In the past, when people are not much concerned about the concept of healthy lifestyle, the term "vegetarian" seemed eccentric and faddish. But as people learned about the value of achieving well-being through a good lifestyle, the vegetarian lifestyle became something a lot of people want to try - whether to lose weight or prevent and heal diseases.
With various restaurants offering strictly vegetarian food and different promotional campaigns of this lifestyle, it is no doubt that vegetarian diet and lifestyle has become a crusade to many health conscious individuals and organizations. Turning vegetarian does not only suit people who have certain diseases or need to follow religious conviction. Turning vegetarian has a lot of benefits to a person's overall health and well-being.
When one eats vegetarian food, it means he abstains from meat, some more rigid vegetarians called vegan do not even eat products from animals such as dairy and eggs. While some other less rigid vegetarians include fish and/or eggs and dairy products to their diet. To fulfill their protein requirement, vegetarians eat beans and soy bean curd. Aside from protein, soy bean curd is good in preventing development of cancer to one's body. Isoflavones in soya is also good in fighting heart diseases, stroke, and osteoporosis.
Cancer has been among the diseases which cause death to millions worldwide. Turning vegetarian is a good way of fighting of or even preventing the development of such disease. Aside from cancer, heart disease is another growing concern in the health industry. Due to poor lifestyle and diet, many people develop certain heart problems. To prevent having such problems, it is advised that one should shift to active lifestyle and vegetarian diet. In several studies, it was found out that regular intake of fruits and a vegetable reduces mortality from heart disease.
Moreover, studies also show that people who are permanent vegetarians have improved overall health condition and well-being aside from being free from many diseases. Stroke and Diabetes are among diseases connected to bad habit and lifestyle. Being a vegetarian also is a good way to fight off these diseases. When a person consumes more nuts and whole grains, his chances of acquiring diabetes also lessens.
A vegetarian improves his well-being with the food he consumes. Vegetarian food is usually composed of berries, grains, beans and nuts. Eating these kinds of food regularly bring enough energy, vitamins and nutrients, so one will feel energized without having to consume other nutrient sources such as animal meat and fish. Moreover, studies show that inclusion of legumes to one's diet will dramatically lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as improve blood sugar control. Various kinds of nut on the other hand, are perfect source of potassium, vitamin E, magnesium, folic acid, and dietary fiber which are important in improving a person's overall health.
If you are considering of sticking to a vegetarian diet to make yourself healthier and avoid various diseases, it might be quite difficult at first. But in the long run, you would definitely benefit from it.

180gr VS 165gr .40S&W which is better?
I have been reading up on ammo for my Glock 23 which will be used for defense in the woods. I always thought the 180gr was best for close encounters with attacking animals such as bears or mountain lions. But I ran into this article which really doesn't say what is best for my situation but does feel 180gr is probably not the best choice. After reading it, I got to thinking it may be right. But then, I don't totally trust what one person feels and sometimes numbers don't mean a thing in real life. What do you think?
Why the 180gr Bullet is a Bad Choice for .40 S&W
The original design of the .40S&W cartridge called for a one hundred and eighty grain (180gr) bullet pushed down a barrel with a 1-in-16 twist to a muzzle velocity between 950 and 980 feet per second (fps). This matched the "FBI Lite" or "medium velocity" 10mm loads that were becoming popular at that time.
However, in the years that followed, experience and experiment have shown that the standard 180gr bullet weight is not the best choice for .40S&W handguns. Because of the relatively small cartridge case and long bullet, this particular combination does not maximize the .40s potential.
The official industry pressure specification for .40S&W is 35,000 pounds per square inch, just like the 9mm.
A 10mm brass case is approximately 0.992" long, while new .40 brass is only 0.850" long; the difference is 0.142 inches. Since the size of the 180gr bullet remains constant, there is significantly less space inside the .40S&W case than the 10mm case when loaded. That means theres much less room for error, since pressures build more quickly in that small space. Also, the 10mm was designed for a peak mean pressure higher than the .40 which means the 10mm brass is engineered to handle greater pressure than the .40 case.
As mentioned above, the .40S&W was never intended to be a high-pressure round like the .357 Magnum, 10mm, or 357SIG. In fact, the SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) specification for the .40S&W is the same as the 9mm spec (35kpsi). Furthermore, there is no such thing as "+p" ammunition for the .40S&W. Manufacturers claiming to produce "+p" .40S&W ammunition are either lying (the ammo is really within standard pressure allowances) or taking risks with your life. Using ammunition rated over SAAMI spec in a .40S&W handgun is very dangerous and should not be attempted.
However, because of the deep-seated 180gr bullets, there is very little extra case volume left after powder and bullet are added to the case. Even the smallest variation in bullet seating or powder volume drastically affects the volume of space inside the case where the chemical reaction occurs which builds the pressure which sends the bullet down the barrel. These minor variations, therefore, make it very easy to get an overpressure situation with a 180gr bullet. The table below shows how dramatically peak pressures increase when the bullet is seated too deeply.
Overall Length
1.140" 26,195 psi
1.130" 27,521 psi
1.120" 29,079 psi
1.115" 29,924 psi
1.100" 32,900 psi
1.075" 39,641 psi
1.050" 50,954 psi
1.040" 57,926 psi
1.030" 66,890 psi
1.020" 80,345 psi
1.010" 101,286 psi
1.000" 138,744 psi
Standard OAL for the .40S&W is 1.120" ... table data from "Handloading" by Charles E. Petty, American Handgunner Jan/Feb 1998, p41.
For this reason, most factory .40S&W 180gr ammunition is loaded a little on the weak side. In order to keep a given load below SAAMI specification for mean pressure, the rounds have to be loaded below their optimal performance level. Why? Because factory ammo is subject to these same minor variations. If companies produced ammunition which was, on average, maximum pressure, every once and a while a round would be significantly OVER pressure. Because such over pressure rounds are unacceptable, the average round has to be "dropped down" a notch in power so there is a wider envelope of safe operation.
This "reduced power" problem is easily seen when the 180gr .40 is compared to the 165gr bullets in the same caliber. While experience tells us that, for any particular caliber and pressure standard, heavier bullets have more momentum (as measured by an IPSC Power Factor) than lighter bullets, this is not the case for the .40S&W an average 180gr load moves at around 975fps and as a PF of 175.5; an average 165gr load at 1,130fps has a PF of 186.5, a VERY big difference denoting significantly greater momentum (as well as energy).
Some "average" Power Factors:
9mm 115gr 1160fps
9mm+p 115gr 1250fps 143.8
.40SW 135gr 1300fps 175.5
.40SW 165gr 1100fps 181.5
.40SW 180gr 960fps 172.8
357SIG 125gr 1300fps 162.5
.357Mag 125gr 1450fps 181.3
.38Spl+p 158gr 890fps 140.6
.45ACP 230gr 850fps 195.5
.45ACP+p 185gr 1140fps 210.9
.44Mag 240gr 1180fps 283.2
As a side note, the full-power 165gr .40S&W has about the same momentum as most factory .45ACP ammunition out of a barrel of the same length.
Rate of twist affects how quickly the bullet spins as it leaves the barrel. A 1-in-16 twist means that the bullet will spin one full rotation in 16 inches. So, a 1-in-14 twist (bullet rotates once in 14 inches) is "faster" than 1-in-16. Barrels are designed this way because bullets are spin stabilized, just like a football when you throw a good spiral.
Some folks in the ammunition industry have mentioned to me that one problem with the .40 and 180gr bullets is related to the 1-in-16 barrel twist used in these guns. The experts have been able to perform their own tests with alternative barrels and, with the 180gr bullets, have achieved greater accuracy and velocity (one source safely and consistently made around 1,050fps with a 180gr bullet with a 1-in-14 twist) when using something other than the 1-in-16.
THE kB! PHENOMENON
Another bit of evidence pointing toward the mismatch of .40S&W and the 180gr bullet comes from Dean Speirs extensive research into the kB! ("kaboom") phenomenon, especially with Glock handguns. Due to their partially unsupported chambers, .40S&W Glocks tend to work the web of brass cases more than usual. Constant reworking of the brass by reloaders (who put the brass through a cycle of expansion and resizing each time) weakens the web.
According to Mr. Speir, the vast majority of kB!s reported with .40S&W handguns have occurred when firing 180gr bullets.
So here you have a chamber design which is not as supportive as it could be, and a load (the full power 180gr .40) which has a tendency towards major pressure fluctuations. Add to this mix brass which has been aged prematurely due to the extra work at the web and its easy to see that a particularly unlucky brass could be the unlucky home of one of the high-end pressure spikes and result in a kB!
For more information about the kB! phenomenon, see The kB! FAQ located at at this site.
Most manufacturers have begun producing 165gr loads for the .40S&W now. While some load them light for "reduced recoil" (such as Federals 165gr HydraShok and Speers 165gr Gold Dot), other companies are squeezing the maximum potential from the bullet by pushing it to the neighborhood of 1,100 to 1,150fps out of a standard 4" barrel. As mentioned above, this results in more momentum and energy downrange as well as less risk of pressure fluctuations. And because of the reduced variation in pressure, 165gr loads tend to be the most accurate in .40S&W handguns, as well.
In my humble opinion, the 165gr is the proper choice for people who normally choose the "slow and heavy" bullets for defensive use. The FBI apparently agrees, as they broke their long standing tradition of using the heaviest bullets available when they approved two .40S&W rounds for use by agents, both of them 165 grainers.
The 165gr is really the optimum choice for .40S&W shooters. It tends to be more accurate, have greater muzzle energy and momentum, and it significantly reduces the dangers associated with possible bullet setback (a bullet can, through normal handling, seat itself more deeply just by being loaded into the chamber of a gun, etc). I think you'll see the 180gr loads become less and less popular as time goes on, and within a few years the 165gr will be the standard for the .40S&W, while the 180gr will be all but extinct.

You are overthinking it. You are not going to be attacked by a Bear and if you are attacked by a Mt Lion, you will not see it coming. In the extremely unlikely event that you ever need to draw your glock, you will be using it point blank and the bullet you use will not matter much.
Opt for the lighter bullets, cuz your Glock will just be dead-weight while hunting....

Having loaded up every weight of bullet you talked about, I prefer the 180gr being pushed down the tube by 6.7gr. of Power Pistol giving me around 980fps or 176PF. With a little extra powder you can easily hit a PF of180+. The lighter bullets all shot fine but there was a much more noticeable recoil, more of a crack with the lighter bullets and a thump with the heavier bullets. For punching paper at the range I've gone to 6.0gr PP.
The small difference in the PF is probably only on paper. I don't think if you were to shoot someone they are going to shake it off because your PF was down a few points!

Rocklin ehh?
My XD .40 loves 180gr. It does well on 165gr, but does NOT like anything less than 165gr. As in I ran a box of 155/150gr (I don't recall which it was) and had two fail to feeds and a stove pipe. This is after ~2000 rounds.
I second AAShooter in that you should run a couple of boxes of different grains and see which holds a better pattern for you. And then make sure that your SD choice of bullets works the same at that bullet weight. I think it was a Winchester brand of hollow points at 165gr that shot completely different out of my XD than a box of 165gr Winchester ball.
I do have a box of 180 and also 165. I get my Glock 23 thursday so I will shoot a box of each and see what the best outcome is. Like I said, Numbers equal the 165 like the article reads but I am more of a seat of the pants person so what ever feel good and preforms the best is what I will carry. I just found it interesting that the writer felt 165 was better than the 180. I was under the impression that the .40S&W Glock liked the 180 and not the 165? But I am a Glock newbee so still getting educated.
It's ok to be jealous. We understand your animosity. We live the life you wish you had. And of over 4000 universities and over 1700 division 1 schools, only one is simply known as "The U"
I load 180gr bullets almost exclusively in 10mm and 40S&W, they work fine in both calibers.
I think you will get better Muzzle Energy (not to be confused with Power Factor) from a 165gr bullet when loading 40S&W. In general, with pistol calibers, you get more muzzle energy as you go lighter because velocity plays an outsized role in this calculation (unlike PF where bullet weight has equal weight with velocity). Muzzle energy is not the be all end all as bullet weight plays a roll in penetration and heavier is usually better in that capacity. These relationships are not linear and there is usually a sweet spot on the curve for any given loading.
As far as all that case head support nonsense with Glocks, if you load your rounds to published maximums, you will not have a problem in any bullet weight you might buy. I load .45 Super for my G21 using the stock barrel (one of the worst for lack of case head support in a current generation Glock) and have not even had a smile until well past Hodgdon maximums for Longshot.
My advice as far as bullet weight for your 40, get what is on sale and use powder manufacturer load data.

I use 165grn plated bullets sitting on a nearly full case of bluedot (just barely compressed, but even with heavy compression bluedot handles well). It cycles my beretta's brigadier slide without issue. I'd probably not run anything lighter while using bluedot, but i'd gladly go heavier.
I am a heavy for caliber guy, then again that is just my preference
I do like playing with this sites bullet energy calculator
for defense, the more energy the better
I will share my opinion and my load data, BUT I am just a guy with too many cigars and too many guns. Whatever I say is probably wrong.
I went through a similar thought process when I started reloading .40S&W and saw how much of the case was occupied by a 180gr bullet. Well, actually, I first got thinking in that direction when I noticed notably stronger recoil from Fiocchi 165gr JHP than from the Fed Champion 180gr FMJ. But then, I shot some Rem 180gr JHP, and it also produced a stronger recoil.
On the other hand, Hodgdon is comfortable quoting 1159 fps for the 180gr XTP driven by 8gr of Longshot at 1.125" COAL at 32,300 psi.
He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.

I tend to ignore the power factor numbers when going to a heavier bullet. Typically, the increased weight will result in deeper penetration. Yes, there are exceptions but in the 40 S&W and loaded to hot loads, I believe the heavier bullet will provide the best penetration from the .40 cal handgun. In reality, there isn't much difference between them in a handgun becuase we aren't talking about much of a difference in velocity like a rifle round.
I contacted MagTech who makes a 40PS which is a 180gr .40cal FMJ FN that has a velocity of 1050 fps and energy of 442 lb. Price runs from around $18 to $20 for a box of 50. Problem is they are all sold out everywhere and not in production until next February. But it sounds like a good fit for protection in the woods for me and my G23.

I've shot 200 gr bullets for years in my Para .40. Never had an issue.
Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

Computer rental is a growing trend due to the convenience and affordability of this smart option. Buying a computer just isn't the best choice for everyone. Sometimes your technology needs dictate another solution. To determine whether computer rental might be a better option for you, check out these reasons to rent!
Avoid the Big Price Tag: Perhaps the most obvious reason to avoid buying a new computer is the amount of money you need to pay for a new machine. Buying a new laptop or desktop will cost you hundreds of dollars up front, money you could save by renting rather than buying.
Don't Watch Your Investment Depreciate: When you invest money in something, you expect that money to pay off. However, most computers last for three to five years, meaning the money you pay for the machine now will be gone for good in no time at all. Why not rent a computer and put your extra money in a savings account?
Maintaining Your Machine: When you rent a computer, the maintenance of the equipment is the responsibility of the rental company. However, when you buy computer equipment, you're often stuck paying expensive repair bills and struggling with difficult-to-understand manuals. Keep it simple and rent instead.
Don't Worry About Storage: Storing unused computer equipment takes up a lot of valuable space, not to mention the fees for storage rental. Instead of hassling with finding safe storage and watching your investment sit on a shelf, look into rental instead. When you aren't using a machine, you can simply send it back.
No Need for Taxes: When you buy computer equipment, you have to pay taxes and licensing fees. For individuals and small businesses, these fees can eat into your bottom line. When you rent a computer, you aren't responsible for licensing fees or taxes, and that can add up to a significant cost savings.
Avoid the Cost of Obsolescence: Technology is constantly evolving, and as soon as you buy a computer, it is out of date. Why spend good money for something that won't be top of the line in a couple of months? Instead, computer rental offers a great alternative. When you don't own the machine, obsolescence isn't your problem.
Don't Pay for Disposal: You're probably heard that you can't just throw a computer in the garbage. These machines contain hazardous materials that can hurt the environment if they are not properly recycled. Fees are charged for this service. If you rent, rather than buy, you avoid this added expense.
Don't Deal with Downtime: When equipment breaks down, you can't use it for business. This is one hidden cost of owning your own computer equipment. When you rent a computer, you can simply alert the provider to your problem and have a new computer sent out right away.
Great Technical Support: Computer rental makes good sense when you think about the technical support you will receive. Owning your own computer means owning your own support issues. When you rent, you have a team of experts standing by to help you understand the ins and outs of the machine. This has a major impact on productivity and dramatically reduces your level of frustration.
Perfect for Temporary Employees: Having a lot of temporary employees can make it difficult to predict the number of computer stations you will need. Stocking technical equipment for a fluctuating staff can be a nightmare. Instead, rent work stations for these employees and eliminate the difficult task of predicting needs and stocking equipment.

All Three Yale Boats Still In Hunt
GOLD RIVER, Calif. – A long day for the Yale women's crew became a little longer than expected, but the end result was well worth the wait. Both the second varsity eight and varsity four earned spots in the semifinals following the afternoon repechege session.
The varsity four did it the conventional way, finishing third in the repechege with a time of 8:00.64, less than a second faster than fourth-place Harvard. The top three finishers qualify for the semis.
The second varsity had a more complicated route. Yale finished fourth in the repechege, but an issue with the scale that weighs the boats has given the Bulldogs new life.
Washington State, which placed third, was ruled to be under weight. Earlier in the day, California, which had won its morning heat, was found to be too light as well, forcing the Bears to compete in the repechege and allowing Michigan State, which had originally placed fourth, to advance.
At the end of the day, the NCAA Division I Rowing Committee concluded it was not comfortable with the integrity of the scales and adjusted the progression of the second varsity eight semifinals. The second semifinal will now have seven boats competing, including Yale.
"I thought the committee came to the only fair resolution it could," said Yale head coach Will Porter. "Now the athletes will get to decide the results on the water."
It brought a conclusion to what was a very emotional day for the second varsity of coxswain Sarah Brownlee, Eliza Hastings, Georgia Separovich, Kathleen O'Keefe, Jen Stockwood, Nikki Grigg, Claire Tolson, Kathryn D'Andrea and Emily Tormey. They had missed automatically advancing in the morning heat by three-tenths of a second and then were less that a second behind Washington State in the repechege.
"We have to go out and take advantage of this opportunity," Porter said. "We had two tough races today, but there are no senior rowers in the crew so it is a chance for them to grow up."
The Bulldogs race California, Stanford, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Washington and Washington State on Saturday at 9:45 a.m. The top three finishers advance to Sunday's grand final.
The varsity four of coxswain Margaret Ayers, Elizabeth Kalina, Alexandra Fields, Brittany Bowman, and Lauren Ross was fourth after 500 meters in the repechege but moved into third at the halfway mark and then held off a late charge from Harvard.
"The varsity four fought very hard to qualify," Porter said. "It's very tough to race twice in the same day here."
Yale will face Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Stanford and Washington State in the semis at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday.
Yale's varsity eight, which qualified for the semifinals in the morning heat, races Brown, Stanford, Michigan State, Washington State and Michigan on Saturday at 9:15 a.m.

Automatic movement

CHF 8'900.- Info
With its refined aesthetics, the Tonda Métropolitaine cannot fail to impress with its elegance and sobriety. This creation, with its superbly crafted automatic movement, features a modern urban style that embodies today's active woman to perfection.
The Tonda Métropolitaine signature design element is the case made of steel, which is for its look as much as its modernity, with taut lines and a silhouette finer than those of the other great classics from the Manufacture. The subtlety of the design is accentuated by an asymmetrical case that flies in the face of convention. The drop-shaped lugs on the left profile are a hallmark of the brand, with perfect lines inspired by the golden ratio. To the right, the lugs extend to encompass the space around the crown, ensuring that this profile stands out.
On the Tonda Métropolitaine dial, all the information required for a woman in and of her time is clear to see, with indications of hours and minutes, a small second at 6 o'clock, and the date via a wide aperture. This distinctiveness, which is characteristic of the Parmigiani Fleurier style, is practical and most suitable for everyday use of the model, yet brings a touch of elegant originality too.
The elegance of the model is enhanced by the refined appearance of the dial. Its graphic simplicity is conveyed through a wide choice of colours and materials. The dial has a discreet finish known as flinqué. This pattern of concentric waves softens the modern lines of the watch, yet allows for its femininity to reassert itself. The brand's logo majestically sets itself apart in an oval cartouche, while delicately inlaid indices and Arabic numerals mark the hours.
Automatic movement
The Calibre PF310 is an automatic-winding mechanical movement whose dimensions (23.9 mm diameter) are perfectly suited to a woman's watch. The sheer excellence of its design is magnified by superb finishes, with bridges angled by hand and "Côtes de Genève" decoration. Its two series-coupled barrels ensure 50 hours of autonomous operation. Its pendulum beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.
Comprised of 189 components, it allows for the display of hours, minutes, a small second and the date.

sunday - some nyc photos
vintage levi shorts, vintage shoes, h&m top
alex and i went to the flaming lips show on friday at jones beach in long island and it was amazing! it was pouring rain and we got there an hour late, but luckily they didn't start till after we got there. it was actually a joint concert between flaming lips and weezer and i've never seen anything like it. they switched off every few songs and then they played a finale together. it was amazing. we also had no plan on how to get back to the city (about 45 minutes away) but we saw a coach bus in the parking lot, so we walked up and asked where it was going, and it was magically going back to the city! so we paid for a ticket and it turned out it was kind of a party bus… so it was a lot of fun!
we leave for lollapalooza on thursday! i set up interviews with some bands and i'll be taking street-style shots and making a little video for vogue.com of the event so look out for that next weekend! i'll try to post a link once it goes live on the site :)
i also stopped by the new BLK DNM store in soho and took a few pics of the place. i really like the feel of it. i think i want to start taking a bunch of pics of designer stores in new york and paris. their interiors are so great.
let me know if there are any great bands i should definitely see at lollapalooza!! :)

I would check out Explosions of the Sky, Ellie Goulding (she would probably be interesting for a fashion bit of some sort),Boy & Bear, and I shot Cage the Elephant once and their lead singer puts on a great show, fun to photograph. Mayer Hawthorne is also a pretty suave guy, pretty awesome to photograph I'd think.
Have fun :)

Besides,Birkenstock Sandal could make you become the focus in public. Come on,a best opportunity knocks but once. Birkenstock Arizona Sandals
The Foot Health Benefits of Birkenstock Sandals, Shoes and Clogs
The Birkenstock tradition of quality craftsmanship goes back more than 225 years. Crafted in Germany, our footwear is created using only premium products and materials. Starting with high-grade leather, suede, nubuck, and non-leather uppers, we dye our materials all the way through for a lasting look. Birkenstock footwear also includes our unique contoured footbed, shock-absorbing soles and specially designed buckles for years of comfort and durability. Almost every component of our footwear can be repaired or replaced, making Birkenstock footwear a long-lasting investment in the health of your feet.
The Birkenstock Footbed
Birkenstock footbeds are made of cork and natural latex, and contoured in the shape of a healthy foot. These contours ensure proper weight distribution with raised arches to help support the foot's natural shape and structure. The toe bar allows the toes to grip and flex, stimulating circulation, exercising the leg, and helping to maintain balance. The deep heel cup keeps the foot's natural padding under the heel to provide stability. As a result of these factors, the correct bones bear the weight of the body to keep the spine and legs in alignment.
Firm Support For Your Feet
It would make sense to think that a softer and more "cushiony" shoe would be more comfortable. But in fact, the Birkenstock concept of comfort is based on firm, orthopedically correct support. As with a quality mattress, feet require solid support and correct positioning providing maximum comfort and health. Our footbed features proper arch support, a deep heel cup, and adequate room in the toe area – all to help distribute weight evenly for the entire foot. The result is improved posture and balance for greater comfort when walking.
Our Contoured Footbed Encourages Foot Health
The Birkenstock footbed is made of resilient cork/latex and is shaped to create a healthy walking environment for your feet. Additionally, the cork/latex blend is pliable and reacts to natural body warmth. Therefore, over time, the footbed yields to the characteristics of an individual foot. Many long-term Birkenstock wearers find that the longer you wear them, the more comfortable they become. The shape of a Birkenstock follows the contours of a healthy foot.
Unique in its kind
The essence of all our shoe models is the original BIRKENSTOCK footbed, which is inspired by the natural imprint of a foot in the sand and feels just like walking barefoot. Its anatomical shape ideally supports the natural walking action of your foot. Your feet, joints and back are protected. At the same time, your foot and leg muscles are exercised, and your health and well-being benefit as a result.

Unsurpassed comfort for very sensitive feet
The BIRKENSTOCK footbed mirrors the anatomy of the foot so that bodyweight is distributed in a natural and balanced way across the entire sole of the foot. This way the foot receives perfect support in its biomechanical rolling motion. We offer some styles with integrated soft-footbed for very sensitive feet. The development of this footbed has taken BIRKENSTOCK years of thorough and intensive work. An additional layer of foamed natural rubber is placed in between the flexible cork-latex mix which is surrounded by durable natural jute and the suede leather liner. This layer features an extremly high degree of rebound capacity which permits long-lasting cushioning.

talking with... Antonio Carluccio
I must confess, I have a soft spot for the man. I find him engaging, warm and infectiously enthusiastic when he's talking about food, and for that he gets a very big tick in my book. I've probably watched all his TV series over the years, and there's something about his avuncular demeanour that I just can't help but be drawn to.
But just as importantly, I'm a fan of his food – the food that characterises the cafe chain that still bears his name, and for which he still acts on a consultancy basis, and which fills several of the recipe books he's penned.
I spoke to him very briefly following the publication of his latest book, Antonio Carluccio's Simple Cooking, and had the chance to fire some rather random questions at him, related to the book. Between limited time, a poor mobile reception, no voice recorder, and my hearing loss (more about that another time), it wasn't the easiest – but this is what I managed to salvage....
What, I asked him, was the inspiration for Simple Cooking?
It was partly the times we live in, he replied, in which food has become over fussy and complicated. He felt a need to pare it all back, and to make it simple and enjoyable again. Equally, though, he felt that it was the right time to gather together some of his favourite recipes and put them into one book.
Is there anything or any particular moment that he could remember sparking his deep love for food?
His mother was a very good cook, he said, and his father a good critic! He and his siblings were always closely involved with 'food production' in the Carluccio household, so it was natural for him to enjoy helping his mother and to be around food. He was often asked to go and gather ingredients from outside as well as help prepare things in the kitchen. What really changed and shaped his attitude towards food, however, was the time he spent studying in Vienna as a student. There, he became self-reliant, cooking for himself, and then others. Cooking, and sharing the food he cooked with his fellow students and friends, became part of his social agenda and then a hobby which ultimately led him to take up cooking professionally.
His fondness for mushrooms is well known. What would he choose as favourites after mushrooms?
There are so many that it's difficult to choose, he said, but his preference is for typically Mediterranean vegetables, particularly courgettes and aubergines.
And spinach, I asked? What about those famous spinach balls? (One of the most popular dishes on the Carluccio's menu is Penne Giardiniera – pasta with courgette, chilli, and very more-ish deep-fried spinach balls with parmesan and garlic.)
Yes, he loves spinach, too. The spinach balls were created for a friend as a favour, about 25 or so years ago. Carluccio experimented in the kitchen to come up with something new, and so the spinach balls were born.
Some of the recipes in the new book seem more novel, and less typically Italian (what would his mother have thought?), such as the dessert of mango and lime. What lies behind those?
It transpires that Carluccio likes the mango and lime dish very much, not least because it is so simple. The same goes for the other less recognisably Italian recipes, he said – he chose them for their taste and for ease of preparation. They are straightforward, yet taste amazingly good. Those were the principles of cooking that he was brought up on by his mother, and for those very reasons, he is sure she would have approved of the book, even though it is not given over entirely to specifically Italian recipes.
Does he have a personal favourite recipe in the book – one that captures everything he feels that good food, cooking, and fun should be about?
There are too many! But if he had to choose, and aside from the tagliatelle con funghi, it would probably be the giant spaghetti with onion and anchovy sauce (bigoli in salsa di cipolle e acciughe).
And what, I asked him, does he think the future hold, cooking-wise? Is the trend for simple, good food here to stay, or is it just a reflection of the recession?
His answer was immediate: food in the UK had, until a couple of years ago, become far too over-the-top, rich, and fancy. We have come to this juncture quite naturally. While simple food is very 'now', it is certainly something that we are all coming back to, and it is likely to stay around.
Finally, I ventured to ask, what's next in the Carluccio pipeline?
His autobiography is planned for next year, and he may write another book. And he'd consider doing more television if asked!
There are a couple more things I should say before signing off. Despite being in the middle of a whizz-stop tour of the UK to promote his new book, Antonio Carluccio was a joy to speak to. I believe he was getting over a cold at the time, and probably rather tired to boot, but he answered all my questions with unfailing politeness and patience. It genuinely felt like a chat with a long-lost uncle rather than an interview with the man who's arguably done the most to put Italian food on the map in this country over the last 20 years or so. To him, and to Absolute Press, huge thanks. And now, if you don't mind, I'm off for a plate of tagliatelle con funghi.

Carluccio once attended one of our book launches and after sitting quietly for an hour and listening to both the publisher and author deliver cracking little speeches he got up and decided to address everyone as well on how very wonderful our author and her book were... and, of course, completely stole the show! He's always seemed a vey sweet, kind and passionate man.

Monster "Step Ladder" Dunk: Jarret Johnson Puts His Foot Into Ambler's Mouth (Andersion University SC) [College Basketball]
With 3:28 remaining in the second half, Jarret Johnson, a sophomore from Greensboro, N.C., provided the highlight of the college season. The 6-3, 190-pound guard glided over the defenders shoulder on his way to the cup. The dunk was one for the ages, but the celebration was just as classic. Stephen Cobb (no. 44) gives high-fives to random people on the sidelines. Cheerleaders come up to talk trash. The victim (6-6 junior swingman Mason Ambler) just lies on the floor. Not a single teammate comes near to help him up.

Limbaugh Says Trump's NFL Stance Starting To Make Him Nervous
Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh says President Donald Trump's stance on NFL players and the national anthem is starting to make him nervous. Limbaugh agrees with Trump that players who don't stand are disrespecting the anthem, the flag, and the military. But Limbaugh told his huge audience Wednesday that a president should not be able to tell business owners how their employees are going to act.
Limbaugh said he doesn't think any employee anywhere should be forced to do something because the government says they must.

Date: May 3, 2007
Byline: Steven Libowitz
The Wordsmith Cometh
For Will Shortz, creating and solving puzzles — mostly crosswords — has been the driving force of his life. The crossword puzzle editor of The New York Times for the last 15 years, Shortz began writing puzzles while still in grade school, sold his first in his early teens, and then went on to Indiana University to create his own major in enigmatology, the study of puzzles, where he was the first — and so far only student in the nation — to have earned a degree in the field.
Shortz is also the founder and host of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, which this year fielded more than 700 contestants aged 13-89 who spent a weekend doing what most of us only consider a passing hobby. He was featured in last year's documentary film "Wordplay," and has served as the puzzle master on NPR's "Weekend Edition Sunday" since the program began in 1987.
Like nearly all of his work, Shortz's appearance at UCSB on Sunday afternoon will be an interactive one. After a short presentation on how puzzles are constructed, what makes a good crossword, the hobby's history and his personal favorites, Shortz will conduct audience participation games, including "Beat the Champ," a word game made popular on NPR.
Shortz discussed the crossword genre over the telephone from his home office in New York earlier this week.
Q. Why do people love to do puzzles, especially crosswords? Is it the challenge?
A. Crosswords have a pattern of light squares to be filled in, and as human beings we have a natural compulsion to fill empty spaces. There's also the love of language, and other areas that we have studied. Crosswords cross almost every area of life, from classical fields of knowledge to TV, movies, rock & roll and sports. So they are a way to take a huge body of knowledge and turn it into a game. And there's the appeal of seeing a challenge through from the very beginning to the end. There are very few opportunities in life like that — we're faced with all sorts of problems every day, but we get thrown into the middle of them and we just carry them through to the next point where we can bail out and move on. So it's very satisfying to complete a puzzle. It gives you a feeling of control. I think that's why it appeals to a very broad range of people. Research has shown that ten percent of Americans have worked on a crossword puzzle in the last month, more than any other pastime, including video games. That's encouraging.
Puzzle constructors often use reference materials, even the Internet, to create the crosswords. How do you feel about people also using books, or friends, or looking things up online to solve them?
My philosophy is very simple: It's your puzzle, solve it anyway you like. If you get stuck, why not get some help? It may help you learn something. But everybody has his own rules. Some people won't ever look anything up. Others will go there only if they get stuck. And there are those who go online for everything.
When was the last time you made a mistake in a crossword puzzle in The New York Times?
Thankfully, there have been almost none that I know of in the last year. There are four daily blogs on the Times crosswords, so I find out about it quickly when I have one. But here's the biggest one from last year: the clue was "Back-up singers in a 1960s R&B group." The answer was "The MGs." Unfortunately, Booker T. & the MGs were an instrumental band. That just slipped under the radar. Our puzzles are vetted by at least five people before they're printed, and nobody else caught it either.
(Will Shortz will appear this Sunday (May 6) at UCSB's Campbell Hall. Tickets are $35 for general public, $15 for students. For more info call 893-3535.)

The freedom of car hire
Explore at your own pace. Cruise the coastline or pop down to Rotterdam.
Перейти к основному содержимому
Explore at your own pace. Cruise the coastline or pop down to Rotterdam.
A staggering 15,000 bicycles are fished out of the Amsterdam canals every year: perhaps it's time for a road trip. Book car hire in Amsterdam and journey into the Netherlands. In the lowlands, everything is just a few hours away.
There are more cities beyond Amsterdam, of course. Visit friendly Rotterdam or The Hague, the country's political heart. For rural escapes, head to the coastline and the pretty beaches on the North Sea where the locals go in summer. In Waterland and the village of Zaanse Schans, see quintessential windmills tasked with pumping water from the fields. Wander the restful gardens of Keukenhof, where tulips are planted in extraordinary symmetry and bloom in their thousands.
Head just north of Amsterdam and you'll find the wonderfully stereotypical Waterland region, made up of picturesque villages, dykes, canals and of course, windmills. Visit the picturesque village of Broek in Waterland, which was visited by Napoleon in 1811 and has changed little since. Equally charming and worthy of a visit is the fishing village of Volendam, with its historic buildings, bustling harbour and fascinating museum. And who can resist a trip to Edam, home of the delicious cheese, whose famous cheese market in summer has been operating since the 16th century.

Treasure Hunter 3019 Deep Search
The Treasure Hunter 3019 Professional Metal Detector is a game changer! With six highly advanced treasure hunting modes, there is virtually No Treasure Out of Your Grasp!
The 3019 Metal Detector by Treasure Hunter is like the 3030 metal detector on steroids. With a more advanced 32bit Processor, six added modes of operation, deeper penetration, increased sensitivity, and higher discrimination, the Treasure Hunter 3019 Metal Detector is one of the most powerful all-purpose metal detectors on the market today.
The oversized LCD screen will reveal the identity of the target, depth of the target, and pinpoint the target at depths up to 12" for coin sized objects. The 3019 Metal Detectors can detect a silver dollar at 16" depth. This profound depth of detection is coupled with laser precise discrimination, the 3019 metal detector can tell you whether you are hovering over an old wheat penny, or a newer zinc type of penny at depths of 6" or more.
With the extra power, sensitivity, discrimination, and advanced modes of operation, the 3019 Metal Detector can recover coins, relics, jewelry, gold, and other precious metals at greater depths with greater accuracy than ever before.
The Advanced Modes of The 3019 Metal Detector:
All Metals Mode: This mode is the high-sensitivity and no discrimination mode, all metals will be detected in this mode. The sensitivity is fully adjustable in this mode, so you can crank her up and find VERY deep targets. It is important to note, motion is NOT required in this mode so it can be used to help in pinpointing smaller and deeper targets.
Motion Discrimination: This will probably be your most commonly used discrimination mode. This mode requires search head motion and the detector will discriminate with different audible tones and identify the target on the oversized LCD screen. The ground balance is automatic in this mode and the sensitivity and discrimination are fully adjustable.
Automatic Notch Filter: Advanced notch programming; The 3019 deep search detector comes with pre-set programming to search for certain targets. The metal detector can be set to auto-notch for a specific target like silver coins, then it will only detect targets with the phase response of silver. The ground balance is automatic in this mode, and the sensitivity is fully adjustable.
Selective Notch Filter: In addition to automatic settings for certain targets, the notch filter can be manually adjusted as well so that you can tell the 3019 metal detector to detect and specifically desired target. The notch can be set so that the detector can find only silver coins, or only bronze coins. The possibilities are endless, but one must be careful in the notch mode as you can bypass desirable targets that are not in your "notch" setting. The ground balance is automatic or manual, and the sensitivity is adjustable in this mode.
Deep Search with Surface Elimination: This setting is for deep searching and ignoring trash on the surface. This mode is where you can really find some good hidden treasure and can be used in combination with any of the other modes above. This mode is great for the hard to recover, and/or previously missed targets. This feature can be a very powerful treasure hunting tool when combined with the motion discrimination mode, or the notch filters. Using this feature, the 3019 can become a highly specialized tool set to find very specific targets at depths of up to 12".
Pinpointing Mode: Motion is not required in this mode. The detector will give off a steady tone that will increase as you get closer to the target. The LCD will also indicate the location of the target. This mode can use the automatic ground balance, or ground balance can be manual adjusted or finely tuned for advanced pinpointing. Sensitivity and discrimination is fully adjustable in this mode.
With increased processor power, six advanced modes of operation, increased depth, pinpointing, and a customizable notch selection to easily select for any phase response (metal) the 3019 professional metal detector is truly a treasure hunters dream. Pound for pound the 3019 Metal Detector has more advanced features than any other metal detector under $1,000 (aside from the XJ9-3050), and gives a sublime combination of ultra deep search and technical functionality unparalleled in the metal detector market.
Only the highest quality materials, space age carbon lower stem with unbreakable non-metallic nylon connecting hardware to ensure fidelity and solid construction. The 3019 Metal Detector by Treasure Hunter is a world class deep search metal detector.

text: The San Francisco Historical Photograph Collection database grows with recently cataloged scans added and updated monthly. Contributions to the database draw from two sources. The photo curator and staff make selections based on popular subjects with consideration given to subject areas not yet represented in the database and patron requests. The second source derives from the new scans the public orders from the various San Francisco Historical Photograph Collections. When an individual orders a high-resolution scan from the collection, the new scan is cataloged and added to the database.

Visitors at The 3D Printer Experience in River North can have their body scanned while a tiny machine assembles a small plastic replica of their head in a half an hour. They also can design jewelry on a computer program wear it after a few quick minutes. Then there's a display area where they can see a fully functioning violin, medieval-style chainmail glove or a slipper that looks like it once belonged on Cinderella's foot--all made with the same kind of automated technology. It's a lot like being beamed up to a "Star Trek"-like world of the science fiction future, right?
"Well, It's like that, but not quite that amazing yet," said Mike Moceri, co-owner of The 3D Printer Experience, which opened April 22. "We're still sci-fi, but we're not that level yet."
In the meantime, Moceri believes 3D printing, which turns digital renderings on a computer into physical objects, may finally be ready for the mainstream. After years of being hyped at South by Southwest or in the pages of Wired Magazine, but mostly confined behind the closed doors of manufacturing giants like Boeing, the technology has progressively gotten cheaper and easier to use. The 3D Printer Experience, at 316 N. Clark St., represents the first attempt at a retail space in the Midwest that markets it to the masses.
Moceri calls his company a "microbrew of manufacturing," rather than a store--a place designed to learn about, play with and experience 3D printing.
"We're trying to lower the barrier of entry to making things for yourself both hardware and software," he said. "You can't give anyone a complex machine and not give them an easy way to use it, so that's what we're trying to do."
That means customers don't necessarily have to purchase the Up! Mini 3D printers available for sale for $1,000. There are several learning stations where they can examine some of the objects that have been 3D printed, make their own plastic pendant or custom iPhone case, or get scanned by a Microsoft Kinect sensor and print out a bust of themselves (costs for each vary). It's an idea that stemmed from a conversation co-owner Julie Friedman Steele said she had with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak about marketing 3D printing.
"The most important recommendation he had was that people shouldn't feel dumb about it. They should have an experience and be able to touch it and work with it," Friedman Steele said. "The idea is make the experience less scary and more fun."
The gem of the 3D Printer Experience collection is a Formiga P 110 from German company EOS. At a pricey $250,000, the phone-booth sized industrial machine is the first of its kind available for public use in the world, Moceri said. It allows customers the option to print bigger and more elaborate items than the Up! or the MakerBot Replicator—the most common consumer 3D printer.
The EOS printer is what attracted Tiago Justino to the store recently with his laptop in tow. The Institute of Design student wanted to make a physical prototype of a 3D drawing of a tablet he designed for a class project.
"It's pretty amazing because normally I would just make a foam model of it. It's usually too expensive to do something like this," said Justino, 34, of River North. "This allows me know what it's like to feel and hold my tablet and present something in class that people can really see. It's close to the real thing."
Moceri said he's had a lot of practical use out of his 3D printer.
After he assembled his first machine at home, he got a six-pack of beer to celebrate with his roommates but realized he didn't have a bottle opener because they'd just moved into a new apartment.
"So basically, I went online, downloaded a bottle opener and made it with a 3D printer and could open the beer," he said. "It's little things like that are truly incredible. If you find something you need, you can just make it."
But Scott Roberts, a professor of art and animation at DePaul, is skeptical that 3D printing is ready for mass adoption. Some of DePaul's classes have been experimenting with a MakerBot purchased earlier this year, and Roberts said it's been difficult to use and repair.
"It's got a lot of potential, and I think they'll be huge in about seven years, but right now it seems mostly for hobbyists and early adopters," Roberts said. "Right now it's kind of like the internet in 1995. Everyone could see the potential but it still needed to get mass adoption and the infrastructure working to make it happen. Right now, the short-term future for 3D printing is a lot less exciting than it will be."
Robert Mariduena, an industrial designer who uses a 3D printer to create prototypes, thinks the technology is still in a "play around, experimentation phase."
"Once it leapfrogs into a place where we're making final products using these printers instead of just models, it's going to be great," he said. "Imagine instead of going to the Apple Store, you download a file on your computer and print out a part."

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistani security forces blocked former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto from visiting the ousted chief justice of the Pakistan Supreme Court, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, on Saturday.
It was one of the government's latest actions in its crackdown on opponents that began last Saturday when President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency and suspended the constitution.
The office of Pakistani Attorney General Malik Mohammed Qayyum told CNN on Saturday that the emergency declaration will be lifted within one month, but would not say when a formal announcement might come.
Bhutto was allowed to leave her villa compound Saturday after a day of confinement inside her home to thwart a massive opposition rally that had been planned for Friday.
Before trying to visit Chaudhry in Islamabad, Bhutto joined journalists in the capital who were protesting the media blackout.
"I have come to visit the chief justice of Pakistan who is under house arrest," Bhutto told reporters. "I had been told that the chief justice couldn't leave his home but that he was allowed visitors.
"So I came to visit with him and to tell him that my party stood for the independence of the judiciary, but unfortunately it seems that the regime has decided to put barbed wire and barricades to stop my visit."
Pakistani security officials have blocked the road leading to Chaudhry's house with barbed wire and told her "we will not allow you to go."
In defiance, Bhutto said she would sit in her car and wait, and asked someone in the nearby crowd to "bring me a barbed wire cutter."
Musharraf fired Chaudhry earlier this year during widespread protests, and he dismissed him again last Saturday when he declared a state of emergency and suspended the constitution.
Musharraf also ousted the rest of the Supreme Court shortly after the emergency declaration, and replaced them with his supporters. Judges have been detained in their homes, surrounded by soldiers, and the judicial system is in lockdown.
Bhutto wants to see Chaudhry reinstated, and irate lawyers have been at the forefront of many of the protests. Bhutto told CNN's Zain Verjee that she had not spoken with Musharraf for "seven days."
"I have not spoken to him since we decided to part ways with this public protest. But before we parted ways, I did speak to him. I did say to him when the election should be," said Bhutto, who was accused of corruption while prime minister. "The public mood is against any more contact with Gen. Musharraf."
The media blackout imposed on all independent news channels since November 3 has limited local broadcasts of the festering political crisis, although anyone with satellite service can receive some of the barred networks.
CNN and the BBC were back on the air Saturday.
Pakistani police pushed into a press building filled with protesting journalists in the northeastern city of Peshawar Saturday, and in Lahore police surrounded another press building, journalists inside told CNN.
The United States and other foreign allies are pressuring Musharraf to end the state of emergency and set a date for parliamentary elections, which were originally slated for January.
Musharraf announced Thursday that the elections will be held by February 15 and restated his pledge to step down as the country's military leader. Before the emergency order, he was scheduled to be sworn in November 15 and had pledged to step down as military chief after that date. E-mail to a friend
CNN's Mohsin Naqvi, Elise Labott, Zain Verjee and Ed Henry contributed to this report.

At about 3 AM on July 2nd, I finished writing my first book. Well, that's not technically true. I've been fiddling with minor layout issues and finding spelling errors since then, so I guess I'm not done until I send it off to the printer, but the heavy lifting was finished then. This author title doesn't seem to fit me, though. I guess that's what happens when you fall into stuff. See, it wasn't even my idea. It was yet another blasted high school Social Studies project to be vanquished. It was a last hurrah, a chance to finally get high school out of my system and be comfortable with the fact that I am a second year university student. Yeah, like that was going to happen.
For those not "in the know", I was contacted late last year by one of the great high school teachers of my life, Adrian French, who asked me to take on a project about a project, specifically to document one school project and the place that the novel Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden had in it. The actual school project is a spectacular thing, a multi-disciplinary one that incorporates student poetry inspired by the novel, the hard facts of World War One, and an enormous mosaic that serves as a way to visualize the emotions of the war as seen through the eyes of a 17-year-old high schooler, among other things.
It was French's idea to make the book as a sort of "thank you" for Mr. Boyden. It had been kicking around in his head for a few years, and there were some attempts to get it off the ground, but to no avail. When I was approached to lead the charge, I said yes, even though I expected to be dragged through some mud for a while. After the initial excitement, I did what every good Challenge student did, and put it off. There was no firm deadline on this, so I sort of kept it in the back of my mind. I knew I wanted to do a photo-driven coffee table book right away. I just didn't know where to go from there.
On April 19th, after I finished my last exam of my first year of university, I decided to put in the time to get this project off the ground. Some eager high schoolers, two years my junior, were tasked with helping me in this endeavor around Spring Break, but on that Thursday night, things really started to cook. That night, Celina Chan assembled a crew of overly-enthusiastic and highly intelligent Grade 11 students, and the conversation got started. For three glorious hours, a rapid fire dialogue occurred between myself and the 15-or-so members of the group. We discussed layout ideas, fonts, content to include, and everything else under the sun. That was the push I needed to get my lazy ass off the couch (the fifth season of Mad Men was in full swing, after all) and to actually do the work.
Like the war that the project chronicled, there were a few major pushes interspersed with some sitting around. In the last few weeks of June, I had realized I had spent half my summer vacation doing this, and so I redoubled my efforts to get it done so it would not consume all of it. Those last two days of June were very chaotic. I applaud those team members who answered my last minute cries for help quickly and calmly. Now that the book is finished, I'm fairly safe in assuming that no high school social studies project has ever been documented for history as painstakingly as this one. I hope this doesn't start a precedent. I wouldn't wish this on anyone (kidding!).
Part of the reason it took so long was because, frankly, I am not a very good writer. I sort of imagine my writing process like a manual meat grinder working through some particularly bad cut of beef. The end product should be similar in consistency to the ground beef from some big, efficient, automated meat grinder; it just took a little too much sweat to get there.
This was absolutely a labor of love. There was frustration, to be sure, but it was mostly with the Blurb-provided software. In an earlier blog post, I had mentioned the Lightroom book module, and while the templates were excellent, the inability to modify them was a dealbreaker. There are many sophisticated customization options that are available in the LR Book module, like tracking and kerning adjustment, but the inability to modify even the simplest layouts or add a text box sort of killed it for me. I guess it is meant for picture books, then, which makes sense. I guess it's my fault for not learning InDesign earlier. I've never been much of a graphic designer either.
Throughout the writing process, I was very impressed with the output of these 17 year olds. After all, I had to sort through their old homework. Yes, they are still 17, and their youth does show through, but they really did think things through before putting them down on paper. Their feelings are real, and I don't think they would have felt anything at all had Three Day Road not forced students to connect emotionally with two young soldiers (however fictional they may have been) and give them a picture of the war that doesn't consist of a timeline with the key events and dates. It was a deafening, muddy conflict that did not treat people as people, but rather as another expendable tool of war. Reading about soldiers using broken bodies as something to reinforce the trenches with was affecting, and while it would have raised an eyebrow in a textbook, the true impact would have been lost because I wouldn't have known that was a person with a name that I sympathized with earlier in the book. It made all the difference. I did the project once, and referred back to it numerous times throughout the writing process. It sure didn't seem like much when I was writing it, but hindsight is always 20/20.
I tried to make the book as self-contained as possible (always a good thing), so it covers the development of the Cree Star Blanket project right up to the recognition it received in November 2010 from the Governor General of Canada. Being a photographer, I came up with the photos in my head first. I enjoyed shooting those divider photos immensely. Maybe it was because I had willing subjects. I don't always get those.
For followers of Joe McNally, it is easy to see where I got some of my ideas from. His photos and his philosophy, particularly for The Moment it Clicks, served as the inspiration for the look and feel of the photos in my book. One foot on the coffee table and one foot in the classroom is how I envisioned it from the very beginning, only I didn't set out to teach anyone anything. That just happened to be the setting for the photos.
I've always admired his ability to produce good work no matter what situation he's dropped into, and it's a quality that I hope to have someday. Unlike Joe (who will never live down the infamous SB-800 tree from Dubai), I had only the simplest of light setups at my disposal (one 60" umbrella and one SB-600), and I used it for every formal portrait in the book. Add a pale gold gel, my camera body, and a 35mm f/1.8 DX lens, and that was essentially it. I wanted to add some color to the book, and I couldn't think of a better way to do it than to reveal the faces of those who did the project. The light isn't complicated, nor should it have been.
If you're interested in purchasing a copy for yourself to see what the fuss is all about, I'm working on it. I might put it on sale in the Blurb bookstore, or I might do something else. I'll post about it when I figure things out. I think I'm to discuss this with Adrian over dinner this week. I think it will be the best steak I will ever have in my life.
UPDATE (11/06/2012): The book is now available for purchase as a PDF, a softcover, or as a hard cover book with dust jacket (which was how the book was intended to be read). To order a copy and to support this project, please click here.

Notice to Members 05-10
NASD Amends Rule Governing Time Limits for Submission of Arbitration Claims
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved amendments to Rule 10304 of the NASD Code of Arbitration Procedure (Code) relating to time limits on the submission of claims in arbitration.1 The amendments clarify that arbitrators, and not courts, will determine whether a claim is ineligible for arbitration under the rule; make clear that dismissal of a claim on eligibility grounds in arbitration does not preclude a claimant from pursuing the claim in court; provide that, by requesting dismissal of a claim under the rule, the requesting party is agreeing that the claimant may withdraw all related claims without prejudice and may pursue all of the claims in court; and state that the six-year time limit on the submission of claims does not apply to any claim that is directed to arbitration by a court of competent jurisdiction upon request of a member or associated person. Rule 10304, as amended, is included in this Notice as Attachment A.
The effective date of this rule change is May 1, 2005, for all claims filed with NASD on or after that date.
Questions regarding this Notice can be directed to Jean I. Feeney, Vice President and Chief Counsel, Dispute Resolution, at (202) 728-6959; or Laura Gansler, Assistant General Counsel, Regulatory Policy and Oversight, at (202) 728-8275.

To reduce the costs associated with the Class C payroll, we are in the process of designing a system that reduces data entry efforts by utilizing data already in an existing database as well as converting to a monthly schedule. We are currently implementing enhancements to SAMAS that will allow agencies to input travel for State employees into screens in the Payroll Component of SAMAS. The input process will take advantage of expansion options, currently utilized in Departmental SAMAS, will allow input of all other types of travel (object 26XX) to prevent the need to toggle between different components of SAMAS, and will pull data from the employee's W-4 record.
Travel will continue to be processed through the same components of SAMAS where it is currently processed. This means that all travel other than Class C will be downloaded to Departmental SAMAS and processed just as if it were input directly into Departmental SAMAS. Class C (object 2640 and 2648) will be held in the Payroll Component of SAMAS and processed on the scheduled Class C Payroll. After the Class C payroll is processed a routine will match keyed records to those paid and update Departmental records as appropriate.
We will continue to accept Class C diskettes pursuant to Payroll Memorandum dated September 30, 1994, DBFBP 94-2, for those agencies that have designed and implemented travel systems on a personal computer (PC). If there continues to be a demand for uploading data from PC files, we may allow agencies to load their own data from those computers at a later date. Agencies that utilize this method of input will be required to update their Departmental records.
Effective June 1, 1997, the changes discussed in this memorandum will be implemented. Detailed procedures will be outlined in a Payroll Preparation Manual update which will include a modification of the Payroll Calendar. The first Class C Payroll of each month (for the month of June 1997, this will be June 4, 1997) will be the only available processing date. All other Class C Payrolls currently scheduled on the 1997 BOSP Payroll Calendar will be canceled. Upon implementation of these changes the Bureau of State Payrolls will no longer accept Class C forms (salmon colored form DBF-BP-34).
Training sessions are being offered during the period April 28, 1997, through April 30, 1997, in Room 250 of the Fletcher Building. Due to limited seating we are scheduling four sessions each day of approximately two hours each. Please contact Lora Crutchfield or Nanci NeSmith at 488-7762 or SUNCOM 278-7762 to schedule your attendance. Questions regarding the implementation of the revised Class C procedures should be directed to Zadok Coxwell at 488-7762 or SUNCOM 278-7762.

A few days ago i bought transcendence and the eternity port expansion for one of my favorite youtubers, Vinesauce joel. The aim of buying it for him was to make the community less dead and give the game more mods.
If anyone else here can give transcendence to some popular youtubers that would be great, because my poor 15 year old wallet hasn't even begun to recover yet.
