Now, for all you adventurous folk, take a look at this and tell me if you think ANYBODY, today, would do this for a living:
Mid-air repair...by a woman 1924
Hard to believe that stunts such as these used to be accomplished frequently. Does anyone recall the air-to-air refueling of one biplane to another using a long hose? Those people had to be either fearless or just plain crazy!
This woman has more guts than a sausage factory. Take a look at this film. Fabulous footage, although grainy due to time and bad equipment in those days compared to today, but what
nerve this gal had.
Gladys Ingles was a member of a barnstorming troupe called the 13 Black Cats in the 1920's.
Ingles was a wing walker; in this film, she shows her fearlessness in classic barnstorming
fashion to save an airplane that has lost one of its main landing gear wheels.
Ingles is shown with a replacement wheel being strapped to her back and then off she
goes as "Up She Goes," a duet from the era, provides the soundtrack. In the film, Ingles
transfers herself from the rescue plane to the one missing the main landing gear tire.
She then expertly works herself down to the undercarriage only a few feet from a
spinning propeller. It's certainly a feat many mechanics wouldn't even try on the ground with the
engine running.
She died at age 82. Click on the link below.......
Just READING the above account makes my hands and feet break out in a sweat. I can hardly bear to watch the video. My heart would literally pound itself to death if I were forced to try this job. Uff da!

Biggest & Best - This sale is large and well organized sale. You will find a great selection of equipment and low prices. It rivals even the big commercial events in Seattle.
Major savings on new gear - Local ski and snowboard shops bring new equipment at highly discounted prices often 50% or less than you would pay at their store. This isn't junk but often brand new equipment which didn't sell last year. Every year the snow sports industry over-manufactures as much as 30%. This gear is bought at a discount during the summer for swaps and early sales.
Major savings on used gear - This is also a great opportunity to help others out by selling your used equipment. This also means reducing your cost for your next set of gear.
Shopping Convenience - You can outfit the whole family since we have new and used equipment for beginners, intermediate, and advanced skiers and snowboarders. We also generally have everything you will need from under and outer garments to all the equipment.
Ski Day Convenience - It is much more convenient for new skiers and boarders to have used equipment than to stand in line to rent equipment. Renting locally also requires time for pickup and drop-off. Buying used is cost effective since used equipment generally sells for 10-40% of the original cost depending on the age and condition and it can cost less than renting for the season.
Don't want to miss this one. The best opportunity for great deals on fabulous gear!

Finished Empire. Loved it. Loved the talking AT-ATs, the space slug (although I kept thinking of the Robot Chicken sketch of the slug ordering Chinese after the Falcon escaped) and the ugnaught song.
More insight into Han and Leia's feelings for each other, and Lando became a real character. The author fleshed Lando out well.
Can't wait for Jedi Doth Return!

Thread: Setting up a predatory tank
Setting up a predatory tank
Whats up everyone! This is my first post here, just found the forum and site to be honest. Have a 75gal tank that was given to me by my aunt because of a Fire Oscar that I had at the time. He has since come and gone due to what we believe was hole in the head. Since he has gone, I have ALOT of space to fill in this tank. I just laid sand down (100lbs) and am currently watching this milky water settle. I plan on setting up an Predatory tank, with several different COOL fish. Right now I have 2-3 that are FOR SURE going into the tank. (pending reviews and advice)
-African Butterfly Fish
-Barracuda (Acestrorhynchus Isalinae)
-Banjo Catfish
My GF is VERY fond of the Angels and Black Knife fish, I'm cool with both so i have no discrepancy with this. Although I enjoy the Spiny fin eels (particularly the Tire Track) and the Purple spotted gudgeon, I am trying to find a Happy medium without causing a battle for position within my tank. will also be incorporating few snails to help irrigate the sand to prevent gas bubble from forming and to help with filtration.
Also am going to do a planted tank with a variety of plants and a few pieces of drift wood to help with Ph. Not to sure of what kind of lay out I want with this, if anyone wants to share some pics on here i would greatly appreciate it so I can get some ideas. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated and will be taken! Also if you see that one of these fish does better in pairs PLEASE let me know, last thing i need is a depressed fish lol.
So fish listed
-African Butterfly Fish
-Banjo Catfish
-Black Knife
-Tire Track Eel
-Purple Spotted Gudgeon
look forward to hearing from you all! Also have already hit up the general FW threads with this question (slightly adjusted here with their info taken into consideration)
Are you talking about the same tank as in the below thread you started earlier today ?
http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...t=#post1138780If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
Yup, that is the same one. The two that I was speaking with gave me some great info. Was hoping to kind of broaden my reviews by coming to the section labeled specifically for the predatory fish I am hoping to get more advice on these fish and their likely tank mates. i have adjusted a few of the fish per their advice.
The gudgeon and angelfish aggression towards one another would eventually cause problems,maybe.Black knife fish can be hit or miss on attitude,but it should be fine if it has a secure eel free hide.Fish have different "personalities",and everyone's experience is different.How about a school of large barbs or tetras to cause a distraction?Silver dollars or possibly T-barbs.(Spanner barbs)

Many people are required to wear custom foot orthotics to manage or resolve their foot pain. One major limitation in treating feet and lower limb conditions, especially in the city environment is working with and sourcing footwear that is comfortable but still suitable for formal office wear. Typically, these shoes are quite minimalist with limited room inside these shoes, making fitting orthotics difficult or even impossible. Thankfully two new innovations in orthotics are now available exclusively through my FootDr podiatry centres.
The Stealth Orthotic
This ultra-slim orthotic design is made out of a thin and flexible plastic material sandwiched between cushioned Ortholuna base, with a Orthoplush top surface that is odour resistant. The Stealth orthotic is semi-custom made and has contoured arch support and a soft metatarsal dome. They are very effective in alleviating symptoms of the heel, arch and forefoot pain such as neuroma's and bursitis. They fit famously into many formal and casual footwear styles including high heels, wedges and ballet flats.
The stealth orthotic is often used in conjunction with a full length custom orthotic to give the patient an alternative option when at work. Coupled with a comprehensive treatment program it offers patients the best chance of curing their foot pain once and for all.
The Cobra Device
Made with the same orthopaedic material and manufacturing process as our well known Orthema CAD/CAM orthotic manufacturing system, the Cobra device is a full custom made alternative.
What do we mean by fully custom made? Well, exactly what it means! The orthotic will be made to measure, for you based on the exact contours of your foot. With the luxury of having access to CAD/CAM orthotic design technology on site we are able to contour the orthotic to match your foot perfectly, as well as make modifications to give you the maximum amount of support possible whilst maintaining a slim design.
If you think these are a great alternative for you, or you are suffering from any form of foot or lower limb pain contact any of our my FootDr podiatry clinics for a consultation with one of our podiatrists. Visit www.myfootdr.com.au to book your appointment today!

Death and reincarnation are inescapable, but what happens in between? Without warning and without his memories, a boy who only recalls his last name - Otonashi - wakes up next to a girl named Yuri who offers him a gun and tells him to shoot an angel. Assuming it must be a misunderstanding, Otonashi is then almost killed by the angel and is drawn into Yuri's army to battle to delay the beginning of his next life. Immortality is within reach, but if Otonashi remembers how he died, will he keep fighting or allow himself to vanish? Really had some good moments, and the plot twists were totally amazing...

Story There's this shy girl who just moved back to the town she grew up in. She reunites with her childhood friend and they resume a friendship they thought had lost. Later the shy girl meets a boyish senior who all the lower grade students adore, because of course it's an all girls school. You've heard this before? Not surprising really, why? Because this is same story in every shoujo-ai. Aoi Hana does it good with a few subplots thrown into the mix to help keep things interesting. It's a very basic shoujo-ai story so it was mostly just a checklist anime. Shy girl, check... See full review
Man, this was such a good movie. I loved the characters, art, and sound. I was thinking I was in the movie. I watched this again recently, but did so back when it first came out. I really liked the story too, and felt like it was well told. There was no issues with animtion, sound, or anything beyond the scores. Other than that, I really thought it was a good anime movie and was worth buying it so I can own it legally.See full review

These are thoroughly delicious and quite easy to make! One side note: use PARCHMENT paper--subbing wax paper in a pinch sadly does not work as it adheres fiercely to the caramels even when greased. (Whoops, learn some things the hard way!)
I just made this recipe for the first time. It was so easy! I followed the recipe exactly as written and the caramels turned out great! Next time I will try to dip in chocolate.
to void the "grit" texture, do not stir, but swirl the contents only lightly. if you feel you must stir, try using a smaller utensil that you can get a good feel for and be very careful not to touch the sides or bottom of the pan. if the undissolved sugar gets stirred into the caramel, you get "grit"
I've made these about 5 times now, with various results. The 1st time I made them and they were flawless. The 2nd and since, they have been more gritty than I would like, but everyone still loves them (I tell them they are pralines)... But I'd really like to perfect the pliable caramel texture. Any suggestions as to how to avoid the grit?
Tried these yesterday for the first time. Failed miserably...because I didn't know that you can't make caramels in high humidity weather! Made them again this morning and they were PERFECT. Instead of pouring them in to a pan to cut into candies, I took the caramel right off the stove and poured it over 4 qts. of stove-popped popcorn to make a really gourmet caramel corn. I might cut it down to 3 qts. next time to up the amount of caramel on each kernel, but it is really good either way. I spread them out on two cookie sheets to set, and they were no longer sticky to the touch after only ten minutes or so. Would definitely make these again!
I made these after my local pharmacy was out of my standby Bequet sea salt caramels, and I was very happy with the result. I cooked to 250 after reading all of the warnings about consistency issues, but I found the caramel was more like toffee (not bad, but I renamed it-- thank you for the suggestion!). The candy was still fabulous, but I think I would prefer a softer caramel and will try for 249 on the next go around--probably tonight. Make extra because they go quickly!
I cooked the caramel to 248, and although it melted in your mouth, it was incredibly difficult to work with, even after extensive refrigeration. I will cook it to at least 250 next time. I also coated the caramels in chocolate and sprinkled them with more fleur de sel, which was delicious. The hardened chocolate made it possible to handle the caramels. I would suggest going very lightly on oiling the parchment, as well. I thought I had lightly oiled it, but my caramels came out coated in the oil. Overall a very solid recipe with good flavor!
I'm new to candy making and these really did come out pretty well. I followed the suggestion to reduce the amount of butter, probably down to just 4 Tablespoons. Might reduce even further next time as at room temperature they got kind of soft and melty. Still super delicious, just softer than I wanted. A little chill in the fridge and they were good to go again. Also dipped half of each piece in chocolate and topped with more salt. I think had I dipped the whole thing in chocolate the coating would have kept the really soft caramels from getting so melty. Best of both worlds, soft, chewy caramels and chocolate coating. I think that would be a winner.
This was a really good and easy recipe. I wanted to have the salt more pronounced so only added half to recipe and sprinkled remaining over the caramels. Delicious!
Made these yesterday, and they were, in a word, luscious! Followed recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly, if slightly soft. Next time I will probably cook to 1 or 2 degrees higher than 248 and may try to dip some of the completed caramels in chocolate. Also, I did add some Fleur de Sel crystals to the top of the candies before they set up completely as I really like the sweet-salty combo.

Finally saw "Transformers" for the first time on the big screen today before the DVD release.
"The Fantastic 4" and "Rise of the Siver Surfer" together.
I'm glad I just rented these ones.

Watched Dario Argento's Opera (1987) last night. It was one of Dario's movies that I had not seen yet, but owned for some time. There were some things that I didn't like about the movie, but overall I thought it was a pretty decent flick. It wasn't as good as Suspiria or Deep Red. I'd probably put it with the likes of Inferno and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, both of which I enjoyed. Worth a look if you are a fan...
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Watched Wrong Turn 2 last night. This movie was alright. I had heard really good things about it, so I was a little disappointed afterwards; but it wasn't bad. The whole reality show premise didn't work all that well imo. The first half of the movie was forgetful, but the second half was better. That Henry Rollins is something else. I was glad to see the gas station fellow from the first one make an appearance (the guy who just drinks Pepto Bismol); he was great. The movie did have some really good gore and effects, and the inbred mountain people looked pretty good (grotesque as it were). Overall this movie was your typical horror sequel, but better than most out there, but not as good as the first. I guess I would recommend it to fellow horror fans, or fans of Wrong Turn. It's worth a look...
Going to watch 28 Weeks Later this evening, I'm very much looking forward to this one.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Been a while since i've posted due to server issues, but here is a list of flicks i've watched in the last few few weeks.
"We are Marshall"- If you dig inspirational sports flicks, this is for you. Great story (well, not great if you look at the tragedy, but you read me) about a town recovering from a horrific tragedy. I wasn't sure what to make of McConaughey at first, but his performance defiantely grew on me. Good flick. Rating- *** out of ****
"Superman: Doomsday"- Pure crap. It deviates from the original story and creates a really poor one of their own. The voice acting is really bad too as Adam Baldwin is a really bad choice for Superman as he shows no emotion in his voice. The fight scenes are nifty, but they're the only good part. Rating 1/2 out of ****
"1408"- Now, i saw some of the previous blips about this flick and I really disagree. I thought it was a very creepy, very intense, and very well done horror film. I liked the lack of gore, which is refreshing and the idea that the real horrors lie in what's in the human mind and what was brought into the room with Cusack's character. Great film. Rating- ***1/2 out of ****
"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer"- Not a good flick. The plot is goofy, the characters are really poorly done and well, just not a good flick. the only saving grace is Chris Evans and the blips with the Surfer. Rating ** out of ****
and lastly,
"Reign Over Me"- Sandler is fantastic as a man recovering from losing his family in 9/11, but the film has too many random subplots and odd incidents to be coherent. The ending was also a mixed bag as it had a good message, but some elements of it just felt forced. I wanted to enjoy it and it could've been great, but it just wasn't there. Rating **1/2 out of ****
I have my MA exam a week from today, so i'm studying all week, but I did buy "Black Sheep" which i'm sure a few horror nerds have heard about. Mutated sheep run amok and eat humans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gEDUDmZkyc I've also tried to rent "Flight of the Living Dead" over the last few weeks, but the store I go to STILL hasn't gotten it in yet. They're supposed to call me when they do though.

After his fashion-model fiancee is horribly disfigured, an English surgeon (Peter Cushing) develops a technique to restore her beauty in 1968's Corruption. The problem is the treatment is only temporary so he's forced to find fresh tissue "donors" in order to maintain his girl's appearance. This modern Jack-the-Ripper story is watchable and not as predictable as you might expect. It's also worth checking out just to see Grand Moff Tarkin in a tussle with an Austin Powers-like photog at a swinging-60's flat-party-slash-photoshoot.
I picked up 28 Weeks Later and The Hills Have Eyes 2 at the library Friday afternoon but simply have not had time to sit and watch them. Frustrating.

I watched The Lion King on Broadway today on a college trip. Really great show, if you guys haven't seen it, you should really check it out next time you pay a visit to New York City.

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Not technically a movie, but I finally saw the "Epilogue" episode of Justice League Unlimited.
Absolutely beautiful. As sad as it is that the DCAU is gone, this was the way to wrap it up. Aside from Superman and Static Shock, it tied in well with all the series. Ace dying was actually sad, and makes you wonder if Bruce chose to name his dog Ace after her. Touches from the old Batman:TAS like the Grey Ghost movie and the cameo by the Phantasm were sheer poetry.
But the best part, the most powerful part, was tying everything back into the show that started it all, and reaffirming the character's place: The world will always need a Batman. Shocking as Terry's true origin turned out to be (even though I'd been spoiled on that bit, it still hits hard), the ending with him reconciling with his girl (I forget her name) and Bruce before leaving to go meet Kent (presumably not Clark?) gives us hope that the next Batman will be able to come to terms with his demons, to an extent.
Batman is the greatest hero ever conceived by man. Everyone else who puts on tights and fights evil is trying to live up to his legend.
And, with apologies to comic creators like Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Denny O'Neil, Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Grant Morrison, Alan Grant, and so forth, the animated version is the definitive version of the character.
Again, absolutely beautiful. Like I said, sad to see the universe go, but this is the way to tie it all up in a pretty bow and leave the viewer satisfied.

|Release date:
|4 July 2008
|Heavy Iron Studios
Join WALL•E on an adventure unlike anything you've seen before on PlayStation 2.
What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?
After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realise that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans. Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion a fast-paced adventure based on the DisneyoPixar film of the same name.
Take control of WALL•E and EVE and relive some of the movie's most thrilling moments as you explore 10 worlds filled with non-stop action and adventure, along with head-to-head multiplayer challenges. You will recognise the storyline, characters and key locations from the film as you carry out intense missions, dodge dangerous enemies and navigate your way through a futuristic world. In addition, the game will contain new storylines and environments that you won't see at the cinema.
- Play as your favourite characters from the upcoming DisneyoPixar movie
- Explore 10 worlds from the movie filled with action and adventure
- Play with your friends in head-to-head multiplayer challenges
The little robot everyone forgot
Take an adorable cleaning robot on a huge journey in WALL•E, a game based on the latest blockbuster from Pixar.
WALL•E is the latest blockbuster feature film from Pixar Animation Studios, one that critics have been hailing for its originality and its emotionally engaging story that draws on the traditions of silent movies.
The videogame of the same name follows the same story, in which all humans have evacuated Earth in spaceships after it became too polluted to support life, leaving behind thousands of WALL•E robots to clean up. However, the robots malfunctioned and, 700 years later, only one WALL•E remains, and after so many years in isolation he has developed emotions.
Then, a feminine robot called EVE arrives to search for vegetation and WALL•E falls in love, although his feelings are not reciprocated by the emotionally void Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. Yet still he clings to the hull of her spacecraft as she leaves and follows her into deep space.
For the opening levels, the developer faced the tough task of creating a fun game using a single character in an unpopulated world, and the results are original and entertaining. The player controls WALL•E as he goes about his business, clearing up the wasteland that Earth has become. The little robot is a joy to control as he scoots around smashing crates and collecting the blue tokens needed to progress to the next stage.
Gameplay is a unique mix of genres, combining platforming with, as unlikely as it sounds, skateboarding games. To access certain crates, WALL•E must use ramps and jump over gaps, and the level design is inventive enough to ensure this remains varied throughout; there's great satisfaction to be had by working out the best ways to gather those elusive tokens. Normal crates are destroyed by turning into a cube and crashing into them, while red ones must be dispatched with WALL•E's laser and bonus mini-games can be unlocked for finding every crate in a level.
The aforementioned variation in level design is the game's greatest strength; similar to the superb Ratchet & Clank series, it refuses to sit still and each new level is radically different from the last in both look and gameplay. There are stages in which you have to race downhill, breaking crates and ducking under pipes against the clock; one of the levels is an on-rails first person shooter that sees WALL•E flying through space, firing his laser at oncoming debris; and later levels introduce stealth elements.
Graphically, the game is true to its source material and each stage is a faithful recreation of a scene from the movie; impressive given their diversity. The early levels, with their hills of rubbish and tangled networks of pipes and cables, are extremely well designed and convey a sense of chaos and disorder without obscuring the correct path.
THQ's relationship with Pixar has been a fruitful one; both companies are committed to innovation and quality and WALL•E provides further evidence of this. While this game will appeal to the millions of people who have seen the film, it's a thoroughly entertaining title in its own right and well worth checking out if you're looking for a fun, well made game that the entire family will enjoy.
Like the little robot they forgot to turn off, WALL•E has already cleaned up at the box office; this game has all the qualities of a smash hit.

She's overrated. But, if I met her in person at a club or bar, I'm sure I'd think she was hot. She actually looks hotter in the transformer trailer than in real life stills.
She's cute, but I don't see anything that special about her. Never heard of her before now as well.
I find her barely above average, I wouldn't even turn to a buddy and make a comment if I saw her walking down the street.

The Fourth Amendment protects us from "unreasonable" government searches of our persons, houses, papers and effects. How courts should determine what is and isn't reasonable in our increasingly digital world is the subject of a new amicus brief we filed today in San Francisco federal court.
At issue is historical cell site data—the records of the cell towers a customer's cell phone connects to. The government has long maintained that it's unreasonable for customers to expect those records to remain private. As a result, the government argues it does not need a search warrant to obtain historical cell site records from cell phone providers.

EFF sent a letter this week opposing SB 962, a bill by California Senator Mark Leno that mandates every phone that will be sold in the state to have a "kill switch"—a technological solution that would remotely disable a smartphone if, say, it were stolen or lost. Despite our concerns, the bill passed out of committee in the Assembly.
There's a simple reason why we opposed this particular bill—and why we almost always oppose bills with technological mandates. Technology is fast; the law is slow. While there is an important place for policy in a world where the Internet and devices are readily available to both consumers and government actors, institutionalizing specific technical solutions—such as making every cell phone manufacturer feature a "kill switch" program—is risky.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
OXFORD – Tupelo businessman Ray Shoemaker goes to prison Thursday, notwithstanding some unforeseen legal maneuver.
Wednesday, his attorneys sought an emergency order to prevent his going, but Senior U.S. District Judge Neal B. Biggers Jr. denied it late in the day.
Shoemaker is due to report to a federal facility in Memphis to begin serving a 55-month sentence after a jury convicted him in a hospital kickback-bribery case.
But he contends he is innocent and asked Biggers to grant him bail while the 5th Circuit considers his conviction appeal.
Last week, 5th Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick returned Shoemaker's bail appeal to Biggers, asking him to address whether Shoemaker qualified for release pending the appeal.
When Biggers earlier denied Shoemaker's bail request, he did not rule on those issues, Southwick wrote.
In his denial order, Biggers said that while Shoemaker did not pose a public threat or flight risk, "the appeal fails to raise a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal, an order for a new trial, or a sentence that does not include a term of imprisonment."

Two arrested for LC Valley kidnapping
LEWISTON, Idaho - Two people have been arrested in Lewiston after a man was forced at gunpoint to go around the LC Valley withdrawing money from ATMs and purchasing expensive items.
Cheryl Bynum and John Owens were arrested in Asotin County for the bizarre kidnapping first reported on Sunday.
The victim claimed he was battered and taken from his home in Lewiston Orchards and taken to different locations around Lewiston and Clarkston, where he was forced to buy expensive items. He was also forced to withdraw money from ATMs around the valley.
He was then held against his will for nearly a day until, when he was left unattended, he escaped.
The Lewiston Police Department, supported by the Lewiston Police SWAT Team and the Asotin County Sheriff's Office, served simultaneous search warrants at 532 Burrell Ave. in Lewiston and 1360 Elm Street in Clarkston. Numerous stolen items were recovered from the Clarkston residence.
Bynum and Owens were arrested during the execution of the search warrants and were booked on multiple counts of kidnapping, robbery and burglary.

620 Michigan Ave. NE
Washington, DC 20064
Telephone: (202)-319-5424
View Music Library at CUA in a larger map
We are located on the campus of The Catholic University of America in Ward Hall (Benjamin T. Rome School of Music). Ward Hall is the red brick building just north of the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Harewood Road NE. The closest intersection is Michigan Avenue and Harewood Road or 4th Street NE. Ward Hall is shaped like a capital H. The Music Library is on the ground floor in the northeast corner. The street address of Catholic University is 620 Michigan Avenue NE, Washington, DC 20064. There is 3-hour non-metered parking on Harewood Road.
By Car: The driveway for Ward Hall is located on Harewood Road across the street from the Ukrainian Temple. From Taylor Street, NE, it will be on the left. From Michigan Ave., it will be on the right. Turn in to this driveway and Ward Hall is the first building on your left.
By Metro: Take the Red Line to the Brookland/CUA stop. Exit to your left (CUA side). We are on the west side of the campus, about a 7-minute walk from the metro. Walk to the right of Mullen Library. Walk in the general direction of the Basilica; pass MacMahon Hall (with a green dome on top) on your right. Ward Hall is the red brick building to the right of the Basilica. Go down the hill using the sidewalk between the Basilica and Ward Hall. Enter the building through the courtyard. Go down the stairs and through the building. When you see the soda machines, turn right and go through the other courtyard to the door on the opposite side. Or just ask someone when you get to the building!
Accessibility: The Music Library is wheelchair accessible. Since there is only one ramp, we recommend calling ahead (202.319.5424) so that someone can meet you at the Harewood Road sidewalk. Due to facilities constraints, all of the aisles in the library stacks are not accessible; however, our staff will be happy to retrieve items that are out of reach.

Cotsen sponsors conference on children in early Europe, April 18-20
Posted April 12, 2002; 03:25 p.m.
A conference titled "Seen and Heard: The Place of the Child in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1850" is scheduled for Thursday through Saturday, April 18-20, in the Convocation Room/Staff Lounge at the Engineering Quadrangle.
Sponsored by the Cotsen Children's Library , the event will feature 17 internationally-recognized scholars exploring how the figure of the child -- and actual children -- were central to the articulation of important philosophical, political, religious and cultural aspirations in early modern Europe. Topics that will be addressed include innocence, socialization, the acquisition of knowledge and innovations in teaching, as well as the consideration of children's status, experience and activities.
Sessions will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Registration at the door is $35 ($15 for students). For more information, contact Eric Johnson at 258-1148. Visit the conference Web site for program information and abstracts of the papers.

By Tiernan Ray
Barclays Capital hardware analyst Ben Reitzes today reiterates an Overweight rating on shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO), and raises his price target to $27 from $24, writing that the stock is "emerging as the next way to play a theme we call the 'industrialization of tech,' by which he means, coming to grips with slowing growth and paying out more cash to shareholders, "just like industrial companies have done over several decades."
Reitzes's note comes after Cisco late thursday said it would hike its quarterly dividend 21% to 17 cents from 14 cents. The stock today closed down 7 cents at $20.83, giving it a 3.3% dividend yield.
The dividend yield, he notes "is now above IBM (IBM), GE (GE), and Honeywell (HON)," adding, "If Cisco traded at 3M (MMM) or Tyco's (TYC) yield, the shares would trade in the mid to high $20s."
"While we expect Cisco to deliver revenue growth only in the mid-single-digit range long term, we believe the company is adding more software value to
its products to sustain margins," writes Reitzes.
"Unlike many industrial companies and even IBM, we believe Cisco still has the opportunity to further optimize its balance sheet, leading to much greater cash returns."
Reitzes likes the way Cisco is adding software, primarily through acquisitions, and he likes the low leverage it has, implying room for more borrowing:
We believe recent acquisitions such as Meraki, Intucell, SolveDirect and NDS are examples of Cisco's desire to add value layers to its core in networking. Also, we are optimistic that organic investments in the data center, wireless LAN and the upcoming Insieme spin-in, could help stabilize growth and offset the weakness in switching. In short, the cloud and software-defined movements are threats in some cases – but not every company in tech will wither away. We believe that Cisco has a place to be a consistent "plumber" of data – and co-exist with these threats – growing more slowly and generating cash flow in well in excess of net income. To that end, our analysis points toward Cisco having the ability to raise its dividend yield at a compounded rate of 15-20% over the next 3 years, while also reducing share count and making tuck-in acquisitions. The company also has options to repatriate overseas cash (85% of its current cash balance) or – more likely – raise more debt. The company's debt/capital ratio is only ~20% and could be as high at 30-40% if desired.

Former Middle East correspondent to discuss war in Iraq, Oct. 22
Posted October 15, 2003; 09:26 p.m.
Goldenberg, U.S. correspondent for The Guardian newspaper, will share her experiences covering the war in Iraq at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22, in 1 Robertson Hall.
Her address, titled "A Fearful, Lawless and Broken Place: War and Occupation in Iraq," is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Princeton Peace Network .
Before moving to Washington, D.C., in October 2002, Goldenberg was Middle East correspondent for the London-based Guardian. She was among a relatively small group of Western journalists who elected to stay in Iraq earlier this year when the war erupted. She was in the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad on April 8, the day that it was shelled by a U.S. tank, and was in Firdouz Square, one day later on April 9, to watch the first toppling of a statue of Saddam Hussein. She returned to Iraq for a month this September to write about the future consequences of America's military campaign.
Goldenberg is the winner of several awards for her work, including: Journalist of the Year in Britain's What the Papers Say awards in 2001; and Journalist of the Year in Britain's Foreign Press Association awards in 2002.

Upcoming Australian Shows
- Written by Dave Walsh
If you don't watch anything from the Australian kickboxing/Muay Thai scene, you are sadly missing out on some great action. There are a number of great promotions running in Australia, and the shows consistently deliver top end fights with a combination of veterans like Paul Slowinski and John Wayne Parr, along with hot prospects like Thor Hoopman and recent K-1 star Ben Edwards. It's a very busy scene, with multiple upcoming shows; here are four shows definitely worth a look:
Feb. 26 - Knees of Fury 32: This show is all about the main event, which is a great battle of old guard vs. new. On one side is Paul Slowinski, who for years has been the top Australian representative to the international Heavyweight kickboxing scene. He faces the young Thor Hoopman, a John Wayne Parr trainee who is on the cusp of big things. Hoopman defeated Slowinski via decision in late 2009, and will look to score the 2nd victory here. Hoopman is still developing, and is not yet perfectly consistent, but I have high hopes for his future, and would love to see him get another good win here. The rest of the card includes: Kym Johnson vs Wes Capper; Myles Simpson vs Flip Street; Martin Olczak vs Jye Demmrich; Charlie Chau vs Hiki Hanui; Tenille May vs Sarah O'Connell; Steve Behan vs Cameran Murcott; and Tom Boyle vs Jun Lee.
April 2 - Kings of Kombat 3: More from the busy Slowinski, as this time he takes on the legend Peter Graham. This is a sort of battle of generations, as Graham was one of K-1's main Australian representatives through the early 2000's, winning a number of big fights, including a defeat of Badr Hari, until he saw that spot taken by Slowinski in the middle part of the decade. These two have met twice before, splitting the battles 1-1. While neither man is at his peak any more, this will still be a battle that Australian fans are excited about, and it should be close. Both men have had recent successes, including an MMA victory over Aleksander Emelianenko for Graham. The semi main event is also a big fight, as reigning K-1 Oceania champion Ben Edwards faces the former K-1 Vegas champ Carter Williams, who continues to try and make a comeback after a lengthy absence from the ring. Also signed is Jordan Tai vs. Steve Moxon and Atal Kakar vs. Supi Lanumata.
April 9 - Evolution 23: In this crowded scene, Evolution is leads the way. They put on shows featuring full Muay Thai rules that spotlight both local fighters along with some names from Thailand. Their 23rd show is coming up, and the main event is a good one, as longtime Aussie veteran Bruce "The Preacher" Macfie faces Frank Giorgi. This is a rematch from Evolution 22 where Giorgi scored the somewhat surprising win over Macfie, who at the time was riding high off a win over John Wayne Parr. The other fight I'm really looking forward to is Michael Thompson vs. Flip Street. Thompson is one of my favorite younger talents in this scene, and this is a good fight for him. Also on the card: Leonard Sitpholek vs. Danny Derdowski; Dane Daddy Cool vs. Serrachino; and Eli Madigan vs. Jason Scerri.
May 27 - Payback Time 3: Finally, the first fight in John Wayne Parr's 2011 retirement tour sees him main event here against his longtime rival Mike Zambidis. Zambidis is coming off his resurgent 2010 that saw him win the fight of the year against Chahid in K-1 MAX, while Parr has announced that 2011 will be his last year as a fighter. These two men are 1-1 against each other, with their fights held up as some of the greatest in the history of the Australian scene. With Parr's career coming to and end, Zambidis on the comeback trail, and both men looking to definitively win the series, this could be the Fight of the Year.

I just realized that I haven't heard "May the Force be with you" or seen a MTFBWY in text in a really long time. Back before the prequels had run their course, it was a pretty common catchphrase of the SW faithful, and was a pop culture element as well. Heck, "Star Wars Day" May the 4th has become a semi-popular meme and yet this year's I didn't see much actual reference to the phrase.
So what's different? Is it due to the limited use in the Prequels, where it's only used by the Jedi a few times? Is it just fading away naturally? Is the OT itself being overshadowed by all the prequels and cartoons and video games?

Bet you can't say "butter biscuits" five times fast! These tender, flaky biscuits sure will disappear in a hurry.
For tender biscuits, knead only five times. That's just enough to make the dough smooth and well coated so it's no longer sticky.
Don't like to knead dough? Make drop biscuits by decreasing the Bisquick mix to 2 1/4 cups and skipping the kneading step. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes. You'll get 10 drop biscuits.

It is with great regret that Nakeah has passed away yesterday. She was accidentally backed into by a car and her leg was dislocated at the hip. Giving her age and condition the vet suggested we have her put down as her chances of recovery were poor. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.
Nakeah had a great life of freedom and many adventures. She will be sadly missed. She will be buried overlooking the river in front of our house where she spent much of her life…at least until the chalets were built and they had a view and steak and eggs for breakfast! Nakeah was 12 years old…good years for a larger husky. Nanook is doing well although she is staying a little closer to us. I think she will be fine.
I know there are pictures of her all over the world. I think the only way Key and Nook would have been more famous was to be movie stars! Please feel free to post comments and pictures on our Facebook page… we would love to see them.
Paul, Joy, Jack and Heidi

Solid high quality construction and functional design makes the Venetian the Blue Rooster Company flagship chiminea.

U.S. ambassador for war crimes issues to speak
Posted November 19, 2008; 05:19 p.m.
The U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues, Clint Williamson, will present "An Overview of U.S. War Crimes Policy at the Change of Administration" at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Williamson, a career federal prosecutor, has served in his current post since June 2006. As the U.S. envoy for war crimes issues, he regularly meets with top foreign government and United Nations officials to promote accountability, peace and stability, and the rule of law.
Williamson was director of stability operations at the National Security Council from 2003 to 2006 and also served as an adviser to the Iraqi Ministry of Justice as part of his duties with the council. From 2001 to 2002, he served in the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations, overseeing the justice and prison systems in Kosovo. For seven years prior to that, he worked as a trial attorney at the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia in the Hague, Netherlands. Among the cases Williamson handled were those against former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and paramilitary leader Zeljko Raznatovic.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Blood pressure drugs like ACE inhibitors slow the rate of cognitive decline typical of dementia and may even increase brain power
Singapore: A research published in the online journal BMJ Open, highlighted that ACE inhibitors, which are a class of drugs used to lower blood pressure, may slow the rate of cognitive decline typical of dementia and may even boost brain power.
The researchers compared the rates of cognitive decline in 361 patients who had either been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, or a mix of both. Eighty five of the patients were already taking ACE inhibitors; the rest were not.
The researchers also assessed the impact of ACE inhibitors on the brain power of 30 patients newly prescribed these drugs, during their first six months of treatment. The average age of all the participants was 77.
Between 1999 and 2010, the cognitive decline of each patient was assessed using either the Standardized Mini Mental State Examination (SMMSE) or the Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment (Qmci) screen on two separate occasions, six months apart. When compared with those not taking ACE inhibitors, those on these drugs experienced marginally slower rates of cognitive decline.
In those whose brain power had been assessed by Qmci, which is a more sensitive screen than the SMMSE, the difference was small, but significant. And the brain power of those patients newly prescribed ACE inhibitors actually improved over the six month period, compared with those already taking them, and those not taking them at all.

I added a bunch of new wisdom to the script that powers the wisdom mill.
I added a bunch of new wisdom to the script that powers the wisdom mill.
I made some updates to the site I set up for my friend Roger Boylan's book Killoyle, An Irish Farce, including adding a new page with the links to a synopsis of his sequel to the book and full text of the prolog and first chapter.
Lennart Staflin announced the release of a new ALPHA version of Emacs/PSGML. Anybody can download it and try it out. From the announcement:
I have taken Dave Love's patches and merged with the changes I did between 1.2.4 and 1.2.5. I think Dave only tested with Emacs 21, and I haven't done extensive testing either. It would be nice if we could get this working on Emacs 19.23, 20.7, 21.x and on XEmacs ??.? before doing a public release.
I spent some worthwhile time test-driving Bob Stayton's XSLT-based system for implementing DocBook olinks, which are for creating hypertext links among sets of documents (instead of links within documents or links to external URLs). It works very well. He's put a olink kit together that makes it really, really easy to try out -- and written some very good initial documentation for it.
Cheers to dmerrill. I came across his announcement of the Linux Documentation Project's Lampadas Project.
Lampadas will provide a web interface for authors to easily write documentation and for LDP staff to easily manage the document collection. Lampadas will be a very powerful publication system, and more powerful than any currently available in the Free Software/Open Source world. It will offer features oriented toward authors as well as the reader, such as document annotation.
Development version at: http://www.lampadas.org
A really handy piece of it is a Perl module + script for converting plain text/WikiText to DocBook, called wt2db:
There's an LDP how-to about how to author in WikiText.
You can check out wt2db from the LDP cvs and run it locally.
1. Log into their anonymous cvs: cvs -d :pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot login
2. Grab the wt2db module: cvs -d :pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot\ co LDP/wt2db/
3. It also requires the HTML::Entities perl module, so do:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
4. At the cpan> prompt, type: install HTML::Entities
5. Once that's done, you should be able to run the Makefile in the wt2db distribution ./Makefile.PL
Opi recounts our epic first meeting. Cheers, Opi, for setting up the #docbook channel.
In his WikiHomepage on the DocBook Wiki, ndw tells how he first got involved with DocBook (in a reply to a question from connolly).
Good news: LotR has been committing a bunch of changes to his db2man code (for converting DocBook to 'roff man pages), including some patches from Tim Waugh (and with an assist from Jirka Kosek). Will be very nice to have a pure XSLT DocBook->man solution in the DocBook stylesheet distribution.
Added some things to the DocBook Wiki that ndw recently set up.
Made lots of updates recently to the Docs page for the DocBook Open Repository Project.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Game Info
The Adventure Begins
Four Pokémon friends set off on a new adventure!
The story begins when Pikachu, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott find themselves washed up on a riverside they don't recognize.
Your first decision is to choose one of the four Toy Pokémon to control. The other three will act on their own in battle and support you.
The adventure takes place in a town with a Toy Shop. You'll work your way through the various areas on the way back to the Toy Shop. Your first challenge takes place in the Sparkly Playland Area!
Keep type matchups in mind and try to use moves that will be super effective!
The first Toy Pokémon to block the way of Pikachu and pals is Keldeo!
Keldeo is leading a group of Water-type Toy Pokémon!
Up against Water-type Toy Pokémon, Pikachu's Electric-type moves, and Snivy's Grass-type moves are super effective—meaning they can deal damage more effectively!
Keep type matchups in mind to gain an edge in battle!
Complete the battle and you'll be able to befriend a whole host of Water-type Toy Pokémon!
Next up is Charizard, who leads a group of Fire-type Toy Pokémon. The Water-type Toy Pokémon you just befriended will really show their worth here!
Continue befriending Toy Pokémon in this way so you can always have the right type for each battle you enter!
Huge rumbles with hordes of Pokémon!
Luxray's stage awaits you after you're finished with Charizard. The battle stage resembles some kind of strange rocket.
Hordes of Toy Pokémon pour out from inside Rockets. Deal with them quickly or the screen will fill up with Toy Pokémon! Try to destroy Rockets to prevent more Pokémon from entering the stage.
What are the enemy Pokémon plotting?
Over the course of your adventure, you'll have to battle certain Toy Pokémon who refuse to return to the Toy Shop for some reason. Whatever could be their reason for not wanting to go back to the Toy Shop?
It also appears that a certain someone may have been behind Pikachu and pals getting taken from the Toy Shop and thrown into the river.
What motivation could this mastermind have for doing such a thing?
Befriend Legendary and Mythical Pokémon!
In some areas, even Legendary and Mythical Toy Pokémon will appear. Don't miss the opportunity to befriend them after you've defeated them! Collecting all 649 Toy Pokémon is a big part of the fun in Pokémon Rumble U!

Terrabianca Campaccio 2007
Other Red Blends from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
#36 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2011
Bright, deep ruby red color. A bouquet of dark berry fruit, a hint of cocoa and toasted almond, and tanned leather aroma. Perfectly balanced body, with concentration and freshness. Overall balance, solidly built with very well-developed tannins.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Very silky and floral, this red reminds me of Burgundy with its bilberry, violet and raspberry aromas and flavors. The grainy tannins show the other side to this wine, which will require time for the two components to balance. Ends with a long, intense, fruit-filled finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2014 through 2027."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Campaccio is beautifully ripe and succulent in its dark, extroverted fruit. In 2007, Campaccio veers on the edge of overripeness but there is just enough acidity to keep things in check. French oak, smokiness, new leather and licorice add depth to the rich, creamy finish. I am not sure how the 2007 will age, but it should provide highly pleasurable drinking for at least another decade. Campaccio is 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. "
Terrabianca Winery
The first document to mention Terrabianca is dated 1085: two centuries before Dante. Located just over 35 miles from Florence towards Siena, in the heart of Chianti Classico, its gently rolling country is much the same as it was in the Middle Ages. The Guldeners have 'only' been here since 1987; although in this relatively short period of time, they have propelled the estate to the highest quality levels, entirely restoring the seventeenth-century homestead, constructing a brand new winery, and restructuring the Terrabianca range.
In 1997, the couple purchased a second property, some 44 miles southwest of the original Terrabianca nucleus: Il Tesoro di Terrabianca ("Treasure of Terrabianca"). Its 262 acres bring the Guldeners' total acreage to 334, and are a mere 6 miles from the sea, in Maremma - the new frontier of Tuscan viniculture. This recent acquisition focuses on the olive oils (from over 4,000 Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino olive trees, many of which some 300 years old!) and Sangiovese grapes that go into a youthful and appealing 100% varietal, La Fonte. Packaging and label for this wine (see photo) have been kept distinct from the rest of the line, although the product itself is also styled by Vittorio Fiore, Terrabianca wine-maker from day one. View all Terrabianca Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Today, the 18 kilometer-long sandbar is still popular with families enjoying the warm Adriatic beaches. The glitzy Venice Film Festival is held in Lido every August - September.
