Main :: POD X3
by yard on 2009-05-01 09:52:09.4000
I have a question.
I've got POD X3 PRO, and use USB connection. Unfortunately during playback I hear clicks and pops.
I have read about this issue to other models POD, but I didn't find nothing for me.
I don't use USB hub - POD is connected directly to computer. There is USB1.1+2.0 turn on in BIOS.
OS is Windows XP (32 bit, SP3) on PC and computer has these components:
- nForce3 250Gb chipset on GA-K8NSC-939 mainboard,
Can someone help me and write what I should do?

This document may help.
I for one had the problem when I first started using Line6 products and their support told me that there was a chipset incompatibility between certain chipsets and the solution for me was the PCI USB card - cost me $10 and the problem was solved but this documents has other advice that may help also as well as what I just mentioned.

There are several things you can try to eliminate clicks and pops.
1. Fill out your support profile at http://line6.com/account/supportProfile/
2. Ensure that you have tested all cables to make sure that they are not defective (USB, audio, etc.)
3. Ensure that you have all cables connections set up properly
4. Adjust the Buffer Slider in the Line 6 Audio MIDI Control Panel. (Windows Users: Start/All Programs/Line6/Tools/Audio-MIDI Devices; Mac Users: System Preferences/Other/Audio-MIDI Devices)
5. Adjust Sample Rates and Bit Depths in the Line 6 Audio MIDI Control Panel and ensure that the Sample Rates and Bit Depth settings in the Line 6 Audio MIDI Control Panel also match the project settings in your DAW/recording application
6. Ensure that you have the Line 6 device set up in your operating system as the main input/output device (sound card); disable internal sound card in your operating system's Device Manager control panel
7. Ensure that your Line 6 USB Device is not connected to a powered USB hub; direct USB ports are required and please try ALL available direct USB ports during the troubleshooting process
8. Remove all non-essential USB peripherals from the computer (not the mouse or keyboard)
9. Disable any wireless cards on computer in Device Manager
10. Set Power Schemes on computer in Control Panel (PC Only) to Always On
11. There are also several other tips and optimizations you can make on your PC. Please refer to the following document for more information:
Please try all of the above first and let us know if you continue to have any more problems. Thanks!

first I would like to thanks for answers.
Follow sugestions I have done each one. I inserted new PCI USB 2.0 card with VIA chipset and the issue seems more bad.
POD has no logical connect - error number 10 appeared. It is very strange - is the PCI card a kind of hub?
Next, I checked each cable. It is simple because I use original USB cable inluded to POD, and headphones AKG 240MKII only.
Next, I set every option in Windows as Line6Miller wrote. POD is main input/output device (my old sound card has been removed).
Next, I adjusted the buffer, sample rates and bit depths in the Line 6 Audio MIDI Control Panel.
I didn't launch DAW/recording application because the problem is occuring in Windows - during playback in each application (ex. Winamp).
POD is connected directly - not through hub. POD is the one USB devices connected to computer.
I don't have wireless cards.
I use mouse and keyboard on PS2 adapter.
The issue is still occuring and I may say: "I still haven't found what I'm looking for".
by Hey_Joe on 2009-05-04 16:15:11.5630
Is the X3P new? Can it be exchanged during a 30 day satisfaction warrantee to see if you have a bad unit?
Seems like you have bent over backwards to get it to work with your system and your specs look to be in excess of the basic requirements.
So many of us wouldn't be using them if they didn't work as a general rule of the thumb so I can't help but think there is some kind of hardware issue with this X3Pro
What do you think Mr. Miller?
Bad Pod? -- Exchange for a diferent one if it's still new?
by AParedes on 2009-05-05 09:42:48.0990
Error code 10 is usually seen when trying to plug a USB 2 device into a USB 1.x port. Try using a different computer with USB 2.0 ports installed internally to see if this fixes your situation.

I tried different computer and there were no clicks and pops. I was looking for reason this situation and comparing computers.
After all I found answer. A power supply unit was a cause of the problem.
I write about it for others users. This case can help somebody in the future.
Once again I would like to thanks for help.

I'm happy that you found a solution and can start enjoying all the best of your X3P now!
I would appreciate it if you could be more specific so I can use your situation to direct others to in the future.
Was the power supply to the Pod bad?
Was the power supply to the first computer causing the problem and how so?
by yard on 2009-05-12 15:36:33.1640
A power supply unit (power pack) inside computer was a cause of the problem.
My computer had cheap power supply "Take me" and maybe each disruption to the electricity network was causing it?
I have changed this one with "Tagan" and cliks have disappeared.
by Hey_Joe on 2009-05-12 16:11:05.6340
There have been so many causes for audio problems written about since I first joined this community 4 years ago when I bought my XTL, so I probably missed reading about this one - but I will keep it mind for advice the next time I read about someone who has exhausted the possibilities when tracking down the pops and clicks.
Thanks and I'm glad you are up and running now.

The American Cancer Society is working every day to save lives and get closer to a world with more birthdays. This year, 11 million cancer survivors in the United States will celebrate another birthday, thanks to the progress the Society has made. You and your family and friends can join the movement to create a world with more birthdays by helping your American Cancer Society save lives.
Together with millions of volunteers, the American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more birthdays by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures and by fighting back. Every day, there are opportunities for people, like you, to make a meaningful difference.
Consider giving a cancer patient a ride to chemotherapy. Put together a team for your local American Cancer Society Relay For Life or send an email to family and friends about our cancer screening guidelines. Contact your elected officials to advocate for legislation that fights cancer. Help further the Society's research efforts by enrolling in Cancer Prevention Study-3, one of the nation's largest studies to better understand what causes or prevents cancer. These are all ways you can get involved in the Society's lifesaving mission. Many volunteers with the American Cancer Society work in support of programs centered on the Society's top priorities and provide valuable services to people who need our help.
The American Cancer Society began its research program in 1946 and has since devoted more than $3.5 billion to lifesaving cancer research, establishing the Society as the nation's largest non-governmental source of cancer research funds. The Society is currently supporting 935 grants at leading medical schools, universities, and research institutions throughout the country, for a total of more than $464 million.
An amazing 44 investigators supported by the Society early in their careers have gone on to receive a Nobel Prize, the most prestigious award for scientific achievement. The Society is currently funding 30 research grants totaling more than $16.5 million in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
One Society research grant recipient, Dr. Herbert Chen of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was awarded the prestigious American Cancer Society MEN2 Thyroid Cancer Professorship to study medullary thyroid cancer. MEN2 refers to a gene mutation that leads to a rare form of inherited medullary thyroid cancer. Dr. Chen has also been chosen by the Society to lead the national MEN2 Thyroid Cancer Consortium. He will oversee a program granting multiple research scholarships and postdoctoral fellowship grants over five years.
The Cancer Prevention Study-3(CPS-3) gives volunteers and staff the opportunity to become part of a historic research project in their own communities, and to participate in research that they help to fund. CPS-3 is entering an exciting new phase which will include enrollment opportunities at corporate partners and health care providers, as well as Relay For Life events. For more information on CPS-3 visit cancer.org/cps3 or call 1.888.604.5888.
Researchers supported by the American Cancer Society have contributed to major advances in cancer research that have had significant impact on cancer detection, treatment, and prevention. Thanks to federal funding for cancer research, we are seeing progress in developing better screening tools and treatments for all cancers. Congress is currently considering reductions in funding. The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is working to ensure that the federal agencies overseeing cancer research and programs receive the money they need to continue the battle against this disease.
Across the nation, the American Cancer Society provides ordinary people an extraordinary opportunity to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. They help empower people everywhere to fight cancer in their communities and to work with lawmakers to make our community a healthier place to live.
There are many ways to help create a world with more birthdays. Learn more ideas and join the movement at morebirthdays.com, or call your American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.
Becki Jo Shuey is the co- chair for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Grundy County (RelayForLife.org/grundycountyia).

EEOICPA CIRCULAR NO. 12-14 July 27, 2012
SUBJECT: The Feed Material Production Center (FMPC) Special Exposure Cohort Class (SEC) from January 1, 1968 through December 31, 1978.
The purpose of this Circular is to notify all Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) staff of the SEC class designation for the FMPC in Fernald, Ohio.
Pursuant to the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) and 42 C.F.R. Part 83, a petition was filed on behalf of workers from the FMPC, in Fernald, Ohio, to be added to the SEC.
NIOSH evaluated the petition under 42 C.F.R § 83.13 and submitted a report of its evaluation findings to the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health ("the Board"). On May 29, 2012, the Board submitted recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to add to the SEC a class of employees who worked at the FMPC, in Fernald, Ohio.
On June 27, 2012, the Secretary of HHS designated the following class for addition to the SEC in a report to Congress:
All employees of DOE, its predecessor agencies, and their contractors, or subcontractors who worked at the Feed Materials Production Center(FMPC) in Fernald, Ohio, from January 1, 1968 through December 31, 1978, for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under this employment, or in combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more other classes of employees included in the Special Exposure Cohort
A copy of the Secretary's letter to Congress recommending the designation is included as Attachment 1. Although Congress had the authority to reject the recommendation within a 30-day time frame, Congress took no action. Therefore, the SEC designation for this class became effective as of July 27, 2012, which was 30 days after the Secretary of HHS designated the class for addition to the SEC in the report to Congress.
To qualify under this SEC class, the employee must be an employee of the DOE, an employee of one of its predecessor agencies, or a contractor or subcontractor who has worked at least 250 workdays at the FMPC, in Fernald, Ohio from January 1, 1968 through December 31, 1978. If the employee does not have 250 workdays at the FMPC during the period of the class, the case file must be reviewed to determine if additional days in the SEC can be found by combining days from employment meeting the criteria for other SEC classes and aggregating them together to meet the 250-workday requirement.
While a new SEC class has been added for employees at the FMPC, NIOSH intends to use any available internal and external monitoring data that may become available for an individual claim (and that can be interpreted using existing NIOSH dose reconstruction processes or procedures). This means that for claims that do not satisfy the SEC membership criteria, a partial dose reconstruction is to be performed by NIOSH.
A copy of the NIOSH letter to affected FMPC employees is included as Attachment 2.
This Circular should be used in conjunction with EEOICPA Bulletin 11-07, Special Exposure Cohort Claim Processing. A screening worksheet is included as Attachment 3.
As outlined in EEOICPA BULLETIN NO. 11-07, the district offices are to use the comprehensive list provided as the basis for an initial screening of cases associated with all SEC classes. For screening only, the results reflected on the initial screening worksheet must be recorded in ECS using the NIOSH Causation Path. From the NIOSH Causation Path on the case, the 'View/Perform SEC Screening' window is selected. Based on the result of the review and in accordance with the 'SEC Class Screening Worksheet', the appropriate result of "Likely SEC" or "Unlikely SEC" or "SEC Development Needed" is selected. The date of the signed worksheet is recorded in the date field. The reason associated with the SEC is selected in the "Initial SEC Screening Reason" field. For this SEC, the reason is "Rvwd per Circular 12-14, Feed Materials Production Center (FMPC) SEC (1/1/68-12/31/78)." If the CE determines that the case is going to be awarded based an SEC, a positive SEC causation path must be entered into ECS. This process is the equivalent of the SER/SEF codes discussed in Bulletin 11-07.

M7.7 Canada west coast earthquake
I just woke up to this on the email ticker. I have no idea what it did. However, this is right on the big subduction zone, and is an excellent foreshock for an M9. That being said, the odds are something like 1% that this leads to something bigger. That's what got the Italians in trouble!

When looking at an object, we make continuous quick, sharp eye movements, known as "saccades", across it. Our eyes flick all over the object, fixating different parts of it rather than just fixating one pertinent area. To discern any finer detail of an object we need to fixate it in the centre of our visual field, as it is in the centre of the retina where the highest concentration of cone cells are located (this area is known as the fovea and it is very small). This high concentration of cells elicits a greater spatial acuity, and thus finer detail is discerned.
We have no real control over the saccadic eye movements that occur when we look at an object as it is an autonomic process mediated by the superior colliculus visual pathway. However, you can notice yourself performing these continuous eye movements if you look at an object. So, to look at an object, we take many different "samples" across it, and store this information in visual memory to produce a representation in our minds.
When the superior colliculus is damaged or disrupted, a person loses the ability to make autonomic eye saccades. This produces a situation where the sufferer has to consciously control all their eye movements. So, they lose the ability to automatically focus their attention on important stimuli. They also lose the ability to make saccadic eye movements over an object. This produces great problems in that they can only focus their highly sensitive area of visual field on one small part of an object, and therefore they only able to distinguish finer detail on a very small scale.
This is a problem in itself, but a greater problem can arise from the physiological nature of the photoreceptor cells on the retina. Photoreceptor cells contain pigment chemicals that react to light falling on them. This is how they react and send impulses when light is incident on them. However, the pigment chemicals can become "bleached" if the same amount and type (e.g., wavelength) of light is incident on them for a certain length of time. When the pigment chemicals become bleached, the cell no longer responds to light stimuli. This is why the eye moves continuously - doing so changes the amount and type of light incident on the photoreceptor cells due to the shifting around of the visual field.
In supra-nuclear palsy sufferers, the ability to make these automatic movements is lost and as a consequence, the sufferer's photoreceptor cells become bleached and unresponsive if they look at the same object for too long. This results in an eventual loss of all sight when looking at an object.
Bleaching of the photoreceptor cells is only temporary and is recoverable, so the condition can be controlled by the sufferer continuously making an conscious effort to move their eyes. This must be a very hard thing to do. In many ways, I imagine that this is like having to remember to conduct some other automatic process, like breathing.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 2 – Intermediate)
Topic: Anger (01/24/05)
TITLE: Fire in the Soul
By KAREN FASIG
The blue-faced tirade continued for another fifteen minutes. Doesn't she ever run out of breath? I watched in horror as the veins on her neck threatened to burst. Talk about uncontrollable anger; I never knew vocal cords could create that much volume. She'll be hoarse for a week. The fire that flashed from her eyes singed my heart.
Maybe I should turn around and walk away. No, that'll probably make her madder. I guess it's better to stand here and take the verbal abuse hoping it'll pass soon. Ice began to surround my emotions and deafness overtook my ears. Life is sure going to be tough living with this shrew.
I didn't notice the change right away. Then one day it hit me, she isn't screaming anymore. No matter what I do she doesn't yell. I took a closer look and discovered a myriad of subtle changes I hadn't noticed before. She seemed to smile more, she laughed more, and the lines in her face had softened. There was something very different about this woman I'd married.
The question entered my mind, when did all this take place? Pondering this question for awhile I decided it had started with her attending church. I vaguely remembered her telling me about meeting Jesus Christ. She'd invited me to church on several occasions and I'd thought about it, but God didn't have anything to offer me.
The ice around my emotions began to melt as the transformation from shrew to saint continued.
The smile inched up the corners of her mouth as she discussed the problems of the day. I tried to focus on the words, but my thoughts kept wandering to the inner beauty that shown from her eyes. No matter what trouble we'd had over the last years she'd always kept a smile in her heart and a kind word of encouragement for me.
Not to say that she doesn't get angry, believe me she does, but it is an anger that is directed toward correcting whatever the problem is, not one of vengeance and regret. I praise God for this woman he gave me, and that he changed that fire in her soul from anger, to a love for the things of God, because without her meeting Jesus so long ago and standing on his promises, I'd be headed for hell.
Corinthians 7:13 - And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
Corinthians 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? … KJV

Exclusive: Bruce Dern's next movie is from Denver director
Actor Bruce Dern will follow his Oscar-nominated role in "Nebraska" with "The Boat Builder" by Denver author and political strategist Arnie Grossman.
Filming on the movie is expected to begin in April in the Los Angeles area, with a 25-day shooting schedule and a budget of $2 million.
"I'd love to do it in Colorado," Dern said, "but your lakes aren't big enough."
"The Boat Builder" tells the story of Abner, a retired captain in his 70s who longs to return to the sea. He occupies his time by working on the frame of a sailboat that he wants to finish and sail across the Pacific Ocean.
Abner (played by Dern) finds himself befriending a boy about 10 years old who's been shuttled between a series of foster homes.
The conflict comes from townspeople who ridicule Abner's boat-building project, and his daughter's desire that he move into a home for senior citizens. The boy, Rick, has his own problems; his aunt and uncle want to put him in a home for troubled children.
"A lot of Arnie's material is about the endurance for putting up with an inability to be accepted for the dreams you still have," said Dern, who won the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival last year for his role as Woody Grant in "Nebraska," and finds out Sunday if he wins an Oscar.
"And much like Woody in 'Nebraska,' he doesn't need to be put in a home," he said. "He just needs something to live for. That's exactly what Arnie's movie is about. A guy has something he wants to live for."
Grossman, who's known around town for his work on political campaigns dating to Pat Schroeder's successful run for the U.S. House of Representatives representing Denver, is revising the screenplay and will direct "The Boat Builder," which is based on a novel he wrote that's now circulating around New York publishing houses.
Grossman last year formed a production company, called Reunion Films LLC, and will produce the movie along with Dern's new production company, Privately Public.
Grossman's credits include two novels he co-wrote with former Colorado Gov. Dick Lamm, the nonfiction book "One Nation Under Guns: An Essay on an American Epidemic." He's also written an episode of "The Love Boat," co-produced a television movie that starred Jaclyn Smith, written and directed episodes of the reality program "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol," and, he said, "hundreds of political and advertising commercials."
Grossman reached out to Dern last year about "The Boat Builder," after seeing a trailer for "Nebraska."
"I was sitting between two friends and they both elbowed me when Bruce came on the screen and they said, 'That's Abner.' I thought: they're right," Grossman said. "I quickly saw the movie and I took a chance."
Grossman, who said he's "not someone who gets phone calls returned within the Hollywood system because I'm not known to the players there in spite of my résumé," found a number for Dern's agent, rehearsed a 35-second pitch about "The Boat Builder" and made the call.
He pitched the movie to the agent's voice mail and, surprisingly, received a return call 10 minutes later. Grossman emailed the script to Dern's agent, who read it and passed it along to Wendy Guerrero, Dern's partner in Privately Public, and then it landed in Dern's hands.
Nine days after emailing the script, Grossman had a deal with Dern to star.
"That is like a lightning strike," Grossman said. "I wouldn't want to tell other screenwriters it happens this easily. Something aligned. The timing was good. The story had a particular appeal to him. I have to say it was timing and good luck."
Dern said he's not concerned about Grossman's lack of experience in directing feature films. Haskell Wexler, the Oscar-winning cinematographer, with whom Dern worked on the 1978 film "Coming Home," has signed on to film "The Boat Builder."
"I'm not going to direct the movie, but I could certainly help," Dern said. "Haskell could certainly help. My producer, Wendy, could certainly help. We have a team of people involved in the movie who know how to make a movie, who have made a movie. I'm not worried about Arnie."
Grossman said he expects to have the movie ready to show by the start of July. After that, plans call to take "The Boat Builder" on the film festival circuit to line up a distributor. Both he and Dern have no doubt the movie will find an audience.
"It's not the kind of movie that's going to be No. 1 on the weekly box office. Of course not," Grossman said. "But I think it will have a niche for itself."

The Indonesian education system is immense and diverse. It reflects aspects of its past, with a diverse ethnic and religious heritage, and a struggle for national identity.
Having made impressive progress in widening access to basic education, Indonesia must now consolidate these gains and develop an education system that will support better the needs of a rapidly emerging economy in its transition towards high-income status. This report provides guidance on how Indonesia can rise to this challenge. It highlights three main policy directions which, pursued together, would help Indonesia advance on the path towards stronger growth and more inclusive and sustainable development. The first priority is to raise the quality of education and ensure that all learners acquire the skills they need to succeed in life and work. The second goal is to widen participation, requiring a concerted effort to improve access for disadvantaged groups and expand provision beyond the basic level. The final challenge is to increase efficiency, with a more data-driven approach to resource allocation, better tailoring of provision to local needs, and stronger performance management.

Trish Robbins - vocals; Jill Bergman - vocals; Bridgely ? - vocals
Not much is known about this Bay Area band that featured multiple female vocalists, except they were funky and trippy all in the same breath. The group owed a considerable debt to the Jefferson Airplane/ Starship, so it was no surprise when they were added to a multiple-night, triple bill at Bill Graham's Winterland Auditorium that featured the classic line-up of Starship, along with Country Joe McDonald as the middle act.
Mirrors opens the show with "Part time Lover," an energetic rocker that sounds equal parts early Jefferson Airplane and progressive jazz fusion. Most of the other songs in this set are title-less, but position the band as a mix between the Slick-oriented Starship and the more funk-driven sound of Cold Blood, yet another legendary band from SF.
On "Your Love Is Haunting Me" they again try to get funky when the song was really designed to be a ballad. This is a story about a bitter lover who is angry at a departed loved one that died unexpectedly.
The rest of the show features two band originals: "I've Been Holding Back" and "Get On The Right Track," written with the inspiration of James Browns' "Get on the Good Foot." They end the show with a homogenized version of the Four Tops' comeback hit "Are You Man Enough?"
The little success that Mirrors saw during 1974 and '75 was centered around the band's life in Northern California. They recorded a few singles for Capitol Records but any album they may have recorded is long since out of print. Still, this recording for the Bill Graham archives exists and should give fans a good idea as to the musical identity of the Mirrors.

Thanks to its recent release on DVD and Blu-ray, I've had Universal's remake of The Wolfman on my brain lately. I think the extra sixteen minutes added to the unrated cut of the film are a marked improvement on the overall film; not necessarily because they add much needed depth to the core characters, but because the padded run time finally just lets the movie breathe. The theatrical cut had a number of problems, sure, but its most systemic fault was a break neck rush to the end credits. That particular problem is now, more or less, solved.
Improvements to the film aside, some of the making-of featurettes really helped reinforce two elements of Joe Johnston's film I already loved. The first being Rick Baker's makeup effects, which are far more prolific than I initially realized (I think knowing that the transformations would be all CGI tainted just how much of the Wolfman I thought was digital). The second gem of the film is none other than Sir. Anthony Hopkins. So in honor of the great, grizzled knight/actor, I'd like to kick off a (hopefully recurring) new feature at Horror Squad highlighting actors who keep the genre classy. How exactly do you define classy? I'm not sure, to be honest. It's like porn, you just know it when you see it.

Burned badly by a couple, devastated, desperately need support
I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this. I apologize for the length, just want to include all the details. 6 months after getting out of a 4 year mono relationship, I met a couple online that showed interest in pursuing a relationship with me. I dont know if it is relevant to the users here, but I am a 25 year old gay man.
I had never considered polyamory before, but I decided to give it a chance and live in the moment, try something new. The couple had been together for 5 years, and expressed to me that they were unfulfilled sexually and emotionally, and that is why they sought me out. According to them i am the first one they have included in their relationship, but they both said if it didnt work with me they would seek out another, i feel they r using people to prolong their failing relationship. Obviously not the best foundation for polyamory.
But for three months, it was bliss. Heaven. I never knew I could experience something so intense so quickly. I'll call them bob and jay. They showered me with affection and made me feel like the only man in the world. Bob sought me out initially, unhappy with jay. I fell deeply in love with jay, and him with me. Neither of us ever expected such a connection. I think this may be a flaw in this relationship style, as the third wheel how am expected to feel the same way about both of them and be equally attracted all the time? Needless to say, Bob noticed this imbalance as much as i tried to compensate for it, that me and jay had developed a connection that was beginning to rival his own with his boyfriend. One night he exploded at me bc I wouldn't get into bed with him, and literally kicked me out of his apartment at 3am, and has never talked to me again since. It was literally as if a toddler was having a temper tantrum, mind u bob is 38 and jay is 28. Bob banned jay from seeing me, and is already online looking for my replacement. Bob never even gave me an explanation, just used me until he was done then cut me off.
Oh and here's a kicker. He was HIV positive, and never told me until it was too late. We always used protection, but I am anxiously awaiting the day that I can get a definitive test. Bob had lied to jay and told him that I was aware of they're HIV status. The time I spent with them could effect me for the rest of my life, could be the death of me, making it so much harder to let go. My instinct told me to run when I found out about this lie, but the NRE and their promises to love me and support me forever caused an enormous error in judgement on my part. I will always regret it, although by the time i found out i believed it was too late. Anyway, my problem is, I am still in love with jay. I didnt believe in love at first sight until I met him. He told me he would be willing to be my friend in time, but bob makes him feel guilty for even speaking to me. I was cut off without so much as an explanation.
It's so frustrating bc I saw how bob treated jay during those three months, like crap, telling him he was never even attracted to him and that he feels him to be just a friend. If a boyfriend told me he never felt an attraction to me ever, it would be over for me. Yet jay is choosing to stay with him because of their long history. I basically begged jay to give life with me a chance, to no avail. I dont know what I'm looking for by typing this, maybe just some kind of support bc I have been all alone in this. I'm devastated. I truly love jay, and feel so used by bob, he discarded me like a rag doll without so much as an explanation.
Jay told me he saw a life with me, and I saw it too. I put my heart on the line and it was crushed, i just can't understand if what he said he felt for me is true, and if his boyfriend has said he is sharing a bed with his best friend, why won't jay take a chance with me? I realized that trying to maintain a friendship with him was causing him lots of distress bc bob is making him feel like he is doing something wrong by even speaking to me, so I told him i am stepping away and giving him space, to which he said contact him when I am ready to be friends. Even if he cant be my boyfriend I want him in my life in some capacity regardless of how much it hurts, that's how much i care for him as a person, but if bob gets his way I will disappear and they can move on to their next victim. I am sorry if this post is too long and I hope it makes sense. The heartbreak is crippling, I risked so much and was tossed aside for reasons I can't comprehend. I can't eat or sleep, or barely even move. I spent almost every day with them for 3 months, it was so intense and I saw how bob treated jay, taking him for granted completely. I know what I have with him could be so amazing.
Am I being selfish? Should I just let jay go and not even bother with a friendship? I've never clicked with someone so well on every level, emotional physical and ideologically, and he has said the same thing to me, that I am everything he has ever wanted in a person. It's almost as if he prefers suffering that is familiar rather than the unknown, which kills me bc I risked and gave up so much to be with him. Is this an inevitable end in dating a couple? Is it really possible as a third wheel to be equally attracted to both members of a couple and maintain it over time? I feel so naive. I don't want to loose jay, even if it's just a friendship, but bob has told me to get out of his life and leave his boyfriend alone, who he is now clinging to after learning my true feelings for him. Hes clinging to jay even though in the brief time i knew them i talked him out of dumping jay to be with me at least 4 times. Anyway, I sincerely thank anyone that takes the time to read this and give me any kind of advice. The pain is almost too much for me to bear. Thanks everyone. I tried to include all relevant details, I hope I didn't go overboard. Any words would help me right now.

Southend are set to sign Chelsea midfielder Anthony Grant in a permanent deal.
"We've been talking to Granty and are expecting him to come in and sign for us," said boss Steve Tilson.
"We obviously had him with us on loan towards the end of last season, so we know what he's about and it's a good signing for us.
"He can play in a couple of positions as well, which helps when you only have a small squad like we do."
If Grant's deal is completed in time he could make his debut against Peterborough on Saturday.

This project is to develop an upstairs space in a CrossFit gym to be a new biking class using assault bikes. This space will also be used for exercise to music classes, martial arts and a bouldering wall for climbing.
The space requires insulated and partitioned, would need to purchase the Assault bikes which are £800 each and air conditioning would be fitted.
Claymore CrossFit is the gym downstairs from the space which is running with a good membership base and will only compliment the classes that will be running.

This is Cabela after her first hunting excursion this past Saturday. She is 9 weeks old today.
Fine looking pup, and she looks right at home with those geese and that duck. May you both have many an adventure afield for many years to come, take care,
Good looking pup!
I bought a Choc Lab, this past Sunday, (six weeks old).
Little Pooch-Pooch!
I have a new wallpaper, thanks!
Good looking pup showing a lot of restraint. My 2.5 year old DD would be chewing on those birds. ;Q
That is a good looking dog! I have a 4 year old black Lab, and I regret that I had her spayed and never bred her. She has a terrific bloodline, and carries all three colors in her genes.
Here she is at about one year:
Great looking dogs. That pup picture is great!
I have a 7 year old chocolate now. Absolutely the best dog I've ever had and I've had 5 good ones. She thinks she's in heaven whenever she's wet. Rugged and very low maintenance.
Good looking pup! I love that name, Cabela! Gonna name the next one Basspro or Redhead!;f Sorry couldn't resist!
OK, since this is turning into a puppy pic thread, here is Reba. She's a Deutsch Drahthaar, 2.5 years old. This was Sat on a pheasant hunt. She's locked up solid on a hen that was about 4' away from her. It eventually ended up in my vest when I was done taking pics. LOL
Great looking dogs!
I miss my hunting lab in Ohio. At eight weeks, she was running after birds and hitting the water hard!
Here is my current dog. I could train her to retrieve but she's so agile, the agility trials may be what she digs:
She's part golden retriever and part poodle. A real chick magnet too.
She knows a good dozen commands at 6 months too.
Love her!
y'all with the chocolate labs need to be careful...this is what they turn into....
btw, i really like that puppy pic with the goose. sharp.
nice dogs everyone
my grandparents have a chocolate lab
he's awesome
slowed down alot in the ast 2 years thought
arthritis,tearing a tendon in its back leg, and runnign into the side of a truck doin 40mph
Man, that is exactly what i am hoping for!
This will make our second chocolate lab, but, this one is being "house broke," the other was an out door only dog. I am finding out just how much Labs love to chew up everything in the house!
This one has the makings of a fine hunter though, if i can get my daughter do do sme pics i'll post 'em.
Fine looking Lab in the pic above...All of them are!
Take care of those dogs boys.
All you can do with indoor dogs is have a ton of chew toys that are theirs alone.
After a couple of obedience class, my girl "knows" that if I grunt at her, to stop whatever she does. Drives my wife crazy because it was "suppposed" to be her dog - she picked her.
But just some basic training and even mouthy dogs line up!
I hear ya duncan. Man our floor is covered with 'chew toys,' yet he finds something else, (usually belonging to my wife), to chew on!
I even hung a small rope from one of the big wooden beams that run across our ceiling and allowed it to hang aboub 5" off the floor with a knot in the end. Man he goes wild on that one. The training is going well though, and he really is learning fast, but he is like a handful of bees on 'rocket fuel' for now. ;g
Now we start on the gun "bang" training.

Bilingual election dificiencies addressed
Published 6:00 pm, Thursday, January 7, 2010
After some complaints three years ago, Hale County has improved its bilingual voting practices over the last few years, a recent federal report stated.
The federal government in February 2006 filed a complaint against Hale County alleging it did not provide enough bilingual poll workers trained to assist Spanish-speaking voters and failed to effectively publicize election information in Spanish.
"There were some complaints about the amount of material that was translated into Spanish, like directional signs, and also the quality of the translation from English into Spanish," said Hale County Attorney Jim Tirey. "This wasn't anything malicious to keep Hispanics from voting."
Also, he said, there were some misunderstandings that people other than poll workers were allowed to help translate when asked.
In April 2006, Hale County entered into an agreement called a consent decree that allowed the U.S. Justice Department to monitor future elections in Hale County and required the county to increase the number of bilingual poll workers, employ a bilingual coordinator and establish a bilingual advisory group.
Hale County has met all those requirements, and the consent decree expired at the end of 2009, the report stated.
"Really from the first election (after the consent decree), everything was taken care of. We didn't have any complaints after that," Tirey said. "We don't have the justice department looking over what we're doing (anymore)."
Tirey produced a handout for poll workers that highlights the requirements.
"Basically, it says to treat everyone the same," he said.
Hale County also hired a bilingual elections coordinator, Richard Castillo, who under the consent degree was required to find qualified bilingual poll workers.
That hasn't been much of a problem, Castillo said, who has been elections coordinator for about a year and four months.
"We've gotten a lot more people to volunteer working as assistants or just poll workers," Castillo said.
But, he said, he could always use more. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact the Hale County clerk's office.
Castillo and his workers build the ballot in both Spanish and English and then record an audio version of the ballot in both languages. Some of the Spanish words located in the amendments can be difficult to record, Castillo said.
"I'd get tongue tied and have to do it again," he said.
Hale County is also developing a Web site, Tirey said. Election information on the Web site will be posted in both English and Spanish.
According to the 2000 Census, Hale County had a total population of 36,602 persons, of whom 47.9 percent were Hispanic. The total citizen voting-age population was 25,532, of whom 41.8 percent were Hispanic. The number of Hispanic voting-age citizens who were limited English proficient was 2,625.

text: I really need to get back to productive tasks as Reinhard suggested. However, just to reassure those who are concerned about a lack of redundancy in BIOSCI - I want to give our BIOSCI colleagues at SERC Daresbury in the U.K. a pat on the back for their unsung work. Alan Bleasby and colleagues are working along side us every day. Most of the posts unfortunately seem to forget that they are carrying their part of this effort on the other side of the pond. We have always planned every move on BIOSCI with some level of redundancy built in and will continue to do so. Everyone should rest assured that if California were to fall into the Pacific Ocean tomorrow, the Daresbury crew would assume responsibility for the entire operation and the reverse would occur if the Spanish Armada suddenly reappeared from the depths of the seas 8-). Steps would then be taken to find a suitable replacement site instead of distributing the lists around the world. As to the long term support of e-mail, we will continue to monitor the situation closely. Right now, close to 60% of the respondents to the last survey (Oct. 92) were already using news. We don't want to leave anyone in the lurch, but on the other hand we don't want to encourage people to persist with comfortable old habits. This unfortunately creates a certain amount of dynamic tension which I don't think should be resolved currently. I would also like to remind everyone that the Daresbury group and our group is charged with the task of administering the system. I do not bullheadedly impose my will singlehandedly on my BIOSCI colleagues. We have both biologists and skilled systems people working at both sites. We talk with each other frequently and would like to believe that we know what we are doing, but we have always been open to constructive suggestions, believe it or not. The final decision on administratve matters should rightfully fall to the people that have to do the work, however. The voting mechanism was designed to select the topics for the newsgroups; it was not designed to tell Daresbury and us how to do the administrative part of our jobs. If, as a result of a groundswell of mail, it became apparent that people were unhappy with how we were performing, then we would certainly change to better serve the community. To date, I have received very little indication that there is widespread unhappiness with BIOSCI; in fact I get mostly letters of support and thanks from all over the globe. Sincerely, Dave "lightening rod" Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager kristoff at net.bio.net

Doolin backs red-hot Byrne to spearhead Euro finals bid
Paul Doolin has backed striker Sam Byrne to respond to his Manchester United release by firing Ireland to the finals of U-19 European Championship.
Byrne scored both goals in Wednesday's 2-1 opening elite qualification victory against Iceland that set up Ireland nicely for tonight's meeting with Turkey at Tallaght Stadium (7.00pm).
His release by United after three years at the club initially impacted on 18-year-old Byrne, according to Doolin, but he has found his rhythm again.
"In fairness, I think the last few games Sam maybe wasn't himself because he has left the biggest club in the world," explained the manager.
"But I spoke to him and I said to him about doing the right things. He certainly looked not a bad player against Iceland.
"Sam has a great record for the U-19s, scoring 10 goals over the last two seasons. Most of those were from last season when he was giving away a year."
Already a few clubs, including Celtic and Everton, have expressed their interest in recruiting Byrne, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Carlisle United under the tutelage of former Ireland international Graham Kavanagh.
Helping Ireland reach the UEFA finals in July would boost his profile even further.
"The three points were the main thing against Iceland and the two goals were a plus, so it was a good night," said Byrne.
"We know we have a chance of qualifying now and playing our three games at home is a big plus."
On his exit from United, Co Kildare native Byrne said: "It is hard to leave a club like United. It's all I have been used to for the last three years but hopefully I can find a new club.
"Though it didn't happen for me at United, I'm a better player for having been there."

On a two-day visit to Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hailed Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for redrawing the Indian map after independence "to give us what it (country) is today".
"If we live in India with pride and our heads held high, it is because of him," Modi said after inaugurating a diamond unit in Surat.
The Prime Minister, who arrived here on Sunday evening, also saluted former Prime Minister Morarji Desai for strengthening the country's economy.
Desai, Modi said, would rejoice to see how the Indian economy was faring now.
"Years ago, this region gave us Morarji Desai, who focused his energies in strengthening the Indian economy. His soul must be celebrating today at the state of the economy," Modi said.
Morarji Desai, who headed the Janata Party government in 1977-79, hailed from south Gujarat.
Referring to the diamond unit he opened, Modi said the country was a leader in diamond polishing industry and it had the potential to be the numero uno in the gems and jewellery sector.
"Enough of just diamond cutting and polishing work. The country has expectations from Surat. Should the country have it or not?" Modi asked after inaugurating a diamond cutting unit of a gems and jewellery firm here.
He said the jewellery designed in the country needs to be promoted across the globe.
"We have become a diamond in diamond cutting. But now we have to be number one in gems and jewellery, and not only 'made in India' jewellery, but 'designed in India' jewellery needs to popularised across the world," Modi said.

Beer and Running

Beer and running are two of my favorite things. Did I start running because I drink beer? Beer isn't necessarily the evil that it's portrayed as. Beer, like red wine, does provide some health benefits. The malt and hops used to make dark beers contain flavonoids, the same heart-healthy compounds in vegetables and wine that counter cell damage, thus reducing your risk of heart disease and cancer. Beer also contains B vitamins and chromium, which aid in … Read entire article »

Newsletter of EFN -
Association of
December 22nd, 2006
This card is musical, turn on the sound of your computer !
Dear friends, members, and
correspondents of EFN,
The Association of
Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy
Wishes you a very Merry Christmas,
and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Do not hesitate to become a local correspondent of EFN in your country or area and to help us develop EFN in your country or local area, by organizing a presentation, a press conference, a lecture tour, site visits, or by helping us translate the web site or the book Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy (the book is presented on line).
2006 was a good year:
EFN-CANADA is now fully active. It is a Canadian federally incorporated not-for-profit association, with Rodney Anderson as President, and our good friend Dr. Patrick Moore (former founder of Greenpeace) as Honorary Chairman. See the new website of EFN-CANADA by clicking on the Canadian flag on http://www.ecolo.org). Download the presentation of EFN-CANADA (in PDF format) to inform your Canadian friends and see the great Board of Directors of EFN-CANADA! Many thanks to Rodney for his hard work in creating EFN-CANADA and for the lecture tour he organized in Ontario in June. A new revised and updated Canadian edition of the book Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy was published in 2006, on the occasion of our lecture tour in June. This new edition (in English) will be used as the original text for future translations in new countries.
EFN-POLAND (SEREN-POLSKA) has also been created this year (in 2006) as an independent not-for-profit Polish association, incorporated in Warsaw. The high-profile Board includes well-known Polish environmentalists, and Members of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowsky is the President of EFN-Poland (see photo on the right). He is one of the world's best radioprotection specialist and the former President of UNSCEAR (United Nations Scientific Committee on the Health Effects of Radiation).
EFN-USA continues its growth, with members and supporters now in 26 American States! To make it easier for our members and journalists to join us, EFN-USA now has a new toll-free phone and fax line at: 866 445 0599 (add +1 in front of this number if you are calling from outside the US). Read the Minutes of the General meeting of EFN-USA.
Our web site is now translated in Russian, thanks to the good work of our local correspondent, Dr Alexander Akimov (M.D., D.Sc.). See the new website of EFN-RUSSIA. And the Russian edition of the book Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy is expected to be published in 2007.
EFN was created in 1996, therefore 2006 was our 10th anniversary.

See EFN's complete history year by year since it was created 10 years ago
For a good start in 2007:
- don't forget to read (and take note of) your meters on the morning of 1st January for your electricity, your natural gas, and the number of kilometers on your cars' counters. This will be useful to calculate your 2007 carbon footprint in case you want to join EFN's new carbon-reduction action group (CRAG). Many thanks to Robin Smith, one of our local correspondents in the UK, for his help in setting up this CRAG concept and for the great mind-opening action work he does to encourage carbon-reduction initiatives for individual citizens.
- in 2007, don't forget to subscribe or update your membership to EFN-INTERNATIONAL or to EFN-USA or to EFN-CANADA (you can also subscribe to any of the three or all three to support our activities in these areas).
We look forward to developing other national branches of EFN in new countries in 2007, especially in the UK, but also in other regions of the world. To help us in this regard, your support (perhaps in the form of volunteer work as a local correspondent or your donations) is absolutely necessary and will be most welcome, thank you in advance !

Mourinho: Hard to choose
News Sun 3 Aug 2014
Club legends leaving, fresh faces arriving - in many respects, it has been a summer of momentous change at Stamford Bridge.
But as he assesses Chelsea's work in the close season and the constitution of his squad two weeks before our opening league game, Jose Mourinho is delighted he will continue to be able to have the services of his skipper to call upon.
John Terry signed a new one-year deal the day after our final game of last term, at Cardiff. He is preparing to captain his side for an 11th consecutive season, and Mourinho is expecting the same level of performances he has given over those trophy-laden years.
'The contract John got was only based on performances, not his status or his captaincy, just performances,' explained Mourinho.
'We think this way of [giving out] one-year contracts is a very good way of dealing with these kinds of players. John knows me and he knows the club. He just has to be worried about performing.
'I don't remember a better season than the one he just had. That's the point. Last season he had one minor injury. He played basically every match, and at a very high level. When you have a player able to perform during the whole season it's because you believe that the next season he can do the same.'
It is Terry's 20th year at Chelsea Football Club. Cesc Fabregas, not short of Premier League experience himself, is at the other end of the spectrum.
The Spaniard begins his maiden campaign in SW6 with his manager, his team-mates and of course his new supporters excited to see him playing in Chelsea's midfield.
Mourinho provided a little more detail on the thinking behind his acquisition, and what he can offer his team.
'I always thought Fabregas would be a Barcelona player because he is so good,' Mourinho said. 'Being Catalan and with players like Xavi coming to the end of their career I always thought he would stay, but it was him.
'He was so strong about his decision to come back to English football, a bit like me. He was in a big club and he wanted to be back. When we had the information that he had decided to come back to London, we knew he was the player we wanted.
'He can play as a no.8 or no.10,' continued Mourinho. 'If he plays as a no.10 he can score goals. If he plays as a no.8 he can give stability to the team.
'I see him everywhere because he can play everywhere. His best quality is the speed with which he analyses the game and executes it. It's difficult for him to lose the ball or make the wrong decision. He can accelerate or reduce the intensity of the game. He's very intelligent. We need his football brain in our team.
'We have Matic and Mikel as the anchormen. They are positional players. We have Oscar and Willian, no.10s, if you can say that. Fabregas is both. He is a little bit like the missing piece of our engine. We are so happy and all the players are too – they have a fantastic feeling with him because of how quickly he thinks on the pitch.'
There is no hiding Mourinho's satisfaction with regards to the strength in depth of his squad. Naturally, though, that means tough decisions will have to be made.
This includes selection headaches at either end of the pitch, something the manager addressed first considering who he will pick to start in goal.
'It was logical that Courtois had to be back,' Mourinho stressed. 'It would be nonsense to have such a fantastic young goalkeeper and not to have him back. That decision was an easy one.
'If I have to make a decision for Cech to be on the bench, or for Courtois to be on the bench, it's no problem for me. I will do what I think is the best.
'Up front we need three strikers and we have three strikers. Torres will not leave. Their different qualities are very important.
'We do need one player to leave because we have 18 foreign players and you can only have 17. We must make that decision between me, the board and the player involved.
'It will be a tough one because our squad is stable. It has the right numbers.'

Saskatchewan's publicly owned liquor system is superior to private systems elsewhere in the west — so the province should not privatize, a new report says.
On Tuesday, the Parkland Institute and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released a study that says Saskatchewan's public liquor system offers lower prices, generates more revenue for the province and mitigates social harm to a greater extent when compared to private stores in Alberta and B.C.
Parkland spokesman David Campanella says after studying private liquor sales in Alberta and B.C. since privatization, he concludes prices have gone up and tax revenue has gone down.
"If they had kept the amount of tax they were earning per litre of alcohol sold that they were pre-privatization they would have earned an extra $1.5 billion," he said.
In contrast, over the same period, Saskatchewan's per capita liquor revenue increased.
The report compared beer, wine and hard liquor prices in the three provinces and again, Saskatchewan did well. Prices at publicly owned stores in Saskatchewan and B.C. were generally lower than in privately owned stores in B.C. and Alberta.
The Saskatchewan Party government has promised it won't privatize existing liquor stores, but in recent weeks Premier Brad Wall has said if there are new stores, they might be privately owned.
The Parkland Institute describes itself as a non-partisan, Alberta-wide research centre situated within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta.
The Centre for Policy Alternatives says it's an independent, non-partisan research institute concerned with issues of social and economic justice.

Gainsharing and Shared Savings Continue to Spark Interest
Though the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may stay or go this month, proven cost reduction strategies never die. Two examples are gainsharing and shared savings, which predate the latest attempt at healthcare reform and in fact have had new life breathed into them.
Gainsharing allows hospitals and physicians to collaborate and share cost savings as a reward for quality and efficiency improvements. The definition of shared savings is essentially the same. The difference is that gainsharing targets device and supply usage within a specific service line (e.g., orthopedics or cardiology) whereas shared savings targets specific patient populations (e.g., diabetics or asthmatics).
Gainsharing has gotten a bad rap, however. "Gainsharing is difficult and technically it is not legal, though the OIG [Office of Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services] has granted waivers. … I think people are still uncomfortable with the waivers, which is why gainsharing has struggled," says Robert Glenning, executive vice president and CFO at the 775-bed Hackensack (NJ) University Medical Center.
The problem for gainsharing is that OIG ruled that such arrangements violate the Stark Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute. Nevertheless, gainsharing programs have demonstrated cost savings and quality results, so in 2005 OIG began granting waivers to allow these arrangements.

Ahmed Ferhani and Mohamed Mamdouh pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges including criminal possession of a weapon as a terror crime.
But a grand jury evidently rejected the initial top charge against them, second-degree conspiracy as a terror crime. It carried the potential for life in prison without parole.
The top charges now, including the weapons-possession count, carry up to 32 years if they're convicted. They're still charged with conspiracy as a terror crime, but in a lesser degree that carries a maximum of seven years in prison.
Mamdouh's lawyer calls the charges "significantly" reduced.
Ferhani's lawyer calls the case "bogus." She says authorities knew he'd repeatedly been institutionalized for psychiatric problems.
The Manhattan district attorney says the men's intentions amounted to an act of terrorism.

Israeli diplomat attack case: Delhi Police team in Iran
A two-member Delhi Police team is in Iran to seek cooperation in the probe into the February 13 bombing of an Israeli embassy`s vehicle in Delhi.
New Delhi: A two-member Delhi Police team is in Iran to seek cooperation from its counterpart in the probe into the February 13 bombing of an Israeli embassy`s vehicle here in which a woman diplomat was seriously injured.
The team, cleared after an intense discussion between External Affairs Ministry and Delhi Police, has sought details about Houshang Afshar, alleged to be the bomber in the case, official sources said.
The sources said the External Affairs Ministry wanted some senior official to visit Tehran keeping in view the relations between the two countries, but Delhi Police stuck to its stand of sending the Deputy Commissioner of Police Sanjeev Yadav and Inspector Hriday Bhushan as they were the supervising and investigating officers respectively in the case.
Finally, Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar had to step in and sort out the matter and Yadav and Bhushan were sent to Tehran along with the passport details of Afshar and other three Iranian nationals -- Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, Saeid Moradi and Mohammad Kharzei, the sources said.
The team was sent recently after Tehran conveyed its willingness to assist the Delhi Police in its probe after the alleged role of four Iranian nationals surfaced in the bombing that took place barely 500 metres from the high-security Prime Minister Manmohan Singh`s residence.
Delhi Police has named Afshar as the main accused who had planted a bomb on the vehicle of Israeli diplomat Tal Yeshua on February 13 that left the diplomat injured.
The police team is also armed with the findings of the probe by Malaysian authorities, according to which Afshar, after fleeing from India on February 13, had taken a connecting flight to Tehran from Kaula Lumpur airport on the next day, the sources said.

The Midori MD 2018 Diary S is a lined notebook with a monthly calendar of 2018 in the front.
The diary covers each month of 2018 in a beautifully zen-like design. The margins of the page are kept somewhat wider than you might expect, but this is done with a purpose. This way you have some extra space to write down memo's or ideas.
We see the use of this Midori MD 2018 Diary S as a day to day notebook. Especially when contemplating the year ahead, without having to check your calendar in any other form. Simply flip to the front and make a note if needed. We would also like to suggest the erasable Pilot Slim Pen, as plans have a funny way of changing a lot of the time.
The lined sheets are divided in 8 sections, for small notes, or a daily summary of the week.
If you are looking for a diary to keep track for an entire year, have a look at the Midori MD 2018 1 day 1 page diary in S and A5.
Midori MD Paper | Misc-store Amsterdam
MD Paper is Midori's pride when it comes to the art of making paper. Being a stationery manufacturer from the 1950's, MD Paper can be described as part of their blueprint. Ever since Midori made MD Paper in the 1960's, they have applied the Japanese 'Kaizen' principle, meaning they are continuously looking for ways to improve its quality. The result is paper that will not stain, or bleed and is fantastic to write on, especially with a fountain pen.
Not only the paper itself has been developed carefully, also the method of binding deserves an explanation. The MD Notebooks are bound by means of stitching; a large sheet of papier is folded into a bundle of 16 pages. Then, such bundles are bound with thread. This method enables the notebook to open entirely flat, ensuring ease of writing, without a bumpy middle.
To honor this method of binding, Midori has left the cover uncovered, so its spine exposes the cheesecloth tape, which is used to reinforce the bound paper. The MD notebook comes with a wax paper cover.
MD Notebook is also available in Grid, Lined and Cotton and in sizes M, A5 and L.
Midori has developed covers for its Midori MD 2017 Diary S, in plastic, paper and leather.

First, let me introduce myself. I'm Bruce Roberts, a software Architect at Lotus. I'm new to the group so I apologize in advance for any improprieties I may engage in, all guidance to help me toward correct usage of this mailing list is encouraged. I have a couple of statements to make about guideline #3 of the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines: 1) I believe these guidelines are simply restatements of the WAI User Agent Guidelines as applied to an Authoring tool. Each Authoring tool guideline has a parallel in the User Agent document: Authoring Tool 3.1 <-> User Agent 4.1, Authoring Tool 3.2 <-> User Agent 5, Authoring Tool 3.3 <->User Agent 4.2. In fact, these guidelines could be applied to Word Processing, spreadsheets, etc. For example: Navigation in a word processor could correspond to an outline view, in a spreadsheet to a list of sheets or named ranges, etc. 2) I believe development cost is important to consider. Development cost can be a significant barrier to implementation and thus to the spread of usable software. To take a (admittedly outlandish) case: we could require all authoring tools to work via telephone but we don't. The point is that the line has to be drawn somewhere and we should keep that in mind when agreeing on requirements. It's my belief that guideline #3 will be expensive to implement for many, if not most, authoring tools. For these reasons I would like to see guideline #3 eliminated or moved to a more appropriate spot. For example, it could be morphed to a list of techniques for authoring tools to follow the User Agent Guidelines. -- Bruce Charles McCathieNevile <firstname.lastname@example.com> on 03/08/99 12:16:31 PM To: Charles Oppermann <firstname.lastname@example.com> cc: email@example.com (bcc: Bruce Roberts/CAM/Lotus) Subject: RE: New Working Draft As I understand it, based in part on the brief discussion at the face to face meeting, there are two possibilities for a structure view which is designed to increase the accessibility of an authoring tool (as opposed to the final document, which is why the proposed checkpoint is in the new section 3) 1. An outline view, similar to that available in MSWord, or Amaya's "table of Contents" view 2. A formal structure view exposing the DOM tree, similar to that available in Amaya. Being able to navigate either or both of these trees makes it much easier to deal with the document in an environment where scrolling through the document is an expensive process - eg braille display, small screen, etc. The development cost is outside the scope of this group.

Have you considered the potential development cost in creating this feature? How will knowing that a <P> tag is part of a <H1> help the accessibility of the document?

As usual, Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson remained tight-lipped Monday about his league's effort to add new teams.
"Nothing to report," he said. "The process continues. We're continuing to review and evaluate."
But two well-placed sources within the Big Sky Conference, home to at least three potential candidates, doubts they'll be coming from that league.
"I think I have a pretty good pulse on things in our league," said one source, "and at this point I really don't see any movement."
"If we lost anybody now, I'd be really surprised," said the other. "If we do, well, I'd have to seriously question their judgment in light of the information we've provided them."
(Said information pertains to the financial realities of joining the Football Bowl Subdivision, a pressing topic for another day considering the looming budget crisis in Texas.)
Montana, Montana State and Portland State have been mentioned by numerous sources as likely WAC targets as the league seeks to replenish its football-playing membership. One told the Express-News this weekend that Benson recently circulated an e-mail to member schools detailing the close ties between the two Montana schools.
But Montana has already turned down the WAC once, eschewing an invitation to join UTSA, Texas State and Denver last November at the 11th hour. According to one of the Big Sky sources, five other current or future league schools — Montana State, Portland State, Sacramento State, UC-Davis and Cal Poly — also rebuffed the WAC as it attempted to pick up the pieces following the loss of three, and eventually four, programs.
The same source also said that Benson, when asked point-blank by Big Sky commissioner Doug Fullerton last month at the NCAA Convention in San Antonio, told Fullerton he would not pursue any schools from that league.
(An editorial aside: That doesn't necessarily mean Benson won't, just that he said he won't. In the brief time I've known Benson he's struck me as a very honorable person. But he's also under a lot of pressure to pull some pretty large rabbits out of a hat, so all bets might be off.)
Sun Belt members North Texas and Louisiana-Lafayette have also been repeatedly mentioned as potential targets, even though the former has spurned WAC advances on numerous occasions, most recently last November. Four rival athletic directors said chatter about any potential defections has been non-existent.
"We just got out of our winter meetings, and it never even came up," said one. "I wish I could tell you nothing's there. I just don't know. I guess that would surprise me. I'm not sure how it would help them."
So, some decent tidbits here but still nothing definitive about what the WAC will or won't do. Just a smattering of opinions from some very well-placed sources. All of this jibes with my impression that Benson is being extremely quiet and thorough before he makes his next move.
The commissioner said last month in San Antonio he had identified multiple schools ready to accept invitations, and that an announcement could be made as early as April.
And that was about all he'd say. In hindsight, I'm starting to wonder if those schools might be some combination of the Seattle University, California State-Bakersfield and Utah Valley, all of which have been publicly identified as basketball-only members.
More than anything, though, the lack of available info underscores just how hard it's going to be to glean football-playing candidates from a landscape almost totally devoid of viable candidates.
