It doesn't require thread, a bobbin, or any previous sewing experience. You can achieve amazing, one-of-a-kind fabric effects on your first try.
And the Cooper Emellisher is so easy to operate, even a child can use it right away.
Instead of one needle, the Cooper Embellisher has 7 needles joined into a single unit, so they move up and down in unison. On the sides of each needle are tiny barbs. As the needles pierce the top layer of material, these barbs catch the individual fibres and push them down into the bottom layer.
7 round holes in the needle plate correspond to the five needle points. These holes are slightly larger than those found on other felting machines, allowing penetration through even multiple layers to occur easily, quickly and cleanly, allowing for a better blending of fibres.
The fibres mingle to create new colour and texture combinations that simply cannot be achieved with embroidery, appliqué, or any other kind of needlework. In needle felting there is no "right side" or "wrong side." Whether you push the fibres through from the front or back depends on the effect you're trying to achieve. Experimentation is part of the fun.
The machine is extremely easy to use and opens up a world of new possibilities for beginning and advanced sewing and craft enthusiasts alike

|The Enterprise is surveying an uncharted planet when it experiences a strange anomaly. The ship and everything within sensor range suddenly "blinks", as if the universe itself had momentarily been on the edge of vanishing from existence. Immediately afterwards they detect a ship on the surface with a life form reading nearby. Kirk leads a landing party to the location and finds a man there. They bring him back to the ship where they learn some worrying news - the odd anomaly has drained the dilithium crystals almost completely. Worse, Starfleet has issued an emergency code indicating a possible hostile invasion. The anomaly has apparently been felt throughout the entire galaxy and beyond.and it is feared that it might be a preparation for invasion by some hostile power.
Kirk talks to the man, learning that his name is Lazarus. he claims to be pursuing a monster, a "thing" who he claims destroyed his entire civilisation. Yet Kirk can find no sign of any other person anywhere on the planet. The "blink" phenomenon happens again and Lazarus seems to be subtly changed by it, a wound on his head which had been bandaged suddenly vanishing. This version of Lazarus seems much more reasonable, but as time goes on he switches back and forth between the two states.
On the bridge, Spock has found the beginnings of a explanation. There appears to be radiation emanating from what he describes as a "rip" in the universe, a point where the regular laws of physics do not apply. Spock suggests that the dilithium crystals could be used to locate the exact point, causing an excited Lazarus to ask for the crystals. When Kirk refuses he steals them anyway.
Kirk confronts Lazarus and he confesses that he is a time traveller from the planet below, which in the past supported his civilisation. Kirk and Spock begin to realise that there are two versions of Lazarus, one from this universe and one from another antimatter universe. They are periodically swapping places via the rip. Should one ever catch the other and exist in the same time and place then the resulting annihilation would destroy everything in the entire universe in a massive explosion.
Eventually Kirk is able to come up with a plan; the more reasonable of the two will enter the rip at the same time as his antimatter counterpart and hold him there. The Enterprise can then destroy the ship on the surface, sealing the rip. Although this will make both universes safe, the two Lazarus's will be trapped in the rip forever.
The plan works, and the universe is saved.

|The Enterprise discovers the wreckage of the SS Beagle, a survey vessel missing for six years. The sensors indicate that the wreckage originate at a nearby planet, the fourth in Star System 892. The ship proceeds to the planet to search for survivors, with Kirk hoping to locate the Captain, R.M. Merik, who was a friend of his.
On arrival they intercept television broadcasts from the planet indicating that the civilisation there is a close parallel to the Roman Empire on Earth, only in this case the Empire never fell but continued to progress technologically until it reached a level comparable to mid 20th century Earth. But the Empire retains the brutality associated with ancient Rome, including televised Gladiatorial combat. The crew witness such a combat and notice that the defeated 'barbarian' is William B. Harrison, the flight officer of the SS Beagle.
Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to investigate the situation, arriving a short distance outside the city the broadcast was coming from. Unfortunately they are quickly captured by a renegade group calling themselves the Children of the Sun; a religious cult who apparently engage in sun worship. Former champion Gladiator Flavius Maximus is amongst their number, a man who renounced his violent ways when he joined the group. Kirk convinced the group's leader, Septimus, that the landing party is from a ship offshore. He explains why they are there and Spetimus suggests that Merik could be Merikus, the First Citizen. Septimus asks Flavius to lead Kirk and his officers into the city in disguise. Unfortunately they are soon spotted by the police and captured.
Taken to the city, Kirk manages to convince his captors to allow him to meet Merikus. It is indeed his old friend R.M. Merik, captain of the Beagle. Merik takes Kirk to Proconsul Claudius Marcus, who to Kirk's surprise knows all about the offworld origins of Merik and Kirk. Merik explains that when the Beagle was lost his men were stranded on the planet and left with the choice of assimilating or being killed. Those who refused to assimilate were forced to fight in the Gladiator games until they were killed. Claudius demands that Kirk contact the Enterprise and order the crew to beam down to their own fate, but Kirk gives the coded command Condition Green - signalling that the landing party is in trouble but forbidding any rescue attempt. With this, and the planet's status as a pre-warp society, there is virtually nothing that the Enterprise can do to help. Claudius is surprised by Kirk's resistance, and orders Spock and McCoy sent to the games to be killed.
Kirk is made to watch as Spock and McCoy fight Flavius and another Gladiator. Spock is easily able to defeat his opponent thanks to his superior Vulcan physique, but McCoy only survives because Flavius holds back. Kirk feigns amusement at the spectacle, pretending not to care if his officers are killed, much to Claudius's surprise. Merik chimes in that as a Starship commander, Kirk is the very best Humanity has to offer - far more capable than himself, as he tried and failed to achieve such a post. In the end Spock overpowers both opponents, which is against the rules of the combat. Claudius spares them, thinking to use them as further leverage against Kirk.
McCoy and Spock are put in a cell, where Spock rebuffs McCoy's attempts to thank him for saving his life. McCoy angrily accuses Spock of being so desperate to hide his emotions that he's terrified of actually living his life fully. When Spock refuses to engage with the conversation McCoy wearily admits that they are both just worrying about Kirk.
Kirk, meanwhile, is being kept in far more luxurious surroundings. Claudius assures him that in the end he will have no choice but to compromise - and a beautiful slave girl, Drusilla is sent to seduce Kirk as part of the "carrot" part of the carrot and stick approach.
The Enterprise picks up a broadcast announcing Kirk's execution in the arena. Scott, frustrated at his inability to intervene directly, decides to scan the power sources on the planet and simultaneously disrupt them all for a few moments. He hopes that this demonstration of the power of the ship might give those below some second thoughts, whilst not counting as a direct intervention.
Kirk is taken to the arena for his execution. He manages to escape thanks to the power blackout, though Flavius is killed in the process. He frees Spock and McCoy from their cell, but the police arrive and engage them in combat with swords. Merik uses a communicator he has stolen to contact the ship and tell them where the officers are, and is stabbed and killed by Claudius. As the guards open fire on Kirk, Spock and McCoy the three officers are beamed away just in the nick of time.
Back on board, Spock muses on the parallels between Earth and Planet 892-IV, although he notes that ancient Rome did not have Sun worship. Uhura, who has been monitoring the planet's broadcasts, chimes in to say that they have all misunderstood the situation. The rebels do not worship the Sun, but the Son - the Son of God. Kirk marvels that 892-IV had Ceasar and Christ both, and wonders what it would be like to watch the inevitable spread of Christianity on the planet. With that, the ship departs.

Hope's winter sports teams challenged for titles on the conference and national level, finishing as Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) champions in women's basketball and men's swimming/diving, and league runners-up in men's basketball and women's swimming/diving.
The accomplishments keep Hope atop the MIAA Commissioner's Cup standings for the best cumulative performance in conference sports.
The Flying Dutch repeated as conference champions, posted a 28-2 record and advanced to the elite eight of the NCAA Division III tournament, where for the second straight year Hope was eliminated by the eventual undefeated national champion. The Flying Dutch extended their home-floor winning streak to 49-in-a-row. Hope was host to the final four of the NCAA women's basketball championships for the second consecutive year.
The Flying Dutchmen advanced to the NCAA Division III championships for the 20th time in school history by defeating rival Calvin in the conference tournament title game. Hope had finished second in the MIAA's regular-season standings. The team's 21-8 season record marked a school-record 29th consecutive winning campaign.
Senior forward Jesse Reimink and sophomore center Carrie Snikkers, both from Hudsonville, Mich., were named Division III All-Americans. They earlier were voted the MIAA players of the year. Reimink is a second-generation Hope basketball player. His father Ron '80 also played for current coach Glenn Van Wieren '64. Junior Jenny Cowen of Dexter, Mich., was named to the All-MIAA first team.
Swimming & Diving
The assault on the Hope record book was unprecedented for a single season as new marks were established in 16 events, including 11 by the MIAA-champion Flying Dutchmen. The league championship was the 30th under coach John Patnott. Hope's entries at the NCAA championships garnered 14 honorable-mention All-America awards.
Thirteen swimmers were named to the all-conference team. Senior Brittaney Reest Delo of Holland, Mich., was honored for a fourth consecutive year. Five swimmers were honored for a third year: senior Laura Ansilio of Western Springs, Ill.; junior Phil Heyboer of Zeeland, Mich.; junior Ryan Nelis of Holland; junior Claire Piester of Columbia, Mo.; and junior Matt Rose of Grandville, Mich. Honored for a second time were junior Christina and senior Ryan Vogelzang of Holland, and junior Mitch Ruch of Zeeland. First-time honorees included freshman Jeff Shade of Davison, Mich.; freshman Matthew Gregory of St. Joseph, Mich.; freshman Sarah Sohn of Arlington Heights, Ill.; and junior Aaron Welsch of St. Peters, Mo.

Attorney General appeals Progress rate hikeCooper appeals 7.5 percent rate increase approved by Utilities Commission
RALEIGH — Granting Progress Energy a 7.5-percent increase in power bills while many North Carolinians are struggling to make ends meet is wrong, Attorney General Roy Cooper said Monday.
"Many people are already hard pressed to pay their bills, and now isn't the time to ask them to pay more so utilities can make a bigger profit," Cooper said.
Cooper filed today with the NC Supreme Court to appeal the rate hike by Duke Energy Progress, formerly Progress Energy, which was approved in May by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. Cooper had previously opposed the rate increase before the Commission.
The appeal focuses not on whether Progress should be allowed to recover its investments, but on whether it should be allowed to raise customers' rates in order to make a 10.2 percent shareholder profit and a capital structure of 53 percent equity in this challenging economic climate.
In the notice of appeal filed today, Cooper argues that Progress failed to prove its case for higher rates and that the Utilities Commission erred in approving the increase. The appeal contends that the evidence experts put forward to help the company make its case did not take customers' interests into account, except "at most, indirectly or as afterthoughts." Testimony from actual customers at public hearings strongly opposed the increase as a burden during tough economic times.
As noted in the appeal, the NC Supreme Court issued a ruling April 12 that agreed with Cooper's assessment that state law (NCGS § 62-133) requires the Utilities Commission to consider changing economic conditions in setting utility rates that are fair to consumers.
The ruling was issued in response to Cooper's appeal of a 7.2 percent rate increase by Duke Energy. The Supreme Court ordered the Utilities Commission to determine the impact on consumers before setting an allowable profit margin and agreeing to raise rates.
Cooper believes that ruling should serve as a guide for the Utilities Commission in considering all rate hike requests, and that the Commission didn't adequately consider the impact on consumers before granting Progress's rate increase.
"Just talking about how consumers are hurting isn't enough. As required by the North Carolina Supreme Court, we need a true analysis of what this rate hike would really mean for consumers during these challenging economic times," Cooper said.
We are fortunate to have a state Attorney General who is looking out for us during this austere times. He is bucking big corporations and the NC Utility Commission. When cost of living increases are in the 1.0% range, why should monopolies, such as Duke, expect a 7.2 % increase? Why should their stockholders expect 10.2% profit? Where else can someone invest today and expect a 10.2% return on investment? Unemployment is still high, people can not afford an exorbitant rate increase and they have to use Duke's power since they are a monopoly. Thank you Ray Cooper for supporting us and not big corporations.

Posted: 18 August 2009 at 2:49pm
Asslamu Alikum,
Dear members of this wonderful forum,
I am afraid, I can see something not good with some replies.
Honestly.. if a member is adding a new post he/she means to discuss that topic from the viewpoint of Islam which is approved in Qura'an an Sunna... Even with the general topics which may not be very related to Islam.. with any topic..
Your focus has to be on the topic only.. please.. no need to ask personal questions about the author or any other member.. ..
I don't think this is the correct place for personal chatting
This will affect the great aim of this forum..
We want to be a modern society..
We are here to discuss the topics, Islamic matters and social matters or problems. We are here to learn from each other and to improve ourselves not to waste the time in asking the member personal questions about his/her self..
Except if that is needed to give him/her the solution to a problem he/she is suffering from, and I think that should be in a private message.
Kindly.. avoid wasting your time and ours..
May Allah be pleased with me and all of you..
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers(3:85)

Here are pics of mine...I think I need to repaint!
Several years ago, I lightly brushed some dried silver metallic modeling paint over my Snaggletooth's feet and made them look better. Not perfect, but better.
However, I never will part with mine. I "fixed" him completely for display purposes. If you're looking at future value, I'd caution against altering him beyond what age has done. Most collectors would prefer the original paint in iffy condition to a restoration.
Besides, I don't think the boots on yours look too bad at all. They're better than most I've seen, mine included.
That's my jacket!
Thanks...I really would rather not repaint...he does look pretty good unless you look really up close!Originally Posted by El Chuxter

Fixing Asus UX21e unexpected power off
The Asus UX21e (and maybe the UX31e?) has the irritating misfeature that it reloads the CPU thermal tables when you unplug the power. One consequence of this is that it'll automatically throttle itself much more aggressively on battery (reducing performance) but the more serious one is that the new critical power off temperature may then be lower than the temperature the CPU is currently operating at, resulting in the machine turning itself off. As far as I can tell from debugging, this is completely OS-independent - it still happens even if I stub out all the ACPI code for power supply events and there are reports of the same thing occurring on Windows. The good news is that it seems to be fixed in newer firmware versions. The even better news is that you can flash it without Windows. Just download the BIOS image from the Asus website, copy it onto a FAT formatted USB stick, insert that, go into the firmware (hit F2 on the splash screen) and start the flash program from there.

It lasts for only 2 mins 22 seconds. It's really hard to say anything that makes sense - because Fumiko no Kokuhaku definitely is not about sense, deep feelings and all that. Story is as simple as a hamster - it's cute, yet very sudden. It starts with a girl's confession to a boy she likes. He says no - and she starts to run. And run. And even more run. And soon she just can't stop making her - very fast - way down from a hill. The truth is - all you get is just about a minute and a half of crazy run. Animation is very cute. I personally loved it a lot. It fits the story and characters. I guess... See full review
First, I have to admit that I love cats. No, I adore them! So when I found a new airing anime called 'Nyan Koi!' I just couldn't not to download all the 6 episodes that had aired by the moment I found it.Story is very funny. Everybody seems to be obsessed with cats, so you start to pity poor Kousaka who can't stand them. As about me, I crossed my fingers for him ^.^On some sites I found 'Nyan Koi!' tagged with ecchi, and it really has some.. hints. But it's not about anything like that at all. More than that, it has no panty shot or blood from the nose.Animation is... See full review
I thought It'd be a failure. 'Russian anime, oh Lord, and It's about the War!' – that's what I thought. The Second World War (aka The Great Patriotic War for Russians) is the main theme for lots and lots of movies, cartoons, TV-series, books.. And now they created an anime.Watching it at Russian with English subs (because I cannot disconnect it) was rather funny, but now I can tell you – English subs lie! They missed some words and something was wrong about the names. But It was all right at all.I didn't like the story. As for me, war is something more serious... See full review
Comparing two seasons of Haruhi it's obvious that the 2nd is an absolute collapse. It's really sad. Animation and music are still great, but the story.. I guess I'm not the only one who was disappointed – we were waiting for something better. Much better.Lots of identical episodes (more than a half of the season), and almost all the other episodes have the same story line. I accentuate only one single episode – the first one. It was pretty fun.I do really think that 'Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009)' failed and It's a great shame for Kyoto Animation. Such... See full review
Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo is very impressive. I'd say that the story is exclusive – If this word fits the situation. The greatest plus of the movie is that love is not the main theme, but the most important. Animation is pretty interesting, a kind of better than usual. Sound scared me sometimes, but It also is perfect for those moments where It was used. And everything's perfectly combined; I watched the whole movie with my month wide open. It's such a masterpiece.See full review
'Beyond the Clouds', also known as 'The Place Promised in Our Early Days', is a movie by Makoto Shinkai. I wanted to watch It for some months, and when I finally found It I wasn't been disappointed. It's just masterpiece. Catching plot, strong characters, awesome animation and a kind of mystery – It has it all. Maybe people's animation is not that perfect, but I've never seen any anime with more beautiful landscapes. And as I know, not everybody likes Sci Fi, I wasn't the exception.

I'd love to get all swept up in the hullabaloo surrounding Liz Phair's 1993, now seminal, now reissued (on Dave Matthews's ATO Records) Exile in Guyville, I really would. I love hullabaloos. Thing is, I've always been more of a Whip-Smart guy. I think the songs are better, her band sound better, and her voice throughout doesn't inspire bullshit lines like "Lilith Sternin at Lilith Fair." Guyville, though? Really? I'm just not sure, guys.
I say "guys" because Phair's career was, for better or worse, built on foundations of dude approval. (Girls loved her, but guys made her.) It's Guyville's simmering premise, after all — well, that and responding to the Rolling Stones, and passively confessing to a crush on Nash Kato of Urge Overkill. Years later, Phair has unshelved the songs that made her who she is (to everyone else, at least), directed a rough documentary revisiting the dude-heavy Chicago scene that chewed her out while eating her up, and set out to play Guyville in its entirety at select dates around the country (this Friday and Saturday at the Paradise).
Her career has been one of constant and drastic change (or selling out, as some would have it), from the raw pop of her early "Girly Sound" cassettes to her disconcertingly high-gloss output on Capitol. After paddling away from the "shores of cool," as she sees them, Phair is allowing the tides to draw her raft back — but is that the same as washing up? I caught up with her on the phone as she was making her son breakfast.
Was there a point when you were fed up with Guyville — the attention and the expectations it brought upon you?
I've always had a rough time with it. I didn't grow up wanting to be a rock star, I didn't grow up wanting to be on stage. I got into music (in terms of writing it) at Oberlin, and half of that was because it was in fashion to do it. I wrote my crazy little songs, but I did it in my bedroom. It was a fun little fuck-off hobby.
But I got very serious when I made Guyville. I was on a mission to prove something. I was sick of these holier-than-thou music types that, for some reason, I was surrounded with. I just wanted to be like "fuck you, I can do it too — it's not rocket science." Then suddenly it became the defining thing of my adult life, at least until I had a child.
I came from a bunch of professionals — a lot of my family are doctors. Compared to doctoring — like saving lives or watching people slip away — everyone was so bejiggity about music. My dad worked with AIDS patients — I mean, that was heavy. I couldn't go to him and say, "Dad! Whip-Smart is not as beloved as Guyville! What do I do?"

The density of bonding electrons (red and yellow) in silicon (upper left) is rather evenly distributed, whereas in zinc oxide (upper right), it is concentrated around the oxygen atoms. These distributions explain the larger exciton in silicon (43 Å, lower left) versus that in ZnO (15 Å, lower right).
An advance in the theory describing the absorption of light by semiconductors makes it possible to accurately calculate the properties of composite particles called excitons that significantly affect the performance of solar cells and other optoelectronic devices.
Solar-cell performance could be greatly improved by the development of new semiconductor alloys. The ability to calculate optical properties in these materials could lead to large-scale screening via computer calculations – significantly enhancing the rate of discovery as compared to screening by experiment.
In semiconductors, light absorption creates energetic electrons and electron vacancies or holes, which can roam freely and in solar cells generate an electric current. In some cases, an electron recombines with a hole to create an exciton – a charge-neutral state with a spatial extent many times the atomic spacing. Because exciton formation reduces the photocurrent, understanding the size and binding energy of the exciton is important for optimizing the cell's efficiency. Standard theory is not accurate enough to predict exciton properties because they depend on the electrical attraction between a negatively charged electron and a positively charged hole, as well as on the complex reorganization of the surrounding electrons in response to the charge. The new approach from the Colorado School of Mines in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which combines a "many-electron" treatment with a description of the spatial extent of the exciton, provides a shorter route to the optimization of performance than experiment alone. The theory gives excellent agreement with experiment for known semiconductors such as silicon, gallium arsenide, and zinc oxide and provides an explanation for the large binding energy in zinc oxide that had previously puzzled researchers.

Well, I've just gotten Flite's unit selection up to roughly the same quality as Festival's, by filling in a few missing pieces in the join cost estimation and fixing the Viterbi decoder. The scoring, and the actual choice of units, is a bit different, but it sounds pretty good regardless.
It's a bit big though ... well, it's huge actually (so "small, fast" is not entirely accurate when it comes to unit selection voices :-) With 15,000 units and 150,000 frames of LPC plus residual data in a small unit selection database, one would expect it to be. This means that the really fun part of my task is just beginning.

Gary, Thanks and Perfect.....!
You are toting Levin's push for a Balanced Budget Amendment. I've been 100% for it for years! But, how can you support the GOP, a party that wouldn't dare support a Balanced Budget? They were the first to proclaim that, "deficts don't matter", under Reagan. They were the biggest supporters of raiding SS to balance the budget under Speaker Gingrich. SS the largest US debt holder! Boehner kicked Amash of the Budget Committee because he wanted to propose a Balanced Budget! I'll add the both the Dems and Repubs Foreign Policy is a disaster. I just don't understand how anyone could support such dyfunctionalism and wouldn't support real refrom and change. The only Repubs on The Hill that are inspiring anyone are the ones that lean Libertarian.

Furthermore your constant misquoting of Reagan is nothing more than pathetic ignorance to showboat your views. Stop taking what you believe Reagan stood for by removing something out of context. "deficits don't matter" was never a view of Reagan, except as it pertained to lowering taxes would have a huge impact on them. Only the constant spending Democrats blamed him for not providing more for them to squander on their favorite vote-getting programs, when in fact during his administration more money came into the fed coffers after he reduced the taxes than before. Had that kept up, those deficits would have been covered. So please stop implying the Republicans under Reagan were the tax and spend party, when it just shoots down any intelligent thought we might have of you.
Most conservatives I know have no problem endorsing the various Libertarian-based politicians. We have far less objection to a Rand Paul than most of you narrow minded members of that party do. Your anti-social atheistic followers that have no belief in God, and thus think all other voters must remove God from the platform because we will never win any elections by endorsing anyone that also has that as an important belief in their life, is where we part ways. The fact of the matter is, when we become a nation that's NOT under God, we will no longer be a nation. You can then develope all the 3rd parties you desire, but without the help of God Almighty you will just succumb to whatever Satan has planned for you and the other fools in this country.
We that still fight for the conservative movement may not have the answers, but be assured, we know you and your ilk certainly don't.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
In 1980, Reagan inherited a deficit of 2.7% of GDP from the Carter years. During the Reagan Presidency, the Deficit went to 4.2% of GDP. And, that's a fact Jack! Reagan may have been good for many reasons but spending, Iran-Contra and Amnesty are NOT three issues to be proud of.

A-HEM, Gentlemen...
The third or fourth party is moot. Anyone we send to Versailles-on-the-Potomac simply becomes another dandy in the Royal Court or they get crushed and marginalized. Our salvation will not come from that direction. WE must struggle for the soul of the country and do it in the "novel" manner of following Constitutional remedies instituted by the prescient founders who anticipated THIS VERY SITUATION!!!
Please pick up the book. What will be needed is lots of local (and state-wide) net-working. You'll need to elect STATE assemblymen and senators who have a passion to return rightful power to the States. Just elect enough of them to put some fear into the previously go-along-to-get-along quasi-do-nothing-pseudo-Republicans-and-pretend-Conservatives. See if they all of a sudden discover they've loved the Constitution all this time... who knew!???
The usual squabbles have produced nothing but division and empowered the hierarchy and fixed bureaucracies in Washington. The divisions between the real people (you and me and others on this site) have created an elite class... a ruling class. We can't disempower them by trying to damage each other.
It's time to unite.

Gadget Guy: Taking The Question Mark Out Of QR Codes
By Steve Van DinterSpecial To Channel 3000
When was that last time you ever really looked at a barcode, or thought twice about one?
We pretty much take them for granted. But now there's a new kid in town and it just might make your life a little easier.
But let's start with something familiar here -- the barcode. And we pay close attention to make sure it rings up the right product at the right price. It works great, but did you know that each line can represent just one number? There's actually a lot of vertical space being wasted.
Enter a new type of barcode that packs in a ton more data -- including letters and symbols -- all at a fraction of the size. Companies are using it to imprint product codes and other tracking in a much smaller space.
So you're thinking, "Great, what's in it for me," right?
You can actually create your own cool barcode, and chances are your cell phone, along with others, can actually read it.
They're call QR codes, or quick response, and they have been huge in Japan and Europe.
A QR code connects you to the information contained in them. Scanning one could have you call a store, access a secret coupon, visit a Web site, add a person as a contact, send them an email -- the possibilities are endless.
So how does it work?
If you have an iPhone, head to your app store and look for a free reader.
If you have a BlackBerry with a camera you're also in luck. Just head on over to BlackBerry App World and look for one of these readers, or download BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 and there's a QR reader bundled in.
Simply launch BlackBerry Messenger and click on "scan a group barcode" and you're set.
A grocery-store-like beep tells you the code has been scanned and then you're off.
Some people are using the code on their business cards to allow people to scan in all their contact information instantly. In other countries, people are going further and printing these on their shirts with hidden messages, links to their Facebook pages and even phone numbers.
It's free to make a code of your own. Just Google "QR code generator" and click on the type of code you want (from URL to e-mail, to SMS, etc) and then click "create." After that you can resize it and put it anywhere.
Getting a reader for your phone is pretty simple. I recommend www.mobile-barcodes.com or again Googling your phone's model and "QR code reader." The possibilities are truly endless. I guarantee you'll have some fun playing around.
Here's a fun site for even more on what you can do with QR codes: http://www.dawnstar.id.au/geek/qr-codes-fun-profit/
Once you have a reader, here's a sample code to get you started:

The funny thing is blacks consistently score 10 to 15 points lower on IQ tests and any effort to find out why is shot down as racism. It's common knowledge that the first step in solving a problem is identifying the problem. I believe keeping a group of people thinking they can't make it without government help is racism in its purest form. You can't convince people that some external force is keeping them down and then expect them to work their way out of it. Liberals are the racists. My take on The Bell Curve.

This may be old news for most people using Numeric Python on a daily basis, but I've just "discovered" that Numeric ufuncs can be applied to class instances, if they implement the right interface, which is a method with the same name as the ufunc.
One dumb example :
class ZeroAngle: def sin(self): return 0. def tan(self): return 0 def cos(self): return 1
a = ZeroAngle() import Numeric as n print n.cos(za) print n.sin(za)
This of course does not work with the functions in math or cmath, which try to coerce there argument to float.
A very nice usage of this is in Konrad Hinsen's Scientific.Functions.Derivatives (part of the Scientific Python package)

There is no better way to mark an everlasting love, special relationship, or meaningful friendship than with an Irish claddagh ring, and Factory Direct Jewelry has one of the largest online claddagh ring collections available.
Generally referred to as Irish or Celtic, gold claddagh rings are traditionally given as a token of love or worn as a wedding ring. The original design and customs associated with the claddagh ring are derived from the the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, situated outside the city of Galway in Ireland.
The unique and distinctive claddagh ring design features two hands holding a heart, with the heart usually topped by a crown. Each element of this highly recognizable design is said to represent a desirable quality. The heart represents love, the hands represent friendship, and the crown represents loyalty. Due to these three traits, claddagh rings are worn as a symbol of friendship, love, engagement, or as Celtic wedding rings depending on the intention of the wearer and/or the giver.
According to traditional Claddagh ring meaning,the way a claddagh ring is worn signals the relationship status of the wearer. If the claddagh ring is worn on the right ring finger with the heart pointing to the fingertip, it means the wearer is free of any attachment. If the claddagh ring is worn on the right ring finger with the heart pointing away from the fingertip, it means the wearer is romantically involved. If the claddagh ring is worn on the left ring finger, it means the wearer is married or engaged to be married.
If you are looking for inexpensive, but not cheap, claddagh rings to represent your love, loyalty, and friendship, Factory Direct Jewelry can help. In order to foster lasting, loyal relationships with our customers, we have decided to market our online jewelry directly to our customers, with the promise to provide the same high-end claddagh jewelry we have featured at many retail jewelry stores around the USA, at a fraction of the cost. Shop our many different online claddagh rings, Celtic knot rings and Celtic wedding bands now!

Failure isn't fatal. Failure to change might be. - John Wooden
In general, I feel like you draft the best player. Not going best player has really hurt Miami over the years. We can give a lot of examples, but a few that stand out are passing on Vince Wilfork for Vernon Carey, Fletcher over Drew Brees, trading out of R1 and missing on Randy Moss, Ted Ginn over Willis/Revis etc.
In this draft, I think Miami can fill their offensive line needs in R2-R4 and go best player in R1 (Ebron, Mosley, Benjamin).
I know this might sound funny in a passing era, but going agains the grain might be building a physical offensive line that can pound people in the running game and, at the very least, do better than league average in short-yardage situations. It seems NE is trending that way a bit.
In the 1994 playoff game at San Diego, we ran the ball 8 times to 40 for the Chargers, despite Miami leading virtually the entire game, often by wide margin. The announcers weren't mentioning it but I was charting it. I was throwing my pen against the wall as the gap widened. It made for an easy halftime bet on San Diego but as a Dolphin fan I was disgusted.
Anyway, I don't believe in drafting for your system. That adds another subjective variable. Seattle may be a convenient focal point now but there aren't too many examples. I really think it's overblown anyways. They happened to find terrific players who would fit in virtually any scheme but since they are thriving all the arrows are pointing upward and they can take credit for drafting toward their formula.
Best player available is as close to lack of decision making as possible. The problem with drafting for need is that it's too easy to convince yourself that the need guy is nearby the best player. The general manager will rationalize that the left tackle is virtually the same caliber as that cornerback when really the margin is quite distinct, and there would be no question about it other than the desperate need for the specific position.
Obviously, there's going to be a fair amount of subjectivity when evaluating players, and I can appreciate the desire to limit it. But I believe the stronger the vision for your team (this obviously highlights the importance of a working relationship with HC and GM), the less you submit your process to subjectivity.
Rather than viewing a see of players, you're looking to identify particular traits that your system needs to succeed. Generally speaking, I think good teams do this well at a handful of positions - rather than for their entire team. The Packers did it really well with WR's, the Steelers with LB's (until recently). You're not going to get Calvin Johnson in the 2nd or 3rd, and you're not going to get Derrick Thomas in the later rounds. But if you can identify the key traits that make your system tick, you can forgive flaws and accentuate strengths. To me, that's how you get the greatest value out of the draft. You're not going to get Revis in the 5th. If you watched the Senior Bowl and told me that Richard Sherman would be the best CB in the NFL, I'd have told you to put down the paint thinner.
Especially with late-RD draft picks, all these guys have glaring flaws/reasons to fail. Without a clear vision for what you want for your team and out of each position, you're talking a feather and a lottery ticket. On that note, I don't believe in drafting for need. I believe in acquiring the players who best fit your vision for your team - different from BPA, because the vision/system is the alpha.

Torrie Smith, 3, left, takes a bite of an apple at their home in Denver on Friday, Nov. 30, 2012. The Smith's, including her father, Anthony, right, talked about their experience getting dental treatment through Medicaid for Torrie after she fell and broke four front teeth. State Medicaid data reported to the federal government show that less than half of the 453,000 Coloradans under age 21 who were eligible for benefits in federal fiscal year 2011 received some kind of dental service.
Stories this photo appears in:
State dealing with Medicaid dental woes
When she was 3, Torrie Smith tripped on an uneven sidewalk, fell face down onto some steps and broke four front teeth. An emergency room doctor stopped the bleeding and gave her something for the pain, but Torrie didn't get to a dentist for six months — her first time ever to a dentist — because her parents didn't have dental insurance and didn't have cash to pay for an examination.

Interview: Chris Isaak Heads to Sun Studio to Record His New Album, 'Beyond The Sun'
And I hear you had some guests in the studio who helped channel the vibe.
In the room with us, playing on some of the stuff and helping out, was Cowboy Jack Clement, who produced a bunch of the Johnny Cash Sun sides, and who wrote several songs for Johnny Cash, and who produced all the Jerry Lee Lewis, so it was fantastic to have him there. We also had Roland Janes, who played guitar on all the Jerry Lee, and I was nuts about him. Not a lot of people know Roland Janes because Jerry Lee takes up a lot of space on a record. But Roland is my favorite guitar player. To hear him on those records blows my mind. And he couldn't have been nicer.
So it was kind of cool … we wanted to do it without doing overdubs, so we don't have headphones, everybody's doing this in one take and we're in the room just listening to each other. And I go [to his band], "It's just my voice, so you can't play louder than me because you have to hear me singing." And I said to Roland, "How loud did you guys play, because I'm worried about my voice. How loud do I got to sing?" And he goes, "We played as loud as we wanted to, Chris." My guitar player [Hershel Yatovitz] gave me a look like, "Ha-Ha." Then [Janes] said, "But it was 1956, so we didn't want to play that loud."
So you had your whole regular band there with you as well?
Oh yeah. It made such a big difference, too. To come in and do this instead of coming in with, I just, I don't know how to tell people who aren't in the music business, but your Guitar World people will probably get it. This was a project that, I guarantee, you could not go to the best session guys in L.A., hire them all, you couldn't go in and cut this record. Because everybody is playing together. We've been playing together for 26 years, my drummer and I, and bass player, and you start to have a feel.
And then we rehearsed like, you couldn't afford to rehearse as much as we did. We all stayed at my house in San Francisco. We would rehearse, go upstairs and eat spaghetti dinners, and about an hour later, you would hear somebody start playing piano downstairs and, one-by-one, everybody would get sucked back down to work. We practiced and rehearsed this stuff [so much that], by the time we went in, all we had to do was have fun. It wasn't like, "How many bars is that?" Or "Where's the end?" All those kind of questions had been solved. When we got to Sun, it was just like, "Now we get to play."
Did you go with vintage instruments to match the studio, or did you have those already?
If you see pictures of me, all the time I'm playing the guitar that about 89 percent of the time you hear on the records. It's a Gibson J-200, and I've got my name written on there in mother-of-toilet-seat. I've had that since the late '80s or whatever. It's just a great-sounding guitar and I play it a lot.
Who wrote your name on it?
[Laughing] I had them cut it out of wood at wood shop.
And yours was not the only J-200 heard on the album?
Jack Clement came and brought his J-200 that he'd used on all the Johnny Cash things. I thought more power to Gibson, because they sound good. They sound the same.
What other guitars did you use?
For the big guitar, I have a blonde Super 400 Gibson. For those people who don't know, Scotty Moore played a blonde Super 400, or he had a big Gibson like that, that big hollow body, looked like a coffee-table-sized guitar. And we were trying to get a lot of that Scotty sound, and so my guitar player would alternate between those big Gibsons. I lent him my guitar for some of the leads, and he had a Fender Strat, which is his go-to guitar. And he played that on a few things that were kind of more bluesy.
I remember one song, we played it, sounded great, but I said [to Yatovitz], "You need a funkier sound, cause all these blues guys have funky guitars. They always had a $20 guitar. [At Sun], there was a guitar in the studio that they used just to take pictures with, and it's kinda like there more for decoration than guitar. It's got a Gibson neck and a Silvertone pickup. It's a hodgepodge of different things and everybody signed it, and it's got bumper stickers on the back. And I said, "Play that one." [Yatovitz] looked at me like I'd asked him to have sex with a zombie or something. He said, "But it's all out of tune up the neck and it needs to be ..." And I said, "Just try it." He played it, and it sounded awesome. It made the record.
What was your approach to actually recording these iconic songs with iconic musicians? Is there a fine line between tribute and imitation?
Believe me, the idea came into my head, "You've gotta be careful not to" … there's certain songs. I'll give you an example. There's certain Elvis songs that I don't know how you're going to do because he's got a talking part in the middle. Like [he sings] "Are you lonesome tonight?" Then it's [talking like Elvis], "The stage is bare and I'm standing there." The minute you start doing the talking part on that song, it becomes an Elvis imitation. … So you have to look for ways to make it different. But I think that what we did on those songs — I knew all these songs coming in — I said, let's learn them really good. Let's listen to the songs and make sure we all know the changes and things that we like. We really honed in on them, and once we really knew it, then I said, "Now we just forget it, and play it our way and have fun with it." That was kind of the method. I wanted them to sound like they came out of Sun Records, but were cut by somebody else.
I heard some of the tracks and they sound great. And not imitations at all. "Ring of Fire," for one.
I think the "Ring of Fire" we did, it's a little different. For sure it's different than Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." Johnny Cash doesn't have a B3 organ on his "Ring of Fire," and we've got a lot of B3 organ kicking through that. In modern records, there's all kinds of instrumentation and overdubs and sound effects, but in those early rock 'n' roll records, it's usually just a three- or four-piece band. … Rhythm guitar is heard very little, just a little click-clack sound in the back. The drums are heard very little. And we kind of kept to that. Kept it pretty simple. But on "Ring of Fire," yeah, that's pretty different. We've got the B3 swinging along.
So now all these old songs on tour are new cuts from your new record?
The nice thing this is this is the stuff that I've [always] been playing. I don't know what people imagine I play at my house. I guess they picture you at home playing "Wicked Game" or something like that. But the reality is that when you go home, you play what you want to hear. I would always go home and play this kind of music, sitting on my stairs. When the band would get together at sound check, we would always throw this stuff in. And now when we play it live, people love it.
It would seem that a lot of people like you because they like that style of music already. Or is it the other way around sometimes?
Part of me is hoping that. I listen to this music and I think everybody knows it. And I've been kind of surprised that a lot of people don't really have the background, you know? And it's a shame people forget how pretty these songs are. I love to take "My Happiness," which I think of as a classic song, a love ballad that is really pretty, And I thought, Michele Branch and I singing on it, maybe somebody new will hear it and that will keep it going.
You tour a lot. Is that the plan going forward?
The last tour was about a four-haircut tour. I count them by how man haircuts I get. We were out all summer, at least four, five months on that. This one, I'm thinking will take us through Christmas and into the New Year, because we're going to Australia, then coming back to the states for some more.
Does it ever become a grind?
We never stop and if that sounds like a complaint, it isn't. So many people don't have a job right now. I'm thrilled to have one. Plus my job isn't like moving boxes at the back of a store or something. I get to wear a sparkly suit and stand up in front of people and play a fancy guitar. I was playing yesterday, playing to a bunch of executives. They were like radio and record people. It was all young women, beautiful, and I'm getting to stand up there playing a Super 400 guitar, my old Gibson, and I'm just having so much fun. I love my job.
I hope I get a chance to see you play these great songs. The last time I saw you live was in, I think, 1994, and you were opening for Tina Turner.
Oh my God, you saw us on our very first tour. We're a much better band now. I've got Tina Turner stories I can tell for days. That was probably the toughest tour ever because she was just so tough to be on tour with. She wouldn't let you walk backstage. She had security guys with guns back there. You couldn't walk in the hallways. I go, "You know, we like Tina Turner but we weren't, like, stalking her. We just wanted to get a drink of water." Know what I mean?
Couldn't have been your first tour. First big tour, perhaps?
Yeah, we played lots of clubs and bars before that. That was, I remember, the first time we had a tour bus.
How about acting? Are you going to get back to that?
I've been doing some hosting at Turner Classic Movies. [TCM host] Robert Osborne is on vacation and he's a friend, so he asked me to come in and I hosted for a while.
How about acting roles?
Every time I have a down moment, somebody gives me script and I go in and do something.
Do you get to pick and choose at all, like you do with the songs you play?
I'm not Tom Cruise, They don't come to me first, but when they come to me, I'm happy for the work.
Beyond the Sun, the new album by Chris Isaak, comes out October 18 via Wicked Game/Vanguard Records.

Family: Carangidae, Jacks view all from this family
Description The bar jack, Carangoides ruber (also known as the carbonero, red jack, blue-striped cavalla and passing jack) is a common species of inshore marine fish classified in the jack family, Carangidae. The bar jack is distributed through the western Atlantic Ocean from New Jersey and Bermuda in the north to Venezuela and possibly Brazil in the south, with the largest population in the Gulf of Mexico and West Indies. The bar jack is most simply distinguished from similar jacks by its dark horizontal bar which runs along the back and down the caudal fin, often accompanied by an electric blue stripe immediately below it. Other more detailed differences include dentition and soft ray counts. The bar jack is a moderately large species, growing to a recorded maximum of 65 cm and a weight of 6.8 kg. The species inhabits clear shallow waters, often over coral reefs where it lives either solitarily or in large schools, taking various fishes, crustaceans and cephalopods as prey. Studies in Cuba indicate spawning occurs between March and August, with sexual maturity reached at 26 cm. It is a relatively popular sport fish and can be caught on light tackle with a variety of lures and baits. It is considered to be a good food fish, however many recorded ciguatera cases are attributed to the species, with most cases reported on the island of St. Thomas traced to this single species.
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows.
Range Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas.

Does anyone here play in TCG tournaments for the WOTC SW game? I went to my first one last night and I was the only person who showed up for it. I waited around for half-an-hour and then took off. I don't know if they are hard to come by or I just don't know where to look but I've yet to come across one in my area (Utah).
Are they pretty cutthroat or just friendly games?

Asian spa client names may be revealed
SPOKANE, Wash - Thursday may be the day hundreds of Spokane men have been dreading; names of clients of Asian spas raided this summer may be revealed in court.
A showdown is expected in court, as owners of two of those raided spas are going to court, demanding Airway Heights Police reveal the alleged evidence against them. That evidence could include names of clients who patronized those spas, where massages weren't offered, but sexual favors instead.
The City of Airway Heights has hired an attorney to represent its police department in the case. Richard Mount from the law firm Witherspoon-Kelley will guide the city through the seizure and forfeiture hearings.Asian spa client names may be revealed
Police and agents from the Washington Gambling Commission raided eight spas in July and executed search warrants at the spa owners' homes, seizing more than $100,000 in cash and property.
Attorneys for at least two of the spas are demanding police return those assets. Chin Sim Day, owner of Oriental Spa North on Francis, is represented by Carl Oreskovich, the attorney best-known for represented former Spokane Police Officer Karl Thompson. Oreskovich filed a motion, demanding Day's valuables be returned.
Oreskovich says because the state used a secret process to obtain search warrants and has offered no proof of evidence six months later, his client deserves to have her property returned. Day is expected in court Thursday to argue her case.
Yong Cha Kassim owned Joe Jean's Oriental Spa on North Division and is also suing Airway Heights Police for the return of her valuables, including her black Mercedes-Benz.
Judge James Triplet could demand prosecutors turn over the probable cause for the seizures and the sealed police reports, which could reveal the names of the men who frequented the spas.
Sources familiar with the investigation say the names were derived from credit card receipts detectives found when raiding the spas.
kxly4 has filed a public records request to obtain the names of the men, who were charged an entrance fee, a charge for services and sometimes, a generous tip.

Results 1 to 5 of 5
Thread: 15 gal figure 8 setup help
15 gal figure 8 setup help
Hello friends!
I am going to be adding a third tank to my collection this year. My son has been asking for a puffer fish, so I have started the research and have a few questions on tank set up.
1: what kind of substrate should i use? sand?
2: the only thing I can find at the LFS is Green spotted puffer or figure 8 puffer. both are brackish water fish. witch one should I go with? and is a single fish okay? (really wanted a dwarf or pea puffer) will mix bumble bee golby in as well with plenty of hiding spaces.
3: I am seeding a filter off my well established FW tank, will the brackish water kill the the good stuff on the filter?
4: live plants in brackish water, is it worth the hassle or will the salt kill them?
thanks Aaron29 gal- 1 Koi angel, 2 banjo cats, dojo loach, 2 rasboras. double aqua clear filtered
10gal- 4 zebra danios, 3 cardinal tetras, black and yellow striped loach
15gal-3 dwarf puffers and 3 ghost shrimp.
I have dwarf pea puffers in a planted tank with eco-complete substrate.
They're really cute and fun and no brackish water issues, they're totally freshwater.
I feed them snails and they are doing well, and helping my big tank's snail problems.
I can't answer your other questions, but that's what I know!
Thing is, I'm not sure how many peas, or any puffer for that matter, you could have in a 15 gal. With pea puffers it's max 3 from what I've read and seen on the AC, because of aggression. Planting densely helps, mine are happy!African Dwarf Frogs, Betta, Dwarf Chain Loaches, Otocilclus, Ember Tetras, Amano Shrimp in one magical 31 gallon tank
Two pea puffers in another tank!
I have a walmart puffer in a 10 gal. tank, sand bottom, lots of plants, and he puts up with a couple of little red platies, or they put up with him. I had a cory cat in with him for a while, but the cat never seemed comfortable with the arrangement. I run only a little salt, one table spoon per five gallon minimum and the puffer has been doing well now for a year. I feed the puffer sun dried krill and whatever flake food he will eat on the side.
My current preference would be for a bigger tank and more fish. Little fish get on well enough with the puffer if they are fast swimmers and have a lot of hiding places. What I would really like at this point, also, is some kind of bottom feeder to go with the puffer. Bumble bee golby's would be neat, except they seem to be more fussy about food then even the puffer. At least that is what I read.
Any ideas about a bottom feeder?

I would be careful with anything with a green spotted puffer. One of the meanest little fish I have ever seen. :) (I've been bitten by them several times) But they are a neat fish to watch. good luck with your puffer selection.

well 15 gallons is the minimum for one figure 8 puffer, green spotted needs 30 min.
green spotted also requires moderate brackish to marine as an adult.
figure 8 puffer can be kept in lightly brackish to moderate brackish.
Of the two id go with figure 8 if your going brackish and get sand substrate.
But i always see pea puffers around, if you want those then just wait a bit im sure they will turn up at your local fish store, fo complete freshwater for them

ha ha...too funny
ha ha...too funny
Our defensive front is much better than at any time w/ Mark.
Our WRs are better(when healthy) than 2009. The group of RBs(w/ Goodson back) is as good, or better, than any we had w/ Mark and we have the best offensive mind we have had.
I hope Geno is great but it wouldn't change the fact that mark did a really good job for us and had one bad season when we had the worst healthy talent of any team in the league and Tony Sparano running the show.
I think thats last years #s
oh so worthless stuff...i got it now
Wasn't hard to call this one. Play like garbage in four games, put up one game against a ****ty defense missing half of its starters, and then it's back to looking awful.
He said he was trying to throw the ball away on that first interception. Really? Throwing it away right into double coverage?
That right there makes you just wonder.
Smith played like garbage again lol he blows
I am not gonna lie. I seriously thought the Jets were going to win that game. The Steelers are steaming pile of **** this year.

Obama, Biden announce $600M for job grants
Associated Press
OAKDALE, Pa. (AP) - Urging the U.S. to keep up in the global skills race, President Barack Obama on Wednesday highlighted $600 million in new job-training grants that he said could help people land well-paying jobs.
Obama joined Vice President Joe Biden and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker at a community college in western Pennsylvania, where the president declared that anyone willing to put in the effort should have opportunities and job training available to them. He said manufacturing jobs are coming back in the U.S., but the nation must make a choice about whether it's willing to do what's necessary to train its workforce for those jobs.
"We sometimes sound like a broken record because we've been talking about this for six, seven, eight years, ever since we've been in public office," Obama said. "But it's more urgent than ever now that we move forward."
Not all of today's good jobs require a four-year college degree, Obama said. But he said there are no jobs that will pay a lot without specialized training. He said the nation's best bet is to keep ahead in the global skills race.
The larger of the two grant programs will put nearly $500 million toward a job training competition run by the Labor Department that is designed to encourage community colleges, employers and industry to work together to create training programs that are geared toward the jobs employers need to fill.
The Labor Department is also making an additional $100 million available for grants to reward partnerships that expand apprenticeship programs.
"We're here to show how we can help more people find a path to good-paying jobs, middle-class jobs in high-growth industries, from information technology, energy, advanced manufacturing, health care - it's not just in manufacturing," said Biden, who has been tasked by Obama with leading a top-to-bottom review of federal job training programs.
Obama and Biden announced the grants at the Community College of Allegheny County West Hills Center in the western Pennsylvania borough of Oakdale.
