- How to Read a Study Record
The clinical and histological diagnosis of sarcomas is often very difficult. The identification of chromosomal and molecular anomalies, such as amplifications, deletions or fusion genes is a powerful help for establishing a correct diagnosis of sarcomas and their benign counterparts. However, the cost of the cytogenetic and molecular techniques for the detection of these alterations is often a limitation to their use. The aim of our study is to evaluate the direct cost of the molecular techniques in comparison to the cost that would be generated by an appropriate therapy and care management of the patient in case of an erroneous diagnosis.

Take a Deep Breath
Appreciate the breath of life by connecting with the One who is in control of all.
Also of Interest
Before saying a word, take a deep breath and smile.
I received this treasured advice for speaking, teaching, and preaching either from a communications professor in college or from John Ortberg—maybe both.
Before shooting a free throw, hitting a serve, or taking a snap, breathe deep.
These words are valuable coaching for athletes in any sport.
Although I'm neither a polished speaker nor an accomplished athlete, I do have significant experience breathing. An entire life full of it, actually. Yet respiration has rarely captured my sustained attention or imagination.
Until now.
It began when I saw Kirk Cousins, an NFL quarterback, on the local news as he shared the benefits of a new training regimen focused on his brain and his breathing. His goal: to gain a competitive edge by regulating stress and improving mental awareness on and off the field. I'd like that, too, I thought.
Soon after, the leader for a three-day retreat I was on guided attendees to begin turning full attention toward God by telling us to "pay attention to your breathing. Allow yourself to inhale and exhale slowly and deeply to help you relax and focus." Upon hearing those words, I first thought about how similar that sounds to Kirk Cousins' training. It took several deep breaths until my attention went elsewhere. But it eventually did.
Some will roll their eyes at something that sounds like new age drivel. But what if there is more to breathing than what first comes to mind? Specifically, many people know about "breath prayers." Let's venture further in that direction—and add a twist.
Recall the first and most important, very intimate interaction between God and man. "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7)
This is how the Bible describes the start of human life. Considering the common knowledge that every cell in our bodies needs oxygen to survive, it's clear to see that the "breath of life" phenomenon continues to make life possible.
How does all this relate to the calming effect a deep breath has on a speaker, or the focus, stress relief, and competitive edge it delivers to an athlete? In 1975, Harvard Medical center cardiologist and researcher Dr. Herbert Benson coined the term "the relaxation response" to describe how short periods of meditation, using breathing as a focus, could alter the body's stress response. Nearly four decades later, the data continues to accumulate.
To consciously breathe well—to deliberately inhale/exhale in a slower and deeper manner—can serve as a spiritual act. Specifically, it can serve as a reminder of reliance on God and also as a thank you to God for his presence—an expression, however brief, of gratitude for life. More than a "breath prayer," this is a breath as the actual prayer. No words required.

Subject Recruitment Policies and Procedures
These policies and procedures apply to the recruitment of research subjects through the Department of Psychology at Drexel University from among the student body via our electronic presences, our laboratories, or lecture halls. Research protocols that have not been fully approved by the Drexel Institutional Review Board (IRB) are not eligible for recruiting participants from Psychology Department courses. Approval to recruit does not convey any endorsement on the part of the Department of Psychology.
All research conducted in the Department of Psychology at Drexel University on campus or online, which involves our students, faculty, or staff, requires adherence to the ethical guidelines of the American Psychological Association and the full approval of Drexel University's IRB.
All aspects of recruitment from Psychology courses is at the discretion of the course instructors, which includes, but is not limited to, extra credit, record keeping, and scheduling. Instructors are free to decline involvement in any study.
Recruitment from classes requires the documented approval of the course instructor. If the SONA system is used, then recruitment also requires the approval of the SONA coordinator in the Department of Psychology. Approvals are not automatic.
The course instructor may approve the awarding of extra credit for student participation in research. Department policies require this to be uniformly awarded across all participating courses in the Department as follows:
Protocols may offer payment or other approved remuneration or other non-course related incentives in addition to extra credit. Credit for participation shall be recorded in full at the time a subject shows up. Documentation of the student's participation is noted through SONA Systems and is distributed to the course instructor via email no later than the final week of classes in that term. Extra credit cannot elevate a grade above 100%. Any disputes regarding the assignment of extra credit will be resolved using the University policies regarding the assignment of grades.
A Principal Investigator (PI) who is also a course instructor or Teaching Assistant (TA) cannot recruit research participants from a course s/he is teaching. Classroom recruitment usually consists of a presentation by the PI or a member of the research team, along with an approved handout that contains contact information, schedules, and research details. Neither the Psychology Department nor the course instructor are permitted to assume any responsibility for scheduling, directions, or any other form of subject contact.
The Department of Psychology provides research experiences for its students primarily as a pedagogical opportunity and not as a pool for general research. As such, research protocols that are primarily psychological in nature and that have psychology faculty/graduate students as PI are afforded preference. Investigators who are not members of the Department of Psychology must have a co-PI or consultant who is a member of the Psychology Department on the research project to be eligible to recruit from Psychology Department courses. And these individuals must also have an approved Drexel University IRB protocol and conform to other policies for recruitment stated within this document.
Students who are not able to resolve disagreements regarding extra credit for research participation at the Instructor level may appeal to the Undergraduate Director, as is normally provided by usual academic procedures. If the Undergraduate Director withholds permission for an otherwise apparently complete protocol, an appeal may be made to the Department Head, or in the case of a conflict of interest, to the Director of the Doctoral Training Program. Under no circumstances is there an appeal to overturn the decision of an individual course instructor not to allow recruiting of participants from his or her Psychology course.
The Department of Psychology Subject Recruitment Policies and Procedures are to be included in documentation made available to all sections of PSY 101, 111, and 112. Psychology 101, 111, and 112 sections are automatically enrolled in SONA systems to allow students to participate in research, but individual instructors may choose whether to create their own alternative extra credit assignments in lieu of those offered on SONA systems.
Text related to the Department of Psychology's Subject Recruitment Policies and Procedures should be included in the syllabus of any course providing extra credit to students for volunteering to participate in research. This text will be distributed to course instructors at the start of each term by the SONA systems coordinator for inclusion in the syllabus.
Approved by Psychology Department Faculty Meeting 3/13/9; Revised 9/21/98, 12/5/05, 8/09

The high school football season has two weeks of the regular season to go, with the playoffs to follow. But basketball is almost here.
Practice officially begins on Monday and Central Gwinnett will play at Collins Hill in the first games on Nov. 13. With Thanksgiving earlier than usual this year, most teams in the county will be in action by either Nov. 16 or Nov. 17 -- almost a week earlier on the calendar than some seasons.
"You get used to not having a lot of time," Norcross girls coach Angie Hembree said. "But it's not really a problem for us. It's the boys team who are hit the hardest, especially if they have many football players."
It should be another season of success in Gwinnett, which boosts some of the most dominant programs in the state and some of the top girls talent in the nation in seniors Diamond DeShields (Norcross), Kaela Davis (Buford) and Lexie Brown (North Gwinnett).
Wesleyan, which won its fifth straight girls state championship last March, has a shot at history this season. The Wolves can match the Hart County girls' record of six consecutive state championships from 1989-94.
"Our goal is always to win the state championship," Wesleyan coach Jan Azar said. "But each season is different. There is enough pressure as it is. We're not thinking about what happened before or a streak."
With the move to six classes from five, the Wolves will be competing in Class AA rather than A this season, but their first title during the recent run was at that level.
Wesleyan has won nine titles in the past 11 years, four in Class AA.
Lovett is back to defend its Class AA title from last season and in the same five-team Region 6-AA with Wesleyan and Greater Atlanta Christian.
The Wesleyan girls were the only Gwinnett team to win a state title last season after the county claimed a record five -- third girls and two boys -- in 2010 and four in 2011. But Buford, now in Class AAA, played Lovett for the Class AA title, while the Norcross and North Gwinnett girls reached the semifinals.
The Buford girls had won three straight state titles and the Norcross girls had won two straight in Class AAAAA, which is now Class AAAAAA.
There will be a big change in the state tournament in addition to the expansion to six classifications and the splitting of Class A into public and private schools. All tourney games will be played in high schools gyms until the semifinals and the championships will be March 7-9 in Macon.
The top two classes were forced out of the Arena at Gwinnett Center because of a schedule conflict caused in part by the SEC Women's Tournament.
Traveling to Macon is nothing new for schools like Buford, GAC and Wesleyan. But Gwinnett's schools in the top classification are used to being able to stay home if they were fortunate enough to advance in the tournament.
Both the Norcross boys and girls won state titles in 2011 and Gwinnett teams pulled off impressive streaks at the Arena earlier in the past decade. The Collins Hill girls, with Maya Moore, won three straight titles from 2005 through 2007 and the Norcross boys won three in row from 2006 through 2008.
All told, Gwinnett teams have won 31 state titles since 2000 and are hoping for more this season.
That's why the start of practice brings so much anticipation even when football is still going strong.
"Everyone is excited to get started," said North Gwinnett boys coach Zach Smith, who took the Bulldogs to the state quarterfinals last season.
High school basketball practice starts on Monday and teams don't have much preparation time before hitting the court for keeps. Here are some dates to remember.
Nov. 13: First games, Central at Collins Hill
Nov. 14: Norcross girls vs. McEachern in Lady Blue Tip-Off
Nov. 15: Parkview Tip-Off openers
Nov. 17: Coaches vs. Cancer at Berkmar and start of Jared Cook Tip-Off at North
Dec. 1: Nike Explosion at Wheeler
Dec. 15: GAC showcase
Dec. 27-29: Deep South Classic at Brookwood and Peach State Invitational at Holy Innocents'
Jan. 26: Hilton Invitational at Norcross
Feb. 11-16: Region tournaments
Feb. 19-20: Start of state tourney
March 7-9: State championships in Macon

Chicago prep shortstop commits to Ducks
Shortstop Jerry Houston, one of the top recruits in Chicago, has made a verbal commitment to sign with the Ducks, the SouthTown Star reported.
Described as a 5-foot-8, 165-pound speedster, Houston hit .427 with 12 doubles, three homers, 31 runs and 25 RBIs last season for Mount Carmel.
"I loved the coaching staff and their facilities are nice," Houston told the publication. "They're going to push me and I'll have a shot to win a College World Series."
"Jerry is one of the most talented kids I've ever coached and an even better person," Mount Carmel coach Brian Hurry said. "He's a high character guy and a hard worker. I'm extremely excited he's going to get to play at Oregon."

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi everybody,
I have several backup jobs running in the same target, that generates BKF like B2D000288.BKF, so, how can i do to each job generates a customized filename .bkf for example TexasServer.bkf, AndroidServer.bkf, etc....
Thanks a lot

No. BE 2012 only allows you to create one storage per volume.
Why do you care which disk media is used by which job for which server? Let BE manage them for you. All you need to do is to set the retention period correctly so that the backup set is not overwritten before they are needed.
Having said this, if you MUST know which media is used by which job, take a look at the joblog. The media used is listed there.

Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Sleek Makeup fans rejoice as their is a new Sleek Make Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette available for a limited time for Summer 2014. The Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette features twelve shades of eyeshadow inspired by the tranquil, calm feel of Ibiza's chilled out atmosphere, with soft coral oranges of the sunset, deep aqua blues of the sea and sublime greens of the picturesque view.
Take a look!
Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette
When it comes to beauty on a budget I think the Sleek Makeup i-Divine Eyeshadow Palettes give you a nice bang for your buck. They include twelve shades of shadow in a slim, easy on the storage, easy to travel with black compact featuring a generous size mirror and a double ended sponge applicator for application. At $12 bucks per palette no one can deny these are a super cheap thrill especially since Sleek Makeup's eyeshadows are typically formulated with a smooth velvety texture that's heavy on the pigment.
Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Swatches (Balearic Beat, Paradise, Chilled Out)
Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Swatches (On the Rocks, Talamanca, Feel Euphoric)
Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Swatches (Ambiance, Blue Marlin, Opening Party)
Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Swatches (Lounge Lovers, Poolside, Sunset Strip)
Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette is a funky selection of Summer shades that are subtly bright and playful. These are oddly textures as I can't decide if they are more of a satin, semi-matte, or matte formula. One of the shades, Lounge Lover, is true to Sleek's original eyeshadow formula with a creamy texture and a slightly frosty finish. The other shades are more of a combination satin matte texture. I find the colors soft and silky but slightly chalky when applied. The shades are very subtle and color has to be packed on considerably to achieve the best color pay off. A cream base or shadow helps to give them a better color pay off but not by much. They are the type of formula which blends color away as you apply so you're left building and building and building during application. I felt the colors faded very quickly both with and without primer under them. It's also difficult to get contrast and definition when shades are used together as they blend together in a muddy finish.
Unfortunately, the Sleek Makeup Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette was disappointing for me. The colors are a bit too washed out and prove a hassle to build up and even when they are built up they are unimpressive. You might consider this one a purchase if you don't mind brighter yet more subtly pigmented eyeshadows. Personally I expect more from Sleek Makeup and the more just isn't showing up in the Del Mar i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette.

I use my Garden of Eden palette all the time. I got super excited when I saw the beginning of the post, but the colors are definitely not appealing to me. I really don't like mattes, but they should at least perform well! I'll hold out until another new one comes out.
5/23/14 20:03 ChristyMG:
That's a shame, the blues and purples are gorgeous :/
5/23/14 23:12 Laney:
A ton of these colors look like dupes for lime Crime colors, and at a better price!!
5/24/14 0:14 Nat:
Oh Muse, your eyelashes look positively velvety in these pics! *sigh* Such pretty, dark doe eyes – I am jelly! 😀
P.S. Love those little bird earrings too!
5/24/14 4:47 Kate:
I'm on the fence about it – I felt like they were a bit more sheer than their signature heavily pigmented shadows. However, sleek mattes are EXTREMELY hit or miss, so I wasn't too surprised. I still like it, though – about 60% of these eyeshadows I just don't have dupes of. They put out quite interesting colors!
5/24/14 5:01 BeautyThink:
Hey Isabella!
Great Review! Ive been wondering how well these palettes work! Love the swatches!
Great Job.
You might be intrested in my review of the Cosmetics palettes! Check it out!
5/24/14 10:26 Melody:
Sad they lack the pigment as I got excited at first for wearable bright colors on a budget! I'm def about budget lately 😉 I think I'll try one of Sleek's cheek palettes..
5/26/14 13:23 Vanita:
Wow, very colourful and very pigment! These colors are not wearable for my style though
5/26/14 22:13 Mimi:
Ah! I love seeing some more British make up reviews! It's great that we can order Sleek online! (And then there is Bourjios that doesn't ship to the US and basically says "Haha silly Americans, you cannot buy our products! Except for at ASOS who constantly sells out of everything!")

Access for people with disabilities
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that 15 per cent of world population are with disabilities. However, information and communication technologies (ICT) have the potential for making significant improvements in the lives of these persons, allowing them to enhance their social and economic integration in communities by enlarging the scope of activities available to them.
International Day of Persons with Disabilities is celebrated annually since 1992 on 3 December to promote an understanding of disability issues and to mobilise support for the dignity and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the inclusion of persons with disabilities in every aspect of life.
UNESCO is one of the UN agencies that promotes and supports the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted in 2006. The UN Convention represents the universal framework, which reaffirms that all persons with all types of disabilities can enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms.
High Level Dialogue - Making Empowerment a Reality – Accessibility for All
Plenary session from 9.00 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.
27 May 2015
UNESCO, as facilitator of the WSIS Action Line C3 – Access, will bring together high level panelists who are actively engaged in the international cooperation, policy making, civil society and human rights activities, and industrial development in order to share their experiences in the area of digital inclusion and contribute to shaping the Action Line's future.

- Conference Proceedings (DOC - PDF)
- New Delhi Declaration on Inclusive ICTs for Persons with Disabilities: Making Empowerment a Reality (DOC - PDF)

Filinvest resort eyes over P1-B expansion-A A +A
Thursday, February 6, 2014
ENCOURAGED by Mactan's thriving tourism industry, Filinvest Corp.'s first hospitality venture, Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan, announced it will be spending P1.1 billion for the resort's expansion project this year.
James M. Montenegro, area general manager for Quest Hotel and Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan told reporters Wednesday that the Gotianun-led resort is adding 60 to 100 rooms, ballrooms and new restaurants in a 5,000-square-meter vacant area at the back of the hotel.
The expansion, he said, is meant to facilitate the increasing number of guests staying in their resort in anticipation of more robust tourism developments in Mactan, including the completion of the airport's rehabilitation.
Crimson is a 290-room resort and spa facility which opened in 2010. The four-year old resort sits on a six-hectare property in Mactan and is managed by Filinvest's hospitality arm Filarchipelago Hospitality Inc.
"Although there are a lot of things to fix in Cebu to enhance the tourism experience, the demand for resorts here is picking up," said Montenegro.
Crimson ended 2013 with a 75-percent occupancy rate. The resort is projecting six to seven percent growth year on year.
The resort will commence construction before the end of this month. The expansion project is expected to finish by 2017.
Montenegro also reported "good growths" for both Quest Hotel and Crimson despite the twin calamities that hit the province last year.
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake rocked Cebu and Bohol last Oct. 15. Three weeks after the earthquake, super typhoon Yolanda left huge destruction in the northern part of Cebu.
The three-star, 427-room Quest Hotel logged 70 percent occupancy in 2013.
"The hotel had a good buffer prior to the calamities," he said. He added the influx of international relief volunteers after the calamities also spiked occupancy of city hotels.
Quest hotel is projecting growth of 10 to 12 percent year on year.
Montenegro anchored his confidence and optimism to hit targets this year on the back of the domestic meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions market, which keeps on growing year after year.
"There were postponements after the calamities but, for sure, the domestic Mice market would be spending a lot this year," said Montenegro.
Tourism stakeholders in Cebu earlier expressed excitement for 2014 as it braces for events related to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in 2015.
Hotel, Resort and Restaurant Association of Cebu president Cenelyn Manguilimotan reported that Apec organizers have started doing initial inspections for the five major hotels in the city that will house Apec officials and delegates. She said this year will also be a year of preparation of the upcoming International Eucharistic Congress in January 2016.

Rated 2.9 out of 5�by 8 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by breeze Save your money i needed a slightly larger cooler than my Yeti 65 for hunting trips. This cooler should be called a heater. I just had a party using this and my Yeti. Packed with same cool drinks on same day. 24 hours later all ice had melted versus Yeti ice almost frozen. Save up your money and buy a Yeti. I took my Igloo back and no I don't work for Yeti or have any interest in the company. Just sharing real world comparison. June 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rob multi purpose You could fit a body in here...great product. Worth the money. May 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Don Trash and Used I received my product with trash in it looked used December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rums Great cooler Great cooler holds 8 30 packs of beer ice cold for Eagles games December 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Steve d Came with a broken strap It came with the strap broken that prevents the lid from swinging back too far, and the hinges are already cracked because of it. It's a big cooler and fairly inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. I'll probably take off the hinges eventually and just set the lid on it. I recommend it only if you don't mind a broken lid immediately. December 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Coach Schenck Works as designed Great ice chest for one sack of crawfish. Cleans easy, doesn't leak and is not to heavy for the size. April 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Clinton The last comment seems to hurried in jud This cooler is large and 'rated' for 7 days. Without knowing the full details of the last review, I can only assume they filled the chest with room temperature items. Any amount of ice will melt to cool room temperature items. If all items are pre-cooled, and proper opening is managed, this cooler will surpass most needs. Great cooler, better than most at the price. August 22, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5�by Camp Mom what a joke Our family does alot of camping and we needed a new cooler. This cooler claims to keep ice for 3 days. I packed the cooler with beer, water and pop on Friday night covering it all in lots of ice. Put it in the canopy of the pick up. We were unable to go at the last minute so the ice chest was left in the back of the pickup until monday morning. The temp outside was in the 80's and the cooler was never opened. Now this is the coolers maiden voyage....there wasn't any ice in the cooler Monday morning and the beaverages weren't even a little cold. DO NOT buy this cooler. August 16, 2011

This picture shows that, when it comes to making new friends, it really does not matter what species one belongs to.
Thus, a rescued cat named Kara and a bunny called Melba share a very special bond, despite the fact that they hardly have anything in common (except an inborn passion for sleeping, apparently).
Given the fact that Kara spends most of its awake time grooming Melba, some might wonder whether or not the latter ever gets tired of getting this much attention.
Still, their human mother says that this is not the case, Buzzfeed reports.
As she puts it, "Kara can groom Melba all she wants and Melba never tires of Kara's attention. They share a special bond with each other and the fact that they're different species makes no difference to them."

On the regulatory front, implementation has already begun in some areas and we should see more clarity from regulators during the course of 2012. However, many aspects of that agenda are still evolving, particularly at a national level, and banks find themselves trying to crack a complex code to determine the best path for their future without all the clues at their disposal.
As those clues reveal themselves, the extent of the impact on business and operating models will become much clearer.
Whether viewed through an economic, regulatory or business lens, it is far from a level playing field and for some, the mood is more positive. Institutions able to invest will find select opportunities to strengthen their competitive position and grow. Others will become smaller and less complex, focusing on core strengths and identifying innovative ways to serve their clients.
Technology is likely to be both an enabler and a differentiator across every part of the business.
With this, our first global banking outlook, we've focused on 2012 and 2013. This time frame will be crucial as banks not only react to short-term events but also try to move ahead of them to a future with sustainable revenues and costs.
We present a global view, drawing on macroeconomic and industry analysis, as well as a drill-down into some of the major developed and rapid-growth markets.

Thief sentenced for snatching money
Nine months' imprisonment was the sentence handed down to a man in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, who stole money from a service station attendant.
Charged with simple robbery is David Lawford.
The court heard that on Friday, January 18, 2014, about 11 a.m., the police responded to a call at a Shell service station on Hagley Park Road.
The complainant in the matter told the police that she was robbed of approximately $4,200 by the accused.
Lawford, who tried to escape, was nabbed by the complainant's co-worker and handed over to the police, who subsequently arrested and charged him.
Senior Resident Magistrate (RM) Judith Pusey was quite alarmed at the number of robbery charges to come to court and as a result told Lawford that he needed to be made an example of, despite pleas of leniency from his attorney.
The attorney explained that it was out of hunger that Lawford did what he had done; however, the Senior RM would hear none of it and ordered that he do nine months.

The director of his documentary also talks about the no stopping.
The film's director and stars break down the complex format.
He admits 'Torque' was his fault.
The movie about teens gangs fending off alien invaders on the streets of London was the hit of the festival.
What's it like playing opposite Jennifer Lawrence and a woodland creature puppet?
A compelling documentary about how Todd Willingham was charged and executed for the murder of this three children.
I made it a point to interview as many new filmmakers as I could at SXSW. You never know who's going to become the next big thing.
This Polish animated movie seems like it would be perfect for people who like Hentai. Personally, animated sex and bestiality don't do anything for me.
I can see it being the type of movie you discover at midnight and it becomes an inside joke with your friends.
A typical indie drama about unresolved feelings, yet it's entirely watchable and relatable.
The SXFantastic selection Cold Sweat is like The Wages of Fear crossed with Saw, with touches of The People Under the Stairs.
Exactly the kind of movie I hope to see at Fantastic Fest, or any film festival. Just a crazy creation by original artists who show up out of nowhere
It sure is pretty, but man, it's soooo boring.
First time diretor Brian Crano made a movie that holds up with Hollywood fare, so if his next idea is more ambitious he could have the chops.
I was not feeling the Christmas spirit on the SXSW Audience Award winning documentary.
I did not enjoy Kill List, and not because it's offensive or upsetting. It's because it's phony.

This trailer for SXSW favorite, A Bag Of Hammers, is dripping with offbeat. Like that towel your brother keeps under his bed.

Detention is the ultimate payoff for the meta movement.
Mario sported an ironic mustache before it was ironic.
It's watchable and relatable, still the "Boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl" formula.
I won't be watching Septien again, but I could recommend it if you're interested in film festivals and wondering what sort of movies are winning slots
Wan discusses the SXSW premiere of 'Insidious' and the films that have emerged since our last meeting.
A good campfire style horror movie. The scares are light and fun, not deep horrific terror.
It is an outstanding portrait of an artist that just lets us be in Conan's world, the one we don't get to see between late night episodes.
Follows the same plot as all "outrageous wedding" movies.
Paul is like all those comedies I used to like, the kind where they were just plain good.
It's darkly comical and it has something to say.

The Circle of fifths has a big importance in music theory.
What is The Circle of Fifths?
Some people call it The Circle of Fourths, The Cycle of Fifths or The Cycle of Fourths..anyway.
The Circle of Fifths tells you how many sharps or flats are in a given key. Actually, there are other purposes for the "The Circle of Fifths" like chord substitution or determining the best transition or move (modulation) to another key. But we won't go into that here. You can see the circle of fifths diagram below;
B is the same sounding scale as Cb, F# is the same sounding scale as Gb, C# is the same sounding scale as Db.
Below you can find the order of sharps and flats. You can see that the order of sharps is circle of fifths and the order of flats is circle of fourths.
No matter you play guitar, piano or any instrument, please just memorize these seven letters in order, that's it! Now you can easly find the number of sharps and flats in a given key.
For example, you need to know G key;
Start counting from F to G (F, C, G). Then don't count G and note before G this is C; G major key just have F#.
A ===> F, C , G, D, A ====> A has F#, C#, G#
D ===> F, C, G, D =====> D has F#, C#
It is easy, isn't it?
But there is an exeption. You should remember that F has Bb
What about flats;
You need to know Ab, again count but this time B to F direction.
Count until A and one more letter (B,E,A and D) so Ab has (Bb, Eb, Ab and Db)
Here another one Bb (B, and one more letter E) Bb has (Bb and Eb)
Try to fill above circle of fifth / forth chart.

Q & A with Landscape Photographer Guy Tal/
Since my earliest memory I always found inspiration in the wild. I used to explore the fields and abandoned orchards around my home for hours at a time until one day, for reasons I can't even remember, I decided to borrow my father's old Minolta on one of my forays. The memory of that experience is etched in my mind as one of the most transformational events...Read More

objects. Always check surroundings before moving vehicle.
No need to rely on roadmaps or smartphones having coverage. The HDD Satellite Navigation system in the Murano Ti will get you there. Complete with steering wheel controls, it comes with 3D mapping, showing clean, clear and simple graphics via a 7" colour display screen.
Integrated Traffic Monitoring also supplies live traffic updates directly to the navigation system, so if there's a delay or obstruction on your planned route, where possible, the navigation system will automatically re-plot an alternative route to help avoid the problem and keep you moving.
The Murano comes equipped with the Intelligent Key system and Push Button ignition. You
leave your key in your pocket or bag. You open the car door. You push the button. You drive
away. Simple. Like all good technology ought to be.

NFL sets salary cap at $123M; Vikings slightly above median in space
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The NFL finally has set its salary cap, and it's higher than previous projections suggested.
Agents were notified on Thursday night the cap will be $123 million -- up nearly 2% from $120.6 million in 2012, though still down from $127.997 million in 2009, the last capped year under the old collective-bargaining agreement.
The Vikings are just above the league median in cap space, according to sources with knowledge of the numbers. They're a little more than $14.2 million under their adjusted cap for 2013, pending any additional accounting before the league year begins on March 12.
They have about $118 million in current cap commitments to their "Top 51" and only $418,532 in dead money. They carried over a little more than $8 million in unused cap space from 2012 and have another $1.643 million credit from the Redskins/Cowboys penalties last year.
Releasing receiver Michael Jenkins before he's due a $2.425 million roster bonus on March 16 would clear another $3.25 million in cap space.
The Vikings also could pursue restructured contracts with defensive tackle Kevin Williams, cornerback Antoine Winfield and end Jared Allen, whose $17,063,956 cap number is one of the largest in the NFL.
