What Is Spirulina
Spirulina is a blue-green algae. It is a simple, one-celled form of algae that thrives in warm, alkaline fresh-water bodies. The name "spirulina" is derived from the Latin word for "helix" or "spiral"; denoting the physical configuration of the organism when it forms swirling, microscopic strands.
Spirulina is being developed as the "food of the future" because of its amazing ability to synthesize high-quality concentrated food more efficiently than any other algae. Most notably, Spirulina is 65 to 71 percent complete protein, with all essential amino acids in perfect balance. In comparison, beef is only 22 percent protein.
Spirulina has a photosynthetic conversion rate of 8 to 10 percent, compared to only 3 percent in such land-growing plants as soybeans.
Spirulina also provides high concentrations of many other nutrients - amino acids, chelated minerals, pigmentations, rhamnose sugars (complex natural plant sugars), trace elements, enzymes - that are in an easily assimilable form.
Even though it is single-celled, Spirulina is relatively large, attaining sizes of 0.5 millimeters in length. This is about 100 times the size of most other algae, which makes some individual Spirulina cells visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, the prolific reproductive capacity of the cells and their proclivity to adhere in colonies makes Spirulina a large and easily gathered plant mass.
The algae are differentiated according to predominating colorations, and are divided into blue-green, green, red and brown. Spirulina is one of the blue-green algae due to the presence of both chlorophyll (green) and phycocyanin (blue) pigments in its cellular structure.
Even though Spirulina is distantly related to the kelp algae, it is not a sea plant. However, the fresh-water ponds and lakes it favors are notably more alkaline - in the range of 8 to 11 pH than ordinary lakes and cannot sustain any other forms of microorganisms. In addition, Spirulina thrives in very warm waters of 32 to 45 degrees C (approximately 85 to 112 degrees F), and has even survived in temperatures of 60 degrees C (140 degrees F)
Certain desert-adapted species will survive when their pond habitats evaporate in the intense sun, drying to a dormant state on rocks as hot as 70 degrees Centigrade (160 degrees F). In this dormant condition, the naturally blue-green algae turns a frosted white and develops a sweet flavor as its 71 percent protein structure is transformed into polysaccharide sugars by the heat.
Some scientists speculate that the "manna" of the wandering Israelites, which appeared miraculously on rocks following a devastating dry spell and was described as tasting "like wafers made with hone " may have been a form of dried, dormant Spirulina.
This ability of Spirulina to grow in hot and alkaline environments ensures its hygienic status, as no other organisms can survive to pollute the waters in which this algae thrives. Unlike the stereotypical association of microorganisms with "germs" and "scum", Spirulina is in fact one of the cleanest, most naturally sterile foods found in nature.
Its adaptation to heat also assures that Spirulina retains its nutritional value when subject to high temperatures during processing and shelf storage, unlike many plant foods that rapidly deteriorate at high temperatures.
Spirulina is also unusual among algae because it is a "nuclear plant" meaning it is on the developmental cusp between plants and animals. It is considered somewhat above plants because it does not have the hard cellulose membranes characteristic of plant cells, nor does it have a well-defined nucleus. Yet its metabolic system is based on photosynthesis, a process of direct food energy production utilizing sunlight and chlorophyll, which is typical of plant life forms.
In essence, Spirulina straddles that fork in evolutionary development when the plant and animal kingdoms differentiated. Thus it embodies the simplest form of life. In contrast, other algae such as Chlorella have developed the hard indigestible walls characteristic of plants.The information provided above is intended for educational purposes only.

Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Cell growth is a fundamental biological process whereby cells accumulate mass and increase in size. The mammalian TOR (mTOR) pathway regulates growth by coordinating energy and nutrient signals with growth factor-derived signals (1). mTOR is a large protein kinase with two different complexes. One complex contains mTOR, GβL and raptor, which is a target of rapamycin. The other complex, insensitive to rapamycin, includes mTOR, GβL, Sin1, and rictor (1). The mTOR-rictor complex phosphorylates Ser473 of Akt/PKB in vitro (2). This phosphorylation is essential for full Akt/PKB activation. Furthermore, an siRNA knockdown of rictor inhibits Ser473 phosphorylation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes (3). This complex has also been shown to phosphorylate the rapamycin-resistant mutants of S6K1, another effector of mTOR (4).

on to the nefarious 9 needs. first up was a 1985 fleer steve sax card
back to the 2000's - that was the year that the shawn green proliferation began, and it started while he was still in blue jays attire. here's his 2000 pacific crown collection card
his 2000 pacific paramount card
and his 2000 upper deck ovation card
2000 also meant kevin brown cards, so, like green, here are his pacific crown collection
and upper deck ovation cards.
i've mentioned before that i really like all the 2000 dodger cards because they often show the heroes patch that each player wore. brown is wearing the koufax patch that was kept out of wide circulation.
darren dreifort, shown here on his 2000 fleer tradition card,
wore the drysdale patch, but it's really hard to make out on the card, unfortunately.
these next few are better - 2000 pacific crown collection gary sheffield (jackie robinson)
2000 pacific crown collection devon white (jackie robinson)
and 2000 upper deck adrian beltre (ron cey)
thanks john, and be sure to check out johngy's beat!

The rise of economic liberalism in the latter stages of the 20th century coincided with a fundamental transformation of international economic governance, especially through the law of the World Trade Organization. This book provides a new account of this transformation, and considers its enduring implications for international law.

But to be fair thats just one group of poor lost souls, normally 18 year olds that dont know any better yet. That Air raid siren is a wicked idea! what could that do at 1 metre? I have a V8 power WW2 air raid siren in my uncles farm, its None OP and its bigger than my car! this SLP drag thing sounds crazy and dangerous to me, that kind of db would damaged anybody hearing in a heart beat! The strange part to me is that 99% of that power is turned into heat in there voice coils, so its like from 1000w of amplifier output only 10 watts is converted to acoustic pressure! nobody believes me when i tell them this fact. so even a 10,000 systems only has 100 watts of energy being converted into pure sound energy so getting the most highest rated sensitivity speakers would be best, IMO, something like 101 db per watt not 90 db per watt, that make sense? |

you are correct there its all about wank factor .I have never seen any car audio that can do what it says it can do and they mostly sound like **** to flash crome speakers that only suck power ,get hot and make **** disp sound.I mod around 2 (freinds ,friendrs of friends )cars a month that come from the wank audio shop(pro car audio,driving sound,ect)I get asked can you make it do more than just go boom boom

The amp schematic is here
ssamor hasn't posted here since last year so I don't know how well it worked. I'm going to create a daughter board for the MAX4295 so if it doens't work or I decide to experiment with UCD I can switch them whilst keeping the same power stage. If you have a look in the Electronics and parts forum under "switching large amounts of fets" (I think), Subwo posted a schematic for the buffered IR2110 using complementry mosfets in an SO-8 package. I'm powering it straight off the battery, for normal listening levels it probably won't draw over 30amps anyway. Quote:

Dave Filoni Reveals 'Star Wars Rebels' Logo, Concept Art, and Details
Posted on Saturday, July 27th, 2013 by Angie Han
The ongoing Star Wars Celebration Europe II gathering in Messe Essen, Germany, has yielded some new details about Star Wars Episode VII, including the confirmation that John Williams would return to provide the score. But wasn't the only new project discussed at the event.
Animator Dave Filoni took the stage to for a panel about Star Wars Rebels, the animated Disney XD series scheduled to premiere next year. We first got wind of the project back in May. This weekend, Filoni was able to share some new details and imagery from the show, including the new logo and a couple bits of concept art. Hit the jump to check it all out.
As previously reported, Star Wars Rebels takes place during the two-decade period between Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV – A New Hope. The series will center around a teen character, and chronicle the birth of the Rebel Alliance.
The logo, as you've probably figured out, can be seen in the header image above. The orange and black color scheme is intended to echo the flight suits worn by the rebel pilots in the original trilogy.
The first piece of concept art below depicts the Ghost, the main character's ship. Described as a cross between a B-17 and the Millennium Falcon, it's meant to feel like a "home" on the series.
Filoni cited Ralph McQuarrie as a key influence on the show. After going back and looking at McQuarrie's original artwork, he found that McQuarrie's designs often differed slightly from the finished products that made it to the screen. That suited Filoni just fine.
"We wanted to create a look for this part of Star Wars that precedes A New Hope by just a little bit," Filoni said. "We have created a set of digital brushes that replicate McQuarrie's style. […] We're going for something that's much more an illustrative look."
In addition to the hi-res concept art below, Bleeding Cool was able to snap pictures of a few other bits of concept art shown at the panel, including one of a McQuarrie-inspired Stormtrooper.
Head to their site to see more.
Star Wars Rebels will premiere with a one-hour special on Disney Channel in Fall 2014 before moving to its permanent home on Disney XD.

Neath are set to travel to Italy to face Viadana on Friday, despite not knowing exactly where the game will be played...
Coach, Lyn Jones said "We are travelling to Italy after receiving assurances from the Italian RFU that they will find an alternative venue if the Viadana pitch is unplayable.
We have spent most of the week trying to clarify the situation in Italy, and eventually received a reply this morning, having faxed enquiries together with long term weather forecasts to Viadana, the ERC and the WRU.
We had agreed to call off the match this morning (Thursday), in agreement with the President of the Viadana club, but ERC intervened to ensure the game was on.
We are keen to play the match, but our aim this week has been to ensure that we do not have to put up with a repeat of the Pontypridd debacle.
In respect of the match, it is important that we ensure the game is won before we start to think about how many tries we have to score. We plan to assess the situation at half time, and take it from there"
Neath RFC travel to Italy on the morning of Friday 11th January. The pitch at Viadana has this afternoon been inspected by Neath Officials who travelled in advance of the team and is considered to be unplayable due to the freezing conditions.
The Italian RFC/ ERC have to agreed to nominate an alternative ground within the next 24 hours
Upon their return to Wales , seven players from the club will be travelling to The Glamorgan Hotel to join Wales' pre Six Nations Training Squad.
Neath Coach, Lyn Jones said "Nathan Bonner-Evans fully deserves his call up to the national squad. He is without doubt the second best Number 8 in Wales, and has all of the attributes necessary to spend many years as a top class international Number 8"
The Neath team to play Viadana (venue to be confirmed) in the Parker Pen Shield, Saturday 12th January, kick off at 2.30pm (1.30GMT), is as follows: -
Gareth Morris; Kevin James, Allan Bateman, James Storey, Shane Williams;Lee Jarvis, Patrick
Horgan; Nathan Bonner-Evans, Brett Sinkinson, Alfie Mocelutu, Gareth Llewellyn (c) 4 Steve Martin, Andrew Millward, Barry Williams, Duncan Jones.
Replacements: Steve Jones, Shaun Connor, Steve Tandy, Andy Howell, John

Well, this should be great for McCain, he gets to talk to GW's buddy Rick Warren. Obama on the other hand, should watch his back.
I believe in the separation of church and state, particularly when it's a Republican church with a Republican pastor.
I am sensing some thinly veiled rascism in several of these comments-right Kathy?
If you are afraid of an African-American President, have the guts to say so.
I hope the Secret Service will be there to protect Barack, it's not the best area for minorities.
I don't want to see these two share a stage unless it's for a debate or town hall meeting.
Although, I'm sure Obama will try to figure a way out of any debates or town hall meetings for as long as possible...otherwise, his candidacy will be exposed for the farce that it is.
If Warren is smart he'd better let McCain speak first, otherwise most people will leave after Barack speaks.
can't wait to see obama inspire the audience. can't wait to watch mccain read words robotically off of a telepromter, while saying "my friends" a lot. vote obama.
Hey Lynn,
The average donation to the Obama Camp. was $68.00, How many special interest groups you know that go around making $68.00 donations?
The only special interest group here is the American People. By the way I rather have the Whitehouse sold to American People than Exxon and Haliburton.
It's hard to believe the comments included here: "What's up with McCain's left cheek?" and "Is McCain really planning on staying up that late?" and "McCain is not worthy to share any stage with Obama."
...and not to be outdone:
"Obama is a coward!" and "Obama will do anything to get his mug before a camera. He's so in love with himself. Maybe he should go campaign in Africa." and "Hopefully, McCain will take advantage of this opportunity to expose Hussein for the lying, pandering phony that he is now and always has been."
This is the voting public?
i can't wait till Obama rips McCain a new one in any debate shape or form because McCain can't do debates very well. HIllary was the best at debates but Obama got much better. I really do wanna see Hillary rip McCain in half in a debate but Obama will do!
Very smart marketing on Warren's part. If you want to draw a crowd in this election season, you'd better invite the GOP opponent. Otherwise this would have been a yarn.
Or maybe Warren just wants to invite McCain, whom he supports, and Barack for news coverage. Vert smart.
Saddleback Church is McCain territory. Yeeha!
Dear Mike TX,
YOU make race relations so difficult to improve, not Barack's faith. You're a joke.
I think you mean the: "Platform"....
i can't wait for the village idiot "McWar to get on stage with someone with a brain.
McWar should take a lesson in English and Geography in the next couple of weeks.
Is this the same McWar that challenged Barak to go overseas?...be careful what you wish for McSame.....he's got the news coverage.
I forsee a lot of retraction from McWars handlers...."he really didn't mean what it sounded like.".....oh yah
McCain should feel right at home at Saddleback, it's red, rich, and racist.
Rick sounds like John McCain in his invitation to Obama for town hall meetings.
Mike, TX
You should come to France racist,
That is why we don't like people like you in Europe, people who want to live in the old time.
Wake up joker.
Obama is far from to be a racist. How could he be a racist if his mum was white?
Look o ridiculous you are, honestly some of you don't stop to amaze me.
merci beaucoup (thank you very much)
Knowing what I know of Rick Warren only from family members who have been sucked into the cult of multi-level marketing (Warren's book is a bible to motivational "pushers"), I can't say I am necessarily keen on the interview aspect of it. Knowing that Obama will handle that interview with his consummate grace and dignity, though, and that McCain will fumble with memory and history gaffes, I am not much concerned that this will affect the outcome in November in any way, shape or form.
Dear Mike, TX–
News Flash- Obama is the presumptive nominee of the DNC. He is legitimate. You on the other hand are not.
I'll check back with you after Baracks' win in November.
Can you add one more question?
Ask why Viagra is covered by insurance and birth pills aren't.
(the devil made me say that – HA HA HA HA)
I hope this is televised. While Senator Obama is open about his faith and speaks of it often, Senator Mccains seems to be a secret. Or maybe his has not come under the kind of scrutnity that Senator Obama's has.
What is wrong with you people?? Mccain and Obama both deserve our praise for making the run for what arguably is the most important elected office in this world. This debate will be good as it is not a media "owned" event and may actually show us the differences in ploicy and ideas that these men have. Those of you calling names need to step back and take a real look at each candidate.
To the ones saying that the comments are all for Obama, I suppose you didn't read most of them and hey maybe more Obama supporters look here then Mccain supporters.
Also, to the fool who says Obama would sit down with Hitler. you show your ignorance by invoking the feared name once again just like all of those who have no real idea what they are talking about. Yes Saddam was a bad person but are we really going to play world police to get rid off all of the bad people in the world. The war was wrong and you know it. The fact that Obama has stated he wants to try diplomacy before he attacks someone should make you feel better. Or would you rather he make up reasons and try to sell a war instead of actually thinking.
Ask yourself if you have actually looked at what Obama or McCain are saying they will do before you start make comments about them. Go to their web sites, look at their voting records, watch the debates and interviews they have done. Until you actually look at these things and stop talking from the emails, the conservative talking heads, the liberal nutjobs or that old guy you work with then you have no real ground to stand on.
THINK FOR YOURSELF!! The media is only entertainment these days, get the facts.
I don't trust Warren as he will be a mouthpiece for George Bush, and the Republican spin. How much did John pay him to set up this showdown?
McCain is Mr. Foreign Policy? He doesn't even realize that the Czech Republic and Slovakia are now 2 countries.
This guy is too senile to be President. Maybe he can retire (and he can take that annoying little weazel Lieberman with him).

The Daily Mail: How disappointing that M&C Saatchi was unable to persuade the not normally reticent Richard Littlejohn to feature in the new Daily Mail ads.
Sadly, we only get to see the great man's laptop and cufflinks (if it really is him), alongside the slogan "Read Richard Littlejohn". Still, the choice of the "powerful and provocative" Littlejohn as the first featured journalist in the "Upgrade to the Daily Mail " campaign is a strong indication that the buoyant Mail has The Sun firmly in its sights. Littlejohn formerly worked at the Wapping title and there's an invitation to his old readers to belatedly follow him across Fleet Street. It's another headache for NewsCorp when it already has quite enough on its mind.
Chasingmen with Hayman
News of the World: The News of the World is trying to take its mind off phone hacking by gearing up for the launch next month of a supplement aimed at men. Good luck to its editor Mark Hayman who, I think we can be sure, is no relation to Andy Hayman, the police officer in charge of the original hacking inquiry.

An international human rights group has urged Thailand to properly investigate dozens of deaths during a military crackdown on anti-government protests last year, and said the lack of criminal trials showed the army continues to have impunity.
Human Rights Watch, based in New York, issued a report yesterday saying the army had used snipers to shoot protesters, killing unarmed participants and volunteer paramedics. In one incident, the army's actions amounted to "cold-blooded acts of murder", the group said.
A total of 91 people died in street confrontations that culminated in the military crackdown last May. The group found that soldiers "fired repeatedly and indiscriminately" into a temple, killing six people, including a nurse who had volunteered for medical duties with the protesters.

Snowflake Monday
In addition, I've been duly inspired by Allicats and TeachersPet, who initiated a beaded snowflake discussion on Ravelry about two months ago. Thanks, gals!
Of course, this flake may be constructed without beads.
I have tons of beads I use for eyes on my bears, lizards and other critters. It has been years since I've done any beaded crochet, and I had not tried lacing beads onto size 10 thread until my third attempt at fine tuning this flake. Most of my beads would not fit over a regular sewing needle, much less size 10 thread. For this flake, I ended up using 6/0 glass beads.
The crochet thread would not fit through any of my beading needles, so I tied a piece of sewing thread to the crocheting thread and gently slid the beads over the tiny knot after threading them onto the sewing thread with a sewing needle.
I always put about ten more beads than what I need onto the thread when creating a beaded crochet piece to make sure I have enough in case I've miscounted or a bead accidentally breaks.
You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!
Finished Size: 4.25 inches from point to point
Materials: Size 10 crochet thread, size 11 crochet hook, 54 beads, empty pizza box, wax paper or foil, cellophane tape, glue, water, glitter, small container for glue/water mixture, paintbrush, stick pins that won't be used later for sewing, clear thread or fishing line
String beads onto thread. Keep them far enough ahead to prevent them from interfering with your work, and use one bead at a time as directed.
Make magic ring.
Round 1: Ch 5 (counts as 1 dc and 2 ch), *1 dc in ring, ch 2; repeat from * around 10 times for a total of 12 spokes; sl st in starting dc. Do not pull magic ring too tight.
Round 2: *Sl st in next ch 2 sp, ch 3, tr in same space, slide one bead next to stitch after 1st loop of tr stitch (bead should be in center of tr when tr is complete), ch 3, sl st in same space, ch 1, sc in next space, ch 1, sl st in next sp, ch 1; repeat from * around 5 times for a total of 6 petals; sl st in starting sl st.
If you're not reading this pattern on Snowcatcher, you're not reading the designer's blog. Please go here to see the original.
Round 3: *Ch 2, hdc in next ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next tr, 1 tr in same tr, ch 5 (place bead in center of chain), 1 dc in 4th ch from hook, ch 2 (place bead in center of chain),1 tr in same ch, ch 3 (place bead in center of chain), 1 dtr in same ch, ch 4 (place bead in center of chain), trtr (yo 4 times) in same ch, ch 1, sl st in top of trtr just completed, ch 4 (place bead in center of chain), 1 dtr in same ch, ch 3 (place bead in center of chain), 1 tr in same ch, ch 2 (place bead in center of chain), 1 dc in same ch, ch 3 (place bead in center of chain), sl st in same ch, sl st in next ch, 1 tr in dc below, 1 dc in same dc, 1 hdc in next ch 2 sp, ch 2, sl st in sl st at base of petal, sc in next sc (between petals), sl st in sl st at base of next petal; repeat from * around 5 times ending with sl st in starting sl st; bind off. Weave in ends.
Finish: Tape wax paper or foil to top of empty pizza box. Pin snowflake to box on top of wax paper or foil.
Mix a few drops of water with a teaspoon of glue in small washable container. Paint snowflake with glue mixture. Sprinkle lightly with glitter. Wash paintbrush and container thoroughly. Allow snowflake to dry at least 24 hours. Remove pins. Gently peel snowflake from wax paper or foil. Attach 10-inch clear thread to one spoke, weaving in end. Wrap fishing line around tree branch (or tape to ceiling or any overhead surface) and watch the snowflake twirl freely whenever you walk by! Snowflake also may be taped to window or tied to doorknob or cabinet handle.

Thank you, Treeskin, for the valuable tip. I didn't have any trouble with these beads on this flake, but while making a scarf with the same beads and angora-type yarn, I tried a number of different techniques, most of which came up as huge failures, before I finally discovered using glue as a needle. Wish I'd had your wisdom before all my failed attempts!
ReplyDeleteI hope that it is ok to ask "how to" questions. On the April 10th snowflake. It has 12 spokes and 5 petals. The patterns reads sp. and otherr times space or ch 2 sp. I understand ch 2 sp, but do I crochet the sc in the previous dc or what. some patterns say space for next stitch. I just can't seem to get this one. Hum neese
ReplyDeleteHi, Neese. Certainly you may ask questions. I will try to answer as best I can.
Space and sp are the same in all my patterns. I try to be more consistent and use only sp, but sometimes I slip, as I did in this one.
I'm not quite sure how you ended up with 12 spokes and yet only 5 petals. After making the first petal, you repeat it 5 more times for a total of 6. If I could see a picture or if you explain which part of the pattern you are having trouble with, I will try to guide you.Thank you so much. That answers all.In the pattern it reads at the end of Round 2: repeat 5 x for a total of 5 petals. I am always getting mixed up whether it means 5 all together or 5 on the repeat. I started that and tore it out so many times thread was raveled. HA HA I couldn't figure out how to get 5 rinds with 12 spokes. Thanks again
neese- Kristal04 December, 2011 16:26
Thank you for sharing your beautiful snowflake patterns. I had some difficulty with this one.
In round 2, after the "sl st in the first ch 2 sp, ch 3, tr in same space, ch 3, sl st in same space, ch 1", I had to do a "sc, ch 1, sl st, ch 1" all in the same space in order to get six petals, otherwise I ran out of ch 2 spaces and only got half as many petals.
I hope that this doesn't sound super picky of me...
I am working on creating a large snowflake garland out off all of the snowflake patterns I can find, to decorate my house for Christmas. I am really enjoying your patterns. Thank you again. Hi, Kristal
I'll try working this one up again one night this week to see if I see a problem with the pattern. It's been a very long time since I've done this one, and I can't visualize the stitches without a crochet hook in my head. :)
I would love to see a photo of your garland when you are finished!

Probably best to submit an ACTUAL bug report about this, as there are no guarantees if or when the TSM devs will see this post
Printable View
General note: You may want to add a comment that the system will not know the crafting price of things if you do not know how to make them on that server. That may be unusual, but I was struggling with that a while until I realized it myself. I wish it could take the "here is the mats for this item" from another server, but that information seems to be segregated as it is setup.
This may cause problems if the groups are setup by pasting in the strings you provide, rather than being built from what the scribe knows.
I didn't try that. I am not sure I have the top group populated. Could that be the problem? I started pasting into the groups with your labels. Though that can't be completely it since I created my enchant posts on a toon that knew enchants this one did not. Those didn't setup properly either on a server they were not known.
They are imported into the lower groups. They go through the motions when posting. They just don't have a crafting price, which makes their price invalid to the system ("--"). I will try that, but it was buying the glyph pattern (in Dalaran in this case) that solved the problem, not importing the glyphs into a different spot. (I can't target learn individual glyphs though, so the learning was for an enchant that had a similar problem, though it used the TSM import to setup groups and I would assume was populated correctly.
Hello there. I'm very very newb with TSM yet, and as such I have one question. What is the Craft Price as opposed to the Material Cost? I really don't get it, they look the same to me.
Sorry for any incovenience.
I see, thanks.
What would you recommend as Craft Price method in general?
PS- Once again I'm very sorry but this popped in my mind. In some sources I've seen craft price described as the price of the craft itself, as say you want to craft a Artful Vermilion Onyx: Is the craft price the value of the cut gem, or the price of the raw gem?
The price of the raw gem.
In general, at least 105% crafting will ensure a profit above and beyond the 5% AH fee. I'd use this or something slightly higher for your minimum price (threshold). For your normal price (fallback), you're trying to hit the "value" of the item in question. Somewhere around 100% dbmarket would be a decent place to start.
Name of the game in TSM 2.0 is adjustments, so simply use those numbers as starting points and tweak things around until you find something that works for you.

Not every artist has been inspired by the birthday story this Christmas: death is the theme of Flowers East's annual Christmas group show, "Small is Beautiful, Part XV". Last year it was sex. This delicate doll sprouting flowers (above), in modelling plaster, 12 inches long, is by 40-year-old RCA graduate Denise de Cordova and titled Soft Ground. The piece is deliberately poised on the verge of sentimentality. Sssh! The tiny figure might only be sleeping.

Sing in the Chancel Choir
Rehearsal is each Sunday morning at 9:15 am in the Choir Room. During Advent and Lent, rehearsal usually moves to 9:00 to get ready for Christmas and Easter. The choir assists the congregation in its worship life and sings a wide variety of music.
In the summer, rehearsal begins at 9:30 am in the Choir Room. The choir particularly welcomes additional singers during the summer. All vocal parts are welcomed, especially women. There is no audition--just show up for rehearsal. The ability to read music is not a prerequisite. This is a week to week commitment--sing when you can. The summer choir music is a lighter fare and easily learned during each rehearsal.
Listen to the Chancel Choir
O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion (from Messiah)
He Shall Feed His Flock (from Messiah)
The E. M. Skinner Organ
Central's organ was built in 1930 by the E. M. Skinner Pipe Organ Company (Opus 776) and was completely restored in 1997. The instrument is composed of 40 ranks (sets) of pipes and is placed in the chambers on either side of the chancel and in the balcony at the rear of the sanctuary. It is the only Skinner pipe organ in Louisville.

Guests are invited to spend time in the Willka T'ika gardens, filled with ancestral Inkan herbs. In the gardens, subtle healing takes place on a soul level bringing peace to the psyche.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Tamils march in Geneva on Human Rights day[TamilNet, Tuesday, 08 April 2003, 11:52 GMT]Thousands of expatriate tamils from United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, France and other European countries, Monday, joined a march to the United Nations (UN) building in Geneva where sessions on Human Rights issues are being held at the UN, Tamil daily Uthayan from Jaffna reported.

The marchers demanded that,
Mr. Anton Balasingham, Political Advisor to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the leader of the LTTE peace negotiation team, hoisted the Tamil eelam flag. Albert and head of the Swiss office Kulam addressed the audience. Mr. Anton Balasingham spoke at the conclusion of the meeting. Adele Balasingham personally signed copies of Tamil version of her book "The Will to Freedom," to meeting attendees, papers reported.

I nominate Sven Ortmann to be German minister of defence.
ReplyDelete I've got a feeling that he was sarcastic. ;)
Rising, surviving and achieving in politics requires a different skill set than mine. Sadly, I don't know anyone with the right qualification for that job.
I've been in contact with another federal German ministry as part of projects (including meetings and small conferences in it) and my conclusion was that it should be completely razed in order to save taxpayer money...- Anonymous2 December 2011 at 05:51
You'd shaked them up well and have them running like a fine tuned machine as minister of defence, i was only being sarcastic to the extent that it would be hard for you to get to be a minister, but not at all sarcastic on your ablity to run the german military well, assuming people higher up didn't get in your way.
ReplyDelete The problem is identical in every other social endeavour. The right people to understand and react through reforms to a change in the social/technical enviroment are not the ones who usually survive and advance in political/corporate medium.Different type of skills and personality are needed.
You use extremly logical and rational arguments, but they are rather useless in political and - in a smaller measure - coporate enviroment.
Of course in time of crisis society changes rapidly and the ones who adapt and survive make great personnel adjustments by changing large parts of the management class - be it military ,political in executive positions or economic.
Also it is extremly difficult to identify the right ideas. A very recent example is the " Jeune École" which changed the french navy some 100 years ago. Results were dissapointing at the time. Their ideas proved valid with the advent of the guided missiles many decades after, but their mission to reform and strenghten the french navy proved a failure.
So until a crisis hits - a military one for our discution - nothing notable will happen (Sociological factors at work )and in the end nobody knows what should happen in order to strenghten the armed forces ( technological facts).
This is the normal social behaviour. Always has been.
The most interesting example I think is the period before the first world war.
All sides were extremly militarized societies and devoted enormous resorces for their military/industrial structures. Huge numbers of very smart people were involved, the future of the world and national survical were at stake. And yet all sides were completly wrong.Everyone of them. Their assumptions were wrong, their aproach regarding the difficulties ahead were wrong, nobody had a clue about what was usefull and efficent and what was not. Even the technological approach was completly wrong. In 1918 completly different equipments were considered vital then in 1914( trying to underline an idea, of course its debatable about battleships and so on but these are deatails I think).- Distiller6 December 2011 at 22:25
You don't like Think Tanks? Well, at least you get a certain spectrum of opinions. Better than Generals, retired or not. And it's not like they will say anything out of line anyway. (Not that a lot of think tanks would). National security and the national interest are way too important to leave them to the professionals. Huge weakness of our political system: THe disconnect between "We, the People", the political caste, and the military caste, (and the economic caste, and the technical caste, and ...). Then of course it's not like as if the informed and mature citizen is a goal of this system.
Agree with "teo". - Anonymous16 December 2011 at 21:50
What about playing fields for old and new officers where they can test concepts and ideas. The next step in wargaming could be to create fictional machines and test them (run them under best and worst estimate of capabilities). This would be fun, keep soldiers occupied and open the way for discussion. Yes, discussion, create some forums where people can discuss their new ideas. Essentially it would be creating a big workshop of different game-moding factions and some of the ideas are going to get traction through conviction of numbers of soldiers. Asking officers and generals tends to overlook that there are a lot more capable people in every military who have a valid point of view (because they risk their own skin, not just a promotion). So, I would introduce some military democracy to the procurements by the armed forces.
Btw why was Luftmechanisierung not carried out with much cheaper aircrafts such as autogyros currently used in the Schiebel Camcopter S-100?

"Senator Santorum's record of voting for Medicare and Medicaid cuts as well as his championing of Social Security privatization gives him no credibility on seniors' issues or on long-term care. Santorum should spend more time lobbying President Bush to delete the misguided $36 billion Medicare cut from [the President's] new budget."
Larry Smar
"I will vote against any bill that takes Social Security tax dollars and diverts them to any other purpose than Social Security benefits."
Rob Simmons
"Social Security is the very foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans."
Sue Kelly
"Our country also hungers for leadership to ensure the long-term survival of our Social Security system. With 70 million baby boomers in this country on the verge of retirement, we need to take action to shore up the system."
Kay Hutchison
"Yes! I looted Social Security, But I gave the money to the rich...."
George W. Bush
"The fact is Gov. Bush's plan would leave the Social Security Commission only two choices: insolvency in 2023 or a 50% cut in guaranteed benefits."
Kym Spell
"The requirement that military personnel use the Social Security number for practically everything is nothing short of criminal, ... I got an e-mail from one military member who said he was required to stencil his name and Social Security number on his duffel bag. It's really outrageous."
Beth Givens
"The Social Security number is the key to many types of identity thefts."
Betsy Broder
"People pay a lot of attention to their Social Security statements."
Ann Combs
"We love the bingo. You tell them the people on Social Security will sit at home in a rocker and die if they don't have bingo."

A village is being terrorized by a demon. Daerun, the Dragon-lord that claims this territroy, has decreed that before he will help any cause, he must have a gift to show that the cause needs his intervention. Now you must go and kill/capture some of the demons underlings to present to Daerun or the village is doomed.
Two religeous sects are approching open war after members of each sect are found brutally beaten to death.
The village's spiritual leader is fevered and babbling about ghosts. Is what's plauging him an assault from beyond the grave, or of a more earthly source?
Chaos and Law have reached a comprmise and stopped thier warring. This truce holds as long as the respecitve priests honors the other's ways for one day of the year. Lawful preists must incite a large decadant celebration or carelessness and the chaotic priests must chaperone the event and keep the party from turning ugly while remaining out of involvement. Thus the warring of the gods has been kept in check for decades and all is well. At least untill the materials for the party come up missing two short weeks before the truce day…
An adventuress, Semma, has returned to her home village, but something has gone badly wrong: it's the furtive glances, the conversations that stop when she approaches, the childhood friends who now have no time for her. She returns to the town or city and enlists your party to help her find out what's going on.
The party must find out what is wrong: something (perhaps a Cthulhoid monster, perhaps a gang of vampires, perhaps just a bunch of bandits) is extorting obedience from the villagers by threatening their loved ones with at least death. Once the source is discovered, Semma and the party and a few brave yeomen (and women) must deal with the threat by finding its base and defeating it, and then deal with the remnant corrupted villagers who willingly served the Evil Force. These may prove to be the most difficult foe...
