NEW YORK, N.Y.—Tim Murphy, the Thomas Stephenson Family head Coach for Harvard Football, became the school's all-time winningest football coach as his Crimson cruised past Columbia, 35-21, Saturday at Lawrence Wien Stadium. Murphy surpassed Joe Restic's mark of 117 career wins and heads into the Penn game with an all-time record of 118-58 in his 18th season with the program.
Harvard won its seventh-straight in moving to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the Ivy League. Columbia remains winless at 0-8, 0-5 Ivy.
The win also marks Harvard's 11th-straight season compiling at least seven wins. The Crimson is the only team in the history of the Ivy League to have put together 11 straight seven-win seasons.
Columbia scored on its first drive of the day, aided by a pass that hit the ground but was ruled complete on third-and-long. Spurred by that play and an interference call in the end zone and, after chewing up over eight minutes, Griffin Lowry broke a tackle and powered into the end zone for an early 7-0 lead at 6:53 of the first quarter.
On its first drive, Harvard answered with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Collier Winters to Kyle Juszczyk to cap a 76-yard drive made longer by four false start penalties, including three straight.
Harvard had little trouble moving the ball in the first half but penalties and turnovers kept the game close. The Crimson's second turnover of the opening half proved costly as Ross Morand stepped in front of a third-and-one pass on Columbia's 13 yard line and returned it for a touchdown and a 14-7 lead just over five minutes into the second quarter.
Harvard answered again however, driving the length of the field with Treavor Scales cruising into the end zone on a 5-yard run with five minutes left in the opening half as the teams went into the locker rooms tied at 14.
After a sloppy first half, Harvard took its first lead midway through the third quarter and a trio of impressive scoring drives allowed the Crimson to take command of the game. Brian Owusu set the Crimson up as he read Columbia Sean Bracket and jumped a pass route, intercepting a ball at the Lions' 35 and returning it to the 24. Four plays later, Winters snuck in from one-yard out for a 21-14 lead at 8:34 of the third.
After forcing a Columbia punt, Harvard struck again quickly when Chris Lorditch hauled in a back-shoulder pass along Columbia's sideline, side-stepped two defenders and dove into the end zone for a 28-14 lead. The two Harvard touchdowns came just 2:34 apart from each other.
Another special individual effort gave Harvard a 35-14 lead early in the fourth. Juszczyk pulled down a pass on an out-pattern on third-and-long, stiff-armed a Lions' defender, broke a tackle and dove into the end zone from 41 yards out.
Columbia QB Sean Brackett kept the game within reach for the Lions, scrambling as he did all day, this time from 19 yards out to make it a 35-21 game with 9:31 left. The Crimson defense held strong down the stretch, sealing the 35-21 victory with a four-down stand with just under three minutes to play in the game.
Winters finished the game 20-of-30 for 323 yards and a trio of touchdowns, and added another one on the ground. Lorditch (four catches, 123 yards) and Juszczyk (seven catches, 118 yards) both topped the 100-receiving yards mark, while Juszczyk's pair of touchdown receptions moved him into a tie for the team lead with six on the season. Scales totaled 73 yards on the ground and notched his fifth rushing touchdown of the season in the win.
Harvard returns home for its next game, where it will put its perfect Ivy record on the line against Penn Saturday in a noon matchup. Penn enters the game tied for second with Brown in the Ancient Eight standings.

The old Gregory Downs Hotel holds court as the centre of town society. Originally built to serve passengers on the coach run from Burketown, the hotel is in the historic village of Gregory Downs which accesses the perennially-flowing Gregory River.
At one time it was a Mounted Police post. In World War II, officers at this station won fame when they searched with Doomadgee Aboriginal trackers for the crew of the ditched plane Little Eva. The crew flew out of Iron Range Airport for a bombing run to then-New Guinea and they became disoriented in a tropical storm.
Gregory Downs Station was one of the first cattle runs in the Gulf Savannah. It was one of a range of properties established on Lort Stokes' Plains of Promise, a vast monsoonal savannah stretching from Gregory to the Leichhardt Rivers.
The peaceful waters of The Gregory remain a natural attraction. Here you can canoe year-round the site hosts thousands for the annual May Labour Day weekend canoe race.
While camping has traditionally been in the riverbed, public hygiene has prompted discussions to move away from the river's edge. Rent a canoe or time your visit to coincide with Gregory's racing and rodeo calendar. The Gregory Ball is a not-to-be missed social event.
It may take a while to get here, but you will be guaranteed a load of fun.

Just signed up today, I was googling and I think I found a great site. I've been a Reds fan since 1980.
Not really "new" here, but I have read the forum since its inception in 1999 and remember well all the vitriol on the cincinnati.com forum when the Griffey trade rumors were so intense. Hard to believe that was 12 years ago. I used to post (here and on cincinnati.com) under the moniker of Wade Rowdon, but my login information for that account has been lost for many years. The recent trades have me thinking that this is the best Reds team we've seen in many years, and so I thought this an opportune time to rejoin as a poster. Looking forward to it!
"It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." - A. Bartlett Giamatti
Welcome back Wade.
I remember reading your posts years ago.
I run two storefronts now, one being Los Rios Group which I guess is pretty well known. Im not to happy with its level of quality right now and i need to update the writeups. My other is Gemballa Avionic Development, its a brand new store and at the moment offers four products. I will expand it but slowly, as it takes time to get the high level of quality I would like in my products
Id also like some help designing some of my new products for the second store.
I'm new to the site, joined yesterday. I'll be 30 this year and I grew up about 60 miles east of Cincinnati and have been a Reds fan most of my life. I still have a bit of family around the Cincinnati area but I live in Los Angeles. I married into a closet Reds family as my late father in law had a signed Pete Rose bat and ball I didn't know about until after his passing (currently hanging on the wall in my office next to a 1978 Big Red Machine pennant a co-worker gave to me when he found out I was a Reds fan).
I follow the team as much as I can and watch every game I can via MLB.tv. Looking forward to seeing the Reds play the Dodgers and the Padres when they make the journey west.
Welcome to the site. Although you're not near Cincinnati, consider yourself lucky that you're near Dodger Stadium. I love it there.

Yeah, my wife and her family are big Dodger fans (my father-in-law was really an all around baseball fan and remembered hating the Reds being a Dodger fan in the 70's but still had respect for the team).
Dodger Stadium is pretty cool, but I'd take GABP anyday. :-)
Just joined and this is my first post.
I am a born and raised Cincinnatian from the Mt. Washington area. Life-long Reds fan. Thanks for having me, and GO REDS!
Joined today and this is my first post. From around Louisville, Ky area and have been a Reds fan as long as I can remember. I currently live in Clarksville, TN and catch all the games on Fox Sports.
Jimmy Hendrix and Little Richard! Welcome!

Hi. I was searching for a site like this, and this one seems to be very well-run, clean, and respectful. Thank you for that! I actually am not a Reds fan; I'm a Pirates fan. But, I have a lot of respect for the Reds. Mostly, I was curious what fans of other teams were saying about the Pirates this year. I found a couple of threads where some of your board members posted some things about the Pirates, and I was surprised at how favorably you view them. I'm cautiously optomistic about them, personally. But, more than that, I was really surprised by how well some of you knew the Pirates system. I'd say that the posts that I read knew more about the Pirates minor leagues than most casual Bucs fans I know (not many, as I live in Iowa).
Anyway, I'm hoping to casually visit this board and get a read on what's going on in the Reds neck of the woods. I'm thrilled to be in a pennant race with you all, and I wish your team the best of luck the rest of the year. The second half should be a lot of fun!
I've read the site for years. I figured it was about time to get in on all the fun.

A state Senate education panel is to discuss sweeping legislation to expand charter schools in Texas.
State Sen. Dan Patrick filed Senate Bill 2 was filed this week, and the Senate Education Committee the Houston Republican chairs will review it Thursday.
The measure would lift the current limit of 215 licenses to operate charter schools statewide and create a special oversight board. It also would allow charter schools to receive public money for facilities expenses, not just for operations as under present state law.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Charter schools already educate about 135,000 of the 5 million-plus Texas public school students. Patrick has made increasing "school choice" a signature issue, though traditional school leaders are wary.
Past efforts to overhaul Texas charter school laws have fizzled, not drawing much support from either party.

Katy Perry On Her Relationship With Rihanna: "My Days Of Celebrity Saving Are Over"
It's no secret that the once-blossoming relationship between Katy Perry and Rihanna has taken a turn for the worse. Towards the end of last year, rumors began circulating that the two had a falling out over Rih Rih's reunion with Chris Brown. While this has never fully been confirmed or denied, Perry recently spoke to Elle UK about her fellow pop star and she admits that their friendship is definitely not what it used to be.
"I love her [Rihanna] and every time I see her, I'm reminded of the light that she has," Perry expressed.
"There's a lot of dark in this business. I know a lot of people out there with the most detrimental entourages – they are the root of their demise," she continued.
It's unclear whether or not Perry is hinting that Rih Rih is one of those celebrities with a "detrimental entourage," but it certainly appears that way. She concluded by saying that she's done trying to save celebrities from themselves.
"It's really unfortunate but you can't save these people. My days of celebrity saving are over."
We suspect Rih Rih will be retaliating via subliminal Instagram and Twitter messages in 5,4,3,2…

Since he's long been committed to the University of Florida, this
weekend's official visit for Steven Wilks was reaffirmation that he's
made the right choice. The Lakeland safety, one of six Dreadnaughts
committed to the Gators, thought the weekend on the Florida campus was
everything he could have possibly dreamed it would be.
"Awesome," said Wilks while traveling home to Lakeland. "This was a visit like none other. I don't think you could go any other place in the country and feel like you do at the University of Florida. I don't think there is another school that can offer you so much. The visit was perfect."
Wilks, who measured at 6-2 and 203 pounds Saturday morning, had a great career as a safety for Lakeland's three-time state and two-time national champs but he will be shifting to linebacker at Florida. Known as a hard hitter and a clutch time playmaker, Wilks thought one of the best parts of the visit was the time he spent with strength and conditioning coaches Mickey Marotti and Matt Balis.
"They're probably the best strength coaches in the country," said Wilks, who said they want him to put on another 20-25 pounds of muscle. "I'm going to keep gaining weight by doing what they want me to do."
Wilks was down to 190 pounds when Lakeland beat St. Thomas Aquinas in the state championship game, capping a third straight 15-0 season for the Dreadnaughts. He played that game with a severe shoulder injury, a pinched nerve in his neck and on one of the first plays of the game, had his toe stomped.
"They almost had to take the toenail off on the sidelines," he said. "I never played a whole game in so much pain but the shoulder and the pinched nerve hurt so bad that I really didn't notice my toe so much. All I know is they weren't going to get me off the field."
Wilks, who forced and recovered a fumble that led to a Lakeland touchdown in that game, has gained 13 pounds back.
"I can use my shoulder again and I'm back in the weight room," he said. "It was really killing me that I couldn't get in there."
His hosts for the weekend at Florida were Maurkice Pouncey and Michael Pouncey, teammates from Lakeland. The Pounceys enrolled at UF just a couple of weeks ago along with Lakeland teammates Ahmad Black and Paul Wilson.
"They love it here," said Wilks. "They said they can't imagine that they could go anywhere else because everything is first class at Florida. They love going to class and all the other stuff and they said they can't wait for mat drills to start in February.
"They're suite mates with Ahmad (Black) and Paul (Wilson). Chris (Rainey) and I can't wait to get up here, too."
Saturday afternoon, Wilks and all the recruits took in Florida's number one ranked basketball team beating Ole Miss, 79-70, at the O'Connell Center. Watching the Gators was fun, but what really caught Wilks' attention was the Rowdy Reptiles, Florida's wacky student section.
"The student section is so cool," Wilks said. "They're crazy and they don't stop the whole game. It's really a great atmosphere for basketball."
Saturday night's dinner was at Coach Urban Meyer's home where the menu included three kinds of steak, barbeque ribs and more food than Wilks could imagine.
"My eyes got bigger than my stomach," he said. "I couldn't eat everything … and then I got to hang around with Coach Meyer. He's unreal. He's everything that a coach should be. I don't know how he remembers everybody's name but he goes from one person to another and he knows everything about them. He's doing all this, eating and recruiting, too. I've never seen a better multi-tasker than that."
He was out with a group of players that included redshirt freshman Chevon Walker Friday night and Saturday night, he was in a large group that included Tim Tebow along with fellow recruits John Brantley (Ocala Trinity Catholic), James Wilson (Ponte Vedra Beach Nease), Chris Rainey (Lakeland), Justin Trattou (Ramsey, New Jersey) and Ahmad Paige (Sterlington, Louisiana).
"We all hung around and had a good time," he said. "I think Gainesville is the perfect college town. I think our recruiting class is going to be awesome."
The visit concluded Sunday morning with time in the offices of Coach Meyer and co-defensive coordinator Charlie Strong, who will be Wilks' position coach. "You see why Florida does so good when you talk to them," Wilks said. "Coach Meyer is probably the best role model you could ask for and Coach Strong … what a good man and he's a great coach. I know I'm in good hands at Florida."

The most iconic images of Hollywood in the minds of people around the world aren't always that sign on the other side of the hill or Mann's Chinese Theatre. The rounded soundstage roofs of Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank are just as evocative an image. These simple but imposing studio grounds have engaged show business imaginations as a birthplace of movie magic for nearly 100 years.
The nostalgia-fueled new book "Early Warner Bros. Studios" by E.J. Stephens and Marc Wanamaker uses more than 200 vintage photographs to give solid historical context to the rolling grounds south of the 134 freeway we're so familiar with today. It's so beloved a location that some people even call it home. Clint Eastwood has had his office for Malpaso Productions on the actual lot for decades.
The "Images of America" series celebrates historic places across the country with exquisitely reproduced archival pictures that tend to evoke a strong emotional response in the reader. Each image in the recently published "Early Warner Bros. Studios" is accompanied by richly detailed captions that answer simple questions but sometimes raise more complex ones.
Many of the photographs concentrate on the Warner family legacy during the first half of the 20th century, when timeless classics like "Casablanca" and "East of Eden" were produced. The rest of this volume traces the rich history behind the scenes at the famous studio from its early homes in Hollywood through its ever-expanding lot near Barham Boulevard and Olive Avenue.
We see the marriage of sound and film in "The Jazz Singer" as well as the birth of "Looney Tunes" and "Merry Melodies" cartoons at the Termite Terrace. Well, we hear about the "laugh factory" that came up with Daffy, Tweety and the like, but evidence is sparse on this particular subject only.
Instead, we get the prickly family history of the actual Warner brothers on full embarrassing display. Jack Warner hated oldest brother Harry. Sam Warner suffered an untimely death. Unfortunately, Sam's passing happened before he could witness the fruits of his labor to bring "talkies" to the masses.
Split into four sections, the first is by far the most lengthy and fascinating, especially if you're obsessed with Southern California history. The most captivating images highlight how incredibly fast the geography can change when a studio becomes successful. Warner's original lot at Sunset and Bronson in Hollywood started with a single barn in 1922. By 1924 the entire block was filled with stages and departments. By 1928, Warner Bros. was becoming so huge they purchased a controlling interest in First National Studios and immediately started using the company's brand new soundstages in Burbank.
The expansion was just as rapid in their new home. Part Two of the book looks at Burbank in the 1930s, when gangster films ruled the day. Candid pictures of James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson give way to more glamorous faces like Clark Gable. For a film Gable did with Marion Davies, Warner Bros. literally "raised the roof" of Stage 7 an additional 35 feet to film intricate dance numbers.
Smaller sections at the end of the book follow the studio through the emergence of television in the 1950s. The selection of pictures is smaller, but the facts behind them are just as fascinating.
But overload sets in. Stories of fires, strikes, streets morphing and connecting all bleed together with little more than a headline mentioning each of these developments. Alluring pictures and anecdotes of Bette Davis, James Dean, Bugs Bunny, "Blazing Saddles," Al Jolson, and the school where the kids from "The Waltons" went every day gradually melt together into a long, hazy tribute to an endearing studio.
Which brings me to the book's main flaw. Without a ton of context to the photographs, you end up yearning a bit too much for additional information. So as much as I treasured this book, I'll still rely on my own favorite memories of the place when I want to know for sure what really happened.
Like, true story, when I had just arrived one day on the Warner lot for an audition, and George Clooney himself rode up on a golf cart. He was giving some friends a tour, but as far as I was concerned, he was there to greet me. This is where reality drifts to fantasy in my memory.
"Hey, Mr. Petrillo," I imagined him saying that day. "Welcome back. Good to see you, buddy. This is where all the magic happens."
It's a fantastic image, but there's no facts to back up the story. But I guess any book that pays homage with such adoration to Hollywood's most recognizable studio makes for a welcome sight. "Early Warner Bros. Studios" is a treasure trove of such reverence.

I'm glad you have mentioned some of these things Magnus, I was thinking of doing so, but I can't recall them as clearly as you do.heart wrote:The earliest text that we have on Mahayoga doesn't mention any tsa-lung practices. Neither the Guhyagarbha nor texts like "Dorje sempa zhulan" mention it. On the other hand these are the oldest text we have that mention Dzogchen. However many terma teachings that are called Mahayoga have tsa-lung. So for this reason everyone are quite correct.
I am reading Dalton's Anuyoga dissertation and it is quite interesting as well as easy to read. In anuyoga it seems the inner tantras are always treated together, which makes sense to me. Also it seems that the whole idea of the nine yanas comes from anuyoga, or rather the dupa do. I would really like to see some original anuyoga sadhanas and after reading about early mahayoga I would really like to see those also. That is one problem with scholars, they don't understand practical application.
It seems that if one is really wanting to look at the original anuyoga sadhanas you should target the Tsog chen dupa`i (Great assembly main empowerment). [Great assembly is the name of fundamental sadhana of the anuyoga root tantra Gongpa dupa, whose elaborate initiation is this Root empowerment to the Nine vehicles]. as mentioned in this list you pointed out http://nyingma-kater.blogspot.com.au/. This is an annual drupchen at many gompas.

Photographer's Note
This photograph is taken in the city of Echizen-Ōno in Fukui Prefecture in February of three years ago.
Physiographically, this is a basin and becomes a heavy snowfall area in winter. I got down from the station, and was walking along the alley in the city, I met with the spectacle which is shoveling away the snow from the rooftop in the private house. Snow was piling up on the roof deeply. The person in character with the grandfather of this house and two small girls in character with two grandchildren were reaching on the roof. The grandfather had taken down the snow lying with the shovel hard in order to remove snowy pressure. By its side, two girls were playing with snow happily. Somehow, it was an agreeable spectacle. They are serious since people who live in the snowy region have to do snow removal from the rooftop of a house, and snow removal of a road in a daily life.

Hello Mikio,
This is a beautiful and delightful photo. This reminds me of winters long ago when I was a child and lived in the countryside. The children and their grandfather bring colours and life to the photo. It is perfectly exposed and has a great clarity and very good contrasts.
Kind regards,

What a pile of snow to shovel, Mikio.
Childern in colorful heavy coats in great contrast to the white frozen surrounding, while the older man try to make his way over.
Fine taken the moment. Good clarity.

Hi Mikio
That's bitter cold snow-laden capture, vividness of colours and detail is extremely outstanding! I can almost hear the crunch of snow underfoot with all the important elements are neatly placed with grandpa leads by example! This is the only way I love to see and admire snow, in one of your beautifully composed and captured images! Congrats
Best regard

The Scanning Electron Microscope at Noisebridge.
- "TV Mini-SEM (R)" by ISI (International Scientific Instruments)
- lives in the "science ghetto" on the west end of the south wall at 2169.
- is tended by Mike Kan and the rest of the SEM mailing list
- If you release the vacuum without venting the pump hose, pump oil will flood the chamber and contaminate the entire mechanism, requiring 10 hours of cleanup.
- If you vent air into the column without powering down the filament, you'll probably destroy the filament ($100).
Startup procedures
- Get the power cord from Mike.
- See PDFs on vacuum start up and operators manual linked below.
Todo list
Short Term:
- Isolate vibration from external sources; buses, people, etc. (2010-12-12)
- Create/obtain specimen stage clamp or spring to prevent specimen vibration. (2010-12-12)
- Obtain some sputter coated specimens. (2010-12-12)
Long Term:
- Column liner needs to be replaced. Larry may be able to provide a clean liner. (2010-06-15) (update: Larry has taken column liner to his lab for cleaning)
- Build digital capture stage to replace CRT mechanism (2010-06-15)
- Replace 8.4" slow scan CRT with slow scan XGA LCD? (see above)
- Build sputter coater for specimen preparation (2010-06-15)
- Test repair of X Stigmator circuit. Replaced 741 op amp. (completed, work began 2010-11-20, tested 2010-12-10)
- Adjust vertical overscan of CRT (completed 2010-12-12, including hack sawing access port to overscan potentiometers in the CRT module)
- Fix 2x magnification toggle switch (2010-12-12)
- Diagnose and repair barrel distortion and occlusion at low magnification (2010-12-12)
- Sew dust cover (2010-12-12)
- Rubber grommet around edge of CRT potentiometer port needed
Repair and Enhancement Notes
- Before repair, disable pumps and high voltage then put it into operation mode by placing a magnet on the operation relay.

Unfortunately, it's been long enough now that the series may no longer be relevant to get a straight sequel (just look at what happened with Duke Nukem Forever). The best solution? An HD collection of the first three games that could happen with your support.
oh man, me and my buddy played Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect on the Gamecube. I used to love the coop from those games back in the day.
I would love to see an HD collection on the Wii U. I would buy it for sure.
well if they are only gonna do it only if there are a certain amount of signatures than im sure it will be some cheap cash in and not worth the name timesplitters. We need someone who actually cares about making a good game first before thinking about the money if the game is gonna be good for a timesplitters game
Sorry, but I need more than "get me 300,000 signatures, and I'll ask them if they're interested." And if people are still talking about it now, why would they not think there's a demand for it?

Timisoara hosts a well established Italian business community. Since they frequently commute between Italy and Romania, many Italians are not registered in Romania, making it difficult to determine how many of them actually live in the city. Italian can be frequently heard in Timisoara's streets, restaurants and cafés, and the local airport offers flights to 10 Italian destinations: Rome, Milan, Venice, Ancona, Bari, Florence, Bologna, Turin, Verona and Bergamo.
Antonia Passarelli was among the first Italians to arrive in Timisoara in 1990. Back in 1982, having become bored with his job (had been a successful cook for 15 years), Antonio started helping Italians set up textile businesses in unusual places like Togo, Pakistan, Cuba and the Seychelles. And, after twenty other countries, Romania.
It was in Timisoara where Antonio began getting tired of setting up businesses for other people on a contract basis. Besides working as a consultant for Italian textile businesses, Antonio opened an Italian restaurant called "Pozzo dei Desideri" (The wishing well). First it was more for fun, but – after business picked up – it became a serious venture. As Antonio now says:
"Timisoara is a city in which various cultures cook together; it is a cosmopolitan city. It has a lot going for it, which is why I fell in love with it."
So Antonio stayed. And many other Italians came. According to Antonio, the "adventurers" of the very early days and those that came primarily because of women left again relatively quickly.
In 1992 the bigger Italian firms came in. By late 2007 more than 2,600 companies owned or co-owned by Italians were registered in Timis County. Antonio now runs the "Al Duomo" restaurant in Timisoara and a catering business, serving about 25,000 dishes daily, supplying mainly businesses. He also gives cooking courses – and does consulting work – in Bucharest. He stars as a chef in Danutz S.R.L., a 3.5 hour show, and sings on primetime TV.
"Antonio the Italian" has become something of public figure in Romania.
"They stop me in the streets to tell me about their problems, they don't let me pay at the fruit market, and I use these opportunities to promote Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, and to teach Romanians to eat well and healthy."
In 2007 Antonio Passarelli was elected Vice-president of the "Romanian Chefs Society"; he has even received Romanian citizenship. He is upset that the debate on Romanian Roma immigrants in Italy has been blown out of proportion by an irresponsible media. Passarelli remembers being a kid in Austria. It was the Italians themselves, back then, who had a negative reputation. "This must stop," he insists.

Physiology & Life cycleEdit
The Doxy is covered in coarse black hair, and has an additional set of arms and legs. Doxys have shiny beetle-like wings, and a double row of sharp venomous teeth. If bitten, a wizard or witch should take an antidote immediately. Doxys bury their eggs underground, and can lay up to five hundred at once. The eggs generally hatch in two to three weeks.
Preferring cold climates, the Doxy is found throughout Europe and North America.
Interaction with humansEdit
Doxys are considered pests. They can infest houses, taking up residence in the draperies. Removing them requires a good supply of Doxycide. Cormac McLaggen was also known for eating a pound of Doxy eggs for a bet, making him unable to try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in his 6th year.
Fred and George Weasley used Doxy venom for their Skiving Snackboxes, sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Harold Dingle used Doxy droppings to pretend it was powdered Dragon claw to sell to fifth years, but was confiscated by Hermione Granger.
Doxy is an archaic English term, meaning "prostitute". It derives from the Dutch word docke, meaning "doll".

Yarrow Flowering Tops
Veterinarian Reviewed on January 10, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Yarrow Flowering Tops (Achillea millefolium)
The Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) plant is native to the Northern Hemisphere especially in the states of New Mexico and Colorado. Here it is called 'plumajillo' which means 'little feather'. It may also be known as the common yarrow, nosebleed plant, old man's pepper, soldier's woundwort and thousand-seal
The Yarrow is a perennial plant with small leaves equally distributed along the plant's stem. The leaves have a distinct "hairiness". The flowers of the Yarrow vary from white to pink which may be in clusters of 3 to 8 small ovate flowers.
The Yarrow flowers from May to June each year and is very common in beautiful and well maintained gardens. It is very resistant to drought which is why it is commonly planted in gardens and landscapes in the arid regions of Colorado and New Mexico
History and Origin
The Yarrow flowering tops have a very colorful history dating back to the Middle Ages. The name Yarrow is from an Old English word 'gearwe', which is a combination of a Dutch word 'gerw' and a German Word 'garawa'. There were several attributions of the Yarrow flowering tops to witchcraft and folklore; it was believed that the Yarrow can be used in love spells and to drive away evil spirits.
Ancient Uses
The Yarrow flowering tops was used in magic and was also believed to have magical powers on its own. Drinking tea made of Yarrow flowering tops ensures a bride a lasting married life. It was used as a decoration for weddings to give the bride and groom a lasting married life for at least seven years. It was also used to drive away evil spirits and demons away.
Modern Uses
The flowers and the leaves of the Yarrow are the most commonly used for medicinal purposes. The Yarrow flowering tops has been known to contain astringent properties. It is also used for its anti inflammatory properties which is beneficial in the treatment of hemorrhoids and rheumatism.
The herb is also known to have stimulant effects which can become central nervous system stimulants known as snuff. It has positive effects to cure the common cold and flu. Yarrow flowering tops have also been used to treat infections and diseases of the circulatory system like hypertension, digestive system like stomach pains and indigestion and also for the excretory system.
The cure of some allergies is also possible with the Yarrow flowering tops. The flowers of the Yarrow have allergic compounds; extracts from the flowers can be used to cure allergies, mucus problems and other pulmonary system disorders.
Side Effects
Yarrow flowering tops is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women. There is also no research or clinical trial yet on the effectiveness of the Yarrow to children under the age of 2 years. An allergy test should be done before administering Yarrow flowering tops supplements since some people may experience an allergic reaction from this herb like skin rashes and increased sensitivity to light. There have been studies in the effect of the use of Yarrow flowering tops in the sperm production of rats but no subsequent studies in humans were conducted. If you want to use Yarrow flowering tops supplements for your illness, it is best to consult your doctor regarding the dosage and adverse reactions with the medicines you are currently taking.

No pressure Jennifer Lawrence
Lupita Nyong'o is now the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actress Oscar. And she's playing the pole position perfectly. Which means Jennifer Lawrence's chances are pretty sh-t and, unlike, say, someone like Jonah Hill, she doesn't seem to mind. In fact, it actually seems like she's happy the pressure is off her. Like she's aware of the threat of backlash – too much winning too young, too perfect, too awesome – and understands that it's time to retreat…if they would let her.
Or maybe you see that as just another form of campaigning? Hey, it's your buffet. You pick your gossip entrée. So here she is making all her faces and hanging out with Lupita at the SAGs the other night (in a much better Dior). I see it as JLaw being friendly and non-competitive. Some of you who are starting to turn on her will see it as her trying to front like she's gracious because she knows everyone's watching. Thing is…she's never given us a reason to think she's a meangirl, you know?

SolidWorks Composer User Group Meeting
The third meeting of Minnesota SolidWorks Composer User Group, formerly known as the Minnesota 3DVIA Composer User Group, was held on 3/6/13 at the Mounds View Community Center in Mounds View, MN just north of Minneapolis. The meeting opened with coffee and refreshments followed by introductions. I counted 15 in attendance with backgrounds ranging from engineering to sales to technical publications with titles ranging from managers to designers. There were at least 4 in attendance (including myself) who do not yet use Composer in their work (but want to). Chris Narveson, UG president, reminded the group of its purpose and charter. He discussed the move to four 1/2 day meetings per year and made an appeal for volunteer officers, presenters and meeting hosts.
Jason of Symmetry Solutions (SolidWorks VAR) began the presentations with the announcement of a rebranding of 3DVia Composer to SolidWorks Composer, bringing the product more in line with its target audience. The same license manager used by SolidWorks will eventually replace the cumbersome Composer licensing. Jason gave an overview of Composer's uses, applications and capabilities. SolidWorks Composer is intended to be the bridge between Engineering and Technical Publications/Marketing as it extends the use of 3D CAD data beyond Engineering. He showed examples of its ability to produce marketing materials, printed materials, interactive instructions, web content and animations. The latest version (SolidWorks Composer 2013r2) has content loaded into its familiar Model Browser and Image Library tools. A library of 3D objects like a posable hand and typical hand tools (screw driver, wrench, etc.) can be quickly added to a project. The Image Library now has a whole set of standard icon images to save time in content authoring.
Jason then spent some time showing basic content authoring details. He demonstrated how Views can control every property in a scene (camera, material appearance, actor position, etc.) or any combination of properties. He showed how the Select Instances tool can quickly select all of the same part for modification. He showed that Styles work better than in previous releases and they can be written to a file, making them sharable. Styles can be applied once or "subscribed to" which makes the properties update automatically when the Style is changed.
Jason then gave a presentation about basic animation authoring. He suggested that a good workflow would progress from actor movements to camera movements to property adjustments to annotation text. He elaborated on an order of operation for actor movement that included picking an actor, setting its start location key frame, moving the actor and then setting its end key. He emphasized that the key frames only control what has changed from one key to the next so care should be taken to modify properties accordingly. For making interactive animation controls, Jason demonstrated new tools found in Author – Image2D such as a play button that has the necessary control code built-in.
Jason took a number of questions which led to more Composer capability demonstrations. A discussion about environments caused him to show background images, ground properties and 3D images (for walls that move dynamically behind the actors). He also showed how to load an image as a texture on an actor. Finally a question was raised about how Composer opens the video view by default if it exists or it opens the top view in the file, both of which can be annoying to the user.
Steve from MTS began a discussion about file management. He showed some video footage of MTS's Finder tool that manages PDF files. Matt from MTS explained how they embed Composer files into their PDF drawings. The PDF drawing shows limited dimensions while the Composer file contains an interactive BOM. MTS has created a custom implementation which takes meta data from their SAP MRP tool and builds it into the tool tip text in a Composer file. Their assembly teams use those files to more clearly understand the complex, 1-off machinery they are building. There currently does not exist a tool for checking items off a BOM list in Composer Player which makes the use of a printed BOM a necessity. MTS has found that for their complex assemblies, a workstation class computer is required, even for the light-weight Composer files. Mike and Matt discussed challenges with file management and revision control. Composer files are not directly linked to CAD files in the same way as typical SolidWorks files so updates are more manual. Rules are needed and discipline required to keep everything current. Mike also mentioned the importance of keeping coordinate system consistency in the design process to enable consistent updates to the Composer files. He finished with an excellent quote, "Are you guys totally yawn-fest with this?" which we were not.
Chris wrapped up the meeting with some sample training videos from his work at CSI. He announced the next meeting as Thursday, May 30 and requested ideas for topics. Chris reminded us (as every good User Group Leader should) to look at the SolidWorks Forums, to consider attending the SWUGN Summit on August 20th and SolidWorks World 2014 in San Diego.
Southern Minnesota SolidWorks User Group Feb Meeting
I'm a note taker and thought I'd share what I gathered this last meeting 02/19/2013.
Richard Doyle, the User Community Manager (his title is really long but I didn't write it down) for SolidWorks gave a presentation about little known features of SolidWorks 2013. Some highlights of interest included:
- A user can now install both SolidWorks 2012 and 2013 on the same workstation. Double-clicking a file causes the system to prompt the user for which version of SolidWorks to open.
- The file interaction dialog boxes (Open, Save, Insert, etc.) have been enhanced with some quick filter buttons that make selecting SolidWorks files more easily. The buttons are sticky and persistent. In addition, there is a Top Level Assembly button which looks at file references and filters out any assembly which is not referenced by others.
- Customization of the Shortcut toolbar (activated by the "s" key) has become more user friendly.
- The SolidWorks RX tool now runs with SolidWorks open and can be used for more than just troubleshooting and reporting system problems. The benchmark tools seemed most helpful to track and compare system performance against other users.
- It is now possible to replace a part in an assembly with a different part of the same name. This feature is highly specialized in its application but may be useful on occasion.
- It is now possible to select an entire subassembly in an assembly. In the past, selecting a part has ignored any related subassemblies and only selected the single part.
- Baseline dimensions in drawings can be edited, adding more points to their definition without starting over.
- It is now possible to replace a drawing view with a simple sketch, thus removing all associatively to the parent part/assembly.
- Revision clouds can now be added to drawings. While we would probably never use them on the face of a released drawing, they can be helpful to identify areas in need of change or review during the design/revision process.
- A thin feature can now be made from a sketch with multiple contours. In the past, multiple thin features needed to be created to achieve the same result.
- Any feature with an end condition (extrude, cut, sweep, etc.) now has right-click menu choices to speed selection of the end condition.
- The user can now assign sounds to key SolidWorks functions. I would find it very useful to be alerted when a rendering is complete as I do work on a second computer while waiting for the rendering of an image on the first.
- It is now possible to permanently break all external references to other files and remove any broken reference symbols. Richard warned against using this as a standard practice because it yields under-defined geometry in your design.
- The measure tool now saves history and remembers key preferences (like canter-to-center or minimum distance).
- It is now possible to zoom and pan while editing text (including the Revision Block). This is helpful when the user desires to reference a dimension value somewhere on the drawing in a note.
- It is now possible to flatten out the feature tree to show sketches that would normally be hidden within features as they are consumed.
- The view selector tool (activated by the spacebar) now has a 3D interface allowing the user to select a back view or alternate corner iso views with a single click. This feature has been available in Inventor for many releases and is a welcome addition to navigating SolidWorks. In addition, saved views can be saved globally for use in other parts/assemblies. This will be a time-saver for users who need to create consistent viewpoints for drawings or renderings.
- The Photoview 360 rendering tool has been enhanced with numerous new appearances to aid in producing more useful rendered images.
In addition to comments related directly to SolidWorks 2013, Richard mentioned some other noteworthy items:
- Dessault has changed the name of its 3DVIA Composer product calling it SolidWorks Composer.
- There are 223 User Groups worldwide.
- The SolidWorks Part Reviewer is an Add-In available in SW2012 that provides an animated walk-through of a part file. It steps through the feature tree showing sketches, dimensions and features as they were created. If the user applied comments to the features, those comments are displayed. A search in the SolidWorks Forum for "SolidWorks Part Reviewer" results in dozens of sample part files that can be a very helpful training tool. Internally, a company could establish standard modeling practices, make a sample model employing those practices augmented with comments and make use of SolidWorks Part Reviewer as a training tool.
- Consider using Netvibes (now owned by Dessault) as a Blog aggregator tool to keep track of Blogs and other things (nice dashboard interface).
- Rapid Sheet Metal has made available an Add-In for SolidWorks that will provide instant price quoting. Some of our users have purchased parts from Rapid Sheet Metal in the past and may find this useful.
- On August 20, 2013 there will be another SWUGN Summit held in the Twin Cities. This event provides a full day of technical training with multiple break-out sessions for $40. Users have attended this event in the past and have benefited from the low-cost training.
- The eDrawings App for iDevices has been updated to add a feature called Augmented Reality. The user can snap a photo with the device camera and then place a SolidWorks 3D model in correct scale context with the photo.
- Richard made a special point to encourage users to spend time on the SolidWorks Forum website as there is an active community out there, ready to help and share knowledge. He also reminded us to make enhancement requests and report bugs to our VAR as often as possible as each report/request is a vote for priority attention by the developers.
Branding the Ball – Redefining the Logo
Have you ever created something that you thought was a very swell idea but then, when you stepped back to take a look, your eventual reaction was, "What have I done?" Or maybe you're oblivious, like me, and it takes the discerning eye of someone else to open yours. Well, this happened to me awhile back.
First, an aside. I attended a manufacturing trade show some time ago. I came across a plastics company that was giving away books. Most companies give away a squishy ball with their name on it or a pen with a sample of the product they sell glued to the end or a pocket protector with their logo on it.
I'm a sucker for free stuff at shows because it makes me feel like Santa Claus when I get home after the show with a bag of candy bars, engraved pens and interesting product samples to present to my kids. Not only did American Plastic Molding Corp replace their product sample give-away with a free book (an unique offering in itself), but it was a book called, "Our Toilets are Not for Customers".
Good book; full of anecdotal stories about customer service; written by the owner of AMPC, Floyd Coates. The book worked better than any squishy ball or candy bar ever could because it gave me a glimpse of what the owner stood for and his company's values. I did some business with APMC because of that book and I recommend them for plastic injection molding. But that's not the point of this aside. After reading Floyd's book, I got excited about publishing my own book ("How to Make a BoogerBall, a Story about Life, Product Development and Keeping Your Nose Clean). I got so excited, I decided to contact the author to seek his advice about getting published. True to the image of the customer oriented man I read about in his book, Mr. Coates called me back. I was so overjoyed to talk to him that I took his call on my cell phone in a dressing room in Bloomingdales at the Mall of America and I took copious notes on a piece of cardboard that comes inside a dress shirt (found on the floor). He gave me lots of good advice including the name of his printing company, but it was after I directed him to BoogerBall.com and he (and his wife, Anne) read the story that my eyes were opened (finally the point of this lengthy aside). Floyd said that he liked the story but his wife had trouble looking at it because the BoogerBall looked too real. "It's really gross."
I never thought of my story as being particularly repulsive. Wacky, funny, ridiculous, but not gross. It's not real. It's just rubber cement. Then I got an email from a guy who took me up on my request to send in a picture. The photo he sent was of a small, smooth, round ball the size of a quarter. It was somewhat green and looked a little gooey. It was a real ball of real boogers. It was so gross to me that I almost hurled on the computer keyboard just looking at it. My eyes are now opened. The BoogerBall idea is fun, wacky, interesting, and very gross – especially if you think even for a second that it could be real.
My goal for this project is to teach people something they don't know, to entertain and to enlighten but not to disgust. While I can't 'not show' the BoogerBall while telling the story of how it's made, I can soften the gag reflex by not using a photo of it in the ubiquitous logo. So this lesson contains various tools and methods for refining our BoogerBall logo. Let's make it less gross, more fun, less realistic and more stylized. It's true that this product is on the fringe of societal appeal (there are only so many 12 year old boys out there), but with a less realistic logo, we might be able to bring it slightly closer to main stream (by not grossing out their mothers).
I used the following techniques to convert a photograph of the BoogerBall into a stylized vector graphic suitable for use as a logo. Each of these methods has its roots in my past. These are tools that I have found useful. This means that you may conversely find them trite, redundant or obsolete and you may also find them useful but they seem to make sense to me.
The first problem is to simplify the photograph into a stylized line drawing. The second problem is to create a digital version of the line drawing. The third task is to create a vector version of the digital drawing. The final step is to complete the logo with color and line weights.
I like to work in the real world as much as possible; pushing pencil and paper instead of pushing electrons. This is why this post was first written out longhand in my notebook. So, I began with a printed copy of the BoogerBall photo. The desire is to have a line drawing with maximum contrast (black lines on white paper) to facilitate the future steps. To accomplish that, I created what can be thought of as poor-man's carbon paper. You see, way back in the olden days, in order to make a duplicate copy of a typed letter, a typist would use a piece of black, chalky "carbon paper" sandwiched between two pieces of paper. Poor-man's carbon paper is a technique we played with in elementary school. You scribble on the back of a piece of paper with a dark pencil or crayon. Turn it over and place it over another piece of paper. Anything drawn on the first page will be, in turn, transferred to the second page. The more shading you do to build up the "carbon", the darker the transferred drawing will be. So, I shaded the back of my photo good and dark and then traced a simplified version of the BoogerBall over the photo.
The traced drawing transferred to a clean piece of paper. The result is a drawing with high contrast and cartoon styling (I made the boogers bigger with a little less detail) that is ready for the next step.
Simple scanning converts the line drawing into a digital image for tracing. You can also use your phone to take a picture of the drawing and email it to yourself. (I can't believe I just wrote that – it's like saying you can also use your elbow to pick your nose – it doesn't seem possible.) Once you get the line drawing back to digital format, you're ready for the next step – vector conversion.
Now, there are a number of ways to trace a line drawing to make a vector version. If you use Adobe Illustrator (AI), you can use the trace tool to do the job. Being an engineer and a CAD guy, I find that I am not as comfortable with the free form artistry of manipulating vectors in AI. I seem to spend extra time trying to make it mathematically perfect which is not always easy to do in Illustrator. Because I have thousands of hours of AutoCAD experience, my favorite technique is to put the image into a 2D CAD program. Draftsight is my latest tool of choice because it is an AutoCAD clone so my skills are still relevant and because it is free. I own a license of AutoCAD but I can load Draftsight on all of my computers and teach its use to others more easily because it's a free download (which, I'm sure, is part of Dessault's marketing plan and I'm playing right along). Like AutoCAD, Draftsight lets you load a reference to an image file for tracing and that's just what we are going to do.
I recommend placing your image file on a different layer from your tracing vectors so they can be easily isolated by turning layers on or off. Another good use for layers is to isolate different colors. In addition, the use of layers will help simplify our design. Our BoogerBall will eventually consist of multiple boogers in different shades of green. Rather than have every little splotch of color be its own closed vector shape that needs to be created and filled with color, we can create a large background shape of a single color and then layer the smaller booger shapes of differing color on top. All of the little spaces and gaps in-between will be filled with the background color. Because AI will import layers along with geometry from a DWG file, you can begin organizing and separating the different colored shapes on different layers now and save yourself some tedious work later.
I use two tracing methods in Draftsight that eventually converge to produce the desired result. The goal is to have closed geometric shapes that can easily be filled with color in AI. The first method is to use the arc command many times in succession to trace a booger. The CAD tool will automatically repeat the last command if Enter or the Space Bar is pressed so after making one arc on the path, it's easy to keep going. Hitting Enter or Space again causes the first point of the arc to be a continuation of the last point of the previous arc making both arcs tangent to each other (a smooth looking transition). Because of this, you can quickly trace an organic (curvy) object by making one arc and then repeating Enter, Enter, Click, Click as many times you need to complete the path. The resulting geometry will be many small arcs as separate entities. While AI has tools to convert this to one path (Pathfinder), the CAD tool can do it just as quick (you're already here, anyway) by choosing the PEDIT command. PEDIT will convert the first arc you select into a Polyline (a single continuous entity made from many). Using the Join option, you can add all of the remaining arcs to the path. With the Close option, you can be confident that the final result is a closed Polyline (i.e. one that can be filled with color in AI). The alternate method for creating a closed, curvy shape is to use the PLINE command which creates a multifaceted Polyline of small, straight line segments as you make clicks along the desired path. Again, use Close to be sure the Polyline is completely closed. Then use PEDIT and either the Fit Curve or the Spline Curve option to make the path smooth. This second method will be faster than the first because you are just making a bunch of short line segments and letting the CAD tool make the curves, but you will have less control over the final outcome, especially where your booger shapes make sharp corners or tight reversing turns. As you repeat this process, you will eventually trace all of your boogers onto different layers and you will be ready for color and fine tuning in AI.
Importing your vector BoogerBall into AI is as simple as closing Draftsight (be sure to SAVE) and opening the DWG file in AI. The Options box that pops up gives you the opportunity to scale your image, or center it on the Artboard. I recommend experimenting with these options. Be sure to leave the Merge Layers option unchecked so all that extra work you did to isolate layers in Draftsight isn't lost in translation. After the file is opened and you SAVE it to a new AI file, it's fairly easy to isolate a layer at a time, select all of the booger shapes, and choose a fill color to fill them.
Within just a few moments, you can have a complete BoogerBall design that's exactly what we are looking for, a stylized vector graphic suitable for use as a logo that doesn't excite the gag reflex of our "real" BoogerBall. I did a little extra work to integrate the Wordmark and added a little stylized shadow. Now we can move on to bigger and better things like building a fun WordPress website and earning traffic to it.
Update: After working on this one post for over a year I've come to realize that the opening sentence applies to this post and the whole BoogerBall concept. I am moving on to a new subject – a new project that has many more redeeming qualities and an infinite range of learning opportunities (with more posts to illuminate them). Look for future posts about Engineering For Everyone, an educational program I have been developing. You're probably saying, "Thank goodness, that was really too gross!"
Update#2: I just learned last week that Floyd Coates passed away after a battle with cancer. I will miss him as he inspired me to keep going with my writing. I look forward to greeting him in Heaven some day.

Yes the bots are running wild once again.
Dishonest and manipulative to the core, their operators hide in the shadows, and pretend honesty.........they are not honest.
Don't believe me?
I was looking through the archive and found that innocuous comments by DK were suddenly at -17, and falling. comments made over a year ago.
This is the dishonest work of bot operators.
Pretenders to any revolutionary thought, they've also been voting up some of the most hurtful comments by obvious trolls.
Some will say, it's the work of trashy.
Some will claim it's the work of Ironbolt.
I don't really know who's it is.
I just know that this is the kind of behavior that has been trying to destroy the integrity of this forum, almost since day one.
What shall we do, to draw them out for the ridicule they so richly deserve?

2 oz. Dubonnet Rouge
1 oz. Amer Picon
1 oz. Triple Sec (I used Cointreau)
Combine all ingredients with cracked ice in a cocktail shaker and shake well. Strain into chilled cocktail glass and garnish with lemon twist.
~ from "The New York Bartender's Guide", edited by Sally Ann Berk
The New York Bartender's Guide, like many items in my collection of boozeware, was a flea market find. I've mentioned before that many of these come courtesy of my father, who regularly travels the local circuit of flea markets, swap meets and the like, never failing to procure all manner of second-hand cocktail ephemera with a price tag of five dollars or less.
Despite its impeccable provenance, this volume is not one I consult often. (Although it has proven it's merit solely by laying to rest a nagging question concerning the recipe of a drink that was a favorite of my wife's grandmother.) However, as I was paging through it in search of a different recipe, I randomly laid eyes on this little number called the Sanctuary. It caught my attention for two reasons:
1) Absence of a base spirit
2) The realization that even though it has only 3 ingredients, this drink could easily go so terribly, terribly wrong.
The lack of a base spirit wasn't that troubling...it made me more curious than apprehensive, so full steam ahead. My main concern was getting the ingredients right. First off, if the Dubonnet was too old, we'd have a problem. Second, if the Amer was lousy, we'd have a problem. And third, if the recipe calls for triple sec, we have a problem.
Now before anyone accuses me of unreasonable anti-triple sec bias, I just need to say that triple sec is perfectly serviceable in a number of drinks. It's just that in my experience there are a variety of other orange liqueurs that can be used in its place that will yield tastier results. Fortunately, I had a handful of them available in Ye Olde Basement Booze Shelves, so I opted for Cointreau this time around.
It also turned out my bottle of Dubonnet was still OK, so I was two-thirds the way home.
That left the Amer. Again I was lucky, because I had a fresh stash of homemade stuff that my fellow cocktail geek SeanMike of the Scofflaw's Den was kind enough to place in my quivering mitts a few weeks ago. It's great, and as I mentioned earlier, I much prefer it to the commercially-made stuff I've tried.
So I broke out the shaker and gave it a go. It's startlingly good, with an overall "vintagey" character that somehow manages both depth and lightness. Also, it's a darn pretty brownish/crimson color that makes you want to dust off your thrift-store coupes* and let the light hit it.
So my advice concerning flea-market cocktail guides is this: If you run across something that looks like it may only have limited potential, consider picking it up anyway. I once heard someone say that even if you only get one good recipe out of a cookbook, the book was worth having. Even if I never find another decent recipe in The New York Bartender's Guide again, I'm still glad I gave it sanctuary on my shelf.
*Everyone buys their fancy glassware in thrift stores, right?

Thrift stores are the only place to buy coupes. Especially if you want fewer than 36!

Dagreb: True! And since they come in at around 25-50 cents apiece (at least around here, you really can't complain about the price.

20.03.2017 - Swiss Stamps will become interactive
(pdsp) With its first stamp edition of 2017, Swiss Post creates a bridge between traditional stamps and the digital world. At first glance, the stamps present themselves as usual as artwork in small format, and as witnesses of contemporary events. This will remain the case in the future as well. At the same time, each stamp will also now contain multimedia elements. In this way, the subjects on the stamps come to life, or even interact with the viewer. This is made possible using a smartphone and the Post-App.
Customer needs are changing, as are those of the philatelist, sais Swiss Post. The Post is responding to these trends: Swiss Post stamps have entered the digital world. In future, the stamp subjects will come to life through multi-media, simply by scanning them using the free Post-App. Additional information will be presented in the form of text, image, sound or video. On the other hand, the new stamps can also contain interactive elements, such as surveys or competitions. In addition, the scanned stamps can be ordered directly by smartphone.
The options available for the new generation of stamps are demonstrated in the recent "Animal babies" issue. The Berne designer Simon Hofer created four special stamps showing baby versions of a bear, wolf, lynx and otter. The stamps look traditional, but if you scan the stamp motif, an entertaining video will provide additional facts about the individual animal species. 'These exciting videos will put a smile on your face', promises Swiss Post.

It's impossible to use the word 'supergroup' in connection with Correcto without coming over as a smirking imbecile, implicitly relegating the Glaswegian quartet to a minor-league concern with one ironically-deployed tickle of the computer keys. The band numbers Franz Ferdinand drummer Paul Thomson, Royal We guitarist Patrick Doyle, Richard Wright and Danny Saunders among its ranks – not an All-Star IV by any stretch, but by the same token, hardly a CV to be ashamed of either. So it's at this point we'll cast that irksome epithet to the high winds and take the band on their own terms.
Correcto is essentially Saunders' songwriting vehicle, inhabiting a zippy middle ground between melodic post-punk, Postcard's punch-drunk romanticism and the catchier end of the American alt-rock spectrum. Vocally, Saunders' clipped syllables recall Wire's Colin Newman and Ray Davies ('Save Your Sorrow' has an openly Village Green air about it), and the latter is perhaps unsurprising given his previously-stated love of Davies' skewed parochialism.
Individual cuts sound tidy: the brisk repetitions of 'Do It Better' capture the song's rat-race themes nicely, and 'Joni''s naive exuberance proves infectious enough to get briefly airborne. Trouble is, even in light of the record's modest aims, Correcto feels underwhelming; the sound of comfort zones idly dwelt in, old allegiances reaffirmed and well-worn formulas reheated. Granted, this is applicable to almost any post-punk revival act of the era, but Correcto tread established paths where their influences blazed a trail - Orange Juice's chaotic approach occasionally stumbled into grace, Wire's geometric shape-throwing met with a sharply satirical eye in the lyrics, Buzzcocks' razorblade romances had the authentic, bitter tang of misspent youth. This is just a polite echo.
Ultimately you're left with no option other than to compare Correcto with a collaboration between a Wispa and an Aero – pleasant, certainly, but the likelihood is you'd have preferred one or the other, and the chances of it ending up more than the sum of its parts are practically nil.

There now is more interest than ever in integrative medicine, which combines nontraditional, or alternative, practices with conventional Western medicine. According to a 2007 National Institutes of Health study, approximately 38 percent of adults and nearly 12 percent of children under age 18 had used some kind of complementary or alternative medicine. There is also growing interest in the scientific community in the effectiveness of holistic traditions practiced in other countries, and how these therapies may be used alongside conventional medicine for greater effectiveness.
When practiced correctly, I believe that there can be real benefits for some brain disease patients who choose to incorporate integrative medicine into their treatments or use them for general wellbeing. The diagnosis of a brain disease can be devastating. Including alternative therapies can help patients deal with the emotional and physical implications of these disorders.
Examples of Integrative Medicine and Alternative Treatments
Integrative medicine relies not only on the body and its outward expressions of health conditions, but on the mind and spirit as well. There are a wide variety of alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, biofeedback, nutrition counseling, herbal treatments, homeopathy, massage therapy, reflexology, hypnotherapy, and meditation.
My patients and I fight brain tumor battles on a daily basis. The drugs and technology available to us to wage these battles are incredibly advanced and, while effective at treating tumors, can be physically and mentally taxing on the patient. I believe that a broader mind-body approach – where we deal with not just the brain tumors and their symptoms, but the patients' full physical and psychological states – is an important part of treatment and healing. I've seen significant success in employing alternative therapies as part of brain cancer treatment, and I educate my patients about the benefits of integrative medicine and discuss their options if they're interested.
Communicate, Communicate
The key to successful integrative medicine is open communication. Be sure to tell your doctors about any nontraditional treatments you are using. Some alternative therapies, especially herbal medicines and homeopathic treatments, can cause bad drug interactions, and serious medical complications may arise; herbal medicines and homeopathic treatments should never be self-prescribed. The goal of integrative medicine is to combine different treatments to support health, and this should always be done under physician supervision; you don't want to risk a setback.
If you're interested in integrative medicine, do some research and find out what complementary and alternative practices have been shown in respected peer-reviewed medical journals to treat your particular health condition. Then ask your physician what he or she thinks. Your doctor can work with you to determine which alternative therapies may be beneficial for you.
Reputable resources for more information on integrative medicine include the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Mind your health,

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Luis Valbuena drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning with a sacrifice fly as the Chicago Cubs escaped Fenway Park with a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Boston went with Koji Uehara to start the ninth with the game tied, and Anthony Rizzo greeted the closer with a leadoff single. Starlin Castro followed with a double to put runners on second and third, and Valbuena's fly ball to right field was deep enough to score Rizzo for the what turned into the deciding run. Hector Rondon shut down the Red Sox in the ninth to post his 11th save, while Pedro Strop (1-3) earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief behind Edwin Jackson, who scattered six hits and four walks over six innings of one- run ball. "We've been very fortunate in that our starting pitching has done a nice job and our relief corps has done a really good job," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "Guys just scratched out a run or two to give us an opportunity to win." Uehara (3-2) was saddled with the loss, Boston's second straight in this three-game interleague series. Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-5 and drove in the only run for the Red Sox, and Clay Buchholz, in his second start since returning from the disabled list, only allowed one run on five hits over 6 1/3 innings. "I thought he had good stuff, probably one of the better fastballs he's had the entire season," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "I thought he threw a number of really good curveballs." The Red Sox, who were shut out on Monday, ran themselves out of a run in the first inning when A.J. Pierzynski was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double, and Welington Castillo threw behind Stephen Drew at first with an inning-ending pickoff that left a man on third. Boston stranded two more in the fourth when Justin Ruggiano made a terrific leaping catch in center to rob Xander Bogaerts of extra bases, but the hosts put together a two-out rally in the fifth to break the scoreless tie. Jackie Bradley Jr. doubled and Brock Holt singled before Pedroia knocked in a run with a base hit to left. The bases were left loaded, however, when Mike Napoli grounded into a fielder's choice, and Buchholz finally blinked in the sixth after setting down 13 hitters in a row. A double and single started the frame, and Ruggiano scored when Chris Coghlan's grounder up the middle deflected off Pedroia's glove and found its way to Drew standing on second for the force out. Like Boston, the Cubs left runners on as Rizzo lined into an inning-killing double play, then Chicago wasted a first-and-third, one-out chance in the seventh. Buchholz was pulled after plunking Castillo to put two on, and Andrew Miller struck out pinch-hitter Junior Lake and Ruggiano to keep it a 1-1 game. Game Notes Pedroia recorded his third three-hit game in his last four contests ... Eleven of Boston's last 17 games have been decided by one run (6-5) ... Chicago has won two straight games while plating two or fewer runs after doing so just two times all season prior to Monday's 2-0 victory ... Boston has held its opponents to three runs or less in its last 14 home games, the longest such streak in franchise history ... Earlier Tuesday, the Red Sox traded pitcher Rich Hill to the Angels in exchange for cash and released pitcher Chris Capuano.
