Flickr Roundup
Flickr Roundup Time!
A little throw pillow reminder about how badass and radical FabulouslyFierce is! I can think of many women in my life who deserve to display this proudly in their homes.
This tiny zombie koi made my day. Sue Shaw did a great job with placement next to that shiny gold button.
OOoooo, Aaaaaahh! This bag by teealday is so pretty. I love the mix of fabrics, and the painted roses really pop.
INartwork made this cute fox clutch. I like the inventive use of applique on the doll's beret, finishing out the matched set.
This cute pouch by E.C.reativ would make a great ipod and headphone hideaway.
I want! SummeryCreations picked some great colors to use for this Knit or Die oversize bag set!
Fabulous. Quilting thimble cottage stitched this 'staching hand towel with the perfect holiday fabric trim.
Tummer's new car seat cover and blanket by kraizdnurz is stupendous! Babies really are like little aliens; totally new to this planet.
This grunge griffin wrist band really rocks! Giliell has some great style and stitching skills.
Amy hand stitched this cute black sheep, and the rick-rack edging is a great finishing touch.
Embroidery is awesome! I am endlessly impressed with the creativity and talent of everyone posting to the flickr pool. What a cool community of crafters. I hope to be seeing lots of giving bunny photos in the mix soon too! Keep up the great work!

P!nk was spotted one night by an executive for MCA Records, who asked her to audition for an R&B group called Basic Instinct. Although P!nk's strong vocals landed her the gig, the group imploded not long after. She was quickly recruited for a female R&B trio called Choice, who signed to L.A. Reid and Babyface's LaFace label on the strength of their demo; however, they too disbanded due to differences over musical direction. During Choice's brief studio time, producer Daryl Simmons asked P!nk to write a bridge section for the song "Just to Be Loving You." Impressed with the results, P!nk rediscovered her songwriting muse, and an equally impressed L.A. Reid soon gave her a solo deal with LaFace.
P!nk recorded her solo debut, Can't Take Me Home, with a variety of songwriting partners and dance-pop and R&B producers. Released in 2000, the album was a double-platinum hit; it spun off three Top Ten singles in "There U Go," "Most Girls," and "You Make Me Sick." She toured that summer as the opening act for *N Sync, but soon found herself tired of being pigeonholed as strictly a teen act despite her sassy, forthright persona. As she set about working on her follow-up album, P!nk took part in the remake of Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" featured on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which also featured powerhouse divas Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil' Kim. The song was a massive hit, topping the charts in both the U.S. and U.K. while expanding P!nk's own audience.
Toward the end of the year, P!nk released her next single, "Get the Party Started," which climbed into the Top Five and became the singer's most inescapable hit to date. Her accompanying sophomore album, M!ssundaztood, quickly went double platinum; it boasted a more personal voice and an eclectic sound, plus heavy contributions from ex-4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry, who helped bring some more rock muscle to P!nk's sound (as did guest appearances by Steven Tyler and Richie Sambora). M!ssundaztood attracted positive critical notices as well, and its second single, "Don't Let Me Get Me," became another fast-rising Top Ten hit.
P!nk next issued Try This in November 2003. The album continued her progression toward more rock-oriented material, due in part to the songwriting collaboration of Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong on eight of the album's tracks. Try This' lead single, "Trouble," cracked the upper regions of Billboard's Top 40 and earned P!nk a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. On the home front, P!nk wed motocross racer Carey Hart -- whom she had initially met at 2001's X-Games -- on January 7, 2006, in Costa Rica.
Her next album, I'm Not Dead, appeared that April; its first single, "Stupid Girls," quickly became a hit, while "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand" both cracked the Top Ten. I'm Not Dead reached platinum status in several countries and helped ramp up anticipation for P!nk's follow-up, Funhouse, which arrived in October 2008. "So What," the album's leadoff single, became her first number one hit since "Lady Marmalade." Another hit, "Please Don't Leave Me," followed in 2009 and all her hits were collected on the 2010 release Greatest Hits...So Far!!!, which was preceded by the single "Raise Your Glass." Around the time of the release of Greatest Hits...So Far!!!, P!nk announced that she and her husband were expecting their first child.
In September 2012, P!nk released her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love. With production from Greg Kurstin, Butch Walker, Max Martin, Dan Wilson, and others, it became her first number one album in America and earned platinum status in half a dozen countries. The singles "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," "Try," and "Just Give Me a Reason" all hit the Top Ten in the U.S., and the last became her fourth number one hit in America. P!nk mounted a yearlong tour through Australia, Europe, and North America, and at the end of 2013 she was named Woman of the Year by Billboard. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Ultimate Glory is Coming - Bloodstain Lane Has a Message For You
- Written by Dave Walsh
There are some people that for some reason, really dislike Bloodstain Lane, find him abrasive, crass, over-the-top and antagonizing. The truth is, he embodies all of those things with a pure, raw passion for MMA and kickboxing that I find refreshing. I feel like I'm on the same page as him a lot of the time, I just tend to choose my wording a bit differently when expressing my disdain. It works for Lane, though, as he has mentioned a few times in more candid moments, it is a character that takes parts of himself and just amplifies them. As a person who has performed on stage, I can respect and understand that, as well as understand that not everyone gets it.
The point I'm getting at here is, BSL has done a lot to promote some of the world's best fighting, and Ultimate Glory's next show is rapidly approaching. There is a very good chance that you'll be able to watch that event from the comfort of your computer or TV. So watch as BSL hooked up with Team Golden Glory's Martijn de Jong at the last Strikeforce show and gave a message about the show. Make sure to catch the show, March 19th.

Shares of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology vendor Universal Display (OLED) closed down off $1.34, or 4.4%, at $29.35, recovered from a low of the day of $26.82, following a report this afternoon by Bloomberg's Jonathan Browning, Jungah Lee and Amy Thomson that Samsung Electronics (005930KS), which uses Universal's technology in smartphone displays, is close to buying Germany's Novaled AG, which makes technology for both television and handset screens, citing two unnamed sources.
A couple of bull leaped to the stock's defense this afternoon. Craig Irwin of Wedbush Securities, who has a Hold rating on Universal stock, and a$28 price target, while not formally publishing on Universal, offered the following remark in email: "We think the sell-off is overdone."
"Novaled plays in a totally different area of the stack; if anything this shows that Samsung is willing to spend big money to keep control of the technology."
"This only raises the probability that Universal Display gets taken out."
And Oppenheimer & Co.'s Andrew Uerkwitz, who has a Buy rating and a $37 target on Universal, writes that investors may misunderstand the nature of the two companies' technologies, and that they are complimentary, not competitive:
We believe the acquisition of Novaled shall pose minimum threat to Universal Display Corp.'s competitive position as materials produced by Novaled and Universal Display are complementary in an OLED display. We believe weakness in UDC's stock price today is based on misunderstanding of the product positions of Novaled and UDC and concerns over why Samsung is acquiring Novaled instead of UDC. We are buyers on today's weakness [...] An OLED device has a sandwich-like structure, the outer layers are usually cover glass and glass substrate, followed by two "transport layers." At the center of the multi-layer structure is emitter layer, which emits light and can show different colors as electric current flows through [...] Novaled's products are primarily the "transport layers" in an OLED display, which facilitate the movement of electrons. The company is private but has filed an IPO in early 2012. Novaled is not a competitor to Universal Display's core products: OLED emitters [...] Universal Display's products are used in the "emitter layer" in an OLED device, which emits light and displays color. Universal Display has a strong patent position in emitter materials and is the only company shipping OLED emitters at commercial scale.
Universal is set to report earnings on August 8th, after market close.

|Train Blogging: A look at what the Bruins are facing in Philadelphia
|04.29.11 at 9:00 pm ET
The second round is almost here for the Bruins, and WEEI.com is on its way to Philadelphia to cover the series. As we blog on the train, here's the information you need heading into the opening games of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Schedule:
Game 1: Saturday, 3 p.m.
Game 2: Monday, 7:30 p.m.
Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 to be played at Wells Fargo Center (*if necessary)
(ALL) BUSINESS CLASS (who is getting the job done): Patrice Bergeron was the Bruins' best player against the Canadiens. His seven points vs. the Canadiens led the Bruins, and his first-round performance seemed to rub off on Brad Marchand. Remember, Bergeron would have been a free agent after the season had the B's not inked him to an extension back in October. Right now it's looking like a good thing that the B's have avoided a bidding war on the 25-year-old center.
THE CONDUCTOR (who needs to set the tone): Milan Lucic had a couple of big assists in setting up both of Nathan Horton's overtime goals in the first round, but those were his only two points of the series. Lucic led the B's with 30 goals in the regular season, and has generally been a solid contributor in the playoffs. He had nine points in two series in each of the last two years, so his two points thus far are both uncharacteristic of his performance this year and a dropoff from his normal postseason production. Lucic is the Bruins' top goal-scorer and needs to perform like it.
COMING UP IN THE CABOOSE (who might have a bigger factor in this series): Rich Peverley racked up five points in the first round but still seemed to fly under the radar a bit. You've got to love the way he plays, as his speed and willingness to throw pucks on net make him a real asset on that third line. Peverley's 15 shots on goal in the first round were third among Bruins forwards, behind only Patrice Bergeron (22) and Marchand (18). Peverley's line with Chris Kelly and Michael Ryder is definitely clicking, and he could wind up with more goals in the second round after scoring one vs. Montreal.

ASHLAND – After 19 ties and 11 lead changes in tonight's Cascade Conference men's basketball contest, Oregon Tech was unable to weather a late-game rally, as the Hustlin' Owls fell to rival Southern Oregon University by an 86-74 final at Bob Riehm Arena in Ashland.
Oregon Tech would go up by their largest margin of five points after Duncan Schramm connected from long range at the 6:58 mark of the first period to put Tech up 30-25. Southern Oregon would close out the half, however, on an 18-12 spurt to take a one point lead, 43-42, into the intermission.
The team's would see-saw over the first seven minutes of the second half before the Raiders pushed ahead to take control. Tech, leading 58-57, would see SOU go on a 14-4 run to put the home team up 71-62, and in control for good. The Owls would hold possession down six points with 1:35 to play, but a 3-point attempt fell short and Tech never got closer falling by the 86-74 final.
Duncan Schramm, on 6-of-8 shooting, including 2-for-3 from long range, led the Owls with 14 points. Derek Evans, finishing 5-of-8 from the field, added 13 points for Tech. Kyle Waits chipped in 12 points, followed by 10 points from Austen Flint.
SOU went 27-for-60 from the field compared to OIT's 28-for-57, but the Raiders held a 27-12 edge at the free-throw line. Head Coach Danny Miles will look to achieve career-wins 999 and 1,000 this weekend when his Hustlin' Owls host both Eastern Oregon University and No. 21 The College of Idaho this Friday and Saturday. Tip-off for both contests begin at 7:30 p.m.

So far I'm thinking of gamble, ruger, and bluffton. I really really like bluffton but it seems like it may be too long of a name. What're you guys opinion?

The total inactivity of this board says something...
mid August -> mid sept with no chatter on this saltwater salmon board.
on my last trip to Neah, after running all over, out to swiftsure etc, we stopped bothering with salmon and had fun with bottom fish.
Chris quit guiding and sold his stuff.
Grim season out there.

NZ Trout bum and I went out to Neah Bay and broke camp he towed his camp trailer back to Pugetopolis and I towed his Wahler to my digs here in PA. We did not even attempt to fish out there but we did amuse ourselves in my front yard fishing in my pond! (for bass and trout)
I think this was the worst saltwater salmon fishing that I have ever been involved inbut what do I know I have only been doing this since I was pre kindergarten.Actually I have heard a few rumbles about fair results around Dabob on the approach to the Quilecene. Almost too late for the old "They are Late" theory. Each passing day puts us closer to Spring training for the Lads and next year at Neah Bay. I am looking forward to both but I think I will immerse myself in Steelhead fishing between now and then
...and The King's line over the past two games includes 15 hits, 11 runs, 6 walks and only 9k's. All of which took place in only 10 innings.

In all fairness to the kid the ump made several really key mistakes on 3 strikes and Beltre while not making an error did not make a routine play on a ground ball both situations extended three and out of a jam that got the rally extended into scoring.
But Betnacourt is a jewel that will be great to watch for many years to come if Felix is to be King then Betnacourt must be the Prince.
While it is now the time to give up on the Coho run, it is not the time to give up on Felix. In his short time up, he has pitched among the best several games of the M's season. His recovery the other day, when he got in early trouble, was pretty impressive. Tough day for him in Texas though. Hard to sneak a fastball past a team that has 7 jokers with 20+ long balls on the season.

Whats the opinion on Sexon? Everytime I tune into the highlights he's swatting one out.

As for 3rd base though, the curse lives on. Beltre is performing almost exactly on par with his career average if you exclude 2004 but he cost the M's ($11.4million this year) as much as a player who should always put up numbers like his anomolous 2004 season .
At least Cirillo is off the books. 2 more years and Spezio will be too. Woohoo!
Hey, what's the story at Neah Bay and the Swiftsure bank regarding salmonids other than Coho? Were the Pink, Chum and Chinook runs at normal levels, or were they as far off as the Coho? Is there any bait? Is the fishery poor just at Neah Bay or does the poor fishing extend to Vancouver Island (east and west) as well? How about Sequim environs?
Down here, the fish have been sporadically coming in to the Alsea. Run (Chinook) seems small and late. There is no bait to speak of, particularly when compared to last year, when the Bay was full of Northern Anchovies. The Silver (Coho) run has not started for the adults, but there are a few jacks around, visible mainly at low tide as they arc out into our Indian Summer air.
Sea Run Cutthroat are very hard to find, although I've heard reports that nearby creeks have had good numbers of fish entering.
One more question: does this sub Forum include estuary fishing for salmon, steelhead, and trout or does this topic belong in another forum? Seems odd to lump the estuary fishing for snook in with cutthroats.
Seems like a poor year all around though. I'm leaving for Kodiak Island next week and hope to find things better there, although weir counts have been dismal.
Petri heil,

I suspect this one has to be attributed to anomalies in the ocean currents... its seems impossible that an entire year class could be this lost, about the only force of nature with that much wide-scale influence would be ocean currents leading the biomass astray? One can only hope.
BTW - I just tuned in just one minute ago, literally - just in time to watch Richie Sexon blast a first pitch, 9th inning grand slam to all but seal the deal for the M's in Toronto. Please Seattle, keep him in the grand plan for the team of the future, add some more ace pitching, hone the defense and we'll see what the rookies can do down the road.

As for humpies, my wife hooked 1 humpy on a clouser when we were fishing bottom fish off Tatoosh. One. A single humpy. 2 years ago the humpy action out there was crazy. Seriously. We'd leave piles of humpies to find silvers just because we could, and because we'd already hooked so many of those hard fighters. Piles of biting humpies. Great fun.
Chris Bellows, if he is still kicking around this site, is a much better source of info about the year out there compared to previous. He's fished it hard for a good while.
Sexson with his 3rd Grand Slam of the year. Usually when I say good things about one of the M's it is like a snake bite... just don't let him near 3rd base or the curse might infect him.

The inactivity of this board is definitely attributable to the poor salmon/coho fishing this season. All my usual haunts: Whidbey, Point No Point, Narrows, Lincoln, Meadow Point etc. have been at best, slow. Damned dreary and disappointing.
Thank god for the occassional steelhead.
Think there is little doubt that salmon returns throughout western Washington are down from expectations.
Looks like most Puget Sound chinook returns were 50 to70% of expectations. Pink returns with the exception of South Sound were below expectations - and who knows how many would have come back to the south Sound if conditions would have been better.
The Puget Sound resident coho to my eye looked to have been above average while the ocean fish have been well below expectations. Again pointing to a ocean problem. Started seeing maturing ocean coho in central Sound the first week of August with all signs indicating the run timing was more or less normal. The early returning ocean fish were smaller than those of the few years (3 to 7#) while some the later fish have been very niced sized and well conditioned (same for the later ocean chinook) indicating the at least part of the problem has pointed out by others was feeding conditions. Suspect that the coho returns will be more disappointing than the chinook.
Who knows about how the chums will be?
The lack of "shakers" (either coho or chinook) and coho Jacks is worrisome for next year.
Ah - the Mariners - they are as unfathonable as the salmon runs. Looks that will win about 10% more games than last year - a decent improvement - the same next season they will be a .500 club. Saxon has been all they could have hoped for. The injury to Dan Wilson was very costly and probably limited their chances to become a .500 club this year. With Felix the starting pitching may be adequate next season (assuming that Moyer can continue and Meche can achieve some consitency) though there looks to be major holes in the bull pen - Hopefully Nelson is gone and not sure which Guardado we'll see next year. However as with our fishing come spring we'll likely be optomistic that 2006 will be better than 2005.
Regarding the estuary fish - cutts and Dollies. The cuttrhoat fishing in North Sound has been pretty good with consistent catches some really nice sized fish. My catch rates have been about 2/3 of what they were a decade ago but suspect that has less to do with the numbers of the fish and more with the number of anglers who are sharing the fishing. It will be interesting to see what the folks from around the coast have to say about cutthroat abundances at the coastal cutthroat symposium at Port Townsend next week.
The bull trout/Dolly adult returns appear to be on parr with recent years (even up some with a strong year class of first time spawners) with continued numbers of exceptional sized fish. A little troublesome for the Skagit system appears to the decreased numbers of sub-adult Dollies - impacts from the 2003 floods?
Tight lines
i can only comment up until august 9th, when my season came to a sputtering (damn Merc) stop.
before the first week of august, there was some bait and the fishing for coho was fair (not great for neah bay, but good by most other standards). we were seeing bait, but not the numbers of salmon one would expect considering the bait.
the first week of august was just plain shocking. that week started with a skunk and didn't really improve that much. we found some pinks and coho fishing areas i rarely ever fish (sw of tatoosh). the fish were scattered, except for the one day we found some pinks feeding very selectively on a large area of krill.
in late july, i did witness a brief glimpse of the past glory on swiftsure. in a thick fog we came upon a wonderful sight. large numbers of coho boiling on the surface, feasting on krill. i hadn't seen this since 2003 (2004 offered poor fishing on swiftsure, but the inside fishing more than made up for it), and not only was it a great sight, but the fishing was that frantic, red-hot fishing that neah bay is known for. unfortunetely, the fishing lasted only a short time (15-30 minutes) and the fish and krill were gone. i feel very fortunate that i was able to get one last glimpse of this feeding activity (especially now) even if only for a short time.
this summer was very odd. the salmon season started with warmer than average temperatures (56 degrees at swiftsure in july) and then things just switched, with 46 degree water southwest of tatoosh (where it is typically warmer than the strait). my last trip was a search for blue sharks, and we ran about 25 miles sw of tatoosh to the juan de fuca canyon, and the water temp barely made 56 degrees (normally it would be 58-60).
whatever happened in the ocean this summer is beyond my explantion. the big blue is an amazing thing and the only thing i know is when i think i have it figured out at all... 2005 happens.
of course, the tough fishing was okay, but dealing with the anti-sportfishing feel from the makah tribe was the most troubling aspect of 2005... although i imagine i have just been ignoring it for years. my passion for the fishing blinded me to what has happened to the sportfishing community that used to call neah bay home. the rampant increase in poaching this summer was another unfortunate byproduct of tribal businesses forcing long term tenants out of the marina. people with no stake don't really care about the fishery or imo the community.
hopefully 2005 was a slight blip in the radar and 2006 is another amazing year at neah bay.
i will miss the fishing,
"God, in his great clemency, created the Earth, Louis Armstrong, the Neville Brothers and ReBirth!"
Chris -
Very sorry to hear about the end of your tenure as a true Neah Bay flyfishing guide. It's our loss really, thanks for holding the torch as long as you could.
Frightening to hear about the state of affairs out there, having spent many summers in absolutely ridiculous fishing conditions from Swiftsure to Greenbank and inland to Port Angeles in the 80's and 90's.
Heck Dalco and Pt Defiance were on fire most years in the lower sound too.
Please let's make it a point to 'get even' in 2006 by having a barn-burner ocean clave out there.

Flyfishing for salmon on Vancouver Island depends on the specie.So far this year the Pinks came back in fair numbers on the rivers with hatcheries.This is the off year for Pinks,the big run is in even years,opposite the big Frazer run.As far as I've heard the Spring numbers were down.Anglers did well at the Stamp River on the West coast of the Island.The Coho fishing on the East coast so far has been very slow,but we still have another few weeks yet.The fish up here are about 2-3 weeks late on all the runs.Supposedly there have been alot of Coho out off the banks on the west coast.The local river I fish for Chums just picked up this past week but the fish are being finnicky.This run is also 2-3 weeks late.Had a pretty August for Sea-run Cutties.The population I fish for is declining due to a couple of seals that have taken residence in the harbour were the Cutties spend most of thier time.Last winter was the worst year I had for fishing the Cutties in the harbour.I do have some theories on why.I joined this forum in the summer and I am too somewhat disappointed.

The Network Verification Challenge initiative will lead to devlopment of models that will represent the current status of scientific knowledge as related to a given set of networks
Singapore: Network Verification Challenge, an initiative that provides scientists with a powerful new methodology for defining and verifying biological networks, has opened for submissions from the global scientific community.
The Challenge uses a crowd-verification process to fine-tune and verify sophisticated biological networks. The resulting models represent the current status of scientific knowledge as related to a given set of networks, and provide a framework by which other biological networks can be visualized, expanded and verified.
"The Network Verification Challenge is uniquely placed to help us generate accurate, comprehensive and reliable models of biological networks," said Professor Martin Hofmann-Apitius, head, department of bioinformatics at the Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing SCAI, which developed part of the online platform that Challenge participants use to work on the networks.
He further said, "This is an exciting new approach to network verification which has a number of implications, including the potential to provide an accelerated mechanism for the dissemination and validation of scientific knowledge, better maps of disease and improvements to therapeutic discovery and development."
The Challenge is part of the sbv Improver project (systems biology verification: Industrial Methodology for PROcess VErification in Research), a collaborative initiative by IBM Research and Philip Morris International R&D, which is designed to develop a robust, transparent and practical process for assessing complex scientific data. Within this framework, it also provides an approach for the verification of systems biology data and thus contributes in a variety of ways to improvements in human healthcare and other scientific and industrial areas.

Florida did this years ago when they got tired of bama shite. They can have an ad hoc committee up on two days notice. The big 12 is looking at Florida state coach bty a former LSU coach. The move of Florida LSU and Florida State to the big twelve ends the SEC. Unless we are going to continue to let bama and their redneck mafia piss on us and tell us it is raining. it is time to geaux. If they want to stop it then serious an real concessions will have to be made. There will never be a better time than now as we are a consistent top ten team with huge national recognition. Everyone knows LSU . At some point in time things reach a tipping point and that time is now. Lets get a committee formed so at least they know we have had enough of this bull shite.
quote:Because committees are a sure-fire method of getting jack squat accomplished.
Lets get a committee formed so at least they know we have had enough of this bull shite.
It is seriously time to view our options and look at leaving the SEC
12 team playoff would be outstanding. The bowl system was so much better back in the day where you actually had traditional New Year's Day bowls. It actually meant something back then. Way to many teams are involved in bowls today vs how it was back in the day. Purdue at 6-6 from a down big ten going to bowl explains the shitty reality.
This thread is so stupid.

Creamy Turkey Cleanup RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 2 2
Julia Hainsworth first made this mostly microwaved medley when she was home on maternity leave with her third child. "I needed to rely on quick-and-easy recipes that were kid-friendly, too," she writes from Mt. Morris, New York. "We all loved this dish, and it cleared up a bunch of turkey leftovers.
- 1-1/2 cups uncooked instant rice
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups cubed cooked turkey
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the broccoli, carrot and water. Cover and microwave on high for 2-4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Stir in turkey, soup, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and rice. Microwave, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until heated through, stirring twice. Yield: 4 servings.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested in a 1,100-watt microwave.

On my drives through the extreme NW corner of Riverside State Park, I'm seeing turkeys on private land just outside of the park. Where Pine Bluff Road meets Carlson Road (west of the Nine Mile Dam), there are small groups of turkeys in the open field downhill from Carlson Road. I saw 3 hens at 60 yards, then saw two gobblers off in the distance about 200 yards in different places on different afternoons this week. I don't know the landowner and don't have time to hunt (due to other commitments), but perhaps others could take advantage of this predicament. I used my crow call on them from the road, but the turkeys could care less and just proceeded to waddle slowly away.
The manager of the Fairchild AFB Sports Range is now seeing a FEW turkeys in his favorite canyon south of Cheney. He tried circling around a gobbler that was with a few hens, but couldn't connect.

"I have a philosophy degree, which has really come in handy in my life," says Weirdo Records owner Angela Sawyer. "Especially when I'm sitting here watching some guy drool snot on a $50 record."
We're sitting in Sawyer's bedroom (until now, the command central of Weirdo) under clip lamps attached to her loft bed. Half-packed boxes of records and CDs — Italian soundtrack imports, rare noise records, field recordings — sit piled in clusters all over the room and against the walls. Outside in the living room, which Sawyer shares with a houseful of roommates, pine record shelves line the walls and the floorspace, a futon and TV buried in the middle like newly discovered pieces at an archæological dig.
But it's all on its way out. Beginning this week, Sawyer is doing the unthinkable: expanding. She's moving the whole operation from her Somerville home to a Central Square storefront she's secured at 844 Mass Ave, and she's celebrating with two weekend-long moving parties. (The second one is this weekend and open to all volunteers — ahem.) It's the beginning of what seems like, in this rickety economy, a swashbuckling adventure of danger and peril. But if anyone's fit for it, it's Sawyer.
"Maybe six months will go by and we'll fall apart and I'll be arrested or something like that," she says. "But it's a fantastic thing to try."
Weirdo Records has so far enjoyed a special place in its tiny corner of the crumbling music industry. Begun as a rare-finds Web-site store she started with $200 and no HTML skills, Weirdo eventually sprouted regular business hours (1-9 pm), and it's been operating out of her house for about a year now, serving brave walk-ins — "20 or 30 regulars" — as well as buyers around the world at her encyclopedic Web store. She adds about 90 new titles every week; on-line, she writes descriptions for every item in stock. She has about 7000 titles in the shop and another 10,000 in her personal collection. (The line between these tends to be a little hazy.)
Sawyer had a running start in the business. Since she moved here from Denver in 1990, she's worked at a best-of list of indie shops — In Your Ear, Cheapo, Looney Tunes, Pipeline, Twisted Village — as well as performing in strange bands from all across the board. (Right now she's fronting a hardcore band called Exusamwa and a duo called Duck That who play only game calls.) The whole time, she's been building a personal reputation and style. "Record collecting is really about building your own æsthetic. Record stores are supposed to be the place you can go and work on that part of your head."
Eventually, Sawyer — who maintains a friendly kind of Western drawl and a laid-back cadence to her speech left over from growing up in Denver — became the kind of person from whom people will buy records wherever they see her. "I've sold people records while I was in the bathroom line at a show. I've had people come over to the house at like 7 am looking for a new record. People have known me for a while and know I'll hold onto stuff for them." Her catalogue is huge but selective — these are all deep, curious cuts on the noise, experimental, and international side of things.

What is in this article?:
- Corralling Coaxial Couplers and Adapters
- Focusing On PIM
Adapters and couplers are passive components that help channel signals through high-frequency systems.
| Download this article in .PDF format
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable.
Microwave/RF adapters and couplers are designed to transfer high-frequency signals between components as invisibly as possible. Adapters may be needed because some components are terminated with different types of coaxial connectors. In some cases, it may be necessary to transfer signals from components with waveguide terminations to components with coaxial fittings.

• Coupler Ranges 0.5 To 8.0 GHz
• Coupler Directs 2 To 18 GHz
• Coupler Links 10 to 40 GHz
In all cases, the goal of an adapter is to transfer signals from one component to another with as little electrical "presence" as possible—that is, with low insertion loss, low return loss or voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and even low passive intermodulation (PIM) distortion. Couplers provide a somewhat different function: tapping into a single line and sampling a small-level version of the signal for testing or other purposes. In both cases, adapters and couplers can be specified by mechanical as well as by electrical parameters, with reliability one of the characteristics that should never be overlooked.
Coaxial adapters are specified according to the coaxial connectors they fit and, in the case of waveguide-to-coaxial adapters, the waveguide and connector sizes they fit. Because many coaxial connectors are defined by gender, such as male or female, some adaptors provide gender-changing connections between connectors of a similar product type. Examples include SMA adapters (DC to 18 GHz) or 3.5-mm-connector adapters (DC to 26.5 GHz) with female connector on one end and male connector on the other end.
Because waveguide impedances are typically much higher than the typical 50-Ω characteristic impedance of a high-frequency coaxial connector, transitions from waveguide to coaxial connectors can occur in different ways. They can happen via what are known as resistively matched transitions (where the waveguide dimensions are shaped to make the impedances of the waveguide and coaxial interface equal at their interface) and mode-matched transitions (where smooth transitions are made from the high impedance of a waveguide termination to the 50-Ω impedance of the connector interface).
Adapters with waveguide flanges may be specified in terms of EIA rectangular waveguide (WR) size, such as WR90 (8.20 to 12.40 GHz) or WR62 (12.40 to 18.00 GHz)—or their equivalent flange sizes, such as UG135/U and UG419/U, respectively—and the coaxial connector (e.g., an SMA connector) at the other end. For any waveguide-to-coaxial adapter, care should be taken to protect the face of the waveguide flange from damage or debris, which could prevent close surface-to-surface mounting between the two waveguide flanges.
In terms of performance, different adapters are compared by their frequency ranges, insertion loss, return loss or VSWR, and maximum power-handling capability. The frequency range of an adapter is very much a function of the physical dimensions of its terminations, such as its coaxial connectors and/or connectors and waveguide flanges. The quality and the performance of the coaxial connectors in an adapter depend highly on the materials used for the connectors (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, or gold-plated brass).
For rectangular waveguide flanges, the size numbers denote the usable frequency ranges. Small numbers represent higher frequencies, like WR12 for 60 to 90 GHz, WR10 for 75 to 110 GHz, and WR8 for 90 to 140 GHz. Coaxial connectors with smaller dimensions provide higher-frequency operating ranges, with some common high-frequency connectors defined by dimensions of 7 mm (DC to 18 GHz), 3.5 mm (DC to 34 GHz), 2.92 mm (DC to 40 GHz), 2.4 mm (DC to 50 GHz), and 1.85 mm (DC to 65 GHz).
The power-handling capability of an adapter, which is related to the operating frequency, is usually limited by the power-handling capability of the coaxial connectors (and the power-handling capability of the connectors' center conductors), since the waveguide ports can typically handle higher power levels than the coaxial ports. The insertion loss and return loss (VSWR) of an adapter can be affected by the quality of the mechanical interfaces.
For adapters with a coaxial connector, a decrease in the outer-conductor diameter results in an increase in the connector's usable upper-frequency limit. A connector's performance can also be impacted by the addition of different dielectric material materials in the air spaces around the connector's conductors and the quality of the interface for the connector's mated pair. Variations in the mechanical dimensions of the conductors, for example, can result in variations in electrical performance from one set of adapters to the next.
For critical applications, such as in measurement systems with vector network analyzers (VNAs) requiring phase and amplitude stability and repeatability, coaxial adapters are often manufactured to MIL-STD-348 test-grade requirements to ensure stable phase-matched performance. In addition, applications such as in test systems may call for adapters/connectors to be specified in terms of the number of expected connects/disconnects and their relationship to the operating lifetime of the adapters.
Coaxial adapters may sometimes be used to mate a lesser-known connector interface to a more commonly known connector. One example is the recently released line of ZMA-to-SMA coaxial adapters from Pasternack Industries, which are suited for commercial, industrial, and military applications from DC to 18 GHz (Fig. 1). To simplify integration in systems, they are supplied in three- and four-lug keyed attachment designs. The ZMA side of the adapter features a bayonet-style coupling nut that is similar to a BNC connector, allowing connections by hand without need of a torque wrench.
The adapters are available in a number of different configurations, including SMA female to ZMA male, SMA female, to ZMA female, and SMA male to ZMA male three- and four-lug styles. The RoHS-compliant adapters are constructed with passivated stainless-steel bodies and gold-played beryllium-copper (BeCu) contacts to minimize insertion loss and return loss.

Your doctor may recommend no treatment and regular monitoring if:
If you choose this watch-and-wait approach, you'll likely need periodically scheduled tests to monitor your blood-calcium levels and bone density.
Surgery is the most common treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism and provides a cure in about 95 percent of all cases. A surgeon will remove only those glands that are enlarged or have a tumor (adenoma).
If all four glands are affected, a surgeon will likely remove only three glands and perhaps a portion of the fourth — leaving some functioning parathyroid tissue.
Surgery may be done as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to go home the same day. In such cases, the surgery can be done through very small incisions in the neck, and you receive only local anesthetics.
Complications from surgery aren't common. Risks include:
Medications to treat hyperparathyroidism include the following:
Calcimimetics. A calcimimetic is a drug that mimics calcium circulating in the blood. The drug may trick the parathyroid glands into releasing less parathyroid hormone. This drug is sold as cinacalcet (Sensipar).
The Food and Drug Administration approved cinacalcet to treat hyperparathyroidism caused by chronic kidney disease or parathyroid cancer. Some doctors may prescribe it to treat primary hyperparathyroidism, particularly if surgery hasn't successfully cured the disorder or a person isn't a good candidate for surgery.
The most commonly reported side effects of cinacalcet are joint and muscle pain, diarrhea, nausea, and respiratory infection.
Hormone replacement therapy. For women who have gone through menopause and have signs of osteoporosis, hormone replacement therapy may help bones retain calcium. This treatment doesn't address the underlying problems with the parathyroid glands.
Prolonged use of hormone replacement therapy can increase the risk of blood clots and breast cancer. Work with your doctor to evaluate the risks and benefits to help you decide what's best for you.
Some common side effects of hormone replacement therapy include breast pain and tenderness, dizziness, and headache.

Wow, this book is really coming along. It is very difficult to choose which cases to include. I can include some at great length, but there is no way to include all of the people I know of that have been adversely affected by the DMCA. That would be... wow, huge.
I'd be interested in anyone's input at this point as to what to include. I'm taking yet another copyright class this semester.
I met with David today for 4 hours. He's great! We talked about the good old days in comp sci. He had such funny stories about Brazil. I'm glad he's back, even if it is only for another month. I hope to visit with him at least one more time before he leaves but I'm starting a new contract on monday. He helped me get a little focus and peer reviewed some of the book.
Wow this tech writing thing really worked out for me. My last job was not so great. I can say that, now that I quit. Mark left and they moved me from QA to Customer Support??? Like, whose going to find the defects now? But, since I quit on Friday, I got a contract in 3 days making substantially more money. It's only one month and will carry me until the end of the semester so I can take the time I need to finish this book! woot
Finally got Nicole to go rock climbing with me tonight! She's so afraid of heights. I said to her, how will we ever be able to go skiing or skydiving or even horseback riding if you don't get over your fear of heights! Her response was, you'll have to get Tess to go with you.
She's encouraging me to go out and meet more people, maybe even meeting and going on... a date? Like I have time for that! I know she's just trying to get out of doing these sport-like things!
Well, gotta get back to the book.

Light set up
I am rebuilding my 29gl aquarium that used to be planted. I originally bought ahsupply BrightKit (http://www.ahsupply.com/36-55w.htm) to use 5500K-6700K lightbulbs with better output. Now I have a newborn in the house and I'd like to keep only a few low-light easy plants like java ferns and anubises. I have a few questions:
1. Can I reuse my 5500K 55W bulb or is it going to be too much light and lead to algae growth?
2. Can I reuse this bulb just for a shorter periods of time (like 3-4 hours - I don't need my tank lit all the time - it is in a room that is fairly light anyways)
3. Should I just buy a new regular light fixture? If yes, how much light do I need for just a few low-light plants?
4. If you are familiar with this kit, is there another bulb that fits and might work better for low-light plants?
algae growth comes from an incorrect balance of nutrients and/or too much light.
with that set up and your plants. you should be fine.
I would still have the lights on between 6-8 hours just for your plants sake and viewing sake. no more than that though.
Room lights will be okay for however long you want, they dont penetrate the water enough to do anything.

Thank you! This was very helpful!!!
If the 55 watt lamp turns out to be too much, you can swap in anything from 18 watts up. The socket is the same and the A&H kits use electronic ballasts that are capable of adjusting to the lamp used.

Sounds great. Would something like work: http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-20669...ref=pd_cp_hi_3
The only thin g that bothers me is that bulbs with smaller wattage are not as long size-wise - wouldn't they light up only part of the aquarium? Does it need to be full spectrum?
Do you know if any of the regular aquarium lights work with this setup?

Good Question: Who's Getting Paid by Crime Stoppers?
We show their faces on TV all the time. They're the criminals, wanted by police - all you have to do is call in a tip to Crime Stoppers. You don't even have to leave your name. But, how does it work? And, who's getting paid by Crime Stoppers?
The men and women featured on the Crime Stoppers website are wanted for everything from robbery to drugs to identity theft. All you have to do is call them in and you could get that cold, hard cash in your pocket.
"Our rewards range all the way up to 1,000 dollars," said Eric Green, president of Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest. It's an organization made up of private individuals, dedicated to finding criminals and solving crime. The media helps, but their best tips come from the community.
Last year, Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest received 795 tips, solving 33 cases. Tipsters received more than $3,400 in cash rewards. Who got that money? Not even Crime Stoppers knows for sure.
"They don't have to give their name or their identity at all," said Green. "They're identified with a code name or a code number, a name that they made up or something."
And, that whole "you don't have to leave your name to be eligible for a cash reward" thing isn't just a tagline. Crime Stoppers doesn't know the names of its tipsters and won't reveal how they pay those nameless, faceless crime-fighters.
"That's a secret," Green said.
But, they do have a pretty good idea the type of people they're paying. A lot of those tipsters are likely to be featured on Crime Stoppers themselves.
"That's the lake, that's the river, that's the water we're fishing in," said Green.
In many cases, it's criminals, turning on each other for a little bit of cash in their pockets.
"We know that a lot of our tipsters are not angels," says Spokane Sheriff's Sgt. Dave Reagan. "Some of them are going after the reward so they can get that next dose of drugs. That's okay. If that 50 dollars or 100 dollars solves one of our significant crimes, we don't care about the tipster's motive."
And if the Crime Stoppers program proves one thing, it's that there's no honor among thieves.
"We've had moms rat out their sons and daughters. We've had brothers rat out their sisters. Ex-wives, ex-girlfriends are an excellent source of information for law enforcement," said Sgt. Reagan.
In the end, as long as crimes are solved, Crime Stoppers says it doesn't really matter who's doing the cash-inspired tattling. And, the system - with half a million arrests nationwide - seems to be working.

CHAI aims to create new technologies for personalised, pervasive interaction.
We are building the theoretical foundations, technical infrastructure and new
interfaces to support new forms of interaction to improve our lives in many contexts.
We are creating systems and new interfaces that address central human needs.
So, for example, one strand of our research creates new systems that elderly
people can use effectively.
One of the core areas for our work is creating personalised lifelong learning systems,
matching a Grand Challenge recognised by peak bodies such as the
USA National Academy of Engineering
the CRA Computing Research Association, USA
United Kingdom Computing Research Committee,
and Microsoft's 2020 vision for HCI
We are working to create new advanced learning technologies for lifelong learning,
with the goal to enable people to learn precisely when and
where they need to, with learning resources delivered just for them, taking account
of their existing knowledge and preferred ways of learning.
Another dimension of CHAI
research is in novel pervasive computing interfaces.
Our tabletop research is creating the interaction of the future, so that we
will be ready to make the best of touch interaction as it becomes increasingly
We are creating pervasive appliances that are embedded in the
environment to serve very specific functions.
These work towards creating new ways to support people in their most important,
everyday activities, by exploiting increasing availability of low cost computers
that are connected to the net.
Connecting our personalisation research with new ways to interact, we are exploring
new ways to make use of personal carried devices, like mobile phones, to interact
with other devices in the environment and to manage personalisation.
CHAI has many interesting projects available for Honours students.
We tailor these to meet the particular background, expertise and aspirations of the individual student.
Look at our project pages for the broad areas of our work and indications of our projects.

Post only one name of a beast you want for the 3 3/4" collection that's different from everyone else's that is listed below.
Your post should have one beast's name, and if need be it's source or description.
I want:
The Sando Aqua Monster, from TPM made like a big Shogun Warrior Godzilla toy of old.
The Aqua Monster figure should be able to eat Gungans (especially JarJar) and you can open up a hidden hatch in the figure's stomach to get your figures out again.
I'd make the Sando about 14-18" tall (underscale yes, but reasonable for retail). Kids that like dinosaurs and the likes may appreciate this and help it refresh interest in SW.
It should feature open (cheap) packaging and it would look great with the Action Fleet Bongo Sub.

Good news for angioedema patients - Dyax and CVie Therapeutics will develop and commercialize Kalbitor (ecallantide)
Singapore: Dyax and CVie Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Lee's Pharmaceutical Holdings, announced a strategic partnership for the development and commercialization of Kalbitor (ecallantide) in the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) and other angioedema indications in China, Hong Kong and Macau. Kalbitor is currently marketed in the us for the treatment of acute attacks of HAE in patients 16 years-of-age and older.
Under the terms of the exclusive license agreement, Dyax will receive an upfront payment and is eligible to receive future development, regulatory and sales milestones. Dyax is also eligible to receive royalty on net product sales.
CVie is solely responsible for all costs associated with development, regulatory activities, and the commercialization of Kalbitor in China, Hong Kong and Macau. Additionally, CVie will purchase drug product from Dyax on a cost-plus basis for commercial supply.
Mr Gustav Christensen, president and chief executive officer, Dyax. "If approved, Kalbitor would become the first novel therapy available for HAE in China, where presently only steroids are used. We are pleased to have secured a new partnership for Kalbitor in this region and look forward to working with CVie toward its commercialization."
Dr Benjamin Li, chief executive officer of CVie, said that, "As a novel therapeutic for acute HAE attacks, we anticipate that Kalbitor will allow us to provide a far more comprehensive disease management solution than is currently offered to HAE patients in China."
