Percy Harvin ready to play after frustrations of injuries all season - Jan. 23, 2014

RENTON - Despite a season spent largely on the sidelines, Seattle Seahawks WR Percy Harvin is back at practice and feels ready to play against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
"Absolutely. I feel good," Harvin said. "It was good to get back out there with my guys. I don't think anybody is not feeling good going up to the most prized possession in our profession, the Super Bowl. Everybody is feeling good, we had a good first couple of days of practice and we're looking forward to competing."
Havin fully participated in practice for the second straight day after being cleared to return to workouts on Wednesday. Harvin suffered a concussion against the New Orleans Saints that forced him to miss last week's NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Harvin has played in just six quarters of action for Seattle this season. Harvin missed 15 of 16 regular season games with a hip injury that required surgery on Aug. 1.
The hip healed to the point where Harvin could return for Seattle's playoff game against the Saints. But the return was short-lived as Harvin took two big blows from New Orleans defenders and left the game with a concussion late in the second quarter.
With Seattle advancing to the Super Bowl, it gives Harvin a chance to play in the biggest game of his career.
"It's been a roller coaster, but it's all been a blessing. I wouldn't take anything back that has happened this year. It's made me a stronger person," Harvin said.
"It was definitely frustrating but like I said it's all over with now and we get a chance to play for the Super Bowl, so that's all in the past."
Harvin said the migraine issues he's dealt with in the past had no effect in getting back from the concussion suffered against the Saints. Harvin also added that hip feels fine, though he is still managing aspects of its care.
Harvin didn't get to play against the 49ers, but he still got to experience the joy of knowing he was heading to his first Super Bowl.
"I couldn't even describe how I felt at that time," Harvin said. "I don't think anybody could put in words to know that we actually made it to the Super Bowl. It was kind of surreal for me."
Harvin could bring an added dimension to an offense that has sputtered at times over the last several weeks. His mere presence on the field could affect how the Broncos have to match up against Seattle. In the Super Bowl, that presence could make all the difference.

Joe Siddall
Joseph Todd Siddall
- Bats Left, Throws Right
- Height 6' 1", Weight 197 lb.
- Debut July 28, 1993
- Final Game September 26, 1998
- Born October 25, 1967 in Windsor, ON CAN
Biographical Information[edit]
Joe Siddall was a defensive-minded catcher who played for many seasons in the Montreal Expos organization, where he was appreciated for his ability to handle young pitchers. He first came up to the major leagues with the Expos in 1993 and played for them again in 1995. He also played in the majors with the Florida Marlins in 1996 and the Detroit Tigers in 1998. The Tigers were his hometown team, as he had been born and had grown up across the St. Clair River from Detroit, MI,in Windsor, ON.
On September 6, 1993, he was the starting catcher when local boy Denis Boucher started his first game as a member of the Montreal Expos, against the Colorado Rockies. It was the first time a major league team had started an all-Canadian battery, and only the second time a Canadian pitcher had thrown to a compatriot on a major league mound (Eric MacKenzie had caught Ozzie Van Brabant for 1 1/3 innings on April 23, 1955 in what turned out to be MacKenzie's only big league game). In the game, Siddall hist his first career extra-base hit, a double off Steve Reed that tied the game at 3-all in the 8th. He caught Boucher again for two more of his starts that season. This is still the only instance of an all-Canadian battery to start a game, although Eric Gagné did pitch a couple of times to Russell Martin with the 2006 Los Angeles Dodgers, and Chris Leroux pitched to Martin once in 2013.
A couple of decades after his retirement as a player, Siddall became an analyst on Toronto Blue Jays television broadcasts, working with Buck Martinez and others.

I LOVE THE RESULTS HATE THE RECOVERY! I hade my procedure done on April 11th by Dr. Jimerson of Atlanta GA. He is the absolute best and the staff was very friendly and put me at ease but I still would like to speak to some one that is currently feeling "my pain" so to speak lol. Please inbox me so we can vent about the recovery process and compare notes...

I LOVE THE RESULTS HATE THE RECOVERY! I hade my...
Ok 6 days post op I'm feeling a lot better...
Ok 6 days post op I'm feeling a lot better I'm walking up and down the stairs now. Not too much tho, don't want to over do it. The first 3 days were more than I could have imagined but I'm not really one for pain. I had not idea that I would have to get daily injections, but its for my own good since I'm flying back home its too control blood clots so I guess its cool...on my way to get drains removed will post more details later. So far so good tho.
Overall its not gonna be an easy road, you are...
Overall its not gonna be an easy road, you are gonna have to toughn up and press through. The more you force yourself to get up and walk around, quicker you will heal. You want to drink plenty of fluids water, gatorade etc. Eat proteins, (nothing fried) fresh fruits and veggies. Honestly you're really not gonna want to eat anything heavy for a few days anyway. I didn't get a lot of sleep the first few days. For 1 its not comfortable for me to sleep on my stomach but also because you need to wake up every 2hrs to walk around even if its just from the bathroom to the bed. Listen to your doctor and the nurses, if you follow what they say to the "T" you will be fine... I got nervous because I felt like I was swollen everywhere, but if you think about it your body just went through a lot so don't stress, give it time to recover from the trauma. The garment will feel like its fighting against you lol, but its ok, it needs to be tight so that your skin and body can heal properly. Dr. J is really aggressive with the lipo, meaning he is gonna get a that ugly stubborn fat out, your stomach will look "great". I was lucky because I have family in GA, you will need someone with you for the first 4 days at least. I would dare to say the whole time you're in GA. This is not something you want to got through this alone. Will post more 2moro :-) (sorry about typos I'm on my phone)
Ok I know I all over the place but let me start...
Ok I know I all over the place but let me start from the beginning. I first starrted this journey 2 years ago... finally narrowing down my search to a doctor in FL and Dr. J in Atlanta. Both seemed very capable but. I wanted a doctor that specialized in BBL and would give me the aggressive results that I wanted. I didn't want a wimpy doctor that was limited to 400 to 600ccs. I wanted a BIG BOOTY lol... I live out of state so I ended to a virtual consult basically phone and email pics. He was very patient and I felt very confortable not to mention. The patient care coordinator Michelle was very informative and was willing to share her story with me and answer any questions I had. I made a appointment and 2weeks later I was in ATL for my pre op. I purchased a boppy pillow for about $20 from walmart and went home to prepare my mind for the next day. ....My surgery went well. I was then placed in my families car and taken home all the while speaking high out of my anesthesia mind and thanking everyone for a job well done. Lol. I had to put my big girl panties on for the first few days, it was like learning to walk all over again. I was swollen and bruised in places I didn't know I had but I could still see dramatic results even with the swelling.
For the first few days My neice had to help to...
For the first few days My neice had to help to back and forth to the bathroom waking me up ever 2 hrs to walk around and take my meds on time... I LOVE her to death for this... My 2 sisters, 2 neices and mom were my 24hr on call nurses.it took me 5 days to actually have a bowel movement. I took stool softeners, fleet, magnesium nitrate, and even a suppository nothing worked but then I drank an ex lax tea. Finally on day 6 relief. Nasty but true. Ok I am currently post 9days and I'm feeling great still sore and a little stiff but all and all 8 don't regret one day of it... My butt looks great I actually put a can of dax grease on my new shelf lol and took a pic, it stayed up there.lol Pics to come. I will post them as soon as I get home. Flying back home 2moro. I wanted 1000ccs in each cheek but my butt couldn't handle it so I ended up with 800ccs. My doc informed me that if he would have forced more then they fat cells would have been too compressed and would have died sooooo yea... oh and ladies although we are told we can sit on our butts after 2weeks. The longer you wait and use the pillow the better chance you have of keeping the fat cells without reabsorbing. Hope this helped. :-)
Ok the flight home was really uncomfortable, I had...
Ok the flight home was really uncomfortable, I had to ask one of the flight attendants if I could stand in the front near them. He was very nice so I ended up standing for about and hour of my 1 1/2 flight home. Really wasn't that bad. Make sure you have pain pills the road to recovery really doesn't begin to get better until your 2weeks and then its still sore on ur sides. Be patient with yourself tho, it gets better. Oh and I called the airport in advanced and told them I had surgery and they arranged for a wheelchair to take me to the plane and once I landed to my ride so that was a plus. Trust me you won't feel like walking a carrying or pulling a suitcase.... BTW: trying to post picks from phone.
I went through a little hassle with the financing and misunderstanding of which company they accept but over all it wasn't too bad. Michelle and Monica were very helpful.

Shipman suggested Democratic-controlled Congress would result in "a culture of gridlock," misled on Democrats' tax position
Research ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
On Good Morning America, Claire Shipman warned that "we're still likely, if the Democrats get the House, to see a culture of gridlock" because "[n]either side will have the 60 votes in the Senate they would need to really get things done." Shipman did not inform viewers of the number of issues on the GOP legislative agenda that went unaddressed in this congressional session.
While reporting on the "reality" of a Democratic-controlled House, on the November 7 edition of ABC's Good Morning America, ABC News senior national correspondent Claire Shipman warned that "we're still likely, if the Democrats get the House, to see a culture of gridlock" because "[n]either side will have the 60 votes in the Senate they would need to really get things done." Throughout the segment, onscreen text read: "What if Dems take Congress? Will Government Gridlock?" But in suggesting a "culture of gridlock" would ensue should "Democrats get the House," Shipman did not inform viewers of the current Republican Congress' failed legislative agenda.
Indeed, as ABC News' own reporting has noted, the Republican-controlled House and Senate have not succeeded in tackling major issues, such as comprehensive immigration, Social Security, and tax reforms, which Republicans had identified as their top domestic priorities. During a discussion about the current session of Congress with ABC News correspondent Sam Donaldson on the September 26 edition of ABC News Now's Politics Live, John Fortier, a research fellow with the conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI), asserted that the current Republican-controlled Congress "is a somewhat unproductive Congress." Fortier explained: "[I]f you go back to President Bush's inaugural speech, this was supposed to be a Congress where we were reforming Social Security or changing the tax code -- big priorities of Bush -- which long ago went by the wayside. So, certainly, it is a Congress that is having trouble passing things." While interviewing House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) during the October 29 edition of ABC's This Week, ABC News chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos similarly noted that, this year, Congress "killed ... tax reform, Social Security private accounts, and comprehensive immigration reform" -- three Bush-sponsored "agenda items."
Additionally, Shipman misled on Democrats' stated position on Bush's tax cuts. Shipman noted that both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney believe that Democrats would raise taxes if elected, and then aired House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's (CA) contention that Democrats would seek to "roll back some of President Bush's tax cuts." Shipman did not report, however, that Pelosi has stated that Democrats will consider increasing taxes only on those making "$250,000 or $300,000 a year and higher" and would cut taxes for the middle class, as Media Matters for America has previously noted. Moreover, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has said that Democrats' highest priority, with regard to taxes, would be on reducing the impact of the alternative minimum tax on middle-class taxpayers.
From the November 7 edition of ABC's Good Morning America:
SHIPMAN: Good morning, Robin. We are in one of the many House hearing rooms. And this is what has Republicans incredibly nervous: that these rooms are going to get very busy on issues like Iraq, the [former Rep. Mark] Foley [R-FL] scandal if Democrats get control of the House and get to sit in the chairman's spot.
ANNOUNCER [video clip]: Liberal Democrats want to cut and run in Iraq.
SHIPMAN: Just thinking about it, strategists hope, will give Republican voters such severe chills they'll rush to the polls.
SHIPMAN: The reality of a Democratic-controlled House? Here's what the woman who would be in charge says.
PELOSI: We would make our country safer, make our economy fairer, make college more affordable, heath care more accessible. We would move toward energy independence.
SHIPMAN: All that probably unlikely without a Democratic Senate and White House, as well, but do look for these specifics.
STUART ROTHENBERG (The Rothenberg Political Report editor and publisher) [video clip]: The Democrats are gonna push minimum wage, reimportation of prescription drugs, student loans, and the big thing is, we're gonna get, I think, a number of inquiries into Bush policy, whether it's Iraq, post-Katrina cleanup, or domestic surveillance.
SHIPMAN: Ah, yes, the power of investigation. Not to mention the power of the purse. Both could make a Democratic House a real force in pushing for a drawdown in Iraq, for example. And Republicans are right about one of the stickiest and unresolved questions for Democrats should they win.
BUSH [video clip]: Raising taxes is what the Democrats want to do.
CHENEY [video clip]: I think, in fact, you would see a major tax increase.
SHIPMAN: But you would intend to roll back some of President Bush's tax cuts.
PELOSI: Some of President Bush's tax cuts.
SHIPMAN: And immediately?
PELOSI: Well, we have to go through it and see how much money is required.
SHIPMAN: One clear pledge the minority leader has made, perhaps with an eye toward helping a Democrat win the White House in 2008 --
PELOSI: We have taken impeachment off the table.
ROTHENBERG: The way to win the White House is not to come out with both barrels blasting and try to impeach the president. So, I think you may see a surprisingly pragmatic Nancy Pelosi and Democratic majority in the House.
SHIPMAN : Now, if Republicans keep the House, look for a leadership shake-up. Many Republicans are unhappy with the leadership style of the speaker of the house, Dennis Hastert [IL]. It's been a hands-off style. They don't like all of the scandals they've had to endure. But keep in mind, we're still likely, if the Democrats get the House, to see a culture of gridlock. Neither side will have the 60 votes in the Senate they would need to really get things done. Robin.
From the October 29 edition of ABC's This Week:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me turn to the domestic agenda. At his press conference this week, President Bush said he wanted to revive three agenda items that were killed in Congress this year: tax reform, Social Security private accounts, and comprehensive immigration reform. Here's how he put it.
BUSH [video clip]: First, I haven't given up on any of those issues. I got two years left to achieve them. And I firmly believe it is more likely to achieve those three objectives with a Republican-controlled Congress and a Republican-controlled Senate.
STEPHANOPOULOS: As Republican leader in the House, if you maintain the majority, will you help the president pass Social Security private accounts and comprehensive immigration reform?
JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH): I believe that having fundamental tax reform is critical for our long-term interests. Our tax system burdens a lot of our exports and if we change our tax system like other countries around the world have, we can lower the tax load on our exports, helping to increase our exports.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And that's tax reform --
BOEHNER: When it comes -- when it comes to the issue of entitlements, whether it be Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, baby boomers, like I, have made promises to ourselves that our kids and grandkids can't afford. And we as a country need to have a very serious conversation about what's fair here. But -- but --
STEPHANOPOULOS: But the Republican House --
BOEHNER: But George --
STEPHANOPOULOS: Excuse me, let me just interrupt you there, because the Republican House last time killed the president's proposal on Social Security reform. Are you saying you're going to bring it back?
BOEHNER: George, what I'm saying is we as a nation have to have a serious conversation about the three largest entitlement programs we're having. They're growing at double-digit rates of inflation -- they're not sustainable -- and rather than put issues on the table or take issues off the table, I think it's time for Americans to come together and let's have an honest conversation about the promises we've made to ourselves that literally our kids and grandkids cannot afford.
From the September 26 edition ABC News Now's Politics Live:
DONALDSON: Well, now, is this business as usual? I mean, are we making too much of this? If we went back in history in the last 20 or 30 years would be fine, every Congress says the same nothing.
FORTIER: Well, there are instances of things being put off until after the election long breaks, but it is a somewhat unproductive Congress, I think. And you didn't even mention, if you go back to President Bush's inaugural speech, this was supposed to be a Congress where we were reforming Social Security or changing the tax code -- big priorities of Bush -- which long ago went by the wayside. So, certainly it is a Congress that is having trouble passing things. It's a challenging atmosphere for Republicans, and they're not gonna look back on this one as one of the highlights.

We do not do your work for you. We will be happy to make comments, suggestions after you have done the reading and writing.
Thanks to Writeacher, here is the lesson on how to search:
It looks as if what you need to do is learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches for yourself. That's what research is, and I'm sure that's what your teacher expects you to do -- conduct research. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.
At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page
< http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en > and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning HOW to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:
... and one to help you judge whether a particular website's information is worth your time:
Happy searching.

In general, however, weakness in Europe is still a concern for the industry but demand levels elsewhere appear capable of picking up the slack. There are a few factors still working against the industry though. Higher input costs for some raw materials are putting pressure on margins and pricing structures. Strong industry-wide competition is also compounding this problem.Footer:

Design Smart Home Application Using iOS8 HomeKitPosted by Lets Nurture
2.9 K views
After the iBeacon at WWDC 2013, another feature to cover the extended network to automated life-style, Apple introduced the HomeKit API – at this year's developers' conference. If iBeacon is the answer to leverage external network of the iPhone user, HomeKit is a similar (But Software) extravaganza to control Home Network.
As an iOS App developer, if we evaluate both these hardware & software features, iBeacon provides the ultimate micro-location based services in the external world of the user. And the HomeKit API based iOS App will allow the user to control the Home Automation devices such as security, lighting & entertainment gadgets (such as TV).
The HomeKit API will empower the Third-Party providers to create a Single Mobile App to control various Home Automation devices of the user. The features of extensibility will allow the App developers to integrate this App into Notification area with a widget. Moreover, the voice functionality of the Siri will allow the user to give voice commands to control these devices.
Using the Proximity sensor & Location services, soon the user reaches Home, the HomeKit API will automatically control the security device & open the doors, disable the security alarm and then switch the lights on (Provided the Electronic devices support Automated control). The biggest advantage to have all these vulnerable features in an iPhone is Apple's Sandbox Security Model.
We can expect a huge demand from the Electronics manufactures of the home automation devices to have native Apps and notification area widgets using HomeKit API. Simultaneously, third-party app developers would need a bulk of extensions to provide a single iOS App to support majority of the manufactures in the Home automation domain.
The Jarvis App (Third-Party) has been a miniature of the complete package Apple's own API – HomeKit can deliver. As we know Jarvis was an attempt to create a Personal Assistant to the iPhone user inspired by the JARVIS of Tony Stark in Marvel Picture's Iron Man. However, with inter-App communications and other features of Extensibility – HomeKit API is going to be the ultimate tool to design a Smart Home Application.
We at Lets Nurture are iOS 8 ready! Our teams of developers are excited to start taking on the iOS Widgets Development and iOS Extensions Development Projects. And our Analysts are constantly reviewing the extended scope to the iOS App development Projects through implementation of the impeccable enhancements to the iOS8 framework.
Write to us for details on how your Project can be carried out.

Champagne price rise may boost sparkling Burgundy
By Marcel Michelson
SAINT-BRIS-LE-VINEUX, France (Reuters Life!) - Makers of sparkling wines in Burgundy hope they can steal a march on their northern neighbors in Champagne and lure foreign buyers who have been finding the champers a bit expensive.
"I have high hopes for the U.S. and Britain," said Damien Guerault of the firm Bailly Lapierre which makes wines and sparkling cremant from Burgundy.
He said the rise in the value of the single European currency, the euro, has been pushing up the price of Champagne for drinkers in other markets, making Burgundy bubbly an attractive value for money tipple.
"The price rise of Champagne on many markets due to the euro could turn more buyers to other sparkling wines like cremant," Lapierre said
Champagne can only be made in the specific French region of the same name but that has not stopped vintners in other areas to make sparkling wines too, using the same methods as the Champagne makers have done long since the monk Dom Perignon with the use of yeast in wine to create a sparkling wine.
There is Cava from Spain with brands such as Freixenet and the Spumante from Italy such as Asti Spumante from Piedmont.
In France there is the blanquette de Limoux and cremant from various regions, as well as the Clairette de Die from near Valence in the Cotes du Rhone region.
While Champagne mostly matures in underground cellars, Bailly Lapiere uses a large cave in a rock next to the Yonne river. The cave was hand made as a quarry that produced the stones used in many monuments in France, such as the Notre Dame and Pantheon in Paris. The stones were hewn from the rock and transported on wooden rafts over the river. Continued...

Easy Ways to Lower Cholesterol and Reduce Blood Pressure (Page 3)
2. Cut Back on "Bad" Fats
When Pittsburgh Steeler Casey Hampton (a.k.a. "Big Snack") arrived at training camp a few years ago too heavy to play, team nutritionist Leslie Bonci worked with the team's chef to create meals designed to slash Hampton's intake of calories and saturated fats, which can elevate "bad" LDL cholesterol, leading to plaque buildup in arteries. In place of fried chicken wings, Bonci gave Hampton grilled chicken strips with low-fat dipping sauces. Other ways to reduce saturated fat: replace butter with olive and canola oils, which contain good amounts of heart healthy monounsaturated fats; choose lean meats, poultry, fish and beans instead of higher fat meats; select nonfat or low-fat milk and yogurt in place of whole-milk versions; eat full-fat cheeses sparingly. Avoid trans fats, which also increase LDL cholesterol, by skipping foods that contain "hydrogenated oil" or "partially hydrogenated oil" in their ingredient lists. (Big culprits include packaged snacks, crackers, bakery goods and some margarines.)

Shale gas has helped push the price of US natural gas and ethane to historically low levels, increasing the competitiveness of the chemical industry there. Until now it has seemed that European chemical producers have developed a structural feedstock disadvantage as it relies mainly on naphtha which is tied to oil prices.
Now, according to Steelguru.com, shale deposits rich in gas have been discovered in many parts of Europe including France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
According to this article, as a result of the discoveries LNG rich nations such as Qatar and UAE have already begun re-evaluating options of exporting gas to some of its gas strapped neighboring countries.
It adds: "Looking at the regional LNG market, the fact we are currently in the middle of a global economic downturn coupled with the emergence of the unconventional gas supply and new LNG capacity coming on-stream, it is likely that there will be a reduction in project activity in the LNG sector over the coming year.
North America has been the leader in developing and producing shale gas and the great economic success of the Barnett Shale field in Texas has spurred the search for other sources of shale gas across both the US and Canada. Within the Middle East region, shale reserves exist in Jordan and Syria, but the extent to which the deposits will have on the overall gas balance will largely depend on the speed at which exploration efforts advance."

MSD Hiccup with fan switch.
I'm kind of at a loss here with this annoying glitch. I went through the trouble of installing a 140 amp alternator over my 100amp. Added up all the amps in my system and came up with 65 amps total with everything on at the same time. Headlights both fuel pumps and so on
My fans are wired to two 60 amp switches that are manually activated so I can cool the motor off in the staging lanes. My water pump is also wired in the same manner with 12 gauge wires. Grounds are directly to the fame.
MSD is wired independently from an aftermarket fuse box in the cab with 12 gauge wires and a ground going to the frame and battery just to be safe.
Here is my problem I have noticed if I turn the fans off and then on or the water pump while the motor is running I can see the MSD light flash off for a quick millisecond and the motor will hiccup slightly. I have never noticed this till I had to purchase my MSD Digital 6Al since my old MSD 6Al died.
Faulty MDS box?.... Or will a high voltage capacitor for the MDS resolve the issue? Im guessing the voltage regulator cant keep up with the start load from the electric motors.

A Chinese Designer Speaks Out on Chinese DesignBy
I received this wonderful comment on my post on Chinese designers. Her analysis parallels my own—the quick-quick manufacturing culture of China shapes Chinese designers. The market for their talent is for designing inexpensive products, often knock-offs, and they do that very well. My major point is that US and European consultancies working in China say that young Chinese designers are not able to do brand strategy and other more sophisticated design work, including very fine product design. There is a growing market for this kind of design by Chinese companies trying to build up their brands inside China and in the wider global market place.
Here is Lucy's comment:
"I'm a China born designer, trained in China and then in the US, and have been working in the US for the last 7 years in international teams, closely with Asian manufacturers and sometimes Chinese design firms.
I see the problem of Chinese Design rooted beyond the design profession itself.In a conversation I had with a fellow Chinese designer who started his own firm in Beijing not long ago, we talked about how it is not realistic for a small firm like his to estimate a long design process in order to "get things right", while the competitors are offering a much shorter and much cheaper package to the client to quickly whip the things out.
The clients, mostly domestic brands and manufacturers, are not seeing the difference between a "right" and "not so right" design yet. The fact that some of them are hiring design firms to design anything original is a big step forward, when copying a cell phone to save the time, money, and trouble (in testing the tools and market, etc. as we all know) is not exactly illegal in China.
And these brands and manufacturers could also argue that if their consumers, like some people mentioned here, in 2nd or 3rd tier cities can not tell the difference between a "right" and a "not so right" design, (or they just don't mind…)why would they even bother hiring the right team to design it right?
It is really a reality of a country in all aspect during its development. I love my home country deeply and can not wait to see it thriving, especially in the field I work in. But I can not stand by and point fingers to say "Gee! You guys are way behind!". It's not any Chinese designers' fault. It is a painstaking process that the whole country is going through.
Like we, as individuals, all go through life with different circumstances and take our different path to learn and grow, there's no shame in having to start a bit "behind", and there's probably advantages to be able to find goals and models in front of us. After all, we are only trying to "improve" the world, not to perfect it. If the current generation of Chinese designers can help their society by their efforts, even if they are not at the same place as some of the western counterparts, who grew up with financial,educational, and professional privileges, it's still a great achievement."

Hey, I'm in the process of making Yuuko's Space-Time Witch costume for Otakon, although I'm not sure I'll be able to get it done by then, what with the limited funds I have. But I know I'll be quite finished by the time Ohayocon roles around. So is anyone else planning a costume from either of those two series? I was thinking we could get together a big group, maybe not just HOLiC or Tsubasa, but any CLAMP character if you have any.
Any takers? :chatah:

When Can a Student's Grandparents Substitute for the Parents on Financial Aid Forms?
Mark Kantrowitz
August 08, 2011
Due to a layoff and subsequent underemployment, our current credit profile includes an account that is more than 90 days delinquent. We are currently working with the lender on a loan modification. What options are available for the student's grandparents to substitute for the parents for signing or co-signing for financial aid? — S.R.
An undergraduate student's parents will be ineligible for the Parent PLUS loan if they have an adverse credit history. An adverse credit history includes a current delinquency of 90 or more days on any debt or a 5-year look-back for derogatory elements of the credit history, such as bankruptcy or foreclosure. An adverse credit history does not otherwise affect eligibility for federal student aid.
If the student's parents have been denied a Parent PLUS loan, the student will become eligible for the same unsubsidized Stafford loan limits available to independent students. These loan limits are $4,000 per year higher than the normal limits for dependent students during the freshman and sophomore years and $5,000 per year higher during the junior and senior years.
Alternately, there are two main methods for regaining eligibility for the Parent PLUS loan. If the only reason the parents are ineligible is due to a 90-day delinquency, the parents can regain eligibility by bringing the delinquent account current. They can also regain eligibility by getting a creditworthy endorser to cosign the loans. This cosigner cannot be the student, but it can be the student's grandparents.
(Grandparents are not considered to be parents for federal student aid purposes unless they have adopted the student. Thus, while the grandparents can cosign the parent's Parent PLUS loan, they cannot borrow from the Parent PLUS loan program on their own.)
Similarly, grandparents can cosign a private student loan, provided that they satisfy the credit underwriting criteria. Note that lenders of private student loans are increasingly considering debt-to-income ratios when evaluating creditworthiness of a cosigner. If the grandparents are retired, on limited income and do not have financial resources sufficient to repay the debt, they might not qualify as creditworthy cosigners on the private student loan.
Note that a cosigner is a co-borrower, equally obligated to repay the debt. If the student is delinquent or defaults, it will show up on the cosigner's credit history in addition to the student's credit history, ruining the credit scores of both borrowers.
Some lenders are now offering private education loans that can be borrowed by a parent or grandparent without involving the student as a borrower. The parent or grandparent is solely responsible for repaying the loan. Eligibility is based on the borrower's credit history and other criteria.

That which is never lost cannot be found, and to search for it is absurd. But the moment this absurdity is understood all seeking stops by itself and that which is never lost is found!
That is why I say: Seek and you will not find, because the very seeking is the barrier. The search itself is the hindrance because it creates the seeker, the ego, the illusion that I am."
And I am not.
Do not seek and you will find it: the I-am-not-ness. This nothingness is the gate. The Gateless gate.
Riko once asked Nansen to explain to him the old problem of the goose in the bottle. If a man puts a gosling into the bottle, he said, and feeds the gosling through the bottle's neck until it grows and grows and becomes a goose and then there is simply no more room inside the bottle, how can the man get it out without killing the goose or breaking the bottle?
RIKO! shouted Nansen, and gave a great clap with his hands.
Yes master! said Riko with a start.
See! said Nansen. The goose is out!

Feb. 4, 2012
PITTSBURGH--Canton added more Pitt Blue and Gold today with the announcement that defensive end Chris Doleman and running back Curtis Martin were named to the 2012 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
Doleman was a dominating defensive end for the Panthers from 1981-84 and went on to become one of pro football's all-time leading pass rushers in 15 NFL seasons. Martin played at Pitt from 1991-94 before embarking on a prolific rushing career that spanned 11 active NFL seasons.
"I thank my family. I'm blessed to have the family that I have, to be able to play in the National Football League, coming from great parents," Doleman said. "There are so many things I can talk about, great coaches along the way ... guys who have helped me become the man that I am out there on the football field - and in life. I am truly blessed to be in this position and very honored."
"The way I feel about this, it's probably the most humbling feeling that I've had in my entire career," Martin said. "I feel tremendously grateful for all of the players that I've played with and all of the coaches that have coached me and been part of my entire career."
It is the second time in three years that Pitt has had two inductees in the same class. In 2010, offensive lineman Russ Grimm and linebacker Rickey Jackson were inducted together. The Panthers will now have eight total inductees in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Doleman (2012), Martin (2012), Grimm (2010), Jackson (2010), quarterback Dan Marino (2005), running back Tony Dorsett (1994), tight end Mike Ditka (1988) and linebacker Joe Schmidt (1973).
Pitt's total of eight Pro Football Hall of Famers ranks tied for third among all colleges, trailing only Southern California (11) and Notre Dame (10). The Panthers are tied with Ohio State and Michigan.
Boasting incredible longevity and durability, Doleman was an eight-time Pro Bowler, including six times with the Minnesota Vikings and one berth each as a member of the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers. He was a first-team All-Pro three times and was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1990s. Doleman ranked fourth in NFL history with 150.5 career sacks when he retired in 1999.
While at Pitt, Doleman displayed the athletic and ferocious style that would characterize his pro career. He was part of some of the greatest defenses in school history before going on to be the fourth-overall pick of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Vikings. He had 10 or more sacks in eight different pro seasons. In 1989, he led the NFL with 21 sacks, the fourth-highest single-season total ever. An incredibly disruptive defender, he forced 45 fumbles while recovering 24 during his career.
A third-round draft selection of New England in 1995, Martin spent three years with the Patriots (1995-97) before signing with the New York Jets (1998-2006). He finished his career with an astonishing 14,101 yards to rank fourth all-time among the NFL's career rushing leaders, trailing only Emmitt Smith (18,355), Walter Payton (16,726) and Barry Sanders (15,269). Martin was named to five Pro Bowls.
A Pittsburgh native who attended Taylor Allderdice High, Martin rushed for 2,643 career yards at Pitt despite playing in only two contests during his final campaign in 1994 due to an ankle injury. The highlight of his collegiate career came in the '94 opener when Martin dashed for 251 yards against the Texas Longhorns, setting a Big East single-game rushing record. Martin was a first-team All-Big East running back in 1993 after rushing for 1,075 yards.

Odd spots, itching in Border Collie could be caused by...?
Max has seasonal allergies (chewing feet, hair loss by eyes), but recently has been scratching at his sides at small, black spots. There are at least four or five of them spread out over his sides and belly and are on slightly raised and red bumps.
When I scratch the dots, his leg "goes" (like with a tickle spot). They are the size of small or medium ticks, but they don't appear to be bugs. Any ideas on what this could be or what to do about it?
Max is 4 years old, neutered, and takes 1-2 Benadryl a day for allergies. Energy is normal, appetite is a little low, but that is not uncommon during allergy season.

There's something called Black Spot disease, which is a fungal infection of the skin. But, that usually starts out MUCH larger than what you describe.
It could also be hot spots, which sometimes have a black dot, but that is usually in the middle of a huge red patch.
I'd take the dog to the vet (gosh, each of my answers in this category start contain the vet recommendation!)
Since you mention the red spots as well, I'm thinking it could be some type of atypical dermatitis or something like that.
Are they raised dots, or are they flush to the skin? I'd think that if they are raised, they could actually be ticks, or some other type of bug and they are just really small. I had an episode once where I thought a tick was a tiny scab on my dog's ear. It certainly didn't look anything like a tick usually does. But, it was!
Yeah, I think you're right about the appetite thing being more related to allergy season. Just being uncomfortable can make them finicky eaters....

Hi Maxwell - Jack is also very smart and I'd like to just tell you the same things he's said. I'm lucky 'cause I really don't seem to have any seasonal allergies, but I hear a lot about them and know it can be awful. Go to the vet and let them do some skin scrapings and send them to the lab if they can't tell what it is right away.
Hey, are you eating a good simple food for your other allergies? Even though I don't have them, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the venison kibble that I'm getting now and my coat looks awesome. I came from a shelter 6 weeks ago, so this is just the nuts!
Good luck and let us know what your vet thinks this problem is.

Sounds like an infection! You should go see you vet and get some antibiotics.

Once again a sick and frightened American was allowed to purchase high caliber weapons since our Founding Fathers definitely believed each and every colonist should possess weapons of war. Actually, the vast majority of Americans in the 1780s did not have any other weapon but a one shot rifle–and which took time to reload. Elliot Rodger is dead. Santa Barbara's country sheriff, Bill Brown, is furious at lack of resources for the police to work with those who are mentally ill. Friends and family of Elliot had warned the police about the strange behavior of this boy, but Brown noted "a general lack of resources in mental health." After all, we cannot tax the wealthy because to do so would destroy jobs in America. Of course, we need money to pay for jobs in mental health. This was a disturbed young boy, but he was allowed to proceed in life so that he could end the lives of others.
The father of a dead young woman wants to know how a mentally disturbed person in the United States of America can legally purchase 2 Sig Sauer P226 guns and a Glock 34 Long Slide with gobs of ammo in order to blast away? I forgot, it is his 2nd Amendment right to kill and kill and kill. Due to the National Rifle Association we have become a nation which has gone crazy and thus our crazy folk now possess the weapons of craziness.

NEW: K. Michelle Names Lil Kim As Her Rap Alter Ego!
Thanks to K. Michelle she has Lil Kim's verse on "Crush On You" stuck in my head.
It all started when I asked K. Michelle to name a rapper she identifies with since she has so much rapper swag. Let's be honest, she turns up on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta with bascially everyone!
Without a doubt, K sees herself as Lil Kim if she were to be a rapper. The one lyric from Kim that would be her theme song is "I'ma throw shade, if I can't get paid."
We also discuss why she refuses to wear a bra and her new single, "V.S.O.P."

Kickstarter Clone Artspire Teaches Artists Business SkillsBy
Fundraising website Kickstarter makes it easy for creative types to raise money from strangers for art installations, films, CDs, and myriad other projects. Its simplicity is appealing: You post a description of what you want to do, set a fundraising target and deadline, and then get your Facebook friends and Twitter followers to contribute. In 2011 the site handled about $100 million in pledges.
Kickstarter has also inspired dozens of copycat sites, including one called Artspire, which is backed by the New York Foundation for the Arts, a 41-year-old Brooklyn nonprofit that has supported such artists as Meredith Monk, Suzan-Lori Parks, and Spike Lee.
Aware of the chilling effect the financial crisis has had on arts philanthropy, NYFA launched Artspire about a year ago for professional artists whose projects get the foundation's approval. "You began to see traditional funders, whether they were foundations or governments, change their priorities, reduce their portfolios, and have less resources themselves," says NYFA Executive Director Michael Royce. "The reduction in available funds for individual artists has been very significant."
In theory, Artspire's donors can have much deeper pockets than the typical Kickstarter enthusiast. Few corporate funders or big foundations, such as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Ford Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation, give directly to individuals, preferring instead to go through tax-exempt groups like NYFA. Artspire allows them to designate funds directly to projects they like, and it allows artists to solicit money from big donors more easily. (Friends and others can also make small donations via Artspire, just as they can on Kickstarter.)
So far, this advantage hasn't translated into Kickstarter-like numbers: Some 320 artists have raised $4.6 million through Artspire, which takes an 8 percent cut of donations to help pay NYFA's 20 full-timers and 10 part-timers. Kickstarter waits until projects achieve their funding target to take its 5 percent cut, and its payment processor also charges credit-card fees of roughly 3 percent to 5 percent, according to the site.
Royce says a goal of Artspire is to get artists to think of themselves as entrepreneurs. "We do believe in giving artists direct grants to give them the time to engage in the creative process," says Royce. "But we also know it's critically important to give them professional development training in entrepreneurial skills … to be successful in their business." Artists using the site are encouraged to enroll in courses on intellectual property rights, marketing strategy, and financing, and call NYFA's expert hotline for expert advice, among other resources. Says Royce: "We give them the infrastructure that Kickstarter doesn't give them."

Minor Matters of Etiquette
Vinaya also extends into the realm of convention and custom. Such observances, which it mentions, are not 'rules' but skillful means of manifesting beautiful behaviour. In monasteries, there is some emphasis on such matters as a means of establishing harmony, order and pleasant relationships within a community. Lay people may be interested in applying such conventions for their own development of sensitivity, but it should not be considered as something that is necessarily expected of them.
Firstly, there is the custom of bowing to a shrine or teacher. This is done when first entering their presence or when taking leave. Done gracefully, at the appropriate time, this is a beautiful gesture, which honours the person who does it; at an inappropriate time, done compulsively, it can appear foolish to onlookers. Another common gesture of respect is to place the hands so that the palms are touching, the fingers pointing upwards and the hands held immediately in front of the chest. This is a pleasant means of greeting, bidding farewell, saluting the end of a Dharma talk or concluding an offering.
Body language is something that is well understood in Buddhist cultures. Apart from the obvious reminder to sit up for a Dharma talk rather than loll or recline on the floor one shows a manner of deference by ducking slightly if having to walk between a monk and the person he is speaking to. Similarly, one would not stand looming over a monk to talk to him or offer him something, but rather approach him at the level at which he is sitting.
"Good is restraint in body,
restraint in speech is good,
good is restraint in mind,
everywhere restraint is good;
the bhikkhu everywhere restrained
is from all dukkha free."

"Brewing is a craft, the product of good ingredients and good practice."
It sounds like a dream summer trip: a scenic train journey that incorporates short walks in the Cumbrian fells, accompanied by foaming pints of local ale. Arthur Ransome or Beatrix Potter, who both wrote tales of idyllic summers in the Lake District, could have invented it.
But it's real. Real Ale by Rail, a rail trail backed by First TransPennine Express, sets out to showcase local brewers, while supporting sustainable travel. The seven-mile trail runs along the glorious Lakes Line, a rural branch line from the mainline train hub of Oxenholme to Windermere at the end of the line.
Cumbria has a rich heritage of artisan brewing since the 1830 Beerhouse Act first gave rise to a proliferation of local brew houses. Today, there are some 840 independent brewers in the UK, according to the Campaign for Real Ale, and, of these, 30 or so are based in Cumbria.
Craft beer
My first stop is the Hawkshead Brewery, one of the new breeds of Cumbrian craft breweries, which relocated to the picture-postcard village of Staveley in 2006. The brewery produces a range of permanent and seasonal beers.
'We're doing our best to change the image of real ale. We now stage two beer festivals per year and it's not all beards and bellies. About half the drinkers are female,' enthuses brewer Alex Brodie, supping a pint of the award-winning Windermere Pale. I join him on the leather sofas in the cavernous tasting hall with a pint of dark, malty Brodie's Prime and a plate of Welsh rarebit from the next-door café, Wilf's.
'There are now lots of microbrewers playing around with hops to produce fruity, hoppy beers,' he adds. 'In the same way that New World wine producers took the fear away from wine by talking about the grape, we're now talking about hops.'
Hidden gems
My taste buds suitably teased, I continue exploring the hop-flavoured trail. There are nine featured pubs along the route, all but one within a short walk of the stations, and some attached to specialist microbreweries. Each one has its own unique appeal - from a swift lunchtime half of Jennings Cumberland at the Station Inn in Oxenholme, to a pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord at The Elleray in Windermere.
A particular revelation is the Watermill Inn, nestled in the bucolic village of Ings. It's a bit further to walk than the others, but worth it. The cottage-industry microbrewery was founded in 2006 as an add-on to the family pub, and won the Good Pub Guide Beer Pub of the Year in 2011. It now produces an eight-beer portfolio and serves another eight beers on tap from other brewers.
'Brewing is a craft, the product of good ingredients and good practice,' explains the softly spoken brewer Brian Coulthwaite as we sit on the outdoor terrace with pints of Collie Wobbles and views across the rolling, sheep-grazing fields to Windermere.
A place to stay
A good base is the Riverside Hotel, a recently refurbished hotel overlooking the banks of the River Kent and just a short walk into Kendal. The Sanctuary Bar serves Cumberland sausage and mash washed down with Hawkshead Bitter, while the terrace is great for a summer evening sundowner. Alternatively, Beech House is a contemporary but homely five-room B&B with lots of nice touches, such as tea trays with Kendal mint cake in each room. The sign down the road at the old Beast Banks Post Office commemorates Postman Pat, Cumbria's favourite postie and cat lover, who was born here in 1978 in the house where the author John Cunliffe lived. And, while you're in town, check out what's on at The Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal. It's a great place to round off the evening with some live music, a film or dinner before catching the train home.

Questions about Omni Clearcoat and Buffing out orangepeel.
Hey, Ive been reading through this forum for a while now and people here have already helped me out so much with my first few paint jobs. Here lately ive painted a few cars that i ended up wet sanding and buffing the orange peel out to get a nice smooth finish.
My first problem is that after i compound the wet sanding scratches out i have a bad haze across the panel, ive used meguiars swirl and haze remover but it doesnt seem to help much at all. However i bought some meguiars scratchX and rub it on by hand and it seems to hide the scratches and hazing for a day or so. Ive tryed 3m,meguairs and some other brands of haze removers and just cant seem to get the finish swirl and haze free..
My second question is I have been spraying Ppg Omni clearcoat and was wondering others thoughts on the strength of the clear. I cant even wash the cars without them swirling bad, ive tryed alot of different washing techniques using microfiber towels and different chami's (dont know how to spell that lol) but Everything scratches the surface and when i try to polish the scratches out it will look better until i run a clean microfiber towel over the surface to get the extra polishing compound off then it'll just be scratched up again..
Im really lost and need help so if anyone has any ideas please let me know, Thanks!
As far as I know there is no real way to remove swirl marks from the buffer. Of course there are ways to minimize them using the right compound, and buffer.
The quickest way to hide the swirl marks, for a car show, or a few days is to use Meguiars number 7 car glaze. It will hide the swirl marks, but it won't remove them. It does work, but I believe there are also other brand glazes like 3m you could use that would work just the same.
first you are using a 2nd line clear. made for car lot work. 2nd there is more to buffing than painting. you need the right equipment and products. believe it or not i use nothing by 3m or mequiars . i buy from the chemical guys and have for many years.
Yeah im new to buffing and don't know any good products.. Ive tried reading numerous threads but everyone always uses something different and just confuses me more.
Ive heard from a lot of people that the omni clear is actually better then the normal ppg clear in that it lays down smoother and buffs better.
Thanks for the replys though!
what Omni clear?
what buffing pad you using?
either use wool then switch to foam polishing pads or start out with foam compounding pad then switch.
i have used several Omni clears on repair work and never experienced this before.
1500 with foam or wool pad 3m compound,then switch to swirl mark remover 3m with blue polishing pad.that's all ive used and it never leaves marks.
even on Black colored rigs
is the clear set-up good?(still to soft)
mc270 - 4-1 clear, mc161 is 2-1 clear
with that said its at best 2nd line clear and not worthy of anything imo other than small repair work.
hope this helps,Travis
this is not TRUE at all imo,low grade clear.
lays down not nearly as good as PPGs upper lines.
its all about the painter and his equipment also
you fellas really out to give up on these cheap line clears and get some SPI products.
im not spamming them i switched to there stuff a while back and i have used Dupont for 15 years and PPG for 6-7 and nothing they have will compare
that has been my overall experience wish i would have dont it a lot sooner.
if you choose to stick with low grade clears you will always have problems
go to chemical guys.com . all they sell is detailing equipment and supplies . beats anything 3m sells and has for years. IF you use all the grits sanding you should not need a wool pad or aggressive compound. when someone tells you to hit it with 1500 then buff stop listening . i use every grit. that is why they make them.
Well im going to start using a better clear then.
Any advice on which clear to use? Ill probably try the PPg clear out on a small test panel and see how i like it.
Thanks for everyones help.
UV clear
i have used gallons of PPG clear and Omni.
nothing compares
as far as better compounds i don't know.
as far as using finer grits i don't know
i have gotten great results with 1500 and buffing steps,but then again my work doesn't go to fine shows well maybe a few wallys,but then again i don't care,if it sells and they like it that's what pays my bills
like i said . stop listening .
better still use 2000 just before buffing ... the finer grits cut better kinda like using a hacksaw to cut a metal bolt...
ever cut a bolt with a regular "wood" tooth saw ?
never listen to anyone who tells you not to listen ... ever .
you got one ...use it
