But his meet was salvaged by the sudden wake-up of Elliot Mavorah's Interpatation. While the 6-year-old Langfuhr gelding has yet to win in seven starts this year, at Saratoga he ran third to Grand Couturier in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Invitational, came back to run third at Philadelphia Park, and then ran second in the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational to runaway winner Grand Couturier.
The Knickerbocker will be one of two graded stakes on Saturday's seven-race card, which will begin at 1 p.m. Eastern. The other attraction will be the 56th running of the Grade 3, $150,000 Sport Page Handicap for three-year-olds at up at seven furlongs on the main track.
Belmont Park will then offer complete simulcast wagering on the Breeders' Cup World Championships, with first race post for the Marathon at 1:10 p.m. Eastern. Fans can advance wager on Saturday's Breeders' Cup races at Belmont Park on Friday afternoon.
Gates will open at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 25. Voucher sellers and self-service windows will be open beginning at 10:30 a.m. on the first floor grandstand and second floor clubhouse. At 11:30 a.m., a few live tellers will be available in the same areas.
Interpatation's summer races against top quality horses could easily translate into a victory on Saturday. Last year, after running third to eventual Turf champion English Channel, Interpatation ran last in the nine-horse Knickerbocker, which was held at Aqueduct.
Aqueduct's turf course was extremely soft that day – not quite the bog it was at Monmouth Park for the Breeders' Cup – and even with some rain forecast, Interpatation should have more solid footing on Saturday.
Graded stakes winner Proudinsky, a German-bred son of Silvano, also appears to prefer firmer footing. After coming within a neck of defeating retired Kentucky Derby/Preakness winner Big Brown in the Monmouth Stakes on September 13, he finished a distant fifth in the 1 ½-mile Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational.
"They tell me he's doing really good," said Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel, who is minding his Breeders' Cup horses in California. "He's a nice horse and I think that last race at a mile and a half was too long for him. The Knickerbocker will be a better fit, so we're going to take a shot."
There were only six horses entered in the 2007 Knickerbocker and Dion A. Recachina's Operation Red Dawn had to alter course in the stretch. The Miswaki gelding was necked for place by Thorn Song, who was beaten a lengthy by victorious Fishy Advice.
A Grade 2 winner on dirt, Carol Nyren's Dry Martini has made only two turf starts in his 18-race career. His most recent was here on October 2, when he ran second to German-bred Formal Decree by a length and a quarter over a yielding course at the Knickerbocker distance. Both Dry Martini, trained by Billy Turner, and Formal Decree, trained by Saeed bin Suroor, are entered for the Knickerbocker Handicap.
The field for Saturday's 49th running of the Grade 3 Knickerbocker Handicap
1 Formal Decree (GER) Saeed bin Suroor Jean-Luc Samyn 115

For a hundred dollars per hour, go for it.Otherwise, pass.
I just got off the phone with another removal call. Not sure if I want it or not being so late in the year. Trapout is the only option for me, but the biggest problem is that homeowner stated that the bees are already entering the inside of the house. Could be exciting when/if I put a trap in place :)

BMW 323i Recall 14V428000
Airbag Inflator Concern
Certain vehicles are being recalled because the passenger airbag inflator may rupture upon deployment. Vehicle occupants could be struck by metal fragments resulting in personal injury.
Owners of affected vehicles will receive an interim notice during August for 2014. Parts are not expected to be available until October 2014. If you don't receive notification in a timely manner and believe you should have, please contact your BMW dealer for further instruction. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call.
Upon deployment the passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. BMW dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.
July 16, 2014
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2000 323i sedans, coupes, convertibles, and Sports Wagons; 2000 328i sedans and coupes; 2001-2005 325i sedans, coupes, convertibles, and Sport Wagons; 2001-2005 325xi sedans and Sports Wagons; 2006 325i coupes and convertibles; 2001-2006 330i sedans, coupes, and convertibles; 2001-2005 330xi sedans; and 2001-2006 M3 coupes and convertibles to address a safety defect in the passenger side frontal air bag which may produce excessive internal pressure that could cause the air bag inflator to rupture upon deployment of the air bag.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure could cause rupturing of the inflator resulting in metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the passenger seat occupant or other occupants.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger side frontal air bag, free of charge. An interim notice will be mailed to owners in August 2014. A second notice will be mailed when an adequate supply of parts is available, currently anticipated to be in October 2014. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. This is an expansion of NHTSA Recall 13V-172.

Fine Dining - ..::The River Winds Restaurant::..
I finally got up the nerve to pull into the cove at Riverwinds. It might be a nice point for a Delaware River rendezvous. Colin and Denise - what are your drafts again? We went in at about MLLW+3', and found a minimum of about 8 feet at the entrance. So it might be a little tough for Denise getting in at low tide - hopefully she could time it for more water. Once inside we had about 11-12 feet at our mooring ball. (Note that my transducer is about 1' below the waterline.) It was a nice day, and there were about 4 boats when we entered, and about 12 boats - most of them rafted - when we left. One catch is that there is no marina or dock - you need to dinghy in to use their nice restaurant, beach, and walking paths. There were several people swimming, though I would not do that. It's an easy 1 hour sail from Essington, and could be easily reached from Bristol in a day. A bunch of powerboaters in my marina head over there for overnight anchorages.
Did not get a good photo of the stadium on Friday, better shot on Sunday.
The City of Chester is looking for a marina developer for the cove just down river from the stadium (currently sheet pile three sides but completly silted up at low tide).
I have a design team lined-up but no developer.

I went through the main span, but the wind died right as I was approaching and the current pushed me right toward the warning bouy. It made for a few nervous moments:
Sailing without headway is what I do best.
But sometimes not a good place to be close the shipping channel.
A few years ago when I still had my leaky stinky Volvo inboard, I was sailing with minimal headway under the Commodore Barry main span with a tug/barge behind me. No problem I thought, turn the motor on and get out of the way. Motor turns over, no start, try again, nothing. Wake from the tug/barge has the potential to push me against the bridge pier.
A quick 180 and I am going in a controled drift with the current clear of the channel.

|Anything less than 1 knot current I call slack tide.
Colin & Rick,
This is cruel after reading your slogs on the Delaware, but:
We rode that at least half way down the bay to Annapolis, before the Chesapeake brought a brutal 0.4 knot foul current to the bow. (under power)
No problem Rick
I wanted to stop at Delaware City anyway to check the actual dredge depth.
The dredge channel at the entrance to the old canal is very narrow. I came through close to high tide and and was getting between 7 and 15 ft on the sounder as I came in from Red 6A on a direct line to the Green daymark at the entrance. The entrance could use more than one day marker. On exit I took a line center of old canal and parallel to the ferry dock to the refinery dredge channel 35ft+ depth then turned to Red 6A and saw not less than 12ft on the sounder as I exited.
I would suggest for entering Delaware City stay in the refinery channel past Red 6A until you have a visual range into the old canal and stay centered on the canal as you enter, keep an eye on your sounder the entire way.
The partialy sunk dredge boat is still sitting in the town dock basin, and no boats at town dock. The government dock was in use (official use only), and marine police boats were at the ferry dock.
I stopped at the marina fuel dock for about an hour, and could have stayed longer. Cannot say for sure but I get the impression that if there is space you only pay if overnighting.
I did not hit the peak ebb tide until Cherry Island Flats, boat motor speed dropped from 4.5 to 2.5 until past Chester Island the I was back to 4.5 my normal motor speed close to slack.
Going slow along Cherry Island flats I noticed the edge (25ft riseing to 12ft)is well defined with a line of crab trap floats green can to green can. I hugged the edge of the flats to reduce travel distance.
Current in refinery channel

Visitors with Disabilities
There are two entrances for visitors in wheelchairs: From the entrance on the corner of Niels Brocks Gade and Dantes Plads, wheelchair users have access to the ticketing area and the cloakroom in the basement and to the collection of Danish painting, to Café Glyptoteket, the loggia and the Museum Bookstore.
From the entrance at Tietgensgade 25, there is access to the Winter Garden, the Ancient Mediterranean rooms, the Central Hall, the Collection of French Painting and the Collection of Antiquities. Please note: it is only possible to visit the Collection of Antiquities if one is able to manage the individual steps between the exhibition rooms unaided or with the help of a companion.
Download a floor plan that indicates toilets, lifts and wheelchair access.
The Glyptotek was built at a time when the standards of access were not as high as they are today. The museum was constructed with steps leading up to the main entrance, the Winter Garden, the Central Hall and most of the galleries. The architecture, as well as the status of the building as a preserved monument, prevents complete access for visitors in wheelchairs. But if you are able to walk up a few stairs, it is possible to get around the entire museum.
Groups of wheelchair users are requested to notify us of their visit beforehand, either by telephone: (+45) 33 41 81 41 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Assistance for Blind and Visually Handicapped Visitors
Visitors with visual handicaps may be given permission to touch the statues in designated galleries. Visits to the museum must be arranged in advance in order to be certain that the museum has staff available for assistance. Guide dogs are allowed.

Hey everyone! My name is Corey and I'm from British Columbia, Canada. I've finally finished my TDK Joker costume and have set my sights on my long time favourite SW character, Boba Fett. TDH is one of the friendliest forums I've ever been on! A very helpful and accommodating community. There is A LOT of information here, almost overwhelming haha. I want to work on my Boba Fett slowly, learn from the best to get the best. I have a lot of questions and am wondering if there is someone with lots of knowledge who would be willing to answer quick random PMs from me? As I'm looking through dead threads, questions arise and I would be very grateful if someone would be willing to answer my questions.
Thanks in advance to all the helpful and kind members here!
Yours truly,

Ritual Communication: Latest Wenner-Gren Symposium Publication out now
Ritual Communication, published by Berg Publishers, is now available for purchase.
This volume presents a new approach to "ritual communication" by an international group of scholars from a multidisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, rich with empirical data and path breaking for future theorizing on the topic.
The chapters show how ritual communication involves witnessing a future through the making of cultural knowledge. They show ritual communication to be a highly "self-oriented" multimodal process in which the human body, temporalization, and spatialized settings play crucial roles. Ritual communication encompasses both verbal and sensory attributes. It is in part dependent upon prior formulaic and repeated action, and is thus anticipated within particular contexts of social interaction. It is performed and therefore subject to evaluation by its participants according to standards defined by language ideologies, local aesthetics, contexts of use, and interpersonal relations.
The authors here emphasize the variety of participatory and experiential aspects of ritual communication in contemporary African, Native American, Asian, and Pacific cultures. Among the forms covered are ritual constraints on everyday interaction, gossip, private and public encounters, political meetings and public demonstrations, rites of passage, theatrical performances, magical formulae, shamanic chants, affinal civilities, and leaders' ceremonial discourse.
The Wenner-Gren Foundation continues to publish the output of its Symposium Program. Currently symposia are published through Berg Publishers in the Wenner-Gren International Symposium series. However, moving forward Wenner-Gren will be publishing symposia through the journal Current Anthropology.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:04pm
The IL Gear Zone Stringers Spotlight continues and, as promised, we're featuring some of the incredibly talented individuals who have helped build The Lacrosse Forums, and specifically The Stick Doctor's Lounge, into the single greatest stringing and dyeing resource on the planet.
One of the first up-and-coming stringers we connected with is Heeyoung Leem of Placentia, California, who goes by "Hawk30" on the Forums and has been stringing for about five years. Heeyoung, who tells me he can string sticks while reading at the same time, played lacrosse at El Dorado High School as a FOGO and currently attends Cal Poly, but is exploring other schools at the moment. It's no surprise that his favorite stick is the original Warrior Blade and his favorite player is Alex Smith.
The Gear Zone saw Heeyoung's work — specifically, his Custom Micro Corner pocket — on the Forums, and we reached out to him immediately. He was more than happy to string up a couple of sticks we had sitting around. First, we show you his Syracuse-themed Custom Micro Corner that he strung up in a Warrior Evo Spyne that had been just hanging out, collecting dust.
This pocket features a piece of Micro Mesh, one of the many specialty meshes available at Jimalax, as well as strings from the Arizona-based business. Here's Heeyoung's take on this beauty.
"A Corner Pocket is a type of custom pocket that has qualities of both mesh and customs, such as a traditional or a Rock-it-Pocket," Heeyoung says. "Specifically on this Syracuse inspired pocket, it has qualities of a simple Micro Mesh pocket, along with the hold of a flared custom, such as a Rock-it-Pocket. Micro Mesh on its own is very hard to string. But it gives a very low amount of whip or bite, since the holes of the diamonds are so small. Basically, there's less surface area for the ball to be held in by, as opposed to five- or six-diamond mesh."
"Therefore, it has a very quick release because nothing is in the pocket to snag the ball. In addition, these have qualities of a RP. The twists — made by cross lace — between the mesh and the head, gives a very tight channel. This allows for accuracy and consistency because the ball can only go down the path created by the mesh. Furthermore, when the ball sits in the pocket, the mesh will form to the ball, or wrap around it, giving more hold. Basically, it has a large amount of vertical hold (for one handed cradles), a decent amount of horizontal hold (trade off with quick release) and low whip with a quick release."
Check out the images of Heeyoung's work below, and also be sure to watch the video he put together while stringing this pocket so that you could try your hand at this crazy creation.
If you think your work is good enough to be featured in the Stringers Spotlight, reach out to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to discuss Heeyoung's work in the Stick Doctor's Lounge of the The Lacrosse Forums. And you can see more of Heeyoung's work by finding him on the Forums or click here to visit his personal website. You can also see a lot of his work on his Facebook page. Go there and "Like" it.

With a very active imagination and a taste for the unusual, I try to come up with different points of view in my art, be it on Photography or 3d imaging. Photography allows me to look at the world with different eyes, to search for the details and capture the big picture, so I can show others what I see. I like to experiment with photography, lights, blurs, long exposures, but I all so like nature architecture, sports and music photography. 3d imaging allow me to go further into my imagination, creating more out of the ordinary scenes. Poser has being a great tool for that, allowing me to concentrate on building the scene instead on the 3d modeling, witch I sometimes do. Texturing is a good part of my 3d work as well, bringing a...

MARYVILLE, Tenn.
The University of Tennessee women's cross country team made a strong statement Friday evening, as its first five runners placed among the top 12 finishers, and the Lady Vols opened the 2002 campaign with a resounding victory at the Tennessee Invitational at Lambert Acres Golf Club.
Paced by senior Sharon Dickie, who claimed her second-consecutive Tennessee Invite individual title, the Lady Vols turned in a low score of 31 to comfortably defeat second-place Vanderbilt (60) and third-place UT-Chattanooga (64). Samford took fourth at 119, followed by Georgia State (136), Belmont (144), East Tennessee State (191) and Lipscomb (195).
"It's always good to open with a win," said first-year Tennessee Head Coach J.J. Clark. "It's too early to draw too many conclusions, but clearly we can be a very good team. We have a ways to go, but if we continue to get in better shape and keep everyone healthy, we have the capability to compete when the time comes."
Dickie, a product of Grand Blanc, Mich., won the 2000 title at Lambert
Acres but had to wait an extra year to defend it after last year's meet was
cancelled because of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. She did so in fine
fashion, charting a time of 17:56.60 to notch the fourth-best clocking on
the 5000-meter course by a Lady Vol and hold off UT-Chattanooga's Shannon
Womack, who crossed the line in 18:08.42. Eerily enough on this Friday the
13th, Dickie also extended her streak of finishing as UT's top runner to 13
consecutive meets, dating back to Nov. 23, 1998. Not bad for an athlete
whom Clark considered holding out for the opening weekend.
"We decided mid-week to run Sharon with this being her senior year and final Tennessee Invitational," Clark said. "She really stepped up to the plate today and had a good race. She's trained hard, and this was a nice tempo run for her."
Sophomore Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.) was Tennessee's next finisher, crossing the line in third position at 18:17.02 after a strong charge down the stretch. Also contributing to the scoring total were freshman Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.), who debuted impressively with a fifth-place effort of 18:33.53; junior Erin Anderson (Kent, Ohio), who was 10th at 18:52.74 and sophomore Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.), who completed the course 12th in 19:00.53.
Other orange-clad racers and their outcomes included junior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) in 13th at 19:02.11, freshman Megan Cauble (Knoxville, Tenn.) in 16th at 19:26.18, sophomore Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.) in 23rd at 20:05.76, freshman Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) in 28th at 20:14.89 and senior Amber Ayub (Knoxville, Tenn.) in 49th at 21:45.56.
Mindy Sullivan (Lubbock, Texas), one of the nation's top 800m runners on the track as a prep, used the race as a training run and did not complete the full 5K. Clark is gradually working her into longer distance shape and did not want to push it this early in the season.
"I was really pleased to see everyone being aggressive out there," Clark said. "The freshmen came in and competed strongly, and Felicia ran really well for her first collegiate race. "Brooke displayed some toughness today, and Erin Anderson stepped up big for us, which I was really happy about."
The UT women are back in action on Sept. 21, as they travel to Raleigh, N.C., to take part in the Wolfpack Invitational at 9:10 a.m.

I saw a post about using fiberglass cloth with the resin to shore up the inside of a mask and it seems like its working pretty well. My question is, what if i put it on the outside as well?...
I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
I would assume it would distort all detail.
cool.....i'm a novice at this stuff and i'm glad there's a place with knowledgeable people to ask these kinda questions......
I saw a post the other night implying that fibreglass resin reacts badly with styrene. Is there anyone who has experience of this? (I was thinking of glassing the inside of my vacformed styrene helmet.)
If the styrene's thick enough, you shouldn't have a problem, just don't let the resin pool-up or become too thick anywhere. Thicker areas can build enough heat to soften and deform the plastic.
OK, right, so it's the heat that does the damage rather than a chemical reaction. Thanks, JD.
Eventually, the resin could attack and break-down the styrene, but most likely, the resin will be cured before that would happen. Once the resin is cured, it becomes stable. The reason resin attacks polystyrene is because the solvent in resin is styrene-monomer. I hope this helps clear things up better for you. :)
I think it was Lynn who sprayed that truck lining stuff inside his helmet to strengthen it...
I used epoxy fiberglass to strengthen my styrene backplate.It worked like a charm,and it's rock solid.I had no problems with the heat warping the styrene,or any reaction from the epoxy.Hope this helps.
Thanks, Steve. That's reassuring. (I've since figured out that any warping problems will be insignificant compared to the problems of concealing the cost of the fibreglass resin from my wife!) ;)
Whast would fiberglass do to plaster? also, where did you guys buy the fiberglass? I can't find it anywhere.
Hey DL44 - where could i get that epoxy fiberglass from? store?
a few corrections to make here from my experience in reinforcing.
Fiberglass Resin is what will eat away styrene and plastic slowly.
Casting resin is the solution. It will not eat away plastic.
So what I recommend for helmets is prewetting your fiberglass cloth with resin and laying it down very carefully.
If you have never done either glassing or resin casting I WOULD NOT recommend doing this since it can turn into a nightmare in that case !
Thanks for the advice, GM.
I'll try and source some casting resin and use it to stiffen the joins and the inside of the cheeks. I was wondering what brand of casting resin you recommended so I can look out for some here down under. Phil
tough one this is...its not like you could just get resin at your local store...You might try F/X solutions in Burbank, California...ask for W-65..its a white cast resin.
Thanks GM :thumbsup
I'll see what I can find locally now that I've got a name & number for it. Phil :)
well you see that IS the problem. Every store for some damn reason has its own name for it...just ask for fast casting white resin.
that should do it.
Will do! Thanks again!
"Alumalite" is usually way overpriced, but it's good stuff and you can usually find it at bigger hobby shops- one of my local ones even started carrying gallon buckets of their silicone! :)

By Chris Harris
Andrey Arshavin is not surprised by the return of Thierry Henry and Paul Scholes - but he can't see himself at the top level at the age of 37.
Scholes is just three years shy of his 40th birthday but has come out of retirement to bolster Manchester United's midfield for the title run-in and could line up against Arsenal on Sunday.
Henry is 34 and his participation at Emirates Stadium depends on the results of a fitness test. Either way, Arshavin does not think age has dimmed either man's talents.
"I am not surprised [Scholes and Henry are back], I think it is just a fact of this moment," he told Arsenal Player.
"I think that we should not look at the passport and what age they are, just if they can perform.
"Henry has shown he is a world-class player and a very big player, especially for Arsenal. There is no doubt that he can play."
Arshavin is one of Arsenal's elder statesman but is still seven years younger than Scholes. So can we expect to see him at the top level in 2019?
"There is no chance [of me playing until I'm 37]!" he responded.

Originally a small academic program at a bayside campus in Bristol, the Marine Biology major now boasts not only an outstanding record of hands-on undergraduate education, but an array of public programs such as the thriving Oyster Gardening initiative, partnerships with the New England Aquarium and the Audubon Society of Rhode Island, among others.
The University's facilities have also expanded exponentially. Marine Biology is now housed in the state-of-the-art Marine and Natural Sciences (MNS) Building located just a few hundred yards from Mount Hope Bay. The building is complete with a 3,000-square-foot wet lab, a greenhouse, and a vast array of scientific equipment ranging from plankton nets to a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. RWU is also home to the state's only shellfish hatchery and a recently-opened aquatic diagnostic lab.
As part of the partnership with the New England Aquarium, the University offers an innovative major in Aquaculture and Aquarium Science, providing faculty and student research opportunities both on campus in our renowned tropical marine ornamental program and through the aquarium.
Collaboration between students and faculty has led to numerous articles, publications and presentations. Students are encouraged to join an ongoing research project in areas that include biological oceanography, coastal and wetland studies, marine environmental physiology and marine biotechnology and aquaculture.

O'Neill soft shell jacket / second layer
This hooded jacket from O'Neill is made from "Hyper Fleece fabric" which is a two layer system, shell on the outside and smooth inside, almost fleece like.
O'Neill says: O'Neill Hyperfleece on Vimeo (BTW, I have no affiliation with the company dudes. Just went surfing in Santa Cruz a lot. :P
The durable outer layer offers protection from the cold, making this the perfect spring wind jacket for standing around on the beach rigging up sails or kites. It has a fleece backed hood with elasticated drawstrings, a full zip fastening, three front zipped pockets and an embroidered O'Neill logo, plus a metal brand tab on the hood.
I got the one that is black logos on black. It feels like a wet suit, the material. This thing is pimp! Really keeps the wind out and the warmth in. Clothing and wet suits, thats what a clothing and wet suit company should make, because this is a product that is done right.
Its on the expensive side, but hey, its actually worth it. On those really, really cold winter days where ther is wind as hell when you reach the top in the lift and you are freezing your ass off, this thing really makes a difference. Standing in the wind kite (snow) boarding, this thing really helped much more that just my jacket and 2 layers.
- Quality
- Pimp looks
- Works against wind and cold
- Beads water
- Hood
- Sort of on the expensive side at 100 Euros

J. Mendel Fall 2014
A major Russian presence on the street-style scene has been making the rounds for a number of seasons now. And if the J. Mendel collection is anything to go by—along with Diane von Furstenberg's earlier this week—it's permeating the runway for fall, too. But rather than look to the modern closets of the likes of Vika Gazinskaya, Elena Perminova, or Miroslava Duma, these designers have drawn on the historical imagery of the turn of the century Ballets Russes. And at J. Mendel, the results were graphic, head-turning patterned furs and leathers in vivid, autumnal hues.
"It's a celebration of our artistry," said the designer backstage before the show. "Whether it's Persian lamb or leather—everything shows the workmanship of the house." A calf-length broadtail coat covered in a multicolored plaid opened the show, while black mink boleros, patchwork leather motorcycle vests, and chevron fox jackets followed soon after and paid homage, not only in technique, but also in aesthetic, to Gilles Mendel's own Franco-Russian heritage.
It could be said that, in some respects, Mendel took everything back to basics by bringing the collection's focus round to the tactility and complex techniques on hides and pelts that this house was built on. And although "basic" has a very specific interpretation when it comes to talking about a fur house, for many editors watching the show in Lincoln Center this afternoon, sitting as they were with the remnants of this morning's snowstorm still dripping from their coats and boots, these flocculent cover-ups could perhaps be filed under "baseline essentials" should we have a repeat of this weather come fall.

At PCS we recognise that it is not easy to source printer consumables and to receive the right advice. Printing is an expensive business and one which is also damaging to the environment. The fact is that we all need to print high quality documents despite these previous points. Our aim is to be able to provide you the end customer with the highest quality toner cartridges at the cheapest possible price at no risk, whilst also saving the environment by recycling toner cartridges.
What makes us different from so many other online printer cartridge retailers?
Purchasing your printer cartridges directly from a UK manufacturer ensures that you not only get amazing quality, which is essential, but also guarantees fantastic value as there is no middle-man adding extra cost to you the end user. Our ultimate aim is to supply our customers with cheap toner cartridges whilst maintaining a high level of quality product and customer service.
Printer Cartridge Supplies have 15 years' experience within the toner cartridge industry and is an experienced UK manufacturer. Many online Cartridge Suppliers are simply selling a products manufactured by other companies so they do not have the knowledge and expertise to advise you which product is best and to give you the best value. Should you wish to change your printer we will happily advise you which printers are best at the lowest cost per copy.
The cartridges we manufacture have been produced following extensive in-house development. Only when we have printed 1000's of high quality copies through the full life of a cartridge do we approve cartridges for sale to our customers. We only ever use the highest quality toner to remanufacture our cartridges to give equivalent print quality to original toner cartridges. Prior to dispatching your product it will be fully print tested to ensure that each and every cartridge leaves us in full working order.
Our highly skilled in-house development team are constantly researching which toner cartridges can be developed to bring a compatible product to market before anyone else within the UK.
Everything we sell is covered by our own Manufacturers 12 month warranty. Utilising a remanufactured cartridge will not invalidate your printer warranty despite what your service engineer might say. Additionally, should you have any problem with your cartridge or printer you are able to speak directly with our highly knowledgeable staff who will be able to resolve the majority of printing issues. Should you have an issue with a cartridge from many other online stores you will not be able to speak to the manufacturer directly.
With millions of tonnes of toner cartridges being dumped in land-fill each year it is essential that we all do our bit to prevent this waste and damage to the environment. By purchasing a recycled cartridge manufactured within the UK you are not only reducing your costs but you are directly impacting on the level of waste within the UK. With so many companies and public sector bodies having environmental policies to adhere to, purchasing your high quality toner cartridges from PCS is a very easy way of meeting these policies whilst also saving money.
We have an extensive range of toner cartridges manufactured in-house which include HP toner cartridges, Brother toner cartridges, Canon toner cartridges and Dell toner cartridges to name but a few. Should you not find your product within our range then please contact us as we will either develop your product or let you know which product is compatible with your machine

The way I see it is imagine if all car manufactures decided that they were going to stop making estate estate cars and replace their lines with a new car called a "convertable". This new car would look nicer and have a cool "wind in your hair feel". It would be all nice and shiny and everyone would be jealous.

It's no different to the KDE3/KDE4 situation, the code had gone as far as it could, it was time for a fresh start.
The car analogy is bogus anyway, manufacturers are always replacing cars with new "improved" models, they don't force anyone to buy then. However, if you are prepared to pay enough, I'm sure someone will build you a Morris Marina so you don't have to deal with all this modern and different stuff.

Hi everybody! I've been lurking for some time and have started my build a few weeks ago, hopefully done in time for halloween! I made my chest armor out of paperboard so it won't crease like cardboard would when I go to shape it. I have most if it done and shaped to my liking and was wondering, should i put fiberglass resin on it to strengthen it up and stuff before I paint it? Or should it be fine?
I feel that it is strong enough for my liking but im afraid that the paint will cause it to warp and whatnot. What are your thoughts?

It looks like I'll be starting on my own Fett costume here within the next little while assuming I can sort out purchasing the bucket from a previously spoken with source.
Now to start planing the logstics of the operation.
Well, lets be honest... When it comes to paining this type of stuff I have about as much talent as a dewback. I can paint model cars and stuff but this is a little more complex.
I keep hearing about small Studios that will paint the buckets for a price. What sort of price are we looking at here? Reasonable price? Reasonable time?
I'm still undecided if I'm going to go ESB or ROTJ. I kind of like the ESB Fett as the ROTJ one seems to be a little colorful to me.

My newbie thinking is that your test in the first For loop is
evaluating to False right away.
In the first step i is 4. The question is if 4 is less than or equal
to 1. That is False right away, so that loop ends and does not enter
into the second loop at all.
With the best,

2012 Updates to model-observation comparisons
- Short term (15 years or less) trends in global temperature are not usefully predictable as a function of current forcings. This means you can't use such short periods to 'prove' that global warming has or hasn't stopped, or that we are really cooling despite this being the warmest decade in centuries. We discussed this more extensively here.
- The CMIP3 model simulations were an 'ensemble of opportunity' and vary substantially among themselves with the forcings imposed, the magnitude of the internal variability and of course, the sensitivity. Thus while they do span a large range of possible situations, the average of these simulations is not 'truth'.
- The model simulations use observed forcings up until 2000 (or 2003 in a couple of cases) and use a business-as-usual scenario subsequently (A1B). The models are not tuned to temperature trends pre-2000.
- Differences between the temperature anomaly products is related to: different selections of input data, different methods for assessing urban heating effects, and (most important) different methodologies for estimating temperatures in data-poor regions like the Arctic. GISTEMP assumes that the Arctic is warming as fast as the stations around the Arctic, while HadCRUT4 and NCDC assume the Arctic is warming as fast as the global mean. The former assumption is more in line with the sea ice results and independent measures from buoys and the reanalysis products.
- Model-data comparisons are best when the metric being compared is calculated the same way in both the models and data. In the comparisons here, that isn't quite true (mainly related to spatial coverage), and so this adds a little extra structural uncertainty to any conclusions one might draw.
Given the importance of ENSO to the year to year variability, removing this effect can help reveal the underlying trends. The update to the Foster and Rahmstorf (2011) study using the the latest data (courtesy of Tamino) (and a couple of minor changes to procedure) shows the same continuing trend:
Similarly, Rahmstorf et al. (2012) showed that these adjusted data agree well with the projections of the IPCC 3rd (2001) and 4th (2007) assessment reports.
Ocean Heat Content
Figure 3 is the comparison of the upper level (top 700m) ocean heat content (OHC) changes in the models compared to the latest data from NODC and PMEL (Lyman et al (2010) ,doi). I only plot the models up to 2003 (since I don't have the later output). All curves are baselined to the period 1975-1989.
This comparison is less than ideal for a number of reasons. It doesn't show the structural uncertainty in the models (different models have different changes, and the other GISS model from CMIP3 (GISS-EH) had slightly less heat uptake than the model shown here). Neither can we assess the importance of the apparent reduction in trend in top 700m OHC growth in the 2000s (since we don't have a long time series of the deeper OHC numbers). If the models were to be simply extrapolated, they would lie above the observations, but given the slight reduction in solar, uncertain changes in aerosols or deeper OHC over this period, I am no longer comfortable with such a simple extrapolation. Analysis of the CMIP5 models (which will come at some point!) will be a better apples-to-apples comparison since they go up to 2012 with 'observed' forcings. Nonetheless, the long term trends in the models match those in the data, but the short-term fluctuations are both noisy and imprecise.

"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"I ordered these New Year cards for my photography business. I couldn't have asked for better quality and they arrived faster than I expected. Will definitely order again in the future."
"I really like this card. It was easy to design, and it's very simple yet elegant. The paper quality is very good. I chose the matte finish and it came out great! The reason I gave print quality only 4 stars was because I received 2 envelopes that were printed on with addresses of people I don't even know. That's 2 less envelopes that I can use. Otherwise, I would absolutely order this card again!"
"We ordered our holiday cards late but we found the perfect card to welcome the new year. Might start a new tradition with New Year cards!"

Phoenix Holds Off Davidson, Claims Wildcat Classic Title
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
DAVIDSON, N.C. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team (7-5) continued its winning ways on Saturday night, defeating Davidson 3-2 in the Wildcat Classic finale to claim the tournament title and extend its winning streak to four matches.
The Phoenix, winners of five of the last six, went 3-0 at Belk Arena over the weekend, beating NC Central (3-0) on Friday and High Point (3-0) on Saturday morning before completing the weekend sweep against the Wildcats.
Green Bay grabbed a convincing 2-0 lead over the Davidson to start, but the hosts rallied to tie the match at two sets apiece. The Phoenix was able to hold off the comeback, however, scoring the final four points in the fifth set to secure the 25-11, 32-30, 14-25, 22-25, 15-11 victory and take home the hardware.
"We came out really strong tonight, and after we came back to win set two I felt like we were in position to win in three," Phoenix head coach Debbie Kirch said. "Davidson was not going to let that happen. They played amazing defense and frustrated our hitters. I was really proud of how we responded in set five. It shows how much winning the tournament meant to us."
Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.) earned tournament MVP honors, capping off an outstanding weekend with a season-high 59 assists against the Wildcats. The junior finished with 121 assists in just 10 sets played on the weekend, averaging 12.1 per set. Joining Poel on the All-Tournament Team were teammates Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) and Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.). Van Zeeland had 34 kills and 38 digs in the three matches, while Anderson led the Phoenix with 41 kills.
Anderson led all players with a career-high 22 kills against the Wildcats, hitting .340 for the match. Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) tied her season-high of 18 kills on remarkable .421 hitting percentage, while Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) and Van Zeeland also reached double-figures with 16 and 10 kills, respectively. Overall, the Phoenix out-hit Davidson .234 to .168 in the contest.
Set one was all Phoenix, as the visitors charged out to a 13-1 lead before ultimately cruising to 25-11 win. Green Bay hit an impressive .448 in the opener while holding Wildcats to a hitting percentage of .000. The 14-point win marked Green Bay's largest margin of victory in any set this season.
The second set wasn't as easy, as the Wildcats came back from a five-point deficit (20-15) to tie the match at 23-23. Davidson gave itself five different set-point opportunities down the stretch, but the Phoenix denied each one. Back-to-back kills by Zabkowicz gave Green Bay a set-point chance of its own at 31-30, and Leitermann closed the deal with a kill to give the Phoenix the 2-0 lead.
Davidson came back strong in the next two sets, hitting .429 en route to a 25-14 win the third before holding on for a 25-22 win in the fourth to tie the match at 2-2.
After an even start in the deciding fifth set, the Phoenix found itself tied 10-10 after a kill by Leitermann. The Wildcats evened the score once again at 11-11, but it would be the final point the home team would score as the Phoenix rattled off the next four points to win 15-11 and wrap up the tournament title.
After nine straight matches away from home, the Phoenix returns to the Kress Center next weekend to start its Horizon League schedule. Green Bay welcomes Cleveland State on Friday at 7 p.m. before hosting Youngstown State on Saturday at 4 p.m.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
SCR's mission in addition to saving dogs & puppies and finding them homes is to the education the general public on the need for spay and neutering of their pets. We work with local school districts to educate the younger generation about responsible pet ownership by encouraging participation in events and school activities.
We also work with New England Rescues to help facilitate this process.
Our adoption fee is $400. This includes all vetting (vaccinations, spay/nueter, etc) and transportation to the stop of your choice.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Bacary Sagna is determined to win Arsenal's final game of the season at Emirates Stadium in order to pay back the fans for their unrelenting support.
The Gunners face Norwich on Saturday lunchtime and another victory will take them one step closer to securing third place in the Premier League.
But Sagna says there is a further motivation - to send the supporters home happy after a testing campaign.
"The fans have always been amazing to us, even when we had a bad start to the season they kept pushing us," he told Arsenal Player.
"They kept the belief and we have come back to third because they kept pushing us.
"Even against Milan, when we were four goals down [after the first leg] we came back and managed to score three times - against one of the best teams in Europe - because of the fans.
"[Beating Norwich] will be a way to thank everyone and bring them some happiness. But of course, overall we have to fight for third place and win both of our remaining games."
Sagna has been impressed with Norwich this season, and believes they have real reasons for optimism ahead of next year.
"They have done well. They recently beat Tottenham, and I think it will be a very hard game for us - they will come and try to impress," he said.
"They are staying up, which is good for them, and it means they will be an even better team in the future because they will have more resources to bring in new players."

Feb. 11, 2014
By Brian Rice
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Volleyball has never had a place of its own. Tuesday afternoon, in what is now a parking lot next to Regal Soccer Stadium, the ground was broken to give the program what it has always been missing.
Sure, UT has had home venues. But since moving to Stokely Athletics Center for competition full-time in 1997, the team has had to surrender or share their home court space, both in and out of season. Indoor track season meant early mornings at campus rec facilities for off-season workouts and spring practices. Extra work for players? No space, not an option.
But on Tuesday afternoon, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart, Head Coach Rob Patrick and supporters of the program gathered to break ground on the new Volleyball Practice Facility, a new $3 million home for the program and its student-athletes that will open this fall.
"It's exciting beyond words because it's been two years in the process," Hart said. "People have been very patient, including Rob (Patrick) and our team, and it's very exciting when you finally get to that culmination point where it becomes a real. The student-athlete is why we do what we do, we're a student-athlete centered athletics program, so any time we can bring a new facility online, it's a tangible commitment to the student-athletes and to what we're trying to accomplish."
For Patrick, who is Tennessee's second-longest tenured head coach, having been at UT since 1997, the new facility is the realization of a long-held dream for a permanent home.
"This is something that has been in the works for a long while and I really appreciate the administration really working very hard over a long period of time to get this done," Patrick said. "It's for the players, they have a place to call home. They can own an area and really call it home, that's the thing I'm really excited about."
Volleyball matches moved to Thompson-Boling Arena in 2008, but the program was still able to utilize Stokely as a practice home during the fall until 2012. With the building under redevelopment, the team had to split practice time between Pratt Pavilion, Thompson-Boling and other sites, working around the schedules of other programs and events.
"It'll be nice to have something that's our own," freshman Kayleigh Moody said after wielding a shovel to help in the groundbreaking. "Just to have one solid, concrete place is going to be exciting."
Patrick, who has twice been named National Coach of the Year and has a pair of SEC Championships, a Final Four appearance in 2005 and seven NCAA Tournament selections, is proud of what his teams have accomplished in spite of the lack of a volleyball-only facility. Now, he looks to take the program to the next level.
"It's going to make a difference in recruiting, it's going to make a difference in the way we are able to train," Patrick said. "I can't thank the players that came before for the obstacles they had to overcome and still be able to be successful. I'm excited about the facility and the difference that it's going to make in the future of Tennessee Volleyball."
And Patrick has his sales pitch all ready to go for the next generation of Tennessee student-athletes that come in to see what UT is building: Stay quiet.
"The sales pitch is going to become pretty self-explanatory when they come in and take a look at it," he said.
