DGE Researcher Profile
Yoichi Shiga
| |||||||||||
Research Summary | |||||||||||
I am a graduate student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University and a member of Dr. Anna Michalak's research group at the Carnegie Institution for Science's Department of Global Ecology. My research focuses on improving the current understanding of both the natural and anthropogenic components of the carbon cycle using data driven statistical methods. In the past I have worked on a project that developed an atmospheric CO2 monitoring network to better constrain CO2 exchange across North America. Currently, my research explores the use of inverse modeling approaches to provide an atmospheric data constraint on both natural and fossil fuel based CO2 fluxes.

Lamborghini unveiled its newest model, the Sesto Elemento, today at the Paris Motor Show.
The long-awaited (non-production) supercar is the lightest, quickest ever to grace Lamborghini's lineup. It is named after the sixth element in the periodic table - carbon - and weighs just over 2,200 pounds, which is no small feat for a supercar that has to carry the considerable weight of a V-10 engine, automatic transmission, and permanent all-wheel drive. (Click here to read a full Q&A about the Sesto Elemento with Lamborghini head Stephan Winkelmann.)
The secret to Sesto Elemento's feather weight is carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP): Its entire front frame, exterior panels, crash boxes, major suspension components, rims, roof, doors, and center console consist entirely of carbon fiber.
Lamborghini head Stephan Winkelmann says Sesto Elemento represents a new mentality at Lamborghini: that weight and handling are more important that sheer power.
"It shows how the future of the super sports car can look," Winkelmann said. "Extreme lightweight engineering combined with extreme performance results in extreme driving fun."
For all that belt-tightening, the Sesto Elemento still packs quite a punch. It has a total output of 570 horsepower, with a stunning power-to-weight ratio of just 1.75 kilograms per horsepower. It'll go zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of more than 185 mph.
The carbon does more than help shed pounds - it also grabs a lot of attention. During the last stage of production, Lamborghini's engineers give the exterior carbon fiber parts a special coat of "fine crystals with a red shimmer," according to Lamborghini, which lends the car a glowing red-shimmer finish that has an unmistakable swagger.
The Sesto Elemento also has a recurring design theme of triangles. Cooling air flows through two red triangular openings in the hood of the car, whose lines are then carried through into the roofline. Triangles also appear around the door handles and in the angles along the car's roof.
Lamborghini says the angular look is simply a case of form following function.
"The two vertical ribs at the front, for example, improve the stiffness of the component and guide the cooling air directly to the radiator behind them and to the brakes," Lamborghini says. The same idea of design applies to the severely angular bi-xenon headlamps, the extremely wide sills, the low front end, and the short rear overhang.
It's all "defined by optimum aerodynamics," according to the automaker. "The generously dimensioned spoiler is perfectly matched to the diffuser and a further air deflector in the center, thus guaranteeing maximum downforce for extreme cornering speeds and excellent high-speed directional stability."

LAND GRANTS. The history of land grants in Texas is a long and complex one. The earliest grant was made by the Spanish crown to establish a mission and presidio in East Texas in 1716. In 1731 town lots in San Antonio de Béxar were granted to Canary Islanders, and by the mid-1700s larger livestock grants were being made along the San Antonio River valley. In later years, the titles were issued by the governor of the province, who received a small fee, as did the local officials who participated in the process. Ranching lands further away from the town were generally held informally in the early years of Spanish Texas, and only regularized in later years. Private land grants in what is now South Texas did not begin until the mid-eighteenth century. Settlers in the colonies founded by José de Escandón in South Texas requested individual land allocations as early as 1753, but not until 1767 did a Spanish royal commission began the work of surveying and granting possession of land to individual colonists at the Rio Grande villas of Laredo, Mier, Camargo, Revilla (later Guerrero), and Reynosa. The commissioners, Juan Armando de Palacio and José de Ossorio y Llamas, were instructed to survey the various settlements and jurisdictions, to distribute the land to individual settlers, and record all transactions. The land was to be divided on the basis of merit and seniority, with the colonists divided into three categories: original, old, and recent settlers. Due to the shortage of water and the importance of irrigation for agriculture in the region, the commissioners surveyed long, thin strips of land, each with narrow frontage on a water course. These elongated quadrangles were known as porciones. The porciones in each of the five settlements was assigned a number. Many of the grants, especially the larger ones, also acquired names, usually derived from saints' names, physical or natural characteristics of the region, or events. The grants were finalized by an act of juridical possession several months later. The transactions were recorded in documents known as Acts of the Visit of the Royal Commissioners (Autos de la general visita). Some 170 porciones granted in what is now Texas are entered in the five visitas. In addition to the grants with water frontage, the royal officials also made larger grants at the back of the porciones or along the Gulf of Mexico. Most of these grants, which were intended for grazing, went to influential citizens of Camargo and Reynosa. They often covered large expanses of land, the largest being the 600,000-acre Agostadero de San Juan de Carricitos grant to José Narisco Cabazos. The small number of grants initially made to women usually went to recipients whose husbands had died after the grants were initiated and before they were perfected, or to women who were heads of households. A number of women, particularly from wealthy or influential families, were in possession of large parcels of land by the end of the colonial period.
Land grants in other regions followed somewhat different patterns. Along the upper Rio Grande few formal grants were made. In Nacogdoches and other areas along the northern frontier, families usually received land through oral agreements with local officials. With the beginning of American incursion into the Nacogdoches area in the 1790s, however, many families sought to formalize these grants in order to preserve their rights. Despite the granting of large areas of land in the north, the number of inhabitants of the region remained small. In an effort to populate the area, Spanish officials experimented with a policy to entice settlers from the American frontier with promises of land, religious tolerance, and special privileges. In 1820 the Spanish government passed a measure to open Texas to foreigners who would respect the laws and constitution of the country. In January 1821, Moses Austin was promised a contract to land on the Brazos River in exchange for bringing 300 Catholic families from Louisiana. After his death in June of that year his son, Stephen F. Austin, assumed the contract. Though the grant was declared void after the Mexican War of Independence, Austin succeeded in negotiating a new contract under President Agustín de Iturbide's colonization law of 1823 (see MEXICAN COLONIZATION LAWS). After Iturbide's downfall in March 1823, the new Mexican government passed the state colonization law of March 24, 1825, which opened the way for Americans to settle in the northern province of Coahuila and Texas. In exchange for a small fee, heads of families could obtain as much as a league or sitio (4428.4) acres of grazing land and a labor (177.1 acres) of cropland. Under the provisions of the decree foreigners had to take an oath promising to obey the federal and state constitutions, practice Christianity, and prove their morality and good habits. Upon agreeing to these conditions and establishing residence, foreigners became Mexican citizens. The wording of the decree as it pertained to slavery was vague and did not immediately prohibit the importation of slaves. Individuals could petition for grants directly, but more often applications were handled by immigration agents, or empresarios. An empresario selected colonists, allocated land, and oversaw the enforcement of Mexican law. In compensation he was entitled to five leagues and five labores for each 100 families they settled. Between 1821 and 1835, forty-one empresario grants were made, the majority going to emigrants from the United States. Among the most important empresarios were Green DeWitt, who secured a contract to settle 400 families west of the Lavaca River and south of the Old San Antonio Road; Benjamin R. Milam, who received a contract in 1826 to settle three hundred families between the Guadalupe and Colorado rivers; and Sterling C. Robertson, agent for the Nashville Company who obtained a contract in 1825 to settle 800 families. Other important empresarios included Haden Edwards, Robert Leftwich, Frost Thorn, Martín De León, James Power, James Hewetson, John McMullen, James McGloin, Lorenzo de Zavala, David G. Burnet, and Joseph Vehlein (see ANGLO-AMERICAN COLONIZATION).
Officials of Tamaulipas, which included much of what is now South Texas, also sought to encourage colonization of its vacant lands through the colonization law of 1825. Grants were made to Mexican ranchers, but the attempts to attract large numbers of settlers proved unsuccessful. In 1836 the first Congress of the Republic of Texas declared that the Texas boundaries extended to the Rio Grande, but the state of Tamaulipas continued to issue land titles in the trans-Nueces region until the Mexican War ended in 1848. As a provision of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the boundary dispute with Mexico, the new state of Texas officially recognized the land grants made under Spanish and Mexican rule as valid. To quell confusion, in 1848 Governor Peter H. Bell called on the legislature to conduct an investigation of claims arising from the Tamaulipan and Chihuahuan cession. In 1850 the legislature instituted a board of commissioners to oversee the process and appointed William H. Bourland and James B. Miller as commissioners. The recommendations of the commissioners are contained in a document known as the Bourland and Miller Report, now in the archives of the General Land Office. In February, 1860, the legislature passed a measure that gave the responsibility for confirming Spanish and Mexican titles to the district courts.
The Republic of Texas made many headright grants, that is, grants given on the condition that specified requirements be met by the grantees. Under the Constitution of 1836 all heads of families living in Texas on March 4, 1836, except Africans and Indians, were granted "first class" headrights of one league and one labor (4,605.5 acres), and single men aged seventeen years or older, one-third of a league (1,476.1 acres). By later laws "second class" headrights of 1,280 acres to heads of families and 640 acres to single men were granted to those who immigrated to Texas after the Texas Declaration of Independence and before October 1, 1837, and who remained in the republic for three years and performed the duties of citizenship. "Third class" headrights of 640 acres for heads of families and 320 acres for single men went to recipients who immigrated to Texas after October 1, 1837, and before January 1, 1840. In 1841 "fourth class" headright certificates of 640 acres for family heads and 320 acres for single men were granted conditionally to residents who immigrated to Texas between January 1, 1840, and January 1, 1842. A total of 36,876,492 acres was granted by the republic in headright certificates. In order to attract settlers, the Republic of Texas also made colonization contracts with various individuals to establish colonies in the republic and receive payment in land. In addition to large grants made directly to the contractors, settlers in such colonies were granted 640 acres each, if heads of families, or 320 acres, if single. Land grants made under colonization contracts amounted to 4,494,806 acres. As a further inducement to settlers, in 1845 the Congress of the republic passed the first Pre-emption Act, which gave to persons who had previously settled upon and improved vacant public lands, or who might thereafter settle upon and improve them, the right to purchase (pre-empt) up to 320 acres. Pre-emptors, or homesteaders, were required to cover their locations with valid certificates within three years. Under the state government this period was extended to January 1, 1854. By an act of 1853 homestead grants of not more than 320 acres were made available to those who had settled under the Pre-emption Act. This act was replaced by the Homestead Act of 1854, which reduced homestead grants to 160 acres and required a residence of three years. The policy of homestead grants was continued under acts of 1866 and 1870 and under the Constitution of 1876. The amount of land disposed of under the pre-emption and homestead laws of Texas is recorded at 4,847,136 acres.
Both the republic and state granted lands for military service in the form of bounty and donation grants. An act of December 21, 1837, provided for donation certificates of 640 acres each to all persons who had engaged in the battle of San Jacinto, to all who were wounded the day before, and to all who were detailed to guard the baggage at Harrisburg; by the same act bounty warrants were granted to those who had participated in the siege of Bexar, the Goliad campaigns of 1835 and 1836, and the battle of the Alamo, or to their survivors. By an act of 1879 certificates for an additional 640 acres were granted under stringent restrictions to indigent veterans of the Texas Revolution. An act of 1868 granted warrants to Texans who had fought in the Union Army, but no land was ever claimed under this law. In 1881 the state voted to issue bounty warrants for 1,280 acres to Confederate veterans who had been permanently disabled in service. Bounty and donation grants for military service amounted to a total of 3,149,234 acres.
Vast areas of Texas lands were also granted in return for making internal improvements: building railroads, canals, and irrigation ditches, constructing shipbuilding facilities, clearing river channels, and, during the Civil War, manufacturing firearms and munitions and constructing highways. Lands granted to railroads amounted to 32,153,878 acres, or nearly one-fifth of the total area of the state. For other internal improvements a total of 138,640 acres was granted (see LAND GRANTS FOR INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS).
Finally, special education land grants totaling 172,319 acres were made by the Republic of Texas to private colleges and seminaries. Other lands were subsequently set aside for state educational and eleemosynary institutions, but they are more appropriately classified as land appropriations for education rather than grants.

Beauty vs Beast: Koo Koo Ka Choose
Howdy and Happy Monday it's Jason from MNPP here on this, the day that the great Dustin Hoffman is turning 79 years old. How do you think he now views the concerns of his most famous character Benjamin Braddock of The Graduate, from the opposite vantage point of age? Of course he's much older now than Anne Bancroft was as Mrs. Robinson (now that I think about it I'm actually right around Mrs. Robinson's age myself! Weird!) so he probably looks back at Ben with tired eyes at this point. Heck I do myself, although I don't know if I entirely sympathize with Mrs. Robinson's self-destructive behavior either. But where do you stand? That's right it's time for this week's "Beauty vs Beast" ...
PREVIOUSLY We are smearing our sad clown make-up off this morning and waving an over-sized glove goodbye to International Clown Week - last week's competition of clown couples in Short Cuts fell on the "Julianne Moore & Matthew Modine" side, probably because of the film's still infamous full-frontal fight scene - said Mark, speaking truth to privates:
"The genius of Moore is you watch her face in this instead of her special lady place."

Bournemouth, England: British banks that fail to shield their day-to-day banking from risky investment activities could be broken up, finance minister George Osborne said on Monday, bowing to political pressure to come down harder on reckless lenders.
European countries are retooling their financial systems to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crash, trying to strike a balance between popular calls for banks to be reined in and warnings that too tight a leash will choke off recovery.
With Britain's banks buffeted by scandal on an almost daily basis and part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland Plc (RBS) set to be fined up to £500 million this week for interest rate rigging, Osborne decided to "electrify" the ring-fence around banks' core retail activities with the threat of break-up.
"Our country has paid a higher price than any other major economy for what went so badly wrong in our banking system. The anger people feel is very real," Osborne said in a speech ahead of the publication of the banking reform legislation.
"Let's turn that anger from a force of destruction into a force for change," he said, speaking at the offices of US bank JPMorgan in Bournemouth, southern England.
London's structural reforms go further than France and Germany, which, like the US, are only demanding that banks separate out their proprietary trading, where they invest the banks' own funds, from the rest of their businesses.
The German government is, however, considering a new law that would see executives jailed for up to five years if they are found guilty of reckless behaviour that jeopardises their bank.
"We want to send a signal to Europe with this," a senior government source in Berlin said, adding that European Union (EU) moves in this direction "have not been fast enough".
Osborne said Britain could ban directors of failed banks from working in the industry.
Flick the switch
In the absence of international agreement, national regulators are increasingly pursing their own banking rules, to the dismay of industry insiders.
"We should not create unnecessary obstacles to pan-European rules with a zig-zag approach. A crisis does not stop at the national border. We need a coordinated approach in this area," said Michael Kemmer, managing director of the German banking association.
All the major British banks, including Barclays Plc, HSBC Holdings Plc and RBS, will be affected by the UK legislation, and the industry has warned it will put them at a disadvantage against continental rivals such as Deutsche Bank AG and BNP Paribas SA.
"This will create uncertainty for investors, making it more difficult for banks to raise capital, which will ultimately mean that banks will have less money to lend to businesses," the British Bankers' Association said in a statement.
But a source close to one of Britain's biggest lenders was more sanguine, saying that with banks already under intense scrutiny, Osborne's decision was a longer term move designed to prevent banks letting standards drop when attention is less focused on the industry.
Fitch ratings agency said the legislation could improve the credit profile of Britain's retail banks.
"It's probable that today's move represents the market's need for a bit of a breather after a spectacular run in January rather than any long-term concern over the ability of the banks to operate profitably under the ring-fencing rules," said Matt Basi, head sales trader at CMC Markets.
Under the new rules, the Bank of England will monitor whether banks' investment banking arms, which trade complex securities, are endangering their retail operations.
If the central bank finds a breach, the government will decide whether to flick the switch on the electric fence, forcing the bank to sell one of the two arms.
"Banks require discouragement from gaming the rules. They will always try to do so unless strong disincentives are put in place," said Andrew Tyrie, the chairman of the parliamentary commission that had demanded the break-up threat.
Enormous public anger
Part nationalised RBS is expected to be fined this week for its role in a global interest-rate-fixing scandal, and Osborne repeated his call for the settlement with US and UK regulators to be paid out of bankers' bonuses, saying it would cause "enormous public anger" if the taxpayer footed the bill.
The UK has spent over $100 billion propping up its over-leveraged banking system, much of it poured into RBS.
Asked whether there should be resignations at RBS as a result of the bank's imminent fine, Osborne said it was "quite well known that RBS are thinking about changes" amongst the investment bank's senior management.
"It is right that those who are responsible—not just those who are directly responsible, but also those who were dong the supervising—must also bear a level of responsibility," he said.
RBS is expected to part company with the head of its investment bank, John Hourican, when the settlement is announced later this week. REUTERS

NEW YORK (AP) - Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa have been denied entry to baseball's Hall of Fame with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades.
Bonds received just 36.2 percent of the vote, Clemens 37.6 and Sosa 12.5 in totals announced Wednesday by the Hall and the Baseball Writers' Association of America. They were appearing on the ballot for the first time and have up to 14 more years to make it to Cooperstown.
Craig Biggio, 20th on the career list with 3,060 hits, topped the 37 candidates with 68.2 percent of the 569 ballots, 39 shy of the 75 percent needed. Among other first-year eligibles, Mike Piazza received 57.8 percent and Curt Schilling 38.8 Jack Morris led holdovers with 67.7 percent. He will make his final ballot appearance next year, when Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine are eligible for the first time.

Last year, we wrote about a troubling set of lawsuits filed by Craigslist that seemed very dangerous, as it was pushing the boundaries on a series of legal concepts, all of which could come back to haunt Craigslist (and others) at a later date. For example, we noted that there was a "weak" DMCA claim that said that the captchas used by Craigslist to get people to prove they were human were actually "technological protection measures," and circumventing them violated the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA. While it's not the same lawsuit (apparently Craigslist had filed even more such lawsuits), Ray Dowd has the details of Craigslist winning a default judgment in a similar lawsuit after the company sued didn't bother to defend itself. This is why the concept of default judgments always concerns me. Now we have a ruling on the books that finds captchas are like DRM, and getting around them even if for perfectly legal purposes (can't read 'em?) may count as violating the DMCA.

Another one bites the dust. Craigslist was a great service. But you know the history of computers is if you sue you eventually will die. Look at Lotus (remember them) sued over their dropdown menus and voila no more Lotus and lots of dropdown menus. Maybe Craigslist wants to be owned by IBM like Lotus is. -

Oh, good grief.
Captchas are the dumbest things I've ever seen implemented as a "security" measure. If a site's that concerned over spam posts, then maybe it shouldn't offer the option.
Yes, this includes Craigslist. It's not as though spam posts aren't included with the captcha anyway.
I enjoyed the "can't read them" remark, given so many are designed so badly (to circumvent scripts which can read them) they're more annoying than they are helpful, especially with those few sites which cancel the request after two-three failed attempts.
It could be worse, I guess. They could all be Flash based. -

DMCA is perfect
The CAPTCHA thing seems like a perfect use of the DMCA to me. Of course the fact that the DMCA is the perfect tool for something like this helps prove how FUBAR it is, but it doesnt change the fact that this appears to be exactly the type of thing it was created for. -

Talk about a misnomer...
Digital Rights Management... er...
Captacha is not;
Digitial - it uses analog eyeballs as the determinating factor, and the analog human fingers as a converter to digital (via keyboard).
Rights - being identified as human via capcha does not award a "right", in the sense that a Gorilla that passes as capcha doesn't award them the "rights" of being identified as a "human".
Management - not managed in any sense, but totally on-the-fly. -
Jason Buberel (profile), 23 Mar 2010 @ 8:31am
Re: Talk about a misnomer...
I disagree about the inapplicability of the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions to CAPTACHA.
The anti-circumvention clause of the DMCA was intended to criminalize attempts to remove or bypass any security scheme from a digital product in order to gain unlawful access to a product.
This has been applied to the reverse engineering of hardware and software in the last few years. Although originally intended to protect entertainment media (music, movies, books), there is no reason the protections could not in principle be extended to a service such as Craigslist.com.
Or so I think. But I am not a lawyer. -

You get sued and can't be bothered defending yourself, right or wrong, you fucking deserve what you get. If the concept of default judgments didn't exist, you could sue someone, they tell you to go fuck yourself, don't show up in court, then what? You chase them until you run out of money? -

- Grab some fabric [heavy patterned cotton is best I find].
- You will also need: braid or trim, spray adhesive, a glue gun, dressmakers chalk, sharp scissors & a ruler.
- Spread your fabric out on a long table. Place the lamp shade on the fabric. Starting at the seam inside the shade trace along the sides of it [ with dressmakers chalk] while rolling the shade along the fabric until you get back to the seam you started at.
- Repeat for the other side of the shade. You should now have 2 lines running along the fabric.
- Join the lines up with a ruler allowing a 2cm seam at one end [ iron it over to give you a neat finish when the ends match up]. Cut out the pattern. You should now have a piece of fabric that when wrapped around the shade fits fairly perfect!
- In a well ventilated area generously spray your shade with the spray adhesive. You will also need to spray the cut out fabric piece. Wait a few minutes for the glue to become tacky.
- Starting again at the seam on the shade, carefully attach the fabric and press out any air bubbles as you go. If you make a mistake you can peel it back off and start again. But work fairly quickly if you can.
- Trim off any excess fabric around the edges of the shade with sharp scissors [being careful not to cut into the shade]. Allow glue to dry.
- Using a hot glue gun attach your braiding or trim to the edges of your shade, again beginning at the seam and ending by folding a small seam at the end of the braid and gluing down securely.

Project Day: Recovering Lamps
64 comments:
this is a really good method- and I know I do about 20 a day! though we start from scratch, a good tip would be if you dont want to add trim you can fold over a neatly trimmed edge and use double side tape to stick it down then add a white bias binding over the top for a professional finish that hides any mess
ReplyDeletemorning....don't know where us gals- particularly one opening a ahem...vintage boutique- has the time to do so many other creative jobs- the lamps are lovely...i have made bunting & a wall hanging out of the blue fabric with the lovely pink flowers & cabins on it for my daughter...we just adore that fabric...
hope all is going swimmingly on the shop front..
have a lovely weekend...setting all your goodies up?
melissa xxok, you've seriously inspired me, not even kidding! i just found an older lamp, sans the shade, taken from my mother's attic. i remember her using this lamp when i was little, in another house. so...now, i'm going to spray the base (it's an ugly faux gold and dingy) and attempt a shade project like you did! i love how those turned out. so eclectic, really fun. enjoy your sunday ;)

Pee wee Herman wants the ballroom to be his new playhouse.
As if the dance floor couldn't get any stranger, Paul Reubens admitted to E! online that he wants to be on next season of "Dancing with the Stars."
"DWTS" viewers know that Pee wee has been popping up in the audience this season, and here's why.
"[I go] to support my friend David Arquette," Herman said. "I hope to be dancing myself on Dancing With the Stars next season! That's why I'm there all the time, to get my face up there. Trying to butter up the producers and everything. Jury's out, I haven't heard yet."

In the meantime, Pee wee seems to be making the most of his new "DWTS" connections – he's also recruited the Kardashian Klan to appear in his upcoming third Pee wee Herman movie.
"I've already invited all of the Kardashian family to be in it," Reubens told E!'s Marc Malkin. "I hang out with them at Dancing With the Stars."

Our teenager is the nicest person in our family. We call him Clark Kent the Wonder Kid, because, in his heart, he believes he's Superman. Not that Clark is nice only because of ADHD. Far from it. But I think his intense focus on the present gives him a leg up on the rest of us. We hold on to past hurts in our present thoughts. Clark just forgets.
Clark's also kind. Last night my husband, Eric, asked him to do a few favors: get cash, get ice and pack it in a cooler, and get gas. "No problem," Clark said.
He got the ice. He got the gas. He got the cash. As he left in his own car to take his girlfriend home, Eric reminded him, "Put the ice in the cooler in the back of my car." "No problem," Clark said.
The alarm clock went off early. Eric scurried around getting ready for work, happy that he didn't have to stop for ice or gas. He went out the door. Half an hour later, my phone dinged with texts from my husband.
"Clark didn't put the top on the cooler — the ice is melted. Sometimes helping is not helpful, but he had a great attitude about it."
So, another day in the Clark Kent chronicles. The nicest person in the family? For sure. The rest — did I mention he's the nicest person in our family?

GENEVA, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- The second round negotiations of the Geneva II international conference on Syria concluded on Saturday noon without achieving tangible results, said UN-Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi.
Brahimi said a proposed agenda for the next round of talks was agreed between delegates of the Syrian government and the opposition, but did not reveal the exact date.
Addressing a press conference in the wake of the "laborious" last session held Saturday morning, he said an agenda for the next round of "when it does take place" was accepted by both sides.
During a new round of talks, the first day will be reserved for discussions over fighting against violence and terrorism, and the second day would be about the transitional governing body, according to Brahimi.
Delegations of Syiran warring sides admit no progress achieved
GENEVA, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Delegates of Syrian government and the opposition both admitted on Friday that the second round of the Geneva II conference failed to achieve any progress.
As this round of Syrian peace talks tumbled into the fifth day, UN-Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi, the mediator for the peace process, held separate meetings with the rival sides.Full story

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, at the small of the back. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood and help balance water, salt, and mineral levels in the blood.
Wastes filtered out of the blood are carried out of the body as urine. Urine flows through tubes (ureters) to the bladder, where it is stored until a person is ready to urinate. The waste and urine then leave the bladder and exit the body through a tube called the urethra.

The extra track would eliminate the current bottleneck where so many branches converge. It would increase the frequency of trains and enable effective reverse commuting to take place.

Thread: Unlocking 3GS on 5.1.1 for T-Mobile
08-14-2012, 09:07 AM #1Unlocking 3GS on 5.1.1 for T-Mobile
I've been trying to unlock my 3GS on T-Mobile for awhile now. It's on 5.1.1 with a baseband of 06.15.00, which is in fact unlockable with Ultrasn0w. I got past the iOS 5 activation by using Redsn0w and selecting 5.1 firmware (a trick I saw on Youtube). I installed Ultrasn0w and it didn't work, then I installed Ultrasn0w Fixer for 5.1.1, but it still didn't work. Every time I put the SIM in, it says "Searching" for 15 minutes then says "No Sim."
What am I doing wrong? Do I need Ultrasn0w Fixer for 5.1 since I selected that firmware, (even though it's on 5.1.1)? My next step was to restore, then try jailbreaking with Absinthe 2.0.4. But I can't get past the activation screen.
I tried the trick where you dial an emergency number and hold down the power button, but the moment I dial the emergency number, it immediately fails. I don't have time to hold down the power button. Any ideas?
Here is what my device is running:
iPhone 3GS 5.1.1 (9B206) - Apple's factory firmware
Baseband: 06.15.00
Serial: 88017...
have you tried to use redsn0w v0.9.14b2 to downgrade the ipad baseband to 05.13.04, a more stable unlockable baseband?
Thread Moved
I had heard about that, but didn't do it because Snowbreeze goes up to 06.15.00. Should I give that a try? And you did mean the iPad baseband?
I'm not following you...
Here's basically what's going on:
Right now you are currently on the iPad baseband, which is 06.15.00, and although that baseband is unlockable, it is an unstable baseband because there are some issues that has to do with the functionality of certain features of the iPhone
What I recommend you do is downgrade from the iPad baseband (06.15.00) to a stable baseband (05.13.04), and you "should" get your t-mobile signal back

Steamboy returns to the Ken April 1
Midnight Saturday and Sunday morning screenings
Scott Marks noon, March 28
"On Surfari Sessions Volume 2 is a compilation of soundtrack songs from the Fuel TV surf and travel show On Surfari, featuring pro surfer Shayne McIntyre," says Chad Farran about his most recent CD release.
Farran is a producer, songwriter, and drummer for local power trio Superunloader.
"The show got canceled after several seasons," explained Farran, "because Fox [the owner of the network] decided Fuel TV should show more agro, fighting shows than action sports and travel. I guess On Surfari was too wholesome..."
Farran did all the music for the show when it was on location in Africa, the Caribbean, Middle East, and Central America.
"I attempted to create a soundtrack that matched the locale using instruments, samplers, loops," says Farran. "Shayne would also give me pop tracks he liked, and I would create new music in the same style that he could replace them with.
"He would sometimes give me music he wanted to emulate and sometimes he would just say he needed a scary-spider song or a touching-turtle song or an uplifting song for a scene with an amputee soccer team. It varied a lot, and it gave me a chance to explore different genres, tones, instrumentation, and rhythms.
"Traveling was by far the best part of the job because I really enjoyed meeting local musicians and learning about their culture and music."
Indeed, traveling is one of Farran's great loves, but it almost killed him a few years ago while exploring caves in Belize.
"I had to go to the emergency room after multiple days of severe fever upon returning from Belize," says Farran. "Luckily, as I waited, the doctor recognized my name from watching On Surfari and gave me special treatment, which included a cut in line and a private room. I spent four days in the hospital undergoing a barrage of blood tests. They never did figure it out, sent me home, still feverish, with a 'good luck,' a pat on the back, and a $17,000 bill.
"Chris McGreal [Superunloader bass player] did a Google search for "Pneumonia in Belizean caves" and diagnosed me with histoplasmosis, a rare infection from inhaling the fungal spores that can emanate from bat shit. I cured myself by smuggling into the hospital a thermos of grapefruit-seed extract and hot water and began holistic inhalation while sleeping with bags of ice."
On Surfari Sessions Volume 2 is available on iTunes, Amazon, and CDbaby.com.
Great to see another Blurt contribution from Barbara Curry - been far too long since your excellent report last year on the Bands on the Run TV show. Hope to see your work here more often!

MyPadMedia – Buyer beware
There's a new digital comic sharing site that popped up in the past few days called MyPadMedia. Carly from Gear Diary researched the site, and she thinks it might be a scam. Here's what she wrote:
But what is MyPadMedia? Well, it is a site that promises the holy grail to readers: pay them $50 ONCE and the floodgates open for unlimited books. What books? Well, you need to pay to play, my friends. There's a testimonial that claims to have read "the whole twilight series", but if you want more you need to pony up some serious dough, sight unseen.
From all appearances, it is a huge scam.
Red flag #1: no searchable listings. Pay up, but they won't tell you what you're paying for!
Red flag #2: no mention of what publishers are on board.
Red flag #3: no mention of any digital rights management software.

- - SKAustin's Reef Diary - Part 2 (the 75g upgrade)
SKAustin's Reef Diary - Part 2 (the 75g upgrade) For those of you familliar with the original thread, this is a continuation of the original Reef Diary started on my 55gallon system. Most of the livestock and equipment here came from the original system. Nonetheless, I will give a bit of detail on the old equipment still in use, as well the new upgrades. The original 55 gallon Perfecto reef ready tank was replaced with a 75 gallon All-Glass reef ready tank. The corner overflow setup of the original 55g tank was a bit intrusive and I really like the back mounted overflow on the 75. The larger footprint also makes it much easier to hide the overflow. The Lighting unit was also upgraded from a 260w Power compact unit to a 492w HQI/PC combo. The improvement in both the growth, and coloration of the corals has been awesome. The two 270 gph rated Aquaclear 50 Powerheads were both replaced with 850 gph rated Hydor Koralia 3 Water circulation pumps, raising the flow rate by nearly 1200 gph. The Skimmer, a Coralife Superskimmer 125, is still in operation, but is slated for replacement providing everything goes according to plan. The Superskimmer, though it has served me well, is planned to be replaced by an ASM G3 some time hopefully this summer. The Sump, another piece carried on from the previous system, is also slated for replacement. While the existing sump is adequate, I am entertaining the idea of rebuilding the sump from a 30g breeder, as it has a larger footprint than the current 30 gallon long. All of the pre-existing plumbing for the sump has been replaced. The change from ribbed sump hose to vinyl hose has proven very effective for the reduction of noise, and it was a bit easier to work with. A new addition has made it to my system. A 48 hour power outage with temps in the teens outside occurred about a week after the move. This caused a bit more die-off in the system than we had hoped for. The result was an outbreak of hair algae and diatoms. The Return pump, A 634 gph Eheim 1260, pressure rated for 500 gph at a 4' head will remain in operation. I highly recommend this pump for anyone with a single overflow system. Its quiet operation, and easy disassembly for cleaning make this a great option for a return. The 200w All-Glass heater, which just burned out after 3 years of use, was replaceed with a 300 watt heater. I dont recall the brand at current. And Finally, the stand is yet another hand crafted by myself with the occasional assistance of my children. Thank you Cody (my oldest) for all of the help. I couldnt have done it without you. In my next post, I'll give a list of all the Livestock, and then it's on to the good stuff, The PICS! I'll try not to dissapoint. |
Kidding, of course. I can't wait for the pics, and the improvements sound amazing. |
Wow. Some impressive upgrades. I can hardly wait to see the pics. :-D (You never dissapoint!) |
i bet your loving the width and prob. even more loving the lights. cant wait to see pics myself. |
OK, so now on to the Livestock. As Ive said, most of this is from the previous system, but there are a few new additions, and a few losses. The losses include my firefish pair, whom both committed suicide at the old house, the Scooter blenny, who also perished before the move and my wife's purple rimmed fungia plate. The new stuff, I'll just indicate anything added to the system after the move. Fish 2 Amphiprion ocellaris (False Percula Clownfish) 1 Zebrasoma flavescens (Yellow Tang) 1 Paracanthurus hepatus (Blue Hippo Tang) 1 Pseudocheilinus hexataenia (Six Line Wrasse) 1 Ecsenius bicolor (Bicolor Blenny) 1 Elacatinus oceanops (Neon Goby) - MIA 3 Pseudanthias squamipinnis - (Lyretail Anthias) - NEW SPS Corals Green Montipora Capricornis - NEW Red Montipora Capricornis - NEW Purple Rimmed Green Montipora Capricornis - NEW Purple Rimmed Tan Montipora Capricornis - NEW ORA Miami Orchid Staghorn Acropora - NEW ORO Purple Polyp Birds Nest - NEW Starry Nights Acropora - NEW Pink Stylophora - NEW Green Slimer Acropora - NEW LPS Corals Favia Brain Blue/Green Open Brain Pink tipped Green Frogspawn Caulastrea furcata Candy Corals Orange Rimmed Plate Coral Acanthastrea Soft Corals Orange Bam Bam Zoanthids (orange - orange - orange - orange) Candy Apple Pinks Zooanthids (green - pink - pink - white) Radioactive Dragon Eyes Zoanthids (br green - br green - dk green - br green) Wham'n Watermelon Zoanthids (purple - red - purple - br green) Fire And Ice Zoanthids (green - blue - dk blue - red) Bird of Prey Zoanthids (br green - dk blue - dk blue/blue spk - br green) Horizons Zoanthids (orange - blue spk - dk blue - red) Kryptonite Zoanthids (purple - br green - purple - br green) Reverse Gorilla Nipples Zoanthids (orange - dk green - dk green - brown) Raspberry Redd Zoanthids (purple - red - red - brown) Peanut Butter Cup Zoanthids (orange - brown - brown - brown) Unidentified Zoanthids (purple - green - green - brown) Unidentified Zoanthids (orange - blue - blue - br green) Unidentified Zoanthids (orange - blue spk - blue spk - brown) Implosion Protopalythaos Devil's Hand Leathers Finger leathers Sarcophyton (toadstool leather) Green Sarcophyton Green Polyp Sarcophyton Purple Sinularia Sinularia Flexibis Green Nephthea Cabbage leathers Red Chili Leather Kenya Trees Purple Mushrooms Red Mushrooms Green Hairy mushrooms Green Striped Mushrooms Purple Striped Mushroom Blue hairy mushrooms Pink hairy mushroom Blue/Green Ricordea Orange Ricordea Pulsing Xenia |

Wedding Photographers Cover Fashion Week
February 15, 2013
This week, Jason Groupp and I had coffee with three wedding photographers who were in town covering the always-aspirational #NYFW. Loving this! Fashion photography is a huge inspiration in my daily life because it combines photojournalism, fine art and beauty, so when I see it reflected in wedding photography, I perk up a little.
Not only does street photography and being in "the pit" help hone your wedding-day snap reflexes, but as Jana Williams put it, when her (24,000) Facebook and (9,600) Instagram followers see haute couture in her various streams, her value as a wedding photographer spikes up. Check out some of the shots Jana, Mandie Haberman and Zabrina Deng captured this week. Anyone else cover cover fashion photography as a tool in your wedding work?

Get to Know: Golden Triangle [1]
Bordered by Lincoln Street, Speer Boulevard, and Colfax Avenue, this tiny neighborhood has, over the years, transformed from Victorian-era row houses to parking lots to, finally, the heart of Denver's arts scene. Its next evolution: shopping and nightlife destination. Here, a tour of our favorite spots.
The eight museums and dozens of galleries scattered throughout the Golden Triangle are cultural powerhouses, but the area's other attractions are worth a gander. Urban Roots' (1), 1000 Acoma St., plants and gardening supplies are perfectly suited for urban (read: tiny) spaces. Next, cruise down to Denver's best sneaker store, the 400 (2), 1010 Bannock St., for limited-edition kicks. On Cherokee Row, the Spice Boys of the Rockies (3), 309 W. 11th Ave., features special-blend spices like Rocky Mountain Heat, a blend of wasabi and jalapeño. Studio Bini's (4), 1030 Speer Blvd., quiet children's boutique along fast-moving Speer encourages customers to slow down and shop awhile among the clothing, toys, and itsy-bitsy shoes. The folks at Gateaux Specialty Cakes and Pastries (5), 1160 N. Speer Blvd., have perfected high-altitude baking—whiffs of sugar-laced frosting lure in passersby for bites of cavities-be-darned concoctions. Home remodelers can peruse the 20th- and 21st-century-revival designs at Z Modern (6), 1150 N. Speer Blvd., while those with more traditional tastes can sort through the rugs and antiques at the Collection (7), 899 N. Broadway. Cuba Cuba's (8), 1173 Delaware St., heaping platter of plantain chips dipped in a mango-habenero mojo makes for a great snack. Afterward, watch one of the Curious Theatre Company's (9), 1080 Acoma St., 10th-season performances. Before driving home, stop to marvel at the Denver Art Museum (10), 100 W. 14th Ave., shining in the moonlight.

In the Loop
I recognised several dozen people from the media and political arenas at the screening of In the Loop at the Film Festival last night.
It is a hilarious film about spin, about war, about MPs and their staff and the dialogue is just superb. The PM's head of Communications is obviously a take off of Alistair Campbell.
Political satire does not get much better. It has a 95% rating from Rotten Tomatoes.
Here are a few of the quotes:
Within your 'purview'? Where do you think you are, some fucking regency costume drama? This is a government department, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock!
That was the PM's Comms Head (Malcolm Tucker) to a departmental comms person.
Your swearing does not impress me. My husband works for Tower Hamlets and believe me those kids make you sound like… Angela Lansbury!
Her response.
"Climbing the mountain of conflict"? You sounded like a Nazi Julie Andrews!
To the Cabinet Minister who departed from "the line".
Oh, great. Meeting my constituents. It's like being Simon Cowell, only without the ability to say, "Fuck off, you're mental".
The Minister, Simon Foster
I gotta say, I don't understand how my parents' limited reproductive ability reflects badly on me. I'm the sperm that made it!
Chad a staffer after he is called an only child.
Go see the film or get it on DVD.

I would really like to thank you, John (and members of your staff whom I have not yet learned the names of) for all you did in helping us make this cake for our friend's wedding. They raved about it and even we were impressed as to how it turned out. We were confident in our ability to make a delicious cake but we had no idea how to make it look pretty. We owe a great deal of that success to all of you! Let me tell you some of the highlights of our experience with you. From our first visit to your store when John went far out of his way, minutes before close, to help give us confidence we could make our own roses. Even going so far as to open up product and demonstrate what could be done. We were impressed by the extremely helpful YouTube videos, the email advice you gave and even the kind encouragement of your staff during our multiple visits and multiple phone calls! How helpful it was when we built our vision out of dummy cakes in the back of your store to see if we even had a good idea. All of it helped us put out something we were so proud of. We could NOT have done it without your help. It truly was the epitome of customer service. In my day job I consult with car dealerships on how to be better at doing what you all excelled at and you can bet my experience with your business will come up over and over in my conversations. In my gratitude I will not only be as frequent a customer as I can but would truly enjoy telling the story to all those who will listen. You've proven to me what kind of people you are and what kind of business you're running. What impresses me the most is you could have taken the approach of up selling your classes and not give me any help outside of them. A business in a similar situation would have taken that approach. However, you have shown you truly value a customer and you have earned my loyalty. I feel incredible value from every dollar I spend at your store. We wish you much success and thank you for taking care of us so well!
