Love this shoe. It will be great for the fall and winter. Lovely to purchase it at half the price.
I ordered the guything in pyrite and I'm obsessed as are all other people who see me in them. They are TRUE TO SIZE and on first try quite snug but not painful, and after walking in them for a couple of hours they become super comfortable. The guyish style with a feminine structure is very cool, and the shoes look very appropriate for almost any occasion. Many many complements on these, if you're on the fence just do it already. No regrets. I even had Cinderella's godmother at Disneyland approach me to talk up my shoes. So great, I can't wait to get another pair.
I was pleased to receive my shoes! They are beautiful,very classic looking shoe.It fits perfectly,and is quite comfortable.
I've had my eye on this shoe for some time. When I got it they only had 9.5 left and I can wear a 9.5 or 10. It was final sale and I went with the 9.5 hoping for the best. They were snug when I put them on but could get my feet in them. About a half hour later I had four blisters on the back of my heels. I'm going to get them stretched in hope that it helps. They're beautiful and I would still suggest them. I'm sure they'd be great in the right size.
The fit is perfect for my 9.5 2A hard to fit foot. I am taking this gorgeous flashy silver shoe with me to Italy to wear in the evening to dress up black slacks and fancy blouse and blazer to dinner and concerts. All I can say is comfortable low heel for walking around town and well worth the spend.
I have two pairs of GuyThings and would gladly buy more, in fact I am desperate to buy more, but don't want lace (!) or glitz. Please, please bring back basic black, brown, blue....
I bought these shoes in PYRITE NOCTURN and I have to admit they became my favorite Stuart Weizmann shoes. They look stunning, very comfortable to wear the whole day ,and could be dressed up and down. I have several compliments about these shoes!!! I wish I didn't pay the full price for them thought...
They are very comfortable and run true to size and width. They are super good looking and I get compliments on them all the time. I have them in tan, black, and navy blue. They are spectacular with any type of slacks and jeans.
Classy, understated, goes with practically everything.
The Guything loafer felt good on my feet immediately. These are the first shoes that I did not need to break-in. I would not change their appearance, but I would manufacture the heel slightly more narrow for my foot. I realize this is not a criticism of the shoe, because the narrow heal is mine. They are lovely and the intensity of the suede is reduced/offset by the dark value of the smooth leather, so they do not appear too bright on the foot.

Most people never fully appreciate, let alone remember, the significance in each day until it's far too late, once most of life has passed by.
But one local artist set out to capture a year's worth of time in a series of photos, as a reminder not to take for granted a precious moment in youth – her senior year of high school at Sacred Heart Academy.
At just 17 years of age, Cami Burruss embarked on her poignant photography project last May 31, inspired by the question, "Did you live each day, or just survive?" Snapping pictures of her daily life for the next 366 days, she recorded the most significant memories she experienced in one (leap) year and accompanied each image with touching lyrics, poems and thought-provoking descriptions.
"Each day I would try to find something that captured the most significant moment or something that would actually make me remember what happened that day," Burruss said of her work, titled "Project 365." "I go through a week then forget what I did the week before, so what I really liked about this is, I had every single day laid out. Pretty much taking the picture itself at least made me go out and do something, so I can for the most part say that I remember what happened every day."
The images weren't only meaningful to Burruss' life, but also triggered an emotional response from many who viewed part of her project posted on Facebook. One such person was Paula Weyler, Burruss' relative and co-owner of Revelry Boutique-Gallery, 980 Barret Ave.
"I just started seeing the pictures and I just loved what she was doing: the combination of the picture and the text to capture the day," Weyler said. "They were really good. And so I approached her about doing a show and we had a whole talk, and I was like, 'you're not getting the show because I know you or we're related; you're getting the show because your work is good. So if you're going to do it you have to take it seriously and you have to put together quality work.' "
Burruss did just that. She selected around 30 of her favorite photos of the 365 and ones she felt were her strongest work to be displayed inside of Revelry Boutique. Adding an extra element to the project, she printed the images on a variety of surfaces and mounted each with found and created objects in order to construct her mixed media masterpiece.
Now 18 years old, Burruss took her first photography class as a junior at Sacred Heart Academy – hard to believe considering her quality of work. This Fall, she'll study art and pre-med at Wake Forest University, where she earned the Presidential Scholarship for Art for her submission of "Project 365." In the meantime, Burruss – Revelry boutique's youngest ever featured artist – will exhibit her project inside the shop through Aug. 14. Since opening "Project 365" on July 20, many of her pieces have already been marked for purchase by gallery attendees.
"(We, at Revelry) try to look for ways to create art that's affordable and accessible to all different buyers and then also to give artists a chance to have access to the market," Weyler said. "(We include) work from those high-end artists to real young emerging artists. We've never had anyone as young as Cami, by far, but she did such an amazing show. … We're really happy with the way it turned out. What she did by taking more of a story, and then the mixed media elements and the text, it just gives it a whole different element that's beyond the photographs."
Revelry Boutique-Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.revelrygallery.com.

Hey there,
several weeks ago, there was a discussion on the Brauer hom (see Is the Brauer correspondence injective ? ). I like to investigate this hom when being applied to simple modules: Let $k$ be an alg. closed field of positive characteristic and let $G$ be a finite group. Assume that $P$ is a $p$-subgroup of $G$. What can be said about the image of the Brauer hom on a simple $kG$-module $S$ with vertex $P$, i.e. what can be said about $Br_P(S):=\frac{S^P}{\sum_{Q<P}tr^P_Q(S^Q)}$, where $S^Q$ denotes the $Q$-invariants of $S$ and $tr^P_Q:S^Q\rightarrow S^P, x\mapsto \sum_{g\in P/Q}gx$ denotes the trace map. Does the fact that $S$ is simple add any properties to the image as for instance indecomposable modules with trivial source do?

What is the Brauer group of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of a given dimension? I am primarily interested in the "open" moduli space, i.e. not a compactification. The question has several levels of generality depending on how general is the ground field (ring even?) but I know nothing, so already the knowing the analytic Brauer group over the complex numbers would be very interesting for me.
I am posting as an answer instead of a comment, even though I think this might be wrong, because I could not format the weblinks properly in comments.
Since the (orbifold) moduli space is a quotient of the Siegel upper half space by the (orbifold) fundamental group $\textbf{Sp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$, it seems to me that the analytic Brauer group of the moduli space should be $\text{Hom}(H_2,\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$, where $H_2 = H_2(\textbf{Sp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z}))$ is the kernel of the universal central extension of $\textbf{Sp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$. According to the proof of Proposition 2.3 of Finite quotients of symplectic groups vs mapping class groups by Funar and Pitsch, it is well-known that $H_2$ equals $\mathbb{Z}$ for all $g\geq 3$. So this implies that the analtyic Brauer group is $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$.

The bones of the front of the skull have continued to expand and cover the head, protecting the delicate brain structures beneath. The soft spot in between the skull bones (center) remains through pregnancy and into babyhood.
By the end of the first trimester it's normal to begin feeling a little breathless. This is because your heart and lungs are having to work much harder to supply your body with oxygen due to all the changes that are taking place to allow the baby to grow.
The amount of oxygen you need in pregnancy is about 20 percent more than normal; some of this goes to the placenta (see You are 10 Weeks Exactly) and baby and the rest to your other organs. To get this increased amount of oxygen you breathe faster and deeper, almost hyperventilating so you feel short of breath, especially when you exercise.
As your pregnancy continues, you may find that this shortness of breath or feeling that you are not breathing very deeply continues, or worsens. As the baby grows, your uterus will expand upward and your other abdominal organs will rearrange themselves to create more room. Your organs and uterus push up against your diaphragm so it becomes more difficult to take a deep breath, so in order to get all the oxygen you need, you then have to breathe much faster. The hormone progesterone may also affect the rate at which you breathe.
If you have any concerns about breathlessness, don't hesitate to speak to your doctor.
The majority of women who have had babies do report a permanent increase in breast size but it's unlikely to be to this extent! The effects of estrogen cause fat to be deposited in the breasts and when your milk comes in after the birth your breasts will get bigger, but reduce again once you have stopped breast-feeding.
By the end of this trimester, many of the early pregnancy symptoms are likely to have passed.
If your sickness hasn't passed yet, don't worry-for some women, it does last longer (see You are 13 Weeks Exactly).

Like what you see? There's more where this came from.
Kitsap Humane Society
Kitsap Humane Society needed a website rescue! They asked for a site that can handle oodles of helpful information and user transactions, while providing an easy-to-navigate, engaging experience…and large pictures of ridiculously cute dogs. This responsive WordPress site is easily updated by staff and will scale with them into the future.
Seattle Made
This community of local manufacturers was seeking an online directory – where prospective members can apply to the program, current members can manage online profiles, and the public can find Seattle makers. All tied up with a sweet SalesForce integration to help make things more efficient for the administrators!
TRAY has been a partner with Alteryx for nearly 4 years, and has worked on all aspects of its brand – from product marketing and lead generation, to digital campaigns and events.
Embarking on 20 years in Seattle, Gelatiamo engaged TRAY for a brand refresh, including identity, messaging, collateral, packaging, and a new website.
Urbanadd is a boutique Seattle architecture firm with an experienced, innovative and talent-packed team. They wanted their website to reflect their expertise, but also infuse a sense of fun and personality, since this is ultimately what resonates with their clients. We designed and developed a multi-layered, parallax-style site, with a custom portfolio gallery and unique navigation structure that reflects the nature of this firm.
Seattle Animal Shelter
This outdoor advertising campaign encourages Seattleites to respect and protect the local animal population, using humor rather than heartstrings to drive the message home. The campaign features a tongue-in-cheek approach to a typically serious topic: spay/neuter, a playful social media theme to promote pet adoption, and a proud, medal-winning dog to promote pet licensing.
Bellingham School District
Bellingham Public Schools wanted their district's strategic plan, "The Bellingham Promise," to be more than a static document guiding their progress forward. They envisioned a living and breathing initiative and an interactive online space to share The Promise with the greater school community. This WordPress micro-site gave them the platform they were seeking.
Caffe Vita
Caffe Vita came to us with an outdated website that did not reflect their brand and an antiquated e-commerce platform. After a thorough evaluation of their processes and objectives, we architected and designed the site that would help to streamline and improve online sales, as well as infuse the personality, community values, and story of Caffe Vita into the online experience.

- David Bauer, Partner, Hemispheres Research
Working with TRAY has been a pleasure. Not only are they really good at what they do, they also get what we're trying to do. They have a knack for asking the right questions and zeroing in on what we need to communicate.
- Christine Hanna, Director, Seattle Good Business Network
TRAY Creative was an indispensable marketing tool that offered fresh ideas in a world of status quo. The flexibility and exchanging of ideas was paramount in the branding of Delicatus—A Seattle Delicatessen.

TRAY Creative has a thorough understanding of a client's needs, which combined with outstanding creativity, has resulted in dynamic publications that we are proud to distribute.
- Anna Camacho, Hispanic Scholarship Fund
TRAY's rebrand of our corporate identity and flagship product gave us the confidence to pursue [new] accounts and positioned us for the future. Customers regularly comment on our image, and our sales have increased 20%… we attribute this to the work we did with TRAY.
- Mary Beth Overmeyer, Vice President of Operations and Marketing, Anodia Systems
Business minded. Community minded. Maybe a tiny bit out of our minds.
Our small, but well-caffeinated and crazy-talented, group has no shortage of marketing brilliance, unwavering integrity and get-it-done attitude. We take our work seriously, and with a good dose of humor. We're not afraid to admit that we get a little bit too excited about things like a smart logo design and a thoughtful navigation structure. Or ice cream, for that matter. People love working with us, and tell their friends to do the same – almost all of our new business comes from client referrals. We treat your company as if it were our own, and provide a uniquely-tailored and personal level of service that will impress the pants off of you.
Collaboration is the new black.
Our core team is lean and flexible by design, and our trusted partner network goes deep, allowing us to provide a wide range of services and solutions. We custom-build teams to precisely fit the needs of any project, providing our clients the convenience and ease of a single agency relationship, while leveraging a powerful array of talent and expertise. This approach allows TRAY to meticulously and efficiently manage each project, provide a personal and integrated relationship, and deliver big-agency results and solutions (without bloated rates).
Our heart's in it.
We love to work with clients who are community-focused and strive to make positive change in the world. TRAY is also committed to providing support to under-funded nonprofits through our pro bono program. A portion of every paid project helps us to fund this initiative. Some of the causes we are most passionate about: health & wellness, animal welfare, environmental protection, poverty relief, sustainable food production, education, empowering women, and social justice.
Bridget Perez
Bossy-Pants Creative Director
With a varied and results-producing career already under her (very stylish) belt, Bridget co-founded TRAY Creative in 2009. As Principal and Creative Director, she thoughtfully and meticulously leads each client's project from inception to fruition, asking the right questions, actively listening, and creatively solving problems along the way. Her personal values of integrity, mutual respect, and relationship building permeate the TRAY culture.
Bridget came to Seattle after living too long in Ohio and southern California, and gives back to her adopted community by supporting public radio (KEXP!), shopping locally, and working with several local nonprofits. Along with listening to audio books and taking walks, the bulk of her free time is spent searching for the most outstanding and memorable food experiences in Seattle and elsewhere. It is something of an obsession, and involves A LOT of pie. Also, her cats are far superior to any other four-legged creatures on the planet, so don't even try. Seriously. Bridget wins at cats.
James Pope
Pearl Jam Fanatical Senior Designer
James is a creative powerhouse with an unwavering insistence on perfection. Detail-oriented and maybe a little neurotic, he obsesses (in a good way) over spacing, grids, and alignment to create clean, efficient, user centered design. Originally from California, James prefers Seattle's higher tree-to-people ratio, and works hard to embody all of our city's most beloved clichés: he takes his espresso four shots at a time, he's seen Pearl Jam live more times than he can count, and he goes about his day with a lumberjack's beard attached to his face. On the rare occasions when James and his beard venture outside the office, they like to explore nature, photograph adventures, volunteer for Pearl Jam's various charities, and play guitar badly.
Kellee Bryan
Snark-Riddled Project Manager and Content Creationist
With nearly 15 years in marketing, content creation, and project management, Kellee wields her experience like a sword in a fierce battle against chaos, confusion, and poor grammar. In her role at TRAY, that translates to near-neurotic monitoring of task assignments, timelines, and budget spreadsheets – and the occasional manic rant detailing the stark differences between "effect" and "affect." Kellee's greater contributions to society include regularly storming the steps of the capitol in the name of public education, hugging trees and saving elephants, and raising her children to be engaged world citizens. Beyond that, she spends her downtime pressing her nose into books and the rest of her body into increasingly challenging yoga poses.
Ciara Hylarides
Mild Mannered Graphic Designer
Ciara loves design for its ability to transform brands and businesses. She has a knack for understanding brand context and audience motivation, and transforms those insights into design solutions strongly tied to business goals. Away from the office, Ciara is equally likely to be found with a backpack in the Cascades as she is with a fancy cocktail in Ballard's latest "it" spot. Though normally calm and even-keeled, she gets a little testy if she can't find her "good" pen or Tapatío at a Mexican restaurant. Ciara was raised on a farm outside of Seattle and despite lingering ambitions to relocate south of the border, she relishes her hometown's gray moodiness and confluence of art and technology. She contributes to the Emerald City's inherent beauty by considering the entire community her extended family, and seeking out opportunities to serve.
Jonna Bell
Stylish Brand and Marketing Strategist
An innovator and brand builder, Jonna's vast experience in marketing and communications spans from the agency world to the client side to being a startup entrepreneur. Her work is rooted in the belief that an organization's ability to engage a community isn't just about the image it presents to the world but also its internal cultures and operational structures. Jonna excels in developing identities, social strategies, and campaigns for companies pursuing a positive impact on the industries and regions they serve – from technology to fashion to heritage institutions in higher education and healthcare. By night, she is an accomplished photographer, lover of the arts, and dog mom to a silly Labradoodle named Fig.
Ben Krowkower
Technology Guru and All-Around Good Guy
Ben heads up TRAY's technical team and partner company, Upwards Tech, which he founded in 2005. With nearly two decades of technical wizardry under his belt, Ben fearlessly (well, most of the time) leads a team of 7 diverse and skilled engineers, bringing a full range of development solutions and maintenance support to our clients. Ben can problem-solve like nobody's business. He has a knack for finding just the right solutions among the myriad of available of tools and technologies that are practical, innovative, and cost-effective. Prior to forging out on his own, Ben served as the technology director on Washington State's Gregoire 2004 campaign and spent five years at Microsoft as a development lead and database developer. Because raising two small children and running a company doesn't keep him busy enough, Ben also serves on the City of Seattle's Citizens' Telecommunications and Technology Advisory Board, which advises the Seattle City Council on technology matters, and serves as the chair of the Digital Inclusion committee.
Christine Estrada
Foul-mouthed Web Developer
Christine combines tech skills with people skills, and can easily converse with clients in English rather than tech speak. She's worked as a designer, developer, and tech manager in the web industry for over 16 years and remembers the good 'ol days of Lynx. She's a pro in front-end technologies and specializes in responsive web development, open source solutions, and custom WordPress and ExpressionEngine applications. Christine loves running, hiking, nordic skiing, and yoga and is usually off on some crazy mountain adventure with her equally crazy dog. She crochets little animals and collects sparkly things and can be easily bribed with peanut butter cups. She can bust out some mean 50 Cent and Ludacris. Christine has a BS in Computer Graphics from Purdue University.

How damn Analoge, I knew somebody would lay valid claim to both badges eventually. You beautiful badge whore you.
How damn Analoge, I knew somebody would lay valid claim to both badges eventually. You beautiful badge whore you.
I do not understand you people and your love of me......but I'll take it.
Now that's the love I was lookin' for.
Analoge, edit that sucker into your avatar. Too many hoops to jump through to add it proper, and I usually break the forum when I try to actually do things.
Hells yeah, two more badges. Maybe now this stupid Pokemon will listen to me.
Apathy, if you have a pic showing off the vest send it to one of us and we can post it on This Month in the Community or something. That was rad and deserves to be showcased.
Anarchy Reigns is thread of the day. That counts for a badge right?
Also it's awesome and if you don't own it you should...soon.
Anyone else wants to buy a badge, Konnery gifted me a $30 game, fielding all offers.
So I actually looked at the badge list for the first time heh. So I was wondering if I could request a Pax East badge? I went last year and actually shot some video for the every pretty Jonathan Holmes. It was also where I met Mr John Bloodspray & Mr Gobbldigook for the first time. And probably thanks to them is what inspired me to give this whole forum things a whirl. Soooo yea...Good Story Conor...
Yes, and I'm sure FO beat it in a few hours.
I think everyone should be caught up!
Just realised there's a Werewolf badge, I've ran a game (currently running a second, very short, game). Badge me good, please.
I would like to make a formal request for the Front Page badge, since I just recently had one of my C-Blogs promoted.
Here's the link!!
Got you, congrats on the front page!

Given CU-Boulder staff member Jodi Schneiderman's perspective, one would think she works in the Office of International Education.
She says it's important for students to have a global mindset and to understand other cultures. And it's at CU-Boulder's Career Services where she works on this notion.
"If we can help ignite our students' excitement about international opportunities and hopefully help them reflect on those experiences, then we're going to have graduates who have built more global awareness and competence," said Schneiderman, program manager for international employment and a career counselor.
Career Services has long served students and alumni interested in or pursuing international experiences, but the office is increasingly specializing in resources for them.
The need has been clear partly from CU-Boulder's goal to increase its international student population to 10 percent, as well as its decade-long standing as No. 1 in Colorado for sending and receiving students internationally.
In addition to creating Schneiderman's position about a year ago, Career Services is offering more events like the Writing an International Resumé workshop to be held on Nov. 5 from 6 to 7 pm in the Koelbel Building, room 102. The event is free and open to the campus community.
The office also now provides access to Going Global, a database including more than 40 country guides with employment trends information, application tips and interview advice.
Additionally, Schneiderman has formed the cross-campus International Career Advisory Team, which brings together various departments to share knowledge in order to provide students with resources on international volunteer, internship and job opportunities.
"One of our biggest goals, and you'll see this in our programming, is to bring professional onto campus, and work with professionals already on campus, who've had international careers," said Schneiderman, "That's how students are going to learn about international careers -- exposure to people who've done it. That's how they'll see what an international career progression could look like, even if they don't walk through our doors at Career Services."
And thinking about international career development can be important even for students who want to work domestically.
"International doesn't necessarily mean a career overseas," said Schneiderman. "You could work for a nonprofit in Boulder that has an international mission, such as a microfinance organization that provides small loans to individuals in Kenya."
The Writing an International Resumé workshop will feature Antonio Papuzza, an instructor of international business and management at CU-Boulder's Leeds School of Business. Papuzza is an international consulting expert and says that international applications take more than adjusting a few lines on a resumé. He says applicants have to shift culturally to think like a potential employer.
For a listing of upcoming international career events visit http://careerservices.colorado.edu/CommonFiles/PDFs/students/InternationalEventsFlyer_fall2013.pdf.

The nose is well defined and in addition to regularly swallowing the amniotic fluid your baby is breathing it in and out through each nostril. Just as adults do, your baby will tend to favor breathing more through one nostril than the other.
The proportions of your baby's body are becoming much closer to those of a newborn baby. Up until the third month, his head accounted for almost half of his overall length. Now his head, trunk, and legs each account for a third. At birth your baby's head will still be large in proportion compared to an adult's, but it will be just a quarter of his overall length.
Still very skinny, your baby is now starting to fill out more as fat reserves continue to be laid down. Up until this point most babies are approximately the same size and weight. Genetic and especially environmental forces increasingly come into play, influencing how quickly your baby can grow and whether his full growth potential is eventually reached.
Because different babies increasingly vary in size from this stage of pregnancy, ultrasound dating becomes less accurate at determining the number of weeks you are into your pregnancy. The best time to date the pregnancy is between 11 and 14 weeks, simply measuring top to bottom (the crown rump length) (see Your first scan). The 20-week scan (see Your 20-week Scan) also dates the pregnancy very accurately from the head and abdominal circumferences and the bone measurement in the leg.
If your first scan is at this late stage, it is only possible to estimate roughly the stage of pregnancy and age of the baby. It is never appropriate to change your due date if an earlier, more accurate scan has been performed.
The general story goes that if you're carrying your baby low, you're having a boy, if you're carrying high, then you're having a girl. The truth is, the way you carry is probably determined by the tone of your abdominal and uterine muscles as well as the position of your baby.
According to those "old wives," there are other physical clues: if you've gained weight on your face and it's round and full, you're having a girl. If your right breast is larger than your left, it's a boy-and if your partner gains weight, you're "definitely" having a girl!

Fanotec is proud to announce a new entry into the product line - the Nodal Ninja 180 (NN180). The NN180 will support camera/lens combinations which NN3/5 do not support. They include gears for dual shot spherical panos (such as Nikon FC-E8/E9 and the Sunex 5.6mm Fisheye) and very long converter-camera combinations such as FC-E9/ Raynox DCR-CF185 Pro with long prosumer or point and shoot Digital Cameras.
NN180 is also intended to simplify pano taking for certain camera/lens combinations by allowing single row shooting instead of multi-row shooting. They include cameras with circular fisheye lenses (such as the Sigma 4.5mm, sigma 8mm on full frame camera, Sunex 5.6mm, Nikon FC-E8/E9) for making spherical panos, and wide angle lenses for making cylindrical panos. Lenses such as shaved Nikon 10.5mm on full frame sensor and Sigma 8mm on cropped sensor can be supported by using a L-bracket and slanted adapter (to be released later) for making spherical panos.
Here are the features.
* universal for all circular fisheye lens
From compact digital cameras (T-adapter required for offset tripod socket) with FC-E8/E9 to big professional cameras like Canon 1Ds series and Nikon D3.
* advanced rotator design (Rotator D4).
Fully lubricated bearing for smooth rotation. Same rotator also works with other Nodal Ninja's.
* 4 detent interval options
Complete set of 4 detent interval options (2, 3, 4, 6 stops /180, 120, 90, 60 degrees), suitable for most fisheye lens for making spherical panos. No skipping required..
* detent interval can be changed in seconds
* knob for locking rotation
Ideal for making HDR panos or in windy locations.
* small nadir footprint
Diameter of 54mm provides sufficient precision and stability while keeping the nadir footprint small. The unique placement of knobs means that they will never appear in the spherical panos.
* compact and light weight
Weight 500g. Much lighter than multi-row equivalents.
* 5kg loading supported
Supports all cameras up to medium format.
* more affordable than multi-row equivalent
Estimated time of availability is September/October.
Target price is US$199.95 and an introductory price of US$179.95

Chevrolet COPO Camaro 2012
It was in last year's SEMA that Chevrolet first displayed a concept version of the 2012 Camaro in full COPO trim and now, just a couple of days back, it has announced that it is going to produce the car, though in very limited numbers. If you are a drag racing fan then you must know that back in the sixties, the Chevrolet's special order vehicle division, called Central Office Production Order (COPO), became famous for the performance oriented Camaros it built, with the intention of turning them into full-fledged Stock Eliminator racers. Now after more than 50 years, Chevroletis planning to do the same with the 2012 Copo Camaro.

In each square in a table $10\times 10$ we write a whole number so the difference between any two numbers by the neighboring squares must be no more than $5$ (two squares are neighboring if they have a common side). Show that two of the numbers must be equal. Please help me!
Suppose all the numbers were different (say, numbered from 1 to 100, because anything farther is automatically impossible if that case is). How would you place the numbers down to minimize their differences? Are all these differences less than 5? Can you prove that it's impossible?
Solution: Write the number 1 on the top-left corner, and the number 100 on the bottom-right. The distance between 1 and 100 is 18 squares. So, trace out any path from 1 to 100 that is 18 squares long. Since the difference between consecutive squares is at most 5, the difference between the first and last squares along this path is at most 90, so a difference of 99 (from 1 to 100) is impossible.

Dress Up Station From Old Entertainment Center
Don't hate me when I tell you this…I have had this project done since January. BUT I couldn't show it to you because I had to redo Dylan's room to do it justice! We've all seen the cute kitchen play sets from repurposed crap (I super love this one from YHL)
We arent really a kitchen type family, BUT we are a dress up type family.
Dun dun dun dun!
So cute right!?!
So do you want to know how to bust it out?
Start with an ugly entertainment center (I found this one on Craigslist for $20)
After removing the unneseccary elements (doors, shelves etc.) it looked like this:
Also for those that are new, we have a rule at Vintage Revivals call Don't Judge My Hoard. So please abide by it. Thankyousomuch.
The first step was to get the closet door attached. Bought a piece of ply and had it cut to the right size at the store. We originally used MDF but were concerned with the durability and switched to 3/4 plywood. A few of the pictures below show the MDF before we decided to switch.
We attached it with hinges (by we I mean Court)
Then I trimmed it out. (ALL BY MYSELF!) I used preprimed chair rail moulding. Just make sure before you head to Home Depot or Lowes that you measure EVERY SINGLE THING. Got it?
I used my trusty nail gun to attach it.
Notice the gaps in the moulding at the hinges. I needed a small cut out of it to accommodate them. This could be SUPER complicate if you want it to be. Or you could do it the easy Mandilicious way. Cut a piece that is the right height and then cut it skinnier so that it still lines up. Hold on let me just show you.
Then you just putty the seams! Awesome right?!
The paneling was pretty easy to install. You can have your home improvement store cut it the right size but you will most likely have to notch out some corners. Then just slide it in through the back.
Because we were installing lighting in it we needed a sturdy back piece. This we had cut to exact measurements to fit in that space. If you are doing this take this thickness into account when you are measuring for your inside panel pieces or else you will have to trim them.
Now its time to putty, caulk and paint! Make sure you clean it REALLY well before. Rough it up with 150 grit sandpaper and use Kilz to prime. I needed 2 cans of Kilz and 3 cans of Krylon White Gloss.
Oh and you need to make sure that your elements all fit in the space.
For lighting I used super cute Jelly Jar lights from Home Depot (they are like $8-$10 each). And because you are not hardwiring it you will need a cord with an outlet plug at the end (these are like $5-$8)
Drill a hole for your wire and screw in your crossbars.
You will just use wire nuts to connect the cord wire to the light wires
and after you screw the light in place you are done!
*If you are not familiar with electrical work you can always contact an electrician to help you! Also we used a SUPER low wattage bulb so that it doesn't get too hot and have made my daughters aware that under no circumstances are they allowed to touch the lights.
I will be posting a tutorial later this week on how to paint the wood grain ply.
Once they were painted we attached them to the sides with short finishing nails.
The door was trimmed out once it was attached also.
We super lucked out with the mirror, there were small spots all along the edges that we could put screws. If you are using a mirror that doesn't have this you could glue it on with Gorilla Glue and I think it would be fine.
I will be posting a tutorial for how to make 3D play makeup too!
You can see the other elements in Dylan's Room Makeover Here. If you have any questions leave a comment and I will do my best to answer it there!!
If you liked this project I would love for you to vote Vintage Revivals for the Best DIY Blog over at Apartment Therapy. The top 6 become finalists and I am currently #7….And I am FREAKING out! You have to register with Apartment Therapy to be able to vote but it's the easy 30 second FB kind! You guys are AMAZING!

I converted to the Presbyterian faith from a Catholic upbringing a while back and have always wondered - but never had anyone to ask - why Catholics use "Trespassers" in the Lord's prayer (Please forgive our trespasses, as we forgive our Trespassers) and the Presbyterians use "Debtors". I'm sure someone has to have asked this question somewhere before me :-)

There's a great analysis by Dave Armstrong that goes into a lot more detail, but it comes from trying to best capture the point of the Lord's Prayer—as it's rendered in the Bible—in English.
There are two forms of the Lord's Prayer found in the Bible: one in Matthew and another in Luke.
In Matthew 6:9–13, the Lord's Prayer is rendered as (emphasis mine):
But in Luke 11:2–4, it's rendered as (emphasis mine):
Given it's more fleshed out, most Christians favor Matthew's version. In the original Greek, the word used in Matthew 6:12 is ὀφειλήματα, which means "debts". The word used in Luke 11:4 is ἁμαρτίας, which means "sins".
So, to be in line with the original manuscript, "debts" is the correct word, and indeed, most Christians (including all non-English Catholics) use "debts".
In English, however, "debts" and "debtors" usually refer to a loan: a monetary debt to a bank, for example. But later on in Matthew, it says:
So while the actual word is "debts", it's clear the point of the Lord's Prayer is to say that one ought to forgive those who wrong us, just as God forgives us our sins and transgressions, not that we ought to forgive loans made upon us (i.e., God doesn't "loan" us sins).
To make clear the point of the prayer,"debts" was replaced with "trespasses". This translation became popular in 16th century England, even making it into the Book of Common Prayer. The Roman Catholic version of the Lord's Prayer is almost identical to the Book of Common Prayer's version at the time, and has not been changed since then.
Interestingly, the English version of the Missal recently underwent a fairly dramatic change as things were retranslated to better correspond to the original meaning of words, but the Lord's Prayer was skipped. I could not find any explicit justification for the omission, which suggests to me that the Vatican still considers the use of "trespasses" to accurately convey the intent of the prayer.
Note 1: Also translated as trespasses, depending on the translation.
This is an English translation issue, not a Protestant/Catholic issue.
Latin is the official language of the Catholic Church and the Latin says:
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris
Being raised Catholic, I was taught trespasses vs debtors. As a child, I was also taught to use the shorter version without:
When Freemasons say the Lord's prayer we use debtors. Which was the first time I had heard it done that way. I thought that we (Freemasons) were wrong until I researched and found out that it's very plausible that debtors is the correct translation.
My research showed that John Wycliffe in 1382, debts and debtors was used. Only the Tyndale version of 1525 used trespasses. I was completely perplexed! Ultimately we probably mean something like:
But change is not something we do well :)
In line with what Mark Trapp said, please see this

Unfortunately ... i too have been seriously considering other frameworks — while yes i would agree sencha is amazing and solid when it works — the documentation is absolutely horrible. Most of it is not up to date and misleading and troubleshooting as a result is incredibly painful and practically impossible as a result.

I have to say — regardless of how well sencha touch 2 is capable of performing — the documentation is just so terrible. It is confusing, not up to date, and as a result i am left with no other choice but to recommend another framework to my clients — it has been so long now — and yet there are still video tutorials and written documentation that is not even correct at this point. — horrible

I had make two generator code.. first using extjs 3.3 something and and jquery + twitter boostrap. Both will generated around 1k per form javascript..
Jquery and twitter boostrap best alternative because of grid only. The most reason data grid.. I'm not sure the latest sencha okay on datagrid more then 500 record.... that's the only my issue changing.

Better API Design...
I really enjoy the concepts of extJS property based programming, but there is an urgent need to have real API designers, the developers need to learn how to create a stable API and stick to it.
The API changes are so chaotic, that even in .x.x releases the code breaks! (between 4.1.1 and 4.1.3 you get breaking changes! WTF!), also, when you create a property based API (like extJS uses with JSON and xtypes), you need to have convention over configuration, which pretty much means that you only override the properties you need to customize, if you leave the rest without definition then it should work out of the box, but here the API has so much inter-dependency between properties, that if set one property and forget to change some other stupid property to "true" or something, then it doesn't work! the API should adapt depending on the properties you define so that it almost always work without worrying that setting a property in the same component will break everything, property changes should just work as expected and according to the name of the property without worrying that changing one property will break the whole UI.
Another thing would be to have actual API freezes on certain versions, because when you have, for example, version 4.1.1, you expect that 4.1.3 would be mostly bug fixes, but no! you get a whole bunch of new functionality and property deprecation, that I've had projects that when just replacing one version to another like 4.0.3 to 4.0.7, the application broke with a zillion issues, instead of just upgrading and taking advantage of bug fixes or just minor improvements in functionality, and leave the really new stuff to another .X release like 4.0 to 4.1
I would strongly recommend the Sencha developers to read this small free book: "The Little Manual of API Design" by Jasmin Blanchette, and even though is more oriented to C++, the concepts are all the same, she's the main responsible of the current API Design that Digia Qt has, and believe me, it's one amazing API to use, so simple and transparent, you wouldn't believe it.
I've been developing apps and libraries for 15 years, of those, 11 years have been on C++ and Java, and I consider myself a medium level Javascript programmer (I've only been programming in it for 3 years and just part-time) but having a good API Design will make Sencha's users and programmers' life so easy, that extJS would be the best Javascript library without a doubt, by just improving the API use.

Sadly truthful.
I hope doesn't happen again in the future...

+20 for the docs, I am new to sencha but this looks like it has been a long standing problem with docs, examples, videos, being incomplete, wrong, or just plain not useful and hard to understand, no explanation of what when why to use functions of api and how they fit together, yes some high level overview but not real detail and not complete examples most api functions just have a short def with no example. Its frustrating to use. I moved away from KendoUI becuase of the poor docs, examples and forum, thinking Sencha has been around so much longer that they shouldn't have these issues. Ughh frustrating, two good frameworks but hard to understand because of lack of good info.

I've worked with ExtJS for many years and consider it to have the best documentation in the industry.
If you find a doc bug, just comment on it right in the docs!

He thinks that the best documentation is Java's SDK has, second is Sencha's products.
For newcomers of both (Java and Sencha's proucts) is overwhelm because is a lot of information in a very small space. I used ExtJS for a couple of years now but remember at the beginning that was really hard to process such amount of information.
As any complex framework, newcomers should buy a good book like the ones Jay Garcia has wrote or is writing now.
Can you learn Java only looking at the JavaDoc? Or (when was a cool technology) Flex? Or .NET?

Fiedorczyk's compete in race
SARGENT'S PURCHASE, N.H. - Weirton resident Jeff Fiedorczyk and his brother Alex Fiedorczyk of Westford, Mass. ran in the 53rd Northeast Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race, also known as "The Run To The Clouds."
The historic all-uphill run draws thousands of runners from across New England, throughout the U.S., and from countries as close as Canada and as far away as Kenya, to make the grueling climb to the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast.
The Fiedorczyk brothers, avid runners, both ran track for Madonna High School. It was Jeff's second run of the road race.
Alex ran for the fourth time. He ran track and cross country for West Virginia University.
The race covers 4,600 vertical feet. The temperature at the peak was 39 degrees, with average wind speeds of 36 MPH, and gusts up to 50. Temperature at the starting line was 61 degrees.
In order to qualify for this challenging 7.6 mile trek up Mt. Washington Auto Road to the summit, runners must participate in a lottery. Over 2,000 applied and 1,300 were chosen to compete.

Catholic commentary round-up on proposed attack in Syria
The past few days have seen a burst of commentary from Catholic writers about the proposed attack in Syria. This blog has featured a lot, and the current issue of the magazine has Gabriel Said Reynolds's essential short take. A few other items of note, and feel free to add more in the comments:
Maryann Cusimano Love on the "just war" question in the Huffington Post
Drew Christiansen, S.J., on the role of prayer in Washington Post "On Faith"
Tobias Winright on "just war" analysis in The Tablet and Catholic Moral Theology
R. R. Reno on "symbolic killing" in First Things
The USCCB's letter to President Obama
E. J. Dionne's column in praise of democracy, today in the Washington Post
Michael Sean Winters taking the liberal interventionist route in National Catholic Reporter
And, of course, the Pope has been leading the way from last week's Angelus to his letter to President Putin to his forceful social media activism, about which I wrote a short piece in the Washington Post's "On Faith" section. My take-home point was: "Prayerful, prophetic denunciation of war is one papal tradition that the reform-minded Francis will not be changing."
Elizabeth Tenety offered a round-up of some of these critiques from the commentariat, and then posed the question of whether all the Catholics in political power in the United States are listening.
Are they???
Finally, if you're in the New York area, I'm sure the Pope's out-front anti-war message will become a topic of conversation at our Fordham panel about Pope Francis on Mon, Sept 9, at Lincoln Center campus. Info and RSVP HERE.

Here's another one:
"What moral theologians say about getting involved in Syria," Thomas Reese, NCR, Sept. 3, 2013
I liked this from The Jesuit Post ... http://thejesuitpost.org/site/2013/09/on-syria-praying-because-we-dont-k...
How about these?
We all have the strength to endure the misfortune of others. (Francois de la Rouchefoucald)
Every person must decide whether to walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of selfishness. This is the judgment. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others? (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)
My questions are:
1. How reliable is the U. S. intelligence and what does it tell us about the current facts?
2. Given our intelligence, what are the likely outcomes if:
a) Syria's military is crippled
b) Syria's military is not crippled
Or is the situation just so complex that likely projections simply cannot be made? Is there anything in the M.E. that is predictable?
Our government is proposing to kill people because its will was not followed, no more no less. No justification, no chance of success. Lets suffer the wounded pride and credibility and move on. Now if someone is proposing a real commitment and solution, then it's worth a discussion.
Kerry's new argument is that we need to send a 'message' to Iran.... so we need to mail missles to Damascus.,, sounds like a Rumsfeld idea. .
What the US intelligence and government officials tell us has nothing to do with the truth. Here is what they told us ten years ago ( http://zfacts.com/iraq-war-quotes ).
09/18/2002, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense (before Congress)
"We do know that the Iraqi regime has chemical and biological weapons. His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of chemical weapons -- including VX, sarin, cyclosarin and mustard gas. ... His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of biological weapons—including anthrax and botulism toxin, and possibly smallpox." (presentation to Congress)
10/7/2002, George W. Bush, President
"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."
02/08/2003, George W. Bush, President
"We also know that Iraq is harboring a terrorist network headed by a senior al Qaeda terrorist planner. This network runs a poison and explosive training camp in northeast Iraq, and many of its leaders are known to be in Baghdad."
03/22/2003, General Tommy Franks
"There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. As this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them."
03/30/2003, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense
"We know where they are [Iraq's weapons of mass destruction]. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
Oh, come off it, folks. There is no one "U. S. government", some one purportedly real person with a will of its own who persists through time and chooses to fool us poor benighted citizenry about its selfish and sinister intentions. "The U. S. government" is a group of people with varying amounts of information and power, with the president of any particular time having the most power, but even he isn't the whole of it.
If you want to accuse anybody or any group of people, NAME them and tell us the evidence you have for your specific accusations about specific events in time -- with dates and places. Otherwise quite your blanket moralizeing.
As the no vote gains momentum in the House, Boehner and Pelosi, both Catholics, will most assuredly start whipping the vote in the president's favour. Pelosi is a master at it. And Biden, another Catholic will forcefully engage Congress on this issue. Kerrry, another Catholic, is the most forceful and articulate proponent of the action.
I see little to no evidence of a moral calculus around the concept of just war being part of the comments (except arguably from Kerry). Most arguements tend to focus on the need to keep US credibility (notwithstanding Obama's whiffing on his red-line comment), sending a message to Iran, and at least setting the conditions to support the "opposition" (aka al Qaeda) to gain momentum.
And by the way, Obama to secure the hawks of the Republican wing, agreed to supply the opposition with artillery, training, and other forms of logistical support. So, this resolution does, in fact, include robust engagement even if there are not ground troops.
There are certainly other paths for resolution. Both Putin and Obama agreed a few months ago to work towards a negotiated agreement but Obama was not able to get the opposition to the table. If we are so engaged with these so called moderates, why can we not convince them that sitting down and talking in mediated discussions a settlement? And is this not the more moral resolution. This is doing "something". Part of that discussion can include how to secure chemical weapons away from the country
I have seen little attention in the secular press to the Pope's letter to Putin or Cardinal Dolan's to Obama. Have I missed it?
It think the attitude of a large part of the secular press when it comes to Catholic statements that don't fit the general trend of the moment is: Quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Prayer and sacrifice? That won't earn front page placement on any major newspaper, blogsite or television channel.
Dolan has about as much credibility as does Marcel Maciel. No one really cares what he says.

Does it make sense to return a
410 instead of
404 when some page has been permanently removed? In this video, Matt Cutts says that Google treats them the same, but are there other reasons to implement a
410 (except for technical correctness)?
On our website we have recently implemented 410 errors for pages that have been removed permanently. We have around 40 million pages in the Google index and get crawled with 2 million requests per day by the Googlebot.
After cleaning up our database we found a large number of 404 errors kept showing up in the Crawl Errors on Webmaster Tools. When we switched to 410 statuses instead of 404 the number of errors per day cut in half while the total number of requests done kept around the same. So that's more successfully crawled pages per day in the end. It looks like pages with a 404 status get crawled multiple times before being removed from the index fully.
So I would say, yes definitely worth using 410 where appropriate in order to maintain your Google Crawl budget.
There is more than Google in this world. A 410 unambiguously tells a bot that the file is gone. A 404 does not. A persistent bot might keep trying to find a 404 indefinitely whereas they might stop trying to find a 410 immediately which would make your server very happy.
Besides there being more search engines than Google out there, there's also no reason to assume that Google won't ever change the way they treat 410 responses. Indeed, it seems that's already happened: the information Matt Cutts quotes in the video is from 2007, whereas this post from 2009 by John Mu on Google's Webmaster Central forums says otherwise:
So it looks like Google is now indeed treating 410 responses differently from 404s.
In my experience, Google doesn't understand 410 error codes.
Some time ago, I changed a full site so all the old URLs are "410 Gone". I can't use 301 redirects because there is no direct relationship to a new URL.
I used a
Quoted for truth. Given your requirement, to tell bots (and presumably humans as well) that a page has been permanently removed, I'd actually opt for a
The lesser-known HTTP error codes usually aren't as well supported, understood or implemented across the board, so I generally stick to the ones that are in order to ensure the expected and hopefully seamless browsing experience.
Choosing which option to go with is dependent on how many request are still coming through for the (now) missing content.

You may have planned a vacation before you found out you were pregnant, or just feel like getting away. If you're feeling tired and have morning sickness, however, you may not feel up to traveling too far.
One advantage of going away is being able to spend quality time with your partner and fully embrace the fact that you're going to be parents. When going on vacation, check with travel insurance companies to see if you can get coverage during pregnancy and check the medical facilities at your destination. If you have prenatal records, take them with you. Some airlines may not accept pregnant women on flights after 36 weeks without a doctor's lettter written within 72 hours of the flight confirming your due date and your fitness to fly.
Exercise can help keep breathlessness at bay, and increase the efficiency of your heart and lungs (cardiovascular system), helping you to deal with the physical demands of pregnancy now and in later months.
A cardiovascular workout involves increasing your heart rate for at least 20-30 minutes. However, pregnancy is not a time to start training for a marathon; stick to moderate-intensity workouts. A way to test if you are exercising at the right level is to talk while you are working out (see You are 13 Weeks and 1 Day)-if you can't, lower the intensity.
Try doing interval training, which involves alternating five minutes of cardiovascular workouts with five minutes of toning for the upper body . Breathe out as you lift the weights, and in as you relax.
Breathing deeply allows oxygen to travel to your vital organs and helps the cardiovascular system to function effectively. During pregnancy, it's important to avoid taking short, shallow breaths and to focus on expanding your rib cage and filling your lungs with air.

To the Editor:
On behalf of Grand Kids Child Care Center, we would like to thank the Board of County Commissioners and the Town of Winter Park for generously awarding Grand Kids with grant money for scholarships for our families. Our scholarship program makes a huge difference for many of our families so their children can attend a nurturing preschool/childcare for infants through 5 years-old.
The Town of Winter Park also gave Grand Kids grant money to support our annual Fall Festival that is held at the end of September each year. This has been our largest fundraiser for our center for the past 12 years. It is an event that hosts a full day of fun activities for families in the community, such as horse rides, bouncy castle, games, fire truck rides and much more.
The kindness and generosity of these wonderful organizations is greatly appreciated by many local parents, teachers and beautiful children.
Ashley Bobo, Grand Kids Director
Lisa Waldorf, Grand Kids Board President
and all the parents, staff and children
