Mercer East TIGER I Grant Proposal 2010
On February 17, 2010 Seattle was awarded $30 million in federal stimulus. Click here to read the press release.
Mercer TIGER Grant Proposal
The "Mercer Mess" has long been a major bottleneck in the Seattle area, hindering access to Seattle's fastest growing neighborhood, South Lake Union. The existing Mercer Street and Valley Street couplet were implemented in the late 1950s as a temporary solution to outdated traffic problems. Designated as part of the national highway system, Mercer cuts through the South Lake Union neighborhood, dividing neighborhoods and hindering economic development. The existing design creates congestion in the corridor which backs up onto Interstate 5 through the heart of Seattle, impacting the entire regional highway system, including Interstate 90 and State Routes 520 and 99.
The Mercer Corridor project supports Seattle's Center City Strategy, creating a livable and vibrant neighborhood with easy access to the downtown core. Seattle's Center City is the economic engine of the Pacific Northwest. Areas served by the project are home to 245,000 existing jobs, and 50,000 new jobs are expected by 2024. The project provides a main street for the growing biotechnology hub in South Lake Union, connects a number of urban centers to Interstate 5 and carries over 80,000 vehicles each day. It is critical for the movement of freight to the Port of Seattle and provides access to the Port's facilities on the north side of Elliott Bay, the International Cruise Terminal, Fisherman's Terminal, shipping facilities and other industrial uses.
The Mercer Corridor Project is shovel-ready. Seattle has secured $140 million, including $31.4 million through private contributions. This funding request for $50 million is the last piece of the puzzle and will build multi-modal improvements along Mercer and Valley streets including widening Mercer to create a two-way boulevard, reconstructing Valley Street as a local access street, providing new and wider sidewalks, improving connections to transit and adding bicycle lanes. The project replaces major utility infrastructure and integrates many environmentally friendly and sustainable design features. It supports the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project (SR 99) and rebuilds the street grid in South Lake Union.

While Homer's existence as a historical person is still a topic of debate, the writings attributed to the name have made their mark not only on Greek history and literature, but upon western civilization itself. Homer's epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, laid the foundation upon which Ancient Greece developed not only its culture, but its societal values, religious beliefs, and practice of warfare as well.
This publication features the Samuel Butler translation,… (more)
The only two remaining of what was once a large saga the Iliad and The Odyssey are not to be missed.As I must be brief I will merely say this as an attempt to convince my reader. Alexander the great said he took the Iliad with him on all of his voyages. The fantastic epic of the Odyssey can be thought of as a 2,811 year old version of Star Wars.

text: Hello all, I have spent so much time over on the RPF that I have neglected this account entirely. I just realized that I never posted this build here from a few months ago and wanted to share it now. Back when everything was rolling with the "As you wish" helmet project, I was inspired to do something with an unfinished Mando helmet I had laying around. One night I was tinkering with an Iron Man faceplate project and made a joke picture for my friend with the faceplate on the front of the Mando helmet, thus my project was born! I spoke of it often while building the helmet as being inspired by the As you wish project and made sure everyone understood that I was not actually involved with the project itself. I shared a build WIP on the RPF through the whole process and one day Discovered that Spideyfett was also by coincidence building his own version of a Boba/Iron Man mashup that WAS for the charity event. At that point, to avoid any confusion of the 2 projects, I stopped mentioning the event in my updates and write up as it would have been unfair to Alex's project for mine to be confused in there too. I have a write up on my build blog here, Weaselhammer Props: Iron Man / Boba Fett crossover helmet

Sixty Years of EDM
GF AgieCharmilles has been involved in EDM technology for some 60 years now. Its recent International Technology Show in Losone, Switzerland was a good place to sense the history and current status of this technology.
GF AgieCharmilles hosted its International Technology Show at its main building in Losone, near Locarno on Lake Maggiore in Switzerland
EDM (electrical discharge machining) got its start in 1952 when the Russian scientists, Boris and Natalya Lazarenko, first used electrical energy emitted by an energized electrode to remove metal in a controllable fashion. Two years later, a Swiss company introduced the earliest commercial machine tool using this metal removal process. Six decades later, GF AgieCharmilles (today's corporate entity rooted in the original Swiss company) is still building die sinking, wire and hole-drilling EDM machines in Switzerland.
In addition to EDM, GF AgieCharmilles provides high-speed/high-efficiency milling and laser texturing technologies, as well as related customer services and support for these technologies. This range of technology is important, because the current state of EDM is best understood in a context where these technology components are combined in an automated, integrated manufacturing solution.
GF AgieCharmilles' recent International Technology Show in Losone, Switzerland, commemorated the 60-year history and evolution of EDM, from its inception to its culmination as the critical process in advanced mold, die, toolmaking and high precision production. View this slide show to see what this event was all about.

Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
Tracing the Footsteps
By now you know that Jill and I spent a couple of weeks in France. Besides being the first two week vacation we've enjoyed in fourteen years it was also a pilgrimage of sorts - most of which I'll save to share another day.
Anyway, today is Veterans Day and I thought I'd take a moment to talk about my favorite veteran - Howard Gaertner. Who also happens to be my dad. Dad's been gone now for a couple of years but I'm sure he'd appreciate the mention.
This picture was taken on September 13, 1945 at Reims, France. That's sixty-seven years ago - an eternity by today's standards. That's dad on the right and his best friend - Donald Darneider - a classmate from Cathedral High School.
Check-out the shine on those boots!
Germany had surrendered in the spring of that year and Japan had surrendered a month earlier. At the time this picture was taken dad was all of 21 years of age. He'd already participated in the invasion of the European continent, spent three months in combat, was wounded and evacuated to England to recuperate and was returned to be part of the Army of Occupation. This was turning out to be an exceedingly long deployment and a boatload of experience for that previously skinny depression lad that was drafted after graduating high school.
Back to the trip.
As an experiment we took a handful of old, grainy, black and white photos from post-war France along with us and attempted to locate where those pictures were taken. The two below were taken of dad (by classmate Don) in Paris sometime in July of 1945...
I should have posed further to my left - away from the modern-day wheel chair ramp - but I think you get the picture.

Posted by Nigel Fenwick on the CIOs Blog on August 30, 2010
The new book Empowered highlights the benefits of empowering HEROes (highly empowered and resourceful operatives) within the workforce. As we approach our first-ever CIO Forum in October, I'm looking around for great examples of how governments are using social technologies to empower employees to serve empowered citizens.
When I think of government IT projects, I often think of multimillion-dollar projects lasting years before going live. But it doesn't always have to be that way, as the following example illustrates.
Peter Koht is a HERO working for the City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Office. In 2009, the city was facing its worst budget crisis (a problem familiar to many city officials). Running out of options, the city had already shut down civic services such as the community pool, museums, and a family resource center when it faced up to the reality that the people of the city needed to be involved in the decisions about what services to cut. Unfortunately, the voices too often heard at civic meetings were representatives of the extreme viewpoints at either end of the political spectrum. In an effort to collect more ideas from the silent majority, Peter suggested the city could tap into social media to connect with its citizens. Lacking any kind of budget or resources, Peter had to rely on the help of three volunteers to get a community site up and running in a week.

The New York State Athletic Trainers' Associations (NYSATA) recently announced that Canisius head athletic trainer Andy Smith will be inducted into the NYSATA Hall of Fame at the group's annual meetings later this week at Jamestown Community College in Jamestown, N.Y. Smith, a 1989 graduate of the College, has been on Canisius' staff since August of 1996.
As the head athletic trainer at Canisius, Smith oversees coverage for all 17 Canisius teams, working directly with the women's lacrosse and cross country/track programs. He also administers and oversees the student-athlete accident insurance and NCAA and Canisius College Drug Testing programs. The Western New York native also serves as an adjunct professor in the Athletic Training Education program at Canisius. His certifications include BOC Certification, Clinical Instructor Educator and National Safety Council Instructor of CPR, First Aid and AED.
"On behalf of our coaches, staff and literally thousands of student-athletes that Andy Smith has cared for, we want to offer both our congratulations and thanks for his service and dedication to the profession," Bill Maher, Canisius Director of Athletics, said. "Andy has a long and distinguished career both in and out of the training room, where his expertise is sought not only on our campus, but nationwide. He is the consummate professional and is very deserving of this tremendous honor."
Smith has held a number of positions within the NYSATA leadership, including serving as president, vice president, president-elect, treasurer (two years), regional representative and he spent time on the scholarship committee. Currently, Smith serves as the chair on the NYSATA awards committee. He is currently a member of the NCAA Drug Task Force and the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects, he was the chair of the NCAA Sub-Committee on Drug Testing and Education (2012-14) and he currently serves as an ATC concussion spotter for the National Football League at Buffalo Bills' home games.
During his time as NYSATA President, Smith's leadership and contributions helped in the creation and management of the first NYSATA website and he also initiated a legislative campaign to the State Legislature in efforts of amending the outdated regulation governing High School Athletic Trainer Scope of Practice. That amendment included requirements for all high school athletic trainers to have current AED certification.Prior to returning to Canisius in 1996, Smith spent six years as an assistant athletic trainer at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. He also spent one year as a graduate assistant athletic trainer at the University of Illinois, where he earned his master's degree in kinesiology/athletic training in 1990.

'We know how the Sabres fared as a team. Here's how they fared position by position. Reminder: If you're looking for a group of A's, go catch a ballgame in Oakland.'
Archives for May 2001
Short of the goal
Hope springs eternal for the true sports fan
'So I stand here and hang up my jersey with its battle scars and memories, and with mixed emotions think about when I can put it on again. Doug may never wear his again, or Donald, or even Dom for that matter. But I will. I'll put mine on again come October.'
Should Hasek stay, Sabres have problem
'A starting goaltender who's among the best to ever stand in the crease. A back-up who started as a rookie and is considered a rising star. An understudy in the minors who will be a starter in the big leagues before long. A college star who oozes potential.'
Gilmour's plans part of off-season intrigue
'"But if I play, I want to play. I wouldn't be asking for 25 minutes a game, but I would want to be some kind of impact player. I couldn't play just 12 or 13 minutes a game. My heart just wouldn't be in it."'
Maple Leafs have little interest in Gilmour
'"I won't comment because I can't," Leafs assistant to the president Bill Watters said, observing tampering rules as unrestricted free agent Gilmour is technically in the employ of the Buffalo Sabres until July 1.'
Gilmour says he isn't retired
'"I am done in Buffalo."'
Gilmour not ready to make it official
'Doug Gilmour is leaving the door ajar to a 19th season in the National Hockey League.'
Sabres forward Doug Gilmour backtracks on retirement, union says
'The NHL Players' Association said Monday he had not yet called it quits and will return to his home in Kingston, Ontario, with his family to enjoy the summer "and ponder whether he will play again next season."'
Will Hasek return?
'Buffalo has several young goalie prospects in waiting, but there are rumors in the NHL that the Sabres would trade one and captain-in-limbo Michael Peca to the Atlanta Thrashers for the Thrashers' No.1 pick (the first overall in the NHL) this June.'
Sabres C Gilmour says he has not retired
'But two days later, the NHL Players Association issued a statement saying that Gilmour had not formally retired and was returning to his home in Kingston, Ontario to ponder whether to play next season.'
Get Hasek some help or else turn the page
'Regier has worked past wonders when it comes to roster rehabilitation but not even he can make this team a 2002 Cup contender unless the Adelphia vault opens and the payroll is expanded.'
Gritty Gilmour played with heart of a lion
'"You could knock him down and blacken his eye, but he wouldn't let it die until he'd hit you that one extra shot; until he'd won."'
Goodbye Gilmour, hello Hasek
'Dominik Hasek wants to sit down with Buffalo Sabres' management before announcing his plans for next season, but it appears almost certain that he'll play one more year before retiring to the Czech Republic.'
Forward exits with fury
'In a farewell address that will never be confused with Lou Gehrig's, Gilmour railed against the Empire Sports Network and WNSA, which belong to Adelphia Communications. The Rigas family controls both Adelphia and the Sabres. Gilmour particularly lanced Brian Blessing and Mike Robitaille. They are co-hosts of "Hockey Hotline," a postgame show simulcast on Empire and WNSA.'
Gilmour misses scoring again in his last 'shots' as a Sabre
'"I think we got as much as we could out of Doug." And what was that? A parting shot at Adelphia? An implied shot at the coach? That's about the truth of it. And sometimes the truth hurts.'

Just a couple of quick questions.
To the mustard method gurus. I assume that you have to let the mustard dry out before painting on a new layer. Is this correct?
Is the masking fluid idea any better? And if so what are the best places to find it? I called Michaels and they said they didn't carry anything like that. Hobbytown USA was just a big pause and then the guy said..."So you want paint, right?"
I tried some liquid latex mold builder on some scrap and while it didn't stain the chrome like someone had mentioned that it might do it did "wrinkle" it. I guess when the latex dried and shrunk it just pulled the chrome paint closer together???

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I don't know this Joe, but have met some really good people in the classy car clubs before and I am sorry to hear for the loss, but God has his ways of doing things in which we will never truely understand.
I'm not from the DC area, nor have I had the priveledge to know Joe, but felt obligated to read the entire post.
Very moving words.....
My condolences to all that will miss him.
We lost a dear friend - God Speed Joe Wozney
Many, if not most of you did not know Joe Wozney.
He was the driving force behind the DC area track and driving events for the Mercedes Club and was instrumental in allowing people like us to participate in Benz Club Events.
Joe passed away from a massive heart attack this morning.
Below is his story, and mine.
It still hasnt sunk in and I am not sure when that will happen, but I am not looking forward to it.
I had a few hours on the plane today and I spent most of that time thinking about Joe and the impact that he had on so many lives, especially mine.
It hit me today that I knew Joe for 21 years. Aside from family, I can count on one hand the number of people Ive known that long.
He was my friend, but also a Mentor.
In reality, he was a Mentor to all of us.
I have my Uncle Sid to thank for introducing me, my Dad and my Brother to Autocross. The introduction is due in large part to Joe Wozney. I have Joe to thank for teaching me the value of Autocross and its subtle art.
Slower is faster Slower is faster is the mantra of all Autocrossers.
It was Joe who taught me what it meant and showed me how to embrace the concept. Those lessons went much further than a parking lot. Consistency at some point, means more than aggression or a will to win. I dont remember exactly when, but Joe insisted that I ride with him while courses were set up. I was always amazed that he had this vision of what the course would look like at least I hoped he did. It always, and I mean ALWAYS worked out. He imparted that knowledge to me, Mike Wirt, Pete Gochman and a host of others. Joe had his way of doing things, but he encouraged others to be active participants and helped us to learn our own way. One thing that was always a mystery to me was why he didnt drive at more events. Sometimes it was a problem with the car, but not always. I genuinely think he did it for us and I GENUINELY believe that he got more pleasure out of watching us tear through a parking lot than driving himself. Joe was consistently there to help us all succeed even 1/10th of a second at a time.
Joes selflessness was and is a big part of his character.
The thought of going to a big track for the first time was one of the most exciting and terrifying experiences of my life and I will always remember it. What if I bend my car? Joe pulled me aside and said Look, you should do this. Not because its cool, not because it looks like racing, but because it will make you a better driver. But only, ONLY do it if you think you can afford it.
Like that REALLY mattered
I was in college. I didnt have any money, but after talking to Joe, I was going to rob Peter to pay Paul to make this happen. I still have pictures from that weekend with Joe. I pulled them out and realized that Joe wore the most god-awful ugly tennis shoes on the planet. Some of you will remember the Spidey shoes that he wore. I couldnt help but chuckle a bit. I also had to laugh at another picture... I started in motorsports through drag racing. In drag racing, you put the car number in the upper right hand corner of the windshield. Not knowing any better, I put my numbers there. Joe came up to me and asked Ummm at any point while you are on track, do you intend to look out the windshield? Because if you do, youll want to move those. DUH! Then he laughed.
That single weekend sparked a love affair with performance driving and it became an integral part of my fiber, my being.
That was 1994 and there is no price tag one could mark that would do it justice.
Two years later, Joe approached me and asked if I would be willing to instruct at a Tri-O-Rama event at Summit Point. At first, I declined. Id never instructed before and besides, I was 25 years old who would listen to me!?!? I didnt think that I had the skills and I wasnt sure that I was ready to accept the responsibility, or risk, of guiding a novice at high speed around the track. Joe was very candid and said to me We all have to start somewhere. You can do this. You are not alone out there and you have help. For the next few months, at autocross and on the phone, he helped to prepare me for the experience. He was patient and supportive. When the day finally came to get in the Right Seat of a very expensive automobile I might add, I cant say I was comfortable, but at Pit Out, Joe gave me a thumbs up and all of my anxiety disappeared.
In the years following, Joe was a sounding board and always made time to listen. Not just questions about driving, tire pressures, organization or track/AX conditions, but people. There is success in that. It eventually led to me leading and running track events, for our group and others. His suggestions and techniques taught me patience, compassion and skills that carried beyond the race track. If you can keep a green driver from panicking at a 100 MPH, then dealing with a squirrely co-worker or a person on the street becomes almost easy, but nowhere near as fun or as rewarding.
I am a car guy.
At least I thought I was until I met Joe. His knowledge, subtle passion for automobiles and motorsports was second to none. I especially enjoyed talking to him about the glory days of Formula 1. Before Bernie Eccelstone turned it into the worlds fastest ATM machine. I had always grown up learning about American Muscle cars. Joe educated me on Lancias, BMW, the wide array of Mercedes Benz, and countless other marquees that make being an automotive enthusiast fun. That and turning right and left is an amazing experience. However, based on Joes guidance, it would be a bad idea to ever own a Rover ANY . Rover. He also taught us that Porsche is pronounced POOR-SHA, not POORSH, and to discern white from gray.
Thats part of the magic of Joe Wozney. If we look around at the people who knew him (many received this email), to some extent, they are all car people. Funny thing is that many didnt start out that way. His quiet passion stirred something in people and that drew them to him, to cars and to each other. Many of our friendships grew out of trying something new not many people wake up one morning and say Gee I think I will go to the race track/autocross today., but many did after a conversation with Joe. Now, many plan their summers around autocross and track events. I think that says a lot about Joe Wozney. Because of his influence, we have lasting friendships that transcend every conceivable echelon. We were all brought together through a common bond that Joe Wozney helped to forge.
It is important to mention, that for all his influence and contribution, there is another individual that made it possible for us all to benefit from our friendship with Joe. Bobbi Wozney should be equally celebrated when we talk about Joe Wozney. It is a very rare thing when you talk about the depth of love that two people share. Bobbi supported Joe and Joe supported Bobbi. I cannot fathom the sense of loss experienced by Bobbi, but I hope that she holds a solemn pride that her beloved Joe positively affected so many people and so many lives. It is important that Bobbi understand that SHE is as much a part of this experience as Joe. She needs us now more than ever. And truth be told, we need her too...
Joseph Campbell wrote about the power of myth in society and how we draw inspiration from it. He said, myth emerges from human experience based firmly in the real world. A critical component to this is the role of a Mentor.
During any tale, the Mentor guides the principle(s) to a certain point in the journey. Convention dictates that the Mentor leave the story at some point to allow the principle(s) to find their own way using the knowledge and wisdom imparted by the Mentor.
Joe Wozney, as a FRIEND and Mentor left an indelible impression on our lives. His departure from this world into the next, makes him sorely missed, but his spirit, wisdom and passion resides within each of us. We carry his legacy in how we conduct our lives and our passion for all things, not just motorsports, but throughout our world.
Joe Wozney made us feel important and meaningful. Regardless of experience, skill, social standing or personality, we are all friends due in large part because of him. Without Joe, we would not know each other. Our paths might not never cross. Our lives would not be enriched from our individual experiences, knowledge, humor or passion. Although I still question the logic behind allowing Ben Weber ANYWHERE near a microphone
We all owe Joe a debt of gratitude. Because of his influence, some of us have competed on a national stage, locally, or regionally, stood on the pit wall at Daytona VIR Watkins Glen Sebring MidOhio Limerock Road America and other storied venues, driven teeth and claw with some of the best drivers in the world or simply enjoyed a weekend diversion. For most, we simply made ourselves BETTER without the need for competition. Not many can say that.
Most importantly, it brought us all together.
To think it all started with a quiet conversation with a simple guy named Joe is a pretty amazing thing.
There is a certain poetry in that.
Without question, there is a void left by Joe leaving us. However, it is replaced by a fullness that will carry us through. The next time that we slide into the driver seat and slip on a helmet, Joe Wozney is there. He will ALWAYS be there in the flick of a steering wheel, a jab at a brake pedal or over a White Russian with friends that share a common passion, he will ALWAYS be with us.
That is an incredible gift. One that I will cherish forever.
God Speed Joe Wozney and I will see you on the backstretch.

Contrary to popular legend, breastfeeding women can become pregnant. However, methods of birth control exist that present no problems for either the nursing mom or her baby.
The health benefits that breastfeeding offers newborns are widely known and well-documented by numerous studies, and the convenience and cost savings associated with breastfeeding are significant. While most women who choose to breastfeed do so until their baby gets their first teeth (age 4-6 months), some will continue for much longer, often into the child's second year.
Since most women resume sexual activity several weeks after delivery, the need for effective birth control is an important consideration. The ideal method is one that is completely safe for the newborn infant, free of side effects for the nursing mother, and highly effective in preventing pregnancy. While no current method fits that exact description, there are several good options available to the woman who chooses to breastfeed.
The methods available to breastfeeding women include hormonal contraceptives, barrier methods, the intrauterine device (IUD), and sterilization. If you plan to breastfeed, talk to your healthcare provider before your delivery about which method might be best for you.
Breastfeeding Is Not a Contraceptive
The common misconception that breastfeeding itself prevents pregnancy has consistently been proven wrong. The fact is, if you exclusively breastfeed your baby for the first 6 months of life, you have a lower probability of becoming pregnant.
Breastfeeding can be a natural way to prevent pregnancy after birth with the Lactation Amenorrhea Method (LAM). While you are nursing, hormones that cause ovulation are not produced. If ovulation does not occur, pregnancy cannot happen. Is this an effective method? Not compared to other birth control methods. While it is true that a nursing mom is less likely to become pregnant than a mother who bottlefeeds, there is no guarantee that pregnancy will not occur if birth control is not used.
Hormonal Contraceptives
The Pill and Mini-pill
The combination birth control pill, commonly referred to as the pill , combines estrogen and progesterone hormones. Progesterone-only birth control pills, also called the mini-pill , only contain progesterone. Hormone contraceptives may work by disrupting the hormone cycle that results in ovulation. Some pills thicken cervical mucus, which makes it more difficult for sperm to meet the egg. Other pills do both.
Mini-pills are a popular choice for many nursing and non-nursing women. Mini-pills are less effective than combination pills. However, it is often recommended over combination pills after delivering your baby because combination pills increase your risk of developing a blood clot. Also, despite insufficient evidence to prove it, many organizations are concerned that combined oral contraception may suppress milk production, so they do not recommend them in breastfeeding women. Most women will not menstruate as long as they remain on the mini-pill—a welcome side effect for some women.
When breastfeeding is discontinued, an easy transition can be made to a combination pill. It is essential that the mini-pill be taken everyday at the same time to be effective. Noncompliance can result in an unintended pregnancy.
This option is an injectable hormonal contraceptive, which is given every 3 months. Breastfeeding women should wait until 6 weeks after delivery before receiving their first injection. The progesterone-like hormone contained in Depo-provera will not harm the nursing infant, is almost 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, and will not reduce your milk supply. Side effects include irregular periods or absence of periods and weight gain.
Barrier Methods
Barrier methods of birth control include condoms (male and female), the diaphragm, and the cervical cap. All of these methods work by presenting a physical barrier that prevents the sperm from gaining access to the egg. Although side effects are minimal, the pregnancy rate is significantly higher when compared to hormonal methods. None of the barrier methods interfere with breastfeeding in any way.
To improve their efficacy, condoms should be used in conjunction with a spermicidal gel. The chemicals in these gels do not enter the breast milk and therefore are harmless to a nursing infant. Failure to prevent pregnancy is usually due to improper use, failure to use at all, or breakage. Latex condoms may cause an allergic reaction in some women, but will not affect the nursing infant in any way.
It should be noted that using a male latex condom is the only birth control method that protects you from sexually transmitted diseases.
The diaphragm is a round, flexible, rubber, cup-shaped device that is inserted into the vagina before sex. When used with a spermicidal gel, its effectiveness at preventing pregnancy is similar to condoms. Diaphragms come in different sizes, so you need to see your healthcare provider to get a proper fit. You will also be instructed by your healthcare provider as to the proper way to insert and remove the diaphragm. The diaphragm should be left in place for up to 8 hours after intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Removal should be done within 24 hours. With proper care, a diaphragm will last for 2-3 years, but should be refitted if you gain or lose a substantial amount of weight during that time. You can be fitted for a diaphragm at your postpartum check-up—usually 4-6 weeks after delivery.
Cervical Cap
The less popular cervical cap fits more tightly against the cervix, is more rigid than a diaphragm, and can remain in place for longer periods of time.
Breastfeeding women sometimes develop atrophic vaginitis. This condition, a result of depressed estrogen levels, causes vaginal dryness, irritation, and painful intercourse. Insertion and removal of a diaphragm or cervical cap may be painful. If you suffer from this condition, a different method of contraception may be more acceptable.
The Intrauterine Device (IUD)
The IUD is an effective and safe contraceptive method for breastfeeding women. Current IUDs either contain copper or are impregnated with a progesterone-like hormone. There are no adverse effects from the IUD or any of its chemical components on the nursing infant.
For women who have completed their families, permanent sterilization is another method of birth control. A tubal ligation can be performed shortly after delivery while you are still in the hospital, or, if preferred, at a later date as an outpatient. In either case, no interruption in breastfeeding is necessary. Anesthetics used during the procedure may be present in the breast milk for a short period of time, but not in quantities high enough to cause any harmful effects on a nursing infant. Recovery from this minor surgery is rapid, and breastfeeding can resume as soon as you are awake and alert. After surgery, a wide variety of safe pain medications may be used.
Safe Solutions
For most new mothers, the thought of becoming pregnant again right away is frightening. Effective birth control is therefore of paramount importance. Breastfeeding mothers are often concerned about medications that might be transferred to their babies in their breast milk. Fortunately, there are several safe methods available for prevention of pregnancy in women who choose to breastfeed their infants.

So, more governments are recognizing the value of open standards and open source.
Looks like the Canadian government has come out with an RFI with priority for low cost/no cost open source software: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/02/canadian-government-eyes-open-sources-asks-for-feedback.ars
"According to the RFI, Canada is exploring no-cost software options onthe desktop as well as the server, in categories that include operatingsystems, office suites, and automation systems."
"Respondents are asked to comment on the potential for hidden costs, howto evaluate and manage compliance with open source licenses, and howopen standards and interoperability should factor into thedecision-making process."
According to this article: http://www.osor.eu/news/hr-cautious-start-for-open-standards-in-new-e-government-policy
Croatia's governmenthas taken a cautious next step to ensure its electronic governmentservices will use open IT standards. Five of the ten principles ineffect describe open standards.
There are references to more governments in the same website: osor.eu
Meanwhile the Dutch government minister for Foreign Trade Frank Heemskerk said: "Open standards offer long term benefits, including interoperabilityand lower costs. At times a migration to such software can be tricky,but public administrations will be supported in these cases", theminister wrote in reply to questions regarding software procurement bythe city of Utrecht.
The Finnish governmentwants the country's public administrations to increase their use ofopen source and open standards. On Monday the government published apolicy document to help public bodies with procurement and deployment.
The French police, in the year 2008 alone deployed 5000 new workstations, allrunning on Ubuntu. Every new workstation will ship with the same setup.During 2009 the Gendarmerie is planning to migrate close to 15.000workstations in total.

On netbooks, Linux, and Telcos
AntonySatyadas 1100009CNT Tags:  linux telco microsoft netbook 2,829 Views
Here is an interesting pattern:
According to Microsoft watchIDC reported that there is a surge in Netbook purchases in Europe.Around 3.6 million in Europe, 5 million or so, worldwide in 4Q,2008.CIO.com reportsthat "according to ABI research, 16M were sold in 2008; 39M will besold this year; and 139M by 2013".
Netbooks on Linux end up around $50-75 less expensive. Around 30% of the Netbooks sold are on Linux.
and Doug did predict this for 2009 - see eweek report:
In Europe, looks like Telcos have the lead on this, in getting netbooks out in the market...

Lol. Or even just random armor and steam pipes. GMV.
Re: The Girl in Red
Why does this dog have steam coming out of it armor? Is that the exhaust from a bad burrito?
This is not steampunk.. it is a dog wearing armor.
eHalcyon wrote:But I guess that's going off topic now. Jewel, you said in your first post on your design that you don't know much about steampunk. You should really do some research (I believe just Wikipedia would be enough) as it's a very interesting field. I think you could have come up with an even more amazing design if you had figured out what Steampunk is all about.
Jewel, you're always pumping out quality. I have to agree with eHalcyon though on this one. While this *is* a quality design, I'm seeing a very loose interpretation of steampunk. Truly though, I love the profile.

What s/he said. And if you decide not to resub, please consider putting it up on your own site once that's legal.
I'm not 'feeling' steampunk when I view this, but I would also like to say that I'm glad to see Seki doing something other than fluffy bunnies. ;) Good on 'ya Seki.
Also, I'd like to say something that will probably be falling on deaf ears (eyes?): Us critics would have a lot more respect from those that matter if we would set an example and be less jerky/more helpful.
That said, I have to agree that the final design doesn't really fit the theme well. However, your intentions are VERY clear from the line art that you were going for the theme pretty strongly from the beginning and at least we know you weren't just trying to slip this one past the rejectionator or anything ^_^ So thanks very much for posting that.
It's been said here... it's another awesome design (one of many from you!), but would perhaps fit better in another derby. If woot! is listening, how about "Fairy Tales Reimagined"?
Love it, shame is doesn't have more votes.
Can woot print those small half tones in the wolf's shadow?
Paradox55 wrote:[quote postid="3157340" user="ack154"]I'm not sure I see "steampunk" in this.
I agree, my first thought was NOT steampunk at all. Why the dog for the thumbnail instead of the design that was intended to fit the derby?
Perhaps so that the people who need to complain about ramyb's and bootsboots' style every week can zone in more easily? Not to direct this all at you, but honestly, for those who dislike this because the robot has too many bolts or the dog looks familiar or whatever else... then don't buy it. Constructive criticism I understand, but cutesy animal designs are pretty static; if it's not your thing your thing, why not spend your time finding and supporting an artist you DO like, rather than complaining about minutiae every week? Or better yet, create something more worthy for us all to spend ten bucks on?

So, 60 days is a long time to remember that I wanted to buy a shirt, is there an artist created website that functions as a sign pointing people to where these "new-life" shirts are being printed?
This isnt the first shirt i've seen pass by that i've wanted

Don't worry, Ramyb. You grasped the subject of the derby just fine. People just want you to google "steampunk characters" and paste the first image you see on a shirt.
That would have been better that googling "Iron Giant."

I must admit this instills new faith for me..I love this one..keep more like it coming.. (and also like your lemons on green shirt which I wear every warm day :P)
Re: Beauty and the Beast (resub)

I'm not sure making steam come out of a robot properly catches the "steam punk" idea. I find this, as I find many of Ramyb's works, sub-par on the originality and accuracy-to-the-theme scales. And yet, it's always fogged.
But I don't blame Ramyb, because lots of contenders submit sub-par work; I blame the voters who continually eat this stuff up.
Tell me people, HOW DO YOU DO IT? What compels you? If I submitted a masterpiece and Ramyb submitted a shirt with a pile of excrement on it, by your voting record I would still lose! I'm flabbergasted...
So. Where IS your submission? Please link so we can all worship your ultimate skillz.

I agree that the light blue is a great color for this, for the water effect and because light blue is generally an easy color to wear. What I meant to say in the comment above (whoops!) was that my only complaint about this was the placement... we females might have a bit of trouble with the design being hidden once this is on, if ya know what I mean :P
I don't think any of the top four fit into the derby rules, but maybe that's just me reading it wrong... No, it's more likely that all four artists got it wrong.
I really like the design, but I'm not too fond of the color of the shirt.
Great art - terrible adherence to the theme.
C'mon shirt.woot - this is laem. This was the best entry in the derby. The shirt is obviously asphalt.

I thought your other one was offtopic... I didn't even check the other fog shirts but now I see this ridiculousness.
That's it Woot. If this BS is going to continue, I'm out. I'm done. Peace.
Not to mention as stated before..it is outside the printable area.
This has got to be the most laem-est excuse ever. Could woot be more nondescript about this???
To the artist: Great design and execution of the derby theme. My only "gripe" about this - the buttons look plastic. Whenever this goes someplace else to sell - maybe use some gray color to make the buttons look steel/metal to contrast with the brass. Otherwise- very clever idea.

shirt.woot confuses me.

You are f-in awesome. Sure you can be a bastard at times, but that is what makes you..you. Keep it up. Oh, next time, amongst the other great suggestions, put the design slightly out of "printable" area range.
eHalcyon wrote:The template used here is NOT an "officially approved template". The only official template is the same cartoon drawing you see on the main shirt.woot page. "Real tee" templates, such as the one Drakxxx used here, are NOT official, although they are acceptable as long as the colour is represented correctly. This shirt template in particular is out of date; Cho's "wrinkly" shirt template is a much better representation.
I don't think the swatch was ever as light as the colour used in the background of this comp. If it was, it was in an extremely outdated version of the official template; when the new one was posted it was announced and everything. I'm pretty sure this happened before Drakxxx started submitting, unless I just never noticed his submissions until his Clockwork Orange entry.
Okay, setting aside the discrepancy on the definition of the term "officially approved template" for a moment, this is a perfectly reasonable argument until one realizes that a submission this creator submitted, specifically THIS one:
WAS printed, despite being on the "wrong" template.
You can argue that this "wasn't a valid template" all you want, but the point here is that Woot didn't care THEN, and only chose to start caring NOW, and that's bad form. It falls to those running the contest to inform people that they are doing something wrong BEFORE it causes the creator a problem, and frankly, they couldn't be bothered.

The two robots are the two types of Steampunk bots I'm used to. The big clunky type and the more elegant 'victorian' style. The name came from the contrast in their sizes/shapes etc.
Hey, look a butterfly. With gears inside it and a wisp of steam.
Sorry ramy, but steampunk is not the same thing as steam and gears. It should feel "rough" and this doesn't do that at all.
sorry seki, but I don't feel like this is steampunk. It feels like "extreme red riding hood". It just looks like the wolf is armored and that red riding hood is hunting it.
I don't see anything that screams "steampunk"
Re: Calling John Henry!
the details, textures and colors are amazing. this might be my favorite of yours robbie... although I studied ironclad for quite a while and really like that one too
this should have more votes. got one from me.

Re: the steam punk (re-sub)
ahh i hope this one gets printed!
Seriously ? Nice drawing but waaaaay off theme.
I am a big fan of Draxxx stuff. This is absurd, as everyone has stated. And, I know that I am sounding like a broken record, but there is another "fog" design that clearly violates the printable area rule. I think this is more blatant than Draxxx's color choice.

That is a very interesting point that never crossed my mind. I was trying to put it in a more interesting spot than dead center, but now absolutely see how it could be moved to account for, umm, female wearers. Thank you, I will have to remember that next time I design a shirt.

Winston from Canada asks:
I lost my icon in bottom right hand corner that shows I'm connected to the Internet. How do I get it back?
Good question, Winston!
Sometimes your Internet connectivity icon (located in the bottom right hand corner of your screen) can seem to disappear as if by magic. This is annoying when you want to find out information about your Internet connection like speed, packets sent and received or even just which provider you are connected too.
It's solved quite simply, though. It's different depending on which version of Windows you are currently running.
Windows XP:
– Click Start icon
– Scroll up to Settings
– Then click on Control Panel
– When the screen has loaded, click on the Globe icon called Network Connections
Now this part might be a little tricky if you use several Internet providers, but should not be a problem for most users.
– Right click on your preferred network then click Properties (It will be the one which has "Connected" status)
– When the new screen loads, make sure you are in the General tab.
– At the bottom, make sure the box is ticked which says "Show icon in notification area when connected". While you are here, you can also choose to get your computer to start or stop informing you about limited Internet connectivity by ticking the other box.
– Click OK and the icon should now appear.
Windows Vista/7:
If you are using Windows Vista or 7, then it is a completely different set of instructions, but just as simple.
– Click the right mouse button on the Windows task-bar
– Click Properties
– Change the tab over to Notification area
– Now, you have several options here. You can choose to show or hide Clock, Volume, Network and
Power by ticking or removing the tick from the boxes. (Note: Windows 7 has drop-down boxes)
– Put a tick in the Network box and make any other changes you wish
– Whilst here, you may also want to change the option where icons are removed from the task-bar if they are not clicked often. This should not be a problem if you click the Internet icon regularly though but is worth consideration.
– Click Apply
– Click OK and the icon should now appear
Just because the Internet Icon has disappeared does not necessarily mean the Internet is not connected. I always find it easier to open a Web Browser, search something and see if it loads to check connection. If you were looking to check connection speed then there are plenty of free tests available online with a Google search for "Free Internet Speed Test".
Your computer also might be set up with a setting that hides icons that are inactive. This is helpful if you have a lot of icons at once but can be an annoyance when you are trying to find one. This is easily solved by right clicking the task-bar, going to properties and looking for a ticked box which says something along the lines of "Hide Inactive Icons" and removing the tick.
If none of the above techniques work there are a few things you can do. If you have the settings of your system saved then you can revert back to those. This is likely for those of you with programs like Norton Anti-virus. Also, as a very last resort, you can save your files to an external hard-drive and reinstall your Windows system as the original settings include the icon on the task-bar.
Hope this helps, Winston!

I was watching a fan edit of episode 1 the other day and I couldn't believe how many little things that could have been changed to make it a better movie! :confused My question is what one thing would you change if Lucas asked you? I will give you mine 1st... obi-wan is hanging in the shaft looking up at darth maul, it is just so lame how a trained sith couldn't see someone teleport up and over his head while grabbing his buddies lightsaber, then gets sliced in half! every time I watch it I feel like I just got a lobotomy! just change it to where obi makes something click behind darth maul to make him look the other way, then he could do his jump.. plus it would link that jedi trick together when he did it again on the tractor beam scene to fool the stormtroopers on ep4.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
In a bold step to make Multnomah an easier choice for those who are undecided, and to help current students better afford the cost of tuition, Multnomah Bible College has introduced the Tuition Relief Scholarship, which gives students the opportunity to take up to $3000 worth of classes for free during the upcoming academic year.
Economic Realities
The Tuition Relief Scholarship was designed by Multnomah University President Dr. Daniel Lockwood and his senior leadership team as a response to the current challenges in the slumping American economy.
"All of us are feeling the pinch of these challenging economic times," Multnomah President Daniel Lockwood said. "The Tuition Relief Scholarship is one solution to help keep a biblically-centered Multnomah education as affordable as possible. Turbulent economic times remind us of this impermanent world; the TRS makes studying the permanent Word more attainable for students."
"The value of higher education to the community should not be forgotten," Vice President of Enrollment Management Gina Berquist said. "I'm excited about how this Scholarship ties directly into our mission and makes a Multnomah education an even better investment. I hope that students will be excited and successful because of this unprecedented opportunity to finish classes sooner, and do it for less money."
The Scholarship
To earn the Tuition Relief Scholarship, students must be enrolled for a minimum of 14 credits in a Bible College undergraduate program offered on the Portland, Oregon campus. If a student enrolls in 14 credits, they will then get every additional credit up to 17 free - for a total of up to $1500 per semester.
The Rules
For more questions or further clarification on the Tuition Relief Scholarship, please contact one of the following departments:
About Multnomah University
Multnomah University is a fully accredited, private, non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located in Portland, Oregon. Made up of an undergraduate Bible college, a biblical seminary, graduate programs, an adult degree completion program, and an online distance-learning program, Multnomah issues bachelor's and master's degrees, and professional certifications and endorsements.

I swear, I think they trimmed the bottoms of those with machetes.
tell me about it
Show us were it warpt , the 95 arnt that bad out of all the other years theyt were the best and the size wasnt to much smaller than the real thin ,
how ever the ones that are made from a white plastic are better matterial , but the size is the same ,
Looking good. With some cutting and some paint, you can make that a really nice helmet...
that looks pretty darn good for a dp95 at this point.
I wish I could get it repainted but.....my parents won't let me....sad I know lol
I'm still gonna buy Jinto's Boba helmet, but...I've decided to try my hand at repainting the DP 95. Except..I don't know what sort of hobby paint colors I would need...I've got a a creamy color to repaint the ears so far, but I'm not sure what shade of red, green/s and silver/dark silver I need to use..
EDIT: I aim to do an ESB color scheme and I prefer to use colors that can be removed by water and a rag and also could be applied with a paint brush
Last edited by Metadude; May 8, 2011 at 3:05 AM.
i don't know what all kinds of paint you have in aus, but i'm pretty sure jinto could help you figure that out. though spray paint would probably work out a lot better than brush on paint.
spray paint is harder to use, so that's why I prefer to use paint on
Don't be afraid of spray paint mate. It's much easier to use and will give you a waaaaaay better finish in the end. That's my opinion of course but there's a heap of others who'll back me up on that.
There's heaps of colours in Australia available from the hardware shops (bunnings etc) that will work just fine for your purpose.
This is a pic of my ESB using pretty cheap spray cans:
I've used spraypaint before...and I suck at it...the paint goes all gloopy..
Last edited by Metadude; May 8, 2011 at 4:20 AM.
The brush-on will give you alot more visible blemishes like brushstrokes etc than a few drips (which you won't get if you do it in thin layers)
But each to their own, I've seen some good paint-jobs done with a brush and I'm sure you'll give it a good go.
I aim to set it to a "Clean" (no scratches) version, and then add in the necessary scratches and stuff to turn it into an ESB helmet
Anyone have any idea for what colors to use?
Hey bill Ive been raking my brain thinking what kind of helmet this is ,??
turned out great, How did you go with the other ear pieces
Last edited by BGHunter; May 19, 2011 at 5:00 AM.
Btw, Jinto. And in a few months I hope to get one of your lids to paint up myself
can someone guide me on how to do this hot water method tried using the search for a few days now and cant seem to find this tutorial
I didn't use any hot water method. What I did was turn the oven on to its lowest setting, stuffed the helmet with towels, and shoved it in there. After a minute or two, I pulled it out, reshaped it, and stuck it in the freezer. After repeating this a few times, I ended up with a lid that looked like this (Mine's actually a '96):
This picture is after painting and visor replacement, of course. Just make sure to leave it in the oven long enough to get flexible, but not long enough to melt. Also, place it on a towel while inside so it doesn't melt or misshape the bottom to the bars.
EDIT: I also brush-painted my helmet, Meta, so you can get an idea of what it might look like in the end.

Sorry to say, but you bumped a very old thread
Wow, that's a great looking dp95. What visor did you used? Iam scared to dremel the original visor and mess up the mold :/
leave it in the sun for 10-15 minutes, then get a hobby knife and cut the visor out- you should be fine

Choosing the right door can make your home more secure
Selecting a Door for Home Security

Increased Security, Small Expense
When it comes to home security, doors play a key role as they are the important parts of your home. Latest technologies have brought tremendous change in the style and designs of doors and added many new security features. Exterior doors are the main source of entry into a home for burglars, according to home statistics. Make sure that front and back doors are secure, as these are the ways for the intruders to gain entry into your house.
Below are some tips that will help you to choose the best door that provides safety to your home and possessions.
- Ensure that the door you consider has been proven to withstand burglary techniques. 80% of the burglars are forcing their entry through the door. Therefore, having a door that cannot be forced open is crucial
- Your garage is the largest entry point to your house. So, you need to have a safe and secure garage door. A garage door company provides a garage door that has security features and is fully equipped. Some do have motion sensors and some have alarms that give alerts when something is wrong.
- Get the help of your friends and neighbors who have better knowledge about high quality doors. Make sure that the doors you consider are certified because certified doors are always up to standard measures and materials.
- Examine the location of your home carefully before investing. If it is in a fire prone area, then look for a door that can withstand high temperatures.
- Examine the quality of the material that has been used in the manufacturing of the door. Steel doors are more secure and durable when compared to other doors like wood and fiberglass.
- Consider the price of the doors. Even though steel doors are expensive, they provide much more security and are long lasting. They may not rust like other metal doors.
- Make sure that the door you opt for is strong, sturdy, and thick, so it's difficult for burglars to force open the door.
- Ensure that your doors are fitted with quality locksets. They not only prevent burglars but also add beauty to the exteriors of your doors.
- Add a peep hole to your exterior door, so that before opening the door, you can peep through and open the door only if you know the person. If required, install another peep hole at a lower height
