Study Abroad Shoulders HOW VIRGINIA TECH'S CHICAGO STUDIO ENHANCES ITS ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS' EDUCATION Steeped in a strong foundation of modernist thinking, Virginia Tech's School of Architecture + Design has had a welldecorated history of preparing students to meet the challenges of their future careers. Situated amongst the picturesque mountains of southwest Virginia, Blacksburg offers a quiet and rural environment for aspiring architects to work toward their five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree. One of the college's underlying educational philosophies is to challenge the students to not just "find the answer" but to also help define the questions and problems that require solving. As current Dean Jack Davis, FAIA, phrases it, "architecture is not so much about problem solving as it is about thoughtful alternative generating. Problem solving alone is too often focused on a single response, rather than exploring alternative design scenarios for the best environmental condition." In advance of their fifth-year thesis project, fourth-year students are encouraged to apply to programs that provide an alternate curriculum and setting for a semester. There are programs in Washington D.C./Alexandria, Va., and Europe, as well as individual internships. Over the last decade, Chicago Studio has evolved into a popular option. The studio benefits from "wide-ranging support from Chicago's architectural community," says associate professor Kathryn Albright, AIA, who created Chicago Studio in 2002. "The students' design approach is broadened by having their projects reviewed through the eyes of practicing architects." In the beginning, students split their time between Blacksburg and Chicago. In recent years, Chicago Studio director Andrew Balster has expanded the program to be a full semester in Chicago for 16 students. The students are divided into teams of two to five, which can contain a mix of architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and urban planning majors. As will happen throughout their careers, the students must learn to develop projects in conjunction with people from other disciplines. Supporting this process is a network of practicing architects in Chicago. Students are based in host firm offices—currently Cannon Design, Skidmore Owings & Merrill, GREC Architects and Von Weise Associates— where they can receive daily support for their projects. In addition, other Chicago architects offer their individual time as project reviewers, mentors, lecturers and case study presenters. The curriculum has now expanded beyond studio design projects for students to learning the latest building/ materials technology, pro practice experience and effective time management in a professional environment. Recent projects have focused on redevelopment potential in the Uptown and Chinatown neighborhoods. Balster has actively recruited the mayor's office, local aldermen, developers and community activists to help create project design briefs, which are often based around the actual needs and current planning efforts of these communities. Those stakeholders also provide feedback during the semester, creating an interactive platform that benefits all parties involved. The students' studio projects start to address many of the developmental, financial and political issues they will encounter in their future professional lives. The aldermen and developers get a chance to see how various redevelopment options, with a strong focus on design, could be realized in their wards. And the professional architecture community participates in developing the next generation of designers, who will soon become some of their peers. For the last month of the semester, the students' professional experience shifts into a brief internship at the host firm. Sometimes this internship can be an extension of the studio project, when it ties into current office projects. Other times it can be a completely different workload, working with a project team for an upcoming deadline. While the program's schedule and workload is more intense than some students had anticipated, many have commented afterward that it was a significant benefit toward how they approached their thesis projects during the following year. "Chicago Studio introduced a critical approach toward making fast-pace design choices," says 2013 student Greg Catron. "The need to confidently progress in a project gave stamina to the process of exploration, and the rigor expected in Chicago easily reinforced the scope and drive of investigation in my thesis." In the future, Balster hopes to expand the program into other prime redevelopment neighborhoods around Chicago while maintaining the existing relationships with the Uptown and Chinatown communities. The intent is to establish continuity within the program where the work of students one semester can be used as a foundation for those who follow in subsequent semesters. He believes "the program inspires students with the confidence that they can better our world through design. We help them build the skills to do so, expose them to the tremendous opportunity in our profession and connect them to real stakeholders. The curriculum is designed to test ideas for bettering Chicago's future. With committed professional and local community support, we believe the students' growth is ultimately a service to society." Carl D'Silva, FAIA, is a vice president and principal architect at JAHN Architecture, an alumnus of Virginia Tech and an active contributor to Chicago Studio.

Just in time for Halloween – We've raided the Fairy Godmothers Potion Cabinet. Pull up your magic wand or broom and enjoy a fun How To Make Your Own Potion's Bottle Labels Post.
We even got some more sinister ingredients from our Fairy Godmother's less than trustworthy sister, the Wicked Witch, and borrowed a bit from the Hogwarts Potion Store as well.
You can spend a pretty penny buying potion bottle decorations this time of year – or for a fraction of the cost make your own.
I used leftover food and oil bottles that I've accumulated over the past couple of months with this craft in mind. Also I treated myself to a few odd shaped bottles found at the local thrift store and paid around $1 each.
Supplies needed: Bottles, Paper (from printer to decorative depending on your budget), tea bags (for antiquing the paper), Mod Podge & Paint Brush, Ultra-fine Sharpies (colored ones too). Extra's: Cheese Cloth or Burlap, Ribbons, charms, and cork tops, from the craft store, for your lidless bottles.
Potion Ingredients: Anything you want – I used everything from glitter, fireplace ash, oil, water, food coloring and candy to fun colored shampoo's and conditioner's from the local $1 store. What I liked about using the shampoo's is the fact after Halloween I can still use the hair products, wash the bottles and store them for next year and not worry about a liquid growing extra mold or fungus. However, a moldy bottle would lend itself to the whole haunted atmosphere of the decoration.
The first thing I did was antiqued the printer paper. I also had some left over Christmas paper from last year with a bluish tint that I wanted to try. First you crumple up the paper. I did this a couple of times.
Then I let the flattened the paper and let it sit in a cake pan seeping with a strong tea. I think I used 8 tea bags in 3-4 cups of water.
After around 5 minutes I removed the paper, one-by-one from the tea mixture and laid on an old towel, or paper towels to dry. Hint: Don't dump out the tea and then take the papers out because they will stick together and often tear as you try to pull them apart.
I liked designing my own labels to fit the individual bottles I had. I did this by grabbing scissors and paper and cutting away. Folding the paper in half or fourths makes the sides match.
Once I had the basic shape of the labels I played around with different hand lettering styles. I also found some wonderful fonts on my Microsoft Word Program and experimented with size and style. Some of my favorite fonts were called: Milano LET, Blackadder ITC, Blackletter686 BT, Kunstler Script, and Viner Hand ITC.
Can't come up with some potions names of your own. Borrow some from Harry Potter Here.
If once your antiqued paper is dry and you can lie it flat enough for the printer you can print the lettering on directly to your paper. If however, your printer is as temperamental as mine then you can trace the lettering onto the antique paper using a light box or window. I used Ultra-fine Sharpies because I didn't want the lettering to bleed.
Then add some fun borders to your labels. From spooky…
To simple but enchanting…
Once you add the borders – throw in a little color – once again I used Ultra-fine Sharpies.
Next you're going to want to smoother the back of the labels with Mod Podge using a paintbrush.
I say smoother because if your label is being affixed to a curved or rounded surface your going to want the paper to have a little give. Then carefully place the label on your desired bottle.
Used the edge of your sharpie pen, paint brush similar object to burnish out the creases. You'll see them but the cracks will add to the aged character of the bottle.
You'll also want to remove any and all air bubbles from under the label.
Let it dry. Once dry add one last layer of Mod Podge to the top of the label and overlap the mixture about 1/4 of an inch over the bottle. If you want you can even add a little glitter to the label at this point.
Once again let completely dry.
The kids will love this part. Then fill the bottles up with potions (see above recommendations).
One of our favorite potions was our draught of living death potion. Yes we stole many potion names from the Harry Potter Books. To this bottle we added 2/3rd mixture of vegetable oil, 1/3rd mixture of water, and food coloring (Dark Purple was sinister enough). Once this mixture has had a while to sit and separate in the bottle – throw in a couple tablets of Alka-Seltzers or the generic equivalent and watch your potion turn into a bubbly, molten lava lamp (The kids really dig this one.)
Add all these bottles to your Halloween Decor and sit back and wait for the fun comments.
So go hunt up some fun bottles and make some magic happen. Oh, I should have used these. They are perfectly eerie.
Don't have time to make your own labels. Then here are some ready-made's that you can print or buy to affix to your favorite bottles.
http://lovemanor.com/blog/ has some potion label printable's that look so real they are a bit spooky. Check them all out HERE.
Don't want too spooky then try the lighter, cartoonish free printable labels Over at Phee McFaddell''s place. Click HERE to see them.
And from one of my favorite artists… You must visit Vanessa from AFanciful Twist, for she has some darling labels vying for honored positions in your potions cabinet.
Vanessa of AFanciful Twists Esty Labels Can be Found HERE. And you can see how she put her potions together and what she used for the magic ingredients by clicking on her enchanted post HERE.
Miss Martha Stewart also has some Witchy Labels that I spied at my local Target Store.
Want more ideas on making your own labels then check out these fine sites.
You will find an excellent tutorial and extra hints on glowing Potions from the most wonderful AranaMureta's Witches Kitchen. Check out her tutorial HERE.

Many people would agree that subtlety and minimalist presentation can often be superior to a gilded extravaganza. Succeeding with such an approach, however, is very difficult to get right. The Bridge and Louis Theroux: Extreme Love are examples of beauty in sparseness, expertly done.
The Bridge (Episode 1, available on BBC iPlayer until Sat 26 May 2012)
Scandinavia is a region that polarises opinion. It seems to be viewed either with noticeable disinterest or significant fascination and curious awe. The former view is perhaps due to a subconscious preference for sunny weather, whilst the latter is inspired by an appreciation of the exact opposite. Existentialism, that harbinger of thinking man's depression, is inextricably tied to the icy winds and tempestuous skies of the region, and it is this affinity with intellectual darkness that makes Scandinavia so interesting. With sombre relish, then, did I take in the intro to The Bridge. Grey shots of imperious buildings in the snow, coupled with subtle, mysterious music set the scene perfectly. The storyline, in and of itself, is not the most original (a dead body is found straddling the Sweden-Denmark border), but the expertly toned-down style of the show makes for gripping viewing from the beginning.
The characterisation is appropriate for the setting too. There is little extravagance or bombastity, with the stark dialogue often playing second fiddle to the facial expressions of Kim Bodnia and Sofia Helin. Of course, I cannot speak too knowledgably about the dialogue, as the show is subtitled. It is de rigueur to laud subtitling for its superiority to dubbing, but this often causes one to ignore the other benefits it affords. Acting, for example, can be easier to objectively assess in an unknown language. The Bridge again scores highly in this department, as the performances are believable, but without being so real that they become dull. Every element of the first three quarters of the episode is basically a feast for the senses, at least for lovers of the mysterious and the slightly strange. It is a pity, then, that the plot (cursed destroyer of the sensory orgy) returns to the fore for the episode's conclusion. I won't reveal any details, suffice to say that the whole process is reminiscent of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. That film had a similar air of Nordic mystique and dark beauty which was ruined by a crappy plot no better than that of Saw. The Bridge may yet prove strong enough to recover from the sudden dive into silliness that you have to see to believe the disappointing effect of, but one still can't help feeling slightly betrayed after the first episode. In a sense, this is testament to how strong every other element is, but it is a strong storyline that makes a show worth returning to every week. Overall, The Bridge is definitely worth watching, but be warned that there is a risk of descent into a catch-the-killer bore fest.
Louis Theroux: Extreme Love (Episode 1, available on BBC iPlayer until Thu 3 May 2012)
Television rarely affords the opportunity to watch a master at work. Louis Theroux's return to the small screen is, for this reason alone, extremely welcome. Extreme Love is not the documentary king's most probing or fascinating work subject-wise, but this somehow heightens the appreciation of the craft itself. This episode is about autism, following several families with severely autistic kids and a school that is designed to help the kids develop social and work skills. Such a subject is ripe for both the BBC Three childish sympathy treatment and the ITV/Channel 4 freak exposée. In trademark style, however, Louis ignores the obvious and picks the most difficult path. Thus, unaided by sad music, on-demand weeping and hand-picked success stories, the real and actual lives of the kids, their families and their teachers are presented.
One of the main reasons this approach succeeds is Theroux's manner. He has perfected a tone of voice that blends earnestness, inquisitiveness, politeness and charm in such a way that it is almost impossible for him to cause offence. This allows him to ask probing questions that others wouldn't, or at least would get called aggressive for asking. "Does his condition make it harder to love him?" he asks, deadpan, of an emotionally-drained mother. "Why can't you create a safe environment at home?" he enquires of the parents who have sent their child into full-time care. Were Jeremy Paxman to ask these questions, he would be accused of bullying. Were Piers Morgan to ask them, the parents would break down in floods of tears without giving a response. When Louis Theroux asks them, he gets honest, frank answers, which reveal far more about the true emotional and mental difficulties of caring for autistic children. Not only does he know how to talk to people though, he also knows when to stay silent and observe. At several points during Extreme Love some very hard to watch, personal and sometimes dangerous scenes unfold. Rather than cut the recording or intervene, the camera team and the presenter subtly back away, so that you get the feeling that even the interviewees forget that they're in the room, so natural and real are their actions. It bears repeating as well that such scenes are never accompanied by tender piano strains or emotive voiceovers. Only the cold thuds of reality punctuate the scenes, making for ridiculously gripping and involving viewing. Most people don't need any encouragement to watch a Louis Theroux documentary, but take this as one anyway – Extreme Love is nothing short of factual TV at its finest, and it should not be missed.

Northern Ireland Hospice has announced that its recent 'Jail Break' fundraiser held at Crumlin Road Gaol raised the fantastic total of £32,621 for the Children's Hospice.
Macedon councillor Billy Webb, chairman of the NI Hospice, took part in the annual event. He has thanked all those who helped him raise £2,781 towards the overall total.
"I was overwhelmed by the number of friends and colleagues who supported me in this fundraising event," he commented.
"It costs £30 to provide one hour of specialist nursing care at the Children's Hospice, so support like this means so much to the children who need the services of Horizon House, and their families.
"I would like to thank everyone who contributed to my total and all the others who took part in this event."

A Reversible and Pieced Boro Kimono: Wonderful Lining
early to mid twentieth century
48" x 46", 122 cm x 117 cm
Featured here is the proper inside of a pieced cotton kimono--the interior is beautifully pieced and patched from a variety of recycled cottons and if you look at the ample detail photos here you will notice the lovely piecing and stitching.
Both the back and front of the inside of the kimono are interesting--as is the proper outside of the kimono which is hinted at in detail photos here.
The proper outside is very subtly pieced from old, deep colored cottons which makes this coat wearable (if chosen to be) and certainly reversible as both sides of this kimono are visually interesting.
A substantially good boro kimono with a great deal of visual interest, this is recommended for those who are looking for a boro garment to display or wear.

I am quite pleased to finally announce pre-orders are open for two incredible records.
Barghest – The Virtuous Purge LP (w/optional t-shirt package option)
Baton Rouge black metal project Barghest return in 2014 with a new full-length, The Virtuous Purge. On this follow up to 2011's Untitled LP (Gilead Media/Howling Mine), and 2012 split 12″ with False (Gilead Media/Mirror Universe), Barghest emerge from the shadows with a refined sound and an increased intensity.
Though their past recordings were deeply rooted in the realm of lo-fi black metal, with The Virtuous Purge, Barghest have shifted their focus, crafting subtle hints of death and doom throughout their new work without abandoning the harsh anti-human/anti-life aesthetic. This amalgam was brought to life under the guidance of recording engineer James Whitten, who worked with Barghest to tread this new sonic ground. Long-time fans will notice the significant change in recording fidelity as James and Barghest have taken a different approach to production, all the while remaining true to the vicious aggression and atmosphere for which Barghest are known.
The Virtuous Purge was mixed by James Whitten, mastered by Adam Tucker, and features artwork
by Hal Rotter.
1.5″ button and patch included with all pre-orders. Clear vinyl limited to 200 pieces.
Also available in a package deal alongside the new Barghest shirt featuring Hal Rotter's artwork for the album. T-shirts are printed on Next Level Apparel 100% ringspun cotton t-shirts. These are somewhat similar in fit and feel to an American Apparel shirt.
ORDER NOW: http://www.gileadmedia.net/releasedirectory/relic54-barghest-the-virtuous-purge-lp/
Thou – Heathen 2LP (US Pressing)

ATHENS – For the second straight week, Henderson County commissioners did not institute a burn ban. They are not alone, as Anderson, Cherokee, Kaufman, Smith and Van Zandt counties are also without burn bans right now.
So why is non-action news? Because Henderson County had been under a burn ban for seven consecutive months before last week's decision. Also because the Keetch-Byram Drought Index average in the county sits at 632, well above the 575 benchmark for calling a ban.
Commissioners have decided to allow time for county residents to burn trash and brush before a frost kills all vegetation, making the fire hazard even higher.
At Commissioners' Court Tuesday, Fire Marshal Darrell Furrh said, "It is still very, very dry out there so I recommend people be very, very careful."
Residents were reminded that burning at night is always illegal and subject to fines regardless of the burn ban status.
"That's part of the regular outdoor burning rules," said Furrh.

About Parameters in the eapps.cfg File
The eapps.cfg file contains parameters that control interactions between the Siebel Web Engine and the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) for all Siebel Business Applications deploying the Siebel Web Client. The eapps.cfg file is located in the
The eapps.cfg file includes sections such as [swe], [defaults], and [connmgmt] and sections for individual Siebel Business Applications, such as [/prmportal_enu] and [/callcenter_enu]. Each parameter value in the [defaults] section is used by all individual applications, unless you override the parameter's value with an entry in an application's own section.
You can edit the parameters in the eapps.cfg file manually using a text editor or you can configure and apply a SWSE logical profile using the Siebel Configuration Wizard. When you edit configuration files, do not use a text editor that adds additional, nontext characters to the file. For information on using the Siebel Configuration Wizard to configure SWSE parameters, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
In a given eapps.cfg file, some parameters might not appear by default. Changes to the eapps.cfg file are not active until you restart the Siebel Server and the Web server.
For more detailed information on the eapps.cfg file parameters, see:
Sample Eapps.cfg File
The following is a portion of a sample eapps.cfg file. This sample includes some parameters that might not coexist. They are provided so you can see a range of authentication-related parameters. In the eapps.cfg sample, the AnonUserName and AnonPassword values in the [/prmportal_enu] section are used by Siebel Partner Portal instead of the values provided in the [defaults] section.
WebPublicRootDir = D:\sba8x\SWEApp\public\enu
Typically, password encryption is in effect by default for the eapps.cfg file, as determined by the setting EncryptedPassword = TRUE. In this case, values for SiebEntSecToken, AnonPassword, and TrustToken must be encrypted. For more information, see Encrypted Passwords in the eapps.cfg File.
NOTE: It is recommended that you set the value for StatsPage to a value other than the default value (_stats.swe).

Format: CD
Label & Cat.Number: Auscultare Research aus015
Release Year: 2001
Note: great split-work and first CD release for SCOTT ARFORD, concrete machine-like drones full of tension! back in stock last copies, special priced !!
Price (incl. 19% VAT): €10.00
More InfoHochspannungscollagen! Schwelende, knirschende dronescapes, die manchmal ins Uferlose ausbrechen, Geräusche wie High Voltage-Sirren, flirrendes Rauschen wie von Grillen.... insgesamt eher ruhig aber spannend, wie die neuen MLEHST-Sachen zum Beispiel.
The dark, black and white case denies the variety of activity going on here. But 'Edit..' has this vast display of modes that affect the senses like a blindfolded ride through a blacked-out city. Delightful tension and fleeting sonic spectacle are the main experiences here. Four basic tracks encapsulate four different pieces, each with several worlds inside of itself. Yau's 'Realia' is a restless collection of nervous mechanical and organic noises, culminating in a sudden blotch of noise cut off as with a meat-cleaver. Then the 'Headworms' track by Arford meanders in and tinkles around with various objects, collaged utterances from the throat of incidental electronics, the cluttered spiritual clumsiness of messing-about with quiet sonics. But 'Drift Counter' is very nice, a twenty-three minute float through the drifting ranges of warm static and fuzzy mist, undulating and singing, a full experience that leads you into Yau's closing piece of roughly the same length. I'll leave that one for your experience. Excellent material. Try Yau's 'Hidden Tongue' disc too and witness some unique work going on over there on the left coast." [Manifold Records]

We are told by the Japanese there are only 2 "official" subway systems in Tokyo; Tokyo Metro with 9 subways and TOEI (city system) with 4 subways.
Since a subway is an underground railway with stations, there are 9 more in the city that fit that definition and 5 more in the Tokyo megalopolis area.

Re: Is she eating or pacifying herself
if you have a chance google Dr. JAck Newman and breastfeeding
his webpage is very good and has videos and everything. Nipple confusion is a popular term but somewhat silly when it comes to pacifers (not trying to be rude) the problem people face with a bottle and breast is that babies often times will prefer the bottle becuase they get more milk faster with less effort than the breast. SO they aren't confused, they are smart .... less work and more reward. However a pacifer isn't going to give her any milk so ....
If she is drinking she probably does want the milk. Alot of times babies do want to suck a lot as well. I had a sucker... at 7 months--he can put other things in his mouth at will and suck/ chew when he wants so he doesn't want to eat half as often as he did. Luckily I had a husband that was very supportive and had time to be at home. He would help by taking the baby so that we could stretch feedings into not less than an hour between them so that my nipples could rest so that I could keep feeding him. I don't think there is anything wrong with letting your baby use you as a pacifer if you don't mind nad your nipples can take it, but its more important that you can feed them than pacifing them with your body in that way. We found our baby took a finger reasonbly well and actually liked a pacifer alright but would thrust it out with his tongue if no one was holding it in for him (but then he would cry) It was his body's natural defense to foriegn objects in the mouth.
I really think that Dr. JAck is a great place to start. He is an expert in the field and works for a crediable hospital in Toronto Ca. HE also has other reasons your nipples might be sore, even with a good latch ..... which helped me a bunch

Re: Is she eating or pacifying herself
Try the Gerber Gentle Flex pacifiers. I tried every pacifier on the market before this one and he loves this one. It imitates the breast. This link can give you more info. I know it saved me! Good Luck!

Re: Is she eating or pacifying herself
Well, I went to the LC yesterday and she agreed that my boobs and nipple are just WAY TOO BIG for her mouth therefore her latch sucks! She showed me some different ways to improve it. So now I pinch, hold, and point with one hand, using one of those fingers to help open her mouth, and use the other hand to hold her head, use a boppy to support the rest of the body, clench my teeth, put her on, take a few deep breaths, and finally she goes to town with almost no pain at all! Hopefully by next week the soreness will be gone, swelling will go down, and I can nurse without being too tied down.
Now if I can just get her to stop cluster feeding to let my nipples heal. She does great during the day, she goes about 3 hours between feedings, but at 8:30pm someone opens the hole in her belly and says "FEED ME!" She will feed almost continuously for 3-4 hours. No wonder my boobs hurt like heck in the morning.

Re: Is she eating or pacifying herself
Well at least now you know! The good news is they grow so fast, hopefully it won't be a problem for long. DJ was a preemie and had a tiny mouth and I have large nipples too. I finally gave up on getting him to latch at all and just pumped exclusively for him. I was able to pump more than enough so for me it made more sense to focus on what I could do than to keep stressing out about trying to get him to nurse. I had resigned myself to pumping forever but when he was about 6 weeks old, he surprised me and latched on one night and never looked back. He nursed till he was about 19 months. Hang in there, it will get better and soon this will be a distant memory.
In the meantime, lanolin ointment is kind of gross but it really does help, as does letting your nipples air out as much as possible. DH would laugh at me because he'd come home from work during the day and I'd be sitting there topless with a towel under my boobs to catch the frequent leaks! Also, when DJ did start nursing and I was sore, my LC gave me a few packs of these: http://www.hollister.com/us/products/product_series.asp?id=6&family=72&series=755 which were great. They're these silicone gel things that you keep in the refrigerator to get them nice and cool and then put them in your bra between feedings...very soothing for sore nipples and not nearly as messy as lanolin. I've been told that you can get something similar at the store (maybe by Gerber? Soothies?) but I've never found them.
Good luck!

PIMS2 ERP implementation
Successfully implemented PIMS2 ERP solution within Al Ammari back office operations. As their operations grew throughout the years Al Ammari textiles needed a complete system to manage their accounting and warehouses.
During the first stage of implementation data was integrated from other systems. Warehouse activities then were the first to be logged on the system.
During the second stage accounting entries were to be posted. Complete training to the financial department staff was induced.
Nevertheless, this project is still to be completed in the following months with the integration of point of sales (POS) peripherals.

text: Peter, I have brought this up before, relating it to the Jerusalem Bible, which does something similar. Instead of using A, B, C, etc, they simply will number a verse as "2:7, 1:3" to reflect both popular types of versification or they will go "1:1, 1:2, 1:2a, 1:2b, 1:2c, 1:3, 1:4" to indicate additional material present in Greek Esther or Daniel. No one has given me a solid answer as to how that would be encoded. I don't even know if the engine has support for chapter "numbers" that are represented as letters. It would be easiest to use a General Book driver which allows arbitrary key values, if the GenBook-VerseKey bridge was completed. I don't know that it is, as I haven't heard anything about it for some time. --Greg On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 2:09 PM, Peter von Kaehne <refdoc at gmx.net> wrote: > How do you deal with a versification which is using two separate chapter > counters in a book which aun in an interspersed way? > > 1, 2, 3, ... > > and > > A, B, C, .. > > This is to deal with Greek and Hebrew Esther and Daniel. > > To make it more complicated, some "numbered" chapters start and finish > with a "lettered" chapter interspersed. > > 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, A:1, A:2, A:3, 1:4, 1:5...

The amount of demimonde-establishment crammed into virtually every line of dialogue in the premiere episode of Girls makes Game of Thrones's worldbuilding look dashed off and noncommittal. Perhaps it's the shock of recognition talking here, the fact that I instantly grokked nearly every deployment of descriptive specificity because these lives are, if not my own life per se, at the very least visible from the one I'm living. But holy jeez, from "He was in Prague that semester" to "Will you get me a Luna bar and a SmartWater and a Vitamin Water?" (did they steal my wife's shopping list?), I suddenly understood everyone who complained about actors being made to cough up Baratheons and Winterfells and Khal Drogos every time they spoke to one another. Writer/director/producer/star Lena Dunham could literally have animated comic-book word balloons reading "NEW YORK CITY, PRESENT DAY" emerging everyone's mouths and it wouldn't have been more utilitarian than what we actually got.
But Girls's pilot is hardly the first to creak under the weight of its own need to serve the purpose of communicating What This Show Will Be About. Mad Men's period references were never clunkier than in its first ep — I remember the very smart writer Zak Smith/Sabbath wondering aloud on twitter if every episode was going to be characters shouting "IT'S THE SIXTIES!" — while both The Sopranos and Breaking Bad played as broad black comedy the blend of irony and violence they'd later refine into something far more vicious and terrifying and unpredictable. Girls's avalanche of detail may have been suffocating, but there were flashes of Interesting twinkling throughout that vast Brooklyn-twentysomething landslide.
The casting, for one thing, in which everyone felt…achievable, if that's the right word for it. Jemima Kirke played the superhumanly worldly "British cousin" Jessa like a dressed-down version of Gossip Girl's Serena Van Der Woodsen, her bohemian-branded effortless perfection tempered/complicated/enriched/take-yer-pick by a less superhuman physique, and cast-off clothing the knowingly awkward fit of which was still, y'know, awkward. (Plus peeing, plus pregnancy, plus shitting her pants on coke.) Adam Driver, playing Hannah's crush/fuckbuddy Adam (the inevitability of Adams being another pointedly true Brooklyn touch), combined what could be charitably termed as "unconventional" looks with a gym-honed physique, an obvious overcompensation that I wish the show had left uncommented-on rather than trotting out the high-school fat-kid origin story. Meanwhile, I live on Long Island and and married to someone who studied and teaches voice, so seeing Zosia Mamet (Peggy's delightful lesbian friend on Mad Men) show up in a pink tracksuit and speak in the vocal fry register for sentence after sentence gave me the thrill of seeing two of my long-standing pet peeves embodied and ridiculed in a single scene.
These are the kinds of things I wish the show had taken more time with, rather than never letting 15 seconds pass without another LOL BROOKLYN. The nervous, cramped editing and framing didn't help — I understand it was a deliberate choice, but that doesn't make it a good one. And I could count on one hand the times I laughed out loud, (for reference: Peter Scolari's earring; "Will you get a condom?" "I'lllll consider it!"; "Let's play the quiet game"; Hannah spitting her opium tea back out a la Alvy Singer sneezing into the cocaine), so in the future it'd be nice if the ostensible purpose of a situation comedy weren't crowded out of said situation comedy. But Girls is nothing if not self-aware — "All my friends get help from their parents," Hannah says in the very first scene, telegraphing her own hugely sheltered and unrealistic experience of the world in terms so blunt I'm almost surprised that half the Internet missed it anyway — and my hope is that that self-awareness will extend, eventually, to making something less self-conscious.

By default, snapshots are no longer displayed in the zfs list output. You must use the zfs list -t snapshot command to display snapshot information. Or, enable the listsnapshots pool property. For example:
# zpool get listsnapshots tank NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE tank listsnapshots off default # zpool set listsnapshots=on tank # zpool get listsnapshots tank NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE tank listsnapshots on local
Snapshots of file systems are accessible in the .zfs/snapshot directory within the root of the containing file system. For example, if tank/home/ahrens is mounted on /home/ahrens, then the tank/home/ahrens@thursday snapshot data is accessible in the /home/ahrens/.zfs/snapshot/thursday directory.
# ls /tank/home/ahrens/.zfs/snapshot tuesday wednesday thursday
You can list snapshots as follows:
# zfs list -t snapshot NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT pool/home/anne@monday 0 - 780K - pool/home/bob@monday 0 - 1.01M - tank/home/ahrens@tuesday 8.50K - 780K - tank/home/ahrens@wednesday 8.50K - 1.01M - tank/home/ahrens@thursday 0 - 1.77M - tank/home/cindys@today 8.50K - 524K -
You can list snapshots that were created for a particular file system as follows:
# zfs list -r -t snapshot -o name,creation tank/home NAME CREATION tank/home/ahrens@tuesday Mon Aug 31 11:03 2009 tank/home/ahrens@wednesday Mon Aug 31 11:03 2009 tank/home/ahrens@thursday Mon Aug 31 11:03 2009 tank/home/cindys@now Mon Aug 31 11:04 2009
When a snapshot is created, its space is initially shared between the snapshot and the file system, and possibly with previous snapshots. As the file system changes, space that was previously shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and thus is counted in the snapshot's used property. Additionally, deleting snapshots can increase the amount of space unique to (and thus used by) other snapshots.
A snapshot's space referenced property is the same as the file system's was when the snapshot was created.
You can identify additional information about how the values of the used property are consumed. New read-only file system properties describe space usage for clones, file systems, and volumes. For example:
$ zfs list -o space NAME AVAIL USED USEDSNAP USEDDS USEDREFRESERV USEDCHILD rpool 25.4G 7.79G 0 64K 0 7.79G rpool/ROOT 25.4G 6.29G 0 18K 0 6.29G rpool/ROOT/snv_98 25.4G 6.29G 0 6.29G 0 0 rpool/dump 25.4G 1.00G 0 1.00G 0 0 rpool/export 25.4G 38K 0 20K 0 18K rpool/export/home 25.4G 18K 0 18K 0 0 rpool/swap 25.8G 512M 0 111M 401M 0

FOOTBALL grounds in England fell silent at 3.06pm on Saturday afternoon to mark the approaching 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
The tragedy on April 15, 1989 saw 96 Liverpool fans die as a result of a crush at the Leppings Lane end of Sheffield Wednesday's stadium. The FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was halted in the sixth minute as fans climbed over barriers from the terrace to reach safety on the pitch.
For their Championship match against Blackburn, Wednesday replaced 96 blue seats with white seats bearing red roses at the end of the stadium where the Liverpool fans died.
Liverpool will face Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, when another silence will be held. All matches in the Premier League, Football League, Football Conference and FA Cup began seven minutes later than originally scheduled this weekend to allow for the silence.
The new Hillsborough inquests began on April 1 in Warrington, Cheshire.
At half-time in Liverpool's match with Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell will also lay a wreath on the pitch in tribute to the 96 victims.
"On behalf of Celtic Football Club and our supporters we are humbled to be involved in this 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster," said Lawwell.
"We have a close bond with Liverpool Football Club and feel it is important to remember the 96 people who lost their lives in this terrible tragedy. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and everyone at Liverpool Football Club at this time of remembrance."
This year's annual memorial service will take place at Anfield on Tuesday, April 15.

Quiz: Do You Have a Wabi-Sabi Home?
Wabi-sabi is the traditional Japanese aesthetic that teaches the beauty of the imperfect, the earthy, the natural. More than just an approach to decorating, wabi-sabi is a philosophy, a way of viewing life that values the fragile beauty and impermanence of nature.
According to wabi-sabi, it's okay that my kitchen table has rings on it from family art-session watercolor-pots, or that you can still see the words "Reid and Iguana" carved on it by my six-year-old when he was longing for a pet iguana of his very own, or that there's a darkened circle in the center of it from the heat of beeswax votives lit at dusk. These things are part of our family history, and its very imperfections are what makes our table special to us. Wabi-sabi would agree. This is one way of thinking about home-decoration-with-spirit that we can really get behind!
Do you have a wabi-sabi home? Find out here:
Do these adjectives apply to your home?
Understated, humble, unpretentious, earthy, natural, imperfect.
Does your home contain objects that are well-worn, finishes that are "distressed" or that have the patina of age?
Do you value antiques or objects that have a history?
Do you use recycled materials? Do you find that pieces that have been well-loved and reused have intrinsic value?
Are most of the materials in your home natural (like wood, sisal, and stone) rather than manmade like plastic or chrome?
Are the colors in your home muted? Is the palette taken mostly from nature? Do you favor earth-tones, muted greens, and grayed or neutral shades rather than shiny metallics or stark white?
If you answered "yes" to the above, you may have a wabi-sabi home.
If your home is cluttered and filled with "stuff," though, your home may be "wabi-slobby!" The key is to simplify.

Acme Juicer 6001 Review
The Acme Juicer 6001 Juicerator is indestructible. This baby will keep you juicing till your hair goes grey. Along with its superb durability, this it produces fantastic juice and can power through pretty much anything you try to throw at it. However, it's a bit of a pain to clean, so steer clear if cleaning isn't your thing.
(This Article contains affiliate links. They help us keep the page up and running. If you like a product and use our link we get a little extra money that helps us pay our expenses)
Good: Easy to use | High juice yield | Built like a tank
Bad: Big and bulky | Quite noisy | Hassle to clean
Specifications: 550-watt vibration-free induction motor | Dishwasher-safe parts | Polycarbonate Casing
The Acme Juicer 6001 will go to the end of the earth.
The first thing worth mentioning here is the simple fact that the Acme Juicer 6001 is built like an absolute tank. You could run this thing over with a truck and it would still be spitting out juice for you to drink.
The internal machinery is built from sturdy commercial-quality stainless steel so durability certainly won't be an issue here.
The warranty it comes with will cover it for 5 years, though some people claim theirs is still spinning after 30 years!
What's the juice like?
This centrifugal juicer has got a great reputation, both when it comes to juice yield and juice quality. For those unaware, "juice yield" is the amount of juice you get from a specific amount of produce. The better the yield, the more juice you'll get in your glass.
Juice yield is an important thing to be aware of, as it can mean the difference between a glass of juice costing $1 and $5-$10 (as much as store-bought stuff. The Acme Juicer 6001 has a fantastic juice yield, with some independent reviews claiming it produces 20% more juice than its rivals.
And with a powerful 500-watt vibration-free induction motor, it'll power through anything and everything when it comes to fruits and vegetables, spinning out some absolutely beautiful juice that has the benefits of juicing.
How does the Acme Juicer work?
Unfortunately, this juicer does not automatically get the pulp out. You have to use filter sheets when you juice. Though this isn't generally a problem, if you want to juice a lot in one go, you're going to be changing filters regularly. If you don't, it's just going to get clogged and you'll lose the quality of the juice.
Are there any downsides?
No, not for the most part.
However, the Acme 6001 is somewhat noisy (though not as much as the Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer) and a hassle to clean.
So why should I buy it?
If you're looking for a juicer that will be with you till the end, then the Acme Juicer 6001 is an excellent choice. Many people have spoken about how they bought their machine 15, 20 and even 30 years ago, and it's still going strong.
One lady mentions a time when she packed it away without cleaning it (by accident of course!). The juicer spent a lot of time in the dark and inevitably grew moldy and disgusting. However this lady was pleased to say that she cleaned it in 30 minutes with water and bleach and the tough little thing looked like new!

FontFont Newsletter #01
|Our founder Erik Spiekermann is often the subject of interviews, yet the tables were turned when he recently met up with Paul McNeil and Hamish Muir to interview them about their newest typeface FF ThreeSix. In our inaugural Talking Types podcast, they discuss bending the rules, geometric typefaces and the relationship between visual and transmitted language.
|We are delighted to send 50 readers a special edition FF ThreeSix poster (A1 and unfolded), free of charge. Just send an email to [email protected] with your name and mailing address. (The first 50 people to respond will receive a poster.)
|Nearly two decades after its first release, Erik Spiekermann's FF Meta family has grown to become one of our largest and most popular super families. Never the sort to rest on his laurels, Erik Spiekermann decided it was time to breathe new life into FF Meta Correspondence, the younger sister to FF Meta. We are delighted to bring you a new and improved FF Meta Correspondence. Simplified and robust forms aplenty, a whole host of arrows, icons and office dingbats and less contrast, the new FF Meta Correspondence is ideal for use as webfont or within the mobile environment.
Read about the changes in full.
|The Hofstede design studio in Australia, run by Dominic Hofstede, is renowned for its methodical, rational and intelligent approach to design. Placing typography at the heart of what they do, we caught up with them recently to hear about their choice of FF Kievit and FF Info Pict for their Endeavor Hills Shopping Centre project.
Read all about the project.
Did you know that numbers come in two different formats?
Most FontFonts are optimized for use in body text and contain OSF as the default. So, how can you access LF? If you have text set in all caps, all you need to do is use an Open-Type enabled programme (e.g. InDesign or Illustrator), click on the All-Caps button and hey presto, your numbers are transformed into LF. Not only that, but in OpenType and Pro FontFonts, thanks to the nifty 'Case-sensitive forms' OpenType Feature the correct figure set is chosen and the punctuation is also automatically better aligned.

When asked to name a song that gets him going on gameday, ninth-year defensive tackle Tony McDaniel couldn't quite name this specific song's title or artist, but he was sure about the lyrics.
"You know that one song, it goes, 'I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord," the 6-foot-7, 305-pound McDaniel hummed from his locker at Seahawks headquarters this week.
My mind immediately went to a certain scene from The Hangover, when the film's trio of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis return to their Vegas hotel room to find former professional boxer Mike Tyson reciting that same chorus McDaniel did before promptly knocking Galifianakis' character - Alan - square in the face.
If you haven't already guessed it (or scrolled a bit further down the page) the song in question was Phil Collins' instant hit In The Air Tonight.
That track made up one of nine pregame song selections from your Seahawks this week, as the team readies for their regular-season opener against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night at CenturyLink Field.
Below, check out what the team is listening to as they prepare to kick off the 2014 season:
(Warning: Tracks May Contain Explicit Lyrics) Read
Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers: Pregame Playlist
1. Tony McDaniel: In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins Read
2. Max Unger: Automatic - Iration
3. J.R. Sweezy: Walk – Pantera ("It'll getcha' goin'," Sweezy added)
4. Justin Britt: Hail to the King - Avenged Sevenfold (I helped out Britt with the song choice, but the rookie right tackle admitted he's been on an Avenged Sevenfold kick of late)
5. DeShawn Shead: The Language - Drake
6. Byron Maxwell: Money Trees - Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock
7. Jermaine Kearse: m.A.A.d city - Kendrick Lamar (Kearse said he gets going with anything by Kendrick Lamar, so I gave an assist on the song choice here as well)
8. Mike Morgan: Who Gon Stop Me - Jay-Z, Kanye West
9. Michael Bennett: I Hate U - Z-Ro
Note: I couldn't find a quality version of Bennett's request on Spotify, so I've embedded the YouTube video of his pregame choice for you below. Read
And as promised each week, we'll also feature a "Bonus Track" from a member of the Seahawks Digital Media team. This week's extra comes from Digital Media Video Manager Brian Pan, the man behind the camera of the majority of those videos you consume here at Seahawks.com, who went with Jorge Quintero's 300 Violin Orchestra.
If his selection sounds familiar that's because it probably is. I couldn't quite put my ear to it at first, but Pan notes it's often heard at Seattle Sounders FC matches and throughout the NBA Finals. Yep, that's the one.

This is one of my new favorites... it's the perfect mix of rustic and modern design. The metal clip board includes a "weathered" clip to hold notes or photos. The frame around the clip board is made from recycled magazines. The metal clipboard is a rusty-red with a mustard-yellow border.
You could use this in your kitchen for grocery lists, office for to-do lists, living room for an adorable photo, etc. The possibilities are really endless!
The recycled magazines create an incredible texture- everyone will want to know what it is and where you got it! The sophisticated colors of this piece are "red-neutrals" ... red,brown, tan,yellow, etc... Because the colors come from recycled magazines- there is a wide variety of colors and ranges.
This overall board measures 8" x 10" and is 1/2" deep. A hook is included for hanging.
Our products by their very nature insist that each piece be one of a kind. General color schemes are all similar with a slight variation, due to the character of recycled magazines. This ensures that each product has a unique quality.
Made with love...

Memphis May Fire: Christmas SweaTour Celebrates 'Bad Colors, Terrible Fit'
There are few things uglier than the ubiquitous Christmas sweaters that show up on the torsos of spirited shoppers during the holiday season. While uncles and moms usually don these fashion atrocities, Memphis May Fire are having fun braving the cold chill of December with hilarious holiday attire on their current Christmas SweaTour.
"We figured if you're going wear some sweaters this winter, might as well make 'em ugly," singer Matty Mullins told Noisecreep. "If you come out to a show on this tour, you might catch us wearing some fine examples of ugly sweaters on stage!"
The ugliest sweater the band has seen during this nascent tour was of the lime green variety. "That pretty much took the cake already," Mullins said. The singer also said that the "perfect recipe for a truly ugly sweater" is a "combination of the Winter/Christmas theme, bad colors and terrible fit."
Destruction of a Rose, Amarna Reign and Affiance rounding out the bill on the Memphis May Fire tour dates. They've also invited fans to come to the show sporting their ugliest Christmas sweater. If the sweater is hideous enough, you may very well be rewarded for your fashion faux pas with a free CD or T-shirt from the band.

Hi All, Having just run the 2005 DPL IRC debate (and a stressful experience it was too), Martin Krafft and I would like to get feedback on what people thought of the debate and how it was run. Suggestions for future debates will be very welcome, not that I am planning to volunteer to do that again ;) I am sure that whoever does it in the future can learn from our successes and mistakes. Logs of the debate channels have already been posted by some people (thanks). The logs of all four channels will also be posted to the debian-vote pages [1] soon. An edited log of the #debian-dpl-debate channel will also be posted (this will preserve all questions and answers but will omit some of the disorganisation, to make it easier to read). Thanks again to everyone who helped make the debate work :) Helen (Posted to debian-vote to hopefully reach the IRC debate audience, but please follow up with feedback on the running of the debate to debian-project, because I think this is off-topic for the actual 2005 vote.) 1. http://www.debian.org/vote/

"Mining Will Offend Our Ancestors"
The days when environmental concerns were confined to preserving the natural habitat of plants and wild animals in a handful of nature reserves and national parks are over.
We can no longer ignore the fact that our continued existence as a species depends on multi-pronged efforts to protect our planet and its biosphere from being destroyed at our own hands. This defense of the global environment takes place on a terrain which is contested by a wide range of interests, including those concerned about the survival of plant and animal species and those intent on preserving human cultural identities and securing environmental justice, as well as those hell-bent on industrial expansion and the exploitation of natural resources wherever profitable.
Nowhere else is the battle between these overlapping interests more apparent than in South Africa's Mapungubwe region.
Not only is the greater Mapungubwe area the location of a National Park of great importance for the conservation of local wildlife and flora, as well as part of an intended future transfrontier park of international significance, but it is also a World Heritage Site that carries evidence for tens of thousands of years of human settlement. Unfortunately, this area also happens to contain major coal deposits and the South African government has recently granted permission for mining to go ahead right next to the Mapungubwe National Park.
In looking at environmental issues like those around Mapungubwe, we can sometimes forget about the cultural implications. We look at a landscape and its plant and animal inhabitants with little regard for the humans who co-inhabit that landscape with them. We tend to overlook the fact that people may have lived in the area for generations and the fact that their cultural identity and their social history is intricately entwined with the very spaces we're hoping to preserve from destruction and so-called development.
The story of Vele Neluvhalani, whose ancestors lived and are buried at Mapungubwe, is a very powerful example of the way the fight for the protection of the natural environment is intricately linked to our own human history and heritage.
Vele's story is beautifully told in this short video clip:
As environmental activists, we simply can't ignore environmental justice issues such as those addressed by Vele. People like him, who share stories of intimate interconnectedness with the endangered ecosystems they live in, should be our most valued allies in the battle to save these very ecosystems.

If you want to help stop the coal mine and power station, please sign the Care2 petition against coal mining at Mapungubwe.

Thanks @jovizi for the heads up.
What we know at this point: Prince will be launching a tour or as he calls them "a series of events" on "a purple day in December" 2010. Vague, right?
What we also know at this point: He'll act as master of ceremonies for each event, which will feature a great lineup of artists, showcasing what he calls "the best America has to offer". Well, damn near. The artists he names in the clip below:
- Maceo Parker
- Janelle Monae
- Mint Condition
- Esperanza Spaulding
- Cassandra Wilson
- Sinbad
- Lalah Hathaway
- Sheila E.
- Graham Central Station
- . . .and, of course, the New Power Generation
He finishes by saying "Bring foot spray, because it's gonna be funky."
No specific dates or venues have been announced yet. Wonder if one of them will be at the Apollo? More coverage via Billboard.

NetMotion Diagnostics Delivers Network Assessment Tools for FirstNet Preparation
Date: 2015-11-23
NetMotion Wireless, a leading provider of mobility management solutions for first responders, has announced that public safety organizations are using NetMotion Diagnostics to survey and diagnose the coverage and signal quality of their network fabric, consisting of both public safety data and FirstNet networks. Understanding current coverage usage and needs is a critical first step for states and municipalities in order to guide and plan for future FirstNet deployments.
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) was empowered by Congress to build, operate and maintain the first nationwide wireless broadband network dedicated to public safety. Using both reserved spectrum and existing telecommunications infrastructure, FirstNet will provide 21st century tools to first responders across the country.
"FirstNet promises to improve communications for the thousands of organizations and millions of individuals that respond to emergencies at the local, state, tribal and federal levels," said John Knopf, VP of Product Management at NetMotion Wireless. "NetMotion Diagnostics helps organizations prepare in advance by understanding their current coverage, determining their future needs, and working with FirstNet to ensure its infrastructure is deployed in the right way to augment communications during incident response."
A number of states and municipalities are beginning to map out their coverage to understand current needs and identify what needs to be supplemented or overlapped by FirstNet. Because tower infrastructure is expensive to deploy, states and agencies that know what and where their needs are will help ensure everyone gets the most utility out of their joint investment.
NetMotion Diagnostics is the first choice for first responders wanting to plan for and manage the transition to FirstNet. It delivers the ability to proactively manage, troubleshoot and optimize mobile user experiences by mapping coverage across multiple networks, diagnosing problems when they occur, and identifying root causes of problems on devices and networks users may not own, control or manage. NetMotion Diagnostics recognizes and identifies common problems such as latency, poor signal quality, unresponsive application servers, VPN connections, GPS and dropped connections so they can be resolved quickly. In addition, it captures, tracks, and provides comprehensive, actionable reports on devices, network performance, and usage.
NetMotion Diagnostics version 3.2 supports all North American carriers including FirstNet; numerous mobile devices including built-in wireless, USB modems, mobile hotspots, and trunk-mount modems; and mobile computing devices running Apple iOS, Google Android, and Microsoft Windows.
NetMotion Diagnostics version 3.2 is available today as a cloud SaaS service or as an on-premises application. For more information, please visit www.netmotionwireless.com/mobile-vpn-service#fndtn-Diagnostics.
