Before you buy a coffee table you should ask some yourself how you want the table to function. While a coffee table often ends up being the focal point in a room, it does have other functions than simply looking good. Also, since there is a great variety in materials, you should pick one that best fits your needs. For instance, you most likely don not want a glass coffee table when you have toddlers. You would not want an easily destructible surface or finish either. Before you buy your coffee table, you also have to pick shape and size.
A good salesperson will understand and not bother you while you are trying on different sofas for size. You need to get an understanding of how it feels when you stay sitting on it for a while. What should you look for before you buy an office chair? An office chair is a piece of furniture that is a sound investment for anyone who spends long hours at a desk.

It has been a pretty rocky week for Joe Biden. The Vice President has been skewered by conservatives over his gaffe-filled trip to Virginia, sparking fresh media speculation that President Obama might be reconsidering whether to switch out Biden for Hillary Clinton on the 2012 ticket.
Perhaps in an effort to quash the rumors, the White House posted this photo today, from the President's meeting with Biden and Clinton in the Oval Office Thursday:

Sioux Falls City Council Proposes Power Grab Against Citizen Parks Board
Sioux Falls City Council Member Greg Jamison is proposing a major power grab from the citizen parks board.
According to Jamison the parks board is not acting quickly enough to make recommendations on alcohol consumption at Van Eps park, which is located near 6th and Minnesota.
Council member Jamison is proposing to strip the parks board of responsibility and authority to oversee all parks operations. While the issue of drinking in the parks is the excuse he is using, according to his own voice, "The real focus of it is to get the authority back in the hands of the council."
Sadly, Council member Michelle Erpenbach agrees with Jamison.
Ironically, Erpenbach has served on the citzen's park board, yet seems willing to strip that board of authority and responsibility, making the board useless now that she is on the city council.
This city is noted for its beautiful, efficient, diverse, and functional parks system. One reason has been the wise oversight, provided for decades, by non government citizen board members.
The drinking and fighting problem at Van Eps park is unacceptable. Action needs to be taken. Tower Park, north of downtown is dealing with the same issue.
Jamison's proposal goes far beyond the immediate situation. In my opinion it is an unnecessary total power grab.
A wiser, more prudent solution would be for the council to modify the proposal to deal only with "immediate public safety concerns."
That language, or something similar, would allow the parks board to continue to function in the community's best interest for park planning and operations and give the city council the authority to immediately react to potentially dangerous situations.

Although the flight didn't go as planned, we still had a lot of fun, and we're really excited about all the people that turned out for the event!
Due to unanticipated wind currents, the craft changed direction early in the afternoon, and headed back to the Central Oregon area. Incoming storms forced an early landing, but both Kent and Fareed are safe and sound on the ground now! Kent has said that this flight was the most intense adventure of all his balloon expeditions in the past!!!!
They may not have set a record this time, but Kent and Fareed won't lose hope for setting another, because they have another flight scheduled for this fall in Iraq.
Highest altitude reached: 14,060 feet
Total time in the air: 7 hours, 10 minutes (they launched at 10:20am and landed at 5:30pm.
Distance traveled: TBD! They went every which way in their flight, so we don't have an exact distance, but they ended up landing about 39 miles from the launch point (12 miles East of the Prineville Reservoir).
Number of balloons: 375
We want to thank all of the sponsors who have made this flight possible! We couldn't do it without our GPS units, launch location, website, oxygen masks, photography and video - and all the amazing companies that have sponsored these items deserve to be recognized.We feature them all to the right of this page, if you're interested in learning about the businesses that have made these flights achievable.
The other people that deserve a HUGE thank you are the volunteers that show up to help us blow up balloons and get Kent into the sky safely each year! Despite the ever-changing (and often freezing) Central Oregon weather, they're at Stop and Go bright and early, with smiling faces and hands ready to work!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kent Couch and the Couch Balloons team. For more information on the next launch, visit our Iraq 2012 Flight Page!

Brian and Muhammad,
Here is my 2 cents.
Another factor I'd like to consider is the H-field at the conductor surface. If the width dimension of the trace supports much stronger H-field than the height direction, we should increase the width dimension first ....

Hi, Muhammad,
Skin effect means that most of the current flows along the surface of the conductor.
In this way, the effecient area current goes through is more dependent on
the perimeter rather than the real area (Height x Width). Therefore, inreasing width is more effecient that increasing height in view of reducing the resistance of traces.

Subject: [SI-LIST] : skin effect
Hello Si Gurus,
I just had an interesting discussion with my boss on "skin effect on pcb
I was of the opinion that increasing the trace thickness from 1/2 oz. to 1oz. would help reduce the skin effect but according to him skin effect does not reduce significantly
with the increase in trace thickness.
He was of the opinion ( and also had some data to back him up) that skin
effect is more dependent on the width of the trace.
I always thought that if one increases the overall perimeter of the pcb trace - regardless of whether it is done by increasing the width or increasing the thickness - the skin effect would reduce. I would appreciate if somebody could come up with a better explanation...
p.s.: when we talked about pcb traces we were talking about striplines in

I have an excerpt from Bronwen Evans' The Reluctant Wife to share. After reading it, you can enter for a chance to win Bronwen's 2012 Regency Invitation to Scandal!
Excerpt from The Reluctant Wife-
Abby had completely deceived him. He'd thought her naïveté would make her easy to manage. He'd quickly learned that Abby had more backbone than any woman he'd ever met. Her readiness to challenge him seemed to add to her allure. Now, again, here she was asserting her wishes, taking command…
Abby licked her lips. "I don't owe you anything. And, as we're divorcing, I'm the last woman you should have a child with. Besides, I don't care what you do in your personal life."
She lied. Her arms were folded across her stomach as if she were warding off a blow.
"You care. You know I could always read your body as well as a blind man reads braille."
Abby shook her head, the emphatic movement flinging her thick blond hair over one shoulder. Her eyes narrowed. "Can you read what I'm thinking now?"
He searched Abby's drawn face, recognizing the marks of strain in the bluish shadows beneath her eyes and the set of her delicate jaw. She had the strength of fine bone china, and the fragility.
"I know exactly what you're thinking." He tilted his head and tapped his chin with a finger. After a theatrical pause he spoke deliberately. "You wish you'd waited until the morning to meet with me. You're angry with yourself for still wanting me, and you're wondering whether one kiss from my lips can still make you come."
He felt rather than saw her body tremble across the room, and heard her soft gasp.
"Of all the arrogant, conceited…"
"Most of all, you're remembering the first night you were in this room, how you let me seduce you, how I made love to you into the small hours of the morning."
The hazel of her eyes glittered almost golden as he watched her fight tears. He tried to keep his heart unresponsive, but the beauty of her pale face, the dark circles under her eyes, and above all her stricken look of profound loss assailed his protective barrier.
"You want a favor from me. I want a favor—or two—from you. I'd call it a mutually beneficial business proposition. I know you need money and I'm happy to help. For a price. You are my wife, this is where you belong." A traitorous pulse flickered fast just below her collarbone, calling attention to the delicate skin of her throat. His body shuddered into life, with total recall of the addictive taste of her skin.
She quivered as his eyes roamed her small frame. Every detail screamed at him—the dark of her dilated pupils, the flush on her cheeks, the moist pink of her parted lips. She wanted him and though she shook with the effort, she couldn't hide the giveaway signals. Cursing inwardly, he felt his body respond to the recalled pleasure of their days and nights of intimacy.
"But I'm not yours. Not anymore."
"Legally you are still mine!"
"I am not a possession, Dante. As I said four years ago, I'm a flesh-and-blood woman with feelings and desires."
"Come here." He patted the couch beside him. "I'll satisfy those feelings and desires."
About the book:
Abby Taylor walked out on her irresistible husband three years ago. Now she has no choice but to return to Italy to ask him for a favor. To pay for her grandmother's heart operation she needs his money, but it comes with strings attached.
Conte Dante Lombardi has it all—an Italian villa, a successful family business, and a noble title. But he needs a child to carry on his legacy and time is running out. He also hopes to satisfy the desire Abby rouses in him.
As Abby uncovers why he's in such a hurry for a child, she falls in love with him again … just as she realizes it might be impossible to keep her end of the deal.
Thanks to Bronwen, I have a copy of Invitation to Scandal for one of you to win! Entering is easy! Just answer Bronwen's question in the comments section below.
Giveaway: Now, tell me what you'd most want to do if you visit Italy and I'll draw one lucky winner who'll receive a copy of my May 2012 Regency historical, Invitation to Scandal, in book or eBook format.
About Invitation to Scandal:
Her secrets are coming undone…
Plagued by scandalous rumors, Rheda Kerrich will stop at nothing to restore her reputation and make an honest living for herself—and she's determined to do it without a husband. But times are hard, and smuggling is a risky though profitable trade. So when a dashing agent for the English government catches her in the act, she desperately resists his charms and conceals her illicit profession. Until she realizes he may be the key to her ultimate freedom—and unbridled passion…
Rufus Knight, Viscount Strathmore, has never had trouble beguiling the ladies of Kent. When his search for "Dark Shadow," a cunningly elusive smuggler, leads him to alluring and headstrong Rhe, her objections to his amorous advances merely incite a tantalizing game of cat and mouse. Soon, they'll find the very secrets driving them apart could ensnare them in a love they can't escape…

The Single Mom. Once thought to be a rare and unusual species, the Single Mom has made an amazing comeback.
Where my world was once devoid of diapers, babysitters and toy truck puncture wounds on the bottoms of my feet, I have come to the very grim realization that these things are just an integral part of my new dating experience.
You can blame it on my age. I have managed to escape the shackles of single parenthood at 38, but most of my contemporaries have not.
Unless I start choosing girls who are wildly inappropriate for my age range, I'm going to have to come to terms with the Single Mom and her necessities.
In fact, somebody without any kids at our respective ages is starting to look circumspect.
It's not that I really minded at all – it's just that I was living a trite, self-indulgent life in California until I was forced into adulthood by several unrelated circumstances.
The rest of the world grew up around me. Corporate Kitten was a mother of two boys, age 10 and 5. Hot Yoga Girl had a 16-year-old daughter. It was time to re-assess my dating strategy based on these new circumstances.
The first thing to keep in mind is that moms – no matter how witty, charming, and sexually attractive – are moms.
That means that their kids get first dibs on their time and energy. You'll have to be prepared to take a backseat a lot of the time, and that backseat will probably have one of those child-safety belt things, which you'll be asked to haul up several flights of stairs for her when you get home.
If you want to take the Single Mom out on a date, consider offering them babysitter money. If you don't, you should at least keep in mind that their time is worth $10 an hour from the outset. Make it count.
Also, don't forget to factor in the possibility that at any moment their asthmatic youngest could go into a breathing spasm and exchange your make-out time for a nebulizer and a quick peck on the cheek as they whisk you out the door at 8 p.m.
On the other hand, a woman with that little time and that much to do has chosen YOU to be the benefactor of what remains, and that should mean something in itself.
A Single Mom has to be pretty choosy about where and with whom she spends her time.
You must also be comfortable with children, of all ages. As I creep into Middle Age, I'm inexplicably beginning to enjoy the company of young children. It must be instinctive.
If you aren't comfortable crawling into a playground to rescue a five-year-old who has just turned into a blubbering puddle of tears while his playmates clamber over you like human monkey bars, this may not be the dating relationship for you. It requires a level of maturity and the ability to think about somebody other than yourself.
Dating the Single Mom is not an easy task. It will certainly tax you to the ends of your ability to cope with inconvenience, but it can also yield the most amazing rewards.

PR Newswire
EASTON, Pa., Nov. 16, 2012
EASTON, Pa., Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
To the Shareholders of Paragon Technologies:
When I first joined the Board of Directors in the second half of 2010, I was very clear in my objectives for Paragon. The first immediate objective was cost reduction: in October 2010, Paragon's expenses were little changed from 2007 when the Company was generating over $20 million in sales, more than double the sales figure in 2010. We reduced costs and as a result, Paragon reported a profit in 2011 compared with a loss of over $1 million in 2010.
In March of 2012, I was unanimously appointed Chairman of the Board. Two new directors, Samuel Weiser and Jack Jacobs joined me on the Board replacing the outgoing four Board members. Both Sam and Jack are highly accomplished businessmen, but more importantly, both are exceptional people both inside and outside the board room.
Reinvigorated with a completely new Board, we quickly and carefully conducted a comprehensive review of the business, evaluated management and associates, and began a vigorous process of eradicating a culture defined by entitlement and creating a culture motivated by performance. As a direct result of those efforts we are now in a position to steer Paragon in a new direction with a singular focus: increasing the per share intrinsic value of the Company. This letter will outline our business principles that we will employ to run Paragon.
A successful value-creating business, in our view, is one ingrained with a culture of performance. For such a corporate culture to flourish, a business should have (a) a strong and ethical management team; (b) a low cost structure; (c) a consistently strong balance sheet; (d) an intense focus on maximizing intrinsic value per share; and (e) the passion to execute on that focus.
Ultimate Objective: Maximizing Intrinsic Value per Share
The intrinsic value of any business is calculated by taking the sum of all cash flows into and out of the business and then discounting those cash flows by an appropriate interest rate. Operating under the mandate of maximizing per share intrinsic value is important because that maximization ultimately leads to growth in shareholder value. Our focus on intrinsic value maximization is crucially important for one very distinct reason: earnings per share (EPS) growth does not necessarily lead to intrinsic value per share growth. Earnings, with very little managerial effort and without running afoul of the law, can be readily altered to produce EPS growth. For example, by simply offering its customers more liberal credit terms, a business can manufacture earnings growth. Purchases on credit create a legitimate sale and corresponding profit. Yet until such a profit is converted into cash flow upon collection of the corresponding receivable, there is no growth in intrinsic value.
The distinction between intrinsic value growth and earnings growth cannot be underestimated. To understand and focus on increasing intrinsic value requires nothing less than a complete shift in focus from the business status quo. Although Paragon's past management may have focused on earnings growth, going forward Paragon's financial mission will be to maximize free cash flow and return on invested capital.
As a byproduct of this mission, the intelligent allocation of capital is critical. Simply put, our capital must be allocated in a manner that seeks to maximize return on invested capital. To that end, Paragon has made some changes that will serve to ensure that both operational efficiency and disciplined capital allocation are the nucleus of our business. First, we created a holding company structure whereby Paragon is the parent and our material handling business SI Systems is our wholly owned subsidiary. Second, we have clearly defined the responsibilities of our most senior executives. All operating decisions of subsidiary companies will be made by the managements of those subsidiaries. Any and all capital allocation decisions will be made by the Board and me, your Chairman but more importantly the Company's largest shareholder. This clear articulation of responsibilities will ensure that we remain intensely focused in fulfilling our obligation to shareholders – the maximization of per share intrinsic value.
The single most important litmus test that shareholders should conduct when evaluating a company is to determine whether or not the management of that company has the same alignment of interests as the shareholders. Alignment of interests between shareholders and management is met when managers themselves are shareholders. Let me start with your Chairman: as of June 30, 2012, I beneficially own approximately 28% of Paragon's outstanding shares. Not a single share was acquired via an option grant or other compensatory means but all were purchased at or above prevailing market prices. My fortunes are 100% aligned with yours; I prosper when you prosper but more importantly, I will equally feel any financial pain.
Our two other Directors, who joined the Board earlier this year, have already become shareholders. And the compensation structure of both our recently hired Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer was designed to ensure that their financial fortunes prosper when intrinsic value is increased. We will benefit with you, not at your expense.
Operational Review: 2011 versus 2010
Paragon Technologies reported a net profit of $191,000 in 2011 compared with a net loss of $1.054 million in 2010. The turn to profitability in 2011 was a result of higher gross margins and a reduction in SG&A expense. In 2009, SG&A expense was $3.5 million, or 38% of sales. By 2011, SG&A expense had been reduced by approximately 30% or $1 million, to $2.4 million. Yet as any experienced business operator understands, cost cuts are not a permanent path to profitability. In 2011, SG&A expense still constituted 29% of sales. Going forward, our Company will be managed in a very cost efficient manner but our future profitability requires revenue growth, specifically profitable revenue growth. Our intermediate and long-term goals consist of addressing our current lines of business, ascertaining our product relevance in the marketplace, and developing a sound and efficient business plan focused on positioning us in markets where we can be a competitive material handling and fulfillment solutions provider.
As of December 31, 2011, Paragon's per share book value stood at $3.27 compared to $3.14 in 2010. As of June 30, 2012, per share book value stood at $3.14. In the long run, the change in Paragon's per share book value should come to serve as a useful measure of the performance of management. Over the past several years, however, we believe Paragon's book value has merely represented the value of the Company's current assets ascribing no value to the operation of the business.
Given the inconsistent track record of profitability that has plagued Paragon for years, it is explainable that little consideration is given to the business. But we are implementing significant changes that we believe, over time, will lead to a more accurate valuation of the Company, a valuation we currently believe is below intrinsic value. We are working vigorously in this pursuit. I will provide greater color and detail on our operational endeavors in our next annual letter which, for the reasons noted below, will be out around the mid-point of the year as opposed to the tail end of the year.
The Annual Meeting: An Important Change
For years, Paragon's annual meeting has been held in December of the subsequent year. Paragon's fiscal year ends on December 31, so to have the annual meeting twelve months later to discuss the Company's financial results for the prior year is ineffective and does not serve shareholders well.
This will be the final year that we have an annual meeting in December. The Annual Meeting/Shareholder Presentation will be held on Friday, December 7, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. at the offices of our corporate counsel Thompson Hine LLP, Two Alliance Center, 3560 Lenox Road, Suite 1600, Atlanta, GA 30326. Once inside the Alliance Center, please follow the appropriate signage to the annual meeting.
Our desire to hold the meeting in Atlanta was that it would make for easier same day travel for our shareholders and Company associates.
We will start the meeting with a Company presentation to be followed by a Q&A session.
Beginning in 2013, Paragon's Annual Meeting will occur sometime during the mid-point of the year, ideally in May or June. You will be notified as soon as we have our annual report ready.

Hot Girls in 'Star Wars' Swimsuits Will Make Your Lightsaber Rise
You know we like to get our geek on every now and then, right? So you'll forgive us for posting this lightsaber-rising collection of super hot chicks wearing 'Star Wars' swimsuits.
These models make Slave Leia seem like a distant memory from a long time ago in a much duller galaxy far far away. They're sexier than Padme battlin' the arena beasts on Geonosis. OK, we'll stop now.

When chaos strikes, the average investor heads for the hills and ends up paying the price in long-term underperformance, says one of Wall Street's most prominent bulls.
As this chart from Richard Bernstein Advisors shows, mom and pop stink it up on a pretty steady basis and have lagged gains in every asset class, with the exceptions of Asian emerging markets and Japanese equities, over the last 20 years. The average investor has even managed to underperform cash – represented in the chart by 3-month T-bills.
"They could have improved performance by simply buying and holding any asset class other than Asian emerging market or Japanese equities," wrote Bernstein, the former Merrill Lynch strategist who now heads his own eponymously named shop. (Read the note here.)
The chronic underperformance \"suggests investors' timing of asset allocation decisions must have been particularly poor, i.e., investors consistently bought assets that were overvalued and sold assets that were undervalued. They bought high and sold low,\" he said.
Bernstein\'s warning sort of fits into a theme pushed by other strategists, including Credit Suisse\'s Andrew Garthwaite, who have warned against selling too early. Garthwaite is telling clients to stay overweight equities until rates rise. See: Don\'t sell stocks too early — and don\'t even think of shorting Tesla.
As for the beaten-down average investor, Bernstein thinks persistently poor timing is the result of volatility – or more specifically, investors' reaction to increased volatility. Simply put, they tend to run away when things start getting chaotic.
That sounds like the flip side of the often-sounded warning that retail investors regularly signal a market top by piling into the market only after all the big gains have been scored.
With stock-market volatility trending higher in recent weeks, investors are again running away, Bernstein says, citing fund-flow data that shows investors have cut U.S. equity exposure for 13 weeks in a row.
"History suggests that the best investment opportunities are in asset classes that investors shun. We strongly feel investors' ongoing fear of U.S. equities continues to offer substantial opportunity," Bernstein says.

Flexicon Bulk Bag Filling Line Holds up to 15 Pallets
Flexicon's Bulk Bag Filling Line automatically dispenses pallets, fills bulk bags, and accumulates filled bags for removal by forklift.
The dispenser, which holds up to 15 pallets, has a powered roller conveyor that removes the bottom-most pallet from the stack, and positions it directly beneath the cantilevered fill head of a bulk bag filler. An operator then connects an empty bag to four actuated bag strap hooks, seals the bag spout using an inflatable collar, and presses a bag inflation button to initiate a seven-step automated filling sequence:
- start a conveyor to fill the bag at high rate
- reduce the feed rate to dribble speed as the target weight is approached
- stop the conveyor once the target rate is achieved
- vibrate the pallet to densify and stabilize the bag
- deflate the spout seal
- release the bag loops
- release the pallet with newly filled bag (and any previously filled bags) to roll to the furthest of three downstream conveyor positions.
The filler is equipped with a powered fill head height adjustment that accommodates all popular bag sizes, and a feed chute vent for dust-free air displacement during filling. An optional Swing-Down fill head lowers and pivots to a vertical position, allowing operators to connect empty bags at floor level at high rates.
All system components are available constructed to industrial, food and dairy standards.

Born Jamesetta Hawkins in 1938, the singer who was nicknamed Miss Peaches crossed genres, from blues and rhythm and blues to rock and roll, soul, gospel and jazz. James's singnature song, "At Last," was released in 1961, but is still a romantic favorite — President Barack Obama danced to it with his wife Michelle at the inauguration ball. In 1962, James released "Something's Got a Hold on Me," the opening line of which ("Oh sometimes… I get a good feeling, yeah…") is currently in a chart-topping dance track by Avicii. James's time with Chess records was the subject of the 2008 film Cadillac Records, in which Beyoncé played the singer. James struggled with heroin addiction in the '70s, but bounced back in the late '80s and '90s, recording jazz and R&B albums. She won six Grammys, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, the Blues Hall Of Fame and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In April 2009, James made her final television appearance performing "At Last" on Dancing with the Stars; in December of last year, she was declared terminally ill. We lost an epic talent today, but these songs live on.

"Language of Location" – A Geocaching.com Video
Each of the more than 1.3 million geocaches around the world share an adventure and tell a story. We call it the "Language of Location." A Geocaching.com video crew tracked three stories from Larry Yuzuki (NakoTacoPatrol) and friends in Los Angeles, California, Trez Moore (Trez*) at Lake Lanier, Georgia and Molly Shock (mshock) in Hollywood, California. Each geocacher shares the story of what makes the location of their favorite cache so captivating, and what that location says to them.
Trez revisits his very first find in Georgia which hooked him on geocaching in 2002. This location, deep in the woods, has a personal and sentimental history.
NakoTacoPatrol along with geocaching friends visit a string a caches he placed along a breathtaking look out. He'd lived next to the hiking path for almost half a decade and never knew it existed. He decided the location had to be shared with other geocachers and placed a cache series called, "The Queen's Necklace." You'll have to watch the video to find out how the cache series got its name.
Mshock shows us a rare view of the Hollywood sign that she might never have found were there not a cache in the area. She loves caching for its historical significance, specifically related to films that she loves.
Watch the video and learn the "Language of Location." Now tell us, where does your favorite cache take you?

The first marriage licenses in Washington state for same-sex couples were handed out Thursday morning.
King County Executive Dow Constantine signed the first marriage licenses just after midnight. The first couple was Jane Abbott Lighty and Pete-e Petersen of West Seattle, co-founders of the Seattle Women's Chorus.
By 7 a.m. Thursday, 300 licenses were issued. The county set a new single-day record.
"Tonight you are making history," said Constantine to the first group of couples at a special midnight ceremony.
"To have our 35-year loving relationship publicly honored and celebrated and have this be a legal marriage means everything to both of us," said Lighty, 77.
"In our marriage ceremony Sunday evening, both of us will be honored and privileged to represent not only ourselves but the greater community," said Petersen, 85.
"I was just so proud to be in that line and so proud of all the couples, most of whom have been together longer than my partner and I have been together," said Savage.
The line started at 4 p.m. Wednesday. As it grew, volunteers distributed roses and a group of men and women serenaded the waiting line to the tune of "Going to the Chapel."
Thurston County issued 15 licenses at midnight. Pierce County said it would offer extened hours at its licensing division for the next four days.
On Wednesday, Gov. Chris Gregoire signed into law a measure legalizing same-sex marriage in Washington state. The law was passed by the state Legislature earlier this year, but a referendum sent the measure to voters, who approved it last month.

Steve, miss you man!. Doing an overnighter with the Cogs on first and second of next month, Eve says she's going as well. Two nights in Nannup, going to be freezing, hope it's not wet as well!.
Get a bike Steve. Just do it man. Rack up a track day or two and you'll be good to go
I reckon I was doing about 80 to 90 due to the bend...I just saw the gravel and thought I'll try and go round it...should have tried to take it on the inside....Oh well shit happens and I am now almost totally good to go again...may yet be getting another here if the house doesn't sell. I found the chopper ride to be less than expected....there was lots of vibration...somewhat similar to riding a Ducati I would guess hahaha...due to the rotors being out of balance I was told....they simply cannot get them exact according to the PSB paramedic...either that or a loose bolt he said!
I will give you a bell maybe even catch uop for drinkies... but you must promise not to ride your bike or I may be tempted to borrow it while you are in the john.
Do take care... it simply is too easy to make a bad judgement call
HI Steve,
Shit mate that terrible news. Must have been the ride I missed whilst I was away. How fast were you going? always think of you as a solid steady rider so comes as a major shock that you did so much damage. Sounds like you were bloody lucky in some ways........
Shame about the Busa and another of my riding buddies down... :-( Glad to hear that theres no real lasting injuries, however a ride in hte chopper would be cool :-)
Happy to catch up for a beer sometime if you want just message me or txt me or whatever, 0421 615 730 in case you lost it.
Hi mate,
Sorry for the slack replying. I only just noticed that I had two msgs they didn't come up on my tapatalk for some reason !
I was in KL when you messages me anyway but keen to catch up for a ride or a country ride some time, would be good to do one of Stoneys country rides again.
No problemo.
Any ride is a great ride ... LOL
I waited along Rockingham rd but didnt see a Busa.
Then rode thru Rocko to Warnbro, still no Busa. LOL
Few cruisers and a couple of 250's.
Hope you got some others for the fang
Im in Anketell..
Which way are you going.?
I'm OK for most weekends...sometimes things come up but usually they are organised well in advanced by 'she who must be obeyed'...give me as much notice anyways...just to be sure to be sure as the Irish put it!
Cant discuss Kris' case till after it has been resolved.
Munkers, Bikergal, Not_An_Abba_Fan, Rooboy, Busa_Bloke, AussieSteve, Hayabusavich, Kris and a few others plus my self might be the regulars in the Busa rides. Im just waiting on a few replies. I was thinking at the end of Feb or beginging of March, on a weekend. What suits you?

Tuesday, 20 September 2011
I walk home on autopilot, as I do every day, past the myriad shops that barely make a dent on my consciousness. The school outfitters where my parents are forced to buy every purple piece of uniform that makes us the laughing-stock of the other pupils in the area, the newsagents that sells huge bags of broken sweets for 50p but take an eternity to serve, the chippy surrounded by a stifling haze of rancid fat - all of these blur as I quicken my step.
And as I walk, I slowly replay the day's events in my head. I think about my urge to stick my hand up, even as I feel everyone's eyes burn into the back of my neck. It doesn't matter how often they call me "bod", or "swot", or "teacher's pet" - it's like I have some kind of smart-alec Tourette's. And I sigh and I think at least the teachers like me (of course they don't).
I get to the traffic lights and I pause a while, as usual. As I watch the cars criss-cross in front of me, I hear a hawking, retching noise from the other direction. I wrinkle my noise in slight disgust, but the lights change and I forget about it as I trot on.
I'm on the red slate doorstep and I ring the bell, three times, as usual. My mother opens the door and walks off into the kitchen to get my tea ready. I bounce up the stairs, taking them two at a time, anxious to change out of my school clothes, the purple shackles.
It's only when I swing my rucksack onto my bed that I see it: a yellow-flecked slug of phlegm streaking all the way down the scuffed nylon. It glistens with viscous menace and somehow continues its mottled descent, and I stare at its progress, and I will it to go away.
Tears pricking my eyes, I pick up the rucksack, and empty its contents all over the floor. I yell to my mother, "I need a new bag!" as I push and shove the old one into my pedal-bin.
Then I crawl back down the stairs, shoulders slumped, infected.

Aaw love. What a shitty day. And a shitty small-minded phlegm bomber. Arsehole.ReplyDelete
Oh MiMi that's AWFUL. You must have been so upset. Poor love.ReplyDelete
So well written though.
I love it that you are going to write about "other fancies" too... xxxReplyDelete
Sad story (and one I can totally relate to) but I love your writing style, look forward to reading more of this kind of writingReplyDelete
Brave post MiMi, it's always hard to give a glimpse into yourself like that, in the raw (so to speak). And yet you've done it so well. It's beautifully written.ReplyDelete
As for the bastards who did that back in the day...well...just look what you've done and where you've got to. Best riposte ever.
@George@CulinaryTravels - Thank you GeorgeReplyDelete
@Kavey - It still bothers me almost 20 years later that I don't know who it was.
@The Ample Cook - Thank you Jan x
@Leluu - You started a trend :) xxx
@simonkimber - Were you a nerd too? Thanks x
@TheGrubworm - Yeah, I might regret this. But thank you x
I like it! Beautiful.ReplyDelete
Other kids suck. Kids used to say to me "you lost the war" I was like "...?"
Oh Mimi, that makes me want to cry. What a tool that phlegm-harking bonehead was.ReplyDelete
Beautifully written! I too look forward to more in this vein. Congratulations on making what was probably a slightly scary leap.ReplyDelete
@Sasa - Thanks Sasa - also, how nasty of them :(ReplyDelete
@Signe - Aw, sorry x
@Robyn - Thank you. Yes, very scary!
How beautifully written. I'm sure the phlegmy git got what they deserved.ReplyDelete
Um, eeyew. Please don't take too long a break from posting about food! ;) Seriously, though, well written--I was in your footsteps the entire way! BTW did you know that Google email presented me with a stop smoking ad when it pushed me your post? Smoking . . . phlegm. I'll have to pay more attention to those!ReplyDelete
A sad but well written tale MiMi. Take heart though, the said hawker probably met some unfortunate incident shortly afterwards. A seagull could have shat on their overly dense head or they may well have fallen down a lift shaft or something.ReplyDelete
Karma, baby, karma.
They threw tater tots at me when I was in high school!ReplyDelete
@sakura - Thank you xReplyDelete
@Donna Kusman - How odd!
@Food Urchin - You're quite right :)
@Cupcake Kelly - Harsh, though I'd rather be hit by a potato product when it comes down to it.

Big dog is a joint project involving DARPA, NASA and Harvard University. It is an all terrain robot that can walk through snow, balance on ice and even avoid toppling over when kicked. Amazing!
Also, as the Berg Blog points out, the part of the video when Big Dog gets kicked provokes the same kind of negative emotions we would feel if seeing a real dog kicked. Is this a glimpse of something much larger – human machine empathy?

Shooting in North West Sioux Falls [UPDATE]
Sioux Falls police continue to investigate a shooting in northwest Sioux Falls. The shooting took place in the 4200 block of N. Alaska in extreme Northwest Sioux Falls.
The shooting took place at about 2:30 p.m. Monday December 2nd.
We have updated information on the story. According to Keloand TV News:
Schools in Dell Rapids are back to normal, after students were told to stay inside much of Tuesday morning while law enforcement looked for someone in the small town.
Authorities believed that person could be connected to Monday's deadly shooting in Sioux Falls.
The schools were operating under a "secured perimeter," which means nobody can enter or leave the building. Parents were notified of this through a phone message.
According to Argus Leader,
Two people were arrested near Dell Rapids on Tuesday morning in connection with Monday's shooting in northwest Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead said.Milstead said one person was taken into custody at a business south of Dell Rapids and another east of town at a farm. He said the two people are connected to the shooting that left one person dead and another seriously injured at the 4200 block of N. Alaska Avenue.
On Monday, a father and son were shot on the 4200 block of N. Alaska Avenue in northwestern Sioux Falls. According to Sioux Falls Police officials the son was killed and the father remains hospitalized.

The turning of the year always seems to bring change with it, and the beginning of 2011 is no different.
Moving On
It is with a heavy heart that the first change brings sad news. Evil DIMwit has decided to take some time out of his Blue Suede Shoes, and will be resigning from his CA role in order to focus on other things and real-life projects. Evil, ED, DIM or Wit (as he is variously known) has done an excellent job on the gameplay workshop, and his experience and expertise will be missed.
So long, Evil DIMwit, and thanks for all the fish. We wish you all the best with life outside the foundry (although your crayons will always be welcome here when real-life is less demanding).
Moving Up
Back in April 20009, thenobodies80 joined the Foundry Assistant ranks, and since then has covered himself in blue food-colouring and been bouncing off the foundry walls like a cartographer possessed! Over the past year, he has grown to become Robin to my Batman. In recognition of this, it is my very great pleasure to announce that thenobodies80 shall hereby be known as "Deputy Foreman". Welcome on board (again)
Moving Around
In practical terms, these changes mean that the "staffing" structure of Cartography Assistants will change somewhat:
- Melting Pot/Drafting Room: MrBenn, thenobodies80
Gameplay: iancanton, TaCktiX, MarshalNey
Graphics: RedBaron0, Industrial Helix
Forge / Beta: MrBenn, thenobodies80, ( Forza AZ )
Bigger and Better
For as long as I can remember, the Foundry community has been pushing for bigger maps. It gives me great satisfaction to announce that the bigger and better future is now upon us! The Foundry Foreman has now been vested with power from the highest authority (lackattack) to allow maps that exceed the current standard guidelines.... I hereby present you with Supersize Maps!
Maps of SuperSize must be worthy of needing the additional space (ie they shouldn't be unnecessarily big); mapmakers will be required to suggest their intended image sizes during the design brief stage, with permission to exceed the standard guidelines in exceptional cases to be granted by the Foundry Foreman. (In exceptionally-exceptional circumstances, there is the further potential for flexibility)
- Standard maximum sizes: 630x600 pixels for a small map and 840x800 pixels for a large map.
- SuperSize limits: 1000x800 pixels for a small map, and 1400x1200 pixels for a large map
Upwards and Onwards
We're always looking to the future, so keep watching this space for news about a couple of other tweaks to foundry-related things that are in the pipeline.
PS There's still time left to take part in the Golfe Contest.

BROCKTON – Motivated in part by the high-profile August 2013 murder of Jennifer Martel, whose boyfriend Jared Remy pleaded guilty in late May with stabbing her to death at their Waltham apartment, the domestic violence bill moved easily through the State House.
Members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives voted 152-0 to approve the bill, the Senate took a voice vote, and Gov. Deval Patrick signed it into law Aug. 8.
For the most part, the bill's provisions immediately took effect.
The measure increases training programs on domestic violence, establishes state and local domestic fatality review teams to examine the causes of domestic violence-related deaths and establishes a fund to encourage practices aimed at preventing domestic violence and aiding victims. The bill makes it easier to purchase pepper spray and provides paid employment leave for victims.
The most controversial portion of the measure increases privacy protections for victims by prohibiting information about domestic violence arrests from being included in daily public police records and logs. Even before it was signed, Massachusetts Newspaper Publishers Association Executive Director Robert Ambrogi criticized that section of the bill for also holding back the names of those arrested in domestic violence cases.
Despite that provision, the bill received so much support because of how much it will help the victims of domestic violence, Rep. Mike Brady, D-Brockton, said.
"There's a lot of good pieces of the bill that I'm very much in support of," Brady said.
The bill, in part, requires employers with 50 or more employees to allow workers who are victims of domestic violence, stalking or sexual assault to take a paid or unpaid annual 15-day leave of absence to address court, housing, health and other issues arising from the incident.
It also prohibits the use of an "accord and satisfaction" agreement in domestic violence cases. These agreements allow the courts to dismiss a domestic violence charge over the prosecutor's objection if the victim acknowledges in writing that he or she has signed an out-of-court private agreement with the offender.
Other provisions create a new charge for a first offense of domestic assault and delay bail for domestic violence offenders by six hours, allowing victims an opportunity to find a safe place and get the necessary help.
Brady said that the measure making secret the identities of those charged with domestic violence does not outweigh the benefits of the bill, but that lawmakers should examine the changes made to police logs.
"We definitely have to look more thoroughly into that portion of the legislation," Brady said. "We may need to tweak some of that – what's put in the police log and what's not."
Associated Press material was used in the report.

Propelled by victim benefits, domestic violence bill sees easy passage
BROCKTON – Motivated in part by the high-profile August 2013 murder of Jennifer Martel, whose boyfriend Jared Remy pleaded guilty in late May with stabbing her to death at their Waltham apartment, the domestic violence bill moved easily through the State House.

Dixie Carter, who gained television fame as Julia Sugarbaker on the long-running CBS sitcom "Designing Women," has died. She was 70.
Carter died Saturday morning at a Houston hospital of complications from cancer, said Steve Rohr, publicist for Carter and her husband, actor Hal Holbrook. "This has been a terrible blow to our family," Holbrook said in a written statement. "We would appreciate everyone understanding that this is a private family tragedy."
Carter had a long career as a stage actress and cabaret singer. But her signature role was as the opinionated star of "Designing Women," which focused on four women running an interior design firm in Atlanta. The show ran from 1986 to 1993 with a long life in reruns.
Carter, Delta Burke, Annie Potts and Jean Smart were the original leads. "The show was written just for us," Carter told the Palm Beach Post in 1999. "We all thought we were the prettiest and the funniest."
Potts told the Associated Press at a 2006 cast reunion: "It was something so unique, because there had never been anything quite like it. We had Lucy and Ethel, but we never had that exponentially expanded, smart, attractive women who read newspapers and had passions about things and loved each other and stood by each other."
Dixie Virginia Carter, the middle of three children, was born May 25, 1939, in McLemoresville, Tenn.
"When I was 4, I started dreaming I'd perform at the Met," she told the Palm Beach Post in 1999. "As I got older, I felt a little less secure because I started to realize that my voice was not this enormous sound."
She graduated from what was then Memphis State University with a bachelor's degree in English. Her first stage work was in a 1960 Memphis production of "Carousel." Carter debuted off-Broadway in "A Winter's Tale" at the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1963 for Joseph Papp. "He told me that some of the biggest successes in New York were country bumpkins because they were so unsophisticated they'd try anything," she said.
She gave up acting when she married investment banker Arthur Carter in 1967.
"I was brought up in the South and [quitting your career to be a wife and mother] was what you did," she told the Hartford Courant in 2003. "My whole life I had been an actress in spurts because my family is more important to me than anything else."
She restarted her career in the 1970s with a role on the soap opera "The Edge of Night." Carter had several TV roles, including on "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Filthy Rich," which would provide a connection to her star turn on "Designing Women."
The executive producers of "Designing Women" were the husband-and-wife team of Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and Harry Thomason. Bloodworth-Thomason was involved with "Filthy Rich" and Burke was part of the cast.
Carter and Holbrook were married in 1984, and Holbrook appeared on "Designing Women" as Carter's suitor, Reese Watson. Carter was nominated for an Emmy in 2007 for her role as a mother-in-law on "Desperate Housewives." She also appeared in the drama "Family Law" from 1999 to 2002. In 2009, Carter and Holbrook were in the film "That Evening Sun."
In addition to Holbrook, Carter is survived by daughters Mary Dixie and Ginna and a sister, Melba Helen Heath. She was divorced from Arthur Carter and actor George Hearn.

In most modern narratives, the story of the Beats began when Allen Ginsberg first read "Howl" to rapturous audiences, when his poetic evocation of youth gone wrong and hope and rebellion and power and gay love was banned and became famous.
That was in San Francisco in 1956. But the group of writers who would lead the Beat Generation -- including Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs -- all met earlier when many of them attended Columbia in New York.
"Kill Your Darlings," scheduled for release in October, is a film that explores that early time in New York. Its star is Daniel Radcliffe -- best known for playing another bookish character, Harry Potter -- who here portrays Ginsberg at his youngest and most naive.
In the film's first trailer, above, Radcliffe-as-Ginsberg takes in the sights and lessons of the world around him -- as well as the intimate glances from actor Dane DeHaan -- with a newcomer's glow, all to a frenetic bop beat.
Then the music slows. Something has changed -- but what? What went on between this crowd of talented men that compelled some to leave campus, others to leave for Paris, and several never to make New York home again?
Don't look it up on Wikipedia. Wait for the movie.

1950s bowling shirt
Added Dec 19, 2013
by janene
London, United K...
Not technically a bowling shirt but by the time I'd hand-embroidered the monogram and added some piping to the yoke, it was as good as! I made this for one of my favourite sewing challenges yet. A wonderful meet up of the 'Spoolettes' at the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes in London.
Everyone looked so fabulous.
The pattern came together quite quickly. I did an FBA, and added a little to the waist but that's all.
More deets over at the usual place
Material Notes
red cotton fabric, black piping, black embroidery thread, red sewing thread, 3 vintage buttons.

Bonhams organized the first-ever auction of Californian paintings in the early 1980s. Since then we have consistently led this market and brought it from a regional collecting area to a burgeoning national phenomenon.
The market for these works is exceptionally strong with high-quality examples finding their way to our salerooms three times a year. The California and Western Paintings department offers works ranging from 19th century artists such as Thomas Hill and William Keith to American Impressionist painters such as Edgar Payne, William Wendt and Guy Rose. Additionally, Western paintings are commonly sold by such important artists as Maynard Dixon, Herbert Dunton, Frank Tenney Johnson and Ernest Martin Hennings. California Regionalist painters are regularly featured as well, along with Modernist artists such as Henrietta Shore and Agnes Pelton.

Revision as of 10:51, 20 July 2011
- 1 Graphiti - a Graphical Tooling Infrastructure
Graphiti - a Graphical Tooling Infrastructure
This page contains useful information for developers working on the Graphiti framework itself. Users of the framework (building Graphiti-based tools) should rather have a look onto our Eclipse page at http://www.eclipse.org/graphiti.
Central Build
Build Job
Our central Hudson build job can be found here. Graphiti uses Buckminster for its automated build and test run. See here for a detailed description of the Graphiti build process.
API Tooling
We use the Eclipse API tooling to fulfill Eclipse version number and API stability requirements. You have to define an API baseline if you are working on the Graphiti releases 0.8.x (service releases only) and beyond. For service releases use the same version as baseline (e.g. 0.8.0 for Indigo SR1) otherwise the last major release (e.g. 0.8.0 for Juno developement).
Coding Conventions
We use the standard Eclipse formatter for our coding with just one exceptional setting: the maximum line width is changed to 120. This setting can be found in the Eclipse preferences under 'Java -> Code Style -> Formatter' by editing the 'Eclipse [built-in]' profile on tab 'Line Wrapping': set the 'Maximum Line Width' in Section 'General settings' to 120.
To be sure that the formatter is really used for all your changes define your save actions (Eclipe preferences under 'Java -> Editor -> Save Actions') to include 'Format source code' with 'Format edited lines' only. Also enable the 'Organize imports' action on this page to get an automated clean-up of the import statements.
The source code of Graphiti is publicly available from the Modeling CVS repository. A general page on using CVS with Eclipse can be found here. If you just want to browse the source code without checking out all the projects, you can use this link for the web access to the Eclipse CVS.
CVS Anonymous Access
Please set up the following Eclipse CVS repository location: :pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/modeling, folder org.eclipse.gmp/org.eclipse.gmp.graphiti user anonymous with no password.
Committer CVS Access
Same details as anonymous access, using extssh as the connection type and specific username/password as assigned by Eclipse. Eclipse CSV repository location is :extssh:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/modeling, folder org.eclipse.gmp/org.eclipse.gmp.graphiti
Working on Bugzillas (Contributions and Commiting)
This is what you should do to fully complete a Bugzilla:
- Of course, fix the bug or provide the enhancement
- Create a JUnit test testing the change and add it to one of the Graphiti test suites
- Prefered tests are the pure JUnit tests, if not possible also adding to the SWTBot test suite (as JUnit Plugin or real SWTBot test) is ok as well
- It should be green, of course ;-)
- All other tests contained in all the test suites should still pass
- Check for any warnings in your coding and fix them if possible
- Provide some kind of raw documentation for your change, this may be directly in the Bugzilla, in the JavaDoc, on this Wiki page or in the online help (e.g. in the tutorial)
- Bugs will need very little documentation, while functional enhancements will need more attention
As development IDE you should use the newest Eclipse installation of your choice, at the time this was written the newest Eclipse version was 3.7 (Indigo). You will need SWTBot in your developement IDE to be able to run the Graphiti SWTBot-based UI tests. Also you will need to add Buckminster (version 3.7 at the time this was written) to your installation. For more details see the Getting Started Guide.
Basically you will need the same installation for your target platform as well, but it needs to contain EMF SDK, EMF Transactions SDK and GEF SDK (see getting started guide). Buckminster is not needed here, but SWTBot is. Additionally you will need to install GMF runtime (it hosts some vector support functionality we use from export.batik plugin that you have to collect individually otherwise).
Mailing List
The Graphiti developer mailing list allows to follow and participate in discussions on the Graphiti framework. You can subscribe here.

Adjustments to the weight of Rogue class cards have been made. Also, last week, the current rules for Arena were posted after the release of Rise of Shadows.
It looks like Rogue may have been a tad too powerful in Arena, after the release of Rise of Shadows. Team 5 is adjusting the weight of Rogue class cards, with overperforming ones being seen less frequently.
Dylan Bates
Later today we will be applying an adjustment to the weight of Rogue class cards in Arenas to address some current balance issues. This means that overperforming Rogue cards will be seen less frequently. Additionally, we will be making changes to the card buckets for other classes to create a more consistent drafting experience. You will not need to patch your client or download any additional data to receive this update.
Please note that after this change some Rogue choices may seem sub-optimal, but we are prepared to address any outstanding issues in a future update. (source)
Rise of Shadows brought a significant change to the Arena, as it now has a rotating draft pool. Accordingly, Blizzard has posted an update to the current Arena rules:
Dylan Bates
Update 14.0 - 04/09/19
Any given Arena draft pick will offer 3 cards from the same "Bucket". There are currently 13 non-Legendary card buckets and 5 Legendary card buckets.
On average, Arena draft picks consist of about 79% Common, 15% Rare, 5% Epic, and 1% Legendary cards.
Your 1st, 10th, 20th, and 30th picks will be guaranteed to offer cards from Bucket 4 or higher.
Class cards receive an additional +50% increase in their appearance rate.
Spell and weapon cards OR cards from the latest Expansion receive an additional +50% increase in their appearance rate.
Neutral cards from the Classic and Basic set appear 50% less often.
These appearance rate modifiers are multiplicative.
The following cards are unavailable to be drafted in Arena:
Ancient Watcher, Mind Control Tech, Klaxxi Amber-Weaver, Dark Arakkoa, Cult Sorcerer, Twilight Darkmender, Hooded Acolyte, Blade of C'Thun, Usher of Souls, Ancient Shieldbearer, Twin Emperor Vek'lor, Disciple of C'Thun, Doomcaller, C'Thun, Beckoner of Evil, C'Thun's Chosen, Twilight Geomancer, Twilight Elder, Crazed Worshipper, Skeram Cultist, Jungle Giants, Open the Waygate, The Caverns Below, Vicious Fledgling, The Marsh Queen, Fire Plume's Heart, Awaken the Makers, Unite the Murlocs, Lakkari Sacrifice, The Last Kaleidosaur, Humongous Razorleaf, Bloodreaver Gul'dan, Deathstalker Rexxar, Frost Lich Jaina, Malfurion the Pestilent, Scourgelord Garrosh, Shadowreaper Anduin, Thrall, Deathseer, Uther of the Ebon Blade, Valeera the Hollow, Baku the Mooneater, Black Cat, Genn Greymane, Glitter Moth, Gloom Stag, Hagatha the Witch, Murkspark Eel, Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, Whizbang the Wonderful, Zul'jin, Arcane Watcher
