The Leica MP-6
Camera Geekery /
by Bellamy /3 min read
The Leica MP-6
The Leica MP was the pinnacle of Leica's production capabilities and back in 2003 the classic camera was re-released for the discerning Leica photographer. A few special models were made and the MP-6 was one of them. And now I have one.
In 2003 Leica made the decision to bring back the classic Leica MP. The original MP was made in very limited numbers and now command incredibly high prices, making them way out of the range of anyone other than serious collectors. There are also plenty of fakes out there. But what about the regular people who want to shoot a beautifully made Leica camera but don't want to sell their children into slavery? Well this is where the new version of the MP came in.
Beautifully made with either black paint or chrome versions they had an upgraded finder with a brighter rangefinder patch and a beautiful finish. A lot of the basic design of the camera harks back to the classic Leica's of the past. The basic version of the camera comes with a 'shark skin' vulcanite and a simple Leica script on the top plate. But this is not a basic Mp, oh no, this one is the MP-6.
The MP-6 was made for the Japanese market only. It was basically the same as a regular MP, but it comes with the classic vulcanite leather found on the older Leica cameras, a Leica Camera AG Germany engraving on the top plate and on some of the later models an M6 iso selector. Although 400 were supposed to be made, poor demand meant that only around 250 made it out onto the market. I have hear rumours that there were about 10 of these made in chrome, but I have never seen one and I don't know anyone who has.
These simple cosmetic differences may not sounds like much, but they really make a difference and are instantly noticeable. They set the camera apart from the regular MP.
There is no doubt that this is a stunningly beautiful camera, but it is still a camera. This is not one of my sale cameras, I actually bought this as my personal camera. Now now, I know I said that the M6 is the best camera that Leica made, and I still stand by that. The M6 is an outstanding camera for the money and gives entry level access to the world of Leica. But, I feel it is my duty as JapanCameraHunter to showcase what I can get, and I had the opportunity to have one of these incredible cameras, so I took it.
I have also come in for a bit of flak from people asking me why I am using this camera and not putting it in a box where it belongs. This is a camera and it needs to be used. I know it is a collectors item to some, but there are others out there that can be used for that. I want to use mine and use it for years. I want it to wear and brass, gain some character and show that it really belongs to me. It is a personal extension of my eye and I will use it until I can no longer use it.
I love this camera, it is extraordinarily capable and very easy to use, and it also looks stunning. It feels like I have a precision instrument in my hand and that makes me happy. I love the grip, the shape and the colour of the camera.
There are other MP-6's out there and I know where a few of them are. If you would like one then let me know and I will find one for you, but be warned, they are not cheap, not at all. But then, a piece of Leica history wouldn't be, would it?

Actually looks better than the regular MP…
Yes, yes! Use the camera! Never mind the rarity, or the value, there are simply too many Leica lookers, when they should be users. It's great that you are out there on the street with your beautiful M6-p, where it should be. Not in a display case…
yes, use it. That´s the leica is made for. even the ORIGINAL MP, until some of the owners were too old to do that or were deceased. Then the MP just went astronomical. If I would still have mine, I would just do the same…
This camera is a beauty! The vulcanite leather fits perfectly and looks much better than the shark skin of the new mp.
I would love to have one of these but I'm very happy with my M6 classic.
Have a lot of fun with this masterpiece, jch!
Yes it is a beauty. Enjoy it, use it. brass it.
beautiful camera! use it, it is what it is made for. Enjoy every moment
Decide if you're a photographer or a curator and use your cameras accordingly.
Great camera! How can you tell a fake from a real Leica? Any tell tale signs to look out for?
Nice choice Bellamy.. Great review too. :-)
Hi Bellamy, what hood is the one you use here with the 35/ 2 asph?
A really beautiful camera! there is one on the way to me !Can't waiting。。。
would like to have a hunt in the street with a MP-6 with exact same lens.
could you find me the same pack ?
Yes, I can.
Please send a request through the find me a camera page.

My Mother's Rice
My mother was born in Russia but for her middle years till she got married she lived in Persia and was influenced by the cooking there. Some of her cooking has a strong Persian influence. Growing up one of our favorite side dishes was her rice with raisins. It's a very simple way to add some excitement to plain old white rice.
Make your rice as you would usually do. For this post all I had was Jasmine rice so that's what I used. After your rice is cooked, saute 1/2 cup of raisins and 1/3 cup of slivered almonds in a generous portion of butter (You can increase the amount of raisins and almonds according to taste or the amount of rice you are cooking). The rice will love the extra butter so don't worry if it looks like a lot. When the raisins get all nice and plump add the raisins and almonds to the rice with all the butter and stir it in. My mother sometimes puts this mixture in the oven at this point for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees before she serves it. I usually just serve it right away. Enjoy!

This sounds delicious!!ReplyDelete
sounds yummy!ReplyDelete
That looks so good! I may have to go to the store & buy some almonds now.....ReplyDelete
Another delicious way to enjoy rice..ReplyDelete
That's nice. And what I really like is the simplicity. Be great as a side for a night during the work week when one doesn't have the time or energy to spend on supper. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
This sounds great Ellen, it would taste good as a side dish to pork or ham.ReplyDelete
This is similar to a Lebanese special occasion rice, we add half of the nuts in and the other half to decorate the platter.ReplyDelete
Love it
Yummmm! I like it already...and haven't even tried it yet.ReplyDelete
Got to LOVE that Persian Influence! Great recipe Ellen!ReplyDelete
Ohh, thank you, Ellen. I'm surely going to try this...I love rice and raisons and almonds. Why not all together ?? It sounds/looks sooo good.ReplyDelete
Ellen, this really looks good. I love rice dishes, and like having a new side dish to try. Thanks KathyReplyDelete
This recipe has been printed and put on the kitchen counter..ready for a try! Your mom has gifted you with so many riches!!ReplyDelete
I am soooo doing this; will be especially good with the leftover white rice we bring home from the Chinese restaurant. I cannot wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing this delicious idea.ReplyDelete
This looks very good. My grandmother was from Russia, but I never lived near her when I was growing up. I may have to try this just to get a taste of my "roots".ReplyDelete

Elk tags are either a general Zone A or B tag or a controlled hunt tag. If a controlled hunt tag, the tag can only be used for controlled hunt unit and season of the controlled hunt.
General elk zone tags (A or B) can only be used for the zone and seasons they were intended for. However, if you have a A tag, generally used for archery in a zone, there may be other opportunities for that Zone A tag for a spike season or late muzzle loader season. Please check the Big Game brochure for the zone and type elk tag you have. And remember, most Elk Zones consist of several units. The Brochure will tell you what, where, and when that tag is valid.

Here at Dogster, there's always talk of the importance of point of view — how, without standing up and championing something, a publication fails to stand for anything at all.
Given this, I am often asked what our point of view is, and usually, it's not simple to articulate. Not because we have no point of view at Dogster and Catster; quite the contrary. At Dogster HQ, we are fiercely opinionated when it comes to dog and cat issues, so it's difficult to just pick one and say "There, that's what we stand for," and call it a day. To illustrate this, I presented the slide you see below at a recent company presentation. I didn't expect anybody to actually read the entire thing as I raced through my slides. It really was just to make my point.
This doesn't come close to addressing Dogster's stand on every last dog and cat issue out there; nor does it get us closer to a definitive point of view when it's lumped together like this. But it did help us to brainstorm and distill our thoughts into five messages we feel are important. So the next time someone asks you what those crazy kids at Dogster HQ believe, you'll have the answer in five easy bullet points. This is the long-winded edition, so bear with me.
A little backstory on this one: When I joined the Dogster staff three years ago, the first thing I did was bring journalist Maria Goodavage on board to run our For the Love of Dog blog (which has since been rolled into Dogster Magazine). Within her first month on the job, she e-mailed asking if it was okay if she referred to dogs as "whos" in her pieces, since she wasn't comfortable calling them "that" or "it." I told her it was funny she mentioned it because I had run into that same wall while writing my own pieces and very much preferred "who" as well.
Long story short, an editorial guideline was born. And while we haven't been all wild and flashy about this particular point of view, it's the undercurrent in every story you'll read on the site. Are we saying dogs are people? Maybe not exactly, but you can't deny they are sentient individuals with distinct personalities, no?
Puppy mills are hell on earth, make no mistake about it. We would love to see every last one shut down and the only way that's going to happen is if people stop patronizing them whether they mean to or not.
Too often I meet otherwise intelligent people who tell me they "rescued" their dog from a pet store. And before you say it, I'm not talking adoption walls/fairs/events at said pet store. Whole different beast altogether. In the beginning, I would get incredibly worked up and give these folks my judgmental glare of pure horror (TM) and a piece of my mind, but these days I realize it won't help the situation. At this point the deed is done and these people have likely already learned the hard way about what a puppy mill or backyard breeder is.
Our stand here at Dogster is to educate rather than bully people about their choices when it comes to where they get their next dog. So you can expect to see more articles like "This is What a Puppy Mill Dog Looks Like" and "Meet Rosie, the Poster Pup for Backyard Breeding" on the site — and we hope you'll share them as we run them, because we feel these are important stories to tell.
Maybe if we tell enough of them, it'll make a dent, however small, in the sick statistics: At a Petfinder talk I attended last month, founder Betsy Saul estimated that 40 percent of pets in the U.S. today are from mills. That makes my stomach turn.
Adoption is woven into Dogster's DNA. We have an entire section of the site featuring listings of precious pups waiting for their forever homes. So, yes, we are completely behind the adoption message. Some of our favorite people run some of the most amazing, inspiring rescues we know. But just because we love adoption and frequently champion it in our articles doesn't mean we are instantly vehemently anti-breeder. We are staunchly anti-irresponsible breeder, it's true, but we also support those who have dedicated their lives to the betterment of the particular breeds who have won their hearts.
At the last Blogpaws conference, I ran into a woman with the most beautiful Italian Greyhound and asked her whether he was a champion. She actually looked over her shoulder before answering me in hushed tones that indeed he was, before quickly going into a spiel about how she'd had rescued dogs before, and how this was a breed she had intensely researched before connecting with a highly reputable breeder, and so on and so forth.
I was saddened that she felt she had to go on the defense to justify owning a perfectly healthy, well-adjusted, and well-bred dog, but being shamed in public for owning a purebred (even one from a responsible breeder) is pretty common. Enough with the shaming, people — it's not helping anybody get anywhere fast.
I always get that Gandhi quote in my head when we report on the atrocities humans inflict upon animals.
This one: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." We at Dogster believe we have a long way to go as a society based on this alone.
Dogster's editorial program is a work in progress, and one of the things we're trying to do daily between the cute posts, opinion items, and dog news is provide readers with solid advice from experts and experienced pet parents alike. We know our readers encompass everybody, from beginners to seasoned pet pros, and our mission is to have items of interest to both the enthusiast and the novice.
Dr. Eric Barchas has been keeping his "Ask a Vet" column going strong (he was Dogster's very first blogger years ago!), as has marvelous trainer Casey Lomonaco, whose column runs every Tuesday. And most days of the week, we have guest writers and regulars talking about everything from alternatives to the cone of shame to the advice they wish someone had given them when they first brought a dog home.
Anyway, there you have it. These are our values here at Dogster, naked as a newborn puppy. Now we'd love to hear what your values are when it comes to your dogs or cats, or pets in general.

Hi Folks.
If anyone's been following the story of the Castle Document........ http://theoldric.com/topic/1890/Secret-Orders-Issued-Military-Officers-Castle-Document
Some interesting stuff about a central figure will be posted here.
A short intro.
I've always been into world history but in recent years have focused on learning 1912-1923 Irish history.
A few recent books mentioned something new to me – "the Castle Document"; and named a mysterious "Mr. Smith" as the source.
Sounded like an Irish joke.
I'd filed that away with a long list of items and events to be followed up. Some year.
But in Feb 2014 a post by forum member caplestreetman, CSM, our favourite cloak-and-dagger fan, resulted in contact from a grandson of the 1916 spy in the Castle.
The grandson told of some intriguing family connections.
I got hauled in and firmly hooked – and thereby hangs this tale.
To be continued......

Wealthy Parisian couples looking forward to an elegant, expensive and naughty New Year's Eve – €620 for caviar, lobster and wife-swapping – may have to think again. Les Chandelles, the most exclusive of the wife-swapping clubs in the French capital, is under investigation for allegedly allowing prostitutes to operate on its premises.
The city's police chief must decide in the next couple of days whether to permit the club's New Year's Eve party, entitled "a thousand and one follies", to go ahead.
Les Chandelles - or the candles - has a reputation as the most snobbish "boite echangiste" or wife-swapping club in Paris. To be admitted to the glittering premises in the heart of the city between the Opera and the Louvre, you have to be wealthy, famous or good-looking and preferably all three.
Clients are reported to have included the former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn and other members of the political and media elite.
The restaurant and bar have the elegant look, and quality, of a five-star hotel. Guests who wish to do so can move on to the "libertine" activities - partner-swapping or group sex - in the lounge and private rooms next door.
It is now alleged that some of the female "guests" at Les Chandelles are not what they appear. An investigation by the Paris vice squad has concluded that the club is a haunt of high-class prostitutes. Three people, including a former professional footballer, Alim Ben Mabrouk, 51, have been placed under formal investigation on allegations of "highly organised pimping".
A police report completed this week recommends that the club should be shut down, at least temporarily. Its proprietor, 44 year-old Valérie Hervo, known as "Madame Valérie", has been questioned by police but she is not among those who face charges at this stage. "I have nothing to say, only that my establishment has nothing to do with this affair," she told the French magazine VSD.
Wife-swapping clubs have become an accepted part of Parisian night-life in the last 30 years. Over 50 establishments are listed in entertainment guides. Les Chandelles is among the oldest and by far the most exclusive.
The club's web-site says that it offers "all the refinements of sensuality, gentle, tender, playful and intense". Female guests, the site claims, are "sublime, glamorous and unsettling beauties of the night". They are accompanied by "irresistible princes, both gentlemanly and sexy".
Guests must be well-dressed, even if they do not plan to remain dressed for very long. "Les Chandelles despises flat shoes, trainers and sportswear," the site warns. "Also short-sleeved shirts and white socks."
"Above all, Les Chandelles does not have any time for vulgarity, lack of respect or small-mindedness," the site says. In practice, this is said to mean that the non-rich, non-famous and not-especially good-looking need not apply for entry.
Although single men and women are admitted to some events, the club is mostly reserved for couples. A lengthy police investigation concluded, however, that some of the apparent couples were not what they seemed. Le Monde quoted one police officer as asking: "How could the club not have known that it was being frequented by prostitutes?"Reuse content

Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand have their first catfight
Geri Halliwell
Since meeting at rehearsals for the Olympic closing ceremony, it seems like things have moved very fast for Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand.
Lately the pair have been inseparable, enjoying romantic dates on Hampstead Heath and late night sleepovers.
Reportedly bonding over their shared love of yoga and spirituality, on Wednesday night the British comedian was spotted leaving Geri's home with a bag bursting full of books and DVDs.
But as compatible as they are, they've come across their first romantic speed bump as a chance meeting between their pets went horribly wrong.
Russell's beloved cat Morrissey wasn't best pleased to see the Spice Girl's dogs Daddy and William and the claws came out.
The 40-year-old brought her beloved dogs over to Russell's house, but it seems that she wasn't anticipating a catfight to ensue.
A source told The Mirror: "It was important to Geri that her dogs met Russell because any new man in her life first has to impress them.
"Sadly, while they took to Russ, Morrissey had other ideas.
"He eyeballed the hairy beasts the minute they trespassed into his territory, taking an instant dislike to them, especially Daddy.
"He hissed and clawed at him and even attempted to bite him so in the end Russ and Geri had to put them in separate rooms."
It seems that Geri was keen to see if Russell passed the dog test, as the singer's pooches intuitively took a dislike to her ex Henry Beckwith - with puppy William reportedly leaving poo outside his bedroom.
Meanwhile Russell shared his love of cats with his ex-wife Katy Perry, and the pair shared a cat called Krusty, in addition to Morrissey and the Fireworks singer's own moggy Katy Purry.
The source went on: "Russ and Geri keep finding more and more in common the more time they spend together.
"They both love yoga and are spiritual people, and they both ditched booze.
"Sadly, their pets didn't quite share the same connection."
Dog people and cat people are notoriously incompatible, so only time will tell whether the lovebirds and their respective pets will be able find some common ground.

Our love for music and the permanent search of "clean" and "crystal" sound led us to the beginning of the 80's to experimentations which led us to the creation of our first loudspeakers.
The realization... Our Hobby through years of effort and permanent search for clean sound became part of our life and our work. The knowledge that acquired with all these years of experiments as well as with intense study had to be shared with all the friends of music. The beginning of 90s' found us completely prepared to manufacture loudspeakers and audio furniture of high quality.
Our appearance in the Greek market came with the creation and presentation of our first completed loudspeaker line in 1999.That year we where ready to participate for first time in the "High end show of Thessaloniki" while simultaneous samples of our work were presented in the Hi fi press and audio forums where they extracted also exceptional reviews.
The resent past... In 2006 after continuous research and study Mythos presents a completely upgraded range of speakers and furniture that (as their predecessors) gain the looks with the simplicity and the dynamism that impose their frugal lines. In May 2006, Mythos opened a door in the world of friends of music, with the first attendance in international show in the "High End Show of Munich" in Germany.
The facilities... In our completely organized and equipped facilities each speaker and furniture is manufactured, assembled and is dyed in the hand by the experienced personnel and passes from technical and qualitative control. Thus we are sure that all Mythos Audio "children" reach in the hands of purchaser without the least fault.
In our show room, where you can us visit daily, the demonstration rooms have been shaped in such a way that you hear music feeling the warmth and the calm that only your personal space offers to you.
Aftersales... Our relation with the customers does never stop. We are next to our customers in order to help them whatever they need, we give any advice as long as it concerns the sound and our products as well as we discuss with them for technical and not subjects. All of our products have our permanent care and are completely upgradable of future changes.
Welcome to the world of Mythos audio! Seat comfortably and enjoy music!

Yet another issue - M60
I only experience this minor issue when the car is cold. I crank and it idles fine but when I put it in gear and start to move it starts stumbling but not to the point where it's gonna stall, just about to 500rpm (idle afaik is 650) it only happens when I first move it, doesn't happen after that until I have another cold start (sorry if it doesn't make that much sense)
I think I have a vacuum leak coming from one of the intake gaskets because they're old and have never been changed. What else could it be?
Then spray carb cleaner at all intake and vacuum ports and see and redo the test to see if the engine behaves better.
Inspect everything in your intake that you can get your hands on without major disassembly, such are the main air hose. Make sure connections are tightened.
I doubt rubber gaskets expand when heated. They are not made of metal.
Your cold start problems could well be a defective crankshaft sensor. The resistance when cold could be falling outside its rated specs. Check the resistances, when cold, and when hot, and anyway, you know the drill sir, if you intend to keep the car and haven't changed it out in the past few years, do so to avoid the inevitable no-start situation.
Rubber expands when it is heated.
Anyways, I can't replicate it any other way. It only happens when there is stress from the driveline on the motor ie. shifting into gear and starting to move. It can't be the CPS because the engine still starts no problem and idles fine. I also think it might be the ICV gasket. It looks like it's not sitting properly in it's space.
I've read more than one article that suggests that rubber shrinks when heated.
So i would treat that theory with caution.
Clearly too, gaskets not sitting properly, or being too old and brittle, can only lead to trouble eventually. The ICV gasket really screws with idling and the engine when its not fixed properly, so you're probably spot on there.
The difficulties occuring while shifting, and when cold, invoke the possibility of low tranny fluid. Tranny fluid expands when heated and may be too low when cold.
Thirdly, you might want to clean your throttle position sensor and its switch, with contact cleaner, and then apply dielectric grease before fixing it back. That can occasionally cause problems as well.
Are there any relevant error codes ?
More basics for you bobby.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion
Also consider that the metals that are seperated by the gasket expand, sealing gaps. This really is quite common bobby.

To quote " The properties of elastomers are remarkable and very different to almost any other solids. For example, ideal rubber does not expand when heated. In fact, loaded rubber will actually contract if heat is applied. "
Applying a layman's "things expand when heated" understanding is quite clearly unsafe when it comes to elastomers, which react differently to changes in entropy from undisordered solids.
Your point that metal expands when heated is well taken and I'm sure the op took note of it accordingly. I didn't refer to it simply because it had nothing to do with my points about rubber and so was not directly relevant to your response to that.
Aside from that, metal expands when heated, but usually extremely little....unlikely to cover up a hole sizable enough to cause the problems the op has mentioned.
Op, please check everything, tighten everything, inspect everything for cracks, maybe even look in the air box, etc. I think you need to check everything from scratch...wouldn't take you more than 15 minutes. And clean out that tps (throttle position sensor), it could be responsible. I assume you don't have any useful error codes. I don't think its your intake manifold gaskets, they usually stay put and stay that way unless you have done something in that area recently. Unmetered air usually does not lead to near-stall situations, just poor running, fuel economy and poor idling, maybe o2 sensor codes as well.
Double check that you don't have any leaks from your transmission. Double check your cps's resistance when cold. I've cable tied my cps connection to the oil dipstick to make it easy to access for any reason, I suggest you do the same for as long as its not a new unit in there.
Lets wait to hear back from him after this weekend (hopefully).
MY posts are being deleted yet advice like this is allowed to stand?
It is COMMON knowledge that expansion and contraction of engine parts causes leaks that cause running issues.
Since my last response was removed, even though it contained further advice for the OP, actual good advice, I will try once again.
Check the coolant temp sensor at the back of the engine, in the crossover tube. It could cause a cold/hot drivability issue, and is reportedly a common failure.
Actually, the post that was removed was not flagged by me. In fact, it was very mild, by your standards.
Bimmerfest does not remove posts for bad advice. Their acceptable use policy makes no reference to this.
I'm driving a 20 year old and I've never heard of a situation that expansion and contraction of engine parts leads to running issues, at least not in a general sense. I've never seen it on these forums either, except for one member's case which my mechanic suggested could be a head gasket issue. He had a cold start problem, which disappeared when the engine warmed up. The head gasket could expand and fix this.
So its certainly not common snowsled7 and therefore it is unlikely to be common knowledge either. That being said, I just came back from an.....intervention, shall we say, where the problem concerned (the story is too long) was traced to a buggy coolant temperature sensor. It caused major engine problems and emptied half the gas tank by the time we figured it out (we had many red herrings to work through). So snowsled may well be right about that.
OP, the way to check it is to disconnect the sensor he refers to and start the car and drive off when its cold and see if the problem recurs. If it doesn't, then its the problem, change that out and you're done. If the problem recurs then its something else, reconnect the sensor and delete the error code that disconnecting it would have generated.
-Finished testing-
No vacuum leaks
ECT fine
O2 sensor works
Now I don't know where else to look.
If this solves the problems, then you'll just have to replace the coolant temp sensor.
Oh and of course, please do the stomp test if it works on your car and see if there are any useful error codes there.
OP. we'll hold you to your promise to update your thread. Too many people fail to do that after posting an interesting issue that invites contributions. :)
Check voltage of the car running and when It's off. A healthy battery should be somewhere around 12.6 dead I think 12.1. Running should be around 14.4, I havnt checked my car but i would be worried with anything lower than 13.5 volts.
And it is common sense that when heat is applied molecules expand, air metal, and yes rubber, expand with heat.
HSW "Expansion"
I've seen low voltage cause many running issues. When the car is cold its obviously been sitting for awhile without the battery being charged by the alternator. When It's warm It's the exact opposite. The Car os Either charging or has residual voltage in the system.
So that's why it would happen when It's cold. And yes with low voltage everything is starved for power. You can have such a weak spark that It's actually off timing.
And after thinking about yeah rubber shrinks with heat. Like shrink wraping lol. But most gaskets aren't rubber.
My M60 didn't do that but it was moody when cold too. I put royal purple 20w-50 in it, dinan chip, New o2 sensors, and replaced the resonator with an X-pipe and it was much happier in general and especially when cold. I also did a tune up and changed the fuel filter and added a K&N stock replacement filter. It ran like night and day after all these changes. Just make sure the throttle body is clean and your intake snorkel doesn't have a hole in it. Also check your throttle position sensor.
All those changes should fix the issue, each of them decrease the work and load on the engine. But it almost sounds like an intake leak. Smoke tested?
Sent from my PH44100 using Bimmer App
I think I figured out my problem by accident today lol. I was playing around with my ICV and I noticed the little rubber boot going into the intake manifold wasn't seated properly. I took it out and properly put it back together and voila already better response and no hesitation. Hopefully this is the fix. Not too sure because I haven't experienced a cold start yet. That will be left for tomorrow morning.
Glad you found the issue Costa. :)

LEBANON -- Graveside funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Wilson County Memorial Gardens for Mrs. Martin, 94, of Lebanon.
Known as Dot to her family and friends, she died Thursday, Oct. 20, 2011, at Elmcroft.
Born Oct. 21, 1917 in the Tuckers Cross Roads Community, she was the daughter of the late Earl Carson Goodall and Ada Purnell Goodall.
Mrs. began her teaching career in a one room school house in 1935 and married Paul J. Martin on Aug. 17, 1943.
She then became a stay-at-home wife and mother, started a pre-school and later returned to the classroom teaching fourth grade at Highland Heights Elementary in Lebanon until her retirement in 1980.
She loved all of her school children, playing bridge, baking, and after retiring -- her flower garden. Mrs. Martin was an active member of the Wilson County Retired Teachers and of College Hills Church of Christ until she became ill.
Visitation will be Friday between the hours of 3 8 p.m. at the Ligon & Bobo Funeral Home.
Services will be conducted by Dr. Larry Locke and Bro. Kenneth Head.
Survivors include: children Mike Martin and John Martin both of Lebanon and Pat (Billy) Fitts of Hendersonville.
Also surviving is granddaughter Renee (Greg) Hardwick and great granddaughter Kelsey Hardwick -- all of Hendersonville; siblings Ann Paty and Walter (Zuellma) Goodall all of Lebanon and Jack (Peggy) Goodall of Hartsville.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Paul J. Martin in 1980; two sisters, Martha Bobo and Era Earl Denton; and one brother, Will Edward Goodall.
Pallbearers will include: Greg Hardwick, Bill Bobo, Charles Edward Bobo, Bobby Denton, Bill Doak and Cliff Cozart.
The family would like to thank the staff at Elmcroft Heartland Village for the loving care given Ms. Dot these last two years.

Paying Your Dues
So you're thinking about higher education. You've taken the GRE, you know where you want to go, you've prayed about it ... but there's still an obstacle in your way: money. Though there are plenty of opportunities for aid, loans and scholarships, finding them all can be daunting. Where to begin? And has the rough economy impacted financial aid availability?
"At the graduate level, there's been no change," says David Richards, director of student financial services at Fuller Theological Seminary. "Student loans are still readily available, as are monies for the work-study programs. This year, schools moved away from a private, lender-based student loan system to one where the Department of Education provides all the student loans as direct loans. With that, it's all about accreditation—as long as a private university, religious or not, is accredited by an approved accreditation agency, they can get approved to offer federal aid."
Richards also has reassuring words for those who might be concerned that their "less than perfect" credit might hinder their chances for financial aid.
"As long as a school is accredited, students just need to apply and complete the paperwork on time. That's the biggest issue—folks just need to follow up with their applications," Richards says. "They're not based on your credit—one program is based on credit, but most are not. As long as you're going to be half-time and enrolled in a program, you're going to qualify for a student loan."
Credit's effect on loans
However, Michelle Morzov—the director of graduate student financial services at Azusa Pacific University—says that while Federal Stafford Loans are safe because they are guaranteed regardless of students' economic or credit backgrounds, there has been a negative impact on credit-based loans such as the Graduate PLUS loan.
"Those loans require a credit check, and as the economy has worsened, for some students we have noticed that it may be harder for them to receive this loan than in years past, due to their individual situations," Morzov says. "But we are committed in graduate student financial services to ensure that each student has the options they need to finance their education, and we are dedicated to walking them through that step by step. Specific departments often have their own grants and aid programs, and even have loan forgiveness for those who qualify."
Among the suggestions Morzov has for those with credit worries is to get a co-signer for their loan. Another option is to take a few months off from school to improve credit during that period, and then reapply with a better credit rating. But regardless of credit history, she points out that students can borrow up to $20,500 per year in Stafford Loans, which is usually enough to cover tuition and other costs.
There is often additional help for students on a private level, aside from government loans. For instance, Richards notes that Fuller offers nearly $5 million in grants, scholarships and fellowships to its students each year, based on either academic achievement or financial need. Programs like Fuller's The Great Commission are often available for students seeking creative aid.
"The Great Commission is for students who want to serve overseas in some sort of a nonprofit ministry capacity," Richards says. "We provide a $10,000 scholarship in the second year of our program. Once they graduate and go overseas to do ministry work, we provide another $10,000 to repay any loans they might have. That's really letting folks pursue their calling earlier than they might have without that assistance. There's six or seven students a year selected for that process, but we'd like to expand that program out to other students also."
Such ministry- or career-related aid is often available at universities and seminaries. For example, students studying theology at APU can receive some funding by working in ministries throughout their educational experience. APU also teams up with the Kern Foundation, which gives scholarship funds to Master of Divinity students who will be working full-time in ministry upon completion of their degrees.
Availability of aid
Of course, federal work-study programs have long been a staple of student aid. The distribution, however, has always been limited by the amount of funds available at a given time.
Both Richards and Morzov recommend students also look for regular part-time jobs that aren't work-study on their campus, or seek work full-time at the school they're attending.
While working full-time would likely extend the amount of time it takes to complete their studies, such students often receive significant tuition reductions—possibly even a full ride—if they work for their institution.
Depending on a student's denomination, additional help may be available from particular churches.
"There's quite a few church aid groups, and many are denominationally based," Richards says. "They may have scholarships and fellowships for students from different-sized churches going into missionary or development services. Besides denominational headquarters, students should also look at their own home churches.
"The denomination might have their own overarching scholarship programs. Many times people will support them or create a scholarship for them, but they have to ask to put it together," he continues. "There's also the Fund for Theological Education. They have a list of scholarships for seminary students, and then they also offer their own fellowships to Master of Divinity students."
Ultimately, what might help you most if you're searching for funds is a combination of creativity and plain, old-fashioned common sense.
"Students shouldn't be afraid to think outside the box for their funding—for instance, by asking someone to buy their books for a semester or quarter," Richards says. "Another thing is, look for any scholarship for which they think they might qualify, even if it's on the back of a cereal box. I say, go ahead and apply because it's always good to get free money. The last thing I would say is plan ahead financially, and talk to your aid office because we're here not only to fund their education, but to prepare them for working in the Kingdom in the future."

Exploring the life and the legacy of Emilie Blackmore Stapp (1876-1962). The Friends of the Stone County Libraries will present a public program exploring the life and the legacy of Emilie Blackmore Stapp (1876-1962), an American children's author and philanthropist whose writing career spanned more than 50 years. She was born in Madison, IN, and died in Wiggins, MS, where she is buried.
Stapp published her first book, Bread and Lasses: Sketches of Child Life, in 1902 and went on to publish a number of other written works. In 1913 she founded the Go-Hawks Happy Tribe, a national philanthropic organization for boys and girls similar to today's Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. It eventually grew to more than 800,000 members in the U.S. and England. Rudyard Kipling became the Big Chief of the Go-Hawks Happy Tribe in England.
Stapp's family moved from Indiana to Des Moines, Iowa, where she became an editor for the Des Moines Capital. During her time in Iowa, she mobilized the Go-Hawks to raise $43,000 in pennies to feed widows and orphans of World War I in Europe.
Stapp later served as children's editor with the Houghton Mifflin Company in Boston. During this time she formed The World Neighborhood Club in collaboration with the Red Cross to establish relationships and befriend children of different countries and to create libraries throughout the world where children could learn English.
In 1952, she moved with her sister to Wiggins, MS, for her health. They lived on 80 acres of land they named Friendship Farm. In 1932 they deeded 12 acres of land and a club house to the Women's Club of Wiggins, and with a donation of more than 4,000 books, they established the first lending library in Stone County. They also built a new post office for the city of Wiggins. During World War II, Stapp raised $42 million in today's value for war bonds.
No cost.

Effects Of Alcohol: Lessons From Football
However from a fitness coach's perspective I'm more concerned with the physical effects detrimental to the performance of that individual. I have been in situations with players when we have enjoyed a nice meal and had a few drinks, and we may get a bit merry. However it's done at the appropriate time, either to celebrate a success or when the schedule permits. So by saying that, I'm not one to spy on players and report back to the manger if I know players are enjoying themselves! All you can do is recommend to them that make the right choices, be professional and assure that they're prepared to work once we're back onto the training ground.
What are the short-term effects of alcohol on physical performance?Some of the typical effects of too much alcohol include: a decreased attention span, a lack of balance, sleep disturbance and dehydration. In terms of mental effects, alcohol inhibits the ability to make sound judgments and affects concentration and focus. Sleep disturbance can be detrimental to an athlete's performance as the athlete will feel tired and will struggle to maintain energy levels and focus.
Dehydration can contribute to several issues which may have a negative effect on physical performance; these include a build-up of waste products, such as lactic acid, thickening of the blood, impaired homeostasis (this affects the body's ability to control its temperature) and a slower rate of absorption (this means nutrients take longer to reach the muscles). Agility and balance are also affected by alcohol.
What are the long-term effects of alcohol on physical performance?In the long-term, alcohol consumption can lead to dependence which can impact on an athlete's work and social life. Famous examples of alcohol abuse in recent history would be Paul McGrath and Paul Gascoigne, two fantastically talented footballers who utilised alcohol as a way to deflect the stresses of football. In today's era, binge drinking to this excess simply will not be tolerated by a football club.
Performance will almost certainly decrease significantly if an athlete drinks over a prolonged period of time; the body is not capable to perform at optimum rate under the stresses placed on it by excessive alcohol consumption. In addition, the body is less able to recover from injuries if it has to deal with a large intake of alcohol. Alcohol dependence contributes to serious health issues including heart disease and cirrhosis of the liver; it has also been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
Next, as an athlete, should you avoid alcohol altogether?

Plastic baseboard vs crown moulding baseboards
I was wondering why there is the following difference:
Most homes (at least ones I've seen in parts of California and Texas) use crown moulding type baseboard.
Corporate/commercial/business buildings seem to use plastic baseboards (at least in places where I've worked), the type that is like tape and also a variant is used instead of caulk to seal bathtubs. Like this photo for example:
Is there a reason or regulations for this difference? Or simply a matter of preference and crown mouldings are the "norm" or fad for residential homes?
Personally, I'd probably consider that plastic tape style baseboard. Takes less floor space, I think easier to work w/ w/o saws, etc., more water resistant & doesn't really absorb water keeping it out instead, and less need to caulk around if at all.
Not sure if you have your terminology mixed up. Crown molding goes at the top of a wall, at the ceiling, and is mounted at an angle. It is never used as a baseboard. Baseboard is usually 1/2 to 3/4 thick, usually with a round over or detail at the top edge, and mounted vertically at the floor/wall joint. There is often a quarter round or similar, at the flloor against the baseboard.
Just hazarding a guess but I suspect the plastic stuff is either cheaper or more durable. Plastic is also less decorative so not really able to create a selling point for a potential buyer.
The plastic/rubber is really just for commercial use. It's inexpensive, can be glued on, and is in my opinion ugly. I know one person who used it in their kitchen in the 80's. It tends to peal off after a while. Also using it around corners is not the prettiest thing.
Crown Moulding is attached where the wall meets the ceiling, not the floor.
That said, the vinyl/plastic base is typically used in commercial applications for several reasons. First, many commercial buildings have concrete block walls, so there's nothing to nail baseboard to. Also, cost factors in. But it's also assumed that in commercial buildings, the base trim will be banged into repeatedly by mops and/or buffing machines and/or vacuums. When it gets knocked loose they either glue it back on, or just replace it.
Not in my house or any house I'm working on.
It's ugly and cheap, no one I know wants there house to look like a doctors office or commercial bathroom.
It's called sanitary base.
Supposing I did want the plastic stuff (pardon the ick factor), where might I find it? It doesn't look like Home Depot, Lowes, sell them other than the smaller type used for bathtubs. Same on Amazon, or I'm searching the wrong term "plastic baseboard".
Try vinyl not plastic.
Any real flooring or tile store store will stock it.
yes they do and that lovely crap brown vinyl comes in 50 ft . rolls
I'm surprised HD/Lowes/Menards doesn't carry the stuff. Did you look carefully in the flooring departments? You can usually get it in rolls, and sometimes in 8' pieces.
Look up "rubber sanitary base."
listen its non called plastic or vinyl its composite moulding and hd sells it by the foot where you cut it yourself and lws sells it in 8' lenths and the installation method for composite is adhesive caulk not screws or nails
Are you saying thay the picture in the original post shows composite moulding? The only thing that has been referred to as plastic, vinyl, or rubber is what is pictured in the first post.
Go back and look. It the cheap looking vinyl sanitary glued up base you see in hospitals and comercial building.
Are you responding to me or the person above me.
To you Mike.

In the photoelectric effect, does brightness or frequency determine the Kinetic energy of the ejected electrons? Which determines the number of the ejected electrons?
Brightness also refers to intensity, or # of photons, what determines the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons is frequencey, as each photon releases 1 electron, if the photon has enough energy to overcome the work function, the remaining energy is then transformed into the electrons kinetic energy (conservation of energy). If it was more intense(brighter), more photons would hit the electrons, freeing them from the materials binding energy, also know as work function. This would lead to more electrons released, but not speed or Ek of electrons.
In short, frequencey affects kinetic energy, and brightness affects number of ejected electrons.

The Women's performance shoe.
Five Ten's Blackwing Women's Climbing Shoe blends an aggressive profile with a tough-as-nails design that's well-suited for both sport climbing and bouldering. Thanks to a formed heel cup, the Blackwing has an extra snug fit, and its rugged Stealth HF rubber offers maximum friction on overhanging problems and routes. Don't sweat it if your project takes a few tries; a microfiber lining delivers plenty of moisture management as well as a comfortable, fleecy feel when you're hanging off a jug-haul 40 feet up.

If you live to be hangin' like a bat in a cave, this shoe is for you. It's toe is turned down hard, so you won't loose your toeing, even if all you've got to move off of is a tiny jib.
It's heal is fully covered in rubber, so you can twist and turn on your heel hooks, and they will not slid off.
Also, these have 5.10's stellar Stealth Rubber, so friction will be 100% on your side. Also, from my experience, Stealth rubber also doesn't get polished over time. So, you're solid on your feet, until you blow through the rubber completely.
For sizing, go with your street size, or maybe even half a size up.
I only did four stars, because the heel box is wider than most other climbing shoes. This is great for some people, but won't work for everyone. Make sure the heel works for you, and your foot doesn't slide up when you're trying to heel-hook, before sticking with these shoes.
Any idea how the sizing of these compares to the lace up pink anasazi's? I have large feet, that are super narrow, so I alway struggle to find shoes that fit well! (I also avoid leather shoes, which narrows things down...)
Are the sizes for this shoe the same as other five ten shoes, or are they women's sizes? I am a male and I am wondering if I order these should I order them larger than I would other five ten shoes, or the same size?

Article Excerpt: It's an unusual winter morning in the desert surrounding Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California — unusual in that the wind isn't howling across the dry lake beds, Joshua trees and low-lying scrub.
It's easy to hear but not see jets from the base as they pierce the cloudless sky, and you'd almost swear you could hear echoes of flights more than 50 years ago in the area by such heroes as Neil Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Gordon Cooper and superstar test pilot Chuck Yeager during the lead-up to America's manned space program.

Deteriorated 28mm diacetate.
Not much to say here, other than that these are some particularly nice photos I managed of a badly deteriorated 28mm diacetate print of Les Misérables (maybe the 1917 version?). Broadly speaking, as a format 28mm was more or less killed by the introduction of 16mm in 1923. Enjoy! (?)

Juice Safety
Juices provide many essential nutrients, but consuming untreated juices can pose health risks to your family. The FDA has received reports of serious outbreaks of foodborne illness that have been traced to drinking fruit and vegetable juice and cider that has not been treated to kill harmful bacteria.
While most people's immune systems can usually fight off the effects of foodborne illness, children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems risk serious illnesses or even death from drinking untreated juices.

Since 1999, the FDA has required juice manufacturers to place warning information on product containers about the health risks of drinking untreated juice or cider. Only a small portion of all fruit and vegetable juices sold in supermarkets is not treated to kill harmful bacteria. These products are required to carry the following warning label:
WARNING: This produce has not been pasteurized and therefore may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.
You should note that the FDA does not require warning labels for juices or cider that is fresh – squeezed and sold by the glass, such as at apple orchards, at farm markets, at roadside stands, or in some juice bars. If you're unsure if a glass of juice or cider have been treated, be sure to ask.
2 Simples Steps to Juice Safety
When purchasing juice, take these two simple steps to protect your children.
1. Always Read the Label – Look for the warning label to avoid the purchase of untreated juices. You can find pasteurized or otherwise treated products in your grocers' refrigerated sections, frozen food cases, or in non-refrigerated containers, such as juice boxes, bottles or cans. Untreated juice is most likely sold in the refrigerated section of a grocery store.
2. When in Doubt – Ask! – Always ask if you're unsure if a juice product is treated, especially for juices sold in refrigerated cases of grocery or health food stores, cider mills, or farm markets. Also, don't hesitate to ask if the labeling is unclear or if the juice or cider is sold by the glass.
|Did you Know? When fruits and vegetables are fresh-squeezed, bacteria from the produce can end up in your juice or cider. Unless the produce or the juice has been treated to destroy harmful bacteria, the juice could be contaminated.

- Anna Craig
Jan 24, 2011 - I have been going to see Anna now for over 3 years and she has never let me down. Rather my hair looks great all the time, is easily maintained and is complimented on a regular basis! I never feel pressured into buying products or trying a style I am not comfortable with like I have at other salons. With a move 100+ miles away in the next few months, I am willing to travel to have Anna cut my hair. She is a top notch stylist worth the drive :)

Could the pumice that surges into the ocean once a volcano erupts in Tonga or elsewhere in the south-west Pacific save the Great Barrier Reef?
World-first research conducted by Queensland University of Technology geologist Dr Scott Bryan indicates that yes, this is not only possible, but could be how the Great Barrier Reef formed in the first place.
Dr Bryan and colleagues studied the westward flow or rafting of pumice after volcanic eruptions in Tonga in 2001 and 2006.
Pumice forms when frothy molten rock cools rapidly and forms a lightweight bubble-rich rock that can float in water.
Dr Bryan said his study found plants and tiny animals including corals latched onto pumice as it was swept by ocean currents towards north eastern Australia.
"The pumice raft created after the 2006 Home Reef volcano erupted in Tonga initially formed at least a 440 square kilometre floating mass," he said.
"This mass slowly broke up into streaks and millions to billions of marine organisms such as cyanobacteria, barnacles, molluscs, corals, anemones, and crabs began hitching a ride.
"The pumice we observed travelled more than 5000 kilometres in eight months and for the first time we were able to document the more than 80 species of plant and animal life that made the journey with it.
"Some biological cargo latched on in the waters around Tonga and Fiji while others came aboard elsewhere along the raft's 900+ day journey."
Dr Bryan said when these tiny corals, coralline algae, anemones and other reef dwellers arrived in north-eastern waters they became part of the Great Barrier Reef.
"This is good news because we know the reef is being replenished as a result of volcanic activity in the south-west Pacific and volcanic activity is frequent with eruptions in the area occurring every five to 10 years," he said.
"On the downside, marine pests, for example some species of sponge or mussel, can also be carried along on the pumice.
"While our research has not yet recognised designated marine pests, even if migration occurred at a very low rate in the future, pumice rafting could bring an invasion of millions to billions of pests that we don't yet know how to deal with."
Dr Bryan said his research would be significant to ecologists.
"Ecologists know the types of pests present in Pacific waters and their spawning patterns so when a future pumice rafting event occurs we can be in a better position to predict and suggest pest mitigation measures," he said.
He said prior to his research, pumice rafting had not been considered a significant factor in the dispersal of marine life for either reef revitalisation or pest invasion.
"We now have concrete proof that this is not the case," he said.
Dr Bryan's research paper, Rapid, Long-Distance Dispersal by Pumice Rafting, is published online in PLoS ONE.

Wooster's Betsy Allen decided to get a little selfish Saturday.
After running for a number of reasons this season, the Generals' sophomore decided to keep Saturday's Div. I 400-meter final at the Girls State Track and Field Championships to herself.
The result was third-place finish in yet another record time and a medal around Allen's neck as she left the University of Dayton's Welcome Stadium. Her effort was the highlight of the afternoon for the Generals.
"All season I think I've been running for other people and wanting to make my parents and friends happy," Allen said. "My coach had a talk with me beforehand and just told me that I needed to run for myself and not worry about all the other things.
"I was really nervous, maybe more than ever. I knew that as long as I finished the race I was going to be a state placer, but I really just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it."
In addition to proving something to herself, Allen confirmed that her times over the last month were no fluke. After lowering her own school and Wayne County record 56.57 by running a 56.52 in her semifinal heat, Allen finished in 56.32 yesterday. Her time put her behind winner Ayrizanna Favours of Columbus Eastmoor Academy (54.92) and Euclid's Heather Palmer (55.96).
"I really wanted to go under 56 seconds today, but I can't be disappointed with running my best," Allen said. "I can't ask for much more than that."
Allen's podium finish capped a season that saw her come from off the radar screen to become the area's fastest quarter-miler ever. Not even she could've predicted such an unlikely finish.
"I never could've imagined this," Allen said. "Last year I didn't even make it out of regional semifinals. My goal was to just break 60 and I never thought that I'd be running in the low 56s. Never in my wildest dreams."
Having tasted the state meet atmosphere once, Allen already has a preseason goal in mind for next spring.
"Where do I go from here? To play soccer," Allen said with a laugh. "My goal is to definitely go lower in the 400. I want to get into the 55s next year and maybe work my way toward a possible state championship some day."
Allen left Dayton with two medals after running the anchor leg on Wooster's 4x200 relay. She joined Charlene McClain-Hicks, Katie George and Rozalind Jones to finish seventh in 1:43.80. The sultry afternoon weather, an outside lane assignment and a leg injury that McClain-Hicks reaggravated after running the semifinals combined to leave the Generals wrinkling their noses.
"We've never really run in (this hot) weather and we're not used to it," George said. "As I was standing over there waiting I could just feel it draining my energy. I would've liked to have had a much better time."
Said Jones: "We wanted to run the best we could. We knew we had lane 8 and that wasn't our best lane to run in. We just wanted to run to the best of our ability and as fast as we could. We didn't care if Charlene had to walk or jog, we just wanted to finish doing our best."
Allen, though, tried to put the finish in perspective.
"I don't know if I'd call it disappointing," she said. "When you go to the state finals and place I don't know how disappointed you can be.
"Maybe because we were seeded third or fourth coming into state, you kind of get that number in your head as where you should place based on your time. We were about a second off our best time, so that's a little disappointing
"It was just a combination of things. Everybody has off days, it's just too bad ours was in the state finals."
Allen may as well have been talking to Wooster's R. D. Goodright, who had high hopes entering the boys 1,600 final after placing eighth as a sophomore last season. This year was a different story, though, as Goodright failed to crack the top eight.
"I didn't prepare well enough. I felt tired and heavy," Goodright said. "I don't think I did enough this week. I rested too much and lost fitness.
"It was not a good day, but this just shows me what I have to do to prepare for next season."

John McCain Talks "Ultimate Fighting" On ESPN SportsCenter
On MMA: "It's something that American people like to view. The first shots I remember seeing of initially Ultimate Fighting Championship was a guy bashing his head into an opponent's face that was literally unconscious. Now, they've cleaned it up. It's not my favorite sport, but I think they're in compliance now with most of the things we would approve of."
Good interview, glad to see he looks at it in a good way now. At least he didn't see the Silva vs Jardine fight. lol
ugh. im still not going to vote for him.
Yer I saw this on ESPN eariler, he said he still wouldn't watch it. :confused02:
Seems like a fair enough view.
Why is it still banned in New York though??
Fair enough view though...
I don't expect older people to like, or even acknowledge mma. I've watched a few cards when I was visiting my dad, and he was like, "what are they doing just laying on the ground? I don't get it." Thats the extent of his interest, lol. Atleast McCain isn't calling it cockfighting anymore :thumbsup:.
I watched the interview myself. It is a good step for mixed martial arts. I don't hate Mcain for it.
He embraced the MMA lifestyle by not speaking against it. If you understand politics you'll know that he could have been alot more aggresive on the subject.
Though generally you're right, they didn't grow up with it, and it's definitely not it's not aimed at that generation.
You have to wonder if this is politics or he really does think of it better now. Still not going to vote for him!

Featuring Ronald A. Cass, Keith N. Hylton, F. Scott Kieff
January 31, 2013
January 31, 2013
The historic approach to encouraging innovation and creativity by granting property rights, enshrined in the text of the U.S. Constitution, has come under attack by a growing number of legal theorists and technologists. In a new book, Laws of Creation, Ronald Cass and Keith Hylton take on these critics with a vigorous defense of intellectual property law. The authors carefully examine the IP doctrines that have been developed over many years in patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret law. Does the current regulatory regime spur creativity and economic growth, or do they produce licenses that stifle progress and innovation?

" Manufacturer: Concord / Seat Type: Booster / Seating Direction: Rear / Forward Facing / With 5-Point Safety Harness / With Detachable Base / Weight Limit 19.8... "
We have been using this car seat for approx 18 months now, well at least our daughter has been and I must say that she loves it. Now it is difficult to judge as she does appear to be a good traveller but I think this is partly down to the seat she is in, namely this one. It does state that it is for use from birth up until 4 years, from birth it is rear facing and from 6-9 months you have it forward facing up until the child is approx 4 years old. Now we brought the seat to use from birth but I could not for the life of me manage to fit it as a rear facing seat so we resolved by borrowing a carry seat from a friend. This was a shame as since we have been using it I have been impressed. We recently drove to Poland with our daughter at 18 months in age and over the 40 hours of driving we did she was probably restless for about an hour to 2 hours total.
The seat is adjustable in the headrest and reclining positions and this helps with keeping your child comfortable. The most important this though for any parent is the build quality that is what ensures your child's safety and with this seat I would state that it is second to none. Once securely fitted you cannot move it and it weighs an absolute tonne, not literally but it is very heavy.
Overall I would say it is a good product. Maybe slightly confusing to fit but once that is done you don't really need to remove it. It is one of the more expensive models of its type but having looked at various similar products I do feel that this one is better made and probably a safer and sturdier options and I feel very comfortable having my daughter travel in this seat. The one negative I would mention is that as your child grows and your need to move the seatbelt straps higher up the back of the seat this can take some time.

Rowdy rocker Andrew W.K. has been announced as the opener for Black Sabbath's forthcoming tour, which kicks off in the Lone Star State on July 25 and includes an Aug. 24 stop at the Gorge Amphitheatre near Quincy.
The amiable "Party Hard" and "I Get Wet" singer released a statement through his fan site: He's "shocked," "dream come true" - yadda yadda, stuff you'd expect. But seriously, you might get a kick out of surfing over there to see what he did with Sabbath's infamously cropped promo pic.
Among other reasons we love the guy is he does goofy, fun stuff like this...
... and this.
The announcement comes in the wake of iconic Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne's tour teleconference, which Tacoma Weekly took part in yesterday. Click here to find out what Ozzy said about estranged band mate Bill Ward.
