Hello! My name is Ellie Wu. I'm Taiwanese-American from New York City. I love to travel and run cross country. I grew up going to my local elementary school and local high school, so the Academy was definitely outside of the little "box" I called my life. During the college decision process, I was looking at a lot of the private colleges, but I didn't know what I wanted to major in or what I wanted to do with my life just yet. The Coast Guard Academy really attracted me because it gave me a sense of direction and purpose. So far, I love the Academy. It can get challenging, but it's so rewarding to be able to end each day feeling accomplished.
Outside of the Academy, I love hiking, spontaneous adventures, running with dandelions seeds in my hands, baking Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies in the wintertime, ice-skating, stargazing (if there were any stars visible in New York City), watching Disney movies, drinking bubble tea, and I think I can live off of just eating Italian food or sushi.
If you have any questions about the Academy feel free to email me at email@example.com. I would absolutely love to help and I hope you enjoy my journals!

Louisiana Tech Bowling Travels to Smyrna for the Columbia 300 Music City Classic March 14, 2012 RUSTON, La. - The Louisiana Tech bowling team (29-36) returns to action Friday as Tech travels to Smyrna, Tenn. to compete in the Columbia 300 Music City Classic March 16-18. The Lady Techsters face a difficult schedule as the 20-team field includes seven of the top-10 teams in the nation and 16 of the top-20 teams according to the National Tenpin Coaches Association Poll. Top-ranked Fairleigh Dickinson, second-ranked Sacred Heart, third-ranked Valparaiso and fourth-ranked Arkansas State are among the teams competing in the Music City Classic. Other teams competing include sixth-ranked Central Missouri, seventh-ranked Vanderbilt, eighth-ranked Nebraska, ninth-ranked Sam Houston State, 10th-ranked Stephen F. Austin, 12th-ranked New Jersey City, 14th-ranked Kutztown, 15th-ranked Wisconsin Whitewater, 16th-ranked Adelphi, 17th-ranked Alabama A&M, 18th-ranked Monmouth and 19th-ranked Saint Francis. "This is the last tournament of our season and the toughest tournament of the year," said coach Shawn Jackson. "It's the tournament that you hope you're most prepared for so we are looking forward to it. We have two seniors (Houston Granger and Amy Day) that have done great things in four years for the program so I expect them to show up big in their last tournament." Tech last played on Feb. 3-5 in the Prairie View A&M Invitational. The Lady Techsters upset then top-ranked Valparaiso, 4-1, in a baker best-of-seven and finished the tournament in 12th place. Granger leads the Lady Techsters with a 188.0 pinfall average through 23 games while three other players have pinfall averages of over 180, Kayla Ghersini (186.0), Elizabeth Eldredge (182.9) and Kay Rawls (181.4).

Jaleel White and partner Kym Johnson got their groove back with a crowd-pleasing cha cha on Dancing with the Stars Monday – but some other contestants struggled to keep up with the competition.
Finding themselves in the bottom two once again, Roshon Fegan and partner Chelsie Hightower lacked sex appeal with their 23-point rumba. Meanwhile, Gladys Knight and partner Tristan MacManus scored an underwhelming 21 points for their rumba.
Keep reading to find out which pair bid adieu to the dance floor Tuesday night …

Gladys and Tristan are heading home.
The singer and her partner faced off in a dance duel with Roshon and Chelsie. After both couples performed a jive, the judges voted. Although Carrie Ann Inaba chose to save Gladys, both Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli picked Roshon.
"I am just so amazed at this journey. It's been absolutely extraordinary. I learned so many things … I'm just overjoyed," Gladys said after hearing the news that her time on the show had ended.
Of the remaining contestants, who'll be back on Monday to perform once again, she added, "They are already stepping up way, way, way beyond anything that's ever been on this show."

It's no secret that we're loving "The Vampire Diaries'" Season 2 werewolf journey, so when we found ourselves a little mad at Tyler (Michael Trevino) after some baffling behavior in last week's episode, we turned to executive producer Julie Plec for a little guidance.
Plec assures us that while Tyler definitely screwed up when he hesitated to take Caroline's side in the vampires vs. wolves showdown, he's not all bad. "You have to remember that he's also a victim," she says. "For a guy not used to understanding his own emotions — between the way he was raised and the relationship with his dad and just being kind of a macho testosterone-driven dude — he's confused. He's kind of lost. It's all part of his journey."
Tyler and Caroline (Candice Accola) have gone from acquaintances who barely tolerated each other to one of our favorite "Vampire Diaries" love stories ever, but after Tyler's wolf friends captured and tortured her in last week's episode, it's hard to imagine these two will have a happy Valentine's Day.
"They have a long road ahead of them, for sure," Plec tells us. "Caroline is someone who gives pretty powerfully with her heart and her trust, and she feels like her friendship was betrayed, but on the other hand, Tyler feels exactly the same way. Here's a guy who isn't used to caring about people and who isn't used to people caring about him. So in a way, his betrayal hurts just as deep."
All hope isn't lost for these two crazy kids to make it work, but they'll have to rebuild their wrecked friendship before there's any more making out under the porch light. With Tyler as a werewolf and Caroline as a vampire, their natural instincts and the curses they're both plagued with are working against their friendship. Let's just say that things are going to get a lot more difficult before they get any easier.
"They both have been through – and are about to go through – some fairly traumatizing experiences," Plec says. "The show is all about people coming to see the other side of the person in their life. To say they'll never work it out would be tragically unfair. I absolutely think there's hope."
In the meantime, Tyler does have another full moon creeping up on him. "Homeboy does not want to have to transform," Plec laughs. Once Tyler learns that the moonstone is the key to breaking the curse… along with a bloody sacrifice, of course, he'll have some big choices to make.
"He's definitely going to try to prevent the transformation from happening," Plec says. "Tyler is about to make some decisions that aren't going to be very popular. You'll understand, but you're not going to like it."
Cue ominous music here.
While Tyler is off making unfortunate choices… Matt (Zach Roerig) is still at the Grill, wiping down counter tops and hovering in the background while Damon and Alaric plot their next adventures.
In case we haven't made it abundantly clear, we've been jonesing for a good Matt story line… so we're psyched to hear that Plec has some very good news for us.
"We're about to dive deep into Matt-world," she confirms.
Caroline may have to answer some questions… finally.
"Matt's been kind of busing tables on the sidelines for a good portion of this season, trying to understand what's going on in this non-relationship with this girl that he cares about but doesn't understand," Plec says. "We're about to really heat that up and have him start asking a lot more questions. He's really trying to get to the bottom of Caroline's feelings for him and where he wants to them to be as a couple."
Now that Tyler's in the doghouse, Matt and Caroline may have another chance at a real relationship. "In the last episode before we go away for hiatus, there's a really great Matt and Caroline moment that I think will make you very happy," Plec says.
Of course, with "The Vampire Diaries," things are never quite that easy. Keep an eye out for a powerful scene between Matt and Tyler in Thursday's Feb. 10 episode, "Crying Wolf." The stakes in this love triangle have definitely been raised.
Stay tuned to Zap2it for more from Plec on Damon's demons, possible trouble on the way for Elena and Stefan, and some scoop on what's up with Bonnie… coming your way soon.

Okay Hasbro, in 2006 (and presumably, all of 2007), you've gone through the tedious process of releasing movie-specific waves.
TSC Wave 1-Return of the Jedi
TSC Wave 2-The Empire Strikes Back
TSC Wave 3-Attack of the Clones
TSC Wave 4-Revenge of the Sith
and it continues with the 30th Anniversary Collection
TAC Wave 1-Revenge of the Sith
TAC Wave 2-A New Hope
I feel that it's getting kind of boring. Plus, with waves for ESB where you've already produced most of the characters from the movie, you're looking at a lot of unnecessary repacks. I think you guys should go back to the Power of the Jedi or Saga days where you would release figures from any of the six films in one wave. After the 30th Anniversary Collection, you could have waves with at least one figure from each movie, with an EU figure sprinkled here and there to keep all the fans happy. It would also prove a good outlet to produce more TPM and AOTC figures that would take longer to produce if you continue the movie-specific waves. I was disappointed this year with your AOTC wave. Only two new figures from the movie, where it was a great opportunity to produce a Senator Padme or a Lars family. If you go back to POTJ-style waves, these figures could be released in three waves or less. I feel it would be easier to go back to waves featuring figures from the entire saga. Thanks for listening.

A frantic scramble to have all its B.C. candidates in place by the middle of the week has cost the federal Conservatives at least one hopeful and caused another to bemoan the lack of time to campaign.
"The process is certainly quicker than desirable," said candidate Ernie Charlton, as he mounted an 11th-hour phone drive to rally support ahead of the party's hastily called nomination meeting Monday evening in the riding of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon.
"No one would think that this reflects well on the democratic process."
With barely more than a week between calling the meeting and the actual vote, there was almost no time for candidates to meet constituents, said Mr. Charlton, a former riding executive.
Even his nomination just barely scraped in ahead of last Friday's deadline, set at 5 p.m., Ottawa time.
Jason Cox was not so fortunate. Federal party officials rejected his nomination to seek the party nod in Okanagan-Coquihalla because it came in late.
"The paperwork didn't arrive in time. It got stuck somewhere," said Mr. Cox, a former Conservative riding president.
"I had to drop everything for three days to send it off, but the fates decided my package wouldn't sail with luckier stars, I guess, so I'm out. I'm disappointed. The timeline was extremely difficult to meet."
The mad dash to have candidates in place was set off by the March 12 announcement that three long-time, prominent Tory incumbents would not seek re-election, coupled with the prospect of an election resulting from the Conservatives losing a budget confidence vote later this week.
"It was not a local decision. The national party makes the rules," said Matthew Barker, chairman of the Chilliwack riding's candidate committee. "They wanted things expedited."
Menno Froese, B.C. representative on the Conservatives' National Council, said party organizers wanted Tory candidates chosen in all 36 B.C. ridings by the time Tuesday's federal budget is brought down.
All three main federal parties agree this province will be a pivotal battleground in the next election. The Conservatives hope to boost their number of B.C. seats to 27 from 22, enough to help put them over the top to form a majority government.
Party nomination meetings were scheduled Monday night to replace retiring Transport Minister Chuck Strahl (Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon) and outspoken Conservative backbencher John Cummins (Delta-Richmond East).
Mr. Strahl's 32-year-old son Mark ran against Mr. Charlton to carry the Conservative standard in Chilliwack, while four candidates were in the running to succeed Mr. Cummins in Delta-Richmond East.
When the ballots were tablulated Monday night, the younger Mr. Strahl secured the nomination, and will now run to succeed his father as Conservative MP for the riding.
Delta school board chair Dale Saip won the nomination battle to run for the Tories in Mr. Cummins' riding.
In Okanagan-Coquihalla, where Treasury Board president Stockwell Day is stepping down, separate meetings are to be held Tuesday in Merritt and Penticton to select a replacement from among three local Conservative aspirants.
By the end of the day, Mr. Froese said the Tories will be short a candidate in one riding, Vancouver Centre. That's where Rachel Greenfeld recently resigned because she said she would not agree with a request from party officials to commit to run in two consecutive elections.
"We're ready to go," Mr. Froese said. "Some candidates have already rented offices and put in phone banks."
Glen Sanford, B.C. campaign manager for the NDP, said the New Democrats have nominated candidates in 32 ridings so far.
The federal Liberals also have 32 candidates in place.
In the 2008 election, Conservatives took 22 seats in B.C., the NDP nine and Liberals five.

I think it would be nice, with all the mac users on here, to have a thread to discuss Apple's upcoming operating system. I don't really need to post a lot here in terms of features that we know about for sure like "spaces" and Time Machine. I would like to discuss what most excites you. Or why you don't think you'll upgrade (ludicrous). Please, Windows users let's not flame this thread, if you don't care for Mac just go be gay somewhere else (jk). but really please be kind. I will start this off with a question: Has anybody heard anything about an update to the current gui (aqua I believe it's called) I'm hoping there is some cool new effects and new themes to choose from. I recently installed beryl on my fedora 7 and that thing blows my mind, btw works fantastic on my 1.83 ghz dual core macbook. Let me know all the juicy rumors.
no new GUI as far as i know, probabl a few minor updates, with improvements to spotlight, and finder.
I guess I'm just pumped up from using beryl and wishing something like that would come to mac. Core Animation looks promising, I know it's not explicitly for animating windows but they use it for spaces and time machine and the whole point of core animation is to make animations easy to build. If they succeed I'm hoping we see some nice third party plugins for window animations. I hope all of that makes sense. Update: Apple's homepage now has a tour of leopard, and for all of you that said no new gui, you were partially wrong. Check it out when you have the chance and discuss.

SCHOOL GUARD FIGHTING FOR LIFEA security guard who has for the past two years...secured the lives of pupils and teachers at Grovesnor Presbyterian School in Coal Mine, Sangre Grande...is now left fighting for his own life. The man was brutally chopped by AN intruder on the school compound and is warded in the Intensive Care Unit of Port of Spain General Hospital. Between late November of 20-11 and the 25th of this month...there've been six major incidents of violence, vandalism and robbery at the school. For the teachers, pupils and their parents....the attack on the security guard is the last straw. They want assurances of extra security or children will stay away from school. |

Ads like this will be the hallmark of the 2014 elections. Someone I saw on TV described the Republican Shutdown as the equivalent of a child who throws a temper tantrum in public – the only way to deal with them is to say, "Calm down, and maybe we can discuss what's bothering you later."
"Speaker Boehner didn't get his way and so, like a child, he threw a Tea Party-inspired temper tantrum and shut down the federal government," said Andy Stone, communications director of House Majority PAC. "The American people are sick and tired of the intransigence and manufactured crises that have become all too common from Speaker Boehner and the House Republicans. Speaker Boehner should stop playing politics, end the nonsense and finally focus on the real-life consequences his government shutdown has caused Americans."
The group has launched a six-figure ad campaign in the districts of the nine Republican members it's targeting in the 2014 elections: Gary Miller (Calif.), Mike Coffman (Colo.), Rodney Davis (Ill.), Mike Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Michael Grimm (N.Y.), Joe Heck (Nev.), Dave Joyce (Ohio), John Kline (Minn.) and Steve Southerland (Fla.).

And I admire Rembrandt too much not to realise the beauty that can be derived from frequenting the synagogue.
Secessionism splits people into parts, artificially separating the voting booth from the synagogue pew.
Some founded a synagogue in Recife, Brazil (now in ruins), then fanned out throughout the Caribbean.
Chief among them is Rabbi David Kirshner of Temple Emanuel, a conservative Jewish synagogue in the area.
The Prophet Elisha, who allegedly built the synagogue, was said to have anointed King Hazael on its steps, now gone.
Damascus contains a Mohammedan mosque, called "the synagogue of Damascus," a building of unequalled magnificence.
The synagogue has nothing to offer to the faithful which he cannot find in his own tent.
As he returns home from the synagogue on the Sabbath eve, every man is accompanied by two angels, one good, the other evil.
My mother calls me for the third time to go with my father to the synagogue.
The pleasure ship was a synagogue, and the pleasure trip was a funeral excursion without a corpse.
late 12c., from Old French sinagoge (11c.), from Late Latin synagoga "congregation of Jews," from Greek synagoge "place of assembly, synagogue," literally "meeting, assembly," from synagein "to gather, assemble," from syn- "together" (see syn-) + agein "bring, lead" (see act). Used by Greek translators of the Old Testament as a loan-translation of late Hebrew keneseth "assembly" (cf. beth keneseth "synagogue," literally "house of assembly.")
In Judaism, a house of worship and learning; also, the congregation that meets there.
(Gr. sunagoge, i.e., "an assembly"), found only once in the Authorized Version of Ps. 74:8, where the margin of Revised Version has "places of assembly," which is probably correct; for while the origin of synagogues is unknown, it may well be supposed that buildings or tents for the accommodation of worshippers may have existed in the land from an early time, and thus the system of synagogues would be gradually developed. Some, however, are of opinion that it was specially during the Babylonian captivity that the system of synagogue worship, if not actually introduced, was at least reorganized on a systematic plan (Ezek. 8:1; 14:1). The exiles gathered together for the reading of the law and the prophets as they had opportunity, and after their return synagogues were established all over the land (Ezra 8:15; Neh. 8:2). In after years, when the Jews were dispersed abroad, wherever they went they erected synagogues and kept up the stated services of worship (Acts 9:20; 13:5; 17:1; 17:17; 18:4). The form and internal arrangements of the synagogue would greatly depend on the wealth of the Jews who erected it, and on the place where it was built. "Yet there are certain traditional pecularities which have doubtless united together by a common resemblance the Jewish synagogues of all ages and countries. The arrangements for the women's place in a separate gallery or behind a partition of lattice-work; the desk in the centre, where the reader, like Ezra in ancient days, from his 'pulpit of wood,' may 'open the book in the sight of all of people and read in the book of the law of God distinctly, and give the sense, and cause them to understand the reading' (Neh. 8:4, 8); the carefully closed ark on the side of the building nearest to Jerusalem, for the preservation of the rolls or manuscripts of the law; the seats all round the building, whence 'the eyes of all them that are in the synagogue' may 'be fastened' on him who speaks (Luke 4:20); the 'chief seats' (Matt. 23:6) which were appropriated to the 'ruler' or 'rulers' of the synagogue, according as its organization may have been more or less complete;", these were features common to all the synagogues. Where perfected into a system, the services of the synagogue, which were at the same hours as those of the temple, consisted, (1) of prayer, which formed a kind of liturgy, there were in all eighteen prayers; (2) the reading of the Scriptures in certain definite portions; and (3) the exposition of the portions read. (See Luke 4:15, 22; Acts 13:14.) The synagogue was also sometimes used as a court of judicature, in which the rulers presided (Matt. 10:17; Mark 5:22; Luke 12:11; 21:12; Acts 13:15; 22:19); also as public schools. The establishment of synagogues wherever the Jews were found in sufficient numbers helped greatly to keep alive Israel's hope of the coming of the Messiah, and to prepare the way for the spread of the gospel in other lands. The worship of the Christian Church was afterwards modelled after that of the synagogue. Christ and his disciples frequently taught in the synagogues (Matt. 13:54; Mark 6:2; John 18:20; Acts 13:5, 15, 44; 14:1; 17:2-4, 10, 17; 18:4, 26; 19:8). To be "put out of the synagogue," a phrase used by John (9:22; 12:42; 16:2), means to be excommunicated.

[Verse 3 - Avant]
It feels like heaven when were off in this room together.
I Can hear the music playin, then I hear ya voice sayin,
"Ohh daddy now jus give it to me right there." "Ohh baby, Take a handfull of my hair."
Cus you like it rough (rough) cant get enough (nough).
Cus im the type of nigga thats gon fill you up, like a cup.
And make this love thing overflow,

Sheets gettin' sticky from the strawberries and whipped cream,
If these walls could talk they would say this is one hell of a scene.

Hittin it from the rear, Wanna wisper somethin in yo ear. "I'm gonna love you all night... I promise."
[Chorus - Avant]
Bedroom boom, (Bedroom boom!!)
Bedroom boom, (I can hear it baby!)
My bed will be boomin' for you, (We'll be Fuckin all night, yes..)
Bedroom boom, (Hittin yo body!)
Bedroom boom, (Like boom boom boom!)
My bed will be boomin' for you, (My bed will be shakin' til' the screws come loose, while im off in it)
[Verse 4 - D-Roc]
Boom goes the bedroom, Behind closed doors, And the bedroom depends on how far things go.
You move slow or move fast when you off in that ass, But you hittin' that mothafucker like everytime yo last.
Spread yo legs like a bald eagle, Work that back, Move like a snake when you do dat dat.
Now be quiet, You dont want them to hear us outside.
Let me get on bottom while you ride.
You hotter than an album store, Temptation got ya outta control,
Tremblin' like you
out in the cold, You screamin' you cant take it no more. Beat the pussy so bad we done fell on the flo.
(Can you believe it?) Throw our clothes in the kitchen and in the garage. All this love is waitin for you
like im El' Depoge. See my dick stay hard. (Oh) And its gon stay cocked. (Yes) If a bitch fuck wit me she gettin her cherry popped.
[Chorus - Avant]
Bedroom boom, (This is serious business, Baby)
Bedroom boom, (What goes on in this room, So what baby..)
My bed will be boomin' for you, (Say Boom! boom!)
Bedroom boom, Bedroom boom, (And it feels amazing!)

Posted on 27 Apr 2009 by Mercedes Green.
Former Missouri QB Chase Daniel signed with the Redskins after not being drafted this weekend. Daniel was a finalist in 2007 for the Heisman trophy. This gives the Redskins 4 QBs on the roster. Brian Orakpo held his first press conference moments ago. When asked how he felt about playing the Cowboys, he laughed first, then said he was "never a Cowboys fan" being from Houston....

Skins go Defense in 2009 Draft
Posted on 27 Apr 2009 by Mercedes Green.
The Redskins focused primarily on defense in this year's draft, which is not what was expected. With a struggling offense last year and a QB that needs better protection, the offensive line needed some youth.

2009 Draft Preview
Posted on 23 Apr 2009 by Mercedes Green.
Offensive lineman and defensive end tops their needs. Head Coach Jim Zorn is swearing by QB Jason Campbell, so hopefully they'll stay away from Sanchez in the first round. Offense requires an offensive tackle and either Michael Oher or Andre Smith I see for their first pick. As far as the Defense is concerned, they need another Defensive End in the 3rd round. Another pass rusher would als...

Sanchez vs Campbell – I Say Stick With Campbell
Posted on 17 Apr 2009 by Mercedes Green.
Will the Redskins try and draft USC Mark Sanchez or stick with Campbell? Yes, Jason Campbell did not have a great year, but you cannot put all of that onto the QB. A new head coach, a totally new offense, new players, mediocre offensive line, under-performing wide receivers, etc all affected his numbers, not just his passing. I really like the relationship between Campbell and Zorn. Zorn ...

text: Most people have regrets in life, and many would like to find out how things would be if they had done a few things differently, but few people ever get to do anything about it. Pamela Drury (Rachel Griffiths), however, gets just that chance. While she has a solid career as a journalist, Pamela is single and very depressed about it -- so much so that on her birthday she tries to commit suicide in her bathtub, but fails miserably. The next day Pamela spots a woman who could be her double, and she sees that she's married to Robert (David Roberts), an old flame she often wishes she had married when she had the chance 13 years earlier. After a brief encounter with her doppelganger, the other woman disappears and Pamela is mistaken for Robert's wife; she decides to go along for the ride, complete with three children and a home in the suburbs. Pamela quickly discovers that life as a housewife is not all she imagined it to be (especially cleaning up after the baby), and while Pamela has high hopes of some romantic evenings with Robert, it's obvious that the spark was smothered in this marriage some time ago. Curiously enough, Pamela now finds that her best friend is suddenly single, and Ben (Sandy Winton), a man who had shown a bit of interest in Pamela before, is now quite keen on finding out if she would cheat on her husband. This fantasy was enthusiastically received at the Telluride, Boston, and Toronto Film Festivals in 1999. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Rejuvenation is passionate about reproducing lighting and hardware from the 1890s through the 1960s, and they have been so kind as to share a sneak peek into their production process for their Galaxy chandelier, a handcrafted aluminum mid-century modern fixture.
A lot of effort goes into selecting and researching a light fixture before beginning production here in our Portland, OR factory. We strive to match or exceed the quality and craftsmanship of the originals to create a light that will last a lifetime or more. One of our latest introductions is the iconic hourglass fixture of the 1950s and 1960s. Here's a look behind the scenes:
We have an extensive archive of catalogs dating back to the 1800s that we consult regularly for inspiration. Our designers reviewed the history and lineage of hourglass fixture designs searching for the perfect look to recreate and landed on this collection originally offered by EJS Lighting in 1959.
Sometimes we're fortunate enough to find an original fixture to help in the reverse engineering process, as seen here.
Once we've decided on the light we want to make our industrial designer takes over. He did several studies to identify just the right proportions and details.
Since every light is made to order in our factory we have aisles and aisles of raw parts waiting to be picked and assembled. Once an order is received, each component needed to build it is gathered by a member of our production team.
The necessary parts are collected and placed in a tray, along with the order information and moved on to the lacquer room.
The hourglass lights are available in four finishes: Brushed Aluminum, White Enamel, Black Enamel and Bronzetone. Each cone goes through our lacquer room and is hand sprayed with a protective coat of lacquer. To achieve the Bronzetone finish the lacquer is tinted; White or Black Enamel finishes are painted prior to the lacquer being applied.
Most of our lighting is available in with incandescent bulbs or the energy efficient GU24 option which is a hardwired compact fluorescent technology.
The hourglass shape is actually two cones put together. Here, Adam — one of our master craftsmen — shows us how it's done.
Once the light is built, all of the wiring is connected and tested to ensure it meets UL standards.
After the light is completed and passes the quality test, the craftsman who built it attaches a label with his signature, and sends it on to the last step in the process. It is carefully hand-packed and shipped off to its new home.
Here you see our Galaxy chandelier and its warm starlight twinkle illuminating a dining room.

Hi will be visisting family and was wondering if there was any good tennis or if anyone 4.5 or up would like to hit?
You are a new user, so you can't send e-mails yet. I'll send one to McLovin, he lives there and might be able to hit or find you somebody to play against.
Go to Chestnut Forks: http://goo.gl/maps/OL0bGor call @ 540-347-0823 Ask for Derek (if he's around) or Seth. Derek runs the club, Seth is one of the pros (John is the head pro, but I don't know if he is around for the holidays). Just tell them you are a 4.5, are in town for a couple of days & looking to hit. I know there are a couple of college kids who are 5.0s that are back for the holidays looking to hit. I'm a 4.5 and would hit with you, but I am in Naples, FL for the holidays. Let me know if you are successful, and who you end up hitting with.
Hey thanks for the reply! Do you know how much it would cost? Do you know what colleges they come from? I for sure will keep you posted! Thanks
One plays down at CNU (Christopher Newport, near VA Beach), another for a DII school in PA (forgot the name) and another is getting his maters in Arizona, so he doesn't play for a college team, but still plays club. Also, Seth is a very strong 4.5 (probably more like a 5.0). Court fees are ~ $30/hr, depending on day/time, but there is also a $5 guest fee. Courts were resurfaced this past Sept.
His name is Harwood Hoskins. I can't remember which school he's going to, but I know it's not a major university. I believe he's going for his masters in accounting/finance (or something like that).
Ok never heard of harwood but got in a hit with seth who was pretty strong... he said he was well above 5.0 when I hit with him but I could see where he would struggle kyle tobin is the other guy? Where does he play? Never got to hit though just wondering for future
Yeah, I believe Seth is above a 5.0, but I didn't know his exact rating. We've hit many times, most of the time he wins the 1st set 6-2, then I win the 2nd 6-2. But in all honesty, that is because he's out of shape. If he's in shape, he'd win 2 & 2 most of the time. Kyle plays at CNU. I've hit with him since he was a senior in high school. He has a 'live arm', meaning he can smack the hell out of the ball. Until last year, I'd beat him 5 & 2, but this past summer he started getting the ball in more than before, and I was simply a spectator. Damn these young kids... Once you get to 50 posts, shoot me an e-mail and if you're in town again, we can get together & hit.
haha nice would you say that kyle was stronger than seth or maybe even? I will let you know if I am ever in town again and I will be working on that 50 posts also haha...
I would rank them like this: Serve: Seth (that lefty kick it killer) Forehand: Tie Backhand: Kyle Volley: Seth (although both prefer the baseline) Intangibles: Kyle If they played today, Kyle would probably win, only because he's still in college, and Seth is teaching and not playing competitively. Seth is more athletic and has more variety. Kyle has tons of talent, and I don't think I've seen a better pure ball striker come through our club, but at times he doesn't seem to have the pure desire/drive others have. But let me be clear: If both are playing regularly, they would (and in all honesty should) take me in straight sets.

The new wing looks great - nice and light and clean... I gotta get the Apogee back in build mode...
Flying tails are very effective, and if you are careful about the pivot location, they don't impose too much load. Since they need to move so little, a long control horn is in order, and that should lighten the servo load as well. I forget how much total throw the old Kraft servos I used in the Cirrus had (maybe 3/4"?), but the control horn is ~1 1/2" or 2" long (I could go measure if you're interested). Total tail movement was less than 15 or 20 degrees (~8 each way) while the rudder swung 45 degrees on each side. |
thanks Mike, this one turned out a lot better than the first two wings. which Apogee do you have, ECMs or Charles Rivers? ECMs Apogee Elite looks fantastic.
any suggestions on the pivot location for the flying tail? i thought it would be better if the pivot was closer to the LE of the elevator, but wasnt sure. i'd certainly like to use the flying tail since it is so effective, i'll have to look into it more, maybe over at SFA in the gliders section, they're bound to have tons of info. thanks, nick oh, i sanded out a pair of foam wings last night. i only rounded the edges on it and taped the leading and trailing edges, but its quite heavy. the balsa wing half is only 1.2 grams, and one of the new foam wing halves is a whopping 2.6g. no wonder all my bigger foam builds end up heavier than i expect! i've gotta find something differant than this cellfoam 88, its only 3mm, but its like a brick. |

I'm building a classic version - the old one with the carved wing...
Hi Mike,
I'm building a MiMi DLG, and the plan has sanding templates for the airfoil. I tried it for the first time, and it worked very well in getting an accurate airfoil. The wood Apogee plan on the Charles River website has a semielliptical wing that was very difficult to shape accurately. I think if you went with a 4 panel design, like the MiMi, or a miniature version of the Super Gee, it would be much easier. Here is the build thread: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...=840763&page=4 |
I used the elliptical curves drawn on the surface and cut away to in order, as detailed in the CR site instructions. It was very fast and easy to get a decently shaped blank. The wing was easy; it's harder getting around to making the boom, tail CF pieces, and plug for the pod.
I used the method outlined here:
http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articl...oilshaping.pdf But, the tangent lines shown here didn't really help much, because they represent where the sanding plane would make contact with the "buried" airfoil. http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articl...wing_plan1.pdf I had to identify the points where the sanding planes intersect, thus defining where I would have to mask with tape to stop the sanding block. This is what I used, but it had to be done over and over, at different chord lengths: http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articl..._tangents1.pdf I would have been fine if I only had to do it for the airfoils at the ends of the panel, but you can't do that for an elliptical wing. |
Last edited by Mr._Mulligan; Jul 31, 2008 at 11:08 PM.
thank you so much for the plans I am going to go build one now!!!!
I think I will build it entirely of 1/32 to reduce weight and test the "breaking points that might need 1/16 balsa. I might be able to get the digital scale from my stepdads work to wiegh it but its not granteed |
finally back to this project. i had built the 2nd wing half shortly after getting back from vacation, and i got my foam earlier today so i was able to finish up the wing. i added a layer of tape along the LE for strength, but i think it added too much weight, as the wing is now at 5.5g. estimated AUW is now around 16-17 grams.
it looks pleanty clean with the foam covering, and with the foam it was strong enough to leave out the CF rod in the 2nd wing half, saving a bit of weight. i also made a balsa plug for a pod, should have the materials for that soon. once the pod is done i can start putting it all together and give it a chuck. nick |
I have been watching this thread with great interest Micro_Builder.
Like yourself I am also interested in Micro-HLG's and thought I would share a few pics of a 20" projected span design im currently building. I have modified a Free Flight HLG called "Bliss" with a new Y-Tail and altered fuselage. Looks like my AUW will be 35g. I guess that translates to approx 8g/DM^2. Which is a just a tad heavier than yours. Im using a Vapor DSM2 Brick and a Bahoma 90mah Lipo. All RC gear will be fully enclosed bar the Lipo which is flush with the side of the fuselage for easy replacement. Here is a couple of pics. |
Last edited by Charos; Aug 30, 2008 at 11:22 AM.
The links don't seem to work... Regarding the 'Bliss', are you going to keep it as a CLG? If so, be prepared to move the CG forward some and feed in down trim for the launch. I fly where the is some slope and thermal lift, and found it was necessary to get my models to maneuver decently is the small spaces I fly in... I did a couple of these, both 22" WS, 34 and 40 gram weights. The heavier one gets a lot more altitude on launch than the lighter one. |
Mike thanks for the tip.
Im using the Bliss as HLG not CLG - the plan does not mention or indicate its useage as a CLG. I know it was used for that purpose though. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to attach images as thumbnails. I have uploaded the images to my profile. I used the only option available to post them with [IMG] tags but that didnt seem to work. Oh well will have to sort that one out. |
Last edited by Charos; Aug 30, 2008 at 11:20 AM.
nice birds Mike. there's a squirrel i raised that now lives in our trees by the field, he doesnt appreciate any of my gliders very much. the swallows always seem to join in the flying though.
Charos, to post pictures, click on the blue "new reply" button under the last post in this thread (currently below this post on the left). there you can write your post, and below the text box is a gray button that says Manage Attatchments. click that and you can upload your photos to your post. glad to see there's more folks interested in the micro gliders nick |
Thanks guys I think I have it sorted now - the pics should be available for everyone I hope.
From memory I left the "display order" set to "0" which didnt help much. PS: The tail feathers in the first shot dont have the control surfaces attached yet, incase your all wandering why it looks sawn off. The second shot will eventually have a 1mm sheet side plate like the other side of the fuselage has, covering all the inards. |
Last edited by Charos; Aug 30, 2008 at 11:34 AM.
One thing Nick omitted in his instructions is, after you have selected the images off your P/C in the 'manage attachments' window, you need to click 'Upload'...
I'm waiting to make a run to the hobby shop to pick up some better epoxy and other stuff for a kevlar pod (thanks, Adam), but in the mean time i still had a perfectly good working PZ rx.
i took the first, smaller wing i did, covered in it durobatics, built probably the ugliest looking fuse pod in existance, and there it was. i wasnt going to add the 7mm, but i figured with all the drag from the pod, it probably wouldnt hurt to have the power. weight before the motor and without battery was 12.5g, with the 7mm and a 50mah lipo the weight is now at 17.9 grams. i gave it a few very short semi-powered glides and it seems to go straight and true so far, tomarrow i'll give it a toss and see how she really goes. nick |

This is a good week to be Missi Pyle.
Fresh off of a victorious Oscars Sunday that saw Pyle's "The Artist" scoop up five Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, the actress has scored a co-starring role in Fox's upcoming comedy pilot "Prodigy Bully."
Based on the one-minute films by Hank Perlman, the single-camera comedy centers around Audie Murphy, a child genius "who must learn to stop bullying others to get what he wants and start using his superior intelligence productively."
Pyle will play Celeste, Murphy's mother. "Glee" actor Mike O'Malley is writing and co-executive producing the project, as well as starring as Murphy's father, Tommy. Hayley Holmes ("The Guild") will play Audie's sister Jackie, while Cody Sullivan and Ysa Penajero will play his schoolmates.
The role of Audie has not yet been cast.
John Wells, Paris Barclay, Andrew Stearn and Peter Segal are also executive-producing the pilot, which is being produced by John Wells Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

In the SDK examples, the times~ object uses this line of code:
class_setname("*~","times~"); // because the filename on disk is different from the object name in Max
However, this seems obsolete under the new API. I can comment it out and the behavior doesn't change.
I wanted to accomplish something similar in an object I was working on, and thought I could use class_alias(), but this causes compile to fail during the linking stage, which seemed odd.
I also tried changing the first param to class_new() to be the name I want but that seems to be ignored.
In the new API, is the only way to use a name that doesn't match the project/filename to append to the max-objectmappings.txt or audio-objectmappings.txt file (or perhaps add an additional custom mappings file)? Or am I missing something?
Since about Max 4.3 (or so) the xxx-objectmappings.txt file is the official way to go. You will want to put your definitions into something like adam-his-object-mappings-list-or-whatever-you-want-to-name-the-file.txt. The name doesn't matter as long as the file has a .txt suffix and is in the init folder and isn't a file name that Max might clobber on the next update.
However, offhand I'm not sure why class_setname() & Co. aren't working for you.
Thanks for the info.

You can now add Moammar Gadhafi to TV's rogues' gallery of the dead.
Graphic video and at least one still photo of what appeared to be the corpse of the now late Libyan leader was aired on various networks Thursday morning as TV news struggled to confirm the news from Libya that rebel forces had either captured Gadhafi, killed him, or both (which is to say – depending on the story, they either captured, then killed him or, in another scenario, attempted to capture him, shot him, then captured him, after which he shortly expired from his wounds).
The video, which originated from Al Jazeera, appeared to show a scene in Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte in which a bloody body is kicked and dragged by rebels, according to this story on the Hollywood Reporter Web site.
The story, posted Thursday on THR.com, details the chronology in which American networks broke the news of the Gadhafi death reports emanating from Tripoli. In the course of issuing the various bulletins, some networks showed the videotape and some did not. Some also showed a photo of what appeared to be the dead body of Gadhafi. In the photo, shot from the chest up, the bloody face of the Libyan dictator appears to be shown, shrouded by what appears to be a white sheet.
In one CNN report seen on Thursday morning, this death photo seemed to stay on-screen long enough for a viewer to become repelled enough to change the channel (OK, it was your Xfinity correspondent).
A debate, if any, on the appropriateness of showing such a photo, or the grisly video of rebels desecrating a corpse, has not broken out over either airing. But if past history is any guide, such a conversation might take place in the days ahead.
The arguments will sound familiar: One side will say the images were necessary in order to boost reporters' accounts that Gadhafi was really dead. The other side will say that confirmation of his death would have come soon enough without news networks having to air repellent videos or still photos of a bloody corpse, even one that belonged to one of the most loathed individuals on the planet.
Our take has always been this: Networks should use discretion and, dare we suggest, any sense of good taste that they might still possess before deciding to broadcast violent videos or photos into the homes of people who are likely to be eating breakfast, packing their kids off to school or in the midst of any other activity during which such imagery is decidedly unwelcome.
At the very least, they should voice a warning before subjecting people to such material. (Let it be noted that some networks did issue warnings, according to the THR report.)
Ultimately, though, the decision to air such material is based less on taste and good manners than on competitive considerations. In other words, the decision-making "process" usually goes like this: If the other guy is airing it, we've gotta air it too.
And so, you get to see Col. Moammar Gadhafi's bloody corpse while you're trying to eat your cornflakes.

H1N1 (Swine Flu): CSACI Position on egg allergy
Released to medical professionals on Sept. 30/09 by:
The Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
La Société canadienne d'allergie et d'immunologie clinique
The safe administration of influenza vaccine to egg allergic individuals has become increasingly important with the pandemic planning for H1N1 influenza. Since the H1N1 vaccine and the seasonal influenza vaccine are grown in fertilized eggs, there is a theoretical risk of allergic reactions in patients with egg allergy. The benefits of vaccination with H1N1 and seasonal influenza are great, given the potential serious nature of these illnesses. This risk of a serious allergic reaction appears to be very low and the literature suggests that it might be safe to administer this vaccine to these individuals. The goal of this statement is to ensure that those patients with egg allergy can receive both influenza vaccines provided risk reduction procedures are in place.
This statement is for physicians of patients with a diagnosed egg allergy who are candidates for the influenza vaccine (both H1N1 and seasonal). Tolerance to one vaccine does not eliminate risk of a reaction to the other vaccine, and there can be significant lot-to-lot variability. Egg allergy is defined as immediate symptoms within 1–2 hours after exposure, such as urticaria and angioedema, respiratory, gastrointestinal, or cardiovascular symptoms plus confirmatory allergy tests (skin test or egg specific IgE).
We have subdivided the patients with egg allergy into lower risk (mild gastrointestinal or mild local skin reaction, tolerating ingestion of small amounts of egg, or positive skin/specific IgE test to egg without knowingly exposed to egg), or higher risk (previous respiratory or cardiovascular reaction, generalized hives or those with poorly controlled asthma).
The risks of potential reactions should be discussed with the patient. If the vaccine is administered, a physician must be present and access to emergency treatment, including epinephrine, must be available. For patients in the lower risk category, the vaccine can be administered, but the patient should be observed for 60 minutes.
For patients at higher risk, or if the risk is unknown, we recommend an initial test dose with 10% of the total dose followed by 30 minutes of observation. If there is no reaction after 30 minutes, the remaining 90% can be given and the patient observed for 60 minutes. Children who tolerate the split dose and who require a second dose (1st time receiving influenza vaccine) can receive the next dose in one injection.
Note that tolerance to this year's influenza vaccine does not guarantee tolerance to other years' and does not guarantee tolerance of the H1N1 vaccine. The same approach is recommended for each vaccine. Again, we would like to emphasize that the risk of a serious allergic reaction appears low.
Allergists are trained to recognize and treat anaphylaxis. Whenever possible, egg allergic patients, particularly those with recent or severe reactions, should be referred to their local allergist for influenza vaccine testing, if indicated. The allergist will then make a decision, based on history, skin tests or specific IgE results, if the vaccine should be given as a single or multiple stage injection.
The CSACI recognizes that other approaches for the vaccination of egg allergic individuals with the
seasonal flu vaccine are available, and that the above recommendations do not preclude the use of other approaches.
CSACI's DISCLAIMER
Any medical doctor/nurse/allied health professional seeking to apply or consult this document is expected to use independent medical judgment to determine any patient's care or treatment. The CSACI disclaims any warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, as to any matter whatsoever relating to this document.

UK Newspaper Websites To Become Nearly Invisible 454
smooth wombat writes "Various websites have tried to make readers pay for access to select parts of their sites. Now, in a bid to counter what he claims is theft of his material, Rupert Murdoch's Times and Sunday Times sites will become essentially invisible to web users. Except for their home pages, no stories will show up on Google. Starting in late June, Google and other search engines will be prevented from indexing and linking to stories.

A World Of Wonder
April 1959 | Volume 10, Issue 3
But if the natives were to be disillusioned, so too was Columbus himself. As voyage succeeded voyage, it began to be clear to the Spanish authorities that they had given the Admiral altogether too much, and he was whittled down. Between the first great stroke of discovery and the long, wearisome fight to maintain his own authority and prerogatives against mutinous subordinates and schemers at court, Columbus fell on difficult times. Yet the faith that was the obverse side of the coin, with him—the faith that went hand in hand with his God-given curiosity and eagerness—never deserted him. Seven years after the discovery, deserted by fortune, Columbus wrote thus in his journal:
The day after Christmas Day, 1499, all having left me, I was attacked by the Indians and the bad Christians, and was placed in such extremity that fleeing death I took to sea in a small caravel. Then Our Lord aided me, saying, "Man of little faith, do not fear, I am with thee." And he dispersed my enemies, and showed me how I might fulfill my vows. Unhappy sinner that I am, to have placed all my hopes in the things of this world!
Actually, Columbus had placed his hopes not so much in the things of this world as in the belief that this world contained ever so much more than any of his contemporaries suspected. These hopes were abundantly sustained. The belief that went with them has colored the American consciousness ever since.

How long after completing a program and managing PR, can you rest or de-load before you start seeing a loss in strength and size?
I see no reason to rest longer than a week, but certainly a 2 week rest won't do any harm. Any trivial loss you might experience will come back extremely quickly. |

I'm a bit of a broken record when it comes to my love of Instagram these days, but it's true: interacting with the creative community on Instagram has brought me back to life and inspired me more than anything else in the past few years. From discovering new artists and designers to finding beautiful new homes to feature, I can barely tear myself away from refreshing my feed to see who will pop up next and inspire me to make/try/write something new. One of my favorite things to do lately is create hashtag challenges for DS readers (and our team) to share photos online based around a common theme like artwork, rugs, old homes, healthy living, and beauty found on daily walks. Last month we announced our #DSCOLOR challenge and now it's time to share our favorites.
After looking through over 3,500 entries on social media alone (we also received submissions via email – thank you to everyone who emailed!), I was overwhelmed with all of the incredible examples of color in people's daily lives. From flowers and paint to paper goods and clothing, these pictures are bursting with inspiration for interiors. There were so many favorites, in fact, that we decided to break them up into three posts representing both ends of the color spectrum, as well as multi-color pictures that have a little bit of everything. Today I'm starting with RED, PINK, ORANGE AND YELLOW. Thank you so much to everyone who shared their photos with us! xo, grace
*Stay tuned for blue/green/purple tomorrow as well as beautiful multi-color entries!

The day will be topped off with a finish line celebration at Central Library in Prospect Heights from 5-7pm, featuring music, entertainment, prizes and more
"Bike the Branches is an exciting new way to support Brooklyn Public Library and experience the reach of our library system into every corner of the borough – from historic Carnegie libraries built in the early 1900s to our newest branch, the LEED Silver Kensington Library, which opened last year," said Linda E. Johnson, President & CEO of Brooklyn Public Library. "When Andrew Carnegie envisioned the neighborhood branch system more than 100 years ago, he believed every Brooklyn community should have access to the knowledge and resources a public library can provide. By visiting the dozens of neighborhoods we serve across the borough, participants in Bike the Branches can help us provide the programs our patrons need, like story times for toddlers, resume writing workshops and WiFi access for jobseekers. We look forward to seeing Brooklyn's communities joining the fun and giving back to their public libraries."
Participants can register today to Bike the Branches and support Brooklyn Public Library with a rewarding day of health, literacy and community. Registration is $20 for adults, $15 for students, and $10 for children, with special prices offered for families ($40) and teams ($150 for up to 10 people).
Bike the Branches is part of Brooklyn Public Library's annual Support the Branches fundraising drive. All proceeds from Support the Branches and Bike the Branches help fund Brooklyn Public Library's work to bring vital services, resources and programs to every neighborhood in Brooklyn – ensuring that collections grow, computer equipment is upgraded, and more community programs are developed and enjoyed by the borough's diverse populations.

Friday, April 10, 2009
Michael Stipe, lead singer of R.E.M., claimed that The End of the Road was the inspiration for his song "Laughing" off R.E.M.'s first album, Murmur. Though the protagonist in Barth's novel acknowledges the irony of his situation, he doesn't find his condition laughable. In fact, he describes it as a kind of paralysis-- "gazing on eternity, fixed on ultimacy...there is no reason to do anything--even to change the focus of one's eyes"-- in which the long-view of all of life's options and possible meanings renders the freedom to choose between them impotent. He calls this condition cosmopsis, "the cosmic view" that produces a kind of intellectual and spiritual entropy in its sufferers. What does one look at when standing in front of A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of la Grand Jatte? What IS one looking at? And once one concedes to relaxing his or her focus, giving oneself over to the whole, how does one look away? Remember this scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
That's cosmopsis. The closer one focuses in on the individual points, the more decontextualized and meaningless they become. The more one blurs the individual points to find the meaning in the whole, the more one becomes transfixed, paralyzed, unable to think or choose or be anything for fear that to lose sight of the whole, even for a moment, is to lose any sort of meaning at all.
Now, I'm willing to admit that this is just the kind of hyperbolic, existentialist angst that appeals to people in their twenties (which I was), who like to think of themselves as, to use Barth's phrase, "pronouns sans ante or precedent"(which I did), but for some reason I've found myself thinking a lot about cosmopsis recently. Maybe it's the fact that I'm trying to write a book, which can be its own kind of pointillist painting. Maybe it's the constant news about the economic collapse, which most of the time makes sense as a "whole" story, though the consitutive parts often seem so nonsensical and strange. Maybe it's some kind of (premature) mid-life crisis, which tends (stereotypically, anyway) to repeat the behaviors of our 20-something crises. Maybe it's a reaction to the dramatic and abrupt channel-change that our nation has done politically, in which the discrete events of this change seem completely absurd if one is still looking at and thinking about them in the context of the old channel's narrative. Maybe it's Bernie Madoff's fault.
At any rate, the problem of having to decide whether to look at the points to see the picture, or look at the picture to see the points, is seeming more and more to me a hazard of the philosophical life. But it's probably much more mundane than that...

This is an interesting post in a variety of frameworks, but I do wonder if this state of mind is somehow a product of your work and its relation to current events. Observe these two phrases in recent posts:
a - "Maybe it's a reaction to the dramatic and abrupt channel-change that our nation has done politically, in which the discrete events of this change seem completely absurd if one is still looking at and thinking about them in the context of the old channel's narrative."
b - "...I realized several times what a completely different world we are in now than we were in when I was writing most of it"
Now, I have to admit that I was puzzled when I read (b) a few weeks ago. I don't know the exact nature of your current project but I understand (am hoping that) it relates to your posts on weak humanism which I have followed with great interest. Does it?
Maybe I'm hoping that you are examining recent events in the context of a larger ethical framework of a re-defined humanism. In which case, I would not find any of them to be "completely absurd", nor do I think we are living in a "completely different world".
Then again, maybe I'm completely wrong to connect those remarks like that. In which case, I owe you a beer. - Mon Apr 13, 10:02:00 AM
- DOCTOR J said...
Hi Sue. You're probably right to connect my comments. I've been working on the weak humanism book a lot lately and, naturally, the whole world seems to be filtered through that project (which is itself still taking shape).
You can still buy me a beer, though. Where are you, by the way? - Mon Apr 13, 12:10:00 PM
- sue said...
I am from the states but have been living overseas for an extended period of time, currently in Spain, so I'm not sure where the beer-buying is going to take place - we'll have to keep that open!
I have truly enjoyed the weak humanism posts over the past year and find myself applying the principles broadly. I'll be very interested to hear more about it.
At this point I should mention that - in addition to being a bit removed over here from american politics - I am not at all professionally involved in either philosophy or academics.. in any way, whatsoever.. so my interest is purely for self-indulgence. That, and because I think it's relevant and important to re-shape our thinking on these matters.
And, yet, beer.. - Tue Apr 14, 04:33:00 AM

I am a huge fan of Barth. I believe that he is an overlooked and underrated novelist.

A computer program that has a useful function, but which also contains additional (hidden) functions. The hidden functions may secretly exploit the legitimate authorizations of the invoking process to the detriment of the system's security; for example, by making a blind copy (BCC) of a sensitive file for the creator of the Trojan Horse. Trojan Horses are often designed to deliver a tool (perhaps a RAT) that may then be used to subvert a system's security mechanisms; see, for example, Back Orifice.
There is a fine line between a Trojan Horse and Adware.
Trojan Horse File
Legend says that after a prolonged war between the Greeks and the Trojans, the Greeks finally surrendered, left behind a gift of truce, abandoned Troy and set off home. Their gift was a large wooden horse, which the Trojans accepted eagerly (despite the advice of their chief priest, who suspected a deception). The horse was larger than the city gates, which were duly demolished. The statue was wheeled in and the party commenced.
In fact, the Greeks had merely sailed around the closest headland to await nightfall. Also, a secret compartment inside the horse contained a select band of Greek fighters, who duly broke out under cover of darkness to initiate the slaughter. Their countrymen sailed back, piled in through the breached defences and completed the rout. Troy was lost.
And that is why it is generally a bad idea to run a program, look at a document or use a spreadsheet that someone has sent you, especially if you do not know that person, or if you were not expecting them to send it to you. If it comes from an untrusted person, then it has untrusted content, whatever words of comfort they may offer you about it. Listen to the chief priest of the Trojans. Discard it.
Even if it seems to come from someone you trust, do not use it if you were not expecting it. There are viruses (see Library File) which send email attachments as if they were you, thus lulling recipients into a false sense of security. Don't feel bad about refusing files with programmatic content from your friends and colleagues. You can usually get the programs you need from your administrator instead of your friends, and you can ask to receive documents in RTF (see RTF) instead of accepting DOCs.

Stila Set and Correct - 0.16 oz.
Stila Set and Correct is a lightweight, 3-in-1 baked correcting powder that color-corrects, brightens, evens skin tone and sets makeup for a flawless, satin finish. This sheer, buildable powder contains three color-correcting powders that work in tandem to correct the skin and set foundation. Shades include: Peach, which brightens and illuminates; Green, which minimizes redness; and Lavender, which counteracts sallow undertones. A unique baking technique causes the binder to evaporate, which creates a velvety finish and a lightweight feel on the skin. This luxe powder also contains Vitamin E antioxidant protection and jojoba oils to help moisturize and condition the skin. The product is hypo-allergenic and paraben free.
Especially Suited For: All skin types
Essential Elements: Stila Set and Correct comes in a sleek black compact with a mirror and an ingenious shaver that evenly distributes each shade and turns it into a fine, silky loose powder for effortless application.
For Best Effect: This luxurious powder can be used on cheekbones, under eye brows or dusted over the decollete for a luminous glow.
