The Intravertebral Cleft in Painful Long-Standing Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures Treated With Percutaneous Vertebroplasty: Diagnostic Assessment and Clinical Significance
Spine, 05/17/2012
Clinical Article
Nieuwenhuijse MJ et al. – There is variation between observers in the identification of an intravertebral cleft, and the identification of an intravertebral cleft is not always straightforward. For preoperative assessment, the authors recommend MRI with T1–weighted and short–tau–inversion–recovery sequences. Regarding patient–reported outcome, patients with long–standing osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) with intravertebral clefts benefit from percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), but, compared with patients with OVCFs without intravertebral clefts, the benefit obtained was not superior and may be delayed.

Escape to Iguassu Falls and enjoy a luxurious four-night stay at the Hotel das Cataratas.
The thundering waters of Iguassu are a natural base for a high-adrenaline escape, with jungle treks and rafting on—or rappelling above—the magnificent Iguassu River.
This sample four-night itinerary helps you get the most of your stay at Hotel das Cataratas.
Exclusive to hotel guests, this unique tour sets off on a full moon to witness a sight rarely seen by most in their lifetimes—the lunar rainbow.
Led by our resident biologist, Wilson Fernandes, this unique tour lasts about 90 minutes.
Explore the jungle's natural wonders and the breathtaking Falls by day before allowing Iguassu's distant roar to lull you to sleep by night.
This sample four-night itinerary helps you get the most of your romantic stay at Hotel das Cataratas.
One of the best ways to experience the Lower Falls is by speedboat as part of a Macuco Safari.
Starting with a journey by jeep through the rainforest, the highlight is the view The Three Musketeers and Devil's Throat.
The most spectacular way to view the magic of Iguassu Falls, enjoy a 10-minute flyover across the falls.
You could also choose a 35-minute tours to the Three Borders Landmark (Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay).
As the only hotel located within the National Park, guests are invited to join in a number of exclusive walking excursions, including our Iguassu Falls Tour.
The walks, unique to Hotel das Cataratas, take in the surrounding primary rainforest as well as the viewing platforms over the falls.
For many visitors, a stay would not be complete without a visit to the Argentinian side of the falls, from where you can get a different perspective.
Please note, there is no private access and the Argentinian side can get very crowded.
For those looking for a more insightful rainforest excursion, Iguassu Explorer offers a genuine rainforest experience, both on land and water.
Beginning with a thrilling jeep excursion through the rainforest to Iguassu River, your journey continues by motorboat.
Just a few minutes' drive from the hotel, play a 9- or 18-hole round on Iguassu Golf Club & Resort's superb golf course.
All the necessary equipment is available to hire, and golf lessons can be arranged. Book your transfers at the front desk.

I started having panic attacks at the age of 8, and although I have developed my own coping mechanisms throughout the years, I still suffer from this often debilitating disorder at 32 as a married mother of 3. By starting this group, my goal is to bring people with similar struggles together to form a close-knit circle filled with feelings of safety, security, and openness.

After hearing about an established Christian publisher recently launching an official blog for their products, I did some thinking about the relationship between the traditional publication outlets and social media.
I'm sure that traditional publishers have a relatively large budget for print advertising, but it seems that they are very slow to hire professionals to do serious social media work, blogging, and online advertising. This seems true at least in the academic markets and relative to their print marketing outreach. And the blogs that publishers do have are usually not very good, although there are exceptions.

The Columbus Dispatch - July 09, 2012 3:07 PM
Encouraged by the success of prescription drug drop-off events, Attorney General Mike DeWine is teaming with two agencies to install full-time drop boxes at 75 southern Ohio locations.
DeWine is working with the Ohio Department of Health and the Drug Free Action Alliance on the Ohio Prescription Drug Drop Box Program. The pilot program will provide the boxes for prescription drugs and three portable incinerators to destroy them.
DeWine said the southern part of the state is the "epicenter of the abuse...By initially focusing our efforts in this area, we will not only help more people, but can also better monitor the success of the program."
The eligible counties for the free program are Adams, Fayette, Jackson, Preble, Athens, Gallia, Lawrence, Ross, Brown, Greene, Meigs, Scioto, Butler, Hamilton, Montgomery, Vinton, Clermont, Highland, Pickaway, Warren, Clinton, Hocking, Pike and Washington.
"We want to make it convenient to get these unused dangerous drugs out of the home, safeguarding the family and decreasing the possibility of the drugs being diverted or misused," said Dr. Theodore Wymslo, state health director, in a statement.
The drop boxes are similar to mailboxes on the streets. The will be located inside law enforcement agencies so people can drop in their unwanted, expired or unused drugs.

As expected of a national capital, Ottawa has many institutions devoted to preserving and interpreting Canadian History. The Museum of Civilization tells the story of Canada's people from the arrival of aboriginal peoples over the Bering Strait through Viking settlements and European colonization to the present day. The collection of artifacts is quite spectacular, including full-size Salish totem poles, a Viking ship, and even a grain elevator. Do also take a moment to appreciate that the museum is shaped like male genitalia (see the floor plan).
The Canadian War Museum, now housed in a monolithic new building tells the story of Canada's military history, from colonial conflicts to the World Wars, Korea, its peacekeeping missions, and its involvement in NATO and UN operations. A joint ticket for the War Museum and Museum of Civilization is cheaper than buying them separate.
A quirky war-related institution is the Diefenbunker, a former top-secret bunker built to protect the government in case of nuclear attack. It now houses a museum of the Cold War.

District 2 Congressman Markwayne Mullin, who took office in January, visited Durant on Friday and heard the concerns of a crowd of around 50 people at Kiamichi Technology Center.
The evening visit was the final one of Mullin's week-long, 16-stop "listening tour" of district sites throughout eastern Oklahoma.
"We've got to work together to get this country back on track, or we're going to lose it for our kids," he told the crowd. "We have common ground. We believe in the flag, we believe in the Constitution."
He said he plans to respect the office, not take it for granted, and he will represent the people of the district regardless of their political leaning.
"It starts with us all listening to somebody else and taking the time to hear their opinion and discuss it, not get upset about it."
He spent an hour taking questions from those in attendance, and most of those who spoke up were elders. Their questions and comments mainly focused on rampant government spending, specifically on the Superstorm Sandy relief bill and "Obamacare."
Others were concerned about the progress of the Keystone pipeline, legality of Obamacare mandates and financial accountability for government agencies.
Mullin said his initial focus as a congressman would be to examine and potentially eliminate government waste, specifically in the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.
"But it's unrealistic for you to think that I'm going to (Washington) and I'm going to solve all our problems," he said. "We can do more things if we just don't accept failure. We've been very, very passive. If we get involved, we can take a lot of that back. I'm looking at making government smaller."
He urged citizens to "get involved" with the process of government accountability, "past asking questions and talking to friends."
Mullin, a Republican from Westville in Adair County, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in November of 2012, replacing Dan Boren. He is a member of the Cherokee Nation and one of two Native Americans serving in the House. (The other is Tom Cole, a Chickasaw Republican.)

hey guys.
I've been kitesurfing waveboards now for 4 years. right now I'm on a 5'10 RBSixty3 from South Africa.
My weight is 185 lbs and I'm 6 feet tall.
To be honest I guess I'm looking for the "one fits all board" because I kitesurf in different conditions. In the summer months I go a lot to denmark (north sea) or go out at my home spot at the baltic sea where we only have wind waves. over the last four winter I've been to south africa with lots of different conditions as well, waves between 4 to 12 feet and wind up to 40 knots.
I was thinking of the Hellfire 5'10...
do you think that this is the right choice for me?
thanks a lot. leo
ps: felix, don't know if you remember me, but we did a little trip 4 yours ago with peter petersen and photographer henning nockel to cape point, when peters audi broke down

Hi All.
It is my understanding that different record companies did not all record at 78 rpm, if this is so how do I find out at what speed they did record, has anyone published a list.

[/img][img][album]18446[/album]Whitneyville wrote:Terry, you are "more" correct. Until at least 1935, German recording companies used 66 2/3 RPM as their "standard". I have classical recordings from that era, and they almost sound like a 33 1/3 RPM record being played at 45 RPM. Pathe stayed with 88.3 RPM until 1933, again, I have recordings of "The Trio of The Hot Club of France" t h a t s o u n d s o o o s l l o o o w w w and the timing marking on the labels aren't correct at 78.1 (US "Spec"). Spainish, Italian, Mexican, South American records in the electrical era were often cut at 90 RPM, which is why older record players (like my sister's) 1950 Zenith Cobra-Matic used a big variable rheostat on the drive motor so you could adjust for Edison (90 RPM) discs and all the other "odd speeds". There are dots marking the most common faster and slower speeds on now "my" Cobra-Matic. BTW: Most US early "Jass" records were cut at 70 or 72 RPM so they played back "faster" at 78 or on Victrolas. The timbre of the trumpet and clarinet (not to mention saxophones) give it away to this old horn-blower in a split-second.
Whitneyville wrote:Phil, I certainly don't have "perfect pitch" anymore (if ever!), but listening to "78's" from different companies and countries (all electronic recordings) and listening to the timbre of the instruments, I know I can get with-in +/- 5% of the actual speed, usually better than that. I'm fairly confident some Eastern European records and some Soviet Records were cut perhaps as fast as 105 RPM. That's the only thing that makes the recording time even close to right, and the only thing that makes Jingo Rhinehardt sound "right" on some Romanian discs. NHK of Japan used 72 RPM until the end of WWII. The recording of His Imperial Majesty's Surrender Speech (one copy is in the Library of Congress) is recorded at 72 RPM. Telefunken record players on WWII German U-Boats have a setting for 66 2/3rds RPM. They are 36 volt DC motors BTW, and I have seen and heard a working one, right next to an "Enigma" code Machine, at the old Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago ca. 1984.
Whitneyville wrote:The Cobra-Matic uses an RF oscillator at about 485Khz modulated by a coil-type pick-up. This is then fed to the 455KHz IF of the radio section, then direct converted from 30Khz to audio frequencies as I understand the system. A 30Khz oscillator is very simple to build stable, and so is the 455KHz IF oscillator. I'm not 100% clear if the 30Khz signal is run thru the tiny coil in the cartridge and modulated that way or not. My "service manual" is just a "block diagram" type, and I haven't had the spare $100 +/- for a "real service manual". Zenith did do the photo-electric cell thing a few years later, as well as a "dynamic stress cartridge" which was a transistor with the stylus connected to the emitter I think. Zenith and Bell Labs had some smoozing going on until the early '60's. Zenith sold the first fully transistorized radio in the US, built around Motarola/Fairchild trannies. The fact that the radio/record player still works after 60 1/2+ years is a tribute to when we used to build things to LAST.
Whitneyville wrote:I'll give it a shot Phil. The speed control is a big 1/3 arc of about a 15" diameter rheostat controlling the rim-drive motor. It's continuously variable, but as long as you come from the "Off/top speeds downwards" with the adjustment knob, it's surprisingly accurate. I'm going to have to break-down and buy a copy-of-a-copy of the real service manual, to get the adjustments on the record-player right and the "tweeks" after I've replaced the tubes right. The tube that's for the phonograph pick-up is still microphonic as heck, and I've replaced some of the old paper caps on the tube socket. I'm wondering about some of those oooold micas on there now.
Whitneyville wrote:It's a shaded pole induction motor, awfully similar to a Dual turret drive motor. You could call it a "C" frame motor, but it has alot more torque at 16 2/3 RPM than you'd expect from the typical cheap "C" frame motor. The motor shaft is about .25" and the idler wheel is no more than 2.5", and the platter is about 10", so the motor turns fairly slow. My weird tube is a metal cased 12J5 which is an octal based tube separated from the rest of the chassis. I know this high-mu tube tends to be microphonic, but even the metal chassis shield several inches away from the tube, now makes the near "feedback" ring. I'm suspecting some bypass caps elsewhere are contributing to this. You know how hard it is to find anyone who knows how to work on these old five tube radios, with the Zenith RF phono circuit?

Physical Traits: The coloring of the male is brilliant red from the nape to a white forehead. The female is red only at the rear of her crown.
Habitat: True to it's name, this woodpecker spends much of its time storing acorns in holes drilled into trees, fence posts, and other man made structures. The Acorn Woodpecker's habitat is generally in oak and pine woodlands. It can be seen in urban parks or suburban areas where oak trees are common. Its nest is built in the cavity of a tree or tree limb with a blanket of wood chips at the bottom of the nest.
Recommended Feeder: Lyric Woodpecker Feeder
Feeder Tips: Selectively limit your feeding site for optimal pleasure by offering the food in a Lyric Woodpecker Feeder. This cedar feeder is uniquely designed so that only the woodpeckers' and nuthatches' long bills and tongues can get the bits of food. We suggest smearing some suet or peanut butter on the cedar and in the holes to attract the bird and help it identify the food source. Hanging the feeder from a tree branch or close to a tree trunk is optimal. Squirrel baffles are always recommended.
States and Regions Found: Acorn Woodpeckers are resident in western Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico and western Texas. They also have populations extending into Central America and isolated populations in Colombia.

Area of sphere.
We know that we calculate the volume of sphere by taking infinitesimally small cylinders.
∫ ∏x^2dh Limits are from R→0 x is the radius of any randomly chosen circle dh is the height of the cylindrical volume. x^2 + h^2 = R^2 So we will get 4/3∏R^3 Now the question is why cannot we obtain the SURFACE AREA using, infinitesimally small cylinders. Where ∫ 2∏xdh Limits are from R→0 x is the radius of any randomly chosen circle dh is the height of the cylindrical volume. x^2 + h^2 = R^2. I have a certain explanation for this which works well, but i would like to know if there is an unambiguous answer. Thankyou :) |

Area of sphere.
For the integral to work the approximation must match well enough, like the above comic. Two shapes can have equal volume and very nearly the sam shape, but very different surface area.
Dec18-12, 07:45 AM | #5 |
Thankyou for all the replies. :)
I would just like you to look at the attatchment, where ive tried to convince myself. If we compute the surface area by using CYLINDERS we end up getting a LESSER area than 4∏R^2 .The reason why cylinders do not work, is because "for an infinitesimally small height dh" the area of the ACTUAL surface of the sphere (which represents a conical frustum, i have taken CONE in this case) will always be greater than the surface area of the CYLINDER enclosing it. |
Dec18-12, 08:41 AM | #6 |
hi sahil_time!
(but your diagram doesn't really work, it needs to show a proper frustrum, rather than one that goes up to the apex of the cone ) |
Dec21-12, 03:58 AM | #7 |
Thanx again :)
Dec21-12, 05:40 AM | #8 |
yes, that's fine!
but you could shorten it by using θ from the start your first line could be Afrustrum = π(r1 + r2)secθ(btw, archimdedes managed to prove this without modern maths you may be interested to read this: http://arcsecond.wordpress.com/tag/archimedes/) |
Dec21-12, 01:02 PM | #9 |
That is ingenious, the way he has proved it :)
Thanx alot :) |

Ah, the quote by quote response, truly the height of civilized web discourse.
Quote from: Jens on August 28, 2007, 05:11:24 am
"What precisely makes the Umenzi not "central players?" Why must there be Central European factions which take precedence over all others?"
The fact the original crop of armies were obviously European and they are clearly African based. Obviously by European and African I mean their "fantasy world" equivalents but you can tell simply from their dress and armor, or lack of it, that the Umenzi are clearly from a very hot region and possess domesticated animals (war elephants) that are not staples among the armies of their foes. Again if you want to find some explanation that would mark them as being from a geographical similar region again fire away.
I think you are still clinging to the idea that Battleground is superimposed onto a map of Europe, perhaps because GW did it (though whether they did it out of cunning or laziness I've never figured out). I think any prospective fluff is much more interesting if you try to work with the weirdness of the setting and figure out ways to make it all work together rather than marginalize factions because they don't hold to an extant world view which is based largely on the name of one faction.
Try to picture a setting where Hawk and Umenzi territories could intersect. If you want to stick to the Europe-Africa scheme, just stick a decent land-bridge across the Mediterranean and all of a sudden the Umenzi are next door neighbors. Or take a historical example of two cultures from radically different origin points that wound up face to face: The Muslim conquests of the 8th century (too lazy to double check that's the century I mean) when France and Moorish Spain went toe-to-toe for years.
Quote from: Jens on August 28, 2007, 05:11:24 am
"You seem to hold the view that Battleground has a very specific setting and releasing new factions that don't pertain to your own mental picture are damaging it. "
My views on the factions are based on what the designers released so far not any kind of mental picture of my own. I certainly wouldn't have opted for the initial factions as they are now and I wold love to see a bit more originality and flair in the design of any further factions. However, for whatever reason the designers picked the starting factions they did and I think they should fully flesh out their initial factions before getting too far ahead of themselves. It has nothing at all to do with my preference for what the world should contain (ask me what new factions I think they should add and I'll tell you), they could have started with were-rabbits and moomin and I still would say "flesh out the originals before adding factions from other regions".
See, this is my point. These factions might be based on real world cultures that are distant from each other, but there is nothing preventing the Battleground versions from living near each other.
Besides, there's nothing that says that orcs or undead are necessarily European. I mean ghouls are originally Arabic, zombies are originally Haitian, and catapults formed from the reanimated remains of a bisected giant are from the twisted minds of the YMG team.
Quote from: Jens on August 28, 2007, 05:11:24 am
"the game can just be a tactical exercise"
Why is it that the people say this and then seem to get bothered by the introduction of an established lore? By your own rational you can simply use the mechanics and any units you want to make your dream game. The existence of background setting doesn't mean some Lore-policeman is going to come to your home and physically force you to play the game in a specific way.
When I said "the game" I was referring to the specific match up of a historical army and a fictional one, not the game in terms of Battleground as a whole, though I can see how that would be confusing. The point I was making is that you don't need to have a backstory rationalization for every battle. You seemed to be against historical and fantasy factions fighting due to the incongruity of the backstory. That's like having an Optimus Prime action figure and a He-Man action figure and not having them fight, even though they have the same scale, because it isn't in continuity. Wow have I been up to long.
You can make fun backstories for Fantasy Vs. Historical games, it just requires a sense of playfulness. Varus and his legions stroll through the Teutoburg forest when Orc Marauders burst from the trees. The Roman invasion of Britain stymies when the Elves return from Tir Na Nog or where ever and tell Caesar to step off. A necromancer declares that the rocks thrown by his giant catapults will block out the sun. Leonidas responds that he will fight in the shade.
Quote from: Jens on August 28, 2007, 05:11:24 am
"But if the clockworks are the constructs of another race, particularly a highly magical one, it holds up. Magic seems harder to reverse engineer than early industrial technology."
Wouldn't that make them simply golems rather than clockwork robots? In either case they seem to be the equivalent of the Warforged that wizards of the coast introduced to further stripmine the D&D legacy? I wouldn't mind so much if they were magical automatons, though I'd rather see them be non-sentient units serving sentient masters. Its more the idea of wildly differing tech levels with an absence of proliferation that bothers me. The designers have already established the initial factions as being at a typical Middle Ages level of advancement and as such I would hope that even arquebusiers aren't introduced as units for any faction.
I guess those might technically be Golems. The difference between Golems and clockwork robots is kind of nebulous, and really depends on one's own personal definition. I guess you could take the Golem back to its roots as a clay man given life by Rabbi Loeb. I'm not too familiar with the Warforged, but aren't they mostly humanoid constructs? It seems to me that there is plenty of room for development in strictly human forms, or along the lines of Clanks and Constructs from
Girl Genius
. If you have a decent reason for why the faction's technology hasn't spread to the others it can hold up. If they just randomly have guns, then I agree, it's weird that no one ever picked one up after a battle and tried to figure it out. (Granted goblins have gunpowder of a sort but we all know how well that works)
Quote from: Jens on August 28, 2007, 05:11:24 am
Warhammer btw isn't a steampunk world, as far as I remember any steam technology was incredibly unstable and only used for military use in the form of still experimental weaponry that was apt to frequently kill its users (don't quote me on any recent changes though, I'm far from up to date).
I didn't say it was steampunk, just that there is steam technology extant and it isn't very logically distributed or utilized. I think
sums up Empire technology pretty well.
Hmm, perhaps I should close with something actually to do with the original topic. How about giants? Like the kind that always get cut in two to make undead artillery. I bet they'd love a little pay back

I would like to but my support behind the following ideas brought up by earlier posters:
Campaign rules
Siege rules (I for one have had a lot of fun playing sieges in the past with other games)
A Clockwork army (mad scientists unite!)
An Asian-themed army (or armies)
The (ex-)Empire player in me wants to hold out hope for a steam tank, but I don't
think that's a good idea.
I'm very much looking forward to the Sci-Fi version of Battleground.
I'll also second Enpeze & Lucas who suggested a naval battle game. That would totally rock! Maybe even expand that into a Sci-Fi game as well. But it has to have broadsides! Enfilade! Fusillade! (I'm sure I got some of those terms wrong, but it captures my enthusiasm)
Back to the basic Battleground game, though, I would also like to suggest an additional focus on non-traditional fantasy armies, I had a post about it in the Evil Armies thread, here:
which pretty much sums up that idea. But pretty much anything that's not a rehash of something we've all seen before in every other table-top wargame would be good.
As far as the background fluff goes, I'm actually pretty happy with the little bits and pieces we're getting with the scenarios and other ancillary things. I like being able to put my own interpretation on things without having to come up with some implausible reason why two "good" or two "evil" armies are fighting it out (or for that matter, why two traditional enemies are allies in a big battle). I'd rather be able to say that in
battle, the world is all about trying to beat down the mighty Orc-Elf Alliance (or whatever).

I think too much fluff is not that good for a tabletop game. This was one of the reasons I didnt like the Warhammer tabletop versions. (beside the bad rules) But a little bit background would be ok. 10 pages, a map ( here are the undead and here are the hawkwoods and here are the ogres etc.) and some illustrations or so. Just as inspiration and to give ideas for scenarios.

Given that fluff is probably the least manpower intensive factor possible...
Beg to differ. Writing good storyline takes a lot of time. I can turn on Campaign Cartographer and come up with a really good worldmap in a couple of days, but actually fleshing it out so that the world comes alive in a way that anyone would care about takes a lot of time...at least for me!
Very good. Save your time and work instead on the the siege, campaign and naval rules!

clockwork army sounds great. Steamtanks and irongolems... yeah! And timetravelling sword mages with big sand glasses.... (ok, ok the last one was too much

If there was a 'demon army', I'd like to see it as some people have suggested- A mostly human army of cultists (and unwilling conscripts if they are a nation/government) backed up by summoned demons (summoned in during the battle would be cool, though I can live without it).
Since we now have pseudo-africans, I'd also throw my vote in for Norse/Rus at some point. Humans allied with Frost Giants, Berserkers, War Mammoths, lots of cool possibilities.

Here the way I see things as someone who loves the game. The game is young and there is not a lot of fluff to go with the this young world but as the world gets older the stories and fluff, I'm sure will grow. What we all need to think about as we put down our thoughts here is maybe we can help the game grow and get better by spaking new or adding to ideas. Jens you have made some good points but you have been a little forceful in show them to the forum and some of the reply to you have been somewhat lashing. All I'm trying to say here is that everybody should give their ideas and their opinions and let us feed off them in a positive manner not in a negative way. And let's not bush other game system if we can help it. It's not far to the other game because they do not have a true voice here. Let's just try to help make Battleground the best of them all.
This is a Fantasy world so this could be an alternate universe where European factions have never been heard of or this world could be happenning on one of the moons of Saturn for all we know. As the world unfolds and as the game go on I will be looking foward to finding out.
Have fun playing, Demoing, and pushing the game foward.
Thanks you Chad and Crew for the great game you have created for our enjoyment.

I was also thinking that an Egyptian-themed army would be wicked cool.
I would envision it as sort of a cross between the mystically-inclinded Umenzi and the Undead. Have magic-using priests and mummies. This would also be a good place for some chariots. Any maybe some giant Anubis-looking guys (sort of similar to the Scorpion King).
Speaking of chariots, I could also see them in a roman/gladiator type army.

I'll also second Enpeze & Lucas who suggested a naval battle game. That would totally rock! Maybe even expand that into a Sci-Fi game as well. But it has to have broadsides! Enfilade! Fusillade! (I'm sure I got some of those terms wrong, but it captures my enthusiasm)
... and a toast to another man worth his salt!!!
Gradually more and more people will realise the beauty of the high seas, the thunder that are broadsides and the pure essence of strategy, where there is no terrain, just the planks under your feet and a fotilla closing in upon you fast ... Got carried away again
'Pshhht', if anything like a secret petition to have a naval expansion comes out, let me know, all yea scurvy squids ... have trained a hundred or so monkeys to make signatures ... just don't tell anyone.

I LONG for a thematic Eastern Asian army, particularly of Japanese origin. I would love to field an army of Ashigaru coscripts backed by hard charging mounted Samurai archers. Hell, I'd pre-order a starter and expansion of any army with even an inkling of Asian influence.

Well, hopefully for my sake, it's Asian Themed and not Asian Historic!
It's a lot more fun when it's fantasy.
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.

Well, the question becomes, which asian?
The two cliches of course are Japanese, and Mainland China; but there's also Mongolian, Tibeten, etc. etc.
Lots and lots of opportunities there, and more then enough for two or three decks at least. I mean, just going with cliches you have...
A: Mongolian deck, pretty much everyone mounted, either fast cav or mounted archers with a few practically unarmored horde type troop units.
B: A 'Martial Arts' deck, monks, militia and military oh my.
C: Japanese army...NINJAS!! Need I say more? Oh yah, heavily armored guys in layered armor with cool swords, either on horses or off, backed up by Feudal Lord characters, regular army, and peasent troops.
And may I please reassert my suggestion for a clockwork army? Please oh please oh please....

By the late 1770s, the sack-back gown, of which this is an example, was reserved for formal evening or Court dress. The shape of the petticoat, requiring a wide square hoop, also indicates the formality of the ensemble. An arc of precise, wedge-shaped pleats illustrates how the gown was shaped to fit over such a hoop.
The plain fabric and restrained decoration are typical of the late 1770s. Broad and narrow strips of the white silk satin have been edged with silk fringe, gathered and applied to the gown in undulating lines. The fringe is made of looped and knotted floss silk and chenille thread. Lengths of this fringe form tassels which hang from the gown and would have swung and danced as the wearer moved.

It makes it all the more important to attend and learn as much as we can for the next 2 years.
I'm excited about Chicago and I love Orlando anytime.
It will be hard to wait two years to see and talk to our eBay friends though but maybe there will be regional ones close enough to attend.

The multi-national agreement that created the world's largest free trade area -- NAFTA -- now links some 450 million people producing $17 trillion worth of goods and services.The Fronteras: Changing America Desk will explore NAFTA's momentous impacts exactly 20 years after the agreement was signed in San Antonio, Texas as part of an all-new series called NAFTA: 20 Years Later.
Tune in to hear reports from this series Mondays during Morning Edition, throughout the month of September and October
Proponents argue that the agreement has met many of its goals, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the maquiladora sector, and helping build up Mexico's middle class through jobs and cheaper consumer goods. Trade between the NAFTA countries has more than tripled in the years since it was implemented and agricultural exports to NAFTA countries have soared.On the other hand, even proponents recognize that small farmers in Mexico were put out of business by cheap, heavily subsidized U.S. agricultural exports. They were forced to move to bigger cities, adding to urban poverty, pollution, overcrowding and illegal immigration to the U.S. The population of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. pre-NAFTA, in 1990, was an estimated 2 million. Now it's around 11 million.This is what we generally know about the winners and losers of NAFTA, but on the trade agreement's 20th anniversary, we will probe more deeply into the compact and its consequences for the Fronteras' region, and the nation as a whole.We'll look at the impact on immigration and the backlash of laws that have resulted from waves of illegal immigrants. We'll dissect the anatomy of cross border business and look at how how border infrastructure has kept up with the demands of the trade. We'll explore the environmental consequences in the border region of a booming maquiladora industry and how NAFTA has created border boom towns. Finally, we'll investigate the future of this free trade zone.

Distress Clear Embossing Ink is formulated to give crafters the optimum performance when embossing with Distress Embossing Powders. Thi... Full Description & Details.
I've tried other brands of embossing inks, but none have come anywhere close to this one! It really doesn't give any kind of distress effect with just your average embossing powders, but it stays wet for up to 5 mins - I tried it! The fact that it doesn't dry quickly also helps give your images the most crisp appearance, so no more partial polka dots or stars! lol I will never waste time or money using another brand of embossing ink ever again.
Water mark or heat embossing, this pad is a wonderful addition to my supplies! Unlike other brands of embossing fluid that are tinted and claim to dry clear but still leave a tint to clear or translucent colors, this embossing ink goes on clear, dries clear, and leaves your heat embossed items looking great! Highly recommended!
This ink is a must when working with embossing powders. I really like this brand the best. Being new to embossing I have tried several different ones. This along with the distress powders give that aged look that most people love. It also is a slow drying so it allows time to work with your powders. Great product!
I love this embossing pad! Don't let the "Distressed" name scare you!! (Although I love the Distressed line, and all things Tim Holtz!) I used this pad to emboss large areas and it held the embossing powder beautifully and I got great results!
I definately will be buying more of these!
This is my second one, love this embossing ink. I want to get more of the embossing powder someday. I love to do the wording on front of cards and it is great to use for enhancing flowers and butterflies.

Here's a little video....these are just 4-A teams in Texas. The big boys are in 5-A.

Egalitarianism (from French égal, meaning "equal")—or, rarely, equalitarianism[1][2]—is a trend of thought that favors equality for particular categories of, or for all, living entities. Egalitarian doctrines maintain that all humans are equal in fundamental worth or social status, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.[3] The Cultural theory of risk holds egalitarianism as defined by (1) a negative attitude towards rules and principles, and (2) a positive attitude towards group decision-making, with fatalism termed as its opposite.[4] According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term has two distinct definitions in modern English.[5] It is defined either as a political doctrine that all people should be treated as equals and have the same political, economic, social, and civil rights[6] or as a social philosophy advocating the removal of economic inequalities among people or the decentralisation of power. Some sources define egalitarianism as the point of view that equality reflects the natural state of humanity.[7][8][9]
Contents |
Some specifically focused egalitarian concerns include economic egalitarianism, legal egalitarianism, luck egalitarianism, political egalitarianism, gender egalitarianism, racial equality, asset-based egalitarianism, and Christian egalitarianism. Common forms of egalitarianism include political and philosophical.
Egalitarianism in economics is a controversial phrase with conflicting potential meanings. It may refer either to equality of opportunity, the view that the government ought not to discriminate against citizens or hinder opportunities for them to prosper, or the quite different notion of equality of outcome, a state of economic affairs in which the government promotes equal prosperity for all citizens.
The free-market economist Milton Friedman supported equality-of-opportunity economic egalitarianism. Economist John Maynard Keynes supported more equal outcomes.
An early example of equality-of-outcome economic egalitarianism is Xu Xing, a scholar of the Chinese philosophy of Agriculturalism, who supported the fixing of prices, in which all similar goods and services, regardless of differences in quality and demand, are set at exactly the same, unchanging price.[10]
In the years following World War II, the social democracies of Europe have all adopted egalitarian programs designed to promote general access to health care and education.
Egalitarianism in politics can be of at least two forms. One form is equality of persons in right, sometimes referred to as natural rights, and John Locke is sometimes considered the founder of this form.[11]
Another form is a distributive egalitarianism in which the wealth created by labor is organized and controlled in some equal manner. Karl Marx is considered a proponent of this form of egalitarianism.[12]
At a cultural level, egalitarian theories have developed in sophistication and acceptance during the past two hundred years. Among the notable broadly egalitarian philosophies are socialism, communism, anarchism, libertarianism, left-libertarianism, social liberalism and progressivism, all of which propound economic, political, and legal egalitarianism. Several egalitarian ideas enjoy wide support among intellectuals and in the general populations of many countries. Whether any of these ideas have been significantly implemented in practice, however, remains a controversial question.
One argument is that liberalism provides democracy with the experience of civic reformism. Without it, democracy loses any tie─argumentative or practical─to a coherent design of public policy endeavoring to provide the resources for the realization of democratic citizenship. For instance, some argue that modern representative democracy is a realization of political egalitarianism, while in reality, most political power still resides in the hands of a ruling class, rather than in the hands of the people.[13]
In Christianity[edit]
The Christian egalitarian view holds that the Bible teaches the fundamental equality of women and men of all racial and ethnic mixes, all economic classes, and all age groups, based on the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and the overarching principles of scripture.[14] However, within the wide range of Christianity, there are dissenting views from opposing groups, some of which are Complementarians and Patriarchalists. There are also those who may say that, whilst the Bible encourages equality, it also encourages law and order and social structure (parents having authority over their children; the view that those who work evils are generally lower down the social scale than those who practise good, etc.); these ideas are considered by most to be contrary to the ideals of egalitarianism. At its foundational level, Christian thought holds that "... in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, man nor woman", defining all as equal in the sight of God.[15] Various Christian groups have attempted to hold to this view and develop Christian oriented communities. One of the most notable of these are the Hutterite groups of Europe and North America, living in agricultural and collective communities.
Military egalitarianism has been noted since ancient times, such as with Shakespeare's St. Crispin's Day Speech. This occurs in spite of the distinctions military forces attempt to make between officers and enlisted men. For example Major General Charles J. Dunlap, Jr. says that United States Air Force culture includes an egalitarianism bred from officers as warriors who work with small groups of enlisted airmen either as the service crew or onboard crew of their aircraft.[16]
A book published in 2009, The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better, took into account data sets from major world economies and correlated them with inequality indices. The book found that the absolute wealth within a country had little effect on the citizens' well-being or social cohesion, and that income inequality correlated strongly with social problems such as homicide, infant mortality, obesity, teenage pregnancies, emotional depression and prison population. For example, countries such as Japan, Finland and Norway scored highly in social well-being and income equality, while countries such as the United States and United Kingdom scored low in both.[17] A study of American college students published in Nature showed that people are willing to pay to reduce inequality.[18] When subjects were placed into groups and given random amounts of income, they spent their own money to reduce the incomes of the highest earners and increase the incomes of the lowest earners.[19][20]
In a follow-up study, Swiss children showed a significant increase in sharing between the ages of 3 and 8. It has not been determined whether the results of either of these experiments are due to an innate instinct, or exposure to and adoption of the customs of other people.[21]
An essay by Gary Hull (Ayn Rand Institute) in Capitalism magazine criticizes:
Egalitarianism, which claims only to want an 'equality' in end results, hates the exceptional man who, through his own mental effort, achieves that which others cannot... In an attempt to 'dumb down' all students to the lowest common denominator, today's educators no longer promote excellence and students of superior ability... Imagine the following Academy Award ceremony. There are no awards for best picture or best actor. Instead, every picture gets a certificate and every actor receives a prize. That is not an awards ceremony, you say? So it isn't. But it is an egalitarian's dream -- and an achiever's torment. Talent and ability create inequality... To rectify this supposed injustice, we are told to sacrifice the able to the unable. Egalitarianism demands the punishment and envy of anyone who is better than someone else at anything. We must tear down the competent and the strong -- raze them to the level of the incompetent and the weak... What would happen to a Thomas Edison today? If he survived school with his mind intact, he would be shackled by government regulators. His wealth would be confiscated by the IRS. He would be accused of 'unfair competition' for inventing so many more products than his competitors.[22]
On the other hand, Alexander Berkman suggests:
...equality does not mean an equal amount but equal opportunity... Do not make the mistake of identifying equality in liberty with the forced equality of the convict camp. True anarchist equality implies freedom, not quantity. It does not mean that every one must eat, drink, or wear the same things, do the same work, or live in the same manner. Far from it: the very reverse in fact... Individual needs and tastes differ, as appetites differ. It is equal opportunity to satisfy them that constitutes true equality... Far from levelling, such equality opens the door for the greatest possible variety of activity and development. For human character is diverse.[23]
The Cultural Theory of Risk distinguishes between hierarchists, who are positive towards both rules and groups, and egalitarianists, who are positive towards groups but negative towards rules.[24] This is by definition a form of "anarchist equality" as referred to by Berkman. The fabric of an "egalitarianist society" is thus held together by cooperation and implicit peer pressure rather than by explicit rules and punishment. However, Thompson et al. theorise that any society consisting of only one perspective, be it egalitarianist, hierarchist, individualist, fatalist or autonomist, will be inherently unstable: the claim is that an interplay between all these perspectives are required if each perspective is to be fulfilling. For instance, although an individualist according to Cultural Theory is aversive towards both principles and groups, individualism is not fulfilling if individual brilliance cannot be recognised by groups, or if individual brilliance cannot be made permanent in the form of principles.[24] Accordingly, egalitarianists have no power except through their presence, unless they (by definition, reluctantly) embrace principles which enable them to cooperate with fatalists and hierarchists. They will also have no individual sense of direction in the absence of a group. This could be mitigated by following individuals outside their group: autonomists or individualists.
