Hi everyone,
I am a Tabletop-Player and have painted miniatures for sale for some years. I have always worked with acrylic colors (mostly Vallejo Model and Game Colors) doing that and have now read through the forums and flipped through some Youtube tutorials on painting props. You guys seem to use enamels exclusively to do that. Would you mind telling me why? From my point of view the waterbased acrylics should be far easier to work with and should resist wear and tear as well as enamels when using a hard clear coating followed by matte coat.
Here is an example on a modified 28mm miniature from the Warmachine/Hordes Game of Privateer Press. It's Dawnguard Scyir and I let a sculptor make some Mandalorian helmets, which were then cast. I swapped all heads of an entire army and will paint them up in the Death Watch color scheme. So this helmet is about 3mm high.
Do you have any experience on this?
Also: What kind of masking fluid do you guys use?
I ordered myself an unpainted Bo-Katan Helmet and plan on getting a Jango Helmet to paint it up as a Pre Vizsla helmet just for display purposes.
Thanks for any information on this!

1. To the most of people, including Robert Richey, in the ballroom dancing community, the "a" and "&" means the same thing in Samba: a quarter beat. 2. If you want to count timing in the "½, ½, 1" beat pattern, you might to use QQS. Otherwise, you can confuse others as well as yourself.3. Indeed, in Samba, sometimes people count "1e&a2e&a". It is for the expression of the dance, that is, to make the dance more musical. It, however, only applies for some of figures with Samba Bounce action, not for the Corta Jaca. You can try yourself to see whether this statement is right or not. 4. The two things: dancing the Samba Bounce action and the "1a2" rhythm are not equivalent. When the bounce action is used in a figure, you have to use the "1a2" type of rhythm. However, when you use the "1a2" type of rhythm in Samba, it is not necessary that you dance a figure with the bounce action. 5. I totally agree that we shall not use any technique book as a stone. We all try to understand some principles between the lines in the technique text. Within the principles, figures can be executed differently. One example is the Alemana discussion in the other thread. I have no any problems at all for the various execution methods presented in the thread. On the other hand, it is sad for me to see many dance teachers can't execute school figures properly. I'm not talking about the execution in a high standard, but an intermediate standard. "Not written in stone" can be an excuse for them.6. You're right, Steve. The school figure of the Corta Jaca, according to Lair, contains ten Quicks. I didn't state the whole figure for the reason I would wrote too much if I wanted to make it complete.I think over all this discussion is good. I learn something from this discussion. I hope it is the same for others.

Greece forms an irregular-shaped peninsula in the Mediterranean with two additional large peninsulas projecting from it: the Chalcidice and the Peloponnese. To the north, it has borders with Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria, and to the east it borders Turkey.
The Greek Islands are generally subdivided into two groups, according to location: the Ionian Islands (including Corfu, Cephalonia, and Leucas) west of the mainland and the Aegean Islands (including Euboea, Samos, Chios, Lesbos, and Crete) to the east and south.
North-central Greece, Epirus, and western Macedonia are all mountainous. The main chain of the Pindus Mountains extends from northwest Greece to the Peloponnese. Mount Olympus, rising to (2,909 m), is the highest point in the country.

It's been a long one, and unfortunately it will have to continue a wee bit longer. I'm extremely busy as of late, and in fact the only reason why I am able to get online right now is because I'm tired and procrastinating writing an annotated bibliography for my International Cultural Studies class. Deep breath.
So I just want to say Thank You and I'm so sorry to all of you who have contributed to FSU or another zine in my hands that I have not completed yet, or to those of…Continue

Once upon a time, insurers sat in the power seat when it came to their interactions with policyholders. The insurers understood the magic behind how insurance was sold, how premiums were calculated, and how claims were adjudicated. Those days are gone. In the Age Of The Customer, consumers are changing the rules and who wield the power. Thanks to all things digital, consumers have shifted from being passive sideliners and are willing — and able — to play more active and demanding roles across the insurance business. That means that digital must now be a core underpinning of an insurer's customer experience philosophy, not an endpoint.
Just what are the factors propelling North American insurer agendas this year? For starters, it's about:

Actual Foundry Proofs are cymbals that were created at Meinl's own cymbal foundry in Turkey. These cymbals are the raw ideas that our cymbal team created with the input of our artists and players over the past decade. Some of these cymbal proofs have made it into the catalog while others did not. These cymbals have been stored at our headquarters in Germany for several years. Recently Meinl decided to release these raw creations to the public. Many of these instruments have hand written notes from the foundry on them. These cymbals have been given a laser engraved stamp and serial number for record keeping purposes only. The printed ink logos were not added in order to preserve the authenticity of the foundry.

I am a single woman (53) and have been happily teaching at a US community college for 10 years. Before that I taught for 10 years in Mexico. I have a BA in English, a MA in TESL, and am bilingual English/Spanish. I am toying with the never-before-heard-of idea of making decent money, which I'm not doing in the US.
Can single women teach in a good-paying job in the middle east?

Next I happen to have the G17 and a P99.
I would have to say on my guns the G17 has less but not by much. Both guns have very tame recoil and are very accurate.
Probably the best thing for you to do is find a gun store with a range in it that will rent them.
FYI. Just in case you have not see the prices. New P99s are starting at 700 in most places and the Glocks are in the low 500s or upper 400s you might want to wait if you decide on the Glock. Jan 2010 Glock is releasing the Gen4 Glock. Read about them here
Happy hunting.

Blue Monday
August 1st, 2011
Blue has been one of the colours that featured heavily in the spring/summer collections this year and will continue to be one of the trends forecasted for autumn/winter. Going into winter you will see lots of intense blues and some vibrant turquoises.
To make a start in introducing some gorgeous blues to your lingerie drawer and to make sure your Mondays are always blue from now on, read on…
The Melody Balconette Bra by Panache in electric blue has received rave reviews, it comes in an absolutely gorgeous shade of blue, it is very soft and comfortable and we've been told it gives fantastic shape, whilst still being super supportive.
We are still loving the Thrill Me Bra by Curvy Kate, here at the Bravissimo office, it has that sexy burlesque feel, it is lightly padded and creates fantastic cleavage and shape and it fits like a dream. It is available in a lovely silky fabric, in azure and plum.
The Verity Bra by Pureda in cobalt is a really sophisticated and sexy bra. It is an underwired balconette bra and is a contrast of sheer fabric and pretty embroidery, but is still incredibly supportive and very flattering, again this bra has got lots of major fans.
Check out more of our gorgeous blue hues in our lingerie collection at Bravissimo.com or pop into one of our stores and ask the sales advisor to point you in the right direction.

The Hollywood activist formula strikes again
posted at 10:10 am on December 16, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
My friend Phelim McAleer was never going to be a fan of the movie Promised Land. The film, financed in significant part by money from the United Arab Emirates, takes aim at the American natural-gas industry, and Phelim himself challenged cast members Matt Damon and John Krasinski over the conflict of interest inherent in that arrangement. The New York Post published Phelim's review of the movie, which is as negative as you'd expect. But Phelim points out something specific about Hollywood's activist-didactic formula that is so overused and cliched that one would expect it to have become almost satire, if Hollywood wasn't so deadly dull and full of its own assumed moral superiority:
You can see this in Steve Butler, the character Damon plays. At the film's start, he's intelligent and witty; Steve knows people and knows his business. He has all the answers as he goes from home to home, reassuring people looking to lease their land for fracking — a process that removes oil and gas from previously-inaccessible rock.
But then, on his last job before he takes a big promotion, he comes up against Krasinski's character, environmentalist Dustin Noble. Noble produces wild stories of farms polluted and destroyed from natural-gas drilling and warns the locals that this will happen to them if they let the gas company into their area.
This is when "Promised Land" starts to falter. Suddenly, Steve transforms from someone who's seen and done it all in the gas-drilling world into a stammering fool who can't come up with a decent sentence in defense of his industry.
Damon's character should say that environmental activists have been caught time after time lying and exaggerating about fracking — often as part of multimillion-dollar lawsuits. He should point out that no peer-reviewed scientific study has ever shown that fracking contaminates water.
But no, half way through the film, when any real drilling hand would have plenty of answers, Steve suddenly turns into a stammering, inarticulate fool. The character becomes unrecognizable.
This inexplicable change sucks the life out of "Promised Land."
It doesn't make sense in the movie — but it's understandable when you realize that, in real life, Damon and Krasinski are anti-fracking ideologues. Damon spoke out publicly against the process some time ago; Krasinski has now done a long anti-fracking rant on David Letterman's show.
They probably don't know the arguments Steve should make; they certainly don't want to hear them, nor could they really allow any criticism of the environmental movement in the film, since it would undermine their own ideology.
How many times have we seen this formula in Hollywood films? Pretty much every time Hollywood wants us to pay $10 a head for their social/political/economic lecture series. These aren't works of cinematic art; they're the equivalent to the cheap college psychodramas put on by campus activist groups, only with a lot more money behind them, and they're just as tiresome and vapid.
I watched Wreck-It Ralph last night with my granddaughters and had a great time. I doubt that I'll even bother with Promised Land when it comes to the free movie channels on my cable system.

Arsenal will have the backing of a full complement of 4,200 travelling fans for their FA Cup fifth-round tie at Sunderland on Saturday.
Away supporters have taken up the Club's £5 return travel offer and there will be 18 coaches making the trip to the Stadium of Light.
Thousands more will be making the trip independently, defying the fact there is no public transport available for the journey back to London after the game.
Arsenal Ticketing and Services Director Ivan Worsell said: "Once again we have had a tremendous response from our travelling fans and are delighted we will have a full contingent of away support for the game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Well, I tried to rejoin Tumblr, only it seems that two freaking times now I find a post I like I later learn the person who created the post was bullied off of the site with death threats from people who disagreed.
Maybe it's my depression and anxiety but I can't handle that kind of mess.
I like Onrpg, by the way.
You guys don't threaten to kill me if you disagree, and if it gets out of line in hostility then the thread is locked and et cetera.
It's controlled chaos I guess.
Do sites like Tumblr end up too hostile sounding simply because they have so many people?
What about gaming communities?
Maple Story isn't exactly known for friendliness.
Have you ever turned away from a community online and in games and the like, nothing bad even happening to you, but you just don't feel comfortable there?

Yay glad you're joining! I'm giving up diffusing too. I'm so excited we have so many people joining. I'm already in bed now or i would, but tomorrow I'm posting my befores. Can't wait to compare to the afterrr. And yes i love how that looks, my hair won't hold that style bit it is super cute.I'd like to join this challenge too! I haven't heat styled other than occasionally diffusing in a while, but I'm going to stop that completely as well. I've noticed that the best way to speed up my drying time is by plopping. It really helps pull the extra water out of my hair while encouraging my curls and avoiding frizz. I plop right out of the shower and then finish getting ready; I take it out before I leave, but I know some people leave it in until they get to work. It won't dry your hair completely, but it does keep it from dripping all over you. Some people with shorter hair have found that plopping does not work for them, as it smashes the curls funny; in that case, I would suggest using a non-terry towel (flour sack, cotton t-shirt, micro fiber) to gently squeeze the extra water out. As far as styles, I like the suggestions of braids and buns. One of my favorite styles (especially for second day hair) is to braid the front section of my hair then pull it all into a curly side ponytail.

New blogs pop up every day, but not all of them from Cayman Islands bonefish guides. And so far the posts on Flats Walker look solid.
From an account of his first fly experience:
I'm standing on the northeastern-most tip of the peninsula where I grew up and as I look out over the flats I'm facing north toward Cuba and Key West beyond…
Man, it's hard to cast when you're chest deep in water and your line is flowing away in a huge loop. I only hit myself with the fly once (square in the back of the head), and yes, it hurt, but I didn't hook myself…
From a tarpon account:
This has to be a mistake; you should never have come. These are extra-large fish, rare giants. Any second now you're partner will say, get your fly out of there, those fish are too big! But the fly lands and you remember not to strip until the fish get close (which is miraculous since you would be hard pressed to remember your name if someone were to pick this particularly unfortunate moment to ask). Then the unbelievable happens: the lead fish puts on the brakes and slowly turns, giving the fly a wide birth. The rest of them follow, scarcely giving your precious fly so much as a glance.
Go check it out.

Thanks for helping us sort this video!
Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
I despair at the poor spelling and grammar displayed on this site. At least I get off before reading the comments, so I know each orgasm has a predictable post-disappointment waiting. I know the US has a poor educational system and all, but at what point does the onus fall on each person to rise out of a state of illiteracy? If that doesn't work, how about this, I haven't had a problem getting pussy since I began attending and subsequently graduated college. That begs a follow up statistic: how does literacy affect ones chances of getting laid? You may be thinking, "Hold up, if she's getting so much pussy why is she watching porn?" Well, that's because there are still hours in the day, and I have a particularly high sex drive; which my girlfriend is happy to humor when she's not working or at school. Anyways folks, let's at least try to not spell like we're 4th graders with dyslexia, ok? Thanks. (Not that there's anything wrong with 4th graders with dyslexia.)

Dear Cast of Thousands:
Normally you speak far enough over my head that I just sit back and absorb information at the feet of the Masters. Occasionally, I admit, I fall into an information-overload-induced coma – fortunately not while driving. Your episode involving the Wired article on rabies, however, fell well under my head as I had actually (and accidentally) read it the week before. I really wish that you had read the article more carefully because you stumbled over a number of important points.
There may have been some antivirals involved but I believe that the article mentioned the ketamine was the primary coma-inducing agent and was also believed to exhibit some anti-viral properties. I may have that a little off but it's close.
More importantly, the coma was induced because of the observation that most of the neural damage was caused by over-stimulation of the neurons which, in turn, causes neural death. I believe that it is called excito-toxicity. The drugs used to generate the coma were chosen for their ability to decrease neural activity. The idea was to reduce neural activity long enough to allow the neurons to survive until the immune response kicked in.
Most importantly and related to the second point, the girl was not fine afterwards. She has had to go through months of physio-therapy just to be able to walk and talk again. A year afterward she is functioning well but will probably never be 100%. The coma-therapy probably did reduce neural death but it didn't eliminate it. For this type of therapy to be more effective in the future and, thus, reduce recovery time (and, let's face it, death), better neural receptor agonist will have to be selected, ones that more specifically target the excito-toxicity that rabies induces.
Anyway, you probably received a great many e-mails on the subject but, just in case this one proved helpful in some way, I thought that I had better send it. Thanks to all of you for the podcast and I look forward to the next 100.

I heard a recent TWIV episode this week in which it was mentioned that about twenty cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease are confirmed in Canada per year. Including my 1 1/2 year old son's case, I am aware of five cases affecting the very young that occurred in Houston, TX in May 2012. There have likely been many more cases in the area. To reduce the spread of this disease, it is important that parents isolate their children for two full weeks after they are back to feeling normal. My son, Holden, did not seem to be experiencing discomfort while eating but very cold fluids did help his appetite.
BTW, I have been listening to your show for a few weeks now on my Android phone using DoubleTwist Pro paired to Bluetooth headphones. I listen while playing with my son in the water for about an hour shortly before his bed time. Both my son and his several week old sister were home births facilitated by the well known nurse midwife Jackie Griggs.
It is too bad that the U.S. insurance companies will not cover what is the standard method for child birth in the Nordic countries. Over 1/3 of all U.S. hospital births result in Cesarean births with over 50% of induced hospital births resulting in Cesareans. In contrast, over 98% of all home births involving midwives do not require transport to a hospital. The U.S. lags behind many of the most prosperous countries in the world in limiting infant mortality rates and our medical system that incorporates some of the worst aspects of capitalist and socialist systems is a factor in the issue.
Enough ranting – please keep making science entertaining!

I shall begin, my friends, with the definition of a pseudoscience. A pseudoscience consists of a nomenclature, with a self-adjusting arrangement, by which all positive evidence, or such as favors its doctrines, is admitted, and all negative evidence, or such as tells against it, is excluded. It is invariably connected with some lucrative practical application. Its professors and practitioners are usually shrewd people; they are very serious with the public, but wink and laugh a good deal among themselves. The believing multitude consists of women of both sexes, feeble-minded inquirers, poetical optimists, people who always get cheated in buying horses, philanthropists who insist on hurrying up the millennium, and others of this class, with here and there a clergyman, less frequently a lawyer, very rarely a physician, and almost never a horse-jockey or a member of the detective police.

Dear TWiV Team,
Love your show. Keep up the great work. I was just listening to episode 192 and would like to second the request for a bioinformatics 101-type episode. You might consider getting someone(s) from the Broad Institute, specifically the Viral Genomics group on the show. (I'd highly recommend Matt Henn, though he appears to have just left his position as Director of Viral Genomics at the Broad, which might rule him out. I saw a talk by him and really enjoyed it; he's a microbiology guy, and thus more understandable than some bioinformatics types.) I think that the Institute is a very neat model for scientific collaboration, particularly between more traditional scientists and computer geeks. I'd love to hear a discussion about how the Broad is set up, its advantages and disadvantages, etc as well as to get insight on the great bioinformatics work they do.

Hi Guys,
My name is Greg, I'm an undergraduate at the University of Manchester, I'm a big fan of your Podcasts and over the last few months I have set up one of my own – The Life Sciences Podcast, it covers a range of things biological/medical related. As my podcast is in association with my University they've asked me to get some listener feedback, I was wondering if you've ever carried out a listener survey? Or have any advice on getting useful feedback from listeners?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Different animal species have different kinds of placenta (and different levels of interaction of fetal-maternal tissue/blood). Are trophoblast cells from other species also resistant to viral infection? Can the conditioned medium of human trophoblast cells interfere with animal viruses infection of human cells (or human viruses infection of animal cells)?
[answer from Carolyn Coyne]
We have never directly tested non-human placentas for their infectivity or ability to transmit viral resistant to recipient cells (via conditioned medium). Presumably, many would have a similar mechanism(s) of resistance to those that we study in the human placenta. The cluster of placental-specific microRNAs that we have been studying (and which confer viral resistance) are specific to primates, but it is very possible (and perhaps likely) that other animals have specific miRNAs with similar functions. I will note that in vivo, the mouse placenta seems to be rather impermeable to most viruses (studies on mCMV rely on microinjection of the virus directly into the placenta), but there are not many studies that have investigated this question specifically.
In terms of animal viruses, we have not specifically tested these. However, given that the mechanism of viral resistance induced in recipient cells seems to be rather non-specific and far-reaching (autophagy primarily, but perhaps others), I would anticipate that many viruses of animal origin would also be susceptible to the antiviral effects of the placental conditioned medium.

Greetings from North Carolina,
I am a PhD student studying Norovirus in the Food Science department at NC State University. Norovirus as you probably know is a difficult virus to research in that there is no culture system available for it. I recently read a paper from a group at Baylor describing a new way to culture enteric viruses. The system works by creating a lab grown "intestinal epithelium" from stem cells. The paper shows that the concept works for Rotavirus. Perhaps this is a first step towards a functioning Norovirus culture system? I thought perhaps you would enjoy the read and maybe entertain the idea of discussing this on a future episode.

text: The general public, when watching skaters nowadays, may not so clearly understand which skater is overall better than another. COP is complicated enough that a comparison of any two skaters may lead to a long discussion rather than a quick assessment. Nevertheless, people on this board do have a good feel for what makes one skater better than another and may be able to explain it clearly and succinctly. So let's see how we do with a comparison of the following two skaters: Alena Leonova and Rachael Flatt. Who do you consider a better skater and why? (Note: In answering this question, do not restrict yourself to the last World Championships but consider the way these two women have skated overall over the last two years.)

First of all- sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I can't seem to find any sort of 'contact us' or 'complaint' links anywhere[another small inconvenience I find with this site]. Anyways:
I signed up to this forum specifically for the Free Item Key for Fallen Earth which it offered and after going through the trouble of signing up and going through all the steps, when I entered my info in the final step at http://mmohuts.com/giveaways/fallen-earth-item-giveaway all I got was a message saying "Hey kirlog! Your Item Key is" followed by nothing[I even checked the source code to make sure it wasn't just a case of undisplayed text].
This seems like a decent forum, and I wouldn't mind staying, but FE has it's own forum I'm already a part of and I was promised a free gift for joining this one. Regardless of how small, it's the principal that matters, so if this site doesn't hold up it's end of the bargain I feel it's necessary to delete my account and warn others via consumer alert sites of the false advertisements and giveaways offered here. I think it said something about the deal was available 'while supplies last', but I assumed that since the page still existed that meant the supply did as well. Even if that's the case there is still no excuse for continuing to offer it[I use to program sites, so I know it may take some effort on your part to set it up so that the offer/page automatically expires once the stock is depleted, but I also know it's a fraction of the work it must have taken to write the script for the offer page alone, none-the-less the functions it [is supposed to] perform.] Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has brought your attention to this matter, so even without automation there is no excuse for you not having already removed the offer manually[select the HTML/java/CSS link/whatever and hit 'DEL'].
Now I've just gone through more effort writing this than it would have for you to have taken down said offer, and I've done so for 2 reasons:
1, as I said, it's a matter of principal- I fulfilled my half of the bargain, and I expect you to fulfill yours[or if not possible, at least apologize, remove the expired advertisement, and maybe offer some other sort of compensation[if this sounds like it's coming from someone who expects cust**** satisfaction, no matter how large or how small, it is, as I run my own onlline store and have learned the hard way that it is important to do your best to please EVERY cust****[some there is no leasing, I know, and I'm being harsh but I don't feel I'm asking anything unreasonable]. And also, yes, I AM your cust****- you may have only made a few cents off me so far from viewing your ads, but you have,and will continue to do so if you respond reasonably. This, after all, is how you are able to get gaming companies to allow you to offer free in-game items and such, but if your response[or lack of response] gives me reason to believe that this is exactly why you don't remove expired offers, I most definitely will be spamming consumer alert sites[and companies-like GamersFirst[which created FE] with notices of such disreputable business practices.I truly hope this is not the case.
And 2, also as said: this looks like a pretty decent forum and I wouldn't mind remaining a part of it[or have to go through the trouble of defaming it over something like this, but I run my business by strict ethics, and expect the same from others.]
Please respond soon, and I sincerely hope we can work this out easily enough.
-Richard Nelson

A Kansas City Star editorial says convenience for local fliers is not a compelling reason for the status quo at KCI. Several influential people are still discussing critical questions in this debate.
The Kansas Supreme Court is expected to rule on a case involving school finance. The central question is whether spending authorized by the legislature meets the constitutional criterion of "suitable provision for education." There's concern that the court will order more money and the legislature/governor will refuse to comply.
In a letter published by the Kansas City Star, Missouri Education Commissioner Chris Nicastro says she's open to ideas about improving the local district and forecasts the possibility of provisional accreditation by summer. The commissioner defends ordering a controversial study of the district, but says the selection process could have been handled better. Nicastro concludes her note by asking Kansas Citians to "join the conversation."
Prominent political scientist Larry Sabato (U of Va.) has a remarkable track record in forecasting election outcomes at both the federal and state levels. Using three criteria, he claims 2014–as of now–looks like a banner year for Republicans with the GOP poised to win both Houses of Congress.

text: I totally agree that loyalty should not be expected both ways. That Orlando player was an example of loyalty gone wrong. I also agree that it was stupid for the Pistons to try to be more like Phoenix back in 05-07. - A team that never made it past the 2nd round. But I don't think San Antonio would have been much without Duncan and Parker. They have been the 2 consistant factors throughout and in watching them intensly durning the playoffs I see its still the case. If both have bad games - they lose. The Pistons never had the luck San Antonio had in finding 2 gems in the draft who went on to play long healty careers. We can't buy a friggen break in the lottery and the one year they were in they drew a Tim Duncan.

Structures can do more than they do now. It's the simple but powerful premise behind colocated systems—such as PV panels that double as noise buffers or highway bridges that carry utility pipes—which employ integrated sustainable strategies, including often-overlooked passive strategies. The century-old concept of the building-as-total-design can be carried out with more systems to achieve better energy conservation and productivity. It's an idea that has been kept in play by the AIA's 2030 Challenge, which also calls for greater density in our cities. It's also an idea that has gained considerable ground already outside of the United States.
One way of thinking about colocation is "dense programming," or the integration of multiple, often nontraditional functions into architecture: structures that transcend property boundaries and zoning. In this way, architecture takes on the characteristics of infrastructure, where opportunities for ganging up systems and functions are explored—usually out of necessity and for cost considerations.
At first glance, Atelier Bow-Wow's 2001 book, Made in Tokyo, doesn't seem very serious at all in its case studies: park-on-park (a park elevated above a parking lot), highway department store, double-layer petrol-station-and-office building. But these systems reveal the logic of colocation in one of the world's densest and most technologically advanced cities. The more you read it, the more it starts to make sense for dispersed cities that may be trying to "shrink," such as Detroit. Though Atelier Bow-Wow's decade-old study omits PVs and other green systems, the firm conforms to a more stripped-down definition of sustainability through density and multitasking.
China's goal of 400 new cities by 2020 presents another vision of colocation's potential. Local governments in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are leading efforts to improve the sustainability quotient of fast-paced development. Toward this end, the Beijing-based Dynamic City Foundation has been investigating strategies of colocation that mix infrastructure with architecture while incorporating renewable systems and materials—such as an elevated rail system that incorporates urban farms, PV arrays, wind turbines, water-filtration systems, and sewage-treatment power generation. "Dense concentrations within Beijing are not to be regarded as the problem but as the solution," says Neville Mars, director of Dynamic City Foundation. Its studies highlight how the logic of so-called "dynamic density" makes cities more sustainable and livable.
Brazil's favelas offer a more ad hoc approach to colocation. By grafting onto already dense environments, they create new systems that generate and conserve resources and power—one of Brazil's key strategies for integrating the informal sector into the formal economy. The existing density presents opportunities for sustainable systems and ways of living that would be more difficult to realize in dispersed conditions such as suburbs.
The key to these favelas, and colocation in general, is to combine programmatic density, different systems, and advanced materials. Materials do not by themselves promote sustainability. They must be integrated with programmatic density of the sort seen in the high-tech Copenhagen energy plant and ski slope designed by Bjarke Ingels. The structure creates energy by incinerating waste while also functioning as a ski slope. It also reminds people of the city's carbon footprint by emitting a 30-meter smoke ring whenever a ton of CO2 is released.
Rather than returning CO2, there is also the potential of returning energy to the grid, or at least aiming toward being more energy self-sustaining. One example is the Hearst Tower in New York City, whose builders not only conserved materials during construction, but whose architects created an opportunity for collected rainwater to filter into heating and cooling tubes as well as to irrigate plants.
Colocation incorporates green technology and materials while addressing issues of urban form and density, too.
"Integrating building systems with architectural features or building enclosures can be a useful way for architects to show how our designs can also improve the functional benefit of a system," says William Worthen, AIA, LEED AP, director and resource architect for sustainability at the AIA. "Fritted low-E glass that automates shade controls with return air slots; solar-panel patterns on skylights that generate power and reduce heat gain; wind turbines integrated into building façades; living walls and green roofs creating habitat and reducing both storm runoff and the need for air conditioning inside the building; bioswales that filter parking-lot runoff, serve as landscape features, and eliminate the need for expensive and complex stormwater catchment systems; and raised floors systems allowing for HVAC supply each occupant can control and easy access for cabling—they all fit into the category of colocated or multipurposed materials and represent integrated, cost-effective design strategies."
We are in the midst of what Worthen calls "an evolution to high-performance design, which means we all need to start thinking of green as normal." Sustainability is evolving beyond the advocacy model of organizations such as the USGBC and Architecture 2030 to a governance model based on high-performance codes such as CalGreen and next year's International Green Construction Code, which is slated for a March launch.
"Architects are complex problem-solvers," Worthen says."We need to stop trying to just be green or get credits, but instead take the time to understand how the architecture—not just its building systems—can directly benefit and improve a building's long-term performance, human health, and best value—not just first cost."

text: I absolutely agree. Having fun is what it's all about. It's a free league with no prizes. Just a little friendly competition amongst friends. I was in a fantasy baseball league this year in which I finished dead last out of 12 teams. About half the league (the bottom half) quit about half way through the season. So I was losing to guys that hadn't set their lineups in months. Yet I still played out the season to the very last day. I set my roster every day and picked up FAs when I felt that they were an upgrade to my team. I had 0% chance of catching any of the playoff teams for the final month of the season. But I had fun and like I said, I tried until the very last day. At the end of the season, the commissioner of the league PM'd me and said that I could be in any league that he ever had because I never gave up and I played fair.

For hundreds of years the apes have served as funhouse mirrors for what the human species once was, or perhaps might have been had evolution taken a different course. Among the four species of great apes, the chimpanzees have received the lion's share of attention as models of early humanity. Until the 1960s, however, when Jane Goodall first set out for Tanzania, we didn't know much about wild chimpanzees. What Goodall found shocked us: Chimpanzees were not only extremely clever, they also had complex societies and adept tool-using abilities, and they loved raw meat. In the decades that followed, field researchers observed other "human qualities" in wild chimpanzees: intercommunity warfare and lethal territorial aggression, cooperative hunting for other mammals (with the spoils of the hunt ritually shared and used as the bargaining chips of political and sexual barter), and the manufacture and use of tools made of plant products and, at some sites, of stone! These studies turned our view of chimpanzees (and of ourselves) on its head.
That chimpanzees are not vegetarian pacifists came as a surprise in anthropological circles when Goodall first reported the chimps' omnivorous appetites. Some scholars even alleged that the lethal aggression seen during encounters between neighboring social groups was aberrant behavior, occurring only in animals disturbed by human contact. But as the field data accumulated it became clear that the brutal side of chimpanzees is quite real. Males strive to ascend a rigid dominance hierarchy and on reaching high rank wield their political power in brutal ways. Sexual coercion and beating of females who do not submit to male desires are routine. Males patrol the perimeter of their territory, attacking and sometimes murdering their unwary neighbors. Chimpanzees at two study sites in Tanzania (Gombe National Park and Mahale National Park) were observed to fission into two separate communities, after which the larger community in each case systematically exterminated the smaller community. Such "warfare" has been seen in only two primate species, humans and chimpanzees.
Chimpanzees are also efficient and ruthless predators, consuming hundreds of prey animals including monkeys, antelope and wild pigs. Their attacks on their favorite prey, the red colobus monkey, are brutal and dramatic. The hunts often involve hand-to-hand combat between a chimp and a monkey, a match that is usually won by the chimp. Small-bodied juveniles are killed by a bite to the neck, whereas adult monkeys are thrashed against the ground or a tree limb. The meat is distributed in Machiavellian fashion by high-ranking males who share with allies and kin, but withhold the prize from rivals. They also use meat to entice ovulating females to mate with them—an orgy of meat eating and sex straight out of Tom Jones.
Since the mid-1980s, the closely related, but only recently studied, bonobo has come to serve as an evolutionary counterpoint to the chimpanzee. They may look very much like chimpanzees—they were once called pygmy chimpanzees—but bonobos appear to be an ape of a different character. Studies of bonobos reveal a society molded by cooperation, alliance formation and recreational sex "as social communication." As primatologist Frans de Waal of Emory University puts it, "...[T]he high points of bonobo intellectual life are found not in cooperative hunting or strategies to achieve dominance but in conflict resolution and sensitivity to others."
Female bonobos band together in coalitions to dominate males, avoiding the sort of physical domination and sexual coercion that male chimpanzees routinely inflict on their females. Such female coalitions are nearly unknown among chimpanzees, where the male bonds are the cause and consequence of everything from communal hunting of small game to the fierce defense of their territorial borders.
Then there is the sex. Bonobos are often said to be, more than anything else, the sexy ape. They mate more often, in more positions and with more recreational than procreational intent than any mammal other than Homo sapiens. Copulation rates recorded by de Waal and Parish for captive bonobos in the San Diego Zoo and at the Yerkes Regional Primate Center in Atlanta are sky-high compared with such activities among wild chimpanzees. Bonobos also engage in female-female pairings, in which two females rub their genital swellings together ("GG rubbing" in the lexicon of bonobo researchers) to ease tensions between individuals. Male bonobos will also engage in same-sex genital rubbing. Such same-sex bonding is absent in chimpanzee society.
Relative to chimpanzees, bonobo society appears to be sex oriented and "less dominated" by males. As de Waal states, "The chimpanzee resolves sexual issues with power; the bonobo resolves power issues with sex."
An even more striking difference between female chimpanzees and bonobos is said to link the bonobos more closely to the human family tree. The females of nearly all mammalian species are reproductively active only during a constricted time period surrounding ovulation. This estrus period characterizes all of the higher primates, except human beings. Females of our species, although more likely to conceive around the time of ovulation, are freed from the bonds of a strictly defined period of "heat." The result is that sex serves not only for procreation, but also as a mechanism of social communication and reinforcement of long-term pair bonds.
Bonobo females are often said to be released from the bonds of estrus because they maintain their sexual swellings for a much longer portion of their menstrual cycles than chimpanzees do and therefore mate throughout much of the cycle. Since female apes of either species show little interest in mating except when they are swollen, this translates into more sex for the bonobos. Being "released from estrus," bonobos have come to use sex as much for communicating with males as for conceiving offspring, as in our own species.
In war as well as in romance, bonobos and chimpanzees appear to be strikingly different. When two bonobo communities meet at a range boundary at Wamba, a research site in the lowland rain forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, bonobo researcher Takayoshi Kano observed that not only is there no lethal aggression as sometimes occurs in chimps, there actually may be socializing and sex between females and the enemy community's males.
When it comes to hunting and meat eating, we see a final striking contrast between bonobos and chimps. Bonobos catch monkeys in their rainforest habitat almost as well as chimpanzees do, but they don't seem to know what to do with them. Bonobos capture baby monkeys and then use them as dolls or playthings for hours, only to release the monkey unharmed (though worse for the wear) when they become bored with them. It's as if the protein and fat value of the prey hasn't dawned on their kinder, gentler nature.
How real are these distinctions between chimpanzees and bonobos? Captive bonobos are indeed hypersexual, far exceeding their chimpanzee kin in both the quantity and quality of their sexual couplings, but whether this accurately reflects the behavior of wild bonobos is another question. Many of the stark behavioral contrasts are based on comparisons between wild chimpanzees and captive bonobos. Most of the available bonobo data come from captive groups in the San Diego Zoo and at Yerkes. Animals in captive settings are known for their tendency to display greater frequencies of various social behaviors compared to their wild counterparts. There is often not much else to do in captivity, where animals have no need to spend their day foraging for food. Their behavior patterns do not necessarily reflect those that evolved for living in an African forest.
So we should more appropriately turn to studies of wild bonobo populations. Although much less studied than chimps, we know about naturalistic patterns of bonobos from two long-term study sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Wamba, the site directed by Kano, and Lomako, which has been occupied by two separate research teams from the United States and Germany.
The field data show that in two important respects, female bonobos are not more sexual than their chimpanzee counterparts. First, there is no difference in frequency of copulations when wild bonobos from Wamba are compared with wild chimps at either Tanzanian site, Gombe or Mahale. Second, the idea that bonobo females are released from estrus results from data on the duration of sexual swelling taken mainly from animals at Yerkes, where they maintain their sexual swelling for 23 days, nearly half of their 49-day cycle (in captivity). This dwarfs the receptive period of wild female chimpanzees from Gombe, who swell for about 13 days of their 36-day cycle. The equation changes if we consider wild bonobos rather than captive specimens, whose excellent nutrition may produce earlier menarche and ratcheted-up reproductive cycling. Bonobos from Wamba in the Congo are swollen for only 13 days of a 33-day cycle, numbers that are much closer to those of wild chimpanzees. A recent report about bonobos in the Antwerp Zoo shows that even in captivity, bonobos do not necessarily have longer swelling durations than chimpanzees. The supposed release from estrus that is said to characterize bonobos has been overstated because the data are based on captive animals.
Other aspects of bonobo behavior bear a second look as well. Female bonobos, it is true, are often dominant to males, but this domination occurs in only two settings, when either food or sex is involved. A male often gets sex by acceding to a female's desire to feed and so might be thought of as strategically submissive in select situations. Cleverness through subordination is certainly not unknown in other primate societies.
And are bonobos entirely peace-loving? About half of all the intercommunity encounters seen by Kano's team involved aggression of some sort. The difference between chimpanzee aggression and bonobo aggression is that bonobo attacks and injuries are often directed by females at males, rather than the reverse as in chimpanzees. There are even reports from zoos of female bonobos brutalizing a male so badly that his penis was severed.
Meat eating, while certainly less common among bonobos than among chimpanzees, may be under reported because bonobos are so little studied. Barbara Fruth and Gottfried Hohmann of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have observed extensive meat eating and meat sharing by bonobos at Lomako, but most "chimp-ologists" still refer to the bonobo as the "vegetarian" great ape.
In recent years, some anthropologists have placed human beings at an evolutionary crossroads. One path leads to a chimpanzee-like world of male brutality and violence, where might makes right, and subordinates must grovel to avoid a beating. The other path leads to a kinder, gentler vision of humanity, one in which violence is not strength, and compassionate bonding is not weakness. It's not Camelot; it's bonobo society. This starkly black-and-white view of the two apes has become well entrenched in the public mind and in the mind's eye of many behavioral scientists. Sexy apes versus brutal ones represents a dichotomy that appeals to us—our possible evolutionary paths laid out in plain and simple terms.
The popular view, however, may have more to do with ideology than science. There is currently a trendy caricature of the human male and female as being so distinct from one another as to be from different planets—"men are from Mars" and "women are from Venus," the saying goes. Such notions are fine in a pop-culture setting, but do they serve us well in science? Are we projecting such simple conceptions a little bit too much on our primate cousins?
It wouldn't be the first time that idealized notions of ourselves have influenced the interpretation of data among evolutionary biologists. In the 1960s, the brotherhood of predominantly male anthropologists foisted "Man the Hunter" on students and the public alike, arguing that the male role of bringing home the bacon accounted for the rapid expansion of the human brain in hominid evolution. It wasn't until several years later that female anthropologists weighed in with the reminder that something had to account for expansion of women's brains in the course of our species' evolution. Such lessons remind us that we would do well to consider how our depictions of primate societies may become intertwined with our own political views.

'Fraser immediately waved off the goal, to the anger of the four Sabres celebrating. He went to the phone for a conference with Toronto, presumably to review whether the puck was in before the net moved. It was, but it didn't matter. Fraser announced an cross-checking penalty on Gaustad, nullifying the tally. Ruff was incensed. The coach, who usually stands behind the players, hopped in front of them to plead his case (and then some). Again, it didn't matter. The Canucks were given a two-man advantage.'

Dos and Don'ts
Greetings: Smile please and don't be afraid of the trademark Petersburg sternness—it's easily overcome. Try out a few words in Russian, it can bring results.
Walking: Walk when you can, in fact be prepared for long walks. St. Petersburg is a city ripe for exploring on foot; the straight streets are dissected by waterways so it's hard to get lost.
Attire: Dress up and you'll fit in anywhere in the city, especially when heading out to a concert, restaurant, or the theater.
Panhandlers: Resist the urge to give money, food, or other items to the children and adults who beg for handouts throughout the city, especially in public parks. One good deed could result in your being hounded by a horde of beggars or relieved of your wallet by professional pickpockets.
Tipping: Tip 10-15 percent—depending on service—at mid-range and upscale restaurants. Taxi drivers receive a flat free agreed upon in advance, so no need to tip.
Manhole Covers: Stay alert when walking or driving for missing or dislodged drain covers. The city is notorious for its ill-fitting and absent municipal drain coverings, so it's wise to avoid stepping on a cover or grate even if it appears to be secure.
Phrase Book
Zdravstvuyte: Hello. Pronounced ZDRA-stvooy-tyeh

The Old Marine
Did you hear the one about the old Marine veteran who asked the Commandant to return him to active duty and send him to Iraq?
Of course the Commandant refused, and told the old Marine he had served his time in combat and should relax and enjoy his golden years.
The 'ole Gunny wasn't at all pleased, so he wrote the Secretary of the Navy with the same request. Back came the reply for him to enjoy his golden years, because Iraq was a young Marine's war and there was no place for him.
That really ticked him off, so he wrote his congressman a long, heart wrenching letter explaining in great detail just why he felt he should be returned to active duty.
Back came the reply almost word for word, the same as the SecNav response.......
The 'ole Gunny was livid. He went down to the beach in Norfolk, VA and bought a rowboat, and vowing to get to Iraq one way or the other, he set out rowing his boat and singing the Marine Hymn...." From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli " ........... and off he rowed for Iraq.
Saint Peter had been watching this grizzled 'ole Gunny all the while, and was at first amused by it all but had grown increasingly concerned as the Gunny displayed his commitment to his objective. Saint Peter fina lly turned to God for advice on how to deal with this Gung Ho Gunny.
After hearing the saga unfold, God advised Saint Peter to be merciful and take the Gunny's brain, since that was the center of thought, and he would simply abandon the idea about getting to Iraq.
Now, having taken God's advice and removing the Gunny's brain, St. Peter observed little if any change in the Gunny's behavior. He continued to row his boat and sing at the top of his voice: "From the Halls of Montezuma to the s hores of Tripoli , we will ".......
A little frustrated at the lack of results of his efforts, St. Peter turned again to his Go d and asked, "Now what?"
God said, "Well OK, take his heart, because not even a Marine can function without a heart. So, that should end it."
But when St. Peter had completed his task, and removed the Gunny's heart, he was again amazed that little if any change could be observed in the Gunny's behavior as he continued to row his boat and sing: "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we will fight our country's battles...." at-the-top-of-his-voice.
Once again, St. Peter asked God for assistance with this unusual situation for which there seemed to be no solution.
This time God responded by suggesting that St. Peter should remove the Marine's testicles, since it's a well known fact that Marines can't function without their testicles. Otherwise, what would be the reason for Marines having the world wide reputation of having the balls to do the impossible?
Convinced this was the answer, St. Peter went to work and removed the 'ole Gunny's balls.
Again, St. Peter observed the Marine, this time with his balls, brains and heart removed, rowing in a never ending circle singing:
"Off we go into the wild blue yonder...."
buying up all the guns and ammo i can just to PISS OFF the douche bag liberals
Heh-heh-heh! Yes!
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
no balls, brain or heart and now he is singing the air force song hmmmmm
speaking of marines and boats. does anyone remember the pictures of the marines landing at danang or na trang, rvn beach in full combat gear and all the young vietnamese girls there giving them flowers? af guys laying on the beach taking in the sun. i think it was around 1965...
Yeah, I remember that pic....armed with M-14s

|An Irish man walks out of a bar.
|Mizu Kuma
|A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey!!!!! He orders a drink, and while he's drinking, the monkey jumps all over the place, eating everything behind the bar!!!!! Then the monkey jumps on to the pool table and swallows a billiard ball and the bartender screams at the guy, "Your monkey just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" "Sorry," replied the guy!!!!! "He eats everything in sight, the little bastard!!!!! I'll pay for everything."!!!!! The man finishes his drink, pays and leaves!!!!! Two weeks later, he's in the bar with his pet monkey, again and he orders a drink, and the monkey starts running around the bar!!!!! The monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar, he grabs it, and sticks it up his ass, pulls it out and eats it!!!!! The bartender is disgusted!!!!! "Did you see what your monkey did now?" he asks????? "Yeah," replies the guy!!!!! "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he measures stuff first."!!!!!

Barman: how are you doing?
Cowboy: awww... fine... just... I've these dreadfully chapped lips!
Barman: Listen, I know a great cure. Go to your horse, lift its tail and kiss its ass twice a day.
Two weeks later, the cowboy enters the saloon again.
Barman: Howdy, did my cure help?
Cowboy: well... lips are still chapped, but it sure keeps me from licking them.

I just saw on Conan, how to make a Halloween costume on the cheap. If you're a dude, 50+ years old? Stand next to a beautiful woman,

Of course,.. that works for me on the other 364 days of the year too!
I created a PDF of some gift tags for a client. They were arranged in portrait orientation so they would print on an 8.5" x 11" page like a regular document. I sent them to her, she said they were perfect, and I forgot about the transaction.
A few weeks later, she writes to me in a panic.
CLIENT: Your file is corrupt. When I print it, the bottom and top are cut off and it's centered on the page with a bunch of white space on the side.
ME: Did you make sure to change your printer settings to print in portrait? You probably have it set to landscape.
To further prove my point, I printed out the exact file I sent her, took a picture of it, and sent the picture showing it printed correctly. I also attached the same file I originally sent her and replied again.
ME: I just printed it and it worked perfectly (as you can see by the photo I sent you). I also reattached the file. You'll just need to change your printer settings to portrait.
CLIENT: No, it's not that. This file is corrupt. I'll just have to have someone else fix it since you won't.
I let it go. The next day:
CLIENT: So, I figured out what the problem was. I was printing in landscape.

These medications act on your brain to suppress your appetite. Phentermine, phendimetrazine and diethylpropion are only recommended for short-term use (a few weeks).
Possible side effects include:
- Elevation of blood pressure
- Heart problems
- Sleeplessness
- Nervousness
- Headache
- Dry mouth
- Problems with stomach or intestines such as nausea, diarrhea , or constipation
- Difficulty urinating
- Rash
- Restlessness

Taken at a dose of 120 milligrams 3 times a day, Xenical prevents ingested fat from being absorbed by blocking digestive enzymes. About 30% of the fat you eat will remain in your bowels. In some, the fat is excreted by the body between bowel movements as an oily discharge. It is recommended for long-term use (up to about 2 years). Orlistat is also available in a 60-mg over-the-counter form, called Alli.
Possible side effects include:
- Staining of underwear
- Gas
- Pressure to empty bowels

OTC medications advertised as promoting weight loss are generally considered ineffective. Some have led to serious side effects. Do not use over-the-counter or herbal remedies without talking to your doctor.
Special Considerations
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Plan ahead for refills if you need them.
- Do not share your prescription medication with anyone.
- Medications can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor if you are taking more than one medication, including over-the-counter products and supplements.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so please excuse me if I'm breaking any forum rules by posting a link to my Youtube channel.
My name's Andrew and I've been teaching English for about 5 years. After having packed teaching in, I've suddenly done another 180 degree turn and am about to start teaching again.
I'm just writing to see if I can get any feedback on a new youtube channel that I've created for English learners.
The link is: http://www.youtube.com/user/englishjetzt
I'd be really grateful if any of you could spare a few moments to have a look at it and pass it on to anyone who might find it useful.
If anyone else here uses Youtube to make videos for teaching, then I'd love to see them. :)
Cheers - Andrew
