The product and the imagery are always in fierce competition with any ManiaMania campaign. In this campaign, as with all the previous, you get swept up in the mood; the mystical, sensual mood. And as you're being swept away on the white-water rush of dreamy imagery, your eyes scramble to fixate on the jewellery and accessories that should be the true stars of the campaign.
The reality is that both are worthy of your attention: the tusk necklaces that hang across Dree Hemingway's bare breats, the brass and silver-plated snake rings that slither around her fingers, the Witchcraft-inspired crystal baubles and the Wiccan, pagan and alchemical symbols. And Dree herself, as photographed by Stacey Mark.
The mix of inspirations is, as always with the brand, vast and revelatory; a managed chaos of everything from '60s cults and communes to '70s rock'n'roll, the battle of hedonism vs spirituality to the opposing force of Apollo and Dionysus.
Titled Modern Utopians, it's a collection guaranteed to satisfy the brand's cult-like following of clientele. Indulge in the full campaign of Dree Hemingway for ManiaMania (themaniamania.com) at the gallery above.

Group Visit FAQs
We are bringing a group to the museum; what can they do?
The museum provides Discovery Guides for groups to explore the museum on their own and offers education programs for schools. For information on visiting the museum and these self-guided materials, call Visitor Services at 785.864.4450.
For a more in-depth independent exploration of the galleries with your group, a series of exhibit related activities suitable for middle school and above can be found under Educator Resources.
For information on programs available for organized school groups, visit our Schools section of the website or call Public Education at 785.864.4173. These programs are available during the fall and spring terms. Please plan to schedule education programs at least three weeks in advance.
If your group plans to visit the exhibit galleries but doesn't want a program, contact Visitor Services at 785.864.4450 to schedule your visit. The museum appreciates advanced notice for groups of 12 or more.
What school programs are available?
Public Education offers a variety of science programs for school groups, ranging from fossils and geology to DNA and particles in the subatomic world. There are two kinds of programs:
- gallery activities that use select exhibits to investigate a particular topic
- hands-on workshops that are activity based and take place in our classroom
Our School Programs page has program descriptions and fee information. All education programs are 45 minutes in duration. If booking multiple slots of the same program on the same day, we schedule each program for an hour to reflect a 45 minute program and the 15 minutes required between programs to clean up and re-set material. If booking different programs on the same day, one hour is scheduled between different themed programs for switch over. If you have any questions about our school programs, please contact Public Education at 785.864.4173.
Do you offer anything for high school groups?
Several school programs are suitable for high school. They include Quarks: Ups, Downs and the Universe, Cartoon Guide to Energy, Rock Clocks, DNA Discovery, Dinosaur Discovery and Walking with Dinosaurs. Visit the Schools page for more information or call Public Education at 785.864.4173.
Also available are several Discovery Guides suitable for high school and adults, and a series of exhibit related activites suitable for middle school and above can be found under Educator Resources.
What do school programs cost?
Gallery activities are $60 per program, and hands-on workshops are $5 per student. For workshops, one adult chaperone (including teachers) is free for every five students (paraprofessionals are free and are not included in this count). Please note: no additional adults or siblings are allowed in the program area.
How do I book a school program?
Review our school programs or download our programs brochure to select a theme that best fits your needs, and determine your preferred visit date(s). Any program can be booked for any day Tuesday through Friday during the school year (dependent on instructor availability). Please note: if booking multiple slots of the same program on the same day, we schedule each program for an hour to reflect the 45 minute program and the 15 minutes required between programs for clean up. If booking different programs on the same day, one hour is scheduled between different themed programs for switch over.
Contact Public Education at 785.864.4173 to check availability of dates and to book your program. Please have the following information ready before you call:
- preferred visit date and alternative date(s)
- grade of students
- number of students and adult chaperones (1 adult per 5 students) including teachers
- school mailing information
Bookings must be made at least three weeks in advance. Booking begins in early August. We recommend calling early as many dates fill up several months in advance. Due to high demand we cannot hold dates.
Please let us know at the time of booking if you have any students with special needs. Feel free to contact us for more information, advice on popular programs or scheduling suggestions for large groups.
Can you hold dates until I decide which one works best?
Due to the high demand, we cannot save dates. We recommend booking early as many dates fill up several months in advance.
Is there a minimum and maximum number of participants for a program?
A gallery activity can accommodate up to 25 people (students and adult chaperones), and requires a minimum of 15 participants. We limit gallery activities to a maximum of 25 people to ensure that the entire group can see the items we are discussing, facilitate effective movement through the galleries, and maintain adequate space for the movement of museum staff and other visitors through the space.
For school workshops, there is a 15 student minimum and a 30 student maximum; fee includes one adult chaperone (including teachers) for every five students. Please note: no additional adults or siblings are allowed in the program area.
Typically large groups will divide themselves into two or three groups and rotate between a workshop, gallery activity, self-guided tour of the galleries with Discovery Guides, visit to the Spencer Museum of Art, or lunch.
What is the difference between a gallery activity and school workshop?
We offer two types of programs for school groups. Gallery activities take place in the museum gallery space and use select exhibits to investigate a particular topic. We limit gallery activities to a maximum of 25 people (students and adults) to ensure that the entire group can see the items we are discussing, facilitate effective movement through the galleries, and maintain adequate space for the movement of museum staff and other visitors through the space.
School workshops are hands-on activities that take place in our classroom. The classroom can accommodate up to 30 students. The format of these programs requires considerable preparation and set up time, and we require a minimum of 15 students and have a maximum of 30 students. We limit the number of adults to one for every five students. Please note: no additional adults or siblings are allowed in the program area.
Can I book multiple or different workshops on the same day?
Only one workshop can run at any given time. However, a workshop and a gallery activity can run simultaneously depending on instructor availability. If you book multiple sessions of the same program, we schedule each program for an hour to reflect a 45 minute program and the 15 minutes required between each program to allow for clean up. If you want to book two different workshops on the same day, a minimum of one hour must be scheduled between programs to allow sufficient time to switch over the classroom.
Who teaches your programs?
School programs are developed and taught by our museum education professionals with science backgrounds and years of experience teaching in informal learning environments.
How do I pay for a school program?
Program fees can be paid by check (made out to the KU Natural History Museum), credit card (MasterCard or Visa) or by cash on the day of the program. Payment must be collected in advance and given directly to the Public Education staff member that greets your group during check in. Receipts are available upon request.
What should we know about parking, lunches, etc.?
Groups that book school programs receive a confirmation letter with details of their scheduled program(s) and a designated check-in time, as well as policies and other important information for planning their visit in the School Programs: Checklist. You may also find helpful information in our Visit section.
Are there scholarships available for school programs?
We have limited scholarship funding available to cover the costs of fees for school programs. Application forms are available for download on the School Information page and can be mailed or faxed back to us. If you would like a copy of the scholarship application form mailed to you, please call 785.864.4173. Typically we consider scholarships for schools with a minimum of 50 percent of their students eligible for the free and reduced lunch program. Please note: programs cannot be scheduled prior to scholarship review.
Can a museum staff member come to my school?
Unfortunately, due to limited resources we do not offer off-site education programs.
Can I book a program for a group with students of different grades or ages?
Unfortunately, due to limited resources we are not able to offer programs specifically designed for multi-age groups. For school programs, all participants must be in the same grade.
Can siblings accompany parent chaperones?
Only students on the field trip are allowed in the programming areas. Parents with other children are welcome to explore the museum galleries independently during scheduled education programs.
Are there special items we can purchase for students?
The museum gift shop, Fossilogics, has a wide selection of museum souvenirs, educational toys, games, books and more. Themed grab bags can be made for your group at a cost of $2 each. Please call Fossilogics at 785.864.4450 to order or for more information.
If we are taking school programs, do we also have to make a contribution?
The museum has a requested contribution of $4 for children and $7 for adults, but does not charge admission. Typically, groups that book school programs as part of their visit do not make an additional museum contribution unless they are able to do so. Groups that do not book programs are encouraged to make a contribution as outlined above.
Contributions to the museum can be made at the Visitor Services information desk at the main entrance of the museum. Payment can be cash, credit card or check (made out to the KU Natural History Museum). Visitor Services can provide receipts for contributions upon request.

Exceptional user range
The shape is a widestyle design that comes from the Evos. The main feature is the four fin setup, where the larger fins are in the front. The bottom shape around the fin area is a simple monoconcave.
On the water
The Starboard Quad is a board that is very competitive in early planing and it's pretty fast in a straight line. The nose is quite low, which makes the ride smooth in sensation. This gives lots of easy, natural control even in strong winds, which boosts the board's wind range. You can use 4.2/4.0 sails without a problem. The other big advantage: an incredible upwind bite. This simply optimizes the ability to jump in side onshore conditions and your time spent riding waves. When surfing, it is forgiving with your weight placements and the Quad is actually not a technical board - even though it may need some getting used to for some.
It is the board that generates the most speed in the wave, especially when you're carving multiple turns. The board is also very good at drawing out longer turns and keeping lots of control. The amount of grip available on the turn (both on the bottom and the top turn) and those through foam is simply impressive. The rail to rail section is very good, that allows for a very radical cut back. Note that pivoting at the end of a bottom turn does not work, the board needs to ride off the rails to turn at its best.
Superbly at ease on its rails, maneuverable and fast, Starboard offers here a quad that is not as reserved for the specialist as one could think. The board proved to have a very wide sail range and also adaptable to a very wide range of conditions, from side onshore to side offshore where it was always very effective. You can even boost the maneuverability with some smaller fin options.

Family: Ictaluridae, Bullhead Catfishes view all from this family
Description The black bullhead, Ameiurus melas, is a species of bullhead catfish. Like other bullhead catfish, it has the ability to thrive in waters that are low in oxygen, brackish, turbid and/or very warm. It also has barbels located near its mouth, a broad head, spiny fins and no scales. It can be identified from other bullheads as the barbels are black, and it has a tan crescent around the tail. Its caudal fin is truncate (squared off at the corners). Like virtually all catfish, it is nocturnal, preferring to feed at night, although young will feed during the day. It generally does not get as large as the channel or blue catfish; with average adult weights are in the one to two-pound range, and almost never as large as five pounds. It has an average length of 6-10 inches, making it smaller than other bullheads. It is typically black or dark brown on the dorsal side of its body and yellow or white on the ventral side.
Like most of the bullheads (and even the cousin flathead catfish), it has a squared tail fin, which is strikingly different from the forked tail of channel and blue catfish. It is a bottom-rover fish, meaning it is well-adapted for bottom living. It is typically dorso-ventrally flattened, and has a slightly humped back. Its color will depend on the area where it is taken, but it generally is darker than brown or yellow bullheads. It can be distinguished from a flathead in that the black bullhead's lower lip does not protrude past the upper lip. Distinguishing it from the brown bullhead is a bit more difficult, depending on the area where they are caught, but a distinguishing detail between the two includes a nearly smooth pectoral spine on the black bullhead with the brown being strongly barbed. The anal fin also has a gray base, and the tail also has a pale bar. Also, the brown bullhead will generally have 21 to 24 soft rays through its anal fin as opposed to the black bullhead's 17 to 21. The brown bullhead is also typically mottled brown and green on top instead of the darker black. Both the black and brown bullheads can easily be distinguished from the yellow bullhead as the yellow bullhead has white barbels under its mouth.
Dimensions Up to 17" (43 cm); 2 3/4 lbs (1.2 kg).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Texas, Eastern Canada, Western Canada.

Lots of desktop applications are moving to datacenters to take advantage of virtualization. Many people view desktop virtualization and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) as an edge solution geared more toward simple Windows-based, Office-like applications. But many hard-core engineering apps run on UNIX, with the misperception being that they aren't appropriate for VDI.
So why not VDI for hard-core engineering applications?
In this white paper, industry analyst Brian Madden brings his easy-reading style to explore why that hasn't happened yet for UNIX and LINUX-based engineering applications. The white paper highlights recent changes in technology that make desktop virtualization of graphically intensive engineering applications worth a look.

CB Antenna Accessories
Your CB antenna is the most important component in your CB radio installation. We have a huge selection of CB antenna accessories to help you get your antenna installed, tuned, and ready to handle the elements. When it comes to mounts, no one has more options than CB World! Many of the options don't even require drilling or otherwise modifying your vehicle.
If you are just looking for the essentials, you will need a mount, coax, and an SWR meter for your antenna. It is important to remember to make sure that your coax has the right connectors for your mount. Most of our antennas and accessories are threaded either 3/8" x 24 or NMO. It should be clear from the picture and/or description which they are. If you have any doubts or questions, please let us know! And always remember to tune your CB antenna! If you don't have an SWR meter, we carry several brands.
We also have all the optional components you may need, including springs, quick disconnects, and replacement parts like ferrules, whips, and set screws. If you would like more advice, please see our guide to choosing the best CB antenna for your specific needs.

In his column in today's Globe, Kevin Cullen makes the very reasonable point that not all Boston firefighters are bad eggs. But he also says this: "Blaming most firefighters for the state of the department is like blaming American soldiers for the mess in Iraq."
Really? Because from what I've been reading in the Globe, it seems like the BFD brass are trying to whip the "bad systems" Cullen mentions into shape, while the firefighters' union--led by Ed Kelly--is fighting to preserve the status quo. Which doesn't seem to parallel Iraq at all.

|Dear Sir. . .I thank you once again for all the wonderful information you have given me. Even though the original bow is gone it will be an interesting story about the one in the case now. The lower bow is still very nice and has retained most of its "hair". The upper bow is definitely metal and has lost almost all of its "hair". But now at least I have some history to put with the fiddle. My daughter has it now but some day it will go on to my grand daughter who is now 21. Thank you again so much.
Answers by Expert:
I can answer questions on violin, viola, cello and bass making, repair and maintenance as well as supply general violin value ranges and information on instrument makers assuming the instrument's as labeled. I don't give values for modern makers as many of these modern makers are yet unknown to me. I can only give you feedback based on what information you give me, and no authority on the instrument can know every maker's work that ever lived. I have access to many books on makers and auction prices on over 25,000 makers, as well as having 36 years of experience with selling and appraising violins. Without having the instrument in hand, any estimate over the internet is just a guess as the label inside an instrument is more often wrong than right, so just having that information is not very useful. Pictures can sometimes be helpful but only so much, as the "feel" of the instrument along with small clues in workmanship and varnish cannot be seen in pictures. Any pictures should be high quality close-ups of the top and back. Additional photos of the front and treble side of the neck are also useful. It is always best to have an instrument seen in person at a violin shop that does appraisals. I can also provide advice on bows, rosin, strings and other string instrument accessories. As I am now retired, I have no bias towards selling anything; I only wish to share my knowledge and experience by providing information for those that may be getting confused by misinformation, misdirection or conflicting statements. (While I have seen many thousands of instruments and have performed numerous appraisals; if I have not evaluated an instrument in person, any information I set forth in an opinion is just that, an opinion based solely on what you have provided. Thusly, no financial decision should be based on that opinion, but rather, further investigation should be performed by having the instrument examined in person.)
I am a retired violin maker and repairman with 35 years experience having worked in Chicago and Maryland at 5 different violin shops and music stores including the first violin repairman at William Harris Lee in Chicago, the head repairman at Weavers Violins in Maryland, and in my own shop of 25 years. I have made 160 instruments and have restored countless professional level and student grade instruments. I am an accomplished violinist having performed with semi-professional as well as amateur groups although I haven't played for years and mostly stay away from questions about playing. I have taught violin making and restoration to about 20 students; three of which have gone on professionally and now have their own shops. I know violins from playing, selling, repairing, making and teaching.
Violin Society of America (VSA). American String Teachers Association (ASTA)
I graduated from the prestigious 4 year Chicago School of Violin Making in 1981 under Master Violin Maker Tschu Ho Lee. I also studied with violin maker Willis M. Gault in Washington DC from 1973-75, who was the former owner of the oldest known example of an instrument from the modern violin family, an Andreas Amati Viola.
Awards and Honors
2008 Chester Petranek Award for service to the music community. ASTA award for service. Top All Expert in Violin for 2014 and 2015.
Past/Present Clients
I have worked with many professional musicians from DC area Symphonies as well as players from all over the US.

Regarding Lance Tapley's latest effort on the Maine State Prison Board of Visitors (see "Secret, Unaccountable, and Co-opted," August 14), what he sometimes refers to as advocacy journalism might be more appropriately termed agenda journalism. My experience of his handling of such topics as these suggests that he shapes the story, and then he begins doing the reporting to suit his thesis or his bias. As I told him during a conversation with him, when it comes to those interviews never granted or the interviewees who hang up on him he has only himself to blame. Those individuals do not trust his willingness or his ability to inquire into all sides of a question, as mainstream journalists are required and committed to do. Now that he has seriously misattributed quotes to me, and imposed his own astonishingly uninformed conclusions upon his reporting of conversations with me, I see as others have that it does not help to speak plainly with him because he freely configures attributions to suit his agenda.
When Mr. Tapley asked, "Can you name one thing that the Board of Visitors has accomplished?" My answer certainly didn't feel awkward to me. It was simply, "I'll think about it." But he did not ask the question again. Upon reflection it should have been, "We have conveyed dozens of inmate and staff concerns to the administration, which we believe has led to a more open and flexible approach to policies and procedures at MSP. It is possible that many of these concerns would have never been conveyed, or as rigorously examined as they were by virtue of the Board's presence." But I don't think that would have helped much, because Mr. Tapley has an unassailable agenda.
As Mr. Tapley knows from all that I have said and written, the issue of closed meetings of the Board of Visitors relates substantively and directly to matters of safety and security of the facility and of individuals, both staff and inmates, within the facility, not to secrecy. He also knows that I freely admit to erring on the side of this safety and security issue — something I believe he should have reported. He should also have reported that this very issue of security versus transparency has been one of the critical and recurring areas of clarification articulated in our reports and in our July testimony before the Joint Standing Committee.
What I conveyed to Mr. Tapley regarding the Board's July 15 meeting was that, because this was private and direct and not a regularly scheduled meeting with the Commissioner, and because there was to be no public component to it, I did not realize that a public notice was necessary. I told him that Assistant Attorney General Diane Sleek advised me, after this meeting, that notice should have been published regardless. Had he included this, it would have served to explain rather than impugn.
I have never said the prison is terrible, referring to MSP, because I would never do that. I might have said prison (generally) is terrible, because it is, as I know from nearly ten years of being involved with a number of prisons around the country.

Not everyone has been happy with Science City since it opened at Union Station in 1999.
Earlier this summer the engineering firm of Burns and McDonnell gave more than a million dollars to reinvigorate the family friendly science center.
They also launched Battle of the Brains a chance for area students to design a new permanent exhibit for Science City and with it a $50,000 prize for their school. The winner?
Olathe North High School's winning entry explores how mechanical power is transformed into energy by running in giant hamster wheels to generate electricity. They call it Unplugged.
Burns & McDonnell CEO Greg Graves and Union Station CEO George Guastello discuss the Battle of the Brains competition which had schools across the metro competing to design the new Science City exhibit.

If you want to go "old school," Twin Peaks is excellent.If you like comedy, 30 Rock is hilarious.
By "cheesy" you mean the "best thing that ever appeared on network television", right?
It is a bit silly, I suppose. I like it because it is a unique mixture of silliness, mystery, and "otherworldlyness." If it wasn't for Twin Peaks, I'm not sure I would have discovered as quickly my love of coffee.Something my wife and I enjoyed a ton was Damages. I think there are 3 to 5 seasons available on Netflix, DVD, etc.
Quote from: judd stephens on November 23, 2013, 09:44:06 PMis it released on bluray yet ? Cause I do not watch TV.
The ShieldJustifiedLeverageThey are among my all time favorites...all are on blu-ray and DVD. All have great great characters, great performances, and are exceedingly well-written, esp. IMO, Justified.
I did try to go through half the first season..I just could not understand why people adore this show soo much...
I assume you already have watched Firefly?
Ya know...if you like SF, Falling Skies is pretty decent. Some episodes are kinda "meh" but the story arc is intriguing, especially the most recent season.

Guys I have searched and read as many posts as I could find on the two questions I have - theyve both been covered but I'm still not sure what to do.
1. Biting. My BLM is almost 10 weeks old. He pretty much bites constantly if anyone, including me, is messing with him unless he is absolutely worn out. I have tried rolling his lips in - he yipes pulls away and comes back for a harder bite. I have tried the tap on the nose - he pulls away and comes back harder. We've tried the yelp, the turn your back, etc etc. Bascially, I'm trying to figure out if I need to get more forceful or just let him be a puppy? I read that we've got to let them be puppies but also read that we don't want to let them learn a behavior we will have to train out of them later. I think somedays that I have made progress but then others it is really bad. Suggestions?
2. Noise. When I crate him while we are still awake, just for a break or whatever, he goes pretty well nuts. Up until today, I have pretty much just told everyone to ignore him and eventually he shuts up. However, today it seemed like even out of his crate he would yipe to get attention or whatever he wanted. the entire family knows to ignore him if he does this so trying not to let him get anything if he does it. I don't think he knows the command quiet yet so I'm just not sure where to go on this one either. Should I begin to hold his muzzle and say quiet? side note,if I do that he will nip at me when I let go...
Part of me says I just need to relax and let him be a puppy he will grow out of it - I just dont want to mess up.

I love sustainable fashion. I get really excited when I find out about vintage and thrift stores and new sustainable fabrics. This is why I am so excited to tell you about the new website ecouterre.com. This website disparages the stereotype that eco-friendly fashion is frumpy and fashionistas are frivolous. Furthermore, this site gives me green apparel and beauty inspiration.

Real customer reviews from BMW owners like you.
Your car takes in air and passes it into the engine through the air filter. (Some cars have more than one air filter.) The air filter takes out dust, leaves, and other debris from the air before passing it into the engine where it's mixed with fuel. The combination of air and fuel is essential for the car to run. If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it will not pass enough air into the engine, causing all sorts of problems (car may not start, engine may not run smoothly, etc.). If you use a reusable air filter (K&N), please specify that in the appointment notes, as you may just need a cleaning instead of a replacement. Unless you bought K&N filter, your car has a regular filter.

Facebook (FB) this afternoon reported Q1 revenue that topped analysts' estimates, and earnings per share in line with consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose 38%, year over year, to $1.46 billion, yielding EPS of 12 cents a share.
Analysts had been modeling $1.438 billion and 12 cents a share.
Note that some sources this evening were quoting not the 12-cent consensus, which is from FactSet, but instead a 13 cents Capital IQ estimate, which means some sources are reporting a 1-cent miss on EPS.
Monthly active mobile users rose 54%, year over year, to 751 million, the company said. That compares to total monthly active users of all variety of 1.11 billion, a 23% year-over-year rise.
Advertising revenue rose 43%, year over year, to $1.25 billion, the company said. Advertising from mobile specifically was 30% of total ad revenue, the company said, which would total $375 million, which is higher than some numbers that have been floated around of $360 million or so.
Excluding stock-based compensation costs, Facebook's adjusted operating margin dropped from 46% a year earlier to 39% in the quarter, it said.
Facebook management will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it on Facebook's investor relations Web site.
Facebook shares are up 57 cents, or 1.9%, at $28.
Update: Facebook shares have given up those gains and are now down 58 cents, or 2%, at $26.80. Trading as been especially volatile in this late session, and the shares have gone in and out of the green in the last ten minutes.
Update 2: Facebook shares seem now solidly back in the green, rising 30 cents, or 1%, to $27.73.
Update 3: Channing Smith of Capital Advisors Growth Fund was on CNBC this evening saying he is a "very happy with the numbers … this could be the next Google (GOOG), this could be the next Apple (AAPL). Management has finally put in place some things to monetize the asset." However, Smith said he is not inclined to add to his position in the stock at the moment.
"This could be a double or a triple if they can execute on the strategy, and that's a big IF right now, we have to see more evidence on that."
Correction: A prior version of this post mis-stated the dollar amount of mobile advertising revenue. It was $375 million, based on 30% of total ad revenue of $1.25 billion. The prior post also mis-stated Facebook's rate of ad revenue growth. It was 43%. My apologies for any confusion caused by the error.

Moog Rogue
The Moog Rogue could be the very definition of cheap Moog bass. It's a two-oscillator analog monosynth from Moog that, while having genuine and highly desirable Moog componentry, its design cut many corners to make this Moog's most compact and inexpensive offering of its time. In fact, the design was so simplified and streamlined that Moog licensed the design to Tandy/Radioshack who built the nearly identical Realistic Concertmate MG-1, which actually offers more features for less bucks! Incidentally the Rogue is also utilized as the Moog Taurus II Bass Synth with 1-1/2 octave bass pedals instead of the Rogue's 2-1/2 octave keyboard.
The Rogue could be considered a very scaled down version of the Prodigy (which was itself a very scaled down Minimoog) offering far fewer synthesis options and flexibility. Only two waveforms per oscillator (saw and square/rectangle) and, unlike the Prodigy, the oscillators must play the exact same waveform and pitch range, for a much more limited sonic range of synth tones. You cannot mix Sawtooth with Square/Rectangle waves on the Rogue, whereas you can on the Prodigy and Liberation. Another cutback is the single envelope generator that is shared by both the Filter and the Loudness Amp, offering just Attack, Release and a switchable Sustain mode (OFF, HALF, FULL). Still, the Rogue has a decent Moog filter with an external audio input.
Moog was definitely cutting costs with this model, making it the smallest, simplest and most basic synth in their line-up; yet still versatile and user-friendly enough to be used as the Taurus II Bass Pedal synth and an entry-level electronic tinkering Radioshack junkies music machine. To this day, the Rogue is still an inexpensive place to get good Moog sounds! It is used by Peter Gabriel, Add N To (X), 808 State, Stereolab, Mr. Oizo and KMFDM.
Here is a table highlighting some of the differences pointed out by a user between the MG-1 and Rogue.

I did Clark's deep clean this weekend on two guns.
1) My Browning Auto 5 is about 15 years old and I have put 30-50 boxes through it and the bore looks great after the deep clean.
2) My girlfriend's Model 870 Express® Shurshot Synthetic Turkey is two years old with only 30 shots through it. After cleaning it twice, there were two noticeable pits about four to five inches from the muzzle and 'machining' rings all along the bore.
Will this have a big negative effect on the pattern? Should I bring this to a gunsmith to fix it? If so, what will a gunsmith do to fix the inconsistencies?
Both guns have been cleaned, oiled and well maintained.
I tried to get out shooting yesterday, but there is still two feet of snow in the gravel pit and on the bush road where I go patterning. As a result, I cannot provide any patterning results yet. Our season opens on April 25, so I have a little time yet.

The sun rises in the East, sets in the West, and Tremblant ranks no. 1. That's 15 years running, if you're counting. (Tremblant is.) True, fewer U.S. readers make it to the snowy Laurentians north of Montreal. But those who do consistently rave about the charming French village squeezed between lake and mountain. "A beautiful place," says one reader. "I'd move there in a minute." Tremblant's rankings are stellar: no. 1 in Service, On-Mountain Food, Lodging and Dining; no. 2 in Après, Lifts and Off- Hill Activities. With its lively slopeside plazas connected by narrow shop-lined alleys, the original Tremblant sets the Eastern standard for planned ski villages. The richly Quebecois sense of place adds fun and culture, and highend hotels and restaurants rub shoulders with family-friendly digs, rowdy pubs and an affordable pizza joint. Hop a gondola and in minutes you're at the newer Versant Soleil base village, where you can try your luck at felted tables in the glitzy casino. If you're here to ski, Tremblant offers legit vert tumbling off both sides of a snowcapped peak with stirring views. "The scenery is awesome and the terrain is varied. Something for everyone," a reader writes. The knocks? It's a little colder up there, and Tremblant's annual 150 inches are merely sufficient. Americans can dodge the crowds if they study up on Canadian holiday schedules. And anyway, crowds are the price of popularity. —Joe Cutts
On-Hill Lunch » Go figure: All that great French food, and everyone wants to go to the new Mexican place, Puesta del Sol, which opened in April. But this is Tremblant, so it's hard to go wrong wherever you end up.
Après Spot » Quebec brewers are highly regarded by beer snobs everywhere. Try the micro-ales (and occasional lagers) at La Diable. The coolest club, Café d'Epoque, cranks up later in the night.
Family Activity » You could dump your kids in ski school and skip the bonding. Or you could take a lesson with them. It's a new program at the ski school. The kids get a lesson; the parent gets a lesson on how kids learn.

The vitamin A test measures the level of vitamin A in the blood.
Retinol test
A blood sample is needed.
Follow your health care provider's instructions about not eating or drinking anything for up to 24 hours before the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. These soon go away.
This test is done to check if you have too much or too little vitamin A in your blood. (These conditions are uncommon in the United States.)
Normal values range from 50 to 200 micrograms per deciliter.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

Kanen KM-92 Wooden In-Ear
" Was generally attracted to these headphones by the wooden look and the odd buds at the end. Fifteen minutes later I was fairly shocked at the big package I got in such a small one.

I think the I.T. manager may be reading my diary, today he removed everyones access to the server room except mine and refused to restore it until it was tidy, spent 6 hours trying to chase cables.
Buggered my laptop for the second time this week, decided that having DevFS mounted over the top of my old /dev was untidy so I moved /dev and rebooted, then realised that I hadn't created a /dev folder to mount DevFS in, trawled freshmeat looking for a rescue disk that could handle ReiserFS (may I recommend Recovery Is Possible), 5 minutes later, presto.
Keep being nagged about project slipage, so many things to try and keep on top of atm.

|University of Pennsylvania
|National Institutes of Health (NIH)
|Start date
|October 2002
|End date
|January 2016
|Trial size
|240 participants
|Trial identifier
The main objective of the proposed research study is to determine the potential utilization of [18-F] Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with complicated diabetic foot, especially in the diagnosis or exclusion of osteomyelitis in this setting. We intend to validate and establish the necessary criteria for making such a diagnosis and determine the accuracy of the technique through comparison with other existing modalities, including MRI, and patient outcome. We expect that at the completion of the proposed research, the role of these powerful imaging modalities will be clearly defined in the management of patients with this challenging and serious complication.

Primary Outcomes
SUV measurement from PET scan
time frame: Following completion of PET scan
Eligibility Criteria
Male or female participants at least 18 years old.
Inclusion Criteria: - The 240 patients selected for entry into this study will be men or women of any ethnic background diagnosed with diabetic foot disease by members of the team in the Diabetes Center of the Department of Medicine and the division of Vascular Surgery of the department of Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania). Study I: FDG-PET imaging of patients with diabetic foot without clinical suspicion of osteomyelitis or deep-seated tissue infections The patients must have clinical diagnosis of uncomplicated diabetic foot. Each patient will undergo appropriate evaluation including history, physical examination, standard radiographic evaluation (including MRI), and grading of peripheral neuropathy using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). Patients will be divided into three groups, corresponding to MNSI score of 0-3, 4-8, and 9-13, which we will classify as mild, moderate, and severe, respectively. We intend to enroll 26 patients in each of the first two groups and 27 patients in the third. Study II: FDG-PET imaging of patients with diabetic foot and clinical suspicion of osteomyelitis or deep-seated infections The patients must have clinical diagnosis of complicated diabetic foot. These patients will be those suspected of having a deep-seated infection and may or may not be scheduled to undergo amputation or debridement of affected tissue. Each patient will undergo an appropriate evaluation including history, physical examination, radiologic examination including MRI, MNSI, and vascular assessment by segmental Doppler pressures and pulse wave recording. Exclusion Criteria: - Patients with complications of the foot with etiologies not related to diabetes will be excluded from this study.
Additional Information
|Official title
|FDG-PET Imaging in Complicated Diabetic Foot (Protocol Version Dated 3/01/2004)
|Principal investigator
|Abass Alavi, MD
|FDG-PET imaging is a promising imaging technique, which has the potential to overcome many of the shortcomings mentioned previously with regard to radiologic and scintigraphic methodologies. FDG is a diagnostic tracer utilized to measure the metabolic rates of normal and abnormal tissues. Many investigators have noted the affinity of FDG for active inflammatory and infectious disorders, such as sarcoidosis, the abdominal abscess, brain abscess, lung abscess, renal abscess, inflammatory pancreatic disease, lobar pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, colitis, sinusitis, myositis, mastitis, vasculitis, deep venous thrombosis, thyroiditis and other infections including those encountered in orthopedic patients. According to the literature, the most accurate nuclear medicine modality for detecting infection associated with diabetic foot is the labeled WBC method. We hypothesize that FDG-PET imaging has several advantages over this method. Detection of infection by labeled WBC imaging is based upon the assumption that the administered cells will migrate to the sites of infection. Since the majority of the labeled leukocyte preparation consists of neutrophils, inflammatory/infectious processes with a predominantly neutrophilic infiltrate (acute infections) are likely to yield positive results. However, most infections associated with diabetic foot are sub-acute or chronic. Consequently, the dominant inflammatory cells involved are monocytes and lymphocytes. Therefore, labeled leukocytes are unlikely to detect chronic infection since very few monocytes and lymphocytes are labeled. In addition, the previous treatment (antibiotics, etc) can severely reduce the chemotropic effect of bacteria and therefore, fewer leukocytes will migrate to the infectious sites, rendering the labeled leukocyte method ineffective. In contrast, the uptake of FDG in inflammatory cells reflects "in vivo labeling" of the existing cells at the site of infection soon after the administration of the compound. This would indicate that FDG-PET technique might allow imaging a substantially larger population of cells, which are residing in the area of infection and inflammation. Therefore, in addition to considerable simplification of procedures associated with the labeled WBC method, including the time required to complete the study, this approach may provide higher sensitivity for diagnosing infection in such settings. Furthermore, since FDG uptake does not rely upon leukocyte migration, treatment with antibiotics is less likely to affect its sensitivity in delineating the sites of infection. One possible advantage of the labeled WBC method over FDG-PET imaging is that high serum glucose levels do not appear to have an adverse effect on the test results with the former technique while hyperglycemia is known to decrease tumor cell FDG uptake. However, our preliminary results indicate that high glucose levels do not negatively affect FDG uptake by inflammatory cells. Based on these observations, FDG-PET imaging appears to be an attractive alternative to conventional techniques for the detection of infection. FDG-PET imaging offers a unique tool for the diagnosis and management of the diabetic foot. Through the establishment of appropriate diagnostic criteria, a PET scan may prove to be highly accurate in localizing deep infections of bone and soft tissue associated with the complicated diabetic foot. By distinguishing these infections from inflammation, it has the potential to become the optimal diagnostic imaging technique with which to diagnose and manage patients with diabetic foot. Therefore, research studies designed to further validate the ability of this technique are essential to achieving this goal.

I bought this alarm for my 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic so I did not have the luxury of using all of its features like the remote start. But all in all I would say this is a "Pretty Good" alarm. Pros: Easy to install, easy to use, remote has a nice range/sensitivity, and has quite a few features to adjust to your liking. Cons: Sometimes my alarm would warn away absolutely nothing (it would activate Zone 1 and nothing touched the car), the sensitivity of the remote would sometimes unlock the car while in my pocket, the remote is very basic, and not very durable (its human nature to drop things, so the remote started to glitch and reset on its own). I would recommend this remote because for the money what more could you ask for.

Our Lady, Queen of Angels
"But my good Mother," she replied, "you who are so kind, could you not send them without our asking?" "No," Our Lady answered, "because prayer is one of the conditions required by God Himself in obtaining favors." Then the Blessed Virgin communicated the following prayer, bidding the Sister to have it printed and distributed:
August Queen of Heaven! Sovereign Mistress of the angels! Thou who from the beginning hast received from God the power and mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech thee to send thy holy Legions, that, under thy command and by thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks and drive them hence into the abyss of eternal woe. Amen.

I'll see what I can come up with! I have no mojo so if someone wants to lend me theirs it would be helpful - I'm already tired and I've already only shopped for Christmas for a couple of hours! I think I'm taking a mental health day today, so I'll go round up some photos!
Posted 01 December 2012 - 01:09 PM
Great challenge, Carla!!
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:25 PM
Sounds a good challenge. Interesting thinking about the matriarch and patriarch of the family.... my older sister is now the oldest in our family ( we are now the oldest generation... bit scary ) ... I do still have an aunt and uncle on my father's side of the family still alive but both deteriorating quickly.

John Waters kicks off his new book, Role Models (which pays homage to many of the captivating, outsized, and deranged personalities that have shaped his life), by musing about his lifelong fascination with swoony '50s crooner Johnny Mathis: "Was I in danger of becoming a Johnny Mathis stalker?" But it's hardly stalking when you're as charming as Waters, who deftly slips into the lives of his idols, whether it be for a bizarre interview session in Little Richard's hotel room or an enduring friendship with incarcerated "Manson girl" Leslie Van Houten. If anything, Role Models makes stalkers out of us — to read this book is to embark on an odyssey of mute voyeurism into Waters's favorite roughneck Baltimore bars, his Comme des Garçons–packed closet, and the most cherished aspects of his art and porn collections. Before his June 10 reading at the Boston Public Library, I phone him for a freewheeling chat that ricochets from Catholicism to "The Monster Mash."
Why writeRole Models now?
It just seemed like it was the right time to tell these stories — the same reason I wrote Crackpot and Shock Value. I've told the stories so many times that it was time to end them, and how you end them is by publishing them. My anecdote bank is bare.
How did you orignially get into art criticism? Through collecting?
It's definitely collecting. And I'm a fan of impenetrable art writing. I think it's a secret language that I delight in. It's a world I like very much, but I'm against art for the people. I like the elitism; I like how it's almost crooked. How can it be legal, this business, with these auctions and stuff?
When you interviewed Roni Horn at the ICA earlier this year, she said something about how the motivation of her art is political but the drive is pathological. Do you feel the same way about your work?
I think my book is totally political. Humor is political, because the only way you can get people to change their minds is to make them laugh first, and then they're completely disarmed and they'll listen to you. At the same time, pathological? I don't think that's pathological. . . . I'm happily, joyously neurotic and accept it.
It was particularly poignant when you were describing the work of your favorite "outsider porn" auteurs.
Well, I think, when you see their work, they're startling. These [their subjects] were tough-guy monsters, but they probably don't look as good anymore. Everybody looks good when they're young. No matter if you're ugly. There's really no ugly young person compared to what you look like older. It's just, young people never realize that until they're old, and then they look back, like, "My God, I looked pretty good, and I didn't have any self-esteem then."
You offer plenty of thoughts about Catholicism in Role Models. . .The pope came out today against gay marriage again. Did he really have to do that? . . . You notice the pope isn't tossing around the word "infallible" these days. What happened to that word! When I was brought up, we were told that he was infallible, and you don't hear that anymore. That word is staying with Saint Christopher somewhere in Limbo — the other thing that they suddenly, and alarmingly, canceled.
