality is expected to be generally available to N-able partners by January, which is welcome news to MSPs that have been waiting for N-able to add MDM.
Robert Grapes, director of product management at N-able, told attendees at N-able's Global Partner Summit in Montreal Thursday that they will be able to manage devices, including iOS versions, with insight into information such as whether or not roaming is on or off or GPS is enabled or not in order to track devices. In addition, MSPs can see the current battery charge, how much space is being used and what applications are installed on the device, he said.
"If the device is lost, you can mark it as such. You can choose to erase the data if you want. It gives you the capability to control those tasks," Grapes said.
[Related: Intel, N-able Team For Hybrid Cloud Server Solution]
Gavin Garbutt, CEO of N-able, noted during his keynote that smartphones surpassed PCs in sales last year and that the gap will continue to widen through 2015.
"These things are beautiful, elegant, intuitive. It's the one thing I've seen in my lifetime that's really taken over," Garbutt said.
Chris Reid, product manager at N-able Technologies, told partners that the company's N-central 9.1 remote monitoring and management platform will support MDM for iOS and Android, as well as separate mobile devices from other devices on the network.
"Customers are bringing their own device, and they want access to corporate resources. Other [companies] provide devices to customers. What's really important is that those doing BYOD vs. providing hardware, the provisioning needs to be different. It needs to be flexible. We've taken into account that scenario as well," Reid said.
The news was met with applause from partners at the conference, some of whom said they'd been waiting for MDM functionality.
"It is something we're excited about," said Todd Bartlett, Senior Consultant at Practical Networks, Lower Southampton, Pa. "We have a couple of customers who come to mind quickly that have been struggling with 'Do we continue with Blackberry, do we go with iPhone,' and the questions are how do we manage that, how do we bring them into the enterprise and have security. So this is right on time for us."
Ted Warner, president of Connecting Point of Greeley, Colo., said hearing details about MDM was the main reason he came to Global Partner Summit.
"I looked at it yesterday, and I'm thrilled. It sounds like we'll be able to buy it for about $1 a license. We'll probably be able to go to market with it in the $4 or $5 range. I've got a whole wealth of clients that want this, that come to us and say I've got iPads, iPhones, Android devices that we need to manage,'" Warner said. "Last week, two school districts, one said they're buying 500 iPads, another said they're buying 900 iPads. They said 'Connecting Point, can you please manage these for us? We need to know where they are, what's on them, and to control the applications.' Now with the tool like this, we'll be able to do this."

Comments: Tried to say that I like "the color" but it came up as "good color options".......DIDN'T want to say that..... |
Comments: [...] for my upcoming wedding, I will try them soon. |
Comments: just relax and enjoy |
Comments: appealing colors , superior taste and right size |
Comments: Great color, but the taste simply does not deliver. I was unable to eat this product because the taste was too strange and unappealing. Not at all up to the quality of nearly every other JB product. |
Comments: Great flavor with just enough sweetness. We mixed these with Pomegranate Martini and Kiwi (our wedding colors) for wedding favors. |
Comments: I decided to try to remember each each JB I ate in a mixed bag so I could remember the one I hate. This is it. |
Comments: Just a good candy |
Comments: We used these in combination with grape crush and pina colada, to get the three colors needed for bladder cancer awareness. We decorated the tables with them, like party favors, at my father's Celebration of Life. It was a hit and a colorful way to send a message. |
Comments: I bought the blueberry, cotton candy, and lime jelly bellys for my niece's wedding shower as favors for her guests. Her wedding colors are navy blue, pink and lime green. The guests loved them and raved how great they taste. |
Comments: Eating this kind before sweet flavors enhances the sweetness of the other flavors. Reason: this kind is sour/bitter. |
Comments: I bought these for wedding favors and am excited to use them. I haven't tasted the Jelly Belly beans, but I know they couldn't fail because they are a Jelly Belly product. They look good and that is all that matters. |
Comments: worst taste ever. got a 16 oz of them ate a few and chucked the rest. |
Comments: I got these for my sister for her birthday and WOW was she thrilled. Other than a blue tongue after sucking on them and scarfing them down, everything was great! |
Comments: Gave this to my Goddaughter for her birthday - her favorite flavor is blueberry - and she loved them! Made a unique and tasty treat/gift! |

On June 4th, President Obama announced three new hand-chosen nominees for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Perhaps attempting to reassure Americans of his decision, the President made very clear that he was not "court packing" and that he isn't filling the "Second Highest Court in the Country" with "hacks."
JAG's Executive Director, James Christophersen writes on National Review Online's Bench Memos blog about President Obama's apparent continued dedication to nominating "judges who rely on widely varying personal views to reach subjective, and thus uneven, interpretations of the United States' laws." One of the most recent examples of this "empathy standard" is Judge Michael McShane.
President Obama nominated Halligan to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on September 29th, 2010, but neither Democrats nor Republicans have reacted positively to this radical nomination. On December 6th, 2011, Halligan's nomination failed a Senate cloture vote, falling well short of the 60 votes required to proceed. Nevertheless, President Obama has re-nominated Halligan four times, marking a total of five times her nomination has been submitted to the Senate, and five times it has gone unapproved.
Click the link below to read Judicial Action Group's six-page research paper detailing Halligan's concerning positions on Gun Rights, War Crimes of Terrorists, Marriage, Judicial Pay, and even Constitutional Amendments.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) accidentally drew back the curtain on fabricated tales of Republican obstructionism and revealed the dark secret of Democrats who have been promoting "gridlock" in the U.S. Senate for nearly a full four years. It happened so quickly anyone who blinked missed it. While proclaiming the need for filibuster "reform" and complaining of its over use by the minority, Senator Reid continues to apply his own obstructionis tactics, limiting debate and preventing Senators of both parties from submitting their own ideas through amendments.
Click the button below to read the full article in its original publication on Red Alert Politics.
Last week, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman and long-time Senator, Patrick Leahy (D-VT), took to the floor of the Senate demanding minority party Senators immediately acquiesce to confirmation of numerous judicial nominees who, he suggests, face no objections or opposition by any Senators. Unfortunately for Senator Leahy, his privileged positions on this highly regarded committee for the past thirty-three consecutive years appears to have distorted his ability to differentiate between the 100-member United States Senate, and the 19-member Judiciary Committee, which is selected to perform a preliminary review of these nominees.
Part of our mission here at JAG is to pray for judicial renewal and spiritual renewal for America. Toward that end, we have launched the Lamb of Hope Campaign 2012. We invite you to be a part of this campaign by taking 30 seconds of your time right now to join thousands of others in prayer for America. Also, please share the message by getting your Lamb of Hope t-shirt.
We believe that in order for America truly to change, two things must happen:
There has been much speculation about the electoral impact of Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion and whether it was really a clever political move mirroring the legendary Chief Justice John Marshall from more than two centuries ago. These are all interesting topics – but they raise a broader question about whether a judge – even a Chief Justice – should be concerned about anything other than honestly deciding a case. To be sure, they should not.
Today, Judicial Action Group delivered a letter co-signed by the leaders of more than 50 conservative and pro-life organizations to Senator Jon Kyl questioning the Senator's support for President Obama's nominee to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: Andrew David Hurwitz. Hurwitz has been recognized by many as the "architect" of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court opinion renowned for "legalizing" abortion in the United States and decried by nearly all legal experts as a textbook example of judicial activism.
Follow the button below to read the Tale of Two Nominees recently nominated by President Obama to two vacant seats on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Both are young legal professionals with similar educations and career experiences - they both even attended the same law school a mere three years apart.
However, a few key differences in the records of these nominees led to the confirmation of one, and should lead to the defeat of the other.
When high-ranking White House and Department of Justice officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, met with "citizen lobbyists" from across the country last week, the invitation list revealed much about the President's intentions on nominees. Cast as a "strategy session" to encourage reduction of judicial vacancies throughout the Federal Judiciary, the meeting and joint effort to lobby on behalf of radical nominees pending before the Senate reinforced the President's unwavering determination to force unqualified nominees through the Senate rather than appoint better judges.
Four years ago, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, argued that certain judicial nominees of President Bush should not be confirmed during the last six months of his presidency. Just as a baseball coach cannot change the special ground rules of a particular game when his team comes to bat, Chairman Leahy must apply the same rule to President Obama's judicial nominees that Leahy applied to President Bush's judicial nominees.
The Awakening 2012 will be an in-depth Prayer and Patriotism event where people are united by our love for our country's freedom and our faith in Christ. You can choose breakout sessions with topics from Israel to immigration, from our families to our nation's future. Click below to get more information about speakers, tickets, and the schedule for this exciting event!
In November, Attorney General Eric Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee that whenever discussion in his conference room turned to ObamaCare, they physically removed Elena Kagan (then Solicitor General) from the room. Holder seemed almost proud of the fact that he and his deputies physically removed their own chief appellate lawyer from the room, as though it was the honorable or ethical thing to do. However, as is explained below, neither ethics nor honor required Kagan's removal from the room. Why then was she removed?
Memo for the Movement: On January 4, President Obama purported to single-handedly appoint four individuals to Executive Branch positions which require confirmation by the U.S. Senate. Today, JAG President Phillip Jauregui, joined thirty-two prominent Americans, representing a broad cross section of the Conservative movement, in condemning the President's Unconsitutional installments of Richard Cordray, and three others.

Nomination of Steve Six Will Not Move Forward
Steve Six, nominated by President Obama to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, was a troubling judicial nominee from the start. What ultimately prevented his confirmation, however, was his lack of candor when answering questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Senator Leahy said on Thursday that he had received a letter from Senators Roberts and Moran reiterating the opposition to Six they had stated more than a month ago, and that, "…in deference to the objections of the Kansas Senators to our proceedings on the nomination of Six to the 10th Circuit, we will not go forward."
Recently, voters in Kansas dumped Six from his position as Attorney General, but President Obama has wasted no time trying to find him a new job on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals – a job where Six will NOT be accountable to voters. Steve Six's confirmation must be stopped, and NOW is our best opportunity. The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Six's nomination THIS THURSDAY – so Please ask members of the Senate judiciary committee to vote "no" on Steve Six. Click below to learn a little about Steve Six's record.
Cloture Invoked on the McConnell Nomination
Today's cloture vote initiated by Senate Democrats clearly indicates that the numerous ethical concerns raised about judicial Rhode Island District Court nominee John McConnell will not be afforded serious consideration. While Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid praised the vote as one which "will make the atmosphere around here so much more pleasant," his filing for cloture actually ignores substantial concerns raised by Republican lawmakers. Through this vote, Democrats have pushed to confirm a politically motivated nomination instead of working to improve the 'atmosphere' surrounding confirmations.
Why the Proper Judicial Function is to Side with The Constitution Over ObamaCare
Liberal defenders of judicial activism have developed some interesting talking points in recent months, especially in light of two recent District Court rulings on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, aka "ObamaCare"). As these courts have rightly recognized the unconstitutional overreaches of ObamaCare's individual mandate, liberal voices have suddenly risen in chorus decrying these decisions as cases of "conservative judicial activism" and "judicial overreach." While it is true that "activism" can occur in favor any political philosophy, the measure of activism is based on constitutional criteria not political criteria.

Any story or commentary about the murder accusation against the inspirational Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius must begin with the presumption that he is innocent. Police arrived at Pistorius's home to find the disabled runner's girlfriend in a pool of blood, dead from bullet wounds. It doesn't look good, from the initial facts, but then, we don't yet know all the facts.
What is disturbing, however, is the media focus on the tragedy as a story of a hero's downfall, an extraordinary tale of a man who managed to become an Olympic sprinter despite having prosthetic legs from the knee down. Yes, many of us cheered for Pistorius, who indeed was an inspirational example of overcoming heavy odds to succeed.
[See Photos: South African Olympian Oscar Pistorius Charged With Murder]
But perhaps this story is about something much less Shakespearean and sadly, much more common: the easy availability of guns and the scourge of domestic violence. Pistorius's home of South Africa has become an increasingly violent place, with guns easily acquired. And women are often victims—some 2,500 women are murdered in the country every year. Further, Pistorius has a history of domestic violence complaints. Was the murder of Reeva Steenkamp an accident of some sort? Or was she just another—albeit, more famous and famously-connected—victim of a far more widespread problem?
Domestic abusers aren't all in poor or working-class neighborhoods. They're not all drunks or mentally unwell people who snap and take out their frustrations on the women they supposedly love. Domestic violence has to do with rage and a desire to control—even when the only way to assert control is to take a life.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
The story has gotten more attention because the alleged killer is a hero-athlete. But this tragedy isn't about Pistorius. It's about Steenkamp—and all the victims who came before her.

When my new larger mixer arrived I was excited to try it out. I own a 6000 so when I investigated purchasing a larger one I was excited to see that I could use 16 cups of flour in the 7000 mixer. However, I wish you had made the mixer a little higher. The bowl is bigger than the 6000, but with the mixer the same height as the 6000 I find the bread dough working its way up the mixing shaft. I notcied the bread hook on the 7000 was a little smaller than the 6000 so I switched bread hooks, using the older one on the new mixer, and had better results.
It took me a couple of tries to figure out how to detach then attach the mixing bowl. And I've only done one small bread batch, but I know I will like to for the larger bread batches, which is why I ordered it.
Mixer is very good great color great speeds and quality and value r great!
I bought this mixer for my mother for her birthday, because her small one had been dropped on the floor ( :O I KNOW!!!) Anyway I have always watched her make double-plus batches of things and has always had to clean the bowl and do separate mixes. This mixer was everything she has wanted and more! She make rolls, cookies, desserts, EVERYTHING and do it bulk! Very satisfied!
Beautiful. Will take a little adjusting from my 5 Qt bowl...amazing how much bread dough it can hold. Love the absolute solid feel of this mixer and the power. My other Kitchenaid is still running after 11 years, so will keep that for 'smaller' jobs and pull out this baby for running through 5 lb of bread dough.

Scripture(s): Romans 1:16
Description: In this sermon, Brother Nesch shares various testimonies of the power of the Gospel to transform lives. We cannot be ashamed for the Gospel that can powerfully change any sinner. We are all called to be witnesses for the Lord we cannot add to the Gospel with our words or eloquence. We must preach repentance towards God and faith towards Jesus Christ.

Strawberry Boy Bait
If only it were that easy. When I first saw this recipe, which is actually called blueberry boy bait, I had this Ally McMeal-like image of a woman in a wide brimmed hat and linen dress standing on a pier holding a fishing line while schools of mermen swam below (I don't understand why they had to be mermen, apparently even my imagination is uptight.) Anyway, once she catches one it becomes human...and is suddenly sporting the Indiana Jones look, which btw, did indeed include the whip (see, not so repressed after all, eh?)
This cake is super-moist, and busting at the seams with strawberries. In place of the original recipe's fall-ish cinnamon coating, I used lime zest-infused sugar, which gives it that extra summery flavour and a lightness. That's 'light', not 'lite' (I'd never taint butter and whole milk by having them involved with the likes of 'lite'). And I'm not sure about attracting any man-fish, but this cake will defiantly draw in anyone with a pulse.
Strawberry Boy Bait (adapted from smitten kitchen)
Cake ingredients
2 cups plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
16 tablespoons (that's 2 sticks) of unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup of fresh strawberries, cleaned and sliced
Topping ingredients
1/4 cup granulated sugar
zest of 2 limes
1/2 cup of fresh sliced strawberries
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 13 by 9-inch pan with foil. Grease and flour the entire pan, gently tapping out any excess flour.In a large bowl, whisk two cups flour, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Set aside.
With electric mixer, or in a stand mixer (using the paddle attachment), beat the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated and scraping down bowl.
Reduce speed to medium and beat in one-third of flour mixture until incorporated; beat in half of milk. Beat in half of remaining flour mixture, then remaining milk, and finally remaining flour mixture. Set aside.
In another bowl, toss the strawberries with remaining 2 teaspoons of flour. Using rubber spatula, gently fold in the berries. Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan. Set aside
Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, and using your fingertips, rub the sugar and lime zest together until it becomes moist and fragrant.
Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of strawberries evenly over the top of the cake batter, followed by the lime-sugar mixture. [Note: I found it easier to sprinkle the sugar over the cake by using my fingers.]
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean (try to avoid running it through a berry). Cool in pan 20 minutes, then turn out and place on serving platter (topping side up).
Serve warm or at room temperature. Great with ice cream!

Transforming NHS Ambulance Services: Department of Health
HC 1086, Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Session 2010-12
- Author:
- National Audit Office (NAO)
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'Transforming NHS Ambulance Services: Department of Health (HC 1086)' concludes that the current system of measurement in relation to the National Health Service (NHS) ambulance service has not delivered the best value for money to date.
The Department of Health has until recently been focusing on speed of response as a measure of performance of the ambulance service, rather than on clinical outcomes for patients. The ambulance service achieves high levels of public satisfaction but there are wide variations in ambulance trusts' efficiency.
The 8-minute response target, intended for the most seriously ill patients, is one of the most demanding in the world. However, its application has skewed ambulance trusts' approach to performance measurement and management.
The target is also applied to a much wider group of patients than intended. The report identifies various inefficiencies in the system, with cost per incident varying between £176 and £251.
There is scope across the urgent and emergency care system to make more of different ways of responding to patients, such as clinical advice to callers over the phone and taking patients to minor injuries units rather than Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments.
If all 11 trusts adopted the best practice currently being used in at least one trust, the NHS could save £165 million a year. The elements of the emergency care system are not yet fully integrated and this leads to delays in turnaround times at hospital A&Es.
Over one-fifth of patient handovers take longer than the recommended 15 minutes. The new clinical quality indicators introduced from April offer the potential for a fuller measurement of performance based on outcomes.

GLEE Renewed For Fifth and Sixth Seasons
by Allison Keene Posted 233 days ago
Glee fans have something new to sing about: Fox has announced it will be renewing its "genre-defying" (or logic-defying, if you prefer) series for two more seasons. For four years the show has been the only successful scripted musical series on the air, selling oodles of music and capitalizing on the current singing crazy (look no further for proof than the success of American Idol, The Voice and others). Though some of its original cast have now graduated (but are still regulars) from the show's high school setting, the series continues to comment, with varying degrees of savvy, on hot-button topics like bullying and gun violence in schools. Knowing Ryan Murphy, there will be plenty more of that to come.
Glee, created by Murphy, stars Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith, Jane Lynch and Naya Rivera, and airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Fox. Hit the jump to read the full press release.

Well, to begin with, we need a little more information. Is this a Precision Plasma kit? If so, which one? The gantry should travel smoothly, unless there is something flexing or binding. Is there a gear/belt reduction? Is it rack and pinion? What is the pitch of the screw on the z? What C&CNC kit did you get? the 300oz, or 620 oz motors? What is your velocity/acceleration tuning?
Lets work through this one thing at a time, and you'll be up and running in no time.

People who are obese may not have enough Vitamin D in their system.
British researchers combined data from more than 20 studies and found for every 10% increase in BMI, Vitamin D levels went down 4%.
They say the vitamin is stored in fatty tissue, and if there's an excessive amount of fat, it could prevent the vitamin from circulating in the bloodstream.
Vitamin D deficiencies can cause bones to soften and weaken.
Vitamin D is made after exposure to the sun. Experts say simple activities like walking the dog or going for a stroll in the park could boost levels of the vitamin and help people lose weight.

Take-up of test offer in district is poor
7:00am Wednesday 10th October 2012 in Local news By Claire Lomax
Men in Bradford and Airedale are being urged to make sure they attend a life-saving health check after it was revealed the district has one of the highest non-attendance rates for the national screening programme.
All men in their 65th year in the district are automatically invited to attend a screening appointment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The NHS-run programme was launched earlier this year and offers screening at GP practices, health centres and community hospitals across West Yorkshire.
However, Bradford has one of the highest non-attendance rates at the moment of 15 per cent.
Patients get their results on the day after the ten-minute scan. The majority will require no further action, however small aneurysms will need monitoring and if a large aneurysm is detected the patient will be referred to a specialist.
Men from the Anand Milan Centre in Bradford recently attended screening at Westwood Park Community Hospital, off Cooper Lane.
Qasim Khan, who organised the screening for the group, encouraged all communities in the area to take up this screening programme.
He said: "This is a wonderful programme but people don't seem to be aware of AAAs or the programme. It's a free test that takes ten minutes."
Men who are over 65 are able to book an appointment themselves by phoning the West Yorkshire AAA Screening Programme on (01422) 224204. Also call this number for more information about the screening programme.

You already love the slopes and can't get enough of the action, now you can take your passion to new career heights and we can help you get there.
Based in Nelson, BC, you'll be at the centre of epic mountain culture and have easy access to world-class ski resorts where you can sharpen your ski, snowboard and networking skills. Covering all aspects of ski resort operations, our program gives you a unique blend of management skills and industry knowledge to prepare you for lasting leadership roles. The curriculum contains specific industry course content not commonly available at post-secondary educational institutions.
The Ski Resort Operations and Management Program is reviewed annually by an advisory committee of senior ski industry representatives to ensure that content is current and that that graduates are equipped with the latest useful knowledge and skills.
The aim of this program is to accelerate the movement of graduates into supervisory and management level positions. The program relies heavily on the ski industry to provide direct exposure to virtually all aspects of indoor and outdoor operations. Close contact with industry operations is provided through field trip visits that introduce students to industry supervisory and management personnel.
Field trips provide students with first-hand exposure to new construction and installations, snowmaking plants, ski lift designs, as well as to consumer and industry trade shows. Direct meetings with ski industry managers and supervisors at resorts visited give students a chance to explore job opportunities for their work semester and after graduation.
During the first three semesters which span 14 months, students take 22 courses focused on tourism, business, and operational subjects that prepare them for a role in the ski and snowboard industry. Included in these first three semesters are 2 five-day and 1 three-day field trips to different ski regions in British Columbia and Alberta.
During the fourth semester, students undertake a 21-week paid work semester at a ski resort, which may lead to full-time employment. The work term is a co-operative education endeavour that involves both employer and college supervision of the students' work experience. Students choose their work placement and negotiate with employers to determine possibilities for job rotation and other learning opportunities. Students receive one on-site visit from an instructor during the work semester and must complete a major written report and verbal presentation to receive credit for this work term.

Internet in your hotel or accommodation room is not yet the same necessity as the water you drink, the linen you sleep in or the fresh towels that hang in your bathroom, however is it the way of the future; will complimentary internet become one of these included necessities in every hotel or accommodation room?
Many of us these days want to check emails on the go, check-in on apps, update our latest status and share with friends, family and colleagues from anywhere in the world.
One of the most common questions asked in a hotel, discussed in a review or blogged about is; why do hotels and other accommodation venues still charge for internet. I am sure this is a question that pops into many heads, especially when the world has advanced so rapidly in recent years on the mobile front. Everyone has an internet capable mobile device right? Although this remains an argument many raise, fact is that not all hotel guests have internet capable devices.
Some hotels now offer complimentary internet to loyalty club members, complimentary WiFi in certain areas ie: lobby or leisure areas, some offer property-wide and yet some continue to charge full price for the service. Charges can vary considerably from hotel to hotel, brand to brand, independent to independent, however those that do charge; offer plans from 15-minutes, 1 to 24-hour sessions or even long stay rates.
Reading through reviews and blogs, some are quick to jump to the conclusion that hotels are charging an unnecessary fee, some even claim that it is price gouging, however reality is, a hotel is providing a service that they are paying for as an offering to guests and therefore on charging the associated cost of providing that service.
The real cost of providing an internet solution for hotels comes in keeping up with ever-changing requirements of guests. Bandwidth and internet speed requirements have gone up tremendously over the past few years and that requirement keeps growing and growing. Hotels are expected to meet the latest technological requirements and with that constant drive of new technology, hotels have a need to continue investing into the latest technology.
Many hotels have their internet solution provided by an outside third party supplier that in some cases may have installed their complete system. Such arrangements can be on a profit share basis and therefore the hotel is not in a position to offer the service on a complimentary basis.
Although a high percentage of the world's population possesses an internet capable mobile device, internet is not yet a necessity for all travellers and inclusion in an accommodation rate would disadvantage those not requiring such services.
Some may take the accommodation rate inclusion question a little further and query why the in-room mini bar is not included in a room rate because people like to consume it, realistically only a small percentage of hotel guests consume from a mini bar. The same may be asked about pay per view movies, again only a small percentage of in-house guests watch these and inclusion would disadvantage the majority guest. Television and cable TV on the other hand are included in an accommodation rate as the majority watch this media.
Consider what their loyalty program offers - some status tiers on loyalty programs include complimentary internet.
Seek accommodation packages that include internet in the rate.
Seek accommodation that offers complimentary internet, however lets face it; you are still paying for it as it's included in their rate.
Consider negotiating a better internet and roaming rate with your mobile device provider, it may prove a cheaper option than seeking a hotel that offers complimentary* internet.
*Nothing is ever free it will always be included somewhere. So is it better to remain separate and you control your spend or add it into the rate and not be able to control?

Patrick Vieira says England is where he now calls 'home' as The FA's 150th anniversary celebrations begin.
The Frenchman's illustrious career saw him win both the World Cup and European Championship with Les Bleus, along with a string of honours during his time with Arsenal.
As one of the best midfielders of his generation, spells in Italy with AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus added up to form a glittering career for the Senegal-born star.
But he's happy to admit that he now calls England his home and was a special guest of The FA at last week's FA150 launch ceremony in London.
He told FATV: "This is where I spent my best time, I would say.
"I arrived here when I was 19 or 20, and went on to have nine years at Arsenal.
"And that is where I had the pick of my game, so I call England home."
A combative player, with flair and creativity, Vieira was a key member of the Arsenal team which won the Premier League and FA Cup double in both 1998 and 2002.
And it was his time with the Gunners which sealed Vieira's love affair with English football and a desire to return to finish his career here with Manchester City.
"I think this is where I really found myself, because I love the passion, the desire and the commitment of the players on the field," he added.
"That is why I found myself, because I'm that kind of player and I really enjoyed my time in the Premier League."
Watch the full interview with Vieira in the Media Gallery above, where he also speaks of his passion for his new job as Football Development Executive with Manchester City.
Vieira's English 'home'
- Tuesday,
Patrick Vieira says England is where he 'found himself' as FA150 year gets underway
