« more RISD stories
Sakamoto uses g-speak to create an interactive piece that responds to a user's hand claps
RISD partners with
Japanese font developer Morisawa to explore creative leadership and innovation
through art and designDoes studying art and design make people more creative? And
does that creativity translate into innovation in the workplace? These were
among the many questions posed when RISD teamed up with Morisawa & Company Ltd., a
boutique Japanese font developer, to establish a Research Fellowship Program.
Together, the two organizations have embarked on a nine-month
experiment to develop the company's most promising young employees into agile-minded
'business designers' – non-designers who incorporate design thinking into the
company's business practices and drive new approaches to innovation.
RISD President John
Maeda has spoken to this idea as part of his push to integrate art
and design into the national innovation agenda. "Before, you'd make a perfect
product and then ship it," he says. "Now, companies have to ship something
that's not perfect and fix it while it's out there. That requires a different kind
of business mind – one that can take risks, be adaptive and change."
Though they may seem quite different on the surface, RISD
and Morisawa share certain underlying values. Both place a great deal of
emphasis on craft and designs made by hand. And like RISD, Morisawa is
continually trying to push the envelope and find new ways to innovate.
These shared values, coupled with a personal relationship between
Maeda and the company's executive director Takeshi
Morisawa, led the two organizations to explore opportunities for
collaboration. The Research Fellowship Program involves selecting one Morisawa
employee each academic year (a second fellow has been named for 2011–12) to become
part of the RISD research and teaching environment, and to help build bridges
for sustained collaboration.
Keitaro Sakamoto,
the first Morisawa research fellow, finished
his year-long cultural and educational immersion at RISD at the end of spring
semester. In addition to an intensive program of graduate-level Graphic Design and Digital+Media classes, he sat in on classes in a variety of other fields, reached out to faculty
across multiple disciplines, explored the Rhode Island arts community and became
fully engaged in his new environment, going so far as to keep a photo blog
on Flickr of all his meals, starting with a Haven
Brothers hot dog.
Working with his RISD mentors, Sculpture faculty member Lane Myer 80 GD and former Associate Provost David Bogen, Keitaroinitiated and self-directed his studies
around his own interests, while being open to new opportunities and creative
risk-taking. It's a strategy that paid off. With a love of anime but only a
basic high school-level art education, he threw himself into developing
sophisticated projects that incorporate typography, 3D design, motion and time.
For example, over Wintersession, he learned both G-speak (an
experimental spatial operating environment) and Processing
(a programming language) in order to create the interactive piece holy clap, an animation that responds to a user's hand claps.
Keitaro also took an analogue approach in working with
visiting designer Vaughan Oliver to
create a paper-based calendar. The time
constraints of the two-day workshop led him to develop an iterative way of
working, making small-scale samples to test and prototype his ideas.
"I always set very advanced goals, but I had no time,"
Keitaro explains. "At every step I found that 'I can't do that so I have to
change my mind.' I think that changing my mind is also a starting point of
creativity; [it made me think about] how to show the same expression in different
ways. I didn't throw away the initial idea and instead created an idea that is
more simplified."
At RISD, Maeda noted, Keitaro discovered
the value of experimentation and the audacity to explore, which will enable him
to be agile and take risks when he returns to Japan.
"The willingness to explore is woefully undervalued," Bogen agreed.
"It's not always understood what it takes for corporations and institutions to
truly explore and step into that open-ended space."
To ask a visiting researcher without a design background to investigate
whether the creative process has wider applications in the business world was a
great experiment in itself, Myer points out. "Having a company enlightened
enough to endorse this kind of learning is inspirational," he says. The
critical, hands-on approach to problem solving and the type of "inquiry that is
taught and experienced here [at RISD] is clearly translatable." And it's
especially valuable in "that it doesn't have any limitations on who can use it."related linksMorisawa & Company LtdG-speak

It's kinda disconcerting to see your own face on someone's blog...
But I asked for it.
People responded when I asked my readers: Want Some Link Love?
The first was Markk, who authors at least three blogs:
1 - WiredHound
2 - Common Sense with Markk
3 - The Next Post
He wrote up this post about me on The Next Post and gave some good and honest feedback on what he thought about my blog.
I'm gonna incorporate some of his advice in coming weeks.
So here's my review of The Next Post in return...
I like:
The Next Post has a nice, clean look.
And that banner at the top advertising Asian interests is so different and unique, it catches my attention every time I visit his blog.
Of course I love that Markk has email sign-up boxes prominently displayed on his blog.
I signed up right away.
There are so many techie good things to check into on his sidebar, I will be back often.
This is a personal pet peeve of mine, but I really don't like it when blog authors don't load their pics in their profile.
I just feel closer to people that I can see.
Tons of other people probably feel that way, too.
It's as if the anonymous bloggers are telling me, "I don't trust you enough to let you know the real me."
Common Sense with Markk
is even more up my alley, with its blogger tips.
It has all the bells and whistles that I want to steal -- including that nifty Babel Fish language translator that I've been meaning to put on my blog.
Again-- and this is a testament to what a great blog designer Markk is -- the only thing that really puts me off is the lack of an author pic.
(Plus, he would benefit from adding his full byline to each post on the onset. Especially since readers are probably hunting for more info about who authors the blog.)
Think about it: What most popular bloggers come to your mind?
* John Chow?
* Darren Rowse?
* Jeremy Shoemaker?
And we all know (or can readily find out) what they look like...
It's not a vanity thing, it's more for a point of reference. I really believe it makes the difference.

Hi Paula!
I wanted to comment on your pet peeve. I know for me, I haven't shown my personal picture because of privacy issues, not because I don't want someone to know me. I think I share alot of who I am and what I struggle with, some about my husband, some about my daughter. They are the ones who inspire me to write about me. But I do want people to know a bit about me, and I personally think that my "eye" illustrates a good bit about who I am (I did a post about the eye, especially for those who are on MyBlogLog).
So Paula, please don't feel like I don't want you to get to know me just because you don't see a picture. That's why I come to your blog - because I do want you to know a bit about who I am.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Hey Paul - Your pic reminds me of John Favereau...
Does anyone else tell you that?
KWiz - I guess I understand.
People have plenty of reasons why they don't want to display their real pics.
I'm just hoping to change all their minds... ;-)
- Sunday, March 04, 2007 12:25:00 AM
Thanks Paula. Maybe someday I might put my picture out there. Maybe I might put my daughter's out there (I'm actually thinking of that for the header of my blog, but not sure how that will relate to the title). But thanks for trying to understand.
Much blog love!!!

Hi TDH,
My name is Wes. I'm new to this costuming world. I recently began an E3 Clone build by starting and finishing the bucket but have decided to switch gears to a boba build. I have yet to decide between ROTJ or ESB.. I like ROTJ jetpack more but the blue flight suit is great in the ESB version.
Anyway I had a few questions:
How much do these builds usually run? I have a dremel, sand paper, bondo, paint. So I'm mainly looking at the cost of the armor, bucket, and accessories. I see people selling theirs for $1,000.. that's how much a kit costs for a clone so I'm liking the cost more... but I may be mistaken
Who sells what? I know manofwar makes gauntlets, boots and other stuff but he isn't always selling the jetpacks. Who should I get the bucket kit from?
How hard is the paint job? The weathering for boba looks incredibly challenging..
Thank you for your help!!

|If you can find a car rental company that'll let you pick up in Van and drop off in Cal, that'd be the way to go (assuming you can get a cheap flight home from Calgary). When you're searching for driving times between resorts, google maps is decent but slow. In the math I've done, they estimate about 15% longer than it actually takes as long as you're not stopping every hour to take a leak or drive like my grandma!
Thanks for all your replies guys, special mention to poutanen for the in depth review, also Snowolf, justin & donutz for where to pickup sum snow gear.
Im trying to rate all the mountains mentioned for their features & travel distance/time. Would you guys say it would be better for us to drive frm Vancouver to Calgarry, or fly there, pick up a car & drive around to the mountains & finally drop it off at Vancouver(if they'll let me do that)? Coz it looks like most of the mountains are towards Calgarry way, Revelstoke being the furthers away & there's not much between that and Vancouver. Hmmm... seems like airfares arent all that cheap either at around $220ea for a 1 way, Van to Cal.

Nakiska can have great days, and it can have shitty days. Obviously with less snowfall than most of the rest it's hardpack way more often than the rest. On the plus side it's not on many snowboarders radars, so with even a small dump of snow you can find great lines and some fun glade runs with almost no lift lines.
To the OP, you might be getting a little adventurous to want to do all that in 2-3 weeks. The drive from Fernie to Lake Louise or Banff is about 4.5 hours alone. If it were me, if you must see whistler, I'd fly into Vancouver and rent a car, do the whistler thing, then drive through the lower part of BC to Fernie (stopping at some of the resorts on the way as Snowolf suggested)... Plan to spend a few days in Fernie if the powder is falling, because it may be some of the best off-piste snowboarding you'll ever do. If it's raining you'll want to bypass Fernie and head North to Kicking Horse or Revelstoke... There's a place near Canal Flats, BC called the Lussier Hot Springs. I would strongly suggest a drive into the site for a free hot springs dip in the back woods of BC. The road in is amazing in the summer, in the winter it could get treacherous but the scenery will be fantastic.
After KH or Revelstoke (or both) I'd make my way to Banff and spend a few days there, boarding at Sunshine or Lake Louise. Of the two, I MUCH prefer Lake Louise. Sunshine has a lot of flat areas that require unclipping unless you're a pro on the flats. My GF wasn't impressed. I found a lot of decent runs but also a lot of issues with the place. Lake Louise offers something for everybody, at every level. Check some of my threads for pictures of the place.
For me I'm constantly flip flopping between Lake Louise and Fernie as my favourite resort. Fernie has the off-piste tree boarding hands down, but can get rain and is avalanche prone so the bowls may be closed for days on end. I've been lucky to get great weather at Fernie, and had my biggest and best powder days there. It's the resort where I've stopped in the middle of a run, looked around, and said to myself "this is what it's all about" more than any other run. But then I've had some amazing days at Lake Louise that were almost as good, and the lift situation is arguably a little better at the lake. Neither of them have 100% high speed lift access to the highest peaks. Some of the bowls in Fernie require 2-3 lifts to get to the top, and then the same to get back out. At lake Louise you can ride the gondola to the top, come down to the top of the world 6 pack and then over to the platter, ride the chutes in the back, come up the first quad and do it all over.
For fast laps Nakiska actually has my record. I've done some 35 km in 1.5 hours at Nakiska. Most I've done in a full day was 90 or so km and that was at Lake Louise. If I wanted to beat a record it would be at nakiska with it's 100% high speed lifts. I'd just get bored after 4-5 hours there. Hard to get bored at the other places!
Have fun!
Feb in banff can be hit or miss (lake louise, sunshine, nakiska, ect). If you guys have a car it won't be a big deal because you can just watch the snow reports and not go that far east if you don't want to.
If you are looking for some park when you are here, louise is pretty good (not as good as wistler im sure). I haven't been to castle mountain (45min east of fernie) but i think they might have a pretty good park. i am planning on doing some riding there next year.
Mountains that i would not make an effort to go to unless then have a big dump are, Nakiska, Kimberly, and Panorama. In fairness i have only been to nakiska of those 3 however i have never hear good things about kimberly and pano.
I have been to Red Mountain and it was a great time and a cool place like snow wolf said. I have not been to whitewater yet but i hear great things.

Chasing the dream in BC
Hey guys, planning a trip to BC, Canada next season. Planning on arriving late Jan starting in Whistler before a road trip thru the Rockies. We're a bunch of Aussie guys chasing the powder & sum memorable moments while we're away. We decided that we had to stop in Whistler for the good snow & the great nightlife from wot we've heard. Spending bout 10nights here followed by a road trip thru the Rockies for about 1.5wks in early Feb. We're trying to decide on which places to stop at. Sum of the places ive read about are Banff, Lake Louise, Revelstoke, Kicking Horse, Fernie.
The level of experience between us varies, one of us is pretty advance, myself who's intermediate to a few guys who are beginners. Luv to ride sum good powder if possible, off piste & maybe areas where u can take on a couple of jumps to spice things up a little. And once the sun goes down where are the great nite spots and where the lovely Canadian ladies are at
So do make sum suggestions, help out sum fellow riders. Thanks.

text: I can vouch for the Kriega kit too. I've had the R30 for about 4 years now. I was using it for a while but the first time I used it in the rain it let a little water seep in. When i checked the waterproof inner there was a very small fold in the lining that was the culprit. I e-mailed Kriega (a relatively local company to me) and they sent me a replacement that I received within a couple of days and an apology from them. First class customer service and I have had no problem with the bag since. They even come with a ten year guarantee in the UK. As you say, the harness takes a lot of the weight off your shoulders but also, my rear seat is higher than the front and the bottom of the bag sits on this meaning I hardly notice it is there.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > A Cost of High Trust: Opportunistic (and Disproportionate) Deceit to Female Negotiators
Laura Kray, WAPPP Fellow; Professor, Haas School of
Business, University of California, Berkeley
In this session, we will examine the relationship between gender and the likelihood of being deceived in face-to-face negotiations. Prior research has demonstrated that due to gendered socialization patterns, females are expected to be higher in interpersonal trust (IT) than males in the face of deceit. Therefore in our own research, we expected more deception targeted at female than males. Using confederates who followed a scripted pattern of deceit, Study 1 (N = 75) showed that females were higher in IT than males, both before and after being deceived. Whereas greater questioning of lies predicted lower IT for males, females' IT was unaffected by their questioning of lies. Study 2 involved a negotiation simulation in the MBA classroom (N = 298). As hypothesized, females were deceived more frequently than males, yet females perceived no less honesty in their counterparts than did males. Furthermore, deception predicted higher agreement rates and more negative subjective experiences for negotiation dyads involving females. In our session, we will discuss these results and examine how the topic of deception of females in negotiations might be approached or circumvented.
Lunch will be provided.
An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Can't edit my post above!
In the post above I meant an SD card not CF (compact flash?). You know what they are . . .those tiny little thingies in cameras and such. Also regarding the laptop; they are a real PITA when tuning a motorcycle. The SD card is a great way to record data on a motorcycle.
I apologize for thread drift. This O2 sensor stuff probably should be in another thread but Ill make a comment here because others may be interested. Probably not relevant for you since you have already bought a system you are happy with.
If you have a laptop then the Innovate LC-1 would do the same as your ZT-2 but at a lower cost. $199 vs. $279. I am not plugging any product and I am not affiliated with Innovate in any way. Im sure they both do a good job. This is offered here in case others are in research mode
However, sometimes a laptop is a liability in a big way. If the car gets upset the laptop becomes a unguided missile. When high speed driving its difficult to manage or is a hassle. Some of the Innovate products use a CF card which is great. You just record and when testing is over you pull out the card and read it into any computer. You dont need a laptop in the car and keeps everything clutter free.
The photo in my post above is an actual "screenshot" of the output from my Zeitronix unit. As you can see, mine is working OK. It wasn't happy when I was running points/condenser, but now the Pertronix trigger and 45 kv coil feeding the MSD box sends the Zeitronix unit a nice, clean square wave. It provides an RPM readout, which is the "X" axis, and the a/f ratio provides the "Y" axis in real time while testing.
The Innovate unit is complete and self contained, while the Zeitronix unit needs a laptop to provide readout. I looked at the Innovate unit, but liked the laptop idea...............and the cheaper price...................with the Zeitronix, so I bought one of those.
Again, mine works great. Thanks a lot for your concern, and the link.
Here's a link I just found when I Googled "spark plugs" and "pepper":
Very interesting and much more complex than I've ever seen in other explanations. In agreement with what you said above. I never realized that you had to look way down to the base of the porcelain, with a flashlight and magnifying glass to really make an accurate appraisal of what's going on. Of course, that assumes fresh, clean plugs!
For some reason the system will not let me post your quote.
Innovate makes this inductive pick-up for systems that don't have a RPM source. Will it help you get the RPM signal you need?
Good point about Comps use of .015 for duration and I agree with their reasoning. It has a lot to do with viscosity, turbulence, and flow. I am not a CFD guy but Ill make a futile attempt to sum it up. When you push a fluid through a tiny orifice you reach such a high point in velocity that the turbulence generated slows, or even stops, any further increase in flow. (kind of a Bernoulli thingy). Comp is probably right in assuming there is little to no flow at anything less than .015 of the valve curtain. Thus mechanical duration is not the same as flow duration.
Sorry about my trivial treatment of detonation i.e., (pepper on the insulator). When a cylinder starts detonating the first thing that gets knocked off by the shock wave is any residual carbon or other crud that has accumulated in a dirty cylinder over time. These particles attach, or get imbedded onto the plug insulator. They usually look like tiny pepper flakes. They are a sure sign of detonation. If you are a racer and have clean cylinders due to frequent tear downs you will still see pepper flakes. In that case they are parts of your piston! The shock wave is hammering your piston and very tiny bits of aluminum are being blown away. While you would think they would be shiny and white because they are aluminum, usually they are not. AlO2 is naturally a grey color and combined with carbon from the rings the stuff still looks like pepper flakes but maybe without the extreme black color. The key is to look for small specs of anything on the insulator. That is a clear sign of detonation. By specs I mean particles not to be confused with other junk that can be accumulated on the plugs as well. That is why it is critical to be able to make a correct plug reading. Of course, if you are at the track and can make repeated runs you can just keep increasing timing until it starts to nose over. I have greatly simplified everything but you get the point. The engine will have it's very own WOT number and you have to test to get it right.
Thanks for the Zeitonix link . . . interesting.
For some strange reason, Comp uses 0.015" valve lift when defining valve opening/closing events on some of its cam cards. To me, it would be better if they used durations at 0.050" as well as seat-to-seat (SAE J604d) durations. Crudely extrapolating the available durations, based on the very fast flanks of this cam (Extreme Energy), yields a rough estimate of the seat-to-seat overlap value of 77 degrees.
Yup. Got one of those with bungs in both collectors.
Works great as long as you have a powered triggering device to replace points/condenser. Otherwise there's no input to read engine RPM. Although RPM not necessary, it makes tuning easier by providing a readout on 2 axes. Of course, having a good running, STABLE laptop is essential with the Zeitronix. Not so with the Innovate unit.
What does "pepper" (black spots) on the insulator actually mean? Why does it indicate too much spark advance?
The reason big cams need so much initial at idle is because they are LEAN even though they can smell pig rich. Lean AFR is a very slow burn and therefore needs much more idle advance. Look at your cam card. You have a total of 69 deg overlap! (int = 37 and ex = 32.) That is a big cam that has built-in EGR! Because of overlap the exhaust gas is contaminating (i.e., LEANING) the intake and you get lean AFR as a result. Give the motor whatever it wants at idle. I suggest you weld a bung into the exhaust and buy an O2 data logger to help with tuning.
There is no magic number to give you for WOT. Every engine requires its own number and that is determined by experimentation. Look at all the suggestions so far. There are no two agreeing numbers and that is the way it should be. Every engine and environment is different. Look at all the variables like gas or E-85, winter gas, summer gas, cold morning, or hot, humid afternoon, raised compression but by how much? Look at all the suggestions and note the assorted numbers. Pick a conservative one and start testing and reading plugs. As soon as you see pepper on the insulator back off timing 2 degrees. Good luck and have fun.
The block's water jacket is 3/4 filled, to 1" below the decks, and runs an oil cooler. This takes a LOT of cooling load off of the radiator, which, as you know is marginal, even when brand new. There was VERY little extra cooling capacity built into them from the factory. Because of this, I'm able to run a 160 degree t-stat, AND ACTUALLY HAVE THE COOLANT STAY PEGGED AT 160............EVEN ON 100 DEGREE DAYS IN AUGUST!
I'll play around with the spark timing and, I agree with what you say about the big cam and cylinder pressure. When I was trying to dial it in with the iron heads 2 years ago, the thing was a dog until I took the initial up past 17-18 degrees. If I can hold initial at 20, or better, then I'll rework the advance slot in the distributor to limit WOT advance to what the combustion chambers like......which will (probably) be somewhere between 34 and 38 degrees, total.
With an idle vacuum of only 8 inches you wouldn't be getting much vacuum advance unless the advance can is adjustable or has been reworked with a different return spring pressure.
With 8 inches of idle vacuum, this is pulling a pretty good cam, big cams like a lot of initial advance because the effects of late closing the intake valves reduces cylinder pressure which causes a slower burn which needs more time, thus advance to get across the chamber. I don't think dialing back the base timing is the way to go, at least not if you don't put it into the centrifugal and perhaps bring it up faster.
Generally Vortec type chambers like about 34-36 degrees max. Aluminum often likes more advance and more compression to make up for the cylinders faster temperature loss because of aluminum's much faster heat transfer rate into the cooling system than iron. You can also stand to run the coolant temp 15-20 degrees to slow the heat transfer rate a little.
All this is tuning for the new conditions, it can take a while to sort out what works best.
If it were mine, I'd verify the inertia ring/damper hub integrity while I had the heads off....
Use a piston stop like the one pictured or make one....
Those advance numbers are with the old 461's, you understand. I am using 1.6:1 roller trunnion rockers on both int/exh with this cam. The idle vacuum is about 8 in-hg @ 1000 RPM. I idle it at about 1100-1200 and about 9 in-hg. I'm using an adjustable vac advance can with this setup, and, believe me, it's at the low limit of its adjustment. The VAC is controlled by manifold vacuum. It cruises with 20+17+14, for a total of 51 degrees and idles with 20+14.
I will take a few degrees static out of it and test from there.
I would try to keep 20 degrees at idle with a cam that big then plug the vacuum advance into the manifold source and add another 10-12. it will idle 30 to 32 with this setup.
That cam should have enough vacuum at 1000 rpm to use the vacuum advance at idle. (hopefully)
But first, figure out how much timing the engine likes at full power. (trial and error)
37 total with 17 mechanical is up there on the total IMO, set the initial at 16-17 and leave the mech alone, pull vac advance on manifold and it should be around 30 @ idle if you have the vacuum. This will be a conservative place to break the thing in with the new setup.
Then every bit of what you are giving it now may need to be put back in once you shake it down. Run the bag off it and get your total high RPM timing advance without vacuum advance at the optimal spot, maybe 36 maybe 38 maybe 34. Then if your using manifold vacuum advance at idle the initial is not as important as total but at least 18 initial I would figure and hope the idle manifold vacuum is high enough for vac advance to be included,,,maybe not though
What is/was the vacuum of this mill at idle using that cam? that is a big cam in my book. You say vac adv is adding 14 so something is happening.
Might be a good candidate for a adjustable vac advance if your manifold vac at idle and/or at light engine load is around 10 "hg. That way you can tweak the range/rate of the vacuum advance more effectively, test & tune will tell the tale.

Intel Raises the Curtain on Poulson
At the Hot Chips conference last week, Intel disclosed additional details about the upcoming Poulson Itanium CPU due for shipment early next year. For Itanium loyalists (essentially committed HP-UX customers) the disclosures are a ray of sunshine among the gloomy news that has been the lot of Itanium devotees recently.
Poulson will bring several significant improvements to Itanium in both performance and reliability. On the performance side, we have significant improvements on several fronts:

We have been repeatedly reminded that the requirements of hyper-scale cloud properties are different from those of the mainstream enterprise, but I am now beginning to suspect that the top strata of the traditional enterprise may be leaning in the same direction. This suspicion has been triggered by the combination of a recent day in NY visiting I&O groups in a handful of very large companies and a number of unrelated client interactions.
The pattern that I see developing is one of "haves" versus "have nots" in terms of their ability to execute on their technology vision with internal resources. The "haves" are the traditional large sophisticated corporations, with a high concentration in financial services. They have sophisticated IT groups, are capable fo writing extremely complex systems management and operations software, and typically own and manage 10,000 servers or more. The have nots are the ones with more modest skills and abilities, who may own 1000s of servers, but tend to be less advanced than the core FSI companies in terms of their ability to integrate and optimize their infrastructure.
The divergence in requirements comes from what they expect and want from their primary system vendors. The have nots are companies who understand their limitations and are looking for help form their vendors in the form of converged infrastructures, new virtualization management tools, and deeper integration of management software to automate operational tasks, These are people who buy HP c-Class, Cisco UCS, for example, and then add vendor-supplied and ISV management and automation tools on top of them in an attempt to control complexity and costs. They are willing to accept deeper vendor lock-in in exchange for the benefits of the advanced capabilities.

I recently had an opportunity to spend some time with SUSE management, including President and General Manager Nils Brauckmann, and came away with what I think is a reasonably clear picture of The Attachmate Group's (TAG) intentions and of SUSE's overall condition these days. Overall, impressions were positive, with some key takeaways:

Restoring a Native Population (our Oct. 2011 green-biz interview)
"Currently, the Great Plains are dominated by cattle and by industrial farming, which are not sustainable," says Mark Tilsen, co-founder of Native American Natural Foods. "These practices drastically reduce biodiversity, while grazing activity by buffalo actually encourages it. Industrial agriculture increases soil erosion, while the natural prairie grasses that buffalo prefer hold the soil in place."
To help restore the prairie and the buffalo, Mark Tilsen and Karlene Hunter started a green business that would grow the buffalo population to supply the raw materials for their protein-rich snack bars.
We asked Mark to tell us more about the relationship of the buffalo to the prairie, how his company benefits the Oglala Lakota, and the meaning of the name Tanka…

Les Mosses Park
Well known for its reputation as a family ski resort, the ski pistes of Les Mosses – La Lécherette provide the complete package with its snow garden « Les Mosses Park ». It's ethos of learning to ski while playing games is extremely popular with families.
Easy access and ideally located at the foot of the ski runs (300 metres from the village centre and car park), Les Mosses Park and its accomplice « Little Froggy » which appeals to all kids, is fully equipped for the job in hand. Its moving carpet, drag lift and short gentle slopes are the perfect introduction to the ski beginner. The numerous obstacles and figurines, the slaloms and games strategically placed throughout the park encourage the beginner to have as much fun as possible while learning.
The little ski lift « Pikatchu » bridges the gap for the apprentice skier before he or she launches themselves onto the big slopes. The Pikatchu piste with its mini boarder cross provides a heightened sense of sliding while still making a game of it.
Easy to access without skis, the area within and around the park is a veritable family paradise. A hillside perfect for kids for sliding and sledging after skiing, a bar for Dad, a « parking spot » for Mum complete with deckchairs, and all this right by the Drosera restaurant.

Hi there,
So I'm new to pepakura (and almost everything costume related), so putting this together has worked out well, but recently I ran into a few problems.
For the helmet I've been using, I find that the numbers don't line up as I progress along a longer piece. I'm wondering if I need to pull it a bit tighter and make sure they line up or if it's something else I did. Obviously this has distorted my helmet a bit, so I am going to remake it but I want to make sure it turns out better. Thanks.

The Canisius volleyball team ended the regular-season with a three-set loss at Fairfield University on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Griffins fell 26-24, 25-16 and 25-16, finishing the regular season with a 16-12 overall record and 13-5 record in conference play. The 13 league wins stand as the second-most in program history.
Canisius will be the No. 3 seed in next weekend's MAAC Championship at Fairfield University. The Golden Griffins will face No. 2 seed Siena in the second semifinal, with match time at Alumni Hall set for 4 p.m.
Samantha Good led the Golden
Griffins with 10 kills. Junior Roxanne
Hernandez and senior Logan Sulongga
each had seven kills with Hernandez hitting .417 and Sulongga hitting .316.
Junior Sydney Palka had 12 assists
while senior Allyson Severyn and
junior Emily Elek each had 12 digs.
"We aren't pleased by the outcome of this weekend's matches, but I am pleased with the way our team has stuck to being process-oriented this season," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. We are looking forward to the conference tournament next weekend, where the slate is wiped clean for all four teams and everyone has a 0-0 record."
The teams played a very tight first set, with neither team holding more than a two-point lead at any junction. The Griffs went up 15-14 after kills from freshman Rachel Kline and Hernandez along with a Fairfield error. Fairfield would eventually go up 23-21, but the Griffs won the next three points, getting three straight Fairfield errors to earn a set point. A kill by Hayley Moyer allowed the Stags to fight off the set point. Fairfield then used back-to-back kills from Brianna Dixion to win the set.
Canisius trailed 12-10 in the second set when Fairfield won three straight points and extended that stretch to a 7-2 run to take control at 19-12. Canisius could never get closer than five points the rest of the set. In the third set, the Stags once again broke it open midway through, scoring five straight points to extend a 12-10 lead into a 17-10 advantage. The Griffs cut the deficit to 20-15 after a solo block from Good, but Fairfield scored five of the last six points to close out the match.
Dixion led Fairfield (20-8, 15-3 MAAC) with 18 kills and a .429 attack percentage as the Stags won their eighth straight match. Kara Reis had a match-high 23 digs while Rachel Romansky had 39 assists as Fairfield hit .301 on the day.
Notes: Fairfield and Canisius split the season series for the first time since the 2009 season... The program record for conference wins is 14, which came during the 2006 season... Good had double-digit kills for the fifth straight match. The senior hit .369 in conference play, the highest percentage by a Golden Griffin since Mary Boller hit .372 in 2006... Sulongga hit .300 or better for the third time in the last four matches... Elek had double-digit digs for the second straight match and 10th time this season... Severyn finished the regular season with double-digit digs in all 28 matches and now has 10 or more digs in 40 straight matches and 110 matches in her career.

Arsenal legend Charlie George took a trip down memory lane recently when he visited the site of his former childhood home in Islington.
McCall and Hollins House, which is located close to the Odeon cinema on Holloway Road, has overseen widespread transformation since Charlie grew up on the site in the 1960s, and is now home to a fully refurbished astroturfed pitch, made possible thanks to funding from The Arsenal Foundation and a number of other partners, including Islington Council Housing and the Home Office.
The recently opened facility plays host to Arsenal in the Community sessions several nights a week, providing local young people with a safe place to play football. One of these programmes is Positive Futures, a national community-based inclusion programme that gives young people the chance to develop the skills needed to get on a positive career path and take on roles as active and responsible citizens.
During his visit, Charlie met some of the young people currently taking part in the Positive Futures programme, which has been managed by Arsenal in the Community since 2004 and now boasts the Highest Gold Star rating from the Home Office.
As well as football activities, regular attendees to the site are taken on organised outings and residential trips, while employment opportunities are provided for those wishing to make the step from participant to volunteer and then employment.
The McCall and Hollis House facility is the latest in a long line of recently upgraded facilities on local Islington estates that have benefited from funding from The Arsenal Foundation, including Girdlestone, King Square, Harvist and Aubert Court.
Launched earlier this year to celebrate Arsenal's 125th anniversary, The Arsenal Foundation was launched to help the Club engage more young people than ever before and continually move forward in growing its community work. A fundraising and grant-making organisation, The Arsenal Foundation will help to grow the reach and effect of the programmes that the Club supports to help an increasing number of young people across the globe fulfil their potential and help their communities thrive.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: I am a solo provider. I am available Monday to Friday to provide care for my patients at the Ballard Swedish campus. I see my patients for all clinic visits and because I live close to hospital I am readily available for hospitalizations although I do share night call with the hospital OBGYN practice so there is always emergency coverage. My office staff is easily reached and the phones are always answered by a person during office hours. I spent 12 years working at Harborview Medical Center as UW faculty after my training. In 2007 I switched to private practice and I can now walk to work, go home at lunch to walk our corgi dogs, and best of all, deliver the babies of my neighbors. It is a privilege to practice medicine, I enjoy my small practice, and I plan to continue for many more years.

text: For a new shooter, I wouldn't personally recommend a .45, and especially one that is polymer-framed. There's no shame in starting with a 9mm, and I think it's very wise. The odds are that you will advance quicker with a smaller caliber. The 9mm is a fine caliber, and good for self-defense when loaded with hollow-points. Just my .02

Green Bay Hosts Detroit in Weekend Home Opener, Home Finale
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, WIS. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After playing 37 games away from home this season, the Green Bay softball team (12-25, 5-12 HL) will finally compete in front of its home crowd in the final series of the 2013 regular season. With a playoff berth on the line, the Phoenix will host Detroit (5-42, 2-16 HL) in a doubleheader at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday before closing the series at noon on Sunday.
Currently in seventh place in the Horizon League standings, the Phoenix needs to sweep the eighth-place Titans and also needs Youngstown State to get swept by Valparaiso in order to qualify for the 2013 Horizon League Tournament. With a Youngstown State win or cancelled game or a Green Bay loss, the Penguins will eliminate the Phoenix from postseason contention.
Green Bay will play in honor of those who have faught or are still fighting breast cancer in Saturday's doubleheader. Prior to the first game, the family of senior Jess Hrncar (Bristol, Wis.) will throw out the first pitch and share remarks with the players, staff and fans of the team. Green Bay has played this season in memory of Hrncar's mother, Tami, who passed away from breast cancer last October.
Following game one of Saturday's doubleheader, the Phoenix will hold a brief Parent's Day ceremony and recognize each player and their parents.
Prior to the start of Sunday's series and season finale against the Titans, Green Bay will honor its highly decorated, six-member senior class.
This weekend's series was originally the third of three home series on the 2013 schedule. However, poor field conditions and both snow and rain forced the previous two series to be changed from home to road contests. Saturday's forecast calls for a 30 percent chance of morning showers with a high of 67 degrees while Sunday is predicted to have a high of 67 with only a 10 percent chance of rain. Be sure to follow @GBPhoenixSB and @GBPhoenix on Twitter in case of any schedule changes.
With a sweep of Detroit and a Valparaiso sweep of Youngstown State, Green Bay will compete in the 2013 Horizon League Tournament as the No. 6 seed next week. With a loss or a Youngstown State win, Green Bay's season will come to a close on Sunday.

That looks pretty cool! I'm down for Dick's Last Resort.:cheers
Party's all over the place the WETA/Lucasfilm party last year was a good time. Check around I think SONY is having a street party.
C'mon guys, we need at least 20 people to secure some tables for a TDH dinner party. so far, Dick's last resort seems to be a winner unless some more votes for another place surface soon. I will call Dick's on Wednesday 16th to book our spot. here's who we have so far..........
1. Cruzer
2. Jango 5204
3. Seeker
4. Bountyone
5. jimmy bufFETT
6. Rogue Studios
7. Silver Fett & Bro
8. Vable Boba

10.Mirax H & Art

a few of you showed interest but have not yet committed. I'm going to see if we can get a "guest of honor" to join us also. times running out guys, get on the list!!!
You can put on me down for two, on the dinner list. My son and I will be at Comic Con and at TDH table Sat. morning.
Dick's sound fine, Rockin Baja will work too.
To everyone else, what an opportunity to meet our fellow members in person, see you all there.
cool thanks, keep em coming!!!
You can put me down..:thumbsup
Thanks Alex.
list updated at the top of page.
Well if any of you will be going to the wedding ceremony its at 2pm on the 25th and 4pm at Joe's crab shack. We're doing pictures both wedding,mando mercs and just any old group pictures. So most if not all will be in our Besker'gam. More details in the wedding thread on TDH and Mercs sites. As soon as I post them.
You can also include my son, my sis, littlebekahc, and two additional guests to the list. So a total of 5 people including me. Thanks:thumbsup
Will do, thanks mate!!
Would crab shack be a better choice if the majority of people are already going to be there because of the wedding event?
Last time I tried to go to Dicks, they wouldn't allow me to enter since I was under 21.
I'm all for Joe's Crab Shack.
I just called Joe's Crab Shack and they are booked solid that evening.
Dick's Last resort won't be taking reservations during Comic Con week. they told me "walk in and hope for the best" they have a huge place and shouldn't be a problem.
Just called a few other places and that seems to be norm for SDCC. nobody will do reservations during CC, walk-in only.
sooooooooo I guess we all agree on a place and just meet there?
That's what we did last year. We just set a date and time, and met up at Joe's.
Count me in for this one.
A place for all ages is a must for me, since I will have my son with me from the Con.
Joe's Crab Shack also works for me.
Will Dicks allow underaged dinner patrons at our time slot?
If it's a restaurant, age shouldn't be an issue. Bars, obviously they don't.

Basically, I want the ability to sit back on a mountain, tree, cliff, house, etc. while my team rushes in and be able to snipe out enemies from afar. I realize that literally every FPS has snipers but most of the gameplay that surrounds "sniping" is running and gunning instead of actually getting marksman shots from miles away and having the satisfaction of popping someone in the kisser when they're least expecting it.
I would highly prefer if the game had very little p2w influence in it.

By Chris Harris
Thierry Henry's comeback went so well that the Arsenal legend thought he might be dreaming.
The 34-year-old emerged from the bench for his second Gunners 'debut' on Monday night and needed just 11 minutes to add to his record tally of 226 goals for the Club.
Henry's trademark finish from Alex Song's pass saw off Leeds United in the FA Cup and the Frenchman took plenty of time to ponder his latest magic moment - and those who made it possible - in the hours after the game.
"I hope someone isn't going to wake me up and tell me it was a dream," he told Arsenal Player.
"That's what I was thinking about – that's why it took me a long time to come out of the dressing room. I don't know if it is because I am old and I am trying to enjoy every moment that I can.
"But tomorrow we have a day off and I am going to train hard. That's what made me the player I was and that I am – it's all down to hard work. Like I say, [fitness coach] Tony Colbert doesn't always get credit but I did work really hard with him to try and come back to a 20-minutes type of fitness.
"Those are the type of guys that are working really hard with some of the players. Trust me, their job is not always easy because they get the injured players and the players who don't play. Quite often, it is not an easy one but Tony Colbert has done a great job with me."
When all is said and done, Arsenal advanced to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup on Monday night. And Henry had praise for Leeds after they pushed Arsène Wenger's side all the way.
"I have been involved in so many cup ties and don't take it away from Leeds – they were defending really well," he said.
"They drew here last year 1-1 – Cesc scored a last minute penalty. The year before that, they won at Old Trafford. They are not an easy team to play. They defended well. If their striker [Becchio] scored that volley that he blasted over, then it would have been a different game.
"I know the fans want us to beat them by more but when you play a team who clearly wanted to bring the game back to Elland Road, you have to keep your composure and make sure you pass the ball around. We did. It wasn't the best performance ever but in the cup, you have to do the job and that is what we have done."

UPS 767 Fleet to Get New Look
Press Release
UPS Debuts New Winglets to 767 Aircraft to Save Fuel and Reduce Emissions
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 21, 2013 - UPS (NYSE: UPS) has unveiled a new look for its flagship Boeing 767 fleet by adding winglets as a part of its sustainability efforts to save fuel and reduce emissions.
These wingtip devices, which are arrow-shaped surfaces attached to the tip of each wing, enhance the overall efficiency of the aircraft, saving fuel by reducing drag while also lowering noise emissions by improving take-off performance. The modifications will save UPS more than six million gallons of fuel each year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 62,000 metric tonnes. UPS estimates approximately a four percent fuel savings on each 767 flight.
"UPS continues to lead the industry in sustainable business practices," said David Abney, UPS chief operating officer. "With the widest portfolio of services in the industry, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce emissions, and drive down operating costs so our customers have the solutions they need to compete in a global economy. These winglets are a perfect example of sustainability in action. They are good business and good stewardship."
UPS currently operates 54 of the 767 aircraft with five on order. The company plans to have winglets on all 767 aircraft by the end of 2014. Winglets are already installed on UPS's 747, and MD-11 fleets, and the A300-600 has a similar device called a wingtip fence.
The modifications will add approximately five and a half feet of span to each wing, and each winglet is 11 feet tall. Aircraft weight will increase by nearly 3,000 pounds due to the weight of the winglets and the extensive structural reinforcement of the wing structure. Even at this size and weight, the winglets will still reduce the amount of fuel used per flight.
Winglets improve the aerodynamics of the wing by extending the length of the wing and reducing the amount of drag, which is the force that opposes an aircraft's motion in the air.
The winglet project is a sustainability initiative implemented by UPS Airlines. The company already operates one of the cargo sector's youngest and most fuel-efficient air fleet, and is working to reduce its carbon intensity an additional 20 percent by 2020 from a 2005 baseline. Other highlights of the airline's fuel conservation efforts include computer-optimized flight routes, aircraft taxi time management, and alternate-fuel ground support equipment.
"We believe there is always some way you can improve, and we're applying that spirit to our environmental efforts," said UPS Airlines President Mitch Nichols . "This is a great example of how we can use existing technology to save money, lessen our impact on the environment and serve our customers more efficiently."

text: I know its still early days, but I there has simply not been enough basketball discussion in my life lately and it is making me sad. I have started a poll, it is publicly viewable. Please vote whether or not you believe this is possible and state reasons below. Please don't just vote, or just say yes or no. I would love to hear the reasons, the percieved weaknesses and strengths, obstacles, focal points, opportunities - the whole piece! I am really hoping for a heated (but not nasty) discussion about the Pistons short term future. I am sure that we can all agree that long term, that we are a project, that we have good prospects. I am hoping to really draw on the collective knowledge of the forum and shape our ideas about the team which sometimes we all hate to love. Hopefully we will have a reference point for us during the season to look back on and see how our ideas about L.Frank and the players have evolved or even come true. I would ask just a couple of things. 1 - Please try to keep it on topic. Talking about the relative strength of other teams is absolutely on topic, the price of bacon is not. 2 - Lets keep it nice and civil - I have no doubts this will happen however 3 - Come in to the discussion with a open mind. I have learnt so much from members of this forum, I would hope that some of my knowledge has been imparted as well. I have a grand view for this thread, it may be a bit ambitious, but I hope not

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo to go along with my mythosaur tattoo, and making this one a personalized one for my daughters. The idea is letting both my girls pick the colors of a cartoon style mando helmet that I would then get tattoo'd on my arm, one for each of my daughters. Both of them are star wars fans, and my younges (5 years) has one of the wal-mart toy Boba helmets and toy EE-3, which she puts on and runs around the house being "Boba Caty," and I think they'd both get a kick out of being able to pick colors for a helmet to go on me.
The downside is I'm a terrible artist, and I havent found any cartoon style helmet images out there on the web to give to the tattoo guys for inspiration. I'm looking for something thats more cartoonish, less "real" with rounded and softer edges, I guess to make them more little girl style. Anyone have the talent and interest to doodle something, or does someone know of some images out there like that?
Thanks for your time.

UPS Strengthens Sustainability Commitment in Asia Pacific
Press Release
UPS Carbon Neutral Now Supports Sustainability Projects in China and Thailand
SINGAPORE, Mar 3, 2011 - Following the launch of UPS carbon neutral in Asia Pacific in 2010, UPS (NYSE:UPS) further strengthened its commitment to sustainability through its support in two major environmental ventures in the region.
The UPS carbon neutral shipping programme enables customers to mitigate the climate impact of their shipping by paying a small fee to calculate and offset the carbon emissions associated with their shipments.
"At UPS, sustainability is our way of doing business. We believe that community and sustainability involvement needs to be as local as possible and we have now expanded to include two carbon offset projects in the region. As Asia Pacific continues to develop, businesses are becoming more environmentally conscious and we believe that more customers will be encouraged to adopt UPS carbon neutral as we join in the efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said Derek Woodward, president of the UPS Asia Pacific region.
Here are the details of UPS's two carbon offset projects in Asia Pacific. The projects are overseen by The CarbonNeutral Company and are Gold Standard and Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) certified offsets:
The Fujian Landfill Gas is a project located in Southern China that captures the green house gas methane at a landfill site and uses it to generate clean electricity.
The Cholburi Wastewater Biogas-to-Energy project uses biogas from wastewater to generate heat and power at a tapioca starch drying factory in Cholburi, Thailand.
Just as in 2010, UPS will continue to match the number of offsets purchased through 2011 up to a total of US$1 million.
In the expansion of UPS carbon neutral, UPS customers can now elect to contribute to sustainability using UPS carbon neutral as an option within the UPS WorldShip
shipping system which is used by over 400,000 shippers worldwide.
Customers who elect for UPS carbon neutral will pay a small fee to offset the carbon emissions associated with their shipments. The calculation to measure the carbon (CO2) impact of the customer's shipments is based on current and historical operational data, including distance and transport mode and comprehensive carbon inventory.
When a customer elects to neutralize their shipments, UPS will calculate the carbon impact and then purchase high-quality certified carbon offsets.
UPS's proprietary calculation methodology and processes are verified by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS). In addition, the carbon offset process also is certified by The CarbonNeutral Company. The calculator is based on Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the most widely used international standard for carbon accounting and reporting.
UPS carbon neutral complements the company's sustainable business practices worldwide. These include operational efficiency, conservation initiatives and industry-leading innovations. UPS recently was named by Climate Counts as the leader in the consumer shipping category for the second consecutive year. To learn more about UPS's total environmental program, go to

John Harrigan: Volunteer rescuers, inside and out, and a pass on the Northern Pass
JOHN HARRIGAN | September 28. 2013 1:47AM
Hearings on the Northern Pass proposal drew jam-packed crowds in Concord, Plymouth, Whitefield and Colebrook.
Evidently people all over the state, especially down bellow the notches, are waking up to the dire implications of this project, and the fact that New Hampshire does not need the power (we export around 75 percent as much electricity as we use), we don't want the power line, and we won't get the power, which will mainly benefit the Hartford-New York City markets. We are nothing but a doormat.
How to bury the power line? The utilities pushing Northern Pass have claimed all along that it would be too expensive to bury it, even as similar major projects in Maine and New York are doing just that.
None of the speakers said anything about Northern Pass claims of its hydro energy being "clean and green," so I'll say it (again) here.
Let's see, basic high school biology 101. Trees sequester carbon and give off oxygen. Hydro-Quebec has flooded hundreds of thousands of acres in the far north, drowning billions of standing trees and other vegetation, which are now decomposing and emitting carbon, not to mention mercury.

A recent Union Leader editorial rightly commended trained rescuers and citizen volunteers who are always at the ready to spring forth when an incredibly taxing mountain rescue is needed, often under the most severe conditions. The editorial mentioned several stellar examples of this professional-citizen symbiotic relationship, to me the epitome of the New Hampshire way.
People seated nearby immediately rushed to her aid, while emergency and medical personnel, many of whom were in the crowd, helped stabilize her for transport to Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital.
The crowd, the speakers and the U.S. Department of Energy officials at the head table gave the woman a standing ovation - meant equally for those who rushed to help - as EMT personnel wheeled her out to the ambulance.
