text: We who are members of Treadle On, came up with that term. I think its a great description. I've preformed that operation on 2 of my Singers, the 15-90 and 237. Maybe the 306W will get a motorectomy, gotta get cleaned up before that happens. The wiring looks kinda scary, I don't have a electric cabinet to put the 306W into anyhow.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Trends in Nanomedicine, identified unprecedented levels of innovation in nanomedicine (Photo Courtesy: www.vaibhavmondhe.wordpress.com)
Singapore: The remarkable progress made in medicine and wellness over the last ten years is partially due to the radical advances made in nanotechnology.
This technology's core healthcare applications include nanomedicine, nanobiosensing, nano self-assembly and life sciences, especially in the areas of precision targeted therapies, high-sensitivity chips, nano arrays and next-generation biomarkers.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Trends in Nanomedicine, identified unprecedented levels of innovation in nanomedicine.
There have been notable developments in diagnostics, therapeutics, companion diagnostics, regenerative medicine and many other applications that are linked to the concept of precision medicine.
"New nano formulations for targeting tumors, soft nanomaterials for bone regeneration and implantable devices for localized delivery of drugs have all given a huge boost to precision medicine," said TechVision Industry Analyst Ms Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe. "Other innovations such as nanostructured surfaces for biosensors, image-guided implantation of advanced neurostimulators, 3D nanomaterials for stem cell immobilization and intelligent bioactive materials will usher in a new era of healthcare."

Old National Bank employee Becky Davis scrapes a coating of ice from her car around noon Thursday outside the bank's main branch in the 500 block of Main Street. Davis wasn't scheduled to work in the afternoon, saving her from having to travel streets slickened later by freezing rain. The ice was blamed for a tractor-trailer rolling over on Interstate 64, minor accidents and scattered power outages Thursday night.

Steller Night Sky Motion
A longer exposure of around 30 seconds shows how quickly the clouds were moving across the night sky in this location near Sleeping Elephant in the Poudre River Canyon. The moon helped to light the scene and mostly defeat the light pollution from turning the clouds orange. I added the diffraction spikes to medium sized stars in post. This was one of the last shots I took with my D300 before dropping it the next day.

ThermoEngine Comparison - Solid vs. Hollow Just as quickly as Thermosonic's ThermoEngine entered the cooling market, it has since managed to get itself into controversy. The controversy stemmed from apparent differences between the Thermoengine heatsinks being circulated around the hardware review community, and those available for sale on the retail level. Since a lot of the interest in the Thermoengine heatsink surrounded the hollow center core, suspicions were aroused when retail units started popping up with solid cores. The evolution of a product is nothing new, and even though the differences between the two types of Thermoengine raised a lot of questions, the only real question is "does this even make a difference in terms of cooling"? This also happens to be the only question we can really answer about the change in the Thermoengine's design, and one that we will be putting to rest in a few moments. When we first reviewed the hollow Thermoengine it performed at the top of the class of reference heatsinks. Its efficient design impressed us just as much as the numbers when we tested it on the FrostyTech Synthetic Temperature Test Platform. The hollow inner chamber, as demonstrated by sites like Overclockers.com and HardOCP.com, only served to heighten the perceived capabilities of this elegant aluminum extrusion design. We were very impressed with the results of those heatsinks we tested, and we still are.
In this
we will be examining the following:
Let us begin our comparison of the Hollow Thermoengine vs. the Solid Thermoengine.

Sydney: Jan 30, 2014
Australian captain Michael Clarke has backed all-rounder and his former deputy Shane Watson to keep his No 3 spot for the Test series against South Africa and also prove his true mettle.
Watson was Australia's second-highest run-scorer across the back-to-back Ashes series after Chris Rogers, but his Test average is a modest 36 as compared to South Africa's No 3 Hashim Amla, who averages over 51.
According to News.com.au, Alex Doolan and Shaun Marsh have both been earmarked for the crucial role after their inclusion in the squad, leaving Watson to come in at six and take more responsibility with the ball. Clarke is also including Watson to bat at No 3 as he is a senior player and relishes taking "extra responsibility".
Stating that it is good for the team that has a number of available options for the No 3 slot, Clarke also said that they will assess a suitable candidate at the tour game in Potchefstroom, adding that he is backing Watson to have a fantastic series and lead by example despite failing to make lots of runs during the Ashes.
Marsh is still under an injury cloud and has remained in Australia for further treatment on a minor calf strain, while Jackson Bird has also been left behind to prove his fitness after he jarred his back playing in the Big Bash League, the report added.

This particular night, though, he was recovering from hip surgery and couldn't sleep, so he was watching TV. An old episode came on - the one where the crew of the USS Enterprise visited a society that had modeled itself after Chicago gangsters of the 1920s. Kirk and Spock dressed up in pinstripe suits and held court as tough guys.
Watching, Shatner was more pleased than he expected.
"I haven't seen myself playing Captain Kirk in a long, long time," he says. "And I watched it now, from my perspective of 40 years later, and I thought, `You know, that's rather good.' It's a starship captain trying to do the accent, the Noo Yawk accent, trying to play tough, trying to be one of the guys. It's not quite right, but it's what a starship captain would have done - a decent imitation, enough to fool those guys but not the audience."
Shatner won't be playing Kirk in the upcoming reboot of "Star Trek" directed by J.J. Abrams. Leonard Nimoy plays an aging Spock, but the Jim Kirk character - a young version - is portrayed by actor Chris Pine. Shatner has said he's sad but not angry at the decision, which springs from the killing off of Kirk in the 1994 film "Star Trek Generations."
The recent late-night TV watching got Shatner thinking, though, about the character of Kirk and how it has endured.
"That was a good hero," Shatner says. "He made decisions. He was forceful. He was compassionate. He was the instigator. He fought hard and long physically and emotionally. He carried the dilemma of whether to intrude or not to intrude. It was all the classic forms of good Greek playmaking: The hero has the dilemma and resolves the dilemma."
Even the series' renowned cheesy production design, done on an increasingly tight budget through the show's 1966-69 run, didn't put him off.
"The actors were wonderful. And I didn't care about the sets or anything like that or the cheesy spaceship," Shatner says. "I think that's what happens in `Star Trek.' Your eye goes past all the faults because you're concentrated on the actors and the plot."

Sexiest Emmy Couples 2010
By Rebecca Silverstein
The Emmy Awards red carpet isn't just a who's who of Hollywood -- it's a who's with who. Keep clicking for the couples who burned up the red carpet at this year's show.
Newlyweds and "True Blood" co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are just as sexy with their clothes on as they were on their Rolling Stone cover. (Well, almost as sexy.)

Jason Lusk has survived a lot more than being voted off last night's "American Idol."
The soon-to-be 24-year-old spa concierge from Compton, CA lost his father when he was 12, and admitted there were times he was homeless, before turning to education and his immense musical talent to overcome those hardships.
Lusk, often compared to Luther Vandross during his "Idol" stint, said he left home at 17, then moved out of his mother's house to his own apartment in L.A. to try to make it on his own, admitting he wanted to put his former life behind him when he auditioned for the show. When he sang Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child," he changed the lyric to reflect his own situation . "I wanted mine. I didn't want to struggle anymore. I didn't want to wonder where my next meal was coming from, or if I'd have the money to pay the rent."
He eventually graduated from high school, where he was student body president and captain of the speech/debate team, then took music classes at college, which rekindled his interest in a career.
Jacob's huge voice, poised between his gospel roots and love of traditional R&B, blossomed in his show-stopping audition of Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" and his closing version of his idol Vandross' "A House is Not a Home." His flamboyant, crowd-pleasing performances delivered him to the Final Five.
Watch Jennifer Lopez's Performance On Thursday's "Idol":
Just the night before, mentor Jimmy Iovine had criticized Lusk's two performances and suggested the pressure of the competition might be getting to him.
"I was getting a little tired," he admits. "At the end of the day, I tried to give my all, and that's what I feel I did."
Did the high-powered record exec's comments hurt him?
"It definitely hurts a lot to have someone who is supposedly mentoring you tearing you down," he admitted. "But you have to remember. You're not performing for him; you're performing for the people out there in America. They're the ones that are voting. It's hard to have someone beat you over the head with a baseball bat and then say, 'OK, now go ahead and sing for your life.' But I have no complaints. He has his opinions and he's entitled to them."
Regarding his controversial comments after performing Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" about people taking a look at themselves, he insisted it wasn't directed at "Idol" voters or his own standing, but things going on in the world.
"The Japan tsunami was the inspiration for that," he insisted. "I wanted people to look at ourselves, what we could do to change the world. I was starting with me, that night. It had nothing to do with me being voted in or out. It was sensationalized."
About crossing over from gospel to R&B: "I think America got that I was the crooner soulful guy, and those lines often blur," he said. "Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, Whitney Houston, even Mariah Carey had roots in the church. I will continue to give my all, show my heart and do my best to touch people with my music. It's not about how great I can sing or how many riffs I can do. Or how good or bad Jimmy thinks I am."
The man with the self-described Lusky Skank could well fill a gaping void in today's market for a Luther, Teddy or Marvin Gaye-style soul crooner doing love ballads. But can he avoid second season winner Ruben Studdard's flame-out in attempting to straddle commercial R&B and gospel? "Randy was always telling me I have to be myself," he says of Jackson, who often urged him to stick to his choir roots. "If I do that, no one can say anything. I'm not going to forsake gospel because that's what people like to hear me sing. It's about a balance, a middle-ground, a hybrid between the two. I think there's a world out there desirous of what I have to offer. I'm definitely looking forward to putting out a great record. I want to make my fans proud."

Nokia World is traditionally the biggest single Nokia event for the year - it's a forum that usually brings a handful of new devices and most of the software news from the Finns, but this year the format will change completely to many much smaller events and the first one will kick off earlier than usual, in the beginning of September.
Nokia World 2012 starts on September 5th with an invitation-only event for carriers and larger partners, but it will be followed up by other events that will cater to different audiences. Overall, the whole event is becoming more fragmented and less centralized. Nokia says it will look more like the SXSW show rather than the a CES-like event.
Previously, Nokia World 2012 was said to kick off on September 25th, but it seems now that Nokia could be running ahead of schedule. That is if it indeed announces new handsets at the first event, which might not happen. So, let's just wait and see how it all works out.
Just now, we've heard that Nokia is cancelling Symbian Carla, so the logical assumption is that all focus is now on Windows Phone. Nokia will announce all of the upcoming small events around Nokia World soon, so stay tuned to find out what's next for the company.

text: Profane Rant By D-III Christian College's Golf Coach Is A Thing To BeholdBarry Petchesky11/08/12 11:20pmFiled to: RantsGolfHuntingdon hawksHuntingdon collegeAngry golf rantMatt mahanicD-iii golf coach rantVideoAudioNewslife lessonsTopCoach meltdownscoaching meltdowns881EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink You could forward through the first 1:55 of this clip to get to the yelling and the screaming and the oh-so-many bad words. You could. But you shouldn't, because the buildup is what makes the explosion so great. Calm, helpful strategy gives way to praise for the one player who shot a decent round, to violently RIPPING the team a new one.AdvertisementLast month the D-III Hawks of Huntingdon College, a Methodist school in Montgomery, Ala., traveled to Ohio for the Gordin Classic. It didn't go so hot; they finished 11th out of 12. On the bus ride back, head coach Matt Mahanic (who mistakenly believed the team finished last) tore into them. This reportedly wasn't his first rant, but this time, someone on the bus was recording. At least 10 email forwards later, it's made its way to us. Some highlights:"That is fucking horrendous. Horrendous that nobody can shoot fucking par on that golf course. That is the most fucking embarrassed I've ever been in my life, having to walk around that fucking scoreboard and look at those other fucking coaches—Fucking 11 teams beat us this week! Eleven fucking teams! Goddamnit!""I gotta fucking go up there and watch that bullshit you four call golf! Like watching fucking paint dry! My dad looked and me and said, 'Why the fuck are you recruiting these kids?'""I'm ready to lose my fucking mind. There is no fucking helping you! ...Fucking not a big deal, though. It's not a big deal. Fucking hunky-dory.""We fucking don't deserve shit. Fucking—we haven't broke 300 all year. Four fucking chances in nice weather, and we haven't broken 300 yet. Fuck me.""I don't want to hear a fucking word out of anybody until we get back to Kentucky[?]. Put your fucking headphones on, go to sleep, I don't give a shit. I had to watch you play golf for the last 54 fucking holes. Please do not let me hear your fucking voice right now."All of which is to say, D-III golf is serious business. The Hawks would head to their next tournament in Florida...and finish 12th.Update, 11/9: And Mahanic has been fired.

It is not unlikely that the girl could get up after a fall. By letting the child fall and react to that event, the mother would have been allowing the child to learn that she had the ability to take care of herself.

Hi n0str3ss.
I use them every day, and for me they still are an amazing bargain. I've compared them with the GR07 face to face,, and, may be the GR07 is a bit more precise (you have to look for subtle details to notice the differences) and equilibrated. Bass notes have more impact in the VSD1 SE (but may be with a bit less extension) and treble is a bit softer and darker than in GR07, SE is also less sibilant (as treble is not as present as in GR07). For me, i still prefer the slight coloration of the LE than the additional precision of the GR07.

Chrysler swings to profit on US sales
- 30 July 2012
- From the section Business
Chrysler has swung to a profit as the carmaker was boosted by sales in its home US market.
Net profit was $436m (£278m) in the second quarter , compared with a loss of $370m in the same quarter a year ago.
The company said its US market share jumped on a 32% increase in retail sales there.
Chrysler has little presence in Europe. The company gets 75% of its sales from the US, where the car market has been growing for the past three years.
Revenue for the quarter was $16.8bn, up 23% from a year earlier.
Worldwide vehicle sales were 582,000 for the second quarter, up 20% from the second quarter of 2011.
The company's loss from a year ago was due to a $551m charge over repaying government bailout loans.
After Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy protection in 2009, Italy's Fiat agreed with the US government to share technology and management in return for taking a stake in the US company, which has since turned into a majority holding.
Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne is also the head of Chrysler.

Tara says goodbye to Rev3Games, and reminisces about the journey that got her where she is today.
After one hell of a ride, Nick says a final goodbye to Rev3Games before embarking on his next gaming journey.
Cisco rarely plays anything other than Counter-Strike, but recently he fell under the spell of Spelunky - a game that Nick thinks might be a future classic.
Sunset Overdrive from Insomniac Games is one of the biggest titles coming out this holiday - but is it worth your time and money?
Nick got to go hands-on with three hours of SUPER SMASH BROS FOR WII U and came back with tons of footage! Here's a list he compiled of 100 new things he learned during his time playing the game.
Nick is joined by Lucid's creative director Craig Howard for a 30-minute gameplay session of Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions!
Nick is joined by Tom Lee, Creative Director for Team Ninja, for a few rounds of Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round on PS4.
Nick was as surprised as anyone when Platinum Games was announced as the developer of THE LEGEND OF KORRA, the downloadable tie-in to the popular Nickelodeon series. How does the game compare to their more hardcore fare? Check out Nick's mini-review to find out!
Nick and Tara are joined by Polygon's Phil Kollar this week to discuss the trailer for Hatred, the controversial new indie game from Poland's Destructive Creations. The trailer's depictions of violence against innocents have them wondering - can a game go too far?
This week, two games came out that weren't entirely made by their original authors, which has Nick wondering about authorship in games, and whether it really matters to most gamers.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe Giudice, seem to be attracting all the wrong kind of attention. Not only have they claimed a very publicly embarrassing bankruptcy, but Monday's (August 9) episode features the car accident Joe was in back in January of this year.
When it came to the excuses about the bankruptcy, we've already seen some major bobbing and weaving from Teresa. But, now it seems that the accident and subsequent DUI charge will bring with it more excuses from Joe.
In the episode, Jacqueline Laurita and her husband, Chris, come over after the accident. Joe describes driving late at night and closing his eyes for one second from sleepiness and then running his car off the road, through some trees, then hitting a telephone pole. He claims he wasn't drinking and Jacqueline attests that when they went out earlier that same night for dinner, he didn't drink any alcohol.
According to reports at the time, though, Joe's story doesn't match up with police records. After responding to the 911 call, police arrived at the scene of the accident and Joe was taken to Morristown Memorial Hospital. While there, blood was drawn that found Joe's blood alcohol level above the legal limit. Montville police then charged him with a DUI.
Then, as if the poor guy didn't have enough to deal with that night, the police found he had outstanding warrants in the neighboring town of Clifton. The Clifton police then took custody of Joe and he was released later that day.
Watch as Joe denies he drank the night of the accident:
We're sorry, Joe, but it's hard to believe the police and the hospital got it all wrong!

The winter months are approaching and it's time to address Vitamin D again.
Vitamin D deficiency is fairly common. Vitamin D is not actually a vitamin, but a hormone the body produces from sunlight.
According to recent review of existing research there is evidence low vitamin D levels impact cardiovascular disease risk, specifically blood pressure, insulin resistance, and coronary artery disease. The review of around 75 mostly observational studies was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology this month.
Whether or not taking supplemental vitamin D will reduce cardiovascular risks or how much is needed to be effective is still to be determined. We now need more randomized control research studies to examine the impact of high dose Vitamin D supplementation to weigh the pros against the cons.
Daily Vitamin D RecommendationThe Institute of Medicine has increased the Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamin D from 400 IUs per day to 600 IUs up to age 70 years-old. For those over age 70, the recommendation is now 800 IUs.
Vitamin D Sources
The best source of vitamin D is sunlight. Usually 10-15 minutes of sun exposure most days is enough to meet your vitamin D needs. However, keep in mind that clothes, sunscreen and where you live impact whether or not the body is able to product vitamin D from sunlight.
Some vitamin D rich foods include:
Fatty fish (i.e. salmon)
Fortified dairy products
Fortified cereal
Fortified juiceWhere you live impacts vitamin D production
If you live above the 40th degree latitude the sun's rays are not adequate during January and February. Picture a globe a draw a line around the globe starting at Denver, CO. If your home is above this line you are above the 40th latitude. If you live above the 42 degree latitude (above Chicago, IL), the sunlight is too weak from November through February.
Do you need to supplement Vitamin D?
I recommend discussing supplementation of vitamin D with your physician. Ideally you'd have lab work completed to determine whether or not you are deficient and if supplementation would be beneficial.

Ahead of the expected influx of new Skylanders Trap Team characters to be announced at this year's Gamescom expo a new villain, Brawlrus, was unveiled this morning. This is another of the trap-able enemies from the game that start off as bad guys before being beaten and persuaded to help players.
As you can see from the exclusive character illustration below, Brawlrus extends the large-fisted style of characters like Stump Smash with an old-time wrestler aesthetic. His name suggests that he is loosely themed around a Walrus and appears to offer close range attacks from his tusks and fists. In the game he also sports a blunderbuss style fire-arm that shoots a variety of aquatic creatures.
Like all 40 of the trap-able villains in Skylanders Trap , the first time players encounter Brawlrus they need to defeat him before progressing. Once defeated he is sent to the Villain Vault in the hub world and, provided they own a Tech element Trap, players can then switch over to play as the newly trapped villain.
These trapped villains are compatible across each of the different Skylanders Trap Team platforms, including the newly announced Skylanders Trap Team Mobile version. This not only enables families to choose which technology to play the new game on when it is released in October but also enables friends to share characters and traps regardless of their chosen format.
The gameplay footage for that new Tablet version of the game also revealed a new ability to quick switch into villains that have already been captured in traps. The game-play showed a variety of Trap Masters take on a villain with a red glow and arrows before instantly switching over to control the character.
More characters and villains are expected to be revealed as the doors of Gamescom open for business later today. As with Brawlrus, each villain extends the number of playable characters in the game. It will be interesting to see how the mix of male and female villains pans out, after promises of more female Skylanders in this years game. Although I may be jumping to conclusions, it appears that Brawlrus is another male villain.

Furniture and object designer Karen Chekerdjian's gallery in the rejuvenated Beirut Port District stands as a small, stubborn monument to Lebanon's rapidly disappearing past, particularly its artisanal tradition. Though her aesthetic sensibility is unmistakably influenced by mid-century Danish and Italian design, everything that bears her name is handmade by local craftsmen who specialise in a single material, such as wood, brass, or glass.
Chekerdjian is among a handful of prominent designers and architects in Lebanon contributing to the preservation of the country's fading heritage. For Chekerdjian, the price of employing artisans, like the price of living in a renovated turn-of-the-century home in scenic, comparatively well-preserved Gemmayze, is one worth paying. "Craftsmen are expensive," she says, "but I feel like I'm protecting a knowhow."
Long-suffering Beirut, where Chekerdjian was born and raised, is a study in how 15 years of civil war, poorly planned reconstruction, and a lack of zoning laws can result in the rapid erasure of a city's past. Today, the forest of builders' cranes visible from every rooftop provides a telling contrast to the images from the 1970s and '80s which made Beirut synonymous with complete urban devastation. Within 40 years, Beirut has gone from a celebrated architectural gem, unique in the Middle East, to a congested and haphazard collection of cinder block high rises, with more popping up daily.
Architect and urban planner Habib Debs is one of the driving forces behind the renovation of some of Beirut's most picturesque old buildings, and it's been a constant struggle. "If you compare Beirut with other cities in the region, like Damascus or Cairo or Istanbul," he says, "this is the only capital where nothing has been protected from destruction." Lebanon's laws permit landowners to build high rises on plots of land where once stood three- or four-storey multi-family homes. Vacant and decrepit but still standing, most of Beirut's oldest buildings have either been left to slowly decay or are razed to the ground to make way for a much more lucrative alternative.
As a result, few examples of the city's famed mix of Ottoman, French colonial, and art deco architecture remain, and even fewer have a chance of surviving the ongoing construction boom. Along the seafront Corniche, among the last remaining public spaces in Beirut, newer areas featuring eye-catching examples of early modern architecture have been neglected, fallen into complete disrepair and overtaken by ever-taller apartment buildings vying for a glimpse of the Mediterranean, at least for their penthouse dwellers.
"People don't realise what they're losing," says Chekerdjian, who moved with her family from their "very modern apartment" into one of Debs's restored 120-year-old homes last July. "I can't think about how Beirut has changed because it really hurts me."
Designers Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hibri of Bokja, a furniture gallery in the high-end shopping district of Saifi Village, are driven by a similar wish to safeguard endangered skills while engaging with the issues of the day, from the Arab uprising to the election of a new pope. It's not unusual for objects in the gallery to elicit strong reactions from visitors; a sofa chair featuring an embroidered portrait of Hugo Chávez was an alarming sight to a Venezuelan couple who once dropped by the store, though no one has so far had any issues with the Stalin chair. Fusing together art and functionality, the Bokja atelier employs artisans and recycles materials found in antique stores and flea markets.
While Beirut's architectural decline causes heartbreak for Chekerdjian, Baroudi and Hibri often feel inspired by what they call the city's "glitches." According to Baroudi, Bokja's essence is "a very unusual juxtaposition of the beautiful with the ugly, the ordinary with the special, the brocade with the jute. It's our way and it's definitely the result of being a Beiruti and living in Beirut."
But as the city's streets and neighbourhoods become more and more indistinguishable, so do the interiors of people's homes. "Until 10 years ago, interior design in Beirut was still very classical – old-fashioned sofas and big chandeliers. Today, people who have money want their homes to look what they think of as 'modern'," says Chekerdjian, who credits furniture company B&B Italia with the dubious distinction of outfitting countless Lebanese living rooms in shades of black, beige, and off-white. "It's all neutral colours. B&B used to be a very interesting company but they don't take risks any more." Neither, she says, do Lebanon's interior designers.
Baroudi and Hibri agree. Beirutis "play it safe", they say, choosing to conform to the trends of the moment rather than gamble on their individual design instincts. "What we'd like to see is a house that reflects the people who live in it, their idiosyncrasies as well as their passions. Not a copy of a house in California or Morocco or one that was recently published in Elle Decoration."
It's not surprising, then, that each of the three women lives in the sort of Beirut house that one rarely sees the inside of any more, brimming with history and intimations of what's being lost in the name of development. With its high, arched ceilings and traditional layout, Chekerdjian's home has done more than provide the family with a change of scenery. "The living space is in the middle and the rooms all around it," she says, "so if you want to go from one room to another, you have to pass through the living room. It's a beautiful thing. It creates something new in your family, another way of living. You always have to stop in the middle of the house and say 'hi' to someone."
Chekerdjian's handpicked furnishings work in unexpected ways with the space and Debs's painstaking and judicious renovations, which include terrazzo floors in the bedrooms and stone walls that have been stripped of paint. In the living room, pieces by Mario Marenco, Giò Ponti, and Børge Mogensen are mixed in with a Colombo chair and a Le Corbusier couch. Chekerdjian combined Arne Jacobsen's famous Ant chairs with a dining table from her own gallery. And against the dining room wall is a four-metre long chest of drawers – useful as a buffet – that was used, in a former life, to cut fabric in a now-defunct factory. It's a dynamic well-suited to Chekerdjian, a French-speaking Armenian Beiruti, educated in Paris and Milan, in love with the Scandinavian penchant for understatement.
Unlike Gemmayze, Zkak el Blat, the birthplace of acclaimed Lebanese singer Fairouz and the neighbourhood where Hibri now lives, has seen very little investment and upkeep. Hibri's house, like most in the area, is worse for wear. "It's changed hands several times in its 100-year existence," says Hibri, "including housing, at one point, the British Consul and, during the Lebanese civil war, at least a dozen families of refugees." Today, it holds what she calls her "coups de coeur", a piecemeal collection of objects that tell the story of her family: "Victorian lace curtains, a church bench, a battered but delicate green sofa that I dare not reupholster, and ... a psychedelic electric teeter-totter [see-saw] that my son rescued from a rundown theme park."
And Baroudi, who enjoys the good fortune of living in one of Beirut's last remaining habitable art-deco apartments, built in 1939, can't help but feel sentimental about the things in her home, the way they connect her to the past few tumultuous decades, such as the paintings she and her husband bought during a period of constant shelling in 1986. Baroudi grew up in the southern seaside town of Saida and moved to Beirut at the age of 17, when Beirut's reputation was not unlike what it is now: "Fun – within a framework of war."
But Baroudi, like most Lebanese, is wary of things continuing as they have been going. "I live on a street that used to be all turn-of-the-century houses. One after another I've witnessed the destruction and thereafter construction of monstrous buildings that have replaced old jewels." And while the Bokja ethos is fuelled by its founders' talent for spotting humour in disheartening surroundings, Baroudi and Hibri confess that they must "choose to have a selective memory and vision."
Debs, familiar as he is to the obstacles facing anyone who attempts to preserve what remains of the Paris of the East, finds little to be optimistic about. "Within 20 years, maybe less," he says, "Beirut's heritage will have completely disappeared."

Jays' rotation thrown a curve again
Posted By Amanda Tallon On Jun 14 2012 @ 12:37 am In Toronto Blue Jays | No Comments
Over the first two months of this season, the Jays' starting rotation was keeping them in games. Starters were pitching late into games, keeping opponents off the bases (mostly) and were making up for the lackluster hitting and underwhelming bullpen.
Heading into this season, manager John Farrell wanted to see his starters go later into games, as that had been a weakness of the rotation in 2011. Of late, the young staff is having a mixture of issues that has seen their collective E.R.A., homeruns allowed and opponent batting average go up while the number of innings pitched per game has gone down.
On the heels of Brandon Morrow's move to the 15 day DL with a left oblique strain, the last thing the Jays needed was another starter going down to injury.
Trying to avoid being swept by the Nationals on Wednesday, Toronto was in for a tough game as Stephen Strasburg made his debut north of the border. Kyle Drabek took the mound for the Jays, but managed to only pitch four and one third innings before being removed from the game for precautionary reasons. Drabek left in a 1-1 count to Michael Morse in the 5th inning, saying he felt a pop at the back of his pitching elbow.
Drabek past the exams performed during the game and will be re-evaluated later this week. Hopes are high that he'll be able to avoid the disabled list, but only time will tell. Drabek told the media post-game that the sensation was nothing like his injury that required Tommy John surgery in 2007, but it was "pretty frightening."
In the end, the Jays were swept in three games by the Nationals, losing 6-2. The loss moved them below .500 for the first time all season.
After an off-day Thursday, the Jays will host a three game series against the Philadelphia Phillies starting Friday. Vance Worley (3-2) will start for the Phillies, as Drew Hutchinson (5-3) will look to get the Jays' back to .500.

Evergreen's historic bell tower is getting a much-needed makeover, and it should be standing sentry over the east end of downtown by the end of the week.
The nonprofit HistoriCorps brought staff and volunteers to work on the tower, which is part of the historic buildings on the Church of the Transfiguration property. The tower is 115 years old, and it was restored in 1979 by the U.S. Army Reserves, but weather exposure slowly rots the wood, and church officials were afraid the tower might fall.
Bogart the mammoth donkey has a new lease on life thanks to the efforts of a West Jefferson Middle School seventh-grader and the kind-hearted staff at Colorado Horse Rescue.
Bogart was at a feedlot waiting to be sent to a slaughterhouse when 12-year-old Klaire Funderburgh fell in love with the gentle giant.
"She kept saying, 'Mom, I can't let him be killed. I have to save him,' " said Klaire's mother, Kristin Manley.
Classic musicals stand the test of time because they have simple story lines, laugh-inducing scripts, and music that sticks with audiences long after the curtain falls. "Anything Goes" is a celebration of the great American musical and one of its greatest composers, Cole Porter. The latest production of this time-honored show, presented by StageDoor Theatre's high school company, offers a fresh take on this 80-year-old theatrical gem.
Surrounded by artists who moved to the mountains for inspiration, art lovers are treated to beautiful canvases filled with golden aspen and photographs of elk in mist-covered meadows. But when the Evergreen Artists Association's fall show opened Sept. 26, the concept of "mountain aesthetic" was redefined. The EAA's fall exhibition is the largest juried show in the recent history of the organization and displays works from 125 artists throughout Colorado.
It's definitely not traditional stained glass, and it's really not traditional public art, either.
Instead, it's a long roller-coaster-like ribbon of steel with attached bicycle wheels that are filled with stained glass. The 16-foot sculpture is the creation of Creative Stained Glass Studio, and it will be on its way to Kennesaw, Ga., to be installed in the atrium at AMLI Residential.
You never know what message the sign at the Indian Hills Community Center might offer. But one thing is certain: It draws the attention of motorists on Parmalee Gulch Road.
Some of the weekly slogans are funny; others are thought-provoking riddles. And a few have created quite a stir.
"I try to keep something up there that will make people smile," says Indian Hills resident Vince Rozmiarek, who places the weekly messages on the sign. "I've adopted it. It's really fun."
"This is full of spectacular-ness!" exclaimed Sue Comer as she walked through stands of aspen glowing with fall color last Thursday afternoon.
Comer had traveled from Loveland to a scenic overlook on Highway 103 where many people were gazing in awe at golden-leaved trees in the bright sunshine. The changing aspen also created bright patterns of color in the distant hills, which leaf-gazers were enjoying along with mature aspen they could walk up to and photograph.
Don't let the title fool you. "Strangers, Lovers and the Winds of Time" by Evergreen author Dale Lovin is far from a romance novel.
Lovin's second published work is a gritty, compelling portrait of white supremacists and their devastated victims. Written as a suspense novel interwoven with factual accounts of high-profile incidents, the book contains tales of past and present evil in American society.

Basel playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri is wanted by Zenit St Petersburg, according to talkSPORT.
After a proposed move to Galatasaray fell through during the back end of the January transfer window, Shaqiri still remains hot property.
Interest from Manchester United has been consistent, however, with the window now close, Russian side Zenit look to swoop.
The transfer window in Russia doesn't close until February 24, leaving Zenit free to sign the Swiss international without United ambushing the deal.
A fee of around £15 million has been mentioned in relation to Shaqiri, who helped knock United out of the Champions League before Christmas.
Victory over United on match-day six of the Champions League group stage, which saw Shaqiri set up the winning goal that consigned Sir Alex Ferguson's win
That performance, as well as his stunning maiden international goal against England in a Euro 2012, has sparked interest from United, who kept quiet in the transfer window.

Submission + - Australia is one step closer to R18+ video games (news.com.au)
Benaiah writes: Australia is one step closer to getting an R18+ rating for video games following the resignation of South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson. He suffered a smashing 14.3% swing against him in the recent election and has decided to step down to allow "renewal" in the Government's leadership. He has repeatedly used his veto power to prevent Australia from having an R18+ rating on games and as such big title games such as Fallout 3, Aliens vs Predator and Left4Dead 2 have been banned or censored.

Why should women who are nearing menopause be concerned about the new report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies about intakes of calcium and vitamin D? Well, let's start with kidney stones.
The IOM report's authors noted that postmenopausal women who are taking calcium supplements may be consuming too much calcium, which increases their risk for kidney stones. Vitamin D consumption is more complicated. "While the average total intake of vitamin D is below the median requirement, national surveys show that average blood levels of vitamin D are above the 20 nanograms per milliliter that the IOM committee found to be the level that is needed for good bone health for practically all individuals," the report authors stated. "These seemingly inconsistent data suggest that sun exposure currently contributes meaningful amounts of vitamin D to North Americans and indicates that a majority of the population is meeting its needs for vitamin D. Nonetheless, some groups – particularly those who are older and living in institutions or who have dark skin pigmentation – may be at increased risk for getting too little vitamin D."
So what should you be aiming for? The Institute now recommends that most adults take 600 international units of vitamin D a day while adults over 70 need 800 international units. While that's more than the previous recommendation of 400 units for people over 50, it is much less than the daily doses of 1,000 to 4,000 units that advocates often suggest, according to a story by NPR's Richard Knox. As far as calcium is concerned, adults up to age 50 need 1,000 milligrams daily. However, once women reach 51 years of age, they need to get 1,200 milligrams daily.
The committee set an upper level intake for both calcium (2,500 IU for women ages 31-50 and 2,000 IU for women 51-70) and vitamin D (4000 IU), but noted that this information should not be misunderstood as a target that people should strive to consume. "While these values vary somewhat by age…the committee concludes that once intakes of vitamin D surpass 4,000 IUs per day, the risk for harm begins to increase," the report authors wrote. "Once intakes surpass 2,000 milligrams per day for calcium, the risk for harm also increases."
NPR's Knox explained, "The Institute of Medicine experts worry that taking vitamin D in large doses over a long period might harm some people. The evidence is inconclusive, but the panel points to studies hinting at higher levels of pancreatic and esophageal cancer. Panelists say there's reason to worry about excess deposits of calcium in arteries from too much vitamin D." A New York Times story reported an additional warning that high levels of vitamin D can increase the risk for bone fractures and the overall death rate. "While those studies are not conclusive, any risk looms large when there is no demonstrable benefit," New York Times report Gina Kolata wrote.

This press release was provided by the Cherry Hill Healthand Raquet Club. The Club Industry editorial staff was not involved in the creation of this content.
To combat current trends of obesity and lack of activity in American teens, Cherry Hill Health & Racquet Club (CHHRC) once again opened its doors to local teens as part of its annual program, the Teen Fitness Connection.
As a partner with the Cherry Hill Township Mayor's Wellness Campaign, the program began on July 1, 2013 and ended on August 31, 2013. Local teens aged 12-17 were offered a complimentary membership. Teens could utilize all fitness equipment as well as participate in CHHRC's popular Group Exercise classes. As part of their membership agreement, teens were able to check into the club any weekday morning and leave by 4:30 pm each day, and at any time on Saturday and Sunday.
NEW for summer 2013, we offered an incentive for Cherry Hill students attending East, West, Beck, Carusi, and Rosa. For every child that joined the program and utilized their membership 16 times (2 x per week,) CHHRC would donate $20 to the Cherry Hill Education Foundation (CHEF) for that child's Phys. Ed department, on behalf of that child! Also, an additional GRAND PRIZE of $250 would be awarded to the Cherry Hill school Phys. Ed. department (via CHEF) with the most kids that enrolled, activated, and utilized their memberships during the span of our 2013 Teen Fitness Connection. *The base qualifier for a school was a minimum of 20 teens for a school to qualify for the $250 prize.
The winner of this year's GRAND PRIZE is Cherry Hill High School West, with a total number of 22 students enrolled in the Teen Fitness Connection program. A whopping 184 teens from throughout the local area participated in the program, and 40% of participants averaged one visit a week or more!
The Teen Fitness Connection program is part of a continuous effort by CHHRC to expose kids to healthy lifestyles and to change the direction of teen fitness and health in our community. "Our club staff is extremely excited about this community teen program. Our hope is for teens to get active every summer, and continue to experience the health benefits of exercise year-round." states CHHRC General Manager Brian Kosa. "With the support of the CHEF, we plan to increase our involvement from the Cherry Hill schools, and tap into our teachers, administration, and counselors to motivate our teens and get the word out."
For more information about the program at CHHRC, call the club at 856-429-1388, or to pre-register, log on to http://chhrc.com/teenfitness

FinePix F100fd Packs 12MP Super CCD, ISO Equivalency Speeds
Up To 12800 and Face Detection Technology 3.0
Valhalla, N.Y., January 24, 2008 – Following the long line of award-winning F-Series models, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc., today announced its latest and greatest, the FinePix F100fd digital camera.
Combining a 12-MegaPixel, 8th Generation Super CCD with a powerful Fujinon 5.0x wide angle optical zoom lens and a 2.7″ high-resolution 230,000 pixel wide angle view LCD, the FinePix F100fd is among Fujifilm's finest compact digital cameras. As with previous F-Series models such as the FinePix F31, F40fd and F50fd, the F100fd is a powerful, feature-packed compact digital camera aimed at consumers looking for something well above the average model. It offers the most advanced technologies available, including Wide Dynamic Range, Dual Image Stabilization, Face Detection 3.0 Technology with an Automatic Red Eye Removal function and ISO settings of up to an unprecedented ISO 12800 – so missing great shots is not an option.
"The FinePix F100fd demonstrates how consumers can ultimately benefit from Fujifilm's investment in professional photography," said David Troy, senior product manager, Consumer Digital Cameras, Electronic Imaging Division, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. "The features packed into this camera like ISO ranges and wide dynamic ranges are unprecedented for a compact consumer model – they first appeared in our Professional line. Combine these advances with our new Face Detection 3.0's faster, 360 degree detection range and Dual Image Stabilization and you have the ultimate consumer digital photography experience."
Wide Dynamic Range
Dynamic Range, or the gradations of light that exist between bright and dark in any setting, can be easily detected by the human eye, but not by most cameras. Fujifilm expanded dynamic range capture functionality on the professional imaging side with its FinePix S3 Pro digital camera. The technology, now perfected in the FinePix S5 Pro camera, has been brought to the consumer in the FinePix F100fd. Through a combination of advances in Fujifilm's new Super CCD HR VIII and RP (Real Photo) Processor III, this wide dynamic range dramatically broadens tonal capability and guarantees exceptional rendition of photos with both bright highlights and dark shadows. This expansion of sensitivity captures greater detail, and subtle nuances of brightness and tonality that bring the photo closer to what the human eye actually sees.
Faster Face Detection 3.0
The FinePix F100fd is also equipped with Fujifilm's proprietary Face Detection 3.0 Technology featuring Automatic Red Eye Removal. As with the original version of Face Detection, it can detect up to 10 human faces in a scene in as little as .036 seconds, automatically correcting focus, exposure, and white balance, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. Now, however, the FinePix F100fd is able to identify faces at much more extreme camera angles than before. The camera can register faces with up to 90O movement in either direction for profiles, and up to 360O. After the shot is taken, it instantly corrects red eye and then saves both the original and the corrected image file…automatically
The FinePix F100fd features Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilization mode which combines a mechanically stabilized Super CCD sensor with high ISO sensitivities for total anti-blur protection. The combination of these technologies reduces the "blur" effect from the photographer's hand-shake and subject movement even further to provide the highest quality digital pictures yet, with sharp, clean and clear results. Thanks to the 8th generation FinePix Super CCD-HR chip and the RP Processor III, the Finepix F100fd can utilize ISO settings of up to ISO 3200 at full resolution and an amazing ISO 12800 at reduced resolution1, capturing stunning images even in low light while preserving the natural color and clarity of the shot.
In addition to these advances, the FinePix F100fd possesses a number of other impressive features:
- Dual Image Stabilization: Combines mechanical image stabilization with the effects produced with higher ISO.
- Continuous Shooting: Top/Final 3 at 1.7 frames per second at full resolution and Top/Final 12 at 5 frames per second at 3-MegaPixels.
- High Speed Playback: No waiting for high resolution images to load during play back. The FinePix F100fd can display images at full resolution at 10 frames per second.
- Portrait Enhancer Mode: Mimicking a professional photo studio setting, by using Face Detection and preset camera settings, Portrait Enhancer minimizes fine lines and small skin blemishes for smooth, natural looking portraits.
- Dual Shot Mode: In this selectable mode, the FinePix F100fd quickly shoots two images in rapid succession – one with the flash and one without – and saves both. This convenient function lets users perform a comparison at their convenience and select the most pleasing image.
- Special Scene: The FinePix F100fd has 16 pre-programmed scenes, including a special underwater scene mode for use with a special underwater casing. Also, a Blog mode that automatically reduces the size of copied images for easy posting to a blog, Web page or email attachment.
- Micro Thumbnail: A playback feature that allows for viewing an index-style print on the LCD. The FinePix F100fd will show up to 100 images in micro form, then the control buttons are used to select specific images. An innovative wheel navigation dial makes it easy to quickly find a single image by being able to jump to particular segments of images in the time sequence.
- IrSimple™: Infrared communication via IrSimple™ technology for fast, easy wireless image transfer to a compatible device.
- xD / SD / SD-HC Compatible slot: The FinePix F100fd features a "xD/SD Compatible slot" which accepts not only Fujifilm's traditional xD-Picture Cards but also Secure Digital (SD) and SD-High Capacity/SD-HC cards too.
The FinePix F100fd will debut in March 2008 at a retail price of $379.95.

The Peavey PXD Tragic IV was announced in August of last year. The announcement marked the first time that Peavey's PXD series was made available to bass players, and I've got to say that I was pretty keen to get my hands on one.
The specs have changed a little bit since the original press release was sent out by Peavey; I would have been interested to see what the bass sounded like with an Alder body and an Ebony fretboard. As it stands, the bass has a Basswood/Maple body, and a Rosewood fretboard.
My first impression of the bass is that the neck plays really well. I actually play a short-scale Hofner bass, because for me that feels more like playing an electric guitar, but the 34'' scale neck on the Tragic IV is fast and smooth. In terms of playability, your left hand is going to have a good time of things. If you play with your fingers (which is what I usually prefer to do) then the string spacing towards the bridge feels a bit wider than the average bass guitar, but you soon get accustomed to this.
So let's talk tone, because that's probably what most people are wanting to know. The range of tones available on the Tragic IV is impressive, this is mainly down to Peavey's truly awesome VFL active pickups. The VFLs are so hot, they kick out a signal hotter than Io's volcanoes. I'm not complaining though, this is a really great feature for this bass. It really is geared towards metal heads, if you want to get involved in the frequencies of a mix usually neglected by metal guitarists, then you can do this with the beautiful mid-range of the VFLs.
I managed to get a good jazz sound, a convincing post-punk sound, funk tone, a plethora of tones for prog and metal, and even a good bit of slap bass goes down well on the Tragic IV. Of course, if you turned up to a jazz gig with this bass, you would probably be asked to leave the establishment immediately, so I'm just going to stick to metal capabilities.
There is enough bottom end on the bass to rattle people's rib cages, and this is not hyperbole. We had our combo at super quiet volumes and it was still vibrating the fixtures in our studio, you can also clearly pick out the lower mid-range, so the audience aren't going to just hear the bass as a general wall of farty mess in the mix – as is the standard for some venues. The reason I'm talking about EQ so much is because you have a 3-band EQ built into the bass, such is the glory of active pickups. You have a 10dB cut or boost on the bass, mid and treble.
Basically, it's enough cut and boost to give you a great deal of freedom. The Basswood side-wings and through-body Maple neck really compliment the whole set up in terms of frequency range. It is rare that I am so impressed by an instrument, I usually always find something to moan about... oh wait, now I remember, it looks a bit like it should be hanging in a 14-year-old's bedroom. I wouldn't be surprised if Sauron played this bass with his merry backing band of Orcs.
If you are 14, or if you want to look like a member of KISS, then this bass really is going to perfect for you. You aren't going to find many better sounding basses for the price, so if you dig the look, then by all means you should purchase it soon.
With the particular model we were reviewing, there really weren't any problems. I wouldn't recommend it to people with small hands, and I wouldn't recommend it to people who aren't in a metal band or a prog band. If you want it for recording, then it records really well, even if you are just using the DI signal.
If you add some fuzz, it sounds insane. There are enough grounds to actually get this bass sectioned while using fuzz. Other nice features are the pickup blend, along with the EQ you really are spoilt for choice in terms of tone. Generally this is a really great bass guitar, and I would expect it to cost a lot more money that it does. I would happily use it to record material for my band's next album, in that respect it really does run any other bass I own into the ground (and I do own a more expensive Peavey bass, but I won't mention which one)
Please note that you will need a decent amp for this bass, preferably with a separate input for active pickups, otherwise you might get some clipping and speaker fluff from the molten hot signal.
Available in White, Red and Black gloss finish.
