Homeboy Sandman - Fully Equipped
Though Homeboy Sandman's stage name is likely to ring a bell among loyal Booth readers thanks to his appearances on features by Fresh Daily and Soul Khan, a couple guest 16s hardly suffice to judge an emcee's abilities. Today, the Big Apple buzzmaker's back to prove that he is indeed Fully Equipped to carry a record on his own – and then some. The Clubhouse man the boards, serving up a chaotically catchy bass-percussion groove (complete with an unexpectedly pretty flute-accompanied outro), Homeboy busts out his most blistering flows as he burns through bar of free-associated freshness: "Lipton is brisk, rap listeners is pissed, no realer than this, gorillas in mist… y'all getting' the gist, y'all catching my drift?" While fully sussing out the emcee's train of thought may require multiple listens, the combo of stimulating rhymes and eccentrically dope boardwork should keep heads coming back for more. Not to mention, the dude can really hum. Those digging this innovative joint can hear more on HomebaseNYC's Live at the Clubhouse Vol. 1 compilation EP, scheduled to hit the 'net Feb. 9.

Eddie Mathews
Trivia question: who is the only person to play for the Braves franchise in all three of its locations – Boston, Milwaukee, Atlanta? That's right, Eddie Mathews. And what a Brave he turned out to be – a Hall of Famer, the second greatest Brave of all time (behind Aaron), and the person who redefined the position of Third Base.
Eddie Mathews reached the majors as a twenty-year-old, in 1952. It was the franchise's final year in Boston and he hit 25 Home Runs, three in one game, and finished third in Rookie-Of-The-Year voting. They should have given him the award – he followed his freshman campaign by smacking 47 HRs to lead the Majors – while driving in 135 RBI. He would hit 30+ Home Runs for nine straight years.

AEI scholar testifies on the designation of Systemically Important Financial Institutions
The following oral remarks were made by Peter J. Wallison, Arthur F. Burns Fellow in Financial Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, during a full House Financial Services Committee hearing on the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB):
Chairman Hensarling, Ranking Member Waters, and members of the Committee:
Thank you for the opportunity to testify this morning.
Under Dodd-Frank, the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) has the authority to designate any non-bank financial firm as a systemically important financial institution, or SIFI—if the institution's "financial distress" will cause "instability in the US financial system."
Firms designated as SIFIs are turned over to the Fed for what appears to be bank-like regulation.
The troubling aspects of the FSOC's authority were revealed recently when it designated Prudential Financial as a SIFI.
Every FSOC member who was an expert in insurance (and not an employee of the Treasury Department) dissented from the decision.
Virtually all the other members, knowing nothing about insurance or insurance regulation, dutifully voted in favor of Prudential's designation.
How could we entrust the decision to regulate a large insurer like a bank, to a group with no expertise about insurance regulations?
Even more troubling was the fact that the FSOC offered no facts, no analysis and no standards in in support of its decision.
For example, interconnections are supposed to be one of the main reasons characteritics of a SIFIs.
All financial institutions are interconnected, but the FSOC's Prudential decision says nothing about the degree of Prudential's interconnections or why they constitute a danger to the financial system.
The same is true of all the FSOC's prior designations.
Let me say it plainly: This emperor has no clothes.
The FSOC seems to have no idea how to assess the danger of "interconnections" or any of the other reasons that SIFIs and are considered such a threat to financial stability that they require bank-like regulation.
This means its decisions are completely arbitrary, and sSince these decisions can have seriously adverse effects on competition and economic growth, they should not be allowed to continue until the FSOC can explain its decisions to Congress.
There are also other reasons to be concerned.
Two months before the FSOC's Prudential decision, the Financial Stability Board (FSB), an international body of regulators empowered by the G-20 leaders to reform the international financial system, had already declared Prudential a SIFI—also without any facts or analysis.
Since the Treasury and the Fed are members of the FSB, they had already approved the FSB's designation well before the FSOC designated Prudential as a SIFI in September.
This raises two questions: First about the fairness and objectivity of the FSOC designation process, and second whether the FSOC will simply "rubber stamp" the decisions of the FSB in the future.
This is important because the FSB looks to be a very aggressive source of new regulation of nonbank financial firms.
In early September, the FSB published plans to apply what it called its "SIFI Framework" to "securities firms, finance companies, asset managers and investment funds, including hedge funds."
These firms are the so-called "shadow banks" that bank regulators are so eager to regulate.
It will be very difficult to show that these nonbank firms pose any threat to the financial system, but the Prudential decision shows that neither the FSB nor the FSOC believes it has any obligation to do so.
As others have said this morning, collective investment funds are not like the banks or investment banks that suffered losses in the financial crisis.
But the question before this committee is not solely whether investment funds are SIFIs.
The FSB has already suggested it will apply the SIFI Framework to securities firms, mutual funds, hedge funds and many others.
If the FSOC follows suit—and that has been the pattern—we may see many of the largest non-bank firms in the US financial system brought under bank-like regulation.
As shown in my prepared testimony, these capital markets firms—and not the banks—are the main funding sources for US business.
Subjecting them to bank-like regulation will reduce their risk-taking and innovation, and thus have a disastrous effect on competition and economic growth.
And this outcome would be the result of decisions by the FSB, carried out by the FSOC.
About two weeks ago, Mr. Chairman, you said the FSOC should "cease and desist" on designations until Congress can assess the consequences.
I agree.

A Parade of Regulars
The good thing about the bands coming through town on a regular basis is that there's a reason for their continuing popularity--most would make excellent companions.
By no means a stranger to our town, the things we like to smoke and what goes on in our cave trains, Eek-A-Mouse is practically a local by now. If he lived in Santa Cruz, I'd totally take him mountain biking during the full moon, even though various burrs and small woodland creatures would surely stick to the tight crushed velvet pants he wore at the Catalyst show last Friday. Then we'd go to the beach, smoke ganja and dance around a drum circle with reggae-loving hippies. In the firelight, we'd all return his gap-toothed smile as he serenaded us with his rich, Jamaican-accented voice and funny falsetto sing-jay antics while his frilly black see-through blouse blows gently in the midnight ocean breeze.
Les Yeux Noirs, on the other hand, could set up in my kitchen and play melancholy Gypsy songs at suppertime. When it comes time to do the dishes, they could strike up a kinetic klezmer tune with frenzied violin solos and dizzying four-part harmonies, and we'd dash our dishes on the floor, then prance upon the broken chunks with reckless mirth and heartfelt abandon. During dessert, the cimbalom player Marian Miu could recreate the astounding solo he performed last Tuesday night at Henfling's. Then he'd employ the same hand-eye coordination to kick my ass at Playstation, occasionally letting me win so as not to spoil a beautiful Romanian evening.
Let's All Play the Drums Though We Don't Know How
There's a semilegendary band (born in the '70s Tokyo underground) coming to town that has never played in the States before, but if all the hype in The Wire and Sleazenation turns out to be true, SC may soon know the meaning of experimental Japanese nursery-school psychedelia. Eight out of 10 hippies agree that there's really no need to make fun of drum circles, but what about savvy Japanese avant-garde noisestrumentalists (and Hebrew lovers) Maher Shalal Hash Baz? Should they really be exempt from ridicule when they employ amateur percussionists, sometimes even just pulling random people off the streets to lay down the drum tracks for their recordings? Possibly, considering that husband and wife Tori and Reiko Kudo intentionally make imperfection a central theme in their music, believing in the very Zen idea that "imperfect things convey the perfectness which is so far unattainable ..." Invoking names like the Shaggs, Syd Barrett and Roland Kirk in the fawning reviews from the press, MSHB will bring their flawed and pretty little symphonies to the Cube on Friday, Sept. 12. Cinematic instrumental abstractionists the Curtains (featuring members of Deerhoof and Open City) from SF also perform. Send an email to [email protected] for more info.

Tasneem Mohammad Shah (Urdu: تسنیم محمد شاه), PhD, SI, TI, is a Pakistani scientist and a prominent mathematician who has made pioneering and instrumental research and contributions to the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) at Dr. A. Q. Khan Research Laboratories (KRL). Trained as an applied mathematician, his contributions include differential geometry, numerical analysis, information security, CFD-DEM model, hydrodynamics (of explosions), computer science, fluid mechanics, Vacuum Technology and CFD-DEM.
Tasneem Mohammad Shah was a pioneer and senior member of the Kahuta Project, and, along with Dr. G.D. Alam and Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, Dr. Tasneem Mohammad Shah have had worked out in the nuclear physics involved in gas centrifuge and the uranium based-device. As of today, he is a full professor and chairman of the Department of Mathematics at the Air University.[1][2]
Shah was born in Pakistan and had moved to Islamabad for his studies. He attended the jubilant and newly founded university, the Quaid-i-Azam University where he received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from there. He did his MSc, M. Phil. from Quaid-I-Azam University, followed by his DPhil in mathematics from University of Oxford, United Kingdom.[3] His doctoral thesis were written on "Analysis of Multi-Grid Methods, design, theory and development of Algo.".[4]
M. Shah came back to Pakistan, after the 1971 Winter War where he joined his alma mater, Quaid-i-Azam University. His early research were mainly focused and emphasised on Fluid and Aerodynamics. In 1972, M. Shah was introduced by Asghar Qadir to Dr. Abdus Salam, where Professor Salam had delegated M. Shah to Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission where he had closely collaborated with Dr. Riazuddin and Dr. Asghar Qadir in the development of the nuclear device. At the end of 1975, Dr. A. Qadeer Khan had brought the drawings of the Zippe-type centrifuges, which according to Dr. Ghulam Dastagir Alam, were incomplete and the drawings of the centrifuge machine were incorrect.[5] Dr. Anwar Ali then contacted Hafeez Qureshi to re-design and work out the solution of the Centrifuge machine. Hafeez Qureshi informed Munir Ahmad Khan (who later consulted with Dr. Abdus Salam) about the problem faced by the KRL scientists. Tasneem Mohammad Shah who specialised in Fluid dynamics from Oxford, was named by Dr. Abdus Salam for the gas-centrifuge project when Munir Ahmad Khan and Hafeez Qureshi consulted with him. In 1975, Anwar Ali and Dr. G.D. Alam had met with Tasneem Shah in Islamabad, and Shah, with the full backing of Abdus Salam, was accompanied by Dr. G. D. Alam to a secret project in Kahuta in 1975.[6]
The following years, M. Shah had joined Abdul Qadeer Khan's then-known as Engineering Research Laboratories (ERL) from its beginning years. Trained as an applied mathematician, Shah was an instrumental carrying out the experimental and theoretical research at KRL. He was the founder and had served as the first director of the Computational Fluid Dynamics Division at the KRL. In particular, he had developed the expertise techniques in fluid explosions—phenomena which are difficult to model mathematically. M. Shah, a pioneer in fluid dynamics, had used complex integrations, and mathematical methods to developed the sustainable method for the gas-centrifuges which he published his work at the KRL.
He gained fame in the research laboratory when Dr. M. Shah had mathematically modelled the fuild system in a Zippe-type centrifuge, and have had improved the technology that was brought by Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan in mid 1970s. His developed theories and the experimental research led to an improvement in the devices, and KRL had developed the advanced and newer versions of the Zippe-type technology as P-1 and P-2. M. Shah's principal contribution to the gas-centrifuge program was the rotational dynamics of the 235U by using the complex and difficult applications of Washer and Shell integrations.
Dr. T. M. Shah was one of the key scientist who had helped developing the Inertial and Thermal system of the Ghauri missile system series. He had laid down the ground work of the Liquid-propellant rocketry system and formulated the various mathematical theories of the rocket science. On 28 May 1998, with numerous other KRL and PAEC weapon scientists, M. Shah was an eyewitness to the first atomic weapons testing, at Ras Koh Hills near at Chagai Hills. He, along with other scientists, was conferred with high civilian awards in 1998, and in 1999.
After serving in KRL for more than 27 years, M. Shah had begun providing training and teaching at the KRL to the field of Fluid dynamics. He established the Department of Cryptology at NUST whereas he served as its first director. He also established the first IT University in private corporate sector and become the first Rector of KASBIT, Karachi.[7] He remained Dean, Faculty of Computer Sciences at Bahria University and established an Integrated Scientific and Industrial Software house for contract research (ISIS). He is the author of 14 Research papers. He is also working for establishment of an HEC project, "National Institute of Vacuum Science and technology".[8]
Monte Carlo simulation[edit]
The Monte Carlo method is a class of modern computation mathematics that analyses repeated simulations of random events. It often uses computer simulation to compute the results of physics systems. Tasneem Mohammad Shah's research applied the Monte Carlo method to the field of thermal radiative transfer[9] and radionuclide enrichment technology. He also used the Monte Carlo method to solve problems in missile development affecting high-temperature combustion chambers and explosive weapon warhead.
Computation fluid dynamics[edit]
Dr. Tasneem Mohammad Shah was a pioneering scientist in KRL who launched the research programs to the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at Dr. A. Q. Khan Research Laboratories (KRL). He made important contribution in the field of CFD and had published numerous papers while staying in KRL. One of his important contribution to CFD while applying the Computation Fluid Dynamics in nuclear power technology. He did his research using Pakistan's nuclear power plants, notably Karachi Nuclear Power Plant. One of his major research publication is "An analysis and comparison of tube natural frequency modes with fluctuating force frequency from thermal cross-flow fluid in 300 MWE PWR", which analysis the CFD applications in nuclear power plants powered with a gross capacity of 300 MWe.[10] His publication highly stressed the motion and the movement of the advanced fluid dynamics in a Nuclear reactor core. In a Reactor core, it is generally difficult to model mathematically the thermal and fluid systems accurately as the core consists of both high-temperature thermal fluid flow behaviour in a reactor core.[11] Dr. T.M. Shah's publication and studies are considered one of the groundbreaking contributions to computational fluid dynamics in KRL due to its emphasise on physical and mathematical understanding and insight into the fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena in a nuclear reactor core. His teaching and research has brought a groundbreaking change in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics at Dr. A. Q. Khan Research.

Roger Daltrey is performing The Who's 1969 hit rock opera Tommy at the Royal Albert Hall next week, in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
As if that isn't enough of a big deal, he has also invited a bunch of Middlesex University students to create a video projection to be shown on a huge LED screen during the live show.
Using Facebook, the students were invited to post videos, animation and storyboards reinterpreting Tommy and its difficult themes, which include abuse and disability.
"The genius of Pete Townshend is that his work, like that of all great artists, is timeless," says Daltrey. "What the students have been able to do is to get rid of the stereotyped images of Tommy that we all know and love, and come up with their own fresh interpretation."
It all started at the end of last year when Colin Payne, Middlesex University's creative director, came up with the idea of asking students to use The Who's music to inspire them in a new course that merges technology and art. He approached his old friend Rob Lee, the editor of The Who's official website, to ask if Daltrey could help students reinterpret his great work. Daltrey wanted to meet Payne immediately to discuss how the students would treat Tommy.
Four weeks later, Payne showed Daltrey the DVD of the students' work. "The joy and wonder on Roger's face was something I'll never forget," he says. "He was completely blown away. Sure, we were only watching a 10-minute montage of the initial idea – but he immediately gave the green light."

bearing puller needed
Does anybody have a bearing puller suitable for pulling transmission shaft bearings? The Toyota PN is 09950-20014 but it is no longer available. It has to have two arms with a long reach (at least 8.5 inches I'm guessing) and it probably has to have some good strength since these are press-in bearings. Now, if anybody has one, would you be willing to lend it out (or sell it cheap if you don't anticipate needing it again)? I need to rebuild my H42 in the 40.
I may have something like that. Come down and take a look if you want.
I REALLY need to tear down that H55f and get it back to him. Dan |
I bet one of the ones I made for the H55 would work like dan says.
there are quite a few pieces to the whole puller kit so just keep it all together even if you just need to borrow one part. hopefully that'll keep stuff from going missing. |
Dan |
I saw that you guys have a puller floating around and that you might be lettin' your Tennessee cousins borrow it? Or even pay to borrow it? I'm either going to have to build my own, or get really lucky and borrow one that someone has. Please let me know. Here's my H42 rebuild thread documentation for future suckers like me: http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series...76-fj40-2.html Vae |

How Well Do Aggregate Bank Ratios Identify Banking Problems?
The paper provides an empirical analysis of aggregate banking system ratios during systemic banking crises. Drawing upon a wide cross-country dataset, we utilize parametric and nonparametric tests to assess the power of these ratios to discriminate between sound and unsound banking systems. We also estimate a duration model to investigate whether the ratios help determine the timing of a banking crisis. Despite some weaknesses in the available data, our findings offer initial evidence that some indicators are precursors for the likelihood and timing of systemic banking problems. Nevertheless, we caution against sole reliance on these indicators and advocate supplementing them with other tools and techniques.

ICC has never been the golden age. WoW high times were end BC/beginning LK. Though i find MoP amazingly good and as good as BC was.
But times have changed for me. Having a 4 months old daughter and WoW don't really fit together...
@Topic: The 25's would be little more interesting with this change.
So many people have stated they prefer 25man to 10man but 10man is just so much easier to manage and no new person who wants to create a guild would even consider 25man while 10man is available only reason 25man is alive is because they're the same guilds that have been alive since wotlk, hardly any new super 25mans have sprung up only 25man guilds dying in to a 10man guild.

PLEASE blizzard implement this also on the us and eu realms. Would make raiding 25m viable again.
In Asia you pay for a short time to spent. More to do in game = more game for Blizzard. So if Koreans would have to do dailies with 7 factions, LFR, Sha, Galleon and two separate lockouts of normal\hc raids, then they will spent more time in game and more will pay for this.
EU\US pay monthly, so the price of spending one week on doing it all and doing just one raid is the same.
I'm sorry but what? Golden age of ICC? Either you weren't playing, or you have simply forgotten, that people were incredibly sick of ICC after only a couple of months, and it was also out for almost a year... I would hardly call that age "golden".
Keep the locks together, and let those who really want to raid more than once a week do so on an alt...
Good. I hope this change makes it across all servers. I did prefer the old icc way of doing things but that's not really the reason why I want this change to happen. I want everyone who insists that dailies aren't forced to eat some fucking crow when they bring this model back so I can tell them your not forced to do 10s and 25s...
---------- Post added 2012-10-25 at 11:50 AM ----------
Why is that? I mean if they split the locks up YOUR NOT FORCED TO DO 10s and 25s. Why shouldn't their be a seperate lock out....
I prefer 60fps in 10man before 5-10 fps in 25man when a lot of stuff is goin on.
Its funny how people cry for better rewards in 25man.. You get 6 loots from a Boss in 25 man SIX compared to the 2 you get in 10man. and not only that 1 item can drop multiple Times increasing the Chance you get it. I always laugh when i see a Boss dropping 4 Trinkets meaning 4 people in 1 ID got it the 4 that need it on 10man have to wait 4 weeks atleast. Oh and of course 10 man is way harder
Simple Solution: Let 10 mans drop worse gear, allow 10 man raiders to upgrade the ilvl to 25 man level using Justice points.
I'm pretty sure that's all the incentive 25 mans need in EU/US, not having to run 6 heroics every time you upgrade an item would be a strong incentive indeed.
Assuming this wouldn't apply to the US/EU servers... Wouldn't that screw up the progress race by a lot, assuming they receive a patch at the same moment in time? Double loot acquisition and all that...

That's easily the best news concerning WoW sincs years! I hope it will make it to the EU/US-servers.
YES! Maybe my guild can to steady 25 mans now.. I really love doing 25 mans, but I like the guild I am in right so much I stick with it(doing 10 mans). If this is going live, maybe we go back to 25 man raiding guild. Like the guild once was.

I could see this being true for about a month or so, then those same leaders will remember that leading those 24 idiots is not worth the gear and then just take the higher gear they got and go back to 10mans. It still ALL comes down to the raiders, not the leader... a good leader does not magically make everyone play better. It helps, sure, but dumb people will be dumb.
I could see separate lock outs for sure, that by itself would bring some life back to 25 mans simply because people would have the options to run more then one raid each week and get a higher chance at some gear, BUT there is simply no need at all for the higher ilvl gear to drop since the content itself is not harder and higher gear does not make it easier it "manager" a raid of 25 people.
I never said the raid leaders would be better, only that there would be more of them.
That's happened to raid groups I've been part of a few times but never in wrath. I think many raid leaders will endure it because they get better items.
If 10-mans and 25-mans dropped the same loot, and had separate lockouts, I'm confident in saying that the vast majority of players would go to 10-mans because more raid leaders would be prepared to lead a smaller group with less muppets in it. The primary reason that 25-mans were more popular in WotLK than they are now was the better loot.

When it comes to information glimpsed briefly from a distance on things like display screens and the like on the various Trek shows, is what is written there considered canon?
That might get a bit tricky, particularly in TATV when Riker is looking over the computer file of one of his Pegasus crewmates. It actually says "I wonder if this can be read in HD? Need to come up with something long-winded to pad this out so it looks like an authentic computer file. Blah, blah, blah, blahdy-blah. Who the hell is this guy pictured anyway? Obviously someone Riker cares about..."
"Canon" is not about individual details, but broad strokes. There are countless details in any long-running series that contradict each other, that are ignored by later installments, or that are simply mistakes. It's important not to forget that a canon is a work of fiction -- it's one author or a group of filmmakers and actors telling stories about an imaginary reality. The pretense is that there's a "real" world underlying it all, but the way the storytellers depict the details of that reality is subject to error, differences of interpretation, or changes of mind. Is it "canonical" that there's a giant rubber ducky somewhere inside the Enterprise-D, or that Yoyodyne Propulsion had a shop on the Promenade? You might as well ask if it's canonical that NCC-1701's nacelle struts blinked out of existence in that matte shot in one episode, or if it's canonical that Sylvia and Korob's true forms had wires puppeteering them, or if it's canonical that Saavik had extensive plastic surgery right after Spock's funeral, or whatever. Of course none of those are part of the imaginary underlying reality that we think of when we refer to the canon. They're part of the way that reality is interpreted by the creators of the fiction, and they can't be taken too literally. Think of it like how different comic-book artists draw the same character, or the way different actors play the same character. Different writers, directors, set designers, etc. also bring their own differences of interpretation to the work. When different people work on the same thing, there are bound to be inconsistencies in the details. But the audience is expected to suspend disbelief about the minor inconsistencies or errors and buy into the pretense that there's a consistent underlying reality. That's what canon is supposed to be -- a thing of the broad strokes, not the niggly details. So no, barely legible graphics are not "canon" any more than any other single detail is "canon." Canon is the overall aggregate that you see when you step back and look at the whole. An individual detail may be relevant to the whole or it may just be a joke, mistake, or inconsequential bit of scenery.
Given the number of references to "Yoyodyne" I would say that it safe to say they do in fact manufacture warp engines. Starships come to DS9 needing repairs in some episodes, it would make sense that there would be businesses to provide those services. Yoyodyne on the promenade? Sure. In the vampire series Angel, Yoyodyne was a client of the law firm of Wolfram and Hart. While there are some out and out goofy things in the graphics, my position is you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to the information presented on them, and the barely legible graphics are canon.
That seems like a sensible approach, especially if nobody involved ever intended them to be legible . . . .
Oh yay... another canon debate. If you want it to be part of your Star Trek experience it is. If you don't, it's not. You really don't need anyone else to define your Trek experience for you.
Everything released to the public counts. All of it. Every episode, every movie, every comic, every novel. If the owner of Star Trek sees fit to put their stamp of approval on it then it counts. However, there are contradictions. How to handle those? Simple. Just watch Parallels. If an episode contradicts something that has been seen before then we're actually seeing Something from a very similar but different dimension. Gorn look different in Arena, IAMD and STIX? Different dimensions. Was Fermat's Last Theorem ever solved? The Royale says no yet Facets says yes. Different dimensions. Kirk's middle initial R or T? You get the drill. Don't let anyone tell you something doesn't fit or isn't canon or is wrong. It's all good.
It's all part of the canon. The real question should be, it is part of the continuity? As for the "stamp of approval". That can be removed on a whim. What's okay one day can be trash canned the next.
Upon re-reading The Making of Star Trek I noticed that D.C. Fontana suggested to come up with names for the 12 ships of the "Starship Class". Bob Justman, in his subtle ways of a true gentleman, commented on the issue in a letter to Gene Roddenberry (Carbon Copy: D.C Fontana) and (added) "Enterprise Starship Class". The question is therefore whether "U.S.S. Enterprise - Starship Class" indicates in essence "Enterprise Starship Class" as the alternative would have been "U.S.S. Enterprise - Enterprise Starship Class". More in the current Trek Tech discussion regarding the Enterprise-A. Bob
Miranda class is canon, despite never being mentioned. And Archer was the UFP President and attended the opening ceremony of the first 1701 Enterprise, according to barely legible text.
The mistake is to use "canon" to mean "real and binding." The canon, however coherent or inclusive it may be, is still just a big elaborate story people told, so no part of it is any more "real" than a ghost story told around a campfire. It was invented, and so it can be reinvented, reinterpreted, retconned, or ignored. Any idea from a series canon may be useful for later storytellers to draw on if they so desire -- or it may be useful for them to ignore or contradict if that suits their needs better. But worrying about whether it's "real" is kind of pointless. It's part of the story, but stories can be adjusted and revised in ways that reality can't.
That's not a mistake, it's a technique to ensure that subsequent ideas respect the intentions of those that came before in order to create a coherent vision. It's a framework to create something where the result is more than just the sum of its parts. Disrespect "canon" and you just end up with parts and fragments but not a bigger picture. So what are many of us doing here? Should we get lost? ...which is the classic excuse for anyone who is too lazy and/or lacks passion to do some accurate research, first, and/or is too incompetent to do so. Wait a minute, "canon" was "invented" for that? And we have seen where this ends. Remember Dr. Carol Marcus from ST II, the ethical "I will not let harm come to a microbe?". In order to have a more dramatic and life-threatening setting the producers of ST III decided to have her have used "protomatter" for the Genesis Device. Oh wait, they shifted the blame to her son David, but as the supervisor of the Genesis Project, this made the Carol Marcus character look incompetent and stupid. "Improve" a story at the expense of absent actors and characters. (wanted to use another finger but that Smilie was the only one available...) Hey, it's deja-vu. Didn't we have that debate already August last year? Looking forward to August 2014... Bob
The people who actually created Star Trek pretty much echo what Christopher said. They understood the medium they worked in and weren't above changing things, adding things and deleting things. In their minds none of it was written in stone. Hell most of them would probably laugh at the idea of "canon" and semi-religious "devotion" people have developed for it.


text: The Otherworldly Architecture of François SchuitenLauren Davis9/14/09 11:20amFiled to: Future metroSpeculative architectureFrancois schuitenComicsLes cites obscuresCitiesSteampunkart nouveauArchitecture15EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkBelgian comic book artist François Schuiten is famous for creating rich and fantastical cityscapes, with shades of steampunk and Art Nouveau, envisioning a future dominated not by faceless office buildings, but by romantic and innovative architecture.AdvertisementThe son of an architect, Schuiten grew up fascinated by architecture and horrified by the increasing destruction of historic buildings in Brussels in favor of more generic modern structures. This sense has greatly influenced his most famous work, the ongoing Les Cités Obscures (often translated as Cities of the Fantastic), a collaboration with writer Benoît Peeters.Les Cités Obscures is set on a "counter-Earth," a planet similar to our own that exists on the exact opposite side of the sun. The Obscure Cities are versions of Earth cities, but are ruled by architects, and so architecture is the world's driving force. Jules Verne is a recurring character in the series, and a key influence on the comic's technology and aesthetics.AdvertisementIn addition to Les Cités Obscures, Schuiten created Les Terres Creuses (The Hollow Grounds) with his brother Luc Schuiten, and designed the Arts et Métiers Métro station in Paris (inspired by Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea), and the Hallepoort station in Brussels.[Urbicande]Arts et Métiers Arts et Métiers Hallepoort Hallepoort

Here are the last nine cards drawn in the process of making The Map. As you can see, there is a lot of emphasis on scanning since it is such a daunting task. I tell people that it is like painting the Golden Gate Bridge- it's never finished. However, I do let myself change the instructions on the cards. I make my execute the current instruction and then change it for the next time that card is drawn.
In the deck somewhere is one card which reads, "Shuffle the deck and add one new card." The deck gets shuffled three times and then cut. The new card's instruction comes from a wait list of tasks that I want to see incorporated into the making of The Map.

Prevention of Breast Cancer Begins With Public Health Education on Risks
Prevention of Breast Cancer Begins With Public Health Education on Risks
CHICAGOOf the three primary methods of preventing breast cancer that are being debated today, only onelifestyle educationis suitable at present for the general population of women.
Active chemoprevention with tam-oxifen (Nolvadex) or retinoids should be attempted only in clinical trials because of the potential for side effects, said Grant W. Carlson, MD, professor of surgery, surgical oncology, and plastic surgery, Emory University. Prophylactic mas-tectomy not only is unproved as a preventive measure, it can produce devastating psychological consequences, he noted in his presentation at the annual scientific meeting of the American College of Surgeons.
Breast cancer prevention should begin with public health education on the potentially avoidable causative factors of breast cancer, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, high-fat diet, and sedentary lifestyle, Dr. Carlson said.
Although it is difficult to establish a direct causal relationship between smoking and breast cancer, multiple cohort studies have suggested that cigarette smoking increases the risk for breast cancer, Dr. Carlson said. A large Danish study found that smoking for 30 or more years raised the relative risk of breast cancer by 60%. The Nurses Health Study at Harvard University computed an 80% increase in risk for breast cancer among nurses who smoked at least 25 cigarettes per day.
Consumption of alcohol has also been implicated in the development of breast cancer. According to the Nurses Health Study, women who drank more than one alcoholic beverage per day had a 2.5 times greater risk for breast cancer than did nondrinkers, Dr. Carlson said. A diet high in fat may explain the difference in breast cancer rates among women in western and Asian countries, he added.
Finally, exercise has been thought to reduce the risk of breast cancer by modulating the cycle of ovulation, decreasing the amount of body fat, and possibly inducing a change in immunity. [See box on the role of weight gain in the development of breast cancer.]
Adult Weight Gain Raises Breast Cancer RiskA new report from the Nurses Health Study shows that women who gain excess weight during adulthood have an increased risk of breast cancer (JAMA, November 5, 1997). The study followed more than 95,000 nurses, aged 30 to 55 years, for 16 years, during which time 2,517 cases of invasive breast cancer were identified. Women who gained at least 45 pounds and were not taking estrogen supplements were twice as likely to develop invasive breast cancer as those women who gained 5 pounds or less. |

Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart.
~ Gene Tunney
Like many of you, we lean forward towards a computer screen much of our work day. A massage therapist recommended a counter pose to Ken last year. She suggested periodically doing back bends over a large Pilate ball. So now a Pilates ball sits in the corner of the office ready for use several times a day. Our yoga instructors have long told us that back bends are great heart openers, cleanse the nervous system, and release emotional, mental and energetic blocks. When the heart center is open, we are open to love, healing and vitality.
As we embrace February and the "season of hearts", spiritual singles are invited to check out Rev. Laurie Sue's soulmate course. This course provides different kinds of Heart Openers. Also check out Sabrine's ebook with yummy recipes for pure, unadulterated, unprocessed raw chocolate!

Six Best Exercises for Wrist PainGuest Article by Jesse Cannone On a foundational level, wrist pain, like virtually all forms of pain, often has an underlying inflammatory cause. Even short-term overuse can set off an inflammatory cascade in your immune system, intended to "heal" the overworked area. If that inflammation persists on a low level, it can then contribute to the very pain it was originally intended to heal. If your repetitive movements continue... Read full article. |

About Marty's Grief Course...
"The first thing that came to mind when reading [the lesson on Anger] was the recognition that I do not get angry with people or myself. I become sad and disappointed with people and myself because they/I do not act the way I'd expect. The material helped me look at anger [in] a different way and know that it's ok not to be angry." ~ Anne G., Arizona

Distribution of the wingless gene product in Drosophila embryos: a protein involved in cell-cell communication.
Title | Distribution of the wingless gene product in Drosophila embryos: a protein involved in cell-cell communication. |
Publication Type | Journal Article |
Year of Publication | 1989 |
Authors | van den Heuvel M, Nusse R, Johnston P, Lawrence PA |
Journal | Cell |
Volume | 59 |
Pagination | 739–749 |
Date Published | Nov |
ISSN | 0092-8674 (Print); 0092-8674 (Linking) |
Abstract | wingless, a segment polarity gene required in every segment for the normal development of the Drosophila embryo, encodes a cysteine-rich protein with a signal peptide. A polyclonal antiserum localizes the wingless protein in approximately the same region of the embryo as the wingless mRNA. The pattern of antigen localization changes rapidly during development. In the extended germband stage, stripes of wingless staining are present in the trunk region just anterior to the parasegment boundary; wingless-expressing cells abut engrailed-expressing cells across that boundary. wingless antigen is seen both inside and outside the cell by electron microscopy: inside the cell, in small membrane-bound vesicles and in multivesicular bodies; outside the cell, close to or on the plasma membrane and associated with material in the intercellular space. The multivesicular bodies containing the wingless protein are occasionally found in engrailed-positive cells, suggesting that the wingless protein behaves as a paracrine signal. |

Application for old Floppy Drives
I guess they are still useful for something.
6 Responses to "Application for old Floppy Drives"
Ok, that is cool. reminds me of all the melodies you hear done by cnc machines.
I prefer Tesla coils, myself.

Awesome. I wonder if anyone is using 5.25″ floppies for something like this as well, kind of like alto and tenor instruments. Some old tape drives could add some interesting whirring noises as well.
When they can do "Flight of the Bumblebee", I will be in awe.
I feel like such a nerd for thinking that was cool.

Valley View Golf Club -- Nice, small rural course | ||
Review by: Walter Armatys | Valley View is a nice course. It will not overwhelm you, but there is a degree of difficulty. The greens are great. They run true. The rough, which is bluegrass, can swallow a ball. Three of the holes have woods that lead to an almost automatic bogey. It is my old home course, and you'll find the members to be as nice as can be. It is an enjoyable course. | |

Toni Egbert Naturist Law Library
Toni Egbert was the first Chair of the Naturist Action Committee and the Naturist Education Foundation. Her tireless leadership and unique ability to bring people together were essential qualities during the critical early days of NAC and NEF. In Toni's honor, NEF has created the Toni Egbert Naturist Law Library, a repository for legal resources of significance to naturists throughout North America. As NEF began the task of amassing the documents that would comprise the collection, it became clear that a major problem would be the matter of where, physically, to locate the library so that the greatest numbers of naturists might benefit from it. An additional concern for the all-volunteer organization was the question of library attendants and hours of operation. NEF determined that it will locate the Toni Egbert Naturist Law Library in cyberspace, where the shelves can always be expanded, and the doors can be left open twenty-four hours a day. Documents are being placed on our shelves a few at a time, as they become available and are processed. The growing collection has already proven to be a valuable resource in several legal matters of direct interest to naturists.
ENTER HEREMeanwhile, NEF is asking all naturists with pertinent legal documents to consider donating them to the Toni Egbert Library.
Antoinette "Toni" EgbertMay 12, 1943June 15, 1995

Savory And Sweet At The Wave
by Todd Perlmutter on December 8, 2011 2 Comments
Filed under: Uncategorized
Dining at Walt Disney World is always a treat for my wife, Cheryl, and I to the point where, as locals, the vast majority of our out of the home dining occurs there. We're Kosher at home, and out Cheryl remains Vegan in addition to having a gluten allergy, and I do my best to remain Kosher style which often means I eat Vegetarian when I eat out. It helps our budget tremendously that we're long time members of Tables in Wonderland – in a time when Disney is constantly trying to shave a dollar in their favor, this program is a fantastic value if you for frequent park diners.
Like other frequent visitors to WDW, I have my go-to restaurants that I keep returning to like Sanaa and the Turf Club. But a personal favorite of mine is The Wave. While there are times that the service at this restaurant is sub-par, I find the food itself to be enjoyable, comforting, and consistent. Time and again I make reservations here with friends and family alike as I know that we'll have a good meal with a great atmosphere. And, in my opinion, it has the best bread served in any restaurant on property.
Having been a few months since the last time we dined there, I used a visit by my brother as an excuse to make a reservation (as if I really needed one). We'd dined there on his last visit and he'd dubbed it one of his two favorite restaurants on property – the other being Kouzzina – so he was excited to return. We planned it as a birthday celebration for both his girlfriend and her mom.
My brother started his meal with the Citrus Duck and Fennel Salad. It was a cooked, but chilled duck served on a bed of lettuce adorned with dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and an orange vinaigrette. He really seemed to enjoy it as it's the sort of dish he relishes in and I might try it some day sans goat cheese. My only real complaint about it is that it lacks a visual appeal – in fact, it's not a very pretty dish at all.
Cheryl and I both tried the more basic and cleaner looking Fall Harvest Salad – though hers was without cheese. I wasn't entirely sure what Midnight Moon Cheese was at the time, but it turns out to be an aged wheel of goat cheese, and presents more like a shaved cheese than your more standard soft goat cheeses. It's adorned with a heirloom apple slices and candied walnuts, and is topped with an Ice Wine vinaigrette. This is a simple, great way to start your meal.
One of the birthday girls had the Cabernet-Tomato Braised Beef Short Ribs and it stood out as a fantastic choice – I'm a big fan of brussels sprouts, and it'll definitely be a future order for me some day. Instead, as I was in the mood for dessert later, I got the Curry Vegetable Stew choosing brown rice over jade. This is a newer menu item, and is a nice modern take for a curry dis. The combination of heirloom apples and asparagus in the curry sauce was fantastic. On the side I ordered the Boniato Bread Pudding, which was good, but a little dry, so I used it to soak up my curry sauce.
My brother went for the Sustainable fish for the evening which was Grouper – this dish has not changed since the restaurant opened. A friend ordered the Chili-Soy Marinated Flat Iron Steak, and they were not completely happy with it. I have to say in looking at it, and knowing my personal palette I'd probably sub out the udon noodles for the Jade Rice or Corn Succotash found on other dishes. The other birthday girl put in a special order for a plate of Prince Edward Island Mussels, and she really enjoyed picking at them. Cheryl ordered a modified version of the Vegetable Stew that had no curry, and added tofu.
As often happens at The Wave, Desserts have recently been shifted around a bit. Two of the older desserts – the Creamy Indulgence and the No Sugar Added Desserts remain on the menu. The Freshly Made Gelato is gone, which is a shame, I really liked that one. And the flavors in the American Flavors have been changed to include a Brown Butter Almond Cake with Rum Glazed Heirloom Apples, Pumpkin Pie with Spiced Cream, and a Cranberry Walnut Bar with Fresh Berry Compote. And lastly is the the Ice Cream Trio which consists of a Maple Ice Cream with Salted Candied Walnuts, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with Apple Crisp, and a Peppermint Ice Cream with Peppermint Bark.
Cheryl ordered a bowl of vanilla Rice Dream with fresh raspberries on the side. Of the four dessert dishes the only one we didn't order was the No Sugar Added Desserts. I had the Ice Cream Trio, as I felt that it having apples was a great way to tie all three of my dishes together, plus you can't go wrong with peppermint ice cream. The one item that no one seemed to like was the Cranberry Walnut Bar with Fresh Berry Compote – the compote was just way too sweet and likely belonged under the bar rather than on top of it.
It was great for Cheryl and I to get to see the always cheerful Chef Jamar again – he's just so passionate about food, his restaurant, and the satisfaction of his customers. We also had a really great waiter that evening as well. Everyone had a great meal overall, and it was a great way to wrap up a weekend of spending time together in the parks. I still believe The Wave to be one of the shining and underrated stars of Walt Disney World dining.
What about you? Have you been to The Wave? Did you like it? Hate it? Are you planning to dine there in the future? What are you looking forward to the most? Join the wave…

my family ate at The Wave for the first time last September. Indeed, the service was slower than we experience in other tale service restaurants located at a resort, the food was spectacular. And yes. The bread, and the butter (if i recall had a Hawaiian Sea Salt) are by far the best i've had in any Walt Disney World restaurant.
Yes, I've found it and other restaurants like Sanaa to have slower service. This might just be a mindset of these restaurants to be slightly less traditional in both ambiance and fare.
