"He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth…" (Surat al-Anam, 101)
In physics, "shape memory alloy" is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold-forged shape: returning the pre-deformed shape by heating. This miraculous property occurs while giving heat to metal or in environments where higher temperatures are available. However shape memory is an innate function for spider-spun threads.
The spider thread, the unique structure in nature known to be able to revert its original shape without being exposed to any external effect, is produced by 6 different silk secreted from 6 different sacs. In order to measure the strength of the thread, scientists hanged a spider known as Araneus diadematus and another small object with the same weight with an angle of 90 degree to three threads made up of different materials and twisted them. In this state they recorded how long it took for them to return to their original states. The conclusions were;
Kevlar polymer thread used in bullet-proof vests provides sufficient flexibility yet it could decrease the effect of twisting at a minimum level.
Copper thread had difficulty to return to its original shape and after a few turns it almost came to the point of breaking.
The silk of Araneus diadematus regained its original shape in a very short time.
Let's think about someone who tries to descend from a high place with the help of a rope. During the descent the rope will constantly twist, turn to right and left and render the action difficult. However such a situation does not hold true for spiders. Fibrils making up the net of the spider prevent the spider to have difficulty while sliding down. This way spider slides down silently in a stable fashion. What offers this opportunity to the spider is the "shape memory" of the thread.
Our Lord created the spider thread which is incomparably stronger and flexible than all other threads with a unique molecular structure that endows it "shape memory". The molecular structure of proteins making up the silk interpenetrates in a complex fashion. This molecular structure renders the thread resistant against turning. It absorbs the force of distortion and twisting and ensures that it regains its original shape by relaxing after the twist. This way the weight hanging at the end of the rope does not turn right and left because of being subject to the effect of twisting.
The shape memory in nitinol alloy used in industry
The nickel-titanium alloys commercialized under the trade name of Nitinol is the alloy that displays the closest resemblance to the shape memory spider thread possesses in nature.
This metal alloy has features resembling the spider thread but contrary to the spider thread nitinol must be heated up to 90 degree Celsius to make it revert to its initial shape. Nitinol that changes shape according to the given heat can convert into two different shapes or crystal structure.
Accordingly nitinol deforms at temperatures lower than 90 degree Celsius but at higher temperatures it can revert to its original shape. This conversion occurs by linear or planar sliding of atoms over one another.
Even if deformed or distorted, when Nitinol is heated over the temperatures needed for the conversion, atoms which previously changed their places readily slide to their initial locations in the softened structure. This ensures that metal reverts to its original shape.
The place of metals with shape memory in our life
Our All-Mighty Lord offers us many blessings in this world. Metals with shape memory are among these blessings. This property of metals makes it possible to develop many technological products that make our lives easier. Some of them are the following:
Equipment used in open heart surgeries and nervous system operations.
Materials placed in blood vessels that are used to catch clots.
Super elastic glass frames that can resist enormous deformations and revert to their original shapes.
Curved wires used to correct deformations of aesthetical appearance of teeth.
Security valves that are produced to prevent the exit of poisonous and combustible gas in case of a fire.
All Mighty Allah creates with no prior examples
The strong, flexible and non-deforming shape of spider thread and metals that can remember their original shapes although they are inorganic are only a few examples displaying the infinite might of our Lord Who is able to create from nothing. In every detail we see the evidence of All Mighty Allah's flawless Creation. Every matter, be it organic or inorganic, reminds us His greatness and the blessings He grants us and makes us remember Him and give thanks to Him.
Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nahl, 17-18)
Take a sheet of paper, crumple it into the shape of a small ball. Then leave it somewhere. In time the paper will slightly open but never revert to its original shape. Yet there is a material in nature that reverts to its former shape. Furthermore while human beings can only produce this material by the help of heat, this material in nature, which is produced by no external intervention, is produced by tiny spiders no longer than a few centimeters.
Nitinol is the material that most resembles spider thread with shape memory. However for a material that is made-of nitinol to revert to its initial state it should absolutely be exposed to high temperatures.
Discovery of shape memory in alloys
The shape memory in alloys was first discovered in 1960s. Nickel-titanium alloys were first developed in Naval Ordnance Laboratories in 1962-1963 and commercialized under the trade name of Nitinol. Their remarkable properties were discovered in an unexpected way. Samples were peened and thus subjected to resistance tests to measure how much force was needed to deform them. Once a few pounds were made on the alloy researchers left the samples in the window pane and left for lunch. When they returned, they saw that the sample stretched back to their original shapes. This great discovery that offers many benefits to humanity occurred by this means Allah created.
The shape memory in spider thread enables the spider to hang upside down no matter what the surrounding conditions may be. This way spider can wait for its hunt silently and without moving. This flawless feature of spider thread is one of the examples of our Lord's infinite knowledge which is related in the Qur'an with the verse:
"That is because Allah is the Real and gives life to the dead and has power over all things." (Surat al-Hajj, 6)
How do we benefit from the filters placed in blood vessels?
One of the areas in which alloys with shape memory are used is blood vessels. Filters placed in blood vessels catch clots and save people from life-threatening dangers. For this operation, an anchor-shaped filter made from nickel-titanium wire is flattened before its insertion into blood vessel. Once it is placed into the blood vessel it gets into action with the body heat and stretches back to its initial shape and catches clothes in veins. No doubt that the raw-material of filter is able to benefit from shape memory by the help of heat is only one of the blessings our Lord grants humanity.

Super Hussey destroys Warwickshire
Warwickshire 156 (Sidebottom 4-41, Harris 4-41)
Notts 514 (Hussey 232*, Read 89)
Warwickshire 207
Notts won by an innings and 151 runs
The 28-year-old demolished the Warwickshire attack in tandem with Chris Read to set up the innings victory before dedicating his performance to the Director of Cricket.
Said Hussey: ?I?ve been a consistent scorer this season but before this game I?d hit eight half-centuries and only one hundred.
?Mick Newell had a chat with me before the game and asked me to start converting my good starts into three figures. Once I got to 50 I was absolutely determined to do that and also make it a really big score.
?I stuck to my game plan and showed a bit of patience before going for my shots, which was very pleasing.?
Our seamers destroyed the Warwickshire batting line-up before tea on day one with some excellent swing bowling, with Ryan Sidebottom and AJ Harris both taking four wickets each.
And although the visitors had us in trouble at 75-4, Hussey and Read absorbed pressure before counter-attacking on day two.
Read fell for 89 but Hussey kept on going and eventually pushed all the visiting fielders onto the boundary with some spectacular shots before running out of partners.
We quickly finished the job before lunch on day three to go back into first place in Division One, just ahead of rivals Kent.

Sounds like someones a bit out of touch. Quayle never left politics, he's a career politician. He's been deeply involved since leaving the VP. Someone hasn't been paying attention ;)
Really, someone is talking about drafting Hillary? I think she's done a good job as Secretary of State, at least what we know about. I still have some friends at State, they also think she's done alright, all things considered.. Always thought her husband should've been drafted :-D, along w/ Cheney and 90% of those who also became politicians after Vietnam was over. Just speaking as a veteran :)As for the GOP; 'watch out, falling politicians ahead' seems to be the main theme.thomas
Romney is a mixed bag. as a business man, he's got a good head. as governor he leaned left of center on to many issues. there are so many issues of overreaching government that need to be taken on by the next president and congress, we can't afford to have either willing to compromise toward the left.
Huh? Turn the channel man!thomas
I Ditched conservatism when Dubya screwed up our economy!
LOL, there might be some truth in your second point! However compared to some of these Republicans, Obama looks like a genius!

1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The manual transmission may become difficult to shift, this is commonly caused by binding between the synchronizer and the gear surface. Adding a special friction modifier to the manual transmission fluid will often correct this condition. If the problem persists revised synchronizer kits may be available.
The 80 amp fusible link for the charging system can fail and is often overlooked when diagnosing a charging system that is not working. Our technicians recommend to make sure this fusible link is OK before replacing any charging system components.
The engine may stall or develop a rough idle with the Check Engine Light illuminated and fault code 15 stored in the ECU. Our technicians tell us that the engine electrical grounds are critical, all 5 should be inspected and cleaned as necessary. An additional ground lead kit is also available which can be installed to help correct this condition.
The door glass may be hard to roll up and/or come out of the run channel. Our technicians tell us the repair can include adjustment of the run channel, regulator to glass, regulator to door, and if necessary shimming of the window regulator.
A squeal or squeak type noise may be heard from the rear brakes on application. Our technicians tell us there is an updated rear brake pad shim kit which can help reduce this type of noise.
On 2.4L 4 cylinder engines a whining noise may be noted when the engine is cold and the rpm is in the 1800-2000 range. Our technicians tell us that most commonly this type of noise is coming from the engine oil pump. The repair is to replace the front case assembly and both the drive and driven oil pump gears.
Carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common. Over time this can lead to symptoms varying from light ticking to knocking noises. Performing a fuel injector cleaning procedure can often help the condition by removing some of the piston top deposits.
A hesitation/stumble or driveway dieout maybe noted when starting the engine cold. This can be caused by carbon deposits built up on various intake components - air flow sensor, air intake hose, air intake plenum, and intake manifold. These components should be inspected and cleaned as necessary. If heavy deposits are found on the intake valves the cylinder head may need to be removed for proper cleaning.
A driveline vibration may be noted on smooth roads. If the occurs all driveline mounts should be inspected and replaced as necessary. Upper and lower radiator mounts should also be inspected in the same manner. If all mounts are good and the problem continues updated engine and transmission mounting brackets are available which may help this condition.

The University of Tokyo's Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory focusses their research on sensory information and relevant technologies. The lab's "Haptic Radar / Extended Skin Project" uses body mounted range sensors and small vibrating motors to alert the wearer of any approaching objects –
We are developing a wearable and modular device allowing users to perceive and respond to spatial information using haptic cues in an intuitive and unobstrusive way.The system is composed of an array of "optical-hair modules", each of which senses range information and transduces it as an appropriate vibro-tactile cue on the skin directly beneath it. An analogy for our artificial sensory system in the animal world would be the cellular cilia, insect antennae, as well as the specialized sensory hairs of mammalian whiskers.

Smith: NU has fostered a culture of excellence
- 10/16/2003
Smith told the University of Nebraska Board of Regents today he is grateful for the support of the four campus chancellors in encouraging aggressive competition for research funding. "The faculty responded, and the results are phenomenal," he said.
Smith made the remarks during his annual state-of-the-university address –his last as president.
When Smith arrived in 1994, the university was bringing in about $66 million annually in competitive research grants. This year so far, competitive grants stand at $147 million, and Smith said that, before he steps down next June, he expects the university to surpass $175 million. Recent grants have included $10.5 million to study genes in neurosensory systems at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and $6.5 million to develop a botulism vaccine at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Smaller, but critically important grants include $800,000 for the University of Nebraska at Kearney to help improve English proficiency in Nebraska schools, and $2 million to the University of Nebraska at Omaha to help increase the number of students pursuing science and mathematics degrees.
Research was only one area Smith cited as having improved significantly over the past decade. Others include:
- New and renovated buildings on all four campuses thanks to an $80 million bond issue funded jointly by the university and the Nebraska Legislature and with additional support from the University of Nebraska Foundation;
- Recruitment of top students –Smith said only a few top scholars chose NU campuses in 1993; this year, over half the Nebraska high school scholars listed in the Omaha World-Herald and Lincoln Journal Star chose NU;
- A growing national reputation for graduate education –with over a dozen graduate programs listed in U.S. News & World Report's 2004 rankings of "Best Graduate Schools;"
- Improved diversity, thanks in part to creation of the position of Associate to the President to advance minority and gender equity –minority faculty numbers have more than doubled and minority student enrollment has grown from 5.9 to 7.5 percent during the decade;
- Concentration on the needs of Nebraska farmers and ranchers and improved rural health care;
- Implementation of systems to make university communications and business operations more efficient and effective;
- Better communication about the university and its value to the state through an integrated marketing plan;
- More private funding, including $727 million raised by the NU Foundation in its "Campaign Nebraska."
Smith also presented the regents with a vision of the University of Nebraska in the future that:
- students select as their first choice among all schools
- reaches out to minority students, especially in Latino and low-income families
- wins multi-million dollar grants in science, humanities, medicine, and technology to improve health care, agriculture, and business operations
- aggressively seeks new strategic partnerships with the business community
- reaches all Nebraskans through a statewide telecommunications network
- encourages individual campuses to pursue their unique missions but also to work in collaboration to advance teaching, learning, and discovery.
Smith has announced plans to step down from the university presidency effective June 30, 2004. Following a faculty development leave, he plans to teach in the UNL School of Biological Sciences.

My girl does this too! She walks from room to room, ears back, saying hello...she also greets me with a lovely sit and ears back when I get home! Then I get right down in her face and tell her what a pretty girl she is....I'm actually trying to mark the behavior so that I can call her pretty girl and she'll sit like that😆. My daughter pushed her ears down tonight and said " look mom, she's a black lab!" Which we hear all the time anyways😭😭

My boy has two floppy ears and I was told by our vet he has thin ear cartilage. We had him fixed because we did not plan on breeding and he still a very loved, valued member of our family, as he always will be. His ears are part of his personality. He only puts them up when something really gets his attention.
He (Coda) is a great dog ! He is almost 2 years old now so his ears are what they are. Guess what, we don't care! He is AWESOME!
I love you ears...
My 2 year old boy is all around beautiful! Great bloodlines and a tail that most show dogs (or rather their caretakers) would kill for. He has an extremely mellow temperament, is athletic (can easily catch a ball with all 4 paws 6 feet off the ground), has a strong back and legs, is very social with people & other dogs and is very quick to learn & understand what you want. His mother had 3 litters and many of them are search & rescue and assistance dogs. He is the only of all of his siblings who has a horizontal left ear. Raven was neutered when he was about 9 months old since I was not interested in breeding him - but his clone would definitely be an asset to the canine nation. Since he's a biker dog, who took to the sidecar without a second thought, his appearance may be part of his non-conformist attitude; or it may be simply be a reflection of his love |_
flop-eared fan
I agree with Mocha....except that my rescue/shelter dog *IS* the best dog ever just messing with ya
No, I would not breed a dog with weak ears, but that's also secondary to temperament and health. What training and titles does the dog have? Health certifications? He'd have to really be something else to breed with a weak ear.
I could be taking this out of context, but it sounds like you only want to breed him because he is purebred and beautiful. That is not a legitimate reason to breed, and if he has a floppy ear he should not be bred. And unfortunately, price does not determine quality.
Every dog you see walking down the shelter row was once thought to be "the best dog ever" or "the most beautiful dog ever" too. What does your dog offer that those dogs do not? Something to keep in mind.
Neither of the contracts for my dogs came with anything about the ear, but rather had specific instructions to contact them if one didn't go up, since steps can be taken to help it go up. However, it is genetic and a fault, and lets face it, the ears are a huge part of this breed that we love so much.
But like said below, that is not the make it or break it. If your dog is titled and has proven that he has multiple, more important reasons why he should be bred, than maybe he should be. However, if the only reason is that he is beautiful, he shouldn't.
I would personally be upset if I purchased a puppy, the ear didn't go up, and then I later found out the parent had a weak ear and was bred regardless. But that's just me. It's one thing if I damaged it, but if it was knowingly passed on I feel that I would be a little angry. (This is hypothetical of course, I always want to see the parents first)
Just enjoy him as a wonderful pet that he probably is. Always buy a puppy first and foremost as a companion and whatever other plans you'd like, deciding on breeding should always be decided after the dog develops.
It is a fault. A disqualifying fault. It is genetic, and you really shouldn't breed the dog.
Check your contract. Chances are the warranty only covers hips and elbows, but some do cover genetic issues. If you bought a show puppy or a dog specifically for breeding, you should have gotten a contract that provided for the event that the dog has a disqualifying fault or genetic disease.
Check your contract, and if it does not mention anything of the sort -- chalk it up as a learning opportunity. But don't exacerbate the problem by breeding the boy.
A puppy is a crap shoot. Sometimes they do develop issues, faults, etc. And we need to go into it with that understanding. There are a lot worse problems out there than an ear not fully erect. It means the dog shouldn't be bred, but otherwise it does not take away from him being an awesome pet. $2300 is not out of the ball park for a well-bred, healthy pet with a good temperament. With all the problems that plague this breed, many people would gladly exchange their dog's issue for yours: Epilepsy, hemangiosarcoma, weak nerves/fear biter, crippling hip or elbow dysplasia, DM, weak nerves/storm phobia, MegaE, Spondylosis, weak nerves/separation anxiety, and on and on.
Love your puppy. This one shouldn't be bred.
|JakodaCD OA
|Sounds like he has weak ears. Personally I wouldn't breed him but there is more to breeding than 'ears'. My feeling is, if you wouldn't purchase from the breeder again, why would you breed one of their dogs? Just my opinion.
Put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer of one of your stud's progeny....would you want the same to happen to them as what happened to you?
Just because a dog is "expensive" and one has full rights to the animal by no means constitutes a reason to simply go ahead and breed the dog.
In your own words...." He is beautiful and I love him more than anything,".....that should be more than adequate. Too many breeders already and too many producing crappy dogs.

To study Religion is to reflect both sympathetically and critically on the ways human beings understand themselves and act in relationship to the world. This study encompasses matters of faith, action, human existence and the crises that have faced civilizations over time.
Our religion majors inquire rigorously into the big questions in an inter-religious and global context. Among the questions we ask together are: How do we understand, speak about, and relate to ultimate reality? What are we, and how should we act in light of our place in the universe? How do spiritual values shape the social order? What do we need to know about the religious traditions of the world in order to work toward mutual respect and reconciliation?
Our approach to these inquiries is both intellectual and experiential.
Our faculty have collaborated with students on research projects on such topics as "Religion and Hip Hop" and "Spiritual but not Religious."
Religion students have participated in recent off-campus programs that included study of religious traditions in such places as China, France, Japan, Jordan, Northern Ireland and Spain.
Earlham's religion faculty are scholar-practitioners: people committed to trying to live the things we teach. Our teaching is both critical and sympathetic. We emphasize students' self-reflection and self-development along with objective knowledge. We want to help our students articulate their beliefs and values and to hold their own while maintaining openness in a religiously plural world.
Lilly library includes the Quaker collection, and we also collaborate with Quaker Fellows, Newlin Center, and campus Religious Life. We're blessed to have the seminary adjoining the college, which adds to the richness of our library holdings and to possibilities for advanced work for our students.
Our majors have gone on to Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Brandeis, Claremont, Union Theological Seminary in New York, the Graduate Theological Union, Starr King, Iliff, Candler and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
Others have worked throughout the country and the world for social service agencies sponsored by religious bodies, often dedicating themselves to conflict resolution.
Some students seek graduate school preparation for careers in secondary or university teaching, and a number become counselors for religious and public service agencies.
Still others have gone into such diverse fields as the arts, medicine, public health, business, publishing, public relations and law.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by OLD SKOOL HQ, Apr 6, 2009.
Over or under that Granderson hits 40 dingers over the short Yankee right fence next season?
Jayson Stark: New York Yankees shake up winter meetings by adding Granderson - ESPN Over.
Wow, that is a good breakdown. Good rationale for why he might be worth more to another team than to us.
Instead of trading him, maybe we should brought in the fence another 15 ft and he could had 45-50 total for us....
It would be good if we had a fence that would move farther away in the top half of the innings and then creep in during the bottom of the innings. Retractable fence.
Camerica is a pitchers park. Granderson will have amazing numbers...against righties...but not lefties! Miguel Cabrera is not gone next and I'm pretty sure wanted the pair to stick together. Also note that I said "if." Looking at Wikipedia both Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller hasn't done much. Be happy you got the sort of sure product. D-Train just stinks.
- Yeah Yanks don't need to develope players, that's what minor league teams are for. I think it's win win.

Teaching the Course
Since Sojourner House quickly fills the time slots for its elective HHILS courses, it is best to start the process of finding co-instructors and a time slot as soon as possible (although co-instructors might not teach the class for several months).
In the beginning of the semester, begin securing co-instructors. Once co-instructors commit, contact the Sojourner House to find out the available time slots for elective courses that semester. Decide the time slot that works best with the schedules of co-instructors and confirm this time with the Volunteer Coordinator.
Two weeks before the first class, contact the co-instructors to find times that work in everyone's schedules for weekly meetings. If possible, try to schedule the first weekly meeting four to five days before the day of the class and the second weekly meeting one or two days before the day of the class. Continue these weekly meetings for every class.
Finding Co-Instructors
Ideally, three or four co-instructors should teach the Sisterhood course. This may seem like too many co-instructors for a class with only between eight and twelve students, but it actually works quite well. The co-instructors are able to split up the topics for that week so that no one person is responsible for all of the teaching. Additionally, although topics are split up, no co-instructor should ever feel as if (s)he is teaching alone. The other co-instructors often provide additional insight and help each other out if another co-instructor is unsure how to respond to a question or situation. The course could also work with two co-instructors, but more than four would probably be too many.
A great place to begin looking for teachers is through talking to members of the Undergraduate Council for Gender & Women's Studies and Women's Caucus. Another resource is the Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender & Women's Studies (SBAI). SBAI has a list of contact information for current undergraduate Women's Studies majors, minors, and clusters.
When talking or emailing with potential co-instructors, it will be most effective to emphasize that potential co-instructors need not be experts, but rather the most important aspect is that they care about the issues. Sometimes students are hesitant because they are worried about the time commitment and feel as if they do not know enough about the topics. It is important, therefore, to explain that the time commitment is minimal- the actual time teaching is only one hour per week for four weeks. Similarly, the preparation time usually ends up being roughly one or two hours per week. On the other hand, it is also important to explain that no one has to be an expert in feminism or women's studies and there are no pre-requisites to participate in teaching. The topics are pretty basic and the co-instructors work together to help each other teach.
Course Materials
The following documents are examples of useful resources. These agendas were developed by the instructors in the spring of 2009. Since these agendas are examples, co-instructors should meet to evolve or adjust the agendas in whatever ways work best for them.

- Before updating these agendas, the co-instructors should have a conversation about the following issues:
- How can this course be the most beneficial to the students?
- How do we incorporate consciousness-raising into the course?
- What are our goals for the semester?
The following document is a list of Rochester-area resources. Instructors can refer to these agencies for help and assistance, and may choose to provide their students with this handout. Instructors have found this handout helpful in answering questions about local places of interest.

Before developing the "consciousness-raising" model, "Sisterhood" was taught as a topics course. Although the course is no longer modeled around these topics, they are still pertinent to class discussions.

Weekly Meetings
Meetings serve as a time to split up the topics, strategies ways to present these subjects, and discuss any concerns or questions a co-instructor may have about their topic. Meeting twice each week works well, but it is ultimately up to the discretion of the current co-instructors to decide how often to meet each week. An example of the breakdown for two meetings per week is as follows:
- During the first meeting, co-instructors decide on the topics for that week and devise a basic agenda. These topics can often be tricky to present effectively and meeting again in a few days gives the co-instructors time to brainstorm different techniques.
- During the second meeting, co-instructors review the topics and any new insights for presentation ideas. Additionally, co-instructors finalize the agenda, decide who will take which topics, and come up with a basic time schedule for how long each of the topics should take.
Two meetings are very effective because they address and iron out any problems before teaching the class. For example, if the co-instructors decide during the first meeting to incorporate a movie clip, but the co-instructor is unable to find the movie, the second meeting allows the co-instructors to revise the plan. Also, two meetings would not necessarily mean a longer time commitment since the meetings could be shorter.
The following document is an outline of situations that may be encountered during the course and proposed responses to those situations.

Description: Vincent Harding, Iliff Emeritus Professor of Religion and Social Transformation, will lead a late July session, "Sharing Our Common Ground" at Ring Lake Ranch, Wyoming. This session will focus on Dr. Harding's belief that a healthy, multiracial democracy can only be built upon the shared stories of its citizens. We will hear Dr. Harding's life journey, as well as share the stories of RLR guests. Our conversation will be framed by Howard Thurman's book The Search for Common Ground.
Vincent Harding is one of the great leaders of the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Harding worked throughout the South in the 1960s on the the anti-segregation campaigns of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality. He drafted speeches for Martin Luther King, including King's famous anti-Vietnam speech, "A Time to Break Silence." He was the first director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center and served as senior academic consultant for the PBS television series Eyes on the Prize.
Dr. Harding taught at Iliff from 1981 to 2004. He remains active in community issues as the founder of the Veterans of Hope Project, a multifaceted educational initiative on religion, culture and participatory democracy.

With shirtwoot now offering all their past designs in the Anvil brand (some may be still out of print), this will no doubt reopen the wounds of those who sorely miss the AA (American Apparel) branded shirts. List your highly desired shirtwoot design(s) below and maybe a fellow wooter might have an extra to offer in the AA tee. (edit) Or list your AA tees that you like to sell/trade.
As a sort of backwards response, I have the following in AA, mens 2x, and will happily trade the real thing for the same design as an anvil XL.
Angry Day
Death Drinks a Mai Tai
Feed the Whale
Mr. Toast
Road Closed
Rodentian Gothic
The Extinct
The Rustic
(possibly more to come)
I'm not a big fan of Anvil, nor am I of DTG printing, but a somewhat shoddy copy of a tee I've already bought will serve me far better than one which is comically too large for me.

No problem at all! On a second thought, maybe I should have titled this thread as "AA shirt trade center".
Larry, can you edit the title? I thought the OP could edit the title after a thread was posted, but I don't know if there's a time limit on it. (And thank you for starting the "AA Trading Thread"!) Or maybe ThunderThighs would be able to edit the thread title if you can't?

There is no time limit. I edited a thread title I posted weeks ago once the "service" email changed to "firstname.lastname@example.com"
There are many shirts I would love on AA. But I will only list 3 -
Fat Unicorn, AA, ML
Four Little Ponies of the Apocalypse, AA, ML
Cloak of Visibility, AA, ML
Edited (a few times, heh)! Lemme know if you want it edited further. I gots teh powah.
Also, I have SO MANY AA shirts that I want... but I'll only list my top few that have any realistic chance of being found/available. This post is a placeholder for my list as I link it up. Ladies, gentlemen: I will be loving anything in my forthcoming list in WM, WL, WXL, and, at last resort, MS.
Here are the ones I have to sell or trade, if anyone is interested! They are all unwashed and unworn!
The Binge - WXL (AA)
District 14 - MM (AA)
Kitchen Warfare - MM (AA) - sold!
If I only had a brain - MS (AA) - sold!
Epic Fail - WM (AA) sold!
I have an unwashed and unworn MS Sliced Bread AA shirt.

PM'ed you. Thanks!
I have, all new and unworn:
Lucky Pig
The Binge
We're more than famous!
Family Portrait
I realize this is incredibly unlikely, but I am desperately looking for Fresh Cake Remix in 3x.
My husband ordered it for me. It got lost courtesy of USPS not being able to forward mail correctly-- it has been "out for delivery" and "rerouted to new address" for over a week-- We only moved about 10 minutes away.
Got word from service today that we're out of luck, it's out of stock, and they've refunded the order. My heart is breaking. I have many other AAs in Men's XL and 3X I can trade (listed in my signature on teetrade), or am more than happy to purchase. I'm even willing to trade 2 shirts for this one.
I would like to clear out some AA's to make room for what I really want in the new format, or I can trade T-shirts for a zip-up hoodie in M or L (or a lightweight zip-up hoodie in L). (I am picky though.) All are unworn/unwashed unless noted:
K4 Diplodocus and Cover
K6 Cloral
MS Poe-etic
MM Couldn't Care Less Bear
MM Historical Inspiration
MM It Came Out of Nowhere
MM Slow and Steady
ML Schrodinger's Equation
ML Reflections on Pi
ML Flying
ML Aw, And I Didn't Get You Anything (worn a time or two)
ML Earth's Heart Monitor (worn a time or two)
WXL Spring-a-tron (from the side sale, still AA)
MXL Night Owl (worn a couple times)
MXL Say No To Scurvy (worn a few times)
MXL One Flew Out of the Cuckoo Clock (worn a few times)
I also have the Wootie zip-up hoodie in L for trade (or sale).
The hoodies that I like are:
The Binge
Lost in Transition
Eats, Shoot & Leaves
Bring Back Pluto
Star Trails
The Filthy Hippies
New, From Entrophy Records
Nyan's Dream
Tin: Old School
I could do two for one for a long-sleeve shirt. I'm not crazy about pullover hoodies, but if it is something I like, I could do that too. PM me.
I still have a few AA copies of "Zu Chongzhi's Estimate" unworn and unwashed in several different sizes. PM me if you're interested.
simply the fact that this thread exists should say something to woot.
but......... we all know the sad truth.
Oh my gosh, great idea for a thread! I hated having to sift through the other message board for people with AA in my size- particularly since it's so hard to come by now.
Anyways, I have these available shirts to trade or sell:
Poison (WL- AA)
Lapwing Sunset (WL- AA)
The Birthplace of Inspiration (WL- AA)
Behold! (WM- AA)
Motivation (WM-AA)
Southbound (WM-AA)
Hope you're looking for one of these! Message me if you're interested.
Here are my AAs:
Ugly Holiday Sweater 2011, AA WM
Epic Fail, AA WS
I have an washed, unworn AA MM The Formula For Success that I would like to trade for something else in MM.
I'm interested in AA 3x shirts, nothing in particular I'm searching for though. Definitely interested in looking at what people have to offer though.
Get your list of AA shirts wanted and/or have up here for the holidays!
I've got some AAs. All short sleeve. See here for pics.
When Life Sucks
The Formula for Success
Best Friends Forever
Hold Still Guys!
Green woot! logo shirt
Will trade for AA or Anvil in Men's S M L, or Kids' 4 6 8. Hoodies, long sleeves, totes, aprons, whatever. Make me an offer.
Long shot, but I would like an AA WM Friends are Forever shirt.
Sorry for the late post, but today's shirt woot offering, Counting Sheep has both men's and woman's sized shirts on royal blue AA blanks!

Interesting. Now it says "Out of Print." So does Wrinkled, In Time, but that one says it is printing on Anvil. The other royal blues in the reckoning are also out of print in most sizes.
goneferal wrote:Interesting. Now it says "Out of Print." So does Wrinkled, In Time, but that one says it is printing on Anvil. The other royal blues in the reckoning are also out of print in most sizes.
Under the features tab for these royal blue shirts, woot mentions they are having supply issues.
Gosh, today's shirt woot has another AA royal blue shirt for women and men: Recurring Dreams
Better hurry up and buy if you're into this because of the supply issues with royal blue shirts. The supply of AA royal blue shirts from the previous offering, Counting Sheep lasted only one day. The shirt page for Sheep now says it's "Out of print".
edit: Sheep is now back in print!
i have this in xxl:
App/pear-ances can be deceiving (on AA)
it can be yours for $10 or trade. personally i can wear either 2xl or 3xl and am not totally opposed to anvil (some fit fine, some not so fine, but still more likely to get worn than this is.) i can also trade for other sizes to give as gifts.
I have Kitchen Warfare in AA WL.
Would sell for $10 or trade for pretty much anything in AA WM, WL, MS, or MM.
I have this one to trade in 2XL from a random shirt buy. This is an AA shirt, although Anvil fits me just the same - send a pm with your 2XL for trade!
edit: traded!
Men 2XL Up for trade:
Historical Inspiration
Detecting a Class 5 Fruit Event Incoming
Spirit Animal
The Sleeping Giants
Stereo Scope E
Super Effective

The opposition alliance headed by Anwar Ibrahim is rather secretive concerning its next moves which might result in the overthrow of a coalition which has led the nation for over thirty years. Anwar reportedly is seeking to engage in discussions with Malalysia's entrenched government in order to avoid possible violence when the change in government occurs. There is talk several defectors from the government's coalition are prepared to go public with their names in the coming days. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has pledged to thwart Mr. Anwar's attempt to unseat the ruling National Front government.
The entire issue is confused by government efforts to arrest opponents on charges of creating turmoil and threatening national security. Malaysia's Cabinet Minister in charge of legal affairs, Zaid Ibrahim, resigned in protest over the arrest of government opponents.
It is very uncertain as to whether the National Front will go quietly or whether it will decide to remain violently.

There's a lot of effort exerted by marketing leaders to turn customers into brand advocates. But their customers have a lot of brand choices and a lot of other things on their minds. What these marketers are overlooking is the potential brand advocates in their own backyard. Their employees. Employees are fundamentally connected to, thinking about, and representing your brand every day. They are often your biggest fans.
Indeed, our research shows that one of the biggest shifts of brand building in the 21st century is that — for leading brands — it is now a companywide effort. A unanimous 100% of marketing leaders surveyed by Forrester agreed that brand building requires all employees to be brand ambassadors. But the companies they lead are not yet living up to this aspiration. While many marketers' eyes light up at the prospect of tapping in to their employees' Twitter networks, just focusing on social is missing the point. Yes, social is a valuable tool to create conversation. But true employee brand advocacy requires chief marketing officers (CMOs) to go deeper. They need to make delivering a superior brand experience part of the enterprise culture. Brand advocacy can't be another task on someone's to-do list. Make brand building part of how employees do their job and guide them by the light of a clear brand North Star so that your powerful new army marches to the same drumbeat. Forrester's three-step framework guides the way:

Location: Innovative Fruit Production, Improvement and ProtectionTitle: Girdling and summer pruning in apple increase soil respiration Author
|Glenn, David
|Campostrini, Eliemar
Submitted to: Scientia Horticulturae
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/15/2010
Publication Date: 4/23/2011
Citation: Glenn, D.M., Campostrini, E. 2011. Girdling and summer pruning in apple increase soil respiration. Scientia Horticultureae. DOI: 10.1016/j.scienta.2011.04.023. Interpretive Summary: When the canopy of trees is pruned or restricted by damage or girdling, the effect on the root system is unclear. In field studies, we cut a spiral around the trunks of apple trees, girdling, and summer pruned approximately 30% of the canopy from apple trees; both common horticultural practices in apple production. We measured the carbon dioxide emissions from the soil beneath the trees as an indication of biological activity. We found that both summer pruning and trunk girdling caused root death, and soil microbes used the dead roots as food to increase soil microbial respiration and emission of carbon dioxide from the soil. The period of time for root death was short and likely did not have a chronic effect on the root system. This work demonstrated that summer pruning and trunk girdling, while temporarily affecting the root system, does not appear to decrease overall productivity in apple production.
Technical Abstract: The root system of plants derives all its energy from photosynthate translocated from the canopy to the root system. Canopy manipulations that alter either the rate of canopy photosynthesis or the translocation of photosynthate are expected to alter dry matter partitioning to the root system. Field studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of trunk girdling (2008 and 2009) and summer pruning (2009) on root/soil respiration, photochemical efficiency and leaf carbohydrate content. In apple trees, within 3 days of girdling the trunk, root/soil respiration rate increased more than 2X suggesting rapid root die-off and microbial decomposition of the dead root tissue that required 30 days to return to control levels. Photoinhibition (PI) was increased by girdling when crop load was low and PI was not related to leaf carbohydrate levels. Girdling reduced sucrose and sorbitol levels in both years, however, total leaf carbohydrates were not affected by girdling. Summer pruning demonstrated a significant increase in root/soil respiration within 2 weeks of treatment, also suggesting root die-off and microbial decomposition of the tissue. These data demonstrate that common canopy cultural techniques may result in reduced root biomass due to reduced carbon partitioning to the root system that is necessary to maintain a given level of root biomass.

This creamy casserole is always one of the first to go in a buffet line. When I want to indicate serving size, I use sliced cheese squares on the top rather than shredded cheese.—Ferne Carter Chapman, Tacoma, Washington

- 1/4 cup uncooked wild rice
- 1-3/4 cups uncooked long grain rice

Look what I received this week. My master replicas Shock Trooper Helmet. Now Im waiting for my armor and than the work beginns!
Look what I received this week. My master replicas Shock Trooper Helmet. Now Im waiting for my armor and than the work beginns!
Rock it! I am certain that's a first run Shock helmet. You can tell by the thickness of the T-Visor Lens Socket. Later MR runs the T-Visor socket was way to thick. I had to use my Dremel to grind mine down, and re-trim.
nice start , but needs a little weathering!!
good luck with your build!!
I would say it needs a lot of weathering.
Yeah thats right, its too clean. But first I will try the weathering at my armor
It's easyer to do the helmet first...
So, a little update.
The belt arrived today. Now I still need a gun But first I will beginn to paint the armor. Hope to be ready for the Jedicon in April. Keep your fingers cross for that
Scrolling down I totally thought you were wearing that naked...Looks like a great start!
Aren't we all just naked under our clothes!
I would love a commando rig
It looks great! I cant wait to see the progression photos!
Looks like you making a good start on this!
"Arent you a little to small for a ShockTrooper?" XD
Hm, a fem Clone. I'am really interested in which way the Armor robbs the curves
Der Helm schaut aber schonmal gut aus. Von Abnutzsspuren würd Ich wegbleiben und einfach mal als "Glänzer" durchgehen.
Die Rüstungen müssen ja schließlich auch irgendwann mal Neu gewesen sein. XD
Looking good so far...can't wait to see your progress.
I've noticed MR helmets seems to run a little bigger. I can really tell the difference when I compare my Jango to the MR Boba helmet, but I'm sure that suit'll look awesome. Can't wait to see more pics
