etnies Girl's New Music Search Winner!
Posted By etnies, Skip To The Comments (0)
Sep 14 2006 / Thursday
Congratulations to The Most Holy Trinity for winning etnies Girl's New Music Search! The band's song "Call the Doctor" will be on the soundtrack of our upcoming team DVD, which will be available starting Nov. 10 as a gift with purchase at select retail locations while supplies last. The Most Holy Trinity was formed after Trinity Toft (songwriter, vocals) and Charlie Duff (beats and programming) met through an Internet personals site in 2004. Although a romantic connection was not made, a love of music brought them together. Trinity had previously been in various musical projects in San Francisco and, after a stint as a backup dancer with the band Hey Willpower, she decided to continue on her own. Drawing from their mutual appreciation of pop, hip-hop, soul, electro, and rock and roll, the two began sending music back and forth from San Francisco to Arlington, Va., over the course of the next year. Charlie called upon his musical cohort, Paavo Steinkamp, who was in Miami, for additional production and the three of them channeled the divine force that gives breath to The Most Holy Trinity. The influences and inspiration of these three are all over the map. Aside from making tunes you can dance to, there wasn't any specific direction. With this freedom and willingness, a diverse collection of tracks was created. Some songs are reminiscent of Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, while some run in a completely different vein, like the song "Caffeine," which draws its influence from dancehall music. Other songs take listeners through a completely different type of futuristic, off-the-wall run that may even sound vintage to some. The Most Holy Trinity's first single, "The Gallery Is a Guillotine," will be released in fall 2006 on Brown Bottle Records. Their full-length debut album, "Rituals for Parting," will follow in the latter half of fall 2006.

About the Show
Documentary series that aims to show what it means to grow up in poverty in 21st-century Britain. In each episode, a wealthy family decides to assist one that is living below the poverty line.
Series 1 Summary
There are almost four million children living below the poverty line in the UK. The effects of growing up in poverty can last a lifetime: average life expectancy in the UK is 79; for someone growing up in poverty it is ten years less.
Made by the team behind The Secret Millionaire, How the Other Half Live aims to show just what it means to grow up in poverty in 21st-century Britain. Each episode follows the story of two families as a wealthy family decides to assist one that is living below the poverty line.
Each family hopes that their children will gain from the experience by understanding what life is like for others. The series raises important questions about how we respond to the poverty on our own doorsteps.
Episode 1
Grace, aged nine, leads an affluent life but learns how hard it is for Yolanda, aged ten, who lives on a council estate in Glasgow.
Episode 2
Continuing the series where a wealthy family decides to assist one living in poverty, Sam and Scott help out nine-year-old Brandon and his family from a deprived south east neighbourhood.
Episode 3
Half of all children in inner London live in poverty. Rosie and her family, who live in a mansion, decide to help Sam and his family, who could be evicted from their London council flat.

Hockey optimism was palpable as a 34-member Seattle delegation of sports, business and political leaders returned Thursday from a 24-hour trade mission north of the border.
They'd boarded a leased Seahawks team bus Wednesday for a trip to Vancouver, where they were given a tour of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, were toasted at a reception by a counterpart group from that city and took in a National Hockey League game between the Canucks and St. Louis Blues.
But the true purpose of the trip — organized by the Seattle Sports Commission and Tourism Vancouver — was to forge sports business relationships. And throughout it all, talk of the NHL coming to Seattle was prevalent.
"We learned a lot about the sport and a little bit about the relationship between Seattle and Vancouver,'' said King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn, who, like a handful in the delegation, had never been to an NHL game. "I think it got a lot of people on this trip thinking seriously about whether they want to bring a hockey franchise to Seattle and also whether we want to invest in the necessary infrastructure, like an arena.''

Most Read Stories
Arena talk seems certain to dominate much of the coming year if the NHL, as expected, issues a "letter of intent'' to award a franchise in coming weeks to one of three potential Seattle ownership groups. Sources have identified the three main candidates as groups headed by New York investment banker Ray Bartoszek, Chicago businessman Don Levin and the Steve Ballmer-Chris Hansen partnership formed back in 2012.
The Ballmer-Hansen duo is the wild card, since they united two years ago to build a SoDo arena that would house an NBA franchise. All eyes are on whether Ballmer-Hansen would consider becoming hockey owners in an arena where basketball might not happen for years.
Having Ballmer as a willing team owner would be a game-changer, given his Forbes ranking last year as the world's 21st-richest man with a personal fortune estimated at $18 billion.
The Michigan native has the money to grab the NHL's full attention and outbid his main competitors if he doesn't mind becoming a hockey owner first, in hopes of later luring an additional NBA franchise to his group's new arena. If not, the option remains for Ballmer-Hansen to build the arena and serve as landlords to an NHL franchise owned by Bartoszek, who is said to favor the downtown location.
The other option could see Levin, owner of the AHL Chicago Wolves, go ahead with his stated preference to build an arena in Bellevue and have a new franchise play there. Sources have said the Bellevue option is not dead yet and much will depend on the political climate in months ahead.
Many expect the NHL to award a letter of intent no later than June, at which time the league and chosen ownership group would hold a news conference announcing they plan to bring hockey to Seattle.
If a deal to build a new arena can be finalized within six months or so, the franchise would be theirs and arena construction could begin. Sources say a team could begin play by the 2015-16 season, but would almost certainly have to spend two years at 11,000-seat Key Arena first.
Results of an environmental-impact study on the Ballmer-Hansen arena proposal for SoDo are due next month, and findings could dictate the future for that project and the level of any NHL involvement by their group.
"Politically, I think the will is there,'' councilmember Dunn said. "Obviously, we need to find a franchise and that's an important one. But the other important tangible is that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. I've never seen the city as electric as it was. I think there might be an increased appetite for professional sports in Seattle.''
A handful of the business and political participants in this week's Seattle delegation to Vancouver have had involvement in the ongoing talks to make an NHL franchise here a reality.
They heard encouraging words at Wednesday's pre-game reception by Canucks chief operating officer Victor deBonis, who marveled at the relationship between Seattle's "12th Man'' football fans and the Seahawks.
King County councilmember Pete von Reichbauer said it was great seeing "12th Man'' signs still hanging in Vancouver and proving that sports can have a regional impact far beyond a city's borders.
Others making the trip included Seattle Port commissioner John Creighton and representatives from the Mariners, the Boeing Classic, Seattle University and various construction, transportation, hotel, financial and legal firms.
"Our goal was to get the dialogue going with people in Vancouver, and I think we certainly accomplished that,'' said Ralph Morton, executive director of the Seattle Sports Commission. "As for what comes of it, we'll have to see. But this was an important first step.''

1.2 Gathering Health Concerns and Other Information
1.2 Gathering Health Concerns and Other Information
Some types of information might be available from a site visit and other types of information would be gathered before or after a site visit.
Following are some types of information available from site visits:
Community health concerns. Information about health concerns in the
community is usually gathered at meetings held in association with site
visits, but meetings may be held throughout the public health assessment
The following types of information would be available from other sources:
Background and site history information is usually available in reports that are collected before or after the site visit.
Environmental contamination information is usually available in reports that are collected before or after the site visit, unless the community and environmental agencies are able to provide it at the time of the site visit.
Information contained in state databases about births, deaths, and diseases
in the community's population is usually gathered after the site visit.
Health assessors can capture details about the site effectively by using
the tools that are available for organizing information at the site, making
notes at the site, and taking photographs or videos. Upon returning from
a site visit, health assessors can present the information to several
coworkers and have an open discussion about the possible pathways. With
their help, the health assessor can compile a list of information that
might still be needed to complete the assessment.

Joe Paterno to Retire in Midst of Penn State ScandalKatherine Stone
On Monday, we told you all about the terrible child molestation scandal at Penn State involving the university's former coach Jerry Sandusky. We asked out loud why legendary coach Joe Paterno didn't do more to make sure the proper authorities were aware of allegations by a witness to one of the incidents, aside from informing the chain of command.
We weren't the only ones asking and as of this morning USA Today is reporting that Joe Pa, as he is affectionately known, has decided to retire at the end of the season.
Sports columnists and fans alike have started to question the leadership at Penn State for not doing more to protect the health and safety of the boys who were allegedly harmed by Jerry Sandusky. (To learn more about the scandal, click here.) While discussions were had about Sandusky's alleged behavior, no one at Penn State ever called the police, including Joe Paterno.
ABC News says that while the university's board of trustees was holding an emergency meeting last night on how to deal with the scandal, students rallied outside Paterno's house, chanting his name in support. He spoke to the crowd briefly and thanked them.
This is a sad way to leave such an incredible career. As outlined by USA Today, Joe Paterno is "… in his 46th season as coach of Penn State and his 409 victories are the most among major college coaches." There have been expectations for the last several years that he would retire soon because he is now 84 years old, but I'm sure going out on a low note was not his plan. Yet, he could have done something. He could have picked up the phone and called and helped stop the abuse.
Anonymous sources say the official announcement will come from Coach Paterno today.

ZF-4949: Incorrect handling of delegation to LiveJournal
I have delegated my site's (ciaranmcnulty.com) OpenID to my LiveJournal account with the following in the head of the html:
<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="http://ciaranmcnulty.livejournal.com/" />
<link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.livejournal.com/openid/server.bml" />
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://ciaranmcnulty.livejournal.com/" />
I used the example code from the reference guide to create a simple OpenID login page. However, the identity returned by the adapter varies:
- If I'm already authenticated with LiveJournal my identity is returned (correctly) as http://ciaranmcnulty.com
- If I am logged out of LiveJournal and need to authenticate, my identity is returned as http://ciaranmcnulty.livejournal.com
I believe it should be the same in both cases, i.e. delegation should be transparent to users of the adapter.
It may be that this is an error at the LJ end rather than in the component and I'm happy to report it to LJ if that is the case.
As an additional data point, I can log into another OpenID site (stackoverflow.com) with my ciaranmcnulty.com OpenID and it recognises me as ciaranmcnulty.com even if I've had to log in at LiveJournal.
Can you provide some bits of code that can better demonstrate the issue? I am inclined to say that the LJ implementation might be triggering the behavior you are seeing. If this is still an issue for you, please attach a reproduction case and reopen.

The Department of Surgery was selected as one of 13 centres nationally to undertake a multicentre trial of flexible sigmoidoscopy (local PI – Morton), and was completed in April 1999 (MRC/NHS). This study, published in 2010, has resulted in the sigmoidoscopy screening initiative launched by the NHS in spring 2011. 2. The Department was the National centre (PI Morton) for the APPROVe trial of COX2 inhibitors in colorectal adenoma prevention. The trial demonstrated the cardiotoxicity associated with targeted COX2 inhibitors, precluding their use in low-risk patients and the trial was terminated 6 months early in October 2004. This study was used to develop a unique bank of frozen tumour samples, which have been available for molecular studies on early colorectal tumourigenesis (Merck Sharpe and Dohme, MSD). 3. Awarded an HTA grant (June 2003 – co-applicant: joint with St Mark's Hospital) to evaluate the use of CT Colonography in a multicentre RCT, the SIGGAR1 Trial. The results have been submitted to the Lancet. Advanced Cancer and Surgical Trials As the National NCRI lead for colorectal cancer surgical trials, I have responsibility for all multicentre colorectal cancer surgical trials supported by the NCRI in the UK. 1. FOxTROT. I am the CI for this international study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced colon cancer which is randomising 1050 patients over the next two years (CTAAC). 2. I am a co-applicant and co-investigator for the following national multicentre RCTs; CReST, investigating the role of endoluminal stenting for obstructing CRC. TREC, investigating the role of organ preserving surgery for early rectal cancer. ARISTOTLE, investigating chemoradiotherapy in advanced rectal cancer. 3. I lead a regional collaborative with the surgical trainees (WMRC). This has established three multi-centre randomised clinical trials. One is in set up (ROCCS), one is open to recruitment (DREAMs) and one should complete recruitment this year (ROSSINi). ROSSINi has been funded by the NIHR and DREAMs by the BDRF. Translational Research Tumour Suppressor Genes on the Short arm of Chromosome 8 1. Interstitial deletion studies in prostate and colorectal cancer from the Department of Surgery have been completed and published (Int J Cancer 1996, Oncogene 1999). This demonstrated two novel localised tumour suppressor gene (TSG) regions. A collaborative study with the University Department of Cancer Studies and the School of Biology to map the 8p11.2 region (MRC fellowship) has been completed and a candidate tumour suppressor gene identified (Caldwell et al 2004). This work was funded by CRUK. 2. A Regional fellowship (New Blood) was awarded (2001) to support work on a functional polymorphism in the tumour suppressor gene we have identified. We have undertaken in situ hybridisation studies of the 8p12 region to further define the second TSG locus (Royal College of Surgeons fellowship). Alterations in Cell Adhesion and Signalling in Early Colorectal Tumourigenesis 1. A collaborative project with the Department of Medicine was established to investigate alterations in cell adhesion and the relationship with intracellular signalling through the APC/ß catenin complex. A Wellcome fellowship was awarded to support this work. 2. A second study of the frizzled receptor protein has been completed, which has identified a redirection of the wnt growth factor signal. This may be implicated in early tumour progression. This project was supported by two project grants from Cancer Research UK. 3. Biomarker studies. There are currently two post doctoral fellows working in the group on biomarker studies. One project is investigating novel diagnostic and predictive markers for colorectal cancer risk in patients with chronic colitis (UHB Charities). The second is investigating colorectal cancer screening using stool extracted DNA (Cancer Research UK). Research Networks I have initiated setting up of a research group for Surgical Trainees in the West Midlands (West Midlands Research Collaborative, WMRC); they are now fully functioning and have two prospective RCTs open for recruitment. The network has its own management team. The collaborative meets monthly to discuss new initiatives, ongoing projects and for talks from invited speakers. They present regularly at national meetings and to other groups wishing to join the collaborative. They hold an annual research day which is attended by over 100 registrars from the West Midlands region and around the UK. 1. ROSSINI – Reduction of Surgical Site Infection using a Novel Intervention; this NIHR RfPB funded trial commenced recruitment at UHB in January, and is open in 20 sites across the country. 2. DREAMs – Dexamethasone Reduces Emesis After Major Gastrointestinal Surgery. This has been funded by the BDRF and is opening its first centres in July 2011. A third RCT (ROCCS) has been funded and will open for a pilot phase in September 2011. The collaborative are also running three multicentre cohort studies looking at claustridium Difficile infection (CHARMs), Ethnicity and Breast cancer (CANOEs) and F1 competancies (SWIFT).

Commandment #8
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Exodus 20:15
"You shall not steal."
Hello guys and gals.
I forgot to tell you guys that my weigh in was day before yesterday. Drum roll please, I weighed in at 282.2. That is a 3.2 pound loss in one week. I am glad to see a decrease instead of an increase like last week. I took my measurements today, and I was 1/4 of inch smaller in my waist, 3/4 of inch smaller at my hips, 1/2 an inch smaller at my thighs, and a little over 1/2 an inch smaller in my arms. I guess you can say I lost 2 total inches, this week.
Yesterday was a long day. My wife had to take Asher to the doctor because of his temperature. They did chest x-rays, a blood draw, a catheter, and gave him a shot of medicine. That poor child was poked and prodded all over yesterday. Well the doctor seems to think that he has a virus. He is doing better tonight but it was a battle getting him to eat and drink. I hope that he is able to sleep tonight.
Commandment #8 "You shall not steal!" This is simple. Do not steal. If it does not belong to you then leave it alone. I had some things stolen from me in the past and it didn't just make me mad, it made me upset. How can someone take from someone else? I know of times that even us Christians steal. Sometimes without knowing it. How many times have you taken a pen after signing a receipt, or unintentionally walked out of a store without paying for something? Do you return them, or go back and pay for the item? If you don't you have broken commandment #8.
Lord I want to thank You for Your word and the guidance to bring this word to my friends. Lord I ask that You let us be mindful of all things that cause us to sin, and help us to improve on them. Lord I also ask that You would continue to give me the strength to keep exercising and eating right. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen

I hope Asher is well soon, too. This is a good lesson, and I agree with what
WALLAHALLA said about stealing someone's reputation. There are more ways than one to steal. I too have had looks of amazement when I returned to a store with an item I was not charged for, or when I pointed out incorrect change where the store would have lost money.
for your blog today. Blessings, Joanie

How many times have we stolen someones reputation or good name, by speaking out of anger, or repeating something we heard? Is that not also stealing?

I have had cashiers look at me like I am crazy when I tell them I received too much change. It's not mine. I cannot keep it

congrats on your weight loss and I agree with the 8Th commandment. If I accidently leave the store without paying I go back in and pay. Sometimes the cashier asked if I am crazy coming back in after getting away with it. I just smile and say this does not belong to me until it is paid for. It is the right thing to do. Have a great day and I hope Asher feels better soon.

Five Ways to Beat the Excruciating Summer Heat
Summer will be over in a couple of months. And not a moment too soon. It feels like Earth has a GPS system, and someone programmed its destination to be the center of the sun. Let's do some recalculating!
I bet Al Gore didn't grope that masseuse, but rather grabbed her in a "See? I told you so!" fashion. Whether man is responsible or not, this summer was hotter than any other. When Mr. Gore mentioned a "happy ending," I'm sure he was just talking about autumn.
I recently saw The Karate Kid remake simply to sit in air conditioning for what felt like 7 hours. I'm not exactly the "greenest" citizen in the country, but I do my part. Sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth, though. I tried to save energy once by shutting off the AC in my apartment for a day. After 30 minutes, I had lost twenty pounds and I looked like a Nick Nolte mugshot. So I happily welcomed back the CFCs.
New York City, where I live, has been especially unbearable. It's been scientifically proven that the two things that trap heat the most are pavement and homeless people. So the Big Apple is cooked. And no wonder why the Mets suck this year. What's the coolest place in the house? The cellar. So it makes sense why they want to get there fast. God speed, Mets. God speed.
The ghost of sunbaked past has a habit of haunting people who eat ginger with their sushi. In my neighborhood last week, I saw a redhead boy walk out from the shade and explode in thin air.* You probably didn't hear that story in the mainstream media, because if the media liked redheads, Conan would have a show and Ronald McDonald would have a better supporting cast. But it's true. Redhead kid...BOOM! It was very sad, but I'll say this...a shower of freckles looks like confetti, and that's super awesome. I ran through it and pretended I just won the World Series.
So how do we deal with it? Go to the beach and have a tar ball fight? Make some tar angels only to get up looking like a Louisiana pelican or Snooki in a hot tub? Beaches actually aren't a good choice, in my opinion. Laying out in the sun may be popular and fun for a while, but at some point you'll regret subjecting yourself. Think of it as Justin Bieber music or a night with Ben Roethlisberger.
Besides, beaches are scary. I find it ironic that visitor bureaus in the South are begging tourists to come back to the beaches...and then the Discovery Channel airs "Shark Week." It's like Iowa asking you to visit and then hearing AMC is having a "Children of the Corn" night. Or if someone asks you to a Rihanna concert and TBS puts on a Rocky marathon. Bad timing, Discovery. Let's show some class.
So...since I care for your well-being, I have compiled five tips on how to beat this excruciating heat.
1. Flip off the sun, but only after getting Lindsay Lohan to paint "FU" on your fingernails.
This won't help you beat the heat, but your misery may be reduced from 90 days to 14.
2. When at an airport, tell security you have a bomb in your pants...just to have an excuse to take your clothes off for ten minutes.
You may be asking, "But Keith, won't they charge me with lying to authorities?" Not if you put an M. Night Shyamalan movie in your drawers.
3. Eat ice cream.
Simple enough, but go hardcore if you can. A dessert vendor in Omaha sells what they call the "Brain Freeze." The "Permanent Brain Freeze" is also called the "Mel Gibson Special," but it's only served with vanilla.
4. Go to a grocery store's freezer section and just stand there with the doors open.
When a manager approaches, claim your last name is Favre and indecisiveness runs in the family. He should respect that.
5. Go to a movie theater, where it's always very chilly.
It's no wonder fans of the Twilight saga are so pale. They spend hours in theaters debating between Team Depression or Team Ab Flex; they don't realize they're slowly freezing. And all this time I thought they were just weird, blue-lip goth kids who'd rather play sports than eat dinner with their parents. Silly me.
Movies are a great place to go to escape the heat. I recently saw The Karate Kid remake simply to sit in air conditioning for what felt like 7 hours. It was way too long but decent. I heard it's a lot like Sex and the City, only with a lot less waxing on and waxing off. So I recommend it.
I hope those help. If they do, make sure to tell me so I can grab you Al Gore style and say, "See? I told you so!!"
*No redheads were harmed in the making of this article.
Funny stuff Keith.
Oh and not for nothing, but your Jeopardy bit on Letterman still tops one of the best ideas I have heard in a while.
Awesome stuff, large with the funny.
And for the record, Summer isn't here yet where I am- Still Winter here. Although due to the Paris-sized hole in the Ozone layer that opens up over here every Summer (thanks ever so much, Northern Hemisphere polluters!) we will be spending it huddled indoors lest the ferocious heat ignites us spontaneously like a whole nation of ginger kids. We'd go to our numerous beaches, but here in Oz, *every* week is Shark Week....
Monsoon here. Trade your sun for this rain.
Seoul is just as every bit as hot as NYC, but there isn't the NYC smell, which makes up for it. I'm guessing I've lost about fifteen pounds from the heat. My way to beat the heat? Show up to work an hour early just for the AC. I may not get paid for it, but at least I won't be late or all sweaty when the kids show up.

Cal-USC Postgame Notes
Related Links
Sept. 22, 2012
Recap | Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery
With today's 27-9 USC victory, the Trojans extended their winning streak over Cal to nine games.
Jeff Tedford's record is now 6-5 in conference openers. Today's game marked the fourth consecutive conference opener that the Golden Bears played on the road.
Today's game is the only regular-season contest that Cal will play on natural grass. In 2011, all but two of the Bears' games were played on natural grass.
With his 9 receptions on the day, Keenan Allen moved up to fourth all time at Cal in career receptions with 173. Brian Treggs, father of Cal freshman Bryce Treggs, is third on the list with 180 catches. Allen also cracked Cal's top 10 in career receiving yards. He posted 94 yards against USC to give him 2,143 yards for his career, which ranks ninth in school history. Allen passed both Steve Rivera (2,085, 1973-75) and Sean Dawkins (2,124, 1990-92) today.
Keenan Allen extended his streak of consecutive games with a reception to 28 - every game he's played in at Cal. Heading into today's action, the streak ranked tied for eighth nationally and tied for first in the Pac-12.
Marc Anthony set a career high with 13 tackles. He entered the game with a best of 10 at Oregon State in 2010. The 13 sets a season best for a Cal player this year, ahead of Steve Williams, Josh Hill and Robert Mullins, who all had 12 stops in the opener vs. Nevada.
Steve Williams became Cal's active leader in interceptions with the fifth of his career on the first drive of the game. It was his second of the season. J.P. Hurrell secured his first career interception on a tipped pass with four minutes remaining in the first half.
Cal's active career leader in tackles for loss, Deandre Coleman, secured his 12th career tackle for loss.
For the second time in his career, Vincenzo D'Amato made three field goals (also vs. Southern Utah, Sept. 8, 2012). He was 3-for-4 on the day.
Jacob Wark had a personal-best 26 yards receiving on two catches, second to Allen among the Bears.

OK Go releases cool new game app, "Say the Same Thing"
Since the early 00′s, Chicago's OK Go has explored ingenious, cost-efficient ways of promoting its music, including its highly choreographed but dirt-cheap videos for "A Million Ways" and "Here It Goes Again," and its Rube Goldberg contraption video for "This Too Shall Pass." Now, the band is launching a mobile-app game, one that looks like it could take off faster than an indie-rock band on runaway treadmills.
OK Go guitarist and keyboardist Andy Ross designed "Say the Same Thing," in which two players say different words, and then try to say the word that links those two words. For instance, if one person says "car" and another says "cheeseburger," then they try to say "drive through" at the same time. OK Go's mobile app allows people to play this game on their Apple or Android devices.
"The game is similar to an old improv game that I used to play in person with friends from high school and college," Ross said in a press statement. "We started playing it as a band because it's the kind of thing people in vans and buses do, and it's great to play with people you know really well."
As expected, the band's chief strategists, Damian Kulash and Timothy Nordwind, star in a video explaining both the low-tech version of the game the band plays when they're together, along with the mobile, high-tech version.
One of the most unusual aspects of "Say the Same Thing" is that the band is not trying to leverage the game as a promotion for OK Go's music. While the group recently released a new single, "I'm Not Through," the app is a stand-alone project.
"We figured: if it's so much fun for us, others will like it, too," Ross said. "So it's not a 'fan app' or a promotional thing; there's nothing about the band's music or videos or shows involved. The only connection is that it's a way of creating a fun experience for people. In that way, writing a game is a lot like writing a song."

Dallas Buyers Club Screenwriter Cashing In For John D. Rockefeller Biopic
By Nick Venable 2014-02-12 05:37:51 comments
Screenwriter Craig Borten knows a little something about success, as his first produced screenplay for Jean-Marc Vallées Dallas Buyers Club, co-written with Melisa Wallack, has earned him worldwide acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. For his next film, hell be taking on another biographical tale for the monolithic story of John D. Rockefeller, as hell be adapting Ron Chernows 1998 book Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, which Relativity has recently optioned. Theres nothing that keeps me more humble than watching millionaires making money playing billionaires.
As Deadline states, directorial duties for this project have been given to Lasse Hallström, the Swedish filmmaker whose early career and eventual breakout film Whats Eating Gilbert Grape are immensely more interesting than his last few English flicks, which include the two Nicholas Sparks adaptations Safe Haven and Dear John, as well as 2011s touching but arguably non-memorable Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. My theory is, Hallströms got a lot of material to work with here, so the subject matter should be interesting even if the camera work isnt overwhelmingly exciting. He recently wrapped the production of the interesting (and equally frothy feel-good) drama The Hundred-Foot Journey with Helen Mirren.
Chernows book is the first Rockefeller biography written with full access to the moguls huge collection of personal papers. Having come from meager beginnings, Rockefeller rose to the greatest height of any American at the time as the founder of Standard Oil, which monopolized the market and made its owner the very first billionaire. While he is often remembered for his unlawful tactics and backroom dealings, Titan is not a tabloid work that seeks to throw the man under a bus. Its a humanized story that touches upon his religious upbringing and his eventual turn to philanthropy, which saw him giving away much of his fortune through scholarships and other educational funding.
I suppose there are two questions to be asked at this point. One: considering it took Bortens Dallas Buyers Club twenty years to make it from his first draft to the screen, are we ever going to see this Rockefeller pic come out during our lifetimes? And two: do you think Matthew McConaughey or Daniel Day Lewis is going to get the part? Im betting on the latter.
Theres no word on whether theyre looking to make this Hallströms next project or not, but well keep an eye out for cascading dollar signs. If youre so inclined, check out a short biography on Rockefeller below.

Turned out the problem was with the MFG web site and not Offers.com. Turned out OK.
lenovolover commented on 6/27/15
I just bought a new Lenovo laptop for my wife since I've had Lenovo products before and love them. I do NOT love the laptop. They changed the keyboard and shifted it to the left, and the mouse controls at the bottom are terrible. I've had several Thinkpads and they had the best keyboards in the world. Why did they mess with success? I'd think twice about buying another Lenovo and might stick with my Toshiba

after you click for the deal the coupon thing pops up, click to "reveal code" at that point another tab will open up and you click the copy code. above that you'll see the LENEVO outlined in blue and click that. Another tab will open and give you three models to pick from. Pick the one thats $149 as the coupon said then follow the directions. It's crazy to make someone do that and have to figure it out, but good luck! The deal is there and genuine if you want to work for it.

World of Warcraft: Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, by Christie Golden
"Arthas: Rise of the Lich King" feels like it should be the best of all the Warcraft books published so far. Golden has a lot to work with: the previous Warcraft books, all the Warcraft games and expansions, and the multitude of lore and history that exists. But there's a feeling I'm always left with after finishing this book – a feeling that *something* is missing.
The novel is the story of Arthas Menethil, heir to the throne of Lordaeron; a bright boy with a promising future. But instead of becoming a wise king and faithful paladin, Arthas will fall into the dark and icy deep and rise as the Lich King. The book starts out well enough, with Golden tying many of the scenes into other published Warcraft novels and game history. Arthas is established as a boy desperate to do the right thing, eager for his father's approval, and to be his own person. He makes a misguided vow to do whatever necessary to protect his people, one that he holds to at all costs. Golden is good at writing misguided characters, ones that start with noble intentions that disintegrate – it seems to be her forte; she's done this in the other Warcraft books she's authored.
But I feel something is missing from "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King." For me, Arthas' fall is too fast. There isn't enough believability in his fall from grace – while all Warcraft players know that he becomes evil, Golden doesn't do a good enough job of making it a realistic journey. The third section of the book also glosses greatly over many important events; barely mentioning some and forgetting others all together. The end comes far too quickly. In my opinion the third section is very lacking; it could have used more detail, length, and coverage of important Warcraft events.
Fans of the game will appreciate the little touches Golden puts in, such as Arthas' anger being described often as righteous fury, a spell paladins have. Or the smell of peacebloom, a common herb in the game. "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King" also features Jaina Proudmoore, Kael'thas Sunstrider, and Sylvanas Windrunner, all legendary figures in their own right.
"Arthas: Rise of the Lich King" was the first Warcraft book to be published in hardcover, and while I did splurge and purchase it in hardcover, I feel $25 is a bit much for this book. Only buy it if you have a good coupon, or wait for the paperback. It's too short for my tastes, and isn't long enough to be worth that much, frankly. I was very excited when this book was published, and I couldn't wait to read it, and I do enjoy rereading it, but I just wish there was more too it. I always feel a bit blah at the end, and I wish I didn't feel that way.

Wireless Ethernet LAN (WLAN) FAQs
General FAQ for 802.11a/802.11b/802.11g
Q: What is a Wireless LAN (WLAN)?
A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to or as an alternative for, a wired LAN.
Q: What are the benefits of using a WLAN instead of a wired network connection?
• Increased Productivity - WLAN provides ""untethered"" network and Internet access.
• Fast and Simple Network Set-up - There are no cables to install at a users desk or work area.
• Installation Flexibility - WLANs can be installed in places where wires can't, and they facilitate temporary set-up and relocation.
• Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - Wireless LANS reduce installation costs because there is no cabling; as a result, savings are greatest in frequently changing environments.
• Scalability - Network expansion and reconfiguration may be less complicated than expanding a wired network.
Q: Are Intel WLAN products interoperable with other product brands?
A: Yes. Intel WLAN products are compatible with products from different vendors employing the same technology (i.e., IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g); Choosing products that are Wi-Fi* certified will help insure compatibilityQ: What is Wi-Fi*?A: Wi-Fi* is the trademarked name that the Wi-Fi Alliance uses to signify WLAN product interoperability. The name stands for ""wireless fidelity."" Wi-Fi Alliance performs elaborate tests on WLAN products and those that pass the tests are awarded the Wi-Fi logo.

text: Ok so im probable sure i can answer this question my self but i figured it was time to turn to people with real experience. Basically this is my first try at growing and my girl is around 2' tall with many branchs, problem is is that the buds are Very small, almost as though they are not there ! This grow started with 70 watts of light from Flurecent tubes and has now gone on to CFL's only a total of 5 producing arouns 8k lumens (i know not enough) i have them setup so 3 are on the sides and 2 on top. For this grow i used some Nutrients but i cant say for sure not enough, even though the plant grew strong but bud production is almost nothing. Ill try get some pictures up tonight but im pretty sure its a little late im about 8+ weeks into flower.

Is this easy to do? I've got a Motobecane Messenger and instead of the orange frame and black parts combination, I think I'd like it better if it was orange and silver/chrome.
The parts that are black that I want to change are the cranks, stem, and seatpost. Could I do this with something like airplane stripper? Will I need to coat it with anything else? Will it even be silver under?

Signed last summer by Club Atlético de Madrid after one successful season with SC Braga, which brought him international honours with Portugal and a runners-up medal in the UEFA Europa League, Sílvio is an industrious full-back who likes to break forward at every opportunity.
• Started his career in the youth set-up at SL Benfica but did not graduate to senior status at the club, instead making his professional debut in Portugal's lower leagues with Atlético Cacém and Odivelas FC.
• Joined top-flight Rio Ave FC in 2008 and made his Liga bow against Benfica on 24 August 2008; appeared in 45 Liga matches in two seasons for the northern outfit but failed to score.
• Left for Braga in summer 2010, making his debut as a half-time substitute in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off against Sevilla FC.
• Played every minute of the Arsenalistas' run to the 2011 UEFA Europa League final (round of 32 onwards) after they dropped into the competition from the UEFA Champions League.
• Scored on his Liga debut for Braga – in a 1-0 home win against CS Marítimo on 29 August 2010 − and earned his first cap for Portugal nine days later in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier against Norway in Oslo.
• A bit-part player for Atlético in 2011/12, he missed the last two months of the season, and the build-up to the UEFA European Championship, after undergoing surgery to resolve a troublesome knee injury

Learning the language of observations
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:17 AM
I'm guessing that learning to sketch also helps one learn and I intend to explore that at some point as well but right now am thinking more about the language.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:33 AM
There are lots more helpful pdfs here:
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:21 AM
The Web, while being free and accessible, is also the resource cluttered by the most noise. Much of what's on the Web is either an umpteenth rehashing of information that, along the way, has lost much of its accuracy or, even worse, is just plain wrong. The good news is that, if one is willing to invest a little time in reading articles and books written by knowledgeable observers, it doesn't take long to develop an ability to sift the wheat from the chaff. There are many excellent Web sites offering accurate information and useful advice, including several published by regular contributors to Cloudy Nights.
If there is an astronomy club in your area, I'd encourage you to visit their next meeting. Talking with other amateurs is a great way to learn how the language is used. Conversations--both in person and online--offer opportunities to ask questions of knowledgeable folks. They also reveal that astronomy, as a subject, is so vast that it's practically impossible for one person to be expertly-versed in all aspects of the science or hobby. There is always something new to learn. And along with new topics of discussion comes new jargon to help us communicate.
Who knows, perhaps you or someone you know will someday coin a phrase that expands the language of amateur astronomy.

I did meet some of the folks from the St. Louis Astronomical Society at a recent star party that happened to be planned at my nieces' school, a happy coincidence and I met a couple of very knowledgeable folks there!
I've had a blog since 2003 and have decided to redirect it from it's previous focus of homesteading and permaculture to my current exploration of astronomy. Here's the most recent post, based on my question above. I'll be adding more as I document and learn: http://ourtomorrow.b...asic-skills-...

So make up your own language of observations, create a few new ones.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 08:42 AM
Don't think anyone suggested star dust or unicorn sprinkles though the latter might be taken the wrong way.
Funny thing, we jokingly refer to Capella as the Disco star . How do we go about getting that one officially renamed?
I've also found a few personal observation logs online and have read through their descriptions... FirstSight is correct... all of his suggested words are used often.

Posted 02 December 2012 - 07:37 PM
I've been doing this 45 years and I just sort of evolved in my note taking. I can't really say how I picked up the language. It just happened over time. I never really cared how scientific or compliant it was with anything, they were my own words so I've always been happy with them. Over the decades the words I use have sort-of fallen in line with others, to a point. I still don't worry too much about it.
My descriptions appear every month in the Las Vegas Astronomical Society Observer's Challenge and they don't seem out of place with anyone else's that I can see. It wasn't because I was trying to comply with a standard though.
I wouldn't worry about it. Just go with the flow and let your language develop over time. It will come out in the wash. If it's English, people will understand it, at least here in the U.S. and anywhere else where they speak it!

We propose a constructive framework for distributed lossless source coding of two binary sources that have arbitrary correlation structures (Figure 1), i.e., not just symmetric correlation structures of the form of Y = X + N where X and N are independent. Our proposed framework accommodates the important special case of the absence of any correlation between the two sources, wherein it becomes an entropy coding scheme for a single source (Figure 2). This framework is obtained by combining Low-density parity check (LDPC) codes with the distributed source coding using syndromes (DISCUS) framework of [1]. This combined algorithm is powerful enough to reach the Slepian-Wolf bound for two memoryless binary sources and the entropy rate for a single memoryless binary source.
Figure 1: Block diagram of symmetric DISCUS. Two sources are compressed independently and reconstructed at the receiver.
Figure 2: Symmetric DISCUS construction used for lossless coding, or in the special case of zero correlation between sources.
