JT, it seems that all of the FE Optimus, or at least the ones BBTS received, have a panel under the side windows that was not painted red. Makes the alt mode look not very good at all so I guess I'll keep the mainline TFP Voyager Prime in truck mode. The FE bot mode is excellent though.
I haven't played around with FE Bulkhead as much but he doesn't seem like the vastly superior upgrade to the other Voyager Bulkhead that others claim him to be. There's still gaps from the side in bot mode.
Anyhow, I ordered MP Prime from TRU.com yesterday...however, the card I used got hacked with 2 unauthorized charges yesterday and with my lack of luck, I fear my order may not go through.
Got FE Starscream yesterday at TRU. A pretty nice figure, looks way better than the Voyager release, articulation is very expressive, and paint is pretty good. Vehicle mode takes a hit with
The front of RID Bulkhead is so far off the mark that the FE looked like it couldn't avoid being superior, so I'm quite surprised to hear it.
Sorry to hear about your card being hacked, that sucks!

All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
What I should have said is that FE Bulkhead > the other Voyager Bulkhead but still isn't perfect. And despite the unprinted panels, I do recommend FE Optimus, even if you only keep him in bot mode. To me he has more character than just about every recent Optimus Prime mold.
I didn't mean this should even be a full line, just one or a few high-end pieces. Not just repaints like the Comic-Con stuff. It'd have to be expensive but, aside from the Masterpiece reissues, they don't put out much, if any, higher end collector-geared stuff. Even the things like the PIT or Unicron or the BMF Falcon are technically just really large toys for kids that happen to be nicely done.
G2 Megatron with Cobra Commander and Dr. Biggles-Jones. I'm serious. (Yes, I know she's insanely minor, but she actually built that G2 body in the comic, and it would be a cool way to release a character who otherwise would never be produced.)
That's my jacket!

BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I got Prime Ultra Magnus and Thundertron off of Amazon and they arrived today. Magnus is perfectly OK, although his shoulders could be better articulation wise. Although they are ball-joints they are limited. His hammer is the first "mech tech" weapon from this line that is not complete junk. It actually resembles a gun in one mode and makes a suitable hammer in the other. It has a tab that locks the thing into hammer mode which is VERY much appreciated. Magnus doesn't quite reach the level of the FE voyagers, but he is a pretty decent one. Thundertron I like quite a bit. He is surprisingly stable using the peg leg. The peg leg makes no sense in some respects though since the beast mode has the foot pegged on.. so why does he need the peg leg?? Still it's neat, and it works pretty well. The removable foot as a claw weapon is pretty meh though. I removed the spring from the claw/sword mech tech weapon which allows the sword to be extended without springing back. It's actually pretty good like this. I may eventually look into removing the battery box so it is not quite so bulky. Two decent mech tech like weapon in a row?? *gasp* I like how the claws that rest over his shoulders peg in to the back and do not interfere with the arm articulation. Bot mod articulation is pretty good in general. One quibble I have is that the sliders the hips are on to go from beast to bot mod doesn't seem to lock in in bot mode so they tend to separate while I messed with him. Beast mode is pretty limited in pose-ability due to the way the robot arms and beast mode arms interact. Beast mode looks OK as a whole, but could certainly benefit from more articulation. Thundertron is a bit above Ultra Magnus in my book, possibly pretty close to the FE voyagers in robot mode.

Confined Masonry Network is a network of experts from various countries who are committed to:
- Improving the design and construction quality of confined masonry in areas where it is currently used;
- Introducing confined masonry construction in regions where it can reduce seismic risks.
An alternative construction technology, using the same construction materials, is 'Confined Masonry' construction. Confined masonry is a construction system where the masonry walls are built first, and the concrete columns and beams are poured in afterwards to enclose (confine) the wall. It has typically performed well in past earthquakes worldwide, when built according to code requirements. Its satisfactory earthquake performance is due to the joint action of masonry walls and their confining elements.
In 1996, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency joined with several non-profit and government organizations to form the Smart Growth Network (SGN). The Network was formed in response to increasing community concerns about the need for new ways to grow that boost the economy, protect the environment, and enhance community vitality. The Network's partners include environmental groups, historic preservation organizations, professional organizations, developers, real estate interests; local and state government entities.
The SGN works to encourage development that serves the economy, community and the environment. It is a forum for:
* Raising public awareness of how growth can improve community quality of life;
* Promoting smart growth best practices;
* Developing and sharing information, innovative policies, tools and ideas;
* Cultivating strategies to address barriers to and advance opportunities for smart growth.

Knoll is Modern Always because modern always works. Founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll, today Knoll is recognized internationally for creating workplace and residential furnishings that inspire, evolve, and endure. Knoll's portfolio of designs feature works from pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia, and Richard Schultz. Along with their classic designs Knoll strives to work with the best designers of today including Antenna Design, Formway Design, Don Chadwick, David Adjaye, and Rem Koolhaas.
With an incredible roster of products like the Womb Chair and Barcelona Chair, Knoll continues to remain true to the Bauhaus design philosophy it was founded on, that modern furniture should complement architectural space, not compete with it. Whether you're searching for one of their iconic modern designs or looking to update your workspace, Knoll has an array of products, which combine a Modernist aesthetic with residential appeal.
Richard Schultz joined Knoll Associates in 1951 to work with Harry Bertoia, after studying at Iowa State University and the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Schultz's work with Knoll took a serendipitous turn when Florence Knoll asked him to design durable, attractive outdoor furniture for her Florida home. The result was the "Leisure Collection" (now sold as the "1966 Collection") which became an instant classic. In addition to his work for Knoll, he designed an office system for Stow/Davis. He also taught basic design at the Philadelphia College of Art and had a one-man show of his sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
In 1992, Richard Schultz began his own furniture manufacturing and design company, where he and his son, Peter, have built an impressive line of outdoor furniture collections including Topiary, Swell, and Mateo. In 2012, Knoll and Richard Schultz reunited to distribute these widely acclaimed and sought after collections to the residential market.View other products by Richard Schultz

Steamboat Springs If making a huge holiday meal isn't on your to-do list today, let the Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors do all the work.
The Board of Realtors' annual Community Christmas Dinner is from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Steamboat Springs Community Center. The dinner brings together about 400 people every year for a warm Christmas meal, live entertainment and holiday gifts for children.
"We do this every year as a way to give back to the community," said Colleen de Jong, the Community Christmas Dinner committee chairwoman and a local Realtor. "It's one of our flagship events of the year."
De Jong said the event typically draws a cross-section of the community, including full-time Steamboat residents, out-of-town visitors and college students.
"We tend to get the senior citizens, then the young families and all the (Steamboat) Ski & Resort Corp. employees who might not have their families in town or don't want to cook a huge meal," she said. "We encourage everyone to come."
Today's menu will include typical holiday favorites such as mashed potatoes, vegetables, desserts and roasted turkey. In addition to the real estate community, several businesses have donated food items and volunteers for the dinner.
"One of my favorite things about this event is how many people it takes to put it together," she said. "We have someone who brings the turkey, someone who sets it up and someone to eat it. It's perfect."
While people enjoy their free meal, several local musicians will provide live entertainment. This year's list of entertainers includes the Yampa Valley Boys, the Concordia Lutheran Church choir and pianist Paul Potyen. Each act will play for 45 minutes.

Pap Tests & HPV Tests at a Glance
- Two tests that can find signs that cervical cancer may develop
- Early detection helps save lives
Pap tests and HPV tests are kinds of cervical cancer screening. Women get routine screening to help them avoid getting cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is the second-most common type of cancer among women worldwide. Cervical cancer is caused by a common sexually transmitted infection, human papilloma virus (HPV).
About one in four women will get the types of HPV that are related to cervical cancer in her lifetime. But, today, only one out of 1,000 women who contracts cancer-related HPV will develop full-blown cervical cancer. This is because many women know how to prevent cervical cancer by having regular Pap tests, regularly using condoms, and, when appropriate, getting HPV tests.
If you have questions about your risks for cervical cancer, what you can do to prevent cervical cancer, and whether you should get a Pap test or HPV test, we have answers.

Why Do I Need Cervical Cancer Screening?
Cervical cancer screening can detect cell changes in the cervix before cancer even develops. The changes can be treated and cancer can be prevented. That is why cervical cancer screening is so important.
Cervical cancer is caused by certain, high-risk types of HPV. HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. Most HPV infections are harmless and go away on their own. But certain high-risk types of genital HPV can be persistent and cause long-term infections that can lead to cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is a serious concern for women. Worldwide, cervical cancer alone strikes half a million women and claims 270,000 lives each year. Far fewer women in the United States get cervical cancer than in other parts of the world because they are more likely to get Pap and HPV tests. An estimated 11,150 cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed in the U.S in 2007. And about 4,000 American women died of the disease.
It is not fully known why some people develop long-term HPV infection, precancerous cell changes, or cancer. High-risk types of HPV do not cause symptoms in women or men. Most people feel fine even when they have cell changes caused by HPV. That's why regular testing is recommended.
What Is a Pap Test?
A Pap test can find pre-cancerous cell changes of the cervix. Sometimes a Pap test is called a Pap smear.
Pap tests are usually part of a regular pelvic exam. During a Pap test, your health care provider inserts a metal or plastic speculum into your vagina. The speculum is opened to separate the walls of the vagina so that the cervix can be seen. The health care provider then uses a small sampler — a spatula or tiny brush — to gently collect cells from the cervix. The cells are sent to the laboratory to be tested.
A Pap test does not detect HPV itself. A laboratory technician uses a microscope to look at a sample of cervical cells for signs of abnormal cell changes that may be caused by HPV. These cell changes may lead to cervical cancer if left untreated.
Who Should Get Pap Tests?
Leading women's health authorities recommend that women start getting routine Pap tests at age 21.
Pap tests can happen about every three years. Some women may need them more frequently — your health care provider can tell you how often you should have them.
Women should continue to have Pap tests until about age 65 — or sometimes later, if they have a recent history of abnormal Pap tests.
What Is an HPV Test?
The HPV test detects the high-risk kinds of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer. The test process is the same as it is for a Pap test — cell samples are taken from the cervix and sent to a lab for analysis.
Pap and HPV Tests — the Differences
How It Works
Pap Test
abnormal cell changes
A lab professional looks at a sample of cervical cells through a microscope.
HPV Test
the virus that causes the abnormal cell changes
A computerized system checks a sample of cervical cells for HPV.
Who Should Get HPV Tests?
Health care providers may recommend the HPV test
- for women as a follow-up to a Pap test that finds abnormal cells or when Pap test results are not clear
- for women over 30 when they have a Pap test
HPV testing is not recommended for all women because HPV is very common and usually goes away without causing any health problems.
For women age 30 or older, a test for HPV can be done at the same time as a Pap test. If both results are normal, a woman has a very low risk of developing cervical cancer. She will not need a Pap or HPV test for up to five years.
What Happens If I Have an Abnormal Pap Test Result?
Many women have abnormal Pap test results. Most often, abnormal Pap test results do not mean that you have cervical cancer.
Your health care provider's recommendation will depend on if you only had a Pap test or if you had a Pap test with an HPV test.
If you have an unclear or abnormal Pap test result, you may be advised to repeat the Pap test, have an HPV test, and/or have other tests like a colposcopy — a procedure that lets your health care provider look more closely at your cervix.
Pap Test Result
HPV Test Result
What the Results Mean
No high-risk HPV was found.
You are not currently at risk for cervical cancer. You should have your next Pap and HPV test in five years.
High-risk HPV was found.
If HPV type 16 or 18 is found, you should have a colposcopy. If HPV type 16 or 18 is not found, you should have another Pap and HPV test in 12 months.
Slightly Abnormal
No high-risk HPV was found.
There is likely nothing to worry about, but you should repeat the Pap test in 12 months to be sure.
Slightly Abnormal
High-risk HPV was found.
You should have a colposcopy.
No high-risk HPV was found.
You should have a colposcopy.
High-risk HPV was found.
You should have a colposcopy.
If your provider finds abnormal cells during a colposcopy, you will likely need treatment. Common treatments include cryotherapy and LEEP.
What Can I Do to Prevent Cervical Cancer?
You can reduce your risk of cervical cancer by getting regular cervical cancer screenings, using condoms correctly and consistently, and talking with your health care provider to find out if you should get the HPV vaccine.
Condoms help reduce the spread of HPV by preventing some (but not all) skin-to-skin contact during sex play. In addition, studies show that consistent condom use can help keep HPV infections from becoming long-term infections. Remember that it's only certain long-term HPV infections that are linked to cancer.
If you smoke, stop. Smoking increases the chance of getting cervical cancer in women with high-risk HPV types.
Ask Questions!
Knowledge is an important part of keeping yourself healthy. Talk with your health care provider about your risk of cervical cancer. If you have questions about cervical cancer, HPV, or any other sexual health issue, write them down before your appointment. If you are nervous about asking questions, practice asking them with a friend or a family member.
Remember to ask your health care provider when you can expect HPV or Pap test results. You can request that you be called when the results are in. You can also give your health care provider a self-addressed, stamped envelope so that the results can be mailed to you.
Where Can I Get More Information About HPV and Cervical Cancer?
Staff at your local Planned Parenthood health center, many other clinics, health departments, and private health care providers can give you a Pap test and/or an HPV test, and help you get any treatment you may need, including the HPV vaccine.
Many other resources are also available on the Web:
American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology
National Cervical Cancer Coalition

Designer Tidbits: Aneela Hoey
The Fat Quarter Shop is excited to welcome the darling Aneela Hoey to the Jolly Jabber. Aneela's latest fabric collection is A Walk in the Woods from Moda Fabrics.
Q: What was the first seed that grew into the A Walk in the Woods collection?
A: For an online swap a couple of years ago, I made an embroidery of Little Red Riding Hood and she was the original starting point for this collection.
For another online swap I also made a Little Red Riding Hood appliqué for a sewing machine cover - that is where the image of little red talking to the blue bird sitting in the tree originated. So, I guess you could say a couple of online swaps a few years back kick-started this collection (even though I didn't know it at the time).
Q: If your collection had a soundtrack what would be on the list?
A: The soundtrack would certainly have Ruby by The Kaiser Chiefs on it.
Q: What single print/SKU in the collection is your favorite?
A: Definitely Little Miss Red herself. I love how the print turned out in the end but it was such a lot of work sketching this up in Illustrator - designing really is a labour of love.
Q: What is your favorite project you have made using this collection?
A: My Crackle Quilt (I say "my" quilt but it is now under the ownership of my eldest daughter).
Q: If this collection had a scent to it, what would it be?
A: Lily Of The Valley - sweetly enchanting and from the woods.
Q: Can you give us a sneak-peek of your next fabric collection?
A: My next line is called Cherry Christmas. It will be out in July.
Q: If you had a mascot, what animal would it be?
A: I think it would have to be a chicken. There is something so homey about a chicken.
Q: Who is your favorite celebrity?
A: Helena Bonham Carter
Q: If we were making a movie about your life, who would you want to play you?
A: Catherine Tate
Q: Who is your favorite fabric designer not including yourself?
A: Right now I am loving Lizzy House.

Angel Fish Not Eating
Hello. I recently purchased two veil tail Angel Fish and two regular Angel Fish. They are approx. two inches in size. I am quite taken with them! Each one is colored differently... some with stripes, some with spots. They seem to be enjoying swimming around in my tank.
However, they are not eating the TetraMin Color Enhancing Flake Food I place in the tank. They swim up to it, they swim by it, they look like they are going to eat it (they investigate) but then they pass it up. It has been 3 days and they refuse to eat the flakes.
Can you recommend something else? Perhaps they need a different food? I'd hate to lose them!
Also, I heard that Angel Fish can be quite territorial. But these 4 Angel Fish will not leave each other. It almost looks like they are schooling. Is it because they are juveniles?
Thank you for your time.

How recently purchased? What were you feeding these fish before? Who are the other occupants of the tank? How big is the tank? What are you water parameters?
is your tank cycled?
What size is the tank?
so to clarify you have 4 total angel fish?
What are the other fish in the tank?

I recently posted this in the Planted Aquarium Forum, but I think the info can apply here as well:
Thanks for replies!
Okay. I think I have a 30 U.S. gallon freshwater tank. I am using an AQUA-Tech 20/40 power filter with carbon filter
media and a "bio pad" to house beneficial bacteria. I have a heater that keeps the water temp around 74-76 degrees
Fahrenheit. The aquarium has been set up for about two months now and I initially used "Start-Zyme" to add a good colony
of bacteria.
The substrate is Seachem flourite clay mixture and I have about 2-3 inches depth - more graded toward the back of the tank.
I have an incandescant hood and I originally used these plant grow bulbs that I purchased at Walmart. However, I recently
switched over to Zoo Med 6500K/10 Watt/5" Super Daylight Mini Compact flourescents and immediately noticed the tank is much
brighter and the color of the fish look better. I leave the two lights on from 8 AM to 6 PM.
I have Java Fern Plants attached to cocunut husks that I placed in the tank but didn't bury in the substrate. I had 3
Sword Plant varieties that I did plant the roots in the substrate. I also had 3 other varieties of ferns that I also
planted in the substrate. The directions said to gently wash the gel mixture off the roots and plant in the gravel. The
planted ferns and planted swords were dying and turning to mush - the best way I can describe it - they just disintegrated
and decomposed. I have since added more plants to the tank, fingers crossed.
In the tank I have 4 small Angel Fish (two are veil tails), 3 Cory Catfish (albino, pepper, sterbai), and one Butterfly
I bought a 5-N-1 Test Strip Kit and the results are as follows (bear in mind that I'm color blind - difficulty in
recognizing some colors - so I'm giving you my best determination):
Nitrate: close to zero
Nitrite: between zero and .5
Total Hardness: 75, soft
Total Alkalinity: zero, low
pH: between 6.2 and 6.8, leaning towards 6.8
I hope this helps. :-)
Also, today I purchased something called Mysis Shrimp from the frozen foods section at Petco. I defrosted a cube in some warm water and placed it in the feeding ring in my tank. The shrimp slowly sank to the bottom and the Angel Fish ate some but spit it out. The Cory cats, however, had a ball devouring them as the shrimp sank to the gravel.
We should merge these threads as they are about to combine....
but what needs to be addressed are the following:
tank is not cycled
and you are overstocked and stocked with the wrong fish.
your angel fish isn't eating because of both:
the un cycled tank is causing stress
that many angels in a 30gallon causes stress and pending death.
the minimum for 2 angels that are PAIRED is a 55gallon.
you have 4 in a tank half that size, so those two issues are reason why he's not eating.
you really need to get the api master test kit and have a friend read the colors to you.
1: its cheaper than test strips
2: its far far far far more accurate.
+ to missoutank. He's absolutely right. you need the API liquid test for accuracy and you're over stocked and your tank is not cycled.
In the meantime, if you can't take the fish back right away or rehome them, then you need to get the ammonia and nitrites both down to .25 before you lose these fish
Do an immediate 50% water change. Make sure you treat your water with a good conditioner - Prime would be the best. Any time ammonia and or nitrites approach .50 do another 50% W/C - which could be daily or every few days but you will only know if you test each morning with your API test kit.
Again - best solution is to rehome or return the angels and keep up the water changes with the rest of the fish until you get the tank cycled.
As for feeding them with frozen food defrosted in water - always use tank water. Tap water will contain chlorine and could be harmful.
And by the way - it's a nice looking tank and I understand why you'd think the angels would be fine in it but, 1 adult angel is the max size for a 30 gallon and that's pushing it. Also, they will most likely start fighting soon and one or more may end up injured or dead. Sorry. that's just the way it goes with angels.
Good luck and let us know what happens.

Okay. I did a water change. I'm going to transport the Angels back to the pet store tomorrow. Hopefully, they will take them back as donations (I'm not looking for $ - only that they get a better home... I'm sorry to see them go.). I was told by the young salesperson that they would do fine in my tank. Oh well.
Hey, can you guys help me out in getting a larger tank? What I mean is, can you recommend a size, filter, heater, etc. so I can get it down right this time? I have some money saved up. I thought that with a 30 gal I'd have all this room! I believe I have the room/budget for a 55 gal but I'm at a loss as what to get to set it up properly.
As for a 55, you have a lot of options there and it's all going to depend on what kind of fish you like and if they are compatible. If I were you, I'd start a new thread in the beginners section, post it as :need stocking/filtration help for 55 gal fresh water. First, I'd do a little reading - there are a ton of fish profiles here on the forum to get you started. In the meantime, you could go ahead and get your tank set up and start a fishless cycle (see stickies in beginners section) and by the time the tank is cycled in about 4 weeks, you will have a pretty fair idea of what you want to put in it. Also look through the fish compatibility threads ... I combed that section when I was planning my 90 gallon tank. You'll get a lot of ideas and help here. We all love planning tanks :o)

The problem with the fish not eating was a protozoan infection. If the feces were examined they were most likely stringy and clear. To cure a protozoan infection one would need to elevate the temperature to 90F for 6 days. If the fish were to eat a flake containing metronidazole would have been used. As it is these fish are now doomed. The store will not know that they were subjected to this situation.

I thought I was doing the right thing by bringing the 4 Angel fish back to the store where I had purchased them. I only had them for 2 days and was not aware of a said protozoan infection. Perhaps they already had it. Or perhaps, you are mistaken. It is so easy, taking in to account the anonymity of the Internet, to provide an answer that is both hurtful and a declaration of "look at a what a big brain I have."
But I have other pressing problems. The Butterfly Pleco I purchased will outgrow my tank. I was not told this by the retailer. Also, I have flourite substrate, which can be sharp and jagged, and now I find that my 3 cory's need smooth substrate. Also, also I was told that having 3 cory's together is good - but wasn't told that they all have to be the same type.
I wish I had found this website sooner. Apparently, fish retailers value profit over doing the right thing. I just want to get my fish to a good home and feel terrible about the undue stress I may have caused them.
Thank you fishmommie for the info you provided! I will do better research in my future attempt!

my precious humidifaction i'll die without you...
Have you purchased your steam humidifier yet?
I know EWC's Autoflow brand steam humidifiers will turn the system fan on themselves when himidification is needed, and isolate the call to the G terminal of the equipment from G on the thermostat.
They also give instructions for how to set up a fan failure safety lockout.

Thanks anyway.
I'm an idiot and need your help, But I also want to be a smart a$$ with reply's like above. Take a jumper from R-C if you see a spark it will work fine..
Yes you'll back feed the Y terminal to the outdoor unit.
Check the vision pro stat, the 1 model has fan recycle ability, and may be just what you want.

As much as I loved the Dolphins draft, I think the icing on the cake for me was when we selected Lamar Miller in the 4th round. Do you guys realize that he can come in day 1, and can possibly be the best running back in the NFL? The guy has the best pair of feet I've ever seen! Just check out the footage below.
Now granted, this is a spring game, but take a look at how the dude shifts his feet and misses tackles. The change in direction is absolutely superb. I'm super excited we moved up to pick him. By far the highlight of the draft. The kid is gonna be special.

I have used Shutterfly for my photo book printing and am very happy with them. But, always looking for options, I decided to do some comparisons and started a spreadsheet on comparing sites, prices, sizes, ability to do customized layouts and books, etc. when I ran across this review that had most of what I was looking for right there. I have seen other's posts on this topic so thought it was a good idea to share the information. I posted this in the comments section before I realized this one was also available. I'm new at the posting part of using SG's services. I'm pretty much a pro at the shopping part though!

Nobody knows how to make a pencil, or a health-care system
In his classic short story "I, Pencil," economist Leonard Read considers the incomprehensible complexity involved in the production of a simple No. 2 pencil: the expertise in design, forestry, mining, metallurgy, engineering, transportation, support services, logistics, architecture, chemistry, machining, and other fields of knowledge necessary to create a product so common, so humble, and so cheap as to have become both ubiquitous and disposable. Read's conclusion, which is one of those fascinating truths so obvious that nobody appreciates them, is that nobody knows how to make a pencil. Nobody is in charge of the operation, and nobody understands it end to end. From the assembly-line worker to the president of the pencil company, thousands or millions of people have tiny, discrete pieces of knowledge about the process, but no coordinating authority organizes their efforts.
That is the paradox of social knowledge: Of course we know how to make a pencil, even though none of us knows how to make a pencil, and pencils get made with very little drama and no central authority, corporate or political, overseeing their creation. A mobile phone is a much more complicated thing than a No. 2 pencil, but both are the products of spontaneous order — of systems that are, in the words of the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Adam Ferguson, the "products of human action, but not of human design."…
Which is something to keep in mind the next time somebody promises to "solve" our health-care challenges or unemployment. Washington is packed to the gills with people who believe that they have the ability to design an intelligent national health-care system, but there is not one who does — no Democrat, no Republican, no independent. The information burden is just too vast. Washington is not only full of people who do not know what they are talking about, it is full of people who do not know that they do not know what they are talking about. That is no model for social change. Your pencil and your phone are.


text: Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that John Williams will score Episode VII! From the unofficial news that made it out of the panel, it sounds like he'll be working on all three in the trilogy. This news has me as giddy as Salacious Crumb. Giacchino could have potentially made a good choice, and I wonder if he'll still score one of the spin-off movies or something, but Williams is pretty integral to Star Wars, so I'm very excited.

I was recently contacted by a BikingToronto reader, Ian, in need of contact information for bike rack suppliers in Toronto. He told me that he had recently moved into a newer condo building near Bloor and Spadina. The building has bicycle parking, but after speaking with other residents and noticing the mess of bikes in their outdoor racks it was clear that his condo building needed better bicycle parking.
Part of why living in a downtown condo building is appealing is the ability to free yourself from needing a car to get everywhere. Ian's building is near a TTC station and is a comfortable cycling distance from his office. He owns several bicycles and is concerned about keeping them in good condition and free from theft for as long as possible. The current set up in his building doesn't satisfy both of those conditions. While the most accessible outdoor parking is covered, it is in an alleyway that anyone can walk down. The racks are also cluttered and that means his bicycle is going to get scraped and bounced around in addition to possibly being stolen.
If this sounds familiar, Ian's story and how a cycling committee in his building approached the board of directors may help you get better bicycle parking for your condo.
While condo builders are adding amenities such as rooftop pools, bowling alleys and fitness centres it seems that bicycle parking isn't a top priority when space is defined and the building begins. Bicycle racks are often placed in out of the way areas that are hard to access, feature inappropriate racks or simply do not exist at all.
Recent amendments to Toronto Zoning By-laws have added more information on bicycle parking guidelines, yet these focus mostly on quantity of available spaces and less on quality of space provided.
Here then is how to get better bicycle parking for your condo.
Your first point of contact is your condo board. Find out if others have approached them about available bicycle parking. In Ian's case, a bicycle committee was formed to determine the bicycle parking needs of tenants and to propose improvements.
The committee then surveyed the building by distributing a questionnaire to determine the current state of bicycle parking as viewed by tenants. Below is a sample survey:
1. How satisfied are you with the current bike parking/storage arrangement?
2. How many bicycles does your household have (write the number 0, 1, 2…9 in each of the spaces provided):
_____Adult-size _____Child-size (small bikes) _____Tricycles (very small child) _____Electric Bikes _____Other
3. Where are your unit's bikes currently stored? (please indicate the quantity of bikes in each location)
_____Outside – racks at back of building
_____Outside – post and rings in front of building
_____Ground floor "Visitor Bike Parking" room
_____Storage locker
_____Other location: _________________________
4. Do you have a car parking spot?
5. Would you be interested in having a bike rack mounted to the wall behind your car?
6. How much would you be willing to spend (rack + installation) ? $_________
7. Please rank your preference (1=first choice; 5=last choice) of where you'd like to store your bicycle(s):
_____Outside – racks at back of building
_____Ground floor "Visitor Bike Parking" room
_____Other location: ________________________
_____Bike rack mounted to the wall behind my car
8. Would you be willing to pay for an indoor reserved bike parking spot? qYes qNo
9. This question is about how often the people in your unit ride. If you don't ride in the winter, just ignore the winter months. How many people in your household ride:
daily (4+ times per week) …….. _____
weekly (1-3 times per week)…. _____
monthly (1-3 times per month). _____
less often than monthly………… _____
10. Have you had any bicycles or bicycle parts stolen from in or around the Condo?
11. Have you registered your bike with the Toronto Police? qYes qNo (http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/bike)
12. Please share any other bike parking or storage ideas:
If you do not currently store a bicycle in the building, please make sure to return this survey with "No"
checked below. This is important for the committee to understand the needs of the building residents
and to evaluate the survey response rate. Thank you very much for your participation.
Does someone in your unit currently store one or more bicycles in or outside the building?
If you provide us with your name & contact information, we will be able to contact you as soon as more
bike parking & storage options become available.
Your answers on this survey will be used only to guide us, not to commit you to anything.
Name: ______________________________________________ Suite #: ________ Parking Spot #: ________
Phone: ________________________ E-mail: ____________________________________________________
Please contact me as soon as more information is available Yes No
Ian reports that the survey was well-received by tenants in the building and the response was more than enough to help guide them in creating an improved bicycle parking proposal for the condo board.
Using the survey results you'll be able to identify problem areas and find out how much parking needs to be added and where residents would prefer the parking be located.
In Ian's building it was determined that the outdoor parking was not properly laid out and created a cluttered and potentially bicycle damaging situation when using the racks. Indoor bicycle parking was limited and the racks did not provide secure locking options. Space was identified for additional parking in the underground parking lot of the building yet access and security both posed problems requiring passing through multiple doors which can be difficult with a bicycle and parcels.
Secure bicycle parking means racks that are permanently anchored to the ground or wall with enough contact points to lock both a bicycle frame and wheel. Racks should be spaced to allow for many sizes of bicycles and allow for clearance between them to assist in parking and removing a bicycle.
A bicycle user group for the City of Toronto recommends these bicycle rack manufacturers and models:
Cora Bike Rack Ltd.
Tel: 1-800-739-4609
Model: Expo Bike Rack
Trystan Bike Racks
68 Swan Street
Ayr, ON N0B 1E0
Tel: (519) 632-7427
Fax: (519) 632-8271
Model: TD1
Bike Rack Co.
395 Signet St.
Toronto, ON M9L 1V3
Tel: (416) 927-7499
Model: The lock up 1 and lock up 2
In order to make your bicycle parking proposal a professional one, be sure to contact suppliers as well as potential installers and determine the full costs of purchasing, shipping and installing. I'd also recommend contacting someone who can help you adhere to fire codes when determining where to install the racks.
Ian told me that after approaching his condo board they have been approved to make changes to the existing parking and a budget was given. The final move now is for the board to act on the recommendations of the cycling committee and put the plans into action.
If you're disappointed in the current state of bicycle parking in your condo, then now is the time to do something about it.

A.J. Burnett: How much is he worth?January 29, 2014 11:51 PM
From the Pirates' perspective, reports that A.J. Burnett plans to pitch this year does not change much. He still might or might not rejoin the team — the same situation that existed in November.
For the rest of baseball, the free-agent pool just became more interesting. It now contains a veteran pitcher who showed no signs of decline in 2013 and who likely can be signed to a short-term contract.
As revenue across the game has increased, so has the size of players contracts. Clayton Kershaw, the National League Cy Young winner in 2013, represents the top of the food chain with his seven-year, $215 million contract, but the increase holds true across the board. Mid-level pitchers agreed to more expensive deals this offseason as teams realize, with power down in the game, that strong rotations are necessary to compete.
"The dynamics of the industry as well continue to shift and change, as we see again this winter," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said at the winter meetings, after the team and starting pitcher Charlie Morton agreed to a three-year, $21 million extension.
Some lower-caliber starting pitchers have agreed to sizable contracts this offseason, which makes Burnett's entry into the market more complicated. Conversations Wednesday indicated that Burnett is keeping his plans to himself, and he has not returned phone messages seeking comment.
Burnett went 10-11 with a 3.30 ERA in 191 innings for the Pirates in 2013. He led the National League among qualified starters with 9.8 strikeouts per nine innings and a 56.5 percent ground-ball rate. He is 37, though, and missed a month of the season because of a small tear in his calf.
After making $16.5 million in 2013, the final year of a five-year, $82.5 million contract signed before the 2009 season, Burnett could find himself with one of the higher contracts, in terms of average annual value, among free-agent starters this offseason.
Among the best of the bunch to sign — apart from Masahiro Tanaka, who joined the New York Yankees via the international posting system — is Ricky Nolasco, whose 3.70 ERA in 1991⁄3 innings in 2013 earned a four-year, $49 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. Despite missing the first month and a half of 2013 due to injury, Matt Garza agreed to $50 million for four years with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Phil Hughes, who had a 5.19 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with the Yankees last year, also signed with the Twins for $24 million across three years. Scott Feldman, who had a 3.86 ERA and kept the ball in the ballpark but had only a 6.5 strikeouts-per-nine inning mark, signed with the Houston Astros for three years and $30 million. Jason Vargas and his 4.02 ERA went to the Kansas City Royals for four years and $32 million.
The catch: All those pitchers are at least 6 years younger than Burnett. Tim Hudson, 38, signed with the San Francisco Giants for two years and $23 million after compiling a 3.97 ERA in 2013. Hudson is recovering from a broken ankle in July when he was stepped on while covering first base. Hiroki Kuroda, 38, is perhaps the best comparison: After posting a 3.31 ERA in 2011⁄3 innings, he signed a one-year, $16 million contract with the Yankees.
With Hudson, Nolasco, Feldman and Garza signing contracts averaging between $10 million and $12.5 million a year and Kuroda signing for $16 million, Burnett could command $15 million a year or more.
Because the Pirates did not extend Burnett a $14.1 million qualifying offer, he is not tied to draft-pick compensation. This could make him more attractive to teams, especially because the best two starters available, Ervin Santana and Ubaldo Jimenez, each declined qualifying offers. That means any team signing them would forfeit a first-round draft pick or a second-rounder if its pick falls in the top 10.
"He can still decline it. His ability to leave doesn't change," general manager Neal Huntington said in November, after the Pirates did not give Burnett a qualifying offer. "We remain optimistic and remain respectful of A.J. to work through his process."
Jimenez, 30, struck out 194 in 1822⁄3 innings in 2013 with a 3.30 ERA. Santana, 31, had a 3.24 ERA in 211 innings, the third season out of four in which he surpassed 200 innings.
After those two and Burnett, the market gives way to the likes of Bronson Arroyo, Jason Hammel and Paul Maholm. Because of Burnett's level of performance and the probability that teams won't have to commit to a long-term deal to sign him, he likely will garner significant interest.

For those of you who are considering playing Galaxies, the MMORPG based on Star Wars coming out in the near future, what type of character, skills, and affiliation do you want to have?
The game sounds like it will offer so many different ways to go! I want to live on Tatooine and ride around on a Dewback or a Landspeeder. I'm not sure I want to try and become a Jedi. I think it will require a lot of work. If I do go that route, I would sacrifice the skill points necessary to become skilled at wielding a double bladed lightsaber. I definitely want a droid sidekick to hang out with also.
I think I will stick with human as my species and be affiliated with the Alliance.

This Asian-inspired dish is a quick fix for a delicious dinner. Sea scallops stir-fried with broccoli, mushroom and red pepper, served over white rice – a mild meal!
Substitute 1 pound uncooked peeled and deveined medium shrimp (thawed if frozen) for the scallops. In step 5, cook the shrimp, broccoli and roasted red peppers 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp are pink.
Scallops are classified as either bay or sea scallops. Bay
scallops are much smaller and sweeter than their counterparts. Sea scallops are more readily available and less expensive than bay scallops.
If sea scallops aren't available you can use 1 pound bay scallops. In step 5, cook the broccoli and peppers 2 minutes and then add the scallops. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until scallops are white and opaque.
Cut the broccoli into 1/2-inch stalks and cut the stalks crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
Scallops are done when they turn white and opaque. Longer cooking results in tough scallops.

We did experiment with separating the sidebar with gray borders and background colors, but that ended up drawing too much attention to the sidebar.
What about just a small line that separates the editor's comments from the video information? Right now it just looks like a blanket of white and everything just folds together.
Aside from having gray borders & different background colours is there no other way to divide the contents? Even if it were a thin line with a small gradient/shadowing in either side. Not large but just enough to let the viewer know its separate information..
(giving it more of a realistic 2 column feel)...?
I'd prefer to hold off on adding visual elements for organization's sake until more subsystems that will have a home on a video info page are in place (see e.g. issues 30, 31, and 32). Adding information from those subsystems will change the way the page is organized.
That said, I do think the no-line setup that exists right now is fine. The spacing and page width might be a bit large, and may need to be adjusted -- but I won't know that until more of the page is filled in. I've got a few books (like this one) that use the same layout, and IMO it's very effective.

Shares of Sina (SINA) had gained 18% during the past month, but that didn't stop Goldman Sachs from upgrading the stock to Buy from Neutral today.
The reason? Alibaba's investment in the Chinese internet company's Twitter-like platform, Weibo. Goldman's Piyush Mubayi and Fei Fang write:
We expect this investment, with the two parties' aligned interests at stake, will enable Alibaba to direct demand to Weibo, thereby helping accelerate Weibo's revenues in the next three years. Key synergies will likely come from Alibaba's "big data" vision, i.e., contextualizing Weibo's social graph data to enhance SME marketing effectiveness on the Taobao and Weibo platforms. We model US$1bn more value accretion for Weibo (now US$3.1bn) and upgrade Sina to Buy with 16% upside to our new 12-month TP of US$67 (up from US$58).
They also place Alibaba's investment in Sina in context:
Baidu (BIDU), Alibaba Group, and Tencent (0700.HK) – armed with mass user traffic, ecosystem resources, and execution capabilities – have emerged as contenders for next-generation leadership. This struggle will likely shape the industry landscape over the next 5-10 years. Following Alibaba Group's partnering with Sina Weibo, Tencent Weixin's main competitor, the first strategic battle has begun, and it is rightly taking place in social commerce.
The partnership between Alibaba and Sina is "not a positive for Baidu given potential competition
for long-tailed advertising demand," Mubayi and Fang write. But they're not giving up on the company yet.
…we believe Baidu, as the search leader, is well placed to defend its competitive presence among its core customer segments, which are less exposed to e-commerce advertising due to the businesses' offline focus.
They rate Baidu Neutral and see 2% downside potential to their new price target of $91, up from $89.
Sina's shares have gained 2% to $58.68 today, while Baidu has ticked up 0.2% to 94.42.

HI, I am trying to replace the seats on my tub faucet assembly, I have removed one of the seats with a seat tool but when I tried to remove the other it stripped completely. Is there anything I can get in there that would grab hold of the stripped seat? The one I did get out was so tight that I had to step on the seat tool to remove it and I assume the stripped seat is in there just as tight. Any advice on the subject would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

It's time to curb escalating gun violence
It's time to curb
escalating gun violence
I am a hunter and a gun owner. I have been around guns all my life and have taught both adult and youth firearms safety. I have always been an opponent of gun control.
But the recent events in Connecticut have infuriated and sickened me; as a father and grandfather, I realize that something must be done to curb our escalating gun violence. I sorely wish that I had an obvious solution, but I do not. Perhaps, though, it is time for members on both sides of the gun debate to be honest and to compromise — something not done often today.
I am certain that I will offend some of my shooting friends, but I personally feel there is no need for the "AR" style weapons; they belong only in the military. Is it time to outlaw these assault style rifles? And maybe also extended magazines? I personally would be willing to make such concessions.
Unfortunately, I don't trust some of our elected officials. Some have proposed a total ban on "semi-automatic weapons." That term describes the shotguns that hundreds of thousands of us safely use to hunt pheasants and ducks, and I shudder to think that my guns may be banned due to the ignorance of some politicians.
Many of us sportsmen have ambiguous feelings about gun control right now. Enacting more legislation may not help because we know that criminals do not buy guns; they steal them. They do not go through the hoops to acquire a permit to carry, as I did.
So will more laws help? I do not know. But I know that when innocent children are slaughtered in a school, it is time to re-examine our priorities.
Den Pluimer,
Breezy Point

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a procedure to create new connections between two blood vessels in your liver. You may need this procedure if you have severe liver problems.
This is not a surgical procedure. It is done by a radiologist using x-ray. A radiologist is a doctor who uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases.
You will be asked to lie on your back. You will be connected to monitors that will check your heart rate and blood pressure.
You will probably receive local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. This will make you pain-free and sleepy. Or, you may have general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
Your radiologist will insert a catheter (a flexible tube) through your skin into a vein in your neck.
This new pathway will allow blood to flow better. It will ease pressure on the veins of your stomach, esophagus, intestines, and liver.
Normally, blood coming from your esophagus, stomach, and intestines first flows through the liver. When your liver has a lot of damage and there are blockages, blood cannot flow through it very easily. This is called portal hypertension (increased pressure and backup of the portal vein). The veins can then break open (rupture), causing serious bleeding.
Common causes of portal hypertension are:
When portal hypertension occurs, you may have:
This procedure allows your blood to flow better in your liver, stomach, esophagus, and intestines, and then back to your heart.
Possible risks with this procedure are:
Rare risks are:
Your doctor may ask you to have these tests:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
On the day of your procedure:
After the procedure, you will recover in your hospital room. You will be monitored for bleeding. You will have to keep your head raised.
There is usually no pain after the procedure.
You will be able to go home when you feel better. This may be the day after the procedure.
Many people get back to their everyday activities in 7 to 10 days.
Your doctor will probably do an ultrasound after the procedure to make sure the stent is working correctly.
You will be asked to have a repeat ultrasound in a few weeks to make sure that the TIPS procedure is working.
Your radiologist can tell you right away how well the procedure worked. Most patients recover well.
TIPS works in about 80% - 90% of portal hypertension cases.
The procedure is much safer than surgery and does not involve any cutting or stitches.

Innovation Forum to feature early business ventures
Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. · 101 Friend Center
Posted April 4, 2008; 10:24 a.m.
About a dozen Princeton scientists and engineers will talk about their early-stage entrepreneurial ventures at an Innovation Forum from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, in 101 Friend Center.
Researchers will give short presentations describing commercially ripe ventures that spring from Princeton's science and engineering laboratories. Among the presenters will be Jeffry Stock, professor of molecular biology, and his brother, Gregory Stock, the chief executive officer of Signum BioSciences, a company that applies the tools of molecular biochemistry to treat diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
At a reception following the event, forum presenters will be on hand to answer questions about their ventures and display posters that graphically explain their work.
The event is sponsored by Princeton's Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, the Jumpstart New Jersey Angel Network, the University's Office of Technology Licensing and the law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
The event is free to the public, but registration is requested. To register, contact Stephanie Landers.

The PNG files
The dll files are the x86 versions from the SDL and SDL_image binary installations.
When I run the game from outside Visual C++, a window opens and the game crashes. Stepping through the code in the debugger, I discovered the following code returns a null pointer:
SDL_RWops* textureFile; // filename is the argument I pass to the texture loading function. textureFile = SDL_RWFromFile(filename, "rb");
Adding a call to SDL's GetError functions to get more information about the error provides the error message "Couldn't open ImageFile.png", where ImageFile is one of the PNG files in the game. I figure the files aren't loading due to not having the PNG files or DLLs in the right location. But I thought putting them in the same location as the application was enough to get the image files to load. Are there additional libraries or files I need to place in the application folder to get the PNG files to load? I'm obviously missing something.

Boden named dean of religious life
Posted May 17, 2007; 10:00 a.m.
The Rev. Alison Boden, dean of Rockefeller Memorial Chapel at the University of Chicago for the past 12 years, has been named dean of religious life and the chapel at Princeton University, effective Aug. 1.
Boden, who also has served as a senior lecturer in Chicago's divinity school and college, has worked to raise the chapel's profile on the campus, in the city and throughout the region. Her efforts have included opening an Interreligious Center in the chapel's basement, creating programs on such topics as religion and violence, and organizing and leading delegations abroad to explore the subject of religion, human rights and social change.
"We are extremely pleased that Rev. Boden has accepted our offer," said Janet Dickerson, vice president for campus life, who led the search. "She has a national reputation as a preacher and leader, and she has a demonstrated and deep commitment to social justice and to interfaith collaboration and dialogue. She was selected from an outstanding pool of applicants, and we are honored that she has chosen to join our campus life team."
Princeton's Office of Religious Life gives care and support to the many religious communities that flourish on the campus. The dean provides leadership for more than 30 denominational and nondenominational chaplaincies and student religious organizations, and is responsible for offering moral and spiritual guidance within the context of the University's secular environment. As dean of the chapel, Boden will serve as liturgical leader to the University Chapel congregation. She will be responsible for ecumenical worship and for the three principal University interfaith services -- Opening Exercises, the Service of Commemoration and Remembrance, and Baccalaureate.
At Chicago, Boden spearheaded a three-year, $1 million project to convert Rockefeller Memorial Chapel's cavernous basement into a five-room prayer, worship and meditation center that opened in April 2006. She also worked to create an Interreligious Council, a body of students representing each religious tradition, responsible for programming, community-building and promoting respect for and between religious groups on campus.
In addition to creating a variety of programs on religious and ethical subjects for the campus community, Boden has developed interrreligious opportunities for worship or reflection centered around important observances and issues such as 9/11, Earth Day and sexual violence. She also has worked to expand programs in the sacred arts, including drama, film, puppetry and other media.
Boden is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. She previously served as the Protestant chaplain at Union College for a year and as the university chaplain at Bucknell University for three years before joining the University of Chicago in 1995.
A graduate of Vassar College with an A.B. in drama, Boden pursued a career as an actress in New York for several years. During that time she served as a volunteer on the pediatric AIDS ward at Harlem Hospital. She found the experience to be "challenging on many levels, including the spiritual," and it compelled her to enroll at Union Theological Seminary, where she earned a master of divinity degree. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom.
Boden's teaching interests have included the formational issues and practical skills of ministry, human rights and religion, aspects of prayer, and religion and violence. She is the author of numerous articles and chapters on religion in the academy, interreligious organizing and other topics. Her book "Women's Rights and Religious Practice" will be published this fall.
"I am delighted to be joining the Princeton community," Boden said. "I've long respected its religious life and chapel programs as among the very best in the country. I am eager to join in the good work of spiritual support, imaginative programming and wonderful collaborations for all at Princeton."
Boden will succeed Thomas Breidenthal, the dean since 2002, who resigned in January to become bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. Frederick Borsch, who was dean from 1981 to 1988, returned to serve in that role on an interim basis during the spring semester.
