Necklace: Forever 21 Pastel Draped Necklace - $6.80 (similar - 40% off this weekend!)
I've had this dress sitting in my closet for almost a month and am just now getting around to wearing it. Why? I couldn't figure out the right shoes. #fashiongirlproblems right? I tried on almost every pair of shoes from my collection, and just when I was about to give up after creating nearly a knee-high pile of rejected shoe, I saw these six-inchers staring at me from the corner. I never would've thought that such clunky platforms would go with such a light girly dress, but maybe it was just this contrast of styles that made these shoes work. What do you think?

Hey =) My name is Christine. Music is my love. It keeps me grounded and helps me push forward through the rough patches in life. Songs are what motivate me and give me that sense of happiness when everything else seems to be going wrong. Concerts are my escape from reality and I absolutely love the rush I get from them.
There's tons of stuff I want to do in this lifetime and I hope to make the most out of it. I love to travel, see the world, love learning new languages, discovering new bands, and rocking out at concerts!!
I am one of the most die-hard BFMV fans you will ever meet xD I love them like crazy! I adore everything about them =) No one can ever understand how much I fucking love that band....

BUFFALO, NY - The Buffalo Fire Department battled a large house fire on the city's west side Friday.
Firefighters were called to 418 Busti Avenue just after 1 p.m. The 2-1/2 story home suffered $26,000 in damage.
A neighboring house suffered about $5,000 in damage to the exterior.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but fire officials say the house was full of debris. The residents were not home at the time, but a dog died in the fire.
The Red Cross is assisting two adults and one child who lived in the home.

Read this information carefully before you take OxyContin® (ox-e-CON-tin) tablets. Also read the information you get with your refills. There may be something new. This information does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. Only you and your doctor can decide if OxyContin is right for you. Share the important information in this leaflet with members of your household.
What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About OxyContin®?
- Use OxyContin the way your doctor tells you to.
- Use OxyContin only for the condition for which it was prescribed.
- OxyContin is not for occasional ("as needed") use.
- Swallow the tablets whole. Do not break, crush, dissolve, or chew them before swallowing. OxyContin® works properly over 12 hours only when swallowed whole. If a tablet is broken, crushed, dissolved, or chewed, the entire 12 hour dose will be absorbed into your body all at once. This can be dangerous, causing an overdose, and possibly death.
- Keep OxyContin® out of the reach of children. Accidental overdose by a child is dangerous and may result in death.
- Prevent theft and misuse. OxyContin contains a narcotic painkiller that can be a target for people who abuse prescription medicines. Therefore, keep your tablets in a secure place, to protect them from theft. Never give them to anyone else. Selling or giving away this medicine is dangerous and against the law.
What is OxyContin®?
OxyContin® is a tablet that comes in several strengths and contains the medicine oxycodone (ox-e-KOE-done). This medicine is a painkiller like morphine. OxyContin treats moderate to severe pain that is expected to last for an extended period of time. Use OxyContin regularly during treatment. It contains enough medicine to last for up to twelve hours.
Who Should Not Take OxyContin®?
- your doctor did not prescribe OxyContin® for you.
- your pain is mild or will go away in a few days.
- your pain can be controlled by occasional use of other painkillers.
- you have severe asthma or severe lung problems.
- you have had a severe allergic reaction to codeine, hydrocodone, dihydrocodeine, or oxycodone (such as Tylox, Tylenol with Codeine, or Vicodin). A severe allergic reaction includes a severe rash, hives, breathing problems, or dizziness.
- you had surgery less than 12 - 24 hours ago and you were not taking OxyContin just before surgery.
Do not take OxyContin® if
Your doctor should know about all your medical conditions before deciding if OxyContin is right for you and what dose is best. Tell your doctor about all of your medical problems, especially the ones listed below:
- trouble breathing or lung problems
- head injury
- liver or kidney problems
- adrenal gland problems, such as Addison's disease
- convulsions or seizures
- alcoholism
- hallucinations or other severe mental problems
- past or present substance abuse or drug addiction
If any of these conditions apply to you, and you haven't told your doctor, then you should tell your doctor before taking OxyContin.
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, talk with your doctor. OxyContin may not be right for you. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding. OxyContin will pass through the milk and may harm the baby.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. They may cause serious medical problems when taken with OxyContin, especially if they cause drowsiness.
How Should I Take OxyContin®?
- Follow your doctor's directions exactly. Your doctor may change your dose based on your reactions to the medicine. Do not change your dose unless your doctor tells you to change it. Do not take OxyContin more often than prescribed.
- Swallow the tablets whole. Do not break, crush, dissolve, or chew before swallowing. If the tablets are not whole, your body will absorb too much medicine at one time. This can lead to serious problems, including overdose and death.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once unless your doctor tells you to.
- In case of overdose, call your local emergency number or Poison Control Center right away.
- Review your pain regularly with your doctor to determine if you still need OxyContin.
- You may see tablets in your stools (bowel movements). Do not be concerned. Your body has already absorbed the medicine.
If you continue to have pain or bothersome side effects, call your doctor.
Stopping OxyContin. Consult your doctor for instructions on how to stop this medicine slowly to avoid uncomfortable symptoms. You should not stop taking OxyContin all at once if you have been taking it for more than a few days.After you stop taking OxyContin, flush the unused tablets down the toilet.
What Should I Avoid While Taking OxyContin®?
- Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or participate in any other possibly dangerous activities until you know how you react to this medicine. OxyContin can make you sleepy.
- Do not drink alcohol while using OxyContin. It may increase the chance of getting dangerous side effects.
- Do not take other medicines without your doctor's approval. Other medicines include prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and supplements. Be especially careful about products that make you sleepy.
What are the Possible Side Effects of OxyContin®?
- your breathing slows down
- you feel faint, dizzy, confused, or have any other unusual symptoms
Call your doctor or get medical help right away if
Some of the common side effects of OxyContin® are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, constipation, itching, dry mouth, sweating, weakness, and headache. Some of these side effects may decrease with continued use.
There is a risk of abuse or addiction with narcotic painkillers. If you have abused drugs in the past, you may have a higher chance of developing abuse or addiction again while using OxyContin.
These are not all the possible side effects of OxyContin. For a complete list, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
General Advice About OxyContin
- Do not use OxyContin for conditions for which it was not prescribed.
- Do not give OxyContin to other people, even if they have the same symptoms you have. Sharing is illegal and may cause severe medical problems, including death.
This leaflet summarizes the most important information about OxyContin. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. Also, you can ask your pharmacist or doctor for information about OxyContin that is written for health professionals.

Google gives £3m to projects for social good
The £3m Impact Challenge Awards raise the bar again
GOOGLE HAS ANNOUNCED the UK winners of this years £3m Google Impact Challenge Awards, the campaign that funds initiatives using technology to make a positive difference in lives and the community.
At an awards ceremony at Google's London offices on Thursday, the ten finalists were given a minute each to pitch their ideas followed by cross examination from a panel of judges including Dragon's Den entrepreneur Peter Jones, broadcaster and Comic Relief director Emma Freud and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, along with senior representatives from Google and Nesta.
Before the announcement, Jimmy Wales said, "There's not many more fun ways to spend an afternoon than giving away huge gobs of Google's money."
The group of finalists were surprised as the winners were revealed in a live satellite link to Richard Branson from Necker Island. The winners were Centrepoint, which will use big data to look into ways of beating youth homelessness, the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew with a wearable that can detect mosquitos and analyse their sound to warn if they carry disease, and Wefarm, which plans to set up a peer-to-peer communication service to help farmers swap ideas and information, even on the most basic of mobile equipment.
In addition to the judging panel, the Impact Challenge website has been taking public votes, giving the whole affair a hint of X Factor glamour, and possibly making Google's UK head of public relations and host for the day, Stephen Rosenthal, Google's equivalent of Dermot O'Leary.
The public vote was won by the Royal National Institute for the Blind, whose smart glasses magnify the remaining vision of the wearer to allow them to see.
The four winners receive £500,000, while all the finalists receive funding to the tune of £200,000 as well as mentoring from Google and partners including Nesta.
Head of Google.org Jaqueline Fuller said, "The UK has raised the bar on the quality of the pitches and the quality of the projects."
The other finalists were Relate, The Virunga Foundation, Catch 22, Carr Gomm, We Are What We Do, and St Giles' Trust. µ

it's possible to use an external imap backend instead of the internal zimbra backend?
I want to use Zimbra (if it's posssible) to substitute a Horde Webmail. In this case, the Horde Webmail is just the front end to the user, and connect to the mailbox of the user using IMAP. It's possible to tell the Zimbra that the mailbox is in a external account?
Migrate the full mail service to Zimbra is not an option in this case. The SMTP/POP/IMAP backend must continue in the actual servers.
Best regards

Bills pending in the Michigan and Washington state legislatures would mandate that personal information stored in business computers be "encrypted.†Legislatures are unwise to engage in such micro-management.
Pending Michigan Senate Bill (SB) 1022 would forbid a business from storing personally identifiable information in a database unless the information is encrypted. Similarly, in Washington State, pending House Bill (HB) 2574 would mandate that a business employ encryption when storing personal information on an Internet-connected computer server.
When a legislature specifies a technology like "encryption,†it goes beyond stating a goal and requiring that the goal be met. The legislature selects the precise technical means for reaching the goal. In other words, when a legislature dictates technical measures like "encryption,†it assumes the role of a professional engineer. But state legislatures are not qualified to provide professional engineering services!
Encryption is a powerful data security tool. But it is not necessarily always the best way to achieve a data security goal. The successful implementation of encryption in a specific setting involves many issues and trade offs. For example, a panel of security experts recently pointed out that the encryption of data in storage (as opposed to data in transit) raises vexing questions about the key infrastructure that underpins the encryption. When an enterprise encrypts lots of its stored data, a hacker has incentive to attack the encryption scheme's key infrastructure. If the hacker can defeat the key infrastructure, she can deny the enterprise access to its data. That means the hacker can put the enterprise out of business, or blackmail the enterprise. Thus, the indiscriminate use of encryption may increase the overall social risk associated with stored private data.
Data security is a complex field of engineering. State legislatures should steer clear of it.
In 1995 the Utah legislature adopted pioneering legislation to stimulate growth of public key infrastructure. The legislature received lots of detailed advice from experts. The legislature crafted legislation that was very technically specific. At the time, and for several years thereafter, some experts hailed the Utah legislation as a model and as a great catalyst for e-commerce. However, it is safe to say today that the Utah Digital Signature Act of 1995 was an absolute bust. It achieved none of its goals. It was far too technically specific to be of any value to industry.
The Michigan and Washington legislatures should remember the Utah experience as they draft legislation. A wise legislature might require, for example, that businesses use "reasonable security procedures†(a general goal) rather than that they use "encryption†(a specific technology).

Giving is good and giving is easy, and any man with a high enough credit limit and a little imagination can put Oprah to shame. Receiving gifts, however, can be tricky, and unless you know what you want up front and you're up-front about it, you should brace yourself for another raft of stuff you don't want or need. Say, for example, that you've been in the market for some new luggage, an enviable piece of business like this leather-and-ballistic-nylon suitcase from Tumi's new Townhouse collection, the first since men's-wear designer David Chu became creative director. All you have to do is ask for it, or for any of the other gift ideas on the following pages, and you might just get it. Revolutionary? Nah. Selfish? A little. Smart? You bet.
Suitcases (from $2,595) by Tumi; cashmere V-neck sweater ($100) by H&M; cotton shirt ($150) by Pringle 1815; silk tie ($125) by Façonnable; sneakers ($75) by Adidas Originals; cashmere sweater ($130) by Uniqlo.

Michael Haneke Gets the Last Laugh: The "Funny Games" Interview
Austrian writer/director Michael Haneke (pronounced 'hanakkuh') has remade his own controversial 1997 film, in which he effectively mocked American cinema's love for violence by pushing the limits of cinematic sado-masochism with an excruciating thriller that sticks to a standard formula, albeit with a different kind of ending. Because the original movie was in German, it was not widely seen by its target audience--namely the callused American audiences that Haneke believed could benefit from having their blood-thirsty asses handed to them like never before. I loathed the original film when I saw it at the 1997 San Francisco Film Festival, but have reconsidered it over the years and come around to appreciating its brutal satire, unrelenting misery and, surprisingly, its restraint. The new version is every bit as painful to watch, even if executive producer/actress Naomi Watts doesn't approach the soul-shattered performance of Susanne Lothar in the original. I think both versions of "Funny Games" equally represent the most indigestible and unsettling fictional film I've ever seen. To put it in the words of the director, "It's a film you come to if you need to see it. If you don't need this movie, you will walk out before it's over."
I sat down with Michael Haneke and a translator at the Lowes Regency Hotel in Midtown Manhattan to talk about "Funny Games."
MH: If anything masochistic. To decide to film a movie again shot by shot, you must be masochistic to a certain degree because it is a much greater challenge. If you do an original film and you want to cut a scene out you do it. But when you do a shot by shot remake you don't have that option and every scene has to work again.
CS: Why did you make the decision to remake "Funny Games" shot by shot?
MH: I didn't have to add anything and if I was going to change anything I thought it would have been dishonorable. It became a gamble to myself whether I was able to do the exact same film under very different circumstances.
CS: I understand one of the main conditions you gave to English producers for the remake was to have Naomi Watts. Why her?
MH: I did the same with "The Piano Teacher." I would only do it if Isabelle Huppert takes the lead role. Naomi has the necessary vulnerability to do this role ideally. I had seen her movies and she was fantastic.
CS: What was your biggest casting challenge?
MH: I just wanted them to be good for the role. I was looking for someone that looked similar--one blond hair, one black hair--to the actors in the same movie, but then I realized it wasn't important. I think they are really good in their roles.
CS: Your age, your experience is different now than ten years ago. What has changed for you in those ten years as far as approaching this subject?
MH: If I had done the movie for the first time now, I would have cut it differently. But since I made the conscious decision of doing it shot by shot, that wasn't even an option. It is true that my experience is different, and I would like to have done some things in a different way now, but I couldn't. If you go with the principle, you should go with the principle. If I really saw the subject very differently than ten years ago, I would have done a different movie.
CS: Did you have to work differently with English actors?
MH: The main difference was the language, and that made it more difficult. In German. I'm more sensitized to the details, to the emotions. In English, I wouldn't detect as much nuance. So we had a dialect coach. But the process is slower.
CS: There is a kind of formalism in your compositions that connects to Polanski and to Kubrick. Who are the filmmakers that inspired you aesthetically?
MH: Of course I am a child of European culture. There are a number of great directors from which I learned, but there is nobody in particular I got inspired from.
CS: Do you consider yourself a confrontational filmmaker?
MH: Of course this film is a provocation. It is meant as a provocation, and of course all the rules that make the viewer go home happy are broken in my film. You cannot hurt animals, so what do I do? I kill the dog first. Then I do it with the boy. You're not supposed to break the illusion of this being a film, so I make the actor talk to the audience. Provocation is the principle of the whole film. It is very ironic.
CS: Is there any true story that inspired you to make this movie?
MH: In my film "Benny's Video," I depicted violence but I failed to say all that I had to say, so I wanted to continue the dialog and that's why I did "Funny Games." The irony is that after I shot "Funny Games," but it hadn't been released at all anywhere, there was a newspaper story about two boys in Spain who kidnapped a man in the street and tortured him to death. Both of them wore white gloves, and when they were asked in prison if they felt any remorse, one of the two wrote an essay saying "no." He quoted Nietzsche all the time, and said that the guy they killed was a third class individual who didn't deserve to live.
CS: This film is an experiment, are you planning to do another one?
MH: I consider all my films an experiment, at least in my mind. Caché is as much an experiment as "Funny Games."
CS: What is your next film about?
MH: It is going to be a very simple film--a historical film that happens before the first World War. It is about education in Germany that gave rise to the Nazis.
CS: Could you talk about the use of clashing music in "Funny Games"?
MH: This film is a parody of classical thrillers, just as the John Zorn piece is a parody of heavy metal [music]. In my movies I never use soundtrack; it is always part of the story. The John Zorn piece comes under the credits, but it is like saying, "Okay, now we are going to the thriller."

Pretty good. I noticed the W is great even though the you had to turn the angels backwards. It works, though. My only problem would be the poles; they seem too slender, considering the boldness of the rest of the logo.

Ben Affleck had an incident with the paparazzi on Friday, an incident in which he got angry and yelled at photographers who were getting too close to him and his daughter, Seraphina, while he was picking her up from preschool.
At one point Ben stuck out his leg to indicate a safe distance at which the photographers should stay. He allegedly did not kick anyone, and reports state that the paparazzi were yelling at his four year old daughter, as they often do with children and anyone they're targeting, when Ben's paternal instinct kicked in.

The false assumption in both anti-utilitarian defenses of the humanities and pessimistic predictions of their extinction is that we have to choose between a credentializing and a humanizing view of higher education, between vocational utility and high-minded study as an end in itself. This either/or way of thinking about the humanities — either they exist solely for their own sake or they have no justification at all – is a trap that leaves humanists unable to argue for the value of their work in terms of the practical skills it teaches, an argument that inevitably has to be made in the changing marketplace of higher education. In fact, we would argue there is no defense of the humanities that is not ultimately based on the useful skills it teaches.
@ insidehighered.com
One Response to "Defending the humanities"
To go along with this, the book Academically Adrift (here's an excerpt from NPR), which came out last year, argues, by use of a massive study, that students who major in traditional liberal arts majors like philosophy and literature tend to improve critical thinking, reading, and writing skills at drastically higher rates over the course of their undergraduate careers than those who choose career-oriented majors like business. I by no means endorse everything the book has to offer–it contains a really half-baked argument against collaborative learning, for example, which only reveals the authors' ignorance of what constitutes collaborative learning, and its authors fall into the slippery slope mode of thinking they have identified some irreversible and catastrophic crisis in higher ed a little too often. Still, it does provide some provocative evidence to show how certain kinds of learning aren't really happen in college, implying that the erosion of the humanist tradition of education might be connected.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Beautiful Autumn Landscape, signed Robt. Wood, lower left, in an exquisite ornate gold leaf frame. Both painting and frame in excellent condition. Painting could be cleaned, or left as found from the estate, it looks good. Canvas measures: 28.25 x 36". Frame measures: 36" x 45"
Robert William Wood (1889 - 1979)Wood was born in 1889 in Sandgate, England. His father, W.L. Wood was a Victorian painter, and young Robert displayed an early ability for painting. He studied painting in the traditional manner of the late-Victorian period in nearby Folkstone. After service in the Royal Army, he emigrated to America in 1910. Eventually residing in Texas, Wood established a reputation for beautifully painted landscapes of familiar Texas scenes. There he studied with one of the area's best known artists, Jose Arpa (B.1868). There is little doubt that Wood was also influenced by the painters Robert and Julian Onderdonk (1853-1917 and 1882-1922 respectively).www.askart.com

Bellver Castle – also known as Castell de Bellver in Spanish – is one of Mallorca's most intriguing attractions. Located in Palma de Mallorca, Bellver Castle has towered above this lively capital city for over 700 years.
Exploring Bellver Castle
Bellver Castle is located to the north-west of Palma city centre. Situated on top of a small hill, it offers wonderful views of the city below, its vibrant harbour and the glistening Mediterranean Sea. It also has the honour of being the only round castle in Spain, and its stark Gothic style stands out clearly against Palma's more modern developments.
Bellver Castle was built in the 14th century for King Jaume II (also known as James II) of Mallorca, and was designed by the architect Pere Salva. Throughout its history, the castle has been used as a residence for royalty and for several centuries was a military prison. It has also seen many battles and sieges.
Today, the most popular attraction at Bellver Castle is its impressive moat. It also houses a museum that offers a glimpse into Mallorca's diverse history, with exhibits from the island's Bronze Age Talaiotic culture, as well as from the Roman and Arab periods.
Other castles to visit in Mallorca
Elsewhere in Palma, Almundaina Palace – designed by the same architect as Bellver Castle – is an impressive royal building that fuses Gothic architecture with Arab influences.
Outside the city, visitors can hike up to Castell d'Alaro to explore its medieval ruins and enjoy stunning views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. Capdepera Castle and Santueri Castle also attract many holidaymakers.
The island of Mallorca is famed for its blissful climate and sweltering summers.

He developed the concept of the South Australian Film Corporation for Premier Dunstan, which served as a model for film organisations in most states.

His many documentaries include Death and destiny, focusing on his love of ancient Egypt.
He has published many books, including The unspeakable Adams, The uncensored Adams, and Adams versus God. His The Penguin book of Australian jokes and The Penguin book of jokes from cyberspace are amongst the top-selling books in Australia with sales approaching 270 000.

Plenary presentation: Future work-family links and the new community library
Dr Don Edgar is probably best known as the Foundation Director of the Australian Institute of Family Studies, a position he held for 14 years. The Institute's massive research output influenced both public opinion and government policy on factors affecting marriage and the family in Australia, including the extension of parental leave, reforms in the Family Law system, better provision of child-care services, marriage education and counselling, services for the aged and improvements to the social security system.
Dr Edgar left the Institute in 1993, to become Professorial Fellow at Monash University and is now Adjunct Professor with RMIT's Centre for Workplace Culture Change. He is the author of 12 books, his latest ones being Men, marriage, mateship (Harper Collins 1997), and When too much change is never enough (Woodslane 1997). He works as a private consultant to Australian business and writes a regular column for The Weekend Australian and feature articles for The Age on a range of social policy issues.
Dr Edgar began his career as a graduate of the University of Melbourne, teaching in secondary schools before training teachers as the Secondary Teachers College there. He obtained his PhD at Stanford University (California) and became Assistant Professor and Research Associate at the University of Chicago. On his return to Australia, he taught at Monash University and was then Reader in Sociology at La Trobe University for nine years. He was for many years secretary and treasurer of the International Sociology Association's Committee on Family Research, and a member of the International Union of Family Organisations. He was an executive member of Australia's National Council for the International Year of the Family 1994, continues as a member of Australia's UNESCO Committee on Social Research and is a member of the International Family Policy Forum.
Don is married to Dr Patricia Edgar, director of the Australian Children's Television Foundation.

|Fair's penny dive has more than just pennies; lots of prizes planned
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 14 August 2014 00:00
Thursday's Penny Dive at the Imperial swimming pool will have more than pennies as prizes. Events start at 4 p.m.
Brandy Hanes, who is coordinating the event that Adams Drug is sponsoring in part, said dollar coins, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies will be dropped in the pool for youths to dive after. Other prizes will also be awarded.
Youngsters should bring their swimming suits and be ready to get wet as they dive for cash, Hanes said.

Engage by Brian Solis – A Review
I recently finished Brian Solis' new book, Engage, after some stop and go reading over the past month. Overall I thought it was a great book with some good examples and case studies to keep in my back pocket. In the end though, I think it could be broken into two separate books: New Media University and Postgrad.
The first half does a great job of breaking down social media theory and tools via courses in the "New Media University". Solis encourages even those who consider themselves social media PhD's to start from square one and review what makes up the intricacies of social media:
"For those well versed in social media and the tools that connect us to those we wish to reach, enjoy this chance to hit "ctrl-alt=del" and restart with a fresh perspective. For those new to the socialization of media and influence, please take your time here. This is were everything begins."
By the time you receive your New Media U. MBA you have covered an extensive library of tools available and have been introduced to a myriad of examples and case studies that prove the value of those tools. I enjoyed reviewing and reminding myself of the resources that can foster relationships, conversation and reputation both personally and for brands and business. More »
The Share Economy
Brian Solis recently published an article addressing the shift of referral traffic from traditional search to social networks. He notes that more people are sharing and finding resources using various social sources. Again, the trust factor comes in to play as people are more likely to take recommendations (in the form of links, brand mentions, product reviews) from peers than from a paid search or faceless results page. Search optimization cannot be ignored outside of the traditional big-name engines.
A few of my favorite points from the article:
- In the share economy, currency is defined by likes, links, retweets, updates, comments, shares on Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, MySpace, et al.
- With the advent of social feeds… consumers can more easily rely on trusted personal relationships to determine what's worthwhile to read, watch, play and buy online.
- Create paths that define and engender the experience you desire with destinations and calls to action integrated to close the loop.
- By creating a connected social experience, we activate our content and community and empower a new genre of branded information catalysts.

Heading into Thursday's game between the Ravens and Broncos there were a number of questions on the mind of analysts throughout the country. These were legitimate inquiries too – as opposed to questions we just dreamed up because we needed to add some intrigue to the opening night matchup.
Last year's AFC Championship combatants have each undergone significant chance over the offseason and Thursday night we got our chance to see the new look teams in action for the first time. While I'd like to underscore the importance of recognizing that this is simply too small a sample to make great inferences from, we can learn a lot by looking at how each player was used as much as how they performed. Again, though… small sample, yes, you should probably go add Julius Thomas if he's available on your waiver wire but he's not going to score two times each week… on that note, Manning probably isn't going to throw for 112 Touchdowns this year, despite his current pace. With the avoiding overreaction caveat aside, here are a few things I noticed worth taking note of moving forward.
- As Ryley Henry pointed inside the Locker Room yesterday, Eric Decker hasn't fallen off the fantasy map. He had an ugly game, including drops (one in the endzone… but, make note that that means he received an end zone target), a pass interference penalty, and a fumble out of bounds, but he's still going to be a big part of Denver's offense. After all, he received seven targets, he just didn't do very much with them. The drop on a routine basket catch was brutal, but had he caught the ball fantasy owners are chalking it up as an 11 point night and not overreacting. His -5.5 overall grade via Pro Football Focus is the worst of his career by a wide margin, but he's had clunkers before and was still a viable option.
- Julius Thomas received Peyton Manning's first target of the night. He got rocked, and he dropped the ball, but went on to get several more looks from there. He'll be a big part of the offense, and his big, athletic body offers a nice complement to the receivers. When they shift coverage to Welker in the middle or Demaryius Thomas on the outside, JT is going to benefit. On his first score of the night, Thomas made Darryl Smith (always an unfair matchup vs. an LB) look ridiculous on a great sluggo/seam route that left him wide open. He is available in 52% of Yahoo! leagues and is worth the roster spot, clearly. Further, he played every single offensive snap for Denver.
- Neither Ray Rice or Bernard Pierce looked overly impressive, and the Ravens had to turn away from the run late in the second half as things got out of hand. While Rice received 20 touches to Pierce's 9, the carry distribution was much closer (12-9) with Pierce getting carries on first down and a number of important situations. He's not going to be deployed simply to spell Rice.
- Wes Welker got 11 looks for the Broncos and made good on 9 of them, looking very much like the same receiver in the same role as in New England. He won't score twice every week, though. He was on the field the fewest of the three fantasy relevant wideouts in Denver, too. That is to be expected, given his role as slot receiver, but its worth noting. Still, 11 looks after I spent the offseason proclaiming he won't come close to his New England target total is impressive.
- Torrey Smith caught just half of his 8 targets, but he did look every bit the part of a WR1 for the Ravens. He made catches on a variety of routes, an intermediate and a deep out route, a long catch on a go route, but the most impressive coming from Smith – still thought of by some as a deep threat only – was on a short dig route that he caught well short of the first down marker and fought off tacklers on his way to picking it up and setting up Vonta Leach's first quarter score.
- Speaking of Leach, his value to Ray Rice was evident on Rice's short TD. Without that block Rice owners were waking up extremely disappointed this morning.
- Before getting hurt Jacoby Jones was fairly heavily involved in the Ravens offense, and it seems clear that they are scheming ways to get him involved; the last play of the first quarter/screen pass, and while it was blown up it was still a designed play for Jones. After his exit, Marlon Brown looked good. Now, that's easy to say because he scored a TD, but his work in the middle of the field was more impressive. He displayed strong hands and quickness in the open field. Brown is a player to keep an eye on if Jones is going to miss time, and perhaps even if he doesn't. Brown saw a total of 58 snaps and caught 4 of his 6 targets.
- Owner's of less impressive catch rates: The Ravens' Tight Ends, who combined to catch 8 of 17 balls. Dallas Clark dropped numerous balls and would have been charged with a lost fumble had he not had his facemask tugged on the play. Of note, though: Flacco kept going back to his TEs (Clark in particular) despite the drops and often did so in critical situations. They didn't convert a lot of their third down opportunities when throwing their direction, but if the drops can be curbed there is value to be found here. Clark, based on this week's performance and target numbers, appears to be the TE to own. He saw 60 snaps to Dickson's 41 as well.
- There wasn't a ton of excitement from any of the Denver backs, though it should be noted that Knowshon Moreno was on the field more than twice as much as the other two backs and he played exceptionally well as a receiver. He did grade the worst of the lot as a pass blocker but should still see plenty of 3rd down work moving forward. Ball was the most explosive runner, and it should be noted that his first two carries of the game came from inside the 20 yard line. His first, a 9 yard gain from the 15, was impressive and followed immediately by a first down on 3rd and 1 from the 6th. I'm not sure what John Fox thought of that play, but I'd have rather watched him go in a straight line for one and pick up the conversion rather than try so hard to dart to the outside and nearly wind up forcing a field goal.
- Perhaps it was a result of his first game with many new receivers and the general ineptitude of the Baltimore offense for most of the night, but, Joe Flacco played poorly under pressure. The box score shows two picks but it could have been more, given a number of bad decisions under pressure, throws across the body, etc. Also, his chemistry with Brandon Stokley (understandably, given that he hasn't been in town that long) is clearly lacking.
- Demaryius Thomas made something from nothing more the once such as his late screen TD, but also a similar 34 yard catch and run (on the play prior to Andre Caldwell's TD). After the reception three players were ready to tackle him and he switched gears and took it to the sideline.
So, there you have it, my quick hits. Oh yeah, Peyton put up one of the all time best fantasy nights with 450+ yards and seven scores to go with 0 interceptions. Again though, in the same line of thinking that reminds us all that it is ridiculous to assume that Manning can maintain that level of performance for 16 games, we have to be conscious of the fact that this is simply one game of football. We've made note of the important stuff, but none of the information calls for an overreaction. If I had to pick one piece of actionable advice, it would be to make a move on JT today.

Soviet Russians Fire Missile Over California, Days After UFO Over Centreville DC
The Soviet Russians have united with the Chinese and European Union to bring America to its proverbial knees.
Only days after we found a UFO hovering over Centreville, only several miles away from Washington, DC, today we found a government cover-up of an advanced missile that hovered over Los Angeles, waiting to unleash a nuclear payload never before witnessed by mankind.
NBC affiliates caught imagery of this missile, which was launched near Catalina Island of the coast of Santa Monica and Malibu.
Military officials have remained silent on the issue, with several denying the event occurred and others calling it a 'photographic illusion', ignorant of the fact that there is video footage.
Even more daunting, the Chinese are involved.
Today, China ordered UK Cameron to pay a visit on behalf the European Union. The Chinese have already taken Russia as an ally. Cameron did not want to attend the meeting and wore poppy, a sign of disrespect in Chinese culture, to show his displeasure in keeping the UK safe from Chinese and Soviet attack by appeasing their demands.
America is being singled out by advanced Chinese and Russian technology. While America spends its resources keeping the world safe, the Asian powerhouses of Russia and China pool their technology and resources to build new weapons of domination and mass destruction.

Speaking of bikes and dirt, this is from Sunday:

Where is skyline?
tube socks!!!! Looks like a gnarly rock garden.
I was riding in the Don yesterday and found some sections super slick with mud. I was planning on a ride in there tomorrow, but I think with the updated calls for rain, I'm going to sit it out. I don't find it much fun when you can't ride you just slide.
I rode CanadaWide for Cancer in 2006! I rode 6850km and raised over $110 000 for kids with cancer. Check out the journal at: http://www.cyclingforcancer.ca
I heard ads on the radio this morning saying you needed to use hands free now while driving. But I can't find anything to say whether this is currently the law or if it's coming soon. Anyone know?

Does anyone have an old braze-on front derailleur sitting in their parts box that they would like to sell or trade?
And what is with the October weather today?
I might have an old Ultegra/600 one. It might be an 8 or 7 speed, tho.
Hrm, that sounds interesting...is it from the old Tri-colour group? I haven't figured out how I am going to build up this new Ciocc yet, I have pretty much everything except a braze-on front derailleur.
Can I use an old front derailleur with a newer group? I am thinking that an Ultegra 9-speed group would work but I am not sure....
Your call: last time I used it with a 10 speed group, the cage was too wide for proper shifting.
anyone know where I would be able to find decently reliable, smooth riding, GUMWALL tires in 700x23c?
looked online, but finding stuff like Grand Bios/Challange are great, however whats their reliability like?
that and I would rather buy local.
willing to go up to 700x25c...
Toronto, April 22 2009: with Bill 118, Ontario joins Quebec and Nova Scotia in the fight against distraction at the wheel. These provinces in Canada work to ban drivers from using hand-held cellphones. Only hands-free in-car devices and Bluetooth headsets are allowed.
done like dinner
veloflex do sound pretty good, but they are widest in a 22c. but mounted I have read its like a 21c...
that and they wear pretty quickly, but prob cuz its a really sticky soft compound.
looking for something a touch wider and longer lasting.
Screw you Duppy...you know how hard it is livin' in the hood with only the love of dance to keep your head above water? Don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge......

Is it just for the looks?
Yes most Veloflexes have a tan sidewall. Pricey and not wide. I have a pair of black (non-tan). Great tires but haven't ridden enough to comment on durability.
Panaracers Pasela/Tourguards are nice. Urbane had the tan 32s at 28$. 23-25-28s exists online and maybe somewhere in town (let me know!)
Btw tan sidewalls will look dirty after a while...

I bought a late 90's Novara Randonee, it came with:
-Shimano RSX brifters
-Shimano RSX front derailleur
-Shimano "Hyperdrive" front triple crankset
-Shimano Alivio rear derailleur
-SRAM 7 speed cassette
[Just as a note, I am very much a novice at bike tuning/repair]
When I picked the bike up, the rear derailleur shifted fine. The front would not shift into the largest chainring, but small and middle shifted fine. The cables and housings all looked original, so I decided to replace them. Install went smoothly, and I was able to adjust the RD properly.
When adjusting the FD, I can't get it to shift off of the smallest chainring. I had taken the FD off and apart to clean it and see how it worked. The FD moves just fine, all the way out.
I re-installed it, and started to adjust it. When I hit the shifter to go up one chainring, it moves over quite a ways, enough to contact and move the chain, but not enough to move the chain to the next chainring.
I set the inside limit as close as it gets, re-adjusted the height of the FD, and
tried rotating the clamp to move the FD closer to the chain. It still won't shift the chain over. I tried the "bow" shifting technique and the derailleur moves all the way out just fine.
So after searching the forum, I am still looking for advice. It looks like some people have said that if your chainrings are very worn, it won't transfer the chain properly. My chainrings look worn, especially the outside 2, but the smallest chainring isn't that bad...
So here's what I know:
shifters work
cables are brand new
housings are brand new
FD is old, original, POS?
chainrings are pretty worn
chain in unknown condition, but most likely very old (replace now or after I get it rideable?)
So should I keep messing with it? Some other trick I probably don't know? Should I just buy a new FD? If so, which kind would work (RSX is obviously no longer around). Buy new chainrings? Does the old chain have anything to do with this? I am going to replace the chain at some point, I just was expecting to be able to ride it after I replaced the housings and cables.
Thanks for any advice, I'm really trying hard to figure this out. I just want to ride it soon, then worry about upgrading components if I feel the need.

Continuing the flow of highly anticipated specialized releases, IFC's controversial French female romantic drama "Blue Is the Warmest Color" started off strong. Among the highly anticipated November openers are "Dallas Buyers Club," "Nebraska" and "Philomena," with more opening every week through the end of the year. Despite some obstacles, "Blue" managed the best per screen average opening of any multi-screen foreign language film so far this year, and should build momentum in other cities ahead, though it will be limited somewhat by its NC-17 rating.
Two new documentaries, "The Square" and "Spinning Plates," opened to lower but OK results. "Capital," the new film by legendary director Costa-Gavras nabbed some attention in its two-theater New York opening.
Last week's big opener "12 Years a Slave" continued its impressive grosses with a quick expansion to 125 theaters (good enough to be covered in our top 10 report), while "All Is Lost" continues to show a degree of strength in its new theaters. "Kill Your Darlings" fared less well.
"Blue Is the Warmest Color" (IFC) - Criticwire: A-; Metacritic: 89; Festivals include: Cannes 2013, Telluride 2013, Toronto 2013, New York 2013
$101,116 in 4 theaters; PSA (per screen average): $25,279
It has been a slow year for foreign language films in the art market so far. "The Grandmaster" with its quick, somewhat wide, commercial release made it to $6.5 million. Among limited art-house releases, the best has been "No" at $2.3 million. So the initial 4-theater success of IFC's "Blue Is the Warmest Color," despite its significant advance publicity, was far from assured. Its gross --$101,000 for the first weekend -- is the best for a limited multiple opening since "Intouchables" in May, 2013 ("Hannah Arendt" had a slightly higher PSA in a single theater earlier this year), and at $25,200 about $6,000 above that of "The Grandmaster, as well as better than the openings of the last two Oscar Foreign Language winners ("A Separation" and "Amour"). "Blue" played in four prime New York/Los Angeles theaters, including IFC's own in Greenwich Village, where they announced they would ignore the film's NC-17 rating and allow younger teenagers to buy tickets without adult accompaniment.
Its rating likely has helped initially, but countering that is an offputting three hour running time (nothing remotely as long has had this response in the art market in recent memory) which also cuts down capacity and convenient showtimes. That makes it an unlikely success, despite its Palme d'or win at Cannes (never a guarantee of U.S. interest) and its subject matter (though they might find a strong core audience, lesbian romantic stories have never had anything like the impact their gay male counterparts sometimes have had). And recent publicity about the feuding between director Abdellatif Kechiche and co-star Lea Seadoux might have gotten press, but could come across as off-putting to many potential viewers.
So IFC's gamble to go with a normal theatrical run for this (another Cannes film of their from France, Claire Denis' "Bastards" went to Video on Demand along with its quiet New York opening last Wednesday) seems initially to have paid off. The last significant NC-17 film, "Shame" from Fox Searchlight, with its more initially commercial New York setting and better known cast, opened in 10 theaters with a $350,000 gross on its way to an eventual $3.9 million, despite being restricted somewhat by its rating. (We rank the best and worst NC-17 films here.) Although "Blue" is already set in prime theaters in all the top markets, this initial reaction likely opens the doors to a somewhat wider release ("Shame" at its widest was only 95 theaters), and if reaction to the film as a whole is similar to its critical response (it delivers far more than its already famous sex scenes) it could easily top "No" at least and become a significant success.
