Hello, my name is Kate Kelly; I am a Program Manager in the Office Global Experience Platform (GXP). In Office 2010, GXP focused on features designed for customers working in multiple languages, such as updating Language Preferences and adding translation tools to Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and OneNote.
In Office 2010, one of our new features is an on-the-fly translation feature called Mini Translator . The Mini Translator allows you to translate single words or many paragraphs simply by hovering over the text that you want to translate. Mini Translator also includes the ability to Speak that text using Microsoft's Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine.
We have also enabled Speak for the Quick Access Toolbar and the Customize Ribbon Options. Customers who rely on TTS can add the Speak button to either of these and have quick access to Speak at any time (via the mouse or a keyboard shortcut).
One of the key pieces of feedback we received from customers was that you wanted more languages for Speak. We teamed up with the Microsoft Speech Technologies team to make this possible. With the RTM version of Office 2010, expected sometime in June, you will be able to download and use the Speech Platform and additional TTS engines from the Microsoft Download Center.
Speak will recognize the language of the text you select and checks if you have that Text-to-Speech language, either from a built-in Windows TTS engine, 3rd party engine, or a TTS engine from the Download Center.
For example, I have the English TTS engine installed, but not the Chinese TTS engine. When I hover over the Chinese text, the Speak button is not available; however when I hover over the English text the Speak button is enabled.
In addition to the improved user experience for international users, we believe that the Speak feature is a great investment that reinforces Office's commitment to accessibility as well. You can learn more about other accessibility investments we made in Office 2010 in Larry's great post.
And you can learn more about how to use Speak in the "Using the Speak feature with Multilingual TTS" article on Office.com.
Note about duplicate TTS languages: if you have a 3rd party TTS engine already installed on your computer, Speak will use that TTS engine rather than the Microsoft TTS engines you can install from the Download Center. For example, if I have a German TTS engine from a 3rd party product and I also install the German Microsoft TTS engine from the Download Center, the 3rd party TTS engine will always be used. If I uninstall the 3rd party TTS engine, Speak will start using the TTS engine from the Download Center. This way, by downloading new TTS engines from the Download Center you will always be able to ensure maximum readability, while not sacrificing interoperability with built-in or 3rd party engines.
We hope you're as excited about this new feature as we are – use the comments to let us know what you think and how you might use this feature for your work.
Kate Kelly, Program Manager, Microsoft Office
I just "found" this feature all on my own over the weekend. I was looking for it in the Excel 2010 beta, so I decided just for the heck of it to see if it was in Word also. And it was.
I look forward to using it for "proof reading". Let word read text back to me so I can verify all of the content (I have habit of skipping over stuff and "filling-in-the-blanks" when reading silently.
The funny part was that while it is a new feature in Word, it worked just fine, but in Excel where there has been a text to speech feature for several versions, using the feature crashed the app.
One thing I noticed was that looking through the rest of the office apps the feature name was inconsistent. Come on, the whole idea of bundling apps into a suite was to provide a common user interface to make it easier for users to move between apps. If you keep changing the name of commands/features how can people be expected to find them?
Is the "Speak" feature in the Mini Translator available for use in a copy of Office 2010 running over Windows XP? I know that in Office 2007 you guys as a company moved all speech-related features into Windows Vista and 7 and simply implemented them in Office. Is TTS available in Windows XP? Is there a way to get it if not? Are there any other features that are implemented in Office 2010 but actually embedded in Windows Vista and/or 7? Is there any way to get them back via some sort of plug-in that adds these features to Windows XP? It would be nice if all future Office releases had patches for operating systems previous to Windows Vista and 7 containing the features implemented in Office but not in the base OS so that users of said OSes could enjoy the full Office experience.
You mentioned the translator is available for Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and OneNote. What about Excel? I get financial statements in Spanish.
Yes, firstly please clarify whether Windows XP users wil get Text to Speech engines. Also the above links are to the server speech engines and voices. These server voices will work in Office 2010 RTM or will there be separate client voices? Lastly, why are these voices not being offered as standard Windows TTS voices similar to Anna?
These are only text to speech features. What about speech **recognition**?
Bitte wer kann mir helfen? Bei Office 2010 erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung:
DPF Initialization failed Error code2
this is an interesting improvement. tts engine is exciting in deed
Didn't we have this in earlier versions of Office? I remember it was removed in office 2010, but...
ini sunguh sangat menarik dan sangat membantu dalam melakukan pekerjaan. terima kasih banyak
Как включить новый голос? Я до сих пор только получить microsoft Сэма. Я хочу эти проклятые программы пришли с REAL руководства или одно, что вы можете купить на BN.com или Амазонкы... или то, что рассказывает вам о всех опрятное новые вещи, они считали пиявка больше денег из вашего кармана с новой версией. Благодарю вас всех.

I wish these damned programs came with a REAL manual or one that you can buy at BN.com or Amazon...or SOMEWHERE that tells you about all the neat new stuff they thought of to leech more money out of your pocket with the new version. Thank you all.

Considering most of the Screen Junkies staff is made up of former PR reps and current porn addicts, the word "pride" doesn't come up too often 'round these parts. Nonetheless, we take great pride in presenting the first episode of Girl Crazy for your viewing pleasure.
Written by and starring Elisha Yaffe and Dan Cohen, Girl Crazy is an original comedy series about shy, neurotic guys and the girls they are too afraid to talk to. If that sounds like it was copied right from the show's website, that's because it was. Like I said, some of us used to be in PR.
The show features an ensemble cast including Codi Fischer, Ann Maddox, Holly Prazoff (UCB LA), Alison Becker (Parks & Rec), and Jenna Lyng. More importantly, it's very funny. So watch it, and when you're done, click here to check out some Girl Crazy shorts.

LaRay Barna
We are so sad to share with you that LaRay Barna passed away Saturday morning, October 16, 2010, a few weeks after her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. We are profoundly at a loss for words to say all that could be said about this simply magnificent woman who has been a part of all of our lives, both personally and professionally.
Some of you may know her as the woman who taught the first class ever in intercultural communication, convincing the dean that the international students needed such an unheard of thing. Others of you may know her writings on culture shock and stumbling blocks. Some may know her as our lovely colleague at the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication (SIIC), whose witty annual riff on aging was the highlight of SIIC openings. Some of you may have been guided by her insightful career counseling or received her detailed and gracious comments on your graduate school papers. If you were a SIIC intern, she has memorized your resume! And many of you may be doing what you are doing partly in response to LaRay's inspiration.
Whatever your connection, know that we have lost a pioneer in our field, a woman who created pathways where none existed before, and a friend who was there for us over the decades. She is truly loved and we will miss her dearly.
LaRay's granddaughter Carin, daughter of Shari Barna, has suggested that as a dedicated educator, LaRay would appreciate a scholarship fund in her name for SIIC. We are honored to be able to do this. For those of you who wish to participate in this form of celebrating her memory, we have started a special fund in her name, and donations can be sent to ICI to the LaRay Barna Scholarship Fund, or through PayPal.
Our intercultural community shares the spirit of LaRay during times when such a spirit is most needed in the world, and when she will be most sorely missed. We send her family our wishes for peace, and our certainty that LaRay is among us.

|Charity Horse Show Events to Benefit Blowing Rock Emergency Organizations
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Tuesday, 23 June 2009 11:31
Equestrian teams will return to Blowing Rock in late July after performing earlier this month.
According to Amanda Lugenbell, the assistant director of the Blowing Rock Tourism Development Authority, this year's Charity Horse Show started with the Saddlebred show on June 11, where more than 350 horses and riders competed in 105 divisions for $15,000 in prize money.
The second phase of the 86th Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show will be held at the Town's Equestrian Preserve. The event will feature a Hunter and Jumper competition on July 22 until the 26, and July 29 through August 2.
The executive director of the Blowing Rock TDA, Tracy Brown, said he expects there will be rooms available at several lodging locations in and around Blowing Rock for spectators who are coming up the mountain.
The Charity Horse Show is also an economic generator for Blowing rock as Brown explained that four people accompany each horse in the show and spend an average of $150 per day during the event.
Gates at the Equestrian Preserve open each show day at 8:00 a.m. Admission is $5 and proceeds will go to support the Blowing Rock Fire Department, Rescue Squad, and other local organizations. More information can be found at www.BlowingRockEquestrian.com.

THE PICTURE: So Bad
August 18, 2010
I hate to spoil the fun of the connoisseurs of kitsch. But no matter how hard I try, the truth is that I rarely find that something is so bad that it's good. Mostly I find, at least as far as art and literature are concerned, that what is really bad is really bad. I will, however, make a partial exception for the later work of Salvador Dalí, which is the subject of an exhibition that has just opened at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The stuff that Dalí did from the 1940s until his death in 1989 is god awful, but there is a sicko integrity about its awfulness.

Two weeks ago, Gov. Jon Huntsman presented a proposal for what he calls a "flatter tax" - one that may exclude many exemptions that are available for Utah taxpayers.
"This proposal is flatter, fairer and simpler than the current structure and will make Utah highly competitive in our economic development efforts," said Huntsman. "At the same time, this proposal will protect the lower income individuals and families in our state."
The plan lowers the income tax rate from seven percent to five percent.
The proposed rate will take Utah from the 16th highest rate in the nation to the 35th highest. Utah's rate will be lower than all Western states except Colorado.
The proposal allows for an exemption of $12,000 per household, regardless of income levels.
In addition, there will be a $4,000 per person exemption for each dependent. The charitable tax credit is anticipated to encourage greater giving.
The governor outlined a typical scenario for a Utah family and compared how that scenario would be affected by the proposed flat tax.
In the example, a family with an adjusted gross income of $50,000 with four exemptions makes a housing interest deduction of $5,000 and a property tax deduction of $1,000. Two examples were given to reflect the adjustment that a charitable donation of approximately 10 percent would have on the family's taxable income. With the charitable deduction, the family has a taxable income of $39,000. Without the charitable deduction, that increases to $44,000.
However, the biggest difference under the governor's proposal is the amount of tax paid on that amount. The tax under the current structure is $1,801 with the charitable donation, $1,898 without it.
Huntsman indicates that his plan will reduce the amounts to $1,415 for the example with the charitable exemption and $1,540 for the example without the charitable exemption.
"If correctly implemented, in the long run, everyone wins," said Keith Prescott, one of the tax advisers who crafted the new plan. "One of Gov. Huntsman's goals was to protect the lower income individuals and families, while creating a more competitive economic environment and this plan meets that objective."
Prescott is a tax expert who has been Huntsman's tax preparer for years.
The governor and the tax force that presented the proposal indicated that the income tax reform proposal should also make the process of filing taxes much simpler.
The current income tax filing could go from the current two pages with 18-pages of instruction, to a simple postcard-sized form.
As taxpayers head into another fiscal year, it's not just the state that is considering changes for the way taxes are calculated. Huntsman's proposal, even if approved by the 2006 legislature, will not take effect until at least 2007.
However, the United States Internal Revenue Service has announced certain changes that will be implemented for the 2006 tax year.
State tax changes often require the Utah Legislature to act.
In contrast, the IRS has a more broad-sweeping power to amend the tax code as necessary.
Last week, the IRS announced on such change that will affect the amounts which taxpayers can claim related to pension plans. The IRS is governed by Title 6 of United States code. In specific changes were made to part Title 6 U.S. code, section A, chapter one, subchapter D, part one.
One change, the adjustment of limits for cost of living increases, is an annual adjustment made by the IRS commissioner. Various portions of the tax code were adjusted last week to reflect the cost of living increases.
Those changes affect those with various accounts that the employer or the employee contribute to as well as employee stock ownership plans and other pension plans. It also adjusts contribution levels for defining key employees and other various definitions.
Taxpayers should contact their tax preparer or financial adviser for questions regarding the changes to the federal tax rate for his year and the proposed tax changes for the state.

On the Frontline With The Free Syrian Army In Aleppo
A fighter from the Shohada al Haq brigade of the Free Syrian Army... ニュース写真2012年,アレッポ,コンピュータ,シリア,シリア騒乱,テクノロジー,ノートパソコン,ワイヤレステクノロジー,中東,働く,内戦,地域,対立,戦争,旅団,横長,自由シリア軍,集合住宅Photographer Ed GilesCollection: Getty Images News 2012 Ed GilesALEPPO, SYRIA - NOVEMBER 2: (AUSTRALIA OUT) A fighter from the Shohada al Haq brigade of the Free Syrian Army works on a laptop computer in an occupied apartment near the Salahudeen district on November 2, 2012 in Aleppo, Syria. The Shohada al Haq, or 'Martyrs of Truth' brigade control an area on the edge of the Salahudeen district in Aleppo, Syria's largest city. The brigade is made up of around 70 men, holding a handful of positions hidden in apartment blocks on the front line of Aleppo, facing toward Syrian army positions sometimes less than one hundred meters away. The Shohada al Haq use snipers to target Syrian regime troops as they move on the other side of the front, as well as moving between apartment blocks in the 'no man's land' between the two forces, occupying positions of advantage over the Syrian military. The brigade, or 'Katiba', live in the apartments they occupy, and the unit of rebel fighters is made up of former soldiers who defected from the Syrian military alongside men from Aleppo and other cities across Syria who have chosen to fight in Syria's increasingly violent civil war.

Hilarious "Bad Santa" Prank Filmed Locally
Andrew Celani -- WZLX.com December 12, 2012 10:22 AM
What's at the top of your Christmas wish list? Is it a used toilet paper roll? Or an empty soda bottle? If that's the case, then wouldn't you be so lucky to run into this Santa Claus…
NSFW (language)
From the same people who brought us the Scary Snowman prank, comes another holiday-themed practical joke that takes advantage of a pedestrian's curiosity. Filmed in the streets of Providence, hidden cameras capture people one-by-one opening undesirable presents from jolly ole Saint Nick.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LOGANVILLE -- South Gwinnett's boys came into Monday night's regular season finale at Grayson with the No. 3 seed in the Region 8-AAAAA tournament secure.
But the Comets were still in need of something positive having lost three straight and five of their last eight.
And with the host Rams trying to make a second-half comeback, Adonis Harrison gave his team the positive it was looking for.
The 6-foot-4 senior scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter as the Comets held off the Rams' charge and eventually pulled away for a 95-81 victory.
"We did (need the win)," South coach Scott Bracco said after his team improved to 17-8 overall and 9-7 in region. "A couple of games back, we lost one of our starters -- Jeff Quarterman -- for the season with a broken leg. ... That was a big blow to our chemistry, but I think we finally go the rotations and the chemistry together (Monday) night."
The Comets did look in synch most of the night in a game played a breakneck speed, thanks in no small part to Harrison, plus another big night from Javonte Maynor (game-high 24 points, six rebounds, four steals, three assists) and John Harris (19 points, six assists).
"It was a good win to end the regular season," said Harrison, who added 20 rebounds, four blocked shots, three assists and three steals to his point total. "It's tournament time, which means it's time we played hard."
South played plenty hard from the opening tip, using runs of 8-2 and 10-3 in the first quarter to built a 28-18 lead by the end of the period.
The lead reached as much as 44-26 after a Mykesse Thompson stickback with 3:06 left in the first half before Grayson (12-13, 6-10) slowly began to chip away.
A transition dunk by Andrew Osemhen keyed a 12-4 run over the final 2:51 of the half that pulled the Rams back to within 48-38 by intermission.
Grayson then turned up its defensive pressure, forcing South into eight turnovers in the third quarter.
And when reserve Callen Hightower came up with a steal and a layup off the fullcourt press to cap an 11-4 run, the Rams and pulled to within 60-59 with 1:52 left in the third quarter and trailed just 68-65 heading into the final frame.
"I expected kind of a windshield wiper-type game," Grayson coach Brian Anderson said. "We really buried ourselves in the first half, but I was impressed with our fight."
But after Hightower's foul line jumper with 7:32 left cut the South lead to 68-67, the Rams' fight began to run out of gas, while Harrison's and the Comets' tank still had plenty left.
After a T.J. Guthrie drive down the lane, Harrison came up with a pair of defensive rebounds and turned them into baskets on the other end to push South's lead back to 74-67 with 6:25 to play.
And with Grayson trying to hang in the game, Harrison delivered the knockout blow, grabbing an offensive rebound and slamming it home to push the Comets' lead to 85-75 with 3:30 left, and the Rams were never able to pull any closer than nine the rest of the way.
Ciavy Wiles nearly matched Harrison's outstanding individual effort on the evening, finishing with team highs of 23 points and 17 rebounds and adding five assists, while Osemhen added 16 points and five boards.
The Rams, who will open the region tournament as the No. 7 seed and will play No. 2 Central Gwinnett on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., also got 12 points from Javarris Smith, plus nine points and seven assists from Max Fairclough.
Meanwhile, South will take on Berkmar in a first-round game Thursday at 8:30 p.m.

Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick Review & Swatches
I have absolutely must get my hands on more Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick as soon as possible. True Dimensions Lipstick is possibly the best lipstick I've used in a while.
I admit I cringed slightly when I noticed the $18 price tag. Seriously? I think of Mary Kay as more of an Avon type company so I was shocked at that cost. That's closer to a mid-range brand like MAC! Gasp!
But I'm understanding why now…there are quality here!
You NEED this lipstick
This comes in an unusual silver push to release lipstick barrel. Hold the tube between your thumb and middle finger and use your pointer finger to press down on the top of the lipstick and this will release the lipstick. You can proceed to place the cap on the lower end of the lipstick tube which makes into a longer barrel, kinda nifty for application!
Anyway enough of packaging you want to know about the formula right?
Sizzling Red
What can I say? It's so pigmented, so color rich, and so incredibly gorgeous! It applies like butter! Gliding on lips with a soft, rich feel that leaves behind full color in a single stroke! It has a smooth, soft satiny finish with a high sheen that doesn't require gloss to look outstanding. It's moisturizing and feels weightless on lips. It does not migrate nor does it fade quickly or lose intensity! Even after a four hour wear it looked as fresh as when I originally applied it.
No wonder it's $18!
This stuff is lip crack.
I must make it my business to own ALL the shades as soon as possible.
This comes with my highest recommendation to try. Especially the color I tested, Sizzling Red, I can't be without this color!
Very Muse Approved.
You NEED this.
It's available now at www.marykay.com
I hope someone tried this!
Would love to hear your thoughts!
This review contains a sample
product sent for consideration by PR.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
6/5/13 18:36 Robin:
Better than Avon's Totally Kissable line?
6/5/13 19:21 Celia:
The Mary Kay Corp sees itself competing w/dept store brands, like Clinique as opposed to drugstore brands. That said, my personal favorite color in their True Dimensions line is the Sienne Brulee.
6/12/13 18:50 Celia:
I hope you don't think it's too dark for you since I'm a MAC NC30-35. The Naturale one is very nice too.
6/5/13 19:23 amy:
it seems like a great product but 18$ is still too high for Mary Kay. That's crazy
6/5/13 21:07 Celine:
Looks gorgeous on you!
6/5/13 22:37 Tendai:
Avon WISHES their quality is as good as Mary Kay! My favorite lipsticks have always been Mary Kay and pretty much the only company I would ever pay top dollar for because it smells good, it's very moist and the color stays for a long time! Sizzling red looks soooooo good on you that I must have it and other colors as well!!!
6/6/13 7:25 Gwen:
OMG—Muse!!! I already have a call into my Mary Kay rep to get these to me ASAP and I haven't even seen all of the colors yet. I wonder if there is a 12 step program for me and my addiction to lip crack? On the other hand, if loving lip products is wrong I REALLY don't wanna be right.
Thanks for the review—have a lovely day!
6/6/13 8:48 JenJ:
$18 oye vey. It is pretty. This and Mystic Plum are calling my name *shifty eyes*
6/6/13 11:47 Paloma:
My daughter used up all of my only Mary Kay lipstick on my tv, bedroom door, dvr and her hair. I need to contact a Rep!
6/6/13 11:53 Paloma:
lol it was a month or two ago….but this is what came to mind when I saw the rich pigmentation of the wonderful MK formula 😀
6/6/13 11:51 Heather:
Hey Muse- what do you think of this trend of a round lipstick top? Especially on the butter type lipsticks that are so popular. I kind of like the old fashion point at the top .. What do you think?? The best lip butter for me is Bobbi Brown creamy lip color. How do these compare to BB? Thanks!

What? Yes. I'm still alive. Look! A new LEGO book!
So, a brief update. I've fallen out of photography for a little while mostly because I have not been able to afford a new camera, and I've been spending my time doing other things. My wife and I have recently gotten very much back into biking, so recreational rides are taking up a lot of our time. She is just about to finish her masters thesis, and then we are moving to Texas. That's coming up at the end of the month. Life's been busy, and LEGO photography hasn't been at the top of my list.
I've still been collecting the new minifigs, and have been still buying new sets every once in a while. My lovely mother got me the new movie theater modular building for my birthday, but I haven't assembled it because I knew I was moving and transporting LEGO buildings 900 miles in a U-Haul has its drawbacks, obviously. I also received about 7 giant garbage bags full of random pieces, sets, and various other LEGO things. I had to go buy a whole new drawer set, and 2 very large plastic bins to accommodate them all. The mega-awesome thing? In those bags were 4 more of the large modular buildings: fire station, pet store/townhouse, grand emporium, and, wait for it…the green grocer. Whoa. Now, they weren't assembled, but I think the majority of the pieces are all there. The green grocer is going to be the hardest one to reconstruct as all I was able to find assembled was its baseplate – which is how I identified it. Other pieces are there, but it could be a struggle to find them and reconstruct it. We'll see.
Now, a new book you say?
I do.
Well actually, it came out last month, but I just got it delivered to me last week.
A while ago I reviewed a few other books from No Starch Press boasting a number of new, fun builds to enjoy from your existing LEGO bricks. They were pretty rad. I'm happy to report the trend appears to be continuing here with this first volume in a two-volume (or probably more!) series: The LEGO Build-It Book Volume 1: Amazing Vehicles, by Nathanael Kuipers & Mattia Zamboni.
There is a laundry list of things to like about this book. Let me start right at the beginning.
Each of the 10 different vehicle models contained in the book are made with the same set of bricks. Genius. No more digging through your buckets to find that one elusive piece because you decided to make the one build out of the book that used that one infernal brick. But wait, it gets better. If you own LEGO set #5867, the Creator Super Speedster – you already have all the bricks you need. That set is retired, however – otherwise I'd go buy three right now. Just kidding, I couldn't afford that. The fact the models all come from a discontinued set is unfortunate as it will make buildings these to exact specifications much harder for many.
Let us presume, like me, you do not own the Super Speedster and have no clue what the pieces are you'll need. Problem solved on page…uh, well there is no page number. But right there in the front of the book is the "bill of materials," that classic picture list of pieces you find on every official LEGO instruction book. It tells you which bricks, colors, and how many.
Past that, the books gives a little insight into some of the more creative building with parts. Many of the techniques are used often within the builds – such as using simple cylinders for exhaust pipes, or shock absorbers. The next page goes on to explain how certain pieces can substitute for other normal pieces, making the same size and shape but allowing for more color or detail. This is a helpful utility especially when you need bricks to point a certain way to create the correct shape for a car or truck – or anything for that matter. It's not an encyclopedic dive into various alternate building techniques, but over the course of a few pages it does point out a few creative choices that fit perfectly with these models.
Ok, so, the models:
As you can see, there is a lot to choose from. I haven't built any yet, obviously, but just from the book and pictures alone I can safely say I will be building the Jeep (#1 Off-roader), #3 the muscle car, and #9 the street rod. I can't say I have much love for the #4 the stroller, but it's gimmicky so I'll let it slide. Overall, I'm happy with the selection of vehicle choices, especially given Volume 2 is coming soon with 10 more builds. These 10 will fit nicely into any City themed play area, and easily compliment the regular LEGO City sets.
One thing concerns me: none of the pictures show a minifigure in the build. I was also not able to find any info from the authors saying these builds are useable with minifigs. The reason I mention this is as we all know there were some really cool LEGO Technic sets and even some of the new 3-in-1 Creator sets that were built just for show, basically. They don't fit minifigs and apparently aren't designed to by used with them. However, based on what I see in the building instructions it looks like the seats are designed to fit a minifig. So let's hope. Those of you who own the Super Speedster set all of these can be made from might be able to shed a little light on that.
Bottom line: if these cars and trucks (stroller not withstanding) don't fit a minifigure for use with it, the entire book becomes worthless – at least to me. If I wanted to display models I'd go to a hobby store and buy real models. I want my LEGO sets to be useable; dare I say play-with-able.
Clearly, that small tirade bears little slight to the book itself. I will say No Starch has once again put together an excellent book, and the authors/builders have created some fabulous sets to build. The inside reads and looks just like official LEGO building instructions. Each new step clearly shows the added pieces, and thankfully, in case your eyesight is as bad as mine sometimes – has a key to the side of each step showing which pieces you are using and adding. Here's a look inside at a few random pages:
As you can see the pages are very well laid out with easy directions to follow, and above all – the colors are clear and brilliant. Another fine addition is the key at the front of each different model giving technical specs such as the complexity of the build, how many extra functions it has, and how many pieces are required. Also included are special features and some design notes from the authors. Half way through the builds, the models graduate from "regular building" to "advanced building" based on the techniques used to construct the models. There is a three-page spread helping to explain some of the more advanced building techniques and how they work in these models, and can be applied to building almost anything else.
Once again, No Starch Press has offered LEGO enthusiasts a great book full of extra fun for both kids and adults. The beauty of LEGO is even though you buy a set – you can still break it down and do whatever you want to it in the end. It's the creativity of the toy that makes it so wondrous. I've been impressed with most of No Starch's LEGO offerings in the past, and this certainly continues that impression. I'm looking forward to the Volume 2, and more vehicles to add to my LEGO city.
The LEGO Built-It Book Volume 1: Amazing Vehicles is available direct from No Starch Press' website for $19.95.

SHERMAN, TX -- Monday, the Sherman City Council approved a bond to help with improvements to the city's wastewater infrastructure.
The council approved a $1.78 million bond through the Greater Texoma Utility Authority.
The bond will go toward upgrading the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet disinfection system and the Eastside Outfall Sewer.
Mayor Cary Wacker says these projects will ensure the water is properly treated before entering the creek.
She says the bond will not raise water rates and won't impact taxpayers.

Boomers, Coffee, and Weekend Reading
Walking, Yoga Helps Your Brain via PsychCentral
It's not a surprise that exercise helps our brains; we've known that for quite a while. But it turns out that Yoga and walking may help preserve our aging brains in different ways. Both are good, just different.
Derail Your Worry with Mindful Breathing via PsychCentral
A large part of worry is getting wrapped up in the succession of thoughts that float across our consciousness. Even when mindfulness is practiced, chances are that worried, fearful, and angry thoughts will continue to show up. The tricky part is to catch ourselves being carried away with them and gently return to awareness of breathing.
Boomer Generation, Entrepreneurship, and You via My North Carolina
More business of late are being started by boomer entrepreneurs. Why is that? At least part of the answer is that we find ourselves at a crossroad in a number of ways. There is a lot of focus on what aging boomers will do as they retire. But there are other transition points to consider at the same time. There is a gap opened up as kids leave home and there is more time to focus on other endeavors. The current economy is putting many people out of the traditional job market and self-employment is an increasingly popular choice – accidental entrepreneurship is becoming a prime time sport.

Brandon Hatton is wearing a boot on his sprained ankle.
- Filed Under
Dixie Heights junior guard Brandon Hatton's quest to become the school's all-time leading scorer is on hold after he sprained his ankle in Friday's 53-48 loss to Mason County and didn't play in Saturday's 55-51 win over Augusta.
Hatton had 20 points in a 75-61 loss to Conner on Tuesday and then tallied 11 before suffering the injury on Friday. That leaves him 19 points short of breaking the school career scoring record of 1,880 points held by Drew Powers.
Dixie coach Ken Chevalier said Hatton is wearing a boot on the ankle and is, "day to day." ...

Rural and Agricultural Finance Seminar: Taking Stock of Five Years of Innovations
Viewing Value Chain and Household Finance From a Demand Perspective
Financial access is a critical tool in the fight to reduce hunger and poverty. However, to understand how financial services can have an impact, it is crucial to focus on cash flow and risk management at the household level.
ACDI/VOCA's Geoffrey Chalmers and Kadale Consultants Ltd.'s Jason Agar explored value chain and household finance from a demand perspective at USAID's recent Microlinks "After Hours" seminar. They presented on their recent paper, which examines rural and agricultural finance, to about 80 participants online and in-person at QED, LLC, in Washington, D.C.
Innovations in Rural Agricultural Value Chain Finance
Chalmers, who is a senior technical advisor with ACDI/VOCA, led off the discussion about their study, which looked at the last five years of innovations in rural agricultural value chain finance.
"When we started looking at innovations in the field, we were seeing examples of addressing these sometimes ancient problems in slightly different ways than what had been tried before," Chalmers said.
He added, "And that I think does make it pretty interesting, because we start to look at these last five, 10 years and see people that are reassessing these problems, taking a step back and saying, 'Okay, let's look at this from a slightly different angle. Let's bring in a couple new people, new perspectives.'"
Chalmers said it is crucial for development agencies to understand risk and how it influences decision making at the enterprise, value chain and household levels. If practitioners examine how access to more and better financial instruments at the household level can positively impact the entire value chain, their efforts will be better positioned to achieve broad-based economic growth for low-income households.
He also mentioned the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in program design. Agriculture and finance experts need to work together to develop integrated approaches, rather than developing separate, disjointed interventions.
Mitigating Household Risk Crucial for Business Relationships
Agar pointed to how important access to financial services is for rural households to meet regular and unexpected consumption needs. The latter includes emergencies and significant social demands like weddings and other celebrations.
"When you started to look at it in a little bit more depth, it really began to appear that it's things that are happening in the farmers' lives that will drive where they place their cash," said Agar about how household needs affect farmers' business decisions.
He added, "And [farmers] were quite ready to take cash away from non-farm enterprises and their farm enterprises because they had an issue in their lives, in their household, to do with a medical emergency, a funeral, school fees, or they got themselves into some sort of debt."
Such expenses can cause many problems: Farmers "side sell" their crops despite previous contracts with market buyers; they lose increased income opportunities because of forced early sales; power relations between producers and buyers may become exploitative; and very poor farmers have difficulties graduating to semicommercial status.
Value Chain and Finance Research Paper Available
Chalmers' and Agar's research is available in their paper, "Rural and Agricultural Finance: Taking Stock of Five Years of Innovations." In the paper, they report on financial services initiatives since 2006 that form part of the "innovations frontiers" in addressing constraints facing development efforts.

June is one of the most dramatic months in the Serengeti. The wildebeest and zebra are approaching or crossing the Grumeti River where they face the waiting crocodiles. The rains are ending and the dry season is approaching. The migration is heading north up the western corridor of the Serengeti.
June is one of the best months to visit the Serengeti. As a result, it is high season, so expect other visitors. You can avoid the crowds by staying in the private mobile tented camps or some of the better more exclusive lodges (see below).
This is 8 day safari route is a good example of an itinerary that should be followed in June in the Serengeti. It includes visits to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Oldupai Gorge Meseum before entering into the Serengeti for the great wildebeest migration.
Day 1:
Arrive and overnight in Arusha. Most people arrive on a later evening flight into Kilimanjaro International Airport. The KLM flight via Amsterdam is very convenient. You will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in Arusha.
Day 2:
Pick up at your hotel and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This is about a 2 hour drive on good tarred road. Spend the rest of the day on a game drive in Lake Manyara. Lunch is in the form of a picnic while on the game drive.
Late afternoon, drive to Gibb's Farm or Plantation Lodge on the outer slopes of Ngorongoro Crater. This is drive is less than an hour. Check in and go for an optional walk around the farm's coffee plantation.
Day 3:
Breakfast and an optional walking into the Ngorongoro Crater Forests that border the farm.
Drive to Ngorongoro Crater and descend into the crater floor for some superb game viewing. In the evening, return to Gibb's Farm (or Plantation Lodge).
Day 4:
Drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, heading west to the Serengeti. Stop at Oldupai Gorge Meseum en route.
The drive to the Central Serengeti allows guest to enjoy some game viewing. You will stay around the Seronera area in the Serengeti. Preferably this is only a one night stay as the ultimate objective is to get to the Western Corridor of the Serengeti and close the the migration.
You have a good choice of lodges and tented camps in Seronera. The Serena Hotel is possibly the best option, as you will arrive late and be leaving the area early the next morning.
Even though the migration has left the central Serengeti by June, there is still good game to be seen throughout the year. Also, as Seronera is central to most parts of the Serengeti, it is a popular place to be based throughout the year. This is also where the larger lodges (e.g. Serena and Sopa) are located. But, to get away from the large crowds we recommend that most of the safari is spent further west. So, early on day 5, that's where we head.
Day 5:
Drive towards the western corridor of the Serengeti and the Grumeti River. If the timing is right, the wildebeeste and zebra will be crossing the Grumeti River. This is what most people think of as the "migration". The wildebeeste are playing a dangerous game crossing the crocodile infested waters of the Grumeti River. Dramatic scenes of predator kills are regualrly experienced at this time.
Your choice of lodging includes mobile tented camps (from basic to ultra luxury) and permanent safari lodges. The mobile camps are either set up in private campsites or the more budget camps use shared public campsites. The private campsites ensure the camp has exclusive use of the campsite and allows for complete privacy, away from the main tourists.
The luxury lodges close to the Grumeti River include:
Grumeti River Camp, Sabora Plains Camp, Sasakwa Lodge; Faru Faru Lodge.
Some mobile tented camps include:
Serengeti Safari Camps, Mobile Safari Camps, Tanzania under Canvas
There are also a few less expensive mobile camps that can be used.
Day 6 and Day 7
Full day in the Serengeti on a game drive. Your guide will take you amongst the migrating herds and to the Grumeti River. With some luck, you will catch part the river crossing!
Overnight in the same camp as day 5.
Day 8
Breakfast and if time allows, a short game drive.
Fly back to Arusha from one of the airstrips in the Western part of Serengeti.
This is high season in the Serengeti so accommodation is in high demand and will be more expensive than other times of the year. By varying the lodges and camps, the prices can be adapted to meet most budgets.
We prefer smaller mobile camps or lodges, thereby avoiding the bulk of the crowds. We feel it is better to sacrifice some luxury in your room or hotel than to sacrifice the opportunity of experiencing the Serengeti without the large crowds. In other words, a basic mobile camp in a private campsite is better than a large standard hotel/lodge in a busy area. If budget allows, a luxury mobile camp is ideal.

For a detailed map of the Serengeti, see Serengeti National Park Map
No comments made yet. Be the first to share your experience!
Start Like most safaris to the Serengeti, this safari begins and ends in Arusha.
Facilities Stay in the western Serengeti close to the Grumeti River. We recommend the mobile tented camps as these provide the best chance of being close to the migration. Alternatively, Grumeti Reserve Camps.

The title says it all how should a women pray her salah, i know the differance of the opinion but what is the right way and could you provide evidence,
I don't know which way to pray please help

Christopher Paolini

Christopher Paolini at Lucca Comics & Games in 2012
|Christopher James Paolini
November 17, 1983
Los Angeles, California, U.S.
|Notable works
|Inheritance Cycle
Christopher James Paolini[1] (born November 17, 1983, Los Angeles, California)[2] is an American author. He is best known as the author of the Inheritance Cycle, which consists of the books Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance. He lives in Paradise Valley, Montana, where he wrote his first book.
Christopher James Paolini was born in Southern California and raised in the area of Paradise Valley, Montana.[3] His family members include his parents, Kenneth Paolini and Talita Paolini, and his younger sister, Angela Paolini.[4] Homeschooled for the duration of his education, Paolini graduated from high school at the age of 15 through a set of accredited correspondence courses from the American School of Correspondence in Lansing, Illinois. Following graduation, he started his work on what would become the novel Eragon, the first of a series set in the mythical land of Alagaesia.
In 2002, Eragon was published by Paolini International LLC, Paolini's parents' publishing company. To promote the book, Paolini toured over 135 schools and libraries, discussing reading and writing, all the while dressed in "a medieval costume of red shirt, billowy black pants, lace-up boots, and a jaunty black cap."[4] He drew the cover art for the first edition of Eragon, which featured Saphira's eye, along with the maps on the inside covers of his books.[5]
In summer 2002, the stepson of author Carl Hiaasen found Eragon in a bookstore and loved it, so Hiaasen brought it to the attention of his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf.[6][7] Knopf subsequently made an offer to publish Eragon and the rest of the Inheritance cycle. The second edition of Eragon was published by Knopf in August 2003. At the age of nineteen, Paolini became a New York Times bestselling author.[8]
In December 2006, Fox 2000 released the film adaptation of Eragon in theaters around the world.
Paolini's essay "It All Began with Books" was included in the April 2005 anthology Guys Write for Guys Read.
Eldest, the sequel to Eragon, was released August 23, 2005. The third book in the cycle, Brisingr, was released on September 20, 2008.[9] Although the Inheritance Cycle was planned as a trilogy, a fourth book, Inheritance,[10] was needed to conclude the story.
To date, the Inheritance Cycle has sold more than 35 million copies.[11] On March 23, 2011, Random House announced the cover, title, and release date of Inheritance. It was released on November 8, 2011 in the US, Australia, New Zealand, the EU and India, and was subsequently translated and published in fifty-three countries.
Paolini is currently working on a science fiction novel[12] and plans to return to the world of Alagaësia with a fifth book[13] at some point in the future.
Paolini's literary inspirations include the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, Frank Herbert and E. R. Eddison as well as the epic poem Beowulf.[6] Paolini said that Eragon was "specifically inspired" by Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, by Bruce Coville. Other literary influences include Tad Williams, David Eddings, Andre Norton, Brian Jacques, Anne McCaffrey, Raymond E. Feist, Mervyn Peake, Ursula K. Le Guin. Other favorite authors include Jane Yolen,[4] Philip Pullman,[14] Terry Brooks,[15] and Garth Nix.[6]
In a nod to Frank Herbert's Dune, Paolini wrote in Brom's story that the first dragon that the elves kept was Bid'Daum, which is Muad'Dib, in reverse.[14]
Nature influences much of Paolini's writing. In an interview with Philip Pullman and Tamora Pierce, Paolini said that Paradise Valley, Montana is "one of the main sources" of his inspiration.[16]
In the acknowledgments of Brisingr, Paolini acknowledged the influence of Leon and Hiroko Kapp's The Craft of the Japanese Sword for his description of the forging of Eragon's sword.[17] Additionally, Paolini admitted he is a Doctor Who fan, which inspired his reference to the "lonely god" (the epithet given to the Doctor by the Face of Boe in the episode "New Earth"), to "rooms that are bigger on the inside than the outside" (from "Questions Unanswered" in Inheritance), as well as to Raxacoricofallapatorius, the home of the Doctor Who Slitheen ("Blood Price" in Inheritance).[18][19][20]
Paolini's books have sold very well and have topped the charts of the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists.[21][22][23]
The Guinness World Records recognized Christopher Paolini as the "youngest author of a bestselling book series" on January 5, 2011.[24]
