Where: Camden Yards
Pat's Prediction Record: 15-13
When: 7:05
The Starters: Jeremy Hellickson vs. Dana Eveland
The two best teams in the AL East are facing off for the first time in this series. These teams are both 20-12 and both tied for the division lead. The Rays have Jeremy Hellickson on the mound tonight, he has been great so far this year. He has a 3-0 record with a 2.75 ERA. He has only had one bad start all year, which was against the Athletics in his last start. He got pulled after just 3.2 innings pitched because his pitch count was already at 103. Other than that, he has been great the rest of his starts. As for the Orioles, they have Dana Eve land on the mound tonight. He has not pitched yet this year, but has experience on six different major league teams pitching. In his career he is 19-24, with a 5.52 ERA. I think that the Orioles will win game one 6-5.

My work uses Lotus Notes R6 for e-mail, calendaring, etc.
I still primarily use a paper planner and am looking at migrating to more digital tools due to compactness and flexibility as it all would sync to my blackberry.
I have read the Lotus Notes and GTD document that's available and have modified the "To Do" function setting up appropriate GTD categories.
If wanting to print my "projects list", the only option I'm getting is where it prints a page for each project. How would I be able to print it out so that it's literally the page with the "list" of projects?
Any insight or direction much appreciated.

Mercado killed 5Th Ave for sure. 3 Rd Ave is doing OK, but nothing in the area is doing as good as Mercado. It's priced right, food is OK, parking is fine, and it beats driving downtown to 5Th. On the Snowbird Channel, they mostly have decided not to come to the Naples area in the future. To much Snowbird Bashing, yet they help the economy by spending an incredible amount of money. Soon that will go away, places will close, no money, no jobs. Yes, Deliverance with Palm Trees will slowly become the Miami on the Gulf. Thank you Billy Bob, your wish has come true.

food is by far better on Fifth

The Eastern Conference has turned into a two-man race after the first month of the season. With Indiana getting off to such a hot start, and Miami — at least before their recent 2-game losing streak — honing in on a three-peat, the East's two best teams are indisputable.

In his quest for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate, Barack Obama was, by many measures, supposed to lose. One opponent was a multimillionaire pouring his own cash into the race. Another was a loyal statewide official who was expected to bring the party's ward troops out in force on election day.
But Mr. Obama, a state senator from Chicago, awoke Wednesday to a deluge of national attention, a result of his overwhelming victory the night before by margins unforeseen by any polls or guesses. John Kerry called. So did Senator Tom Daschle and Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic national chairman. And the phone kept ringing.
Overnight, Mr. Obama, a former civil rights lawyer, has become a treasured commodity in the Democratic Party nationally, in part because Democrats see the Illinois seat as one they may easily snatch back from Republicans in November, and in part because Mr. Obama would be the only black member of the Senate.
''I think it's fair to say that the conventional wisdom was we could not win,'' Mr. Obama told a ballroom packed with his supporters late Tuesday night. ''We didn't have enough money. We didn't have enough organization. There was no way that a skinny guy from the South Side with a funny name like Barack Obama could ever win a statewide race.

Animal books seem to have an almost universal appeal. Youngsters love listening to read-alouds featuring animals since they can point to the ones they recognize while also learning about those that they have never seen. Once they become readers, animal books are often among the titles they select because of the illustrations and the familiarity. Then, too, savvy teachers have learned to use animal stories to address gently issues such as bullying, cooperation, and social justice. They know that they can rarely go wrong when they choose books featuring animals to share with their students or recommend them for independent reading. Even students entering middle grades search for books featuring animals since they may provide avenues to escape the turmoil of approaching adolescence, appeal to their tender sides, and provide possible career choices. Here are some recently published animal stories with youth appeal.
This weekly series of book reviews is contributed by the Children's Literature and Reading Special Interest Group (CL/R SIG) of the International Reading Association (IRA). All reviews have been written by CL/R SIG members. Visit their website to join CL/R SIG or to read more about them.
Grades K-3
Bliss, Harry. (2011). Bailey. New York: Scholastic.
Precocious Bailey is a dog that wants to add to what he knows by attending school. Like many other elementary school students, he has some problems catching the bus, whether it's heading toward school or on its way home. He loves reading and math, but his favorite subject is lunch when he can trade dog bones for sandwiches. Although things don't always go right for Bailey, he knows that school is the place he belongs, and he makes plenty of friends there. This title would be a great read-aloud for the transition to a new classroom since it effectively reassures those who feel anxious about anything new. The pastel illustrations highlight Bailey's personality in the wiggle of his tail or the frown of concentration on his face. One of the book's best scenes shows Bailey giving a report on Fala, the canine companion of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt with a tiny photo of the President and a huge one of Fala. Clearly, Bailey has resolved his priorities about who or what matters. - Barbara A. Ward, Washington State University
McDermott, Gerald. (2011). Monkey: A trickster tale from India. Boston: Harcourt.
Hungry Crocodile lolls in the river and longs for a nice Monkey snack in this final installment of McDermott's trickster tales series. Monkey is also hungry and craves the delicious mangoes growing on an island in the middle of the river. Since he can't reach those mangoes by himself, Monkey must outsmart the hungry, wily Crocodile in order to fill his belly with the delicious fruit. Young readers will be amused at how Monkey outsmarts Crocodile and avoids his sharp teeth. McDermott's bold collage made of cut and torn handmade paper from India perfectly complements this traditional Buddhist story from the Jataka Tales. Teachers will enjoy reading this title aloud, and are as likely to be tickled by the mischievous monkey's antics as students will be. - Terrell A. Young, Brigham Young University
Godwin, Laura. (2011). One moon, two cats. Illus. by Yoko Tanaka. New York: Atheneum.
As night falls, two cats in separate places wait until their human companions are asleep before heading out for fun. As both felines slip from their homes, they saunter confidently through the dark until noises and movements claim their attention. As the cats race after their favorite prey, mice, they leap acrobatically all over the pages. Just when the demise of a mouse seems imminent, a storm sends the cats and mice in separate directions as they scurry for cover. The cats slip surreptitiously back into their respective dwellings, leaving their human bedmates unaware of their outdoor travels. The descriptions of the cats' appearance, actions, and personalities are extended through the use of different font sizes throughout the story. The acrylic illustrations show the playful yet sly and sneaky nature of these cats with very active night lives. - Barbara A. Ward, Washington State University

Funckarma is the long standing project of Don and Roel Funcken, Dutch brothers notorious for their bass heavy groove filled IDM and experimental approach to all forms of electronic music. Since 1995 their prolific output under various names has found them homes on labels around the world, from Warp to n5md, Skam to !K7 and many more . Always forging new sounds in their constant sonic evolution, they're breaking into the dubstep and DnB scenes as well, bringing their own unique form to these ever shifting landscapes while staying true to what built their fanbase .
Funckarma live is a spontaneous fusion of material from their amazingly broad catalogue of production sources. They feed the audience their infamous intense ground shaking moments as well as something minimalist and stripped, all in one smooth transition. This gives a totally unique perspective on the work, and guarantees a fresh set every time by providing a tremendous amount of freedom to its creation.
With their dj sets they integrate music from other artists with their own. Genres mainly flow through dubstep, techno, acid and dnb but are not limited to these forms. he DJ sets are renowned for their approach using digital mixing and controllers enabling them to alter tracks into a new blend.
No matter which set they play, it's all about bringing innovation and new dimensions of sound to the system by blending their own production with the finest in the new wave of artists warping dance floors and minds around.

"I hated scenic walks."
With these words, Beth Cruikshank began her short story, "If I Could Escape," using just four short words to set the tone for a tale that blends angst with a certain scary circumstance.
Cruikshank won first prize in the short story division for writers 16--18 years old in the annual Young People's Creative Writing Contest, an event sponsored by the Tulsa City-County Library.
Winners were honored at an Aug. 25 awards ceremony at Hardesty Regional Library. This year, 505 authors submitted more than 700 entries in a variety of categories.
Their efforts at times resembled the work of much more experienced writers.
Take the talented Benjamin Reyes, who won first prize for "The Bubbling Brook," a poem which began:
A happy Brook courses, its end far away
Running quite swiftly, to splash and to play
While it is moving, it sings a glad song
And bubbles and bubbles and bubbles along.
Reyes' work no doubt would make the heart sing of many a high school English teacher, but they'll have to wait a bit before he walks into their classroom. He took first place in the poetry division for writers 10-12 years old.
First-place winners in each of the categories took home $100, while those earning second place received $50 and third-place finishers $25.
Along with the cash, winners and all entrants were invited to hear some inspiration from Jacqueline Woodson, an award-winning author perhaps best known for Miracle's Boys, a book about three brothers growing up on their own in New York. Woodson visited Tulsa after being named the 2012 winner of the Anne V. Zarrow Award for Young Readers' Literature.
Not surprisingly, Woodson wrote as a youth herself. On her website, she described her earliest experiences with writing: "I also told a lot of stories as a child. Not 'Once upon a time' stories but basically, outright lies. I loved lying and getting away with it! There was something about telling the lie-story and seeing your friends' eyes grow wide with wonder. Of course I got in trouble for lying but I didn't stop until fifth grade.
That year, I wrote a story and my teacher said 'This is really good.' Before that I had written a poem about Martin Luther King that was, I guess, so good no one believed I wrote it. After lots of brouhaha, it was believed finally that I had indeed penned the poem which went on to win me a Scrabble game and local acclaim.
Each of the individual writers who dared enter the contest surely took their own path to achievement, and it's not hard to imagine they will have a story to tell in a few years about how they got started -- perhaps inspiring another generation of youth writers.
For now, their accomplishments have only begun to draw recognition, though a bit more may be coming their way soon.
KWGS Public Radio 89.5 FM plans to invite some winners to record their writing for possible broadcast.
Along with prizes for short stories and poetry, the contest also included categories for informal essays and short plays. Young playwrights will have some of their works presented by the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. Despite their brevity, the short plays often included deep attention to detail and dialogue, the hallmark of any good writing.
Take this mini-scene from "Buzzed" by Rachel Stromberg, set in the break room of "a generic retail store," featuring a conversation between two employees:
John: Hm? Oh, sorry, man, I just ... I saw the weirdest thing a few minutes ago.
Danny: What happened?
John: Well, I was at the register, and there was this bug, and ... it died.
(Danny waits for further explanation, but none is forthcoming.)
Stromberg won first prize in the division for 16-18 year old writers, mixing humor and insight into a few brief but memorable scenes.
The informal essay category seemed an invitation for writers to express themselves about any topic they deemed worth describing, and Sophie Katz chose to describe how being awakened on a camping trip by the howling of wolves evoked not panic but a sense of kinship with the natural world around her:
"Up before anyone else, I can imagine painting my life onto these mountains, this sky. In these early hours, I can imagine that I am alone here, just the wolves and me ... Soon, the sun will break the cloud cover. The blanket will clench into fists of fluff. All the dew will burn, sizzling off the grass, and no one will notice. People will move around, shaking sleep out of their hair. The moon will wrestle the sun from the sky and the sun will emerge again in its time. The wolves will eat. Scavengers will take what is left, and fungi will take what remains after that, metamorphosing old life into new. The flowers and trees will die, and new ones will grow, eager to seize their chance at survival. Snow will fall. And every morning, the howling will bring the world to life."
The contest surely sparked the imagination of the young writers, who have many more mornings to come and, hopefully, a few more pages to write. A complete list of the winners and links to their work can be found at teens.tulsalibrary.org.

A A+F Academics: Very challenging, but a worthwhile challenge. Great professors, and truly interesting material.
A+ A+F Academics: Academics here are simply amazing. Professors really prioritize teaching in most cases, and are accessible and willing to talk to you. Whatever qualms I may have with the school, I can say nothing negative about the academics. Figuring out the academic discipline you love at this place is an absolutely euphoric experience that is something special and worth cherishing.
A+ A+F Academics: The professors are great! They can only teach 2 courses at a time and are really interested in you and your learning style. Classes are rigorous, but very worthwhile - there is very little "busy work." There are many major options. Study spaces are comfortable and abundant.
A A+F Academics: The best thing about academic life here at Bowdoin is that there are many professors who care about you. If you are struggling though a class any professor is happy to help. Though the work load is tough it is very hard to fail a class unless.
A+ A+F Academics: Bowdoin is host to faculty members who are brilliant scholars as well as pedagogical enthusiasts. Professors, more often than not, are devoted to their students' learning. This school is a great place to learn and, in turn, exercise your intellectual curiosity in whatever way you see fit.

Written by Danica Loucks
Bowdoin offers its students many liberties with its flexible core requirements. First-year students are required to take a first-year seminar, which essentially allows them to experience an extremely discussion-based course and introduces them to college writing. Additionally, Bowdoin students must fulfill division requirements throughout their four years by taking a class in each of the following categories: Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities and Fine Arts, and Non-Eurocentric Studies. They must also take one class that fulfills each of the distribution requirements in Mathematical, Computational, or Statistical Reasoning; Inquiry in the Natural Sciences; Exploring Social Differences; International Perspectives; and Visual and Performing Arts. This sounds like a lot, but a liberal arts education focuses on just how much everything is related. Students can fulfill these requirements by taking a combination of exploratory courses, major courses, and "just for fun" classes. Bowdoin also urges students to take classes outside of their comfort zones by allowing everyone to take up to four classes as pass/fail over their four years—this allows students to branch out without worrying about it affecting their grades and is indicative of the fact that the College and professors want students to get as much out of their Bowdoin education as possible.
Receiving help and support from the professors 24/7 at Bowdoin is the norm. They are a boundless source of intriguing concepts, constructive criticism, advice, and good stories. Some professors grade very hard, others quite easily, but with either professor, your mind will be challenged and you will be provided valuable knowledge. Professors maintain office hours, but most will make time to meet with you outside of those hours if you have a scheduling conflict. Bowdoin professors are always trying to gain better access to their students, and some invite their pupils to dinner or ice cream at their homes. A few professors have even been known to sign their students on as co-authors in their professional journal writings. The faculty at Bowdoin is made up of long-time professors, as well as new and visiting professors. Bowdoin professors are often invited to speak at bigger universities about their research. Many alumni say that the Bowdoin faculty inspired them to feel empowered to do anything to which they put their minds.

Comments about Performance Designed Products Disney Infinity Play Zone - TRU Exclusive:
My son got this case for his 8th birthday and it's great.It holds all the figures from the 1st set and when wave 2 comes out I think they will all fit too. Some figures can be stacked on top of other (like the cars) and it still folds fine. It hold 28 power discs. I love how you can pull on the cover and play with the base in the case still and get to the figures. It very easy to clean. This case is great for a younger child. The only down side i have found if on the front the magnet does not work well but it has not been to much of a problem because how it has to wrap around the bag.

HEADING UPSTATE: Michael Kors has signed a lease for a new store at Crossgates Mall in Albany, N.Y., to open next spring, according to sources. Kors is the second big company to head to Crossgates after Lord & Taylor said last week it would open a 100,000-square-foot store next fall. Expected for the Christmas shopping season will be a pop-up Crate & Barrel one of only four that will run nationwide, said mall general manager Joseph Castaldo. His hope is that if all goes well Crate & Barrel will remain at Crossgates.

text: The Gallery People and Parties The Serpentine Summer Party 29 June 2011 Dolly Jones THE beautiful, the artistic and the mega rich came together, despite occasional deluges, for the Serpentine Summer Party - "definitely the most fun party of the summer", according to chairman Tim Jefferies - last night which, co-hosted by Burberry and featuring live sets from Christopher Bailey's Burberry Acoustic selection, called to mind the style of this event as it was in the old days - well, five years ago, when it was sponsored by YSL. SEE ALL THE PARTY PHOTOS HEREBurberry lovelies Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne were there being party time ambassadors. "Oops," giggled Cara as she dropped part of a delicious mini chicken burger to the ground, narrowly missing her gorgeous white Burberry number. "Five second rule, anyone?""I love working for Burberry," Jourdan told us - well into her second season as a face of the house and these days commuting between her family's home in London and a pad in New York. "It's like a family, Christopher is amazing - he's so easy to talk to."And how has being an international "super" changed her life?"I'm pretty normal, I still live at home and my mum and brothers wouldn't let me think I'm better than I am. I was at home yesterday and my mum was making me work in the garden with the others - she wouldn't take much notice if I was to say, 'um, excuse me, do you not realise that yesterday I was shooting for Vogue?' My family keep me grounded, which I'm pleased about - fashion can be a pretty intimidating place."There was plenty of Burberry on show, with gorgeous starlets oblivious of their ruined hemlines dragging through the mud as they made their way through twinkling, sequinned trees to be interviewed by a stunningly Stella-clad Martha Ward making her debut for VogueTV.WATCH ALL THE FUN ON VOGUETVOther designers brought their own muses though - Erdem arrived with his sister in one of his hottest designs ever - the red lace ss11 that everybody wants ("I can't give you any clues about my collection in September," he said. "It's all in my head.") - and Peter Dundas had Poppy Delevingne in tow wearing a green one from his latest collection ."I went to his show in Milan and just had to have it," she shrugged.There were no end of arrivals to Tweet too: Jade Parfitt and Erin O'Connor, Arun Nayar, Ewan McGregor, Bill Wyman, Margherita Missoni, Tali Lennox - perhaps celebrating the fact that her mother Annie had collected her OBE for humanitarian causes from the Queen yesterday - Nicky Haslam, Tracey Emin, Misty Miller (who played the first set), Alexa Chung (who also took to the decks), Grayson Perry, Yasmin and Simon Le Bon - and David Bailey, who wrapped himself around wife Catherine to protect her from the rain and held court on the outfits of which he approved and - thoroughly - disapproved."I love your dress but your jacket is fucking dreadful," he told an unprepared Vogue.comer. "I don't care if it's raining. Take it off." SEE ALL THE SERPENTINE ACTION HERE Related Gallery The Serpentine Summer Party

An ancient secret threatens to unleash the powers of darkness on a group of modern prep school students when the sole survivor of a cursed bloodline returns to lay claim to the powers denied to him centuries ago in a supernatural teen thriller from director Renny Harlin and screenwriter J.S. Cardone. The story begins in 1692, when five families from the Ipswich Colony of Massachusetts formed a covenant of silence that would forever protect their remarkable powers. One family went too far, though, and as a result of their transgression they were forever banished from the land. Flash forward to the new millennium and the four Sons of Ipswich are now the student elite at the prestigious Spenser Academy. Bound by their sacred ancestry and sworn to silence, these four teens share a secret so remarkable that it has served to protect their families for hundreds of years. The past has a way of coming back when you least expect it though, and when the fifth Son of Ipswich returns seeking to harness the powers denied him in the past, the battle is on to ensure the safety of The Covenant and lay the one descendent who threatens to reveal their secret to rest once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Tonya Neely (Viola Davis) is a neighborhood activist on the south side of Chicago, trying to get her community to rally to tear down Eden Court, the dangerous housing project where she lives. After a family tragedy, she sent her youngest daughter, Cammie (Serena Reeder), off to live with friends in a middle-class neighborhood, where she could go to a better school. Leo Waters (Anthony LaPaglia), the architect who designed Eden Court many years ago, lives a seemingly idyllic life with his wife, Julia (Isabella Rossellini), his teenage daughter, Christina (Hayden Panettiere), and his son, Martin (Sebastian Stan), who has just returned home after dropping out of college. Leo's family is on the verge of a crisis. Julia's unhappiness with their marriage leads her to clean the house obsessively. Christina is only 15, but she is eager to explore her budding sexuality. Martin is understandably cynical about his home life, and confused about his own desires. When Tonya contacts Leo, hoping to convince him to sign the petition to tear down Eden Court, it sets a chain of events in motion that will force both families to confront the issues that they've tried so hard to avoid. The Architect, which also features performances by Paul James, Walton Goggins, Tijuana Ricks, Lauren Hodges, and Malcolm Goodwin, was directed by Matt Tauber, adapted from a play by Scottish playwright David Greig. The film had its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

A young man is faced with a dilemma when a threatening figure from his past returns in this drama, the directorial debut from Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. Charlie Banks (Jesse Eisenberg) and his best friend, Danny (Chris Marquette), grew up in a rough section of New York, where they both knew Mick (Jason Ritter), a kid whose was much admired for his cool and equally feared for his talent for violence. When Mick got into a fight that left two teens nearly dead, Charlie was a witness, and when he was approached by the police, Charlie told them what he saw, though he later refused to testify against Mick in court for fear of his own safety. Several years later, Charlie and Danny have left the old neighborhood behind and are students at a prestigious private university when Mick pays them an unexpected visit. Charlie has no idea if Mick knows that he informed on him to the police, and is afraid to find out, but in the meantime, Mick aggressively reintroduces himself into Charlie and Danny's lives. As Mick starts dressing like a wealthy college boy, reading F. Scott Fitzgerald, and dating a girl Charlie has a crush on, he seems to be transforming himself into someone who can be all Charlie is and more, but in time Mick learns he can't completely turn his back on his past. The Education of Charlie Banks had its world premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Lingering tensions clash with new hopes in director Jonathan Demme's ensemble drama set during an idyllic wedding that threatens to descend into chaos with the appearance of the bride's estranged sister -- a volatile and unpredictable girl whose turbulent history of personal crisis and family conflict quickly threatens to take precedence over the happy ceremony. Rachel Buchman (Rosemarie DeWitt) is about to be married to the love of her life, but while the weather outside may be perfect, there's a storm blowing in. That storm goes by the name Kym (Anne Hathaway). Kym is the family black sheep, and wherever she goes disaster is sure to follow. Now, as friends and family gather together for a memorable day of dining, dancing, and celebration, everyone braces themselves knowing that, at any given moment, old skeletons may be dragged out and dusted off for display by the bombshell who seems to have an acerbic one-liner for every situation, and a flare for drama that could set their family home ablaze. Bill Irwin and Debra Winger co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Disappointed at the way their lives have turned out, four longtime friends reunite at the ski resort where they used to party and find themselves transported back to the year 1986 by a magical jacuzzi. Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Corddry), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Jacob (Clark Duke) have all seen better days; Adam's and Nick's love lives are in the dumps, Lou is clinging to his hard-partying past, and video-game addict Jacob can't even muster the courage to walk outside. A fun stay at the ski resort where the gang made some of their best memories seems like just the thing to cheer everyone up, but after a night of heavy drinking in the hot tub, the four friends wake up to find they're about to live through the '80s a second time. Determined not to make the same mistakes twice, Adam, Lou, Nick, and Jacob decide to take full advantage of the unique opportunity presented to them, and create the lives they've always wanted.

New York City ballet dancer Nina (Natalie Portman) enters into an intense battle of wills with a talented and ambitious new arrival (Mila Kunis) who seems intent on edging her out of the spotlight in this supernatural-flavored psychological thriller from director Darren Aronofsky. Nina covets the role of the Swan Queen in a production of Swan Lake by acclaimed theater director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel). The harder Nina works to win the part, however, the more overwhelmed she becomes by her suspicions that talented newcomer Lily (Kunis) is intent on stealing it away from her. As the production draws near and Nina struggles to master the duel roles of the White Swan and the Black Swan, she grows increasingly unstable to the point where she finds it difficult to distinguish fantasy from reality. Though her burgeoning friendship with the unconventional Lily helps Nina to jettison her perfectionist instincts and find her footing as the Black Swan, the closer she gets to perfecting the role, the further her sanity erodes until she begins to experience a bizarre and profound transformation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Error 404 God Not Found!
Anybody want to pool money to hire a skywriter to put that in a cloud over some large city? That would be better than the "Bus Campaign."
Instead to continuing to tell the Christians they need a bit more education and practice in critical thinking and logic, How about if we just shine a powerful light on the night clouds much like in Batman, but now, it is a horned devil in red.
No, maybe not. If we did someone would have to clean the shit off the streets and it would overwhelm the city's maintenance workers and dehydrate the Christians.
How about a Batman-like cross in the clouds. Then when Jesus doesn't return night after night, maybe they'll get it.

On the heels of learning that the 2011 Jeep Compass would reportedly jettison its "DaimlerBlocky" styling for something more Grand Cherokee-like, rendering artist JackRatchett produced both front and rear shots of the new version.2011 Jeep CompassBased on this rendering I like it. What do you think? ------------------2012 RAM 1500 Express 4x4 Reg Cab2011 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited2007 VW Passat
Looks horrible for a rendering. Let me see spy shots first before passing judgement.
lol ... horrible rendering; did a 5 year old do that during recess???If it were to take on the new Jeep family face; I think that it would look better; but looks are deceiving.
awful rendering looks like something Acartoons did dont try do or dont
That rendering is completely pointless. Aside from being terribly done it shows nothing. Oh wow, a compass with a different grill.
The rendering does look bad, but I get what he;s trying to draw.

MSR Software Radio Academic Kit announcement
For more information, please find in ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Web site.
The number of attendees are limited. Please register ASAP! -
We are pleased to announce the new release of Sora SDK ver 1.6 - the best Sora software we have released so far!
You can download it from MSR Web site: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ca9a93a1-2a38-4e3d-b87c-b7e8ddc46eae
Sora SDK ver 1.6 newly introduces following prominent features:
- New UMX API. Sora SDK ver 1.6 introduces a new set of UMX
API that is more flexible, secure and has better performance. - UMX Reflection. Sora SDK ver 1.6 now supports a new reflection mechanism that allows the
programmer easily integrates the user-mode software radio modem into the
Windows network stack. - Brick library. One most prominent feature in Sora SDK ver 1.6 is the Brick library. Brick is a
modular programming library for high-performance digital signal processing. It is easy to program,
flexible and highly extensible. - UMXSDRab utility. UMXSDRab is a powerful SDR 802.11 modem
based on UMX reflection. It supports both client mode and adhoc mode. So it can
easily connect to a commercial 802.11 AP or device. UMXSDRab has an easy-to-use
interactive interface to configure and monitor the status of SDR modem
application. - DbgPlot tool. DbgPlot is a versatile tool that allows a
program to dynamically generate various graphics in real-time. It is a very
useful tool for real-time monitoring or debugging DSP programs.
For updated Sora manual, please find at http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=160799
The Brick Specification can be found at http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/?id=160800
The DbgPlot manual can be found at http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=160801
Thank you and enjoy,
Sora core team
MSR Aisa
- New UMX API. Sora SDK ver 1.6 introduces a new set of UMX
It takes quite some time for the team to edit a full document for the Sora platform.
And now, here it comes. The latest Sora Manual contains the latest information of the Sora platform, including the basic usage, tools, programming samples and references of APIs.
We hope it will give you a handy reference to understand Sora better and help you get hands on it.
We'd say the manual may still contain many mistakes and miss some information. So if you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.
You can download the manual here at http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/?id=144847
The Sora Core Team
Dut tool or dot11config can capture a snapshot of the wireless channel and store the raw I/Q samples into a file located at c:\. The post explains the format of the dump file.

COMPLEX8 SmallSamples[SORA_RX_SIGNAL_UNIT_COMPLEX8_NUM];
#pragma warning(default: 4200 4214 4201)
}RX_DESC, *PRX_DESC;The signal block is of 128 Bytes, with a header (RX_DESC) and 28 complex samples (COMPLEX16).
For detailed information of signal blocks, please refore _rx_manager.h.

The Compass Star Cafe & Wine Bar
Online Reservations
This tiny little restaurant packs it in with amazing food and fantastic service! We had both the Prix Fixe menu as well as several small plates for our table, and the quality is amazing. The Executive Chef even came to our table to greet us, thank us for dining there, and ask if there was anything he could do to insure we had a great time. Awesome! Our server was bubbly, personable, and very attentive.. The wine, superb... all while dining outside on the patio. How cool! We are so coming back! SOON!
Nice local food & wine, nice prices. Polenta is the best! Memorable pork chop. Charcuterie: Wow, tho some of it, like the andouille, is "out there" so be prepared. Don't expect a big-deal high end restaurant. Pace is slow, service unpretentious, low-key. We had to slow our mindsets to the pace, but adjustment paid off in enjoyment. We even ended up lingering, had an extra glass of good Zin from Lodi, spent pretty much the whole evening there. It is a very small place. We could not get one of the few outdoor tables, which would be ideal on a warm night (if no smokers out there), but one of the few inside tables worked fine, too. It is easy to see the owners/operators love their work -- kinda makes one envious! Cheers to the Compass Star!
Dinner was fantastic, service was very good, the wine pairings with the food were very good. We had the Prix Fixe dinner, and everything was excellent. We'll be back!
It is nice to see a restaurant in Martinez that serves dishes made from local ingredients. The menu didn't have tons of choices, but it was fun to try new things. The ham & cheese beingets covered with powdered sugar were very unusual but also very tasty. We had small plates including the beingets, a caesar salad (nice but not spectacular) and ravioli made with the eggs & cheese. I wasn't a big fan of the ravioli but my boyfriend liked them. I liked that there was outside seating. I also have to commend the staff as they were super attentive displaying excellent customer service and the food and beverages were delivered promptly. 3 different staff came to our table to make sure everything was good. I really like this place. Try it.
Compass Star is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant, that makes you feel like you are somewhere else. The menu is always changing and the small plates are perfect to split.
The Compass Star Cafe & Wine Bar was an unexpected gem in local downtown Martinez. Definitely worth visiting; excellent cuisine and wine pairings
Tasty menu with lots of homemade goodies. The prix fix menu was a great choice.
I eat at the Compass Star, on average, once a week, though my record is 4 times in one week. They really know how to put together a top-notch meal here. The ingriedients are always fresh and everything is made in house. Each week, there are at least two different lunch specials, usually a sandwich and a salad, and a Prix Fixe evening special, in addition to the regular menu items. The prices are very fair for the quality of food. The service is great, and the staff goes out of their way to make me feel at home. This place is a foodie's delight.
When my husband ordered corn dogs - I was pretty surprised. Corn Dogs on date night? They were made from scratch, fresh, light, and melt in your mouth delicious! Everything was fantastic. I love sausage, (Sliders) this chef specializes in making her own. I was in culinary heaven!
We just moved to the area and have been looking for a go to restaurant. Not only did we found one but this May be the best place we've ever eaten at. They change half the menus each week so you can always except something different and great.
This is an intimate venue with an unusual menu. We were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary and were happy we discovered Compass Star. The food was creative, well presented and delicious. The server and chef were welcoming and informative. We'll be back again. Soon!

The Happy Beer Garden, opposite Patpong, food is good and cheap, the girls who work there will take good care of you, gets really busy though, but its great for people watching.
The music bar in the middle of Patpong, is good (not a girlie bar), great live music and again a great place for people watching.
Vertigo Bar, Top of Banyan Tree Hotel, a dress code is implimented, views are fantastic, but is very expensive.
Silom Village, Silom Road, food great, Bangkok Prices, staff are very good, Live shows, good for people watching.
O'neals or O'Rileys (not quite sure), Irish Bar, Suraswong Road, great atmosphere and good place to watch Premier league football.
Street Market, Soi 9 (i think) Silom Road food is great
thanks for the info

Re: Your Local Pub's and Hangouts in Bangkok
Let me start with lil' intro, i have been to Thailand few times and i must say Thai peole are really courteous and wel-coming espcially their smiles( keep up that smile). i enjoy thai food and luckily i still do get to eat typical thai food here in west coast with ummmm... ofcourse singa beer.
OK lets stick with the subject, i would definately recommend those lil' makeshift bar around sukhmit area ( evening time)first of all its an open air and you get pretty much basic bar selection and best part is you can order some snacks along or hop into another makeshift and try something else which makes the night go just at a snap. i do like some bar around sukhmit i think its much better than khaosan area. so go figure out.
i am out of time i will write more next time.
this is my first blog on this site.
Godspeed to all reader.

Re: Your Local Pub's and Hangouts in Bangkok
I've tried the Witch's Tavern on Thong Lor (Sukhumvit 55), not bad, nice cold pint of Heineken draught 160Bt, 5pm-8pm happy hour 1-for-1 on bottled beer, sports on TV, live Thai band later in the evening
I also met the people redoing Champagne Charlie's next to Asok BTS -- they're taking off the Champagne part and remaking it as a sports pub, a bottle of Heineken in there was 110Bt, the only drawback being the Mad Whistle Man directing traffic outside... but the manager assured me MWM would be silenced, one way or another......

Whistle blowing is frowned upon here!
Those that blow whistles only do so because they are paid to do so!
The biggest draw-back is an elephnt's 4-skin, unless you know different. and you sat there for "how long"?
"How Long" is a respected China-man, how much "string" do you have and did you ever meet him?

Insurance giant AIG, which is the parent company of International Lease Finance Corp, has filed a lawsuit against one of ILFC's founders, Steven Udvar-Hazy. In the suit, AIG and ILFC claim that Mr. Udvar-Hazy stole trade secrets and other information when he left to form now-rival Air Lease Corporation.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Udvar-Hazy and Air Lease effectively stole business away from ILFC. The suit charges that some employees of ILFC downloaded files and diverted customers to Air Lease before they jumped to the rival company. Both are in the lucrative business of leasing airliners to commercial airlines worldwide.
In a statement, Air Lease said "Since Air Lease Corporation's founding in 2010, it has experienced terrific success in the marketplace and among investors. In contrast, following AIG's financial collapse, its subsidiary International Lease Finance Corporation has struggled with an aging fleet, heavy debt load, and loss of talent, and has failed to complete a planned IPO. Unable to compete effectively and perceiving Air Lease as a growing threat, AIG/ILFC has now resorted to a baseless trade secrets lawsuit that Air Lease will vigorously contest and defeat. And while AIG/ILFC wastes its time in court, Air Lease – under the leadership of Steve Udvar-Hazy, one of the most influential figures in the aircraft leasing industry – will continue to focus on providing the best products and services for airlines worldwide."
AIG, which is still owned largely by the federal government following a bailout, is seeking several hundred million dollars in the suit.
