HBO'S 'Gloria: In Her Own Words' celebrates a woman in her own time
Gloria Steinem opens the door to her home. That simple gesture could not be more symbolic.
The most famous of the founders of the women's movement has been opening doors of all kinds for more than 40 years.
To women of a certain age, those who marched in the streets demanding equal rights, Steinem is a hero. To girls who never questioned that they could play ball, she's also a hero.
For those who don't know who she is, and for those who smile at the mention of her name, watch HBO's "Gloria: In her Own Words" Monday, Aug. 15.
The excellent documentary has footage of President Richard Nixon grumbling about her, George Burns coming on to her and the protests. It covers the story she did under cover as a Playboy bunny. She "learned what it was like to be on a meat hook," she says in the film. "I regretted for many years I did it because it made me unserious."
It traces her childhood with an adored father, emotionally fragile mother and constant money problems. It shows the meeting she was covering, as a young journalist in 1969, when women revealed their hideous experiences getting illegal abortions. That became a pivotal moment for Steinem.
She never grabs sole credit for what the women's movement has accomplished. Steinem became the face of the movement when even the word "feminist" terrified people. While Bella Abzug and Flo Kennedy were abrasive, Steinem was reserved, and the camera loved her.
At 77, she looks fabulous. The long, frosted hair is shorter now but still parted in the middle. She wears brown slacks, a brown top and light makeup; the iconic aviator shades are gone.
Her Manhattan apartment, as one might expect of a writer's home, is full of books and art from her travels, including carousel statues from India on the mantel. She had just returned from South Korea after working with women attempting to reunify the country.
Steinem answers whatever Zap2it asks.
Q: Do you see a committed next generation of feminists?
A: Yes, absolutely. There are infinitely more young women who consider themselves feminists. It's clearly present.
Q: How do you react to those who say equal rights are fine, but they're not feminists?
A: The word has been denigrated in the same way "liberal" has been by the ultraright. If you send them to the dictionary and they look it up they might say, "Oh, yeah." "Womanist" is a great word. I love "mujerista." Also, I just think if people understood what it means, 65 percent identify (with feminism) in polls.
Q: Are you surprised that abortion rights have been chipped away?
A: Just from knowing about the depth of patriarchy and racism, I began to understand this. If controlling reproduction is the reason or the root that women have to be controlled, men have been made to feel they have to have great paternity; they need more people in their race and nation. Q: How do you stay so calm? A: I come from the Midwest. I don't want to characterize the Midwest. ... When I started out, I made a list of the things that frightened me about the peo- ple in New York. They say three times the things we wouldn't dream of saying once.
Q: What's your opinion of Sarah Palin?
A: If I had set out to make up an adversary, I couldn't have done much better. In a way, it is not her fault. She was picked up by what pretends to be the Republican Party. If they had a woman, that was all that was necessary. They treat women in a general way, like any general constituency understands who stands for their issues and who doesn't.
Q: Why do we need a women's movement in 2011?
A: Because we do not have a democracy without it, because violence against women is the primary cause of violence in the world. It sets the paradigm for all other violence. You can predict violence by violence in the home. And for the sake of men, the woman man most fears is the woman inside himself. Men are deprived of the human qualities wrongly called feminine. So I would say we need a women's movement for democracy, world peace and whole human beings.
Q: Have you ever seriously thought of running for office, since you were on that implausible 1969 Norman Mailer/ Jimmy Breslin ticket?
A: I never thought of running for office. It is a big stretch for me to speak in public. Until the women's movement, it was not natural for me. If I ran for office, I would have to study and understand many issues that don't interest me.
Q: Do you still tap-dance in elevators?
A: If there is an irresistible Muzak, I do still tap-dance.
Q: Do people stop you on the street?
A: Yeah. It's wonderful. So far no one has stopped me to say, "I hate what you are doing!" ... I'm not crazy enough to think it's me. It's because I symbolize something important in their life.

Hi all,
I have already been looking everywhere for the answer, but I'm afraid it'll be just me
I got yesterday a MID X10 tablet (http://www.prlog.org/10836602-x10-mid-tablet-pc-makes-you-work-anytime-anywhere.html), on which I was hoping to install the CE-version of ScummVM, and thus playing all the games from my youth...
Therefore, I downloaded the Windows CE ARM package from the download site, and extracted everything onto the internal harddisk, and executed Scumm.exe.
Doesn't work: I get the message: "Application SCUMMVM.EXE encountered a serious error and must shut down".
Quite surely I must be doing something wrong, because in the 'Docs' Readme joined with the package, it says I should have 'modern.ini and modern.zip in the same directory'. But I don't have these files...
Can anyone please try to put me back on the right track please ? Looking sooo forward to succeeding here
Tech data for the tablet:
X10 MID Tablet PC uses ARM Telechip 8901 (800MHz) processor, standard 128MB (upgradeable to 256MB) memory, 2GB (upgradeable to 16GB) memory, 7 inch screen supports a maximum resolution of 800 × 480 pixels, pre-installed on WindowsCE 6.0 or Android operating system, supports microSD expansion capacity, built-in 3G modules and GPS global positioning system, also equipped with mini HDMI output interface.
Any help would be gigantically appreciated !
Sounds like the exe is not compatible with the cpu of your device somehow. Try an older version perhaps to see if that works?
Check out the older versions here:
And also.. I think that the offical build is for WM , Win CE is not really WM, there are significant differences which could stop you from running the app. But older releases might again not have this WM dependency.
Windows CE builds only work with Windows CE 5.0. Windows Mobile 6.x is basically Windows CE 5.0 + extra features, meaning you won't be able to use these binaries on Windows CE 6 or CE 7.
Hey, thanks !
Although it's not really the answer I was hoping for
But still: appreciate it !
I've got the same problem with my no-name 7" mini netbook which has an ARM WM 8505 processor and Windows CE 6.0 OS But I still try to fire up the Full Throttle game on it.
I've scratched my head for some time and managed to launch the ScummVM on my netbook (see above). vleermans, take a look into stderr.log file in ScummVM directory. In my case it told me that there is no GAPI in my device. I've downloaded and launched it. Unfortunately, my netbook is not officially supported by GAPI, so I had to use the GAPI emulation. But THIS DAMN THING WORKS! Of course, it will take some time to set the program up for your needs, but IT WORKS!
Full Throttle Forever!!!!!
I think scumm works somewhat in wince 6.x.x since there are quotes talking about devices using this opsys, like HD2, pure, touch pro, xpheria...

Sacred Heart University To Participate In Cfai University Recognition Program For Investment Management
Sacred Heart University's bachelor's degree in Finance and Investment Management program has been approved by the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute (CFAI) to participate in its University Recognition Program. To earn this acceptance, the program had to incorporate at least 70 percent of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) and emphasize the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice within the program.
According to Lucjan T. Orlowski, professor of Economics and International Finance, and Department of Economics and Finance chairman for the University's Jack Welch College of Business, this recognition reflects on our teaching excellence and underscores the quality and distinctiveness of the University's finance curriculum.
The CFA Program, Orlowski explained, sets a standard for developing the skills, competence, ethics and integrity of financial analysts, portfolio managers, investment advisers and other investment professionals worldwide. It is widely considered the investment profession's most rigorous credentialing program. Administered in English, the CFA curriculum and examinations are identical worldwide.
"This award results from a far-reaching collaborative effort involving our finance faculty. It also reaffirms our scholarly commitment to best practices and a thorough approach through both proven material and leading-edge practical applications. We are committed to demonstrating how the theories and lessons we're teaching in the classroom can be used in the real world of finance, here in the United States and internationally," Orlowski said.
Orlowski credits fellow departmental Professors Ralph Lim and Bridget Lyons with playing instrumental roles in guiding the department through the application process.
According to Lim, Sacred Heart's program positions students to obtain the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, which has become the most respected and recognized investment credential in the world.
"We're pleased and honored to have achieved this important recognition," said Lim. "Entry into the CFA Institute University Recognition Program signals to potential students, employers and the marketplace that Sacred Heart's curriculum is closely tied to professional practice and is well-suited to preparing students to sit for the three levels of CFA examinations. Students in the program will gain access to CFA Institute textbooks, journals, webcasts and other educational resources. This is another important step in our goal to provide a learning experience for our students that is strong, creative and closely linked to the real finance world."

Use the following tips to control the variables most commonly encountered in garment screen printing.
Measuring flash temperature
Measuring ink temperature during flashing is best achieved using a non-contact infrared thermometer immediately after the print exits the flash unit. These hand-held devices measure the infrared radiation coming off an object. Aimed a few inches away, they report readings as surface temperature. Lasers are available to ensure the sensor is properly aimed at the desired object (Figure 5). Small, inexpensive models with lasers sell for less than $50 and are quite effective.
To get a good reading on the flashed ink, set the thermometer to max temperature mode, then simply aim the reading sensor on the ink immediately after you rotate the platen from under the flash unit. Units with lasers are particularly useful to confirm you hit the ink itself and not just the shirt. The display will show the highest temperature read on the ink. Because ink will cool very quickly after being removed from the flash unit, the reading can not reflect the true temperature the ink reached. However, if the reading remains at or below 275°F (135°C) the ink is usually not being over flashed.
Best practices are to first adjust the flash settings so gel just occurs on the ink, then use the non-contact thermometer to measure the ink temperature as it comes out of the flash. This becomes your baseline for that set of conditions. Many variables come into play, so this temperature will be a bit different for each circumstance. Finally, check ink temperature during the run and adjust the flash time so the ink does not drastically exceed the baseline temperature originally measured.
Press platens progressively heat up as a run continues when flash units are in use. Warm platens preheat the plastisol ink before it is flashed, reducing the needed dwell time. Until the platens warm up, a longer flash time will be required during starting up. The best option is to pre-heat platens under the flash with four revolutions. If this is not possible, the flash time should be checked and adjusted once the platens are warm.
The five issues we have discussed here are just some of the variables that influence the garment-printing process. Perform an audit of these areas in your operation. Don't assume they are running effectively. Take action to implement solutions to any problems you find. I guarantee you will see improvements in your print quality, efficiency, and production flow.

Calls along the Merrimack River keep fire crews hopping July 4thBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 04. 2013 8:11PM
MANCHESTER — Normand Forand felt a cold splash of reality Thursday during his first time out in a kayak.
"A big wave came over the kayak and I was floating from then on," said Forand, one of four Manchester kayakers maneuvering the Merrimack River from Manchester to Merrimack.
Forand and a friend, Carl Albright, were tossed from their kayak while Forand's two nephews remained in their own watercraft around 12:45 p.m. Someone at Arms Park suspected trouble and called authorities, who launched two fire department boats to scoop up those needing a ride to the boat launch near Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
"They were fine," Lt. Pete Franggos said. "They're just enjoying a day out in the water."
Manchester fire crews were busy with water-related calls.
They used chains to help secure a dock — with about a half-dozen boats attached — that was breaking away from shore at 17 Riverfront Drive.
"If the dock goes, the boats go with it," District Fire Chief Jim Michael said.
While crews were there, they saw a wakeboarder having trouble in the Merrimack and were yelling that a dam was up ahead. The boat the wakeboarder was with had to get in front of the troubled wakeboarder, pulling him into the boat underneath the Amoskeag bridge near a safety cable strung across the river, south of the bridge, Michael said.
The safety line is the last chance to stop a boat or a person from going over the falls, he said.
"It was a close call," he said, noting the wakeboarder could have been killed if not rescued in time.
Michael said the current in the Merrimack is about 33 percent "above normal in strength."
With the group of kayakers, Albright said he was the first one in the water when his kayak hit a bridge column.
"I just flipped," he said. "We're all good swimmers."
Normand Forand's nephew, Chris Forand, said, "I was embarrassed" the fire department was called out.
After they reached shore, the four kayakers soon returned to their watercraft to head to Merrimack to complete their 10-mile journey.
"We have to get to our cars," Albright said.

Of course, this is hardly surprising to anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together. First, go after the small fish who don't have the funds to fight Microsoft in court (Wistron, Velocity Micro, Itronix) or those already embroiled in a large patent lawsuit with Microsoft's partner in this endeavour, Apple (HTC). The key here is not to actually divulge to the public which patents these guys are supposedly infringing, because that way, the public and other companies can't help in invalidating them.
Now that you have pressured a slew of smaller companies into paying protection money, you have the basis to move on to the bigger fish. These bigger fish could, of course, take you to court - but then, Microsoft can claim the smaller companies validated the patent claims, even though they simply lacked the funds to take this to court.
The big fish is now in trouble, since their position is weak. This means they will most likely be forced to pay the protection money, which, coincidentally, is about the same per device as the cost of a Windows Phone 7 license, per device. To make matters worse - Samsung is not an American company, which means the chances of them scoring any victory in an American court against one of America's largest companies are even slimmer.
And thus, without ever having contributed a single dime to the development of Android or Samsung's devices, Microsoft will still get lots and lots of money off them, while at the same time raising the costs of Android to about that of Windows Phone 7. Which, of course, is a total coincidence.
It's funny how some argue in favour of software patents, claiming that software development is impossible without it, even though the fact of the matter is that software patents are a relatively new construct. Up until the mid-'90s, the US courts held the belief that software should not be patentable; it wasn't until 1998 that the courts ruled that a calculation which produced a "useful, concrete and tangible result" should be patentable (State Street Bank v. Signature Financial Group). Up until then, the USPTO refused to grant patents on software; after, they ceased resisting, and accepted software patents. Update: As pointed out in the comments, more accurately would be to say that the USPTO resisted software patents until the mid-'90s, with lower courts sometimes overturning USPTO decisions. Software patentability then developed further in the court system, until the 1998 decision, in which the patentability of software was established beyond any doubt. More here.
So, even without software patents, the computer and software industry flourished before 1998. Basically every computer and software technology we use today is older than 1998, so this means innovation and progress occurred just fine without software patents. Arguing that software patents are needed to foster innovation is akin to arguing that progress was hampered pre-1998.
As I've said before, ideas should not be patentable. A patent should cover an implementation, but since with software the implementation comes in the form of code, the implementation is already protected by copyright. Hence, software patents are not only idiotic, they are simply not needed.
It takes a lot of time and research to write a good science fiction novel, yet you'll see few people arguing that the idea of a space novel should be patentable. Yet, this is exactly what software patents are.

Cash Shouldn't Be the Only Apple of Your Eye
Is there a secret pile of cash hiding in your stock portfolio? And, if so, is there a way to get at it?
Many investors must be wondering following the news that Apple has come under pressure to return more of its $100 billion-plus cash hoard to investors—a move that has caused a spike in the stock and could, in theory, lead to a payday for stockholders.

Yeah, as much as I call him Dr Evazan, and I've read the story, I like to just think of him as some minor criminal who picks fights. In fact, I've always thought he was outright lying when he said he had the death sentence on twelve systems. He seems like that kind of guy. I think the real badasses would keep that **** quiet.

1. Ride toward the rail nice and low, with knees bent, ready to spring into action.
2. The ollie is key. Don't boost the ollie a foot above the rail or you'll land in a sagging press. Climb into the press by bringing your nose just over the rail-as the nose makes contact, your back leg is still rising up from the ollie.
3. Your back leg and tail are above the handrail now-never let them touch the rail. Keep all your weight past the front foot and over the nose of your board. I like to keep my presses directly over the rail.
4. Hold that press. Remember, if you tap or put heavy sag into the press, it doesn't count. When you see the end of the handrail approaching, begin to turn your shoulders and head backside.
5. Nollie off the end while spinning the rest of your body backside 180-your body will follow where your head and shoulders are turned.
6. You've already turned your head, so simply spot the landing and stomp the trick clean-nice one!

**1/2 (out of four)
Ruthlessly pursuing a billionaire he's sure deserves to be punished, detective Bryer (Tim Roth) laments, "He does not get to walk just because he's on CNBC."
Frustration toward the invincibility of the rich drives "Arbitrage," a corporate and legal thriller that generates some powerful exchanges between familiar players. The big spender facing big trouble is financial exec Robert Miller (Richard Gere), who neglects responsibility and internal bleeding after a tragic incident involving his mistress (French model Laetitia Casta) ... not long after she inevitably comments, "You're never going to leave her."
Robert wants to stay one step ahead of the cops until he can finalize the sale of his company. Delays of the sale only leave more time for Robert's daughter and corporate partner, Brooke (Winnetka-bred Brit Marling), to investigate questionable numbers on very important spreadsheets. Dad's internal bleeding may exist professionally as well as personally.
Last year "Margin Call" identified how high-ranking execs might lose perspective on huge sums of money until their books get out of hand. Last month the tremendous documentary "The Queen of Versailles" found unexpected vulnerability in a real-life couple undone by overindulging in their own success. "Arbitrage" doesn't exactly find new ground through Robert, who spends negligible time with his wife (Susan Sarandon) and puts Jimmy (Nate Parker of "Red Lights"), the son of his former driver, in a precarious position both because Robert trusts Jimmy more than his own son and because Robert ultimately doesn't care as much if something bad happens to a non-family member.
Initially suggesting a cautionary tale about the futility of running from problems, writer-director Nicholas Jarecki turns "Arbitrage" into a character study of an arrogant jerk who suffers the more he believes his own deceptions. The acting's just right, particularly Parker and Gere, who nails the movie's best scene as Robert finally sticks it to the man responsible for the pending merger's slowness.
Yet the possible presence of false evidence clouds the water of a movie that needs more grit and discovery. The depiction of money as the ultimate motivator should also inspire most viewers to mutter, "What else is new?"

Timber & board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product, we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.

NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase, the nation's biggest bank by assets, said Friday its first-quarter earnings fell 20 percent, driven by a decline in investment banking and mortgage lending.
EARNINGS: The bank reported net income of $4.9 billion for the first quarter, after stripping out payments to preferred stockholders. That was down from $6.1 billion in the same period a year earlier.
MISSED EXPECTATIONS: On a per-share basis, the earnings amounted to $1.28. That was worse than estimates of analysts polled by FactSet, who had been expecting $1.39.
LOWER REVENUE: Revenue, after stripping out the effect of an accounting charge for credit losses, was $23.8 billion, down 8 percent from $25.8 billion a year earlier.
FIXED INCOME TRADING: Revenues at the bank's fixed income trading business, part of its investment banking unit, slumped 21 percent to $3.8 billion.
"I look at it as doing fine, it's just not that predictable a business," said Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan's CEO and Chairman. "There's nothing wrong with that, you just have to deal with it over time."
MORTGAGE BUSINESS SLOWS: The bank's mortgage business continued to slow. The increase in bond yields since last summer has caused mortgage rates to rise, which in turn has stopped consumers from refinancing their home loans. Revenue at the bank's mortgage unit was $1.6 billion, down $1.1 billion from the same period a year earlier.
The bank doesn't expect the trend to change anytime soon. Chief Financial Officer Marianne Lake told reporters on a conference call to "expect that trend to be relatively consistent."
THE STOCK REACTION: Shares are down $2.44, or 4 percent, at $54.95 in early trading. The bank's stock is down 6.5 percent this year.

Today, nobody can deny the contribution of the Mekong River to the livelihoods of more than 60 million people and the abundance of natural resources of its basin.
Based upon the 1995 Mekong Agreement, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Viet Nam agreed to work together in order to "optimize the multiple-use and mutual benefits" of water resources and to "minimize the harmful effects that might result from natural occurrences and man-made activities"
To concretize the "mutual benefits", all development projects to be undertaken in the Mekong mainstream must be agreed by the riparian countries. While there are 11 planned dams in the Lower Mekong main stem, Xayaburi is the first one to be built. The project has stimulated controversial debate at all levels.
During the Friends of the Lower Mekong Ministerial Meeting held in Phnom Penh on 13th July, to which MWD representatives were invited as observers, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, together with Foreign Ministers of Cambodia and Viet Nam, expressed concern over the Xayaburi dam and call for further comprehensive studies. The Foreign Minister of Japan expressed willingness to provide financial support to conduct this study. In respond to Friends' concerns, the Foreign Ministry of Lao PDR informed the meeting that the Xayaburi project will be on hold until there are sufficient studies. The Lao Government also prepared a visit to the Xayaburi site for relevant embassies, funding agencies and development partners to express the sincerity and openness Lao PDR has on this issue.
The trip to Xayaburi Hydropower Development Project Site was organised during 16-17 July. Before the trip took place on 17th July, all participants joined a presentation session, chaired by the Lao Deputy Minister of Energy and Mines, during which information on the project was presented by Poyry and CNR. The biggest surprise to the invited participants was the contradictory message provided by the Deputy Minister that the Xayaburi Project will go on as planned. Any further study to be undertaken will be conducted and considered in parallel, and problems will be fixed along the way.
While the project has limited information on fish, biodiversity, livelihoods and other social aspects, at the site the Ch. Karnchang representative mentioned that there's a resettlement plan in place and the public hearing had already been done.
"Two years ago there were officers came to talk with us. They said some part of the village might be flooded. So people have to move. They said they prepared a new place for us to live but we don't know where or if we can live and farm there. Since then, we don't hear anything from them. We see a new road and lots of big trucks coming in and out", said Pon Intapanya from Tha Deau, a village near the Xayaburi dam site.
While the Governments of Cambodia and Viet Nam delivered a joint letter of concern to the Government of Lao PDR, there is as yet no official response. In Thailand, although PM Yingluck Chinawatra confirmed that this project should be halted, the Thai construction company Ch. Karnchang still keeps going with preparation work at the Xayaburi site. Groups of civil societyactors in Thailand have filed complaints in court against the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and three other state-owned agencies over the Xayaburi dam. Even if there is not yet a public protest on this project in Cambodia and Viet Nam, the concerns are similar.
"Xayaburi Hydropower Development Project is a big test for all lower Mekong countries and the Mekong River Commission (MRC). We hope there will be support for the proposal made by the US during the Friends of the Lower Mekong Ministerial Meeting that we need to have the dialogue among partner countries, aid agencies, NGOs, and the multilateral development institutions. We need more information sharing, and more support for efforts to strengthen trans-boundary governance, with full participation of affected communities, accountability and transparency", said Robert Mather, Head of IUCN Southeast Asia Group and Mekong Water Dialogues Project Manager.
Mekong Water Dialogues aims to improve water governance by facilitating transparent and inclusive decision-making for improved livelihood security, human and ecosystem health. It was initiated to work with countries of the Lower Mekong - Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam. It is coordinated and facilitated by IUCN and supported by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.

My Highlights from ARCOmadrid 2014
Ferran Barenblit
A Kassen—the Copenhagen-based collective comprised of Christian Bretton-Meyer, Morten Steen Hebsgaard, Soren Petersen, and Tommy Petersen—plays with traditional notions of authorship, appropriation, and appraisal. Described by the artists as "performative installation and sculpture," their work deconstructs and reconstitutes everyday objects, artworks by other artists, and historical exhibitions to question canonized styles and modes of display related to art history and institutional culture. In their best-known series "The Color of Things," the artists photograph objects then pulverize them, presenting the resultant monochromatic dust alongside the photographic effigy of the original form. The series addresses dichotomies such as image versus object, form versus function, life versus death, and commemoration versus reinvention.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Concerns about Bloodflow, Erection and Size
I am 27 yrs old and 2 years ago I had my first kid. Since then I can`t seem to keep an erection for even half as long as I use to. I was able to have sex for like an hour before ejaculating. Now it`s like 10 min. Also the size has gone down it seems. It`s like I`m loosing blood flow to that area. Is there anything I can naturally do to increase blood flow, or natural herbs to improve bloodflow?
Penile size is constant and does not decrease at young age. It may seem to adequate for most men but less than one minute is called premature ejaculation. Underlying depression may have a role in this condition.
You may have heard herbal remedies being advertized on media but there is no scientific evidence such remedies are worth their cost.

Beauty Expert Offers Advice for Looking Your Best at All Times
The best offense against a common skin problem such as rosacea is a strong defense, according to Charla Krupp, noted beauty expert and best-selling author, in offering some "makeup makeover" tips and other advice to help rosacea sufferers look their best.
One of the first and most important steps a rosacea patient should take is to ask his or her dermatologist for help in formulating a skin-care plan as early in treatment as possible, Ms. Krupp said. "The average woman spends $100 on beauty products each month, and trial and error is just too expensive."
Facial cleansers and makeup often contain additives such as fragrances, peppermint and alcohol, which are frequently cited as rosacea triggers, she said. "But there are plenty of products without these ingredients, so make sure to read the labels before primping."
A variety of makeup brands offer products with a green tint that can help counteract the appearance of redness, Ms. Krupp said. She suggested using gel or cream makeup formulations to create a dewy look that hides blemishes and wrinkles.
Because many rosacea patients suffer from eye irritation or extremely sensitive skin, Ms. Krupp recommended using eye pencils instead of liquid eyeliner and water-based mascara instead of waterproof mascara for easier removal.
Makeup brushes that are cleaned frequently are a better choice than sponge applicators, and replacing makeup every three to six months will also minimize contaminants, she said.
Ms. Krupp noted that clothing can also play a role in helping rosacea patients optimize their appearance. She advised choosing "red-reducing" colors such as yellows and blues and avoiding red, white and black, all of which emphasize a red face. In addition, she emphasized the benefits of long scarves, which can serve double duty as both a fashion accessory and a shield against the wind on wintry days.
A "bad skin day" doesn't have to turn into a disaster, Ms. Krupp said. "If you have a flare-up despite your commitment to following a rosacea-friendly routine, get over it and treat yourself. I recommend a manicure or pedicure, a massage or even buying a new top."

G9221, New January 2006
Figure 1Runoff from agricultural fields can have a large impact on water quality of streams and lakes.
As nutrient concentrations increase, surface water quality is degraded through the process of eutrophication. The following changes in surface water quality coincide with increasing nutrient concentration:
To understand why nutrient management is important on your farm, you need to appreciate how nutrients affect water quality. This guide answers frequently asked questions about the relationship between nutrients and water quality.
Nutrients are mineral compounds needed by all living things to grow and thrive. In most land and water systems, the limited availability of certain nutrients reduces growth of plants and animals.
For example, consider a corn crop growing in a field. The corn plant extracts minerals needed for growth from the soil. These include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, iron and many others. Most of these minerals are abundantly available in the soil and the corn plant's needs are easily met by what is in the soil. However, many soils have too little of some minerals and crops grown on these soils without fertilizers will have lower yields.
Unfertilized Missouri soils are frequently low in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is usually the most limiting nutrient for plant growth in land-based systems like a cornfield. It is usually profitable to farmers to purchase and apply nitrogen fertilizer to corn. The value of the yield increase from the added nutrients more than offsets the cost of the purchased fertilizer.
Streams and lakes have many similarities to that cornfield. Plants and fish use nutrients from the water to fuel their growth. The amount of aquatic growth in many streams and lakes in Missouri is limited by the amount of nutrients in the water. For example, southwest Missouri is known for the clarity of its lakes and streams. Water clarity is due, in part, to a lack of plant and animal growth in pristine water resources in this part of the state. The waters in this part of the state naturally have very low levels of phosphorus, limiting plant and fish growth.
The use of fertilizers and manures on agricultural land, golf courses and lawns increases the amount of nutrients reaching a stream. As more nutrients reach a stream or lake, they act like a fertilizer to increase plant growth. Users of the stream will notice the effect of more nutrients including a reduction in water clarity because of increased growth of plants and algae. Fertilizers increase the growth of plants in water just as fertilizers increase corn growth on land.
The nutrients limiting algae growth in fresh water are different from those limiting corn growth. Phosphorus is typically the most limiting nutrient in fresh water. Consequently efforts to improve stream and lake water quality focus on reducing phosphorus losses from fields to streams and lakes.
Nutrients move into water resources by three pathways:
The following strategies will help reduce nutrient losses from agricultural fields.
A nutrient management plan will provide guidance on how to implement these strategies for protecting water quality on your farm.

Bears coach Marc Trestman has spoken highly of quarterback Jay Cutler since taking over the team.
Some of the good things Trestman has said: "He's a bright football guy," "He's great to work with" and "Jay understands this offense."
My question is, does he really understand it? While Cutler has said time and again that everyone on the team has "bought into" Trestman's offense, one can question if he is an exception. For example, in the second preseason game, against San Diego, all five of Cutler's passes were intended for Brandon Marshall.
Against Carolina the week before, with Marshall out of the lineup, Cutler focused on Alshon Jeffery. And as we head into Week 3 of the preseason, Cutler has yet to throw a pass to $20 million tight end Martellus Bennett.
Outside of Marshall, Cutler has thrown to only five different receivers. He has also continued old habits of holding onto the ball for too long, forcing throws (which have led to turnovers) and taking unnecessary sacks. Not everything is the offensive line's fault.
This is a stark contrast from the Cutler repoters see in practice. It is in that atmosphere that the former Vanderbilt standout embodies the qualities of Trestman's West Coast offense.
He throws the ball with a quick and urgent release, he spreads the wealth to different receivers, he makes wise decisions and looks like a more efficient quarterback. Now the challenge is translating that to game day.
With Cutler in the final year of his contract, he has no excuses. The time is now for him to prove he is an "elite" quarterback. The Bears addressed the team's needs in the offseason by bringing in talent to fix the positions that failed the Bears in 2012 (tight end ,offensive line, etc.).
If "Mr. Cavallari" wants to be financially rewarded in 2014, he needs to transition from good practice player, to game winner. When he can achieve these goals on the field, then I'll believe that he's "bought into" the new offense.
Until then, he's still just the same old Cutler we've all come to know and tolerate.

Use of 653 Field For Keywords Not Found in LSCH
As those of you who catalog theses know, LCSH does not always contain the precise subject heading needed for a particular work. Often this is because the term is so new that there have not been enough books about it for LC to establish it as a heading. The other reason LCSH may not contain a desired term is that it is often too broad for some of the particular concepts in a thesis, making precise description impossible. And then there is the case where the LC Classification Schedules provide a call number for a particular subject but there is no corresponding subject heading in LCSH.
Therefore, the decision has been made to start assigning keywords to theses and other print works just as we've done for some electronic resources. However, use them sparingly. You should observe the following restrictions:
- If there is an existing heading for a concept in LSCH, use the LCSH term.
- If the subject is a person, corporate entity, or conference, use the proper authorized form of name in a 600, 610, or 611 field.
If neither of these is the case, assign a specific descriptive keyword or keyword phrase and place it in the 653 field. Both indicators are blank. You may repeat the 653 field as needed. Do not just dump a bunch of unrelated keywords in a single 653 field. Instead use multiple 653s for each concept. Examples of keywords that may be used are those for a species of animal not in LSCH or a mathematical equation with no term in LCSH. Highly technical terms that are two narrow to fit an LSCH heading may also be used as keywords.
Correct uses of 653:
- 653 b b $a Hydrophilic drugs
- 653 b b $a Amazonian spotted wildcat
Incorrect use of 653:
- 653 b b $a Space travel – quantum star drive – Alpha Centauri – wormholes
Use instead:
- 650 b 0 $a Space flight
- 651 b 0 $a Alpha Centauri
- 653 b b $a Quantum star drive
- 653 b b $a Wormholes
You should search the Voyager subject index and see if we've already used a particular keyword for a subject before assigning a completely new keyword. Always check LCSH first when using a keyword, especially if you've used it before, to make sure the term hasn't been established in the interim. If a term has been established in LCSH, report the keyword and new subject heading to Helen's unit so that they can change previous records to the new subject heading.

How badly does Juan Castillo want to succeed as the Eagles new defensive coordinator?
He would kill for it.
Maybe not in the literal sense, but I can't say that for certain after sitting down for an hour-long interview with Castillo recently.
"I can't fail my family, brother," Castillo said. "I got four boys. I don't want to fail them. I can't fail them. And that's a big incentive when you think about it. What would you do for your kids? You would kill somebody for your kids. … So that's what at stake."
Andy Reid's decision to take his offensive line coach and name him the defensive coordinator is still, to be honest, a head-scratcher. I think I speak for the majority of fans when I say I remain skeptical.
"If everybody wants to think that, that's alright with me," Castillo said. "Either way, I'm going to have to prove it."
Castillo has spent much of his life proving people wrong. But this is easily his biggest challenge. All eyes will be on the 51-year-old next season – if there's a next season, of course – and that pressure could be burdensome.
Reid didn't give Castillo much wiggle room. If the defense fails early it will only provide fuel for critics. That short leash and the lockout will likely keep Castillo from overhauling the defense. He has said as much.
But fans still want to know: How will Castillo's defense differ from that of his predecessor, Sean McDermott? We've already gotten a few clues. Castillo has said he and his staff have been simplifying the terminology. Reid has said the defensive ends, now under the stewardship of defensive line coach Jim Washburn, will often line up as nine-technique ends.
But what about an overall philosophical shift? Will the Eagles continue to implement a defense predicated on pressuring the quarterback and creating turnovers or will Castillo blitz less and have more of a bend-but-don't-break scheme? With the Eagles' quick-strike offense it would make sense to not be as aggressive on defense.
"Just because you don't blitz doesn't mean you're not being aggressive," Castillo said. "We got four good defensive linemen and on third down coach Washburn will put four guys that can rush the quarterback."
I doubt we'll see much Tampa 2 out of Castillo, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles blitz less frequently. McDermott became, in some ways, a mad scientist with his blitz packages. He was also too insistent that linebackers fill their gaps – the middle linebacker has the A and B gap, etc. – instead of letting them play instinctively.
Castillo, a former USFL linebacker, is inheriting a corp that has undergone a major transformation in the last two years. The Eagles have drafted six linebackers – Moise Fokou, Keenan Clayton, Jamar Chaney, Casey Mattews, Brian Rolle and Greg Lloyd -- in the last three drafts. Ernie Sims, Omar Gaither and Akeem Jordan remain on the roster, but they won't be back.
Stewart Bradley may be the only pre-2008 draft pick that could be back next season, but his free agency status – Will he be unrestricted or restricted in the new CBA? – could signal his end in Philadelphia.
"We have to see," Castillo said. "Stewart is still [here], so we're not sure about that. So we'll just have to see when we start what we have."
Reid has said that the Eagles are still an unfinished product, what with free agency still on hold. So Castillo doesn't really know what he will have for next season. He admitted to constructing starting 11s in his head, "but I do it with the people I have right now," he said.
So who's the right cornerback?
"There would be a little competition on the right side," Castillo said.
[Insert joke here.]
As for Castillo, he won't fail for a lack of trying. He famously works long hours and has been coming into the office at 3:30 a.m. during the off-season. He said he even plans on working a few hours a day during vacation to "get ahead."
"Everybody not like you, and you don't want them to be like you because you can't move up," Castillo said. "Everybody's not like me or coach Reid."
Hard work can go quite the distance, but it can only travel so far. There's something to be said for experience. Castillo has never called plays in the NFL. In fact, he hasn't done it at any level for over 20 years. And then there's the kind of talent that can't be taught or found 3:30 in the morning.
One of Reid's reasons for promoting Castillo is very similar to how he evaluates players. The Eagles sometimes overvalue players because of their work ethic and their enthusiasm for football. There is value there. But it's led to a few reaches in the last two drafts (see: Brandon Graham, Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, Jaiquawn Jarrett and Curtis Marsh).
Those players could end up rewarding the Eagles' faith, as could Castillo.
He may not even need to kill someone.
Castillo was thinking about someone's death, however, when he was expressing the importance of being successful and providing for his sons.
"When you die … when you're laying on that thing, you want to be able to look them in the eye and say, 'Hey, man, I did everything I could for you,'" Castillo said. "I hope when I go I can say that."

How to keep Meridian police officers is the question the MPD needs to solve. Currently 10 to 15 officers shy of the 108 he's allotted, Chief James Lee says we can fill the gap with higher pay.
"You're forced to go out and get another job, and your wife may have two jobs. You pay somebody $12.50 an hour, and this person doesn't know if he's coming home or not today," he explains.
And the City Council seems to agree. The majority of members say that for men and women who risk their lives daily, a starting salary of $24,500 a year is not enough. Some even want to look at increasing salaries in other areas like the fire department or public works. But Councilman Dustin Markham says when it comes to the MPD, it will take more than a higher salary to keep officers.
"As it relates to the cloud of negativity that we currently have over the police station, getting Civil Service back up and functioning, getting some of these hearings taken care of, I think that will go a long way in resolving some of our issues," he says.
Council President George Thomas says an increase in salaries will be looked at in the next budget, but low salaries are not to blame for retention problems.
"A lot of people were fired. That had nothing whatsoever to do with the salaries. We had certain people retire," the Council president says. "That had nothing to do with salaries. Now, will more money bring in more recruits? That's a possibility. We need to see that."
Chief Lee has also asked for at least 120 officers in next year's budget to help cut crime.
While the majority of the Council seems to agree that an officer pay raise would help both the city and police, there is a difference of opinion on whether or not making room for additional officers would also help.
The Council says the MPD first needs to reach the quota it has.

Cesar Gracie is a Bit Upset With His Cousin Renzo For Training GSP to Fight Jake Shields
(209 bros before French-Canadian foes.)
Jake Shields' coach Cesar Gracie was on Sherdog's The Savage Dog Show today and one of the topics he touched on was his disagreement with his cousin Renzo Gracie over his decision to help Georges St-Pierre prepare for his upcoming UFC 129 bout with longtime Gracie jiu-jitsu student and black belt Jake Shields this weekend.
According to Cesar, it was wrong for Renzo to help St-Pierre train as he is a relatively new student of the New York-based instructor and he feels that he should be looking out for his committed Gracie family members first and foremost.
"Renzo's like a brother to me. You gotta understand, we grew up together. We really did. So nothing's gonna change [between us]. People try to make a big thing about it. I did have a talk with Renzo and I said, "Renzo, you're training a guy that doesn't represent your academy, he represents another academy, to fight against a Gracie Academy. It doesn't make sense to me. It just doesn't Georges is a great guy.From al accounts, he's respectful and a decent human being from what I'm understanding. And I said to Renzo, 'If you had a talk with Georges St-Pierre and said, you're one of our black belts, you're going to have to represent us,'" Gracie said. "I think he would do it in a heartbeat.I did have that discussion with him, but I really don't know what came about with it. People try to make a big thing about it, but I'm an old school guy. I really am. When Georges St-Pierre was training at Renzo's to fight Matt Serra, who I think was the first black belt Renzo gave out in the U.S… I couldn't imagine a guy coming in and training with me to beat one of my black belts. I just couldn't do it. I don't know exactly what they're doing over there with that, but it's just not my way. I'm old school and I'm gonna die old school. That's just how I am. So I made my feelings known to Renzo about it and I don't think my guys appreciate it. Frankie Edgar's there too and he's a really great kid. He came out to my place and he's a really hard worker. He came out to train for the BJ Penn fight. I refused to have my guys train with BJ for that fight and they had trained with him for the Florian fight and maybe one fight before that fight when BJ needed help and was trying to get his career back on track. Nick Diaz was training with BJ Penn and there was good sparring. They called us up to train with him for the last Edgar fight and we said no, because he was fighting a kid who represented the Gracie Academy in New York. I'm old school, but now with this fight…It's not about teaching a guy, because they're professional athletes and they're gonna have to fight. They didn't grow up together or nothing like that. But me being an old school guy, I just look at it like you gotta carry our flag to battle and if you can't carry our flag to battle, you aren't training with us. It's just how I look at it."Read More DIGG THIS

Borussia Dortmund's chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has said that if on-loan Liverpool midfielder Nuri Sahin wants to come and play for the Bundesliga Champions, then, they may consider an approach.
Sahin played for BVB before moving to Real Madrid in 2011, but struggled to cement his place in the first team and is now on loan at the Reds.
The playmaker has found it difficult to adapt to life in both England and Spain and Watzke has said Dortmund would think about bringing Sahin back to the club, if the Turkey international showed his desire to play for them.
"I told him: If he comes to me and says, he doesn't want anything else than playing in Dortmund, we will think about this issue. But it has to be feasible," he told Bild.
The German champions have also sold on other players such as Shinji Kagawa and striker Lucas Barrios in recent times and the chief executive believes as well as Sahin that the duo are not currently as happy as they were when playing for BVB.
He added: "Which player, who has left us is happier now, Kagawa? Sahin? Barrios? no one."
Watzke also says that goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller is one of the finest in world football and thinks he should play more for the national side.
He continued: "The problem is we don't decide [who plays for Germany] but Joachim Low should know that Dortmund have a goalkeeper of world-class [abillity]."
Finally, the chief executive mused on Mario Gotze, saying that the club have no intention of selling the playmaker.
He said: "Mario says he will not change the club any time soon, his management says the same and we would not let him leave."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Candidates in the closely watched Senate race in Arkansas sparred after Republican Rep. Tom Cotton said Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor believes "faith is something that only happens at 11 o'clock on Sunday mornings."
Pryor accused Cotton of attacking his faith. "I'm disappointed in Congressman Cotton's deeply personal attack on me," Pryor said in a statement. "He and I may disagree on issues, but for him to question my faith is out of bounds."
The two-term senator talks often about his faith and quotes from the Bible during campaign appearances. He made his faith the centerpiece of an ad last year: "I'm not ashamed to say that I believe in God," Pryor said in the spot, which showed him holding a Bible. "And I believe in his word."
Cotton, a freshman congressman, made the remarks in a television interview Tuesday when he was asked about Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case that family-owned companies don't have to provide insurance coverage for contraception. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties objected to the requirement under the president's health care law on religious grounds.
Cotton said the ruling showed the health care law infringed on Arkansans' liberties. "Barack Obama and Mark Pryor think that faith is something that only happens at 11 o'clock on Sunday mornings," Cotton told KNWA. "That's when we worship, but faith is what we live every single day, and the government shouldn't infringe on the rights of religious liberty."
Later, Cotton said in a statement that his comments were directed at the federal health law and not at Pryor's faith.
"Senator Pryor is a man of faith and practices it with commendable openness, which I respect, but I wish he would respect Arkansans' right to practice our faith," Cotton said.
The increasingly expensive race in Arkansas is closely watched because Republicans need to gain six seats in November to capture majority control of the Senate. Top-tier GOP targets are the Republican-leaning Southern states — Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina — where Obama is unpopular and incumbent Democratic senators are struggling to hold onto their seats.
The two Arkansas campaigns squabbled earlier this year over Cotton's Army service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pryor said in an interview with NBC in March that Cotton's military service alone wasn't a qualification to serve in the Senate, though Pryor said he respected Cotton's service.
"In the Senate, we have all kinds of different people, all kinds of different folks who come from different backgrounds," Pryor said. "And I think that's part of this sense of entitlement, that he gives off, that almost is like, I served my country, therefore let me into the Senate. That's not the way it works in Arkansas."
Cotton later released an ad that mentioned Pryor's comments and featured comments from Cotton's drill sergeant.
Associated Press writer Tom Beaumont contributed to this report.

Marina Real Estate
The Marina District is an enclave of luxurious homes and some of the city's trendiest shops and restaurants. The neighborhood sits on the site of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, staged after the 1906 earthquake to celebrate the reemergence of the city. Aside from the Palace of Fine Arts, all other buildings were demolished to create a neighborhood that features stately homes and trendy apartments. Union is arguably the best street in the city to window-shop or enjoy one of the hip neighborhood shops or cafes. A few blocks down, Chestnut has an incredible variety of high-quality restaurants catering to every palate and Fort Mason hosts a bounty of cultural museums and nonprofits.

The Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois was the first in the U.S. to establish a program in companion animal biology, out of a desire to serve those students more interested in companion animals as compared with livestock or poultry.
Today, our Companion Animal Biology and Humane Education program provides training in the basic sciences of companion animals as well as the human-animal interactions that so strongly affect our lives and society.
Our research program focuses heavily on nutrition and has made monumental contributions to the pet food industry. Our teaching and research programs are complemented by an active outreach component that focuses on promoting responsible and humane animal care. Ultimately, our students are provided with the tools necessary to pursue a diverse range of careers related to companion animals.

Between the upcoming release of iOS 7, which introduces third-party gaming controller standards, and a new generation of Wi-Fi, Apple will have the necessary tools to full-on compete against Sony and Microsoft in the console gaming market. The timing couldn't be better for Apple, considering Sony and Microsoft won't be releasing their next generation consoles until the holiday season – right after iOS 7 goes live.
This rumour has been circulating for so long with such little basis I am bored at the thought of it.
The author AppleTV-99 bucks then an Idevice which costs as much as a system with the games we know n love. HHmm..no
How long have people been asking this question still nothing is shown to back it up. Ios doesn't have good enough games to take over any console market not even mobile imo. Also Ios 7 takes a lot of things from android and is behind too me. Also with the new key lime pie android coming out soon IOS 7 won't even be a big deal as much as apple makes it out be.
These games are popular because they are convenient and simple. No way I would but when I could simply swipe on my phone. Next gen console is the only systems I want on my tv.
I can see it now. A 1200$ console. 200$ controllers. 90$ per game. $100 online fee. $100 needed cables that don't come with the console to connect to the tv applecrap-hdmi. Etc.

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
shinji wrote:
One of the most requested features is now available to all users – My Queue. With that, you can better manage shows that interest you. On every show page, you will see an "Add To Queue" button. On every episode page, you will see an "Add Series To Queue" button. To access My Queue page, just click the username drop down on top of every page. We will roll out My Queue to our mobile apps as well.
Please be aware, as part of this effort to improve your user experience, we will decommission Watchlist and Favorites on September 1, 2011. If you have been using either to manage your queue, there are buttons on both pages that allow you to add shows to your queue easily.
Have fun and enjoy watching more videos!
Does that also include out favourite buddies and groups? O.o or only the things related to our fav shows and stuff?
Rewatching » CCS ♡
If it is not broke do not fix it. Wise words that have been ignored by someone yet again.
"Have fun and enjoy watching more videos!"
Looks like I will be having less fun and watching less videos with this system.
Every Gundam series is the best Gundam series
It would be nice to have the episode numbers listed on the queue (as it is in the Watchlist) so I can see what episode is next rather than having to play it to find out. Oh, and maybe an alert whenever there's a new episode. Also, a section where "finished" anime would be listed is useful.
I'm also wondering if the Queue will have a profile display like Watchlist does.
Other than that, I never really used Favorites so I think this'll be an easier way to watch the shows that I watch regularly. Thanks for the updates.
A few comments:
(1) An "add all to queue" in the watchlist page would have been nice. I had to go through it one by one to transfer titles over.
(2) The queue lacks info the watchlist page has -- please consider putting at least the status (watching, plan to watch, finished, etc.) and number of episodes watched (and total for the series) into the queue page.
(3) Seeing the whole queue on one page is nicer than the 10-titles-at-a-time watchlist I've been looking at, but the lack of info compared to the watchlist means I'm not really liking it right now.
(4) I haven't tried using the "Play" or "Play Next" buttons, but considering some series I've already started watching say "Play" and not "Play Next", including at least one for which I see episodes watched in my history, I doubt these work correctly. Similarly, it's hard to know where you left off in a series without the episodes watched number noted in (2) above.
The idea of the queue seems good, but I think the current implementation is lacking in some respects. Please consider the feedback in this thread and try to use it to improve the queue page. Thanks.
Can there be an "add all to queue" button? I have almost a hundred titles in my watchlist, meticulously sorted by ANN bayesian estimate.
I really like the idea of being able to see everything on one page, maybe with a "currently watching" section at the top and a "finished" section at the bottom. I hope everyone's feedback gets addressed before we're forced to switch over, people are bringing up a lot of legitimate issues.
I really like this system as long as they keep working to improve it. Things that I would need to have it be worth using:
1. Show which episode the system thinks you are on from the main My Queue page and a way to change it if it is wrong.
2. Put in the time when the next episode is available or if it is already available.
3. Be able to add to the queue from the anime listings page instead of having to go into each series to add it.
4. Not really a big deal but right now it doesn't work for me if you try to change your rating for something from the My Queue page.
Favorites is likely to be replaced by a list of shows you've rated. So there'll be your Queue/History and then your Favorites/Rated shows. This should encompass most of the features from the watch list and favorite list.
Former Crunchyroll Employee
yea i really dislike it as well. its a step up but at the same time a whole another step down. i like my favorite system it lets me know what i have seen before. people always ask me what to what and the favorite list is what i always turn to, to give suggestions. o well guess i'll just use some other site to sort all of my anime.
on my way to my DREAMS- your smile - through food
I would imagine ideally this would probably work like the Netflix instant queue, which would mean there is no reason for a "watch, watch next, etc" since it being in the queue means you are going to watch it, and each episode should drop off the queue after being watched, or you can manually remove it after you've done so, or it might have a time stamp as to when you last watched it, or if it at all.
I could see then how this feature could replace a watch list, except for the "this is what I've watched" feature, but not a favorites list. I have my own way of tracking my collection and what not so this feature isn't interesting to me, but I can't see trashing the favorites list along with the watchlist and replacing it with only the queue.
One issue I would point out with a favorite list being "shows you've rated" is that the second a title is added people start rating the show already. Stuff for previous seasons, even a week before the first ep was aired had a bunch of 5 star ratings, can't say that's the same as a favorite, and why shows can be rated before they even air is beyond me. Should just be a simple button that allows you to add the show to favorites from the show page or the queue.. the overall show rating the user gives can follow it onto the favorites page and allow them to rate from there... but shows you've rated, and then I'm assuming ranking them on that rating... like I said, people around here tend to rank stuff before they've seen it.
So far behind on anime... need to catch up
It's convenient enough, but the design is hideous! And there are some features that I think would be great additions:
Series thumbnails (Watchlist had this)
Series comments (Watchlist had this)
Also, I was surprised to find that Infinite Stratos (in my Favorites) was eligible for the Queue. Could CR be planning to add this series to their lineup? Omoshire...
fair enough i guess, but series like Junjou Romantica don't have a 'add to queue' button, so i can't keep track of what i'm actually watching right now..
You'll Leave Me Alone In This Darkness - Left Alone To Hold Out Against The Tide
A lot of shows dont have a add to queue button
Super special awesome!
Favorites is likely to be replaced by a list of shows you've rated. So there'll be your Queue/History and then your Favorites/Rated shows. This should encompass most of the features from the watch list and favorite list.
But this not there now (or I missed it), yet Favourite button is gone. Only have Add to Queue button now.
There's a 5 star rating showing for each show I added to my Queue, BUT, it's the rank overall from everyone (for the SERIES or an EPISODE? Not clear!!), not what I ranked it as. You can rate it but it still shows the overall, not what you pick.
