China, we've mostly all heard of it.
But where is it and what's it all about? More importantly, what the hell does its communist regime, man-made military islands, trade economy, steamed pork buns and relationship with North Korea mean for the future of the living world? As tensions rise between China and the US, the two biggest trade economies in the world, we decided to find out.
The Internet
It's easier finding nude pics of Karl Stefanovic online than it is getting information about China. Largely on account of their heavily censored internet that has more than 60 government regulations on free speech, use and undesirable (see: true) information being posted on lifestyle and living conditions—punishable by 10 years imprisonment or more. In fact, so vigorous is their monitoring of content and personal use, that their policing of the net is considered the toughest in the world. And earned it the fun little name, "The Great Firewall of China". The Chinese are single-handedly keeping Playboy print afloat.
Buy why? Communism (sort of)
Yeah, communism. That thing (see: political ideology) that every 80s and 90s action cop movie used as a plot device. Thing is, while China became a communist state in 1949, known as the People's (ahem) Republic of China, it now in no way resembles the values of Karl Marx' vision of a community-minded classless society, devoid of hierarchy. From an economic standpoint, the Chinese have in fact become capitalists and have the second largest economy in the world after the US. However, they maintain the strict governance of individual rights that harks back to communism, where individual freedoms and expressions are considered dangerous to the good of many. Basically, having their cake and eating it, too.
The Communist Ruling Party
Since 1950, China has operated under just one political party—the Communist Party of China. And though there are eight other parties in existence, they're prohibited from challenging CPC policy. And bi-partisan leadership elections don't exist. Therefore, China is an authoritarian country, run by a group of CPC elders and the Politburo—24 people (mostly men) elected by the party's main committee. The party dictates what schools teach, what's on TV, and how many children families can have—recently doubled from one to two. Worker and human rights barely exist, and the press is among the most censored in the world.
The One-China policy
You might remember this drama from the Olympics—what the hell are we allowed to call Taiwan? Is it Taiwan or the Republic of China? Quick history lesson: Taiwan considers itself to be the real leader of China, with elected officials and the good of greater China at its core. It came about as a result of the retreating forces from China's civil war in 1949, where defeated Nationalists recovered and attempted to rebuild a free society in Taiwan's capital Taipei. Problem is, the Communist Party continues to be far stronger and maintains control of the mainland. And as a result, they've refused to deal with international trade partners like Australia and the US if we recognised the Republic of China as a stand alone country instead of a province of the mainland. As such, for purely economic gain, the UN and majority of the free world have shunned Taiwan in exchange for trade with mainland China. It's bullying at the highest level. Taiwan is effectively considered the Tasmania of China.
Trump's rocky relationship with China
In the Great Orange One's defence, Donald Trump has actually spoken out heavily against the One China policy under the veil of supporting Taiwan, when really it's China's monetary policies (the government sets its own exchange rate daily regardless of the market) and trade deals he's not happy about. But, determined to get under mainland China's skin, he's threatened to send more arms to Taiwan than the US currently does and do more trade with Taiwan at the expense of Chinese deals. But tariffs such as those would hurt US jobs, because China would reciprocate.
Then there's North Korea…
Of course, North Korea also identifies as a communist state. Unlike China however, North Korea has no ties to the US (other than human voodoo doll Dennis Rodman) and are military agitators, often threatening apocalyptic nuclear assaults on the US and even Australia. China has long held close diplomatic ties with North Korea, and is one of Kim Jong-Un's only allies. Although, the relationship isn't as strong as it once was and China has expressed concern over Kimmy's nuclear program, prompting Fresh Prince of North Korea to call out China as betrayers.
What's the US got to do with it?
Basically, Trump has told China's leaders that he's willing to continue brushing Taiwan in exchange for China placing sanctions on North Korea (like stop selling fuel) if Kim The Fat continues nuclear testing. This has pissed off Lil' Kim, who now is angrier than ever and threatened to start WWIII—despite his missile tests all failing so far.
Two-faced motives
Problem is, the US still sees China as an economic, political and military threat. China knows this, and North Korea is their military buffer zone to the north, keeping the US at an arm's length in South Korea. As it stands, China's military pales in comparison to the US. But they're modernising their force and ramping up international efforts. Especially in the South China Sea.
The South China Sea
This is the territorial struggle to the south. Beijing has been quietly positioning to occupy the barrier islands off the coast either side of the Philippines as far up as the Kuril Islands north of Japan. Known as the "First Island Chain", they would serve as protection from a military attack from the US. More worrisome, is the fact they've been constructing artificial islands to turn into military bases. But, the US isn't having any of it, and won't allow Beijing to occupy other territories or oceans of other countries to become an arms force. This is a major source of contention between the two nations, because as it stands, America is capable of damaging China both economically (by ending trade) and with force. Trump calls it "island building" and has warned China to stop.
What's stopping the US and China from going to war?
Money. They're the two biggest trade partners in the world, and if either places tariffs on the other it will significantly affect the other's economy. Meaning lots of job losses. China has acknowledged a trade battle would be bad for both countries. Ironically, the US exported more than $2.6 billion in nuclear reactors to China last year. But overall, the trade and territorial disputes aren't severe enough to warrant either side going to war anytime soon. North Korea is the biggest concern given its grievances with both countries. But Kimbecile has nothing to gain by waging war on the world. His forces pail in comparison to the US, and he'd be quickly be revealed as a fraud to his people once they were introduced to the internet and realise all the so called "facts" about The Real Kim Shady are in fact lies—that he's not a supernatural power, does use a toilet, isn't a fashion icon, and is terrible at basketball.

(Bloomberg) Swiss Finance Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf and her Italian counterpart Pier Carlo Padoan agreed to resolve the two countries' long-running dispute over undeclared funds in Swiss banks.
Italians with accounts in Switzerland should be able to regularize any untaxed assets via a voluntary disclosure program, potentially benefiting from a reduced penalty, according to an agreement signed in Milan on Monday. Tax authorities can also seek information from their counterparts to catch tax cheats in accordance with internationally accepted standards, the Swiss Finance Ministry said.
"The agreement will improve relations between Switzerland and Italy in the area of finance and taxation after years of controversy and simplify the regularization of untaxed assets," the ministry said in a statement.
Switzerland has taken several steps to rid itself of its image as a haven for untaxed assets. It has clinched withholding tax deals with the U.K. and Austria, which allow those governments to recoup past-due tax revenue while maintaining bank secrecy. Talks with Italy had dragged on since 2012 as political instability in Italy's government had prevented decision-making on the ministerial level.
Data Exchange
The Swiss government is also seeking to implement the automatic exchange of bank client information, which would effectively get rid of bank secrecy for offshore accounts. Parliament is expected to vote on the matter, which would implement a standard set by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, later this year.
This OECD standard will "be introduced between Switzerland and Italy in the future" and is seeking a data exchange deal with Germany in the medium term, Widmer-Schlumpf told reporters in Milan.
Among the tools Italian tax officials may use to find evaders are group queries, in which they request information from the Swiss based on behavioral patterns, the Swiss Finance Ministry said.
While no official numbers exist, Italians may have hidden some 185 billion francs ($195 billion) in Swiss accounts, according to a 2009 report from Helvea SA, a Geneva-based brokerage. Total undeclared funds stashed by Italians abroad amount to 230 billion euros ($260 billion), according to a Bank of Italy estimate cited by Il Sole 24 Ore.
Padoan declined to specify how much money Italy would get from the agreement, saying only that it would be "more than one euro."
The agreement also modifies taxation rules for cross-border commuters.

Princess Charlotte Randomly Recited Queen Victoria Quote?
Did 2-year-old Princess Charlotte randomly recite a quote that her great ancestor, Queen Victoria, coined in the 1800's? That's the bizarre claim in one of this week's new tabloids, but Gossip Cop exclusively has the truth.
According to the National Enquirer, the young daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton recently shocked palace staffers by channeling her long-deceased relative, who served as the Queen of England from 1837 until her death in 1901. A supposed "source" tells the magazine that after a recent playdate with a group of other toddlers, Princess Charlotte "commented to her royal helpers: 'The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.'" These famous words were spoken by Queen Victoria in the 19th century.
Of course, it's quite unlikely that a 2-year-old could put together such an articulate sentence, let alone one that was said a century ago by her late relative. Regardless of how absurd this story sounds, Gossip Cop still checked in with a royal insider, who laughed off the tabloid's tale before assuring us it's "not true." Unfortunately, this wouldn't be the first time we've had to call out the magazine for publishing a bogus report about the royal tyke.
Gossip Cop recently busted the outlet for falsely claiming the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge refused to throw a "baby beauty bash" for Princess Charlotte and her friends. We also debunked the publication's phony story about the royal family believing Princess Charlotte is the reincarnation of Princess Diana. This latest article from the repeatedly discredited tabloid is equally untrue.

Today was just a mellow day. A day of spending time with family. We got some things done around our place and then a few errands while Sebastian took a snooze in the car. It was nice to just take our time. I love days that don't fly by in a blink of a eye. Days where you can actually enjoy every minute. The rest of the day was just spent at the in laws. We try to get up there every Sunday so Sebastian can visit Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop, aunts, uncles and cousins! And I spend most of my time with Lilly the little lady of the house. I really can't get enough of her and make it my mission to make her smile as much as I can. I always like to do mini photo shoots with Lilly. The camera loves her.
I really can't get over how precious Sebastian is with Lilly. I feel like he's going to make one great big brother :D
I have many more. But these are my favorites. Isn't she cute!
The rest of my free time was spent hemming some jeans. My first project with my sewing machine. Long over due but it's been hard to find some time.
With the guidance from my mother in law I was able to get them all hemmed up and ready to wear tomorrow when me and my boys go on our Valentine's date to the Please Touch Museum! It will be a blast. I'll be sure to take lots of picture but you already knew that ;)
Well for all of you who have work tomorrow. Suckerrrrr. Just kidding. I do apologize. I am a little giddy. More than I should be I think.

More frustration- 11:56 p.m. 2003-02-14 more wierdness. I tried adding this to a previous entry, and it was invisible. So, to avoid throwing my laptop across the room, I am just going to try to make it another entry.
After too much tinkering, and a broken heart (image), my husband has figured that there is something in the (overly ambitious) table script that I copied that is centering the heart next to my text. So, the bigger the right side gets, the lower down the heart goes... Ay Chihuahua!
So, instead of turning in early with my lovely husband, here I sit, making another graphic to put below my heart to add space to that side... Give UP already!!!!
I also need to see to my Guestbook. it is Goth Black to go with the template I was going to originally use, and I tried downloading code from Poo Designs, and it didn't work. I may try to see if I can alter the color code in the black template - because I am obsessive about this right now...
Not that anyone has signed yet. I went to my Banner hit statistics, and it looked like someone "clicked through" to my site, but no one has signed in. I'm a bit paranoid, because one of my favorite diarists on Diary-X, themusewithin, has just closed her guestbook because of rude and harassing posters. Hmmmm. Caveat poster.

Credit Crunch Takes Its Toll
Commercial Real Estate Feels The Effects of Fewer Buyers For Pooled Mortgage Securities
The fuel behind the skyrocketing commercial real-estate prices of the past three years -- cheap debt and easy lending terms -- is running low. As a result, high-risk buyers might be left behind and the pace of real-estate companies going private might slow.
Low-cost loans with lenient terms have propelled the commercial-real-estate market to what many feared was an unsustainable level. The boom was propped up by the commercial-mortgage-backed securities markets, which allowed banks to issue mortgages, pool them and sell them...

Laundry Day
Most of the time, I don't mind. Mr. Hobbitfeet and Boy do the dishes. I almost never put my hands in the dish water. It's a pretty sweet trade off I think. Most of the time.
There are, however, four people in my house. Girl changes her outfit at least three times a day and tosses everything on the floor making it impossible to tell which are clean and which are dirty. Let's be honest, I never remember what she wore, or when and for how long she wore it. Also, I've had shingles for the past couple weeks. They were on my left shoulder, and I am left handed. If you've never had shingles, you should know that they run on a nerve line and hurt like crazy. I felt as if I had been shot in the shoulder, and everything I've read says the pain will stick around for at least another two or three weeks (if I am lucky).
What I am trying to say is, I haven't done the laundry in about 2 weeks, when I normally do it twice a week. Although Mr. H. stepped up and took over most the work while I was sick. He didn't do any laundry. Now I've been complained to, nobody has clothes, I need to pull my shit together and get it done.
This is when I hate laundry. When it's piled high and will take at least ten loads to make a noticeable dent and I have turned my bedroom floor into dirty clothes foothills. I

Wife does our laundry, not because I'm lazy, but because she doesn't trust me to keep her clothes the same color. That aside, she does a pretty shitty job. All I ask is you don't leave the shit in the dryer for two days to wrinkle up. My work clothes must be hung up, so I don't look like a wrinkled slob at work. BUT NOOOOOO, that never happens. I usually end up rewashing my work clothes because she fucked em up. Damn her. :) Hey by the way.....a) I hope you're feeling better, and 2) thank you for the link love. I love reading your posts, always humorous.

TxGambit- It does seem to be a much more difficult task then it's billed as.Recently, I've been trying to teach my son how take care of it.
Cameron- I think you're awesome, but folding laundry isn't the same as washing, you could lend a hand. Plus there is a new fangled thing called an iron. I'm just saying.

Shoe Recommendations
Shoes play an important, and underrated, part in our everyday lives. Shoes serve to protect our feet, maximize athletic performance, and apply the finishing touches to an outfit. The right shoes can even increase confidence and positively affect our mood! Likewise, the wrong shoe can have a negative impact on many aspects of our daily life, most notably by causing pain.
Shoe companies, in an effort to sustain a profit, try to make one pair of shoes as universal as possible. They aim to please the population average by making shoes for people with average activity level, normal foot type, normal skin moisture, and average fashion choices. The downside to universally made shoes is people who fall outside the "normal" limits for one or more of these criteria may have difficulties in a "regular" shoe. There are specific nuances to how particular companies make their shoes, and consulting with your doctor or specialty shoe store employee can help make sure you are in the right shoes.
Here are some general recommendations when shopping for shoes:
- If the shoes don't feel good in the store, they won't feel good later. Shoes have their maximum shock absorption capability when you first purchase them, and it only decreases with time.
- Higher price generally means higher quality, until you reach the $100 price point. Look for shoes that retail between $50-$100. Cheaper shoes are likely to be lower quality, and more expensive shoes are likely to have features that are not necessary for the average customer. Certainly, high end athletic shoes and dress shoes will fall outside of this range, and they may be necessary, and well worth the cost, for individuals with higher performance demands. (Note: Price refers to full retail price, not sale price. Don't shy away from a good shoe sale!)
- Getting a shoe with "Motion Control" or "Extra Support" may be unnecessary, and potentially harmful in people with certain foot types. Stick to a high quality "neutral" shoe, without all the bells & whistles, unless otherwise instructed by an expert.
- Employees at specialty shoe stores, such as Rogue Running, Karavel Shoes, and others have tremendous knowledge of the shoes, when compared to the average worker at the local mall shoe store or sporting goods store. They will be able to lead you towards specific brands and shoe models that will feel better for your unique feet.
- If your feet sweat, avoid occlusive materials such as leather or suede.
- Good News for Women...High heel shoes are not forbidden! As long as you do not have pain in your feet, legs, or back, high heel shoes can be just fine to wear, so long as you rotate between flats and other shoes. Be cautious not to wear high heels too often, as your foot will adjust to the position of the shoe, leading to equinus contracture of the Achilles tendon. High heels can also cause more pain on the ball of your foot and lead to higher risk of ankle injury.
- If the shoes don't look like a foot, they're not good for your feet! Most people do not have "pointy feet", so wearing pointy shoes too frequently will place the toes in an undesired position. This may lead to corns, calluses, bunions, hammertoes, and other painful conditions.

Art Colony of the Midwest
By Linda Tancs
Impressionist painter Theodore Clement Steele found artistic inspiration in the scenic hillsides of southern Indiana in Brown County over a century ago. Others followed, creating an art colony in the Midwest. Steele's life and works (not to mention five hiking trails on 211 acres) make for an interesting visit at T.C. Steele State Historic Site. Enjoy guided tours of Steele's studio (where early morning light filters through floor-to-ceiling windows) and home, hike one of his well-trodden trails or stroll through Selma Steele's restored gardens. The property is located in Belmont, midway between Bloomington and Nashville, Indiana.
Indiana's Other Grand Prix
By Linda Tancs
Indiana has, you might say, a need for speed. Just as the engines are cooling down in Speedway, they're revving up again in LaPorte. Only this time, the action is on the water. The Maple City Grand Prix is taking place from June 3 to June 5, a tunnel boat racing event on Stone Lake on Saturday and Sunday that attracts daredevils from across the country and Canada. The boat parade downtown on Friday promises lots of excitement for autograph seekers and boat enthusiasts. There's also a fireworks display on Saturday. Best of all, the event is free, including parking and shuttle services.
Indiana's Best Kept Secret
By Linda Tancs
Open to the public and free, the Indiana War Memorial Museum and the Col. Eli Lilly Civil War Museum are two of Indiana's best kept secrets. Along with 24 acres of parks, monuments, sculptures, statues, and fountains, they encompass the best historic site in the state. Honoring local veterans and educating citizens about the military history of the state and country, no other city in the United States maintains as many acres dedicated to honoring veterans, and only Washington D.C. has more veterans' monuments. The Indiana War Memorials Plaza Historic District is located in downtown Indianapolis.
Ode to Indy
By Linda Tancs
What racing enthusiast wouldn't want to lay down a hot lap for a chance to qualify for the Indy 500! You can indulge that fantasy at Dallara IndyCar Factory in Speedway, Indiana. Located near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the facility offers visitors the chance to get behind the wheel of full car simulators or box cart simulators equipped with iRacing. That feature is part of their Interactive Zone, where racing buffs can also immerse themselves in Dallara Automobili history and learn the engineering of an IndyCar. Want to take a victory lap at the Speedway? They offer that, too; choose a two-seat IndyCar, Nascar, or event car.
A Presidential Christmas
By Linda Tancs
The year is 1888, and United States President-elect Benjamin Harrison is preparing to celebrate Christmas with his family at their homestead on North Delaware Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. That's the scene depicted on 13 December at the Benjamin Harrison Home, the family residence of the only United States President elected from Indiana. Step back in time for a unique Victorian Christmas tour of this 1875 Italianate home. Not one to surrender traditions of hearth and home, Benjamin Harrison was the first President to have a decorated Christmas tree in the White House.
America's Christmas Hometown
By Linda Tancs
It's hard to miss the spirit of the season in a town called Santa Claus, Indiana. Enjoy the Christmas Celebration, which takes place on the first three weekends in December. The Christmas-themed attractions include the Candy Castle, Santa's Post Office, and Santa's Tree of Lights, which comes to life hourly at Kringle Place. While you're in town, take a drive through the Land of Lights at Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort. Munch on roasted chestnuts as you shop at the Christmas Store and craft stalls. Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
Persimmons Rule in Indiana
By Linda Tancs
The persimmon is an edible fruit, a large berry about the size of an apricot with a tomato-like skin. In southern Indiana the fruit is a native delight, its abundance celebrated each year during the Persimmon Festival in Mitchell, Indiana. This year's event runs from 17 to 24 September. A major highlight, of course, is the parade on 24 September at 2 p.m., one of Indiana's largest parades. It forms at Lehigh Field, moving west on Main Street to Seventh Street, then north on Warren, west to Eight and ending at the high school. Save your appetite for the persimmon pudding. Last year's concoction was a mix of buttermilk, heavy cream, butter, eggs, a little vanilla and a touch of cinnamon. If that doesn't sound gooey enough for you, then maybe you should have tried last year's Gooey Butter Cake, winner of the Persimmon Novelty Dessert award.

LOVING this project you are doing!
LOVING this project you are doing!
I know the shot you mean Brinn, but it's not the one I'm thinking of. He's sitting in the cockpit between takes, smoking. I really hope I didn't imagine it...
anyway, I've been thinking that if you were in the cockpit, you'd be able to see the front of the falcon on your left. I started to make a model, which would only be the front pylons, to see how much would be visible.
But I got a little carried away. The following renders are just for fun.
The building is a fairly accurate, if un-detailed, model of the Elstree Studios building which housed the fullscale falcon and the Rebel Base in ESB. You'll probably notice, though, that my falcon only has three landing gear, consistent with the ANH Half Falcon. Just thought it went with my cockpit.
The landing gear themselves are modeled after some more blueprints I got with the cockpit. I'm thinking that as a final touch, when I'm done with the cockpit, I'll detail the tops and visible sides of the pylons, and do a few renders from chewie's seat.
Hmmmm..... Now I want to see this clip and I hope you didn't imagine it either!
NICE SHIP MAN!! Good job! Can't wait to see out the cockpit window with the front forks there.
The view from Chewbacca's seat.
adding some plating and larger greebles
Man - you have done two things no one (that I know of) has ever done.
1) I never thought about it, but your right. You would be able to see the front of the ship. I've never seen that view in any publication.
2) You are the first person who has documented the scale of the real Falcon next to a person. Your render really gives you a better since of the size of the Falcon.
One more for good measure.
Happy new year, folks!
faustus, brinn, stormy and yellow jacket, Thanks! I'm glad these are being appreciated!
I always like to take fantasy objects and think, 'what would it look like if I were just standing there'. Hence the thinking about that the pylons would be visible. The full scale falcon is approximated from how large the tube behind the cockpit would have to be to accomodate the cockpit itself. However, there's a lot of great pictures of the full scale falcon at elstree studios with folks standing around it that really makes it feel real and gives a real sense of scale.
Thank again!
here's one more view of it. this is from Luke's point of view.
"What's that flashing!?"
wish I had time to photoshop some stars in.
At some point I plan to render the same shot with the Deathstar in view, for a "That's no moon" view.
that's great man.
Gives you real cockpit perspective and puts you in the ship.
I'm loving this even more. What program are you using for this project?
OH WOW!!! These renders look SWEET! How COOL to see what you'd see if you were sitting there??
Love this ship and your project!! THANKS MAN!! And HAPPY NEW YEAR to YOU!
Thanks Brinn and Cessnadriver! this project, although it's taken over my life a bit, is really fun to work on, I'm glad you guys are liking it.
Junkpilot, I'm working in sketchup, with the indigo renderer plugin.
hey guys, sorry no updates for a while. Holidays put a wrench in everything and I'm trying to get back on track.
In the meantime, here's another "just for fun" render, which I just find sort of pleasing, of the falcon body I'm working with. I would love any critiques of the exterior, especially in the mandible area. I'm working loosely from the 5' falcon, sort of combining it with details from the full scale (hence the temporary all wood facade)
will get back to the cockpit ASAP
hope you guys enjoy.
Looking sharp! great stuff but what plating setup do you portray here? The Falcon on The empire strikes back (Fine molds Kit) or the Amt/Erlt kit?
Cause the Big greebles I see here are from the Amt/Erlt model.
Keep up the cool rendering!
thanks sqbiedoo!
yeah, the plating is roughly frankensteined together from a couple of sources. I've been waffling with the level of accuracy I want for the mandibles, since they'll only feature out the window. But my feeling is that I should pick a version and stick with it/go for the gusto, given the standard I've set with the interior.
I've be researching the 5' Falcon and found a lot of great references of that. The extensive research done on that production model would make it the easiest choice. For a while I toyed around with modeling after screen grabs of the Full Scale ESB falcon (I'd prefer to do the ANH Half Falcon, but the actual full scale model is mostly incomplete, greeble wise, on the top surfaces), but for that I'd only have the shots existent in the movie--which, though they're a fair chunk, are not as clear or prolific as all the photos I can find of the 5-footer.
Last edited by SteveStarkiller; Jan 5, 2011 at 3:02 PM. Reason: misused a word
I love what youve done here. Altho my opinion may be a little biased,go with the 5 fter
BTW-That guy on the top really gives it a nice touch of scaling
Good stuff, Steve! I agree, use the 5-ft. The full-scale MF was constructed from photos of the 5-ft anyway, which has the better (kit-bashed) detailing and you'll have lots of references to work off of.
And from the starwars.com article (http://www.starwars.com/hyperspace/m...9.html?page=4s), it's mentioned they used automotive scrap: "Brian Johnson elected to use existing mechanical parts and miscellaneous pieces from car wrecks found at the numerous junkyards dotted across London". It would be really difficult to get ahold of anymore information as to what specific parts those are than what you could get screen grabs of, which is really not a lot to go on.

Man, this keeps getting better and better! Really cool adding the view of the body of the Falcon out the viewports.
I know you're basing this on the ANH cockpit, and I know it's a really geeky thing to comment on. . . but the "missing" center divider on the forward window is bugging me!!
whoa, yeah I think I may have to go for the 5-footer, take a look at this:
there's a lot missing here...
Has anyone made a scale model based on the life size falcon? you know, with the recessed floodlights on the under belly, and the other weird details like that?
It might be kind of cool, actually, to make a cg model of it....
Thanks for the advice guys!
Ok, finally back to work. Got the top row complete!
looking back I see that I've already posted a "top row complete!" before, but now I'm serious (until the next big re-fit of all my details...)
anyway, the biggest part of this instance is what I'll call the Graviscope Readout. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to get it to glow, but I can't seem to get it to work right with the indigo renderer.
Thanks, folks!

Floating scale of tolerance
March 31, 2003
When it comes to racist behavior by police officers, the NYPD seemed to have the patience of Job. Until Joseph Locurto came along.
Locurto was fired - at the urging of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani - for riding on a float in which he and two firemen took tasteless swipes at blacks during a Labor Day parade in Broad Channel in 1998. It was his first offense.
His case stands in stark contrast to those of other officers who were found guilty of racist behavior. A review of 20 such cases shows that only five of those cops were fired. All five were habitual offenders. Three had lied under oath - grounds for dismissal under former Police Commissioner Howard Safir.
The cases, from 1991 to 1998, span two mayors and four police commissioners. They were handled by the department's former Trials Commissioner, Rae Koshetz, and culled for evidence by Locurto's attorney, Christopher Dunn. Federal judge John Sprizzo, who is presiding over the hearing in Locurto's case, indicated last week that he is reading those cases closely.
Now, let's examine them.
On May 4, 1991, a former detective was found guilty of "addressing school monitors in a discourteous manner" and "uttering an ethnic slur to a civilian," as well as hitting a civilian. Penalty: none. The department decided his demotion from detective after the incident occurred was enough.
On June 1, 1992, an officer was found guilty of "addressing a resident in a discourteous and disrespectful behavior" and "uttering an ethnic slur." Penalty: loss of 10 vacation days.
On Sept. 15, 1992, an officer was found guilty of shoving a Traffic Enforcement Agent and "directing an ethnic slur." Penalty: loss of 15 vacation days.
On Nov. 7, 1992, an officer was convicted of punching a handcuffed prisoner and "wrongfully directing an ethnic slur toward a crowd." Penalty: suspension without pay for 30 days and one-year probation.
Another officer was found guilty of "uttering derogatory racial remarks" to 75th Precinct officers. "If you get it wrong, I will take you out and hang you from a tree," the officer also told the others. He also said, "All right, it's time for you to get to the back of the bus where you belong." The officer also made inappropriate sexual remarks. His penalty: a 20-day suspension without pay.
The department noted that the officer "was previously found guilty for loss of a gun for which he forfeited 10 vacation days." It added that "the respondent's derogatory and inappropriate sexual remarks to members of theservice were particularly troubling coming from a mid-level manager."
Now let's look at some of the dismissals.
On Nov. 20, 1995, an officer was found guilty of uttering an ethnic slur and punching a colleague in the nose, causing serious injury. The officer had been found guilty in five prior cases, including driving while intoxicated and making false statements.
Another officer was dismissed on Dec. 11, 1996 for making "false and misleading statements" and for addressing a police officer in a discourteous and disrespectful manner. "Do a dance for the man," the officer told one colleague. "Why don't you go drive Miss Daisy, you Uncle Tom?" he told another. In dismissing him, the Department noted that the officer had an extensive disciplinary record and had helped a tenant gain "access to a landlord's basement by kicking in a door and lying at an official interview."
A third officer was dismissed on Dec. 16, 1998, for "using discourteous and disrespectful remarks regarding a person's race, religion, gender and sexual orientation; using excessive force to effect an arrest, causing physical injury; and making false statements during an official investigation." The department noted that the officer "has been involved in several incidents of abusive behavior," including having been placed on a year's probation for using unnecessary force and having 21 cases with the Civilian Complaint Review Board. He also was designated a chronic sick-leave abuser.
"The commissioner stated that it does not appear that further discipline would correct that behavior," the department said.
A fourth dismissed officer was found guilty on Feb. 18, 1998, of telling another person: "Your husband is a weasel. I'll show you the kind of person you're dealing with. This is not India, we speak English here." He had also, the department said, conducted "his private affairs, including rent collection, while off-duty and dressed in uniform" and had been convicted of committing an off-duty assault; the improper use of a firearm, and twice using excessive force on duty.
Lastly, on Feb. 19, 1998, an officer was dismissed after making "disrespectful remarks regarding a person's race" by saying to a member of the Yonkers police department: "How can you stick up for that black guy over me?" In dismissing the officer, the NYPD noted that he had been "found guilty of lying at two department hearings and at his departmental trial."

ERP solutions in the mid-market have evolved to the point that every one of the major provider's software products provide all the basic functions. When purchasing ERP solutions, companies typically choose a comprehensive bundle of integrated software to meet their needs -- some combination of capabilities like financial, manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, HR, CRM and so on.
However, third party products do provide peripheral functionality. While these bolt-on products may not be needed by a large percentage of the software publishers' customers, those who do need them often find the additional functionality is a core need for their business.
There are many things to keep in front of mind when adding new products into an ERP software solution and the right vendor partnership can be key in navigating these waters. Software publishers normally have bolt-on products which they prefer (and sometimes sell as a re-branded product). Additionally there are products that are marketed independently and often have no ERP vendor support, which can add workload for the IT department and be more challenging for integration.
When looking at add-on products, ask the following questions:
- How Is It Supported?
If the bolt-on software is sold by the ERP publisher, who is standing behind the products integration (middleware)? When troubleshooting, who gets the call -- the ERP publisher or the bolt-on vendor?
- Who Manages Training?
If purchasing the product through the ERP publisher's authorized business partner, is the business partner trained on the software? Does or can the business partner provide implementation, configuration, training and ongoing support?
- Who Manages Updates?
Are the update cycles for the bolt-on software the same as the ERP software update cycles? Who is responsible to make sure an update on either end does not break the middleware?
- Who Manages Hardware?
What additional hardware is required to run these bolt-on products? You may need more RAM, additional storage capacity or possible a new server. How does this impact your backup solution?
- Will the Software Integrate with Hosting?
If you are running in a hosted environment, has the software been tested in that environment and are there any licensing restrictions?
- Can the Software be integrated with SaaS ERP solutions?
In summary, third party software can bring valuable functionality to the table. However, due diligence is needed to minimize future issues.
If you have questions about varying ERP software solutions, give Parallel Solutions a call at (440) 498-9920. We are a full service provider and our experienced staff can help assess all your needs from software to training and support.

Wow. What a year 2015 was. I got to hike up a mountain, get into fitness, explore my southern side, spend time on a beach, move to a different school, move out, and really start to find myself. I ended up getting really busy towards the end of the year and neglecting what I love: blogging and YouTube. I've been active on all other social media, but I want to get back into the swing of things here as well.
Today I'm sharing with you a few of my New Years Goals as well as a few words to live by in 2016.
- Travel to a few places I've never visited before [& document them all here].
- Find an internship/job that I really enjoy and gives me great experience.
- Continue to live my active lifestyle.
- Find my inner 'zen' by practicing yoga & reading more books.
-"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"
-"If there is no way, create one"
-"We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone"
Let me know in the comments what your goals are for this year!

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Monday moved Supreme Court Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar to take notice of municipal lawlessness in Bani Gala; with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) refusing to move against law breakers.
The PTI chief wrote a letter to the apex court in order to draw court's attention towards plight of the area where "the encroachers, land mafias and anarchic builders who are together turning Bani Gala into a concrete jungle".
He urged the court to compel the CDA to take action against the miscreants involved in encroachments after massive cutting of trees and constructing unplanned and unregulated plazas.
He added that law enforcers have chosen to "allow encroachers and builder to make a mockery of the law".

In 1979, Everette Maddox, the patron saint of New Orleans Poetry, began assembling friends and other poets for drinking and poetry every Sunday afternoon on the tree shaded patio behind the Maple Leaf Bar. Thirty seven years later the event is still going strong. Everette died unnecessarily young but is still remembered for his hard drinking, hard partying, and soulful words. One hears his name constantly among New Orleans poets, and I, like many others, have penned work inspired by his words and spirit.
Flags for Everette Maddox
returning home to New Orleans I hightailed it from the airport to the Maple Leaf Bar to sip beer and listen to poems read in the mild late afternoon the Sunday after Mardi Gras there's perfection on the Leaf's back patio plastic cups of Abita Springs beer at a wobbly wrought iron tables a mockingbird in the fig tree singing of the football Saints and of Saints Marching In and why we live here words flowing tumbling and lulling my head tilts back eyes float skyward to Sweet Gum and Red Oak, Myrtle and Dogwood their limbs lacing each other below the clouds and there amid entwined branch-work rippling in the breeze like so many flags... bras... bras hanging in the trees bras of every shape and size of New Orleans woman proof of the Mardi Gras party I missed last week. red silk, blue lace, spring green, black-transparent till barely even gray or plain white cotton sailing in the air dancing, twisting free at last to work it on out. as Nancy reads from Everette Maddox's last and posthumous collection poems of loving and living my chair rocks unsteadily on the patio's rough bricks I crane my head and stare enchanted by brassieres and Everette's words. less than a drunken stumble away in the flowerbed's cool earth lies Everett's grave marker (though not his grave). Everette would have liked the flags, waving for unknown breasts flying high above his words begging poetic license one of them too expansive for any but the largest Big Easy Amazon but how could even she be tall enough to hang the strap over that ten foot high branch? the party I missed could never match the one in my head and the sweaty swirl of fabric and lace flags dancing the funky monkey behind my eyes. but Everett was there. I'm sure he was.

How to Convert Your Social Audience into Real Leads with CTA's
Getting customers and/or prospective customers to do what you want them to do is the ultimate marketing goal, but with the average attention span of a human being down to eight seconds, you don't have much time.
The Social Marketer's Guide to Social Media ROI
Marketing, converting, and generating leads is the standard practice for driving growth and increasing value, but how can you do it effectively when most people just scan content instead of absorbing it?
Hubspot's methodology for the four stages of inbound marketing tells us that one way to solve this problem is to employ an effective call-to-action (CTA) campaign.
This encourages visitors to take the initiative by clicking buttons on your landing pages. Here are some great CTA tips to use for your own brand.
Straight to the Point
Customers should understand what value your product has by simply looking at your CTA in an ad. There are about 35 characters per description line in most pay-per-click ads, so when it comes to letting your audience know exactly what you want, you have to get creative!
If you're promoting an application or newsletter, start your CTA with "Subscribe" or "Download." If your company is running an e-commerce website, begin your CTA with "Buy" or "Shop."
Short, one-word actions are simple and easy to read. If you want click-through rates, you have to be direct. There is a big difference between "Download Option is Available" and "Download Now!"
Stop Being Boring
If you want a strong response from your audience, infuse your CTA with personality and enthusiasm. Adding emotion to your CTA will help forge your brand identity, ensure consistency with larger brand messaging initiatives in your marketing organization, and enhance your chances of standing out.
Select unusual words. Instead of "See our scores," add a sense of excitement, urgency, and action: "See how we've been keeping score."
This kind of confidence draws attention to your digital content, and ultimately inspires more click- throughs.
Fear of Missing Out
One of the best CTA tactics is to mention a limited-time offer or promotion that will be gone after a specific time period. Customers hate missing out on an opportunity, especially if they know that they'll be getting more than what they paid for or will have to pay more for the same product after the promotional time period is over.

Prompts like "20% Off Twitter Ads This Weekend!" will make it hard for customers to ignore. Just like adding personality and emotions, the FOMO tactic will have your customers clicking your CTA from simple curiosity.
The Call to the Action
What are your customers going to benefit from, once they click on your link? It might sound selfish, but customers will always think about the catch of each CTA. What's in it for them? You need to have a unique selling point (USP) to drive more leads.

— Social Media Examiner (@SMExaminer) February 3, 2016
Be very clear when stating the action and reasoning for each CTA. Remember that customers will always ask why.
Social Analytics Pro Tip: Use a unique Bitly link for each social network you're using in your campaign so you can measure clicks and understand which network drives the most web traffic for your brand.
Go BIG
Once prospective customers have made it from social to your site, you don't want your CTA to be difficult to find. Chances are, your potential customers will miss it and leave your website.
Make your buttons large, about 650 pixels wide. Once you find the perfect place to set your button, test it. The only way to know if your CTA is effective is to run A/B tests!
A great tip is to place your CTA button above the fold, where it will most likely get more clicks, or below the fold for higher-quality leads.
Make it easy and accessible for your customers to get what they want from your website, as quickly as possible. Your CTA should make customers want to click, so the design should not blend into the rest of your website. Choosing the right colors is important — make your CTA pop!
Overall, words are powerful, and learning how to use the right ones for your CTA will help attract leads and increase your conversions. So start exploring, get creative, and begin coming up with the best phrases for your call-to-action!

Liam is 6 and this will be his 4th Half Marathon. He lives for race day!
Liam was born with cCMV which caused him to have Cerebral Palsy. Since he can not walk/run he runs with our awesome organization Team Hoyt. Liam has been racing with them for almost 3 years. The smiles and laughs that he is given by his runner going fast is priceless.
Allison Bryne is Liam's Physical Therapist at CHKD. She grew up in a family of runners and started running in high school but wasn't really that committed until she went to college. She ran her first half marathon in 2008 and has ran about
10 half marathons since then. She's also ran 2 full marathons and has a third
in the books for this coming fall.
Liam and Allison have ran 3 races together for Team Hoyt (so far). Liam loves to see her outside of their "work" environment and thay have a great time together on race days!
Please donate to our fundraiser for Team Hoyt. This is our only major fundraiser of the year. It helps with strollers and their upkeep so we can keep racing.
The Team: $235 TOTAL RAISED SO FAR

|About Us
Expat Singapore started in September 1997 with the aim of providing a one-stop online information resource for the large expatriate community, for both the ones already living in Singapore, as well as those about to make the move or considering it. We felt that for the thousands of expatriates settling in Singapore each year, the lack of adequate information and hence preparation can result in an unpleasant move, culture shock and even psychological and physical discomfort. The key to understanding and adapting to a new environment is information, and that's where we come in.
The internet is of course the ideal medium for our purposes. Through Expat Singapore, expatriates from all over the world who are about to move to Singapore can easily access information, make contacts and post queries. There is no longer the need to sift through tonnes of guide books and pamphlets that are probably outdated anyway. If there is a specific question that cannot be found anywhere, email us and we will try to provide an answer or at least point you the the right direction.
Ideally, we want to provide more than just information. We want to create a virtual community for expatriates in Singapore, a focal point where they can exchange tips, share grouses, make friends and hopefully organise activities where human, not electronic, interaction can take place.In case you're wondering, our website is run by a small team consisting of both expats and non-expats. We devote many hours to updating and improving the site, so help us out by visiting our sponsors you see on the site. Or if you see something you like or dislike about the site, drop us an email. We need your feedback in order to change the things we're doing not so well, as well as to continue doing what we're doing right. Above all, keep on surfing on our site and we hope you enjoy Singapore as much as we do.

Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello's wedding is shaping up to be a star-studded affair!
Friends and family members have been flocking to the Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Fla., for the A-list couple's Sunday evening wedding, and the guest list is not without its fair share of famous names.
Vergara's Modern Family and Hot Pursuit costars—among other famous faces—have been sharing photos from the weekend festivities' various parties.
The wedding celebrations kicked off Friday, when the couple and their families arrived in Miami. On Saturday, everybody spent the day relaxing by the pool (with some in matching "#Jofia" shirts, no less) and the night singing and dancing at a cocktail and desserts party after the rehearsal dinner.

Since Friday, the couple and their well-known guests have been documenting all of the weekend's fun. Keep scrolling to see all of the celeb guests who are in Florida celebrating #Jofia!
Vergara's Hot Pursuit costar Reese Witherspoon posed with her son on the Breakers' lawn.

Primary Sources
Primary sources were either created during the time period being studied or were created at a later date by a participant in the events being studied (as in the case of memoirs). They reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer. Primary sources enable the researcher to get as close as possible to what actually happened during an historical event or time period.
See the Finding Historical Primary Sources Library Guide for a comprehensive guide to locating primary sources.
See associated pages on
Archives (archival collections at local institutions and beyond),
Digital Collections (digital archives on Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies)
Newspapers (information on how to access historical newspapers).
Primary sources can be found in a variety of library tools:
For specific search strategies, see the Library's Guide to Finding Historical Primary Sources
Learn more about your topic in advance:
Use the bibliographies of secondary sources and reference sources to find citations to specific primary sources; search OskiCat to locate them on campus, or ask for assistance at the Library.
