Oh Jeanie these SOUL collages are a great idea - I think I need to do this too.
It's digging deep within and coming to terms with real emotions, some that lie low within and need to be acknowledged.
I often have that drowning feeling - being pulled in too many directions at once - we need to say NO at these times.
Your images are incredible.
A great post and thank you for baring your soul dear Jeanie.

This reminds me that there are essential parts of ourselves that never change. They may become more refined but are always at the center of who we are. Krista's recent selection of her wedding dress is a good case in point. She was 19-20 when she saw a dress that she fell in love with. Eight years went by and one day the time was right. She went shopping for the all important dress and after trying on many styles ended up choosing a dress that was very much like that dress she saw so many years ago.

What beautiful cards - even apart from their interesting meanings. You are a talented artist, Jeanie. I wonder what I'd put on my cards. Strangely, I find that as I get older I am not quite the person I always thought I was. I'm not sure yet if that is good or bad :)

What a unique collection of soul collages! I like them all, but have to say i resonate most with the time ones. Excellent images. Thanks for sharing with us, Jeanie!

When I started to read this post my heart sank. O no, soul food.
I was very wrong. Your cards are excellent in design and execution and they actually say something worth saying.
In your place I would keep them forever. - Wednesday, February 27, 2013

The cards are wonderful - I'm especially drawn to the ship and the rocks. How long has it been since you've listened to Aaron Neville's version of La Vie Dansante? It's a perfect song for a journey back to health!

VERY fun to see you collage cards, Jeanie and see what they say about you. We do grow, we do change, but much of who we are is who are that doesn't change so very much. It's interesting! Thanks for sharing these... Happy Days ((HUGS))

Each a window to your soul. I absolutely love each one. I couldn't agree more with you about time, the feeling of being fragmented, and even the masks, although I tend to be very transparent but there's always a little holding back for the sake of peace. Sigh... ;)
I think the one I can relate to the most right now is the feeling of being fragmented, of everyone wanting a piece of me or what I can do for them. It is one of the reasons I had to step back from creating a little and simply breathe again. I'm slowly getting my creative energies back. I am a giver and givers often forget to give to themselves too. :)
Wishing you a beautiful weekend, my friend. Breathe... ;)

Those are so beautiful! What a great window to your soul! I can relate to the many hands that want a piece of you... I feel that way right now. I have so many phone calls to return and emails to send and people to get together with, but at the same time, I'm really tired. And I don't feel like talking these days...

The collages are amazing! Had heard of this book before but forgot. Thank you for the reminder and for sharing the meaning of your cards. I think it would be helpful to try this exercise. I was just thinking this week about "old souls". Sometimes I feel like mine is one of these, although I really don't believe in reincarnation. It would explain the draw some people have to older places and things.

Detroit Public Schools Selects Thomas Built Buses Based on
Lifecycle Costing
"Thomas was the only manufacturer that offered a heavy-duty transit-style bus and was willing to work with us on the options we needed," said Dale Goby, executive director of the Office of Student Transportation, Detroit Public Schools. "We were moving to upgrade our fleet as part of our district turnaround effort, so we met with our fleet maintenance staff and Jim Wilkins of The Wilkins Group to develop specifications for our new buses. We chose the Saf-T-Liner® HD transit bus based on its projected long useful life with fewer maintenance needs, which will allow us to operate with reduced lifecycle costs."
In addition to the Saf-T-Liner® HD buses, Detroit Public Schools also purchased FS-65 conventional school buses for special education applications. The FS-65 conventional school bus is a flat floor model equipped with track seating. This feature offers school bus operators a highly adaptable seating and wheelchair configuration. "This flexibility is what we need to meet the ever changing special education transportation requirements," added Goby.
Detroit officials upgraded many of the components to reduce maintenance on the buses and lower lifecycle costs. Among their choices were such upgrades as aluminum air tanks, stainless steel exhaust systems, Caterpillar 3126E diesel fuel filters, and a Ridewell severe service rear air suspension. Extra accessories include LED-lit stop arms, extra side body turn signals, four-way heated remote controlled mirrors, Bostrom air suspension driver seat with Lord Motion Master control system, and with powder coated wheels.
Fully equipped with the various lifecycle elements spec'd, each new DPS bus cost about $20,000 more than a typical conventional and transit style bus. Is the additional cost worth it?
"I estimate that the net quantitative savings including extending the owning period, reduced driver injuries, reduced fuel costs, to say nothing of the sharply reduced maintenance costs and reduced shop personnel, to be $10 million to $12 million over the coming 15 years," he said.

Integration of decision support systems to improve decision support performance
Liu, S. and Duffy, A.H.B. and Whitfield, R.I. and Boyle, I.M. (2010) Integration of decision support systems to improve decision support performance. Knowledge Information Systems, 22 (3). pp. 261-286. ISSN 0219-1377

Decision support system (DSS) is a well-established research and development area. Traditional isolated, stand-alone DSS has been recently facing new challenges. In order to improve the performance of DSS to meet the challenges, research has been actively carried out to develop integrated decision support systems (IDSS). This paper reviews the current research efforts with regard to the development of IDSS. The focus of the paper is on the integration aspect for IDSS through multiple perspectives, and the technologies that support this integration. More than 100 papers and software systems are discussed. Current research efforts and the development status of IDSS are explained, compared and classified. In addition, future trends and challenges in integration are outlined. The paper concludes that by addressing integration, better support will be provided to decision makers, with the expectation of both better decisions and improved decision making processes.

Ok, im building my new engine. I have a low mileage stock-style balancer/dampner I can use...or I can fork out $180 for an SFI approved balancer/dampner. What the heck is the difference and does it warrant the extra cost?
I spoke to a guy at the SEMA convention one year who worked for Albert & Childs, the rod manufacturing guys, and he said they really aren't worth the money. He also indicated that they can cause problems by masking imbalances and creating weird harmonics. All in all, I think the stockers work just fine, regardless.
I've heard that the fluid balancers can leak, but don't know personally. I've seen 2 stock balancers come apart at high RPM at the track--not pretty. Whichever balancer you use, be sure to give it to the machinist doing the balancing of the lower rotating assy, also the flywheel.
The SFI balancer is certified for a certain RPM not to come apart. Some NHRA classes require this written certification and require proof. It is not a two piece balancer like your stock OEM unit. It will not slip on the rubber isolator or come off during high RPM's. If you are going to run on the track a lot I would spend the extra $$$$.

Rasansky Calls Budget "Non-Transparent," Says Increased Fees Are a Tax Increase and Introduces $21.7 Million in Savings
Mitchell Rasansky and Linda Koop celebrate the end of his eight years on the council and her birthday with glasses of grape cider. Rasansky later crushed the plastic glass with his foot and yelled, "Mazel tov!"
Sam Merten
City Manager Mary Suhm, Mayor Tom Leppert and CFO Dave Cook all stressed this morning that the city is facing the same budget challenges as other cities and states. As Cook briefed the city council for the last time before a more detailed budget is presented August 10, he said the more than 700 projected layoffs are expected to begin in August and claimed most other cities are in worse shape as some are laying off police officers, while Dallas plans to hire another 200 officers in the coming fiscal year.
He cited approximately $130 million in declining revenue as the most significant contributor to the $190 million deficit, and said Dallas is using similar methods as other cities to address the shortfall, such as implementing furlough days (which saves Dallas approximately $800,000 per day), closing public buildings and increasing user fees instead of raising taxes.
But, as far as Mitchell Rasansky is concerned, jacking up fees and raising taxes are one in the same. He claimed the proposed increases to utilities are equivalent to a 2.3 cent property tax hike.
"This is a tax increase," Rasansky said. "Anyway you want to look at it, it's a tax increase."

Long known as the council's tax hawk, Rasansky made the most out of his last opportunity to weigh in on the budget before he's replaced on Monday by Ann Margolin, who was in attendance. After thanking Suhm and her staff for their work, he offered some harsh criticism of the proposed budget.
"This is the most non-transparent budget I've ever seen since I've been down here at City Hall," he said.
Rasansky battled Leppert twice because the mayor only gave council members five minutes each to speak, as Rasansky blasted him for not giving him time to explain all of the $21.7 million in cuts he proposed.
He handed out a memo to the council (which you can see below) suggesting the city dip into the "unrealized gain" of $21.2 million in the city's investment pool that won't mature until early 2010. Although he acknowledged the city will lose some dough by cashing in early, he said pulling out $7.5 million would serve to close the gap or fund services on the chopping block.
Also among his nine suggestions is grabbing $10 million from the city's contingency fund that has contained approximately $20 million for the last 20 years and removing $1.5 million from the city's $5 million emergency fund.
Other cost-cutting measures offered up by Rasansky are reducing the Trinity River Corridor Project staff from 15 to eight, combining city bills into the same envelope, selling advertising on the envelopes and charging developers a 1-percent application fee when applying for tax abatements or other incentives.
Angela Hunt said she's confused about why Suhm can't provide council members with line item budgets to assist them in finding cuts and understanding how the money is spent. Suhm said cooking up a line item budget would force city staff to stop work on the budget, and she stressed that the numbers change on a daily basis.
Hunt also asked once again for the budget to be separated into departments, saying her constituents "don't think in terms of key focus areas." She dropped some numbers into an Excel spreadsheet on her own and expressed concern that it appears as though the Public Works and Transportation Department's budget will increase by more than 50 percent from the actual 2007-08 budget.
While it's a rough draft, her document (which was provided to Unfair Park) shows reductions of 73.7 percent to housing and 31.6 percent to libraries compared to the '07-'08 budget, yet the mayor and city council's budget is planning to see a 10.2 increase in funding.
"We've all got to roll up our sleeves on this budget because it's so challenging," she said.
Dave Neumann appeared enamored with Hunt, using her as an example on two separate occasions, once as a hypothetical constituent and another time as a citizen. He also praised her for previous comments when she stressed that the city must focus on providing citizens with core competencies.
"This is not a wish-list year for the budget," he said. "It's an essential-list year."
And it looks like next year's gonna be one of those "essential list" years too.
"Next year will be as challenging as this year," Mary Suhm said.
Leppert's reaction to seeing me a couple feet from him armed with my camera.

TOPEKA — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has nominated his chief counsel for the state Court of Appeals.
Brownback announced the nomination of Caleb Stegall Tuesday. The Senate must confirm the nomination. It will convene for a special legislative session Sept. 3.
Stegall is best known for defending American missionaries who were detained in Haiti after trying to remove 33 children they mistakenly believed had been orphaned in the country's 2010 earthquake.
His nomination to the state's second-highest court is likely to draw criticism from the governor's opponents, especially as it is Brownback's first appointment to a judgeship without screening by lawyers.
Brownback's office released endorsement letters from a bipartisan group of lawyers, including former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six, a Democrat who faced Stegall in abortion-related litigation.
Stegall, a Republican, says Tuesday he received support from prominent Democrats, including former Attorney General Steve Six and Lawrence attorney Dan Watkins. Six and Stegall have been on opposite sides of abortion litigation.
Stegall was introduced by Brownback during a Statehouse news conference. The Senate will have to confirm his nomination.
Last year the nominating commission passed over Stegall for two vacancies on the Court of Appeals. When lawmakers created a 14th judgeship on the court this year, speculation immediately centered on Stegall as the leading candidate.

THE last time Corey Brown rode in Perth, he had just won the Melbourne Cup on Shocking, was the nation's leading Group 1 rider and the hottest jockey in racing.
It was 2009 and Brown could do no wrong. Some three years later, and the champion jockey feels like he has to prove himself all over again.
In a sense, Brown has almost been a victim of his own success."I think you get to a point in your career where because you have done so well, if you are not winning every Group 1 race people think you are not riding well," Brown said.
"Over the last two years I've been quiet with Group 1 wins but every season I'm in the top two or three in the Sydney premiership.
"I'm in Perth tomorrow so I've missed six of the last seven Saturdays in Sydney and I'm only two wins off the lead in the premiership.
"I feel I'm riding well, I'm not going that bad even though I've come back to the pack a little."
Brown is hopeful of regaining that big-race winning groove when he rides at Perth's Ascot meeting tomorrow.
His main mounts are the Gai Waterhouse-trained Hallowell Belle in the Group 1 $500,000 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) and local hope King Saul in the Group 1 $1 million Railway Stakes (1600m).
Brown rides infrequently for the Waterhouse stable but the jockey and trainer are no strangers to Group 1 success, having combined previously with Tuesday Joy (Chipping Norton Stakes) and More Joyous (George Main Stakes).
Hallowell Belle is taking on unbeaten Perth sprint sensation Barakey and the talented Travinator but Brown believes he is riding the horse to beat.
"Barakey and Travinator will be tough on their home turf but Hallowell Belle is coming out of the Patinack Farm Classic, where she ran third and that was a pretty hot race," Brown said.
"The winner Mental is an absolute superstar and Sea Siren is a top mare, but Hallowell Belle was doing her best work late in that race.
"I really loved the way she attacked the line and when her owners rang to ask whether I'd be interested in riding her in Perth, I was more than happy to take the ride."
King Saul won the WA Guineas at the Railway meeting 12 months ago before running third in the Group 1 Kingston Town Classic.
He failed to find his true form during a disappointing three-race Sydney autumn campaign but looked to be back to his best when he won the Northerly Stakes first-up last month.
King Saul struggled when he failed to be a runner home behind Luckygray in the Lee Steere Stakes last start but Brown said there were excuses for the horse's flop.
"I liked his first-up win then last start he was trapped on the fence and didn't get a run," Brown said. "But King Saul is a handy horse, they took him to Sydney last autumn so they obviously have an opinion of him. I feel I'm on a good chance."

The jungle island of Borneo is a cradle for the world's strangest and most vulnerable wildlife.
The East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak contain some of Borneo's greatest wonders. Covered in thick jungle, the region is known as a sanctuary for endangered wildlife. Float up the Kinabatangan River on the look out for crocodiles, macaques and hornbills, and watch as families of rather comic-looking probiscus monkeys feed at a local sanctuary. Borneo also offers the rare opportunity to get close to the much loved – yet sadly disappearing – orangutan, an experience that stays with many travellers for the rest of their lives.
What people say
Borneo contains an amazing array of exotic wildlife seen nowhere else. We were privileged to see orangutans, rhinoceros hornbills and a herd of pygmy elephants in the wild. Thanks to our all of our guides for this fantastic experience.
What people say
This trip was a great way to see Borneo - we experienced various activities from history at Sandakan War Memorial to exploring underwater at the beautiful Manukan Island. I highly recommend if you just want to try a bit of everything - this is the trip for you!

Untamed Borneo , March 2017
Helen Royan
This was an excellent tour delivering on all promises. We saw so many birds and animals in their natural habitats. The visits to the animal sanctuaries towards the end of the tour - orangutan, proboscis monkey and sun bear - were memorable. The snorkelling was excellent - so many fish - and the visit to Mari Mari cultural village just topped things off. A great holiday experience I would recommend to anyone.

Most nationalities have visa-free access for up to three months. Other nationalities should check with their local Malaysian embassy or consulate.
Tipping isn't common practice in Borneo, however feel free to express your gratitude with a few extra ringgit for good services.
Internet access is available in large cities and tourist areas, but it unavailable or unreliable in remote and rural areas.
You'll have mobile coverage in major cities but access is unreliable outside of these areas. There is little or no coverage in the mountains, on the islands or in remote areas. Activate global roaming with your service provider if you wish to use your mobile phone while travelling.
Some hotels and tourist destinations in Borneo have western-style toilets but most places have only squat toilets. Soap and toilet paper may not be provided so you may like to carry some with you.
- Can of soft drink = 2 MYR
- Basic meal from street stall or market = 3-5
- MYR Bottle of beer in a bar or cafe = 10 MYR
- Seafood dinner = 20-25 MYR
Tap water in Borneo is not considered safe to drink. For environmental reasons, avoid buying bottled water and bring a bottle or canteen with you. Ask your leader where you can access filters to refill your supply, or carry your own purification tablets with you.
You may be able to use your credit card at large hotels, shops and restaurants in tourist areas. However, many places rely on cash, especially small local businesses.
You'll find ATMS in Borneo's large cities and urban areas, however they are far less common in rural or remote areas. Arrange for alternative payment options when travelling outside of these areas.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their Borneo tours. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

It looks a little stretched, but it was either that or a smaller picture with black bars. No question, I'll take the stretched version.
These games aren't cutting-edge, but they are classics. Each game brought back great arcade memories for me, and reminded me that I've been playing games for almost 25 years.
A good choice for people who don't already own Namco's two earlier collections.
Nothing but a shameless rehash of previously released titles repackaged as a new release. With only five games, this latest "classic" leaves you feeling a bit gipped.
The lack of SRAM is an incredible disappointment, especially this late in the GBA's life where even the most basic of game developments earn the precious save chip.
Nintendo PowerThe lack of extras is even more significant in the GBA collection because it consists of only five titles. [Nov 2005, p.112]
If you can live without high scores and multiplayer, then you'll be fine. Just don't bother if you already own the original Namco Museum and Pac-Man Collection. Rally-X isn't worth $20.

I lay in silence, dead. A woman came And laid a rose upon my breast and said: "May God be merciful." She spoke my name, And added: "It is strange to think him dead. "He loved me well enough, but 'twas his way To speak it lightly." Then, beneath her breath: "Besides" -- I knew what further she would say, But then a footfall broke my dream of death. Today the words are mine. I lay the rose Upon her breast, and speak her name, and deem It strange indeed that she is dead. God knows I had more pleasure in the other dream. Ambrose Bierce
This work is something of an oddity, especially when compared with the rest of Ambrose Bierce's work, being decidedly more sentimental than most thought this misanthrope could be. It was written on April 27, 1905 upon his hearing of the death of his wife, one Mary Ellen Day. She was known to him as Mollie, and he was known to have treated rather poorly. A note of regret?

I've watched a decent amount of Star Trek but I don't really feel like the new film has much to offer. Here are some reasons:
1. Star Trek already had an origin story in the TV series Enterprise as I understand it and I don't believe we need an updating of the characters. There have been a million films exploring the relationship between Kirk and Spock, enough already
2. John Cho plays Sulu and it's hard to picture him as anyone other than the guy who set stereotypes of Asian-Americans on screen back several decades as the lead in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.
3. There appears to be a pretty awkward sex scene in the trailer between Chris Pine's character and someone else. I'm not opposed to sex scenes but it doesn't seem very original Star Trekish. Also, Kirk appears to pick up every girl in sight in the opening couple of scenes. Kirk did have several love interests but he wasn't going out of his way to look for them. He just happily stumbled upon them: Hence the illusion the show created that space exploration is romantic.
4. I'm tired of franchises reinvnenting themselves to make an extra buck. I don't care of it was done well in Batman and James Bond. To me, using the brand name of the franchise with a completely different style of filmmaking reeks of commercial pandering to me. If your movie series has run its course, let it die or reinvent elements within your established framework. I believe a large-scale do over is kind of like cheating.
5. It seems so generic. Captain Kirk is basically made into some James Dean stereotype who's rebellious before he ends up being a devoted captain. Oooh, didn't see that plot twist coming.
6. They're calling it Star Trek. How pretentious is that? Not Star Trek VIII or Star Trek whatever number they are in the series. No they want to erase the memory that there were any Star Trek's before this one.

The BBC has announced that their drama 'Waterloo Road' will be launching an online spin-off from the original series which will show what's been happening to characters who have already graduated from that inner - city school.
I'm not familiar with the show at all, and I'm sure most of my readership (if any) are in the same boat. So here's the description supplied by an Anglophile named Ryan:
BBC drama set at a grim inner-city school where a new headmaster (Jason Merrells, Cutting It) tries to modernize despite the efforts of most of the lazy staff to sabotage him. Subplots revolve around the relationships of the staff and students, some of whom were involved in a fatal car accident.
You can find Ryan's website listed in the blogroll to the left.
The new online show is to be called 'Waterloo Road Reunited', and it won't just be a series of scripted episodes. There will also be fictional social network sites and audio clips.
"Unlike most dramas, Waterloo Road is unique in that every year popular characters have to leave the show because they leave school. We wanted to give fans a chance to follow their lives online. The video will focus on events that bring the ex-pupils together, but the story extends beyond video allowing the audience to follow their lives as if they were friends with them on Facebook."
- Sarah Clay of BBC Drama
I'm not sure anybody outside of Great Britain will have access to that online content, which will debut in the Spring of next year. Meanwhile, 'Waterloo Road' itself will be back with its sixth season in 2011 as well.

Gibby plays Goofy's Concern with Gogol Bordello in a surprise appearance at Webester Hall in Dec 09. He pretty much molests all the band members, but they do a decent rendition of one of my favorite songs.

Rausch Creek run, March 17. St. Patty's day
Rausch Creek run on St. Patty's day, Sunday March 17th. I will be going either way, as long as I can find a couple other Jeeps. Having a group is a lot more fun so I wanted to get the word out so there was time for people to consider it (even though it is kind of short notice :blush:. I realize it's a HUGE party day but for those who have "been there done that" This is a good alternate. Mostly greens, I'd like to try my new setup on a blue or two tho, there are plenty of green areas to play while doing the blues at the same time, nothing crazy.
Okay I've got 2 other jeeps lined up so we're a go would like to have a few more.
BTW the Comfort Inn near by gives a special rate for RC, it was $62.50 last October. And it's a decent place, free breakfast. |

Clos du Marquis St. Julien 2007
Winemaker's Notes:
With more than a hint of the Godfather about him, owner Jean-Hubert Delon is aman of extremely high standards but he is rightly pleased with this outstandingClos du Marquis. Easily of Classed Growth quality, its pure, crunchyblackcurrant and dark chocolate nose is followed by an elegant, minerallyblackberry and coffee palate with finely textured tannins and a rich, polishedfinish. Made with more Cabernet Sauvignon than last year (58%) this is veryclose to the magnificent 2006 and as good as the 2005, which is not somethingyou can say of many wines this year. Excellent value.
Member Reviews for Clos du Marquis St. Julien
Add your reviewBlackberry, cassis, fresh cigar tobacco and cedar plank greet the nose and the wine has a good, deep colour for the vintage; there is a smooth, slightly acidic red fruit entry with a mild root and stem element on a surprising warm finish. Good effort in a trying year with some further cellaring potential (3-4 years). 89 points.

Charles Stross is a great sci-fi writer. I really enjoyed his Singularity Sky. He is also a short story writer of note as shown by A Colder War. Infinity Plus has the whole story online and it just short enough to read online. The story is a sequel (of sorts) to H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountain of Madness, but it felt more like Declare to me. Like Declare, A Colder War recasts 20th century history as a fight to keep dark forces from getting out. This is a really good story and I recommend taking the time for it.
Non-super-nerds stop reading now.
OK, super nerds, apparently Charles Stross is not only a scifi writer but the creator of the D&D githyanki! Double nerd bonus, the original concept was created by George R R Martin!

Next time you are at the Leafe, I suggest that you and Neill approach some young ladies and ask them to settle a bet they have.
Just who would win in a head to head, a single githyanki or a mind flayer? - 8:28 PM

Next time I'm at the Leafe, I plan to get drunk as a goat and start snappin pictures.

Never miss another 'We The Kings' show
We The Kings
After 3 million track sales to date, the Florida quartet made quite an impression when they hit the UK last summer as guests to Simple Plan. The band are now set to commence 2013 with a fresh run of activity on these shores.
Not only have they announced details of their largest headline tour to date, the 'UK Is Forever' tour, but they will also release the 'Friday Is Forever' EP on January 21st.
The yearning, summery power-pop of 'Friday Is Forever' opens the five-track EP which is completed by the live favourite 'Check Yes Juliet' as well as three acoustic songs which are previously unreleased in the UK in the shape of 'Party, Fun, Love & Radio', 'Say You Like Me' and 'Secret To New York'.

Is it just me, or is this whole saga beginning to read more and more like a publicity stunt to attract tourists?
I read that more people are going to see the "Potato jesus" version of the painting more than ever saw the original.

Kaigan: Spirit Chronicles -- Episode 1 "Memories of a Promise"
FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/
Here it is folks -- Episode 1! After dealing with conflicting schedules and recasting, I can officially say that Kaigan is up and running as a series. I would like to thank all my cast and supporters for motivating me to this point. So without further ado, enjoy the video.
Note: Starting from episode 2 onward, I will have a production crew aiding in keeping Kaigan successful instead of making this a one man show.

Tell me that kid in the white didn't sound like trunks from dbz. XD. good job.
i have seen many animes like this and its about in the middle of that list( by the animes i mean love story with action). The problems i have with this is the style is pretty sketchy, the muffle on the voices, and plot development. I know its just the first episode but i think there needs to be more to the animation itself. Otherwise, nice job.
Well that ended rather suddenly. I am looking forward to the next episode though, the fact that this has both OP and EP is pretty neat, and it mimicks the anime-atmosphere nicely as well, though it's always odd looking at something like this and not hearing Japanese voices, heh, bad habit. Contentwise this reminds a bit of Love Hina, it's got the same initial backstory, but I guess things will spin off in a completely different direction from now on. Looking forward to it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Click on any of the questions below to see the answer!
What is a mentor?
A mentor is an adult who volunteers to spend time with a young person as a friend. A mentor is also a role model, a responsible and reliable adult who cares about his or her mentee. A mentor is not a teacher, a counselor, a substitute parent, or a social worker. Being a mentor requires no special skills or talents; just the desire to make a difference in a young person's life.
To learn more about a mentor's role, please visit our Becoming a Mentor page.
Mentoring through an adult-to-youth mentoring program in Vermont is as simple as: at least one hour, once a week, for one year (or one school year). Mentoring is defined as a sustained relationship and friendship between a young person (5-22) and an adult in which the adult provides the young person with support and guidance. For some matches that means getting together once a week at school to read together. For other pairs it could mean meeting once a week to do something fun in the community, like hiking, cooking, or playing sports.
To learn more about the different types of mentoring opportunities that are available in Vermont, please visit our Types of Mentoring Programs page. We also encourage you to watch Sam and Ricky's story from our Becoming a Mentor page.
What are the benefits of mentoring for youth?
Research consistently supports the position that all young people need and benefit from responsible, caring adults in their lives. Although positive, sustained relationships with parents represent a critical resource for youth, other adults can provide additional support to aid a young person's development. Having a mentor can enhance a youth's learning skills and help build self-esteem and self-control. Youth with mentors are less likely to engage in risky behavior with drugs and alcohol, and are more likely to become productive members of society. Mentoring is a proven strategy for positive youth development. For more information, we encourage you to visit our Benefits of Mentoring page.
What are the benefits of mentoring for mentors?
Mentors often say that they get more out of their mentoring experience than their mentees do. They perceive the experience of being identified as a mentor and the process of mentoring in highly positive terms. Mentoring allows them to make sense of their own past experiences and current challenges, gain insight into the day-to-day lives of youth, and develop positive, more reciprocal relationships with youth in their community.
Mobius was created in 2003 as an umbrella organization designed to support, increase, and enhance the services of the many different youth mentoring programs throughout Chittenden County. Mobius' service area expanded statewide in 2013, when it became Vermont's Mentoring Partnership. For more information about Mobius' history, please visit the History of Mobius page.
What services does Mobius provide?
Mobius, Vermont's Mentoring Partnership, works to support adult-to-youth mentoring programs throughout the state. We provide various services to mentoring programs, including funding for new and existing mentoring programs, ongoing technical support, raising public awareness of mentoring, and assistance in connecting volunteers with mentoring opportunities in their area.
For more information about the services Mobius provides, please visit the Statewide Mentoring Goals page.
How can I get a youth involved with a mentoring program?
Most mentoring programs in Vermont will accept youths as mentees if they are referred by a teacher or counselor. In some cases, for example if a program is run by a youth center, the kid may need to already be a part of a program at that organization. We encourage you to use our statewide directory of mentoring programs to access program and contact information for mentoring opportunities in your area. If you are unable to find a program for the youth, you may reach out to us directly to see if we can help: firstname.lastname@example.com.
How do I start a mentoring program?
Mobius provides start-up funding for youth mentoring programs through funds from the State of Vermont, the Permanent Fund for Vermont's Children, and the A.D. Henderson Foundation. You can search our Vermont Mentoring Grants page for information about current funding opportunities that might be applicable to your organization or school. We offer consultation services prior to starting a program, and we also provide ongoing technical support and resources.
How can I make a donation to support mentoring?
Mobius is grateful for the generous donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations that help us serve the mentoring need in Vermont. With your help, we can reach our goal of expanding the reach of mentoring to every corner of the state. For more information about how you can support Mobius, and the Vermont mentoring movement, please visit our Make a Donation page.
How is Mobius connected to the national mentoring community?
Mobius is the state affiliate of MENTOR, the National Mentoring Partnership. Through this national affiliation, Mobius is able to offer mentoring programs in Vermont valuable resources such as the Elements of Effective Practice quality standards, free professional development webinars, access to national mentoring conferences, and public awareness materials and opportunities during National Mentoring Month.
For more information about Mobius' affiliation with MENTOR, please visit the Affiliation with MENTOR page.
What resources does Mobius offer to mentors?
Mobius works with various partners in the community to find and share opportunities for mentors and mentees, most notably through the Mentor Discount Card program. Mobius' Mentor Discount Card currently allows mentors and mentees throughout the state to receive discounts at more than 50 local businesses, including movie theatres, restaurants, and sporting venues.
Mobius also helps mentors connect with activities and events throughout the state through our online mailing list and social media channels.

Tribology In Machine Design PDF
"Tribology in Machine Design is strongly recommended for machine designers, and engineers and scientists interested in tribology. It should be in the engineering library of companies producing mechanical equipment."
Applied Mechanics Review
Tribology in Machine Design explains the role of tribology in the design of machine elements. It shows how algorithms developed from the basic principles of tribology can be used in a range of practical applications within mechanical devices and systems.
The computer offers today's designer the possibility of greater stringency of design analysis. Dr Stolarski explains the procedures and techniques that allow this to be exploited to the full. This is a particularly practical and comprehensive reference source book for the practising design engineer and researcher. It will also find an essential place in libraries catering for engineering students on degree courses in universities and polytechnics. The material is grouped according to applications for ease of use and reference.

PORTLAND, Maine — For Rose Masse, the mother of a 6-year-old son, the road to being homeless began last spring, when her landlord was experiencing personal and financial problems.
"This house was a disorderly house for a long time, but it really went downhill when he couldn't afford to take care of the property," she said of her former apartment in a two-family Washburn Avenue house, where she had lived since 2004.
"Then sewage got in the basement, code enforcement got wind of it, and the house was shut down," Masse said. "I was given four days to move out."
Masse, 48, had few options. Unemployed and with a severe learning disability, she receives vouchers from a federal housing program to pay rent. But she already had tried unsuccessfully to find a new apartment for more than three years, she said.
"I must have made 1,000 calls to landlords in that time," she said. "With the voucher, I still can't compete for apartments."
As she packed her belongings, Masse was told she could find emergency housing at the city's Family Shelter on Chestnut Street. But when she contacted the shelter, she was repeatedly told that it was filled to capacity.
She and her son ended up staying temporarily with friends and family members. Today, they live in a screen house in a Gorham backyard.
"We're camping out; we're really nomads," she said.
Masse's experience is a sign of the times.
There's no data to quantify the number of individuals who have become homeless because of landlords who can't afford to maintain their buildings, according to Douglas Gardner, director of the city's Health and Human Services Department. But as the economic downturn continues, he said, it's not surprising that homelessness may be caused by such a ripple effect.
"Economics is still the top driver of homelessness in Portland," Gardner said, noting that roughly a third of clients at city shelters are experiencing homelessness for the first time.
Portland's homeless population continues to balloon — the average number of people who turned to shelters each night jumped by more than 50 between May and June, reaching an all-time high of 411. That's a 16 percent increase over the average number for the previous June.
Meanwhile, the city struggles to keep up with the pace. For example, when the Chestnut Street shelter is full, family members in need are housed in hotel rooms, Gardner said. In June, an average of five individuals per night were housed this way.
"We don't turn anyone away," he said.
Masse said she was not offered that alternative when she was told the Chestnut Street shelter was full, despite the shelter policy.
Gardner said her case might be an "anomaly."
"We always ask if folks have other options or resources that could keep them from entering the Family Shelter," Gardner said. "I don't know the specifics of this particular case, but … it sounds like those other options may have included family or friends."
While the specifics may be unclear, Masse's experience highlights the need for careful, case-by-case assessment of each individual's needs — an approach the city is taking in its response to homelessness, Gardner said.
"There's not one reason for homelessness," he said, "and we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach."

Some people look at the battery as half empty, whereas some people look at it half full. It's an outlook thing, you know? It's like you look down at your phone and you see the little battery thing is a bit down, or maybe way down, like, maybe it's red, and how you react to that is basically the kind of person you are.
It's like, are you going to freak out? Because that shows that you'd probably be bad in an emergency, and then maybe you shouldn't sit in that row on the airplane or whatever. Whereas if you look down and you're calm - or better yet you're happy, like, "oh, my phone is dying. That means I get to spend some time away from it, which means I can work on my knitting or read a book or do something old-fashioned!" - that's a sign that you're great at crisis-management. You know what I mean?

Modified power supply, blown fuses
I have a Jerome linear PSU that I modified for use on my Squeezebox Touch. I don't have a schematic, but I can explain exactly what I did
First I took the 10,000uF power electrolytic caps and replaced them with the same value and voltage. I bypassed these with .01uF polypropylene film caps (400V). I replaced the on board 10uF and 220uF caps with higher quality electrolytics as well. The Axial diodes were replaced with MUR1520 hexFRED caps. Anode/cathode was kept relative. I did not put a heatsink on these. I plugged in the PSU (no load) and got no output voltage, and sure enough the fuses on the secondary on the xfmr were blown. Is there anything blatently wrong with what I did? This surplussed PSU was never powered up, so it could be possible the fuses could've been blown beforehand? Thanks for any possible insight

Not to be the sarcastic "master of the obvious," but you modded a unit that you didn't know worked in the first place. There's really nothing that can be done until you replace the fuses and give 'er another go. A good time to use the series light bulb on the mains supply, too, BTW.
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from enquiry. - Thomas Paine |

Tigons - Page 1:
Description | 2:
The Breeding Of Tigons
What are tigons?:Tigons are the opposite of ligers and have a tiger father and lioness mother. They may also be referred to as tiglons or tions. The breeding of ligers (lion father/tigress mother) has always been easily accomplished, both by accident and design. Tigons, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to breed and very rare. Until recently, there were no recorded living tigons; the very few that do exist are probably in private ownership. Please report any tigons to: email@example.com. Thank you. Known living tigons:There is one notable exception to the above private ownership comment. Over Christmas 2000 a pair of tigon twins joined the collection at Australia's National Zoo. The male (Aster) and female (Tangier) were bred accidentally at a circus, the offspring of a Bengal tiger and a lioness. After being hand-raised they eventually moved to a private facility where they were housed for another five years. The quality of their housing was questioned and after communication with the state government an alternative home was eventually sought. There were also lions and tigers requiring new homes and the National Zoo had already agreed to take them. When it came to light that there were few options for the tigon pair the zoo extended their offer and agreed to house the tigons on humanitarian grounds. They also started work on building a third new open moated cat exhibit to provide the best possible facilities. The pair are nearly 16-years-old and in good health. They consume around 4 kgs of meat per day, with one or two starve days a week. Both cats have benefited from a loss in excess weight since being transferred to the zoo. They are fed a mixture of beef, horse, kangaroo, chicken, goat and rabbit. Fertility:Infertility in hybrid cats is often claimed, but this is not always correct. It seems accurate to say the males are infertile; post mortems have confirmed this, but females may go on to produce offspring This page displays a photograph of a ti-liger (above) and a ti-tigon (below). |
The first was the offspring of a tiger and a ligress, (more photos can be found under the liger article) while the second came about after a mating between a male tiger and a female tigon. They provide certain proof of the fact that hybrid females may be fertile. On the other hand, tigons Aster and Tangier have been housed together for their entire life (as far as is known). Tangier comes into season regularly and Aster mates with her but despite their long term association the pair have never reproduced. There are no plans to attempt to breed tigons or ligers at this facility so the fertility issue is unlikely ever to be explored, however it is probable it is Aster who is infertile. The chart shown below lists the common names given to hybrid tigers and lions. Claims have been made of at least one tig-liger (tigon father/liger mother), but this site has yet to get confirmation of this and remains highly skeptical due to the extreme rarity of tigons, and also the fact that fertility in male hybrid cats is unconfirmed. It seems more likely that the combination would arise from mating a tiger with a ligress, producing a ti-liger. Confusion readily arises regarding the breeding of hybrid cats and this explanation would provide a possible answer.
Appearance:Like all hybrid cats the offspring of a tiger and lioness share the characteristics of both their parents. They:
The life span of many hybrid big cats is short and they seem prone to cancers and other illnesses. Confusion between the social lion personality and the solitary tiger personality is noted by handlers. Ti-ligers and ti-tigons are 75% tiger so tend to so tend to have more of the characteristics and appearance of the tiger. Size:Ligers are prone to gigantism; they are the largest cats in the world and can be double the size of an average adult male Amur (Siberian) tiger. It is commonly thought tigons are prone towards dwarfism and are much smaller than either of their parents. This does not always apply and they often have the body size of a lioness or Bengal tiger. Aster weighs in at 160 kg; this is the very upper end of the weight range for an adult female Bengal tiger, but small for a male. Tangier is 145 kg, the mid-range for an adult female Bengal. These tigons certainly do not exhibit any form of miniaturisation. It is usually accurate to say tigons don't exceed the size of their parents. They also seem not to display the same tendency towards 'hybrid vigour' as regards faster growth. |

Author Biography | Interview | Books by this Author | Readalikes
Born in the eastern town of Rourkela, Badami spent her childhood drifting around India as
her father, a mechanical engineer and train designer, was transferred
frequently. Her family moved at least eight times before she was twenty. Since
her parents both spoke different Indian dialects, English was the bridging
language for the family. (Badami's second language is Hindi.) The convent nuns
who took care of her schooling were not always a receptive audience for Badami's
budding literary talents. "Dear child," one of her teachers commented
in response to a writing assignment, "what big lies you tell. Please ask
your mother to see me." At school the nuns taught Greek and Roman myths,
and even Celtic tales. "The only mythology I don't remember learning in
school was Hindu mythology," Anita recalls. At home, however, Badami was
immersed in the cultures and myths of her family and the multilingual railway
workers. This mélange of myths informed Badami's formidable storytelling
ability and shaped the exploration of heroism that runs throughout her latest
In 1991 Anita Rau Badami left Bangalore in southern India to join her husband in
Calgary, where he went to pursue his Masters in Environmental Science and then
to Vancouver for a PhD in Planning. Arriving with their four-year-old son and
five hundred dollars, the family was soon ensconced in a depressing basement
apartment. To earn money, the former journalist, ad copywriter and children's
writer ended up selling china in a mall. Of this time, Badami says, "I
learned an awful lot about figurines and place settings, but I also made the
most wonderful friends."
Badami began taking creative writing courses and wound up with Tamarind Mem, her
master's thesis project at the University of Calgary. She sent the manuscript to
Penguin Canada and quickly found herself a bestselling author with a reputation
as a talented new Canadian writer. Her stories of home and away, of here and
there, made her a part of the tradition Badami refers to as the
post-postcolonial-immigrant school that began with Salman Rushdie's Midnight's
Children. "I don't think I could have written a novel if I had not left
India," Badami said in an interview with The Globe and Mail. "I
find that the distance gives me perspective and passion. I was twenty-nine years
in India and ten years here, so I have a foot in India and a couple of toes
here. I am both doomed and blessed, to be suspended between two worlds, always
looking back, but with two gorgeous places to inhabit, in my imagination or my
Just after the publication of The Hero's Walk, Anita Rau Badami won the
prestigious Marian Engel Award, given to a Canadian woman author in mid-career
for outstanding prose writing. (Previous recipients include Carol Shields, Jane
Urquhart, Bonnie Burnard and Barbara Gowdy.) Most recently, The Hero's Walk
was optioned for film by a Canadian producer of See Spot Run Films in Los

A House on Wheels : Anita Rau Badami talks about her novel Tamarind Woman
When I was eight or nine, my parents bought me a green canvas travel bag for
the frequent trips that we made as a railway family. I was allowed to paint my
name and a flower on the bag and use it for my toys, a change of clothes, paper,
and color pencils. It accompanied me on our travels for many years--the contents
changing as I grew older. That bag was finally discarded along with my father's
black Gladstone bag, eighteen steel trunks, five bedding rolls, a wooden crate
that had carried our refrigerator, and several bags of assorted packing
material. After thirty years as an officer in the Indian Railways, my father had
died, and we were leaving that spacious world of bungalows and clubs, swimming
pools and tennis courts to move into a small apartment. "There would be no
more transfers or tours, no more packing and unpacking," my mother told us
with a small sigh. She had enjoyed the life of a railway memsahib, but hated the
constant movement it involved.
While my mother was glad to be free of an existence bound by train schedules
and the need to pull up roots and travel every three years, I regretted the loss
of that existence. I ...
