User Profile: Picturing the Possibilities
Rendering powerhouse David Maloney gives architects and engineers a window on the future.
By Cyrena Respini-Irwin
When Cadalyst issued its Call for Renderings last year, we received many impressive submissions from professionals like David Maloney, a preconstruction designer. We selected one of Maloney's renderings for publication in the Fall 2010 issue, but when he told us, "I crank out several of these a week," we knew we had to learn more about this man and his design and visualization work.
Cadalyst: Tell us about your background.
Maloney: I was born on a drafting board — and reborn in the computer. I went through all of high school, three years at the University of Milwaukee School of Architecture, and even several years in the working world without any CAD system. It was pencil and paper, ink on mylar, protractor, straightedge, and Leroy templates until the late '80s, when my employer made the transition to CAD with Intergraph's EMS (Engineering Modeling System) software. As an early adopter whose projects produced "eye-candy" graphics, we were a reference account for Intergraph and were handed top-of-the-line hardware and software. In addition to the modeling system, we also had a license to the ModelView rendering and animation package. That was my entry into 3D modeling and visualization.
David Maloney is the preconstruction designer for Novum Structures.
I took to the software quickly, with the help of many people and numerous tutorials. By the mid-90s I transitioned from detailer and CAD manager to sales and marketing support as a designer doing full-time modeling and visualization of our designs. One of my images was even featured on the packaging for ModelView software.
I presented a paper at the 1995 Intergraph user group conference entitled, "The Image of Sales — The Use of Visualization Tools in Marketing." Intergraph was amazing software to learn, and I still consider EMS to be the top CAD package I've ever worked with. Those were the days when lighting and animation were controlled with text strings that had to be placed in certain locations and at particular lengths for the rendering software to interpret. It was quite a struggle to make scenes come alive, but the results made a difference between being awarded a project or not. The design tools became an important part of sales as well. Unfortunately the software only ran on the UNIX hybrid CLIX, which was tied to Intergraph hardware, so at some point I needed to make the next transition into a PC-based environment.
In the late '90s, with Intergraph leaving the CAD/CAM industry, I took night classes at a local technical college to learn about Newtek's Lightwave. With the ease of use and the quality of the images, Lightwave surpassed my previous renderings, and the new tools quickly became second nature. Lightwave also became an invaluable design tool: The polygonal modeling makes revisions and model manipulation so much easier than a parametric model. Animation became an option on many more projects due to the speed and ease of the tools needed to create those scenes. In our industry, if a picture says a thousand words, then an animation speaks volumes. Read more »

From the Trenches: Create Custom AutoCAD Commands and Toolbars
Looking for an easier way to access your custom LISP routines? This user-written tutorial will walk you through the toolbar creation process.
By Emilio Valentin
Have you ever needed to create your own toolbar or command in AutoCAD? Maybe you have some custom LISP routines you been using for years, and you need to add them to your current version of AutoCAD. Sometimes a toolbar may be an easier way to get to those custom routines — and creating one is a simple process. (Note: This tutorial was created with AutoCAD 2009, but the process is virtually identical through more recent releases.)
Almost all commands will now allow linking an icon. So to start, we need the icons, and a folder to store them in. The icons must be in BMP format, and 64 x 64 pixels will work fine. You can use Microsoft Paint to create them. As for the folder, check out Tools > Options > Files to see where AutoCAD looks for the icons.
Next is the folder where your LISP files or scripts are located. These need to be in the support path, and can be on a local drive or network location if you want to share them (the same goes for the icons). Keeping them separate from the program files/AutoCAD directory makes it easier to upgrade or do a repair, because you don't have to worry about them being deleted during an uninstall. Read more »

[Another update: The workaround no longer works.]
[Update: There is a way around the Amazon geographical restriction thing. See here. ]
There have been a lot of raves about the new Amazon.com MP3 download service, mainly because it's 10 cents cheaper than the iTunes Music Store, and it's (allegedly) DRM-free. (I say allegedly, because I'm quite skeptical about these claims from any source, but that's besides the point here.) However, just like their awful UnBox video download service, they restrict download by 'geographical location', meaning that they probably filter by your IP address:
We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase. Please refer to the terms of use for this product to determine the geographical restrictions. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Well gee thanks for the concern, Amazon.

More boring tech news, I supposeJuly 23, 2011
You know, that was the first interesting image that came up in Google Image search. People sleeping, no doubt lulled unconscious by the boring drivel of some guy as he went on and on with his tech news. Sound familiar? Oh yes, that about to happen here! What a coincidence.
My solar keyboard that I got as a gift from Logitech stop charging, so I emailed them and they sent me a brand new one! Logitech still is an amazing company. In the interim period, I actually went out and bought a Logitech Wireless Wave Keyboard. I kept so many good things about the keyboard, about it's ergonomics and how comfortable it was. Well, I thought why not, let's give it a go. What I was presented with was a very comfortable keyboard, indeed. It took me about 15 minutes to get fully comfortable with the keyboard and got up to speed with my typing. And I was able to continue with typing on it for hours without any fatigue. However, there was a problem. Not with the keyboard itself, but me. You see, I hate soft keyboards. The kind where the key are mushy and soft. That is what's on the Wave Keyboard and I loathe is so much. A great keyboard for comfort but not for typing enjoyment. It's like if I had to buy a keyboard for a workplace for typing long hours, this would be it.
I got my replacement solar keyboard back and I'm happy. But, if I were to go out and spend a lot of cash on a keyboard, it'd be a mechanical keyboard. You may remember those, the heavy clicky clacky keyboards that were supremely loud but amazing to type on. Well, just for kicks, I did. Thanks to a sale at Fry's, I was able to get a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate for $90. Pretty intense name for a somewhat simple keyboard. Ok, not too simple with it's custom font, blue backlights and extra macro keys. But simple as it's still a qwerty keyboard. But simple in looks really doesn't explain how amazing it is to type on mechanical keys again. The last time I typed on a mechanical keyboard was at Arthur's house for a few seconds as I test his Das Keyboard out. And before that, years ago.
Amazingly, it took me pretty long to get back my typing speed on it. Usually, I can go to almost any keyboard and type easily, reaching full speed and comfort in 10 minutes or up to an hour at the most. On this mechanical keyboard, it actually took me nearly 4 hours of continuous typing to get my speed back without an insane amount of typos. Surprising, when typing is something I'm so used to doing. Even now, when I'm fully comfortable with the keyboard and I'm blazing along, I still don't feel right. It just feels like something is off, something wrong, and something not complete. I'm giving the keyboard the weekend to play out any funkiness. If it's still giving me some trouble, it'll have to go back. Hey, not all mechanical keyboards are created equal, so trial by fire is just the way I'll have to go about it.

University Relations and Communications
College of Business dean selected as interim provost
May 17, 2010
Dan Carter, University Relations, 657-2269
MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — Dr. Gary Young, dean of the Montana State University Billings College of Business, has been selected to serve as interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the university.
Young begins his job on June 7, 2010, to permit a smooth transition with current provost, Dr. D'Ann Campbell. Campbell will be moving to Canton, Mo., to become the academic affairs leader at Culver-Stockton College on July 1.
In making the announcement, MSU Billings Chancellor Ron Sexton said he will count on Young to provide the academic leadership and community connections to build on the university's established reputation of excellence while advancing MSU Billings as an urban university and an integral part of the Montana State University "one university" mission.
"This is an important time of transition for MSU Billings and our colleges, deans, department chairs, faculty and staff will have important roles to play moving forward," Sexton said. "I know Dr. Young will do well in maintaining high standards of academic excellence and build new relationships across the university. He will represent the university well with his academic colleagues across the Montana University System."
Young has been dean of the College of Business since December 2006. In the past year, he and the faculty of the college successfully navigated the process to receive accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. That international recognition of high quality is attained by less than five percent of the world's business schools.
"The last three-and-a-half years have been the highlight of my professional career," Young said. "MSU Billings is a great place to work and Billings is a wonderful place to live. I'm pleased to be able to serve as interim provost."
Young, originally from Tennessee, came to Billings from Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tenn., where he has been dean of business and a professor of economics from 2000 to 20006. Prior to his experience at Carson-Newman, a four-year, liberal arts Baptist college, he served as dean of the school of business administration at the University of Tennessee, Martin. He is a graduate of Tennessee Technological University and has a master's degree from Clemson University. He received his Ph.D. from Louisiana Tech University.
His work on economics, trade and the entrepreneurial spirit have been widely published and has been honored for his leadership and involvement with national accreditation bodies for colleges of business.
Besides his work with accreditation efforts, Young has worked to develop partnerships in Billings to advance awareness of the College of Business and its faculty. In the past year, new relationships have been developed with the Downtown Billings Partnership and the city of Billings as well as a new transfer program with the MSU Billings College of Technology.
As interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, Young will have responsibility for academic leadership of six colleges — Allied Health Professions; Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Professional Studies and Lifelong Learning; and Technology — as well as the MSU Billings libraries and will work closely with student services and administrative services leaders.

Agent Carter's Second Season To Make a Connection with Doctor Strange. The Marvel Cinematic Universe had always been mentioned in several of its Marvel television series. Agent Carter will also be making that connection during its second season with the film Doctor Strange.
Despite the ABC series moving far from what's going on in the present Marvel films, the second season is about to go deep into the supernatural world of the MCU. The show will be focusing a bit on the extra-dimensional negative energy known as Darkforce, a concept in the Marvel comics that will be touched upon in the upcoming film Doctor Strange. This is something that Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) will be investigating during her time in LA, but the energy will be referred to it's scientific name, Isodyne.
Showrunner Michele Fazekas spoke with ComicBookResources about the connection between the two properties:
That's what Isodyne is, and what you'll learn is they were involved in the nuclear testing out in the desert when they were testing the, at the time they were calling it the atom bomb – and one of these tests didn't go as expected. You'll learn more about that in Season 2, but they stumble upon what people in the Marvel Universe will know as Darkforce, but because they've never seen it before they just name it Zero Matter. That's our tie-in to the Doctor Strange universe, and also to S.H.I.E.L.D. because you've seen it in S.H.I.E.L.D. as well.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. mentioned Darkforce during it's second season when the team went up against Blackout, a superpowered human who absorbs energy through Darkforce. It will be interesting to see how the film will go into that since Stephen Strange doesn't use it. What do you guys think?

I watched my daughters climb all over the booth and shout at each other with excitement. My youngest could not contain her joy at being the birthday girl. Since it was her birthday, she got to choose her birthday dinner. She requested a trip to her favorite burger place, and she wanted to eat inside instead of going through the drive through.
My husband was harried and worried about how rambunctious our girls were. I looked at them both and just smiled. I felt so much joy at watching my two cavort like little puppies. My girls really love each other, and they enjoy each other's company.
The girls were goofing around and dancing in the booths. I gently scolded them from time to time as my husband looked at me like I was from another planet. I have never been the Zen type with our daughters, particularly not when we are out in public.
I struggled with severe postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression after the birth of my youngest daughter. Her birthdays have always been very triggering days for me—except for this year.
The past two birthdays had been so bittersweet. I spent half of her actual birthday choking back tears at all the wasted moments, minutes, hours, and days. I did not get help until she was nearly eight months old. I regretted that I did not reach out for help sooner. I worried constantly that I damaged our relationship beyond repair.
I spent my daughter's last two birthdays trying desperately to make her birthday absolutely perfect. I thought that the perfect birthday celebration would help assuage my guilt. Instead I spent her birthdays completely exhausted and stressed out by all the details. I had to make a cake from scratch. The house had to be cleaned from top to bottom. This resulted in multiple meltdowns from me in the week leading up to her birthday.
Since she and her older sister are born a week apart, we would combine their birthday celebrations which only exacerbated my stress level. Striving for perfection was not a realistic goal for me at all. I am a recovering perfectionist, and I am still a work in progress.
This year I reached a major milestone in my recovery from postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. I experienced nothing but joy and delight on my baby girl's birthday. Sadly my baby is no longer a baby; she is a lively and energetic three-year-old. I was able to just enjoy her curious and feisty spirit as she bounced up and down repeatedly in the booth at the restaurant.
I just soaked in all the funny facial expressions as she opened up her presents from us. I cried tears of joy at the end of the night when I realized how far I had come. I was able to remain fully present for her entire birthday. I did not need to give myself a break for some self-care or to recharge my batteries, and that is amazing. My sweet girl has the type of energy that my husband and I desperately want. She wakes up and is ready to attack the day with vigor. We need multiple cups of coffee to be able to match half of her energy.
My wish for all the warrior mamas who are struggling is that you reach that point where you can enjoy your postpartum depression baby's birthdays. I wish for you a day of smiles, laughter, sweetness, and tears of joy. I wish for you a day filled with hope and promise when you realize how deep your love is for that amazing person that calls you mama. You realize that YOU are the best mama for your baby. Your strength and your compassion are exactly what your baby needs.
Never give up hope and know this: You are so loved. You are not alone. You will be well.
~ Jen Gaskell

Part 20 and still not be done.
This will be my final part so feel free to add
what you believe are the reasons pertaining to this topic.
It is common to hear most men complain about
how women nag about every little issue. Lets start with the definition for nagging.
verb. to annoy by persistent faultfinding, complaints, or demands.
fair share of it my life and I would often wonder whether to comment on an
issue or not for fear of being accused of nagging. I kept quiet most of the
time. I believe a fair share of married men have been driven away from their marital
homes due to consistent nagging from their wives. The Bible even states in Proverbs 21:19 It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and
fretful woman. This means that even our Creator
knows how nagging can drive a man nuts and make him look for solace elsewhere.
You see, I believe us women like to ask
things of our men which when not met within our timeframe often brings
down a barrage of questions and so forth which translates into nagging. The
thing about men is although they act like they haven't heard what a woman says
or asks, its actually been stored in their brains. Its just that we don't get
the response as quick as we would like to.
Some women are known to nag about
the way their husbands dress, their style of eating, the car they drive, their
work, etc. All because they want a classier, richer, stylish husband just like
their friends'. The wives always find faults with their husbands and criticize
his every decision in the home. As a wife if you compare your husband with your
friends' you will are in danger of losing him!
The danger in nagging is that it crosses the
line between complaining to disrespectfulness. A man would interpret your
constant nagging as a disrespectful tone. Beware of the tone in your voice when
you have something to say to your man.
Nagging is irritating to any man, he would rather go hide somewhere with
some other woman who gives him peace than to sit in the war zone with you.
Be gracious in your speech as a wife, this
means recognizing your husband as the head and giving him the respect which God
commands you as a wife to give. When you aren't getting the response you are
looking for, be patient. Men aren't like women. They process a lot of
information one at a time and take time to analyze them before responding
unlike we women who tend to speak immediately when spoken to. You want to keep
your man at home? Stop nagging and trying to change him.
5 signs you are a nag;
4. You send 5 texts during the work day to remind him about
your anniversary dinner or the visit to your parents house.
than you do making love.
Enjoy this joke about a nagging wife:
Farmer Jake had a nagging wife who made his life
miserable. The only real peace that he got was when he
was out in the field plowing.
One day when he was out in the field, Jake's wife
brought his lunch to him. Then she stayed while he
quietly ate and berated him with a constant stream of
nagging and complaining. Suddenly, Jake's old mule
kicked up his back legs, striking the wife in the head,
and killing her instantly.
At the wake, Jake's minister noticed that when the
women offered their sympathy to Jake he would nod his
head up and down. But when the men came up and spoke
quietly to him, he would shake his head from side to
When the wake was over and all the mourners had left,
the minister approached Jake and asked, "Why was it
that you nodded your head up and down to all the women
and shook your head from side to side to all the men?"
Well, Jake replied, "The women all said how nice she
looked, and her dress was so pretty," so I agreed by
nodding my head up and down. The men all asked, "Is
that mule for sale!?"

Some people instinctively know how to cook. Some can sing like no other. Some people can ride a horse perfectly after never having met one before.
Not me.
Okay, I'm a pretty fab home cook and I can ride but I had to watch and study and learn. I had to imitate others to be able to do these things myself. Therefore I am not naturally talented. I have to keep learning, trying, experimenting and refining to be good at something. Hey, don't we all? I think it was my Dad that said,
"You might be the world' s best violinist or archer but if you never pick up a violin or a bow how will you know?"
I'm not sure where he heard that but he's right.
Everyone in the world has a talent but if you never get the chance to try that one thing, you'll never know if you could have been the best. Lack of patience can hold you back. Lack of imagination can hold you back. Parents, family, peers, colleagues, friends, fear of the unknown, money, culture and indifference can hold you back.
I love painting. I feel I'm not naturally talented but I can imitate very successfully. With patience, practise and perseverance I think you can be good at anything. So I'm a pretty good painter. Just because I really really want to be. If you look at my Dad' s saying the other way round, there's no point being the best painter in the world if you don't actually paint.
The thing is, like I said before, if I don't keep doing what I love doing (painting) then I lose the muscle memory, the colour palettes, the shaping, all the little tricks that made that one single painting good all those weeks ago. I have to practise and build it all back up again. I cannot simply create masterpieces. I am not a fluke; a rare talent that just is.
I'm not alone. Most of the world is like me. We all have to practise and keep going. For most real people it's discipline that makes us great, not always talent.
I will keep going with the painting. Eventually I will get something fabulous on paper that makes other people say "Wow, aren't you talented." and I will say "Yes, why yes I am."

Neurospasta is a free-form Kinect game platform for full-body experimentation and play. Participants control their own Kinect-based puppet. They can also select 3 functions (Scale Body, Repel Head, and Switch Head) to control the other player's avatar.
Concept One of the most amazing thing about the Kinect is how easy and fast it recognize the human body's skeleton. From the moment we got our Kinect, we started thinking of how to take advantage of it and make a fun project. We knew that puppet control with Kinect is not a new concept, but letting one person manipulate an other one's avatar is new and interesting. The players will have the choice to interact and fight with their avatar against one another, or just simply explore different ways of manipulating the appearance and/or ability of their avatar. We soon made a list of possible manipulations as well as some sketches make the idea concrete.
We use openFrameworks as the development environment and ofxOpenNI library to track human skeletons.
As a full-body experimentation project, we hope all the operation is based on body language, i.e. no mouse, no keyboard. Calibration – before starting the game, each player has to stand in front of the Kinect with both hands up to tell the computer to recognize him. After being recognized, he can start to control his avatar.Selection – to select a certain function (e.g. Switch), a player puts both hands on the corresponding button. The system will calculate the hands' position and choose a relative function. Functions
Scale – the scale function lets one player scale the other player's full body according to his hand's gesture – if his hands are closer, the other player will become smaller, vice versa.
Repel – the repel function lets one player repel the other player's head. When his hands approach the other player's head, the head will fly away from the body.
Switch – the switch function lets one player switch his own head to the other player's head.

For those of you who took the time to read of the dismal failure of "Gas Bike.net in their business and support policies, here is an update.
For those of you contemplating a business transaction with either Gas bike or King bike: a bit of advice DO NOT DO IT !!
I took the time to file a complaint with the better business bureau and found that both "companies" have in excess of 20 plus complaints in the present time period offered up on the BBB site. Their rating is.....Surprise: "F" with many complaints for reasons similar to those I experienced. They only answer the sales line. All other attempts at communication are put to "voice mail" and a response is never received.
FYI: "chat line" non existent,"customer service" supposedly open a whopping three hours a day well, doesn't matter: voicemail. "Contact us", yeah, right.
The advice from JD in the last post regarding "GB is valid: If you feel you must do business with either Gas Bike or King Bike then by all means, do so with a credit card so you will have some recourse.
This is, IMHO a REAL Bona fide SLEAZEBAG operation.
Consider yourself warned.

Spoek Mathambo – Mixtape + Video Game
Back to the future with South African Rapper Spoek Mathambo! As a tribute to his birth year he presents us a full album mixtape called "Escape from '85″ homaging Madonna, Prince, Queen, to name a few. The free download is accompanied by a trashy arcade inspired 2D video game – don't miss the chance to shoot David Hasselhoff! Big fun!
"I picked some of my favourite pop and dance songs from '85… mostly western ones with some gems from South Africa… to see how far we could go whilst retaining the glitter and cowbell fun of the 80s. In general it was a great time for the beginnings of house and techno, innovations in hip-hop, pop… I definitely spent a loooooot of time as a kid playing games from Commodore68, to Golden China, Nintendo, Sega… we put in a lot of shifts. That was probably my first link to all night partying… staying up all night with my cousin a bunch of sweets trying to finish a game. Game rave."
The video game is crafted byRamJam guys from Brighton. One level for each song, so grab a big bag of sweets and play it down.

First and foremost, there is this kind:(found on the internet)
Twas the night of Thanksgiving and out of the house
Tiger Woods came a flyin', chased by his spouse.
She wielded a nine iron and wasn't too merry,
Cause a bimbo's phone number was in his Blackberry.
He'd been cheatin' on Elin, and the story progressed.
Woman after woman stepped up and confessed.
He'd been cheatin' with Holly, and Jaimee, and Cori,
With Joselyn, and Kalika. The world had the story.
From the top of the Tour to the basement of blues,
Tiger's sad sordid tale was all over the news.
With hostesses, waitresses, he had lots of sex,
When not in their pants, he was sendin' them texts.
Despite all his cryin' and beggin' and pleadin',
Tiger's wife went investin' — a new home in Sweden .
And I heard her exclaim from her white Escalade,
"If you're gettin' laid then I'm gettin' paid."
She's not pouting, in fact, she is of jolly good cheer,
Her prenup made Christmas come early this year.
Next in level of popularity, there is this:
Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are wearily sighing:
Toll ye the church bell sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year you must not die;
You came to us so readily,
You lived with us so steadily,
Old year you shall not die.
He lieth still: he doth not move:
He will not see the dawn of day.
He hath no other life above.
He gave me a friend and a true truelove
And the New-year will take 'em away.
Old year you must not go;
So long you have been with us,
Such joy as you have seen with us,
Old year, you shall not go.
He froth'd his bumpers to the brim;
A jollier year we shall not see.
But tho' his eyes are waxing dim,
And tho' his foes speak ill of him,
He was a friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die;
We did so laugh and cry with you,
I've half a mind to die with you,
Old year, if you must die.
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are o'er.
To see him die across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post-haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own.
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the New-year blithe and bold, my friend,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes! over the snow
I heard just now the crowing cock.
The shadows flicker to and fro:
The cricket chirps: the light burns low:
'Tis nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands, before you die.
Old year, we'll dearly rue for you:
What is it we can do for you?
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin.……………………………………Tennyson
Alack! our friend is gone,
Close up his eyes: tie up his chin:
Step from the corpse, and let him in
That standeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door.
There's a new foot on the floor, my friend,
And a new face at the door, my friend,
A new face at the door.
The two most popular versions of poetry, then, are poems of Humor and Elegy. The anonymous joke-poem now popular on the internet appeals to the spirit of satire and fun.
The 19th century boasts triumphs of melancholy and sadness, like "The Raven," a poem which itself was quickly satirized.
Is it an accident that the two most popular versions are two defining moods on opposite ends of the human emotional scale: jest and buffoonery on one hand, quiet, dignified sorrow on the other?
The next level of popularity are probably the twin types of Wisdom and Love.
Poems with a simple, yet philosophical message tend to be sonnet-length; Shakespeare's sonnets can be found in this category, and, most recently, perhaps, Frost's famous "The Road Not Taken."
Poems of "wisdom" have been on the wane these last 50 years, or at least successful ones of this type, as anything resembling the didactic has been banned by the sophisticated indirectness currently fashionable.
"Do Not Go Gentle" is more a pleading than a piece of advice, but more recently the wisdom bird has been spotted in the poetry of Mary Oliver and Billy Collins, for instance. This may be the essence of both these poets' appeal: plain-spoken wisdom. So perhaps this class of poem has not disappeared, after all.
The Love poem, like the Wisdom poem, seems to have declined among the critically acclaimed in the modern, and especially post-modern eras. You just don't find MFA grads expressing "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways" sentiments in poetry.
From Petrarch through Auden, love was nearly the sole subject of the lyric. In poetry today, how far has love fallen? Opening at random one of those big anthologies, I find this 'Song' from Thomas Stanley (d. 1678), and here are the first two of its five stanzas:
I prithee let my heart alone,
Since now 'tis raised above thee,
Not all the beauty thou dost own,
Again can make me love thee;He that was shipwrecked once before
By such a siren's call,
And yet neglects to shun that shore,
Deserves his second fall.………………………………………Thomas Stanley
How delightful that we get not only the Love poem, but a Wisdom poem, too. This makes a kind of sense in the popularity scheme we are constructing, with Humor and Elegy on the top tier and Love and Wisdom existing together on the second.
Characteristics of the genres can certainly mingle, and many an ambitious bard has probably sought to conciously use Love and Wisdom and Humor and Elegy all in the same poem in order to produce a masterpiece of popularity: one comes to mind right away, in fact: Andrew Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress." It has the properties of all four, does it not? It is elegaic: it mourns the swift passage of time; it is a love poem, certainly; it surely has an archness, which is a part of its appeal, and it contains a common-sense argument, as well, and thus is also a wisdom poem. And as the centuries pass, "To His Coy Mistress" is moving up the ladder of most popular poem of all time.
Is it possible that contemporary poems do not stick in the mind for the simple reason that without one of these four types to guide it, Humor, Elegy, Wisdom, or Love, the popular taste feels immediately at sea, no matter how skilled the versifier? Might this be some kind of natural law?
Let us, again, open another book at random, this time to a poem from a contemporary; here is the first stanza, from "Victim of Himself" by Marvin Bell:
He thought he saw a long way off the ocean
cresting and falling, bridging the continents,
carrying the whole sound of human laughter
and moans—especially moans, in the mud of misery—
but what he saw was already diluted, evaporating,
and what he felt were his teeth grinding
and the bubbles of saliva that broke on his tongue.
………………………………………………Marvin Bell
Bell is certainly no slouch as a poet, but reading this, why is it pretty certain this poem will never be popular?

As for an introduction I think I covered it all in my previous post so there is not much to add.
So now onto my projects in a little more detail. As I said in my last post my current WIP is called Siberian gold it is a kit from Anchor that I started around a year ago, but have not been stitching solidly. I only decided to photograph the piece when I picked it up again in the new year... This is what I had then
Since then I have progressed quite a bit and I have noticed that I have a very different stitching style to others in that I like to stitch all of one colour and look at the larger picture, this means that there is a lot more counting and also the risk of more mistakes early on but I love the way it slowly builds up over time and seeing what Im stitching from early on..Here is my progress to date.
My aim for the year is to progress this project as much as I can, I dont think that It will be finished but we will see how much I get done :-)
On to February's topic....
Number of projects .... Until recently I have been a one project at a time person, but that is because I have always jumped into the large projects and didnt really spend much time on small projects... this is typical for me, I jump in head first and then try often find myself too deep, but enjoy the challenge...however with a little extra funds I have been able to buy a few more kits and so this weekend I started and completed a bookmark for my other half, it was nice to do something quick for once and so I can see myself in the future being happy to have 1 big project and a couple of smaller projects on the go :-)
I will add a pic of the bookmark in my next post :-)
Happy stitching x

Chiropractors have a variety of chiropractic techniques in their treatment arsenal. Each technique is designed to effectively address and treat specific underlying conditions. Some chiropractic treatments may even combine different methods to optimize results. Manual spinal adjustments gently realign the spinal components to its proper position to eliminate irritation and nerve compression. These adjustments can take place on the cervical, thoracic or lumbar areas of the spine and are effective for a broad range of injuries, including herniated disc, whiplash, muscle strains, sciatica and much more. To treat neck and shoulder pain due a cervical injury, chiropractors may use a high-velocity, low-amplitude technique or a low-velocity, low-amplitude technique. Lumbar disc techniques include spinal manipulation and chiropractic mobilization. Chiropractic mobilization is a low-velocity technique that includes the movement and stretching of muscles and joints.
Scar tissue release, myofascial realize and ocular release all have specific purposes. While scar tissue is the natural result of the body's healing process, an individual's body might not breakdown the scar tissue and trigger pain. Scar tissue release therapy is a series of fascial techniques that release restrictive tissue to actually breakdown the scar tissue. Myofascial release therapy focuses on releasing muscle tightness. It's highly effective for migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain and hip pain.
Mechanical traction is often used to treat the lumbar or cervical spine. This type of traction uses a computerized split-traction table to apply distraction force to the affected area. Patients are harnessed and secured to the table. Positive point therapy is a type of trigger point release therapy where therapists use their finger to apply pressure to the affected area and then slowly release. It helps reduce "knots," inflammation and pain. For those suffering with scoliosis, scoliosis re-patterning is designed to release the primary restrictions, relieve pain and restore function.
Visceral manipulation is another tool in the chiropractic toolbox. It's manual technique with specific thrusts that enhance mobility, tissue motion and tone. It's effective for gastrointestinal symptoms. The sacro-occipital utilizes pelvic blocks and hands-on adjusting techniques. Based on the needs of the patients, chiropractors may use low force or standard adjusting techniques with this method.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS: Fast
January 06, 2010
Yes, I was nine miles late. Whatever. I was too busy going fast. And no, I'm not being puerile with this particular speed reading (though I know you are). I made it so because it's the velocity at which the Camaro gets real fast provided you play it right.
Granted, the procedure I'm about to describe is not one you'd normally associate with a 400-plus-horsepower muscle car. We're not kidding about this car's lazy gearing. But trust me -- if you've ever got a Camaro SS on one of those closed course things, give it a shot.
Step 1: hold it at 69 mph and downshift to 3rd, which puts you right at 4,000 rpm.
Step 2: floor it.
There aren't many cars on the road that can keep up with the SS after that. The Corvette-sourced V8 just makes a whole bunch of country-strong power from 4,000 rpm to redline (also atypical by historical muscle-car standards). I prefer the subjectively brawnier low-end torque of my newly beloved Challenger R/T's 5.7-liter Hemi, but there's no doubt the Chevy will flat smoke either Challenger (R/T or SRT-8) once that LS3 gets going.

Home of the 5 years or 50,000 mile warranty!
If you start the car and move the gear selector to reverse or drive and do not move, there are possibly internal transmission problems. This particular problem may occur suddenly with no prior warning.
All unusual grinding or whirring noises when the car is in gear should be checked out by a qualified transmission shop such as ALLSTAR Transmission.
An automatic transmission is very complicated. Checking the transmission fluid level is very easy and this simple act can potentially save you needing a future major repair. Locate the transmission fluid dip stick- it is usually at the rear of the engine and looks like a smaller version of the oil dip stick.
In some newer vehicles, the transmission fluid can only be checked by lifting the car up on a hoist and opening the transmission plug- this must be done by a qualified transmission shop such as ALLSTAR as adding needed fluid requires specialized equipment.
If your dip stick is accessible, the engine should be warmed up and running in order to get an accurate reading. Add fluid if it's low and take note of the fluid color on the dip stick. If it's a transparent pink color- everything is fine. If it's rusty color, it is time for a fluid change- a service we can perform for you at ALLSTAR. If the fluid is dark in color and has a burnt smell, the transmission may be damaged. Please bring the car by and let us have a look.
If your car has a manual transmission and you have difficulty shifting gears, the transmission fluid may be low. Always make sure the clutch pedal is loose enough to push down ½ inch to one inch before the clutch engages. It's important to have the clutch adjusted if the amount of play exceeds one inch. If you neglect this minor repair you may have to replace the clutch. If you are not sure about your clutch, we will be happy to check it for you.
Whenever you suspect that your gears and transmission are not working properly, do not wait until they fail completely. Have it checked so any problems are detected early- sometimes a small issue can be resolved before it becomes a bigger concern.
You should regularly check the transmission fluid as part of transmission maintenance. Transmission fluid color will tell you a lot about the state of your transmission. As part of transmission maintenance, you should also change the transmission fluid regularly.
Ensure good transmission maintenance by:
Stop by ALLSTAR Transmission today in the SeaTac, WA area or call us at 206-686-2883 and we will assist you with transmission maintenance for either your manual or automatic transmission.
If you notice vibrations when your drive, your transmission may be giving out and you may end up on the side of the road- broken down unexpectedly.
A scraping, grating or growling noise from the car whenever you start to move forward or in reverse signals an transmission problem. The transmission fluid may be low or the fluid may be contaminated and needs changing. Even if you don't notice anything more than one small symptom, you should still have your transmission checked out.
We at ALLSTAR Transmission will be happy to give you our professional opinion about your problem- at no charge.
Bring your vehicle to us when:
If you note any of these signs, bring your vehicle in for a check-up to try and prevent further transmission problems.
Knowing how to detect transmission problems early and undertaking good transmission maintenance are just part of extending the life of a manual or automatic transmission.
There are tips that can help you to extend the life of a manual or automatic transmission.
To extend the life of a manual or automatic transmission, you should regularly have it checked and have service done so that any further problems with the transmission can be prevented.
Checking the transmission fluid of your manual or automatic transmission is a way of extending the life of a transmission.
To extend the life of a manual or automatic transmission:
Tips for your Automatic Transmission
Tips for your Manual Transmission and Differential
Knowing your Transmission (what it is and how it works)
The transmission of your car is made up of a series of gears that control the power of the engine to your wheels. An automatic transmission shifts the gears for you according to the speed of the engine and the power required. Usually there are 3 gears, sometimes a 4th or overdrive. Automatic transmissions are extremely complex and replacing one is the most extensive car repair you may ever encounter.
With transmission service from ALLSTAR Transmission, you will receive quality work at a fair price. A manual transmission is found mostly on economy cars and sports cars. Manual transmissions are much less complex because YOU do all the work to operate them. The transmission doesn't have to figure out the right time to shift gears. Repairs on manual transmissions usually will also have to do with the clutch which temporarily disengages the transmission from the engine while you shift gears. The clutch is operated by a foot pedal and as you can imagine the clutch goes through a lot of stress- especially with inexperienced drivers. Over time the clutch wears out and will need replacement.
That's when ALLSTAR Transmission can help.
Reasons to bring your Automatic Transmission Vehicle to the Transmission Shop
Reasons to bring your Manual Transmission Vehicle to the Transmission Shop
ALLSTAR stands behind our hassle free warranty commitment to you! If you have a problem, and your warranty is still in force, we WILL take care of the issue at no charge to you! We warranty our remanufactured transmissions and torque converters to be free of faulty workmanship or material failure for the following period of time: Passenger Cars: 5 years or 50,000 Miles Pickups, Vans, 4x4's and R.V.'s: 5 years or 50,000 Miles
ALLSTAR Transmissions is the Warrantor. This warranty is good only to the original purchaser of the repairs (name noted on the receipt) and is not transferable to subsequent owners. Materials and labor are under warranty for 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Other warranty limits are available and if in effect, the alternate warranty timeframe will be noted on your receipt. If no warranty limit is noted, the warranty is our standard 5 years, 50,000 miles. Repairs will be performed at the warrantor's shop (ALLSTAR) at no charge to the original purchaser within the limits of the warranty provided at time of repair.
This warranty covers parts, labor and the cost of replacing transmission fluid only. It does not cover such things as towing, loss of use, loss of earnings, personal damages, per diem expenses, or any other consequential or incidental damages. ALLSTAR Transmissions obligations under the terms of this warranty are to replace or repair defective parts and / or defectively furnished labor only. Customer understands that the work performed can fail, due to no fault of the warrantor. Parts related to, but not part of the transmission, can fail after the job is completed and have an adverse affect on the repaired transmission. Under these circumstances, your warranty is not valid, and the warrantor will not be held liable for these unpredicted events. The warrantor is responsible only for the parts replaced on the original invoice. The warrantor is not responsible for damage resulting from parts external of the transmission such as, but not limited to a) controls, b) linkage, c) radiators, d) external coolers, e) mounts, f) oil lines, g) electrical / electronic components external to the transmission. Any of these items, as well as others, can lead to damage of the repaired unit. These items are not normally included in a transmission repair job.
The vehicle is used for towing and is not properly equipped, nor will it be valid if worked on by a repair shop other than ALLSTAR,or if the transmission has been improperly installed by other than the warrantor shop,or if factory approved fluid has not been used,or if the transmission is abused or is damaged by an accident.
We recommend you have the transmission checked within 15 days by ALLSTAR for oil level, leaks and proper shifting. This will be done at the ALLSTAR at no charge. We further suggest you check the fluid level each time you check the engine oil for the first 60 days. Report any fluid loss to ALLSTAR. Change fluid, clean pan, and replace filter as per the manufacturer's instructions listed in the vehicle's owners manual. Failure to do so will void your warranty. Retain your receipts and invoices as proof of proper maintenance.
Your vehicle must come back to ALLSTAR whenever possible for covered warranty work to be completed. This must be done at your expense; ALLSTAR is not responsible for towing, shipping, or any other expenses incurred in transporting your vehicle to our shop. If you experience a problem and you are out of town (more than 100 miles away), call ALLSTAR at 1-800-900-7336 and follow the instructions given to you by the owner or shop manager to avoid incurring repair charges that will not be reimbursed to you.
ALLSTAR Transmission provides this limited warranty in good faith that you, the customer, will properly operate and not abuse your vehicle or your newly repaired transmission. If any abuse is noted, or other damage beyond what is considered in the industry as normal, subsequent work to repair your transmission again will not be covered under the warranty. When the warranty is not valid due to circumstances beyond normal use, or due to abuse, a work-out arrangement may be made to you by the owner or shop manager to offset some of the costs to repair the transmission again. In some cases, labor charges will be done complimentary, however all parts to repair the transmission again will be charged to you if abuse or misuse is noted during the period of time the warranty is in effect.

Yes, my friends, that's hot dogs, peanuts and cracker jack! You remember the song, "Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack." Well, of course, we didn't just have hot dogs, we had lots of fixins. It was a lot of fun AND our team won!
I may not always pull together a huge unit study with lots of activities, but we're building little memories. One day, in the not too distant future, our boys will have homes of their own. maybe they'll serve peanuts on opening day too.

Neal Dingmann's Main Points
Neal Dingmann
Fundamental Energy Outlook
- Fundamental Upside
- Today's environment is different than it has been in the past, as macro factors currently support the energy picture
- Supply and demand imbalance
- Flat to decreasing supply - lower quarterly production, lower exports, and few near-term alternatives
- Increasing demand - higher industrial use, higher GDP, higher GNP
- Increasing asset sales
- The start of REAL growth in pricing/margin
- High crude oil price support
- Tight capacity/political unrest
- While all energy sectors should benefit from the macro outlook, the OSX and XNG are most levered (generally)
- Less Supply - Details
- Q2 '04 domestic gas production was down 3-3.8% YoY, after a previous decline of 4.2-4.4% in Q1
- Mexico
- Now a bigger importer of natural gas, the country's demand for this fuel has outpaced its production in the past decade
- Canada
- Since peaking in 2001, annual natural gas exports to the U.S. have fallen, declining 11.4% from 2002-2003
- While estimates vary regarding timing and incremental supply, domestic regulation could present a tough obstacle
- Nuclear
- Currently over 96% of capacity, which is 2% higher than the same period last year
- Coal
- Current prices of $59.50 / short ton are the highest in history
- Growing Demand - Details
- Energy Information Administration (EIA) is forecasting the demand for natural gas to rise 1.1% YoY in 2004
- Alternative Sources
- Demand for coal, hydro, nuclear, and other energy sources is expected to rise in 2004
- Macro Demand
- Q2 '04 GDP rose 7.0% YoY, after rising 5.6% in 2003
- Crude Price Support
- With the price of crude at $44.50/bbl, it is hard to imagine natural gas falling below $5.50/Mcf in the near future
- Domestic Natural Gas Drilling
- Primary Driver
- 80% of U.S. drilling is directed toward natural gas
- Expectations of higher natural gas prices influence spending on U.S. drilling activity
- Strong commodity prices are drivers in our U.S. rig forecast. We are expecting the U.S. rig count to be up 14% in this year, and up another 1% in 2005
- While rig count totals can vary, there is no questioning the higher rig growth or utilization
- The big difference between the present upcycles in land drilling rates and utilization versus the upcycles in 200/2001 is the rate of increase. Since the rate is more moderated this time, I believe the upcycle can last longer
- Higher U.S. rig activity has historically coincided with a higher OSX price
- Current Upcycle Performance
- In the upcycle that has taken place between October 2001 and today, small/mid cap service and land drillers have outperformed all other sub-sectors

Yeast and fermentation
Grape juice is turned into alcohol by the process of
. Grapes on the vine are covered with yeast, mold and bacteria. By putting grape juice into a container at the right temperature, yeast will turn the sugar in the juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The grape juice will have fermented.
The winemaker has many different yeast strains to choose from (and can use different strains at different times during the process). The most common wine yeast is Saccharomyces.
As yeast works, it causes grape juice ('must') to get hot. However, if there's too much heat, the yeast won't work. One modern way to deal with this is to put the juice into large stainless steel containers that have refrigeration systems built around the sides so that the winemaker can regulate temperature precisely.
A less modern, but still widely used way to ferment wine is to place it in small oak barrels. '
Barrel fermentation
' is usually done at a lower temperature in temperature controlled rooms and takes longer, perhaps around 6 weeks. The longer fermentation and use of wood usually more expensive than deploying stainless steel containers.
Eventually, the yeast no longer converts sugar into alcohol, and fermentation stops. Note that different strains of yeast, which can survive in higher and higher levels of alcohol, can take over and contribute their own flavor to the wine -- as well as converting a bit more sugar to alcohol.
After fermentation is complete what you have left is the wine, 'dead' yeast cells, known as
and various other substances.
Malolactic Fermentation:
The winemaker may choose to allow the wine to undergo a second fermentation which occurs due to malic acid in the grape juice. When malic acid is allowed to break down into carbon dioxide and lactic acid (due to bacteria in the wine), it is known as 'malolactic fermentation,' which can impart additional flavors to the wine. For example, a "buttery" flavor in some whites is due to this process. In addition, since malic acid is perceived as more sour than lactic acid, the process also reduces the perceived acidity of the wine.
Malolactic fermentation is much more prevalent in red wines than in whites, with the smell of apples in white wine denoting the presaging the presence of malic acid.

Pakistan interior minister shows reservation on death sentence of BD Jamaat chief
SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association)
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan expressed on Saturday concern over the award of death sentence to Bangladesh Jamaat-i-Islami chief Motiur Rehman Nizami.
In a statement, he said that though what happened in Bangladesh was that country's internal matter, yet Pakistan could not remain divorced from references to 1971 and its aftermath.
He said it was highly unfortunate that almost 45 years after that tragic chain of events, the Bangladeshi government still seemed to be living in the past and totally ignoring the time-tested virtue of forgive and forget.
He said one failed to understand why the Bangladeshi government was hell-bent on digging the graves of the past and reopening old wounds.
He said it seemed obvious to any independent observer that recent events in Bangladesh were a manifestation of serious political violations which are being inflicted on Bangladesh's Jamaat-i-Islami for events before the independence of Bangladesh.
The minister said he was deeply saddened to receive this shocking news and believed that the government of Bangladesh had misused the process of law as a political tool against the Jamaat leader.

On Friday I am going to arrive at the shop before 1:00 to set up a battlefield 4x4.
Wayne, bring an 800 point army made up from your models, they don't need to be all painted.
I am going to bring along the two armies from the Open Fire box lists.
I will play with the same two armies over the next few weeks at the 800 point level.
That way I don't have to rework my points every week.
I can keep the same miniatures in the bag and bring them along on the game days.
Since I will bring two armies I will have an extra army for someone to use until they have their own miniatures.
I will play the first game with my Germans against Greg at one o'clock on my terrain if that is okay with you.
Lets try to play a two hour game.
Wayne and Mike or Wayne and Denny can play a game using the store terrain at the same time.
You guys can work out the details (armies, battlefield, point level) of that matchup.
At three o'clock we can play a second battle with different opponents.
Greg against Wayne or Mike or Denny: me against somebody.
That way we can play two league games on that day and be done and out of the store by five o'clock.
We can post the results of our games to this Forum.
