Face of individual who lived 700 years ago to be reconstructed by Mexican archaeologists
MEXICO CITY.- The face of a Pre-Hispanic skeleton, recovered in Michohacán 35 years ago by archeologist Roman Piña Chan, is to be reconstructed by specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and support from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), as part of the preservation and conservation job of an individual's skeleton remains who belonged to Occidental Cultures, over 700 years ago, and was apparently a member of the elite. Restorer Luisa Mainou, a member of the National Cultural Heritage Preservation Coordination (CNCPC) from the INAH, explained that the skeleton was found in a cornfield within the township of Ario de Rayon and then moved to the Regional Museum of Michohacan. The specialist, who leads the Organic Material Conservation and Restoration Workshop of the CNPC, clarified that as part of such treatment, a layer of glue that covered each of the skeletal remains, had to be removed....

Aging Chinese apologise for Cultural Revolution 'evil'
BEIJING (AFP).- As a teenager radicalised by China's Cultural Revolution, Zhang Hongbing denounced his mother to the authorities. Two months later a firing squad shot her dead.Now after more than 40 years of mounting guilt, Zhang has ruffled the silence that cloaks China's decade of turmoil with a public confession.Such rare apologies have been welcomed as a potential gateway to the collective soul-searching that could bring healing -- but is blocked by a ruling Communist Party whose critics say is unwilling to confront its own responsibility."Back then everyone was swept up and you couldn't escape even if you wanted to. Any kindness or beauty in me was thoroughly, irretrievably 'formatted'," Zhang told the Beijing News last week."I hope that from my self-reflection other people can understand what the situation was like at that time."...

New evidence contributes to unprecedented portrait of enslaved life at James Madison's Montpelier
ORANGE, VA.- The Montpelier Foundation today announced findings from new archaeological excavations at the lifelong home of James Madison – Father of the Constitution, Architect of the Bill of Rights, and Fourth President of the United States. Discovered by teams of professional archaeology staff, students and visitors participating in special "Archaeology Expeditions," two newly revealed subfloor pits provide an initial footprint for field slave quarters on the Montpelier landscape."Montpelier is unique among archaeological sites in the United States with regards to our ability to recreate and visualize the experience of enslaved life," said Matthew Reeves, Ph.D., Director of Archaeology and Landscape Restoration at James Madison's Montpelier. "Because the fields have lain fallow since Madison's time, the sites we are discovering are virtually undisturbed. We are meticulously documenting available evidence from the sites so we can begin to reconstruct the farm in a way that will authentically represent the complexity of life on the plantation."...

This document describes NEC PC-9800 series PCs (the original, predominant PC in Japan) about its history, features and differences from IBM PC/AT. The author emphasizes historical and cultural view as well as technical view, as the former may be harder than the latter for people outside Japan to know.
Supposed readers are programmers who have to write applications for PC-98, otaku people who love Japanese anime or H-games, or other people who are interested in PC-98 world.
By the nature of this document, the word "PC" is used to refer to not only IBM PC and compatibles but also personal computers in general.
Notice: the author is familiar with traditional PC-98 (until PC-9801DA/FA) but not with recent PC-98 (98MATE/FELLOW and later). Descriptions about recent models may be insufficient or contain some unintentional mistakes.
NEC provides family trees of PC-9800 series.
The original PC-9801.
8086/5MHz 128KB RAM 640x400, digital 8 colors C-bus slot x 6 external floppy drives (option) 298,000yen
Peripheral devices for PC-8000/8800 series can be connected. However, 98 was still a high-end machine at that time.
98 begins to spread in this age.
PC-9801E: no internal floppy drives (for owners of external drives) PC-9801F: internal 5" 2DD(640KB/720KB) floppy drive(s) PC-9801M: internal 5" 2HD(1MB/1.2MB) floppy drive(s)
Bus mouse is adopted as pointing device.
PC-9801VM is an epoch-making model that established standard specifications of classical 98. 98 gained a predominant market share in this age.
V30/10MHz (V30 is 8086/80186-compatible, faster CPU by NEC) 640x400, 16 colors of analog 4096 colors, internal 5" 2HD/2DD dual-mode floppy drives
PC-9801VX is a 286 version of VM.
98 began to adopt 3.5" floppy drives.
PC-9801U: V30, 3.5" 2DD x2 PC-9801UV: V30, 3.5" 2HD/2DD x2 PC-9801UX: 286, 3.5" 2HD/2DD x2
The mainstream 98 acquired 386 CPU.
PC-9801RA 386DX/16-20MHz, 5" 2HD/2DD x2 PC-9801RS 386SX/16-20MHz, 5" 2HD/2DD x2 PC-9801RX 286 /16-20MHz, 5" 2HD/2DD x2 PC-9801ES 386SX/16-20MHz, 3.5" 2HD/2DD x2 PC-9801EX 286 /16-20MHz, 3.5" 2HD/2DD x2
5" and 3.5" models are integrated. /U shows 3.5" floppy model.
PC-9801DA,DA/U 386DX/20MHz PC-9801DS,DS/U 386SX/16MHz PC-9801DX,DX/U 286
F stands for "File slot", proprietary expansion bay for storage devices.
PC-9801FA,FA/U 486SX/16MHz PC-9801FS,FS/U 386DX/16MHz PC-9801FX,FX/U 386SX/16MHz
At this time, 98 is threatened by attack of PC/AT compatibles with DOS/V. 98 faced and had to compete PC/AT's cost/performance.
98's counterattack against PC/AT compatibles. 98MATE is designed for use with Windows 3.x and 98FELLOW is for use with MS-DOS.
98 continues to adopt PC/AT component technologies.
Now 98 desktop has three brands.
ValueStar: advanced desktop X-MATE: business desktop CanBe: personal/family desktop
In November 1997, NEC announced the end of PC-9800 series. Precisely, they proudly announced a new PC series named "PC98-NX", that are designed based on Microsoft's PC98 specification. Yes, they are basically a PC/AT compatible. Don't be confused between PC-98 and PC98.
PC98-NX series has a wide variety from a palmtop model to a desktop model and a small server model. They are somewhat "radically" designed PC98 as follows:
NEC says "they are new generation PCs, neither PC-9800 nor PC/AT compatibles". In fact, people may feel hesitation to call PC98-NX "PC/AT compatibles" because they are based on PC98 specifications, that is, they are partly denying traditional PC/AT architecture such as ISA expansion slots. However, the author suspects that this rhetoric of NEC shows that they wanted to avoid to be blamed "NEC has abondoned PC-9800 and switched to PC/AT compatibles." At least, PC98-NX is never PC-9800; software for PC-9800 never works on PC98-NX. The name "PC98-NX" looks like a camouflage to conceal from users difference between PC-9800 and PC98. In addition, "NX" is drawn more or less bigger than "PC98" in PC98-NX's logo. IMO this fact implies that NEC tries to emphasize "NX" rather than "PC98", for "PC98" will get obsoleted as time passes. "PC98" is a mere bridge with which NEC switches from PC-9800 to PC/AT compatibles.
NEC also announces they will continue to support PC-9800, but it is obvious to everyone that NEC is switching from PC-9800 to PC98-NX and PC-9800 will disappear soon. PC-9800 is finally declared to end in its 15th anniversary.
Overall architecture and environments are similar between PC-98 and PC/AT.

Nowadays, PC-98 is getting more and more similar to PC/AT compatibles due to hardware cost merit and ease of porting system software. The characteristics of PC-98 listed below may be sometimes of traditional models rather than recent ones in order to emphasize differences from PC/AT.

Traditionally, PC-98 has been using a 640x200(15kHz) or 640x400(24kHz) display monitor. However, modern PC-98 supports an (S)VGA display.
Traditional C-bus expansion boards are wide and almost square shape while ISA/PCI cards are rectangle shape. C-bus expansion slots are covered with removable slot covers. You can install or remove C-bus boards without opening the case of your PC-98.
N.B. C-bus expansion adapters are usually called "boards", while ISA adapters are usually called "cards". This difference is interesting as it implies difference of size and shape between them.
Recent PC-98 has PCI slots.
Unlike PC/AT, which basically supports only 2 floppy drives, PC-98 can support max 4 drives per medium type. Below are supported medium types. Underlined are widely used formats.
medium type | capacity | PC/AT |
One remarkable characteristic of PC-98 floppy drives is that 5 1/4" drives and 3 1/2" drives are logically equivalent (except 3 1/2" 1440KB). You don't have to distinguish them, for example, when you run DISKCOPY.
External SASI hard drives (max 40MBx2) were used in early days.
NEC released a standard SCSI adapter board named PC-9801-55. However, for a certain reason, this adapter did not recognize hard drives made by manufacturers other than NEC. So peripheral device manufacturers bundled their own "55-compatible" SCSI adapter board with their SCSI hard drives. Thus many 55-compatible SCSI boards were supplied and became the de facto standard. (However, serious incompatibility problems took place because CHS translation parameters were different from manufacturer to manufacturer.)
Anyway, external SCSI hard drives gradually replaced SASI drives and became the standard storage device for PC-98.
As SCSI hard drives spread wide, other SCSI devices (such as CD-ROM drives and MO disk drives) also became common. In particular, MO disk drives are well supported by SCSI adapters and NEC MS-DOS. You can use an MO disk drive without installing any additional device drivers, and you can even boot an operating system from an MO disk. This is one of the reasons why 3 1/2" MO disks are now the most widely used removable medium in Japan.
NEC adopted internal IDE hard drives since 98MATE/FELLOW due to lower cost. Later they adopted ATAPI CD-ROM drives too. IDE hard drives and CD-ROM drives are now predominant also in PC-98, like PC/AT compatibles.
Ancient PC-98 has only beep sound. NEC shipped an FM-synthesizer sound board named PC-9801-26. Although it did not have a very rich sound generator (3 FM channels and 3 SSG channels), this board and its compatibles became standard sound boards as much game software supported them.
98MATE was shipped with a new, enhanced FM sound generator (6 FM channels, 5 rhythm channels and 3 SSG channels) with CD-quality PCM sound. This sound generator was also released as a C-bus sound board named PC-9801-86, so this feature is called "86 sound generator". Again many DOS-based game titles supported this sound generator as well as 98MATE's 256-color graphic screen. This sound generator is a must for DOS-based game players even now.
Recent PC-98 models (X-MATE and later) have PCM sound generator dedicated for use under Windows.

multiple OS boot | difficult | standardized, easy |
Drive letter assignment | A:,B:=floppy drives, C:=hard drives |
A:=boot device (floppy or hard drive), Q:=CD-ROM (customary) |
98's partitioning and booting is much easier and more flexible than PC/AT.
Reflecting this flexibility, drive letter assignment rule is much different from PC/AT. In general, the boot device will be assigned to A:, other devices following.
A: | 1st floppy drive |
B: | 2nd floppy drive |
C: | active primary partition of 1st hard drive |
D:, E:, ... | other partitions, additional drives |
Suppose you have 2 floppy drives and 2 partitions in a hard drive.
If you boot from floppy (from either 1st or 2nd drive)
A: | 1st floppy drive |
B: | 2nd floppy drive |
C: | 1st partition |
D: | 2nd partition |
E:, F:, ... | other partitions, additional drives |
If you boot from hard drive (from either 1st or 2nd partition)
A: | 1st partition |
B: | 2nd partition |
C: | 1st floppy drive |
D: | 2nd floppy drive |
E:, F:, ... | other partitions, additional drives |
Therefore, YOU MUST NOT ASSUME C: IS HARD DRIVE! Most oversea software for PC/AT is written under this assumption and sometimes hard to install on 98.

Chat Roulette
I forgot that I haven't posted about Chat Roulette.
It is a treacherous world, but for those brave enough to enter there is good laughs at the end of the rainbow..if you make it there.
Char Roulette is very simple.
You simply get connected to someone in a video chat randomly.
That's it.
Some random person who has also logged on will be connected to you.
The catch is.....
Most of the time it is some dude showing you his schlong.
Fuck if I know. I guess weird dude's like showing their dinks to people on the internet.
The most fun you can have really is to just rip on people to their face. Sure it is juvenile and somewhat mean, but sometimes you get into some funny conversations or you can even catch a homie on there if you win the chat roulette lotto.
Try it for yourself.
Not at work because you will most surely get a huge boner on your screen (no homo).
being lame,
chat roulette,
dude's boners

I went on it for about a week, then I had I had to ask myself just how many cocks I was prepared to look at before I found someone worth chatting to/looking at.
I gave up. Best moment for me was when we saw the gif of the guy hanging by his computer, we all thought it was real for a good minute, then without getting down from his noose he called us losers and pressed next.

text: The economic structure of Jim Henson's cartoon realm called Fraggle Rock reflects our own. In one HBO episode, the industrious, hard-hatted Doozers prepare to leave the rock, which would have quickly left the Fraggles starving. Somehow, politicians and powerbrokers in this country don't see the simple parallel. If the U.S. continues to send its manufacturing overseas — with the latest proposal General Motors plants — the result will be hungry U.S. families.

Day 2: Nice weather, nice tunnels and lakes
Day 2.
Just get the hell outta here! The night on the Schiessplatz wasn't the most comfortable, we just wanted to hit the road and get going.
Everybody knows that cycling in switzerland is awesome, you just need to follow the signs and you'll get to your destination. Easy. And with a map on a map holder, absolutely nothing can go wrong. And two people, of which one has ...
Day 1, late start, high velocity and a late camp
... the way down from the mountains. I thought " Yaa, these little tunnels...piece of cake, no problem bru"
The results: Stef was positively surprised after the first tunnel, I was blown away from the dust, the cars and the volume levels a normal car can produce in a tunnel. It's LOUD, and there is less air going through then through a chain smokers lungs!
But I also had my Yippieeh moment. In the last tunnel ...
A day to go hungry

Stelvio summit and take the other road passed the old custom buildings and into
the pass this way means I have done all three legs this trip. Also the older
road in Italy is not so well protected at the cliff edges and so should make
some good cliff edge riding videos.
away from the pass and onto the rather busy but fast moving road to OfenPass.
is a good main road and the pass has some ...
You look happy to meet me
Now found this hotel, and again it seems I struck gold.
I was in a place called Chur, found some wifi, and had a look at what was about?
Now to say it was a good price, to say I was lucky cos they had only been doing online bookings for 3 days, but best was the ride up, so bendy and now I'm high above the village/town and can't wait for breakfast and the ride down.
Got in the room, made friends with my hosts, had a few ...
Smaller than Marco, but bigger than Ollie, just!
Wanted to stop but, the only car park was full, the one street already had four motorbikes parked outside the only pub, and the McDonalds seat was taken, and the local hooker had already pulled the mayor!
Obviously all thats a joke, but I did get through it quite quickly, and wanted to find somewhere to stay.

Not sure exactly what Ford is up to here, but early Sunday the tweet below showed up in our stream along with the above picture attached. Maybe it's a special edition? Maybe its the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Be sure to tune if you are able, as we will and will udpate you as soon as we know what's going on here.

It isn't time for a body change is it? Yeah maybe it is… Maybe they will go back to an attractive body style and get away from this "retro" look.
@stangnet it's the teaser of "Need for Speed" movie with a 2013 Mustang in it I believe.
I love the retro looks, and I doubt it's a 2015 reveal, they'll save that for a big autoshow or something…
Must be a special edition–but why 4pm on a Monday? Not everyone has a tv at work

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This was a fun read. I tend to love books that have the Greek gods still existing. This book was pretty funny. When gods fall out of favor with there followers they become just like anyone else. In this book the mighty Olympians cope with living together in a London town house and actually having to work normal jobs. Of course when your a god a spat between roommates can threaten the human race. IT was a really quick read, funny but not really high class lit. Ever wondered what would happen if the Greek gods did exist in this era? What would they do? How would they live? Would things be any different? Then welcome to 21st century London, England. With the gods fallen out of grace for some time now they can be found in one of the old houses in London, which they bought in the 17th century, back when they had money. The house is in a terrible state and even though Hephaestus is trying really hard to keep up with all the demands, it isn't really working out. But everything appears to change when Aphrodite wants revenge. With a mortal in the picture now, a cleaner, things seem to go different than first intended. This story starts quite interesting because Artemis encounters something she had not expected. When she takes her usual walk around the park with some of the dogs, yes she is now a dog walker, she suddenly comes to a stop. There was something that shouldn't be here, she noted. On a spot that before was empty, now stands a grown tree. When Artemis starts to talk to the tree she finds out several things: 1. Apollo is a total ass (actually this is only, again, confirmed) 2. The tree is not actually a tree but an Australian woman who denied Apollo "his pleasure" "Mortals aren't going to be able to understand you, I'm afraid." said Artemis. "Just gods. And other vegetation. I wouldn't bother talking to the grass, though. It isn't very bright." After she found out those two points, Artemis started for home right away. Back there another situation had come into existence, causing Aphrodite to want revenge on dear Apollo. After his vow to not harm any humans for at least ten years, or until he gets his power back, things really get started. During a performance of Apollo for a TV-show, Eros (Aphrodite's son) hits him with a love-arrow. At that point the god of the sun falls desperately in love with a mortal woman. You may already have figured this out: Things just tend to go wrong when Apollo gets involved, at least in this book. Yes, I admit: I didn't really think this through. When I first saw this book I thought: OMG WOW THIS IS AMAZING! GREEK GODS IN THE 21ST CENTURY?! *almost having trouble thinking clearly, nearly fainting etc*. This book had so much potential but, I think, it could have been written better. Just let me explain myself here. First of all I think the concept was really great and original. I haven't read a book about gods in this time period so far and I was very curious about it. The first few chapters were all right, good way to get into the book as it were. But then things started to change for me. It all went to fast to my opinion. The writer could have done so much more with this! But unfortunately when things started to get interesting there were skips in time or a shift of view (for instance from Artemis' to Apollo's point of view). It simply wasn't all there for me. Don't understand me wrong, though. The story was fun and it was a quick read because of the short chapters and the language was good to follow. The gods kept their attitudes and appearance in the story, there was even a flashback to an encounter some thousands of years ago between Eros and Apollo about a girl named Daphne. And even though Marie Phillips did a good job putting old gods into the modern era, it just missed that something, that little expansion that would have made this story awesome and worthy of a sequel. However that didn't happen. And even though there were some points of action in the story, the same happened that I already mentioned above: something was missing for me. To sum it up: The book is very original, the story was funny and easy to follow but it could have been more in my opinion. no reviews | add a review

Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London townhouse-and none too happy about it. And they've had to get day jobs: Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator, Dionysus as a DJ.Even more disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees-a favorite pastime of Apollo's-is sapping their vital reserves of strength. Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed-but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?

We travelled up Harbour Town to do some shopping.. Got a pair of Levi Jeans for less than SGD 17!! It's the only pair left.. Didn't manage to get much things, pretty much the same usual brands that we saw in DFO. In the end, bought the most items from Woolworths, food, food and more food.. We got quite a no. of their house brand prdts, it was pretty decent in terms of price savings and food quality..
Before I continue on to Sunshine Coast, The Big Pineapple and The Ginger Factory, I have to admit that I did not fully enjoy and explore the 3 places.. Not much photos taken as well..
All down to one reason: I was feeling like crap due to excessive drinking.. Before you jump into any conclusions, I need to explain myself.. Red wine is extremely cheap, or should I say, awful red wine is extremely cheap.. We played some card games during the night, and I was on a roll.. A losing roll.. I practically finish most of the wine.. Till now.. I can't take any red wine.. -_-"
Anyway, continuing on the trip, we drove to Sunshine Coast and the beach was just amazing.. Clear cool waters and light sandy beach.. As mentioned, didn't manage to get in the waters due to bad condition.. =( However, when we got to Sunshine Coast, I presume it was a surfing class taking place.. So.. Plenty of eye candy.. Made the trip just a little more worth it..
We also went to The Big Pineapple and The Ginger Factory, but we didn't went in to play.. We just visited the retail stores and roamed around the places where admission ticket is not required..
- Buy the pineapple from The Big Pineapple, it's juicy and extremely sweet..
- Just opposite The Big Pineapple is the Macadamia Nut Farm, definitely worth a visit to buy the Macadamia.. Nothing much to look but the Macadamia is delicious!!
Following The Big Pineapple, we went to The Ginger Factory.. I for one dislike Ginger.. So wasn't very fond going, but my mum loves ginger, so was hoping to get some ginger candy for her.. There are other shows in the Factory, but of course, wasn't in the mood to go.. Thankfully, there are a few stores inside the Factory, so we spent some time shopping and just looking around.. Honestly, other than the shows (I didn't get to go, so unsure if it's good), shopping and the tram ride, there pretty nothing much you can do..
We concluded our Brisbane trip with lots of shopping around the same places, casino time and losing our way.. Apologies for the very "undetailed" trip.. It's quite some time from now.. Still hope you've enjoyed reading..

Economics is underpinned by scarcity vs the opposite. Just coming across several trillion tons of water would completely devalue their unit of currency. This find would have been the beginning of serious depression that would have dominoed into the complete collapse of financial quidproquo that cement their society. The Kazon Ogla would have been idiots to take the Ocampa's water, or admit that it exists, or behaved like they had a secret stash... In fact the most sensible thing they could do to preserve the status quo, and their on apparent wealth, would have been to destroy the underground Ocampan reservoirs. Which just leaves the magic replicator technology that was threaded through the Ocampan City, of which any one terminal therein was more than capable of remaking that ocean or making a fair stab at the impersonation of any other ocean even if it was the size of the entire universe given enough time and power... Or were the Kazon too slack witted to forecast their own doom? If they weren't, then that just means that Caretaker was too slack witted to forecast the Kazon's ability to intelligently side step doom and ruination of their civilization.
I'm not sure it was a currency in that sense. More a commodity, and one essentiell to basic survival. If they got their hands on large deposits of water, more than they need, they would start to value other less essentiell stuff.
All currency is is a commodity in absentia of something real which once upon a time a long time ago was simply the gold standard. How long would it take them to get their shit together? 5 weeks or 5 years? It's the length of the depression that can be categorized as "dark ages" if it gets silly enough.. Considering the malleability of the sects, it wouldn't be the destruction of Kazon et all, but a complete shift of the power structure of the sects if not the complete restructuring of the sects which would happen just a little bloodily as opportunists try to seize control. Neelix said the Ogla wanted water, and others have water and want other stuff. The delicate balance would be stuffed. So really, it's just the Kazon as we know them would have been destroyed rather than the kazon forever and always. My apologies for being so vague. The real problem is that everyone else in the sector would have to figure out how to pay for theOcampan cormaline that the Ogla were stock piling from their refinery on Ocampa and had now no longer any idea how to price, and since they had all the water they needed... didn't need to mine anymore anyways, so the rest of the sector was shit out of luck as their fleets began to run down because of the lack of a vital and "rare" (yes, DS9 I know) mineral essential to thei r spaece going societies. Besdes 90 percent of the water which the Kazon took was probably used as coolant for the drills burring into the Cormaline deposits...
But water isn't currency. Currency is a substitute for a thing of value, an symbol of exchange used in circumstances where direct barter is inconvenient or unfeasible. Water is an actual commodity, and trading water for other stuff is simple barter, not a monetary exchange. Never mind, of course, that the idea of a starfaring power lacking for water is completely nonsensical. Water is one of the most abundant substances in the universe. There are thousands of times more water in the comets and moons of the outer Solar System than there is on the entire planet Earth. Heck, the only reason there is water on Earth is because a small fraction of those comets crashed into it over billions of years. So the Kazon lacking water is as crazy as... oh... Voyager being unable to find deuterium.
There are no space dollars? There are no space dollars. Just barter. x amount of water = y amount of cormaline. Everyone wants cormaline which in this part of the galaxy is rare and useful enough to possibly be indispensable or irreplaceable, why else deal with scum like the kazon? Suddenly after the Ocampan oceans are opened to exploitation... 1,000,000x Water > 1,000,000/y cormaline. Until the Ogla figure out what they want, if anything, cormaline is the most priceless substance there is in that corner of the Delta Quadrant if their many, many buyers can't find a alternate supplier, who will also be jacking up their prices since the Kazon seem to be on holiday. Do the Kazon have tractor beams? Harvesting comets would difficult with grappler harpoons like Archer's Enterprise tried to waddle on with. And if they tried to build a big honking space gun on Ocampa like the human had on Mars in the 22nd century to divert the trajectory of comets towards towards the Martian polar caps, even a senile old half asleep codger like caretaker would blow it the frakk up since his big honking space guns are bigger.

Great Northern Way Campus Ltd (GNWC) is a private limited company and educational enterprise located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is the offspring of a consortium of four local academic institutions (the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Emily Carr University of Art and Design and the British Columbia Institute of Technology, each of whom own a 25% interest in the company) that has attracted significant public and private funding. The company is the trustee of the Great Northern Way Campus Trust, whose stated purpose is to create "a centre of convergence for arts and culture, digital media and the environment."[1] At present, it manages a Master's degree in Digital Media, which admitted its first students in the Fall of 2007.
The GNWC Trust has two principal activities: operating the Centre for Digital Media, which offers the Masters of Digital Media graduate degree, and revitalizing its land parcel to bring together business, academia and the general community into an emerging district for the digital and creative sectors. Eight projects, which include both new construction and renovations of existing buildings, are underway and several businesses in the digital media sector currently rent space on the campus.[2]
In 2001, the industrial distributor Finning International donated 7.5 hectares (19 acres) of former industrial land in the False Creek flats area of Vancouver to the GNWC Trust formed by the four academic partner institutions, though Finning retained a 20% interest in the site. No public money was spent, and the declared aim was "to cover the costs of future educational programs and buildings at the False Creek flats with revenues generated by private sector development."[3] Beyond the tax write-off advantages, Finning also hoped that a further four-acre site that it kept for itself would now "be easier to market because of the university component." In the words of Bob Laurie, Finning's real estate consultant: "We're not philanthropists. We're looking at creating shareholder value and that's what I think we've done today."[3]
By way of a trust deed, dated September 15, 2002, management and development of the property was delegated by the four partner institutions to a limited company to act as their trustee, Great Northern Way Campus Ltd.
A Shareholder's Agreement governs the Trustee and stipulates that one representative of each shareholder will sit on the Trustee's Board, along with up to eight other directors, to guide the Trustee's activities. The board chair is Morgan Sturdy, "a high tech entrepreneur" and director of Discovery Parks Inc. The company's president is Matthew Carter, who "has an extensive background in real estate finance and development." [4]
In 2006 the Province gave $40 million as an endowment fund to establish the Centre for Digital Media. The Government's objective with this funding was to build Vancouver's prominence as a digital media hub. Among other things, this included launching a Masters of Digital Media (MDM) graduate degree program that would be operated by the Trustee and issue a degree credentialed by all four partners.
The Trustee has outsourced operational management of the MDM program to SFU under a Management Services Agreement.
As of 2012, GNWC President Matthew Carter claimed that its academic program would break even financially (previously it had been running a deficit in the order of $388,000 per year[5]), and the debt incurred from the site acquisition would be repaid.[6]
In January 2013, British Columbia premier Christy Clark announced the province's intention to fund a $130 million relocation of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design to the GNWC property.
Centre for Digital Media[edit]
The Centre for Digital Media is described as together business, academia and the general community into an emerging district for the digital and creative sectors in Vancouver, British Columbia. It offers a full-time Masters of Digital Media program and a part-time version, the Executive Masters of Digital Media, as well as student housing. The area immediately surrounding the Centre has office space for digital media companies, which not only recoups revenue but is also meant to facilitate the interaction between the Centre and the digital media industry.[7]
Digital Media Industry[edit]
Space at the GNWC complex is occupied by the four partner academic institutions, plus a number of commercial tenants and student housing.
From 2012 onwards, GNWC has had commercial tenants that are aligned with the Trust's vision for the campus, including Scalar Decisions, Blackbird Interactive, GRAND (Graphics, Animation and New Media Canada), Discovery Parks' Generator, Conquer Mobile, and Image Engine.[8]
In 2012, Image Engine partnered with Rainmaker Entertainment Inc. and Digital Domain and received financial backing from Toronto-based Scalar Decisions to set up a render farm at GNWC. Dubbed 'RenderCloud,' the facility's goal is to offer scalable, high-end VFX development capabilities to major movie studios, and prevent them from being lured away to competitors in countries such as New Zealand and England. The RenderCloud facility is leasing 3,500 square feet of space from GNWC at reportedly 'favorable' rates.[6]
Academic research projects that rent space at GNWC include BCIT's Centre for the Advancement of Green Roof Technology.[9] BCIT also offers trades and apprenticeship programs and courses at GNWC.
In addition, UBC Properties Trust and the Justice Institute of British Columbia have offices at the GNWC district. Some space is also rented for artistic production and rehearsal purposes.[10] For example, eatART, a charity that fosters new media art research with a focus on large-scale, kinetic and robotic sculpture, resides in a shop on the property. Also, the Equinox and Monte Clark Galleries opened a location on the GNWC property in 2012 and are now located in the 525 building.
GNWC has hosted several film productions and special events. These include LANcouver, which was held at the warehouse in the Centre for Digital Media in May 2011, and Mini Maker Faire Vancouver, which was held at the same location in June 2011.[11]
Property development[edit]
GNWC earns most of its income from property management[5] and has announced ambitious plans to redevelop its property. The land is to be divided into three subdistricts: the Centre for Digital Media, Art Park District, and the home of a relocated Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
GNWC built a new Centre for Digital Media building on the east side of the property. The building includes teaching facilities, office space, meeting and event spaces and 76 student housing units. It opened in September 2012.[12]
At the west side of the property, the GNWC recently sold two land parcels to Onni Development Ltd., on which it plans to build approximately 200 residential and artist studio units on one parcel, and live/work units on the other. The revenue generated by the sale of land is being used to pay off debt accrued from purchasing the property and establishing the Masters of Digital Media program.
Further revenue generated from investments and property rental income will be put towards an endowment enhancement fund that will be used to fund MDM student scholarships, CDM-branded events to bring students and the digital media industry professionals together, as well as future on-site developments that align with the Trust's vision.

The lace was a total bitch - for me anyway. It's really a simple lace pattern but I'm not sure I'm cut out for such concentration. My knitting friend, Michele told me to use a lifeline and stitch markers - wonderful suggestions that I will definitely use the next time I knit lace (which is likely to be the Jared Flood Willoughby stole I love so well).

I've got to admit...
The February Baby Sweater truly is the perfect baby sweater, a claim made by Elizabeth Zimmerman and now corraborated by me. The Dream in Color Classy yarn completely seals the deal. It's just gorgeous yarn.
I'm going to whip up a quick pair of baby booties and then I'll be done. Whew! I'm tired of knitting presents. I'm ready to get back to my original objective: making sweaters that fit. Yesterday I got the first skein of Ultra Alpaca for my Handstrikket cardigan... swatching in process. It's nice to begin.

That yarn is just gorgeous.
You did a lovely job with the FBS.
I walked into my LYS this week and the proprietor was wearing her F Lady S..also I noticed that on Rav people are knitting them for Feb again!
I wish I could wear it, but the yoke does not look good on amples, although it does come in the sizing.
Kudos for a beautiful baby gift, Julie!

curved stair handail questions for professionals10/9
Years ago I was the only stair builder I knew who manufactured curved stair handrail from solid wood. In order to do this I had to rediscover and learn archaic woodworking methods from more than a century ago. Today larger stair companies have at their disposal, 5 axis CNC machinery and sophisticated software. These "robots" can do almost anything but at what point will they be doing it all? And why arent they doing it all, already? Heres a few more questions 1. Everybody knows the advantages of pre-molded, factory bending rail, but solid handrail is simply better (true or false?) 2. What would you say is the current percentage of the application of solid rail vs. laminated handrail within the stair building industry today? 3. What are some of the most common applications of solid rail? 4. Under what circumstances might you consider outsourcing for custom made, solid railings? 5. If youve already opted for solid railings, why? 6. Do you utilize both solid and bent handrail within your current operations? 7. In a reversal of history, do you think that bent rail will ever be eliminated from the trade or will there always be room for both? 8. Is the currently available CNC software and machinery now completely foolproof, satisfactory and up to the task? 9. Are you perhaps among the majority of stair builders today whove never really needed or used solid curved stair railings and probably never will? 10. Perhaps from a financial perspective, at what level must CNC railings be in order to compete with your bending rail preference? Thanks for any responses.
First, I now only average one curved stair per year. We used to do more with more space, and more demand. I work in a residential market where the builder (sic) has carpenters bid and make everything, so quality is very low as well as expectations. Bending rail is the norm. In 40 years, I have never had anyone request solid curved or twisted - wreathed - rails. They do not know enough to even know it can be done, much less have an opinion. I feel lucky to get the job and am hearing all sorts of talk about how to lower the cost (like those gawdawfull 5/8" iron pickets), so there is no way I can throw in a suggestion for wreathed rails, made by someone else. I simply don't outsource since no one cars about my work as much as I do. 1. It may be perceived as better by some, within the industry. Historically, the connections between sections are the weak point and what some people don't like when they fail - get loose. I prefer long bent laminated rails as that is 100% what I am familiar with.
dont get me started,lol. i have done millwork for 30 years. i have worked for 3 stairbuilders in the last 12. from traditional to the highest technology currently available. i can tell you a dozen ways to build stairs. there are risks and failures with each. BUT, given a choice i would always build in a traditional manner. in some cases ,there may be a reason for a short wreath near or with a fitting but i feel with a properly laid out stair ,they are few. with software a stair can be designed like a roller coaster, the handrail as well. its weird. with varying runs and radiusing points the stair may "work" but they just dont feel right. the last stair shop i worked for with a 5 axis had a 50% failure rate. parts in the dumpster not salvageable. i will stick with bending rail,fittings, and rail bolts. 10/12
I guess I should first correct my spelling as in handrail and professional I hate looking stupid (which is much worse than actually being stupid). Dave may be right at 98% bender rail but why would stair companies be buying 5 axis machinery? These things dont come cheap and real operational costs can be staggering. I know theyre out there though and will continue to make inroads into the marketplace. Im actually surprised theyre not doing more right now. Yes Steve, I know some of the answers and have opinions but Id honestly like to hear from others. According to Dave for example, Ive been chasing 2% of the market (and probably for the One Percent). Daves probably right. Dougs comments as in 50% CNC scrap may be right-on too but Im sure there are others who sing-songs of praise. Todays CNC capabilities are truly astounding and should only become more so Im also a bit dumbfounded by stair builders who only use bender rail. The limitations to me, seem so obvious. Perhaps its just from my point of view though, since all I see are stairs with non-bendable situations. I recently completed railings for a circle stair on a 6 radius with easements-to-straight above and below. This week I shipped continuous railings for a stair with 135 degree plan-view angles. These parts are for a stair remodeling job. The owners in this case, are paying a small fortune to correct a truly, terrible balustrade. 10/13
There is a visible thrust towards CNC for three reasons:
I don't think any of my jobs over the years would have tolerated a 50% failure rate. I think folks just don't want to get dirty, get splinters and a bad back - in short perform manual labor - anymore. They do not want to have to spend all that time acquiring knowledge and skills that are hard to learn, and still you can never be too sure you are right. They want to push around electrons on a screen, and get a sure thing, easily. The smart shop would get their CNC running and then bring in Jim B or similar, and pay them exorbitantly to meld their knowledge with the requirements of the cad/CNC. The goal would be to train the next generation how to think like Jim does, but to act - to execute- with the machine. The CNC will then become an extension of the brain just as a compass or bandsaw is an extension of the hand. I know of an artist that wanted to do digital work, but all he could do is draw. He met a bunch of coders that could only code. He learned to code, and can now draw and code what he draws, melding two disparate mediums that need each other. The result is digital art that is realistic and doable. 10/13
ditto david. cnc designers and operators think they have all the answers. but when you hear the cutter screaming to fly out of the collet from across the shop any shaper operator knows something is wrong. and what you get is "oh the machine can handle it". meanwhile it gets knocked off pod and you just have to glue up another blank. i glued up 2 blanks for volutes. next day operator said i need 20mm bigger 2 sides. next day 20 mm bigger 2 sides. next day 20mm bigger 2 sides. 100 year old shaper technology. shift your pattern 20mm 2 sides and be done. or change your 00 point . or zero your cutter to right depth of cut. old school is way more obvious while cnc guys are like i think i can, i think i can, i think i can. _hen i asked 1 operator if he thought i could perate cnc he looked at me like i was an idiot . meanwhile he he still has a 50% failure rate. 10/13
Cultural Mojo I like that (even though spell-check doesnt). Your right Dave, everything today has to be utterly foolproof (for fools) otherwise heads are going to roll. Those are the attitudes. "No apprenticeships and no old-timers hanging around." I can appreciate the fact that everything changes so fast today that any traditional methods or training is considered obsolete or old school. Maybe this is true but working entirely without CNC, I havent scrapped any significant materials or parts in years. I know exactly the size of the material before I make a single cut and the rough stock is usually no more than 40 % greater than the finished, wreathed product. I dont have to guess-and-by-golly and I dont fret that parts wont fit. As long as the plan-dimensions are correct, the parts are going to fit- period. Every job is different and every part is custom. If this sounds like pure braggadocio it could be, but its not. Its also not all to my credit but to those 19th century craftsmen who took the time to write instructional books and to those libraries whove kept dusty, old volumes on shelves. I suppose until someone writes a comprehensive, CNC instructional book, specifically for geometric handrail and stairs, theres going to be more scrap. Still, the future may find us all with our hands on keyboards (or in empty pockets). So where are all those CNC neophyte-fans, making their own fantastic claims? 10/14
Jim, I wonder if years ago some old timer would have criticized you and your fancy machines, because you were not doing everything by hand with a collection of planes and scrapers. He would have laughed at how much you spend on tooling or how fast you were getting work done. Not to mention the CAD you used to complete your layout.
Those people that have not experienced or seen the products of a real craftsman (day in and day out) easily confuse their confidence for braggadocio. As a result, many adopt the bragging attitude as an attempt to convey confidence, though perhaps it is not yet deserved or earned. This is seen widely in this industry for some reason. Perhaps because there is so little real craft that one feels the need to compensate by bragging about something like a cutting board. Then writing the book, then going on the tour of the 'schools' to talk about the trials and tribulations of making a cutting board. But my cynicism is showing. CNC is part of a natural evolution in general woodworking and stairs in particular. However, it is by its nature a capital investment thing, a corporate thing, that is tasked with emulating what has always been an artistic thing, a craft. Think Enkeboll vs Grinling Gibbons in the world of carving. As for the nature of craft, I can point to D C Nauman's current WoodWeb post (linked below) of a link to a book on craft. Harrington's words describe what so many have known and chased and achieved. But craft is different from CNC. That fact does not elevate or denigrate either position, it is just a fact. In time there can be - and should be - craftsmen that use CNC to do things that are not done otherwise. But they will not replace the lone craftsman wreathing or bending, it will just make him more obscure. Crazy? I Don't Think So.....
Steve, Im not criticizing CNC On the contrary, I want to hear from guys like yourself who can do and do do. But you make a good point
Im no Geppetto, lovingly hand-carving Pinocchios and cuckoo clocks. This is business and every tool in the shed is fair play. If I could afford or justify CNC, Id probably be spouting about that.
Dave, I really loved that article about craftsmen and your comments too. I do think I am afflicted with the same disease. When a persons work trumps common sense, you have to wonder.
I had the privilege of meeting Sam Maloof once and asked him how he felt about his notoriety. All I wanted to do was make chairs he replied. He didnt seem to care about it at all. I joked and said whod of ever imagined your fancy butt-boards wouldve ever made it so big? This elicited a smile and chuckle from the old master.
I'm real glad you're doing this and thanks for all you've done to educate about solid rail. For what it's worth, I believe educating the architect and homeowner has been an important part of my ability to sell my work.
I think the real point is woodwork is art and an art. Bending laminated rail will never be replaced by a machine. I have a friend who has been bankrupt twice trying to built a better mechanical stair stringer jig and now he is, for the last 5 year developing a system to mortise
A laminated rail will always be stronger and when you find those 22 foot trees for the long curves then maybe a machine can bend rail on a slope.
Curved vs solid will be an alternate, just as hand worked vs machine worked will be an option. There is a place for all of it, none of it will be mutually exclusive of the others, and the better craftsmen will have more than 2 or 3 ways to skin that cat.
Bending obviously gets to a point where it is better to work in solids, and fittings will always be solids, as I see it.
Here's and example of a solid 180 transition also, before finish sanding. I'm happy to try it in solid over laminating.
Its more than a few days, but heres tis:
I've got to assume that anyone doing curved stairs, and who has only used bending rail, has so fully adapted to those limits that the solid/tangent option doesn't compute.
Circular stairs are a premium feature in new construction, but I often wonder if anyone ever really notices what is often passed off as a premium architectural feature for the home and which may yet have abrupt transitions, and/or stacks of manufactured level turns and easements. Doing circular stairs without having the flexibility of adjusting pitch and plan radius as with solid/tangent rail is about the same as building with only the components you can take off a rack at Lowe's. On the other hand, for the stair fabricator/installer who is competing mostly on price, this alternative universe is at least a hard sell and a distraction. If their business is working and the customer is happy with the product, why mess around?
The staircase and especially a circular one is often the most visually interesting element in a house. Jim, what you and I do lifts a standard furniture sort of item (the stair and stair rail) in a home out of the prosaic and standardized. But in most cases, the builder or stair installer is only going to go this route if the owner or architect has a little understanding of the possibilities, and pushes for real custom work. Or theres that situation where theres no acceptable way to work things out with the L J Smith components and a custom fitting needs to be made.
There is need to educate others about the possibilities of solid rail, but I think our market is driven mostly by designer/architects and buyers interested in custom design.
Steve- Very nice 180 and obviously nothing really bendable here, although Ive seen it done
Daves done it alright, but gee-whiz Dave, your non-profiled handrail bend, would be no more than a 4 hour job in solid wood, from start to finish (and without the bending form). Your continuous lam-rail though, is going to be very unique and beautiful. You must admit however, that such bends are almost never practical or possible.
Mike- The day may come when solid curved, handrail segments are as easy and inexpensive to order as regular flat fittings. All youd have to do is forward your plans to a handrail manufacturer and a multi-million-dollar robot would process your parts and ship them out. Every part would fit perfect and every stick would be custom made. The handrail and joints would be pre-cut and bored for bolts and balusters. Anyway, this is what weve been promised at the woodworking machinery shows and probably not an unrealistic potential for CNC. Some spiral stair kit manufacturers have already realized this goal.
When that day comes, only a few die-hards would even consider bending their own handrail. Bending handrail is never going to be easy, inexpensive or even reliable and the fact that bending-rail only bends in a straight line, is also a serious limitation. As an installer, you might have overlooked the actual time and expense of manufacturing bending rail, which is anything but quick and easy. I also think that handrail strength issues are more related to poor newel post installations and not necessarily joint weakness. No handrail joints can stay together if the stair posts flop back and forth.
Anyway your crazy, bankrupt and inventive friend, sounds driven and perhaps in what may be a counter-productive way. Without a few crazies out there though, nothing would ever change. I was driven (crazy) myself to invent my own handrail profiling machine and have been using it now for more than 25 years. I must admit however, that in the case of at least one of my customers, I was replaced by a robot.
Open the pod-door Hal
Dan- Very well said and surely an accurate description of the industry today. Educating builders, architects (and stair builders) is essential and something I've taken quite a bit of time trying to do. Sometimes I feel it's all a waste of time though, very few folks today can appreciate or understand that there is any difference or distinction between standard stuff and custom made. Still it's what I do and all I do.
Fortunately I'm not the only one. There are a few guys like yourself who seem to "get it" and do your own thinking and far from the contents of a cardboard box.
Anyway, this isn't about about educating or convincing others of my particular point of view...I'd truly love to hear from 5 axis fans who are busy making it happen. I would prefer the whole truth though and nothing but the truth. I've already been to the show
Anyway, bend on this...
Take care,
Jim bending rail can be done with slope changes in one piece (sort of) we have experimented with scarping the slope change into the slats and even cubing the rail. I would hate for the day when a $75 - $150 per hour carpenter is replaced by a multimillion dollar machine( I know I don't have that kind of money to put into a bending machine) but that would be the day that an entire house is built by a 3d printer with no out of square walls and all measurements are to the 1/1000's of an inch.
Respectfully, I think we can discuss machines vs hand, solid vs laminated all day and, while it is enjoyable and illuminating to exchange these ideas, they are mostly arcane ideas and methods. Pie in the sky.
The cold fact is that the customers (as in 'most') are willingly ignorant of these issues, and I think so uncaring, that we might as well be speaking Greek.
Some years ago we had a big customer that complained about the time it was taking to set a straight, raked rail between 2 posts, and hinted that it was the poor quality of the stair parts we sold that contributed. They actually demanded instructions in English and Spanish, to be delivered with each piece of handrail. These houses sold between 150K and 300K. I went out to a couple of their houses and saw $12.00/hr immigrants struggling with new $85.00 chop saws with steel blades, cutting angles with cardboard site made squares, then fastening with one or maybe 2 drywall screws, over-driven until the Phillips head was rounded beyond removal. No plugs - that is the painter's job.
It was all I could do to not laugh out loud. Later, I pointed out to the project managers (there were several) that they needed to up the ante on the skilled labor (as in 'hire some'), and use hanger bolts. I prepped up a sample of the drywall screw rail/post joint and one with a hanger bolt and glue, and passed it around at my return 'report'. They dismissed all my suggestions as too labor intensive and too costly. One manager even was prepared with shear and withdrawal numbers for 'properly driven screw fasteners in hardwood' charts and such, defending what we all knew did not work in practice. If implemented, they concluded, the cost of the house would place them out of the competitive market. They sent me on my way.
Now, before the builder went bankrupt in the crash and he absconded with several millions of dollars that belonged to homeowners, vendors and service providers, they prided themselves on the craft that went into their products, proudly claiming to place the highest values on craft, etc. All just empty marketing BS.
Point is that BS will trump reality within the largest part of our industry. Not within those of us that build stairs, but within our customer base. They choose to believe and say what they want, regardless of the facts or common sense, much less an antiquated (to them) notion of craft and dedication to time-honored methods.
That is tough nut to crack, my friends.
Dave, you sound a bit syndical, frustrated and perhaps angry. "Welcome to my world.". Of course you're right, these kinds of discussions can be pure academics when it comes to actual market conditions but neither your products or mine have any place within 150,000 dollar homes. Perhaps if we'd have both stuck to selling nineteen-cent cheeseburgers we'd both be swinging in a hammock under a golden arch somewhere...But then I wouldn'tbe me and you wouldn't be you.
Hi to Jim and Dave esp.
I have been doing a lot of stairs recently that have steel structures covered in wood torsion boxes to make up the stair and they seem to be very popular these days. Not much creativity or knowledge in building them but its what people want and the funny thing is they seem really impressed with what is a very simple design, (insert oh my gosh it looks like they are just sticking out of the wall , how in the world are they string enough to walk on !!!! type homeowner comments here.)
So to me I think its all perception of what is cool, what is craft, knowing the difference and reading people so you know what to sell to each individual customer.
Keep up the good work guys,
I believe there is a few people out there working on converting old designs and layouts into a modern 3D design and CNC machining environments. CNC machining is just another method, it still takes a lot skills to complete the project.
Wonderful drawings as usual Steve and your finished products as well. I guess nobody told you that it's impossible to make wreathed handrail parts on 3 axis machines?
Robert Riddell...really? His drawings and methods seem to change a bit with each of his different books. He also likes to render drawings and instructions based on a specific stair plan (his). These are easy to follow providing you get to build his stair and not the one confronting you from the ignorant architect.
I did get the opportunity recently to produce a pair of Riddell's "side-wreaths". Selling them was the hard part (as Dave truly reminds us of). However once they were installed over a pair of 8x8 Victorian newel posts, they sold themselves. A another order is forthcoming as well as a serious consideration to remodel the stair to accommodate a wreathed transition at the landing. Thanks then, to Robert Riddell and those who've come and gone, but still manage to live on.
I can appreciate the remarks and enthusiasm of JK, Mike and David who are willing and able to try new/old stuff but keep their feet firmly on the floor meeting the real world and real market place. Steve too, however he and I are dreamers. Dan I believe, is also crazy (God help us). Doug knows first hand the folly of all of this.
Still I think if we continue to talk-it-up perhaps we'll find a few more fans and better yet...a few more customers
The thinking of CNC to most people is to throw a router bit profiled to a handrail pattern into the machine and let the chips fly.

James O'Donnell pulls no punches. "The sea level is going to rise, that's for sure," said the professor of marine sciences at the University of Connecticut. "It has been rising for 10,000 years; it's just accelerated recently. The biggest danger is that we don't do anything."
But Connecticut is doing something. Officials in the state, which has been bruised and battered in the past few years by storms both named — Sandy and Irene — and unnamed, announced the creation of the Institute for Community Resiliency and Climate Adaptation in January.
It's a collaborative effort among UConn, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and its goal is to create real-world solutions for the growing risks to both life and property that are being posed by climate change.

Agent Apple was created because people asked us for an alcohol based degreaser for its power. Many degreasers on the market are petroleum based with only a little bit of orange in. We wanted to make a citrus degreaser without the petrochemicals and dirty smell. Other degreasers often boast about their orange content. However, they are often petroleum based, with a hint of orange. 'Greenwash' they like to call it - pretending something is green based on a small natural content. Moreover, many other degreasers use aerosol cans with harmful propellants, and packaging that is difficult to recycle. - Agent Apple's formula is plant based, and biodegradable - Although not recycled, the bottle is easily recyclable. - Agent Apple is totally biodegradable after its life on your bike The name is inspired by Agent Orange - the nick name for a very nasty chemical used to clear jungle, which has a hugely negative health affect on people and the environment even today. Agent Apple conversely is environmentally friendly, and clears grime and grease instead of forests! Its like Agent Orange's eco friendly little cousin. Confusingly, just as Agent Orange didn't contain oranges, Agent Apple doesn't contain apples. It contains oranges.

Start sectioning client`s hair from bottom to top.
LOVE the hair so full , no smell , true to length
Gorgeous hair! 4bundles was installed in my head love it. Very soft and natural looking.
Hair looks great, no weird smell, no tangle or shedding, really soft.
this hair is true to color but NOT true to size its more like 13-14inchs. its not even even in the size and sheds like crazy. I just put it in today and it is shedding all over. deff not 16 inch. would not buy again. The price is great but I guess you do
You got me wanting to drop ehinytverg and running to Sally's. I have very thin hair, I lost a lot in my mid 30's. I could use so much more volume and will head over there in a few days. Thank you so much for sharing, I don't think I would have the nerv
This hair is soo great. its soft, no shedding & the bundles are full. Only giving 4 stars because i havent dyed it or installed it yet! will keep you updated
Looks synthetic but that s ok. Im soo happy i chose to order from this seller, i ordered 14,16,18 its lovley and realy long, black, silky, smooth hair.i can tell its real good quality
I liked it a lot. Actually I have another hair piece to complete the look and it just matches perfectly! I might just get another one in a different shade!
i just ordered mine last week and i had to staighten them, i did this on low heat and they started to melt. And now here i am a week later and they are falling apart. i was so happy when i got them and they matched my hair perfectly, but now i am very ups
I updated this after I had the Clip In Human Hair Extension for a few days, still love it, but needed to personalize it a bit. I washed it twice and upon the second spritzed with spray gel, dried in the net, and trimmed the bottom curls down. A little less bouffy which suited me better. The hair is very nice and with my being a hair extension newbie, seems to be holding up to my experimentation well. What I really appreciate is a store online that ships fast, communicates quickly, and seems to put customer service on the top priority list. In my hair extension buying spree that I went on to try various brands, vendors, and styles, this is one of my top good experiences. I have 3 favorites overall and hairextensionbuy is one!
You're reviewing: 18" #1B OFF Black Body Wave Stick Tip Human Hair Extensions [SRHBWH181B]
Start sectioning client`s hair from bottom to top.
Insert template to root to protect scalp from heat.
Twist strands to ease placing pre tipped hair.
Place Pre tipped hair under client`s hair, holding with one hand.
Place hair connector Tool under hair.
Pinch smoothly for about 3 seconds to melt and smear glue into every hair stand.
Roll fused part with fingers and try to close tightly.
Finished - Do not shampoo or condition hair within 24 hours.
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.
