Door closer enhances interiors at prestigious hotel
HomeDoor ClosersPerko Powermatic Case StudiesFarnham When renowned architects, Project Orange wanted to create a more relaxed atmosphere in the rooms of a prestigious new hotel in the Republic of Ireland, they turned to Perko Powermatic® for the solution.
The prestigious new hotel forms part of a multi-million Euro spa development set in the grounds of a refurbished stately home in Ireland.
The Farnham Estate Health Spa offers peaceful and luxurious surroundings in which guests can escape from the pressures of modern life. The facilities are complemented by a new 158-room hotel, which is managed by the Radisson SAS group, a departure from the company’s usual city developments.
Project Orange of London were the architects who created the hotel’s stunning interiors. James Soane of Project Orange explains why they chose Perko Powermatic®, “Attention to detail was paramount and this extended to the doors. We could have used surface mounted door closers, but this would have given rooms the appearance of offices and detracted from the homely, relaxing ambience that we wanted to create.
“Perko Powermatic® gave us the ideal solution and we insisted on its use. It provided the levels of fire performance and durability essential for the application and, most of all, it is totally concealed when the door is closed, enabling us to maintain a clean, unhindered appearance to the door and, ultimately, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the room.”
In addition to excellent technical performance attributes, which include comprehensive fire door accreditations and the capability to comply with Approved Document M, the fact that Perko Powermatic® is jamb-mounted means that it is totally concealed when the door is closed. It is this concealment that delivers a number of additional benefits, including enhanced aesthetics, reduced risk of vandalism and anti-ligature potential, making the closer ideal for a wide variety of situations in hotel, leisure, commercial, education and health care projects. | http://www.samuel-heath.co.uk/door-closers/perko-powermatic-case-studies/farnham/ | 1,495,557,920 | 1,495,474,977 |

$50 special-edition rerelease of Naughty Dog's award-winning action adventure includes $35 worth of DLC; 3.8 million sales milestone surpassed. Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was widely regarded as one of the best games of 2009, securing accolades that ranged from GameSpot's Best Action Adventure to Game of the Year at the 10th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards. It comes as no surprise, then, that Sony and Naughty Dog will be teaming up to rerelease the top-rated PlayStation 3-exclusive, announcing today that the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Game of the Year Edition will be available October 12.
The Uncharted 2: GOTY Edition will cost $49.99, but it will include more than just the award-winning game. Gamers will also be given a "super voucher," which allows them to download $35 worth of add-on content from the PlayStation Network.

The reliable backup singer who seizes the spotlight is the stuff of entertainment-industry fairy tales, but Kelly Hogan hasn't actually had to labor in obscurity. She's spent the last decade or so as a high-profile accompanist for the likes of Jakob Dylan and Neko Case; the three of them even played a Tiny Desk Concert together a couple years ago, and it's not as if Hogan had to sing behind a curtain like Debbie Reynolds in Singin' in the Rain. Hogan is no household name, but she had little trouble inspiring a load of terrific songwriters to contribute a dozen custom-made compositions for her new album. That record, I Like to Keep Myself in Pain — a title it shares with the Robyn Hitchcock song she performs here — exudes confidence and unflappable professionalism. And, naturally, that carries over to this performance in the NPR Music offices, as Hogan and her ace band knock out three songs with seeming effortlessness and easygoing charm. Hogan took 11 years off between her last solo record and I Like to Keep Myself in Pain, in large part because she's been working constantly with other musicians — ironically, their constant demand for her work has helped keep her from seizing the spotlight. Seeing her in action, both in performance and as a calming presence in a chaotic room both before and afterward, it's easy to see why her collaborators never want to let her go: You can't go wrong surrounding yourself with oases of calm competence, especially when they bring cupcakes to share and sing as beautifully as Hogan does here.Set List: "Haunted" "Plant White Roses" "I Like To Keep Myself In Pain" Credits: Producer: Stephen Thompson; Editor and Videographer: Michael Katzif; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; photo by Michael Katzif/NPRCopyright 2012 National Public Radio.

purplefrog11-26-2006, 11:22 PMI suspect Amare will have some great games, but as the season goes on and on I think those 82 games will likely take their toll. Let's see what happens when we get closer to playoff time.

you couldn't of watched many suns games lately
the suns have improved quite abit defensively since a poor start
In the last eight games, the Suns have allowed 97.4 points per game, and teams have hit just 45 percent of their shots. Phoenix’s record: 7-1.
opponents scored 111.7 points and shot 48.9 percent from the field in Phoenix’s first six games. The Suns’ record: 1-5. | http://www.dallas-mavs.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-27720.html | 1,495,817,450 | null |

It's 1:01 a.m. in St. Louis, and so begins the mass exodus to the Rocket Bar. Or, sadly, so began. If you weren't there already, it was always the next place to go until it was the only place to go. But as of December 31, 2004, it was no longer a place to go. There are plenty of tales about why the Rocket crashed -- one for every scenester who lost his or her favorite hangout. But the whys don't matter once the waaahs kick in, and they did, in full effect, at 3:01 a.m. on January 1. No longer could teams of hipsters parade around the slinking bar, one eye upturned as a slew of local and nationally touring indie bands took the stage, the other wrestling with the door, ready to pounce on the next arrival. The Rocket Bar was a great rock & roll club, and if rock & roll has taught us anything, it is that it's better to die before your time and live on as myth than to succumb to the beast of years as it slowly gnaws at your vitality and relevance. Far better to remember Kurt Cobain as a youthful, brilliant madman than as the bloated junkie he surely would have become. Rest in peace, then, dear Rocket Bar. You will be missed, but we will tend very well to your legend. | http://www.riverfronttimes.com/bestof/2005/award/best-club-to-die-in-the-past-12-months-37185/ | 1,495,913,752 | 1,495,910,142 |

Re: wood duck houses
by troutbum43 » Tue Nov 15, 2011 10:47 am ... _plans.pdfHere are some plans, and a link to some more info. The DU site is helpful tooThis link is an oldie but a goodie, will give you details on how high to place boxes, how to align with sunlight two pieces of advice are to resist the urge to place them close together. This will result in dump nesting, abandoned nest, and lower you success rate. Place them at least a quarter mile apart. With these boxes less can really be more, hens are territorial and will defend their nesting territory. You won't get two hens nesting 50 yards apart, one hen will dump nest the other and you will end up with 18 eggs, only 10 of which can be incubated and the hen nesting will waste energy trying to shift and rotate that many eggs. Second piece and to me most critical is make sure you follow through each February by prepping the boxes for the hens putting in shavings, removing last years nest debris and so on. Check your predator guards and make sure they are working. Before you know if you'll have a successfull little program to enjoy!

Home equity loans are often touted as being the solution to so many things – giving you access to money for home repairs or improvements, a way to consolidate debt, finance a sudden family emergency, or even as a way to start an investment portfolio. There’s a lot to think about, though, before you go and sign up for the first home equity loan you see. A home equity loan is like a second mortgage on your home. If your home is currently worth $130,000, and you have a mortgage against it for $70,000, then you have $60,000 of equity available. Some home equity loans may allow you to borrow up to 80% of your home’s value, others may go higher in special circumstances. In this example, you would be able to borrow another $34,000 as a home equity loan and still have only borrowed 80%.
So the first step is to get a reasonably good idea of what your home is worth on the market. Your friendly realtor may help with this, but be aware that sometimes they can inflate the value in the hope of getting your business. You can also look at what price similar houses close by have sold for. Or you can pay a qualified valuer to assess your home.
Now you have a starting figure, you can work out how much equity you have in your home. The other important figure to work out is how much you need for whatever purpose you have in mind. Hopefully that works out to be less than the equity available! It’s even better if it’s less than 80% of the available equity.
At this point it’s important not to get carried away. It can be all too easy to say, well, I have $50,000 available and I really only need $30,000 to complete the repairs, so why not borrow $40,000 and blow the rest on a holiday? Remember – the more you borrow, the more it will cost you in repayments. It’s very easy to borrow too much, only to find yourself struggling to meet the payments and maybe even losing your home.
You also need to decide what type of home equity loan you want. There are two main types – a closed end loan and a line of credit. A closed end loan is basically the same as a standard home mortgage – you borrow the amount for a set period of time, and make payments over time to gradually pay off the balance.
A line of credit, on the other hand, is like having a credit card with a big limit. Some banks will require you to make minimum payments each month, others only require payments if you’re at your limit. Either way, the loan will only be for a set period of time, and at the end of that you will either have to extend the time period or refinance the loan with another lender. This type of facility can be useful if you’re disciplined with your money, but if you’re the type of person whose credits cards are always at their limits, it may not be a good idea at all to have ready access to such a large amount of credit.
Next, you need to work out how long you want to borrow the money for. This will vary depending on how much money you are borrowing, the type of home equity loan and how much you can afford to pay. There are lots of good mortgage calculators online that can help you to work this out. If borrowing the money over 5 years for a closed end loan means you won’t be able to meet the payments, then see if spreading the loan over 10 years becomes more affordable for you. You will pay more in the long run, but at least you won’t default on your loan.
When you know what you want, it’s time to go and find it! It may be worth starting with banks recommended to you by friends and family – at least they’ll be able to give feedback on their experiences. You can also shop around online, looking for the best deal.
Finally, when you have chosen the loan you want and are ready to proceed, do two more things. Firstly, check for fees. Banks are aware of the need to be competitive, and will often avoid charging up front fees for that reason. However it’s amazing what can be hidden in the fine print of a contract. So read any loan documents thoroughly before signing. If you can, get the contract explained to you by your legal advisor. Home equity loans can be a wonderful tool when used correctly. Do your homework first, find the loan that best matches what you want, and go for it. Just make sure you don’t over extend yourself or sign documents that will give you nightmares forever.

» Sat Jan 19, 2013 4:34 am @jayderyuYou might like to try out my PhotonDemo/PhotonPlayer plugin (see my post of 7 July 2012) - it still works with the latest version of the Photon (local) server. Feel feel to play around with my plugin code.My challenge (@Taurian's original challenge!) is to get it working with the Photon Cloud, using Photon's just updated JavaScript library. But for me, that's going to have to wait till I'm back from holiday in the summer sun and surf, doing my best over the next two weeks to keep away from pesky digital devices.

This release mainly focuses on stability. CamiTK 3.5.0 does not have many new features, but fixes a lot of bugs and misbehaviors.
FYI, the next CamiTK version would be 4.0, a new major version and should be available very soon (spring 2016).
CamiTK 4.0 will upgrade all the main dependencies: it will be based on Qt 5, VTK 6, ITK 4 and cmake 3.
The supported compilers (gcc and MSVC) will also be upgraded to ensure C++11 compatibility.
CamiTK 4.0 SDK is expected to be backward compatible with versions 3.x (apart from the minimal changes in headers due to the dependency upgrades). | https://forge.imag.fr/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3176&forum_id=537&group_id=184 | 1,495,865,059 | null |

It’s a casual night at Casa Del Popolo, sitting side by side with punk-rock band Priests. Grunge music is playing in the background and sandwiches are being ordered as the band awaits their moment to shine on stage. On Jan. 27, Priests released their first full-length album, Nothing Feels Natural, under their own label, Sister Polygon Records.The album brings punk-rock back to life with its raucous guitar sounds and post garage-rock aesthetic. It’s the soundtrack that will take you back to the CBGB days in New York City. These post-punkers have made Montreal the third stop of their North American tour. “Are winters always this cold over here?” asked bassist Taylor Mulitz.
Priests lineup consists of Daniele Daniele on drums, Katie Alice Greer on vocals, G.L Jaguar on guitar and Mulitz on bass. The band was founded in Washington, D.C. back in 2012 when Daniele moved there for grad school. “I had just started to play drums and I wanted to keep playing. I was on the lookout and met Katie at a show. We ran into G.L Jaguar at the next show and decided to start a band,” said Daniele. Initially, they played shows as a trio until they decided to add a new member. “G.L Jaguar met Taylor, our bassist, and he joined us a year later,” said Daniele. Irony stems from their band name, as there is nothing priest-like about them or their music. “At first, it was kind of a joke, because none of us could be priests. I’m Jewish, the other two are women and Taylor is also Jewish” said Jaguar.
According to Jaguar, the band felt they urgently needed to start making music. They felt frustrated about the political issues arising at that time, and decided to take part in the Occupy Wall Street movement. The Occupy Wall Street was a movement against social and economic inequality worldwide. “We had to make music and couldn’t imagine not doing it. We were in weird places in our lives,” said Jaguar. “Our first show was in a living room and our second show was at Occupy D.C which was part of the whole Occupy movement.” According to Greer, everything is political and her personal feelings are political, which is the meta theme of Nothing Feels Natural. “Now that we’re in the era of Trump, people look back at Obama and think, ‘Ah, sunny times,’ when those times for us were very dark in a lot of ways. The main themes of the album revolve around anxiety, depression or defeat, and trying to find a way forward,” said Daniele.
The album’s lyrics represent the personal-political theme through their metaphoric storylines. “There’s a lot of frustration that we are working out through playing music. It’s cathartic. It makes sense that sometimes, when you are writing lyrics, you use it as a way to escape that and create a narrative that isn’t about your own life,” said Mulitz. For instance, their track “Lelia 20” was written from the point of view of the movie character Lelia from the movie Shadows, a film by John Cassavetes. “Katie was writing the song from the perspective of this character at age 20. If you listen to the lyrics, people understand them in such different ways because they are political,” said Mulitz.

In terms of the creative process, it is lead singer Greer who writes all the lyrics, and the band as a whole works together on the instrumentals. “Katie has notebooks filled with lyrics, and then we come to practice different riffs together that we compose individually,” said Mulitz. However, the song “No Big Bang,” was written by Daniele—it is a song about insomnia. “Most times, I can’t sleep because my brain would just keep going. Even if I want to rest, if I have an idea that really grabs me, I just can’t stop obsessing over it,” said Daniele. She said finding an idea that excites you can bring forth creativity in a lot of ways, but the flipside is you risk getting trapped in your own mind. “Ideas can spiral out of control,” said Daniele.
In Priests’ music video “JJ”, the bandmates are filmed one by one as their faces and upper bodies are touched by the others without their ability to stop it. What inspired the “JJ” music video was their low budget. “It was a very cheap way to make something visually effective. I saw that in a Kanye West music video and thought it was a great effect,” said Greer.
Greer went on to express how people have tenuous relationships with how they’re being perceived, as we exist in a world where so many conversations happen on social media. “Conversations through performance can be useful when you connect with people, but it can constantly make you so aware of yourself. I think a video like this one, where you see these faceless hands touching you, mirrors feelings like that,” said Greer.
According to Daniele, Nothing Feels Natural was a hard album to make and it took them a long time to finalize it. “We’ve been writing this album for three years. We first started recording it a year and a half ago,” said Daniele. Priests have been playing these songs for a while, but this tour is the first time they’ve noticed people are connecting with their music in a meaningful way. “It’s more than just, ‘Oh, yeah this is cool music!’ This time, people know the songs, they are able to connect with them,” said Jaguar. “The excitement of someone knowing the song and being excited about it in return makes me way more excited on stage,” said Daniele.
Priests have the simple goal of making a living out of music. When it comes to the music they make, “we don’t ever want to settle in one place. We’ve always been a dynamic band,” said Greer. “I think we all dream and hope for consistent evolution. We are aesthetically restless.”

January has arrived like a lion. A purple lion. The Rainbow Scrappy Challenge has begun again so let the fun begin. You can find out about other clever purple projects over at Angela's blog SoScrappy.
Last year I fizzled out a bit with RSC16. But a nice feature of this challenge is that you can fill in missing pieces over the new year. The Rainbow Fish are from my first year participating in this challenge.
This origami crane quilt was also made during the first year I participated.
And unfortunately, that was also the year that another participant made rainbow cats and through some strange warp in the quilt field, kittens from her cats showed up in my sewing room. I had to contain them in a quilt just to keep them from wrecking the place. Posted by

Recently I came across the idea of 'parenting cards' which are little daily reminders of how to understand or treat our children. I decided to make some so I can randomly choose one each morning and try to remember it and act upon it throughout the day.They have challenged me to slow down and think about ...:: How I spend my time at home with my children:: How I react when something goes wrong:: How I physically and verbally show them how much I love them:: How I am affecting the way my children see the world:: Whether I am a positive or negative influence on their lives...and so much more.I certainly haven't got it sorted...just this morning I had to hold myself from getting frustrated at MJ for making a mess with the muffin mixture when really he was being a two year old who was trying hard to be helpful.My aims for becoming the wife, mother, daughter and friend that I desire to be are to...:: Be gentle and not pushy:: Be slow, thoughtful and considerate:: Bring comfort and happiness:: Listen without being distracted.I have alot of work to do!

A raft of new initiatives debuted by regional veterans such as Yu Dong and Bill Kong look to support fresh filmmaking voices from Asia.
While Filmsrt has traditionally been about trading bankable films, this year’s event has also been marked by a number of new initiatives shaped to nurture industry newcomers for the future.
Launched in a lavish ceremony and press conference Tuesday, the First Feature Film Initiative aims at finding and training new blood for Hong Kong’s film industry. The scheme takes the form of grants for aspiring filmmakers to make their first feature, with a maximum of $645,000 (HK$5 million) given to the winner of the professional category and $258,000 (HK$2 million) each for the two winners in the category for participants still studying in local higher education institutions.

Unlike many first-feature project competitions provided by festivals such as Busan and Rotterdam, the initiative has overtly highlighted the commercial nature of the prospective entries, with the goal of the exercise being to bestow participants with practical knowledge about how to make and then market a film.
“The initiative aims to help promote the long-term development of the film industry,” said Jack So Chak-kwong, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Development Council, which runs the Hong Kong Film Development Fund.
The fund itself has already helped launch the careers of several directors, with money going into the directorial debuts of award-winning screenwriter Ivy Ho Pik-mun (), Chris Chow () and the filmmaking team of Derek Tsang and Jimmy Wan ().
The launch of this government backed initiative follows the announcement of a Emperor-Star collaboration called Go Local!, which will see the two companies pledging to co-produce no less than ten films. The first five will be overseen by Chapman To, the actor who has helped shepherd films by Heiward Mak ().

Another fund, The Chinese Film Development Award, backed by the Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum and Fox International Productions, is now in its second year of existence.
Five finalists have been selected, with the directors invited to present their projects to an influential panel that includes Bona Film boss Yu Dong, Hong Kong director-producer Fruit Chan and Taiwanese agent-director Rachel Chen. The winner will be given $12,900 (HK$100,000) and a development contract with Fox, with the four finalists offered a first-look agreement.
Meanwhile, established auteurs in the region have also contributed to this drive in cultivating new directors. Jia Zhangke, for example, established the Wings Project three years ago in order to finance and produce output from younger filmmakers. Since then, four productions were completed: Damien Ounouri’s , Song Fang’s , Quan Ling’s and Han Jie’s , all of which are screening at the Hong Kong International Film Festival this year.
At Filmart, new projects such as and offer a blueprint for first-time directors on how to make their debuts.
The former is the first feature film directed by Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts graduate Kiwi Chow Kwun-wai, and is presented by Johnnie To and Bill Kong. It marks the unprecedented alliance of To’s Milkyway Image and Kong’s Edko Films, , the directorial debut of Flora Lau, is produced and distributed by Nansun Shi, the chairman of the Bona-owned Distribution Workshop.

Hmmmmmmm. That’s me breathing a huge sigh of relief. My hosting and server woes have now been resolved. I’m back to normal. If I could ever be normal. Hahaha. So I asked myself what do I do today?
Window surf shopping for my camera accessory won hands down. So I got down and did a mad search for some pretty and chic Sony Cybershot camera case.

During these tough economic times, I have always had the peace of mind that only Gray's Papaya was able to provide (for those outside New York City, Gray's Papaya is famous for its very inexpensive, high-quality hot dogs). The "recession special", two hot dogs and a papaya juice for $3.50, meant that no matter what happened in the economy, I was only a few blocks away from hot dog salvation. No more (hat tip to the beautiful Laura R... via the NY Times):This week, the special will rise to $4.45 from $3.50, Mr. Gray said.“Tell them I’m weeping as I do it,” he said, adding, “My prices are very low and my rents are very high, so I have a problem.” Mr. Gray blamed the rising wholesale cost of food, and lamented the price increase’s timing, which he called “the worst.”A recession special ~50% more expensive than just four years ago as we head into a rough recession. That truly is the "the worst" "the wurst" news I've heard all week.

After a long series of delays, BP says it plans to launch its "top kill" operation on Wednesday, the latest in a series of attempts to stop the gush of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Along with this injection of "drilling mud," the company could also try plugging the well's blowout preventer with junk such as golf balls and shredded tires. And if that doesn't work—well, who knows?
Josh Levin
Josh Levin is Slate’s editorial director.
At Slate, we figured that the who might very well be one of you: our genius readers. Last week, we asked you to submit your ideas for how to stop or contain the oil spill. Some of the 161 responses advocated using BP executives to plug the hole or deploying an army of ShamWows to mop up the mess. After separating out the comedians, I divided our entries into categories and passed them along to a bunch of oil spill experts: Merv Fingas, the author of The Basics of Oil Spill Cleanup; Dr. Gerald Graham, the president of Worldocean Consulting, a Canadian firm that works on oil-spill-response planning; and an oil-and-gas-engineering consultant who wished to remain anonymous. I also consulted with InnoCentive, which uses crowd-sourcing to help corporations like Procter & Gamble and nonprofits like the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative find solutions to hard-to-solve problems. (Like Slate, InnoCentive is asking its community of "solvers" to find solutions to the BP oil spill.)
Advertisement Your suggestions ranged from a boycott of BP ("No one in the U.S. should buy any BP gasoline until they have the mess cleaned up") to complex engineering solutions ("Get a cone style drilling robot that turns like a drill and opens like a bell end spreader for a pipe"). Fingas and the anonymous consultant weren't terribly enthused about any of the concepts brought forward by Slate readers. "Not one of these is a practical solution or hasn't been tried already," said Fingas, while the anonymous consultant explains via e-mail that "BP is not that dumb, and the public … are not as smart as they think they are."
Graham and the InnoCentive crew—including program manager Dr. Michael J. Albarelli, who has previously led InnoCentive's collaborations with the Oil Spill Recovery Institute—were more bullish. Another thing Graham and InnoCentive have in common: Both say they've been unable to get BP's ear. While BP has encouraged the general public to send in ideas, InnoCentive CEO Dwayne Spradlin says "the open call alone is not sufficient. You've got to provide feedback and technical data and what you're seeing on the ground." Without a call for more specific suggestions—for example, asking the public for help on the problem of hydrates mucking up BP's containment dome—the company is essentially asking people to make blind guesses.
One thing we do know is that BP is aware of the ideas suggested by Slate readers to contain the oil that's already leaked. One popular strategy was to absorb the oil using materials ranging from hay to wool to discarded cotton. Other commenters suggested using repellents (Erick Tatro, for one, suggested using "the concepts of hydrophobicity-based liquid chromatography") and shipping in oil-eating bacteria, a concept favored by Worldocean Consulting's Graham. (Albarelli notes that bioremediation "only works at warmer temperatures so only on the surface and on beaches.")
The majority of our readers focused on techniques for closing off the leak. Lots of people thought we should try to blow something up. "Would a well-placed Navy torpedo create enough debris to clog the hole?" Slate editor David Plotz wondered. The commenter "JohnGalt," among others, endorsed the nuclear option, explaining that "[w]e have some fairly clean nuclear devices these days."* Albarelli argues that these should be options of last resort—that "there are no do-overs" if, say, a torpedo hits the wrong spot. Environmentally conscious types might also have a problem with detonating a nuclear weapon: "How many whales, Kemp's Ridley turtles, dolphins, etc. do you want to kill?" asks our anonymous consultant.
Advertisement Other folks, like the commenter "Garrett," suggested freezing the pipe using something like liquid nitrogen. Another Slate reader, "CAP," advocates using the methane hydrate crystals that mucked up the containment dome to plug the wellhead. The issues here, according to Albarelli, are getting the freezing agent underwater and ensuring the oil and/or the methane hydrate crystals stay frozen. (The anonymous consultant isn't confident about keeping the crystals crystallized, explaining that "hydrates melt at 70 [degrees Fahrenheit] and 1,000 psi and at lower temperatures as the pressure decreases.")
Another commonly suggested fix was to somehow crimp the pipe shut. The problem here, as the consultant says, is that unless the crimping seals the pipe, "you have just made the leak worse." The pipe-crimping suggestions, as well as what InnoCentive has taken to calling angioplasty solutions—inserting some kind of inflated plug into the pipe—are both instances where BP could be more helpful in providing data, as potential fixes are dependent on pressure and temperature.
Albarelli liked John Calafin's idea for an expanding plug—"taking a non-Newtonian fluid (i.e., cornstarch and water) and forcing it into the chamber holding the oil … like Stop Leak for your cars radiator, but on a much more massive scale." (The consultant pointed out that this is basically what BP's planned top kill is doing.) InnoCentive was also impressed with Brad Clopton's notion of "insert[ing] an extrusion pipe loaded with a compressed plug that would expand against the inside of the pipe," calling it "one of the more unique solutions we've seen."
Adding an external shutoff valve to the pipe would be a mean feat, but how could you pull it off? A commenter named Adrian suggests "wrap[ping] a rubber coupling around the pipe fitting with heavy clamps" and attaching a hose and a valve to the other end. The potential problem here is finding materials that can withstand the massive pressure. "A rubber hose and clamp might not be sufficient," Albarelli says.
If all else fails, we could always try to bury the leak. Slate readers suggested covering the busted well with concrete or a massive ship hull. Worldocean Consulting's Graham favors this idea, suggesting that a barge could smother the leaks. InnoCentive's Albarelli counters that you "would still need to get the oil out and to the surface," while the consultant notes that you'd be replicating the problems of BP's original containment dome—a barge, too, would fill with hydrates. There's also the risk of damaging the well by dropping a massive object, nor would it be easy to anchor the concrete (or the barge) so it doesn't get dislodged by the massive pressure from the spewing oil.
How about using submarines? Commenter Justin Medeiros recommends a fleet of "subs that take in oiled sea water and run it through a centrifuge to separate the two." An interesting thought, says Albarelli, but probably not timely considering that someone would need to build such an armada of undersea, oil-skimming vehicles. InnoCentive and our anonymous consultant were both intrigued by the e-mailer who wrote into Slate's Explainer inbox recommending that BP commandeer the submersibles used to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. "I would like to go down in one and take a look around," wrote the consultant, who called this "the only good idea" on our list.
Several Slate readers sent in ideas that wouldn't require any engineering. A commenter who goes by "Amy" wrote that "[t]here is one simple answer, and it will warm the hearts of every American—BP offers to pay for all oil that is collected, on land or at sea, by individual or group." A heartwarming idea, yes, but as Albarelli says: "There may be liability concerns if someone gets hurt collecting oil. … There are many examples from the Exxon Valdez spill of non-professionals getting involved with good intentions, but actually making the situation worse." Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, by contrast, suggested the best course would be to do absolutely nothing. "We should calculate the cost of this leak … and using this target figure, we should pursue new environmental and economic initiatives to neutralize the costs of the spill," he explained. I can see it now—millions upon millions of solar panels and wind turbines and recycling trucks, all emblazoned with the BP logo.
Correction, May 26, 2010:This article originally mischaracterized a comment by reader Brian Hartman. While Hartman wrote that "the Russian Government [once] used a nuclear bomb to close an oil well that got out of hand," he argued "strongly against using any sort of nuclear device, especially under water, in one of the most inter-connected eco-systems in the world." Rather, Hartman advocated detonating a non-nuclear bomb. ( Return to the corrected sentence.)Like Slate on Facebook.

Evaluation Process > Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
Thank you for your interest in our service. To start the evaluation process, the following items/documents must be received by the Center:
Step 1. Download and print the Application Form
Please read the terms and conditions carefully and complete fully, especially Part D for educational background. Email address is requested if available, for faster communication as needed. If your name has been changed, proof of name change is needed.
Step 2. Original Academic Documents to be Evaluated
Original documents are required for verification purpose - NO EXCEPTION. Make two sets of photocopies of all the original documents (transcript, mark sheet, Certificate of Graduation/Diploma if graduated, etc.), with the corresponding Certified English translation, if original documents are not in English. Send the set of original and photocopies of documents to IESCAREE. A Document Copy fee of $15 will be charged if copy set of original documents is not submitted.
Step 3. Evaluation Fee
Many State Boards of Accountancy do require the Comprehensive Evaluation Report. Fee will be $240 for one program, or $370 for two programs (item 3.C and 3.D on fee schedule) plus appropriate postage and handling fee (items 4 fee schedule). If Comprehensive Eval. report is not desired or needed, refer to fee Schedule item 3.C and 3.D for separate type of evaluation fee. Additional fee for more than 2 programs will be charged on case by case basis.
Step 4. Mail Completed Application, Required Documents, and Fees
Once the evaluation process is completed, the original Evaluation Report (in a sealed envelope), together with the Applicant’s Copy of the evaluation report, and all original documents submitted, will be mailed to applicant’s address on file by Certified Mail, unless different mode of mailing is requested.
Original Evaluation Report can be mailed directly to the State Board of Accountancy by first class regular mail if indicated on Part E of the Application Form, without additional charge. If more secure or faster mailing is desired for this separate mailing to institution, refer to item 4 on fee schedule for additional fee required for the chosen method of mailing.
For California Board of Accountancy, a Comprehensive Evaluation is required, and original Evaluation Report has to be mailed directly to the Board by the Center, with a certified true copy of the original foreign transcript of records, as required by the Board.
A fee of $10* will be charged for this certified true copy of the transcript(s).
The postage and handling fee in this case will be $20, for two certified mailings, to the CA Board (original Eval. report with certified true copy of original transcript), and to Applicant (copy of Eval. Report and original documents being returned).
In short: for CA Board, an extra fee of $10* plus $20 for the two Certified mailings = $30 is to be added to the evaluation fee. Total fee will be $270 for one program, or $400 for two programs to be evaluated.
NOTES
Types of Evaluation Reports:
Course-by-course Analysis: U.S. equivalency of the foreign transcript, listing all subjects studied in chronological order, with U.S. equivalency of grade and credits for each subject. Mostly used for continuing education (possible transfer of credits or graduation admission), and/or professional licensing purposes.
General Report (Statement of Equivalency): summarizing applicant’s educational background, with recommended U.S. (study/degree) equivalency for each level of education/credential attained. Mostly used for employment or immigration purpose, or for first year college admission.
Comprehensive Evaluation Report: (consists of both Course-by-course and General Report Evaluation) is recommended for applicants who have U.S. Bachelor’s or higher degree(s) equivalencies, and for those who apply for professional licensing.
Reconstruction Work: When the academic transcript does not indicate the hours of study or the credits earned for each subject listed, school syllabus showing credits or total hours of study of each subject is required (for Course-by-course evaluation only, not required for Gen. Report evaluation). If syllabus is not available, the Reconstruction by Synthesis Form has to be completed by the applicant, to provide the total hours of study per week for each subject, to his/her best recollection. Using this information, along with the Center’s research on reference materials, the experience evaluator will be able to calculate the appropriate U.S. credits equivalency. Fee for Reconstruction work is normally $100 per program of study (item 6 on Fee Schedule), in addition to the evaluation fee noted above. This fee may vary depending on the complexity of each case.
GPA: Grade point average is not routinely done unless specifically requested. The course-by-course evaluation must be completed, as GPA is calculated from the U.S. equivalency of credits and grades on the course-by-course analysis. A nominal fee of $20 is required for GPA calculation for each program, to be added to the total evaluation fee.
Evaluation Time: Evaluation process normally takes two to four weeks, depending on the completeness of information submitted, the type of the evaluation report, and the complexity of the documents. All evaluation requests are processed on first come first served basis.
Rush Service: The Center offers one, two and five working-day Rush services, for an additional fee of $195, $100 or $50 respectively (Fee schedule item 11-13). Rush service starts only when complete information/ documents and fee are received in the Center. Rush service requests are accepted on a case-by-case basis. One-day Rush requests must have prior approval, do call the Center first before sending in document for the one-day Rush service. Money Order or Bank Check is required for all evaluations with rush services. Rush fee is non refundable at any time, with one exception where all needed documents/items are received, but the Center is unable to meet the deadline, most likely due to heavy workload.
Additional Official Evaluation Report: All evaluation files are kept active in the Center for three years from the date the evaluation is requested. The expiration date is indicated on the cover letter attached to the Applicant’s Copy of the evaluation report. Within this period, additional official evaluation set can be requested for different institutions, same purpose, for a nominal fee of $30 per set, including postage and handling fee. If a change of format is needed for different purpose, i.e. from education purpose to employment purpose, additional $20 change-of-format fee will be assessed. All expired files will be purged and destroyed; Applicant will need to reapply if evaluation report is still needed after the expiration date. However, up to 20% discount on evaluation fee will be considered for all re-applied applicants. Copy of old evaluation report is needed for proof of re-applying, and for discounted fee.
Extension of Evaluation Report: The purpose is to extent the file’s expiration date for another three years, without having to reapply and submit all original doc. again. The extension fee will be 50% of the original evaluation Fee, and must be requested before the file’s expiration date. Do call the Center for details. | http://www.iescaree.com/process-cpa.php | 1,495,632,147 | null |

Where can you buy a brick and tile, four bedroom home with a price in the $300,000's? With 835m² of land to boot, this is an opportunity you can sink your teeth into.
It can be tough as a young investor or first home buyer to get your foot in the market, this may well be the perfect stepping stone. With local areas such as Pokeno going through a serious gentrification, it is obvious that homes in this suburb will not always be priced like this.
There is no doubt, this home could use a bit of love, but what a great chance for you to add that value yourself, and reap the benefits down the track. What is always the most important thing to consider with brick and tile homes is that the bones are likely to be strong and reliable.

Grab your tissues now. Actually, grab the whole box. Photos from the season 4B premiere of ‘The Fosters’ have been revealed, and they’re absolutely devastating. Check out the photos of Jesus, Lena, Stef, and more!
These photos from the premiere are going to put you through the wringer. The show will pick up right where it left off in Aug. 2016. After a vicious fight with Nick (Louis Hunter) in the season 4A finale, Jesus (Noah Centineo) is rushed to the hospital. Stef (Teri Polo) and Lena (Sherri Saum) are right by Jesus’ side as he fights for his life.
In one photo, Jesus’ condition worsens and Stef freaks out. Lena also goes to the chapel to pray for her son. Thankfully, it looks like Jesus is going to pull through. In another photo, Jesus is awake and resting. Whew! Stef comforts him after he wakes up.
See More Pics Of ‘The Fosters’ Season 4
But Jesus isn’t the only Foster in the hospital. In one picture from the premiere, Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) is getting her blood pressure taken. She’s likely going to be feeling a lot of guilt regarding Jesus this season, especially since Jesus and Nick were fighting over her.
This is the official synopsis for the premiere: “In the aftermath of Jesus’ fight with Nick over Mariana, Jesus is knocked out. On the way to the hospital, things take a turn for the worse, leaving him fighting for his life. Meanwhile, Callie (Maia Mitchell) finds herself in a dangerous situation after taking a ride with Troy and Mariana is guilt-ridden over the fact that her actions led to Jesus’ current condition.”
In an interview with our sister site TVLine, executive producer Joanna Johnson revealed that Jesus will be really struggling with the aftermath of his injury. There will be “some interesting and surprising stories about what happens when people have… changes in personality, as well as other physical and mental symptoms,” she said. | http://hollywoodlife.com/2017/01/06/the-fosters-season-4-photos-jesus-alive-premiere/ | 1,496,024,441 | null |

Resetting the System
Occasionally, you may need to reset your system. The reset-all command resets the entire system and is similar to performing a power cycle. To reset the system, type: ok reset-all

Cyberpunk is by any measure one of Science Fiction's most successful neologisms. The word was invented (you might say stitched together like Frankenstein's monster) by Bruce Bethke for use as the title of his SF short story "Cyberpunk," which first appeared in Amazing Science Fiction Stories, Volume 57, Number 4, November 1983. In detailing the etymology of the word "cyberpunk", Bethke tells the story of some teen punks who hacked the demo TRS-80 Model 1 at the Radio Shack where he worked in 1980. As a writer of SF, it inevitably occurred to him that:
The kids who trashed my computer; their kids were going to be Holy Terrors, combining the ethical vacuity of teenagers with a technical fluency we adults could only guess at. Further, the parents and other adult authority figures of the early 21st Century were going to be terribly ill-equipped to deal with the first generation of teenagers who grew up truly "speaking computer."
SF is often misunderstood to be purely a literature of prognostication, and older SF is often unfairly judged in a harsh light because we didn't really have flying cars or robot butlers by some arbitrary date. But the real value of SF is to function as a mirror for observers (to hijack an Edgar Pangborn title); that is, SF really speaks more to the present than to the future. At times the mirror magnifies some aspect of society, and sometimes it is a funhouse mirror that distorts or exaggerates. Jack Finney's classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1955) was not a story of alien invasion; it was a cautionary tale about the Communist threat and the rise of McCarthyism. And so it was with the cyberpunk movement. The elements of cyberpunk were firmly rooted in cultural trends of the time, notably in the punk music scene that started in the 1970's with bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, and the Clash. In fact, the punk movement has been described as a counter-culture movement akin to the Beat Generation of the 1940/50's, which has in turn been likened to the Lost Generation of post-WWI Europe and America. Given the periodic nature of counter-culture resurgence, it was eminently logical for SF writers of the early 1980's to describe a future counter-culture movement set against a post-Information Revolution backdrop but mirroring the philosophy and style of the then-current punk scene. Of course, Bethke himself is quick to point out that he did not invent the cyberpunk movement in SF:
... what I set out to do was to name a character type. And the primary definition of cyberpunk - the one that gets used in every news story about computer crime - is my definition: a young, technologically facile, ethically vacuous, computer-adept vandal or criminal.
The defining moment in the creation of cyberpunk as a literary subgenre is usually credited to William Gibson, with the publication of Neuromancer (New York: Ace, 1984; ISBN 0441569560).
Issued as a paperback original in Terry Carr's legendary Ace Science Fiction Specials (series 3), Neuromancer was an instant classic and the first novel to win the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards combined. I was shocked to find upon researching this title that asking prices for first printings of this Ace paperback original (in Very Good or better condition) have skyrocketed since I last checked: there are currently only six copies listed through ABE, ranging from $250 to $635! The first hardback appearance of Neuromancer is the UK edition (London: Gollancz, 1984), which appeared after the Ace paperback edition. Asking prices currently range from $830 to $1367 for three unsigned copies, and signed copies are consistently priced above $2000. It should be noted that a signed Gollancz first in Fine/Fine condition on eBay recently failed to attract any bids with an opening price of $1700. The first US hardback publication was a signed, limited edition (West Bloomfield: Phantasia Press, 1986). 1575 copies were printed, the first 375 copies numbered and signed by the author in a specially bound and boxed edition. A copy of the signed slipcased edition recently failed to sell on eBay with a BIN of $700, stalling out at $385 with 11 bids. A signed copy of one of the 1200 trade edition copies did recently sell on eBay for $256 with 16 bids. There is additionally an Easton Press edition (Norwalk, Connecticut: Easton Press, 1990) that reliably sells in the $50 to $75 range. Finally, there are book club anniversary hardback editions - (Ace), 10th (Ace, 1994) and 20th (Berkley, 2004)- that should sell for $15+ in Fine/Fine condition.
That Gibson won the Philip K. Dick award for Neuromancer is particularly appropriate since Dick is recognized as one of the literary predecessors to the cyberpunk movement. His Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (New York: Doubleday, 1968; hardback, $5000+) was filmed by Ridley Scott as Blade Runner in 1982, two years before the publication of
Neuromancer. Both the book and the film embody many of the themes and stylistic elements of the cyberpunk aesthetic. The dark and gritty scenes of urban sprawl and decay juxtaposed with the highest of technology; conflict between organic and artificial intelligence, leading to a blurring of distinction between the two and uncertainty as to just what it means to be human; the "Japanification" of Western culture; the rise of the "megacorporations" as the true global power brokers; the fear of the loss of individuality - all quintessentially cyberpunk. Other commonly cited literary precursors to the cyberpunk subgenre include K. W. Jeter's Dr. Adder (New York: Bluejay Books, 1984; ISBN 0312940998, illustrated trade paperback $5; also ISBN 0312941005, signed limited edition of 350, hardback with dustjacket in slipcase, $50 to $75); Greg Bear's
Blood Music (New York: Arbor House, 1985; ISBN 0877957207, $35 - $50; also Norwalk,
Easton Press, 1990; $50); and Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination. Stylistic predecessors include Raymond Chandler, William Burroughs, and film noir. Other notable Gibson titles include:
Count Zero (London: Gollancz 1986; ISBN 0575036966; hardback $100; also, New York: Arbor House, 1986; ISBN 087795769X, hardback $50 - $75)
Burning Chrome (London,Gollancz,1986, ISBN 0575038462, hardback $150; also, New York: Arbor House, 1986, ISBN 0877957800, hardback $30) Mona Lisa Overdrive (London,Gollancz,1986, ISBN 0575040203, hardback $30; also, New York: Bantam Books, 1988, ISBN 0553052500, hardback, <$5). An interesting variation on cyberpunk is the sub-sub-genre called steampunk. K. W. Jeter's Morlock Night (New York: DAW Books, 1979, ISBN 0586204385, paperback original $7), in which the Morlocks have stolen Wells' time machine to invade 1892 London, is credited as the first of the steampunk novels. The Difference Engine
(London: Gollancz, 1990, ISBN 0575047623, hardback $10; also, New York: Bantam, 1991, ISBN 0553070282, hardback $5), co-authored by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, is set in Victorian England, the Information Age arriving 100 years early and technocrats ruling with the aid of huge gear-driven mechanical computers (Charles Babbage's difference engine writ large). James Blaylock has written two related steampunk novels, Homunculus (Bath: Morrigan Publications, 1988; another Philip K Dick Award winner, limited/trade $50/$25), and Lord Kelvin's Machine (Sauk City,WI: Arkham House, 1992; $15). The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill, is set in a technologically advanced Victorian London where literary figures (both great and minor) are real - for example, characters such as Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, and Allan Quartermain are recruited by the British government to fight evil and alien invasion. Two volumes of The League have been released in book form:
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Book 1, collects vol 1 #1-6 Paperback: ISBN 1563898586 (DC Comics, 2000) $10 - $15
Hardcover: ISBN 1563896656 (DC Comics, 2001) $50
The Absolute Edition: ISBN 1401200524 (DC Comics, 2003) $50 The Absolute Edition: ISBN 1840236884 (Titan, 2003) $75
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Book 2, collects vol 2 #1-6 Paperback: ISBN 1401201180 (DC Comics, 2004) $10
Hardcover: ISBN 1401201172 (DC Comics, 2003) $20
See also The Time Machine (1960 film), Young Sherlock Holmes (1985 film), and The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne (1999 TV series).
Bruce Sterling, an important figure in cyberpunk, has numerous novels and short story collections to his credit. He is also the editor of Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology (New York: Arbor House: 1986; ISBN 0877958688 $50 -$75). As influential as Sterling has been in the genre, very few of his books seem to have generated very much collector demand. As of this writing, signed first printings of nearly all of Sterling's books are readily available online for less than $30. Two exceptions include Mirrorshades (see above) and Schismatrix (New York: Arbor House, 1985; ISBN 0877956456 $25 to $35 unsigned).
After Gibson and Sterling, the last of the Big Three cyberpunk authors is Neal Stephenson. Snow Crash (New York: Bantam, 1992, ISBN 055308853X, hardback $750 to $1000; the book club edition is also collectible, with prices in the $50 to $75 range) represents a more developed take on the cyberpunk novel. It has all the style and flash of Neuromancer, but it draws the reader into a deeper, richer, funnier and, ultimately, scarier world as well. It also performs a neat inversion of the classic cyberpunk trope of increasingly human-like robots/androids by positing a means of accessing a hard-wired human meta-language that allows the bad guys to reprogram the brain, in effect turning people into robots.
Other Neal Stephenson titles to watch for:
The Big U (New York: Vintage, 1984; ISBN 0394723627, trade paperback original, $50). This book used to be nearly impossible to find, and prices ranged beyond $150. For many years, Stephenson adamantly refused to approve a re-issue of his first book, but apparently he gave in as a reprint was issued in 2001 (New York: Harper, 2001; ISBN 0380816032, trade paperback, $5). Since then the price on the original edition has dropped.
Zodiac: The Eco-Thriller (New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1988; ISBN 0871131811, trade paperback, $5 to $10). Stephenson's second book.
The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (New York: Bantam, 1995; ISBN 0553096095; hardback, $5 to $10). A fascinating fusion of cyberpunk and steampunk (cybersteam?), The Diamond Age is set in the oppressively restrictive neo-Victorian age that grew out of the chaos brought about by the introduction of nanotechnology. Nano-engineer John Percival Hackworth illegally duplicates the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, a custom commissioned nanotech supercomputer in the shape of a book designed to educate a young woman to think for herself in spite of the neo-Victorian norms. But Hackworth loses his copy, and the consequences will shake the very foundations of his society. | http://www.bookthink.com/printerfr/37sci1pr.htm | 1,495,845,414 | 1,371,860,449 |

They look odd. Even though aircraft with twin tail booms have appeared in every era of aviation history—from the early designs of the Farman and Voisin brothers to Adam Aircraft’s turbofan twin awaiting FAA certification—each one looks like a fix to something broken, an escape route from a corner into which a designer has painted himself.

The Bv 138 attacked convoys, resupplied U-boats, and swept for mines mostly in Scandinavian waters.
(NASM (SI Neg. #00010700))
Photo Gallery Why do it? Why shorten and interrupt the fuselage and connect the wings to the tail assembly with two tubes? There are as many reasons as there are twin-boom designs. Booms have been used to shave weight, stiffen structure, give fighter pilots better aim, improve the efficiency of propulsion systems, reduce parasitic drag, and expedite the loading of munitions or cargo—sometimes all on the same airframe. Examining the various rationales for the configuration is a good way to understand just how many trade-offs aeronautical engineers have to make to build an airplane that will not only get off the ground but do something useful after it does. As this collection shows, twin-boom aircraft have been useful at almost everything the more familiar single-tail-boom airplanes do. The ones shown are merely a sample of hundreds of designs. (For more twin tail-boom airplanes and photos of aircraft mentioned but not pictured here, visit
Twin-boom designs are still making history. Burt Rutan’s SpaceShipOne, the first private craft to take an astronaut into space, and its dashing launch platform White Knight both have twin tail booms. And if the movies are any guide, the configuration will be flying long into the future: In Ridley Scott’s 1979 science fiction classic Alien, the vehicle transporting man’s greatest threat is a giant spacecraft with twin booms.
SON OF A HOMEBUILT
The North American OV-10 Bronco owes its successes during the Vietnam War to the tenacity of two Marine Corps majors, K.P. Rice and Bill “Flameout” Bennett. In 1961 no one was interested in a small, short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft designed to support troops who were fighting guerrillas. But Rice and Bennett knew what was needed and built it in Rice’s garage. It was going to “dive bomb like a Stuka or an SBD, maneuver like an SNJ/AT-6, and be as fast and strong as a Corsair,” Rice remembers saying to anyone who’d listen. Obsessed with installing a 106-mm automatic recoilless rifle on the centerline, they added twin booms to lift the empennage out of the back blast. The Lockheed P-38, Rice says, had already demonstrated that placing guns on the centerline increases the shooter’s accuracy. Why the 106 rifle? “We were going to hit targets,” Rice says, “not surround them with bombs.” Twin booms also enhanced survivability, because redundant control systems were in the booms, widely separated. The military services came around to the need for a counter-insurgency aircraft, but in designing one, they increased its size, weight, and variety of missions—and dropped the 106. Still, the Bronco in its final form was a potent warplane. Kit Lavell, a pilot with a Navy OV-10 squadron known as the Black Ponies, says proof of the aircraft’s effectiveness in supporting SEALs and riverine forces was that “the enemy prepared crude handbills with the shape of the plane depicted on them and prescribed tactics to shoot down the Bronco.
CENTERLINE THRUST
Adam Aircraft expects the Federal Aviation Administration to certify its new push-pull, twin-boom business aircraft, the twin-engine A500, within the next few months. It’s a new airplane but an old idea. The concept of centerline thrust took shape most recently in the Cessna 336.
When it debuted in 1964, the 336 crowned years of development toward a simple, low-cost aircraft offering the safety of two engines without the conventional twin’s tendency to yaw if one engine fails. Twin tail booms made room for the second engine at the rear of the fuselage, and the two engines provided centerline thrust and a comfortable ride. A year later Cessna brought out the 337 Skymaster, which had more powerful engines and retractable landing gear. It was a controversial airplane. Despite the safety-oriented sales pitch, the Skymaster’s accident rate was higher than that of conventional twins. Hangar wags referred to it not as the Skymaster but the Mixmaster. But in 1966 the Air Force liked the 337’s high-wing visibility and ability to use short, rough fields, and it bought the twin as a forward air control craft. More than 500 of the 337s were fitted with rocket pods and smoke generators and shipped to Southeast Asia as Air Force O-2s. Author and O-2 pilot Robert Mikesh says the O-2 “felt civilian” and recalls “one ham-handed guy literally pulling the door handle off,” but gives it “a 9 on a scale of 10” for mission suitability.
TWIN BOOMS WITH SEA LEGS
Making headlines around the world—and earning propaganda dividends for Italy’s Fascist government—for a series of transatlantic flights in the 1920s and ’30s, the unique Savoia-Marchetti S.55 flying boat had two engines, two hulls, two tail fins (and three rudders), and of course two booms. The cockpit fit into the center section of a thick wing supporting engines with pusher and tractor props mounted in tandem on centerline pylons. Designed as a torpedo bomber and minelayer but seeing no action in World War II, the S.55 is best remembered for a July 1933 stunt when 24 of them flew from Rome to Chicago. Led by Italy’s flamboyant young air force general, Italo Balbo, the formation arrived for the World’s Fair in a little over 48 hours. (According to National Air and Space Museum archivist Brian Nicklas, the performance so impressed the world that for years any large formation of aircraft was referred to as “a Balbo of airplanes.”)
In the following decade, a twin-boom amphibian, the single-hull, tri-motor Blohm und Voss Bv 138, nicknamed the Flying Shoe, attacked Allied ships in the north Atlantic and distinguished itself by engaging in a dogfight with a Consolidated Catalina flying boat—and winning. Bv 138s menaced Allied convoys, but by late 1942 they were being quickly rendered obsolete by the deployment of Allied aircraft carriers and their fighters. On May 1, 1945, one of the few remaining Shoes alighted under fire on a Berlin lake. Its mission was to pick up and deliver two envelopes, but the pilot ignored the order and instead picked up 10 wounded and delivered them to Copenhagen, Denmark. In those envelopes, it was later found, was Adolph Hitler’s last will and testament.
A BUNCH OF GHOULS
When the de Havilland D.H.100 Vampire was designed in 1942, the turbojet was an immature technology. The jet pipe had to be kept short to limit loss of thrust from the anemic Goblin engine. So the engine was installed behind a short, molded-plywood cockpit. Shaving weight, skinny twin booms were employed to lift the tail assembly clear of the exhaust. Empty, the airplane weighed a mere 6,372 pounds.
The Vampire appeared too late to joust with the Me 262, but in 1945 it became the first fighter to exceed 500 mph and the first jet to land on an aircraft carrier. | http://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/fork-tailed-devils-and-flying-shoes-8838775/?c=y&story=fullstory | 1,495,865,219 | 1,495,865,219 |

This is my first car, as an early driver I have little experience at the wheel, however have driven many different cars, from different manufacturers. And I can say with utmost confidence that this is by far the best econo car you could buy at the time of manufacture. It outperforms, neons, cavaliers, sunfires. A few races with people with these cars has shown me this clearly, by blasting by them with a smirk on my face as they struggle to keep up. Handling is very sharp, however there is a tad bit of body lean, and brakes are really sharp and when properly used, stop surprisingly fast.
Best Features
Acceleration, handling, braking, exterior looks.
Worst Features
Little less body lean in the corners would be nice. More traction to the front tires would be nice also especially when launching. | https://www.edmunds.com/honda/civic/1993/consumer-reviews/itsslowbutitgetsgreatcar-my-baby-the-ex-c-1993-white-2-door-ex-old-reliable-a-tribute-and-a-sad-excellent-little-coupe.html?reviewId=5562247&styleId=11562&sub= | 1,495,811,391 | null |

I study the vocal system of the human brain. Humans have a degree of control over the larynx that is unparalleled among primates. Acquiring flexible and volitional control over the larynx was a key step in the evolution of our singular capacity for verbal communication, without which speech and song would be impossible.
From an ancestor that communicated only through pre-programmed emotional vocalizations, humans evolved the ability to learn novel vocal patterns. My research focuses on exploring the evolutionarily novel neural system that gives humans flexible control over the larynx and how the vocal system coordinates pre-programmed and learned vocal motor patterns to produce vocalizations that simultaneously encode emotional tone of voice and speech.
What happens when the larynx goes wrong? Stuttering is a complex speech disorder characterized by repetitive or blocked vocalization, particularly in speech. One of the possible causes of stuttering is a haywire larynx that struggles to start vocal patterns. I am interested in describing how the evolutionary changes to our vocal system may have left us vulnerable to disorders, such as stuttering, which are not found in our non-vocal learning mammalian relatives. | http://www.michelbelyk.com/ | 1,495,550,633 | null |

Finally! It has been a labour of love, but the ring stacker is complete. Combining bird-themed heavy Ikea fabric and a Heather Bailey pattern, I’ve finished the happy ring stacker for Dhari’s 9 month birthday, which is in 2 weeks. I think the original plan was to finish it for 6 months, but you know how things go. Stuff comes up.
I’ve ended up with a lumpy, wonky, slightly leaning tower of colourful rings. If I were to do it again I would do it differently. I would:
use lighter fabric;
remember to put the ribbons on BEFORE I stitch the rings together;
not sign myself up to mark 360 exams for AQA, even though it means £1200 more in the bank.
But I don’t think I’ll do another one. It was really difficult and took me ages. I’m proud of them though. And I think the lumpy, wonky, slightly leaning tower suits Dhari perfectly. He’s going to love it. And if he doesn’t, it will look very pretty stacked up neatly in the corner of his room... | http://babybandito.blogspot.com/2010/01/ring-stacker-8-september-2009.html | 1,495,516,117 | 1,449,960,573 |
Leslie Knope and the crew at the Parks and Recreation department in the fictional town of Pawnee Indiana are nothing short of amusing. The sitcom is a spinoff of the popular series “The Office”, taking after its mockumentary camera style. You won’t find another character on TV more lovable and endearing than Leslie Knope as she goes through hell to make sure her inner circle is tight. Each episode is replete with sarcasm from April Ludgate and bonehead remarks from Andy Dweyer.
“Parks and Recreation” returns to NBC on January 17.

If you find your gel coat on your composite canoe getting faded and worn, and you would like to make it all shiny and almost new looking again. Here are a few simple steps.
Please note, this process will not fix deep gauges and missing pieces of gelcoat.
Working outside, on saw horses, with the canoe at waist level – wash your canoe, scrub off any of the green slime especially around the gunnel edges. Once it’s dry you can start the restoration.
Get yourself some cut polish this is the same stuff they use on cars. Cut ploish comes in different grits. If the canoe is badly oxidized (the paint is really faded) use a courser grit.
Buy, rent or borrow a power buffer – you want the ‘two handed kind’ not the little ones
you put on the end of a drill. Get a good quality ‘lamb skin’ buffing pad.
Go to town on buffing, it should take you 2-3 hours. This will bring back the color and should get rid of the smaller scratches.
Careful not to over buff, as this is like ‘sanding’ you don’t want to go too ‘deep’ and loose the color all together. To get the best shine lighten the pressure on the pad at the end of the polishing cycle. Don’t be afraid to use a fair amount of pressure though at the beginning of the job.
Once you’re done, put a coat of wax on it, that will help protect it from future sun damage. Make sure it’s a wax with a UV inhibitor – most any good car wax will be fine. | http://www.clippercanoes.com/refinishing-gel-coat/ | 1,495,488,409 | null |

Having trained in shinkendo for a number of years, a modern form of kenjutsu, I think I would say that O Sensei was not a swordsman in the koryu or bujutsu sense. That he used weapons as a part of his power development and his own misogi I believe, having seen the same in the system of my teacher Hiroshi Kato Shihan. I can handle a live blade as a weapon, but the bokken in his hands comes alive and is strongly reminiscent of O Sensei's movements.
It is clear from many sources that Takeda was a swordsman, but peculiarly he also used two swords. Whether this was the Nitoken attributed to Musashi, (doubtful) or something he designed himself (more likely) to develop cutting hands i cannot source properly. Undoubtedly Ellis has more historical data on this.
It has also been stated a number of times that Ueshiba was a genius thief, capable of watching a demonstration and then introducing his version a few days later as a training tool in his dojo, "in aikido we do it this way"One aspect of weapon training that is important is that by extending the mind towards the end of the weapon your body follows a kind of rearrangement in internal organization. This is most keenly felt in the long pole exercises of CMA. A 2 meter pole is difficult a 3 meter pole almost impossible unless the arms are almost anchored to the the central body mass.
Traditional swordsmanship enforces a 2 hands joined together approach to body movement, often stressed in Aikido and yet Takeda split the hands and maintained, I believe, a 2 handed connection to his center. Thoughts anyone? | http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/showpost.php?p=293414&postcount=17 | 1,495,600,448 | null |

Posted by Cathy Herrick | Sunday, September 13, 2009 | Arts & Entertainment, Current News | John Grandi
Friends of John Grandi are invited to join in a celebration of his many contributions to the Big Bear Valley on Friday, September 18, when the Big Bear Lake International Film Festival (BBLIFF) will present him with the 2009 Community Appreciation Award.
The Community Appreciation Award is given to an individual who has contributed greatly to the well being of the local community. Film Festival Board President Ty Warren says, “John has been so active and visual in the community that to many he is thought of as ‘Mr. Big Bear.’ John is always at the forefront when it comes to donating his time and talent for the betterment of Big Bear Valley. The Big Bear Lake International Film Festival is delighted to be presenting the Community Appreciation Award to Mr. John Grandi.”
This is the 10th Annual Big Bear Lake International Film Festival but only the 4th time that a community member has received recognition. In 2000 Actress Shirley Jones was the first community advocate honored with the prestigious award. In 2007 and 2008 respectively, Channel 6 host Ron Seymour and Big Bear Mountain Resorts President Dick Kun were honored.
This year’s honoree is one of Big Bear’s living legends, who has shared his life stories on stage. “An Evening with John Grandi”, a charity performance for the Big Bear Branch Library, was so well received that a encore was produced at the Performing Arts Center as a Hospital Foundation fund raiser. John is a “people person” who has earned the respect of the community and has formed many enduring friendships. It is not surprising that his circle of friends come together to support John’s favorite causes – often sharing the stage with him.
With his usual good humor, Grandi claims to have “flunked retirement” and keeps busy writing, acting and generally helping wherever needed. His endeavors help make Big Bear a better place. As Grandi puts it: “I’ve been in the ‘people’ business my entire life.” This means spending his time doing things that benefit others, from acting in CATS productions to volunteering as a Rotarian and often emceeing the Eagles of Excellence Awards evening.
In addition to being an actor, musician and humanitarian, Grandi is a newspaper columnist; the Grizzly recently presented him with a ten-year award. He explains: “It all started eleven years ago when I emceed a show that a very special and talented lady, Shirley Jones did as a special benefit concert for the Healthcare District Foundation. I was shocked when I discovered that no mention was made in the local paper that an entertainer of Shirley Jones’ caliber was performing on the Hill. I contacted the then editor, John Emig, to ask why there was no coverage of such a premier event. I told him I would be retiring in a year and would like to write a column covering local happenings. I got the job and the rest is history. Shirley and I are still close friends and I’m still writing my column every other week.” Grandi’s popular column is interesting and informative, filled with wisdom and wit, promoting the people, projects and businesses of Big Bear. No entertainer, whether aspiring or seasoned, is left unsung; no worthy endeavor is unmentioned.
The 85-year-old credits his family with giving him an appreciation of music and the arts. He remembers his dad’s love of the opera but says that it was his mother who saved his life by encouraging him to play the trumpet. John reminisces “As a gung-ho 17-year-old I enlisted in the Army Air Cadets during WWII” and he continued with a chuckle, “I didn’t have the required year of college needed to advance so I was assigned to laundry detail – what a job – I spent the days impregnating clothes – It was the original chemical warfare.”
Grandi’s career path changed when he saw a sign recruiting a bugler, auditioned and was re-assigned to the band in Birmingham. He was never sent overseas and spent the war playing in the Army Ground Forces Band. After the war, he played the trumpet with many of he popular Big Bands, including the Russ Carlyle Band at the Avalon Ballroom. John recalls “Those were the days of the Big Bands but sadly, it’s a new era and the famed sounds of the Big Bands have faded – or moved on to Branson, Missouri.”
Grandi is a show business veteran, having traveled with the national company of “Mr. Roberts,” appeared with a repertory company in “My Three Angels” with a very young Jessica Tandy and appeared in “Solid Gold Cadillac” with Judy Holliday. He says that his favorite role was in “Our Town” with Burgess Meredith.
Grandi’s life has revolved around show business, but like many entertainers, he has held other jobs between gigs, including the automobile trade and marketing and advertising. It was while working in Los Angeles that he met and married the “Leading Lady” of his life, Julie. After thirty-eight years, John still says “Julie saved my life and now I’m making he most of it.”
The 10th Annual Big Bear Lake International Film Festival and Screenwriting Competition is scheduled for the weekend of September 18-20, 2009. During the Opening Night Awards Presentations, the spotlight will be on John Grandi. Tickets ($35) to the Gala Party and Awards Presentations are available for purchase at the Performing Arts Center Box Office at 39707 Big Bear Blvd., by phone at 909-866-4970 or online at For more information, call 909-866-3433. | http://kbhr933.com/current-news/john-grandi-receive-community-appreciation-award/ | 1,495,661,993 | null |

Dentures can restore your smile this festive holiday season. We want your holiday to be filled with delicious sweets, delightful eats, and light-up treats for this holiday and many more to come.
If you currently have dentures, it is important to care for them all season long, so that they can protect and provide you with the care they are designed for. Don’t wait until it is too late to attempt to salvage a broken pair of dentures, start caring for them today so that they can care for you tomorrow, and many more days to come.
Below is a list of things you can do to take care of your dentures:
– Make sure to treat your dentures with extreme care. They are not indestructible, and can easily be damaged if dropped. If your dentures become damaged, alert your dentist and we will assist you. Never try to fix broken dentures yourself.
– Because they are removable there is an even greater risk of harmful bacteria. Make sure to brush and rinse your dentures on a daily basis but not with toothpaste. Toothpaste is too abrasive, so use an ADA-approved denture cleaner or mild hand soap.
– Never let your dentures air-dry or remain in the air for too long. When the dentures are removed for periods of time, soak them in regular water or an approved cleaning solution. There are a few products you should avoid using on the dentures, as they can easily damage the pair. These include teeth whitening products, bleach, abrasive materials, hot water, or glue.
A good set of dentures can be the difference between a happy holiday season or a horrific one. Don’t let your teeth let you down. If you would like to meet with Dr. Michael Hollingsworth, contact our office at 816.232.8788 to setup your visit at our office in St. Joseph, Missouri. Let us help you with all of your oral health care needs. | https://www.stjosephmodentist.com/dentures-can-restore-your-smile-this-festive-holiday-season/ | 1,495,769,486 | null |
Do you remember your first job? Did you find it in the classifieds, through a family friend? Did it provide a reality check on that place called the “real world?" Did it help you make friends, connections, build confidence? Did it help you get your second job?
President Obama’s fiscal year 2017 budget proposal aims to provide $5.5 billion dollars to connect young people with their first jobs. According to the White House, the reason is simple, “one of the first things employers screen for in the hiring process is work experience…Once a young person gets their first job, its much easier to get the next one." Currently, 1 in 7 young people are both out of school and out of work. The new proposal could provide an opportunity for summer learning providers to partner with potential summer work employers to provide a comprehensive learning experience for young people.
The initiative, which coordinates among the Departments of Labor and Education, has multiple components to help youth ages 16-24 get their foot in the door, including:
$3.5 billion to incentivize business to hire 1 million youth for summer work. The federal government funds would pay half of worker costs, matched with private, public and philanthropic investments. Youth in the program would be given training in financial management, through a partnership with the Treasury, as well to build the savings for later opportunities. $2 billion in competitive awards to community partnerships combining education, workforce, and community offices organizations to help students most at risk of dropping out of high school, or those who already have, re-connect and re-engage with their education and career opportunities.
$200 million, in reserved funding from a larger $2 billion apprenticeship initiative, to be dedicated to career-exploration opportunities for youth.
$20 million to be awarded to communities with innovative plans to help youth connect with employment opportunities, known as Career Pathways for Youth grants.
The White House is interested in learning about best practices in engaging youth in summer work opportunities from around the country with a plan to create a federal resource guide and playbook to help communities make the best use of resources in employing and supporting youth. The White House welcomes your success stories and your plans of how you will make this summer better than the last at by writing to their neighborhood partnerships office. A Summer Opportunity Workshop and Champions of Change Event will also be held on February 26th to discuss best practices. share this link: learn more about: Federal Funding POTUS | http://www.afterschoolalliance.org/afterschoolSnack/White-House-proposes-5-5-billion-to-help-young-adults-find_02-05-2016.cfm | 1,495,702,887 | null |

Hey there! Andy and I are back from our off-grid adventures, so I figured I’d take a few minutes to catch up with things here. For those who wondered where we went, we spent 10 days in Glacier National Park and managed to hike more than 95 miles (if my math is right), which is a personal best for us on a trip! It was an incredible trip, and pictures won’t do the place justice.
Swiftcurrent Lake Grinnell Glacier Early morning dew Highline Trail Bull moose on the trail to Cracker Lake Cracker Lake Of course, the downside to late summer travel is that it makes using our CSA produce and garden veggies a little more challenging. I picked up week 11’s share right before we left.
We received:
4 ears of corn
1 banana pepper
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
several slicing / eating tomatoes
red and yellow onions
1 eggplant
1 zucchini
1 summer squash
1 pound of green and yellow beans
I put the eggplant, beets and pepper in the fridge in my magic produce-saver bags, hoping that they would still look OK when we came home. (And they did. Yay for modern technology!) I knew the onions would keep, so they stayed home as well. Everything else was loaded into the cooler (or the food bin, in the case of the tomatoes – I never refrigerate a fresh tomato) for the trip. I pan-fried the zucchini and summer squash in some butter with a little bit of oregano one day after hiking, and we ate lots of steamed green beans throughout the trip.
Here’s what happened to the sweet corn and cherry tomatoes:
Just because we’re camping doesn’t mean we have to subsist on hot dogs and instant soup. I roasted the cherry tomatoes in a foil packet with butter, salt, pepper and oregano. Andy really enjoyed them this way – more so than eating them plain. I soaked the corn in water before we put it on the fire, and it turned out really well too.
I don’t have a picture of the week 12 share, as my friend Bethany picked it up, but it looks like it was a good week for her! According to our newsletter, she received:
Kale
Sweet corn
Snap beans
Leeks
Slicing tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes
Golden beets
Zucchini
Cucumbers
Bethany did put a cucumber and a zucchini in our fridge for us, along with the beets. I haven’t convinced her that they’re delicious. Yet. 😉

Home › Read Journals › Not so perfect… Not so perfect… Life is supposed to be what you make it right? So why the hell won’t parents let us choose our own paths and choices in life..? If we screw up we screw up. We can learn from our own mistakes. We shouldn’t have to be controlled by them… I want my own opinions to matter now! I can’t stand it any longer. Sooner or later I’m gonna blow. Our parents only want what’s best for us right? WRONG they control us and never let us be who we want to be. They force us to be like them. That perfect blonde christian girl who always does what she’s told. That’s all I’m seen as. Well newsflash I’m buddhist and if you have a problem with I don’t care. I’m so done with this. I’m not some puppet they can control anymore. Soon they won’t have the right to tell me what to do. They never let me be me. They threw away all my band shirts. Tore all my posters up. Cut all my headphones up. Took my ipod away from me two years ago. Forced me to read the bible five times. I’m not lying I can recite anything from there. But still they never crushed my spirit. I’m just waiting for the right time to let them know. For now I’ll keep pretending but soon I’ll be free.
P.S. By the way I don’t have a problem with people having different religions the only problem I do have is if you try to shove it down my throat like my “dearest” mommy and daddy. Sorry if I offended anyone with anything I wrote. But hey can’t blame me for voicing my opinion right? P.P.S Can you tell I want to be an author? Haha yeah I love to write anyway have a good day and don’t let people control you. FIGHT BACK! You are you and there’s only one you in the world. Don’t let people get to you. You like what you like. You listen to what you want. I’ve finally excepted and learned that lesson.

Much has happened in terms of sexual liberation for women in the 21st century: Cleavage competed with koalas and gave chick magazines more shelf-space than a Readers’ Digest or National Geographic, Aung Su Kyi was forgotten while Carrie Bradshaw’s stiletto-ed serial man-changing became the beacon for new womanhood and Coupling showed where the modern relationship was going with a boyfriend watching his girlfriend’s with-ex-sex video to see if she did things any differently ‘back then’.
For long feminists have screamed hoarse about men’s double standards when it comes to sex: How men have a different set of rules for themselves and another book for women, how a man who’s had many women is a ‘stud’ while a girl who gives up her hymen before she marries the Right One is a ‘slut’ and how a man will gladly sleep with a woman with prior sexual experience but will look at a virgin when it comes to marriage. If latest surveys are to be believed, it seems the feminists have still much longer to cry: Sexually experienced women might be seen as liberated and ‘sexier’ but they are also seen as scarier!
The latest Kinsey Institute study (published April issue of Archives of Sexual Behaviour) suggests that while younger men feel threatened by sexually experienced women the older men find them desirable and arousing. But that was the result when the men were asked about the kind of women/woman they like to have sex with, would the results be any different if the research was on the kind of wife a man looked for? Given pre-marital sex is still frowned upon in India and arranged marriages are the norm for the majority, one wondered about the results in an Indian context… In an e-mail survey of 25 people – 13 women, 12 men, urban singles, aged 20-35, all working in industries that demand close man-woman interaction and all of whom have equal opportunities when it comes to meeting and mating with the opposite sex – the answers one received were startling. For one, most of the women polled DEMANDED their men have prior sexual experience.
The orgasm is my birthright
The first question was common to both men and women: Would you like your partner to be sexually experienced?
Of the women polled, 69 per cent want their men with prior sexual experience, 23 per cent didn’t mind someone without experience and only 8 per cent insisted on their man being a virgin. For all the newfound sexual forthrightness of women, men are still supposed to take the lead when it comes to bedroom antics. Women, irrespective of their having prior experience or not, would rather have a man who is not a virgin. Why? “I am looking for a boyfriend/ husband and not a child who needs to know stories about bees and birds,” says one 25-year-old feisty woman. For another it does not matter if he has any experience “as long as he is attentive”. Someone who knows the moves and someone who is attentive: From holding on to their ‘virtue’ for the Right One, the focus for the girls seems to have shifted to ‘what’ the Right One does for them. In other words, the pressure is on the man to keep the woman happy. The pressure’s showing on the men as well and it’s perhaps no surprise that the younger lot is ‘scared’ of demanding, sexually experienced women. If on one hand there is performance anxiety about being compared to past lovers, there is now the added pressure of even inexperienced women having high magazine-propagated expectations of a man’s bedroom prowess. Despite men being considered sexually hypocritical when it comes to the marriage market – and wanting to marry virgins – the men polled were quite open-minded towards women with prior sexual experience. While 54 per cent were happy with their partner whether a virgin or not, 46 per cent insisted on preferring women with prior experience: A case of the stereotype of what men consider ‘ideal wife material’ changing or simply a case of the men giving politically correct answers? Further probing revealed it could well be the latter, but with both men and women being equally hypocritical… Heard about too much experience?
The second question, though fundamentally the same, was tweaked a bit for the guys and girls keeping in mind the assumption that men are considered more sexually active than women. The men were asked if they were okay with their partner having slept with three men (or more) while the women were asked the same but with their partners having slept with eight or more women. Despite majority of the men and women saying they were okay with the idea of a sexually experienced partner, the limit to what each group considered ‘experienced’ differed. A whopping 76 per cent of the men polled said while they were okay with their partner’s prior experience though they’d rather not know details or numbers. Only 14 per cent said they would be bothered if their girlfriend/partner had had sex with more than three men. Compared to the men, only 23 per cent of the women polled were comfortable with their husband/partner having had multiple sexual encounters while 73 per cent said they would be decidedly uncomfortable if their man had “slept with the whole world”. Even the women who said they were okay with their man having had multiple partners were comfortable “only if he was in relationships with those women and not just one night stands.”
Some women however felt “More than six or eight intimate relationship in case of a man mostly suggests he treats women as play things, has no integrity and is absolutely unstable”. Can the same then be said about women who have had relationships with three or more men? Not so, declare the girls and insist women cannot be ‘judged’ on the same terms because women would have multiple partners only when “forced to” or when past relationships didn’t work out. Somehow that does not quite gel and sounds like women resorting to the same double standards they have hitherto accused the men of… Let sleeping dogs ‘lie’
Finally both men and women were asked if they would be forthcoming in talking about their past relationships with their partners. The answers were far from comfortable…
For long magazines and feminists alike have demanded that when it comes to sex, men and women should be judged equally. ‘If a man can sleep around so can a girl’ be the cry for equality. Women today seem to be doing exactly what the men were earlier accused of and getting away with it in the name of bridging the gender divide. For instance, in a scene from Devil Wears Prada, Anne Hathaway’s character has a one-night stand with a colleague when she is on a with her boyfriend. Had it been a man in a similar situation he would have been labeled a slime ball and an opportunist who didn’t waste time in sleeping with another woman. Since it was a girl though the situation was deemed as her “finding her own footing” and giving men a taste of their own medicine. Equality or reversed hypocrisy again?
When asked about discussing past relationships, 76 per cent of the men polled said they would be completely honest with their partner, though a majority said, “only when she asked for it”. Only 15 per cent said they would “downplay” the number of partners but mostly only if their partner was inexperienced. Again for the men, they did not have many hang ups about their partner’s past life as long as they were told about it and did not “find out after marriage” according to one and as long as “she did not keep bringing up her past”. For the women though, they were more curious about their partner’s past life and more forthcoming in volunteering information about their own… with a clandestine twist. Of the women polled, 31 per cent said they will be happy to talk about their past relationships while 69 per cent said, “Only after editing bits here and there”. While most women seemed okay with discussing heartbreaks, almost all – barring those who have had no sexual experience – were hesitant about discussing numbers with their partners. If relationships are built on trust, does it not tantamount to lying? The girls don’t think so, as one 25-year-old put it, “Never about past experiences. I did it once and it was always brought up every time something went wrong. The number of men should not matter, everyone has a past and it’s not something you can change.” However, it’s not about the unchangeable past that has women “editing” details. As one woman put it, “In my experience guys don't usually want to hear about it.”
So while women seem to be marching towards more sexual freedom and demanding their men come with a “has done it” certificate, they would withhold information about their own experience. If earlier a man with multiple sexual partners was considered a ‘player’ and someone to be “scared of”, the Kinsey Institute study suggests that men are equally scared of “player” women. One wonder then, are we really breaking stereotypes and making ‘progress’ or is it a case of the entire sexual double standard and gender divide reversing, with women now becoming the new men? | http://ankitchaturvedi.blogspot.com/2008/05/men-dont-want-virgins-and-women-lie.html | 1,495,681,666 | 1,491,377,302 |
Earlier this month Apple kicked off a new whimsical iPad Pro advertising campaign based on real tweets complaining about PC problems that iPads can solve. Now Apple is out with the latest addition highlighting Apple Pencil.
The new ad spot highlights how users can rely on the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to easily sign and send off PDF files with handwritten signatures to avoid printing completely. Of course iPhones and iPads can print with AirPrint compatible printers as well, but that’s not quite the direction of this ad spot.
Apple’s previous ads focus on various iPad Pro features including lack of PC viruses, built-in LTE as a Wi-Fi alternative, and Microsoft Office apps on iOS.
You can see the latest ad in the campaign below:

It's been a few weeks since my last update about Frasier. He is doing well but is now on medication (half a pill a day). He is continuing to gain weight and his test results are mostly good, except his urea and creatinine levels are still very high. So I give him half a pill every day, and in a few weeks I have to add a powder to his food. He will go back to the vet in a couple of months to see how he is doing.
The vet bills are still coming in and I've been very thankful at all the help I've received so far. This week though I finally started selling the knitted cat toys that I've been making all month. I'm calling them Frasier's Mousey Toys. They are mouse-like toys knit with wool or other yarn that I have in my stash. I made 20 to start and today at work I sold 14! 14! Can you believe it? I know more people at work want to buy some and I have friends in Halifax and in other provinces/states that want some too.
The first twenty toys
I made some with catnip and some without catnip. I will make more this week to keep up with the orders, and if you would like some please get in touch with me at eastcoastknits @ gmail dot com. Each mouse is $5, plus shipping if you are not local (I can give you an estimate with your postal/zip code). I am trying to keep the cost of these low, so though I have an Etsy store (currently closed) I am just selling them via word of mouth and to friends. People can pay through PayPal or email money transfer (the better option if you're in Canada).
This gives a good idea of how large the toys are
If you send me an email, just tell me how many you want and whether you want your toys with catnip or without catnip (also if you have an colour preferences). | http://eastcoastknits.blogspot.com/2012/09/frasiers-mousey-toys.html | 1,495,605,630 | 1,494,264,373 |

Taking my daughter to school recently I couldn't help but notice how many of the parents had squeaky, noisy, or even grinding brakes! Something so easy to fix that could be a safety concern was not being addressed. Is it the cost, or the time, or maybe the lack of trust in a mechanic that prevents people from having their vehicle worked on? I think it is maybe all of those reasons combined. I thought about this as I drove to the shop this morning and decided to post about this.

These cadets, who have just flown and studied their way through ten weeks of ardous work, will now be graduated to more powerful single-engine planes or multi-motored ships which will constitute the last leg in their training.

I don't know precisely what you are seeking here. Measures of similarity don't always function well as test statistics, and vice versa, and I don't know what you mean by correlated pdfs, as distinct from correlated variables.
But it is not obvious that any such measure or test exists. Even if you have three points in some space, there isn't a unique single distance between them, and you have three functions, which in any case have to be estimated.
Contrary to any intuition that three is only a little more complicated than two, I assert that once you have three variables then your problem is multivariate. Other than treating your problem as related to standard ANOVA (classical or nonparametric) or principal component analysis, I can't see that there is an easy way forward of the kind you seek.

Gold and brass accents seem to be making a comeback these days, and it's about time. Maligned over the last couple of decades as some sort of Trump-meets-Dynasty misstep in interior design, gold can be tasteful and warm, if deployed properly and in moderation. Here is a roundup of gold flatware to spice up your table. So what do you think — would you go for gold?
Of course, if you plate something in real gold, it turns out that gets reflected in the price. These table settings are typically more expensive than their stainless steel counterparts, sometimes considerably more. Just keep in mind that some of these prices are for single settings, some are for 4 settings, and some are for a full set. And the last two examples are vintage sets from Etsy, a great source for vintage gold flatware that is less expensive than the new stuff.

May 4, 2016May 4, 2016 ~ calypte “Falcon would always remember the day he had started to dream of escaping into the sky.”
What if… the space race had gone a little differently, with a manned mission to Mars before the dawn of the 21st Century? Mankind could have spread throughout the solar system by now, terraforming planets and moons. What if, in this reality, life was discovered on Jupiter? Or chimpanzees were given a huge boost to intelligence? What relationship would such a society have to machines – would they be perhaps less ‘advanced’ that we are, for longer? Ah, but what happens when they decide to catch up?
Howard Falcon was the hero of Arthur C. Clarke’s 1971 novella, A Meeting with Medusa. Despite having been featured in several of his collections, I failed to track down a copy and so went into this modern sequel a little blind – whether or not that made a difference, I’m not sure. Perhaps it did, for while I eventually warmed to this centuries-spanning tale, I did find it very slow going to begin with.
A lot of that is, I think, to do with that span of time. Falcon’s cybernetic life is measured in centuries, as is the scope of the story. And so we skip-skip-skip from one relevant/entertaining vignette to another, never quite settling in before we’re skipping off again. It certainly made things harder for me.
However, eventually all of those individual moments in time come to have relevance as part of a bigger picture – and by then, I was pretty hooked!
Overall, The Medusa Chronicles has a lot to say about humanity and other forms of life – whether animal, machine, or something else. What I loved most, though, was the early stuff, postulating a different path that the space race and subsequent technology could have taken – thus neatly bypassing any datedness to the original work. There are some flashback ‘interludes’ to another event, set in the 1960s, which really tied in to this – although I did consider they didn’t wholly belong here, with the rest of the tale. They sort of do, perhaps, but you might have to think about that one!
Although there are numerous references to the original novella, I’d suggest it’s probably worthwhile but not necessary to have read it first. There is enough explanation of Falcon’s past adventures to never leave you scratching your head, wondering what some statement was about.
