firstname.lastname@example.com wrote:Not being an expert on the matter, I have picked up a thing or two about ceramic bearings: From what I understand, the major gain you get with ceramic bearings is weight (steel ball bearings are heavier than their ceramic brethren).
Our Ceramic Bearings are actually a little bit heavier. About 1 gram. This is because they use 11 ball bearings instead of the 10 seen in the SS bearings.
Also, ceramic balls can be made smoother than steel balls, thus "adding" to the function of the bearing i.e. reducing friction even more than you would get in a stell ball bearing. This, of course, in the end means that the wheel will spin with less friction.
Yes. Also, with 11 ball bearings, each bearing has to be smaller compared to the 10 ball bearing in our SS bearings. Here is a quote from our blog about the smaller bearings...
"bearing manufacturers use ceramic balls with smaller diameters (shown below) which greatly reduces the influence of centrifugal force (ie. ball sliding and spinning caused by a gyratory moment). As a result, ceramic bearings show a reduction in temperature build up and an improvement when spinning at high speeds."
The third thing is longevity. Ceramic bearings tend to experience less wear and tear than steel bearings. This may be due to the lesser amount of friction on the ceramic balls, but I'm not too sure on this... :-)
The drawback with ceramic bearings - from what I've heard - is that if you for some reason get dirt or grit in the bearing it will wear down faster than a steel bearing. Also, I've heard that if you get water in a ceramic bearing, it will reduce the functionality of the bearing, i.e. increase friction. Don't know how much water will affect steel bearings, though, but my guess is that ceramic bearings are a bit more sensitive in this regard.
That being said, I have wheels with both types of bearings and in my opinion, my wheel set with the ceramic set-up (DT-Swiss 190 hubs) is absolutely fantastic! I can really tell the difference from my "non-ceramic" wheels. They won't stop rolling for quite a while, even if I stop pedalling...! :-) And especially on descents, I can reach higher top speeds than with my other wheels.
I hope this somewhat answers your question... You can probably get more in-depth information and reviews on the Web if you look around a bit.

Supracricoid hemipharyngo-laryngectomy for treatment of T1-2 hypopharyngeal tumors
Suche in Medline nach
|22. April 2008
Introduction: Authors report function spearing surgical treatment – supracricoid hemipharyngo-laryngectomy – for the treatment tumors of the piriform sinus. Surgical technic, oncological and functional result are demonstrated .
Method: 25 patients were retrospectively reviewed between 2000 and 2005 who underwent supracricoid hemipharyngo-laryngectomy with neck dissection for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and neck metastasis in our department. Our surgical method contained removal of the half of the hyoid bone, the prelaryngeal muscles are unilateraly dissected and resection the lateral part of the thyroid cartilige and infiltrated pyriform sinus together with ary-region, above the level of the cricoid cartilige. The perichondrium of resected thyroidal cartilage was preserved and for the reconstruction of the neopharynx beside the pharyngeal mucosa and muscle was also applied. Prelaryngeal muscles were also reconstructed. 12 patients had postoperativ irradiation.
Results: Of the 25 patients 12 have no sign of recurrence (48%), 5 patients had recurrent metastasis (20%) required sRND, 2 patients had local recurrance and required total laryngectomy, in 2 patients observed second primary tumor (8%), 2 patients had distant metastasis (paratracheal-mediastinal, inguinal), 1 patients died of local recurrance, 1 patients died of general conditional problem.
Conclusion: Authors consider the method accounted a suitable function maintaing treatment in selective cases of piriform sinus cancer.

"Great discourse on personality and values."
I found this quick read a great mix of marketing, psychology of personality, and personal development. Rather than focusing on products or services, this book focuses on how to ponder, develop, market, and maintain personal values and characteristics. While the book was focused mainly on business environments, a large amount of the personality traits and skills are useful outside of work too. Personalities aside, this book certainly isn't an all around solution to marketing, but the topics and techniques can lead to enhanced and individualized mentalities and perspectives.
"Good Content, Bad Narrator"
I would try another book from the authors, but that narrator needs not narrate any more. His reading is choppy, it almost sounds like he doesn't know how to read. He has no personality. It's obvious he was chose to narrate because of his deep voice, but he isnot good at this at all.

U.S. Supremacy Can Outlive Obama's Foreign Policy
Foreign policy achievements have thus far stood out for their absence during President Obama's tenure. The engagement with Iran, the "reset" of relations with Russia, the intermediation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the protestations against cyber-attacks coming from China against U.S. firms, the pressures on North Korea and the "red line" warnings to the Syrian regime over chemical weapons, have all failed to advance peace or democracy in the world or to strengthen the American hand in international relations.
U.S. foreign policy initiatives have, in no small measure, been subordinated to the acquiescence of the UN Security Council, where they are toned down to the point of innocuousness in order to circumvent the veto of rivals Russia and China.
True, this administration can boast about the execution of bin Laden and a considerable number of other prominent terrorists, but progress in this area belongs more to the realm of intelligence and military sophistication rather than to foreign policy, per se.
The question arises as to whether the limits of President Obama's foreign policy are the result of a faulty but corrigible diplomacy, or rather, the consequence of an irreversible waning of U.S. leverage in world affairs.
For starters, it is worth recalling that the U.S. experienced a similar predicament during Jimmy Carter's presidency. At that time, America's foreign policy was neither more coherent nor more forceful than that of its strategic rival, namely Leonid Brezhnev's Soviet Union.
While Jimmy Carter was entangled in the Iran hostage crisis and grappled with stagflation, the Soviet Union was invading Afghanistan, enlarging its presence in Africa with the help of Cuban troops and crushing dissent in Eastern Europe.
Yet, a few years later, the U.S. carried off the Cold War contest.
Such an outcome proves that having a forceful foreign policy is no guarantee of success, and, conversely, that a feeble diplomacy would not by itself toll the knell of a hegemon.
In the fight for geopolitical preponderance, superiority in certain fundamental domains -- notably the economy and technological and military sophistication -- play a more decisive role than diplomatic might.
And it so happens that, after the Carter years, America's free market economic vitality managed to overcome stagflation and expand its technological lead at the same time as the Soviet centrally planned economy continued in the path of self-asphyxia.
In protecting and consolidating preponderance, equally important is the system's ability to question itself and correct its own failures.
Here, too, America demonstrated its competitive edge vis-à-vis the USSR. Carter's foreign policy flops were so impairing that they became an issue in the 1980 presidential contest. Free elections gave Americans the opportunity to send an assertive Ronald Reagan to the Oval Office. Meanwhile, the rigidities inherent in one-party systems led to the demise of the Soviet bloc, despite Mikhail Gorbachev's attempts to reform and salvage it.
That said, there are geopolitical configurations in which foreign policy does determine the course of events. The narrower a hegemon's preponderance in the aforementioned fundamental domains is, the more it will depend on a punchy diplomacy to prevail over its challengers.
British supremacy throughout the 19th Century is a case in point. England's rivals (in particular Prussia), though lacking a comparable clout in the seas, had an economic, technological and military status roughly comparable to that of England. Their political systems didn't differ much, either. As a result, England had to constantly juggle with ad hoc alliances so as to preserve a balance of forces in its favor.
The U.S. today presents a stronger similarity to Jimmy Carter's America than to 19th Century Britain.
America's technological lead is contested by no nation or group of nations. America's economic recovery, albeit tepid, brings to mind the end of the stagflation of the 1970s. And the sequester notwithstanding, U.S. defense spending still dwarfs the next 13 nations combined.
Because of the impressive rates of growth registered over the past two decades, China is seen as today's most serious challenge to U.S. supremacy. But China's formidable economic dynamism, by itself, doesn't transform the empire of the Middle Kingdom into tomorrow's hegemon.
China just utilizes Western technology, as former Premier Wen Jiabao himself implied when he euphemistically referred to China's "insufficient innovation capabilities." Its development model resembles Japan's state capitalism, which tends to run out of steam once it reaches a middle-of-the-road stage -- the so-called middle-income trap.
To catch up with the U.S., the ruling China People's Party (CPP) is aggressively expanding its military arsenal. The Soviet experience indicates, however, that to engage in massive military expenditures to the point of neglecting people's expectations (and in China these are high) may open the Pandora box of social unrest.
Thus far, the CPP has managed to divert people's discontent away from the central government by funneling it against local authorities. But that escape valve may ultimately get clogged up.
What's more, China's major neighbors -- Japan, India, Australia, South Korea and Vietnam -- are stepping up efforts with a view to thwarting China's naval ambitions in the South China Sea. Despite their past reservations and in some cases hostility to America's military presence in the region, these countries are now eager to have a more emphatic U.S. on their side.
For all these reasons, like in Jimmy Carter's years, the U.S. can afford a floundering diplomacy without losing its status of hegemon -- while waiting for a Reagan-like, assertive leadership to come and mend the current foreign policy flops.

U.S. government sues over South Carolina immigration law
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's administration Monday challenged a new immigration law by South Carolina, the third such law it has taken on, arguing it is unconstitutional and interferes with federal immigration authority, the Justice Department said.
"The Constitution and federal law do not permit the development of a patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country," the department said in a statement.
"South Carolina's law clearly conflicts with the policies and priorities adopted by the federal government and therefore cannot stand," it added.
The law in the southeastern US state "is designed to further criminalize unauthorized immigrants.
"And like the Arizona and Alabama laws, (it) expands the opportunity for police to push unauthorized immigrants towards incarceration for various new immigration crimes by enforcing an immigration status verification system," according to the challenge.
The law in South Carolina, signed by Governor Nikki Haley — the daughter of immigrants from India, signed the law in June. It is to take effect January 1.
The department argued that South Carolina's law would unduly burden federal agencies
It also will "result in the harassment and detention of foreign visitors and legal immigrants, as well as US citizens, who cannot readily prove their lawful status," the department charged.
Haley however believes her small, socially conservative state is within its local legal rights.
"As the daughter of immigrants who came to this country legally, Governor Haley understands that no American value is more sacred than the rule of law. That's what this is about, 'nothing more, nothing less,' Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey told Politico.com.
"If the Feds were doing their job, we wouldn't have had to address illegal immigration reform at the state level. But, until they do, we're going to keep fighting in South Carolina to be able to enforce our laws."
The United States, with some 11 million undocumented migrants, sorely needs national immigration reform, which Obama has said he will try to pursue if he is re-elected.
Opposing flexibility on immigration politically can be very thorny in the United States, where most people are either descended from immigrants or are immigrants themselves.
But with the economy sputtering and unemployment high, many conservatives argue immigrants take jobs away from American workers. Opponents however maintain US workers simply will not do the toughest of jobs — like farm work and meat processing — commonly taken by migrants in the country illegally.

DECATUR, Texas (AP) - A man who may be linked to the slaying of Colorado's state prison chief led authorities in Texas on a harrowing, 100-mph car chase Thursday that ended after he crashed into a semi and then opened fire before being shot down by his pursuers, authorities said.
The man is still unidentified and is "basically legally deceased" while still hooked up to equipment for organ harvesting at a Fort Worth hospital, Wise County Sheriff David Walker told an afternoon news conference in Decatur.
The possible link to the Tuesday night slaying of Colorado prison director Tom Clements is tentative but intriguing enough to put Colorado investigators on a plane to Texas. The black Cadillac the man drove, with Colorado license plates, matches the description of a car spotted outside Clements' home just before the Department of Corrections chief was fatally shot while answering his front door.
"We don't know yet exactly whether this is the guy," Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper told reporters Thursday afternoon. "There's some indication. I hope it is."
A deputy in Montague County, Texas, tried to pull the Cadillac over at about 11 a.m. Thursday on a routine traffic stop, though officials wouldn't elaborate on the reason.
The driver opened fire on the deputy, wounding him, Walker said. He then fled south before crashing into a semi as he tried to elude his pursuers.
Walker says Colorado investigators are heading to Texas to determine whether the man is connected to Clements' killing. The wounded deputy was wearing a bulletproof vest and is at a Fort Worth hospital, authorities said. Officials earlier said he wasn't seriously injured, but now say his condition is unknown.
Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins said the man appeared to be a white man in his 30s. The man shot at Hoskins four times as the chief tried to set up a road block to halt him. The man left his car after it crashed and opened fire on the authorities around him, Hoskins said.
"He wasn't planning on being taken alive," Hoskins said. In a brief interview, he added that the man had no identification on him.
El Paso County, Colo., sheriff's investigators have been looking for a dark, late-model car, possibly a Lincoln or a Cadillac, that a neighbor spotted near Clements' home around the time of the shooting. Lt. Jeff Kramer refused to say what other clues may have been found after Clements' neighborhood was canvassed by officers.
Clements, 58, was killed as he answered the door to his home Tuesday night in Monument, a town of rolling hills and alpine trees north of Colorado Springs. His death stunned law enforcement colleagues in Colorado and Missouri, where he spent most of his career as a highly respected corrections official.
Police haven't said if they think his death was linked to his job.
Denver's KMGH-TV reported Thursday that Clements may have put a bicycle up for sale for $1,200 on Craigslist. Kramer told the station, "I can't speak to the efforts behind this tip, or the level we are giving it."
In recent weeks, Clements had requested chemicals to plan for the execution of a convict on Colorado's death row and denied a Saudi national's request to serve out the remainder of a sentence in his home country. Officials refused to say whether they were looking at those actions as possible motives.
Clements came to Colorado in 2011 after working three decades in the Missouri prison system. Missouri Department of Corrections spokeswoman Mandi Steele said Thursday the department was ready to help in the probe if asked.
"Tom regularly commented that corrections is inherently a dangerous business, and that's all that I'll say," said Alison Morgan, a Colorado corrections spokeswoman who worked closely with Clements.
Officials in positions like Clements' get a deluge of threats, according to people who monitor their safety. But it can be hard sorting out which ones could lead to violence. A U.S. Department of Justice study found that federal prosecutors and judges received 5,250 threats between 2003 and 2008, but there were only three attacks during that time period.
The last public official killed in Colorado in the past 10 years was Sean May, a prosecutor in suburban Denver. An assailant killed May as he arrived home from work. Investigators examined May's court cases, but the case remains unsolved.
Riccardi reported from Denver. Associated Press writers P. Solomon Banda, Colleen Slevin in Denver and Jordan Shapiro in Jefferson City, Mo., contributed to this report.

New Fairfield-Immaculate boys hockey falls in state quarterfinals
Published 12:24 am, Sunday, March 10, 2013
BRIDGEPORT -- The New Fairfield/Immaculate co-op boys hockey team brought everything it could to pull off a monumental upset at the Wonderland of Ice rink Saturday afternoon.
The Rebels brought about 200 fans, including a loud student section, a strong goalie in junior Ryan Dobos, and most importantly -- the belief that they could go toe-to-toe with No.1 seed and defending Division III state champion Newington/Berlin/Manchester.
The eighth-seeded Rebels kept that belief alive when they took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Parker Evans five minutes into the game and skated off the ice after one period with the one-goal advantage.
The upset dream, however, didn't last long as the Indians rallied for two goals in the second en route to a 4-2 victory in the quarterfinals of the Division III playoffs.
"I'm so proud of my guys," said New Fairfield captain Bailey Brown. "We came in as huge underdogs and we showed we could play with anybody. Nobody thought we would do anything this year, but we showed we could do a lot."
The Rebels, who opened the tournament with a 3-2 victory over Housatonic/Northwestern/Wamogo in the first round, came a long way from last season's 2-17-1 record.
New Fairfield/Immaculate finished 11-11 this season under co-head coaches Greg Romans and Larry Viera.
"We came out strong in the first and took advantage of them not having played a game in two weeks," said Viera. "Newington came alive in the second and their skill level took over."
Newington (15-4-2) hadn't played in nearly two weeks after receiving a first-round bye and it showed early as it was unable to take advantage of its speed. Dobos also had something to do with the Indians' struggles as he turned away a number of quality scoring opportunities.
The Rebels also took advantage of some aggressive play from the Indians. Evans' goal came on a power play and assists were credited to Joseph Carlucci and Brown.
The Indians outshot the Rebels 11-4 in the first period.
Newington tied the game at 11:41 in the second on a goal by Daniel Roberts. Brendan Richards then put the Indians ahead 2-1 with a power-play goal four minutes later.
The play of the game came seven minutes into the final period when Richards maneuvered the puck past two Rebel defenders and fired a shot past Dobos for a 3-1 lead.
"He's a phenomenal player," said Newington coach Dave Harackiewicz of Richards. "He's our go-to guy. He's one of the best players in the state. Our skill level took over after the first period, but I give a lot of credit to New Fairfield/Immaculate. They played excellent and never let up."
The Rebels' final goal came with 29 seconds left to play when Nicholas Nieves squeezed the puck past goalie Drew O'Leary.
"We accomplished so much this year," said Romans. "There was no quit in this team and they helped establish a strong foundation for us."
Goals: NF--Parker Evans, Nicholas Nieves; N--Daniel Roberts, Brendan Richards 2, Justin Pratte. Asissts: NF--Brown, Joseph Carlucci; N--Richards 2, Mattew Harackiewicz, Patrick Mix, Luca DiPaola, Roberts. Goalies: NF--Ryan Dobos (31 saves); N--Drew O'Leary (16)

Before reading David Brownlee's recent suggestion I had attempted to re-install NetBSD while the RiscPC had the ARM610 processor installed. Using the Install kernel which Chris Gilbert mentioned here early in February (3rd?) while copying the contents of BASE.TGZ it stalled twice at 19% - left for over 15 mninutes with no change - and also dropped to a db> (debug?) prompt on other occassions. Suspecting a problem with the CDROM drive I swapped to a different one and the install still had similar problems so I put my StrongARM processor into the machine and the Full install ran successfully simply reporting that the Tests set was unavailable on the CD (version 4.0 ISO from the NetBSD site) and completing when that set was skipped. Reverting to the ARM610 processor the system will boot and I can now spend some time learning with it. I have a spare ARM610 processor card I will post if someone would like tomake use of it.
If it drops to ddb again, can you run the bt command and capture a backtrace? That might tell us more about what's happened.
I suspect that the arm6 support isn't that well used/tested any more as most arm devices are arm7 or later. Sadly the arm 610 I have doesn't boot with risc-os 4.03 (not sure if it's a dead CPU or incompatible OS)
Thanks, Chris

text: of reviewed on 08/10/2015 Received the player within 4 days of placing order which is great considering it gets shipped from Germany. Unfortunately my wife has been hooked since it arrived and it is her record collection that has tested the unit - my time will come! First impressions are very good bearing in mind this isn't the dearest player you can buy. It's played everything that's been thrown at it so far without any problem. If you are going to get a record player then you have to remember that the sound is different to cd's and mp3's. I have to disagree with review that states that the sound is awful, the unit itself produces a typical 'vinyl' sound which is the whole idea of getting a record player. I have also connected to my hi fi using an rca cable and turned the volume down low on the unit and turned the volume up on my hi fi, again it produced a typical vinyl sound but with more 'bite' - but I'd expect this with a decent amp and speakers. For the price I can't fault this unit and if you have just rediscovered your vinyl collection you could do a lot worse than investing in this turntable - highly recommended. [...] Read Review

To add to Roy's comment: Usenet started and is still carried by hundreds if not thousands of sites using UUCP as the transport mechanism. In this case I am refering to the file transport method that has one computer use its modem to call another computers modem. This was sometimes called the UUCP network, but it only involved on demand phone calls between consenting sites. A comment on Tony's statement: The Usenet distribution maps for the UK are black with dots representing sites that receive Usenet. Mike Cherry cherry at frodo.mgh.harvard.edu

Maracaibo, Venezuela
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Protestas en Venezuela
Tension in Maracaibo
As the situation in Venezuela becomes more tense with demonstrations and protests against the government. People from Mérida and Táchira states continue with "guarimbas" (street clashes) while in Maracaibo people keep on banging on pots and pans.
These videos were recorded by a fellow venezuelan who lives exactly in the downtown area. She was woken up early in the morning by what appeared to be gunshots. People were running away from a local shopping center, as it can be seen in the following segments. Police forces entered the mall (Ciudad Chinita Mall) shooting and driving people away while neighbors from the surrounding buildings screamed and shouted "murderers!".

text: Hi, I've uploaded the new files in the results of a bulk rebuild of pkgsrc-2008Q1 done on NetBSD/macppc 3.1_STABLE to ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/powerpc/3.1-2008Q1/ A total of 319MB of packages were uploaded. The source tree this was built from was updated May 22, 2008. The new or updated packages in this rebuild are: ap22-php5, ap22-suphp, bugzilla, centerim, liblive, lighttpd, mantis, mt-daapd, net-snmp, php (5), php5-*, plone3, quagga, tcl, thunderbird*, and tk. As indicated above, the build was done on a machine running NetBSD 3.1_STABLE, and most of these packages should be usable on newer versions of the OS up to where we switched to gcc 4, and should also be usable on 3.1 and probably on 3.0 as well. For the packages which are not architecture-specific (should be the vast majority), these packages should also be usable on other powerpc ports. Regards, - Håvard

Metal Gear Solid 4 will be the end of the Snake saga," proclaimed Executive Producer and Creative Director Hideo Kojima. Playing through the first moments of his now completed epic, Kojima highlights the conclusion of the long-running narrative to one of gaming's most iconic figures. The ending of one thing only serves as the beginning for another, as GAmeShark's hands-on time with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots at Konami Gamers' Night proved.
While the game may serve as an end to the story of Snake, it prompts an innovative new beginning as Kojima's massive title attempts to rocket gaming into a new generation of cinematic quality and unparalleled interactivity.
i dont think where going to see this game get lower then a 9 out of 10

The only problem with Dawn's Contest journey was her Mary Sue rival of a character that was Zoey. She LOOKED cool, but she was so flawless it was ridiculous...

If contests were more like AG yes.
You are the sun
The moon in the night
You are my everything
Everything so right
I dont need another Summer
Another Spring, Another Fall
If I have you, dont need anything at all
I don't care if they have contests or not next time, just give the girl something to do. Make a boy do them instead if they must.
I'd still really like Cilan to develop into a co-ordinator. His personality would suit it perfectly and he really did seem quite interested in Dawn..
So yeah, if he does return in the next region, then that's what I'd like him to do..
Currently Training
I don't really have the time or patience to focus on nature's and IV'S, I just play with what I'm handed..
**** no.. found them boring
i like the don tournments they are much more interesting and fun (and if done right of course)
Even if I'm not a big fan of Contests, I liked how they didn't involve much battling and showed how moves could be used in a non-offensive way. I'd like to see Cilan (if he doesn't leave) partaking Contests in the future.
I actually liked Dawn's coordination journey more than May's. I am a fan of DP contests. But yeah, it would be really stale if they try it again. Unless they have a very different and interesting plot for the MC. Then it'd be good.
FF.Net profile: Here!!\
Speaking of contests personally in case we are getting another new girl (to my disappointment), hopefully she will be given some new career to pursue and role in which we didn't had chance to see female put in as major character. Something along the lines of being trainer which doesn't want to be mono master or do gyms, young apprentice trying to become E4 or gym leader, ranger, researcher which is trying to learn more about mysteries and new legendary pokemon etc.
I don't really think contests are necessary to achieve character gaining believable development and adequate amount of focus .I would rather want to see writers giving good and believable development for a change to main girls which are pursuing different careers than coordinators do bringing with itself prospect of new exciting adventure, events character would enter and tasks he would need to fulfill to become what he wants.
However compared to defined goals like contests, it wasn't really explained what path someone needs to follow to fulfill such task.
Personally in a way i find anime exclusive goals to have more interesting premise behind them unlike game quests which has already set up in advance path someone needs to follow being known entire background and structure around which they revolve. One of advantages such quests have imo is certain doze of unpredictability not being possible to predict outcome allowing that such goals get taken in several directions depending on writer imagination.
But i agree how there should exist happy medium with character goals having both dash of mystery to themselves but also better defined benchmarks and obstacles someone needs to overcome and accomplish measuring more adequately his growth. Like it was case with May and Dawn with contests doing pretty good job at it.
I guess Misty goal had such predisposition with Whirl Cup which was introduced as one of links connected with her dream but it happened too late to be expanded to more notable degree.
p.s. I also agree how getting another girl striving to become "master" would be just pushing it from writers part becoming repetitive and overused concept by now. And in general i wouldn't welcome such idea, unless by some miracle previous companion like Misty is reintroduced again. Since in that case we would be getting sequel for change following experienced trainer going on bigger things instead of following someone from scratch for change. That and thanks to water being highly diverse and most rich type out there allows to create benchmarks defining direction through which further steps could be made.
But that's rather doubtful to ever happen.
I would love to have contests back but I would even more love Cilan to pursue them. He is so the coordinator type. Pansage and him would nail it and the PC girl could be his rival! *_*
If the new girl would participate in Contests I would be happy as well.
We need something.BW was worse than previous gen's cause they had to give Ash a lot of pokemon to promote the region( cause Iris has tendency towards Dragons) and the over to fast pacing gyms. I loved it being faster but under 10 eps is to much!
My Final B2-normal mode- team:
I was never much of a fan of Contests. They wearen't horrible, but I found them pretty boring. D:
However, I would love it if Dento tried them. Because, well, he's Dento. I'm sure it would make for some awesome moments and beautiful attacks made by the gorgeous Stunfisk~
Is apparantly Dragon Type in the Friend Safari. Neat.
One of these Spoilers has a very Hot Chick hidden. One has Yaoi. And one will eat your Soul. Choose at your own risk~
Spoiler:- Number 1:
Hot Chick! Sorta!
Spoiler:- Number 2:
Yaoi! True Love!
Spoiler:- Number 3:
I find contests overrated. I cannot see how people like them. The pretty combinations? The character's appearence in them? It's my least favorite aspect in the anime.
Bring contests bring back dawn. I bet they have petitions for it in Japan
Dawn could rejoin the cast simply because of Piplups popularity.
Anyway, if PokéFrance does include Contests again, then I hope they switch it up a little bit. Cilan's battle style would be a refreshing taste for Contests. Cilan with Burgundy, Jessie, and a new guy as rivals would be sweet. Both girls being competent is something we need. Jessie has so much experience that with Woobat, Frillish, Wobbuffet, Seviper, Yanmega, and a 6th gen pokemon, she would be a legit threat.
My problem with a few of the DP Contest is they felt like fireworks shows rather than battles half the time. Ambiguous attack collisions galore, I preferred AG's more battle-orientated talent Contest. Simple things like May teaching her Skitty how to juggle or one of Drew's appeals.
God, the constant use of Ice in appeals in DP and CGi got on my nerves.
May usually on with KO. Dawn won with Time. That's something that Ursula even called Dawn out on. Cilan could be a mix of them both. We know he is an all out attacker but also sparkles.

A Small Carved Box
The cool thing about this is I got this project started and finished in just one day in the shop, it was a good long enjoyable day, but it was one day, and that makes me smile. At any rate I thought that from here on out I would stop typing and just let the pictures tell the tale of the day.
Badger Woodworks Blog because it was his practice carving of a similar vein that inspired me to give the "S" scroll a try on the backside. I have to admit, his turned out better than mine, I ended up trying to stretch it too much for my proportion tastes.Overall a very satisfying project.
Here's a few final pictures:

It is much more rewarding to have a complete project from the practice rather than just a bunch of pieces of carved scrap.ReplyDelete
My first gut reaction was that it was awfully chunky thick stock. Then I remembered the box that my auger bits are in and how it is falling apart. :)
Oh by far a complete project feels better, I am actually pretty proud of this little box. It was a lot of fun.ReplyDelete
I kind of thought the stock was a little thick too, I would have resawn the stock down from 3/4" thick to 1/2" if the box's destiny was anything else I might have done more to refine it. At least I like to think I would.
Hopefully it will hold up for a while :)
Stunning work Derek, keep it up !ReplyDelete

Virgin America Celebrates a Successful Virgin Year
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Virgin America, the California-based airline that is making flying good again, today is marking its first year of flying with birthday celebrations for guests and teammates at its home base of San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and across all of its destination city airports.
"Virgin America was launched with the goal of creating an airline that would make flying in the U.S. good again, by redesigning the entire guest experience with upscale, innovative amenities and top-notch service," said Virgin America President and CEO David Cush. "With close to 1.7 million loyal guests served, seven destination cities, and a list of travel industry best-in-class awards, we couldn't be more pleased to celebrate our first birthday with the people who believed we could change the way people fly -- our loyal guests and teammates."To mark its successful Virgin year, guests on morning flights today will be feted with bubbly and birthday cake at their arrival and departure gates. At SFO, Cush will greet guests at Gates A1-A3 with birthday cake, balloons and California Brut provided by another Golden State company -- Virgin America's first sparkling wine partner the San Diego-based KARMA Fine Beverages. The SFO festivities also will include the debut of the newest member of the airline's fleet, an Airbus A319 named "The 1-Year Old Virgin."
"Congratulations to Virgin America on its first anniversary at SFO," said San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. "This partnership has been terrific for Bay Area businesses and residents. We look forward to many, many more anniversaries to come."
The Office of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has declared Aug. 8, 2008, "Virgin America Day" in the City of San Francisco. Virgin America teammates and community supporters will continue the celebration this evening at a San Francisco Giants home game at AT&T Park, where Cush will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
With just one year under its belt, Virgin America has much to celebrate with a list of travel industry best-in-class awards, including "Best Domestic Airline" in Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards and a No. 1 among U.S. carriers for quality in First/Business Class in Zagat's 2007 Global Airlines Survey.
"Our teammates have accomplished a lot during this first year, and it is great to know from the awards we've already won that our guests think so too," said Cush. "We built an airline from the ground-up by focusing on what guests actually want, and we couldn't be more pleased that the public has embraced us in such a short time flying."
Virgin America has proven to be one of the fastest growing U.S. start-up airlines of all time. Since launching on Aug. 8, 2007, the airline has grown to 1300 teammates and more than 80 flights a day with service to seven destinations from its home-base at SFO. The only airline based in California, Virgin America has a brand new 24-aircraft Airbus A320-family fleet, has completed 18,000 flights, welcomed almost 11 million visitors to its Web Site, and has served 1.7 million guests. The airline's loyalty program, Elevate, has grown to over 460,000 members to date.
In its first year flying, Virgin America has marked a few other notable firsts:
* First airline to win Travel + Leisure's World's Best Domestic Airline in its first year flying; * First U.S. airline with a "food button" or touch-screen seatback food ordering system at every seat; * First domestic airline to offer more than 30 on-demand movies at every seat; * First U.S. airline expected to have WiFi on every plane in its fleet by the Spring of 2009; * Best capitalized start-up airline in U.S. history; * First ever Victoria's Secret PJ Fashion Show on a domestic airline flight from JFK-LAX; * First U.S. airline with power outlets at every seat; * Newest domestic fleet in U.S., which is up to 30 percent more carbon and fuel efficient than other domestic airlines; * First in-flight wedding on a SFO-LAS inaugural flight officiated by Virgin Group Founder Sir Richard Branson; * First U.S. airline to offer loyalty member an opportunity to fly their way to a seat on a Virgin Galactic flight, and * First U.S. airline to launch a loyalty program where members could earn points from the day the airline launched.
Virgin America currently flies to seven cities with daily flights from: SFO to LAX, SFO to JFK, SFO to SAN, SFO to IAD, SFO to LAS, SFO to SEA, LAX to JFK, LAX to IAD, LAX to SEA, and starting Sept. 4, 2008, non-stop JFK to LAS.

I never knew they were called that. But I see Twistoid and the other with a King Hss style torso that can be a "top" or come with legs.
Twistoid and Rotar are just as much a part of MOTU as Rio Blast, or Mekaneck .... Why wouldnt we want them? Sure they didnt work, but they arent terrible .... give them a back story involving legs, or hovering, and have them come with a stand, or something .... I really hope these dont get skipped.
If mattel likes the surprise us, debut rotar at the SDCC this year.... no one NO ONE would see that coming.

Project aim
Working with young vulnerable women we aim to empower the future generation of women to realise their potential by introducing them to opportunities.
About the project
Skye Alexandra House is a bespoke service designed to meet the needs of vulnerable young women. We are passionate about the growth and personal development of young women. We use the metaphor of the developing butterfly to represent that "change takes time". Skye Alexandra House is a place where young women live, learn and grow.
We provide 24 hour around the clock semi-independent residential care, family support/mediation and workshops creating awareness around sexual exploitation, domestic violence, bullying and FGM, whilst promoting personal development, personal well-being, life-skills and help preparing for further work and education.
We have an 'Inspiring Butterflies Enterprise Programme' which gives young women the chance to start their own business. For instance last year some of our girls on the programme ran an Alice In Wonderland themed stall in the heart of Croydon selling cupcakes, smoothies and juices. We have been given the opportunity to run it again this year thanks to Croydon market inspector Fiona Woodcock, who stated that the girls brought "a great energy" to the market.
Some of our girls have had the chance to do work experience at Rinse fm, with some inspirational female mentors at Viacom also eagerly awaiting the chance to provide the next set of girls with work experience.
At Skye Alexandra House we are about creating opportunities to looked after children, care leavers and vulnerable young women to live life despite their disadvantages. This helps them understand that they are not a product of their environment, but they too have what it takes to succeed in life.
We are trying to raise funds to keep the house open as we are still waiting to get girls placed inside the house by social services. We also require funds for Skye Alexandra House CIC programme 'Inspiring Butterflies' which will be launching in July 2015. Although we have secured the market space again this year, we are in need funds for equipment to take the girls out on outings/residential trip and to plan their event where they get the opportunity to showcase all in which they have learned on the programme. This programme will run on every school holiday and half term, as this is when young people usually have nothing to do.
Our future aim is to have more homes across the UK and internationally to create worldwide awareness on the sexual exploitation of vulnerable young women.

Thank you in advance for helping us to make a difference in young women's lives

Mass Effect 3 Drops to $29.99
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Amazon chops the cost of BioWare's latest in half for a day.
Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines has begun its destruction of the human race. And for only $29.99 you can get in the middle of it! For a limited time only (as in today only), Amazon is allowing players to fight all of the Reapers for only half of the dollars!
If you don't already own the game, or did own it once, but then decided sell it on eBay because you were kinda mad about that whole ending thing, but now you sort of miss it if for no other reason then the fact that your buddies keep talking about how much they like the coop multiplayer mode that you can't enjoy with them because you somewhat hastily decided to cash in on your narrative standards, then this deal is for you!
Amazon has been known for some pretty ridiculous videogame deals in its day, but most of the deep discounts have traditionally been for downloadable titles only. Some people may dig on that, but it leaves the console junkies among us out to dry. Thankfully, this 24-hour deal on Mass Effect 3 expands to PC and Xbox 360/PS3.
If Mass Effect isn't your thing, Amazon also has some pretty great timed deals rolling out on an hourly basis. Most of it seems to be PlayStation Move related, but you may find a few surprises if you look through.
You can pick up a new copy of Mass Effect 3 here for $29.99, or sniff around today's other videogame deals here.
I already have it.....
Either way, Amazon is great for shopping.
I liked the co-op too much to turn it in :p so score for me I guess?
I'd get it, but I used my monies for other things that were needed.
Amazon's a bunch of fucking geniuses.
I live off them. As in..I'd probably die without them.
Mass effect 3 has been 30 at walmart for weeks now , this article is late.
You mean this Wal*Mart? http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=mass+effect+3&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=0
Also ... the article is about Amazon's deal, which is only happening today. While my skills are vast and ponderous, time travel beyond 1 second/second is sadly not among them at present.
What a steal! That's what Mass Effect's always been about - great co-op -.-
you know, if you leave your bloody house and actaully go into the elusive building known to many as WALMART, sitting on the shelf with the other xbox titles, theres the mass effect 3 game priced at 30$
bugger off.
After they fix the terrible ending (told about it, never played it) and it comes out in a trilogy set with all DLC, then I'll play the mass effect series.
Captcha: many happy returns, the last mass effect related thing was refunding money to people who were unhappy with the game right?
Captcha is self aware...
At half-off, you can be guarantied complete satisfaction!
Well the co-op is worth about $30 anyway
it would be alot of work to prove it that i just don't care about right now, but i did just go to wal mart yesterday to pick up some soda, and me3 was in fact 60 dollars still across the board...
so you either have a very very fortunate rebellious wal mart in your area, or i don't know where your getting that from...
$29.99 you say? Still not worth the money.
HAHAHA! That's what happens when you ship 3.5 million and only sell 1.5 million
If I had a 360 i'd totally take part on this deal. I don't want to get it on my PS3 since I can't get the first one on it. Sucks that i'm missing out on such a good deal.
I suppose I could just buy it anyway for the day when I finally do get a 360 but I also have no way to buy shit off the internet.
Well dang, I just bought the collectors edition for full price about two weeks ago.
Guess I should have waited.
�22.85 in the UK
Yeah I bought it full price and still think it was worth the money, but at this price it's a steal!
Can't. Snagging Prototype 2 after work, and that will be the kick in my wallet. Mind, I would have already bought it, at full price, if I had a 360. But good to know, for when I do get a 360.
Wake me when it's down to 9.99. Or 2.99. Might be worth it then.
Ah to see the lofty fan fiction of Clueless Hudson go down in flames.
Because Hudson told the other writers to fuck off as he wrote THE ENTIRE ENDING BY HIMSELF.
Funny, I was just at a Wal-mart 2 days ago and stopped by the electronics section because every once in a while I can snag a game at 80% off because someone is bein overzealous with the clearance gun. ME3 was 60 dollars. I'm not goin to call you a liar because this seems like a really strange thing to lie about, but I will say your attitude is way unwarranted.
Un huh.
Canadians: Wal-Mart has the same price. And with 97-cent shipping if you want to buy online.
I still won't buy it... actually even if it drops to 5 bucks with all the dlc for free I still won't buy it.
Pretty good deal. I'd bite if I didn't still need to play ME1. Played ME2 on PS3 but only recently got a 360 so didn't have opportunity to play the first game until now.
If this game is $29.99 already, it's got $19.99 written all over it for summer or holiday season.
I saw this as a sign of their declining sales after that whole crap about the ending. Kinda like how Dragon Age 2 sales plummeted after word got out it kinda sucked.
It's been 29.99 at the walmart I work at for weeks now as well. And I live in Canada :O
Sounds like by the time you have a 360, it'll be 30 dollars regular priced.
Wish they would do this for KOAR. Nearly 3 months and the price hasn't dropped a single squid. Even CEX has it at �38!
Do the customers reviews on Amazon really rate Mass Effect 3 with 2 and half stars? Lolol silly bitter fans, anyways great deal! Of couse I already have the game, but I have a few hours to decide if I should get the game as a B-day present for somebody. :P
I don't have the money right now, maybe after another sale.
well actually i have already brought it.
and i'm still waiting for the extended dlc.
it would be nice to see a robocop game sometime
I wouldnt go that far
I own 2 copies, PS3 and PC..I could trade in the PS3 one but then Im not giving up my collectors edion case..also I should hold onto that one for whatever they come up with for the ending
Already have it, and I only paid $35 for a new copy - I lucked out and found an unopened copy being resold at the used price. But yeah, if I didn't already have it, I'd pounce on today's deal.
Is this an ad? It sure was written like one.

Changsha Attractions - Things to Do
Top Things to Do
Mt. Shaoshan
Mawangdui Han Tombs
Hunan Provincial Museum
There are some classic cultural sights to see in Changsha, although it is not a city that is all-encompassing when it comes to heritage and wonder. Some tourists choose Changsha as their transfer point when traveling on to Zhangjiajie, Yueyang, Hengyang or the famous Phoenix Town in the western part of Hunan, so here are some things to do and see whilst there.
Cultural Relics
Mt. Yuelu - The famous Yuelu Academy, located at the foot of the scenic Mt. Yuelu on the west bank of Xiangjiang River, is a 'must-see' attraction in Changsha. Originally built in 976, it has a history of more than one thousand years. Either for its glorious past as a reputed feudal academic school in ancient times, or for being the site of Hunan University today, Yuelu Academy is a place in the city that both tourists and students like to visit while appreciate the charming natural vista of the surrounding mountains.
A walk across the No. 1 Bridge over the Xiangjiang River, just opposite the Yuelu scenic area is the Long Island (Juzi Zhou). In midstream of the Xiangjiang River, it runs almost the entire length of the city and gets the name for its long and narrow sandbank. It was said that Chairman Mao Zedong studied in the No. 1 Normal School here when he was young, and often went swimming in the river or took a walk with friends around the island. Today, a scenic park has been built with a marble monument in the middle with Mao's inscriptions and it is a good place for people to escape the summer heat.
Orange Isle, about 1.2 miles (2 km) from the East Gate of Mt. Yuelu, is located in the center of Xiangjiang River. It is abundant with sweet and delicious oranges, so it is called Orange Isle, or Juzi Island in Chinese. It the biggest inland island in China and is honoured as the "First Island in China". Going there, visitors can wander at the beach park, watch the fountain, statue and fireworks show, and enjoy the beautiful sceneries to relax themselves.
Mt. Shaoshan, over 100 kilometers south-west of Changsha is a significant place for Chinese Communists for it was home to Chairman Mao Zedong. It is a good place to learn more about this great Chinese man. The old houses where he lived, a museum, a monument and other memorial spots are well preserved in the scenic area and create a kind of solemn atmosphere. Chinese come to pay their respects here during the memorial days.
Huaminglou, Liu Shaoqi's Hometown: Liu Shaoqi is the former chairman and one of the founding fathers of the People's Republic of China. At Huaminglou you can not only see his bronze statue, memorial hall, and former residence, but also learn Chinese culture and history.
Historical Sites
The most fantastic historical relic of Changsha should be the well-preserved mummified remains of a Western Han Dynasty woman excavated from Mawangdui Han Tombs. The remains have lasted over more than 2000 years and the skins are still stretchy. Thousands of unearthed relics include silk products, paintings, lacquer works, potteries, bamboo slips used for writing, weapons, herbs, and so on. These are all exhibited in Hunan Provincial Museum.
Another history gift is the ancient porcelain kiln site of Tongguan from the late Tang Dynasty (618 - 907). Many pottery and porcelain works decorated with painting and inscription decorations are excavated. It is recorded that these porcelains and pottery products were exported to neighboring Korean, Japan, Indonesia, Iran and even Egypt.
At the very north end of the city near the No. 2 Xiangjiang Bridge is a Buddhist temple called Kaifu Temple. It was originally built in 927 and is featured in the typical Chinese Buddhist temple architectural style.
There are several parks in the city including Wangyue Park at Jiaxiang Lu, Southern Suburb Park, Xiaoyuan Park to the east of the city center near the railway station and a zoo near the provincial museum.

Style Edit
I've simplified this a bit, I felt a lot of the information could be replaced with links. I still feel this is a bit too 'human' and outside of the trek universe. Tyrant 00:48, 18 May 2005 (UTC)Tyrant
- I agree that it's too human-oriented for the Star Trek universe. Perhaps who knows the TNG episode "Ethics" could shed some light on the Klingon CNS seeing that theirs has distinct differences from a human's own. Some mention of the Vulcan brain would be good in this article too. -- Scimitar 00:56, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi guys, I committed another bug fix around the resolution of DTDs in the catalog. The problem was that the hack defined in the ExtendedCatalogResolver class was not defined at the appropriate level: given the other rules that we have, the underlying CatalogResolver may "change" the DTD it is asked to resolve, and replace it by, say, the XHTML Basic 1.1 DTD. In short, I defined a CommonCatalogResolver class that contains the hack in HTTPXHTMLResource.java. All CatalogResolver now extend this class. And I removed the code from the ExtendedCatalogResolver class. Given how hard is is to get this thing right, there may still remain a bug. Thanks for trying on your local machines!

Sixth sense: Gonzalez simply being selective
He's getting his hits from the No. 6 hole
Adrian Gonzalez said he unraveled no great mystery when he went 3 for 4 with a two-run double that opened the floodgates in the Red Sox' 7-0 win Thursday night over the Baltimore Orioles.
The Gold Glove first baseman, who started in right field for the 11th time this season before shifting to first in the eighth inning, said his performance hitting in the No. 6 hole for the second consecutive game had little to do with his position in Bobby Valentine's lineup.
"Where I hit in the lineup doesn't have anything to do with how I do,'' said Gonzalez, who went 1 for 3 in Wednesday night's 2-1 loss to the Orioles. "It doesn't have anything to do with anything else, either. It's just finding hits, and balls finding holes.''
As far as Gonzalez was concerned, his performance was no more complicated than that. But Valentine suggested it was the result of Gonzalez's concerted effort to take the first pitch, especially when he came to the plate with two out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the first. Gonzalez ripped a double down the line in right, scoring Dustin Pedroia, who had walked, and Kevin Youkilis, who reached on a single to left.
"He took the first two pitches,'' Valentine said. "He's been swinging at that first pitch so often with men in scoring position that he hasn't gotten into the at-bat. He got into the at-bat tonight and got RBIs on a double down the line and followed that up with all good at-bats.''
Gonzalez, however, disagreed with his manager.
"It had nothing to do with taking pitches,'' Gonzalez said. "I've been taking the first pitch, for what - the last 5, 6, 7 games. The next pitch was a ball, but I was ready to swing after the first pitch. Nothing changed.''
The double was Gonzalez's 21st of the season, which leads the American League.
"He's going to hit regardless,'' David Ortiz said of Gonzalez. "He's a good hitter. We all walk into that kind of stuff, but we always figure a way to get out of it.''
Asked how he felt Gonzalez had handled being pushed down in the lineup, Ortiz said, "Sometimes you need that kind of stuff, so you can take some pressure off. With guys like Adrian and myself, pitchers try not to make mistakes against us, so we got to be patient. I think once you walk into that spot, you just try to stay up [at bat] longer.''
Gonzalez, who also singled and scored in the third inning, felt gratified the Sox offense was able to help Clay Buchholz one night after giving Josh Beckett just one run of support.
"A lot of people put a lot of emphasis on late runs in tight games,'' Gonzalez said. "But if you give an early lead to a pitcher then they can get into a groove and work on getting ahead of hitters and Buch did an unbelievable job. It was nice to get the runs for him, but it would've been nice to be able to do it for Josh, because he threw a hell of a game.''
After his performance Thursday night, Gonzalez repeated his simple mantra when asked what he had worked on.
"Finding holes,'' he said.

I love this song. Excellent cover.
Sometimes you listen to a song, it sounds so familiar but you just can't put your finger on it. Then realize (with a bit of horror) it's an Arcade Fire remake and you (don't throw anything sharp) .......like it better than the original....
What an amazing Arcade Fire cover!
#finaljams If Underworld's "Beaucoup Fish" album had a baby with Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs" album, this would be the product. (the synthesizer is pretty much stripped directly from Underworld's song Cups)
Great cover...
I think this just blew my mind a little.

Primer concentration - stupid question - (Jun/04/2013 )
I've odered primers from IDT.
In the IDT FAQ it is suggested to add 10 microliters of water per 1 nanomole to obtain 100 µM concentration. But in my calculations the final concentration is 1µM/µL. Am I wrong somwhere? How can you possibly get micromoles (10-6) from nanomoles (10-9) by dilution?
This is the link to the IDT manual http://www.idtdna.com/pages/support/technical-vault/faq/application-support/storage/faqs/2011/06/01/how-do-i-reconstitute-my-oligos-to-a-10%C2%B5m-concentration-
Thank for help!
You are confusing moles with molar. 1 molar (1 M) is 1 mole per liter. The IDT instructions are 1 nanomole per 10 microliters, which is 10**-9 moles/ 10**-5 liters, or 10**-4 molar, or 100 uM.
Thank you!
Now it is clear. So molar concentration is always per liter?
Yes, Molar concentrations are always per litre -it's the SI unit. It is a bit of an unfortunate thing that biologists (including myself) have gotten into using the "M" symbol for mol/l as it is quite confusing until you know the convention.

Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Nice work but a cautionary
Nice work but a cautionary tale follows.
I made a few top down cardigans for babies and thought I would do an adult version. For me it was a big mistake. By the time I was finished my hands and wrists were in such a bad state from carrying all the weigth in my hands that I had to stop knitting for over a month to let them recover.
Someone who has done several of these sweaters says that the way around this issue is to do the following. Knit the pattern as it says. Usually to put the sleeves on waste yarn to work after the body is finished. Do this and start working the body. After about 2" (or the end of a pattern repeat if there is one) put the body on some waste yarn and pick up and work the sleeves. Once the sleeves are finished work the rest of the body.
She and I agree that the fiddliest part is the sleeve and this is where the greatest strain is put on the hands and wrists so it is better to do them with the least amount of weight possible.
Good luck.
Tucking the bulk of the
Tucking the bulk of the sweater under your left arm spares one this strain problem. I usually knit sleeves directly onto the body, even when I don't knit top down. Holding the weight of the sweater with your armpit enables me to avoid the problem you mention. Since the sleeves are knit in the round, one has to untwist the work every few rows.
This is adorable! John
This is adorable!

Special times in Durham happen for most of us, often. Extra special times come around only every now and then. Now is one of those times.
This whole month all across our city and county, thousands of us are reading Something for the Pain, by Durham ER Doctor Paul Austin. What a great book! We watch ER and Grey's Anatomy and now Mercy, but in this book we have real-life insights into life and work surrounding the busy and stressful Durham Regional Hospital emergency room.
Library staff in all our locations decked out this week in doctor's scrubs we made up specially for this month of community reading and programs and discussion. Sunday, I had the pleasure to attend the program "For Better or For Worse: When Your Spouse Has a Stressful Job." What a wonderful kickoff program with Monica Barnes moderating a panel including Sally Austin, Nicole Marsalis, John McCallie, and Paula Flood, each one of whose famous spouses has a stressful job that of course creates challenges back on the home front.
The month is chock full of great programs and events. Take a look at our Durham Reads Together web page at http://www.durhamcountylibrary.org/drt/ to see the full list. Dr. Austin is attending many of the programs and will be at Durham Tech on October 22 and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens on November 1.
Coming up next is "Faith and Healing" with Dr. Lori Carter-Edwards of the Duke Medical Center and Dr. Susan Dunlap of Duke Divinity School this Saturday morning at East Regional Library. See you there or at one of the yoga sessions every Monday evening this month at Parkwood Library!

Discussion in 'Critique Forum Archives' started by Moni, Oct 7, 2004.
He's lost everything with flood !!!
those are great portraits! I like his expression -Moni great job.
Moni, you truly do have great talent in capturing people in their element. Great job!
Am I visually challenged or am I the only one to see that both photos are blurred and are having serious light issues?
If find particularly the first one way too dark and would so much prefer to see this man's eyes. But one is all lost in the deep shadows that the bright sunlight is producing and the other barely to be seen.
Plus it seems like the focus is on the wall behind him.
This isn't saying that they're not TOUCHING by their very message (which, however, you had to give us in words to accompany these two photos, Moni), and the man looks quite proud, despite what has happened to him, especially in the second photo (where you look up to him).
But I find they are both having technical issues.
Must I not say this? This is the Critique Forum, after all, isn't it?
To be honest, LaFoto, I'm staring at a monitor that has a huge glare on it right now. I'll be able to see it better in the afternoon, but you are probably right.
It Monis style, his images IMO have an old look to them. Would love to see some print on heavy paper.
Maybe you should've saved thesse for the emotions contest this month. You can read exactly what he's thinking. Great shots!!
Very powerful! I like the fact that theyre not 'perfect'
Forgive me if I disagree here, Hobbes.
Had Moni not told us about this man's fate beforehand, but had let us know that this one's the proud owner of a herd of 60 goats who he all saved from the flood because of his foresight and wisdom, we'd have see THAT emotion in his face!
And Moni, you know that I am a great, great fan of your photography. You bring pictures into our world that we otherwise don't get to see - or if at all, then only in news broadcasts. Yours are sooo much more personal. And I do appreciate that. Plus you know that I am a particular fan of your country for some special reason...
But I still think that these two photos - your style or not - do have some serious technical issues. The main being that they are blurred. The other that this man's eyes can't be seen. But that is only my opinion. Critique is also personal opinion, of course.
This looks like a tough exposure as the man is so dark, to expose for his face one cannot help but overexpose the background. Their is much concern in his face. I would have liked to see his face better exposed and to hell with the background, but then again the side of his face may get blown out. I stll like the picture wish there were more pictures like that one posted here.
