26 January 2001
Galerie Lambiek proudly presented the vanguard young Dutch artists Stefan van Dinther and Tobias Schalken, starting 26 January 2001.
It was a splendid opportunity to have a fresh look at the works of these self-proclaimed 'masters of sequence' who lack neither ambition nor a fine sense of irony.
Schalken (1972) and van Dinther (1969) are widely seen as two of the most talented Dutch comics artists active today. With their self-published debut 'Eiland' (1997), they instantly made their name. Where the lot of their colleagues make their debut in existing magazines like Incognito and Zone 5300, Van Dinther and Schalken - then still joined by Eric van der Heijden - chose to immediately present their very own publication. It was clear from the start that they preferred to go their own way. On the level of content, Eiland stood out in comparison to other comics. Van Dinther's poignant graphic experiments surprised and Schalken's poetic paintings impressed. With the first Eiland, expectations were raised that were more than met by the follow-up second (self-published, 1998) and third Eiland (Bries, 2000). With every new Eiland, Schalken and Van Dinther kept on growing to new heights. This is vividly illustrated by their most remarkable contributions to the international comics anthology Comix 2000 from the renowned French comics publisher L'Association.
Since 'Eiland 3' was published in English, there has been international acclaim for the duo's talents.
"One of the most original and exciting comics I have read in a very long time," wrote Bart Beaty in The Comics Journal (#228).
The inventiveness and maturity that characterize the Eiland comics can also be seen in the duo's other works. Ever since their years at Breda art school Sint-Joost, Schalken and Van Dinther have been involved in other disciplines, like web design (Van Dinther) and interactive installations (Schalken). The exhibition featured a sample of these works next to the Eiland originals, and was on show in Galerie Lambiek through March 2001.

Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said late Saturday that she did not know the ages or genders of the victims. Asiana Flight 214 from Seoul had more than 300 passengers and crew members aboard when it made a hard landing, lost the tail and caught on fire at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday morning. More than 180 people were taken to nine area hospitals, but the majority had relatively minor injuries. As of Saturday evening the number of fatalities stood at two while at least five people were reported in critical condition. The flight originated in Shanghai, China with a stopover in Seoul. One of the survivors of the crash said there was no warning before the plane touched down hard. Vedpal Singh, his arm in a sling, said at the airport on Saturday that he heard a loud sound after the plane touched down and knew something was horribly wrong. He said the plane then went silent before people tried to get out anyway they could. The entire incident lasted about 10 seconds. Singh was visibly shaken. He was traveling with his wife and at least one child from South Korea, where he works, and said he was in the middle of the aircraft. He said it was "miraculous" that he survived. 8:27 p.m. Update - More than 425 Flights Canceled - USA Today More than 425 flights had been canceled at SFO as of 10:55 p.m ET, according flight-tracking firm FlightAware. USA Today story: Chaos Awaits SFO Fliers After Asiana Crash 8:07 p.m. Update - All Accounted For - NPR Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said in another news conference that everyone has been accounted for, and the death toll from the accident remains at two. San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee noted the "tremendous city response" to the crash, including translators dispatched from various organizations to assist the passengers and grief counselors from the health department who made themselves available on the site. 7:20 p.m. Update Officials are giving new numbers, indicating that there is now only one person whose status is unknown. Here's the latest breakdown: 307 on board 2 fatalities 181 transported to hospitals (49 immediately for serious injuries, 132 sent later) 123 who did not need to be transported, remaining in the terminals Ezra Shaw/Getty Images 5:40 p.m. Update Officials at SFO gave a brief update regarding the status of those who were on board flight 214 when it crashed: 181 out of the 307 people on board the flight were transported to local hospitals. 49 of the 181 were in series condition. An additional 132 were later also transported after being triaged. 123 people were uninjured and accounted for in the terminal. Two fatalities are confirmed. That leaves one person who is unaccounted for. Limited departures and arrivals have resumed on 2 of SFO's 4 runways. Officials recommend for any passengers traveling through SFO to check with their airline before coming to the airport. Listen to the 5:40 update here. 4:00 p.m. Update At a 4 p.m. news conference, San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said there were 291 passengers and 16 crew members aboard the plane. She said 48 people were transported to local hospitals. One-hundred ninety people were taken to a "safety zone" at the airport. Eighty-two of those people have been or are being transported to hospitals. Hayes-White said approximately 60 people are still unaccounted for. Hayes-White confirmed that there have been two casualites. Dave Johnson, FBI Special Agent in charge, added at the press conference that "at this time there is no indication of terrorism involved." Click the "Listen Now" button above to hear the entire press conference. About an hour before the San Francisco update, Chairwoman Deborah Hersman gave an update from the National Transportation Safety Board regarding the Asiana crash. Listen to it here. Here are some photos from an extensive slideshow compiled by mercurynews.com (John Green/Bay Area News Group) From AP San Francisco General Hospital spokeswoman Rachel Kagan told KCBS that 10 passengers from the jetliner had been transported to the hospital. She said the hospital received two children and eight adults, all in critical condition. She said tents were being set up outside the hospital for triage. A video clip posted to Youtube shows smoke coming from a silver-colored jet on the tarmac. Passengers could be seen jumping down the inflatable emergency slides. FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said the Boeing 777 was supposed to land on runway 28 left at the airport. She said the sequence of events was still unclear, but it appeared the plane landed and then crashed. The airline is based in Seoul, South Korea. Its website says its Boeing 777 can carry between 246 to 300 passengers. San Francisco International Airport is closed and flights are being diverted to other airports. The National Transportation Safety Board says it's sending a team of investigators to San Francisco to probe the crash of an Asiana airliner. NTSB spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said Saturday that NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman would head the team. Sac International Airport The Sacramento Bee reports that SF 16 flights have been diverted to Sacramento. Read more. From NPR: The San Francisco fire chief says two people died Saturday in the crash-landing at San Francisco International Airport of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 from Seoul, South Korea. Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White says everyone who had been on board the flight is accounted for. National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Debbie Hersman said investigators were being deployed to the scene. "Obviously, we have a lot of work to do," she said, noting that it was too early to tell what had caused the crash. Passenger accounts and eyewitness reports in the first hour after the crash indicated that many of those on board were able to escape before the crippled Boeing 777 caught fire. Videos and photos showed the escape ramps deployed and passengers walking away. Stephanie Turner, a visitor to California, was walking back to her hotel in view of the airport when the crash occurred. She had taken out her camera to snap a shot of a jet waiting on the runway, but then saw the Asiana plane coming in for a landing. "And then I noticed that the tail was very, very low. The angle was bad. And so as it came in, the tail of the plane struck first," she tells NPR. Turner says the tail of the plane broke off and the aircraft twisted down the runway, smoke rising. When the white escape slides appeared against the black smoke, she took it as a positive sign. "We're just thrilled and stunned that so many survived the crash. We didn't think it was possible," she says. The crash happened around 11:30 a.m. local time (2:30 p.m. ET). It's now almost 11 p.m. ET. We're following the news as it comes in and have been posting updates. Update at 7:57 p.m. PT. Breaking Down The Numbers: Officials are giving new numbers, indicating that there is now only one person whose status is unknown. Here's the latest breakdown: 307 on board2 fatalities181 transported to hospitals (49 immediately for serious injuries, 132 sent later)123 who did not need to be transported, remaining in the terminals Update at 4:30 p.m. PT. Fire Chief Gives New "Fluid" Numbers: The fire chief said there were 307 people on the plane, and that about 60 are still unaccounted for. She also said there are two confirmed fatalities, but that all numbers remain "fluid." At the same news conference, David J. Johnson, FBI special agent in charge of the San Francisco Division, said there was "no indication of terrorism involved." He said the FBI would continue working with the NTSB on the investigation. Update at 4:15 p.m. PT. Eyewitness Account: Krista Seiden, 26, saw the Asiana plane on the runway as she was boarding her own flight to Phoenix. The daughter of a pilot and a flight attendant, Seiden told NPR she knew it was a crash immediately: "There's really no mistaking a big commercial airliner sitting on the runway and billowing clouds of smoke." She said she saw the plane skidding along the runway, fuming with black smoke. Though they couldn't hear the crash from inside the terminal, as soon as passengers saw wreckage "there was just a lot of uncertainty and commotion." Update at 3:13 p.m. PT. Reports From San Francisco Hospitals: Mills-Peninsula Hospital reports having five people who were injured in the crash, but spokeswoman Margie O'Clair said "more are expected" and had no information on the patients' condition. San Francisco General Hospital says it has 10 patients from the accident, eight adults and two children. "All patients are in critical condition," according to a statement from the hospital's communications officer, Rachael Kagan.

Download the GPIO Module for RiscOS Pi from here: http://www.tankstage.co.uk/software.html - if you click on the first link on the page (the link is to a file named GPIO.zip) a download dialog window will pop up. In the window you will see a folder icon being displayed. Drag and drop the folder icon from the download dialog window to the SD card icon in the lower left corner of the RiscOS panel. RiscOS makes intense use of drag and drop, one of the things that are different from Windows or Linux.
Click on the sdcard icon mentioned above and a folder window will pop up containing more folders ('directories'). One of these is called GPIO. Double click on the GPIO folder and another folder window pops up. It contains two programs: !GPIOConfig and !PiLed as well as other files and folders. One of the files is called GPIO and its icon tells us that this is a 'module' file.
Now, to load the module in order to let RiscOS know about the RPi's GPIO hardware, we need to run a 'TaskWindow'. This is a command line tool that we need to load the module. So press ctrl+F12 and a new TaskWindow will open. The asterisk displayed is the prompt. Now we need to load the GPIO module for RiscOS and this is done with the RMLoad command. The example below assumes you have placed the GPIO folder you downloaded before in the top directory of your sdcard.
This will load the module file GPIO from the location SDFS::RISCOSpi.$.GPIO which is the GPIO folder on the sdcard. There should be no error messages after you entered the RMLoad command.
Code: Select all
RMLoad SDFS::RISCOSpi.$.GPIO.GPIO
To see if the module has been loaded and is working, open the GPIO folder you downloaded (the one on your sdcard) and run the !PiLed demo. A task window opens up and informs you about the selected GPIO pin mode. Press space to turn the activity (hdd status) LED of your Pi on, hit space again to turn it off.
To see BASIC code of the !PiLed program, hold down shift and left click the program icon and the application folder pops up. There is a BASIC file there called !RunImage. Again hold down shift and left click on the !RunImage file. This will open up an editor with the BASIC code. Enjoy reading.

Hello Friends:
I didn't really know how to approach this week's weigh in – because while there was a lot I did right this week, it was kind of a weird week. I didn't go overboard on anything, but I got tied up and didn't track on MyFitnessPal for two days, and then I exercised and was active but took it down a notch over the weekend because I was sad (my cousin passed away unexpectedly this weekend. Bummer. A reminder for all of us to live our lives with purpose because you really truly never know when your number is going to be called.) So, I'm not altogether surprised that I didn't hit 2 pounds down, but I'm not devastated either – because I hit 1 pound down. I know what I need to fix for next week – which as usual – is more cardio. I'm behind on my goal but I feel good about keeping consistent with my weigh-ins and definitely making more progress than I was before. I try and think that even if the scale isn't showing what I want, I'm noticing other things – like more energy from working out, or my jeans feeling a little bit looser. And hey – a pound lost is a pound lost – so that's great!
Here are some of the weight loss high points from this week:1) I ate TONS of veggies this week. This was a yummy and simple cucumber, tomato and feta salad with some green bell peppers. So good and so filling.
On the day we got news of my cousin Josh passing, I didn't want to work out – but Matt and I took a nice sunset stroll through the park. It was lowkey and we ended up clocking in a 3 mile walk – just enough to make me feel a little bit better and burn up a small sweat.
I had a craving for spaghetti on Sunday night but knew that the way we usually make it (ground beef, wine, olive oil) would be too fattening. So I did half the amount of ground beef, a tsp of olive oil, and EIGHT different kinds of vegetables. It came out amazing – super chunky and filling but chock full of veggies, so I needed very few noodles. So good.
This next week is going to be interesting as I'm getting on a plane Friday to head to Josh's funeral – so I'll be surrounded by family and food. I'll need to remember not to eat my emotions! How is your week going?

text: Profile of a Top MBA Blogger from Kellogg by: Greg Spielberg on June 28, 2010 | 2,534 Views June 28, 2010 Copy Link Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Share on LinkedIn Share on WhatsApp Share on Reddit After four years as an IBM engineer, Orlando O'Neill, Kellogg Class of 2011, still hadn't gotten a promotion. He worked hard, kept his head down, skipped networking events to put in extra time and helped colleagues any chance he could. His friends – the same ones he graduated college with – gained more desirable positions, but not O'Neill. Meanwhile, he was taking on increasing responsibilities and working higher-level projects. "I thought if I became an expert at something and worked my butt off, the contributions would be acknowledged," says O'Neill. The money and the new job titles didn't come, but still, in meetings with managers O'Neill kept cool and ignored the issue. Even when there were promotions, he seemed to hear about them only after they filled up. "I wasn't connected enough so I didn't receive enough information." Turns out the meritocratic dynamic was being mediated by a factor much larger than O'Neill or IBM: The recession. Like many other companies, IBM had instituted a hiring freeze. Managers, scared to lose any of their employees and cut off from the pool of external talent, placated unhappy workers with promotions. "Had I networked, I would have understood the underlying rules of the game at IBM and been able to manage it better," says O'Neill. Once he finally found out the rules, O'Neill brought up the promotion issue and "one came down the line within a few weeks." At the same time O'Neill was stuck in an information-flow eddy, he looked to channel his division's institutional knowledge into a reservoir. IBM was changing so rapidly in the middle of the last decade, documentation in his server and technology division was verbal and informal. The release time for products was shorter and shorter, O'Neill says. "As soon as you wrote something down, it had to be updated." He convinced his manager to allow for formalized documentation through a Wiki. It became a valuable resource for the division and outside consultants who constantly needed to come up to speed. In his first few weeks at Kellogg in August of 2009, O'Neill had a similar idea. Why not build a Kellogg B-School blog to collect the perspectives of his class? He secured KelloggMBAClassof2011.com, but when school started, self-doubt got the best of him. "When it came time to start asking random classmates I haven't met before, I felt uncomfortable and abandoned the idea." His Web domain is a gem of Search Engine Marketing pulls in "ridiculous" traffic that O'Neill credits to Kellogg not himself. And although the blog isn't communal, it's prolific. The rising second-year student has already posted 65 times in 2010. He earned the Clear Admit Best of Blogging prize for Top Student Blogger, Most Entertaining Student Blog, Best Job/Internship Advice, Best Representation of Academics and Best Single Post by a Student. The post, a POV video of O'Neill walking to class (with a soundtrack), "was hysterical," says Windsor. "If I was an applicant and I wanted to learn about the town, I would have loved that." O'Neill sees his blog as a way to relieve stress, meet people online and keep friends and family updated on life – not as a professional motive. He earned his summer internship in Boston Consulting Group's Dallas office before starting at Kellogg, so doesn't have to worry about impressing potential recruiters. But, O'Neill recognizes the power that self-publishing can yield. "You never know who's going to stumble upon what you're writing. Before you know it, you might have built yourself a reputation. Something I don't think everyone realizes is that companies watch this stuff." Comments or questions about this article? Email us.

The Situation: I MIGHT Be Ditching 'Jersey Shore'
First Vinny splits ... and now, The Situation?!?!?!
Mr. Sitch was strolling through Jersey yesterday, with a gaggle of chicks following behind him, when a photog asked, "Mike, are you splitting from the show or what bro?"
He didn't exactly deny it ... and when the photog wished him "luck" -- Mike replied, "I don't need luck ... I don't need it."
Sources tell TMZ ... The Situation has been antsy lately ... telling producers he doesn't need the show.
We're told he actually WALKED OUT of the house alone yesterday after expressing his frustration with the show ... but he's back in the house.
For now.

All Terrain Powder Freestyle
Type of Rider
The versatile nature of this board makes it ideal for being a well rounded quiver killer. The Lumberjack is a versatile weapon with its super wide waist that is designed for destroying powder. Whether you're riding wide open alpine bowls or tight tree runs this board will rip a hard turn with ease in fresh snow or a groomer. The base shape and flex pattern create a board that can shred powder, rip a groomer and play in the park.
Board Shape
The flat zone extends past the bindings to the contact points creating consistent flex, pop, and stability. Zero Camber combined with our Sideways Rocker to create the playfulness and versatility of the shape. This is a perfect shape for those who like to "play" on their board.
Found only on our Zero Camber, the minimally lifted edges on the Sideways Rocker creates a loose, catch free feel perfect for the park. It also helps funnel snow when riding in powder and allows for insanely quick spins and transitions. This is a great shape for those who like to "play" on their board.
The Dual Arc Edges yield a multiple radius sidecut that creates superb edge hold and quick maneuverability when laying into a carve. GRIP ON DEMAND!
Lightweight carbon adds strength and durability in high stress areas. The carbon focuses energy to specific areas of the core creating insane amounts of pop.

Survey Shows Cost Catching Up to Taste in Food-Buying Decisions
As prices rise, Americans are beginning to pay almost as much attention to the cost of food as they do to its taste. That's one of the findings of the 2011 Food & Health Survey, recently published by the International Food Industry Council Foundation (IFICF).
The survey, based on online responses from 1,000 Americans, revealed the following:
• Although 87 percent of respondents said that taste remains their top consideration when buying food, 79 percent said that price affects their food-buying decisions-up six percent from 2010 and 15 percent from 2006. Respondents reported that lower prices would be the top motivator in getting them to make healthier food purchases.
• Fewer Americans are concerned about their weight this year than a year ago. While 50 percent of respondents described themselves as overweight this year, last year 57 percent gave themselves the same description.
Despite the fact that half of respondents expressed concern about their weight, their other answers seem to show ambivalence about the topic. For example, 43 percent of respondents this year said they are sedentary, up from 37 percent in 2010. Also, the percentage of people who said they are trying to lose weight declined significantly, from 77 percent in 2010 to 69 percent this year.
Only nine percent of those surveyed could accurately estimate the number of calories they should consume daily, and only nine percent bothered tracking their intake. According to research, dieters who track their calories lose twice as much weight as people who don't. The key to tracking, though, is knowing how many calories an individual should consume daily. That number depends on age, sex, height, and amount of physical activity.

Twenty years ago today, Juan Luna and Jim Degorski entered a Brown's Chicken and Pasta restaurant in Palatine and committed one of the most awful crimes in Illinois history, killing seven people in what jurors later found to be premeditated murder.
The pair escaped justice for nearly a decade until investigators caught a break. Degorski had told an ex-girlfriend of his role in the killings, and a friend who overheard her talking about it in 2002 went to police.
Another piece of evidence was crucial to the case. Investigators had saved a discarded meal from the scene, and as DNA analysis improved, they were able to match DNA left on a chicken bone with Juan Luna's saliva. The two were arrested in May 2002.
Luna was convicted of murder in 2007, and Degorski followed two years later. Jurors spared them the death penalty, but both are serving life sentences with no possibility of parole.
Joy Ehlenfeldt, 38, daughter of slain restaurant owners Richard and Lynn Ehlenfeldt, said this year's milestone has been harder than most because her parents have been gone for more than half of her life.
She said she hoped the memory of the crime would lead to action to reduce violence in America.
"Every time (a mass shooting) happens, people say, 'This will make the difference,' " said Ehlenfeldt, now a Chicago physical therapist. "We really need to say enough is enough. I don't want the community of Palatine to have this as a black mark. It was a great place to grow up. But we need to remember that this happened, and is still happening, and we need to deal with it with greater urgency."

We've all seen some good shounen and shoujo anime and manga right? My personal favorites are Fullmetal Alchemist and Sailor Moon. I want you to create a wallpaper with two or more anime or mangas associated with each to create a mixed wallpaper of shoujo and shounen. For those who don't know what those are, Shounen is anime geared more towards teenage guys and Shoujo is anime geared more towards teenage girls.
Some examples of shounen would be Fullmetal Alchemist, InuYasha, Naruto
Some examples of shoujo would be Tokyo Mew Mew, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon
stuff like that. You have one month. Good luck!

'30 Rock' Final Season: Julianne Moore to Return
The more we progress through '30 Rock's' final season, the more the impossible seems to happen. Not only are both Liz Lemon and Jenna Maroney finally married (not to one another), but the acclaimed series itself will finally close its doors with the January 31 series finale. And as the show cycles back through past guest stars, will Jack Donaghy find his happy ending as well? Could a returning Julianne Moore provide the answer? Details inside!
The trip down memory lane for '30 Rock's' final season continues, hiring yet another past guest star for a return appearance. This time around, the Associated Press reports that 'Game Change' star Julianne Moore will reprise her role as Nancy Donovan for the show's final season, Jack's one-time love interest and fellow Massachusetts native.
Fans of the series will recall that Jack and Nancy eventually got together, before the relationship was quickly dashed by Avery (Elizabeth Banks)'s pregnancy. With Liddy born, and Jack and Avery amicably divorced, might the road be paved for a happily-ever-after between Jack and Nancy? Will Jack close out the series by stepping down as an NBC executive and returning to his Boston roots?
Few other details are known of the January 31 finale, but it's been established that NBC and 'Law & Order: SVU' star Ice-T will put in an appearance. A number of past '30 Rock' figures are also expected to show up in season 7.
What say you? Could Julianne Moore's return spell a happy ending for Jack Donaghy, or another simple reprise? The show will return on January 10, 2013, but tell us how you think '30 Rock' will end in the comments!

Infiniti G35 Bike Racks
I have checked with every bike store in my town and I have been told there is no bike rack that will safely go on the G35 Cpe, and you cant put a hitch on it without cutting the car. I heard only one place in CT called Bird Automotive has invented a safe way of installing bike racks, golf carrier, and ski/snowboard racks for these cars and it can be ordered on the Internet but the cost is $400. They are two are steel pipes that run underneath the car between the factory tailpipes, recessed behind the bumper. You attach the U shaped pipes under the spare tire well with 3 bolts. That is the only drilling that has to be done. You can really see the pipes underneath and you simply slide the custom made bike rack into these receiver pipes and you have a bike rack similiar to a hitch bike rack. There are pictures on this website and what is nice is that the bikes to dont touch the car at all and you can still open your trunk. Does anyone have one of these G35 bike racks? If so, please tell me how they like it. I am thinking of ordering it but I hate to pay the cost for one. Anyone find any other type of bike rack that works. A lot of the bike stores first will say they have one but when they realize my car is not the Sedan but the Coupe they say it cant be done because there is no way to make it secure.
joefro Member Posts: 2...would you want to put a bike rack on this beautiful car anyway? Borrow a friends/neighbors/relatives car if you need to and let them use the G. Please don't risk scratching it up, or be seen with a bunch of bikes hanging off the back of your ride. This car is too COOL for that. :shades:0
susangfx Member Posts: 7ana1,
I had the same issue as you! I was NOT told, however, that no rack would safely secure a bike on the coupe. They sold me a SERAS rack (don't know the model # -sorry!)...and I've been cringing ever since. I watch my bike in the rear view mirror ALL THE TIME and hate to watch my bike move in the slightest...
I get nervous every time I need to cart my bike anywhere because there is no real way for a rack to be totally secure on this car. I can say though that I've been more scared of losing my bike than scratching the car. The rack is well protected with thick foam and rubberized gripper hook thingees. The Seras carrier has not damaged my car..but the poor G DOES look weird with the bike hangin off the back. Even my $2300 carbon bike... It just doesn't look right on the G. :P
Like joefro said - "the car is too COOL for that". hee hee
Anyway.. my solution to this problem and others is to graduate up to the FX35. LOL!! My boyfriend said that my bike doesn't like the G (even though beautiful and powerful). I will be sad to leave my '05 beauty...but will be oh so happy that I have room to haul more than just a## now.0
crkline2 Member Posts: 20Thanks for the link to Bird Automotive. Since I normally bike starting from my house, this is normally not an issue, and if I do take my bike, I can put it into the back seat, by removing the front wheel. I just lay a couple of blankets down first, to protect the seat, and in she goes.
Not sure which would is worse - a bike rack on the back or a bike in the back seat.0
sstricker Member Posts: 1I thought I would post a solution since I did actually put a Yakima roof rack on my 2008 G35x. I simply bought the Yakima specs for a 2005 G35 and got the Q Towers, 48" crossbars, and 2 sets of Q35 Clips (this is the key item as they fit the G35 door/roof line perfectly). Follow the directions but you may actually need to bring the spacing between the bars and inch or so in due to the newer profile. If you run you fingers along the underside of the roof/door frame, you will actually feel purposefully build notches in the frame for the Q35 clips!
After I installed it I drove from Denver to Vail in 30-50 MPH winds with skis and a snowboard on top with zero problems. The beauty if the system is that all you have to do when you don't need it is to unhinge the Q Towers and remove the rack. That way you can avoid all the harsh ridicule on web blogs for putting a rack on "such a beautiful car"... LOL0
nycjap Member Posts: 5Do you have pictures of this on your car? I am getting mine Saturday and live in Denver0
Anybody using a Thule roof rack on a G35 sedan?
I've always used Thule racks - on Saabs, Honda Accords and my Honda Pilot. Now that we have a G35 sedan, I need to see if I can "rack" that vehicle.
Let me know if you're doing so.
There's a guy on G35Driver that took a chance and bought the Thule roof rack for the 2006 G35.
He installed it and it fits perfectly.0
I did the next best thing and leased an EX35 also and mounted my rack to that. I couldn't see any way to make it work on the 07/08's.0
I'll find the post and drop some pics of his car here, next chance I get.
I had to do a doubletake myself when I saw it.
It looks perfect and he said that it went on with no trouble at all.0
captchip44 Member Posts: 1Can you tell me the Q-Clip NUMBER that fit your G35?0
zareth Member Posts: 1Any followup on how the Yakima racks are holding up a g35 sedan? I unknowingly leased the car and was told by the dealer that racking the car was no problem. Anyone had any kind of roof rack for a while that has performed well?0
Jifffer Member Posts: 2Just tried my Thule roof rack (purchased for an Altima 2.5S 2005) and it seems to fit pretty snugly on my Infiniti G35x 2008. As previously mentioned, Thule recommends the same rack for the Altima (05) and the G35 (06). I'm quite sure that Nissan/Infiniti are using pretty much the same sized frame for both the Altima, Maxima and the G35-G37.
A small gap seems to appear between the rubber on the door which connects with the roof but it does not appear overly testing. I would probably not keep the roof rack all on the time - but for a few weekend trips during any season - I'm quite sure this wouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps.0
jayrodathome Member Posts: 1I used the Q towers and the Q35 clips on my 2008 G35x
It worked perfectly. It whistled at first but after I put the fairing on it no longer made any noise. I didn't follow the M1 Measurements but I followed the rest of them. If anyone would like I can email you pictures and my measurements. my email is [email protected]
I waited and waited for them to make a rack until i found this posting. After reading above i decided to do it and it took me about 2hrs. and $500
This car looks awesome with ski racks! I drive it to the mountain all of the time. Good handling, Fast, and all wheel drive. It's the perfect recreational vehicle now.0
surf2602 Member Posts: 1i would like see the pix and the measurements. ive waited too. leased in nov of 06 and finally some results. i wouldnt bother but i love the car and pamperred it, so im gonna buy it. between surfing snowboarding and biking a need one baaaad0
After reading these posts and others on different sites, I went to my local rack shop and asked them to put on some Yakima racks. They deal in both Yakima and Thule, and after some discussion, the installer told me he'd sell me a Yakima rack, but he'd recommend a Thule more for this kind of roof profile. He also said he'd install the Thule, but not the Yakima (and emphasized it was just for this kind of car profile). Something to do with being able to tighten down the rack better for this kind of roofline.
I'm brand agnostic here, so I don't really want to start a debate on the merits of the two, and for simplicity's sake went with the Thule, and had them install it (I've since taken it off and installed it myself).
The nice thing about having them do it is that based on the slope of the roofline, he ended up putting longer clips on the back doors than the front. He had those at the shop, and had I bought the whole setup myself I would have had a sloping rack versus a level one. He also used T-bolts to secure my bike racks on, giving the whole thing a much more aerodynamic look. I've since driven two or three hundred miles with bikes on the roof, on freeways and winding roads, and had no problems. The rack is on as tight as when it was first installed. And the base setup was for the 2006 model - just the longer clips were not included.
I've included pictures of the car which shows the longer clips on the back and shorter ones in front, and the aero look with the t-bolts instead of the regular rack attachments. Can't wait to take the car up to the mountains too.

kilhl Member Posts: 1Nice, is just what I need. What is the Thule rack model you installed? Any other information will be helpful. Actually I need it for snowboards~0
Hi Kilhl - sorry, been offline for a while. The rack model is the same as for the 2006 Infiniti G35 (you can look this up on the Thule website). Bars are the Aero bars - keep in mind that the clips on the back are longer in my install than on the standard rack install due to the sloping roof. That's why I recommend going to an installer. As far as snowboards, all you need is the snowboard attachment. I did not get this as I usually take my 4 wheel up to the mountain so I don't get chips in the paint from the gravel!
Good luck0
zapacoman Member Posts: 1IGM,
That looks great! How long does it take to install this? I'm assuming no drilling/screwing is required, correct? I am looking to only put the rack on the roof when I will be using it ... perhaps 1x mo. Is this feasible?0
Sorry - wasn't checking back as much as I should. Yes, no drilling or screwing, and I take it off when I'm not using it for a few months. I will say that after using this for a while, I could also easily go with what a lot of others did - putting a hitch on if I had only bikes. However, that doesn't work so well for skis or snowboards....0

You clap, so I clap: Peer pressure drives applause 19 июня 2013, 13:11

If you have just seen a play that you privately think is drivel, will you keep silent when everyone around you demands an encore?
Possibly not.
Combining a psychological experiment and mathematical analysis, the research marks a scientific attempt to quantify the fuzzy notion of "social contagion" -- how individual behaviour is influenced by group dynamics, AFP reports citing an unusual investigation published Wednesday in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
Mathematician Richard Mann of Sweden's Uppsala University and colleagues video-taped groups of university students as they responded to a seven-minute Powerpoint presentation on a biological study.
Neither the students nor presenters knew the applause was being analysed.
Mann and his team broke the applause down into mathematical models -- and the results were revealing.
"People in the audience didn't make an independent choice about how good the talk was and then clap an appropriate number of times," Mann told AFP by email.
"Instead, they responded very predictably to the social pressure around them, which we believe they felt through the volume of clapping in the room."
As more people started clapping, each individual who hadn't started felt more pressure to join in, the statistics showed.
"Likewise, once people began to stop clapping there was increasing pressure for everyone to stop."
Mann said the results showed that group behaviour was reflected in patterns, and this knowledge had a range of uses.
"Just like we measure how influenza is spreading each year, we can also measure and predict how social unrest or new fashions might spread," Mann said.
"Consider, for example, a new fashion for unhealthy binge drinking. If we can measure and predict the spread of this behaviour, we can make preparations for policing and healthcare ahead of time."
The method could also help predict the rate at which social networks or online groups will go out of fashion.
"Humans, like animals, often respond very simply to available cues," Mann said. "Behaviour can spread through a group through the social pressure of others."

The Secret Beyond Matter
Azerbaycan Novoye Vremya Interview, October 6-2008
Adnan Oktar: The Balkans has always been the land of Ottomans, touching the bosom of Italia. Those places in the vicinity of Italia had always been the lands of Ottoman. In every place, there are traces of Ottoman, the beauty of Ottoman is seen. In the Turkish Islamic Union those places will be cities of peace, regions of peace. In politics of the Ottoman Empire, there is no imposing upon people's beliefs, races, religions, faiths. Everyone is provided with freedom. For example, the Armenians live as Armenians, free as they would like. Nobody can interfere it. The Turkish Islamic Union will only provide abundance, wealth and peace. To Bosnia, Albania, everywhere, the Turkish Islamic Union will bring peace and felicity. To Kirkuk, East Turkestan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhistan, and Tajikistan, to all of them. All of them belong to us all already. Turkish and Turkish Islamic Union is the proprietor of the region. This will become true insha'Allah.
Kıbrıs Postası Interview, September 23-2008
Adnan Oktar: The Turkish Islamic Union's one end reaches Cyprus, the other end reaches the bosom of China, Bosnia. One end in the Russia, Kazakhistan, Morocco, while the other reaches Tunusia and Kenya. It is a magnificent Turkish and Islam Union. This is also the salvation of the world, United States of America, Russia and China's salvation. This is a wonderful system that will bring peace and brotherhood to the world. The ones who will profit by it will be the non-muslims, the Armenians, the Rums and the Israelites. This means salvation of Israel, demolishing of Israel's barriers, relief of Israel, and freedom of Israel. And it means the removal of terror and violence.
Aksam, October 16-2009
Upon his visit to Bosnia, Ahmet Davutoğlu, Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, said;
"If anyone asks to which city has the Turkish culture reflected most? I would say; Sarajevo. Just as how Istanbul is our city, this also holds true for Sarajevo; it is the city of our mutual culture. Başçarşı and kapalıçarşı (the grand bazaar), Sultanahmet and Gazi Hüsrev bey mosque, are reflections of the same spirit. Istanbul and Sarajevo are spiritual brothers.

If you're a spicy food fan, take heart as combining certain piquant foods with broccoli may give the vegetable a much more powerful cancer-fighting kick.
In its raw form, broccoli has a substance called myrosinase inside it, which converts to sulforaphane when eaten. But if it's cooked for more than a four minute steam, it rapidly loses this compound, and many of the health benefits. The solution? Add something that it can take myrosinase from — like some rather delightful spicy foods. You can pair the broccoli with broccoli sprouts, mustard, horseradish, or wasabi, and the spicier the better. The two combined will create more sulforaphane than either could on their own.
If you're not a fan of culinary spice, you can also use radishes, cabbage, arugula, watercress, and Brussels sprouts.
An excuse to pile on more mustard or wasabi? I can live with that. Now if only it worked with sriracha too...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have successfully modified a common plant virus to deliver drugs only to specific cells inside the human body, without affecting surrounding tissue. These tiny "smart bombs" - each one thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair - could lead to more effective chemotherapy treatments with greatly reduced, or even eliminated, side effects.
Drs. Stefan Franzen, professor of chemistry, and Steven Lommel, professor of plant pathology and genetics, collaborated on the project, utilizing the special properties of a fairly common and non-toxic plant virus as a means to convey drugs to the target cells.
The researchers say that the virus is appealing in both its ability to survive outside of a plant host and its built-in "cargo space" of 17 nanometers, which can be used to carry chemotherapy drugs directly to tumor cells. The researchers deploy the virus by attaching small proteins, called signal peptides, to its exterior that cause the virus to "seek out" particular cells, such as cancer cells. Those same signal peptides serve as "passwords" that allow the virus to enter the cancer cell, where it releases its cargo.
"We had tried a number of different nanoparticles as cell-targeting vectors," Franzen says. "The plant virus is superior in terms of stability, ease of manufacture, ability to target cells and ability to carry therapeutic cargo."
Calcium is the key to keeping the virus' cargo enclosed. When the virus is in the bloodstream, calcium is also abundant. Inside individual cells, however, calcium levels are much lower, which allows the virus to open, delivering the cancer drugs only to the targeted cells.
"Another factor that makes the virus unique is the toughness of its shell," Lommel says. "When the virus is in a closed state, nothing will leak out of the interior, and when it does open, it opens slowly, which means that the virus has time to enter the cell nucleus before deploying its cargo, which increases the drug's efficacy."
The researchers believe that their method will alleviate the side effects of common chemotherapy treatments, while maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.

Much as they love 'The Walking Dead' and the brutal finish that capped off the first half of season 4, some have to admit a bit of disappointment with the most recent trailers for the AMC horror drama's 2014 return. Thankfully, the latest 4-minute preview for the back half of season 4 has loads of new footage, and insight from the cast and crew into what might be the darkest and deepest episodes yet!
Given how splintered all the survivors became by the Governor's final assault on the prison, season 4′s February 9 premiere "After" will see many different groups on their own, and we'll take a bit of time to catch up with each. The latest AMC preview for 'The Walking Dead's latest offers up plenty of new footage from surviving groups like Daryl and Beth, Tyreese and siblings Lizzie and Mieke, but perhaps most tellingly of all, Rick, Carl and Michonne.
It's moving the show into a much deeper, darker, and grown up territory, says series star Andrew Lincoln in the preview featurette. "We're jumping off the cliff in this back eight." In particular, Rick will respond to the loss of their prison home by becoming a sterner figure to Carl, who clearly carries a bit of resentment for his father's failure, and the loss of dear Hershel in midseason finale "Too Far Gone."
It remains to be seen when we'll catch up with the other survivors, though we at least know of a trio of new faces will cross paths with one of the divided groups. The Governor certainly won't be back, meaning the survivors will likely encounter some new dangers out on the open road, as well. We also saw the first photo of the latter eight episodes, featuring Carl ignoring the warning of the season 4B poster by looking back instead of at the walkers ahead!
Preview the latest from 'The Walking Dead' season 4 in the exciting new behind-the-scenes sneak peek.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are just about done. While no official announcement has been made, it's undeniable now that not only is a confirmation imminent but that they are never, ever getting back together. According to TMZ the two are even getting on quite well, for the sake of the children, and most of the terms of the divorce have already been settled, with Nick coming out of this looking really, really good.
Those infidelity rumours don't seem to have touched him. He's being sold as a caring father who only wants best for kids. And since he has his own money and career, there's no sense in fighting for her bank account and coming across greedy either.
Mimi, on the other hand, well…
It's almost as if people understand too much about why it would be so hard to stay married to her.
But you know Mimi. And Mimi writes her own storylines. It's now time for a new one. Who is Mimi now? When she and Nick first got together, she'd just been "emancipated". This time then Mimi's playing the part of…
The Single Mother.
She suffered so much carrying them around and getting them out of her. Now she has to raise them by herself! In a huge apartment with 18 helpers and millions of dollars!
Can you believe she's actually helping one of them walk out of a restaurant? Check that out. Mimi, who can barely hold herself upright, is assisting her son, Moroccan, as he's stepping out to the car after lunch in New York yesterday. Soon, hopefully, she'll start telling us about her difficulties and the tremendous amount of inner strength she's had to summon to face this new reality all by herself.

Someone please, keep an eye on these negotiations, and make sure the people of EPA don't get ripped off--again.

This is not the type of re-development we want---it does not build community for our community nor does it create income for our people. It is called gentrification where people are pushed out via high housing prices etc--we need to address this folks....

"De La Vega is set to retire in June..."; and no longer cares about the impact to the cummunity. can we fire him before he retires? let's take a look at his retirement package. That may need some adjustment as well.
Are you reading this Mr. De La Vega?

We need more affordable office space here on the mid-peninsula - great news.

You are right.
Let's re-dedicate Greer Park and use the land to build offices there. Then you could walk to work!
de la Vega is a She.

@Raymond - you have to admit it is kind of funny that you blast Maria De La Vega for not caring about the community, but you don't even know whether your own school superintendant is a man or a woman. How much attention do you really pay to your community?
@ML - it is not like they are closing schools or parks, or housing for offices, this is a vacant lot, and some small warehouses. If it brings in more business to EPA, it will be to EPA's benefit. Maybe it is gentrification, but it will help every EPA homeowner. It will help the EPA businesses that will get more customers, and there will be more jobs in the city.

I have no problem with space in EPA being improved upon. What I have a problem with is space being utilized to attract a new population of people to the detriment of existing residents. There must be a healthy balance. Ravenswood is a radically under-performing school district. How will the proceeds of this sale improve the education of youth in the community? There is a large segment of rental housing available in the West Park area of EPA. How is adding more rental property, especially high priced ones, going to improve housing options for the predominantly middle to lower-middle class community? There are many home-based businesses that could benefit from retail exposure-will they be afforded a reasonable chance to open up shop? This is not about keeping EPA hood or celebrating poverty it's about forcibly removing a deeply rooted community and extinguishing a culture that has fought to prevail in the midst of significant internal and external pressures. The example of the "New Homes" is a clear indication of what we can expect-the people there sought to criminalize being a young black or brown male, exclude the community and profit off of chaos they intentionally ignored. De la Vega is most certainly profiting in some form or fashion and must be made to face consequences for her traitorous misrepresentation of the community who put her in place to serve them.

The article mentions the name:MARIA De La Vega. Are men named Maria? Reminds me of the song, "A Boy Named Sue".
The post identifying Maria as a man indicates how com box people give opinions and cast shadows on issues without knowing, or caring, about all the facts. I will assume Maria is a woman.
a resident of East Palo Alto
on Apr 24, 2013 at 3:16 pm
This is totally off-topic, but yes, there are men named Maria, & it's then pronounced like Mario, but w/an a at the end instead of an o. Example: Rainer Maria Rilke.
Back on-topic: I don't know what to think of all of this. I think it's all cause for concern, given our history of being ripped off, but we also need revenue & an improved school district.
How does this happen as painlessly as possible w/out a big uptick in gentrification that drives people out? I'm for gentrification that only drives out the scumbags!

With all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about. Maria is always female.
But let's keep this discussion on the subject at hand, and leave language to the experts.

ML - then how do you explain that Rainer Maria Rilke is male? I've also met men w/the first name of Maria, and it's pronounced like Mario, but w/an a at the end instead of an o. My family in Europe knows several men named Maria, which is how I met them. While it's traditionally used as a middle name for men, there are exceptions:

And speaking of staying on-topic, why don't you correct the others who went off-topic, Mr/Ms Topic Police?

@Hmmm - May I add a speculation to your latest on/off topic police question - Is it possible that some assume that the on/off topic "classification" privilege accompanies, somehow, the commenter's zip code/residence? Far fetched speculation, of course.

on Apr 24, 2013 at 7:38 pm
Well, it could be VF! But since I grew up in PA & MP, I am not cowed! I also own a home in *gasp* Europe! Yes, Europe, which is also the continent from which the men I've met named Maria have hailed. What a coincidence.
So what are your thoughts on this latest development, excuse the pun?
a resident of another community
on Apr 24, 2013 at 8:39 pm
Sorry, Hmmm. I have very little "insight" as to this particular issue. I did not grow up in PA proximity, and am not familiar with prior sales mentioned above. It just seems to me that in many cases, keeping school land proved to be a wise long term decision. I wonder if there is a way to have the non profit (or others) use/rent/lease the area, the way many other schools were "outsourced", years ago, when enrollment declined.

@Musical - yes, Maria is part of the name, and it was a man who wrote the book. The book depicts many sounds, none is the "sound of music". Also - I am pretty sure that music was not heard when his books were burnt, unless those who brunt his (and other) books had music played while burring. Burning books was not the worse. Music was played in other sites, later.

East Palo Alto should learn a lesson from Palo Alto's past mistakes in selling off school property for a one-time profit. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

village fool - no biggie re the lack of insight. I'd have to know more about the deal to form an opinion. As it stands, what little I know has an upside & downside, as most things do. The other property dealings - at Bay Rd, ditto. It's weird, because it's industrial on the border of residential, which is where I have a concern. It's near the new, lovely Cooley Landing Park. I think we have to be balanced w/our development plans, keeping an eye on affordable living & revenue - it's a delicate balance. Both are important to residents & we've had some good, thoughtful development happen because we're being careful. The city gov't does hear from residents & lately have done pretty well to balance all factors. I hope that lasts!

Yes of course Ms. De La Vega is definatley a woman and really had no positive reason for being chosen for the position other than being latina,...under her watch Ravenswood school district has not evolved. In the meantime if any of you take the time to look at all the Developement enroute,...In East Palo Alto you would know whats being developed. Prior to 2014. I am not at liberty to tell you. But,..many of your comments typed one key word,...and its right on point. Now get involved with your community stewards (Council Members)and developers alike. besides its posted at all city halls on huge poster boards (as a diplay of future planning). More businesses more tax revenue for East Palo Alto,...advocate for what you don't like,... Jackie Spier is our Congresswoman,we have many county supervisors,..and only five council members, But you have 100% of advocay in your favor,..your tool "petitions for recalls" and votes ,no votes votes,and no votes.

@ MR. Fischer---I'd love to hear more--and understand some of the avenues you are talking about. Growth is not the problem--but how do we grow in ways that work for our community--and not to the exclusion of it.

I am personally troubled by this as I feel that education should be at the forefront of the EPA Community. I realize as well that East Palo Alto sits in a prime location for both commercial and real estate initiatives but the fact remains the same that with all the development, long time residents will be forced to either leave or struggle even more with trying to keep up with a higher society that obviously intends to make it's presence felt. Decisions like this should be made only if it will be of benefit to everyone and I really cannot see how that it possible without affecting most of the residents here. This is only my personal opinion. I respect all stances that were taken here in regards to this matter. Hopefully it will all work out for the very best.

March 1943. "Negro Marines prepare for action. Breaking a tradition of 167 years, the U.S. Marine Corps started enlisting Negroes on June 1, 1942. The first class of 1,200 Negro volunteers began their training three months later as members of the 51st Composite Defense Battalion at Montford Point, a section of the 200-square-mile Marine Base, Camp Lejeune, at New River, North Carolina. Evidence of the lack of racial friction may be seen in the sports program at the camp. On the baseball team Negro enlistees and white non-com officers are teammates. Camp Lejeune has its own baseball league, with the Montford Point team a strong contender for championship honors." Medium-format safety negative by Roger Smith for the Office of War Information.

The U.S. Open draws have been posted with Rafael Nadal and Ana Ivanovic the top singles seeds on the men and women's side respectively.
Nadal should sail through to the quarterfinals where one possible tricky match up could be Argentine David Nalbandian. Despite a disappointing year, Nalbandian has always been dangerous on a hardcourt. Another David, countryman Ferrer who eliminated Rafa in the round of 16 last year may be a nuisance, although Nadal is not the same player. Yet, perhaps, the most dangerous potential opponent is Argentine Juan Martin Del Potro who has been blazing the last few weeks. If Del Potro continues to ride this wave, Nadal could be in trouble in the semifinals. Great Britain's Andy Murray may have a lot to say in the matter, Del Potro and he could face off in the quarters.
Czech Radek Stepanek who beat him at the ATP Masters in Rome could test second seed and defending champion Roger Federer in the third round. Moreover, Serbian Jarko Tipsaravic who almost defeated Federer in Australia could be a potential quarterfinal challenge. But another Serbian 2007 finalist Novak Djokovic may be Federer's biggest obstacle as the two may end up clashing in the semifinals. Djokovic has been stumbling of late but his draw looks manageable particularly with a struggling Andy Roddick as a possible opponent in the quarterfinals.
For Ivanovic, the task appears doable until the quarterfinals where she could meet Russian Dinara Safina who's surely out for revenge after the French Open. Ivanovic's thumb injury may be factor in the tournament. No possible Williams sisters finals, these two are on the same side of the draw and could clash in the quarterfinals. Moreover, both have intricate first round matches. Standing in the way of Serbian Jelena Jankovic could be China's Jie Zheng in the third round or Russian Vera Zvonareva in the quarterfinals. The Russians are blessed with many contenders for the trophy. The road to the semifinals for Elena Dementieva and Svetlana Kuznetsova may mean motoring through one another. So it may not be a question of which country but which Russian will hoist the trophy, in my opinion, Safina has to be the favorite.

Munich-based brand management and media company m4e AG is adding Sailor Moon to its portfolio after the property's more than five-year television break in the region. On behalf of Japanese rights holder Toei Animation Co. Ltd., m4e AG will exploit an extensive package of rights (free and pay TV, home entertainment, licensing and merchandising) in German-speaking territories.
Based on the manga series by Naoko Takeuchi, Sailor Moon was first produced by Toei Animation (One Piece, Dragonball Z, Digimon) in 1992 and was broadcast for five seasons with a total of 200 episodes. Supported by a completely new style guide, the European re-launch of the brand started last fall in Italy, and first products from a toy line were available in Italian stores for the holiday season. A second similar phase is planned for the Iberian, Scandinavian, and German markets.
Enjoy the Sailor Moon English opening above.

In the ten years since the World Climate Conference-3 (WCC-3) and the development of the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), climate services have been recognized as critical to society for making decisions on how to cope with climate variability and change. Implementation of the GFCS uncovered large gaps in climate service competency across all WMO Regions, particularly in less developed countries.

High impact hydrometeorological events do not recognize national boundaries. Flash floods, floods, landslides and drought, in particular, give rise to multiple casualties and significant damage to livelihoods and property. In order to significantly reduce losses, communities and individuals need to become more resilient through actions that integrate weather and climate information in decision-making processes.

The climate science community can play an important role in addressing public health challenges. Many human diseases and health conditions are sensitive to changes in temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and other environmental conditions such as air and water quality. Climate information can thus be used as a sign of risk and to inform disease monitoring and health research. In some cases, it can be used to predict when and where disease outbreaks may occur, in relation to expected climate conditions.
