First published on Uwire in Summer 1998.
Republished here with minor editorial adjustments, but nothing that affects content.
Just when you thought sequels couldn't go any further, they did. The fourth installment in the Lethal Weapon series opens with a bang of an action sequence in which detectives Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover) gun down a man wearing an armored suit and carrying a flame-thrower.
The rest of the film follows with many more spectacular action sequences including a freeway car chase which outdoes nearly any car chase I've seen. Many of the sequences and the beautifully choreographed fight scenes are made possible by Jet Li, an Asian martial arts star making his American film debut. Li provides Riggs with the most difficult enemy of the series.

Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe plans to vote to reject a settlement offer in a lawsuit over the biomass plant, describing the legal challenge as "frivolously aggressive."
Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe plans to vote to reject a settlement offer in a lawsuit over the biomass plant, describing the legal challenge as "frivolously aggressive."
Lowe announced his intention Wednesday morning via email to several senior city officials and the six other members of the City Commission.
The City Commission is scheduled to vote Thursday evening on whether to accept the proposed settlement to end the lawsuit that anti-biomass group Gainesville Citizens CARE filed alleging that the city's negotiations on the contract to purchase electricity from the power station violated the Sunshine Law and the contract should therefore be declared null and void.
The suit argues that when the City Commission put contract talks under the authority of Gainesville Regional Utilities General Manager Bob Hunzinger, who then assembled a GRU staff negotiating team, the staff group became an advisory board and its meetings should have been noticed and open to the public.
While disputing those allegations, attorneys for GRU and the Gainesville Renewable Energy Center, the firm behind the biomass plant, negotiated a proposed settlement.
Under it, Gainesville Citizens CARE would drop the suit in exchange for a televised, public City Commission meeting dedicated to the biomass plant and contract. At that meeting, Gainesville Citizens Care would have a minimum of four hours to make a presentation.
"The proposed settlement agreement would create a meeting that is not genuinely needed and is therefore a farce," Lowe wrote in his email. "And the City Commission ceding control of how we schedule and conduct meetings would only compound the mockery of our process that would occur. Furthermore, the proposed agreement calls for at least one commitment that the city commission is not empowered to make: that all members be required to be present for such a circus sideshow of a meeting."
The city, he argued, has a "strong case" and should seek another settlement via mediation or continue to fight the lawsuit.
Marcy LaHart, the attorney representing Gainesville Citizens CARE, said the meeting called for in the settlement would provide the first full public discussion on the "drastic changes" between the biomass plant proposal initially accepted by the commission in 2008 and the final, post-negotiation contract the commission approved in 2009. One difference was the extension of the contract term from 20 to 30 years.
"We have agreed to disagree, and rather than waste a lot of taxpayer money going to trial, the parties reached what I think is a fair solution that benefits everyone," LaHart wrote in an email. "My clients and any other members of the public will finally have a chance to be fully heard and have their questions about the biomass plant answered, the city gets to avoid the expense of going to trial and the possibility that the power purchase agreement will be declared void."
Lowe's initial email was sent to all members of the Commission, along with staff members such as the city attorney, Hunzinger and the City Clerk, and did indicate how he intended to vote on an upcoming issue.
Barbara Peterson, with the First Amendment Foundation, said the Florida Attorney General has said such a communication complies with the Sunshine Law as "long as the commissioner doesn't solicit a response."
In a 2001 legal advisory opinion requested by the city of Port Orange, the Florida Attorney General's Office said it "would strongly discourage" elected officials from circulating individual position statements to other board or commission members. But, the opinion continued, "it would appear" such an action complies with the Sunshine Law "as long as council members avoid any discussion or debate among themselves on these statements."
Other city commissioners have not sent out similar position statements on the proposed settlement.
Reached for comment Wednesday, Commissioner Yvonne Hinson-Rawls said she agreed with much of what Lowe said.
"If they want to conduct a City Commission meeting, they need to run for City Commission," she said.
Biomass plant sale:
Another biomass-related issue is on the afternoon agenda. GRU will seek permission from the City Commission to file a claim for arbitration against the Gainesville Renewable Energy Center, arguing that the sale of a 40 percent stake in the plant in late 2011 violated contract terms because the city was not given its contractual right of first refusal to purchase a controlling stake in the plant.
At arbitration, the city would seek to compel GREC to follow those contractual obligations. GRU will also seek permission to allow GRU General Manager Bob Hunzinger to negotiate an alternate resolution to the dispute, one that would require future final approval from the City Commission.

|Re: Request/Response Model Not Working in Network of Brokers. Please Help
|Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:41:54 GMT
from your network connectors config, remove: <networkConnector name="topicsOnly" networkTTL="6" uri="static:(tcp://10.0.0.178:61616,tcp://10.0.0.179:61616)" conduitSubscriptions="true"> b/c this is bridging all destinations as there are no excludes, so you have two paths to each broker which will complicate it a bit. On the ttl, this should be the minimum number of hops you require, I don't see why you want 6 in there. 3 or 2 should be sufficient. What is your intention with three brokers? If the intention is to build a mesh topology, then all brokers can talk directly to each other and a ttl of 1 is sufficient. If you are building a ring, then a message can have multiple routes, but ttl=2 is sufficient. If your local consumer and network consumers are competing, then use decreaseNetworkConsumerPriority=true in the network connector so that local consumers get priority. It looks like you need to go back to first principals and understand what is being configured and the intent of every option that you choose. Maybe have a read of http://blog.garytully.com/2012/07/activemq-broker-networks-think-demand.html to get a better understanding of the principals. hope this helps.

Felder *66 Receives Inaugural ASEE Lifetime Achievement Award in Engineering Education
Richard M. Felder *66, Hoechst Celanese Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University, received the first Lifetime Achievement Award in Engineering Education from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) last week at ASEE's 2012 Annual Conference in San Antonio, TX. The award recognizes "sustained contributions to education in the fields of engineering and/or engineering technology throughout [the awardee's] career". Felder's many contributions include a diversity of teaching resources, and coauthoring Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes (now in its Third Edition), which has been use by over three-quarters of U.S. chemical engineering departments for their introductory course, and is currently used at Princeton as the text for CBE 245. Felder was also recognized in 2010 by the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) with their Global Award for Excellence in Engineering Education. For additional information on Felder and this recent ASEE award, see the NC State press release.

Heat the barbecue until the coals are white hot. Place each potato on a double layer of foil. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, rub over a little olive oil, season and wrap each one securely in the foil. Nestle the potatoes directly into the coals and cook for 20-30 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes), turning halfway, until cooked through. Cut open each potato, spoon over a little cream cheese and scatter with a few capers and coriander leaves.

Major League Baseball is expected to take a huge leap today toward safeguarding the integrity of the game — as the New York Yankees, and their fans, begin to contemplate life without Alex Rodriguez.
MLB Commissioner Bud Selig appears set to announce suspensions of about a dozen players for their use of performing-enhancing drugs. Most will receive 50-game bans, but the biggest hammer will come down on Rodriguez — who is likely to be barred the remainder of this season and all of 2014.
That would keep him off the field for more than 210 games, the longest stretch in the steroid era. And it might mean a sad final ending to a sensational career for Rodriguez, who'd be 40 when the ban ends.
Selig has no choice. MLB reportedly has evidence that, besides using PEDs, A-Rod helped other players get them and conspired to block the league's probe of the matter. And use of PEDs has cast a cloud over baseball for years. Fans wonder if the top players cheated to get ahead. Major records are questioned. Players who don't resort to PEDs face an unfair advantage.
All of which erodes confidence in the fairness of the game, undermining its public appeal. Even the players union now sees this.
Sure, the Yankees will miss the 647-home-run hitter's bat. But a ban will likely save them money from his sky-high salary. That can now be put to use elsewhere for 2014.
As for Alex Rodriguez, shed no tears. In 2009, he admitted that he had used steroids while with the Texas Rangers, between 2001 and 2003. Now, it seems, he continued to cheat over the past few years as well. His actions have hurt his team, his fans and the game. He deserves what he gets.
Then again, these days, cheating and misbehavior seem to be a prerequisite for electoral politics.
Who knows? Maybe he'll run for office.

I love the classic military look--it's never dated and it always looks stylish. If you buy the right piece, a truly classic, well-made piece, you'll still be able to wear it several years later (this is my opinion at least). Here are some of my favorite versions this Fall:

Are Ohio's Public Pension Systems Being Drained by Hedge Funds?
Lost in the fray of what is probably the craziest election year ever, is a recent report about the health of Ohio's public pension systems — one that should probably cause any Ohioan paying into those systems a bit of concern.
As outlined in an article by John Damschroder, a former member of Gov. George Voinovich's administration no less, Ohio's public pension systems are currently "sinking in the quicksand of terrible investment returns and ultra high expenses."
According to Damschroder, "Ohio relies on secretive alternative investments more than any state in America" and because of this, the state's five public pensions ended up paying "outside fund managers a staggering $734.8 million" in 2015 alone, with the state's largest pension fund, Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS), shelling out "$428.2 million in external management fees for investment results that fell 99.8 percent from 2014."
As further analyzed in a recent episode of the Keiser Report on Russia Today, this means the state's pension funds basically paid almost a billion dollars in just one year to hedge fund managers who have no idea what they're doing. The state could've been better off putting that money into low-cost index funds themselves, or for that matter, just shoving it into mattresses or burying it in the backyard.
But in all seriousness, $734.8 million is an enormous amount of money for Ohio's 1.8 million active and former public employees to spend on what is clearly a very terrible result. In fact, if every public employee knew just how bad their money was being mismanaged, they'd probably find themselves reenacting a certain scene from the recent film The Big Short, barging into OPERS' offices and screaming, "Give me my f—ing money back, you motherf—er!" So what gives?
For anyone who needs a reminder of the historical context, OPERS first really started "hedging on hedge funds" in 2011, the first year after Ohio's darling Republicans swept our statewide offices. At the time, OPERS had decided to invest 3 percent of its assets into hedge funds as part of an overall plan to revamp the OPERS portfolio, which sought to make up some $6 billion of it's previously $84 billion worth — money lost due to the financial crash of 2008.
Before that, OPERS had trusted in-house advisors to manage roughly 65 percent of its assets, but after the reforms of 2011, the system began hiring external managers to "help boost returns" and create "a more modern portfolio," according to OPERS' then deputy director of investments, Rick Shafer. Shafer felt that OPERS could "learn" from the external managers and said the allocation to hedge funds would probably "continue to grow over time."
Naturally, Shafer proved to be completely right (LOL) and was promoted to OPERS' Chief Investment Officer last year for doing a helluva job, while this "hedge fund hedging" spread to the state's other pension systems as well.
Added to this vitriolic financial stew were the Republicans' continued "sweeping" reforms in 2012, when Gov. John Kasich signed into law multiple bills that further restructured the state's five pension systems, this time with bipartisan support.
According to The Columbus Dispatch, the changes were projected to "cost workers billions but allow them to maintain defined-benefit plans," and would do so by increasing employee contributions, computing new final average salaries, requiring longer service and reducing cost-of-living adjustments.
Yes, once again those who were supposed to benefit from the pension systems in the first place had to foot the bill to keep them solvent, but as Damschroder points out in his recent article, even these reforms haven't really worked since.
Despite the fact that public employees are currently required to pay a minimum of 24 percent of their wages into the pension systems, census data shows "Ohio's unfunded pension obligation grew from $35 billion in 2014 to $134.5 billion in 2015," meaning the pensions' solvency problems have gotten way worse, not better.
Furthermore, "Ohio state government is 100 percent responsible for the payment rates and investment results," which according to Damschroder, means "Ohio's claimed portion of the unfunded liability is more than $26 billion." Isn't that neat? And to think that when those reforms were passed in 2012, it was because a pension system like OPERS was worried about losing $1 million a day — only to eventually piss away $428.2 million in one year on external management fees alone! Oh, if only there were less than 428 days in a year….
If Damschroder's claims are to be believed, it's probably time for Ohio's public employees to force the nice folks managing their money to face the music. If you're paying into OPERS or one of Ohio's other four public pension systems, you may want to pay a visit to their offices and ask Mr. Shafer and his cohorts how their little hedge fund experiment has been going. And if you go, we recommend watching a certain scene from The Big Short for some inspiration.
What about my retirement system- STRS? Have they been investing into hedge funds at a similar level as OPERS?
Isn't Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel in charge of overseeing Ohio public pension systems?
STRS has a 3% overall allocation to hedge funds.
This article repeats many factual errors in the Damschroder piece without any semblance of fact checking.
For instance, Damschroder claims and Plunderbund repeats that "Ohio's unfunded pension obligation grew from $35 billion in 2014 to $134.5 billion in 2015." Actually, OPERs unfunded liability *decreased* from 2014 to 2015. STRS's unfunded liability increased by about 3% during the same period due to an uptick in teacher retirements. It is unclear how Damschroder arrived at his 238% increase in the same period. That Plunderbund uncritically repeated this factual error is an exercise in stenography not opinion journalism.
Management fees for all investments are something pension funds are obligated by their fiduciary duties to minimize. Certainly if there is a lower cost investment that provides the same diversification function as hedge funds, then the pensions should investigate them. But management fees are in no way jeopardizing Ohio's pension systems and to repeat claims that they are is irresponsible.
And, really, citing a video from rt.com, which is an arm of Putin's government? Don't be useful idiots.

Tyson Gay Breaks 200-Meter Record Headline FAIL (w/Video)
For 44-years, Tommie Smith's 200-meter record time withstood the test of timed track. His 19.5 hand-timed record has survived some mighty big names over the years, but it couldn't hold off American sprint star, Tyson Gay.
Gay lowered Smith's record time by 0.09 seconds on the straight track created at the Manchester Great City Games. I know what you're thinking, the 200 meters is a straight sprint and his name is Gay. Get it? Isn't that funny? Well, don't worry, the Associated Press already beat you to playing off of that in their headline.
Tyson Gay has a long, upward track to run before he can catch and usurp Usain Bolt as the world's fastest man. This is mainly due to the fact Gay has trouble staying healthy, including a hamstring injury that prevented him from earning a single medal in the Beijing Olympics. However, if he keeps shattering world records like this, it might not be as long as we think before they can be legitimately placed in the same sentence. Below is a video of him breaking Tommie Smith's record. For the record, Smith was in attendance and gave a hearty congratulations to Gay after the race.

A Mexican couple was caught entering Texas with $531,000 in cash hidden in their cars at the Texas border by the border sheriff's deputies.
According to court records obtained by Breitbart Texas, Webb County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Alma Marrufo and her common law husband Sergio Villarreal who both were driving matching Ford Focus on their way to an international bridge in Laredo.
The deputies had pulled them over for a traffic violation but while doing a search of the vehicles noticed that both cars had had the door panels tampered with. After taking the vehicle to the international bridge, officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) ran the cars through an X-ray scanning device that showed bundles in the doors of both vehicles. Inside the four bundles, authorities seized $531,000 in bulk cash which had been tightly wrapped.
Agents with homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) tried to interview Marrufo who immediately asked for an attorney; however Villarreal began talking with the agents telling them that the couple was driving from Houston to Monterrey. During the interview Villarreal said that his wife was responsible and he did not know anything about the contraband.

The fight over 'amnesty'
A century ago, residents of the Carolinas were in an uproar over immigration.
The arrival of thousands of newcomers from eastern and southern Europe triggered a hostile reception and severe accusations. They said immigrants spread diseases, refused to learn English and generally compromised the region's cultural identity. Some locals pressed the government to forcibly expel the new arrivals. The requests were rebuffed.
And while much has changed, experts see parallels in some of the tough talk emanating from South Carolina as residents prepare to vote in primaries. Most of the Republican presidential contenders are trying to tap into concerns about the economy and America's place in the world by attacking Sen. John McCain for supporting what they call "amnesty" for millions of undocumented workers.
McCain is an obvious target. In 2006, he teamed with liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy to propose a Senate plan backed by the White House that would have granted legal status to most of the estimated 12-million illegal immigrants in the country, as well as toughen border security and require employers to verify the legal status of workers. Last year, he co-sponsored a Senate bill that proposed allowing states to give illegal immigrants in-state tuition for higher education. The 2006 bill was incorporated into another measure that passed the Senate but then stalled. The 2007 proposal did not advance out of the chamber.
"It's the first hot-button issue people talk about," said Elaine C. Lacy, a historian at the University of South Carolina-Aiken who has studied immigration patterns in the state. "Amnesty represents a way of getting out from under the law, of being unaccountable. Many people think not holding people accountable just means more and more people will come here."
Aware that his resurgent campaign could get centered on the issue, McCain is fighting back, saying his plan is anything but amnesty. Typical was an exchange during a Jan. 5, 2008, Republican debate in New Hampshire, during which he accused Mitt Romney of mischaracterizing the plan in a series of ads.
"The fact is it's not amnesty," McCain said. "And for you to describe it as you do in the attack ads, my friend, you can spend your whole fortune on these attack ads, but it still won't be true."
Now, understand that the word amnesty is freighted with implications that go beyond immigration policy. Many voters interpret it as giving criminals the equivalent of a "Get Out of Jail" card instead of diligently enforcing the law. Throughout the immigration debate in Congress in recent years, opponents have routinely labeled as "amnesty" any provision that would give illegal immigrants a path to legal status.
Experts say its use here is designed to raise questions about whether McCain is willing to let rules slide and give lawbreakers access to social services and, more broadly, the American dream.
"Amnesty means, 'He's not for America in the same way I am' … They're trying to reach the people who believe in America for Americans. It's almost a code word for something else: fear and uncertainty about the economy, the war, where America is in the world," said Audrey Singer, an immigration expert and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
The immigration overhaul plan McCain and Kennedy introduced in 2006 would have required illegal immigrants to apply for a six-year conditional nonimmigrant visa. They then could apply for legal permanent residence — a green card — on the condition that they pay $1,000 in fines, pay all back taxes, pass a criminal background check, stay employed and demonstrate an effort to learn English and civics. They would also pay a $1,000 application fee. Because a green card holder must wait five years to apply for citizenship, this plan would make illegal workers eligible for citizenship 11 years after applying for the visa.
Arlen Specter, senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and some other plan supporters have characterized the steps as "gates" that must be passed through before an illegal immigrant can qualify for citizenship, thus not a general pardon.
"I've never supported amnesty," McCain said during the Jan. 5 debate. He also quoted Connecticut Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman, a McCain supporter, who said anyone describing McCain's position that way "is a liar, is lying."
PolitiFact finds that the many hurdles included in his plan do not qualify as a general pardon, so his claim that his plan is not "amnesty" is True.
Singer predicts the amnesty rhetoric will be repeated in other states, because concern over illegal immigration has expanded over the past decade to virtually every corner of the country.
"It's clear that most people are in favor of legal immigrants becoming part of the economy, but there is a visceral divide between legal and illegal. People are upset and want to know why we aren't enforcing our laws," Singer said.

the other day i was cleaning our bedroom and i found a zipped-shut bag in the corner. it has been there for a year, collecting dust and patiently waiting for me to open it. i pulled it out of the shadows – the bag i carried through both hospital stays and nearly five months in partial hospitalization.
i had the feeling i was about to open a time capsule.
i sat down on the floor, unzipped the bag and pulled out a big stack of folders and envelopes. i leafed through discharge papers, doctors orders and prescriptions. it was painful to look at a date – march 28, may 5, july 1 – and remember how badly i felt, how bleak and hopeless my world was, just over twelve months ago.
i came to a series of worksheets that i completed in the partial program – all about cognitive behavioral therapy and feelings and thoughts and actions. it struck me how much i have learned over the course of being so sick with depression and anxiety. when i was filling those sheets out i was just starting my recovery journey and i didn't even know it. all i knew was a fear so big and a depression so deep i didn't think i could ever break free. i didn't have a vocabulary to describe my symptoms or a coping strategy that worked. all i felt was pain that i truly thought would never end.
as i read through all of those papers, reflecting on then and now, one really touched me. i completed it while in partial hospitalization in june 2014. it was called "envisioning positivity." i had to choose one specific form of positivity and describe what it would be like to experience that feeling. i chose hope.
i wrote that hope is something i would experience by being "comfortable at home." if i felt hope i would be able to do my everyday activities without fear. i would be able to help others and find meaningful work. my hope would be shared with my family, my friends, new people and the community. i would have the energy to try new things, read new books and listen to music i like. the last question asked what my "secret ingredient" for experiencing hope would be. i wrote, "belief in my future. belief that things will get better."
as i read the hope worksheet, a cool autumn breeze blew in through my window. my dog was snoring, curled up on the rug in a patch of sunlight. the sweet, sharp aroma from a lavendar candle wafted through the air. a pile of neatly folded laundry sat on my bed, waiting to be put away. my husband was downstairs working, wrapping things up so that we could eat the dinner i had prepared earlier.
and i felt it in my bones. i was comfortable at home. i was doing everyday activities. i was spending time with my family. i was with energy. i was without fear.
things have gotten better.
and now i have found hope.

I've been so busy making lately that I haven't had time to post. It is great news that everyone is thinking of the hedgehogs and buying ethical this Christmas!
I love nature and it inspires everything I do so I thought I'd show you how I translate nature into my jewellery.
I make my jewellery using silver clay. I trained in traditional silver-smithing but I love the versatility of silver clay and the way I can literally take nature and emboss it into my designs. I hunt for flowers, leaves, twigs, seeds, shells and anything with a beautiful pattern that I can use to emboss into the clay. I've always got a little bag with me for foraging trips in the woods, meadows and seashore.
With this pendant and earring set, I have embossed a design from nature and then inset gorgeous sparkling Peridot stones. I love the freshness of the green.
I'm a keen gardener and I often look to my own garden for my nature inspiration. I particularly love the delicate blue forget-me-nots that flower in the Spring and have incorporated them into many designs.
Forget me not pendant inspired by the flowers in my garden
As well as embossing direct from nature, I also create designs based on what I see in the garden. Here is my bumble bee pendant.
My next plan is to try embossing with the delicate leaves of herbs in the garden and I'd love to try moulding from an acorn……
Thank you so much for reading. I'd love to know what you think of my work and its nature inspiration.

The Minnesota Department of Health strongly recommends that ALL homebuyers have an indoor radon test performed prior to purchase or taking occupancy and recommends having the radon levels mitigated if elevated radon concentrations are found. Elevated radon concentrations can easily be reduced by a qualified, certified, or licensed, if applicable, radon mitigator. Every buyer of an interest in residential real property is notified that the property may present exposure to dangerous levels of indoor radon gas that may place the occupants at risk of developing radon-induced lung cancer. Radon, a Class A human carcinogen, is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers and the second leading cause overall. The seller of any interest in residential property is required to provide the buyer with any information on radon test results of the dwelling.

All the big businesses fight regulation tooth and nail but the pharmaceutical companies are a great example why it's needed. They price gouge for no other reason than pure unadulterated greed, while giving themselves huge bonuses and raises. They have no conscience or empathy for the people who need their product for survival.
The government needs to set price controls for some or most drugs otherwise the corporations will take control and increase the prices ridiculously and the poor people of America will be unable to pay for their life-saving drugs that they need to live. The government overall should have ultimate control of this.
Yes, the government should set price controls on many drugs. If there are no price controls in place, pharmaceutical companies can increase costs overnight, negatively impacting the lives of those who depend on medications to survive. The government should uphold everyone's right to live, and one way to do so is by closely monitoring the price of life-saving drugs.
Legislating price controls on selected drugs in a free-market society is not the job of the U.S. government. It is a danger to capitalism, the corner stone of our country's wealth. Citizens should boycott high prices; other manufacturers should offer generic substitutes; but, the government needs to stay out of it. There are lots of people who cannot afford certain treatments, and that is a fact. It has always been a fact, even for cheap medicines. If they can't afford it, they can't buy it regardless of the price. Our government is becoming too big and too intrusive and needs to stay out of private enterprise.

A Special Bra Fit
The Empreinte lingerie company got its start creating girdles for the women of Europe. They have continued to redefine themselves and refine their lingerie offerings, remaining a frontrunner in the lingerie world. Empreinte is known for their beautiful, high fashion, full figured plus size bras. In an Empreinte bra, women find a perfect fit and unmatched quality.
Empreinte specializes in large cup sizes and understand women's many unique body shapes, needs and concerns. With each new collection, Empreinte creates a variety of full figure styles and shapes to accommodate all types of large busted women. Each piece of an Empreinte bra is custom designed, engineered and tested to deliver the highest quality product. Here is a fascinating breakdown of each part of an Empreinte bra.
Cups: Empreinte designs its bra cups with fabrics that have no elastine thread: primarily tulle, lace or special microfiber. These fabric choices retain their shape, even with repeat and continued wear. The fabrics' non-stretch qualities keep women's breasts supported and in place. An added benefit is the beauty of these fabric selections. Tulle and lace construction is very sexy, often appearing sheer and decorative.
Underwire: Empreinte uses a full, closed underwire in the underside of the bra cups. Many lingerie companies use thin underwires and do insert a full circle underwire. Empreinte uses thick underwires which keeps the wire from twisting. Empreinte underwires lay flat and secure, conforming to the natural curvature of a woman's body. A full underwire accentuates the shape of the breasts, keeping them separated and centered. A full undewire creates a beautiful, allover slimming effect.
Back band: Empreinte extensively researches fabric types to properly design their lingerie. Their current back band fabric choice has fantastic fitting qualities. The industry standard for back band elasticity is 140% stretch, while Empreinte's back band elasticity is only 100%. This ensures that the back band reverts to its original shape and does not over stretch after extensive wear. Empreinte back bands pull from the front to back to properly lift and support the weight of the breasts.
Straps: Different from many lingerie brands, Empreinte bra shoulder straps have very limited elasticity. Empreinte shoulder straps only stretch to 30%- the standard strap elasticity is 50%. The bra straps attach centrally to the back band and create a perfect balance of the breasts on the body. Empreinte calls this unique construction a "Chimney Strap". Empreinte increases a bra's strap width in relation to its cup size- this ensures the straps do not dig into a woman's shoulders, regardless of their bra size. Empreinte's elasticity details guarantee a longer life for their high quality bras. The less stretch in a bra's composition, the longer the bra will stay intact and true to size.

There are several forum threads that talk about that very idea. Some of them are direct conversions to other settings. Other discussions are along the lines of recreating the system for more generic uses.
This blog post is about one of those projects that has come along so well that it's in its Beta phase.
Sky Wars: Edge of the Kingdom roleplaying game.
Here is the description and links from their site:
Explore Osfilia, a loose collection of realms still working to recover more than thirty years after the devastation caused by the Sky Wars.

PDF of the book
PDF of the character sheet
Sky Wars: Edge of the Kingdom is created by a company called Redshirt Down. The main guys behind this project are Rob Walker, Adam Bourret, and Matt Van Engelen. They were able to gain the support of several artists who contributed top notch work to this project and it is the art that makes all of this hard work feel so amazing and almost official.

Quick Reference
(1713–1781), English naturalist and microscopist. Needham's observations on the generation of microscopic organisms were crucial to eighteenth-century discussions of nature. Born in London into a recusant family, he attended the English school of Douai; he was ordained a secular priest in Cambrai in 1738. He became professor of philosophy at the English school in Lisbon, where he made his first observations with a microscope. He was welcomed in Paris by the naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon, with whom he collaborated on microscopic experiments. Elected a fellow of the Royal Society (1747) and of the Society of Antiquaries of London (1761), he also became Buffon's correspondent for the Académie Royale des Sciences (1768). In 1768 he settled in Brussels, where, as the first director of the Royal Academy of Belgium (1773), he fostered careful laboratory science.

The Huron Indian tribe wore clothing consisting of deerskin tops, loincloths, skirts, leggings and moccasin shoes. They were known to wear colorful attire, and they wore fur in the winter to stay warm.Continue Reading
The Huron tribe commonly painted different colorful designs on their clothing and would fringe parts of their leggings, skirts and shirts. Some of their earliest forms of clothing were created from birch bark. To add extra flair, the Huron Indians added strips of fur made from deerskin or beaver to their attire. These strips were normally dyed red.
Men wore breechclouts, leggings, shirts, long cloaks, and shoulder- to waist-length mantles. Women wore dresses, cloaks and wraparound skirts. Aside from clothing, they would decorate their skin, focusing mainly on the face. To make the paint, they used vegetable and mineral dyes combined with bear fat or sunflower oil. Common colors they made were red, green, violet and black.
Fur was a normal part of the Huron Indians' clothing choices as well. The Huron Indians were famous for their involvement in the fur trade, trading with Samuel de Champlain, founder of New France, for European goods. Their ties with the European trade influenced their clothing choices, and the Huron tribe eventually began to adapt a European style of dress.Learn more about US History

The Chanel Petite Shopping Tote is another timeless classic that is in season year after year in stores. The PST models feature the flat caviar calfskin strap instead of a full chain on the straps (for comfort and lightness).
Probably one of the more versatile and practical Chanels and the smaller sister to the PST, the bag features one large center compartment and two side zipper pockets. There is also a small caviar tab flap that snaps up top to secure interior contents.
This item is in good condition with some signs of normal use. There are some very faint pink spots on the lower part of the back of the bag if you look closely. Corners show rubbing but not scuffs/tears and not visible at arm's length. Interior is clean. Gold hardware is a deep, yellow gold hardware and shiny. Please see photos for details.

- Windows XP SP2 to Ship in Early August, Microsoft Says
==== In the News ====

Windows XP SP2 to Ship in Early August, Microsoft Says
A Microsoft representative told me this morning that the company will release Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) to manufacturing in early August, a date that contradicts various Web stories that are pegging the oft-delayed release as occurring in 2 weeks. Will Poole, senior vice president of the Windows Client Business at Microsoft, will announce the release schedule and other XP SP2 details during his keynote address today at Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2004 in Toronto.
According to the Microsoft representative that contacted me, SP2 is nearing completion and will be rolled out publicly when the most recent version of Windows Update is completed. "Microsoft is on track to release SP2 to manufacturing in August," the Microsoft representative said. "With that release to manufacturing (RTM), Microsoft will begin deployment of SP2, starting with the availability of Windows Update version 5. In distributing SP2, Microsoft's goal is to optimize the customer experience, delivering SP2 quickly and conveniently \[through Windows Update version 5's\] new smart downloading technologies for both narrowband and broadband customers."
Microsoft will also undertake a customer-education initiative in which the company will try to communicate the importance of enabling XP SP2's Automatic Updates feature, which lets the PC automatically download (and, optionally, install) critical security updates. Enabling Automatic Updates will "allow Microsoft to quickly respond to a changing security environment and give customers an opportunity to easily and effectively keep their PCs up to date," I was told.
Additionally, Microsoft this week is unveiling its new Windows Marketplace Web portal, a shopping and download site designed to help customers find and purchase third-party software, hardware and peripherals that work with XP and other Windows versions. Currently available only to US customers, Windows Marketplace will expand to international markets by third quarter 2004, Microsoft says. The company is using its partner conference this week to highlight the opportunities of Windows Marketplace.
Poole will also announce licensing changes for XP Media Center Edition (XP MCE); these changes will go into effect in time for this year's holiday season. Though details are scarce at the moment, I'm told that products made especially for XP MCE will be able to participate in the "Designed for Windows XP" logo program. I'll have more information about this development as details become available.

BBQ Smoking in Texas – What's Different?
May 27, 2015
Texas is popular acclaimed for the best barbecues in the US, and not wrongly so. There is a hint of uniqueness about the BBQ smoking in Texas that gives it a touch of Texas. The way it smells, the way it appears, and most of all – the way it tastes – all of it has roots of Texas hidden in the very depths of it. Recipes have gone from generation to generation like traditions, and are considered equally sacred.
This difference does not simply come through from the ingredients added to the BBQ at the time of smoking – no. A huge difference is also made by the way the smokers are set up and the technique of smoking. Texas believes in barbecuing 'low and slow' style so that large cuts are cooked without any portion being left undercooked or overcooked.
All the flavors and smells that the smoked meats produce are articulated after certain additions of ingredients. Chefs take care of cooking at certain temperatures and the appearances of the meats to determine how well it's been cooked. It cannot remain tender. Sauces are made to perfection. No wonder many distinct restaurants all around Texas are so famous for their succulent, finger licking smoked meats.
To best cook products, it's important to know the cuts of meats that can be cooked, and that will determine the number of servings you can get from them, their costs and versatility. Not only that, the Texas chefs know their meats in an out. They know what sides are tender, which cuts can be over cooked and have to be sought after.
Briskets are the most special and asked-for smoked dish that customers demand. The best BBQ restaurants of Texas serve briskets that are heavenly. A Texas brisket is a full packer cut brisket ranging between 8-12 pounds. It is smoked at low and slow temperatures through indirect heating for around 8 hours for it to achieve perfection. The textural appeal of a Texas brisket is like leather. Setting up a charcoal or wood smoker between 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit is important to distinguish a Texas brisket from any other.
Another necessary and impactful factor to a Texas BBQ is it's flavor. The flavor of any smoked meat comes from seasonings, cooking methods, the way it's the best electric smoker post on THOB, garnishing, sauces. Texas is very personal and cautious about it's flavors for that is what gets any consumer satisfied and happy. The sauces and ingredients used are a personal choice of the chefs of Texas.
Rubs are prepared by adding a tinge of special ingredients which one would not find elsewhere. For example, for a simple pork rub, Texas chefs combine equal parts of paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and brown sugar. To add some extra flavor and moisture, Kosher salt is added to a gallon of water and the product is soaked in this mixture for an hour for brining. For a central Texas Brisket rub, equal parts salt and pepper are cooked over post oakwood or smoked until the salt begins to turn colour. Such techniques are unique to Texas.
Hence, every tiny detail is looked after and there are differences in the cooking method of the BBQ in Texas that differentiate it from barbecues of the world.

Now: Take a deep breath, collect yourself, and then click through for some truly amazing photos of Pacino in the Spector wig. Even if this movie ends up being a total train wreck, these photos right here will have made it all worthwhile.

Every now and then the rewards for a relatively small amount of labor are disproportionately high. I just managed such a time and I'm still pretty high over it myself. As a result of helping to organize a Roundtable for Project EXTEND I got to be in on a really lively exchange of ideas among a highly articulate collection of people. It would have been worth it for some of the turns of phrase alone, let alone the content. Only snag was that I kept getting so tied up in listening that my note taking sputtered out, so this will definitely not be comprehensive. But then again, you might not be enthralled by a comprehensive report of a three hour conversation!
So what is EXTEND? It's an effort sponsored by the Exxon Education Foundation to promote communication between the community that provides mathematical education from kindergarten up (and up and up) and the community that hires the recipients of that education. Ultimately, it is envisioned as a nationwide electronic conversation, but for a start the organizers are setting up a few real time face-to-face conversations so as to get a feeling for what the crucial questions are. Our perspectives were many, ranging from the ed biz (lots of us, from colleges and universities and K-12) to the Boeing biz (two, but they held their own just fine!), with sundry layers of business between.
The conversation got off to what for me was a somewhat harrowing start when the opening remarks of a K-12 math curriculum specialist elicited from one of the Boeing people a response of "You're prioritizing WHAT?!?" Turned out to be very useful, though, not only because the ensuing efforts produced a lot of clarification about the difference between diminishing the domination of arithmetic skills and jettisoning them altogether, and about the motivation and strategies involved in the reallocation of emphasis, but because by the time we had bushwhacked our way through that morass the ice was well and truly broken.
With that ground cleared, we were ready for the opening salvo from the industry side, which was duly supplied by a Boeing manager. "The era of the Lone Gunman", said he, "is over!" In his line of work, he doesn't need--in fact, has no use whatever for--the isolated genius who looks over the situation and produces, "Voila!!", a Solution. He works with teams of people, each with his or her own strengths and areas of expertise. There are some definite requirements for the union of the set of skills possessed by the team, but no specific mathematical skill is uniformly indispensible. What is indispensible is the ability to be part of a team--to communicate one's own ideas clearly and convincingly and listen with attention and respect to other people's ideas. A team like that can build on all of the strengths of all of its members and work wonders.
At this point someone noted a significant language difference between the cultures. All the folks from K-16 education were referring to teaching in groups, and all the folks from business were talking about working in teams. I think we can deal with that one!
As the afternoon wore on, a number of people discussed the mathematical needs in their branches of work, and a fascinating variety they were. Some were highly numeric (mental computation of profit margins on negociated discounts), some highly analytic (where in this process could the item that we had at the beginning have disappeared from the inventory?). Most involved at one level or another the ability to communicate. In many cases it was a matter of communicating with the rest of a team. Other times the issue was convincing an outsider of the validity of a process. That one struck me, though I didn't manage to say it at the time, as highly related to the ability to produce a really good proof--not a formalized sequence of equations, but a convincing piece of mathematical prose. Or is that a warped view of a proof?
One recurrent theme was a problem which exists most visibly for mathematics educators, but by transitivity has a definite impact for business. A community college mathematics instructor said it far the best: "We need to deal with the fact that society in general has such an emaciated view of mathematics." How many times have you heard "I always loved mathematics because every problem has a single right answer"--and known that that was a person who, confronted with a calculus problem with more than one step and more than one available approach, would have been among those railing at you for not having shown them how to do it? I think the comment runs second only to "I never could do mathematics"--and the two together point loudly and clearly to what may well be our ultimate challenge: the challenge to the inhabitants both of the world where mathematics is taught and the one where it is used to communicate to the rest of the world just what mathematics is and is good for.
The Boeing manager summed that one up at the end, taking the thoughts we had been percolating and generalizing them to cover all of education: what we have got to do is not just agree among ourselves that certain things are important and worthy of support, but take that agreement, package it and convince the world of its value--convince not just the parents, but the government and the voters. Then we could get the financial support needed to make a real difference. We should, in short, take our knowledge that education is essential and sell the world on the idea. Not a bad image at all--and not one which leaps readily to the academic mind. I think this conversation could have a lot to offer.

My first computer was an Osborne 1, and it's still one of my favorites, though it's no longer made. My old (three years is ''old'' in the computer industry) Ozzie still serves me loyally every day, running my private bulletin board system. There's no shortage of new software for it, thanks to the vigorous Osborne users groups everywhere.
So I was more than academically interested when Osborne Computer Corp. emerged last winter from the ashes of bankruptcy and began to market new computers, including a successor to the Osborne 1 called the Osborne 4, or Vixen. Could Osborne flourish in a troubled industry -- especially when its newest machine was not IBM PC-compatible, but a return to the old (but perhaps not so obsolete) 8-bit CP/M standard?
