Henkel at the trade fair ALUMINIUM 2010

Corrosion protection in harmony with the environment
When ALUMINIUM 2010 opens its doors again in September, Henkel – as a technology leader in surface treatments – will be there, too, exhibiting at its own booth. Under the slogan "One source for all needs" the company will be presenting itself as an expert partner offering innovative Alodine brand technologies for pretreatment of aluminum prior to painting. These technologies meet the constantly changing needs of the aluminum industry, assuring maximal corrosion protection with minimal environmental impact.
Alodine 400 – chrome-free coating without compromising on quality
With its chrome-free Alodine 400 process, for example, Henkel presents a method for pretreating aluminum surfaces that not only enhances environmental performance and occupational health and safety, but also meets high quality standards in terms of paint adhesion and corrosion resistance of powder-coated materials. By using this technology, which is exempt from hazard labeling, companies gain the advantage of being able to dispense entirely with classic wastewater treatment, as the process is totally free of heavy metals. At the same time, line operators benefit from enhanced occupational health and safety.
Experience from the field confirms the high quality of the chrome-free process. On the metal surface it generates a transparent, titanium-based conversion coating that provides long-term corrosion protection for powder-coated parts and, acting as an adhesion promoter, also improves subsequent paint application. The advanced Alodine 400 conversion process is GSB and Qualicoat approved, thus offering the best preconditions for a long-term weather-resistant powder coating.
Alodine 5992 – corrosion protection for non-painted surfaces
Another new development in metal pretreatment is Alodine 5992. Unlike passivation techniques containing toxic chromium(VI), the conversion coating generated with this process is based on non-toxic chromium(III) compounds. In view of the many regulatory requirements – such as compliance with the RoHS, WEE and ELV directives – Alodine 5992 thus constitutes a genuine alternative to traditional conversion treatments. The trivalent coating offers the same high quality of bare-metal corrosion protection for unpainted aluminum surfaces, as well as providing an optimal substrate for painting; powder-coated aluminum parts have the same level of corrosion protection as yellow-chromated sheets and profiles. Alodine 5992 is Qualicoat certified and also satisfies MIL requirements for use in the aircraft industry. Moreover, the use of this process simplifies wastewater treatment and disposal, as there is no need for hexavalent to trivalent chromium reduction.
Alodine EC2 – a multifunctional coating with exceptional robustness
The chrome-free Alodine EC² technology from Henkel is revolutionizing today's coating technology. Providing protection against heavy stressing in extreme climate zones or in harsh industrial environments, Alodine EC² coatings withstand the most severe loading. They are impervious to heat, cold, salt, gas, oil and water. Combining resistance to chemicals with high temperature resistance, hardness and abrasion resistance, Alodine EC² is suitable for many demanding industrial applications under extreme conditions – from the intense heat and high pressures in automobile engines through to the galvanic corrosion of ships' components by seawater.
The electro-ceramic coating is also so flexible that the treated components can be subsequently shaped without any damage to the Alodine EC² layer. Furthermore, the coating can be painted, enameled, bonded or covered with any other kind of coating. Unlike conventional processes, a decorative paint finish can be applied without the need for a primer. And, not least, since no additional process steps are required, this technology makes the entire manufacturing process shorter and more resource-efficient.
Henkel at ALUMINIUM
Visitors can obtain detailed information on Henkel's complete product portfolio from September 14-16 at ALUMINIUM 2010, the world's biggest trade show for the aluminum industry in Essen, Germany. As a technology leader in the development of specialized products for surface treatment, the company is presenting a broad range of solutions for the treatment of aluminum surfaces at its own booth (2D42) in Hall 2.

I wish they'd make the title of Twilight Vanquisher unnattainable in 3.1
It would be really sad to see a bunch of nobodies who pugged Ulduar25 walking around with the title.
It's as if they gave out Hand of A'dal for killing Loken.
Candina@WH said...
While I agree with you on the 1 out of 100 will fail...
Do you have a better idea to rapidly test the content?
What, keep the PTR up for long enough for some progression guild to form, farm all of the Uluar 10 man content, then the Ulduar 25 man content SO THEY CAN THEN ATTEMPT THE HARD MODE ULDUAR 25 man content?
Me, I would like to see the content before I die of old age ;-)
I think you are somewhat missing the point.
Firstly, Sarth3D was completed long before raid resets would have allowed for anywhere near that quality gear. As a fight, it revolves around good cooldown use, fair dps and good positioning. It's not nearly as difficult as you claim.
Secondly, this means that Blizzard can simulate raid resets and gearing up much faster than usual. This means that good groups ie. the guilds that will get world firsts, can test content very specifically to Blizz deadlines.
Also, what harm does it do to give people who have spent a lot of time and effort to get on the PTR some good gear? Even if a pug fails, they can have a good time and probably be just as valuable bug testers as elite guilds; it doesn't hurt anybody.
It is a TEST REALM for chrissakes. It's purpose is to test stuff, so we get the best possible release on the live servers.
So who freaking cares if random nubs get fancy epics or not as "The Skeptical Guy" above seems so worried about.
If Blizzard thinks it helps them test stuff, then it does.
If it helps the testing, yes it is a brilliant idea.
Waaaaay too many people think the PTRs are some kind of toy to lol around on with no intention to actually help test stuff.

Indianapolis — Ole Miss hybrid Dexter McCluster, who plans to take part in all of the drills at the NFL scouting combine, believes he can play wide reciever and running back in the National Football League.
He rushed for 304 times for 1,955 yards for the Rebels and caught 130 passes for 1,703 yards.
"I'm both," McCluster said on Saturday. "I've done both of them. I feel comfortable at both of them. At running back I get the ball early and make decisions a little quicker. At receiver, I've got good hands and great stop and speed. The ability to (create) mismatches and create separation."
He measured a little over 5-foot-6 and weighed 172 pounds.
"I just got my wingspan measured," said McCluster, a broadcast journalism major. "It was 70 inches."
McCluster believes that the NFL play of Minnesota's Percy Harvey and New Orleans' Reggie Bush had helped smallish running back/receivers.
"It's good to have some people like that in the league," McCluster said. "They are having great success and contributing to a team. It shows that I can make that same impact that they are."

He will be gone early in the second round. The Patriots have four picks to play with early in this draft. Expect him to be one of them.

It was very refreshing to be able to watch the NFL combine this morning on NFL network and see Mike Smith up in the stands asleep with the camera on him. Offesive lineman and TE's are working out on the field, coaches from every team are in the stands trying to evaluate prospects and Mike Smith is asleep.

DM is one of the guys I'd really like to see in red&black this season but he is projected by most mocks and draft evaluators to go late2nd/early 3rd. We would have to trade to get him. I suggested it on Bradley's blog already, but I think we should hope and pray that CJ Spiller falls past SEA and SF. Those are really the only tems ahead of us with a need a RB so powerful that they'd risk such an early pick on him. Since we won the cointoss with HOU we have a real possibility of Spiller being there (HOU is in love with CJ bigtime and he fills a big need) at #19,
There is another team that wants a RB enough to put a !st rd pick toward one though, and they are the ones we should target for the Late2nd/early round picks we need– SD Chargers. If they judge Spiller superior to the RB from GaTech, then they may be willing to deal.
I propose we trade our #19 for SD's #60, #91 and a 2nd next year. We miss guys like Graham, Wilson and ' Spoon, but we get into a part of the draft where their approximate equivalents can be found (at awesome values!). So the 2010 draft could be in this range:
#60 McCluster RB/WR/FR or N Bowman 4-3 OLB or AJ Edds 4-3OLB
#81 D Watson OLB or J Murphy CB
#91 Saffold OG or Alualu DT or Lane DE or Jerry G
#114 Decker WR or Arenas CB or Ansah CB
#145 Z Beadles OT R Jackson 4-3 DE G Atkins 4-3DE D Pitta TE M RolleSS CJ Wilson DE
# 179 R Cooper WR J Wall CB R Johnson FS Leigh Kiffin PK Z Robinson QB J Crompton QB
Due to the vagaries of the draft some of these players will go outside these broad areas and others will be available later than expected. I'm using Walter's and Draftek to get a range of opinions and player evaluations and I only included players with consensus draft grades.
No Marquee names to speak of but plenty of talent at positions of need/depth.
Praying for Spiller to fall!

i would love to see Spiller fall to us. In his first year if ONLY returns kicks and punts, think how dangerous he will be. Maybe even a swing route to him out of the backfield…the kid can absolutely FLY. But if we get McCluster, it's not that huge of a dropoff, if any at all. Where do we pick in the second??? Anybody know???
February 28th, 2010
3:12 pm
We don't currently have a 2nd rounder (traded for Tony Gonzo). That's why I'm thinking of trading down and targeting the Chargers due to their need at RB.
March 1st, 2010
3:05 pm
Dexter will be great anywhere he goes but I sure do want him to go to a team that has a chance. Atlanta would be great, colts maybe , giants need another fast back. I don't want him to end up with Philip Rivers in San Diego. UGH!!! please no Oakland or redskins. Dallas has enough of everything, but Philly really needs a running back. Maybe that would be a good fit. I wish him all the luck, he deserves it….

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I received these as a gift probably three or four years ago and they performed well: very comfortable, easy to slip on and off, and fairly good cushioning in the sole. I wear a size 12-13 shoe and the XL was a tad big for me, but this made it easier for slipping on/off as I said.
Why I will not buy them again: I want something a bit tougher for the outdoors as I like to tramp outside at night to grab a few more logs of firewood and prefer to do so with slippers. Also, I'd like something a bit sturdier in the body with a stiffer shell and preferably not black as it tends to show dust and lint really well.
If you want something comfy and cozy for in-house use, these are a great value, but for something more tough and rugged, you might try something else.

I bought these for my boyfriend, he wears them all the time. I try to steal them but not happening. They are extremely comfortable, keep your feet warm and have a sole which helps give you some traction. I have always loved Acorn product. Good quality and long lasting!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'll admit it, I love wearing slippers inside. I don't want shoes, I don't like just wearing sock - I want slippers. And I don't want a dual purpose slipper with a beefy rubber sole you'd want to wear out to the store. These are super comfy. They feel kind of "springy" like walking on a cloud - and a nice sure fit. But they do have a light rubber sole good enough to go out and grab the paper on a cold morning. But that doesn't distract from the indoor comfort. Really great and a good price too!

Eco-Brolly Temporary Umbrella
The Eco-Brolly frame instantly converts a discarded newspaper, plastic bag, magazine, etc., into a stop-gap umbrella.
It's a highly portable solution for those of us who are often only running building to transport - or just need to make it to the nearest shelter/coffee shop/happy hour with appearance intact.
Designed by Shiu Yuk Yuen, the pictorial tutorial (would that be a pictutorial?) appears below. The basic frame is purse-, tote- and nearly pocket-friendly.

It's a fun idea, but how is this green? Can wet paper be recycled? My regular purse-size umbrella serves me just fine.
Well if the newspaper is soaked to the point of disintegrating, it's probably not recyclable, but damp newsprint can be dried easily. I've spilled coffee and juice on large sections of newspaper before and simply draped it over the kitchen sink to dry out before putting it in a recycling bin.
but will these thin arms break with chicago's wind?
nah...i'll just wear a plastic bag like a hat
... also known as, just holding a newspaper above your head.
for reals eebnyc! lol.
Why would wet paper be non-recyclable?
Surely the first stage of recycling paper is to pulp it by *adding* water, so if it was wet already it wouldn't matter. Or am I missing something / has the recycling method changed?
Lukens: all I know is that here in Montreal, everything we put in the recycling bin has to be clean and dry.
This is a clever idea at first glance but then any reasonably intelligent person has to agree with eebnyc - totally useless.
Gotta agree. Cute but pretty impractical...
That's a waste of money and how is this eco friendly? The umbrella that I purchased 7 years ago I still have till this day. That looks like it wouldn't last one.
The Metro (in the pic) is a free London newspaper - and so readily available (thrust into your hand every few paces) that you don't need an extra device to use these as an umbrella when "running building to transport". They serve perfectly well as is - as eebncy has said before me.

Not bad...I had a very ripe tomato to use and some old bread slices in the freezer, so this made a good side to a CL Lentil Burger, sans the bun. I made just a single serving with approximate proportions, threw in some roasted red pepper, and just a trace amount of dressing was needed. I didn't bother with the basil or olives and it was still good. I think having good heirloom tomatoes on-hand is key. This would pair well with Italian, Greek, or even Middle Eastern dishes so I will keep this recipe in mind.
Whole Wheat Mediterranean Panzanella
Oxmoor House
Like many Italian dishes, panzanella (pahn-zah-NEHL-lah) was probably first made out of necessity—combining stale bread with readily available fresh garden vegetables. This classic bread salad, full of juicy tomatoes, is like summer on a plate. For added color, we chose to use a combination of yellow and red heirloom tomatoes. If you prefer a drier panzanella, toast the bread before tossing it with the tomato mixture.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 2 2/3 cups)

Senator Jon Tester this week sat down with Caitlin Creighton of Missoula and Gwynn Simeniuk of Opheim, president and vice president of Montana's chapter of the Future Farmers of America (FFA).
"I always look forward to talking with FFA kids," said Tester, the Senate's only working farmer. "Agriculture is Montana's number one industry, making it important to hear from folks who support one of our greatest traditions."
In Tester's Washington, D.C. office, Creighton and Simeniuk told the senator about their future plans and roles as leaders in the organization. They also emphasized the need for more high school agriculture teachers and asked him to continue supporting funding for farming education.
Creighton and Simeniuk are visiting the nation's capital as part of the FFA State President's Conference, an annual leadership program that brings together FFA leaders from all 50 states.
Tester often meets with members of FFA, which is the largest career and technical student organization in the United States.

The two juniors most likely to make an impact this season are Jon Bain '06 and Jon Butala '06. Butala was an All-MIAC Honorable Mention selection a year ago. Over the course of his Ole career, he has averaged 10.9 points per game and beyond the arc, has averaged a noteworthy 38.9 percent.
Bain had a breakout sophomore season. The 6-5 forward averaged 11.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. Bain also specialized in taking the ball strong to the basket and in turn getting to the free throw line. He shot 127 free throws, 77 more than any of his teammates.
Despite their success last season, both Bain and Butala spent time on the bench due to illness and injury. The Oles look to have both players healthy for the entire 2005-2006 campaign.
The third Ole to round out the trio is Mark Bergstrom '07, who will likely be a crucial factor if the Oles are to make a run this season. Bergstrom proved himself as a scoring threat last season, averaging 6.2 points per game despite playing just 15.1 minutes per contest.
Head coach Dan Kosmoski returns for his 12th season at the helm for the Oles, and he knows the importance of having experienced players who are able to bring leadership to the floor day in and day out.
"There is an expectation for the veterans to continue to improve," Kosmoski said. "They are going to have to provide leadership in scoring and in all aspects of the game."
The Ole men open their season on Nov. 21 at Luther. Their MIAC opener is Nov. 30 at Augsburg.

The Married Crush
I didn't see it coming. At all.
Perhaps it's because I'd known George for a couple years before I started to notice a certain flutter when we talked, a desire to dress cuter when I knew I'd see him, a slight blush when he asked me to meet for coffee to discuss a project we were both working on. It was several years ago, so I don't quite remember the exact moment when I realized I was crushing on George. But I remember the resulting feeling of dread quite clearly.
Sure, George was a great man who shared my faith and my passion for cross–cultural ministry, a man whose intellect, integrity, and humility I really respected. But he was also very married.
I was surprised by my feelings for George … and appalled. As a Christian, I know married men are so not an option. One of the first things I usually try to notice when I first meet a guy is whether or not he's wearing a ring. It just helps me put our interactions in context. When there's a ring present, so are a certain set of boundaries. Because that's just been truth for me for as long as I can remember, my romantic feelings for George hit me out of the blue.
A flood of emotions accompanied this realization. Embarrassment. Guilt. Perplexity. And, I hate to admit, a bit of that delicious excitement when there's a new love interest. After having no one trip my trigger for so long, it was kind of fun finally to have someone to think about whenever I heard love songs or whenever I'd lie in bed at night and daydream about some possible future before drifting off to sleep. These thoughts came unbidden, but I didn't always chase them away as fast as I should have. The guilt they'd cause was always close–by. Into the darkness of my bedroom I'd confess my emotions aloud to God, and (sometimes reluctantly) ask him to steal them away.
Questions swirled in my head in those moments alone with my conflicting emotions. Was this just a harmless crush? Or was this the slow–burn beginning of an emotional (or even physical) affair—as those things always start with secret emotions in someone's mind? Should I run away from our common circles? Or would that draw too much attention to something that could ultimately be harmless—and that would leave me with less community? Was George sensing my feelings? Did he share any of them—and what was the better of the two possible answers to that question? Of all the guys in my life, why was this one attracting me? And why wasn't God answering my prayers and melting these ragingly inappropriate feelings?

I realize that this article and the comments are a few years old, but this is so relevant. I recently met one of those "oh, if he wasn't married..." guys. I didn't struggle with it. I guess I put it out of my mind immediately. I also thought, 'Yeah. If he wasn't married, he wouldn't be interested in me anyway.' Camerin: I love your point that maybe the woman he married is part of the reason he is the man he is today. Maybe I'm just getting cantankerous (did I spell that correctly?) in my late 40s, but I have to choose the best places to spend my energy. So, I can divert it from the unproductive (although bound to happen) directions into better ones. It still takes a while quite often to discern this, then it takes energy to override my emotions. I find what helps me can be: putting my mind into what I have (my job, my hobbies, the knowledge that God is leading me in a specific direction and I need to trust that, the belief that I do not want someone's else spouse.) I guess I know from experience that these attractions will happen, not to freak out, and to go on with my life. Nubian: I suggest that you get away from him as much as you can. You don't have to be rude about it. Just try to come up with alternatives when you know you will encounter him. He's not yours and you are not his. And maybe there's a friend you trust, like Camerin mentioned above, to share this with. Even if he's "just flirting", he's overstepping boundries. It's one thing for someone to notice and flirt once or twice naturally; it's entirely different to consciously flirt repeatedly. He may just be trying to massage his ego. Or he may see it as just being friendly. You are responsible for taking care of you, and he doesn't need you. God does.
Thank you. It is good to know that i'm not alone. I am in a similar situation right now, we attend the same church-i am the married one and he is single. You cannot imagine all the guilt and the shame i'm feeling right now because i know and i'm sure he knows too that that this is all wrong.Like Nubian, there hasn't been any serious interactions but there's a lot of eye contact and I can sense his effort of trying to be near me. I've spent so many nights crying and praying to God that He will give me the stregnth i need not to fall into temptation.I do love my husband and my family and i dont want to break this marriage but i find myself being happy everytime i see him.Pls pray for me as i have no one else to talk to about this except in my prayers.
thank you for this is it is a great weight lifted when talking about it to someone who does understand and god and for me it kind of helped to get a feel for the other persons feeling and now i know that there is not a mutual feeling that helps to im taking it day by day its hard to avoid the person they are my partner at work im glad im not the only one experiencing this and overwelmed by guilt

Irrigation and Society in Medieval Valencia
Thomas F. Glick
Irrigation Administration in Al-Andalus: The Sâhib al Sâqiya
[198] Of the officials who presided over the distribution of water in Al-Andalus, and of the administrative apparatus, procedure, and regulations that guided them in their duties, next to nothing is known.
Ibn Haiyân recounted the story of the eleventh-century freedmen Mubârak and Muzaffar, who were "in charge of the administration of irrigation [or of the canal, that is, wakâlat alsâqiya] in Valencia" and who then rose to the dignity of emir, in Valencia and Játiva, respectively. (1) We know also, from a sixteenth-century translation of an Arabic document, that waters of the Genil in Granada were apportioned in 1219 (616 of the Hejira), during the Almohade period, by a certain Ahmad b. 'Abd Allah, "the well-known apportioner of said river." (2)
Records of two water disputes between Andalusí towns fail to shed light on administrative processes, although they provide some detail regarding settlement of regional water conflict. Litigation in 1187 (583 H.) between two Andalusian towns, Bartillana and Lubros, was resolved by agreement between their sheiks and other irrigators upon the advice of experts and men who knew the local custom (a pattern ordinarily followed in Christian Spain except that the sheik's role would be taken by a lawyer or syndic representing the town and the cequier or other administrative officials would usually figure among the experts). Only after the disputants reached agreement was the document taken before the qadi of Guadix for official ratification. (3) A similar settlement was achieved in 1223 (619 H.) between the towns [199] of Torres Torres and Carcer, in the Valencian region. After it had dragged on for twenty years, this dispute was finally argued before the chief qadi of Morvedre, Abû al-Hasan b. Fath, and the faqih, Mubammad b. Hazben. (4) Again no administrators are mentioned in this document. Here the qadi represents a level of authority higher than the local level, to which irrigators had recourse when local means failed. In the same way, cases in Christian Spain which could not be solved by the cequier and the local administrative apparatus reached the court of the governor of the kingdom.
Even though a picture of everyday administration of irrigation in Al-Andalus
cannot be outlined on the basis of these meager references, still a reconstruction
of Islamic practice can be attempted on the basis of terminology applied
by the Christians to their irrigation officials (çabacequies,
and alcalde de las aguas, for example).
There are no actual references in extant Hispano-Arabic sources to an official called sâhijb al-sâqiya. (5) A derived arabism (çabacequia) first appeared in thirteenth-century Aragon, (6) and related forms were current in Valencia (çabacequies, çabacequier) and Murcia (sobrecequiero, juez sobrecequiero) soon after the two towns were captured from the Muslims.
As was true of other irrigation terms as well, the functions of these Christian officials and the semantic fluidity of their titles varied considerably from region to region. The çabacequies-sobrecequiero was the chief irrigation official in some locales (Burriana, Orihuela), whereas in others, such as in the Valencian huerta, the çabacequzes was subordinate to the cequier. In some places, moreover, the irrigation officer served the autonomous community of irrigators (huerta of Valencia), while in others (Castellón, Orihuela) he was a municipal functionary. There seem to have been, thus, two models for the medieval Christian organization of irrigation administration: a cellular one, based on irrigation communities with their own elected officials, and [200] a centralized one, in which irrigation administration was a branch of a higher jurisdiction, typically that of the town.
The municipal model is the one which more closely corresponds to my conception of the Andalusí sâhib al-sâqiya. In the Islamic judicial system the representative of ordinary justice was the qadi, but specialized areas of law were entrusted to special magistrates, subordinate to the qadâ'. Under the Umayyads in particular the administrative justice of the qadâ' was broken down and specialized jurisdictions were created. These officials were favored in western Islam more so than in the East; particularly in Al-Andalus special organs of justice flourished. Al-Harashî, a jurisprudent of the Malikite rite (that prevailing in Al-Andalus) stated that the prince was empowered to institute special jurisdictions in determined categories of judicial process: he cites, for example, a qadi for matrimonial affairs, a qadi of the police, and, significantly, a "qadi of water." (7) This qâdi al-miyah of Al-Andalus survived into the post-Islamic epoch as the alcalde de las aguas of Lorca, a municipal official whose duties and jurisdiction were similar to those of the sobrecequiero of Orihuela. (8)
In the caliphate of the Andalusí Umayyads, various of these magistracies subordinate to the qadâ', all with the title of sâhib, came to play an important role in municipal life. Indeed, their function was to fill an administrative void in Islamic law, which lacked a specific body of municipal law and did not provide for any distinct municipal jurisdiction. The marketplace became the province of the sâhib al-sûq (master of the market), whose surveillance also included guilds and matters of public health and morality. Criminal procedure and the town police were the charge of the sâhib al-shurta (master of the police), also known in some cities of western Islam as sâhib al-madîna or master of the city. The essential characteristic of these magistrates was that -- unlike the qadi -- they could initiate action. Characteristically they were out on the beat, in the marketplace and on the streets of the city, seeking out misdemeanors and exacting punishment. The qadi was not competent in criminal matters, and therefore [201] these autonomous magistracies rounded out the qadâ' jurisdiction and responded to the practical necessities of urban life.(9)
These three sâhib offices were adopted, at one time or another, by Christian towns neighboring Al-Andalus. The sâhib al-shurta first appeared in Christian Spain in the late tenth century (zahbascorta, in a document of 998), the sâhib al-sûq in 1020 (zavazouke), and the sâhib al-madîna in the twelfth century (çalmedina, çavalmedina). (10) The çavacequia first appeared a century later but survived considerably longer than the others. The tradition of the zavazouke, however, was carried on by another Islamic transplant, the mustasaf (in Valencian and Catalan usage; almotacen in Castilian (11)), paralleling the supplantation of the Umayyad sâhib al-sûq by the Abbasid muhtasib. The muhtasib's functions were identical to those of his predecessor but were executed under the guise of specific religious precepts.
Because the modus operandi of the Christian cequier was similar to that of the mustasaf, and because the mustasaf inherited the administrative procedure of the muhtasib with only slight modification, (12) there are grounds for assuming that the Andalusí sâhib al-sâqiya acted in ways similar to those of the muhtasib. The cequier, the mustasaf, and the muhtasib all initiated actions; they all heard small disputes (small, that is, in terms of the fine required by the misdemeanor involved) based upon customary law as embodied in municipal, communal, or guild regulations or custom. They could both sentence and fine summarily, and their legal business was conducted by oral process (perforce: in Islamic Law only the qadi has jurisdiction in cases where any evidence in writing is admitted). (13)
The affinities between the two Christian officials in jurisdiction as well as in procedure points to their common background as municipal magistracies in Al-Andalus. In medieval Valencia the mustasaf of the city and the cequiers of the canals which passed through it (Rovella and Favara) came into frequent jurisdictional conflict. The mustasaf was inspector of the mills, as of all economic activity, but mills were users of canal water and therefore also under the surveillance of the cequiers. Both [202] cequier and mustasaf had competence over the condition of the roads, the mustasaf being interested in their state generally with an eye toward the comfort of pedestrians and travelers, the cequier in seeing that canal water did not flood them. Both officials were interested in matters of public health, such as might arise from stagnant water, sewers, and industrial waste produced by tanners, dyers, and other urban craftsmen who used canal water. Both were regularly on patrol, searching out misdemeanors, the mustasaf on behalf of the town weal, the cequier carrying out his charge from the community of irrigators.
Even though no direct evidence can be brought to bear upon the Andalusí sâhib al-sâqiya, therefore, comparison with other officials of similar name, procedure, and jurisdiction makes possible an educated guess concerning the nature of the office. Like the other sâbib magistracies which passed into Spanish usage, the sâhib al-sâqiya of Al-Andalus must have been an urban officer with limited police powers and the ability to judge summarily everyday infractions of water law or other regulations contingent upon water use. He would have been charged with ensuring equity in the distribution of water, just as the muhtasib was the guarantor of the equity of the marketplace. He would not have been elected by a community of irrigators but would have been the appointee of the governor or prince. In addition, he would have been charged with carrying out basic Koranic precepts concerning the public nature of water and the duty to share it equally and keep it clean and pure. His charge to do so would have been in general terms--just as the muhtasib was enjoined "to encourage what is good and to discourage what is evil"-- which were not necessarily embodied in written regulations. On the other hand, and beyond his discretionary powers, he would have had to enforce specific customs, arrangements, and legal precedents regarding turns, the repair and cleaning of canals and diversion dams, and the stealing of water and other common irrigation infractions.
Like the muhtasib, the sâhib al-sâqiya would have
come into frequent jurisdictional conflict with officials representing
other [203] levels of administration or social groups, especially
tribal authorities. His authority therefore would have diminished (or have
been increasingly disputed) as he moved farther from the main urban canal
or canals. His primary responsibilities would have been care of the diversion
dam, cleaning and policing the main canal, and establishing the turns on
the main canal. The secondary canals, such as the "Beni" canals of Murcia,
would have been more the responsibility of tribal leaders (this would not
preclude the sâhib's role as coordinator).
The sâhib al-sâqiya was not the only irrigation official known to Al-Andalus. A lesser functionary, the amîn al-mâ', was characteristic of the smaller irrigation systems and was usually subordinate to a more powerful official with wider jurisdiction. The amîn al-mâ' is considerably less of a puzzle than the sâhib alsâqiya. The office persists in modern Islamic systems which have been studied; the derived Christian institution is well documented; and medieval sources are extant showing the office in transition.
Amin means "reliable, trustworthy," and, as a noun, "guardian, keeper, superintendent," and was applied to a wide variety of officials to whom were entrusted functions of economic or administrative responsibility. (14) The derived Christian officer was known in Romance by the Valencian arabism alamí (alamín in Castilian) (15) or by the literal translation, fiel (as in the fiel de pesos y medidas or the fiel de aguas of Elche). The amîn differed from the cequier in that he was solely an administrative official with no criminal competence. He never initiated action against malefactors or exercised powers of summary justice.
The amîn al-mâ' is the typical water officer of the Saharan oases and the Iberian alamí appears in places whose institutions strongly resemble them (notably Elche and Novelda). The amîn is concerned largely with the distribution of water and direction of turns and has often been associated with systems in which the [204] sale of water has made the distribution so complicated that a special official is needed simply to keep track of all the transactions and ensure order in the turns.
Sir Clements Markham's description of the alamí of Novelda at mid-nineteenth century is one which accords completely with descriptions of Saharan amîns:
The official, to whom is entrusted the difficult and confidential duties of managing the distribution and sale of the water, is nominated by the Municipality. He is called the Alami, a word of Arabic origin; and the post is one requiring so much special knowledge, that it is always given to the members of certain families, who have held it from time immemorial. . . . After the sale of the next night's hilos, those of the next day are sold, and the Alami then arranges the distribution of the water according to the number of hours it is to flow in this or that channel. . .
It will at once be seen that the duties of the Alami require constant attention, much care, and an intimate knowledge of the localities, for their satisfactory performance. He has to remember where the hilos of day and night irrigation have been delivered during the previous twenty-four hours, and which is the nearest among those sold on the current day, to combine the directions in which the water should flow with requisite volume, so that there may be sufficient in the places where each azumbre is to be delivered, adding to, or diverting from, the various channels, so as to secure these ends. (16) These complicated operations can only be satisfactorily performed by persons who have had long experience, and are withal quick-witted and intelligent. (17)
The similarity of Markham's alamí to Saharan amîns is striking. In Ghadames and Touat, where water is sold, the amîn sets and measures the hours of distribution of water. In Touzer, the intricacies of distribution at the beginning of the present century were known by one man only, the amîn al-mâ', who had learned them from his father, who in turn had received the information from his ancestors. (18)
A medieval Romance document attests the existence of this [205] officer in Islamic Spain. The Moorish quarter of Elche, located in the Arrabal de San Juan, was irrigated from the Marchena Canal, a channel constructed in Christian times especially for the use of the moreria. Nevertheless, it was administered autonomously by the Muslims themselves and the pertinent administrative officer was the alamí. In a document of 1435, Obaquer (Abû Bakr) Ismael, "alamí, or divider of the water, of the huerta of the Moors of the town of Elche during the past year," rendered an accounting of all the units of water "which were sold by me, the said alamí." (19) Similarly, in an account of the dues paid by the Moorish quarter in 1461, it was noted that "the queen possessed 43 units {of Marchena Canal water] which were sold each Friday by the alamí or fiel of the Moorish quarter (moreria)." (20)
Proof of continuity in two administrative traditions would not authorize an assertion that irrigation administration was homogeneous throughout Al-Andalus. On the contrary, significant regional variations existed. The acequiero of sixteenthcentury Granada, whose procedure was known at the time to be an Islamic inheritance, was quite distinct from his Valencian counterparts. In Granada the acequiero had jurisdiction over the mills and the tanning shed, as distinguished from Valencian regulations attributing these jurisdictions to the bailiff and the mustasaf. Moreover, the acequiero, though a municipal appointee, was paid by a weekly assessment of three maravedis per mill and received no other salary. The city was obliged to supplement this income with an annual stipend, since no one could be found to take office on the old terms. (21) The Valencian officials, on the other hand, either were paid annual salaries or received part of the fines they collected or both.
Furthermore, while both traditions studied here are characterized by
appointment to an urban jurisdiction, there was also in Islamic law --
especially Malikite law -- a strong tradition of communal irrigation, characterized
by autonomous [206]administration. In Islamic law irrigation canals
are the communal property of the individuals who contributed to their establishment.
The commons alone have the right to use the water of their canal for irrigation
and they rule the affairs of the canal. The co-irrigators set the turns,
and no one of them may erect a mill or even build a bridge over the canal
without the agreement of all. (22) Just
as in Christian Spain, then, it is probable that in Al-Andalus centralization
of irrigation administration was an independent variable. In some localities
original communal or tribal autonomy may have been ceded to a higher authority;
in others it may have persisted until the end of Islamic rule.
1. The story is told in the Dhahîra of ibn Haiyân and is quoted by ibn 'Idhâri, Al-Bayân al-Mughrib, ed. E. Lévi-Provençal, vol. III (Paris, 1930), p. 158: "kânâ waliyâ . . wakâlat al-sâqiya bi-balansiya." Sâqiya in this context may indeed mean "irrigation," by extension; but the sense might better be that of one canal, i.e, a municipal one. See Ambrosio Huici Miranda, "Dos acequieros musulmanes, reyes de Valencia," Las Provincias (Valencia), May 21, 1961.

The partition was certified by the chief qadi of Granada (p. 42) who naturally did not participate in any of the technical details of irrigation. This document, entitled Repartimiento de las aguas del Río Genil, was translated from the original Arabic by the royal scribe Ambrosio Xarafy on Feb. 12, 1502.

Didn't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen the video, hence posted a bit later. These are actually much clearer… The whole encoding process kinda screwed the video quality up.
Miss #kayaoceshi the gifs, as requested :)
As for those who can't view it from youtube, sorry for the trouble, youtube has some copyright rules that I don't think I comprehend…
but here's a link: https://vimeo.com/43310758 CLICKY CLICK CLICK
Thank you for the tons and tons of reblogs and likes and follows guys, I never knew a gif I did for fun could have this huge response from you guys. (It's actually one of my brainless art endevours) Bear in mind that I won't make a video again anytime soon… I can't survive on only 4 hours of sleep for so long.
After this I'll go back into the shadows quietly developing my art again…
But for now enjoy the gifs. If you want to use them, just credit :)
Bonus shawarma scene:
While I'm animating the last few sequences, can you guys lend me a hand on the title of the final video? I'll admit I'm no wordsmith, I didn't want to screw up the title like I did on the gif.
Like Avengers X Bad Romance or something.
Hit me with your suggestions, now!
psst, inbox me too

As the economy slowly becomes more stable, you might be thinking more about the possibility of taking a family vacation or personal getaway. Without question one of the more beautiful destinations in Europe, Ireland should be one of those places that is at the top of your list. Though it might be a somewhat small island, there are tons of things to see and do whenever spending time in Ireland. In fact, you will probably not have enough time to take in and enjoy everything that you might really want to.
As you get the plans for your Ireland trip underway, you should consider taking on of the many day tours that can be found throughout the country. No matter how long you will be there or what your itinerary will be, an Ireland day tour is an excellent way to see many of the sights and sites you otherwise might not have time for. Though could certainly make a schedule to try to get all of the sites and events you want to see in, these tours will have all of the times and routes efficiently planned so that you will have greater assurance to see them all. Furthermore, you could even take in more of what Ireland has to offer by taking different tours on different days, since each one might go to a totally different region.
Even if they are there for business or to visit family, most people that visit Ireland quickly fall in love with the incredible beauty of its natural landscapes.

Links with Parish, Diocese and Wider School Community
The Patrician High school is a Catholic Voluntary School under the trusteeship of the Bishop of Clogher and is managed by a Board Of Management that is made up of representatives of the trustees, the parents and the teaching staff. The Patrician High School has over one hundreds years experience of education in Carrickmacross. Since it opened its doors in August 1902 it has promoted the Personal, Spiritual, Physical, Creative and academic development of its students.
The fundamental purpose of the school is to produce well educated, mature citizens by engaging students in activities which are designed to help them to come to a Christian maturity which leads them to base their lives on Christian principles.
Mission Statement
Our school mission is the promotion of the educational development and fulfilment of the educational needs of all our pupils in a secure environment.
The pursuit of excellence in individual achievement while nurturing a growth in responsibility that will prepare pupils for their role in family and society.
The maintenance of an educational philosophy, based on our Christian principles, which will guide, and support our students through further education and field of work.
The creation of an atmosphere within the school in which
" Authority is respected
" Study and achievement are promoted
" Spirituality is encouraged
" Environment is preserved
" A supportive partnership is maintained with parents, employers, and the wider community.
The development of a school spirit, in accordance with our Christian ethos, in which there is mutual support and respect between all groups involved in the school.
The development of an understanding of different cultures and minorities and a respect for all people irrespective of their gender, colour, creed, or nationality.
The promotion of the highest standards of teaching and learning through professional development of staff, and the development of all facilities necessary to deliver an up to date and comprehensive education to our pupils.
The maintenance of our independence to pursue our aims while developing links with other educational institutions in a spirit of co-operation.
We as a school strive to foster a spirit of co-operation between all the partners of the school community. It seeks to live by the Gospel values, recognise the dignity of each individual and promote peace and justice in the school and the wider community.
Board of Management
The Board wishes to emphasise that ours is a Catholic school with its own tradition and ethos built up over more than a century. The Board is committed to an educational programme which is Christian in outlook and actively seeks to promote the religious, moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and social and spiritual development of the students.
The Board of Management ensures its practical commitment to this ethos by, among other things, employing a full complement of qualified teachers for the teaching of Religious Education.
Religious Ethos
The Religious Ethos of our School Community is the distinctive spirit and attitudes of the community of faith as reflected by our school tradition. The Religious Ethos of our school should be fostered by the whole school community.
School leadership and management
The Trustees delegate the management of the school to the Board of Management. In accepting the role of management, the Board of Management acknowledges the apostolic purpose of our school. Day to day management is delegated to the principal.
In the exercise of this authority the Board Of Management and the Principal will endeavour to ensure that:
" The Philosophy of the Patrician High School is adhered to
" Professional Standards of Education and management obtain in the school.
" Appointments and promotion of staff are all made impartially and in the best interests of the school.
" Suitable cooperation in educational matters in maintained and developed with all relevant agencies.
" The focus on the importance of value based Christian Education in the Catholic tradition is maintained and supported.
Religious Educators
The Religious Education Department involves people who are consistently and actively involved in religious education. All members of the Religious Education Department provide a structured curriculum in Religious Education. The Religious Education Department includes 1 full time qualified RE teacher, 2 part time qualified RE teachers and 2 other teaching members of staff.
Spiritual Needs of the Students
Within our tradition, Religious Education is a core subject. The school has the services of a chaplain and offers extra curricular activities, on a voluntary base, which aim to promote the spiritual development of its students.
The aims of Religious Education are:
1 To explore how the human search for meaning has found and continues to find expression in religion.
2 To identify how understanding of God, Religious Traditions, and particular the Christian tradition, have impact on personal lifestyles, interpersonal relationships, and relationships between individuals and their communities and contexts.
3 To contribute to the spiritual and moral development of the student.
(Religious Education Syllabus, 2003, pg. 5.)
The general aim of Religious Education is to awaken people to faith and to help them throughout their lives to deepen and strengthen their faith. (Religious Education Syllabus, 1982, pg. 4)
The Religious Education Department took a decision to follow the prescribed Junior Cert syllabus in order to facilitate an informed decision on the potential of the exam course in terms of education; catechesis and holistic development.
At Senior cycle students follow a structured non exam Religious Education Programme incorporating Justice and Moral Education, Spiritual Development, Relationships Education, Contemporary issues which explore the life and experiences of young Christians in today's world are also approached
To allow us to broaden and enhance the progress of our Religious Education programme in the future, we would hope for the timetable to facilitate team teaching in senior classes.
Role of Staff
The whole school staff has a role in supporting the Religious Development activities that occur within the school context.
Parents in completing their son's application to the school duly recognise and commit themselves accordingly on their own part (and on behalf of their son) to the school ethos and mission. They also seek to submit their son to a Roman Catholic Education in accordance with the admission policy and Christian ethos of the school.
Our primary aim is to fulfil the mission statement of our school in accordance with the law and the limited resources available to it. The Board of Management makes reasonable provision and accommodation for all students. Equality of access and participation in the school will be in accordance with relevant legislation and with due regard to the efficient use of resources provided by the D.E.S.
Diversity of tradition, values, beliefs, languages, and ways of life are all respected within this school and the community that it serves. The Religious Education Policy of the Patrician High School does not aim to erase differences between individuals. The goal is to enable all students to belong to the school community without prejudice and within which individual difference is celebrated. Inclusiveness minimises the barriers to learning and participation. Practice within the classroom and the school should reflect this inclusive culture.
The chaplaincy services currently available in the High School consist of one of the local priests (currently Fr Michael Jordan) visiting the school regularly. The chaplain also endeavours to be present for school liturgies, subject to his schedule.
The role of the Priest Chaplain is to be available for various liturgical celebrations during the school year, and to be a sign of God's presence in the school.
The Chaplain and members of the Religious Education team meet a number of times each year.
Awareness of the liturgical year is promoted in the Religious Education programme. Christian symbols have a place in our school building. We aspire to celebrate key events during the school year in the context of our faith. These may include events such as induction of first year students, graduation ceremony for Leaving Certificate students, etc. The entire school community is encouraged to actively participate in the organisation and celebration of these events.
It has been our tradition as a Christian school to provide opportunities to concretise, affirm, and celebrate our faith through liturgy and Para-liturgy.
The use of the local Church St Josephs and the Holy Family Hall and Catholic rooms have been of valuable use to our school community.
There are religious symbols and pictures on display through out the school. Liturgical seasons are highlighted in class and with some displays through the school. We hope to extend and develop this in line with our new school-building project.
Extra Curricular Activities
Extra curricular activities, which promote the personal and spiritual development of the students, are offered in the school.
Junior and Senior cycle students are encouraged to participate fully in events organised for them. They are also encouraged to, where suitable, help organise these activities. Transition year students are involved in a rich program of charity activities.
The following are examples of the extra curricular activities that have taken place in the school:
S.V.P collections
Carrickmacross Cancer society fundraising
Young Pioneers association
Carol singing
Fundraising for the developing world
Christmas concerts
Peer ministry
Jump for joy
Christmas day swim
Graduation Ceremony
In line with agreed school policies, parents are requested to support their son's participation in the events.
We use the whole school community and have the pastoral care office to facilitate out of class situations. We use the notice boards to remind staff and students of Christian related activities.
The RE teachers use a number of texts and publications in their teaching that is enhanced by the use of audiovisual equipment. They also review and evaluate new texts, as they become available for their value in the RE department.
We would hope that a prayer room would become available to students in the future to help broaden and enhance the student's spiritual experience. To facilitate and deepen the spiritual experience of Para liturgies and self-thought.
A budget is allocated to Religious Education in the school, following analysis and review of needs by the RE department on an annual basis. Funding is allocated on the identification and goals in line with the mission and vision of the school.
At the beginning of each year, students are asked to pay a subscription that contributes to:
Access to texts and resources
Supplies and materials
A waver exists for families experiencing financial difficulties.
Links with Parish and Diocese
The school community should experience a visible link with the parish, be that through the work of a clerical/religious Chaplain, or a Parish based Catchiest or in the manner in which the parish or Diocese link with the role of as lay Chaplain/RE teachers within the school.
Religious Education comes alive when the students are encouraged to become actively involved in the spiritual development through extra curricular activities.
The support of the Diocesan Advisor for those teaching RE is greatly appreciated. It is a means of sourcing information, providing resources and linking teachers across the Diocese.
Parents have provided their support by assisting and participating in school liturgies.

Pre-Christian Background
(Dates on this page are B.C.)
5509 This year was the starting point for the apo ktiseos kosmou (AKK) or anno mundi (AM) chronological system commonly employed by East Roman (Byzantine) scholars from about the fifth century. In this system, then, 1 A.D. corresponds to the year of the world 5509/5510. 2001 A.D. is thus 7509/7510, 7509 through 31 August and 7510 thereafter, since the East Roman year began with 1 September. (A variant system, known as the Alexandrian era and attributed to the fifth century monk Panodorus, began on August 29, 5493 B.C.)
5199 In the Anno Mundi chronological system attributed to Eusebius and common in the West before the adoption of the Anno Domini system, this year was the starting point.
4004 The year of the creation according to Bishop Ussher (1581-1656), an Anglo-Irish (Protestant) priest.
776 First Olympic games held. (Important for dating purposes only.)
753 The year of
the founding of Rome. Used in the
A.U.C. (Anno Urbis Conditae) system. 754 A.U.C. = 1 A.D.
Roman year began with the Kalends of March (1 March).
44 Caesar assassinated, 15 March.
43 Octavian (Caesar's nephew, later known as Augustus), Mark Antony, and Leupidus rule Rome as a triumvirate.
42 The Senate recognized Julius Caesar as a god.
37 Herod the Great (ruled 37-4? BC) became king of Judea, appointed by the senate of Rome.
30 In August, Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide in Alexandria after their defeat by Octavian's forces. In spite of the fact that Herod had backed Antony, Octavian confirmed him as king of Judea.
20 Construction began on the Herod's temple in Jerusalem.

I haven't had a Cracked article since last year, but it's not for lack of trying - I've had dozens shot down as just not being "quite there" or just too redundant with articles they've already done. Oftentimes it comes down to just the personal taste of a single staff member who has the power to approve something.
Case in point, I'm currently working on a pitch about surprisingly disturbing children's characters, which I thought would have been a pretty easy one, but I still need two more examples for the list - they want a minimum of six - and the last dozen things I've proposed have been deemed "not creepy enough."
Anything you can send me that seems a little too grotesque for a little kid's show may help, but please click "read more" to see what's already been pitched first.
Here's an actual screenshot from an actual Noggin show called OOBI. This is one of only four examples they liked and approved of so far.
-Boneaparte (from a short-lived ABC show)
-Tricky Dicky
-The Walrus from Pingu
-Pompel og Pilt, the very show that inspired me to pitch the concept
-The Greedy from the Raggedy Anne movie
-The original Snuffleupagus (who was changed for frightening too many children)
-Rap Rat
-Torchy the Battery Boy
-Mr. Glitch
-The Groke from the Moomins was also already featured in a Cracked article.
-The "You're Not Perfect" guy from Courage
-Oobi (as mentioned)
If it seems like the difference between article-worthy and article-unworthy is somewhat arbitrary, even the opposite of what you would expect in some areas, yeah, you and me both. Most of what they rejected is notoriously unsettling. They rejected a dead human skeleton that hangs out with a little boy. They rejected noseybonk. Unfortunately, there's no room for debate with the Cracked staff. If they tell you to find something else, you just have to find something else.

This was my favorite scene. I love Rapunzel's whole STORYTIME! stance, not to mention Flynn being the best Disney prince in the history of Disney so. Storytime with Flynn very yes.

Quote: just upgrade to FF4.0 ...everything is far faster
Same here.
You obviously have not tried IE9 with all the updates & add ons......
For those who like playing with different web browsers and have yet to try IE9, Here is a tip.....
Don't assume that all the bits & bobs like " Flash Player " & " Java " will come neatly packed in with the main IE9 update or download.....!
Once you have downloaded and installed IE9, You should then make sure to update Flash & Java......!!
AND don't forget to do the Java thing in both 32bit & 64bit browsers, For those with 64bit systems.....!!!
As yet Adobe don't seem to have been able to cobble together a release version of " Flash Player " for the 64bit IE9 browser.....!!!!
They keep threatening to.......But don't hold your breath......
Just ran FF4 and its no faster than my IE9 32bit browser, In fact FF4 is a tad slower on some sites.
Could just be that the damp string between my gaff and the exchange, Is a little damper than usual....
Or maybe there is no real magic in the FF4 mix......!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant use Firefox, everytime I've tried I just get Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a a file.. blah blah. But it is there, it installs
Quote: You obviously have not tried IE9 with all the updates & add ons
I wouldn't consider loading IE with the slow speed/site connect issues Ive had in the past.
If I'm happy with something i generally stick with it. A millisecond here or there isn't that important
Quote: Yep...just installed FF4 and epz is faster...BUT...yahoo mail no longer works...erse
I had that...had to reset my password for it to work
It seems ok now. Seems to have been a coincidental issue at the server side as it wouldn't work with Chrome either but is OK this morning.
FF4 does seem very fast.
Quote: Since installing FF4, I seem to have lost the Progress Bar at the bottom right of the screen. Anybody else?
I lost my Alexa tool and various other stuff I had on the bottom . I found it under View menu and added it back. View > Toolbars Add on Bar (not sure if it's connected with the speed, but worth a try)
That one threw me too for a few minutes. They have renamed the progress bar to the 'addon bar'. I have been running it with some addons and site is still quite fast.
Regardless of browser choice, the more add-ons/toolbars/plugins/extensions you have the more likely your browser will get slower because of them so it's important to only ever run what you need. Firefox has the ability to install addons but disable them. So when you come to a point that you need it, just re-enable.

Maple, White 7/8" x 50' Edge Banding
I've been woodworking for a long time but this was my first venture into edge banding. Faced the edges of some maple plywood shelving with it. Easy to apply (I used a cheap iron), easy to trim (I used a razor knife), and the end result is flawless. Looks like a solid board. I think I'm going to be using this alot more in the future. I can't speak to the durability of it, yet.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Better than expected!
About Me
Used these to install on my entertainment center made out of Maple ply and the color was a perfect match to it, so I can't complain! The glue is also very strong. Thank goodness for Woodcraft as well, because I couldn't find these anywhere until I ran into this site.
Works Great!
I'm building my own entertainment center and have been looking for a good Maple veneer edging since I have maple ply to make it with and this did the job perfectly. The grain and color matches the maple ply perfectly and has stained/dyed very well with the rest of the unit. Couldn't be happier.

As soon as there is a roadside test for MJ, it can be legalized and the draconian laws will survive.

This article is an update to the REEFER MADNESS of years gone by and just as realistic and factual. NOT. Some VALID research and facts would be welcomed.

A moment of sappiness.
My first-ever costumes were a set of five magical girls –– the main characters of Tokyo Mew Mew. I had sewn a few costume pieces before that, but never a full costume… and in a matter of months, despite having little experience with costuming, I managed to dress myself and four other girls up as magical girls. In 2004, we took them to a convention.
From left to right, that's Rebecca, Lily, Diane, Kate and myself. We were all 13-14 years old. With a help from the four of them and my mom, I made five costumes.
They weren't perfect, and for years I've been embarrassed by them. We couldn't figure out accurate shoes for three out of five of them. Three of us were in Halloween wigs. In 2004, a decent quality wig cost $60+ including shipping, and you could only get them from Amphigory… but you had to use Katie Bair as a pushing service, because Amphigory didn't ship to Canada! I had to make shorts instead of bikini bottoms because my mom didn't want her fourteen year old going out in skimpy bottoms. None of us really had a hand on make-up or wig styling. Rebecca wore her coat the entire time at the convention, which was a hole-in-the-wall first-year convention of 250 people. All we were running on was spirit and enthusiasm.
But these days, I'm not so embarrassed. I love looking at this picture and seeing how far I've come. I started my costuming "career" on magical girls. Almost my entire roster of costumes has centered on young women with incredible power, with very few instances of deviation.
As a result, my heart swells just thinking about our upcoming Madoka cosplay group.
I'm so excited: we've basically managed to put together the best group we've ever yet done. Everyone in the group is cosplaying their favourite design of the series, and nobody is stuck taking whoever is left over. We all suit our characters and are excited to do the group. It's coming together nicely and all of my worries thus far have been settled as we finish costume pieces. I'm delighted.
So many costume groups are plagued by indecision and stress. Someone inevitably ends up taking a costume they're not excited for but are at least agreeable to, for the sake of completing a group. We usually don't even think much about prop weapons, let alone for a whole group. Someone usually fizzles out. Normally, I'd be terrified to make this post, in case someone really did fizzle out on us.
But this time we're doing it. We're going to finish this group and it's going to happen. We're pulling together as a group to do it, too: everyone's doing what they can, everyone's done research and thought about how to do it. Emmy was figuring out schoolgirl bags the other day, Blackpooled and Christine are hashing out how to do Madoka's petticoat, and Blackpooled and I have plans to get all of Madoka's accessories done in a day to lighten Christine's load. Maya and I are working on Kyoko every Wednesday and should be able to finish it in the coming weeks. Mami should be finished by next weekend!
I'm so thrilled by our progress thus far and I can't wait to see this group come together even more!
