Rendering mathematical surfaces and objects in tactile form requires both time and creativity
sarah-marie belcastro
As mentioned earlier, a Klein bottle is an abstract, infinitely thin mathematical surface, formed in such a way that its inside is contiguous with its outside. That is, if it were thickened enough have an inner skin separate from its outer skin, you could run a finger along the surface from any point on the outside to the corresponding point on the inside. Figure 5 shows a line drawing of a Klein bottle in three dimensions, along with a true 2D representation as a marked rectangle; we bend and stretch the rectangle through additional dimensions to match up the arrows and glue them together. As the 3D representation shows, the surface appears to pass through itself. At this place there must be a self-intersection or a hole.
In the terms of the 2D representation, my first Klein bottle was made with the knitting needles parallel to the single arrows in the rectangle, and the rounds of knitting formed in the direction of the double arrows (see Figure 5). It had a lot of flaws, but at the time, I only noticed one of them: It was immobile, stuck in one configuration in 3-space, because I had made it with a self-intersection. To address this problem, I promptly made a crappy Klein bottle with a hole (see Figure 6).
The shortcomings of my early Klein bottles fell into two categories: aesthetic and mathematical. Aesthetics first: These things were ugly! One reason is that I used terrible materials. I have always preferred to use circular knitting needles, which are composed of two pointed tips connected by a thin, flexible cable. Back in graduate school, I often used hacked-together needles, shortening the cables of needles from the 1960s by melting the plastic (which promptly fell apart) or constructing my own circular needles from wire and packing tape (which caught on the yarn incessantly). These efforts to make needles that were both short enough and flexible enough for the projects resulted in a frustrating knitting experience and less than lovely results. Later I was able to get bamboo needles with hollow cables, which can be successfully modified. And I have learned how to use standard knitting paraphernalia to achieve the results I desire.
It wasn't just the needles, though—the yarn was a problem, too. That first Klein bottle was made from respectable but low-grade acrylic yarn. The second was made from a yarn of unknown provenance, which I found at a garage sale. It was awful to work with and had a sickening plastic-plus-fiberglass feel. These days, I tend to use high-quality rather than random yarns, and I choose the color, type of dyeing and texture of the yarn with the intended mathematics in mind. Finally, in designing the objects, I improvised without much thought for details, so the first Klein bottle is misshapen and the second has a weird vertical line on it (hidden in the figure).
Now for the mathematical issues. The approach I used in both cases was to knit something like a cylinder, pass one end of the cylinder through its side, and then graft the two ends of the cylinder together. One can build in a side slit (as I did with the second Klein bottle), or create a self-intersection by passing live stitches through the side of the cylinder (as I did with the first Klein bottle). Either way, using this method, one basically creates the Klein bottle from an identified rectangle, with the rows parallel to one pair of sides of the rectangle (single arrows in Figure 5) and the columns of stitches parallel to the other pair of sides of the rectangle (double arrows in Figure 5). It is very easy to graft the ends of the cylinder incorrectly. Unless the knitter introduces a half-twist before grafting, the four corners of the rectangle will not meet. Without the twist, the result is still a Klein bottle, but the coordinates suggested by the rows and columns of stitches do not match the coordinates of the underlying rectangle, and the geometry of the finished object is not as desired. A knitted cylinder, however, resists twisting—thus the difficulty in this step.
I eventually saw a solution to this problem: Create the twist intrinsically rather than adding it at the end. I accomplished this by starting with Miles Reid's Möbius band construction. This method effectively places the needles parallel to the double arrows shown in Figure 5, and knitting proceeds up both of the single arrows at once, each row wrapping twice across the rectangle. Because the twist is already present in the knitted fabric, the desired joining of the underlying rectangle happens automatically, with coordinates that match the rows and columns of stitches. Skeletal instructions for knitting a Klein bottle in this fashion are available at my mathematical knitting website, and a photograph of one is shown in Figure 7.
That solution was the product of years of thought. Once I realized how flawed my first Klein bottles were, I wanted to do better, to create a design that was more faithful to the mathematics. Thus the question arose: What does it mean for a knitted object to be mathematically faithful?

text: Yes, we did. You know, they have two new(er) holiday albums out, by the current line-up. If you go to the music page of their on-line store and scroll down, you'll find them. Hard to believe next year is the 55th anniversary of the group's founding and, unlike a lot of "retro" groups, the KT is completely under the control and oversight of the only surviving original member. He owns the rights to just about everything Trio-related except the music they put out on Capitol and Decca back in the '50's and 60's.

Vito Mannone is fully focused on fighting for his place in the Arsenal side after a successful loan spell at Hull City.
The Italian goalkeeper spent the second half of last season at the KC Stadium and excelled either side of a two-month lay-off through injury.
Since returning to Arsenal, Mannone has played a full part in pre-season and is ready to challenge Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski for the No 1 spot.
"It's going well," he told Arsenal.com. "I'm focused here. I'm having a good pre-season with Arsenal and I'm trying to fight hard for the place.
"I've enjoyed pre-season - there is a bit more focus on the training and the fans have been incredible, especially when we went to Asia."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Have questions? You've come to the right place for the answers…let's get started!
It is completely natural to feel a bit apprehensive about taking this important step. Most students do. Keep in mind that the overseas experience is much more than a vacation. It is a profound learning experience that will engender feelings of exhilaration, apprehension, frustration, satisfaction, self-doubt and accomplishment, often all at the same time.
In the following section, the Spiegel Center for Global and International Programs will address some of the most important and most frequently asked questions relating to Roger William University's wide array of study abroad opportunities.
Your first step…come by to see us! While you will find that many of your questions can be answered by navigating this website, it is important that you come by The Spiegel Center for Global and International Programs to meet with the staff of the Study Abroad Office. The staff is here to address any questions and concerns that you might have. The Spiegel Center's office hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and we are located on the first floor in Global Heritage Hall. Come by to meet with us, or if you prefer to meet one-on-one, office hour sign-ups are available. You can email firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.
Roger Williams University faculty can also serve as a great resource. They can provide a great deal of insight into the courses that you may be interested in taking abroad as well as the overall experience. Students that have already been abroad are another great resource. If you know someone who recently returned from a semester abroad, talk to them to hear about their first-hand experiences. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
As you plan for a semester or academic year abroad, you must also meet with your academic advisor. Working with your academic advisor to discuss your time abroad will ensure that studying abroad will work with your academic schedule.
In most cases, RWU students can go abroad as early as their sophomore year.
Each program, both RWU sponsored and RWU affiliated, will have a minimum GPA requirement. Students must have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA to study abroad, while most programs do have a higher GPA requirement. Please contact the Spiegel Center for detailed information on minimum requirements.
Other requirements include the following:
Please visit our online application system, where you will find RWU application materials as well as links to online application materials for all affiliated programs.
Applications require a $50 non-refundable application fee, which can be dropped off in the Spiegel Center for Global and International Programs office. Once students are accepted into a program, they must submit a $600 deposit within 30 days of their acceptance. This $600 deposit will hold your spot in the program and will be applied to your semester charges.
For RWU-affiliated programs, the application process is also straightforward but will vary from institution to institution. Rest assured that the Spiegel Center for Global and International Programs staff will assist you in completing all necessary paperwork.
For most of the RWU study abroad programs, both our own flagship programs and the affiliated programs, students will pay normal semester tuition in addition to a comprehensive fee (which includes room, board, health insurance and other fees).
*There are some program exceptions where students will be billed directly by the affiliate and pay the affiliate directly based on their cost structure. Please consult the Spiegel Center for details.*
Students are advised to consult with the Spiegel Center to obtain the most up-to-date program costs.
In addition, students are responsible for the cost of airfare, books, lab materials and site-visit fees. Health insurance and activities fees are included in the comprehensive fee. An overload charge will be incurred for 18 or more credit hours.
Students need to budget independently for optional and extracurricular activities, including personal travel and spending money. Also, knowledge of the current exchange rates in relation to the local currency of where you will be studying will help you budget effectively.
Please consult with the Financial Aid office to determine how your particular aid will be affected by a semester abroad.
Tuition remission and tuition exchange does not apply to most study abroad programs. Please consult with the Spiegel Center for further information.
For more detailed information on the many programs offered and the process required to apply, you can visit the new online application system:
We invite you to learn about the program opportunities available to you. We also strongly encourage you to come by the Spiegel Center for Global and International Programs to meet with Kevin Hayden, Director of Study Abroad Programs. You can also email him at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.

Benik Afobe says that many of Arsenal's new boys can make a seamless transition into Arsène Wenger's first team this season.
The 18-year-old has had to shake a few more hands and make some new friends this summer - especially in the past week – as a long list of signings have reinforced the Arsenal squad.
Mikel Arteta, Yossi Benayoun, Per Mertesacker, Andre Santos and Chu Young Park followed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Carl Jenkinson, Gervinho and Joel Campbell to Emirates Stadium in the final days of the transfer window and Afobe believes that Wenger's transfer strategy will pay dividends.
"I think the boss has done a very good job with these signings – maybe even better than people expected," he told Arsenal.com.
"It's good that the boss has bought some more experienced players. We know what they can do and the way they play is very good. I've been watching Arteta and Benayoun for five years, and it's good that they have come from other English clubs because you know that they are proven in the Premier League.
"We know they are going to fit in well - they are Arsenal kind of players and they are going to be great additions to the squad."
The summer transfer window also saw Wenger continue with his philosophy of developing the Club's future stars, and Afobe says the new boys have bedded in well.
"I know [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain because I've been playing against him since I was about nine years old so me and him have been good friends for quite a while. I've played against [Carl] Jenkinson quite a few times too, and Ryo has settled down well," he said.
"They are all nice lads and I'm sure they will give their best for the Club and help us do well for the future.
"Gervinho is always there to give me advice and I have spoken to him a few times. Especially in Germany when I was out there with them and he spoke to me about what I can do in and around the box. He's a very nice guy and he has settled down well. "
Afobe also paid tribute to the Arsenal supporters who showed their support at the recent defeat at Old Trafford, and insists the team will be doing everything they can to beat Swansea on Saturday.
"It would be nice to get the first win under our belt, and it would be a great way to do it in front of our fans at home," said Afobe.
"Arsenal's fans are fantastic. They showed us their support at Old Trafford even when things weren't going well for us and I know that they are going to be right behind us.
"Now the boss has signed five new players in the last week or so the fans are going to be happy about that and I know the players can't wait to get going and show Arsenal fans what they can do."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Thursday 14th July 2011
For me one of the greatest things about being fortunate enough to follow the team on their travels is all the different cultures we get to experience en route.
None however have been quite so interesting, surprising, inspiring and often amusing as those already experienced on this particular pre-season adventure.
Kuala Lumpur is a fascinating city. Another mixture of old and new, prosperous and not so, diverse religions and cultures, quite incredible architecture, buzzing day and nightlife and of course many aspects that can astound and amuse those Gooners like me who have never visited this part of the world.
Austria was often hot, some years blisteringly so. Out here however, the sometimes overwhelming humidity makes it a whole different kind of heat.
That fact alone makes the quite incredible enthusiasm of the many thousands of Gooners in this part of the world all the more admirable! I'm not the fittest bloke in the world but even hanging my flag up in the impressive Bukit Jalil Stadium was tiring in this heat!!
Training was met with phenomenal scenes of excitement and joy so it came as no surprise that last night's first match of the tour was met with similar fanaticism.
I loved every minute of our ten-year Austrian tenure and made some good friends along the way so to compare the two would be wrong.
This tour is different in almost every way (apart from enjoying the locals' hospitality until the early hours of course!)
The vast majority of our pre-season adventures have also started with a victory and last night meant we continued this trend.
It gave us our first opportunity to see new faces in the team of course but it was the 'old school' who grabbed the scoring headlines in a game that had enough to send both the local Malaysian, their fellow Asians from places like Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia and of course us few travelling Gooners from the UK home happy with the 4-0 victory.
After some more sightseeing tomorrow, next we take a flight to China and yet more new experiences I'm sure.
I have been challenged to find the strangest thing to eat from a friend back in Blighty! Surely the Fish Head Soup and Frog Legs Porridge is enough from the two cities visited so far!

I can certainly believe it, they look complicated to do.
Again,,,,Very nice indeed.
lots of folks are asking me on other site about your contact info and price for the recievers you have
my question is are they 80% or ffl items
I just got mine in, They are "%" receivers. The need to be fitted and welded. I can say they are WELL WORTH the money spent. These are NOT garage formed and would make original factory type repairs.
Sprat as Pyrotex said they are just repair section to replace the original sheetmetal the cost is $450 shipped. I will send you a PM with the contact info as I'm not a vendor here.
I'm thinking of picking up a kit and a repair section, is there a source for 7.5 swiss barrels or is this a 7.62 only kind of deal if you don't have an original barrel from an old kit?
the only source I know about was DSA, they are sold out now, also according to the swiss rifle site only 7.5 bolts work woth 7.5 barrel but they don't build if you build anything is possible
thank arty
Is there going to be a tutorial on the build or are we on our own?
Im finishing up mine, I used a .308 barrel but did the bolt work, I Fabbed up my own mag but hey, Thats 3 parts counts right there. I'll finish it up after my move.
I agree where are the posts and tutorials or links to them, lots of guys are looking for your repair section and there is someone selling whole recievers I just don't know who but i have seem them

I've done all my cutting and filing and sanding, and, I'm just about ready to paint.
But, I can't decide on what to do with the ear pieces. Did you attach them to your helmet before painting, or after painting?
Just curious. I'd like to do it after, but I'm worried that when I clamp it down it'll alter the shape and maybe crack the helmet (well, I'm positive it will slightly alter the shape--obviously to the correct shape, but, that won't be the shape it was painted in)
Now that I've confused everyone, I'll go now!

'The most promising aspect of the Sabres' play is their work ethic. Too many times over the past few seasons, including the President's Trophy-winning 2007 team, the Sabres have not played at 100 percent. They had mental lapses and would not fly into the corners for loose pucks, work hard in front of the net, and tie up men in front of goaltender Ryan Miller. The Sabres have been doing all this for most of this young season, and it is the primary reason for their 6-1-1 record going into Wednesday night's game against New Jersey.'

I recently toured the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, while vacationing with my retired, itinerant, sainted parents. The most striking thing at NASA's legendary facility is a Saturn V rocket. It lies within a giant hangar, beneath incredibly bright lights. It is humongous and breathtaking.
In large red letters, the words UNITED STATES appear proudly along the vehicle's length. It brought tears to my eyes. I thought: This is what America did, back when America did things.
Today, America has that no-can-do spirit.
The U.S. now wheezes beneath the crushing weight of lawsuits, environmental impact reports, diversity consultants, a $17 trillion national debt, entitlement proliferation, lethargic economic growth, the lowest labor-participation rate since 1979, relentless Twitter distractions and the mind-dissolving effects of Kardashianization.
When another Saturn V sent Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the moon in July 1969, America was a serious country. Forty-four summers hence, not so much.
U.S. astronauts headed for the International Space Station now must hitchhike there on Russia's rockets. Fare: $70.6 million per seat.
Beyond America's downshift in space, innovation seems stuck in a lower gear. When did a new invention make you slap your head in astonishment, as was routine for decades? Smartphones do grow smarter. Aside from that. ...
Yes, the Saturn V was a product of big government — but not as big then as today. When Armstrong took "one small step for man," Washington, D.C., spent 19.3 percent of gross domestic product. By 2011, its share was 24.5 percent.
Besides, big government used the Saturn V to accomplish "one giant leap for mankind," as Armstrong declared. Here on Earth, that mission catapulted America well ahead of the Marxist Soviet Union.
Compare that to big government today: $787 billion squandered on a stimulus that stimulated nothing; green jobs that, at best, cost $575,000 each, and an entitlement state that expands as poverty grows. On a smaller but also irritating scale, conference-going IRS employees have occupied $3,500-per-night hotel rooms. The tax agency also spent $17,000 so "motivational artist" Erik Wahl could paint pictures of Michael Jordan and Bono.
Meanwhile, America devolves from constitutional republic to banana republic. Federal abuse of power, spying on journalists, politically discriminatory tax agents and official impunity thrive beneath a tropical canopy of incompetence and economic stagnation. America is becoming Venezuela with atomic weapons.
Thanks to the high stakes of the Cold War, the clench-jawed relentlessness of the Greatest Generation, or perhaps some other factor(s), America once exuded gravity. That largely has floated away.
As common sense evaporates, for instance, Petrona Smith told her Bronx Spanish students that "black" in that language is "negro." Some took offense, and she got fired. Now, she is suing for damages.
Tracey Hannema, a Manhattan dyslexic, is suing for 50 percent more time so she can take a medical-school admissions test in a quiet, distraction-free environment where she says she could boost her score. Will she also demand such tranquility in a hospital emergency room?
Instead of an Apollo-style celebration of achievement and individual excellence, standards slide. NBC News recently profiled Oregon's South Medford High School and its 21 valedictorians. At Alabama's Enterprise High, 34 students are "first in their class."
It's important not to over-romanticize this picture. The best and the brightest who built the Saturn V also authored the food stamp program that burgeons today. Medicaid barely wobbles along, 48 years after its creation. And Washington shipped some 2.6 million GIs to Vietnam. Some 58,000 returned in body bags.
Still, there is something truly inspiring even now about the words with which President John F. Kennedy launched the Apollo program in September 1962: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
Imagine a president of the United States challenging the American people this way. These days, in a nation perpetually on break, it would seem almost rude.
Houston, we have a problem.

Former Gael Monteagudo Joins Men's Soccer Staff
Iona College men's soccer head coach Fernando Barboto announced the appointment of Marcos Monteagudo as an assistant coach for the 2012 season. Monteagudo is a 2006 graduate of Iona, a four-year men's soccer letterwinner and team captain during his senior season.
"Marcos brings unequalled passion to this program along with care for his alma mater," said Barboto. "He has an amazing eye for talent; we are lucky to have such a coach!"
Monteagudo joins the Iona College staff after serving as head coach of the boy's soccer team at nearby Iona Prep. He led the Gaels to three consecutive division championships from 2009-11, in addition to a city championship in 2010 and a state championship in 2009. Monteagudo was named the New York Daily News Coach of the Year in 2010 and is also involved with FC Westchester, which fields U16 and U18 U.S. Soccer Development Academy teams.
The Gaels return all but two starters from a team that completed the 2011 campaign with a record of 15-4-1, and finished second in the MAAC with a 7-2 record in the conference.

The Canisius College hockey team couldn't maintain its momentum from two early goals in the first three minutes and Sacred Heart fought back for a 3-2 victory on Sunday, handing the Griffs their first home loss of the season. Canisius drops to 8-11-1 and 7-5-1 against league foes, while the Pioneers improve to 6-16-0 and 5-10-1 in Atlantic Hockey play.
"We had a tough time completely seizing the momentum today and there were a couple of key moments where Sacred Heart was able to do it," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "It was a pretty even game where Sacred Heart was able to find a way to win, similar to what we were able to do yesterday. We had better effort and energy today but we just need to have better focus, stay out of the penalty box and find ways to grab momentum throughout the game."
Senior Ryan Bohrer and sophomore Ralph Cuddemi both scored for the Griffs, while junior Keegan Asmundson took the loss in net with 33 saves.
Canisius wasted no time grabbing the lead, scoring on its first two shots of the game in just 2:50. Cuddemi gave the Griffs the lead just 70 seconds into the contest, connecting on the power play. Senior Kyle Gibbons found the sophomore open in the slot and Cuddemi finished for his seventh tally of the season. Senior defender Ben Danford also registered an assist on the early score.
Bohrer then stretched the Canisius lead to two with his first goal of the season just 1:40 later. On a rush, junior Braeden Rigney had his shot blocked. However, Bohrer gathered the loose puck in the slot, turned and finished for the 2-0 lead just 2:50 into the game.
Sacred Heart made its way back into the game, chipping into the Canisius lead with its first goal of the contest with 1:12 remaining in the first. Jeff Carroll knocked in a rebound off a rush to bring the Pioneers within one after one period of play, 2-1.
The Pioneers were then able to take advantage of a 1:40 of 5-on-3 action, scoring with just two seconds remaining in the two-man advantage. A shot from the point deflected off Will Rayner's skate and into the net to knot the contest at two just 1:18 into the second.
The game remained knotted at two until the closing minutes of regulation. Josh Phillips wrapped the puck around the boards and a Canisius defender pinched up attempting to keep it in the zone. However, the puck bounced over his stick and resulted in a breakaway for Drew George, who sent a slap shot into the net for the game-winning goal with 3:01 remaining.
Sacred Heart finished the contest with a 36-30 advantage in shots with both teams converting once on the power play (four attempts for Canisius and seven attempts for Sacred Heart).
Andrew Bodnarchuk stopped the final 28 shots he saw for the victory in net.
Canisius is back in action on Saturday, hosting Bentley at 12:05 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius entered the game as the nation's lone remaining unbeaten at home with a 4-0-1 record … The loss ended the Griffs' eight-game unbeaten streak against Sacred Heart (6-0-2) … Canisius lost a game when holding a two-goal lead for the third time this season (had lost two in the last two seasons combined).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thinking of this very same dilemma, I came up with this idea using bc/cc
lay down your flame color(s)
mask "in" your flames (flames covered)
lay down the black base
remove your flame masking
spray 2 wet coats of matting clear or clear with matt additive
let it dry
come back and mask "out" your flames (flames exposed)
scuff just the flames with gray scotchbright or a fine grit sandpaper
then 2 wet coats of flow clear.
Unmask, Use a mini-gun or airbrush to wet the edge of the flames with reducer to "melt" the edge.
The rest of the car will be under the matt clear, but the flames will be glossy because they were retoped with gloss clear.....there will be no edge at all after the melting with reducer, but you could always pinstripe anyways.
|just get some black acrylic urethane and add flattener to it. you local jobber should also have color chips for flat black this way you can pic out exactly what you want and he can mix it for you so your ready to go. on another note... i have not tried it personaly but heard of doing your gloss flames without the edge by shooting all flat black then mask for the flames and buff them out. i know you can buff a flat paint to a shine so it will work but it seems to me you would need to be real careful not to tear up the masking with the buffer. something to think about.
I think see what you mean... So, I would shoot the colors I wanted my flames to be, clear coat, then tape the flames off, scuff, and shoot the black last.
Cool, that helps...
Should I use a black base and a clear with a flattening agent? This would probably create a lot of build and an edge on the flames.? Is there another product similar to JDBB that will work in a single stage type application to try and avoid the edge?
I bet you won't have much edge either especally if you lay a extra coat first along the transition area. Kinda depends on what paint you end up using.
Something else is to take a dull knife and run along the flame edge at a low angle to flatten it out before it hardens up.
Cool idea.
Man those flames out to jump right out at ya.
|Try this technique on a test panel...spray your flame color 1st then tape out the design over the top and spray your black. After you peel it out if there's too much edge then try pinstriping the edge out in the same black with a brush to cover it in. That may satisfy the look you want. The black should cover very well with little build and may not need striping.
Gloss flames on suede car
Well I have been searching through the JDBB and flames threads trying to find an answer to my question, but have not been able to find much for specifics...
I would like to paint my car using a suede black paint. I have read a lot about the John Deere Blitz Black and I don't think I want to use that particular paint, but I really like the color and amount of gloss (or lack of) that it has. I have also heard that it does not like to be topcoated with anything but JD paint, thus creating my next dilema. I want to put some flames on the car, but I want these to be high gloss. I don't want a noticeable "edge" between the flames and the suede black either, so is single stage out of the question?
I have heard fo using a flattening agent in the clear. If I did this and then only cut and buffed the flames could I get what I am looking for? Buffing only the flames may be very tough to do though...
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? I would prefer to use PPG as I have a local supplier. I also prefer to stay with acrylic enamel because I am most comfortable using it.
Any help is appreciated!!!

text: This afternoon I was sitting on my couch watching television when I hear the yelps of a dog. I looked outside and see this tiny dog being attacked by a much larger dog. The tiny dog was some kind of poodle mix and the bigger one was a Boxer or something similar. I run to the front door and am about to go grab a broom and I see a woman running and jumping on the dogs. Her dog was the big one and she was literally on the ground fighting with all of her strength to get the dog to let go of its bite on the poodle. The poodle finally gets loose and runs home only to have the dog chase it down again in the garage with the owners right there watching everything happen! They finally get the dogs a part and the poodle runs inside, bleeding but hopefully with nothing life threatening. My question is, who is responsible? The boxer was on a leash but somehow broke free. The girl says she doesn't know how it happened, she was so incredibly upset and felt very guilty and I do not think she was lying. Plus, she had the leash in her hand so unless she likes to just carry the leash around for fun, I tend to believe that he was leashed at some point. How he broke free is anyone's guess. The issue here is the poodle. This dog runs the neighborhood all the time and is NEVER on a leash. I have had to stop my car in the middle of the street many times to wait for it to move. Can one person be held responsible for her dog attacking another when neither was on a leash? If anything, she can prove from witness accounts that she did have the dog on a leash but it got off somehow. I just feel bad for both involved, for the poor tiny puppy who was nearly killed (I hope the dog is OK, I haven't seen them since) and for the girl who was clearly full of guilt at what her dog did. She said she was walking her dog, this poodle came around the corner and barked at her and then her dog took off. I guess he was defending his Master so I have a hard time even blaming the Boxer. Just curious, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a knock at our door in the coming days from one or both of the parties involved since we were witnesses.

Discussion in 'Moves In The Field' started by FSWer, Sep 30, 2012.
Say,I was wondering how old our Skaters here were,when they first became Level Test Skaters?
I think I took my first skating test when I was about age 35. I'd been skating for a few years before then, and it took me that long to be ready to test!
I started skating when I was 37, and took my first test when I was almost 39.
The same as Garr, although I actually passed learn-to-skate twice - once when I was eight and then again when I was 30
I took my first skating test (preliminary figures) when I was 13. I didn't test again until my early 30s.
I started Aussie Skate when I was 12, I finished that when I was 13, and passed preliminary when I was 13 also.
I don't remember when I passed pre-preliminary moves, but I passed preliminary when I was 10.
I passed pre-pre moves when I was 12
8 when I started and 35 when I re-started.
I started skating at 27 & took my first dance tests that same year.
I didn't take my first test until I was 22, even thought I've been skating since I was 6. I got all my Canskate badges by 12, then earned several Canfigureskate badges before quitting singles and focusing on synchro when I was 11. At age 22, I tested my Dutch Waltz, and passed my last gold dance the following year. I started testing Skills when I was 23 and passed my gold test when I was 24 or 25. I kept doing synchro until I was 28, and was then off the ice for 3.5 years. I've just started skating again at age 32, and may consider testing again (perhaps Diamond dances or Interpretives).
I was 7 when I passed my first test which was a dance test. I will be 39 when I pass my very last dance test most likely in January. Kind of ironic that I started and will end with a dance test.
You are all so inspiring!
I started testing at 12, quite skating at 16 and then started again at about 23 - taking some dance tests. I have been skating on and off since for 20 years- but not consistently enough to work up to testing. But this year I am determined to take another dance test!
I will be 26, I am doing my first test on Nov 26th. I'll be doing the Dutch Waltz & Canasta Tango!
Good luck!
Thank you, I will let you know how it goes.. I'm not nervous yet, so that is a good sign!
I passed both the Dutch Waltz & Canasta Tango Just the Baby Blues to go for the Preliminary Dances, and my coach is going to have be work on the Fiesta Tango at the same time too.

There is such little hope in you and Ramy packing up your trash and leaving, despite all the hope a large number of us may have, so don't try to shake your finger and tut-tut at the folks calling you out, reiterating the rules that you so gleefully skirt the edges of, because it's quite apparent to everyone that not only are you full of it with your "almost meets this weeks critera," but that you know you can do just barely enough to get away with it. Boy oh boy, I wonder what would happen if I started to submit borderline, redundant garbage that may or may not contain a semblance of blatantly pre-conceived icons (and then proceed to feign ignorance). People would rip into me too, so don't think for one second that you and your boyfriend Ramy are somehow miraculously exempt from criticism. People aren't jumping all over your case for no good reason.
Looks like you need to take another look at how communities work, and what happens when you spit in their faces.
How about we keep comments about submissions in the realm of constructive criticism and leave out the personal animus? I snipped the first part of you post because I think that part was constructive. But the part I left in above... I think personal attacks on designers are out of line.
re: phineas the aeronaut
It's utter yak excrement that this was rejected just because it's a re-entry. I think it's the only thing I've seen so far that I would actually buy.
Some guppy on a lemon colored shirt will probably win, again. And I won't buy it, again.
fivestring wrote:This has got to be the most laem-est excuse ever. Could woot be more nondescript about this???
To the artist: Great design and execution of the derby theme. My only "gripe" about this - the buttons look plastic. Whenever this goes someplace else to sell - maybe use some gray color to make the buttons look steel/metal to contrast with the brass. Otherwise- very clever idea.
That's not really that vague. There is a large difference between the big gameboy shirt as costume shirt and this. The copyright issue is a little too daunting for them.
That said, once again, I urge you to throw it up on Cameesa. I know firsthand, since I own two shirts from there (technically three because Boots' colors got messed up) that the shirts are a good quality and the prints came out well. I know there's a waiting period, maybe, but when it's done...
Thanks for the suggestion. I was actually going for a "pearl" look for the buttons. I just hope I can sell this soon while there is still interest in it. I don't want it to be forgotten.

Freakin brilliant. I would LOVE to see something like this get in the fog and watch the chaos that follows!

They have a track record for allowing off topic designs from popular artists.
I am personally a fan of seki's stuff. This is a very gorgeous looking design. I don't think i would wear it on a shirt, but it would look great on a poster.
And it's SO NOT steampunk.
This design will continue to fog and most likely print.
Steampunk is much easier to understand than art deco, IMO.
I agree that things are open to interpretation, but only to the extent that they remain on topic.
Anyway, we all went over this back on the art deco theme.
IMO, if there are this many people telling you that you are off topic, then it's likely that you are indeed off-topic.
if it look like wolf and make bark like wolf, then is probably wolf.
Re: Steampunk Willie
More people need to vote for this, dammit. This is the one shirt this derby I would actually buy.
Hey! This is really nice! Great flow on the shirt...and you really nailed the Steampunk theme. I love it!
Re: Steamworks Operatica
This is absolutely ridiculous!!!
the color is asphalt! how can this be rejected??
Even if it's slightly off, can't woot just alter the pantone color like they SAY they will do in the submission instructions.
This is very disappointing to say the least.
I really gotta think if I want to continue supporting this site by buying shirts. It may be time to go spend my 10-15 bucks elsewhere. It's a shame because there are some really great shirts to buy here. But integrity seems to be lacking.
haezoo wrote:So. Where IS your submission? Please link so we can all worship your ultimate skillz.
Please show us your submission as well. If the ability to analyze and criticize art requires that you be able to create art, surely praising it does so as well.
Hopefully my response to this isn't really needed because most people here are not foolish enough to try to make your point but given how often it seems to come up it felt necessary.
supersonic213 wrote:That said, I have to agree that the final design doesn't really fit the theme well. However, your intentions are VERY clear from the line art that you were going for the theme pretty strongly from the beginning and at least we know you weren't just trying to slip this one past the rejectionator or anything ^_^ So thanks very much for posting that.
Glad you recognized where I was going with the lineart, even I admit that the final product is not as steampunk as I would like, but I think if I had taken the coloring in a different direction, it would look more like a typical steampunk picture. It doesn't look like it will print anyway, so my best hope is that it can get an honorable mention, and then in double take, it won't matter what the original theme was.

Also, I'd like to say something that will probably be falling on deaf ears (eyes?): Us critics would have a lot more respect from those that matter if we would set an example and be less jerky/more helpful.
Ramy is moreso the bunnies/rodents person. ;) But thanks.
And I couldn't agree with you more on the second part. I don't know why people who say things like "this isn't steampunk, it's CRA P" expect me to pay attention to them at all.

Actually it is very vague. Look at the reason for rejection again if you don't believe me.
Woot rejections are way to subjective if you ask me.
Re: Blueprints for a Legend...
AWESOME. Your execution is spot-on! Maybe not that steampunk, but the voters and rejectionators alike seem to have a broad definition of the art style. I LOVE his goggles and the splash of plasma blue. Your talent shows through very well and I would buy it in a second. Keep subbing!

Not steampunk, but I guarantee you'll get an honorable mention.

I never said it was guppy. It's a VERY cool design, but it doesn't fit the theme.
It's more like cyberpunk than steampunk.
The debate shouldn't be about skill. The debate should be about submitting a design that isn't similar to other designs and follows the theme. Dog is not steampunk. Design looks like an existing design. End of story.

eHalcyon wrote:The template used here is NOT an "officially approved template". The only official template is the same cartoon drawing you see on the main shirt.woot page. "Real tee" templates, such as the one Drakxxx used here, are NOT official, although they are acceptable as long as the colour is represented correctly. This shirt template in particular is out of date; Cho's "wrinkly" shirt template is a much better representation.
I don't think the swatch was ever as light as the colour used in the background of this comp. If it was, it was in an extremely outdated version of the official template; when the new one was posted it was announced and everything. I'm pretty sure this happened before Drakxxx started submitting, unless I just never noticed his submissions until his Clockwork Orange entry.
Oh shut up you little brown noser. How many times are you going to defend Woot for their stupid decisions? Anybody with a brain can see this design was supposed to be on asphalt.
Drakxx fails again, muahahaha!
ack154 wrote:WHO IS VOTING FOR THIS guppy?!
I, for one. I have no problem voting for a shirt I like regardless of the derby's theme, especially when it's a theme I don't know or care about. I don't place much stock in categorizing things in general and feel fine to leave entry eligibility up to shirt.woot.
For whatever reason, today I like this shirt. Tomorrow I may not and take back my vote. If I'd consider buying (and wearing) something, I vote.
I have voted for two shirts in this derby: this and the one we're discussing here.
supersonic213 wrote:We'll miss you and your multiple accounts? ^_^
Maybe other shirt sites like listening to whining and crying. I'm glad it isn't this one.
Why would I want to have multiple accounts? For what possible use would they be? I've only ever had one account. This one. It is perhaps the other direction you should direct the "multiple accounts" joke.

marzipanapple wrote:Jewel, you're always pumping out quality. I have to agree with eHalcyon though on this one. While this *is* a quality design, I'm seeing a very loose interpretation of steampunk. Truly though, I love the profile.
a loose interpretation IS still an interpretation. just like interpreting the constitution, you can either read it conservatively or liberally, but either is still an interpretation. unless woot gets someone with a PhD in Steampnk'dness to put his/her stamp of approval on every submission, the theme is left interpreted by every individual. although the current fog'd entries are valid interpretations of the theme, there are way better interpretations out there.

This is NOT steampunk in the slightest, and attitudes like this really piss me off - if good designers stick to the theme and turn out really great artwork that is on topic, and then someone else turns out a shirt that people like but that is not to the theme, well, what is the point of the other designers sticking to the theme too? I was really looking forward to this derby to get some hardcore steampunk designs, and now the only stuff left in the fog - with the somewhat exception of Cho's shirt - is non-theme, non-steampunk. How about some real vetting here woot? Isn't that the point of the theme?
Re: Of the Moment
Very pretty yes, steampunk no. Another type of theme I'd be all over it.
I decide to do the re-submission on a brown shirt, as I think it further enhances the dirty metal steampunk vibe, and I also re-did various details here and there in attempts to bring more focus into the composition.
The chances of this getting back up top are unlikely, but at least the design is back as part of steampunk woot, and for the people who liked it the first time around.
Again guys, thank you endlessly for all your support and encouragement.
Here is a link to a large composition of version 2 of the design:

The P40 is designed for concealed carry/personal protection. It has no external safety, thus the long trigger pull. To me, the trigger is similar to a DAO revolver trigger - though IMO better. I actually like the Kahr trigger for its designed purpose - though not for target shooting. In fact, the Kahr P9/40 was not designed for target shooting - though I do think it's amazingly accurate for a small DAO pistol.
The Kahr website has great info and accessories.
They list some custom work by Cylinder & Slide for steel & polymer frames:
And lots of accessories like holsters, grips, mags, etc.

Federal Grants
Grants are considered gift aid. Gift aid is the most valued source of financial aid because grant money does not have to be repaid. Grants are awarded based on need.
Federal PELL Grant (PELL)
The PELL Grant is a federal program for undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. Amounts can change yearly. The maximum Federal Pell Grant award is $5,775 for the 2015-2016 award year (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016). The amount you are awarded will depend on:
- your financial need,
- your cost of attendance,
- your status as a full-time or part-time student, and
- your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.
Award Range: up to $2887.50 per semester
You may not receive Federal Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.
Effective on July 1, 2012, you can receive the Federal Pell Grant for no more than 12 semesters or the equivalent. You'll receive a notice if you are getting close to your limit. If you have any questions, contact your financial aid office.
If you are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, you'll receive the full amount you qualify for - each school participating in the program receives enough funds each year from the U.S. Department of Education to pay the Federal Pell Grant amounts for all its eligible students. The amount of any other student aid for which you might qualify does not affect the amount of your Federal Pell Grant.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
The SEOG is a federal grant program. Awards are made based on unmet need, expected family contribution, and file completion on or before the Financial Aid Priority Deadlines. The Financial Aid Office is responsible for selecting eligible students with the lowest family contributions and determining the amount of SEOG awards.
Award Range: up to $250 per semester

NY Times misreported Bush's original spending limit on transportation bill
In an August 11 article [1] on President Bush's signing of the $286.4 billion transportation bill, New York Times reporter Anne E. Kornblut falsely reported that President Bush "initially set the limit" for spending on the bill at $284 billion. In fact, Bush originally stated [2] that he would reject any bill over $256 billion. Kornblut also failed to note that the bill may actually end up costing $295 billion; the $286.4 billion price tag does not include an additional $8.5 billion counted separately under what critics called an accounting gimmick.
From the Times article titled "Bush Signs Huge Transportation Measure":
Mr. Bush had threatened to veto the transportation legislation if its cost was too high, and he had initially set the limit at $284 billion. But when Congressional leaders reached an agreement after more than a year of wrangling over the legislation, the administration embraced it, and Mr. Bush drew significant attention to it with the signing ceremony.
Other news reports noted that Bush reneged on his initial pledge to limit spending on the bill. For example, The Washington Post reported [3] on August 11 that, in 2002, Bush "said he would reject any bill over $256 billion. Then he lifted his limit to $284 billion." Similarly, an August 11 Associated Press report [4] noted: "The bill's price tag over six years was $30 billion more than Mr. Bush recommended, but he said he was proud to sign it."
Citing Citizens Against Government Waste president Tom Schatz, the Post also reported that the transportation bill may exceed the $286 billion figure that has been widely cited: "[Bush] ultimately signed a bill with a price tag that is $286 billion only because of a gimmick that hides additional costs of up to $9 billion, Schatz said." As The Wall Street Journal noted [5] on August 4, the $9 billion discrepancy Schatz highlighted is between the transportation bill's "contracting authority," or the $295 billion that states could hypothetically spend, and its "obligation limitations," or the $286.4 billion that states will receive in the end from the federal government. Any funds that states spend beyond the allocated $286.4 billion would need to be repaid to the federal government in 2009, under a provision in the act. From the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (H.R. 3 [6], Sec. 10212 [7]):
On September 30, 2009, $8,543,000,000 of the unobligated balances of funds apportioned before such date to the States for the Interstate maintenance, national highway system, bridge, congestion mitigation and air quality improvement, surface transportation (other than the STP set-aside programs), metropolitan planning, minimum guarantee, Appalachian development highway system, recreational trails, safe routes to school, freight intermodal connectors, coordinated border infrastructure, high risk rural road, and highway safety improvement programs, and each of the STP set-aside programs, is rescinded.
Even a Republican member of Congress has called the provision a "gimmick." As The Washington Post reported [8] on August 4, Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said of Congress's pledge to rescind $8.5 billion in 2009: "Nobody believes that's going to happen. ... It's frankly a pretty transparent gimmick." The August 4 Journal article cited another critic of the provision who called it a "gimmick" as evidence that "[a]dvocates for lower taxes weren't buying" the congressional pledge to "take back $8.5 billion at the end":
To meet White House spending targets while satisfying state demands for more highway money, Congress included an unusual accounting maneuver that calls for cuts to every state's piece of the pie.
On Sept. 30, 2009, the federal government will take back $8.5 billion from the pot of money in the highway bill that President Bush is expected to sign Wednesday. The bill provides money for roads, bridges, mass transit and other infrastructure projects. In the bill, the maneuver is called a "rescission" of dollars, and congressional officials and lobbyists who worked on the legislation said the White House insisted on it. The overall highway bill has been advertised as costing $286.4 billion over six years. But the total spending that the bill authorizes adds up to $295 billion. To square the numbers, Congress simply will take back $8.5 billion at the end.
Advocates for lower taxes weren't buying it. "It's a gimmick," said Keith Ashdown of Taxpayers for Common Sense. His group joined others in urging Mr. Bush to veto the bill for a variety of reasons including the rescission. In a letter to President Bush slated for release today, the groups suggest that the cut in states' funding may never actually happen.

Canisius College women's lacrosse head coach Scott Teeter named senior Maria Kotas and juniors Tori Greco, Tori Quinn and Casey Depauw as team captains for the 2014 season.
"We will rely on the leadership from our four captains and their experiences of winning MAAC Championships to help us defend our conference title," Teeter said. "All four girls bring tremendous leadership to our program both on and off the field and are a great representation of Canisius College. As we continue to advance our program, this group has all the qualities to lead us in the right direction and help us take the next step."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|blndweasel, I'm not upset with you or anyone else. It's all good. I have a lot of respect for the folks on this site as I said earlier. I just wish I would have found that link to Stewart Components earlier in the discussion. Have a great day.
hey vic,
sorry I got a little firey sunday... that link you posted to stewart components is really great. I think perhaps a few of your initial posts were worded a little tricky, and then when you went off on the sarcasm rant it rubbed me the wrong way since everyone in this post is essentially trying to help by contributing something.
at any rate, the stewartcomponents.com tech tips were clearly explained and support your argument.
no hard feelins?

|Yeah email me if you want the Tel. no. email@example.com Gene is the guys name and he has charged me 200 bucks Canadian for a hot tank, bore and hone, with cam bearings installed and frost plugs and block painted. But I was bringing him quite a few blocks for awhile there. But he is fair and really knows his stuff.
I havnt heard about warrior engines, but i am gonna look into it for sure. Thanks for the lead.
Ktaves, I have been rooked by more than one "dumb" farmer cause they never stop learning!! Yeah, there are other materials that transfer heat better than others, but who is making copper or lead rads these days? Cost prohibitive.
The military has the best schools in this country because of their method of teaching. Their educational culture understands that the human brain, while the best computer by far, only absorbs a fraction of what it is exposed to. Thus, the military repeats itself over and over and states the material in different ways until everone totally understands the same material. Because of threads like this, we are doing the same thing. I learn something almost every day and one of the things I learn is that some of my conceptions of how something works have not been totally correct because someone addressed the subject from a different prospective that opend my mind. That is what keeps me spending time on this great site and you will seldom find me telling someone they are flat out wrong!!!
Guys Guys... we cant let differences of opinion start up feelings against each other. That just gets in the way of a good debate! I was enjoying this one.
I have learned a few things on this topic again.
ASTROPS... Do you deal with Gene at Warrior Engines there in Oshawa? He runs a good shop and fair prices! I take all my blocks to him.
Well, the car runs great now, 180 cruisin, to about 195-200 in traffic. Thanks to all who got involved in this thread, I laghed, I cried, and I am sorry to see it end.
Gotta hand it to you guys, you know your stuff, be it one theory or the next, very interesting reading.
OK...before this thread spins further out of control, let me address some of the points that blndweasel made.
Some folks are mad about what I said and some are mad about how I said it.
I agree 100% with the comment that this site has some very knowledgeable people. In fact I consider trees and troy-curt part of that knowledgeable group. However, none of us (including myself) are correct on all of our ideas and every post we make. If someone has a dissenting opinion, it needs to be aired and hopefully resolved to a common understanding. At no time during this thread was I ever mad, upset or personally offended with anyone who disagreed. I was looking for a dialog to see if we could reach agreement. If I offended anyone, either grow some thicker skin or use the ignore button and shut me out. When I see something I disagree with and feel I have supporting data, I'll stick with it until we reach some kind of understanding. I would expect others to do the same when they disagree with me technically. As a point of reference, this thread was rather mild compared to many others in the past.
|Trees, does your little paper also tell you that aluminum transfers heat better than copper?? I am just a dumb farmer but I always learned thru textbooks and experience that copper is better than aluminum for transfering heat. And altho I do not recommend using straight water (because of corosion and low boil temp) but straight water does much better job at pulling out heat as well as getting rid of heat than antifreeze mix does. Some people think that by making a stronger mix it might help cool , but it makes it slightly worse.
I guess it's normal to shoot the messenger. Try this site for info. I'm sure most hotrodders would respect the word of Stewart Components (high flow water pumps).
I reluctantly reenter this furball for a little more pontification. Think of the thermostat as a flow valve, which it really is. The binarry valve action makes it automatic and it is predicated on maintaining the coolant at a selected level. It can go from most all the way closed to wide open, a setting that was designed by the thermo engineers for a specific engine and a large range of operating conditions such as 40 below 0 F to 130 F and air conditioning going and stop and go traffic. Now we highly modify that motor and put the same rad and thermostat in it and the wide open hole in the little thermostat is just too small to allow enough coolant flow and most likeky if you put in a larger thermostat , the rad will not effectively transfer enough heat. The method of drilling the small holes I mentioned earlier is a cheap way of increasing the wide open flow capacity of the themostat and couple this with a big aluminum rad, then that big fire breathing monster will be tamed.
32, I also have one of those worthless pieces of paper that says I studied thermo and fluid dynamics. That and a buck twenty five will buy me a cup of coffee most any where!
This is my understanding of the reasoning for reducing the flow at the outlet (whether it be a thermostat, or a 'washer'), so please feel free to correct me:
Water (including coolant mixed in) has a set boiling point. To raise that boiling point, increase pressure (on a linear scale, I believe). So, by resticting flow at the outlet, it creates a pressure build behind it. Pressure is also increase to a certain extent by the expansion of the coolant in a finite space. This increase in pressure reduces/eliminates hot spots around the bores. Without the restriction by a thermostat or washer, the pressure build is not enough to eliminate the steam pockets/hot spots, thus increasing the likelyhood of detonation.
Hey vicky i really dislike everything you have to say, mostly because the tone you've decided to use in saying it.
This is a great forum full of very knowledgeable people, just as highly educated as you are... they all have useful information to share with you, you just have to not take things personally when someone else disagrees with you.
the blonde weasel

There is nothing technical about installing a thermostat, like I've said it's like a valve in the system to control the rate of flow of the coolant so it will stay in the radiator long enough to cool before it recirculates to pick up heat and return to the radiator to radiate more heat.
Net time in the radiator? In that case you could run the coolant through as fast as you want to. Defeating the purpose of the thermostat.
Class dismissed.
If you don't make mistakes. your not doing anything.

oh yeah...and my mother wears combat boots, too.
Call me a troll if you wish, but I've given plenty of technical reasons as to the fallacy of flow reduction making a coolant system more efficient. When will someone provide something technical in rebuttal.
I've agreed that slower flow in the radiator allows more heat rejection for that one pass. But I've also demonstrated that the net time in the radiator is the same regardless of the flow rate for the system. So...explain in technical terms how slowing the flow gets you more time in the radiator. Where did my calculation go awry? I've also agreed that on some systems, adding a thermostat can make an engine run cooler. What I have disagreed with is the explanation as to why it sometimes helps.
Stop the name calling and provide something substantial. As for which forum this belongs in, it should stay in the "engine" section as this is where all of the folks look for answers to engine cooling issues.

Law Professor Michael McIntyre receives President's Award for Excellence in Service
January 07, 2013
Professor of Law Michael McIntyre has been honored with Wayne State University's President's Award for Excellence in Service.
It's the latest of many honors for McIntyre, who joined Wayne Law in 1975 and has been "both an inspiring teacher and productive scholar" ever since, according to WSU President Allan Gilmour.
An internationally acclaimed expert on taxation, McIntyre teaches various tax courses, writes widely on tax topics, and for the last 30 years, has consulted widely on a range of tax policy issues for various public bodies. He has testified numerous times before various committees of Congress and is widely quoted in the international press.
He has served as a consultant to various U.S. states and to national governments — including Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, New Zealand, Peru, Romania, Spain, United States and Vietnam — on six continents; and to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; and the United Nations' Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters, a group that has prepared and updated the UN's model tax treaty.
McIntyre has distinguished himself at Wayne State, as well.
In 1982, he was the first recipient of a Career Development Chair, and in 1990, he received the Board of Governors Faculty Recognition Award for his book, "The International Income Tax Rules of the United States." That two-volume treatise was updated annually through 2002. He is also the author (with B. J. Arnold), of a book titled "International Tax Primer," the second edition of which was published in 2002.
"His induction into the University's Academy of Scholars in 2012 is recognition of his outstanding contribution to the Wayne State University Law School and of his national and international reputation in his field," Gilmour said.
McIntyre also has volunteered at Wayne State throughout his career. He has been a member of the Academic Senate for more than 20 years, and was the primary author of the final report created by an ad hoc committee formed to develop a new Board of Governors statute at Wayne on centers and institutes. He also served on various other university ad hoc committees, including the President's Budget Advisory Committee in 2012.
"As a member of the Provost's Budget Analysis Committee, he helps interview deans and analyze school and college budgets, providing important context and perspective to these processes," Gilmour said. "Most recently, Professor McIntyre was the driving intellectual force on a special committee assigned to examine tenure and related matters. His efforts resulted in creating a foundation for resolution on these important issues."
The award was presented to McIntyre on Dec. 17 at the university president's apartment during a lunch organized by Gilmour in the professor's honor.

Here is the description:
ArcheBlade is a free to play 3D multiplayer fighting game that captures the essence of combo-based fighting games combined with unique game modes. Play as one of many characters and master your skills to become the best fighter.
Just from the trailer and screenshots it looked really fkn good! I thought it'd be a typical fighter game though but it's not, it has character upgrades and multiple gametypes such as moba mode, ctf, team deathmatch and so on!
Here's a link to the steam page:
Is ANYONE playing this or have heard/played it? Would love to hear a review as I'm currently downloading it

A Radcliff man pleaded not guilty this morning to upgraded charges of murder and first-degree criminal abuse in his 1-month-old son's death earlier this month.
Jarrod D. Davis, 23, was indicted Thursday on the new charges. Radcliff police originally arrested the father Jan. 16 for second-degree manslaughter.
Davis' son, Ja'Vion Davis, was found dead Jan. 15. According to the Hardin County Coroner, Ja'Vion died from multiple injuries, including blunt force trauma to the head.

Radio Dabanga or as it is more commonly known, Radio Darfur is produced by six Darfuri journalists who are attempting to make know the real situation in their nation and in Sudan. Gaafar Monro was a human rights activist who served in the Sudan parliament, but after he began to speak the truth about horrors in Darfur, Monro was forced to flee the country. As he describes the radio station: "I enable people to express their views, freely and frankly. And because Radio Darfur is in a free situation, we even received call from people who are pro-Bashir and we reflected their views." His audience also serves as journalists by calling in stories concerning what is happening in Darfur and the Sudan.
Monro recently received a call from Nyala in South Darfur which said: "Hello, we are a group of around 15 students of Nyala Secondary school and we are going to form a listening club that's called Radio Darfur Friends." Radio Darfur is able to spark such desires to live in a free country and end the dictatorship which currently leads attacks on innocent people and the rape of the country and its women.

"The Best" is a relative term, only you will decide what is best for you. Everyone gets hung up on "the best" There is no such thing, so stop looking for it right of the bat. If you ask 20 different people what's best, be ready for 20 different answers.
Second, don't discount the Glock due to looks, that's silly. Looking pretty won't make it function any better, just find some of us disgruntled Kimber owners.
Third, you've almost priced yourself out of the Sigs unless you go certified pre-owned (not a bad idea) the 229 and 239 are two totally different guns, the 229 is a double stack the 239 is a single stack. You can go to Sig's website and see the differences.
Holster selection for the Baby Eagle is smaller than the selection for more common guns, so if you decide you want to carry it later on it will be an issue.If it wasn't for the fact that you rule it out later, I would've suggested the Glock 19, while some find it ugly, it's still a hard package to beat. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but it's a fabulous starting point in finding out what you like and what you don't.I want something relatively compact and (preferably) with a polymer frame. Money, unfortunately is an issue. I'd like to have a limit of 600 dollars, but I'll spend more if I can find something I love.Unless you've been shooting pistols for a long, long time. Most if not all mid-tier guns are going to shoot relatively the same in the accuracy dept. Most peolple that complain of inaccurate guns need to spend less time on the internet posting about it and more time at the range with a knowledgeable person and find out what they're doing wrong and correct it.Reliability and Accuracy are KEY!!!As stated, looks don't make gun. But hey, it's your gun you can buy what you want.That said, I have to love the look of the gun, which is why I'm straying from the glock.I have no experience with the Jericho or the P99, but I would say that both are decent guns. The Sigs are fabulous, I seem to have a love affair with them as I don't currently own one, but have had some in the past. They seem to be my chick on the side as far as firearms are concerned. I just can't leave my current loves for them. I don't like the slide stop location and I'm not overly fond of the DAK and hate traditional DA/SA triggers, I had a 220 SAO, but as far as single stack, metal, SAO, .45s go; the 1911 is still king IMHO. Now that being said, the 226 in 9mm with the traditional DA/SA trigger is still on of the most reliable, accurate, and dead sexy pistols I've laid eyes on. The 229 is basically a scaled down version of the 226.I've been looking at a few guns in particular. First off, I love the Jericho (baby eagle) polymer compact. Also, the Walther p99 is a great looking gun (never held it though). And I've heard great things about the SIG's - I was thinking maybe a p229 or 239 (don't really know the difference) or a p250 (which I've heard mixed things about).
As stated, you can go to Sig's website and see the different models. As far as caliber is concerned, there is nothing wrong with the 9mm, the .40 is only slightly larger and the increased muzzle climb is a little harder to master. Being new to handguns, I would say it's best for you to start with the 9mm. Why introduce more issues like increased recoil while learning to master the gun?
Another possibility is the Springfield XD line, but if you think the Glock is ugly, you obviously haven't seen the original XD. I have an XDM in 9mm and love it.
Regarding poymer. I prefer steel frames to alloy or polymer, but I've had a little of everything and opinion of polymer is changing direction back into the positive side of things. There is something to be said for the weight difference as far as carry is concerned. But for a house gun is the light weight really needed? The added weight does help to dampen recoil and if it's a house gun, the added weight doesn't matter.
Now all that being said, the best course of action is to try and find a place that has a range and rents guns, they may not have all the models you want to try, but it's a start to find out what you like and what you don't. And while you're there, rent a Glock just to give it a try.
