Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (Die bitteren Tranen der Petra von Kant)
This tale of intermingled love and hate is directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and is the 13th of the 33 films he made in his short life. It explores the universal dynamics present in close human relationships, even lesbian ones. Petra Von Kant (Margit Carstensen) is a fashion designer. Some time ago, she divorced the husband she no longer loved. Until recently, she has been in a fairly satisfactory S & M relationship with her assistant. When she develops an obsession with her fashion model, however, things become far more complicated.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!

Sebastian Vettel has been quick to deny that Mercedes' controversial Pirelli test was the reason Nico Rosberg won the Monaco GP...
Sebastian Vettel has been quick to deny that Mercedes' controversial Pirelli test was the reason Nico Rosberg won the Monaco GP.
Mercedes spent three days testing the Pirelli tyres in the wake of the Spanish Grand Prix even though pre-season testing is banned.
And although rivals Red Bull and Ferrari have lodged protests against Mercedes, Vettel, who finished second to Rosberg, reckons it didn't play that much of a role in the German's win.
"I found out [about the test] yesterday actually," said the World Champ. "I was surprised, surely, but I don't know much more.
"It's a bit weird if the regulations obviously don't allow you to test and one team goes testing and then there's talk of a certain agreement, blah, blah, blah.
"It's not good at the end of the day, what's the solution now? Does everybody have a go for the three days? Or are they the only ones? It's just silly now to come up with all these discussions for nothing.
"I don't think they won today because of last week - I want to get that straight - but surely it helps if you get extra experience, time to test.
"We know that testing at the race is very limited - not for one particular race but for the remainder of the season."

Nothing says "I've got my act together" better than a well-executed side bang. When it's done right, it's really right: Your face is framed to perfection and you've got that instantly pulled-together look without endless blowdrying, styling, and product futzing. Best of all? A side bang can work on a wide variety of hair types and textures.
But, despite the wonders of this polished style, it's true that not all side bangs are created equal. If left untended, side bangs can actually detract from your look — it takes some maintenance to keep 'em at that elusive, deliberate-but-not-overgrown-stage (watch out for the potential grease factor, too).
Luckily, though, we've brought you the best in celebrities doing side bangs the right way. Be they piece-y like Mia Wasikowska's or dense and dramatic à la Edie Campbell's, look to this pack of side-banged stars before your next cut — it's a cool-girl club you won't regret joining.

Hi! I'm Paul and I'm studying to become a killer creative strategist.
I have gathered a big chunk of work experience for my relatively young age of 29. So, I'm not exactly what you'd call green. I've been around the globe a few times as well – for example, I've worked in the US, Finland and Estonia.

I am looking into getting the Spectrum 375 Xtreme and had a few questions for all of you. I have owned a couple miller welders in the past and have been very satisfied with the performance. I know they are top of the line welders and I want to stay with Miller for my plasma cutter as well. Would you guys recommend this welder? (Most of my stuff is 1/4" and below, however occasionally i do some 3/8 and 1/2 work.) Will this plasma cutter be enough? Also i noticed that in the specs it says rated at... quality.... and severe.... Each phrase is followed by a thickness in inches. I know they are referring to metal thickness but which one do i go by? Please let me know what all of you think. Thanks.
Btw I am just a home hobbiest.

Spectrum 375 Xtreme
I have a spectrum 375 and it's great for the quick cuts on smaller steel, but when it comes to 3/8" steel you must cut pretty slow. I have a Hypotherm G3 1000 as well and I use it for the heavy stuff. It makes beautiful cuts on 1/2" steel. The 375 will struggle a bit on 3/8" and the cut quality isn't that great either. Just depends on how much big stuff you do compared to the price. I really like my 375... it has it's uses. It does have a narrow kerf as well... great for decorative work.
the 375 extream has gotten realy good reviews. i have the spec125-C and will be upgrading to the 375 when $$ alows it. the 125 has worked great for me for about 5 years or so now with no problems and nothing but all good to say for it.
i will be getting the standerd 375 insted of the extream most likely as i think the longer torch is helpfull in some situations and its a lil cheaper than the extream. both have gotten great reviews and would be fine for your use.
the ratings is set up to help you have an idea as to the cut quality at each thickness.
rated means its ment to make a perfect cut at that thickness
quality means you will still get a quality cut at 1/2"
sever means it will cut it just not as prity at 5/8" so realy you can go by all the ratings. with most of your cutting in the 1/4" this looks like a perfect fit.thanks for the help
hope i helped

Ive had the 375 extreme for about a year now, the ratings are pretty close, and since your a hobbyist you probbly wont mind a slower travel speed. Its really at home doing 1/4" and under and especially sheet work. I usually break out my small oxy-acet cutting torch for 1/2" as it will cut faster and cleaner. Overall its a great machine, I had the regular 375 and will never go back.

how much air...
How much air does it consume? Is it cost effective to have a separate dry air tank for the unit or will i be refilling it all the time? How much CFM does it need? How much cleaner and faster would the spectrum 625 be? I am not sure its worth the extra $$$ for my application.
05-29-2007, 05:10 PM #7cjdavis618 Guest
I have the Hypertherm powermax 30 which appears to be the same as the Extreme 375.
The hypertherm has Auto voltage but no interchageable plug. I have added a plug to my shop that is 220 for it, but I didn't change the plug so I can still use 110 also.
I like the hypertherm, and I am certain that you will like the extreme. When I first got my powermax 30, I was using the 20 amp 110 circuit and zipping through 1/4" plate with no trouble. I really don't see how I did anything without it before.
I do like the new nozzle and portability though.
As for CFM for air, it requires 4.5 at 60+ psi. It will not operate below that. And make sure whatever you connect it to, there must be a filter on it for water and oil. It has one built in, but I have found that having a 2 stage filter will catch what the 1st will not. After all, the extra $40 in safety for a $1200+ peice of equipment is very affordable.
a seperate tank is not a good idea unless its conected to the air compressor. a stand alown tank with no way of replenishing its air is a bad idea, your cuts will not be consistant and the presher drops will show up fast. an extra filter is a good idea as the cleaner the air the better the cut as well as the consumables will last longer. and the consumables can add up fast.
with the thicknesses you mentioned i would say the 375 would be fin. if you forsee thicker stuff in the future then go bigger and grow into insted of out of the tool.thanks for the help
hope i helped

E.L. James created a trilogy of books that turned the literary world on its head. The "50 Shades of Grey" series, highly erotic in nature, has sold more than 65 million copies worldwide and reserving a copy at the local library means staying on a long list for a long time.
With the success of anything comes the inevitable parody of it. Bring on "Spank! The 50 Shades Parody." The show, set to arrive May 22 at Fillmore Silver Spring, stars Danielle Trzcinski as Tasha Woode (a riff on Anastasia Steele for those who read the books) and Patrick Whalen as Hugh Hanson (or the Christian Grey character in this instance).
"It's a parody, which is so important because it is so funny," Trzcinski said. "I would say the show is 'Saturday Night Live' meets Chippendales. It is definitely a really fun night out on the town. You will have so much fun. You will be laughing your head off."
When the books started flying off the shelves, Trzcinski said the producer of the show called up the director to get a script ready.
"He got a group of comedy writers together — the best comedy writers in Canada — sat them down. They wrote it, and it was put up eight weeks later," Trzcinski said. "The response was crazy. The show sold out, and there were hundreds of women. Everybody was loving it, laughing, standing ovations and the producer said, 'I think we've got something!'"
Trzcinski, who laughs off stage just as easily as she does on it, takes great delight in portraying the Ana character.
"Because it is a parody, I really heighten things about her," Trzcinski said. "So she is very innocent, very virginal. I make her very naive. She is a lot like the character in the book. She is clumsy, a lip biter, but we definitely poke fun at things that, you know … she has a degree in literature, but she didn't have a computer in college. People seem to love that I have brown hair because they constantly talk in the book about her being a brunette."
It's no secret the books have a strong female fan base. Trzcinski said she believes the books provide an escape for women everywhere — and who doesn't love a mysterious, good-looking bad boy with lots of money?
"It's so exciting, the book is," Trzcinski said. "And Christian Grey's character is just so dark and mysterious, and he's handsome and a millionaire. So it's a fantasy. I know that the book is viewed as 'mommy porn.' I got the books from a woman when I used to babysit her kids. I think that that's just what it is — this man is just so dreamy and what he does, the sex life makes it so exciting.
"That's kind of how I feel about our show, is that it is an escape, first of all. It's a night out on the town — leave the men and children at home, and come have fun with your girlfriends because our man is exactly that — very handsome, very sexy. They go nuts for him. The minute he walks on stage, the women are screaming!"
Although the books are graphic in detail, Trzcinski said audiences shouldn't be worried about that. The writers took great pains to make sure the more blush-worthy scenes were scaled down.
"It is a bit steamy at times, but it is a parody," Trzcinski said. "If this was a movie, it would be an R-[rated] movie. There's no nudity, but there is a strip scene like 'Magic Mike' or a burlesque scene with our handsome man who strips down to his underwear, but that's mostly for the women who start screaming like it's Chippendales' night. There's not that much swearing — there's no 'F' words.
"I mean, the content itself is incredibly risqué, but we never go too far into that. We never want to make anyone feel uncomfortable."

Alex Brown leads a double life. By trade, he's a draftsman for the Department of Public Works for Fairfax County, but come the weekends, he puts aside his scientific side and becomes Alex Brown, the Certified Master Barbeque Judge. For many, that sounds a lot more tempting and tastier than his day job.
How did this all come about?
As Brown explains, "I grew up in Chesterfield, Virginia," he says. "And as a kid, my father used to cook barbecue for the local Shriners for their fundraisers. So I have been around barbeque most of my life."
Thanks to his early barbeque indoctrination, back in 1994, Brown attended the D.C. Barbeque Battle, a Memphis in May contest, which was then located in Georgetown on the waterfront.
During this first event, he noticed a group of people gathered together and asked one of the organizers who they were. "Judges," was the response. Being no stranger to barbeque with all its tastes, textures and aromas, and intrigued by the concept of "official judges," Brown signed up to learn the judging ropes. By October, he had taken and passed the requisite classes on how to judge barbeque, and began touring the cook-off challenges. That was nearly 20 years ago, he says, and now he has earned the title of Certified Master Barbeque Judge with Kansas City Barbeque Association. "To become one," he says, "you must judge 30 sanctioned contests, take a test, and cook with a barbeque team."
In addition, Brown is a member of the Memphis Barbeque Association.
When asked to describe a typical judging day, Brown remembers the most outstanding "pig-out" from the D.C. contest when he judged in the finals, for an event.
"As a finals judge, you go to the top 3 teams in each category, and that means those cooking a whole hog, a shoulder, and ribs," he says. "So I got to taste the best of the best, 9 teams in 2 ˝ hours. When you first start out as a judge, you may eat. But once you get acclimated and begin to judge several competitions, you just taste and pick around. ... A lot of judges, when hanging out together before a contest, eat breakfast. Why? Because if you're hungry during the competition, you eat, and you don't want to do that if you are doing a contest. During a typical contest you can get anywhere from 1 to 2 pounds of meat per sample, per category, per team. That means a judge could walk away having eaten 4 to 5 pounds of barbecue very easily."
Has he gained weight as a judge? "Well," he says, "I fluctuate. I exercise a couple of days a week and work hard to reduce weight off season, but I can weigh an extra 20 pounds by the end of the completion season."
Not surprisingly, as Brown confirms, the judges get special perks such as having the teams invite them into their cooking areas during off judging time because they want the judges to try their foods. "But they don't like us much after the contest if they don't win," he says jokingly. There are a couple of negatives to being a judge, he says. First, judges do get full, and, second, they now know what good barbecue should taste like, and it's hard to be on the receiving end of barbeque that isn't so good.
While Brown would not go on the record to endorse any particular local metro area barbeque destination, he does rave about 2 Memphis restaurants. "Some of the judges will get together when we are in Memphis," he says, "and if we get there early enough we try all the spots we can find, and we have found some nice little mom and pop places, but two of them that we particularly enjoy are the Dancing Pigs and Cozy Corner."
Recipe:BBQ Corned Beef Brisket
Alex Brown says: "It depends on how many briskets you buy: when I cook it, I cook 2 and at 5 pounds each. If you have a choice, buy flat cut rather than the point. ... About one hour before cooking, I take briskets out, heat up the grill to 200 degrees with wood or natural lump charcoal. Once I do that, I put on a favorite rub, about ˝ cup seasonings I rub into the meat with my hands. Brisket fat side down onto the cooking rack. Then I put it into an aluminum pan... I want the brisket to cook slowly, so I push the fire to one side of the grill, and let smoke do the rest. I cook it for 2 hours, and I spritz it every 15 minutes with a solution of half water and half 7 Up or apple juice. I remove the pan from the grill, and remove the meat from the pan. I put the meat on a large sheet of foil, then rub it again with seasoning, wrap it in foil, and put in the oven for 3 hours at 200 degrees. After that, I remove the brisket, and save the juices [pan drippings]. I let the meat rest, and I run the juices through the [fat] separator, slice the meat, and pour the juices over top."

Rosemont College is saddened to share that Dr. Suzanne Peterson Varimbi, retired Professor of Chemistry, passed away on Friday, November 9, 2012. Professor Varimbi was the wife of the late Joseph Varimbi, Ph. D., Professor Emeritus at Bryn Mawr College. She was born in Jamestown, NY where she attended Jamestown High School. After graduating magna cum laude from Wilson College in 1958, she attended graduate school at Bryn Mawr College where she received her Ph. D. in Organic Chemistry in 1963. Dr. Varimbi taught at Rosemont College from 1966 until her recent retirement in 2011. She was a longtime member of All Saints Church in Wynnewood, PA.
Although Professor Varimbi is remembered by generations of students as an inspired and gifted teacher and mentor, she is remembered with particular fondness as Suzie, Sue, Mom, Dr. V, or Grandma; a dedicated wife, sister, mother, friend and grandmother who inspired all whose lives she touched with her beautiful mind, her practical sensibility, and, perhaps most of all, her integrity. She will be missed deeply by her family, friends, and colleagues.
She is survived by three daughters; Carol, Martha (James) Ryan, Sara (Jeff) Hunt, four grandchildren; Samantha and Maxim Hunt, Conor and Aidan Ryan, three siblings; John Peterson, Nancy Meserole and Charlie Peterson. Funeral Services are private by the request of the family. Memorial contributions may be made in Professor Varimbi's honor to: Neighborhood Hospice, 795 East Marshall Street, Suite 204, West Chester, PA 19380, 610-696-6511.

Rarely has there been such unanimity of opinion in the political arena. Everybody – the voters, the pundits, liberal and conservative politicians – agreed that GOP challenger Mitt Romney won the first of three debates against President Obama this week. In fact, he cleaned the president's clock.
Romney won partly by his own performance – he was poised, assured, coolly in command of the facts – and partly because of Obama's poor showing. He seemed bored or distracted, unsure of what to say when any of his platitudes were challenged. Some said he was unprepared because an adoring press had led him to believe he was invincible. Some said his poor record in the first term was finally catching up with him.
Few observers said the debate represented a game-changer for Romney, but it re-energized his base and seemed to breathe new life into his campaign even as it somewhat demoralized the Democrats. Some did predict the Republican challenger would get a one- or two-point bump in the polls, almost guaranteeing that the race would be neck-and-neck right down to the wire.
The country could go in one of two radically different directions after the November elections. The debate this week showed the contrast. A handful of still-undecided voters who were watching will make all the difference.
There will be two more debates, one on foreign policy and one that will cover both foreign and domestic policy. Few think Obama will be as poorly prepared for those.

He just runs too out of control for me, his body is not compact enough, he's not low enough...those arms are too far out there (with the ball)...it's easy pickings for those defenders. He doesn't fumble every game, but he looks like he could/should.
He's not a special runner, and if you're going to fumble like that there is no place for you. I honestly would give Bolden a very very serious chance to win the starting job. I like Vareen, but the guy gets hurt and he can't break tackles - we really don't know what he is just yet - but I've seen him get brought down too easily by one defender to think he should be a feature back. I will say Vareen has some serious pass catching skills - he shook a corner out wide that should of been a long gain if Brady had gotten him that ball. He catches almost like a slot receiver...very smooth catchihng the ball...natural receiving skills. Blount is too slow and not powerful enough for my taste.

No matter what your project is, it all starts with a simple, yet complex task: goal-setting; nowadays neuroscience may prove of great help, by understanding how exactly your mind works and how you can trick it into achieving positive results. How exactly Can you set up your goal?
Positive Attitude
This is primordial, no doubt about it. Actually, there is no need for scientific studies to understand why good results are achievable only if you are positive and confident about your project and its success.
If you do not believe in your objectives, you will soon lose motivation, and we all know how that impacts any sort of activity.
Basic Goal-Setting Principles
Going back to neuroscience, here are some things to keep in mind when you set your own goal:
- Specificity. A goal should target a very specific result. If you simply decide to "make money", your brain will not be able to focus on this goal, because it does not have a well-defined pathway to that goal. On the other hand, if you set up multiple specific goals, defining exactly how are you going to make money, you will find it much easier to stick to them.
- Perseverance. No matter what your project is, setbacks will probably occur, at one point. This obviously, causes doubts about the goal that you set. Not to mention various collateral distracting factors. All these cause an internal conflict, so you do not know if it is still worth pursuing your initial goal. This is mainly due to your body producing lots of cortisol, a stress hormone. Do not let it take over, stay focused!
- Stay positive, no matter what happens. It is not just about having a positive attitude when setting up a goal, but also about keeping it while you pursue it. Experts in neuroscience say that, as you perceive the goal as being closer, your brain secretes more dopamine, a stimulant that overpowers cortisol.
- Find allies. Share your goals with other people around you. Family, friends, coworkers, they can all help you keep the positive attitude, up to the final success.
- Balance. You should always acknowledge the importance of your goal, but it should not rule your life. Getting distracted is bad, but so is over-thinking. Over-thinking will probably make lots of doubts to appear and cause enough stress to demotivate you. Neuroscience teaches us to always find our inner balance.

Chicago Honors Exceptional Eco Projects With Greenworks Awards
Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo
This project includes a 14-acre revitalization of the pond located at Lincoln Park's Zoo. The half-mile walkway is openly accessible to all visitors. 90% of the materials from the construction project were able to be reused, and the pond was dug deeper, so that fish would be able to weather the winter there. The outdoor classroom, shown above, was inspired by the shells of turtles that reside in the surrounding pond. The boardwalk, made from recycled plastic, has educational information about nature and the environment along its path.
CNT Energy Savers by CNT Energy
Facilitating efficiency upgrades to apartment buildings across the city, CNT Energy Savers has seen an average energy reduction of 30% per project. CNT doesn't just help with the labor in their renovations, but also educates building owners and aids in sorting through rebate paperwork.
The Joy Garden at Northside Preparatory High School by Urban Habitat Chicago
Students, teachers, and members of the neighboring community invested numerous hours of labor in a plan to transform the contaminated earth of a former salt storage area into a beautiful garden — all for just $7,000. Almost all of the materials used were reclaimed from other Chicago building sites.

This story was updated at 3 p.m. May 7, 2013.
A well-known, well-decorated precalculus teacher and wrestling coach in Montgomery County has resigned mid-year.
Jacob Scott, a teacher at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, resigned April 23, according to Brian Edwards, the school system's chief of staff.
Scott said by phone Friday that he resigned to pursue his own business ventures of "promoting youth education," but he acknowledged that rumors are going around saying otherwise.
Scott, who said he worked for the school system for 17 years, was not at school for weeks before he told one of his players on the wrestling team that he was leaving the school.
Sheri S. Verdonk, Blair's PTSA president, said Friday she knew from Principal Renay Johnson that Scott had been on "an extended leave," but she was not aware that he had resigned.
In an email, Edwards would not confirm Scott had been placed on leave before he resigned.
Scott recently received local and national media attention for his rapping-teaching technique, which he broadcast on his YouTube channel. He has been featured in a Reebok promotional video and on NPR. The Gazette first featured him in a November 2010 story and then again in January.
Scott said he is not able to talk legally about what happened, but he said he doubts he will return to the classroom.
"My services are better spent outside the classroom," Scott said.
Scott said rumors include that he changed student test scores, that he plagiarized videos and that he put students in videos without parental consent.
"If I went around trying to address rumors — I have a full-time job. I don't have time for that," Scott said. "I'm going to focus on my company and move forward."
Scott said he has nothing to hide, and he has a clear conscience.
"I'm sure that those who know the full story will be very careful what they say," he said.
Edwards said the school system could not speak about the reason for Scott's resignation, stating that it was a personnel matter.
Scott still has his teaching certification. The Maryland State Department of Education has not received a request to void the certification, said state spokesman William Reinhard.
Scott was last hired by the school system in January 2007, according to school system records. This school year, he was making $85,285.
Doug Prouty, president of the Montgomery County Education Association, the county's teachers union, said Tuesday that Scott reached out to the union for support within the last month.
"We provided him advice and support on some matters, and some matters he pursued on his own," Prouty said.
Prouty said most teachers who leave in the middle of the school year discuss it with the union beforehand.
Scott received the 2011 NAACP-MCPS Teacher of the Year Award.
In the school system's staff bulletin about the award, it said that Scott was dedicated to inspiring students of all backgrounds and abilities, especially students who speak English as a second language.
"He creates an environment to engage and motivate students and encourage them to master coursework and succeed in school," the bulletin states.

talking cup of coffee, why are you here?
Thanks, Alison!
Pinky is an adoptable bun at Hop A Long Hallow in Connecticut!
Disapproved of by Bill at 9:35 AM
Well, I'm just sayin' that those white bunns with the dark ears are pretty special! (My Luna did not threaten me to say that!) Pinky, you look like you somehow do not trust me ... or can't believe I'm so stupid ... which is it?
Surely somebody in Connecticut needs the daily abu ... er ... affection that only Pinky can bring.
just taking in your beauty Pinky!
You're precious, Pinky. All the best for finding your forever home.
Please update us when you do.
"Pinky" rhymes with "Binky".
However, it appears that because of our unwelcome proximity, binkying is the last thing on Pinky's mind!
But still, a loving forever home, with plenty of apce to run around and binky in, might change her mind!
I hope you get adopted soon, Pinky!
^ plenty of SPACE !
They're Pinky and The Brain
Pinky and the Brain
One is a genius
The other's insane
They're laboratory Mice..ahem, rabbits
Their genes have been spliced
They're Pinky Pinky Pinky
and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain
This was originally supposed to be a cartoon about laboratory rabbits taking over the world. But it was too REAL, and the Council of Rabbit Elders, who secretly rule the world already, refused to allow airtime. It was then changed to MICE.
You won't hear this on Wikileaks, the conspiracy runs too deep. Why do you think His Holiness Pope Benedict is resigning? He was given a offer he could not refuse.
Ouch! Pinky is a champion Sarcastibun.
Pinky, I am pretty sure I have colleagues who often consider me a talking cup of coffee, Speedy's Mum might be talking with a cup of tea, RG could be admiring you with a cup of hot chocolate, or Brandi could be strolling by with a shot glass. There are lots of perfectly plausible approximations of what you claim to be impossible. Far more importantly, nothing has a probability of zero or one. Someday anyone of us could be a talking cup of coffee in your neighborhood. I will grant you that you may dismiss a specific phenomena (hoomin bean) as not being a talking cup of coffee, but I hope, failing that, their mission is to give you a forever home. It is just about the only good explanation to the question,"what are you doing here?" that a bean can give. Good fortune, little bunn.
This is my favourite Pinky and The Brain bit:
That is, if you believe beans actually have brains!
Oh, I couldn't find Pinky on the page. I sure hope that means Pinky has adopted a slave or two! Wooowhoo! I hope and pray!
No, Pinky is still available for adoption, we've just been having some technical difficulties with our uploads! Hopefully we can update the site this weekend!

Imagine- you can produce a full size candle from "thin air"! Just reach into the air and POP- there's a candle in your hand! Or you can change a silk to a candle. Many more effects are possible. You can even use the Appearing Candle followed by the Vanishing Candle for a whole routine!
Choose WHITE or RED when ordering your candle.
You can either produce the candle from "thin air", or you can change a silk into the candle. To do the latter, you will need a 12" silk, preferably the same color as the candle.Produce this candle from a number of places. For example, if you have used mouth coils previously in the performance, gather up the paper coils into a bunch, with the closed candle secretly in the middle, and pop the candle open from inside the bunch of paper. You can also grab the closed candle from inside a production box or hat that is obviously too short to have held a long candle, but when you pop it open, it will seem impossible.

Why does E=mc²?
I think we can all agree that 1=1 but how can you say that E=mc². No one would say the E is the same letter as m.
One example I'd like to make is that NaCl=Na+ + Cl-
But in chemistry you do not use the equals sign you use arrows that indicate a process of conversion which is reversible.
Just as the conversion from energy to mass.
Jun 13 2013: I can't tell if you are being sincere with your question. I personally think you are confusing the concepts of abbreviations and variables.
- 0
In your examples, Na and Cl are abbreviations for the names of elements. They are a type of shorthand that chemists created to help describe the work that they do. They mean very specific items in the chemical world. You pointed out yourself they also used a special kind of shorthand to show that a conversion takes place - the arrow.
But in this case "E" is a variable in the model of a scientific idea and if you were to go read the scientific papers that Einstein wrote to explain the theory of relativity you would see that that "E" has a very specific meaning in this case. In fact, look at all the different meaning "E" or "e" can have in different subject areas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(disambiguation)May 20 2013: Well I'm trying to say that E cannot equal mass times speed of light squared because only E can equal E.
Or in the words of Robert Recorde,"...because no two things can be more equal."[taken from wikipedia]
That's why I want to see arrows used just as is commonplace in chemistry because NaCl cannot equal Na+ plus Cl-.
But Na+ and Cl- can bond toegther to form NaCl and ONLY through this process of bonding which takes time[among other things] can be equal to NaCl.
Hope that makes sense.
Jun 13 2013: Are you arguing that
- 0
16 + 16 cannot equal 32
8 * 4 cannot equal 32
64 / 2 cannot equal 32
the square root of 1024 cannot equal 32
42 - 10 cannot equal 32
because only 64 = 64.
Because that is what your question is asking.May 20 2013: In the equation D (distance travelled)= V (speed/time) X T (time travelled), it is not inferred that distance is interchangeable with speed or time. Are you saying in E=mc^2 energy, measured in Ergs, is interchangeable with mass, measured in grams, and the square of the speed of light in a vacuum, measured in Km/sec.? I agree that in the equation 16= 32/2 the quantity 32 when halved is interchangeable with the quantity 16, but that does not mean 16 is interchangeable with 32, or with 2. Have i missed your point?May 19 2013: E = mc^2 does not imply that mass may be converted to energy but it allows for matter to be converted to energy. Mass and matter are not exactly the same. E = mc^2 essentially states that all energy is mass and vice verse.May 19 2013: I am trying to say that only E=E. Whereas if energy equals mass a process of conversion were to need to take place which transforms energy to mass but in order to do so takes TIME.May 19 2013: I just remember seeing it fall out of some equations in my undergraduate days in 1970 or1971. Einstein apparently wanted to use " L" initially.
Comment deleted
May 19 2013: Energy itself is one, and mass is another one. E = mc² says is that matter and energy are interchangeable.
Energy can transform into matter and matter can transform into energy. They are just different pieces of the same puzzle, and both of them can be derivative of something else, mass could be in a different "currency" such as protons and neutrons, then be converted to mass and be interchanged with Energy.May 18 2013: I am not sure about what you are trying to say but I like your way to think! I think we have to remember the fact that they are different units and they must be converted (or at least equivalent), just like U$:1,00 = EUR:0.77 or just as simple as KE = 1/2 mv^2.

Ladies Dresses
Fall in love with one of the fabulous ladies' dresses at Isme, carefully chosen from leading brands like French Connection, Glamorous and Oasis. Our ranges cover every occasion, with showstopping maxis, professional pencil styles and cosy knitted dresses all just a click away. With so many dresses to choose from, you can either enjoy browsing through the gorgeous styles, or quickly narrow your search down by filtering based on anything from your favourite brand to the type of dress you need. We've got every style from skater to swing, so we know you'll find something you can't wait to wear.
What's Hot this Season
This season, the elegant midi length is back in full force, and we love how many gorgeous dresses are making the most of this flattering hemline. Fitted satin styles in deeper colours are ideal for weddings and dinner parties, while colour-blocked jersey dresses can be dressed down with ankle boots and a casual jacket. For parties, we've got some fabulous maxi-dresses from top brands like Berkertex, Vila and South. Go for a vibrant turquoise or pretty pattern to really stand out this summer - just add wedge heels and a statement necklace, and you've got a complete outfit.
What's your Style
Midi and maxi dresses can suit all different body types - it's just about finding the right fit for your figure. If you're a little self-conscious in clingy dresses, check out our loose cotton wrap midis. They've still got the same ladylike length, but the fitted bodice sits above a loose-fit pencil skirt, giving you a sleek and stylish silhouette. Alternatively, use some clever colour blocking to balance your proportions and go for a slinky jersey design by Vero Moda or Savoir. With maxis, we've got petite and tall sizes to ensure the hem sits in exactly the right place - choose a flowing number with batwing sleeves for the daytime, or go for evening glamour in delicate chiffon.

I have a miller auto invision two with a panasonic controller the maching welds only aluminum and is ran on argon gas. It is about fifeteen years old maybe a little younger buch not much. It will run fine for a couple days and then it will mess the welds up and start leaving material on top of the weld and not burn all the way into the alumuinum frames. The only way to remotely get the equipment to run halfway decent is to up the voltage and current flowing thru the welder. Any suggestions on how to correct the problem other than buy a new robot.

After news reports and a recent audit that found that citations had been wrongly issued, Baltimore County Del. Jon Cardin is drafting legislation that would keep a closer eye on the state's speed cameras.
Cardin (D-Dist. 11) of Owings Mills said he wants a review of all speed camera systems and contracts in the state, to be overseen by the General Assembly.
Each improper citation would result in a $1,000 fine for the jurisdiction or contractor responsible, Cardin said.
"Charging law-abiding citizens with crimes or administrative penalties for crimes or violations they haven't done is a terrible breach of public trust," Cardin said.
A legislative audit of the State Highway Administration, released in November, found that the contractor operating speed cameras in construction zones along state roads took many unreliable photographs from October 2009 through June 2010. During that time, only 44 percent of drivers photographed were actually sent citations; the other photos were unreliable or unreadable, according to the audit.
Cardin said that while cameras in Baltimore city offer drivers a pair of time-stamped photographs with each violation — intended to clearly show the movement of the vehicle — other jurisdictions don't offer that level of detail. He believes they should.
"Judges are throwing out tickets, and people are rightfully upset," said Cardin, who is exploring a run for attorney general in 2014.
Cardin said he expected his bill to have at least six or seven co-sponsors.
Recent reports in The (Baltimore) Sun have shown that speed cameras in Baltimore city — particularly one located on Cold Spring Road — had issued citations based on erroneous speed readings. In November, the city declined to renew its contract with Xerox, its speed-camera vendor, opting to work with the smaller Brekford Corp. of Hanover.
Brekford officials could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.
Prince George's County's speed-camera vendor, Optotraffic of Lanham, said it would be happy to answer any questions lawmakers might have about their system.
"There shouldn't be any bad citations sent out," said Tim Ayers, a company spokesman.
Fewer than one-half of 1 percent of citations from Optotraffic's cameras are even challenged in court, Ayers said.
The company operates about 100 speed cameras throughout the state, he said.
