The oldest theropod dinosaurs are known from the Carnian of Argentina and Brazil. However, the evolutionary diversification of this group after its initial radiation but prior to the Triassic–Jurassic boundary is still poorly understood because of a sparse fossil record near that boundary. Here, we report on a new basal theropod, Daemonosaurus chauliodus gen. et sp. nov., from the latest Triassic 'siltstone member' of the Chinle Formation of the Coelophysis Quarry at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. Based on a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis, Daemonosaurus is more closely related to coeval neotheropods (e.g. Coelophysis bauri) than to Herrerasauridae and Eoraptor. The skeletal structure of Daemonosaurus and the recently discovered Tawa bridge a morphological gap between Eoraptor and Herrerasauridae on one hand and neotheropods on the other, providing additional support for the theropod affinities of both Eoraptor and Herrerasauridae and demonstrating that lineages from the initial radiation of Dinosauria persisted until the end of the Triassic. Various features of the skull of Daemonosaurus, including the procumbent dentary and premaxillary teeth and greatly enlarged premaxillary and anterior maxillary teeth, clearly set this taxon apart from coeval neotheropods and demonstrate unexpected disparity in cranial shape among theropod dinosaurs just prior to the end of the Triassic.
1. Introduction
The oldest known theropod dinosaurs are Carnian in age [1–3]. The best-documented assemblage of basal theropods, from the Ischigualasto Formation of northwestern Argentina, already comprises at least three or four taxa (Eodromaeus, Herrerasaurus, Sanjuansaurus; the affinities of Eoraptor remain contentious [1,4,5]), which occur together with basal sauropodomorphs and an ornithischian [1,4–12]. Thus, the three principal lineages of dinosaurs originated before the Carnian. The Late Triassic record of theropods outside North America after their initial diversification is largely restricted to a few partial skeletons (e.g. Liliensternus) and isolated bones from Europe or exceptional finds of rare taxa (e.g. Zupaysaurus) from other regions with poor chronostratigraphic control [9,10]. By contrast, North America has a rapidly growing theropod record in increasingly chronostratigraphically well-constrained strata extending up to the Triassic–Jurassic boundary in southwestern USA [13]. The Late Triassic record of dinosaurs from North America was long considered one of the most extensive [14]. However, a recent review, using an explicitly apomorphy-based approach to specimen identification, demonstrated that many of the published records were either based on incorrectly identified skeletal remains or on bones that were essentially indistinguishable from those of the only well-documented Late Triassic theropod from North America, Coelophysis bauri [15]. Subsequently, a new taxon of basal theropod, Tawa hallae, from the late Norian Petrified Forest Member of the Chinle Formation at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, established that theropod dinosaurs had a more complex evolutionary history prior to the origin of Neotheropoda than previously inferred [16]. With the exception of Chindesaurus bryansmalli [15], T. hallae [16], and an unnamed form from the Norian of western Texas [17], all other Norian-age theropods belong to Neotheropoda. Here, we report on a distinctive new taxon of basal theropod from the probably Rhaetian-age 'siltstone member' of the Chinle Formation [18] of the Coelophysis Quarry at Ghost Ranch that substantially adds to our knowledge of the early evolutionary history of this group.
2. Systematic palaeontology
Dinosauria Owen 1842
Saurischia Seeley 1887
Theropoda Marsh 1881
Daemonosaurus chauliodus gen. et sp. nov.
(a) Etymology
The generic nomen is derived from Greek daimon, evil spirit, and Greek sauros, reptile, in allusion to legends about evil spirits at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. The specific epithet is derived from Greek chauliodous, with prominent teeth.
(b) Holotype
CM (Carnegie Museum of Natural History) 76821, nearly complete but transversely crushed skull with mandible and associated anterior cervical vertebrae and ribs (figure 1). It is possible that additional postcranial bones will be retrieved during further preparation of the large block C-4-81 [19] in which CM 76821 was discovered in association with skeletal remains of C. bauri.
(c) Locality and horizon
Coelophysis Quarry [20], Ghost Ranch, 20 km northwest of Abiquiú, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, USA. Geographical coordinates: latitude 36°20′ N, longitude 106°27′30″ E. 'Siltstone member' of the Chinle Formation [18]; Late Triassic (probably Rhaetian) [13,21].
(d) Diagnosis
Distinguished by the following unique combination of characters: skull proportionately deep and narrow, with short antorbital region; premaxillary and anterior maxillary teeth much enlarged relative to more posterior maxillary teeth; prefrontal large and occupies about 50 per cent of the dorsal margin of the orbit; ventral process of lacrimal with slender posterior projection extending along anterodorsal margin of jugal; dorsoventrally deep jugal with prominent lateral ridge; postorbital with anterolateral overhang over orbit; first two dentary teeth large and procumbent; alveolar margin of dentary downturned at symphysis; and third cervical vertebra with deep, rimmed, ovoid pleurocoel on the anterolateral surfaces of both centrum and neural arch. Possible autapomorphies of Daemonosaurus include long posterior process of premaxilla that almost contacts anterior process of lacrimal and antorbital fenestra nearly the same size as external naris. Daemonosaurus differs from Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis [6,22] in having a much anteroposteriorly shorter antorbital fenestra, a posteroventral process of lacrimal that extends along the anterodorsal margin of the jugal, and much enlarged premaxillary teeth. Daemonosaurus differs from Eodromaeus murphi [1] in the absence of a distinct ridge on the lateral side of the maxilla, the proportionally much smaller antorbital fossa, presence of much enlarged premaxillary teeth, presence of a posteroventral process of the lacrimal that extends along the anterodorsal margin of the jugal, and greater dorsoventral expansion of the jugal. Daemonosaurus differs from Eoraptor lunensis [4] in the presence of much enlarged premaxillary and anterior maxillary teeth and a much more restricted antorbital fossa on the maxilla. Daemonosaurus differs from T. hallae [16] and the neotheropod C. bauri [19,21,23,24] especially in the presence of a dorsoventrally deep premaxilla, a slight subnarial gap and a proportionally larger prefrontal. Daemonosaurus differs from Chindesaurus bryansmalli [14,15] in the presence of an ovoid deep depression on the anterior portion of the centra of postaxial cervical vertebrae (postaxial cervical vertebrae are the only bones currently known for both taxa).
(e) Ontogenetic age
It is difficult to assess the ontogenetic stage of CM 76821. To date, no postcranial bones other than a few cervicals for this specimen have been recovered; histological data from these elements are typically used to assess individual age [25]. The proportionately large orbit, short snout and lack of fusion between the constituent elements of the braincase in CM 76821 are commonly considered indicators of somatic immaturity among theropod dinosaurs [26]. However, the neurocentral sutures between the centrum and neural arch on the axis and third cervical vertebra of CM 76821 are closed. The sequence of closure of these sutures (anterior to posterior versus posterior to anterior) in theropods is poorly understood, and both sequences of closure are present in that group [27]. In Crocodylia and other suchian archosaurs, closure of the neurocentral sutures proceeds from posterior to anterior [27,28]. If the latter pattern was present in Daemonosaurus, CM 76281 might represent a skeletally more mature individual, with the apparently juvenile features being autapomorphies of this taxon.
(f) Comments
Post-burial compaction of the enclosing mudstone matrix led to transverse flattening of the skull of CM 76821 and extensive fracturing of individual bones. As a result of this damage, identification of some sutures is difficult, and there has also been loss of bone in a number of places. Many of the cranial bones were separated and displaced from neighbouring elements. The paired bones comprising the skull roof were disarticulated along the midline so that their dorsal surfaces now face towards their respective sides. Much of the postorbital region of the skull, including much of the braincase, has disintegrated. The bones of the palate are partially obscured by other cranial elements. The mandibular rami were disarticulated at the symphysis and displaced. The right side of the snout incurred some damage when an inexperienced volunteer first uncovered the skull. Careful mechanical preparation subsequently exposed the more completely preserved left side of the skull. Examination of both sides of the skull now permits identification and interpretation of most cranial features.
3. Description
The lightly built skull is narrow and relatively deep with a proportionately large orbit (figures 1 and 2). It has a length of about 140 mm (measured from the tip of the premaxilla to the posterior margin of the quadrate on the right side), of which the antorbital region comprises only about 50 per cent. The external narial fenestra is elliptical, with its long axis extending anteroventrally, and faces laterally; its greatest length (on the right side) is 20 mm. The orbit is proportionately large (with an estimated anteroposterior diameter of 50 mm on the left side) and appears to be subcircular rather than oval as is typical for Neotheropoda [26]. Part of a collapsed ring of scleral ossicles is preserved in the left orbit. The infratemporal fenestra is shorter anteroposteriorly than tall dorsoventrally. The subtriangular antorbital fenestra (anteroposterior length of 19 mm; left side) is much smaller than the orbit and comparable in size to the external naris. The premaxilla has a roughly quadrangular, posteriorly inclined and dorsoventrally deep body similar to that of Herrerasaurus [6]. It holds three much enlarged teeth, which decrease in size from the first to the third and are slightly procumbent. The broad posterior process of the premaxilla extends back beyond the posterior margin of the external naris, which is located well dorsal to the alveolar margin as in Herrerasaurus. It excludes the maxilla from participation in the posterior margin of the external naris and almost reaches the anterior process of the lacrimal. The anteroventral margin of the external narial fenestra is bordered by a shallow fossa. A small foramen opens in this depression. Posteriorly, the dorsal (nasal) processes of the premaxillae insert between two anterior processes of each nasal, forming an elongated W-shaped suture between these elements across the slender internarial bar. The anteriorly tall maxilla has a gently convex alveolar margin, which curves somewhat dorsally near the suture with the premaxilla. Its dorsal process diverges from the tooth-bearing ramus at a steep angle and is confluent with the anterior edge of the maxilla. Although both sides of the snout are slightly damaged in this region there is no unequivocal evidence for a subnarial foramen on the suture between the premaxilla and maxilla. A slight subnarial gap is present in the upper alveolar margin, similar to the condition in Eoraptor [5] but not nearly as extensive as in Tawa [16] and basal neotheropods [19,26]. The maxilla lacks a longitudinal ridge extending above and parallel to the alveolar margin, unlike in C. bauri [19] and Eoraptor [1,4]. It holds only nine or 10 maxillary teeth, the lowest number observed among known Triassic theropods, including Eodromaeus, which has 11 maxillary teeth [1], and short-snouted juveniles of C. bauri, which have 18 maxillary teeth [23]. The upper tooth row extends posteriorly beyond the anterior margin of the orbit. The anterior maxillary teeth, especially the second and third, have tall crowns. As in Herrerasaurus [6] and Tawa [16], the antorbital fossa is restricted to the dorsal process of the maxilla and largely concealed in lateral view. The lateral edge of the nasal is rounded as in Herrerasaurus [6]. The nasal does not enter into the dorsal margin of the antorbital fenestra. The lacrimal is slightly anterodorsally inclined and shaped like an inverted L, with slender anterior and ventral processes. There is no pneumatic recess or lateral overhang in the posterodorsal corner at the junction between the anterior and ventral processes as there is in neotheropods, such as C. bauri. The ventral process of the lacrimal is slightly expanded near its contact with the jugal and has a slender posterior extension along the ventral portion of the orbit. Its anterolateral surface forms the posteroventral portion of the antorbital fossa. The prefrontal occupies about 50 per cent of the dorsal margin of the orbit and forms a slender process extending ventrally along the posteromedial edge of the lacrimal. Anterolaterally, the triradiate postorbital forms a distinct overhang over the orbit, as in Eoraptor, Herrerasaurus, Tawa and basal neotheropods [4,16,26]. The supratemporal fossa extends anteriorly onto the posterodorsal surface of the more or less quadrangular frontal where it is delimited by an arcuate rim. The frontal contributes to the dorsal margin of the orbit. The anterior process of the jugal is rather deep ventral to the lacrimal and enters into the posteroventral margin of the antorbital fenestra. As in Eodromaeus [1], Eoraptor [1,4], Herrerasaurus [6] and some neotheropods (e.g. C. bauri), a prominent longitudinal ridge extends just above the ventral margin on the lateral surface of the jugal. The slender anterior process of the L-shaped quadratojugal extends anteriorly to the posterior edge of the dorsal process of the jugal, as in Tawa and neotheropods [16]. The quadrate has a small proximal head and a tall shaft with a slightly concave posterior margin. The basioccipital is large and the exoccipitals are clearly separated along the midline as in all dinosaurs [5]. As in Tawa [16], the descending process of the opisthotic is laterally extensive and not concealed in posterior view as in neotheropods. The paroccipital process projects laterally and somewhat posteriorly and lacks a dorsal or ventral expansion. It is relatively long and has a somewhat convex ventral margin. The braincase of Daemonosaurus was apparently not as pneumatized as that of Tawa because the anterior portion of the basioccipital is formed by solid bone. The dentary is relatively long and shallow, with nearly parallel dorsal (alveolar) and ventral margins. Its symphyseal portion is not expanded dorsoventrally. Anteriorly, the alveolar margin of the dentary descends slightly towards the ventral margin.
The dentition of Daemonosaurus is distinctly heterodont. The premaxillary and anterior maxillary teeth are much enlarged. The premaxillary teeth projected anteriorly and below the ventral margin of the dentary. The first and second dentary teeth are larger than the others and procumbent. Both the premaxillary and anterior dentary teeth are rounded in transverse section. The maxillary and more posterior dentary teeth have labiolingually compressed crowns with finely serrated mesial and distal carinae. Five cervical vertebrae, the first three of which are partially or fully exposed, are preserved in articulation with the skull. The centra of the axis and third cervical lack ventral keels. The length of the preserved cervicals and long, slender cervical ribs that extend parallel to the centra suggests that the neck was rather long like that of Tawa [16]. The prezygapophyses are anteriorly elongated. The postzygapophyses bear posteriorly elongated epipophyses as in all dinosaurs [5]. The anterolateral surface of the third cervical vertebra has a deep, rimmed and oval pneumatic fossa that lies at the junction of the centrum and the neural arch. This opening occupies 40–50% of the length of the centrum. The pneumatic fossa on the third cervical vertebra of Daemonosaurus represents a previously unknown type of pneumatic feature among basal theropods and demonstrates disparity in the formation of such features on the cervical vertebrae in basal theropods. For example, the cervical vertebrae of Tawa [16] and C. bauri [19,26] share a rimmed, posteriorly opening fossa on the anterior portion of the centrum, just medial to the parapophysis. Furthermore, C. bauri [19,26] also possesses a rimmed fossa on the posterior portion of the centrum. On the postaxial cervicals of Dilophosaurus [29], two oval pneumatic fenestrae occupy the same position as the anterior and posterior pneumatic fossae of C. bauri. The only known cervical of Chindesaurus has a small ovoid foramen without a distinct rim in the anterior portion of the centrum [14]. The differences in the form (fossae versus fenestrae), position (centrum versus centrum and neural arch) and number (one versus two) of pneumatic features among basal theropods show the mosaic acquisition of pneumatic features in the cervical vertebrae of these dinosaurs.
4. Phylogenetic analysis and discussion
In order to assess the phylogenetic position of D. chauliodus, we added character state scorings for this taxon as well as four new characters to the character–taxon matrix from [16] (see the electronic supplementary material). The revised matrix comprises 42 taxa and 319 characters. We did not include the very recently described Eodromaeus murphi [1] because we have not yet examined the original material. The character–taxon matrix was analysed using PAUP*, v. 4.0b10 for Macintosh PPC [30] (for details refer to the electronic supplementary material).
The analysis generated three most parsimonious trees, each with a length of 899 steps, a Consistency Index of 0.418, and a Retention Index of 0.704. Our analysis places Daemonosaurus as more derived than Herrerasauridae and Eoraptor and more basal than the clade Tawa + Neotheropoda (see the electronic supplementary material for details; figure 3). Daemonosaurus is referable to Dinosauria and Saurischia based on the presence of a distinct narial fossa on the premaxilla (character state 12.1), the deeply bifurcated posterior process of the jugal (54.3), the separation of the exoccipitals on the floor of the braincase (78.1), the extension of the supratemporal fossa onto the posterodorsal surface of the frontal (90.1) and the presence of epipophyses on the cervical vertebrae (127.1). Daemonosaurus is most closely related to the clade Tawa + Neotheropoda based on the presence of an anterior process of the quadratojugal that extends to the posterior border of the dorsal process of the jugal (52.1), deep pneumatic fossae on the postaxial cervical vertebrae (128.1), and parapophyses and diapophyses that are nearly in contact on the anterior cervical vertebrae (124.1).
The structure of the skull of Daemonosaurus further bridges the morphological gap between that of the basal theropods Herrerasaurus and Eoraptor and the clade Tawa + Neotheropoda. Daemonosaurus still retains a few plesiomorphic character states present in Herrerasaurus including the large body of the premaxilla (1.0) and limited lateral exposure of the antorbital fossa (317.1). This transitional suite of character states of Daemonosaurus and Tawa further supports placement of Eoraptor and Herrerasauridae as basal theropods [4,6,9,16,22,26] rather than as basal saurischians [5,10,12] or, in the case of Eoraptor, as a basal sauropodomorph [1].
The phylogenetic position of Daemonosaurus indicates that its lineage was among the first theropod dinosaurs that diversified during the early Late Triassic (figure 3). Daemonosaurus demonstrates that members of this initial dinosaurian radiation persisted until near the end of the Triassic. Neotheropods are apparently the only group of theropod dinosaurs to survive the end-Triassic extinction event [26]. Daemonosaurus differs from other known early Mesozoic theropods in its dentition and cranial proportions. Coeval coelophysids, such as C. bauri [19,24], and other basal neotheropods [26] have distinctly elongated snouts with loosely articulated premaxillae and more numerous, rather small premaxillary and maxillary teeth. A comparison of ratios of snout length versus skull length (see the electronic supplementary material) shows that Daemonosaurus diverges from the trend in neotheropods, most of which have snouts longer than 50 per cent of the total length of the skull. Short-snouted forms are uncommon among toothed theropods [1,26]. In the present case, differences in snout proportions and shape may have allowed coexisting theropod taxa to exploit different trophic sources, as is the case among extant crocodylians [32]. Of the material examined by us, only the holotype of Eoraptor lunensis [1,4] has a ratio of snout length versus skull length comparable to that for Daemonosaurus, but its ratio of lacrimal height versus snout length is more similar to that for C. bauri. The greatly enlarged premaxillary and anterior maxillary teeth, the low maxillary tooth count and possibly the proportions of the snout in Daemonosaurus suggest greater ecological diversification of snout shape and tooth shape among theropod lineages during the latest Triassic than previously assumed.
Robert M. Sullivan (State Museum of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg) initially drew the authors' attention to the specimen. Diane Scott (University of Toronto at Mississauga) skillfully prepared this specimen; an Operating Grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada to H.-D.S. supported her work. We thank Sarah Werning (University of California at Berkeley) and Mark Loewen (University of Utah) for providing comparative measurements for some theropod skulls and the late Chip Clark (National Museum of Natural History) for the photographs used in figure 1. We gratefully acknowledge discussions with Randall B. Irmis (University of Utah) concerning theropod phylogeny and character evolution and helpful comments from Nicholas R. Longrich (Yale University) and two anonymous referees.

Posted on 10/14/2012 1:50:38 PM PDT by lowbridge
Claiming she spent a marathon 12 consecutive days in Albany on legislative business, Queens Assemblywoman Vivian Cook pocketed $171 for each reported overnight stay a total $2,197 in taxpayer money from March 21 to April 1, 2010.
The Legislature was in session just three of those days and Cook was absent for all three, records show.
Me? Youre kidding! No! I didnt do that, she told The Post.
I dont lie, I dont cheat, and I dont steal, said Cook, whose nonprofit Rockaway Boulevard Local Development Corp. prompted an investigation for allegedly misusing taxpayer funds.
In 2010 and 2011, Cook collected a total $17,035 in daily and overnight stipends, plus other travel expenses on top of her $79,500-a-year state salary. During the 2010 legislative session, she missed 51 meetings of the Assembly, 63 percent of the sessions.
I was sick for a very long time, she said of her absences, but could not recall the dates.
Shes one of scores of legislators who claim more than $10,000 a year in per diems a daily payment lawmakers can collect if they sleep over in Albany or travel more than 50 miles from home on legislative business.
The sleepovers add up. The Assembly and the Senate have socked taxpayers with more than $32 million in travel-related expenses in the past decade.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
BTW, this 'per diem' is also tax-free and is not counted as income.
Democrat and black. Did you really need an answer? Really...
Anyone who says I don't lie, cheat, or steal generally does just that...btw - this is from an experienced perspective; investigated fraud and white collar crimes for over 20 years now, many of them politicians...
They're all listed under their pix as Democrats.
"Socialism Is Legal Plunder" - Bastiat 1801-1850
Vivian Cook (b. May 23, 1937) is a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly. She has represented District 32 since 1991. Presently Cook is also the Deputy Majority Leader and chair of Majority Program Committee, New York State Assembly; part of the Democratic National Committee; and district leader to Queens County 32nd Assembly District. Her other political experiences include secretary for Queens County 32nd Assembly District; delegate to Democratic National Convention; majority whip, New York State Assembly; and chair of the Queens County Democratic Committee.
The news organizations leave that out because it saves time by not having to typeset that into the article and and it saves ink by not having to reveal that, since so many Democrats are criminals.
For Republicans, they need tell us they are Republican, because there are so few Republicans that are criminals and the reader would think they are Democrat, if not identified.
"Politics Personified"
is there any other flavor in Queens?
Reconstruction II just keeps rolling along.
If you're a Democrat, it's a given that you do all three,
You missed the party affiliation, and......you're a wacist!

The United Nations Security Council has given NATO approval to expand its peacekeeping mission beyond Kabul. Last month, the alliance planners had proposed an additional 2,000 to 10,000 troops. However, as Reuters reports, the resolution will have little immediate impact because currently there are only a few countries willing to commit troops needed for the expansion.
Afghanistan's President, Hamid Karzai, stated the expansion of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) "is what the Afghan people have been asking for since the beginning of the interim administration and I'm glad that the voice of Afghan for better security has been heard by the international community," reports the Associated Press. According to IRIN News, the resolution stressed "the importance of extending central government authority to all parts of Afghanistan" and "to allow [ISAF], as resources permit, to support the Afghan Transitional Authority and its successors in the maintenance of security in the areas of Afghanistan outside Kabul and its environs, so that the Afghan authorities, as well as the personnel of the United Nations and other international civilian personnel engaged, in particular, in the reconstruction and humanitarian efforts, can operate in a secure environment."
According to Reuters, Germany will send between 230 to 450 new troops to Kunduz only if the soldiers are part of the 5,500 member NATO mission, not the American force. It is still unclear where the force will be stationed and what it will mandated to do. While pleased with the UN and NATO acting in support of ISAF expansion, the Feminist Majority urges that the numbers of troops must be increased by at least 10,000, that their mandate must include disarmament, and that ISAF's size in Kabul should also be increased. The Feminist Majority is leading the call for ISAF expansion, increased reconstruction funding, and more resources to support the work of the Ministry of Women's Affairs and the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission.

When 12:00pm - 5:00pm
Where Kenneth Paul Lesko
1305 West 80th Street
Cleveland, OH
Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery is celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary at 78th Street Studios with an exhibition of new work by Judith Brandon. Please join us for this special evening:
Judith Brandon
Turbulent Territory
November 15th, 2013 – January 11th, 2014
Wednesday-Saturday, 12:00pm-5:00pm or by appointment
Opening Reception
Friday, November 15th, 5:00pm-9:00pm
Judith Brandon's mastery of drawing is evident in every piece she creates, but it is the way in which she uses that mastery to forge a link between herself and the viewer that makes her work so exceptional. Her work has a sense of mystery and a powerful gravity, a subtle but irresistible pull that draws the viewer in and gives one a sense of being a privileged witness to epic moments in flux.
Ms. Brandon has tapped into something both primal and mystical, as though she has submerged herself in the collective subconscious of our dreams. Her compositions not only draw the viewer in, but also make the viewer feel transported to a higher plane of emotional and sensory experience, giving earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and tornados a feeling of transcendence.
What is most impressive about Ms. Brandon's work is not that she has created a single piece that evokes so much for the viewer, or even that she occasionally does so, it is that she consistently creates powerful works of art that engage the viewer and elevate that engagement to a sense of communion with the artist--and in that communion, she seems to show us forgotten scenes from our most powerful and secret dreams.

A Humble Humboldt Park Kitchen
Debbie and Devin are both artists (photography, music) and their Humboldt Park, Chicago home has a modern farmhouse feel, distinctly inspired (as they say) by "Japanese slow life" or "clean, natural elements that allow decorative objects to exist in their fullness." The kitchen makes the most of its small footprint by relying on the natural beauty of wood and of a few special objects: a white enamel teapot, a wooden bowl full of fruit, and single plant to provide some greenery.

The Argentina international is on course to lift the Ballon d'Or for a fourth consecutive year and has received plaudits from far and wide for a spectacular 12 months for club and country.
However, the Barcelona man, who needs one more goal to equal Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals in a calendar year, says he does not judge himself by the standards set by other players.
"I am honoured to be compared to both [Pele and Diego Maradona]," he told Voetbal International.
"But mostly I try to be better for me and for the team, not to surpass others."
Messi scored twice in the Blaugrana's 5-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday to seal a record breaking start to the campaign for the club in La Liga and then revealed his hunger to make up for the disappointment of the previous campaign.
"I do not know what went wrong last season. But we will try our utmost to make sure it does not happen again and make sure we are hungry for more," he added.
The 25-year-old has often enjoyed fruitful partnership with Cesc Fabregas in attack and he says the two of them have a good understanding on and off the pitch.
"Cesc and I get on really well, we always know what each other wants. He is so easy to play with," Messi continued.
"I think we both know the type of game the club wants to play."

You know by now that the foods you eat do not cause acne. And we hope you know that your acne is not a direct result of not washing your skin effectively enough. Because more people are becoming educated on skin care, those two myths are starting to lose steam, but so many people think their acne is simply hereditary, hormonal or unavoidable and they give up without fighting the good fight.
While your acne may be hereditary or hormonal, what if we told you there were things you could do that might help keep at least some of your acne at bay? Your lifestyle and your daily habits could definitely be making a difference in your acne – both positively and negatively.
Making slight changes in your daily routine can make a big difference in your skin.If you struggle with adult acne, here are some simple acne triggers that you can avoid.
Hit the Shower After the Gym. Exercising is a great way to keep your body healthy and sweating is very good for your skin, but when you're done with your workout, it's important to hit the shower right away. Wearing moisture wicking clothing is also recommended if you suffer from back acne. If you suffer from body acne, try using ZENMED's Botanical Acne Body Wash after your workout which contains oil-regulating Oregano Oil, Tea Tree, Peppermint and Rosemary.
Clean Your Cell Phone Daily. Look at your cell phone. Do you see a film of filth on the screen? (We do!) Daily makeup, oil and dirt cover the screen of your phone and time and time again, we don't even think twice about pushing it up to our face. Use a microfiber cloth daily to clean the oil, dirt and grime off of your phone.
Wash Your Makeup Brushes. Your makeup brushes are full of bacteria that can cause breakouts and most of us don't clean them often enough. We suggest washing them with a gentle body cleanser or shampoo at least once a week and letting them completely air dry before using them again.
Take off Your Hat or Scarf. If you wear a baseball cap on your down days, you might notice acne forming on your forehead. That's because the oils from your skin are trapped in by your hat. Ditch the habit of wearing a hat all day. The same goes with women who wear scarves as part of their outfit. The scarf can trap in oil around the neck and under the chin making acne more likely to form. Try treating the acne you currently have with DermaCleanse Acne Gel, a topical acne spot treatment product.
Sleep on Your Back. Your pillowcase collects dirt and oil from your hair and your skin each night. When you sleep on your back, the oils stay off of your face. We know it can be hard to get into the habit of sleeping on your back, so if you find yourself unable, try to wash your pillowcase on a more frequent basis. We have even heard of people purchasing seven pillowcases, one for each night of the week.

Compound fitness moves are an excellent way to save time and improve the quality of your workouts. By doing more than one exercise at a time, you will challenge your body to burn more calories and improve your overall fitness goals.
Always choose a set of dumbbells suitable for your fitness level. You want to challenge yourself without injury.
• Hold a dumbbell in each hand and slowly squat to the floor with the dumbbells by your sides.
• As you come back to a standing position, rotate your palms so they are facing your shoulders and curl your arms into a biceps curl.
• Then lift both hands over your head rotating your palms so they are facing forward to perform the overhead press.
• Slowly work your way back through the progression and return to the starting position.
For heavier weights, perform one set of 8. For lighter weights, try for 2 sets of 8.
• Lie flat on a mat with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
• With a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing up, lift your hips off the floor, squeeze your glutes together and push the dumbbells to the ceiling.
• Slowly lower your hips and the dumbbells back to the starting position.
For heavier weights perform two sets of 8. For lighter weights, try 3 sets of 8.
• Hold a dumbbell in one hand and step back with the same foot in a modified lunge position. You can rest your other hand on the quadriceps of the front leg for support.
• Lower the weight to the floor, and then pull it back so that the upper part of your arm is horizontal to the floor to complete the row.
• Press your weighted arm straight behind you until your entire arm is parallel to the floor to perform the triceps kick-back.
• Slowly return to the starting position. Do 8 repetitions on each side.

When you and your friends are trying to load another bowl, but someone you are with drops some of it and you are already too stoned to pick it, so whoever spilt it must then lap up all of the fallen off of the counter top or whatever surface it may have landed upon; meanwhile everyone else must chant "LICK-THE-WEED!" in unison until all the weed has been licked.
Oh shit... Jerry Garcia is trapped in my head, hey... you dumped some weed on that countertop.... LICK THE WEED...LICK THE WEED...LICK THE WEED

I'm in my early 40's and wanted a performance cue added to my tC. I was torn between the TRD exhaust and the dBX. The Flowmaster discount and rebate made it a great choice. Easy install, great construction and materials, MADE IN USA! I'm proud to hear that low tone when I start up and the growl when I accelerate on the highway. I have a smooth performance accent to my daily driver and love it! Recommend to anyone who doesn't want to get a noise box but a quality American made product.

text: Chantay 101 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 Hey All, So I did make test tiles, They look beautiful. My pots look awful. I mostly have pitting and some running off the pots over the drip line. I glazed the tiles and pots at the same time and they were in the same kiln load. The tiles are for making a glaze sample board like someone else posted. The only difference was the tiles were dipped and the pots were glazed by pouring. The pots were really dry. They had been bisqued to cone 04. I am using Highwater Little loafers, and Laguna Moroccan Sand dry glazes. I fire to cone 6. Did glazing by pouring really make that big of a difference? How do I fix this problem? I don't have large enough quantities of glaze to dip everything. I appreciate your replys. -chantay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lot # 366 (of 1727) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1912 T202 Hassan Triple Folder "Ty Cobb Steals Third" Cobb/Jennings
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $2,938
Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Of the 116 examples of this card graded to date, only seven examples have ever been graded higher by PSA. Exceptionally attractive high-grade example of the key classic Ty Cobb card from the T202 Hassan Triple Folders set. The "Ty Cobb Steals Third" center-panel card, with Ty Cobb and Hugh Jennings on the end panels, is the premier card featuring Cobb in the T202 set. In the eyes of most collectors, this is the card that defines the T202 set, the classic combination of center and end-panels. T202 Triple Folders are one of the most condition sensitive prewar issues, and are often downgraded due to the most minute flaws that are characteristic of the issue. That is why a PSA EX-MT 6 Triple Folder is statistically a far better card, and often has a far superior appearance, than a PSA EX-MT 6 card from many other vintage sets. The offered example is bright and crisp, with four square corners, and vibrant colors. Centered 35/65 L/R and 40/60 T/B. The very subtle irregular natural cut along the top and bottom (very difficult to see but present on this card) is not uncommon with T202s due to their method of production. This strong high-grade key T202 example would be a worthy addition to any advanced tobacco, Ty Cobb, or classic prewar-card collection. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000. SOLD FOR $2,938

Brodeur to make possible last start with Devils vs. Bruins
(SportsNetwork.com) - Martin Brodeur will get the start Sunday in what could be his last game in a Devils sweater, as New Jersey hosts the Presidents' Trophy-winning Boston Bruins on the final day of the regular season.
The 41-year-old Brodeur, who has led New Jersey to three Stanley Cup titles during two decades with the club, is a free agent after this season. While Brodeur hasn't made his plans clear for next season, at times he has expressed interest in coming back for 2014-15, even if it's for a team other than the Devils.
A first-round pick by New Jersey in 1990, Brodeur has spent his entire career with the Devils and the future Hall of Famer has racked up numerous NHL records during his career, including most wins (687) and shutouts (124).
"It's kind of hard. I'm just going to go out and play like it's another game, but definitely knowing in the back of my mind it might be my last one I'm going to play here," said Brodeur of Sunday's start.
Brodeur will wind up starting New Jersey's final two games of the season over Cory Schneider, the man tabbed to replace the legendary goaltender as the Devils' No. 1. Schneider started 43 games this season for New Jersey, while Sunday's outing will mark Brodeur's 39th start of the campaign.
The Devils, who were eliminated from the playoffs for a second straight season earlier this week, have lost three straight games. The last two setbacks have come after overtime, dropping New Jersey to 0-13 this season in games decided by shootouts.
Brodeur made 28 saves through regulation and OT in Friday's home game against the New York Islanders, but Josh Bailey beat the veteran netminder with a spin-o-rama in the second round of the shootout to send the visitors to a 3-2 victory at Prudential Center.
After New York's Frans Nielsen and Damien Brunner of the Devils exchanged markers to open the shootout, Bailey charged down the right side and cut in front before spinning around and backhanding the disc past Brodeur to put the Islanders on top.
Jaromir Jagr then had the puck roll off his stick at the other end before Ryan Strome skated down the left side and used the same move as Bailey to beat Brodeur and send the Devils to their 17th straight shootout lost, extending a dubious NHL record.
Ryan Carter and Patrik Elias each scored once for New Jersey in the loss. The Devils fell to 20-11-9 as the home team after the setback.
Brodeur's Devils will take on a Boston team that already has locked up home- ice advantage throughout the playoffs. The Bruins did so with Saturday's 4-1 home win over the Buffalo Sabres, clinching the franchise's first Presidents' Trophy since 1989-90.
David Krejci scored twice and Tuukka Rask made 24 saves to help the Bruins wrap up the league's best regular-season record.
"It's a nice achievement," said Krejci about the Presidents' Trophy, "but we're trying to accomplish something different."
Patrice Bergeron netted his 30th goal and Gregory Campbell also scored for the Bruins, who will host Detroit in the opening round of the playoffs.
Boston is 23-11-6 as the visiting team this season, but has lost four straight (0-1-3) on the road.
The Bruins have claimed eight of the last nine meetings with the Devils, but the clubs have split two encounters in 2013-14. Both teams picked up a road victory in the season series and Boston has won four straight and six of seven in New Jersey.

Many owners/operators of process plants are required to use or implement specific design and engineering applications like AVEVA PDMS. Learn how workflows and third-party tools can help to overcome the challenges of data exchange between Autodesk, Inc., and non-Autodesk Plant Solutions in a multidisciplinary design environment. Learn how we can use AutoCAD Plant 3D software and Revit software to modify and enrich an existing plant design management system (PDMS) project, and how to hand over AutoCAD Plant 3D and Revit models in PDMS format, eliminating the need for remodeling. See how existing PDMS models may be brought into AutoCAD Plant 3D and Revit for work sharing. Also, see how we can convert PDMS catalogue/spec databases into AutoCAD Plant 3D to be used in projects, and how AutoCAD Plant 3D models are converted into intelligent PDMS models using the XMpLant format. Revit is often a preferred tool for architectural and structural design, and Revit models may also be converted into intelligent PDMS models. We will share sample projects and customer stories.
Checklists save lives. Surgeons and airline pilots use checklists to make sure they don't miss important steps in surgery or during flight. Checklists may save the life of an AutoCAD Plant 3D software project as well. This class will cover key steps for getting an AutoCAD Plant 3D software project underway successfully. We'll also look at how to set up the project directories and drawings for best practices' use of external references and for utilizing a plant coordinate system. This in turn enables us to overcome the large coordinates issue and actually work with a state plane coordinate system (SPCS)—and far from 0,0 origin! We'll also demonstrate checklist steps for incorporating models from other Autodesk, Inc., products such as Revit software and Advance Steel software; for successfully generating isometrics and orthographics; and for using an advanced feature in isometrics that creates these isos in the SPCS. You'll be provided with all of these checklists as a way to retain this information and to expand on them for your AutoCAD Plant 3D software projects.
This class will cover an introduction of laser scanning, including time and cost of performing the scan; how to autoregister scans using ReCAP software; and the usage of the scan data for design assistant, construction quality control, and operation and maintenance. We will use educational, theme park, and airport projects as case studies to illustrate the benefits of using laser scanning.
This session will describe the activity developed for the retrofitting of Teatro Lirico Opera House, a XIX sec. complex building located in the heart of Milan, Italy. For the building's particular shape and complexity, taking advantage of laser scanning, ReCap software, and Revit software was the key to delivering a model faithful to the original, for renovation activity, visualization, and facility management.
Learn how to utilize InfraWorks 360 for Conceptual master planning and visualization. This class will show you how to get started with creating a city from various data sources and how to speed up your conceptual design process. Learn how to re-use various data types from Revit, Sketchup and 3ds max (fbx,DAE), which can be used to develop multiple design proposals within a city context, whilst also using native InfraWorks 360 tools to develop roads, water & coverage areas. See how this new software can help you improve your productivity and reduce unnecessary hours on conceptual design visualization for master planning in your organisation.
The technology and tools for computational design in the built environment have never been more powerful or progressive. To complement their specific discipline knowledge, the current and next generation of designers and engineers entering the global workforce are armed with skills ranging from sketching to programming to Building Information Modeling (BIM). As buildings have grown in complexity so too has the power and ubiquity of simulation tools used by different specialist disciplines, with information and processes getting more disconnected up until data is transferred to a common format for delivery. It is time to shift focus away from data toward the spaces between the data. By extrapolating recent innovations in structural engineering processes—such as real-time feedback and gesture-based simulation using Robot Structural Analysis software—we will explore the possibilities of multidisciplinary building simulation using visual programming applications such as Dynamo software to control Revit software and other packages.

For years there has been a conceptual massing part of Revit software that could enable designers to do many of the things they can do in Trimble's SketchUp modeling program directly inside of Revit software, but this has never really caught on and designers keep returning to SketchUp for ease of use. Now with the help of FormIt software you can take your project from conceptual design all the way to construction documents with these 2 connected products without having to leave the .RVT file format. You can begin the conceptual design in FormIt software and once the design is settled continue the working drawings process inside Revit software. There is also the added benefit of being able to work in FormIt software on your iPad or any computer in a web-based version, enabling for anytime-anywhere design to happen. FormIt software also has a feature that enables real-time team collaboration on a design. This means the multiple members of a team can be simultaneously working on the same file from different locations and different FormIt platforms.

This class will showcase new high-performance building design workflows from Autodesk, Inc., and their applications in the early design stages. We will explain and explore through the case study application current technology and new features in FormIt 360 software and Revit software. This class will cover processes and best practices for using conceptual analysis tools as integrated, iterative, and collaborative parts of the design process from a Design Team's point of view. It is critical to use performance analysis tools early when aiming for high-performance design goals. New high-performance building design workflows are making analysis tools more accessible and easier to use earlier in the design process than ever before. Analysis tools can go a long way toward informing design decisions, saving time, and improving the usefulness and validity of your design.
This lab is designed to give users hands-on experience with FormIt software. We will go step-by-step through creating geometries in FormIt, bringing geometries in from other programs, modeling them together to form a cohesive model utilizing basic and advanced tools, creating and applying materials, adding levels, reporting different object properties, grouping objects, arraying objects, running energy and daylight analyses, starting a sharing session with others, and then transitioning the model to Revit software. You will gain firsthand experience with utilizing this new and powerful toolset that can literally travel anywhere with you.
Revit software's External Services framework enables developers to tailor the behavior of built-in Revit software features to the level that was not possible with conventional external command-based add-ins. External Services have been used as a base to support customized MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) calculations, access externally stored data, replace built-in export/import filters, and many other features in Revit software. As Revit software continues to grow there are new external services introduced with every major release, which gives developers new opportunities to provide their solutions on top of the Revit core functionality. Unfortunately, this feature has not been well adapted by the external public yet, quite possibly due to the lack of comprehensive documentation—which is exactly the gap this class will attempt to fill. We'll explain the framework's main ideas and clearly illustrate the most anticipated uses. We will also present a hands-on coding approach as an example of a simple MEP friction calculator.
Whether your company has a rich history with Revit software or you've recently decided to take the plunge, developing and maintaining internal training is a tall order. BuroHappold Engineering New York has developed a thorough yet practical internal training program for its offices worldwide and would like to share the outcome of the challenges that were faced along the way. With 90% of the projects in our New York office being Revit-software based, new engineers have a limited amount of time to adjust to the technology and the corresponding company standards. This demand placed an enormous amount of pressure on the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Team to create a training program that was fast, furious, and efficient. You will leave with a clear understanding of the steps necessary for ensuring that engineers are ready to hit the ground running in Revit software projects.
In this hands-on class you will learn the basics of how to use lookup tables (Revit 2015 software and above) within your families.
