The press to partygoer ratio was about one-to-one at the Joy Kills Sorrow Spoleto SCENE party. Flashbulbs aplenty fired while media mavens scribbled in notebooks and the stylishly dressed crowd of socialites mugged for the camera in groups of two or three.
As journalists circulated about the Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art, attendees crowded around a table of gourmet savory bites, relishing chicken skewers, miniature ham and cheese sandwiches, and goat cheese-stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. Everyone rubbed elbows over glasses of wine while chatting about the upcoming Joy Kills Sorrow concert, or the Saltworks exhibit by Japanese artist Motoi Yamamoto.
The media began to disappear after each partygoer had been sufficiently documented, and guests buzzed about their top Spoleto picks and other Spoleto parties. The concert grew near, and the crowd thinned considerably as everyone headed across the street to stake out a good spot for the much-awaited Joy Kills Sorrow concert.
Spoleto SCENE is the young patron group of Spoleto Festival USA. Members of Spoleto SCENE help to support festival operations as well as helping to support Spoleto's presentation of selected artists.
Spoleto Festival USA is an annual, internationally recognized 17 day festival of the arts which takes place in Charleston, SC. While providing performances of the highest caliber, Spoleto Festival USA maintains a dedication to young artists, a commitment to all forms of the performing arts, a passion for contemporary innovation, and an enthusiasm for providing unusual performance opportunities for established artists.

The twice-monthly Lost Knowledge column explores the possible technology of the future in the forgotten ideas of the past (and those just slightly off to the side). Every other Wednesday, we look at retro-tech, "lost" technology, and the make-do, improvised "street tech" of village artisans and tradespeople from around the globe. "Lost Knowledge" was also the theme of MAKE, Volume 17
This week, we look at the largely-lost Medieval art of timbrel vaulting structures and the related, more modern (late 19th century) system of interlocking terracotta tiles which create what are known as Guastavino domes, after their inventor, Rafael Guastavino.
Low-Tech magazine has an excellent introduction to timbrel vaulting and Guastavino domes, called "Tiles as a substitute for steel: the art of the timbrel vault." Here's an excerpt:
The method of timbrel vaulting was developed in the 14th century around the Mediterranean, although its precise origins are unknown. The timbrel vault is also known as a "masonry vault", "Catalan vault", "tiled vault", "laminated vault", "flat vault" and "layered vault" (derived from Spanish, French, Italian and Catalonian descriptions).
A roof of tiles
Timbrel vaulting differs substantially from the Roman method of arch building, which relies on gravity. A Roman vault consists of a single layer of thick, wedge-shaped stones (see below).
The timbrel vault does not rely on gravity but on the adhesion of several layers of overlapping tiles which are woven together with fast-setting mortar. If just one layer of thin tiles was used, the structure would collapse, but adding two or three layers makes the resulting laminated shell almost as strong as reinforced concrete.
The result defies common sense, because a timbrel vault is very thin compared to a Roman vault, while at the same time it is capable of bearing much higher loads. This of course enables wider spans and gentler curves.
The Architecture Department at MIT sponsors the Guastavino Project and Guastavino.net website. Boston was the epicenter for Guastavino domes in North America because the Guastavino Company and Guastavino Company Tile Factory were based there. There were nearly a thousand such buildings throughout the US and some 65 in the Boston area. The website has information and pictures of each of these buildings, maps of their location, info on walking tours of Guastavino buildings around Boston, etc.
In 2005, members of MIT's Guastavino research team traveled to the UK to help build a Guastavino dome for the Pines Calyx conf center near Dover in Kent. The design and construction of the domes drew heavily on Guastavino research done at MIT. Here are some pics of their build.
Structural assessment of Guastavino domes
Architectural engineer Sezer Atamturktur has done an impressive analysis of the structural dynamics and significant features of Guastavino domes: She writes:
Rafael Guastavino refined the technique of erecting thin terra-cotta tile, a thousand year old building system of 'Catalan Vaulting.' His company was involved with more than 1000 buildings in North America between the 1880s and the 1960s. Although Guastavino tile vaulting contributed to many prestigious buildings of that time, the structural behavior of this construction system has received little or almost no attention in the literature. It is the intention of this thesis to study this empirically designed system by using tools of modern engineering: experimental modal analysis, thin elastic shell theory and finite element analysis.

One interesting project built using a modern interpretation of these domes was the Cuban National Art Schools, an ambitious post-revolutionary (1961-65) plan to create idealized centers for creative/arts education. There were plans for such schools all over Cuba. The first one was never completed and much of the complex is now in ruins. One of the designers behind the project was a student of Antoni Gaudà who did a lot of innovative work with the timbrel vault.

This is all a conspiracy:
- maybe OPEC just wanted to f- us and prove how badly they could control our economy so they can make future demands
- maybe oil is not even that scarce, but the US wants to keep exploiting other countries' resources and saving our own - but when we're pushed - we'll open our reserves and collapse the ill-intended efforts of OPEC
- maybe a new world order is trying to reform our habits so that we drive less often and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The recent fuel price hikes were to teach us a lesson
So will gas prices keep going lower? If they do, will people drive MORE? I don't see myself doing that though. But very often I am too tired nowadays.
Will gas prices shoot back up for any of the conspiracy goals I typed out above?
Don't believe anything! Keep alert! Be mindful of the Living Force.

Women College Graduates Fortify Minnesota's Economy
Contact: Sandy Connolly (651) 259-3902
Minnesota postsecondary institutions awarded 74,277 diplomas, certificates and degrees last academic year, up slightly in all categories from the previous year, according to data released today by the Office of Higher Education.
For the first time, women earned more than half of the professional degrees awarded in Minnesota. Women also accounted for more than half of all business major graduates in the state, a significant change from a decade ago. The number of bachelor's degrees earned by women in Minnesota increased 26 percent from 1994, while the number of bachelor's degrees earned by men increased 15 percent. The increase in women graduates mirrors a national trend.
"The growing number and share of women graduates is encouraging," said Susan Heegaard, Director of the Office of Higher Education. "The number of male graduates is increasing less rapidly. In today's high-skills economy, we need to get the message out that some college or postsecondary training is the key to a promising career."
The breakdown of degrees awarded illustrates the range of skills, knowledge and talent entering the Minnesota economy this year.
2003-2004 awards by type
- 14,898 diplomas and certificates below the baccalaureate level
- 940 certificates at the post-bachelor's or post master's level
- 14,320 associate degrees, which generally take two years to complete
- 29,986 bachelor's degrees
- 11,444 master's degrees
- 1,032 doctorate degrees
- 1,659 first professional degrees, such as dentistry and law
The data is derived from the National Center for Education Statistics at the U.S. Department of Education and include public and private postsecondary institutions throughout the state.

Anatomy of an Instant Classic
- Written by Dave Walsh
On Saturday December 5th, 2009 at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan, one of the pivotal matches in K-1 history occured. A match that will be talked about and referenced for many years to come. Normally, a fight of this magnitude involves long-standing legends of the sport. Fighters such as Peter Aerts, Ernesto Hoost, Mike Bernardo or the late great Andy Hug. But not this one. This battle would be between a young gun by the name of Badr Hari and an outsider. A fighter known in other areas of the combat sports world that sought to add a K-1 title to his resume. While this fight could have been just another in the long history of kickboxing, it quickly became so much more.
Alistair Overeem started his kickboxing career at 17 years of age. He then moved on to fighting under the K-1 banner in 2001. Achieving little success, Overeem decided to concentrate on MMA full time. His next return to the K-1 ring would be on December 31st, 2008 at Dynamite!!. Alistair knocked-out Badr Hari in their fight and started one of the sports most intriguing rivalries. After Badr turned down a match under MMA rules, Alistair decided to further pursue his K-1 career and enter the running for one of combat sports most exclusive titles, the K-1 World Grand Prix. Alistair would go on to lose a close decision to Remy Bonjasky at the Yokohama GP in March of 2009. After being voted in as a fan favorite to compete in the Final 16, Alistair defeated the legendary Peter Aerts. This punched his ticket to the World Grand Prix. What would follow was so much more than just a fight.
It's December 4th and the stage is set for the pre-fight press conference. After the first set of fighters are introduced and they address the media, the second wave of combatants enter the room for their pictures, staredowns, and comments. Sure, Errol Zimmerman, Ruslan Karaev, Semmy Schilt, Ewerton Teixeira, and Remy Bonjasky are there, but the buzz in the room was for two fighters: Badr Hari and Alistair Overeem. What will they say? How will they approach each other?
Badr is first up and says what most fighters say at this time - that he's excited to be fighting and has trained very hard. He then acknowledges that Karaev, who he'll meet in the quarterfinals, is an exciting fighter and that he hopes their fight will be epic.
Alistair then steps to the podium and repeats much of the same rhetoric that Badr does. Then, in a brilliant bit of provocation, Michael 'The Voice' Schiavello asks Alistair to expound on what he had previously said about MMA being harder than K-1. Overeem then reinforced that statement and proclaimed he could defeat any K-1 fighter in a MMA fight in two to three minutes. This was met with a string of boos and some applause. After the translation, Alistair said that Badr already declined a fight under MMA rules and he opened the opportunity to any other K-1 fighter that would like to take advantage of it. Once again, more boos. The crowd in attendance clearly doesn't side with Alistair.
Seeing an opportunity to add an immeasurable amount of drama to this fight, Badr raises his hand, like a child in elementary school, for permission from Schiavello to speak. Permission is granted and he approaches the podium and is clearly picking his words as he addresses the media. Hari acknowledges that Alistair won their first fight and that he has done well in K-1. What came next was the sound byte that would define this whole tournament. "If he gets through the first fight against Teixeira, then I promise that he won't make it to until three minutes in the kickboxing ring with me this time." Badr turns to his right and bows to Alistair as the crowd goes wild for Badr, even starting a BADR - BADR chant. It's very clear whose side the public at-large is on. It's Alistair Overeem against Badr Hari and the K-1 world.
After Ewerton Teixeira, Semmy Schilt, and Errol Zimmerman address the media, it's Remy Bonjasky, the current K-1 WGP champion's turn to speak. Remy talks some about Errol and how he is a hungry, young fighter and even said that Zimmerman copied his flying kicks from him but he's ok with it. Schiavello then cuts to the chase and declares Remy the defender of the faith for K-1 and asks him his opinion on what Alistair had to say about MMA versus K-1. It can't be overstated how well Michael ran that press conference and asked all the right questions. Remy goes on to say that it's not only his job to defend K-1's honor but every fighter that will be in attendance that weekend. Remy believes that Alistair is treating K-1 as a part-time job and that he wants to take the title back to MMA. Then, in what could be considered a desperate plea, Bonjasky asks all fighters to "Beat Alistair, please!" This statement is met with more applause as Remy takes a seat.
Alistair, not to be outdone, arises to take the podium, without asking for permission as Badr did, and clearly has a rebuttal to Remy's outcry. After Schiavello quiets the boos brought on by Alistair taking the mic, Overeem says that with due respect to the fighters, many are afraid of him and to "Do your best. I wish all of you luck."
This was all well and good but the buildup between Badr 'Golden Boy' Hari and Alistair 'The Reem' Overeem will be for nothing if they don't meet in the semi's. Thankfully, Badr defeated Ruslan Karaev in 38 seconds and Alistair brutally knocked-out Ewerton Teixeira leaving both men fresh and ready for what's sure to be a cataclysmic fight in the semifinals.
Alistair enters first and he looks somewhat anxious, if not a bit nervous. The enormity of the moment had to be staggering. He had been making very bold statements and the time had come to put up or shut up against one of the sports most luminous stars. Even the normally calm Overeem may have been just a little caught up in what was about to happen.
Badr enters second and is carrying the honor of the sport he loves upon his very capable shoulders. It was time to vindicate the K-1 world and he was the man destined to do it. A loss here would be a huge blow to not only Hari but the sport of kickboxing. With every victory, Alistair was making good on his statements that irked so many fighters before.
The fight starts calmly as both are very respectful of each others skills. Badr moves in to land a combination and Alistair clinches then dumps Badr to the ground in stunningly quick fashion. They exchange strikes with neither fighter doing a large amount of damage. Badr moves in to land another combination and Alistair throws him to the turnbuckle like a child. The strength of Alistair is incredible. He is showing that he'll win the strength battle. Apparently, Badr didn't appreciate that happening a second time as he knocks down Alistair with a right hand after the stand-up. The crowd roars with excitement as the referee gives Alistair an 8 count. Hari smells blood and goes after Alistair, mixing in body shots and kicks with his punches. Badr used this to seal the win as he pushed Alistair back towards the corner with punches that seemed to knock Overeem off-balance before that pivotal high-kick ended the fight at :47 of the first round. Well within Badr's promise of beating Alistair inside of three minutes.
This fight had everything needed for it to be one of the all-time best. The storyline could not have been written any better. The glory of K-1 being defended by one of its tough young fighters against a more than capable foe. An instant classic.
Alistair has went on to have much success in the K-1 world. He's the reigning 2010 World Grand Prix champion and has won over the hearts of fans all over the world. He is a very popular fighter in Japan and his popularity will only grow in the America's through the upcoming Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix. I believe Badr will be back fighting this year and maybe we'll see the rubber match in this very exciting rivalry. We can only hope.

Admittedly I haven't listened to the podcast but what I've gleamed from this thread and the one on ANN, it seems like it was structured to be "we're gonna talk to this one guy about this hobby and share what we think (as little as that may be)" and not a "we're going to act as an all-knowing authority and tell people across the globe the biting truth about the AMV community, history, present and future" or whatever. I guess I don't see the point in getting so upset over it. Or is ANNCast like a huge major deal (though.. I dunno.. even if it was I still wouldn't totally get it)? If he IS a Bill O'Reilly type figure... so what?
Zac is Zac Bertschy, the Executive Editor of AnimeNewsNetwork, former Associate Editor of the print magazine Anime Insider, and also was the columnist for the AnswerMan column that runs on ANN (he's since handed the column over to someone else). He's kind of a big name in anime-related journalism, and has a pretty big pulpit to spread his opinions from.

11.5: Determining Relative Ages
Clues can tell you a person's age.
There are ways to tell the ages of people relative to each other. For children we use height, for adults we might use gray hair and wrinkles. There are also ways to tell the relative ages of rocks. We'll practice in this lesson.
Determining the Relative Ages of Rocks
Steno's and Smith's principles are essential for determining the relative ages of rocks and rock layers. In the process of relative dating, scientists do not determine the exact age of a fossil or rock but look at a sequence of rocks to try to decipher the times that an event occurred relative to the other events represented in that sequence. The relative age of a rock then is its age in comparison with other rocks. If you know the relative ages of two rock layers, (1) Do you know which is older and which is younger? (2) Do you know how old the layers are in years?
An interactive website on relative ages and geologic time is found here: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/education/explorations/tours/geotime/gtpage1.html.
In some cases, it is very tricky to determine the sequence of events that leads to a certain formation. Can you figure out what happened in what order in (Figure below)? Write it down and then check the following paragraphs.
A geologic cross section: Sedimentary rocks (A-C), igneous intrusion (D), fault (E).
The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. The fault cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B, and C) and also the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest feature. The intrusion (D) cuts through the three sedimentary rock layers, so it must be younger than those layers. By the law of superposition, C is the oldest sedimentary rock, B is younger and A is still younger.
The full sequence of events is:
1. Layer C formed.
2. Layer B formed.
3. Layer A formed.
4. After layers A-B-C were present, intrusion D cut across all three.
5. Fault E formed, shifting rocks A through C and intrusion D.
6. Weathering and erosion created a layer of soil on top of layer A.
- The oldest rock units lie beneath the younger ones.
- By the principle of cross-cutting relationships (and common sense) we know that something must exist before something else can cut across it.
- The history of a section of rocks can be deciphered using the principles outlined in this Concept.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What is relative dating?
2. What is the problem with relative dating?
3. Describe the law of supposition.
4. What is absolute dating?
5. Which type of dating gives you an exact date?
1. What is relative age? How does it differ from absolute age?
2. Why do the principles of relative dating not indicate the absolute age of a rock unit?
3. Under what circumstances would a rock unit with an older fossil be above a rock until with a younger fossil?

Charles & Ray Eames
American designers Charles (1907-1978) and his wife Ray (1912-1988) Eames made groundbreaking contributions to many creative fields including architecture, furniture design, industrial design, graphic design, fine arts and film.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Charles Eames grew up in America's industrial heartland. As a young man he worked for engineers and manufacturers, anticipating his lifelong interest in mechanics and the complex working of things. Ray Kaiser, born in Sacramento, California, demonstrated her fascination with the abstract qualities of ordinary objects early on. She spent her formative years in the orbit of New York's modern art movements and participated in the first wave of American-born abstract artists.
The couple married in 1941 and moved from Michigan, where they had met at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, to Los Angeles and established an office together. With a grand sense of adventure, Charles and Ray turned their curiosity and boundless enthusiasm into creations that established them as a truly great husband-and-wife design team. Their unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture. Modern and minimal. Playful and functional. Sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully simple. That was and is the "Eames look."
They got their first big break in 1942 when the US navy placed an order for 5,000 splints that they had made from a mould of Charles' own leg. Having moved into a rented studio on nearby Santa Monica Boulevard, the couple continued their experiments in plywood producing furniture such as the Plywood Chair (1945), sculptures and even toys. After plywood, the Eames focused on projects with other materials by creating furniture in fibreglass, plastic, aluminium and, for the 1956 Lounge Chair, which was designed as a gift for director Billy Wilder, leather and a rich plywood. It was their experiments with fibreglass that led to the production of one of their most recognisable pieces still today: the Eames plastic armchair. The Eames plastic armchair was first presented in 1948 at the New York Museum of Modern Art's 'Low cost furniture design' competition. The comfortable shell, made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic, was combined with a variety of bases to create different looks.
Their lives and work represented the nation's defining movements: the West Coast's coming-of-age, the economy's shift from making goods to producing information, and the global expansion of American culture. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country. In a rare era of shared objectives, the design team partnered with the federal government and the country's top businesses to lead the charge to modernise postwar America.


text: I spent some of my earliest years in the La Canada/Flintridge area, my grandfather's ashram is even up there, and it doesn't surprise me to see it burning again, that area goes up all the time - drought begets dry plants, high heat makes it easy to ignite dry plants, dead plants loosen soil, rains come in months later and flood without the plants, lather rinse repeat. However, it's bizarre to see it burning at the same time as parts of the Angeles Forest and the San Bernadino mountains. Yet it's La Canada fire that looks like a big mushroom cloud every day when I go outside, and it's the only one I can see burning from the freeway at night.

ISO 50001 Standard for Energy Management
ISO 50001:2011 is the new standard for Energy Management Systems. It enables achieving continuous improvement of energy performance in an organization
Organizations, operations, and locations that consume large amounts of energy will benefit from better planning and management of their energy resources. As energy becomes more expensive, and organizations work to maintain costs, an energy management system (EnMS) will benefit those that invest early. Coupled with goals for lower GHG emissions, renewable energy use, and integration with ISO 14001, adopters will also make considerable improvements in sustainability and environmental impact.
ISO 50001 will integrate easily with a business' other management systems, such as quality (ISO 9001) and environmental (ISO 14001). It utilizes the same Plan-Do-Check-Act model that has made other standards successful.
Benefits of ISO 500001
- Improve the return on investment of energy-consuming assets
- Establish a basis for measuring and managing energy-use and GHG emissions
- Facilitate communications and planning for the improved use of energy resources
- Create a framework for promoting and implementing best practices
- Build a financial model for investing in new, energy efficient, low GHG emitting technologies
- Align energy use with other management system objectives, such as quality, environmental, and financial
- Engage the entire organization in better energy use and lower GHG emissions
- Meet government and industry contractual requirements for efficient use of energy
- Capture competitive advantage in the marketplace

I just started to collect these and i was wondering what you guys thought were the best sets?
X-wing is my top choice (now a soon-to-expire LEGO Direct exclusive), I also would say the Jango Fett Slave 1 (though you need some extra pieces to fill in the big gaps), the Falcon (another soon-to-expire LEGO Direct exclusive), and the MTT.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
vader TIE/Y-wing, the first speederbikes, and the landspeeder....even though i don't have it yet
i'm also fond of the desert skiff, the set with yoda, AT-ST, and the AAT.
i need an ephant mon, who wants to help? :D
Jango's Slave-1 would be my favorite, the Republic Gunship, and Bounty Hunter Pursuit are also 2 of my favorites And although they are not out yet the Republic AT-TE looks awesome.
"I'm a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe." - Jango Fett
My favorites are the Falcon, Jango's Slave 1 and the B-wing (I'm not sure why I like this one so much, but I do)

Thrombophlebitis is swelling (inflammation) of a vein caused by a blood clot.
Phlebitis, superficial phlebitis, deep vein thrombosis
The following increase your chances for thrombophlebitis:
There are two main types of thrombophlebitis:
The following symptoms are often associated with thrombophlebitis:
The health care provider can usually diagnose the condition based on how the affected area looks. You may need to have your pulse, blood pressure, temperature, skin condition, and circulation frequently checked to make sure you don't have complications.
If the cause cannot be easily identified, one or more of the following tests may be done:
In general, treatment may include support stockings and wraps to reduce discomfort, as well as medications such as:
You may be told to do the following:
Surgical removal, stripping, or bypass of the vein is rarely needed, but may be recommended in some situations.
For more specific recommendations, see the particular condition (
Thrombophlebitis and other forms of phlebitis usually respond to prompt medical treatment.
Superficial thrombophlebitis rarely causes complications.
Complications of deep vein thrombosis include a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) or chronic pain and swelling in the leg.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of thrombophlebitis.
Call your health care provider promptly if thrombophlebitis symptoms do not improve with treatment, if symptoms get worse, or if new symptoms occur (such as an entire limb becoming pale, cold, or swollen).
Routine changing of intravenous (IV) lines helps to prevent thrombophlebitis related to IVs.
If you are taking a long car or plane trip, walk or stretch your legs once in a while and drink plenty of liquids. Wearing support hose may help.
If you are hospitalized, your health care provider may prescribe medicine to prevent deep venous thrombosis.

Is there any way that, by looking at a bit stream, for me to know if I'm using the right bitrate?
or whether the bits are inverted,
Is this RS232 or 5v logic signal?Measure the voltage during the 32sec idle period to determine the polarity. That will remove one variable.
This unit sends a short data burst about every 32 seconds.
So the question is, who or what sends it?
The module has a signal strength indicator, so you can use it to detect the sender? (neighbour, TV, elektricity meter, washing machine ...?)
The 9600baud looks most promissing, but still makes little sense - is 19200 and 38k4 log also possible?
No pattern, looks mess before and after - bit-rate is wrong.

High Strung: The 25 All-Time Weirdest Guitarists
Once upon a time, the mere act of strapping on an electric guitar and cranking up an amplifier marked one as an outsider, a rebellious badass who refused to live by the laws of a "decent" society.
But today's cookie-cutter rockers and forgettable pop janglers make studying for the priesthood seem like an edgier pursuit than playing guitar in a band.
Guitar World thought it might be instructive to salute some genuine rock weirdos—25 individuals whose unique personalities and/or playing styles have been dictated not by popular trends, market research firms or knit-capped A&R guys, but by an all-consuming need to express themselves to the fullest. Some have crashed and burned, especially when LSD was involved, and you probably wouldn't want to invite most them to dinner.
But they're all colorful characters whose flying freak flags have contributed much to rock's rich tapestry.
Syd Barrett
Numerous books have been written about the late Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's original leader and rock's first serious acid casualty. His madcap antics range from the amusing (fixing Pat Boone with a murderous stare during an interview on Boone's TV show; styling his hair with Brylcreem and crushed Mandrax tablets) to the psychotic (locking a girlfriend in a bedroom for days with nothing to eat but crackers). An incredibly inventive guitarist who combined an unorthodox slide technique with various echo units to create a truly "interstellar" sound, Syd unfortunately became synonymous with "losing one's shit entirely."
Hasil Adkins
The wildest one-man band in the history of recorded music, the late Hasil Adkins cranked out warped rockabilly paeans to sex, dancing and decapitation for many decades. A manic-depressive lover man whose diet consisted entirely of meat, nicotine and endless cups of coffee, the Haze liked to scare visitors to his rural Appalachian abode with his collection of mannequin heads, and had been known to send unsolicited copies of his new records to the White House. True connoisseurs of weirdness (including the Cramps, who covered Hasil's "She Said") worshiped his every primal clang and growl.
This reclusive, robotic guitarist (whose personal brand of shred encompasses the most out-there elements of art rock, heavy metal, hip-hop and free jazz) is never seen in public without a white mask on his face or a fried-chicken bucket on his head. According to legend, the latter helps him harness the spirits of all slain and martyred chickens, without which he is powerless. Buckethead has visited Disneyland hundreds of times (He even claims to have jammed with Haunted Mansion house band) and dreams of building his own surreal theme park, Bucketheadland. For more on that, head here.
Roky Erickson
Guitarist and founding member of the world's first psychedelic band, the 13th Floor Elevators, Erickson has claimed at times to be from Mars, and his songs are filled with convincing references to aliens, demons and reincarnation. Busted for pot in 1969, he tried to beat the rap by pleading insanity. Although his habit of tripping four to five times a day might have already qualified Erickson for the nuthouse, the ensuing three-year incarceration (complete with Thorazine and shock treatments) in Texas' Rusk State Hospital for the Criminally Insane certainly didn't help. Roky recorded prolifically in the Seventies and Eighties, but he currently spends most of his time at home.
Roy Wood
The very definition of "weird beard," Wood has always cut a uniquely hirsute figure in the world of English rock. A worrying number of his songs for Sixties psych-pop legends the Move dealt with paranoia, insanity and mental anguish and allegedly resulted from the band's manager instructing Wood to "write about what you know." An inventive guitarist capable of everything from shuddering power chords to delicate classical filigrees, Wood spent much of the Seventies cranking out Phil Spector-meets-Sha-Na-Na Fifties pastiches with Wizzard, doubtless scarring countless impressionable youngsters for life with his hideous glam-clown makeup.
Ace Frehley
Like the man himself, former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley's playing remains maddeningly unpredictable—to this day, he can sound like a teenager who's just picked up his first electric — but he always injected Kiss with a jolt of electricity. Ace's coked-out 1978 self-titled solo LP perfectly encapsulates his "life is one big joke" philosophy, but it's also one of the great bonehead rock albums of all time, right up there with the first Ramones record and Foghat Live.
Glenn Ross Campbell
The visionary behind Sixties garage-psych ravers the Misunderstood, Campbell could barely play a chord on a six-string guitar. But armed with a pedal steel and a fuzz box, he produced a mind-blowing squall that sounded like the missing link between Jeff Beck's work with the Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced. Inspired by his spiritually oriented mother, Campbell and his band toyed with the vibrational effects of feedback and light, sending unsuspecting audiences in to a communal trance with the sensory overload of their powerful performances. Sadly the Vietnam War draft destroyed the band after it had waxed only a handful of tracks.
Zal Cleminson
A visual cross between the Joker of Batman fame and Ronald McDonald, Cleminson was the musical lynchpin of Scottish glam terrorists the Sensation Alex Harvey Band. Cleminson's contorted, grease-painted mug, green Lurex body stocking and synchronized dance moves invariably provoked an avalanche of catcalls and projectiles from audiences who didn't appreciate the SAHB's theatrical bent—ditto the band's "talent show" routine, wherein Cleminson recited Shakespeare while tap-dancing. But his deft fretwork and monstrously fat sound endeared him to mid-Seventies rock fans with a taste for something beyond the usual arena fodder.
Dave Davies
Slashing his speakers to create that distorted "You Really Got Me" sound, Davies has clearly been thinking outside the box from the early Kinks days onward. In the late Seventies, Davies became deeply interested in telepathy and mental visualization, and claims to have used these concepts to energize or heal concert audiences many times since then. In 1982, he was telepathically contacted by "five distinct intelligences" from another dimension, who significantly enhanced his consciousness and taught him the principles of "etheric magnetism." Davies loves to scan the skies for UFOs, and extraterrestrial elements abound on Purusha and the Spiritual Planet, the techno/dance/New Age record he recorded in 1998 with his son Russell. DD is going strong in 2016.
The mustachioed fret-mangler for Mayhem, Norway's original black metal band, Euronymous spent most of his downtime concocting explosive potions in his home laboratory, or presiding over pagan rituals and orgies in the basement of Hell, his Oslo record store. When Mayhem's lead singer blew his own brains out with a shotgun, the guitarist harvested the scattered grey matter from the suicide scene, then gleefully ate it in a stew of ham, vegetables and paprika. The accumulated bad karma finally caught up with Euronymous in 1993, when he was stabbed to death by Count Grishnackh of rival black metal purveyors Burzum.
Link Wray
An intimidating enigma in dark shades, greasy pompadour and a black leather jacket, the late Link waxed guitar instrumentals so pungently crude, one of 'em (the 1958 hit "Rumble") was even banned on numerous radio station for being "too suggestive." After losing a lung in his twenties to tuberculosis, Link let his cheap-ass guitars do most of the talking—or swearing, as the case may be. In the Fifties, he freaked out more than a few studio engineers with his primitive fuzz tone, achieved by punching holes in the speaker of his Premier amplifier.
Peter Green
The tastiest guitarist to emerge from the British blues boom of the Sixties, Peter Green was also the most troubled. Originally a brash and arrogant player, the Fleetwood Mac founder decimated his ego with numerous LSD binges and became deeply uncomfortable with is modicum of fame and fortune. He gave most of his money and belonging away to charity—and unsuccessfully tried to convince his bandmates to do the same—and took to wearing flowing robes and crucifixes. Green left the band in 1970 and was later institutionalized, where his schizophrenia was only worsened by repeated shock treatments. Although he still records and performs, the psychic scars from his ordeal remain.
Paul Leary
Ever the straight man to Gibby Haynes' psychotic jester, Leary gave up his stockbroker ambitions to wreak sonic vengeance on the world as the Butthole Surfers' lead guitarist. With his permanently dilated pupils and Rockettes-style leg kicks—and, for a brief period, a hot-pink "sideways Mohawk"—Leary would have been the resident freak in any other band, but he was typically overshadowed by Haynes' lysergic meltdowns and the Buttholes' collection of surgical-training films. Still, there was no denying the potency of Leary's bad-trip guitar grind, or his propensity for smashing and setting fire to his instruments at the beginning of a show. As he explained to Guitar World in 1991, "Why wait for the end, you know?"
Bryan Gregory
No one who saw Bryan Gregory onstage with the Cramps will forget the arresting spectacle of the stick-thin guitarist coaxing scorching feedback from a polka-dot Flying V (several years before Randy Rhoads wielded one!) while wiggling his ass and flicking lit cigarettes into the crowd. With his pockmarked skin, viciously pointy fingernails and impossibly long bleached fringe, Gregory looked like a Times Square hooker returned from the dead, thus accomplishing the impressive feat of making bandmates Lux Interior and Poison Ivy seem positively normal. Gregory allegedly left the band to join a snake-handling cult, though the Cramps have always maintained that his exit was drug related.
Wes Borland
It's one thing to put on a mask or makeup when everybody else in your band is doing it; it's another thing entirely to dress up as a randy satyr or acid-crazed monkey when the rest of your bandmates are all backward-baseball cap-wearin' slobs. In Limp Bizkit, Borland's individualism extended not just to bizarre getups and mind-bending guitar noise but also to his very public discomfort with the band's dumbed-down shtick. Wes also has channeled his ADD-fueled energy into considerably more twisted projects like Goatslayer, Big Dumb Face and Eat the Day.

Ghost shrimp eating her eggs?
Hello I am new to this forum so I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong place. I have a shrimp that I noticed 3 days ago was full with babies.( I have already had a shrimp have babies so I know what to do and when:) today I noticed she only had maybe 5 under her swimmets as I was watching she seemed to be reaching into them and pulling them out possibly eating them. My question is... Is that normal? The babies were not developed at all no eyes just pale green balls. I have searched online and can't find anything pertaining to this. So if anyone can help or has had this happen I would appreciate it. Oh and I have been monitoring my water ( like a good fish mom:) and it's perfect everything how it should be. Thank you
Welcome to the forum! The good news, what you saw probably was the shrimp using its swimmerets circulating water over the eggs, this is normal behaviour. Now for the bad news, ghost shrimp need brackish water in order for the eggs to mature into adults. There are many types of shrimp that sometimes get sold off as 'ghost shrimp', a few do ok w/o brackish water. Many times they are sold as feeder shrimp as well. Another problem with raising them is ghost shrimp go through a larval stage. Here is more info on them http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/inv/ghostshrimp.php . If you really want to raise shrimp take a look at red cherry shrimp. They are easy to keep, have a wide temperature range and breed readily in freshwater. The red cherry shrimp don't go through a larval form so once they are released from the mother, they are miniature versions of the adults.
Just thought I'd add in sometimes shrimp do drop their eggs. Many times it is due to changes in the water quality/ph, especially when moving them into a new tank.

Hello, I am also new here. I have the same situation, I have a pregnant GS and she is in a breeding box. Last night she had a lot of eggs and when I got home from work she only had a few left. Can it be she is eating her little unborn babies? :(
you both likely are witnessing either normal egg cleaning behavior or the mother shrimp assisting the larvae hatching. unfortunately
the larvae will need brackish water to develop so young shrimp appearing is highly unlikely.
It depends on the species of "ghost shrimp" you have. There are some that complete their entire life cycle in fresh water. The ones I collect here are from closed freshwater ponds.

Poster sessions are frequently used as a means to convey information in a brief format in classrooms, conferences and symposia, and workshops. Designing effective poster presentations is an art unto itself. This guide provides resources to make the process easier.
"It takes intelligence, even brilliance, to condense and focus information into a clear, simple presentation that will be read and remembered. Ignorance and arrogance are shown in a crowded, complicated, hard-to-read poster." Mary Helen Briscoe
Posters provide a mechanism to facilitate the rapid communication of ideas. The poster presentation is NOT the pasting of a scholarly article on poster board or foam-core and standing by to defend the results reproduced in miniature on the "poster." However, it is far too often that one attends a conference poster session and finds this format to dominate the method of poster presentations.
The poster presentation should represent a "...well-designed, eye-catching, and engaging... display of research or scientific information." The poster should convey the results of scholarly activities as to promote the achievements of the poster's presenter.
Included below are a collection of guidelines and tips for preparing and delivering your poster presentation during Student Scholars Day. It is crucial that these guidelines are followed closely to avoid any problems on the day of the event.
Before the day of the event, it is crucial that you check assigned location and time of presentation. If you have a 9 AM presentation, you may begin arriving at 8 AM to allow for set-up time.
You can access current presenter information from the Event Day Information page.
You should adhere to the following guidelines:
There are several different ways to prepare a poster presentation. Each academic discipline will have its own set of standards that you should follow. Contact your faculty mentor to ensure that you are following the correct format.
Check out this PowerPoint Presentation from the Fred Meijer Center for Writing & Michigan Authors for more tips.
These tips are for using the plotter. The plotter is located in the Mary Idema Pew Library. The cost to use the plotter is $25.00 which covers the cost of one print. This cost must be paid by each presenter or faculty mentor (or the department). If you are paying out of pocket you need to pay at the cashier in Student Services. The IT Helpdesk will no longer take IDCs for payment. Please notify your department to contact the IT Helpdesk if they are covering your cost. The plotter will be available any time the Help Desk is staffed (which should be all hours the Library is open).
You may also be interested in the Digital Print Shop at GVSU.
Each academic discipline has its own standards and expectations for poster design. Be sure to contact your faculty mentor about the expected design and format for your particular discipline.
There are many places around campus where representative posters are displayed. Consult the following locations for examples:
On the day of the event you will need to arrive early and get your poster displayed. All posters must be in place by 8:45 AM. You will be provided with either easels, backboards, and clips, or tacks and/or Velcro strips to hang your poster (depending upon location). Several SSD Committee members and volunteers will be on hand if you need any assistance in locating your poster location or obtaining clips/tacks. You should also make arrangements to have your poster removed beginning at 5:00 PM. You will need to be available to discuss your poster during the one hour time block you were assigned when you registered. Be sure to double check this time prior to the day of the event. During this hour you will discuss your poster with participants and answer any questions that the viewers may have regarding your project. Consider the following tips for this presentation:
Much of this guide was created by Fred Stoss at University of Buffalo. More information including poster instructions, layouts, and examples can be found at http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/asl/guides/bio/posters.html.

To me, he definitely fits our scheme....which he played in college. Wake NEEDS to play against the left tackle more. I realize he has an easier task against right tackles, but QBs can see him coming and being on that side wears you down in the run game.

Putting Thoughts Together
Something that I have said a number of times is that nowadays, there is almost no reason to pick C over C++ for a new project (one of the few reasons that I know of involve writing execute-in-place code for very small embedded systems, so no, GNOME definitely doesn't qualify!). Worst case, you write exactly the same code you'd have written in C, just avoiding using the new keywords as identifiers, and you then get better warnings (remember, no templates would be involved) and stricter type checking (no more silent casting of void* to pointers to random things! No more setting enums from any random integral junk you happen to have at hand! No more forgetting a header and using a function with the wrong parameters!).
But these slides really put it together, from someone who's generally thought of as neither insane or dumb. Doesn't really have much to do with GCC in particular, other than just the general fact that this is becoming so obvious that even GCC might be making the switch...
Edit: This article by Amit Patel is also pretty good on this subject.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
I'm a bit saddened by the realization that like Ed I used to spend seasons proving things out. Now I get tourist-like sorties in spring and/or fall and that's it! Luckily, I've had luck when I visit but there's nothing like a the four seasons of steelheading to burn subtle realities into the mental logbook.
Thanks to guy like you I will keep the pilot light burning until such time that I can continue my 'research' in earnest.
see you on the river,
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
from what I've read Ed's vest is even more impressive than his fly box. Rumor has it he'll fish a theory for much of a season if successful then he stores it away in his pockets. Makes for a 30lb vest and all the gear you could ever want.
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
I will be elated to be looking in Ed's flybox, standing in glacial water in the shadows of the north cascades mountains, electrified with the prospect of giant mercuric trout coming to my fly.
When considering the things we anglers get to experience and appreciate, it's no wonder there's so much camaraderie in the sport.
See ya soon!
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
I know Dec Hogan's made a lot of comments to this effect in recent years (publications). The upshot is that, while you can catch a steelhead on almost any hunk of foam or yarn, the Steelhead gives it his/her all in the fight and you should too -at the vice. He's also a big proponent of creative personal expression and innovation in his tying.
Juro - check out Ed's flies when you get the chance ('specially the Intruder). I hear a lot of the ideas Dec Hogan incorporates in his flies come from Ed! I'm sure you're tyin like crazy right now, and doing the Spey Shuffle in the halls! Only 1 more week and you'll be out here swinging those flies through familiar runs!
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
Hey Bill -
I also frequently heard the lore of Syd Glasso laying each fly that caught a steelhead on the riverbank when he kept a fish. His legacy is pretty cool - a Forks Elementary School Principal who did snail mail flyswaps with Col. Bates in the UK (see the Bates book for color plates) and other renoun classic tyers of his day, pioneered the resurgence of Spey flies in the Northwest through his own designs, and gave a logging town the notoriety it has as a historic place where 'worthy' flies and wild steelhead meet.
Can't wait to stomp those river banks again!
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
I wish i could tell you where i read this, as i'd like to credit the author. I can't even quote him very accurately, but his point was that what they might hit isn't important as what they deserve - an honest effort to tie something worthy of them.
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
Meant to get three prawn flies in over the weekend (scanned and recipe'd)... but due to the fly show and the rod test, couldn't find my wheatley in the alloted time. Pretty bad state of affairs when a self-proclaimed steelhead junkie can't find his flybox in mid-March... I think I'm getting depressed.
Wives and Son's innovative ties
Hey Sinktip,
Bet you'll be a proud daddy when you're able to catch a fish with one of your son's ties (that is if he doesn't beat you to it<g>
Scott ODonnell, a Skagit river guide, once bragged to me that he'd taken a 20lb native from the Mixer just after we'd floated past him and his client on a cold April day a couple years ago. Caught it on a fly his wife had tied - "One of the butt-ugliest things you've ever seen on a hook!" as he put it.
He'd been showing her how to tie and had made the mistake of complimenting her first attempt.
She replied, "But you wouldn't fish it . . . WOULD YOU?????"
Backed into the proverbial corner, he boldly stated "Of course I would - in fact, it'll be the first fly I fish today!"
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
Just as an aside to both your comments - I agree with both, that mostly steelhead (especially winter) will take any hunk of stuff floating downriver if they're in the mood (assuming ideal presentation) and yet there is a *big* gap between the number of takers and the number of steelhead that actually see your fly. And I've heard enough stories to prove to me that, yes, there are also times when steelhead discriminate between what flies they'll hit and the rest they ignore.
As much as anything else, if I have confidence in a fly (or excitement about trying out a new promising pattern) I stay much more involved in it's journey downstream. I also find that flies I tie to imitate something ~natural~ are much more exciting for me to fish - maybe that's just a carry-over from my trout flyfishing roots?
Anyway . . . an informal Skagit clave is planned for mid March and I'll plan to get macro shots of a couple of Tyler's creations (I especially want a shot of The Chest Beast) if he's agreeable, as well as a pic of my own new tie.
Juro - this is actually much closer to your own prawn than it is to the Sauk River Shrimp. Tie in a tail of pinkish white maribou with 2 strands of bright orange (saltwater) krystal flash, then three segments of (1) pearlescent pink diamond braid (2) a thin clump of white yarn to provide a translucent cover for the braid and (3) 2 wraps of salmon pink hackle.
It looks frighteningly lifelike in the water - like it wants to crawl right up your boot!
Hope to post a trip report soon with one of them babies hanging out of a big chrome spring native's mouth!
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
"It is good to remember there will be a lot more steelehead caught on a piece of yarn than on all the fancies flies ever fished." -- Roderick Haig-Brown
As much as I hate to believe this, it is probably sadly true. But since I see no satisfaction in spending my non-fishing moments simply lashing yarn to a hook, I will keep tieing, tinkering and searching for that pattern that will prove irresistable to the wiley steelhead. And even if I never find it, I will settle for one or two that makes me confident that a fish will take it. After all, isn't that half the battle? Besides, my three year old son has recently taken up tieing with his dad and that is too cool. It does make for some interesting patterns though
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
Can't deny what you point out... although I love to romanticize. Maybe it's because for every time the chrome one makes a wake across the pool to hit my fly, a thousand have not so much as swiveled their eye at my very best offerings. Somewhere in the void between those two extremes is the impetus for today's steelhead fly culture, a more practical rennaisance of the gaudy salmon days of old. As a recent evacuation victim from the PNW, I now know that the magic behind steely fly experimentation is having a stream to swing them on. Thank heavens for the internet, the streams feel almost within reach!
Enough waxing, I'll put up a recipe and a scan of my prawn this weekend (for what it's worth!) Here's one in the jaw of a Snoqualmie chromer...
Well, you can't see the fly but you can see the pink tone of the Scintilla dubbing.
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
I do love to tinker, scheme and plan so as to entice the wily steelhead. However, in the back of my mind I have this nagging feeling that a hunk of yarn knotted to a bait hook would probably be just as acceptable to a steelhead in the mood to take. That said, I know I will continue to search for the killer pattern - 'cause once I catch that lightening in a bottle I will positively SLAY them! Tight lines-tyler.
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
Tyler and Brian -
Cool how the insight of the steelheader can be seen in the patterns he ties and invents, as well as his approach to finding and mining the intricacies of a river's holding water. As I read these insightful designs and recall Brian's patterns, my thoughts run through my own patterns then end up in the mystery of the steelhead's mind and the triggers that are embedded deep in it's psyche, perhaps from a caddis hatch during smolthood or a feast of krill on the open Aleutian seas, but thankfully for us - there for the lucky and able to trigger with a good fly and a smart presentation.
I'd love to see some of these patterns scanned!
RE:Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
Brother Brian,
You know how I feel about my G.P.'s. There are virtually 3 patterns in my fly box - Black Marabou G.P.'s, Purple/Black Marabou G.P.'s and Orange G.P.'s. You have seen my Pecarry version of the Marabou G.P., but until recently my Orange G.P.'s were the Sean's Prawn version. I'm now working on a marabou version of mixed marabou in orange and red - its looking good. I much prefer the apparent bulk and action of marabou in the water over the standard tie. I also use Wooley Bugger Marabou to tie these flies - its cheaper and has plenty of length for the relatively short wings.
I also believe in tinkering with, and combining patterns and styles. Another recent variation borrows from your "Rat" and my subsequent "Chest Beast". It is in essence the zonker strip rat-tail with a Marabou G.P. style wing and body. This is a scary looking fly with a great silhouette and movement - I think it will, in the black/purple version be my "first light" fly of choice on the Thompson next fall - not to mention a good call on the Skagit this spring!
Tight lines - tyler
Prawn and Shrimp imitations??
Hey . . I'm curious. I've had a chance to look in our esteemed host's fly box a couple times and have noticed that he ties an especially innovative shrimp pattern (Sinktip - I sure one of these will be included in your dozen <g>.
Now to my question - do you fish 'em? Do you tie your own variations or stick to the standard patterns (General Practitioner, Squamish Poacher, Sauk River Shrimp, etc)?
I'm just curious, as I really like my black mariobou GPs (major confidence fly) and am currently experimenting with my own version of the Sauk River Shrimp with white yarn, salmon hackle, pink/white diamond braid.
Good Fishing!

Follow the Matriarchs, heroines and prophetesses of the Bible and the New Testament in this special tour of Israel
From the Mediterranean to the Sea of Galilee: women in their public and private lives
Caesarea – the showcase Roman port built by Herod the Great, figuring centrally in both Jewish and Christian history. In addition to touring the theater, amphitheater, Crusader walls and other highlights Caesarea, as the home of the four daughters of Philip (Acts 21:8-9), is an excellent place to explore the role of women in public life in the early church. Visit the Hannah Senesch Museum at adjacent Sdot Yam to hear the moving story of a modern-day heroine.
Mount Tabor – to this mountain, the "high mount" of Transfiguration (Mark 9: 2-9), the judge Deborah called Barak to fight the Canaanites (Judges 4:4-16). With the ancient ruins and beautiful views as inspiration, find out who Deborah really was.
Sepphoris – traditional birthplace of Mary, Sepphoris was built by Herod Antipas. Joanna, the wife of Cuza, Herod's steward (Luke 8:3), who might have lived here, was among Jesus' early supporters. Visit the restored theater, the "Mona Lisa of Galilee" mosaic, the Nile House and the Cardo. Another highlight is the sixth-century synagogue that tells a story of redemption and reveals an unusual representation of Sarah.
Nazareth – most of the monuments in Nazareth, the town where Jesus grew up, are devoted to Mary, this is where the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38) took place. Highlights include the Church of St. Gabriel, built over the spring where Mary no doubt drew water for her family, and the magnificent Basilica of the Annunciation. At the reconstructed Nazareth Village, learn about the daily life of women in Jesus' day and take part in a weaving workshop.
Cana – the scene of Jesus' first miracle, the changing of water into wine at a wedding (John 2:1-11), in which Mary's played a role with great theological implications.

The event is free and open to the public.
The C3 program partners Binghamton University with over 25 community agencies and organizations in a neighborhood revitalization program, targeting residents in a high priority section of the city of Binghamton, which incorporates District 7 and the southern two-thirds of District 9.
Initiated through the University's School of Education and Human Development, C3 coordinates efforts to help the residents of the area improve their overall quality of life.
Binghamton University students, faculty and staff from a wide variety of departments and disciplines assist the program through internships, mentoring and tutoring services, service learning projects and volunteer opportunities. The center also features an information area and staff to help area residents explore community services and resources available to them.
Although the open house will not feature a formal program, guests will be able to tour the facility and meet participants and partners who will be on hand to talk about the projects in which C3 is involved. Displays will provide visual representation of the projects and guests are invited to walk through and talk with representatives.

Here's the
thing: I'm kind of a secret, Grade-A hermit. Not a hermit in a traditional sense
of course, but more of a lounging afficianado. I do booze around and let my

where, if you were to hold up my favorite pair of sweats and a free press dinner
side-by-side, for one embarassing and shameful minute I will actually consider

- Description
Biscayne Bay View from the 30th Floor of the Marriott Hotel on Bayshore Drive. Thanks to the exceptional courtesy of Suzanne.
At the center of the picture is the Venetian Causeway crossing Biscayne Bay between Miami, at N.E. 15th Street on the mainland and 17th Street on Miami Beach. This bridge built in 1925, follows the original route of the Collins Bridge, a wooden 2.5 mi (4 km) long structure built in 1913 by John S. Collins and Carl G. Fisher which opened up the barrier island for unprecedented growth and development.
To the right is the MacArthur Causeway Bridge (I-395) over to Watson Island. The MacArthur Causeway continues on connecting to Palm Island, Hibiscus Island, Star Island and on to Miami Beach at 5th Street.
To the right of the MacArthur Causeway Government Cut, a deep waterway, and Dodge Island, home of the many Cruise Ships and huge Container Ships that operate in and out of Miami.
On the far left of the picture is one of the bridges of the Julia Tuttel Causeway (I-195) connecting N.E. 36th Street in Miami with 41st Street on Miami Beach.
The endless row of highrise buildings in the background are the hotels and condos along Collins Avenue, Miami Beach.
This gigapan was photographed with a Nikon D-800 Camera using a Nikon 28-300mm lens set to 300mm, mounted on a Gigapan Epic-Pro. My settings were F:11, Shutter Speed @ 1/500 sec. & ISO 200.

text: Hi folks Im new to the forum. I have a 10 month old black lab female named "Otter" form Duckhill Kennels. She is an absolute pleasure to train and hunt with. I had a yellow lab female "Bella" before her but she passed last year from cancer at the age of 10. She was a great dog and member of the family but I never put the time into training her that I should have. I am a novice trainer at best and Im sure I made plenty of mistakes in this video. That being said Im constantly trying to learn. Iv been using the dvd's "Water Dog, and Duck Dog Basics 1 and 2" along with books "Retriever Training a back to basics approach" and "the 10 Minute Retriever", been finding some great stuff on here as well!! I plan on running some hunt tests with her this summer, I think it will be a great way to meet new retriever enthusiast and keep the training goin over the summer!! anyhow here is a link to the video, thanks for watching!
