Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps those at high risk, including teen and young adult Caucasian and Asian women, maintain good bone health and reduce their high risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. Adequate calcium is important, but daily intakes of above about 2000mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit. Vitamin D is essential for use of calcium and necessary for healthy bones, teeth and cartilage.

The location is excellent. The hotel is old but well kept. The staff is very helpful, specially Robin. The parking is at an open lot beside the hotel. It is near the hotel but it is open to the public. I don't know about security. Nothing happened with our car, I just don't feel comfortable with these kind of open parking lots, that are very common in Canada.
Very pleasant staff, nice welcome at reception. Room very spacious and comfortable. Decor style is very traditional and cosy. Public car park immediately adjacent to the hotel which the hotel provides a free parking voucher for.
Nothing Everything,had I physically seeing the hotel I would not have book this hotel and I would not recommend it to my friends
Great location, close to restaurants and adult night time entertainment,
easy to find this hotel,good services,good breakfest. too noise at night,too much pub around
Tendency to overcook fish in the restaurant
I liked the style - old pictures of the town on the walls, the free breakfast, the helpful receptionists. Not so much that I didn't like it, but was quite surprised when they didn't clean the room after the 1st night, for that price.
The rooms are fabulously redone to reflect the period the hotel came from. Excellently refurnished and nicely appointed. Although compact, the bathroom is cute and functional while the bed and pillows were exceptional and the solid wood floors harken back to a time of steamer trunks and hat boxes. Loved the stay here. Highly functional room with modern features that remembers where the hotel came from.
Nice room, unique hotel, included breakfast, nice staff. Got a parking ticket while registering to receive the hotel parking pass! Loud at night as our room was next to the street.
The history of the hotel, location and price were great. The decor of the hotel was also very appeasing. We found our room very comfortable and quiet with a nice view of the hills in Kamloops.
Nice to stay in a hotel that is not the same as all the others. The decor had character and the hotel had an old fashioned charm. The staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast. The location was central and close to shops and restaurants. Room rather small. Some noise from road especially cruising motor bikes and sooped up pick-ups.
Cleanliness of all Hotel. The breakfast was included, but it wasn´t as they describe, because on Sunday they start to serve after 8:30 a.m. and in the brochure inside the room was at 7:30 a.m., so I waked up early to leave and I didn't have my breakfast there. Also, the parking is in public area...
Kayak went through a US company and we were charged US and had exchange........NOT impressed to find out later on our Visa...will not use Kayak again
nice clean comfortable room
- staff - location - river view - room size - barely functioning AC (stayed in Kamloops during 30*C heatwave) -got very little sleep because the room was so hot. - tried calling front desk for a fan at midnight, no answer. - rooms cleanliness questionable. I killed a spider within 5 mins of stay and curtains were disgusting. I wouldn't dare hold a black light to them. -breakfast was disappointing and barely palatable
Nice view.
Very comfortable bed. Lovely view. Wish we'd had a room with a patio . Noisy neighbors! I wish people would be considerate of others trying to enjoy their owm vacation.
The jacuzzi tub Check in time
Good location and clean quiet rooms.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The hot tub, water slide, and swimming pool The location
The hotel was in the right location for what we had planned. Rooms were quite large and roomy. Really nice staff and contintal breakfast staff very nice. Pool very small and scummy liner. hot tub small nice hot and clean.
We liked the pool and waterslide the best! No, it was all great!
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, I enjoy staying here
I was so impressed with everything I don't know what would be the best. Nothing I can remember.
The breakfast was poor even for a continental breakfast.
the staff were friendly the room was excellent and the rate was amazing
The rooms very very spacious and clean. I liked the small area with fridge and extra sink. hotel was close to major thru roadways, easy acess to shopping, restaurants The lighting in the rooms over the beds were too high, glaring when relaxing and watching tv
Staff was very nice. Check in was easy and fast. Very clean. Had everything you would expect. Bed was very comfortable. Really liked the fully stocked bathroom. Booked a pool side room, paid extra for it and did not get one. Fridge and heater in room were noisey. With the amount of hotels in the area with better prices. Thia hotel should step up their game
Location and new build. Nothing
Fantastic location, right across the street from Riverside Park and two blocks from the restaurants and bars on Victoria Street. The south side of the hotel (main entrance) is adjacent to the train tracks, so take this into consideration when booking. However, we were not bothered in the slightest by the noise and will happily book this hotel again! :O)
The decor and design of the hotel as well as the friendly staff. They were very professional and accommodating.
Great location. My only complaint wold be the front desk never warned me about the trains going by at all hours. The 3:45AM train was a wake up call!
This motel is the real deal. Great value. Just came back from a long vacation and this was the nicest place we stayed at. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was exceptionally clean.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location and cleanliness were great.
I love this hotel! It's our 'go-to' spot when traveling across Canada. The staff are always accommodating and the rooms are always CLEAN. I always have peace of mind knowing the sheets I'm sleeping in have actually been washed. Definitely recommend :)
Excellent room layout and quality.
Close to River park, where the rib fest and Dragonboat festival was held Extremely close to railroad, trains running at night were disrupting.
very good has to pay parking
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
staff are friendly, my kid like the game room. there is a big machine outside the window which is very noisy
The pool temperature was a little cool.
None. This hotel is 2 star at best. Old building without an upgrade in decade. Railroad 200 yards away made it worse. Train went by 2 times when sleeping. Very disappointed expecting a 3 star hotel. $8 charge for parking at this middle of nowhere location?
Large rooms near center of town. Great brew pub right next to hotel-food was really nice & the beers were great as well. no
Location The smell in the corridors
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Great location if you have things to do things down town Small noise from trains
Absolutely everything. Breakfast was delightful and coffee absolutely perfect. Location was perfect and will definately book there again. Thank you. None.
Nice big room. Clean and good bedding Could hear the next room through the adjoining door. Thankfully the neighbors were not moisy
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The location is convenient to access to nearby shopping malls. The room is clean and with good room size. Preferably, the hot tub hours are operated till to 10:00 p.m. instead of 9:00 p.m. The operation hour from the morning scheduled to start from 7:00 a.m. but our visit to the facility at 7:15 a.m., it did not operate. So, staff should maintain operation of hotel facilities according to the scheduled hours.
The air conditioner in the room sounds like a B-52 bomber.
Front desk clerk was terrific. Friendly and efficient Beds very comfortable We were overtop of the air exchange system and so there was a constant while noise. Still, better than intermittent
The location of the hotel in the downtown area and the casino downstairs made it convenient for shopping and entertainment. There wasn't a bathtub in the suite. Front desk staff were not as friendly as I have experienced in the past at other hotels. When we were checking out the following morning, the woman had to double check our rate because she had never seen a rate that low. It made us uncomfortable.
The local was perfect...we walked to our doctor appointment, dinner, and shopping. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very quiet and had a lovely view of the hills across the river. The only thing both my husband and I dislikes, was the pillows were so big our necks were sore in the morning. As I said, the big pillows.
The decor of the room and hotel were excellent along with the comfortable bed! There was no microwave in the room.
I liked the location. The bed was comfortable and the shower accessories (bed and bath) were great. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and ready to please. . I didn't like having to pre-authorize money on my credit card and the fact that there was no ice machine on my floor.
The location - it was right down town. Found the hotel itself aboslutely fine in terms of facilities and design - but there was nothing "out of the ordinary". The pub served til late (1100 pm I think) which was great on arrival. Found the idea of a casino a little off putting on arrival but actually did not notice it or any noise from it thereafter. Apparently they have "Rocky Mountaineer" visitors to stay 6 nights out of 7 so the hotel gets pretty full. It was absolutely fine but nothing really different or special springs to mind. The staff were all very friendly but as we found all the staff at all the hotels we stayed at friendly and helpful even this was not "of special note". All absolutely fine - would stay here again for its convenience. Everything about the hotel was fine - no complaints at all.
very finely appointed rooms, just reno'd. great bedding, and towels.
it was easy to find and in a great location for our visit to kamloops. front staff was very pleasant. i was impressed with the overall 'new' look to an old hotel. everything was great.
Room was well appointed and beds were comfy The building has centralized heating that cannot be controlled at the individual room -- our room was very hot, probably in the 90F range. When we called for assistance we were essentially told to open the window. When we raised the concern again at the front desk, we were told "at least it's better than being cold". First world problem, yes, but we won't be going back.
Staff was unreal!! Had my 18month old daughter and they were so sweet to her and I. Room was comfy and they changed us no problem when we discovered there was no tub in the King solo room. Thanks!!
It was quiet and very relaxing. The room was lovely and the staff went out of their way to be helpful. I needed a fridge for medicine, and a baby crib for the baby grandson, and they were both in our room when we arrived.
Nice, quiet room and very friendly, helpful staff. It's a 15min drive outside of Kamloops. You can have breakfast in the lounge or in your room (extra fee). The gym is pretty small, the crosstrainer does not run properly. Breakfast is nice but you don't really have a choice what to eat.
Located on some lovely acreage and situated between the river on one side an mountains on the other, the South Thompson Inn is a lovely place to stay. My night was perfectly quiet and I suspect this place is for those guests who prefer a serene environment It is quite far from the city centre, which I didn't take into account when booking the place. Because I had to be in downtown Kamloops for businessI would probably book somewhere in the city centre next time just to save the time spent driving back and forth.
Beautiful grounds and llamas! No city noises- you are out in the country here A little further out than we thought
I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location very large, quiet, with horses and llamas on the property as well. Insiders tip - go to the golf course restaurant and have the baby back ribs, they are delicious.
We were pleasantly surprised by the included breakfast.
This hotel is certainly located in the right place for travellers. It is close to the highway but has no road noise, close to restaurants of all types and shopping is just across the street!
Very affordable price. Close to shopping and almost everything. Need some efforts to find.
It was convenience to the shopping area and easy to find. We stayed at the 3rd floor and facing the city, pretty and nice. no
The staff seemed to be really pleased to see you and happy to help in any way possible Nothing at all
The staff was helpful on how to get to shopping centers, restaurants Because if was so close to a major Highway I found it quite noisy
Clean, comfortable, not crowded, close to highway, close to restaurant.
staff was friendly and efficient. room was clean and tidy, easy access to freeway and shopping a little noisy, highway traffic
nothing specially good or bad that I can think of.
I really appreciated that the staff satisfied my requested a particular room upon my arrival. Thats great service. te weather:)
location 7 very helpful reception staff
We stay at the Accent Inn Kamploops for 3 reasons: it allows pets (we have a dog); it is a good stop-over on our way to Victoria; and we think the prices are reasonable. Pleased to see an active Security guard during our stay.
very helpful staff and one of the tidiest and cleanest hotels Ive stayed in...nice new bathroom!felt safe! excellent stopover between Whistler/Vancouver and Calgary/banff
We stayed one night to travel further
Good value. Clean. Comfortable beds. Friendly people. Fridge and microwave in room. Loud window-unit air conditioner. Free continental breakfast was just toast and muffin halves.
The accomodation was adequate for the price. Clean and functional. Our room over looked the highway and also the railway line so was very noisy - take your earplugs.
Generally very good, slightly difficult to find though. Clean, comfortable but some road noise from the highway just outside which undermined the occasion slightly. Would recommend this hotel.
The layout of the room was good, bed was comfortable, laundry facilities were good.
Price and cleanliness Road construction around the hotel.
The hotel is very new. The room and public space are very clean. The pool is excellent, right size and water temperature. The breakfast is awesome too. The staff in the reception was not very friendly.
Clean, new updated room, large selection of choices for continental breakfast. There was loud noise from another guest in hallway early in morning, but I think it's typical for sounds to easily travel from halls into hotel rooms.
The continental breakfast was great. It had all the necessities, plus more. We were quite impressed. The room was nice, very clean and spacious. The loud AC. It kept waking us up throughout the night. Also, the location of the room. We were directly above the main entrance and since we had to keep the window open due to the AC issues, it was quite noisy in the morning.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Clean and location Nothing
Newly renovated. Very comfortable. No bathroom fan
It is close to where we needed to be. No.
Clean.newer furNishings.good variety breakfast.not staring at pool in lobby.staff Were pleasant.
Hotel is one of the best in the city. I paid more even though it is only 2.5 stars. Rooms are nice, place is clean, location is great in terms of driving places. Safe, secure and never had trouble with noise. Staff couldn't figure out the computer. They have a 24/7 'shop' that has really nothing in it. Pool is cold. Maid kept coming in at 9 am on day 1 of a 2 day booking with the do not disturb sign on. Walked in 3 times in under 10 min.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Very clean, professional staff and a very good breakfast.
Huge room, comfy bed, microwave and fridge. Nice staff. Free breakfast. Location not the best but still only 5-10 min drive to downtown.
very good price, friendly staff and nice pool/hut tub road and train noise
Clean Rooms, Friendly and helpful staff. The continental breakfast was lacking.
Decent price, clean Could hear highway noise, semi's honking their horn going up steep highway at night. Also hotel could use remodel. Room decor looks dated.
Good sleep We had repeated problems with our room keys not working.
too close to highway, too noisy for sleeping, I do care this, it's a valuable hotel to whom doesn't care this
The pool, tub & fitness centre came in handy The affiliated restarant "Vittorio's" was not good standard
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great breakfast. Room was very nicely decorated and clean. Large bathroom. Free ice. Quiet even though we were facing the highway.
The room was very spacious, clean, nice view, and very comfortable.

Need Help with Insulating HVAC ducts
To qualify for some energy efficiency rebates, we needed to insulate 25' of the HVAC supply ducts in our basement. I found this online that recommended using rigid Polyisocyanurate foam board to insulate the ducts.
We used duct mastic to seal the gaps in the existing duct work. Then we cut sheets of Super Tuff-R to the ducts to create a box (we used the board all the way around the duct as opposed to fiberglass batts on top). We installed the Super Tuff-R with the blue side out and the silver side facing the ducts attaching the pieces to the duct and each other with a UL 181 foil-backed. So far, so good. But a day after we finished the work, the tape is peeling away from the blue facing of the Super Tuff-R sheets. The tape sticks great when it's applied to the duct surface but it doesn't want to stay stuck to the blue Tuff-R surface. I did try burnishing the tape to get it to stay stuck but that hasn't really helped.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a tape that will stick to the blue face of the Super Tuff-R pieces? Or any suggestions on how to attach the insulation so that it stays in place?
Posted Sep 10, 2012 11:29 PM ET
According to advice on the Dow website (Dow is the manufacturer of Tuff-R), you want to use a foil tape manufactured by Venture. That's the same advice I gave in my article on the topic of tapes and gaskets.
Here are links to two products that will work for you: VentureTape 1521CW (1.4 mil thick tape) or VentureTape 1520CW (a 2 mil thick tape).
Posted Sep 11, 2012 7:42 AM ET
Thank you. I'll see if I can track down the VentureTape. I didn't see it available from our local home improvement stores but I'm checking with the manufacturer.
I had also contacted Dow about the tape issue and they stated "The application in which you have used our product is not a supported application. This product needs to be covered with a 15-minute thermal barrier to meet code.". Any suggestions on how to address this concern? I know that others have used this material to insulate ducts. This document states that Super Tuff-R can't be used in basements. If that's the case, I sure wish I had known that a few days ago.
Posted Sep 11, 2012 12:29 PM ET
My experience with Super Tuff-R is that no aluminium tape would stick to it long term. I believe that the reason is the difference in the expansion coefficients of the AL and the "blue" substrate. Venture tape as well as the Shuretape found at Lowes will stick until cold hits it. then you will see it peeling off the tuff-R. It is also an overkill to use AL tape since the blue face of the Tuff-R is not reflective.
I had great success with the Tyvek tape (Home Depot) used for house-wrap. It bonds great and the bond is not affected by temperature.
If you use regular Tuff-R (with alumnium on both sides) then the Venture tape will work fine and makes more sense to use it since it is assumed that you need reflection on both sides.

Abstract | Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) - understood as the formalised analytical activities initiated or carried out by central government administrations when designing specific policy instruments - is currently receiving high levels of political attention. It is seen as a tool to improve regulatory quality and to promote cross-cutting objectives such as sustainable development. Often conceived as an economic analysis of costs and benefits, RIA tends to be depicted as 'neutral' assessment process that informs decision makers about 'facts'. This does not explain, of course, why RIA often becomes an arena for political conflict involving both government departments and stakeholders. Based on empirical research on the design and practical application of RIA across the European Union, this paper explores the relationship between RIA, policy-making and politics. The aim is to shed light on what knowledge is produced, how it is used by different actors and what role it plays in decision-making. Based on this analysis, we explore to what extent and under what conditions RIA can serve as a tool for more evidence-based and sustainability-oriented policy-making processes. |

FT LAUDERDALE, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 12/31/12 -- Dry Fried Wing Company (OTCQB: EEDG) announced today year-end updates including retention of the San Francisco based law firm, Gordon & Rees, LLP and its initial plans for the Grand Opening of Dry Fried Wings at "The Box" in Bethesda, MD.
"Over the past several weeks, the Company has been taking steps to build a management team and a Board of Directors that will be a continuous source of pride and confidence for our shareholders," said Dr. Benjamin Chavis, co-founder and spokesperson for the Company. "On December 26, 2012, we retained the services of Gordon & Rees including franchising attorney Harold Kestenbaum who has over 35 years of franchising experience, and his partner, Alonzo Llorens, a former attorney with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, I am happy to report that Harold has accepted a seat on our Board as well."
"Also, in an effort to take full advantage of the events that will be transpiring around President Obama's second inauguration and The Box Sports Bar's close proximity to many of these events, we have decided to have the Grand Opening Celebration of Dry Fried Wings at The Box extend throughout the entire inaugural weekend (January 19-21). We expect to make several announcements regarding our specific plans relating to this historic occasion in the coming days."
"It has been just three short weeks since our Company commenced in-store operations and we believe we are proving our business concept while laying the groundwork towards establishing what we expect to be the dominant new brand in the marketplace. Our mission for the New Year is to continue adding championship caliber players to every part of our team as we strategically implement our licensing and franchising programs.

To be sure, "bestseller" is not an altogether accurate term for books which were generally given away, and a pedant might point out that the most widely distributed title of all time is the Sears Roebuck Catalogue (circa 7 billion copies). When it comes to publishing, Mammon has thrashed both God and Mao.
Still, The Bible clearly has legs as a chart-topper, so it is quite surprising that it has taken so long for a publisher to wonder whether there might not be some innovative way of presenting it to the book-buying public, Christian or otherwise. Some way, that is, which by-passes the two most obvious obstacles that stand between the average late-20th-century reader and The Bible: (a) it is dauntingly long, and (b) if you read it on the bus, people will assume you are a fundamentalist or a nutter.
Solution to (a): chop it into its constituent books, most of which can be browsed in an hour or two. Solution to (b): strip away every last lingering intimation of happy-clappy, socks-and-sandals, acoustic-guitar-and-tambourine gaucheness; make it cool (but serious), sober (but chic).
You'd think one of the big publishing houses would have done it years ago. But they didn't, which left an enticing void in the market for an enterprising small publisher. That publisher is Canongate, an independent house based on Edinburgh's Royal Mile and run, for the past four years, by the eminently enterprising Jamie Byng. Next week sees the publication of the first 12 Pocket Canons: neat, portable, suave slices from the King James version.
"It started in December 1996," Byng explains, "with a phone call from a friend who has nothing to do with publishing, and had been looking around bookshops for one of the books of the Bible, and noticed that no general trade publisher seemed ever to have done them as individual books, and he was curious. Was there any reason why not? Was it too expensive? What did I think of it as an idea? And I said: `I think it's a great idea ....' And I immediately thought, what we have to do is commission introductions, get interesting writers of all kinds to offer ways into those particular books."
Byng duly contacted a dozen appropriate writers - mostly non-believers - and brought in a hot young designer, Angus Hyland. From next week, you will be able to walk into a bookshop, hand over a quid and receive an elegant, black-jacketed 144x108mm edition of Genesis (introduced by the biologist Steven Rose), or Revelations (Will Self), or Matthew (AN Wilson), Mark (Nick Cave), Luke (Richard Holloway, Bishop of Edinburgh), John (Blake Morrison), Job (Louis de Bernieres), Ecclesiastes (Doris Lessing)....
The response has already been far greater than even Byng anticipated. The Sunday Times in Scotland has bought 100,000 copies of Job to give away; the Spanish newspaper El Pais ran two full pages about the venture, and printed a translation of Nick Cave's essay on its review front; WH Smith and other chains are gearing up for a major pre-Christmas sales campaign, and Byng has sold the rights to the series to Germany, Spain, Greece, Italy, Australia and the United States, though some of the introductions in those countries will be written by local authors.
It's by far the biggest enterprise Canongate have ever taken on, and only a few years ago it would have been unthinkable. Founded in 1973, the company had specialised mainly in books on Scottish themes. It was well-respected, and achieved a couple of coups - Alasdair Gray's Lanark, Charles Palliser's The Quincunx - but had a rough time of it financially, and went into receivership in 1994. A management buy-out led to Byng's appointment as director. This was exceptionally rapid promotion: two years earlier, a graduate in English from Edinburgh University, Byng had been an unpaid dogsbody, helping with photocopying and mail-shots.
But he'd already shown a flair for marketing; it was a publicity stunt which won him a job at Canongate in the first place. "My wife and I were running a club called Chocolate City, and we'd advertise it by buying hundreds of mini-munchies from the Cash and Carry, then sit in the pub unwrapping them and re-wrapping them with our flier. I sent one of these off to Stephanie Scott Murray, who was running Canongate at the time, and she was particularly hungry that morning, so she called me in and we hit it off."
Before long, Byng had proved that he knew about books as well as advertising. He could talk persuasively to literary editors, and began to bring titles into the company. Put in charge of the ailing concern, he turned it around. Since October 1994, when Byng took over, the company has quadrupled its turnover, which this year is forecast at around pounds 2 million. More dramatically, Byng has transformed it into a house with an international profile, courted at the Frankfurt Book Fair, recognised from New York to Tokyo. For one of the forthcoming titles on the Autumn list, Dreamer, by the noted black novelist and academic Charles Johnson, Byng out-bid the likes of Faber and Picador.
Financial incentives aside, one of the reasons Johnson opted to be published by Canongate is that he looked at the company's back list and saw that it had reprinted books by the likes of Langston Hughes, Chester Himes, Gil Scott-Heron, Iceberg Slim and other black American authors - all published under one of the two subsidiary imprints Byng introduced. Payback. Byng had originally been inspired by these writers at university - "I did my dissertation on `The Development of the Black Oral Tradition and the Hip Hop Lyric'."
Byng's second innovation came in 1996, when he recruited Kevin Williamson, the co-editor of the underground magazine Rebel Inc (which had published early work by Irvine Welsh) to set up a Rebel Inc. imprint, to encourage new fiction and reprint "counter-cultural classics" - Richard Brautigan, Nelson Algren, Alexander Trocchi, Knut Hamsun et al. Byng's other great publishing coup of 1998 - a limited edition of Snowblind, Robert Sabbag's Rebel Inc classic about the cocaine trade, designed by Damien Hirst.
Copies aren't ready yet, but Byng gleefully shows me some of the component parts: a cover made of reinforced glass mirror; stainless steel mock-American Express cards, which will be fixed to a ribbon and used as a bookmark; the rolled hundred dollar bills that will be inserted into a die-cut hole in each text. They haven't even advertised it yet, but the orders are rolling in. If you fancy one, it will set you back the price of 1,000 Pocket Canons.
Projects like the Hirst Snowblind, Byng says, are the reason he loves Canongate and can never imagine leaving it for one of the big publishing houses, no matter the inducements. "I think editors at bigger publishing houses would have a really hard time making something like that happen, they just couldn't push it through because it's too off-the-wall and potentially too controversial, but that's not a problem for us. It's a real privilege to have that much freedom."
Byng's now busy commissioning the second set of Pocket Canons, due out for Easter 1999: "introducers" include Ruth Rendell on Romans, Alasdair Gray on Jonah, Marina Warner on Tobit ... and possibly A.N. Other rock star ("please don't publish his name") on Psalms. The series has called down the ire of one fundamentalist, who has tried, unsuccessfully, to have Canongate prosecuted for blasphemy, but Byng suspects that, unlike some of the Rebel Inc projects, there will be little condemnation or commination. "I imagine most Christians will welcome the series."
To which sentiments, amen.

The common way to handle this is to inform user that the task is going to last a bit more. To achieve this, the original request starts a background job which executes the heavy task. The original request then sends the user to a wait page, which explains that he/she has to wait for the execution. The wait page reloads itself all 1-2 seconds checking whether the background job has finished. If this happens, the wait page sends the user to the result page, where he can examine the result of the background task. There are a lot of classes like Executor, Future etc. which can help you in synchronization of background jobs.

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Lates japonicus. |
The Japanese lates (Lates japonicus), also known as the akame (from the Japanese 赤目, アカメ, literally "red eye") or Japanese barramundi, is a rare and shy fish endemic to Japan. It has a comparatively long and compressed body and a large mouth. It is a metallic grey in overall colour, with a bluish tint, darker upperparts, and lighter underparts. Its fins are greyish black, and its pupils are red.[1] The Japanese lates was first scientifically described in 1984, having previously been considered the same species as the barramundi (L. calcarifer). Even when it was realised it was a separate species, publication of a formal description was delayed since the type specimen of the barramundi was alleged to originate in Japan, and because of confusion caused by the deformities of the barramundi's type specimen.[1] The Japanese lates differs from the barramundi in several features. It has a deeper body, longer third dorsal and second anal spines, fewer pectoral fin rays, more scales, and fewer gill rakers.[1] It reaches a maximum length of 130 centimetres (51 in) and a maximum weight of 33 kilograms (73 lb).[2]
The Japanese lates is a bottom dweller in the freshwater shallows, estuaries, and the ocean.[2] The Japanese lates is known in the south-western part of the Japanese main islands, where it is found in the seas around Tosa Bay, in Kōchi Prefecture, Shikoku and near Miyazaki City in Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu. It is believed to spawn there, and younger fish are found up the Ohyodo and Shimanto rivers. The barramundi is believed to replace it in the Ryukyu Islands.[1][3]
The Japanese lates has long been known to fishermen, but because of its relative rarity and shyness, it achieved "almost legendary" status.[4] For some time, scientists were uncertain which fish was the "akame" of legend, and some suspected Psammoperca waigiensis.[1] It is kept in aquaria and cultured for food,[2] but is poorly known in the wild. In February 2010, the first video of the akame living in its natural surroundings was broadcast on the BBC, in a report on the University of Tokyo's research project where akame are fitted with ultrasound tracking devices.[4][5]

Last post, I focused on useful videos showing that winter in Banff National Park is a while lot of awesomeness.
This time, I show some of the most beautiful photos of winter in Banff National Park I could find.
These photos are from 500px, a website where photography pros and enthusiasts alike showcase their works.
There are many wonderful photos not seen by enough people. I wanted to try to give the photographers more exposure, so I've showcased a selection of Banff National Park winter photos. (Click on the photos to view full size on the 500px website.)
And remember, when it comes to hotels in Banff, the winter is the off-season and the prices are much lower than the peak months of July and August.

Hi, I'm new here so don't shoot me down if I've posted this in the wrong place!
I see there are a few plug-ins here already for the majority of catchup services in the UK, but I've not yet seen an 'all-in-one' solution.
I run a website called teev (teev.co.uk) that scrapes links from all the services, however I have absolutely no idea about the Python programming language or I'd attempt at doing something myself.
If anybody was willing to do one I'd be happy to give them access to the site feeds, I guess one advantage of this is that as the site feeds will remain constant, there'd be no need to update the plug-in everytime one of the services has a re-design, I'd only have to update the scrapers at my end.
So if I can be of any use to anybody, just let me know!

if it were possible that would be great.
I know there are already scripts for BBC iplayer, 3 catchup, and I've heard that 4OD may be possible but clever work arounds for DRM may be necessary... Still we can but to see what those that could actually write the plugin think ;-) |

I think the problem with 4OD streaming is that it's streamed in a protected format that XBMC doesn't (and isn't likely to) support.

Any plug-in developers interested in working on this ? I've recently added MSN video to the site as well. I'd be able to provide the data in an XML format or plain text if that's simpler.

i feel like i have to defend us 'youngesters' ( i'm only 6 years younger than you faust)
it was the students, children of the wealthy elite, similar to and also including the breed you find in williamsburg, that really championed major movements like the anti-apartheid, anti-sweatshop, anti-globalization etc. they have expensive educations, but they also have the opportunity to do something about it. most of my 'boho/ hipster' looking friends are actually poor -- they aren't trying to be fashionable! infact, most of the young people i know are very active, civil minded people. most of them try to bike or use public transport, they have very little possessions -- and they actually know what they are yelling about when they attend political rallys. rebellion isn't a bad thing, they are rebelling against getting sucked into an empty, apathetic life.

The Pastor's Heart in Paul's Letters, 5
Piper encouraged the seminarians and prospective pastors to tell the search committees and prospective congregations "I have a dangerous message for you: I'm here to work for your joy." Why would that be dangerous? Listen to the address.
He also spoke today, but I've not heard it yet. Go here to listen to the addresses (you'll need to scroll down a little).

Hey Pastor,
It was good to "see" you at Southern on Tuesday with the other T4G guys, even if I didn't get the chance to say hello.
I just wanted to recommend that you listen to and promote Piper's Thursday message as well! It smote me even more strongly than did Tuesday's. His challenge to pastors was powerful, but gracious and patient as well.
Thanks for your continued ministry.

Sorry we didn't get to connect during our time there.
I listened to today's chapel message while unpacking from the trip to Southern. And you're right. An excellent challenge and encouragement to pastors. Well worth the listen for everyone!

I had the privelege of meeting you at the Desiring God Pastor's Conference (my brother and I are friends of Tony Merida and sat right behind you for our time at the conference.). I enjoyed that conference and the things that were said.
I have been challenged by John Piper throughout my years as a Christian and my time in the ministry. I have also been encouraged by all those like you that have sought to encourage those in the ministry to be faithful to the Word in all circumstances. Thanks you for your ministtry.

Loneliness and hard-won grace pervade "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie," Ayana Mathis' virtuoso debut novel. This portrait of three generations of an African-American family spans more than a half-century and most of the life of its indelible title character, Hattie Shepherd.
Originally scheduled to be published this month, Mathis' novel was rushed into print early after it was anointed an Oprah's Book Club 2.0 selection. It deserves the media buzz. Mathis, a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, is an elegant stylist with a sure eye for the telling detail and a deft hand for creating and controlling suspense. As her characters suffer and stray, she walks the fine line of treating them with compassion but never sentimentality.
Although the book's time frame contains the years of the great migration of blacks out of the South and the civil rights era, those sweeping forces appear only indirectly. Mathis' focus is personal, not historical.
"The Twelve Tribes of Hattie" opens in 1925 with a glimpse of an all-too-temporary Eden. Two years before, Hattie and her mother and sisters fled their Georgia home after her father was murdered by white men. When Hattie stands for the first time on the streets of Philadelphia and sees black people walking freely on the sidewalk rather than stepping off it for whites to pass, she never wants to leave.
By age 17, Hattie has married a young electrician named August Shepherd and is the doting mother of twins named Philadelphia and Jubilee. "The neighborhood rang with birdsong. The twittering lulled the twins to sleep and put Hattie in such high spirits that she giggled all the time. The grass in Hattie and August's tiny square of lawn was green as the first day of the world."
But that green day darkens with sickening speed. The twins, not yet a year old, die in their mother's arms of pneumonia — a loss Mathis describes in spare but shattering detail — leaving their mother with a hole in her heart that never heals.
At first, she struggles with depression so deep that she can barely care for the first few children that quickly come along — there will be nine that live. Then, she rebuilds herself into the family's hard-working rock, a mother whose kids call her the General (behind her back) and endlessly calculate both how to dodge her strict discipline and win her perhaps impossible affection.
Although Hattie is very much the book's central character, Mathis tells her story through her children. Each chapter bears the names of one or two of them, and in the space of a short story, plunges us into their very different lives.
Each chapter also bears a date, moving forward from 1948 to 1980. But within them, Mathis moves back and forth in time, filling in past and present. One chapter is named for daughter Ruthie, who is a baby at the time, born of Hattie's second short-lived bout of happiness: an affair with a dashing man named Lawrence Bernard. For him, Hattie does the unthinkable — she walks out on August and all their children, taking only Ruthie. Running off with Lawrence is a paradise even briefer than the first one.
As years pass, some of Hattie's children seem to have found good lives for themselves but not without searing losses of their own. Oldest son Floyd becomes a successful musician, but only by resolving to suppress his sexuality after a frightening night in a Georgia juke joint. Daughter Alice marries a doctor and uses her wealth to take care of her damaged brother Billups, or so we think until it becomes clear who is the damaged one. Son Six, who bears terrible scars from a childhood burning, tries to become a preacher, discovers he is not touched by God and becomes a preacher anyway.
Some of Hattie's other children take more tortured paths; the most harrowing, perhaps, is her daughter Bell's. As a teen, Bell was shocked to catch a glimpse of Hattie with Lawrence. When Bell meets him years later, she begins a breathtakingly cruel affair with him. We learn her story as she is near death from tuberculosis, relishing her atonement. But Hattie isn't done with her.
In the chapter named for Ella, Hattie's last child, whom she gives up to be raised by her well-off sister, we get a heartbreaking sense of what lies beneath Hattie's coldness.
And in the last chapter, named for granddaughter Sala, we see how far her strength extends.
Racial prejudice and inequality are among the forces Hattie and her family contend with, to be sure, but Mathis' novel is about human experiences we all share, about love and loss and about the tremendous distances and inextricable bonds that form our families.

When my kids were babies, I breastfed my four children -- triplets plus one more born within a year. My kids may all be teens now, but I still strongly advocate making a concerted effort to at least give nursing baby a try prior to deciding to exclusively bottlefeed.
My Triplets in an old photo: Talk about having lots of mouths to feed |
Mommy Blog Expert's babies after about 3 months of nursing |
- Don't believe breastfeeding is supposed to hurt and that sore nipples are the norm, or perhaps even a badge of courage for toughing-it-out. If the baby is latched on properly and draining the breast, it shouldn't hurt!
- Do teach your baby to "breastfeed" and not "nipple feed." To do so, start by holding your breast steady and compress it into a pointy shape with your hand.
- Don't stuff your breast into the baby's mouth. Instead, bring your baby "to you". To accomplish this, support the baby well, holding him along his spine and at the base of his head.
- Do use RAM (rapid arm movement), and bring your baby (or RAM him) onto the breast in a quick-swift motion, allowing the baby to take the breast as deeply into his throat as he can.
- Don't get discouraged. With practice, a mom will be able to nurse pain free, when she and her baby share the experience of being on the breast deeply.
The benefits of nursing properly are clear. Breastfeeding can be not only a natural, positive and healthy experience it can also be a pleasurable one both for you and your baby.

This update is the cherry on our hot fudge sundae. While we've already seen the majority of Soulcalibur alumni return to Soulcalibur IV, we've yet to gander upon these three combatants. Rock, Talim, and Yoshimitsu are all making their way back into the fourth game. While this isn't a surprise, it's always exciting to get that first look.
Rock's axe/mace swinging and stylish animal hide headgear is always welcomed, and Talim's quick-as-wind tonfas never fail as far as fun factor goes. Yoshimitsu's seashell-themed design is a little strange, but it's not a big deal. Check out the rest of the pics at Famitsu.

The almost true exploits of an intrepid spinster and her stitching...and all of the things that make up her crazy, happy, quiet little life.
Jun 9, 2009
So, in the spirit of "turn about is fair play", I give you Exhibit A: This is the Bent Creek "Big Zipper" project. You'll notice that my mother is NOT stitching this on the 18ct. cork linen that came with the kit. She's stitching on a piece of 32ct. Legacy linen from Picture This Plus. You'll also notice that she is NOT stitching this with the #5 perle cotton that came with the kit. She's stitching this with Crescent Colours from her stash.
Now before you ooohhh and aaaahhhh over her supposed "creativity and brilliance", let me just expose her right this very minute: MY MOTHER IS A FRAUD! SHE SHAMELESSLY STOLE THIS IDEA FROM MISS MARGIE FROM THE "THREE COOL PUGS...&ME" BLOG.
That's right, kids. My mother, who likes to parade herself around as a fun-loving, holly go-lightly, stitchy fundster is a BIG FAT FRAUD. She has never had a creative or brilliant bone in her body and she gets every single good idea she has ever had from other people. So there.
I'm off to water the drapes.
Have a wonderful day today! The sun has just started to peek out from behind the clouds, so methinks it's time for a little sunbathing and snoozing! Woo Hoo!

Stewey, my boy, I think the rest of my Stitchy Sisters have been a little harsh on you. I totally understand where you're coming from, but you know... you really looked very good in that picture. I know you may not see it yourself, but I think it was really flattering. Really. Have a nice snooze.
(Oh, and tell your Mom I'm totally in love with this design. I think I might steal *her* idea and start it myself)Stewy it is so nice that you are looking after your mom. My mom needs help every so often also. It is a shame they don't know how to stop and smell the roses (or whatever else is around. I am in the need of an afternoon nap in my moms sewing room while she sews. Hope yoiu have a new nap this pm also.

Green Bay, Wisconsin
January 18, 2013 Health News
(PRLEAP.COM) Family and Cosmetic dentist, David Brusky, DDS, has announced the launch of a new, patient-focused website created by dental website design leader, ProSites, Inc. Dr. Brusky's practice is utilizing the website to educate the community on the importance of oral health. The website includes a links page with informative dental resources as well as a frequently asked questions page to address common concerns on topics ranging from oral hygiene, cosmetic dental options, and other difficult dental procedures."I feel it is important to have a resource such as our website that not only can answer a patient's dental questions day or night, but also that it is specific to the procedures and type of dentistry that The Center of Dental Excellence provides." said Dr. Brusky.
The website possesses interactive attributes including information about common cosmetic dental procedures in Green Bay, dental implants, and a NobelSmile Advisor feature to help patients make better informed decisions about their dental health.

According to Dr. Brusky, "Not all dentists or dental practices are created equal.

Choosing a health care provider is one of the most personal and life-impacting decisions a person can make, and can be made with much more confidence and savvy utilizing the web."
About David Brusky, DDS:

Nico Rosberg's departure left a gaping hole in Mercedes' Formula One line-up well after most top teams chose their drivers for 2017. While the latest rumors involve poaching Williams driver Valtteri Bottas, I think there's another driver who needs the attention more. Advertisement Meet poor, attention-starved IMSA racer Jordan Taylor. Once the bearer of the most amazing mullet in modern motorsports, the frequent prankster is used to being at the forefront of everyone's eyeballs. One of the biggest stories of the upcoming 24 Hours of Daytona is about his team, but shockingly, isn't directly about him. Beloved NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon will drive alongside Taylor on the Wayne Taylor Racing team for Daytona, and all of the coverage has been mobbing Jeff, not Jordan. Jordan, a man used to making rad videos with burnouts and bathroom humor to make us laugh and satisfy his extremely thirsty nature, has been left all alone during this week's tests while reporters mob Gordon. Advertisement That being said, Taylor's a good driver, too, having won the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Corvette. I don't know if Taylor actually wants to drive in Formula One, as let's be honest, the sports car world is a whole lot more laid back and fun, but someone like him is exactly what Formula One needs. F1 is the sport where may too many people crapped their pants over Lewis Hamilton's relatively tame use of Snapchat, and the most insufferable nearly had an aneurysm when Sebastian Vettel said a few naughty words over his team radio that F1 chose to broadcast (bleeped!) on the world feed. Can you imagine the sheer mass of e-ink in #badtweet form that would blanket the internet over the addition of someone with a real, honest-to-goodness personality to F1? Holy crap, it would be glorious. Advertisement Sponsored That Guy is probably typing something up about respect, language, or how it's a shame that racers can't take the inherently fun activity known as racing seriously at the mere thought. Some of Those Guys might even rage-quit F1 for good! That would be nice. While part of F1's appeal is its prestige as the highest level of open-wheel racing, the downside of that is the oppressive stuffiness that sometimes pervades the sport. There are jabronis who whine about racers wearing headphones during the drivers' parade when they're just sitting in a car, for Pete's sake. That's the kind of self-important dumbassery that needs to be exorcised with toilet humor—the likes of which Taylor is pretty comfortable talking about. Please, Mercedes. Do what's right, and help a poor, lonely racer get back in the spotlight. Can't you tell he has nowhere else to go, except to a comfortable home with a rad dog and the too-adoring confines of sports car Twitter? Fonzie the Goldendoodle is one of JT's few sources of attention at the moment, and that's just sad. At least do Jordan a solid and drop him in a rumor somewhere to bring a few lost reporters over to his side of the garage for a chat. Mercedes' newest driver is the hot rumor of the moment, so it's perfect. I'm sure there's a thirsty F1 writer who's up for a half-baked wire story built on Williams' latest posturing that they won't let Bottas go.

help with setTimeout and app.Activate
Iam trying to finish some javascript, which will copy to clipboard, a highlighted phone number on a IE6 webpage,
then execute the Win98 phone dialer program,
then paste the number into the input field of the program
then press the Dial button
then wait 5 seconds
then terminate the running program by closing the 2 program windows that were generated.
I have so far accomplished
the copy to clipboard
the execute Dialer.exe program
and the activation of the Dial button.
There are a few problems presently.
I can only paste to the Dialer.exe program, if I first execute another program. This I believe is because I need a time delay between calling the Dialer.exe program and the paste command, to allow the program to start running. I have not been successful using setTimeout("wsh.Sendkeys ('^V')",1000); to accomplish the delay before pasting. Instead I call notebook.exe which seems to allow the dialer.exe to receive the paste command. Is this a timing or program focus problem?
I also need the javascript to wait 5 seconds before sending 2 ALT F4 commands
setTimeout("wsh.Sendkeys ('%{F4}')",5000);
setTimeout("wsh.Sendkeys ('%{F4}')",5100);
Here is the code, with the non working code remarked out.
I am not a programmer, so please help me with code.versus general javascript theory.
Thank you all so much
<script language="javascript"type="text/javascript">
{var SelectedText =window.external.menuArguments.document.selection.createRange().text;
var wsh = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
//setTimeout("wsh.Sendkeys ('^V')",1000);
wsh.Sendkeys ("^V");
wsh.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
//setTimeout("wsh.Sendkeys ('%{F4}')",5000);
//setTimeout("wsh.Sendkeys ('%{F4}')",5100);

Barely recovering from Saturday's immense earthquake, Ecuador is rocked once again by a 6 magnitude earthquake.
The earthquake on Saturday is the first Ecuador has faced in four decades. The earthquakes had killed about 587 people with thousands still missing.
The new magnitude-6 earthquake had struck around 62 miles north-northwest of Portoviejo with a depth of six miles, according to the US Geological Survey.
The local authorities have yet to estimate anything on injuries or damages in the area.
Saturday's earthquake was the worst to hit the South American country in decades and had cost the country about £2.1 billion in damages.
Foreign aid and experts have arrived in the area to assess the situation. About 14,000 security personnel had been deployed in the area to prevent looting.
Supplies have been moved to the main towns and shelters set up for more than 25,000 people in football stadiums and airports, but badly damaged roads have delayed transport.
One man, asked to stay calm by an official at a food distribution point outside the town of Pedernales, showed his frustration.
"I can be patient," he shouted back. "But not the children! They are crying."

Fighting Her Biggest Battle
2 comments
Thank you Linda and Jan. I am so touched to receive the BRAVE key. I will treasure it and use its power until I find someone to whom I can deservedly pass it on. I am eternally grateful that we have you and Jan as our support.
I had never heard of the giving keys until receiving BRAVE from Emma and Jen above and was so touched by the key and their comments. Having now had a bone marrow transplant, I am now back at home and doing well although it will be a further few months before We know if it has taken. Whilst in hospital Jan and I made good friends with another patient going through Leukemia…Avril and her partner Ken. Avril was and is going through a tougher time but is extremely brave and strong and I felt a strong urge to pay the key forward to Avril, on her birthday, whilst she was doing it tough. We are going through this battle together and We could not think of anyone more deserving and brave than Avril.

Let's start with my first round game in which I screwed up the opening against a player who was lower rated by 300 points.
The game transposed into the Symmetrical Variation of the English Opening 1.c4 Nf6 2.g3 g6 3.Bg2 Bg7 4.Nc3 O-O 5.d3 c5. I had beaten Robert Moskwa last year at a tournament in Skokie by pushing my b-pawn so I figured that the same strategy would work against this guy. 6. a3 Nc6 7. Rb1 e6 8. b4 cxb4 9. axb4 d5 10. b5 Ne7 11. c5 Nd7. I was aware that my knight on c3 was loose and I had planned on playing 12. Na4, but for some reason the idea of playing 12. d4? popped into my head and I did so without giving it much thought and was unpleasantly surprised when my opponent whipped out 12...Nxc5.
This would of course have been a good time for a long think after which I would no doubt have resigned myself to being down a pawn, but that is not what I did. Instead, I played the first move that popped into my head, 13.Nxd5?? to which my opponent replied 13...Nxd5.
Now instead of being down a mere pawn, I'm down a whole piece. After 14.dxc5 Nc3 15.Qxd8 Rxd8, I cannot move my rook because Black is threatening mate on d1 and 16.Bg5 f6 17.Rc1 fxg5 still leaves me down a piece. 14. Bxd5 Qxd5 15. Nf3 gets rid of Black's immediate threat, but I don't want to trade any pieces unless I absolutely must because I am going to need everything I've got if I'm to have a chance to save the game. After forty minutes of thought, I finally decided on 14. Qc2 and I was greatly relieved when my opponent played 14...Nd7? almost immediately. Had he played 14...Bxd4, I suspect I might have resigned in another move or two.
It makes sense to play more defensively when ahead on material, but this move allows me to complete my development in relative peace. 15.e4 N5b6 16.Ne2 Nf6 17.O-O Bd7 18.Ba3 Rc8 19.Bc5 Re8.
When your opponent puts his knight in the corner, you know that he having trouble coming up with a constructive plan. Grabbing the pawn with 27. Rxa7 b6 28. Rxc7 Qxc7 29. Bxf8 Rxf8 may be objectively best, but the exchanges might have made him feel like he was making progress. By this point, I was actually ahead on time by a couple minutes despite the forty minutes I had consumed on my fourteenth move. 27. Qb2 b6 28. Bxf8 Rxf8 29. d5 Ne8 30. Ne5 Ng7 31. Nc6.
Now it was my opponent's turn to blunder horribly. He told me after the game that he had spent so much time thinking about the consequences of 31...Bxc6 that in his mind's eye the d7 square was unoccupied. As a result, he thought he could safely exchange pawns on d5. 31...exd5?? Unfortunately he couldn't. 32. Ne7+ 1-0
What lessons can be learned from this game:
(1) No matter how much higher rated you are than your opponent, you cannot ignore development.
(2) Being unable to win a won position is very frustrating. If you can keep pieces on the board and maintain the status status quo in a bad position, your opponent's frustration will grow.

Mix it up with the Brawler
The Brawler starts with a modified tanto blade—a shape often found in tactical and rescue knives that may be required to punch through tough materials.
The tanto is an ideal shape for these piercing tasks because there is plenty of metal to support the point, making it stronger than many other blade shapes. You'll notice that the top of the Brawler's blade has a grind, too. This is called a swedge; it helps narrow the blade, adding to its piercing power. At the same time, the Brawler's straight belly offers excellent cutting capacity, is perfect for bearing down on a task, and is easy to resharpen.
All this makes the Brawler an excellent utility knife. The Brawler's handle is just as functional. The angled handle curves into the palm of the user's hand. Jimping on the back of the blade offers additional traction. With the blade deployed, the flipper doubles as a finger guard and provides additional hand protection during knife use. For fast and easy one-handed opening, the Brawler is equipped with SpeedSafe. Just pull back on the flipper and the SpeedSafe assisted opening system takes over, moving the blade out of the handle, ready for use.
Sturdy glass-filled nylon handle scales, a secure locking liner, and our four-position pocketclip complete the package.
Technical Specifications
May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening
Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.Liner Lock
Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knife's steel "liner," the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open.4-Position
The user may position the pocketclip for tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed carry.
Additional Features
- SpeedSafe assisted opening
- Liner lock
- Flipper
- 4-position pocketclip (tip-up/down, left/right)
- Steel: 8Cr13MoV, black oxide coating

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, the book is sold out completely, I am sorry for that.
I am working on a new book that shows my approach to design and animation and I will post news about it soon.
Thanks again for your support.
Best.Hello, Roberto.
Unfortunately the book is sold out and even myself, believe it or not, do not keep a copy of it. However, I am working on a new book that will be educational. I will show my approach to design and animation and it will be full of pictures and information. Stay tuned. Soon I will announce it. Also, I might have another flipbook with a different scene ready for the CTN Expo this year.

(NOT a teacher) You have asked an excellent question. Here is some information that may help you: (1) He thought the weather NASTY. Every book agrees that NASTY is an objective complement. (2) He thought the weather TO BE NASTY. Some books say that TO BE NASTY is an objective complement. (3) He thought THE WEATHER TO BE NASTY. Some books say that THE WEATHER TO BE NASTY is the direct object of "thought." Therefore, some teachers would say your sentences should be analyzed like this: (1) I saw HIM STEAL THE WALLET. "Him steal the wallet" is direct object of the verb; (2) I would like YOU TO GO. "You to go" is direct object of verb. According to some books, however, YOUR analysis is ALSO "correct." English grammarians do not agree on how to parse (analyze) a sentence.
