The Men's Water Polo team has announced the addition of Ryan McMillen to their already solid coaching staff of Head Coach Wolf Wigo and Assistant Coach John Abdou. A UC Santa Barbara alumnus, McMillen looks to give the Gauchos an extra edge and help the team climb to the top in the nation.
"I am excited for the opportunity to work with both the men's and women's water polo programs at UCSB," McMillen said. "Having played both as a goalkeeper and field player, I feel as though I have a unique perspective and hope to pass that along to our teams."
With all of the experience and success that McMillen brings to the program, the excitement for Gauchos water polo is even greater. "While still actively one of the best players in the country as a player, he brings over 15 years of coaching experience as well as an engaging personality that all the student-athletes will connect with immediately," Wigo said.
McMillen's passion and enthusiasm is evident as he is embracing his new role for the water polo program of UCSB. "Coaching with Wolf Wigo and John Abdou feels like being on the dream team and I am excited to see what we can accomplish together."
This weekend's Nor Cal Tournament will be the first action the team will see since the hiring of McMillen.
To go along with the continuing success and growth of the aquatics program here at UCSB, the school is in the midst of adding the new and innovative Athletics Aquatics Center. The state-of-the-art Aquatics Center will present a new and impressive atmosphere for the players, coaches and spectators.
Campus Pool played host to many great memories and world-class athletes like the 1979 Men's Water Polo NCAA Championship team, the 1989 national champion Women's Water Polo team and four-time Olympic gold medalist Jason Lezak. Along with these accomplishments, the new aquatics project is aimed toward continuing this tradition of excellence, as it will elevate the prestige of Gaucho Athletics.
The new innovative pool will not only be a state-of-the-art experience, but it will also add to UCSB's campus-wide effort in being eco-friendly. With the new Aquatics Center, approximately 428,000 pounds of carbon dioxide will be saved per year by the new innovative equipment and technology. The new facility will also save one million pounds of water per year due to the up-to-date equipment.
The new project will also hold a capacity of 1,450 spectator seats. What is more impressive about the new center is its estimated total of one million visitors and competitors over the first 10-year period.
Facing top tier competition, it is time for a new world class venue. Already an institution that achieves high in academics, UCSB is on the mission to achieve tremendous success and recognition in athletics as well. The new Athletics Aquatics Center is key to this mission as it paves the way for the future of Gaucho athletics and its run for championships.

"The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why" -- Mark Twain
Congrats. I bought a 2000 1100rt in June. My first BMW. I love it. Wife and i have logged about 3000 miles together and enjoyed them all... Ok, she doesn t like it when it rains. Other than that all is perfect.
Had the bike checked out by Big Twin in Boise, it got a clean bill of health other then the battery was so so, had them put in a new one. Took off from Boise about 4:00 pm, headed back home to Oregon, made 200 miles to Burns for the night. 25 degrees when I woke up this morning, waited till 10 am, it had warmed up to 52 degrees and hit the road. By the time I got to Bend it was time for some fun road that I knew- the Cascade Lakes Highway, one of the prettiest drives anywhere- Cascade mountains right on the side of the road and many beautiful lakes, nice pavement with lots of fast sweeping corners and no police today. One more side road off of highway 58 (which is also a nice drive) up to Waldo lake, one of the clearest lakes in the world, only a 25 mile extra on the trip home. When I pulled in the driveway odometer read 535 miles for the bikes first ride, a good way to start my new relationship.
Congrats on the new bike...sounds like a great one!
Bill Johnston
only concerns so far is; running straight down the road bike is quiet, as i bank into a corner either side, on or off thottle there is a humming noise, sounds like from the front of the bike but my hearing isn't great. Am suspisious of a front wheel bearing, but the noise is the same on either side and I can't feel any play in the wheel when up on the center stand. Any ideas? will tires side tread make a bit of noise? the front tire is almost new. Other concern is with the bike on the stand in gear there is about and inch of travel of rotating the wheel before all slack is taken up. The bike was inspected by Big Twin in Boise and nothing was mentioned amiss.
Hi Bruce. Congrats on the bike. Let's see a picture! Some smart techie will give you answers for your questions. That is not me

Hiya Bruce....Congrats on the new ride. I also just picked up an R1150RT, 2 owners, 30K miles and in pristine shape. I could not be happier. And even with my small size, 5'6" 140lbs, it handles really well. It did take a bit of getting used to the brakes (ABS) cause they really work,,,,very well.
But that will come as I gather more miles. Also I had forgotten that a big twin has a lot of decompression when you roll off the throttle, another thing I had to be aware of in the beginning.
I cannot comment on K bikes either as my first was an R90/6 '75 model. And decided to stay with the boxer engine. I still remember how I could, with relative ease, shave the valve covers to the point I had to replace one because I did manage to ware a hole in it. Now thats cornering.
My 2000 R1100R had about the same amount of slack in the drive line and that seemed to be normal, so I wouldn't worry about it.
What you have to watch for in these bikes is rear end play when you have your hands at 9 & 3 and again at 12 & 6. Push & pull with your hands on the tires in these two locations, any play is a problem. Just do a search and you'll find no end of rear end issue posts. Don't get too uptight about this issue, but it has happened on a few bikes.
Do include your pivot bearings as a maintenance item, and I would check them at around 25 K miles. There are options for them, but I still prefer the bearings and a pair costs under $ 100.00 if you have to replace them. Keep these torqued properly. By checking them at 25 K and then periodically thereafter, you get the chance to grease them and short cut any problems that are developing.
Great bike & enjoy it.

Demel has been a regular fixture in a Hammers back four which has conceded 28 goals in 22 games since returning to the Premier League, making 17 appearances in all competitions.
And the Ivorian revealed he is happy to cap regular first-team football with a new deal as he looks to put the injury problems of last season behind him.
"It's really good for me and I'm really happy to have a new deal with West Ham," he told the club's official website.
"I've had a good year this season, and even last year was good, despite the fact that I was injured for so long and struggled a bit.
|West Ham are 18/1 to beat Arsenal 2-1 with William Hill
"Last year was kind of difficult because when I signed, I had pre-season, and then unfortunately I got injured really quickly and it was hard to come back afterwards.
"But right now I feel good. I had a pre-season, we worked hard and I have to thank the medical staff for the job they have done with me.
"I feel good and I'm quite happy with what I'm doing right now, but I know that I can do even more."
Demel says he is now looking forward to Wednesday evening's Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, particularly considering he spent a season with the Gunners earlier in his career.
"To play Arsenal, against the big lads and the big teams, for every player, is a good feeling," he added.
"It's a good stadium and I still have some friends over there. It will be special but not too much, because I just spent a year there, so it's not a big deal.
"We're looking for a good result, because we need slowly to get the points in the tank. We're going there to get a result and I'm looking forward to a good game.
"Arsenal have lost many players, really good players and bought some new ones, who, I think need time to adapt.
"The transition is taking a bit of time, but they will be back, they'll be back at that level. Any time would be a good time to get my first West Ham goal, so why not Wednesday?"

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Mayflies Overview
Mayflies are aquatic insects that spend most of their lives in or around lakes or streams. Mayflies are unique because they are "the only insects where a winged form undergoes molting" (Wikipedia, 2013). They have three stages of development. The naiads (or nymphs) emerge from their eggs and find algae to eat. The naiads have gills on their abdomen. They represent incomplete metamorphosis. Within this stage they molt a few times over the course of a few months to a year. Their last molt brings them into the next stage called the subimago. The subimago is characterized by the addition of wings. The subimago molts one more time to the fully-fledged adult form called the imago. The abdomen of the imago is separated into ten segments. The imago are only concerned with reproduction. They do not eat during this stage. They usually live for a day or two. The mayflies will swarm over water in order to find mates. Oviposition occurs from a few minutes to a few hours after mating. Females lay their eggs on the surface of the water and the eggs sink to the bottom.

Gadgetry for Garments
I take pride in caring for my clothes and accessories, but I get frustrated when the very things I buy to help keep them looking their best either malfunction or just don't do what they say they will. Deciding enough was enough, I set out to find some really useful aids and gadgets that work. Here are my top five (in no particular order): A mesh laundry bag by Real Simple (and it is). With a fastener that stops the zipper from coming undone, the contents won't spill out and get tangled and mangled in the washer. It's not always possible to hand wash bras (although I'd recommend it). Look after your lingerie with this object resembling an oversized cat's play ball. With your bra safely inside, it'll be protected from being thrown around in...

Sensational Summer Footwear
Steve Madden Suttle sandal at Nordstrom and gladiator sandal from BCBG Waterside My grandmother used to say that if your feet hurt, it shows on your face. In the hottest months of a Southwest Florida summer, feet bear the brunt of the heat. We tend to be out and about more, participating in family activities, and those summer BBQs can mean consuming saltier foods, the result of which may be fluid retention and swollen feet. So what are the best shoes to beat the heat? Strappy sandals letting the air to our toes are cooling, but choose wider straps if you're standing for long periods of time. Otherwise, those sexy, narrow straps may feel more like strips of steel cutting into your feet by the end of the day. Flat shoes are the most comfortable in heat and humidity,...

Fabulous Father's Day
Father's Day was founded in 1910, two years after the successful introduction of Mother's Day, to celebrate fathers and honor their role in society. While mothers are showered with thoughtful gifts, poor old dads tend to be the butt of everyone's jokes, with gifts to match. A couple of years ago a poll by a national newspaper revealed that two of the top five most unwanted Father's Day gifts were novelty ties and socks with silly slogans. (The No.1 item in the poll, which also qualified as the most confusing, was a T-shirt sporting a picture of Darth Vader with the caption "World's Greatest Dad"—go figure.) So, with Father's Day on Sunday, here are my gift picks for dads which, depending on his style, are sure to please: For action-man dad, some bright...

Sizzling Swimwear
If there's one garment that many a woman would like to put off shopping for, it's an item of swimwear. I confess to being in that group and would happily wait for fashion to cycle back around to the return of the Victorian bathing suit. Bad news for me is that's not going to happen. Good news for all of us is there are so many different options, there really is something for everyone and every body type. Big swimwear trends this year are belted swimsuits, bandeau styles, one-shoulder suits, ruffles, and retro-inspired, high-waisted two-pieces. Colors abound, either in patterns or solid bold brights; metallics such as gold, pewter and bronze are edgy alternatives to staples such as black and navy. Some beachwear basics before you bare: Shaped bandeau...

Pens with Pizzazz
Surrounded as we are by so many wonderful gadgets and such electronic wizardry, we are all typing, texting and tapping out the written word, so it might appear that any writing instrument producing ink will do to sign the odd document that comes our way. My view is that's exactly why it's worth having something special with which to sign on the dotted line! One gentleman I know has an ever-expanding collection of pens, but he doesn't just keep them in a glass case to look at; he selects and uses a different one every day. In meetings, his pens become talking points, and in front of a new client they are a very effective ice-breaker. There is something extremely satisfying in holding a beautiful pen. The weight of it in your hand, the texture and feel of the casing, the...

Bags of Style
Do you regard the bags in your closet as more than just accessories? I've always felt that bags, just like jewelry, become part of our identity. We can express the different sides of our personalities with different bags—without changing our entire outfit. If you're required to wear a uniform or comply with a specific dress code, your bag becomes an even more important statement with which to express your style. I recently came across a collection of handmade bags crafted by an artist who takes a sculptural approach to her designs to bring out the natural beauty of the materials she uses. "For me it is more about form and spirit of design," says Barbara Snyderman, the Fort Myers-based bag and jewelry designer. She combines materials such as butter-soft leathers...

PORTLAND (AP) — The Portland Museum of Art has finished 2012 with the second-highest attendance in museum history and the highest visitor count in more than a decade.
The museum had nearly 178,000 visitors for the year, a 34 percent jump over 2011. The museum set a one-month attendance record in December, when nearly 26,000 people visited, drawn by a Winslow Homer exhibition.
Director Mark Bessire said the museum had a successful year in terms of attendance, membership, store and cafe sales, and fundraising. He said the museum's national reputation was boosted with the opening of its Winslow Homer art studio in Scarborough and its successful Homer exhibition.

Following news that Google refused to comply with a subpoena requiring the company to turn over search records from its database, much speculation swirled about the response from rivals MSN and Yahoo. MSN has broken its silence and now acknowledges that it did share search data, but no personal information. The subpoena was handed down by the US Department of Justice last summer, and was reportedly issued to gather data to support a child protection law that was struck down two years ago by the Supreme Court. Under that law, the government could punish pornography sites that made content easily accessible to minors.

Amarillo is a frequent stopover for travelers bound for Texas and beyond, so it's fitting that the city is home to the Jack Sisemore Traveland RV Museum and its celebration of the history, spirit, and quintessential vehicle of the family road-trip vacation.
Located on Interstate 27, a few miles south of its intersection with Interstate 40, the RV Museum opened in early 2012 at the seven-acre Sisemore RV dealership. The museum is an obvious attraction for RV enthusiasts (its guest book already has signatures representing 49 states and most continents), and it also provides an entertaining detour for travelers interested in road trips and Americana.
Jack Sisemore and his son, Trent, opened the museum to showcase their private collection of recreational vehicles, camping equipment, toy trailers, and rare motorcycles. But mostly, the museum is filled with love and enthusiasm for family travel.
Jack and Trent like to shake the hand of every visitor. Pretty soon, father or son will ask the tourists where they're from. One thing leads to another, and soon complete strangers are sharing stories about camping and memories of family trips.
"They'll say, 'Remember when we were little kids, and we went in one like this?'" Trent says. "It's not just an RV museum, it's about great memories. That's what we discovered. It's all about the connection for families."
The family connection for Trent and Jack is strong, too. Trent was only 14 when he began working for his dad. Then about 25 years ago, they started collecting RVs.
'It's not just an RV museum, it's about great memories. That's what we discovered. It's all about the connection for families.'
Their first vintage RV was a 1946 Tear Drop, an early travel trailer kit that used surplus aluminum available after World War II, such as airplane fenders. Trent and Jack found an original kit—the deluxe model with a "kitchen" that consisted of a tiny stove in the back. After they built the Tear Drop, they were hooked.
The father-son duo built their RV collection the old-fashioned way—traveling and horse-trading. "We happened to do this at just the right time," Trent says. "Now everybody is doing it, and it is harder to find the unusual."
One time, Jack and Trent were driving around town and saw a driver pulling a rare 1953 Fleetwood trailer. "She was stopped at a gas station," Trent recalls. "We asked her if she was interested in selling it. She was living in it. She was 84 years old. She said, 'I think it's time to quit.'" They bought the trailer on the spot and spent thousands of hours restoring it, just as they have restored most of the museum pieces.
Trailer by trailer, the idea of opening the museum grew. With the acquisition of the 1948 Flxible Bus that Robin Williams drove in the 2006 movie RV, the time was right.
The Sisemores concentrate on making the museum easy to visit. They don't charge admission, and visitors are free to wander in and around most of the trailers and RVs. You can take as many photographs as you like, especially sitting in the seat of the RV from Hollywood.
"We don't just want you to see an RV, but to see the cookie jar and the fishin' pole that went with it," Trent says.
Only one vehicle has a "Do Not Touch" sign: a 1921 Ford Lamsteed Kampkar. The Kampkar was engineered to mount on a Model T chassis. Anheuser-Busch, the St. Louis-based brewing company, built the Kampkar, which looks like a boxy Model T van. Why did the beer company make an RV? Jack figures Anheuser-Busch was branching out during the years of Prohibition.
Each RV is its own self-contained time capsule. You'll see turquoise appliances from the '60s and gold shag carpet from the '70s. A few RVs were barn finds that would make the cast of American Pickers proud. One 1972 Winnebago still boasts its original cushions and carpets.
Once you're done looking at the RVs, take some time to look at the ceiling. That's where Jack hangs his prized collection of motorcycles. Each bike has a story to tell, from Harley-Davidson and Yamaha to Triumph and Bultaco.
At the back of the museum, Jack and Trent re-created the Standard Oil Co. gas station that started the family business in 1963. The exhibit stands in honor of Jack Sisemore and the roots of the business empire he started when he first rented recreational vehicles at his gas station 39 years ago.
The Jack Sisemore Traveland RV Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, at 4341 Canyon Drive (Interstate 27) in Amarillo. For more information, call 806/358-4891.

Georgetown U. gets all clear after bomb threat
March 8, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials have given the all clear after investigating a bomb threat at Georgetown University's Washington, D.C., campus.
The university issued an alert at 4:45 p.m. Saturday saying there was a report of a bomb threat at the bookstore in the university's student center. Georgetown University spokeswoman Stacy Kerr said in an email around 6 p.m. that the building, which was evacuated, had been given the all clear by police.
Kerr said in a statement that the bookstore got a call around 4:30 p.m. from an unidentified man saying he left a package in the bookstore. When asked what was in the package, he replied a bomb.
Police were notified and swept the building. No packages were found.

The 2013 Chicago Auto Show marks the debut of a new cargo van from Chrysler's RAM brand. The 2014 Ram Promaster is based on a van from FIAT originally built for Europe. It will take on rivals like the Nissan NV, Mercedes Sprinter, Chevrolet Express and upcoming Ford Transit.
The Ram Promaster offers two engine choices. The standard engine is Chrysler's efficient Pentastar V6. That motor boasts 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. There's also an optional diesel engine. Sourced from Europe like the van itself, the 4-cylinder diesel makes 174 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. While Chrysler hasn't announced official fuel economy figures, it says the diesel Promaster will be the most fuel efficient van in its class. Both engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission; a manual transmission isn't available.
Unlike many rival cargo vans, the Promaster features unibody construction and front-wheel drive. Most cargo vans are rear-wheel drive and use truck-like body-on-frame construction, which is generally viewed as sturdier -- but also adds negatively impacts fuel economy and ride comfort. But like most of its competitors, the Promaster is offered with a long list of configuration options. Such choices include four overall lengths, three wheelbases and two roof heights.
The multitude of choices comes from FIAT, Chrysler's parent brand. The Promaster is sold as the FIAT Ducato in Europe, where demand for vans requires many shapes and sizes. American van buyers will likely appreciate the choices, as interior volume ranges as high as 530 cubic feet. Chrysler also boasts 17 floor-mounted tie-down rings to keep items in place. And the rear doors can swing 260 degrees for easy loading and unloading.
Chrysler has not yet announced when the 2014 Ram Promaster will go on sale, nor has it said if there will be a passenger version. It also hasn't confirmed pricing. The Nissan NV starts around $25,000, while the Chevrolet Express is closer to $26,000. The Promaster's priciest rival, the Mercedes Sprinter, starts at a whopping $37,285.
What it means to you: The new RAM Promaster gives commercial van buyers another option after years of stagnant competition.

Federal Appeals Court Finally Rejects Silly Rules Of Thumb For Calculating Patent Damages
from the made-up-rules,-made-up-results dept
In a ruling in a patent infringement lawsuit between Uniloc and Microsoft, the appeals court for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) finally pointed out just how ridiculous the 25% rule really is and suggested that it should die a quick death. The court noted how the 25% rule is widely used, and even how the district court was troubled by such a "rule of thumb" rather than any actual look into damages, but that since it was so widely used, the lower court effectively shrugged its shoulders, and let the 25% rule remain. The appeals court rejected this commonly used tool, however, noting serious problems with it. CAFC admits that it has been just as guilty in accepting the 25% rule in the past and many other courts have simply used it just because everyone else is using it -- but no one's ever really asked a court if it's legitimate. But, no longer:
This court now holds as a matter of Federal Circuit law that the 25 percent rule of thumb is a fundamentally flawed tool for determining a baseline royalty rate in a hypothetical negotiation. Evidence relying on the 25 percent rule of thumb is thus inadmissible under Daubert and the Federal Rules of Evidence, because it fails to tie a reasonable royalty base to the facts of the case at issue.The court then points out that the patent holder has the responsibility for demonstrating what the actual damages are and they must sufficiently tie the damages estimates to the facts of the case -- without doing that, and just using a rule of thumb, means that "the testimony must be excluded." The court doesn't beat around the bush here:
The meaning of these cases is clear: there must be a basis in fact to associate the royalty rates used in prior licenses to the particular hypothetical negotiation at issue in the case. The 25 percent rule of thumb as an abstract and largely theoretical construct fails to satisfy this fundamental requirement. The rule does not say any-thing about a particular hypothetical negotiation or reasonable royalty involving any particular technology, industry, or party. Relying on the 25 percent rule of thumb in a reasonable royalty calculation is far more unreliable and irrelevant than reliance on parties' unre-lated licenses, which we rejected in ResQNet and Lucent Technologies....Separately, CAFC also rejected the idea of using the "entire market value rule," in determining a reasonable royalty rate. Again, the court dismisses this commonly used rule as not being tied to the specifics of the situation. This rule involves a patent holder trying to determine the reasonable royalty rate on the overall market value of a product, rather than figuring out the actual market value of the invention in question. This trick is useful for patent holders because they can toss out some huge number, to make any (otherwise huge) number sound reasonable. For example, in this case, the patent holder pointed out that Microsoft had made "approximately $20 billion" selling "the infringing product." When you use an amount that large, then a few hundred million dollars seems "small." The full market value is misleading, and CAFC makes that clear:
.... Beginning from a fundamentally flawed premise and adjusting it based on legitimate considerations spe-cific to the facts of the case nevertheless results in a fundamentally flawed conclusion....
This case provides a good example of the danger of admitting consideration of the entire market value of the accused where the patented component does not create the basis for customer demand.... The disclosure that a company has made $19 billion dollars in revenue from an infringing product cannot help but skew the damages horizon for the jury, regardless of the contribution of the patented component to this revenue.The court highlights how the patent holder's lawyers played up the "approximately $20 billion," and mocked a proposed $7 million royalty as only being "an effective royalty of approximately .000035%," which ignored, of course, that the patent in question was a very, very, very minor part of the larger product. In fact, Uniloc's lawyer specifically asked a witness:
And at the end of the day, the in-fringer, Microsoft, who violated the patent law, they get to keep 99.9999% of the box and the inventor, whose patent they in-fringed, he gets the privilege of keeping .00003%?It's not hard to see how that clearly biases the jury. But CAFC is thankfully rejecting that too. While I often find that CAFC sides too strongly with patent holders, it's nice to see it pushing back a bit on some of the more ridiculous "rules of thumb" used for damages that are way out of scale with reality.

Best Practices for Using Cloud Files
What is Cloud Files used for?
There are many ways to utilize Cloud Files, but it is strongest when functioning as unlimited object storage on the Cloud, or when used as a website accelerator with the Content Delivery Network (CDN). Here we've compiled a few recommendations on ways to get the most out of Cloud Files.
We'll follow a couple of use-case scenarios here: Cloud Files as an object storage solution, and using Cloud Files for web site acceleration through the CDN.
Object Storage
At its core, Cloud Files is an object storage solution and is not designed for high IOPS (Input/output Operations Per Second). Instead, Cloud Files is designed for consistent reliability of data. The primary function of Cloud Files is to ensure that your data is available when you ask for it. This works best with relatively static files, as opposed to files that are frequently updated. As a result, it is impractical to run a database out of Cloud Files. You can't expect to write to the same object 20 times per second, Cloud Files is not designed for that. It was designed so that when you write to an object in Cloud Files, that object will be there each and every time you call for it.
Organize Content for Web Acceleration
Container Management
Using Multiple Containers
If you have an extremely large number of objects, we recommend storing them in multiple containers (you can have up to 500,000 containers per account in Cloud Files). When writing large numbers of objects to a single container, the limit of 100 object write requests per second per container may reduce overall performance.
How to Label Your Containers
When organizing your containers for an object storage solution, we recommend labeling the container based on type of storage, perhaps based on the segment of the application accessing it, and attaching an incremental number to plan ahead in case the number of objects gets too high, looking something like this (for example): personnel-00000.
Keep a Local Database of Your Container Structure
For users with a larger number of files, another recommendation is to keep a local copy of the container structure and listing so that you are not waiting on the container to list all the objects, 10,000 at a time. You can do this in a local database, significantly reducing the chance of a naming conflict and location of a specific object. That way if there is an update to an object, it is known in which container the object is located. This allows for a simple update to the object, without the need to list all the containers, providing a significantly reduced time for updates. This tip is best employed by customers using Cloud Files for an object storage solution, since these are frequently accessed programmatically, and will also grow organically over time. This also applies to any site that allows for additional content, such as an uploads section, which may quickly grow beyond the webmaster's expectations.
We recommend considering future growth with regards object count and usage. Any systems with both many millions of objects and very high object churn (such as creation and deletion) should have a fragmentation or sharding system to minimize any performance impacts. Keeping track of the object count can be done locally, and verified against the object count in the container by performing a HEAD on the container, and checking the Object Count.
Remember, containers in Cloud Files do not nest, and all objects in a single container are subject to the same limitations. There are applications which will fake a folder structure by adding the path to the beginning of the object name, which works for pathing in the CDN URLs as well. This allows for virtual pathing if needed. For object storage, this allows for better subdivision of slow growth closely-grouped data, meaning that you're unlikely to need to divide it out again later. For website acceleration, this allows pathing that displays in the browser, for example:
where the name of the object is ducks/funny/duckling.jpg.
Removing Containers and Container Data
All objects in a container must be deleted before the container itself can be deleted. Multiple containers allow for better threading of the deletion scripts. Content grows regardless of the use case, so it's best to plan ahead for this.
In addition to the performance benefit of reduced time in listings, you also get the improvement of being able to set the TTL (Time To Live value) for containers containing objects on the CDN. TTL can only be set on the Cloud Files container, and all objects inherit the container-level setting. A particular object in a container cannot have a TTL that is different than the other objects in the same container. This means that you could set longer TTL values on content that is unlikely to change often.
For website acceleration, you could use a longer TTL (at the container-level) for files that are updated infrequently, such as your CSS, javascript, and videos. At the same time, you can set a shorter TTL for rapidly changing objects, such as user uploads. Using an appropriate TTL for the object type in your container will improve performance since, the longer the TTL, the more consistent the performance as it renews the CDN cache from your cloud files store less frequently.

When I finally realized my niece's wedding day was fast approaching, I got serious about her gift, which had been languishing on my needles. I nearly made it, too, but five days before I was to leave for her wedding, I used up my last bit of yarn (including the test swatch yarn which I unraveled and used in the vain hope that it might suffice) and still had 18" of edging to complete.
I immediately ordered another skein and it actually arrived the day before I was to leave. I finished up the knitting but left the blocking until my return last Sunday. And now, at last, without further ado ..
Pattern: Girasole by Jared Flood
Yarn: Cascade Pastaza in Doeskin Heather (14 skeins plus a little bit of a 15th)
Needles: US Size 10 Knit Picks options (and dpns)
Finished size: Nearly 7 feet in diameter!
Modifications/Notes: My only mod was to go down a needle size; I did use the suggested yarn but I'm a loose knitter. (As evidenced by how huge this is, even with a smaller needle!) Fantastic pattern; Jared is brilliant!! I was tickled to learn the nifty circular cast-on.
Glorious weather this week. I played hooky yesterday and we went to the beach!

The Beautiful Black & White Home Theater
Being a Californian, we've always been stricken with a little bit of envy for other regional areas where homes offer basements as a common feature. Due to their limited ambient light environments, basements often make for the ideal home theater space, as illustrated in a recent issue of the Swedish edition of Home Theater magazine, by way of Minhembio. What was once a common den was converted into a cinephile's dream space, complete with a 108" projection screen and acoustic paneling to control the audio. There's even a standing desk HTPC in the back section to control the premium entertainment system.
Although purists would argue painting the majority of the room white isn't ideal (and it is true if the best image is what you're after due to the reflective quality of white walls), we love the overall effect of the white walls partnered up with the dark back wall and matching carpeting from an aesthetic standpoint. Even the placement of the acoustic paneling and accompanying black and white canvas artwork gives the whole space a unified presentation often lacking in most hodge podge home theater setups that give home theaters a bad name, offering an overall airy and spacious atmosphere, even though the setup resides within the confines of a basement.
More details about this basement home theater over at Min Hembio.

J.D. Cerna's NOT AS CUTE AS PICTURE Returns to the Duplex, 2/8-3/22
"Not as Cute as Picture", a GLAAD-Media Award Nominee for Outstanding Theater: Washinton DC, played to sold out houses, January 11-12 of this year and returns to The Duplex (61 Christopher St., NYC - at 7th Ave.) for four additional performances on Feb. 8 & 22 and March 8 & 22 - all performances are at 9:30 pm.
The semi-autobiographical "Not as Cute", written and performed by J.D. Cerna, directed by Nick Demos (Oklahoma), partner in Demos/Bizar Entertainment (producer of Tony-Award winner, Memphis), first ran in Washington, D.C. It received rave reviews from Patrick Folliard of The Washington Blade who said it was, "Hilarious" and added, "It's the honesty with which Cerna writes that makes his show so great." Jolene Munch, lead theatre critic for The Washington Examiner wrote, "Not as Cute presents a real-life journey of sorts, via segments of one gay actor?s dream of becoming a movie star. Cerna's brilliantly developed impersonations prove his extreme talent as a performer." And Dan Via of The Washington Post compared it to the best of John Leguizamo's one-man stage performances.
The play is set in 1994, a time when young gay man's pursuit of purpose was often obstructed by the crashing reality of AIDS. However, as Jolene Munch writes, "Although the play masks itself as a 'gay-themed story', the odyssey itself is remarkably similar in shape and dynamics to the journey each of us takes - gay, straight, bisexual, biased, black, white, Christian, Jewish or maybe most of all -- alive."
J.D.Cerna is a brilliant writer/actor who uses a wicked sense of humor and his personal life experiences and perspectives to amplify the discussion around important LGBT issues and in particular, his own observations as a gay man.
J.D. is a former columnist for the Washington Blade (2002-2005), and an accomplished writer whose brilliant story, "Victim and Bully No More" was published by the Advocate and became the online news site's cover story for several months. He is currently the voice of "Beau Handsome" on the Emmy-winning animated "WordGirl" on PBS Kids. He has had a number of notable roles on stage and films that include playing opposite Mary Beth Hurt as her son in "Alkali, Iowa" one of four vignettes in the 1997 award-winning film, "Boys Life 2" that the New York Times described as, "a program of short films about young men struggling to come to terms with their homosexuality in potentially hostile environments."
"Not as Cute as Picture" is written and performed by J.D. Cerna. It is directed by Nick Demos.
Performance Dates & Time
Friday Feb 8th/Friday Feb 22nd at 9:30 pm
Friday March 8th/Friday March 22nd at 9:30 pm
The cover charge is $10 with a two-drink minimum.

Years of ultra-loose monetary policy appear to have convinced the market that inflation has – temporarily, at least – ceased to be a concern. Yet, even in the disinflationary environment of the last few years, inflation has eroded capital and stunted returns. By blending inflation protection and capital growth in one strategy, Tommaso Mancuso, Head of Hermes Multi Asset, aims to provide smoother absolute returns in real terms for investors.
Inflation is a relentless phenomenon that has manifested in a variety of scenarios over time. When combined with the power of compounding, it can severely damage investors' capital. For instance, despite the disinflation of recent years, the value of £100 in 2010 is worth only £84 today.
Figure 1. Shrinking: the pound in your pocket
Source: Hermes, Bloomberg as at 31 December 2015
The duration and severity of inflation cycles is difficult to forecast, meaning that in the current environment there is a real chance that investors are overlooking the risk of a sudden spike in inflation – such as the previous peak of 5.6% in 2010-2011.
Real returns are at risk
Strategies seeking strong absolute returns should aim to generate substantial capital growth above inflation. Failing to achieve this target would mean that investors lose capital in real terms. Given the risk of inflation surprises, maintaining a robust defence against inflation throughout the cycle is essential.
The case for inflation hedging may be straightforward, but the means of doing so are not. No single asset, including some of the most popular hedges, consistently protects against or outperforms inflation in the long term:
• Inflation-linked bonds are contractually linked to inflation but their prices are heavily exposed to interest rate and duration risk. In addition, the market has priced in negative yields from the instruments, guaranteeing losses for investors who hold them to maturity.
• Gold tends to be an ineffective hedge because it reacts to the fear of inflation rather than moving with realised inflation.
• Property is an effective inflation hedge when the economy is growing. However, when economic growth is slower or recessionary, this characteristic weakens.
• Equities are expected to outperform inflation, but only tend to do so in the very long term. Assuming a three-year holding period and using data from the last 30 years, equities would have outperformed inflation two-thirds of the time but would have incurred significant losses at other points.
With no single asset able to provide long-term inflation protection, we believe in dynamically managing a portfolio of assets that can either match or outperform inflation. This selection of assets should be adjusted as inflationary conditions, or an asset's relationship with inflation, change.
Generating and defending growth
In the Hermes Multi Asset Inflation Fund (MAIF), we divide our assets into two pools, matching and enhancing, with the aim of protecting and growing capital respectively. To generate attractive absolute returns, we believe that it is not enough to aim to beat an inflation benchmark. Rather, our assessment of the changing relationships between assets and inflation drives our entire investment process, from research through to dynamic asset allocation.
Our focus on inflation should enable us to capture its efficiency as a source of returns. If investable, the UK Retail Price Index (RPI) would be a compelling asset, offering smoother risk-adjusted returns compared to global equity, credit, rate or commodity markets. MAIF should have a similar return profile to RPI as it targets a low tracking error to inflation. As of 30 June 2016, the fund performance was 3.4% year-to-date and 0.78% annualised since inception[1]. The value of investments and income from them may go down as well as up, and you may not get back the original amount invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and targets are not guaranteed.
MAIF has a different 'sweet spot' in the economic cycle compared to other growth funds due to its focus on inflation protection and sustainable growth. The Fund performs best in an inflationary environment regardless of underlying economic growth, differentiating it from traditional absolute and total-return strategies, whose performance is more dependent on growth.

For illustrative purposes only. The schematic represents the views of the fund manager and are not a reliable indicator of future results. Targets are not guaranteed.
Our target
By dynamically allocating to a diverse range of assets that can either match or outperform inflation, MAIF aims to deliver a total return of RPI plus 3% over rolling three-year periods while maintaining a low tracking error to inflation.

Best New Products of March 2008
First frozen nutritional meals with fruit
From fighting off the urge to munch during the afternoon slump to staring into the refrigerator for a sweet, late-night treat, many women struggle to overcome daily cravings that can destroy their healthy eating plans. A recent national survey of 1,092 women, conducted by Weight Watchers Smart Ones and Impulse Research Corp. found 63 percent experience food cravings at least once a day, 91 percent say they do not consume the recommended four daily servings (or two cups) of fruit, and seven out of 10 women say these temptations keep them from sticking to a healthy eating plan. In fact, 79 percent of women crave sweets more than anything.
So Pittsburgh-based H.J. Heinz Co. introduces Weight Watchers Smart Ones Fruit Inspirations, the first line of frozen nutritional meals to feature real fruit combined with lean protein and crispy vegetables. With fewer than 350 calories and 8g of fat or less per serving, each entree contains pieces of fruit such as mandarin orange, pineapple, mango or cranberry.
They were developed with the help of celebrity chef Devin Alexander, author of "The Biggest Loser Cookbook" and host of Discovery Health's "Healthy Decadence." Varieties include: Orange Sesame Chicken (breaded chicken tenderloins and mandarin oranges in a sesame orange sauce with rice); Pineapple Beef Teriyaki (tender strips of beef, diced pineapple and a vegetable medley in a sweet teriyaki sauce with rice); Honey Mango Barbeque Chicken (white meat chicken with diced mangos in a honey barbeque sauce with spinach and Asiago cheese orzo pasta); and Cranberry Turkey Medallions (roasted turkey medallions in a lightly spiced cranberry sauce paired with roasted potato wedges, sliced carrots and green beans).
"Consumers are looking for convenient ways to add fruit to their daily meals, and Weight Watchers Smart Ones provide a nutritious, delicious solution for making healthy eating choices throughout the day," says John Bennett, associate director, Weight Watchers Smart Ones. "We are committed to satisfying consumers' food cravings 24/7 by offering a variety of healthier options that deliver the taste and intense flavors they love."
Suggested retail price is $3.
Del Monte introduces two healthier fruits
Del Monte Foods, San Francisco, rolls out two healthy packaged fruit products. Del Monte Healthy Kids claims to be the first fortified canned fruit product for children that provides vitamins and calcium. And Del Monte Lite 100 Calorie Fruit offers the same great taste as traditional canned fruit with fewer calories and is ideal for a convenient, on-the-go snack.
Del Monte Healthy Kids products, available in Peach and Fruit Cocktail varieties, are fortified with vitamin A (15 percent of DRV) and C (100 percent of DRV), as well as calcium (10 percent of DRV), and are preservative-free and packed in extra light syrup.
Packaged in 100-calorie cans, Del Monte Lite 100 Calorie Fruit products have fewer calories than traditional canned fruit, are preservative-free and packed in an artificially and naturally sweetened extra light syrup. Varieties include Sliced Cling Peaches, Pear Halves and Fruit Cocktail.
"Del Monte is committed to nourishing families and enriching lives every day, and we know that busy consumers are continuing to look for delicious and convenient options when it comes to getting more fruit into their diet," says Apu Mody, senior vice president, Del Monte Consumer Products. "Del Monte Healthy Kids and Del Monte Lite 100 Calorie Fruit make it easier for today's busy families to get the fruit they need, while helping them reach their important health and wellness goals in 2008."
Suggested retail price for a 15-oz. can of Healthy Kids is $1.57, and Del Monte Lite costs 99 cents.
Buzz-worthy Snickers debuts
With more than 80 percent of American adults consuming caffeine each year, the market for caffeinated products is a buzz-worthy trend. According to a survey of 1,088 consumers aged 18-24 by Impulse Research, conducted for Snickers, 84 percent said they consume caffeinated beverages on a daily basis, yet only 19 percent are satisfied with the boost they get from soft drinks, coffee or energy drinks. Seventy percent rank taste as the most important quality followed by an energy recharge (64 percent).
Hackettstown, N.J.-based Mars Snackfood US introduces Snickers Charged, the first candy bar from the brand that provides a boost of energy with taurine, B vitamins and added caffeine (60 mg). In comparison, an 8-oz. soft drink contains 20-40mg of caffeine, an 8-oz. coffee has 65-120mg and an 8-oz. energy drink carries 72-80mg of caffeine.
To meet consumer needs and help millions of Americans take back their energy-zapped afternoons, Snickers proclaims the post-lunch, pre-dinner hour between 2 and 3 p.m. the Snickers Charged Re-Power Hour.
"Snickers Charged offers consumers a bar of substance and a delicious and satisfying way to tackle the afternoon hours when one needs to re-power," says Michele Kessler, vice president, marketing." Research shows that consumers desire a product that not only provides a boost of energy but is also satisfying in taste."
Suggested retail price for a 1.83-oz. bar is 65 cents.

The first thing they did was develop a Tetris game clone and offered it on floppy disks in the 'little ads' in Computer Magazine. Surprisingly, this caught on and people asked for more. JMC writes: "This was the time CD-ROM games like 'The 7th Guest' started to appear and we decided to do a CD-ROM and teamed with 'Private', one of the bigger players in the over-18 games market. We released a whole bunch of our CD ROMs including 'Private Prison' and 'Private Castle''.
Around the same time, IBM held a "Da Vinci" contest where 1st prizes included color laptops (which cost about $8000 back then). As Image-Line didn't have a lot of cash to spare we reworked an existing game , mailed it in and won 1st prize in the multimedia category. The most important part wasn't the win, but that we met a 19 year old developer called Didier Dambrin (nicknamed Gol).
Didier not only won 1st in the 'Game' category but the 'Grand prize' too, a trip to the US. We immediately saw his talent and somehow convinced him to come and work for us. Gol's first game for us was Private Investigator and it involved some gruesome game play, pretty mild by today's standards, that caused the rapper Ice-T to shout: "This game beats cocaine!"... after playing if for like half an hour on our booth on the adult show in Las Vegas.
We decided to use Gol's talent for something better and asked him to develop a platform game called Eat This. Sadly enough for us, this was the time that everyone went 3D and most of it went by unnoticed. You can still download and check out the demo on our Eat This page. This platform game really shows off Gol's coding and visual skills (remember this was made in 1998).
The rest of our developers continued on our other products like Fact2000 (invoicing software), E-OfficeDirect (a content-based web tool that was the precursor of EZGenerator). We even topped the Belgian game charts 4 years in a row with the CD version of a popular Belgian TV show called Blokken (funnily enough, based on Tetris also).
Meanwhile, Gol was being drawn into the music scene by applications like Hammerhead and Rebirth 338. He had the idea of merging both into a stepsequencer with rows and steps, so he started developing FruityLoops. When he dropped it on our machines it was a simple, midi-only Step Sequencer that we really couldn't place our existing product range leaving us scratching our heads how to market it.
This turned out not to be a problem as people went WILD about it and sucked our servers dry (downloading the demo) days after launch. It was also around this time we came up with the idea of Lifetime Free Updates for the program, that existing customers should get the latest version of the software for free.
The first couple of years were pretty tough as there were hardly any sales and we always had to beg people to host the demo on their servers (thanks Maz!). To generate some additional income, Gol developed an EJay type program called FruityTracks that was "OEMed" for Mattel into Pro-DJ (for France & UK) and Radio 538 Music Machine (for Holland & Belgium). During this time FruityLoops slowly grew from a simple midi drum machine into the fully featured virtual studio that a wide range of musicians are using today.
How FruityLoops became FL Studio…
After producing FruityLoops for about four years we changed the name to FL Studio, here's why:
Kelloggs decided to challenge us when we applied for the FruityLoops trademark in the US. We had a very strong case AND we received the trademark in Europe as the two markets are obviously separated. But later they claimed to have released CDs and games in their cereal boxes, and as we didn't want to waste money fighting them in court for 5 years ...
''Fruity' seems to have all sorts of meanings and innuendo associated with it that we thought best to avoid for the sake of international marketing appeal.
The 'loops' part of the name implied that music was made from pre-canned loops and no 'musician' wants to be associated with that. We even had one customer almost lose a contract because their label heard about them using FruityLoops and believed they were using a 'pre-canned loops' application.
Program development was in the opposite direction to Acid/Ejay, so people buying 'FruityLoops' thinking it was a similar app didn't have a clue what to do when they were confronted with a Step Sequencer and Piano Roll.
No one ever took the 'FruityLoops' name seriously. Whenever we went to a meeting to discuss a possible bundle with a hardware manufacturer, we had to excuse ourselves and explain for half an hour that it WAS a real music production package, while the marketing managers on the opposite side of the table were looking at us with grins on their faces.
Anyway, since we changed the name we have received a lot more credibility and our customers no longer seem to be ashamed to admit what application they are using to make music. The FL Studio demo is now downloaded over 30,000 times PER DAY and is used by some of the biggest names in the industry. We have definitely come a long way thanks to our customers support.

New Graduates Fit Nicely in the Breed-Leading, High-Components Lineup at Select Sires
PLAIN CITY, Ohio, April 12, 2012 - Following the April 2012 release of genetic evaluations, Select Sires' high-components breeds lineup continues to offer a wide variety of breed leaders to help dairy producers increase the value of their herds. With the addition of three new graduates in three different breeds, the great selection of elite sires at Select Sires gets even better.
Jersey Graduate GANSTER Ranks Among Top 20 JPI Sires
With the April summaries, Select Sires posts five sires among Jersey's top 20 for GJPI™ with 236JE146 ISDK DJ ZUMA (+223 GJPI, No. 3); 236JE3 ISDK Q IMPULS (+184 GJPI, No. 8); 7JE1100 Cave Creek KANOO-ET (+172 GJPI, No. 15); new release 7JE965 Golden Meadows Abes GANSTER (+169 GJPI, No. 16); and 7JE1000 Richies Jace TBONE A364 (+161 GJPI, No. 19). Zeroing in on those whose Reliability has reached 97% or greater, IMPULS and TBONE are No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
Exceptional type sires always have a place in the market, and Select Sires doesn't disappoint with three sires among the top 10 for PTAT. With the addition of more than 500 new daughters to his type proof and more than 1,000 to his production proof, TBONE continues to impress, siring daughters that are built to last. At +2.1 PTAT, he is Select's No. 1 type improver and No. 3 in the breed. Joining TBONE in the top 10 are December graduate 7JE962 Buttercrest SUCCESS-ET and 7JE859 Chasin-Rainbows Act RILEY-ET, each with +1.9 PTAT and tied at No. 6. Now at 90% Reliability, RILEY continues to produce the customer-satisfaction kind. He ranks No. 3 for Daughter Pregnancy Rate (+1.9) and among the top 10 for Productive Life (+5.1) and Jersey Udder Index™ (JUI™) at +5.42. With a Sire Conception Rate of +3.9, this Superior Settler™ is one to highlight as the weather heats up.
RILEY and TBONE have gender SELECTed™ semen available.
New graduate 7JE965 Golden Meadows Abes GANSTER is an Abe son out of an Excellent-90% 7JE563 Sil-Mist RMBM Buttons BRAZO-ET dam. His grandam is Buttercrest Klassic Glow-ET (VG-89%), the 9JE172 Eastglen Alf KLASSIC-ET daughter who topped the National Heifer Sale in 2002 and produced more than 32,000 pounds of milk and almost 1,600 pounds of fat. This FeedPRO® sire produces hard-working daughters with favorable production (+1,025 M, +.07% F, +60 F, +.07% P, +50 P). He ranks among the breed's leaders for protein at No. 5.
Get Your Show Whites Ready
Ranked No. 2 in the breed for Type (+1.0 PTAT), 7BS900 Blessing Tex BRAIDEN ET "E92" joins Select Sires" Brown Swiss lineup as a proven sire of show winners with the 2011 Reserve All-American winter calf, Blessing Braiden Bounty, and an All-American senior two-year-old nomination for his daughter, Blessing Braiden Barbie "VG89 E90MS". These credentials have earned a Showcase Selections™ designation for BRAIDEN. He was born to produce winners. Sired by Savage-Leigh Tex ET, a maternal brother to the popular 7BS813 Savage-Leigh TRESSEL ET, he is backed by two Excellent dams, each with over 37,000 pounds of milk. The maternal great grandsire is Mort Patrick Tom ET, who was known as an udder improver and no doubt passed these genes on to BRAIDEN, who ranks third in the breed for Udder Composite (+1.31).
Guernsey Program Continues to Excel
With the April summaries, Select Sires' Guernsey program continues to excel in all areas and offers outstanding sires for every customer's needs. Five of the most well-rounded sires of the breed top Guernsey's PTI list led by the No. 1 sire, 7GU398 Sniders Ronalds ALSTAR (+164 PTI). Alstar's name represents him well as he also is the breed's leader for Milk (+1,143), Fat (+48), Net Merit dollars (+$542), Cheese Merit dollars (+$508), Fluid Merit dollars (+$578), and Daughter Pregnancy Rate (+2.5). His daughters inspire customer satisfaction with great feet and legs (+2.20 FLC, No. 3) and superior Productive Life (+5.4, No. 3). Earning Select's FeedPRO designation, you can further expect ALSTAR's daughters to be very efficient cows that increase income over feed cost.
Rounding out the listing of top ten PTI sires from Select are 7GU405 Golden J Ronald GRUMPY (+147, No. 2), 7GU428 Golden J Skipper GARY (+108, No. 8), 7GU412 Lang Haven Decisions NATURAL (+102, No. 9), and 7GU394 Penny Lane Royal Oak TURLEY (+96, No. 10).
In addition to sharing the PTI spotlight with his maternal brother, GRUMPY, December graduate GARY combines superior milk production (+925 M, No. 2) with outstanding type (+1.2 PTAT, No. 8). He sires daughters that are tall with a great balance of strength and dairy form and splendid udders (+1.10 UDC).
BILLICK Adds Daughters, Increases Milk
7AY86 Palmyra Raven BILLICK added 25 new daughters to his production proof with the April summaries and saw a 250-pound boost in Milk (+760), which ranks him among the Ayrshire breed's top five production sires. BILLICK advances dairy form, increases rear udder width and height and is an overall type improver (+0.5 PTAT).
Now at 95% Reliability, 7AY84 Palmyra Tri-Star BURDETTE-ET remains the breed leader for type (+1.9 PTAT), takes the top spot for PTI (+532) and is the breed's No. 2 sire for Net Merit dollar value (+$404). Look to BURDETTE to improve longevity (+3.3 PL) and daughter fertility (+1.0 DPR). BURDETTE has earned the Showcase Selections logo as a proven sire of many show winners, and with gender SELECTed™ semen available, breeders can produce even more fancy young heifers that are sure to become profitable cows.
New Milking Shorthorn Sire Ready to Fill the Bulk Tank
7MS347 Mysha-Wo Advent LIRIANO-ET joins Select Sires' active lineup as a big-league milk sire (+1,705 M) with excellent components (+71 F, +45 P). Early indications on type for LIRIANO, a son of 7HO7872 KHW Kite ADVENT-RED-ET out of an Excellent (92-2E-EX-MS) All-American dam, are also very favorable. To his credit, he has already sired All-American-nominated daughters in Corstar Liriano Maize (VG-89), Honorable Mention All-American junior two-year-old, 2011, and Buckeye Knoll Liriano Pila, Unanimous All-American and Junior All-American fall yearling, 2011. Look for official type data on LIRIANO in August.

How to set up your first cymbals
Every beginning drummer faces the same question: What is the best way to position the first basic cymbal set-up around the drum kit? The knowledge and experience that will help to guarantee a relaxed playing position on the drum kit is not something that the beginning drummer has. An important issue in ensuring comfortable playing is the correct positioning of the cymbals. Following are some valuable guidelines for the ambitious beginner.
The drum throne is the center of every drum kit and is also the most ergonomically crucial spot. Starting from here, it is essential that everything is comfortably accessible and easy to reach without having to twist or bend. All cymbals should lean and face towards the throne. This ensures long lasting and comfortable playing without physical problems.
NOTE: Positioning of cymbals is listed under the assumption of the drummer being right-handed. If the drummer is left-handed, please reverse the set-up.
CYMBAL SET-UP (from left to right)
Which crash cymbal weight corresponds with which style of music?
The MEINL Byzance Series crashes are available in three different weights: thin, medium thin, and medium. Thin crashes have a fairly dark sound. They respond very quickly and have a short sustain. They are ideal for lighter and softer playing styles like Jazz and Fusion. Medium thin crashes show more richness and volume in their sound. They are ideal for Jazz, Fusion and Pop while offering a more cutting sound. Medium crashes reveal a full and rich sound with the ability to cut through a louder mix. They can be used in Jazz, Pop and Rock Music because of their wide frequency spectrum.

Deciding when to start drawing Social Security can be one of the toughest decisions that a new or near retiree can make. For most, delaying Social Security is the preferred option — in fact, it may your best investment decision.
Our friend, Gully, recently retired at age 62. Like many, she is really smart in her chosen field, but she admits to being a financial neophyte. Her brother had advised her to start Social Security right away.
That was a mistake on two counts: (1) She didn't realize that she will lose almost half of her Social Security because of her consulting business, and (2) she has enough savings to delay the start of Social Security significantly. Fortunately, she can return the few months of Social Security money she has already received and start when older.
Her brother likely got one of those terribly misleading Internet messages being circulated that "prove" it's better to start Social Security at 62 and buy a supplemental immediate annuity or draw more savings out every year. This analysis is wrong on so many counts including assumptions of continuous very high return on investments throughout retirement, quotes for fixed-payment annuities instead of cost-of-living-adjusted (COLA) ones, and failure to account for spousal benefits both while the primary earner is alive or dead.
It turns out that the part of her savings she can use for support before starting Social Security will be about the best investment she can make. The reasons are simple: Each year of delay before age 70 provides a Social Security increase of about 8% plus inflation. She can get up to 78% more lifetime income (plus inflation) if she would want to delay till 70.
A low earning spouse can get up to 50% of the high earner's full-retirement-age (FRA) benefit and 100% of the high earner's FRA benefit on death of the high earner. The FRA for most people is now age 66.
The extra income has a better guarantee than any investment, even an insured one. Unlike private insurance where a female gets lower payments because they usually live longer, a female gets the same Social Security benefits as a male. This is almost a no-brainer.
Numerical comparisons
We'll compare what Gully would have to do at 62 in order to get the same income as would come from delaying the start of Social Security to 66 or even 70. For most of the cases below, the major assumption is that return on investments equals inflation. Be aware that few retirees get returns much better than inflation, particularly when elderly and conservatively invested. Nevertheless, we'll look at higher returns as well.
The first thing we have to understand is the age/payment relation for Social Security.
Social Security payments: $1,000 FRA benefit
|Start Social Security
The table above shows benefits for a full-retirement-age (FRA) of age 66 and a FRA benefit of $1,000. (Gully's FRA benefit likely will be more than this, but we'll continue to use $1,000 in the examples.) The main assumption is that there will be no Social Security reduction from any retirement wages before the FRA and that the lower income spouse's FRA benefit is less than 1/2 of the higher spouse's. If both spouses have about the same FRA benefit, then in some cases it's even better to delay the start of Social Security because a spouse can file a "restricted application" and draw a spousal benefit until starting the spouse's own benefit at 70.
To determine the best approach, we also need quotes for immediate annuities with cost-of-living-adjustments (COLA) and survivor benefits that approach the benefits of Social Security. Real COLA immediate annuities are almost impossible to find now, so you have to look for the few that will provide a fixed annual adjustment percentage (e.g., 3%) that you think will match that of Social Security's. We got our quotes from NewRetirement.com. NewRetirement offers quotes for COLAs of 0%, 3% and 5% and survivor benefits of 50%, 75% and 100% from highly rated insurers.

Nate Wolters Signs with the Milwaukee Bucks
Step two of Nate Wolters' journey to the NBA is complete.
A little more than a month after landing with the Milwaukee Bucks on draft night, the former South Dakota State guard is now officially a member of the NBA team after signing his contract Thursday.
Step one came in late June when Wolters was drafted in the second round (#38 overall) by the Washington Wizards, who promptly dealt him to the Philadelphia 76ers, who turned around sent him to Milwaukee.
Last month, Wolters played in five summer league games for the bucks in Las Vegas, averaging 23 minutes, 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists a game. He shot 41% from the floor, 67% from the free throw line. Wolters led the Bucks with 14 assists. His 7 steals were second most on the team.

Paradise Hill Designs' Reclaimed Barn Wood
Living the simple life in a rustic cabin, Rick and Heidi spend their days collecting reclaimed wood for their beautiful handmade boxes, frames, jewelry and more. They collaborate on designs that are both rustic and elegant in a workshop built by Rick on their rural property.
What started out as a philosophy of "do what you can with what you've got," their life in rural British Columbia turned into a wonderful hobby that makes use of reclaimed wood and provides them with a rich and creative life.
They got their start building furniture for their rustic home from wood collected on their property, getting an extra boost as their pieces proved to be a hit at local craft markets. All of their pieces use wood collected from the Northern Interior of British Columbia where fences, barns and buildings from ranches and ghost towns are still abundant. The natural weathering on the wood remains intact in combination with Heidi's lovely woodburnings of illustrations of the plants and creatures of BC and Rick's charming woodworks.
The couple have a knack for capturing rural British Columbia in their works while still staying true to their individual styles. Paradise Hill Designs range from $20 - $40 and are available online through their etsy shop and craft markets in Northern British Columbia, Canada, such as 'Wintergold' in Smithers, B.C. and 'Artisans of the North' in Prince George, B.C.
We like to live by the three words 'less is more' as much as possible. It can apply to almost anything. Choosing food that is the least refined, fewer but high quality pieces of clothing, a smaller living space that requires less upkeep, working from home or as close to home as possible.

I have recently picked up 35mm photography again and have sent my first roll of film off to be processed. The camera I have been using is an Olympus OM-10 and Kodak Colour film, I will show the results when they return.
I had one problem, where to get the film developed. Jessops and alike are really average at film processing so I went looking on the net for a small company that had a proven track record and was reliable.
After searching for a while, I found Fuji Digital Imaging a small shop in Burnley, Lancashire. I plan to get all my 35mm Film Processinghere and will show my results when I receive them. But from the reviews I here they offer a fast quality service and that staff are very helpful too.

The profile of the gunman responsible for 27 deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary School is all too familiar, as is the massacre itself. Here was a young man alienated from his community, known to be isolated and withdrawn and pegged by many as being a bit "off." Clearly, Adam Lanza and those who preceded him in carrying out acts of mass violence were troubled far beyond their ability to connect with resources for getting help. The ramifications of this chasm can be heartbreakingly profound, and in making expanded mental health services a priority, Gov. John Hickenlooper is attempting to address a critical component of a complex set of factors that leaves too many people separated from the help they need - and consequently puts them and others at risk.
Hickenlooper's plan to expand mental health services by opening five new walk-in clinics across the state and implementing a statewide crisis hotline will not solve all the mental health problems in Colorado. The $18.5 million price tag attached to the plan - which requires legislative approval - is a pittance, given the stakes. If one person intent on committing an act of public violence is prevented from purchasing a gun because of the plan's provision that would link mental-health commitment records with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation database for background checks, the cost will have been worth it. The many Coloradans who stand to gain from increased access to mental health care make the plan a bargain. It is money well spent, at a time where too many seem to be suffering too much.
The tragic circumstances that spurred Hickenlooper to call for the plan - July's massacre in an Aurora movie theatre that left 12 dead and 58 wounded - are seeming less an anomaly than a troubling trend made profoundly clear after the Connecticut shooting last week. James Holmes, the man accused of carrying out the theatre shootings, is known to have long struggled with mental health issues. Perhaps the services Hickenlooper proposes could have stopped him from making those deeply personal challenges an overwhelmingly violent public problem. It is impossible to know, but there is every reason to try.
But Holmes and Lanza, however troublingly prevalent such stories are becoming, remain outliers. Far more people struggle quietly and more or less functionally with mental health challenges, unsure of where to go for help, or of limited means to acquire it. While there may not be a threat of violence at the far end of this suffering for most people, there is still great pain - however personal. If there is a way for the state to facilitate some alleviation of that pain by providing services where they are sorely lacking, individuals will be strengthened and, as a result, the statewide community will benefit.
If lives are saved - one at a time, or many - the program will have been a resounding success. It is worth the gamble, regardless.

Flanders Fields
From 1914 to 1918 Flanders Fields was a major battle theatre in the First World War. A million soldiers from more than 50 different countries were wounded, missing or killed in action here. Entire cities and villages were destroyed, their population on the run. Ypres and Passchendaele became worldwide symbols for the senselessness of war. Today, the peaceful region still bears witness to this history in monuments, museums, cemeteries and the countless individual stories that link it with the world.

Okay I have totally been out of the Twi FF loop lately. I only have one story on alert (Inside Man), and have not been able to find anythign else that takes my fancy lately. Does anyone have any reccs they want to share? I'm looking for something quite angsty, with well-developed characters, preferably AH. Lemons are not a pre-requisite. I've had enough of lemons at the moment lol.
Also, I read a recc for something recently. Was it possibly called The Masens? Or something liek that? About a band. And the first chapter was Bella reading a story to her daughter about them... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
