President Barack Obama expressed confidence that he and Congress would reach an agreement that will avoid the automatic spending cuts and tax increases that are scheduled to occur at the end of the year.
"I am confident we can get our fiscal situation dealt with," Obama said at a news conference in Bangkok Sunday, where he began a three-nation trip that will include the first visit by a sitting U.S. president to Myanmar.
Before Obama left for Asia, he began on a new round of deficit-reduction talks with top Republicans and Democrats in a bid to avoid the combination of $607 billion in automatic tax increases and spending cuts that threatens to throw the country into a recession next year.
He arrived in Asia Sunday on his first foreign trip since re-election, underscoring the region's importance to U.S. growth. The Nov. 17-20 trip is built around a summit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where Obama will meet with leaders from China, Japan, Russia, India and other Asia-Pacific countries.
Speaking in a region where some nations are still moving toward allowing greater political and economic freedom, Obama said the squabbling in Washington is an outgrowth of one of the key strengths of the democratic system because it ensures that all sides are heard.
"Democracy is a little messier than alternative systems of government but that's because democracy allows everybody to have a voice," he said at a joint news conference with Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. "And that system of government lasts. And it's legitimate. And when agreements are finally struck, you know that nobody is being left out of the conversation and that's the reason for our stability."
Taxes and Spending
While Obama has repeatedly called for an immediate extension of middle-class tax cuts, he has been less vocal on how Congress should try to avert the spending cuts that are also part of the so-called fiscal cliff.
His Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, said Friday that a deal must be reached soon to prevent further damaging consumer confidence. The lack of agreement is "this huge cloud of uncertainty hanging over the economy," he said in Washington on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt" airing this weekend.
As the peak of holiday shopping season approaches, "You'd want to do it as soon as you can," Geithner said.
Possible Compromise
Republicans are also signaling a willingness to compromise, with House Speaker John Boehner repeating his offer to discuss tax changes that would increase government revenue in exchange for spending cuts.
The administration also must negotiate to increase the federal debt ceiling. The Treasury said Oct. 31 it expects to reach the limit near the end of this year and can take "extraordinary measures" to meet its payment obligations "until early in 2013."
Geithner said in the interview the debt ceiling should be eliminated, and "the sooner the better." Without an increase in the ceiling, the government may not be able to pay all of its bills and risks defaulting on its debt. Congress and the Obama administration debated the limit for months last year before reaching an 11th-hour agreement in August 2011.
Under some readings of the tax code, Geithner could have the authority to blunt the economic impact of higher marginal rates by leaving this year's paycheck withholding rules in place. Such a move carries risk because taxpayers could face higher tax bills and penalties in early 2014 if Congress can't ultimately agree to extend the lower rates.
Treasury's Authority
"Don't over-interpret what that authority gives me," Geithner said. He said he doesn't have the power to let Congress "avoid making some decisions on rates and policy."
Geithner said he agreed with Michael Duke, chief executive officer of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., that consumers need a quick agreement on the fiscal cliff.
"The uncertainty right now about whether this will be resolved on sensible terms, whether our middle-class families will see their taxes go up, already is having an effect on consumer confidence and the economy," he said.
Geithner, 51, who is planning to leave the administration, said he will stay in his post until mid-January. He brushed aside suggestions that he might stay longer if a successor isn't confirmed by then.
He said he's "very confident that we're going to get enough done in these next few weeks" and that Obama will "have a successor in place so I'll be able to go off and do some other things."
Need for Prayer
Earlier in the day, during a tour of Wat Pho Royal Monastery in Bangkok, Obama joked with a monk that he needed his prayers for the U.S. to resolve the deficit-reduction talks he is undertaking with Congress.
"Yes, we're working on this budget," a laughing Obama told the monk who was guiding him and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the monastery tour. "We're going to need a lot of prayer for that."
Later, at the press conference, Obama said, "I always believe in prayer."
"If a Buddhist monk is wishing me well, I am going to take whatever good vibes he can give me to deal with some challenges back home," he said.

Your Long Distance Solution
This logo is for a start-up company that will organize and arrange for necessary services to close up, empty, prepare for sale/rent, a home when it is vacated due to death, illness or other possible reasons.
People will often use this service if they live in, let's say, New York, and a retired parent or sibling in Florida passes away.
Children of elderly parents. Siblings of elderly people. The target audience will be about 60-70 years old. The service may also be used by elderly spouses who may be 80-100 years old.
Strong, reassuring colors. I'm thinking browns and golds may work, but if you have better ideas go for it. Logo should be serious, classic, and text based. It needs to be based around the initials LDS (long distance solution). There must be some element that indicates we work with homes and possibly that we care and are trustworthy. Please don't forget this design should be aimed at the elderly.

KosherEye Featured Cookbook
by Noah and Rae Bernamoff
Clarkson Potter Publisher
The Mile End Cookbook offers 100 Jewish comfort food recipes, transforming nostalgic Jewish cuisine and traditional Deli dishes to fit the contemporary American culinary landscape. By the way, Mile End itself takes its name from a downtown Montreal neighborhood that's historically — and still heavily — Jewish.
Noah and Rae Bernamoff are the entrepreneurial foodies and authors behind these mouthwatering recipes and anecdotes. The book is dedicated to their cherished grandmothers, Noah's Nana Lee, who was the ultimate homemaker, and Rae's Grandma Bea - who still is a high powered professional. They pay tribute to both women as their sources of wisdom and inspiration. As Rae Bernamoff writes in the introduction, the aim of the book is "bringing good Jewish food into the present tense."
The book is divided into two distinct sections. First the DIY – Do it Yourself Delicatessen section, instructing the reader how to make Deli the basics- such as smoked meats, cured lox, chopped liver, gefilte fish, pickles, schmaltz, fillings and much more – how to create the components of classic Deli dishes.
And then part two. To the Table – How to use these components and bring them to the table. You'll find scrumptious recipes for towering Deli sandwiches, smoked whitefish salad, challah, chicken soup, matzo balls and traditional baked goods such as cheesecake, rugelach, honey cake, cinnamon buns and more.
Using their grandmothers' recipes as a starting point, and applying contemporary methods, Noah and Rae update traditional dishes and elevate them with fresh ingredients and from-scratch cooking techniques. The Mile End Cookbook is simply a"must have" for everyone who would like to cook authentic Deli food at home.
KosherEye Notes
This is both a practical cookbook for both the novice or experienced home cook, and an important addition to a culinary home library, especially one that values authentic Jewish cuisine and traditional delicacies.

However all of the recipes in this book contain ingredients that are available with kosher certification – some parve, some dairy. And, some of the dairy recipes can be easily converted to parve.

Brazil Wants Another Google Site -- YouTube -- Shut Down
from the good-luck-with-that dept
Once again, the question of who has legal jurisdiction over the internet and sites on it comes into question. US courts tend to agree that online companies are bound by the laws of the country in which they're based, while there are continual efforts by groups like record companies and even some governments to assert that if an internet site can be reached from a particular place, it's subject to its laws and the jurisdiction of its courts. This leads to a problem of jurisdiction shopping, where people file lawsuits in unrelated countries to take advantage of their legal environments. Jurisdiction shopping, of course, isn't a new phenomenon, but the internet makes it a little easier. This is a sticky subject: the idea that anybody can be sued anywhere in the world for something the post online isn't a particularly appealing one, but many people don't have a problem with local laws being used to chase after criminals abroad when it comes to things like child pornography. So where is the line drawn, and who gets to determine it? While international treaties govern all sorts of things, international court systems have often been undermined by these very types of questions about jurisidiction.

Witness is shutting down on April 30, 2015. From then on, it will be no longer possible to login at witnessapp.com.
If you still want to download the images stored in your account before then, you can view them all by visiting this link, after logging in: witnessapp.com/history?include=old
The decision to stop Witness development was a hard one. We used the product ourselves on a daily basis to protect the Orbicule office! However, due to Apple's focus on security (which is a good thing), it's increasingly hard / impossible for an app to do things like running in root mode or intercepting notifications from the screensaver / sleep system. The same goes for apps that need a continuous socket connection. As a result, we were receiving more and more support requests from people who were having issues with Witness. That's hurting our business in many ways: first of all, users are not happy because Witness is not functioning as expected. But what's worse, we couldn't really fix these issues because they are either restrictions from Apple, or characteristics of the network our client is on, which we can't even reproduce here. With Yosemite, restrictions for non-App Store apps are even bigger, making it impossible to keep supporting an app like Witness.
Having a product that does not work reliably does not only consume a lot of resources, it also hurts Orbicule's reputation. We have always put our hearts into our products and we don't want to ship crapware. Our internal standards are quite high. If we can no longer meet them, we have to discontinue the product, even though we invested a lot of thought and effort into it.
I hope you understand,
If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Discover Canada RV Holds First Product Show
November 4, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Discover Canada RV Holds First Product Show
Discover Canada RV Ltd., an Oshawa, Ontario-based marketing distributor of U.S.-made RVs sold exclusively through Canadian retailers, hosted a successful inaugural RV show Oct. 28 at Le Castel Hotel & Spa in Granby, Quebec, according to Vice President Jory McDonald.
At that show, Discover Canada displayed 30 specially branded towable models built to Canadian specs by several U.S. companies.
McDonald says he and his partners, Joe Jandrisch, Benoit Riberdy, identified a void in the Canadian marketplace in 2007 with regard to value-priced RVs that have a distinct Canadian appeal.
"We've negotiated repurchase agreements with all major Canadian wholesale lenders including GECDF, BMO and National Bank of Canada," he reports. "Indiana RV manufacturers Heartland RV, Crossroads RV, Hyline Enterprises, Kaddy Kruiser and Monaco RV LLC build products for Discover Canada RV, based on our Canadian specifications."
The firm currently does business with 53 dealers from across Canada and approximately half of them participated in the late October show, McDonald said.
Canadian dealers normally place their orders with U.S. OEMs in January after the Louisville Show, says McDonald, but in some cases have now opted instead to place those orders earlier due to his firm's efforts.
"We felt it was appropriate to move us forward ahead of the Louisville Show to enable our dealers to buy to avoid backlog and avoid freight issues," McDonald said. "We wanted our dealers to get ahead of the wave of orders. They experienced delays in getting 2010 product, and we couldn't afford to let that happen again."
"We plan to do this again next year, but it might be a bit earlier," he added.
Quebec was chosen as the site for the first show because Discover Canada has a strong following there, McDonald noted.
"Our success comes from offering our dealers a number of unique but strong advantages that they cannot receive directly from a U.S. manufacturer," said McDonald.
Among them, he adds, is the fact that the company deals in products built to specifications and tastes of Canadian consumer and offers larger territories for greater dealer profits. Other selling points: Aggressive marketing material and an effective website, a Canadian parts and warranty department and Canadian territory representatives who understand each unique Canadian market area.

More than 60 Lawmakers Relied Mostly on Out-of-State Money
May 7, 2013 | All members of Congress get checks from outside their districts or states. But in the 2012 election cycle, at least 66 senators and House members relied on out-of-state donors for more than half of their campaign funds.
Anti-Castro PACs Dole Out Campaign Cash, Mitt Romney Earns a Utah Endorsement and More in Capital Eye Opener: July 6
July 6, 2011 | Today, congressional representatives are typically more wary about publicly supporting of Castro, and an active anti-Castro lobby has been financially generous to opponents of the Cuban communist leader. During the 2010 cycle, anti-Castro political action committees donated more than $3 million to congressional campaigns across the country, with a roughly two-to-one ratio of contributions to Democrats over Republicans.

Races to Watch III: Big Money, Small Money
September 29, 2008 | Barack Obama defended his decision not to accept public financing by arguing that running a campaign for the White House based on small contributions accomplishes what the public financing system aims to do but falls short of doing: curb the influence of outside interest groups. In many congressional races, the issue of who's backing the candidate--wealthy donors or everyone else--is finding its way into debates over the best way to fix the economy and whether campaign contributions and lobbying by the financial sector had anything to do with today's economic crisis.

Generations of mothers have been toldand believedthat having a baby means checking their own brains at the delivery room door.
The Mommy Brain usually refers to a head full of feeding times, soccer schedules, and nursery rhymes, at the expense of creative or challenging ideas. But recent scientific research paints a dramatically different and far rosier picture.
Filled with lively (and often hilarious) stories of multitasking moms at home and on the job, The Mommy Brain by journalist Katherine Ellison encourages all of us to cast aside conventional thinking and discover the positive ways in which having children changes mothers brains for the better. More
"Ellison has done her homework, citing legitimate social and neurological research to back up her conclusionsa procedure sadly lacking in too many books about parenting."
Library Journal
"Ellison's often humorous and always thorough approach … will amuse and intrigue smart mothers everywhere."
Publishers Weekly
"A well-documented resource book for women's studies. The Mommy Brain would also make a great gift for a sleep-deprived new mother who feels like she can't think anymore!"
"Mothers with small children often complain that their brains have turned to Jell-O, that all that lost sleep and baby talk has cost them their intellectual edge. But new researchers found that having children my actually make you smarter."

In the cold season, people do not want to go outside on a regular basis as it is quite dangerous; especially for seniors. We should eliminate the time to come out of our houses and enter to a gym center, but it does not mean we have not do exercises.
It means that both of us can have more workout programs indoor. Why not? Exercise bikes are a good option to solve this issue. But, before purchasing a new one, you should consider your option. best stationary exercise bike for seniors reviews
For example, there are many bikes on the market, but these machines also have two major types only. It is easy to think they are the same. This is the way you should continue to read the exercise bike for senior reviews.
Exercise bike for seniors always has two kinds – upright exercise bikes and recumbent bikes. Most of the users could not identify the difference between them. In fact, it is not difficult to find the different points such as the pedal positions, the pedal shapes, the shape of the seat, and so on.
The platform of the upright exercise bikes is simple. Users just keep the rider sitting a certain position like they are riding a traditional road bike. However, these bicycles are not for elderly people because these have a higher risk of injury. The bike does not have the much more stable level to help seniors keep their pedaling and they have to lean their body forward to catch the handlebars clearly.
But the structure of the recumbent bikes has a much more friendly design with a lower seat and small handlebars both two sides. Thanks to this design, you do not have all stress on the back and best recumbent exercise bike for seniors reviews the neck sides as the bike have a better position for your body and you do not have to get much more friction in the handlebars.
In a nutshell, the recumbent bikes are much more suitable for seniors to practice in their houses and the upright bikes are available for youngers.best recumbent exercise bike for seniors reviews

You want to run and jump into yarnbombing . It's really best if you don't think much about what is going to happen to your yarnbombs , thinking will only slow you down. Make thrilling work – get it up . Later on different things will happen , some yarnbombs get taken right down by authorities , some are swiped by teenagers or even gangs , some will become famous and some yarnbombs will stay up forever or until you take them down . I did not expect this at all and now I have many yarnbombs which have been up for months and months.
I put yarnbombs up to enjoy looking at them and at some point I don't like looking at them if they are getting ripped and smudged . I didn't want to be sad when I took them down so I have started knitting replacement yarnbombs . A favorite piece of ours is a bannister we put up in Pt. Reyes Station , a tranquil little town along the coast . We have gotten lots of blogs and remarks on this particular bit of knitting and we wanted to reward this loving energy . So we knit 2 new bright glass colored yarnbombs to replace the old bannister. We had a calm and beautiful drive out and went excitedly over to see our old yarnbombs .
As you can see – the old piece looked pretty good still although all our tags had been cut off and it was a little shrucken from being outside and rained on for 8 months . Still – not bad ! We cut it down any way and sewed on our 2 new pieces . The Russian knit these pieces and I put on the ruffles. As we sewed the knitting on the bannister lots of people stopped to ask us what this was . I thought everyone knew what yarnbombing was and were already sick of it . So I was glad that yarnbombing was still news to so many.
I get a lot of energy from talking to people when I am yarnbombing , especially if they keep saying " Beautiful Beautiful ! " I realized a long time ago that life was simple -if you have too little energy you fell bad and depressed and if you have lots of energy you feel great . How do you get lots of energy with out becoming a wee drug fiend ? I always make art for energy but you can also eat chocolate , run around outside looking at trees , go look at art , visit babies , see your favorite people , take 3 breaths . Or go out and talk to everyone as you yarnbomb.
I know people who talk about their passions from the time they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night . This is an interesting way to get energy and I would like to try it .
When we were done sewing these yarnbombs the kind man who owns the Pt. Reyes Bookstore bought us 2 short bread cookies , one chocolate cherry cookie and 2 cups of peppermint tea as a reward for our street art . This is an excellent way to thank us if you ever want to.
So I took those old yarnbombs home and washed them. They are a little felted and full of holes but still quite beautiful.
This is a great Oakland blog with A zany yarnbomb of mine at the Oakland library here .

Congressional Reps Rewrite AT&T's Google Voice Complaint, And Send It To The FCC
from the at-least-try-to-be-creative dept
Still, it's hard not to be even more cynical when a bunch of politicians suddenly pick up interest in this issue, and ask the FCC to investigate Google using language that appears quite similar to the letter AT&T sent to the FCC. As Broadband Reports notes in that last link, it sure looks like AT&T got a bunch of friendly politicians to suddenly express outrage over something most of them didn't understand -- and they just had to rewrite the letter AT&T had already used. It's as if these companies and politicians don't even care how blatant it is that the lobbyists actually set the agenda.

As usual, never consider the following commentary associated with these photos as a formal interpretation of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Without criticizing anyone or any product, the following scenarios present us with serious safety questions.
All references are based on the 2005 NEC.
Maintenance: Not in This Installer's Vocabulary
An apartment maintenance technician recently asked Roger Zieg, owner of Zieg Electric in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to check out this service panel. The technician said another contractor told him it was okay to put the water meters below the panel because "…. there's a 2 × 4 header under the panel." So much for dedicated electrical space, huh? There is also an issue with the hidden 90° flex connector running from the panel to the water heater.
This is a clear violation of 110.26, Spaces About Electrical Equipment, which in part states, "Sufficient access and working space shall be provided and maintained about all electric equipment to permit ready and safe operation and maintenance of such equipment." This working space shall "comply with the dimensions of 110.26(A)(1), (A)(2), and (A)(3) or as required or permitted elsewhere in this Code." In addition, 110.26(A)(1) states, "The depth of the working space in the direction of live parts shall not be less than that specified in Table 110.26(A)(1) unless the requirements of 110.26(A)(1)(a), (A)(1)(b), or (A)(1)(c) are met. Distances shall be measured from the exposed live parts or from the enclosure or opening if the live parts are enclosed."
A Fine Line Between Creativity and Stupidity
Bill Beeler, assistant business manager, IBEW Local 14, La Crosse, Wis., was kind enough to pass this photo along, which was taken by Robert Strand, an employee of Wettstein Brothers Electric in La Crosse, Wis. This section of ¾-inch electrical metallic conduit (EMT) was removed from a motel that was being converted to an assisted living center. It's a little difficult to make out, but two of the No. 8 THW stranded conductors were spliced, and the third was not.
This is a clear violation of 300.15, Boxes, Conduit Bodies, or Fittings — Where Required, which in part states, "Fittings and connectors shall be used only with the specific wiring methods for which they are designed and listed. Where the wiring method is conduit, tubing, Type AC cable, Type MC cable, Type MI cable, nonmetallic-sheathed cable, or other cables, a box or conduit body shall be installed at each conductor splice point, outlet point, switch point, junction point, termination point, or pull point, unless otherwise permitted in 300.15(A) through (M)."
Found a Code Violation? E-mail your photos to Joe Tedesco at [email protected].

Wouldn't it be great if we all had the cash to hire a personal stylist who would put together great outfits that make us look and feel terrific?
Dream on.
Until you win the lottery or your start-up goes public, I've got an absolutely free alternative that can have the same effect: Go window shopping.
Every time I walk by Forever 21, I get new ideas about how to put things together and how to challenge my old (boring) way of dressing.
For sure, I'm not going to be wearing short, frayed cutoffs any time soon. But, why not a subtly sequined striped T-shirt underneath a men's denim shirt? Or a funky feather necklace over a crocheted top (or two)? I could do that. So can you.
By paying close attention to the mannequins in stores you admire, you can be your own stylist.
To prove my point, photographer Heather Charles took photos of some of my favorite on-trend outfits on Forever 21 mannequins.
Then I called Esther Chang, the head of Forever 21's visuals — store displays, windows and such — to talk about the photos.
Chang, 24, is the fashion-savvy daughter of the founders of the giant fast-fashion retail chain, Don and Jin Sook Chang, and is uniquely positioned to offer style tips based on the photos and her own take on today's fashions.
Esther Chang's tips to amp up your style
Combine opposites for an "unexpected twist."
Avoid matching shoes/belt/bag; one bold accessory.
Texture on texture on texture.
Start small with just one "risky" thing out of your comfort zone.
Study celebrity photos; steal their stylists' ideas.
There are no rules. "Follow your gut" and wear what works for you; ignore trends that don't flatter.

Our local Shimano technical training representative dropped by our headquarters a little while back to give our Spin Doctor Product Support team (our in-house technical experts that are ready to answer your questions via phone or email) a rundown of the new Shimano 105 5700 components, so we asked him to give his presentation on video so that we could share the new product features with you.
This new and upgraded version of the 105 line of road components offers many of the same performance features of the higher-end Ultegra or Dura-Ace components in a more affordable package. Almost everything has been redesigned, from the improved ergonomics of the dual-control levers (which now feature under-the-bartape cable routing), to wider-link front and rear derailleurs for crisper shifting, to the Super SLR brakes that feature increased modulation and power.
You can find the new 105 5700 group featured on our 2010 Scattante R-570 Road Bike and 2010 Scattante W-570 Women's Road Bike.

Winner of the 2017 Choice Review's Outstanding Academic Titles
In the last three years, Kathryn M. Rudy has transformed the understanding of late medieval Netherlandish manuscript culture [...]. By understanding what changed over time and why, Rudy argues that the production of a manuscript can last for decades, even centuries. By doing so, she brings codicology into social history. [...] One of her most courageous claims is that the exorbitant cost of permission fees effectively censored the research she undertook and distorted the findings she published. This is one reason why much of this material is previously unpublished, and why much of it will remain so. Scholars of book history, medieval manuscripts, and medieval art owe Rudy an immense debt, and not just in an academic sense. [...] The scope of the research, scale of the publications, and novelty of the methodologies and even paradigms mean that Rudys daring contributions will influence scholarship for years. Of all of them, shouting the hushed whispers about the costs of undertaking research on visual material might be the bravest.
Elizabeth Savage, The Library, 19.2 (June 2018): 230-31
This is a brilliant contribution to the field of the materiality of Medieval manuscripts which currently emerges as a highly important intersection of art history, codicology, cultural studies and history of devotion.
Henrike Lähnemann, Chair of Medieval German Literature and Linguistics, University of Oxford
Piety in Pieces is a scholarly work of high quality that makes multiple original contributions to the fields of codicology, paleography, book history, media studies, reception theory, material culture, and the study of religious and devotional practices in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. The book is structured around a series of close-up examples which constitute a practical guide for understanding manuscripts in all of their complex materiality. Especially impressive is Rudys willingness to deal with the "afterlife or "long life of the manuscript, that is, the notion of the book as more than just the result of one fixed moment in time but an accumulation of decisions over many years decisions that reflect changing tastes, devotional trends, and very human fears and desires linked to memory, time, and the hope for salvation. This book is essential reading for scholars and advanced students of medieval manuscripts, since it offers essentially new understandings of their production and audience.
David S. Areford, Associate Professor of Art History, University of Massachusetts Boston
This is a wonderful and extraordinary book on a neglected subject, the afterlife of medieval manuscripts in the late medieval period. [ ] Rudys immensely scholarly but fascinating and beautifully written book shows how the manuscripts were subsequently adapted, and often readapted, to suit specific owners. [ ] This fresh, engrossing study marks the beginning of a major trend in scholarship, a great achievement.
L. Nees, University of Delaware, CHOICE
Read Kyle Brady of the University of St Andrews' post about Piety in Pieces on our
Medieval manuscripts resisted obsolescence. Made by highly specialised craftspeople (scribes, illuminators, book binders) with labour-intensive processes using exclusive and sometimes exotic materials (parchment made from dozens or hundreds of skins, inks and paints made from prized minerals, animals and plants), books were expensive and built to last. They usually outlived their owners. Rather than discard them when they were superseded, book owners found ways to update, amend and upcycle books or book parts.
Medieval manuscripts resisted obsolescence. Made by highly specialised craftspeople (scribes, illuminators, book binders) with labour-intensive processes using exclusive and sometimes exotic materials (parchment made from dozens or hundreds of skins, inks and paints made from prized minerals, animals and plants), books were expensive and built to last. They usually outlived their owners. Rather than discard them when they were superseded, book owners found ways to update, amend and upcycle books or book parts.
These activities accelerated in the fifteenth century. Most manuscripts made before 1390 were bespoke and made for a particular client, but those made after 1390 (especially books of hours) were increasingly made for an open market, in which the producer was not in direct contact with the buyer. Increased efficiency led to more generic products, which owners were motivated to personalise. It also led to more blank parchment in the book, for example, the backs of inserted miniatures and the blanks ends of textual components. Book buyers of the late fourteenth and throughout the fifteenth century still held onto the old connotations of manuscriptsthat they were custom-made luxury itemseven when the production had become impersonal.
Owners consequently purchased books made for an open market and then personalised them, filling in the blank spaces, and even adding more components later. This would give them an affordable product, but one that still smacked of luxury and met their individual needs. They kept older books in circulation by amending them, attached items to generic books to make them more relevant and valuable, and added new prayers with escalating indulgences as the culture of salvation shifted.
Rudy considers ways in which book owners adjusted the contents of their books from the simplest (add a marginal note, sew in a curtain) to the most complex (take the book apart, embellish the components with painted decoration, add more quires of parchment). By making sometimes extreme adjustments, book owners kept their books fashionable and emotionally relevant. This study explores the intersection of codicology and human desire.
Rudy shows how increased modularisation of book making led to more standardisation but also to more opportunities for personalisation. She asks: What properties did parchment manuscripts have that printed books lacked? What are the interrelationships among technology, efficiency, skill loss and standardisation?
The University of St Andrews Library Open Access Fund supported this Open Access publication. The Leverhulme Trust has generously contributed towards the research for this volume.

CRESTVIEW � Whether at north Okaloosa County's hospital or at Physicians Plaza, "the four-story,� healthcare here remains as personal and local as it was when brothers Dr. Justus O. and Dr. Olin Oliver Enzor opened the community's first hospital in 1926.
CRESTVIEW � Whether at north Okaloosa County's hospital or at Physicians Plaza, "the four-story,� healthcare here remains as personal and local as it was when brothers Dr. Justus O. and Dr. Olin Oliver Enzor opened the community's first hospital in 1926.
Today, North Okaloosa Medical Center has evolved into a modern hospital complex featuring innovative technologies found in a larger community, yet with personal care.
See "Related Media" at left for video of North Okaloosa Medical Center.
"We're caring for our neighbors," NOMC chief executive officer David Fuller said. "A hospital like this in a community like ours is not like being in Pensacola or Tallahassee or Atlanta, where the chances of bumping into one of your patients in the grocery store is slim to none.�
The hospital evaluates new equipment and technologies as they become available, Fuller said. While expense is a factor in acquiring equipment, even more important is having sufficient need for the devices.
"We're always looking at how we need to grow and what we need to expand to meet the community's needs," Fuller said. "You need to have a volume of procedures to keep your competency and quality level."
New facilities and services
The two-story Patient Tower, which opened in 2011, allows north county treatment of diseases and injuries that a few years ago required patients to travel to Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola or out of state.
Its expanded Intensive Care Unit and accompanying Step Down Unit have enhanced emergency care services. A heart catheterization laboratory, with twin labs flanking a central control room, offers services that once required sending patients by ambulance to an out-of-town facility.
The four story provides routine X-rays, lab work, physical therapy and other outpatient services through a facility that NOMC shares with Sacred Heart Medical Center of Pensacola. Primary care clinics in Baker, Crestview and DeFuniak Springs provide similar services without the time and expense of hospital admission.
The hospital�s next goal is to attain national certification for its chest pain and stroke centers to offer primary stroke and primary cardiac intervention.
"We are moving to being the place that people think about when they have a cardiac issue," Fuller said.
Linking information technologies
On the technology side, NOMC wants to corral its several computer systems into one interactive system that allows different departments and doctors to share information within the facility and at doctors' clinics, Fuller said.
"The expectation is that our information systems will communicate with the physicians' systems," he said. "That will enable them and us to provide better and more comprehensive care for their patients."
System integration will occur in phases, and that will take some time, administrators said.
"We've completed the first wave,� Fuller said. �The next wave will be linking our outpatient clinics that we offer. Likely, the third and final wave will be bringing the physician documentation into that format. Once we move them into the final phase, that record will be complete."
Building the team
Recruiting caregivers for a hospital serving a smaller community takes finesse, but yields a higher quality doctor, nurse, technician or specialist, Fuller said.
"We take a ton of time to identify the right type of players to be part of the medical staff we put together," he said.
Building a winning team in a community hospital is rewarding, Fuller said, because people who work there choose to do so.
"The people who are in a hospital like ours make a conscious decision to work in a hospital like ours," he said. "If you go to a big, big organization, people are specialists in one area. Our people serve a bigger need.
"There are a lot of misconceptions about being in a community hospital. It's a much more collegial atmosphere. It's a blessing. They back each other up to try not to put too much of a load on each other."
Plenty of recruitment time is spent attracting specialists, Fuller said, adding that staffers constantly evaluate patients� needs and expectations of growth and demand.
The future
"People think hospitals and health care providers are somehow immune to the general swings of the economy. Beep! Wrong answer," Fuller said. "We're watching what's happening in the federal government and sequestration. The federal government pays a huge amount of health care."
There is some uncertainty surrounding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that President Barack Obama signed in 2010, Fuller said.
"That being said, we're continuously looking around to see what we can do to make things better for our patients,� he said.
One such method is offering robotic surgery.
"We've got technology that we're evaluating right now to see if it makes sense in our market," Fuller said. "They have technology right now where they can make one tiny incision and do bladder repair; that sort of procedure.�
In the end, Fuller said, the community's hospital care boils down to "locally taking care of local folks.

Jillianjunior memberMember #Joined: 19 Sep 2007Posts: 5Location: Beijing Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2008 7:50 pm I am really hitting my head up against a wall with this one, I've made a break through, as far as making something without any references (at all!! yay!) But the trouble now is finishing it. So it is supposed to be a woman laying on the surface of the water, after hours and hours of attempting to make water without a reference, I succeeded in the first painting, but I've lost so much detail, and the water is distracting, I tried adding floating petals to make it better...but.. Painting number 2, is what it looks like without water, I was thinking maybe she could just be underwater or something. Any suggestions, comments or any other glaring mistakes you guys want to throw at me would be very appreciated. Thanks for viewing!! Back to top Memphisjunior memberMember #Joined: 02 Aug 2008Posts: 2 Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 3:43 am First of all: very beautiful! And very well done. If you want to draw her under water, you could add some bubbles and maybe a lightsource for an indication where the surface of the water is, example. Beams of light into the water around here would fit very well. As for the first one. I think that the white dress is too pronounced at the folds. This makes it look more like she's covered in plastic that's floating on the water. Interesting though. Maybe the fabric should be a tad darker because it's softened by the water, making a better distinction between light on the water and the white parts of the dress. Good luck, and keep us updated! I'd like to see how it turns out. Back to top GotnospoonsmemberMember #Joined: 09 Aug 2007Posts: 124 Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 7:50 am Now I am by all means not a concept artists but I think I have something that may help. The 2 paintings are completely different in the sense of mood, I would focus on what mood you are trying to achieve and then figure out if you want her under water or on top. I think you did a very good job with the rendering. Be careful not to just add things just to add them such as the rose petals, try to give it a meaning because the petals portray a certain feeling in the painting. If what you add helps to add to the overall mood in you vision then great! Personally, I like under water, that doesn't mean on top is bad of course =D. I hope this makes sense and helps you._________________Truth is the essence of life, if that truth flows freely from you then why do so many choose to ignore it? --me Back to top sweetumsmemberMember #Joined: 10 Aug 2004Posts: 236 Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2008 7:23 pm She's not laying on water with that pose, the legs are bent as wonky angles with the thighs more elevated than her head...Definitely needed reference for that... Speaking of her legs, the way you've spread them looks weird, and the values make them look sickly thin. The water looks like the Photoshop Plastic Wrap filter...Again, references would have helped you with that. While it is always admirable to paint something without using refs, you need to know what you're painting. How many water surfaces have you painted WITH references, so that you KNOW how to paint water surfaces? How many women have you painted laying down (floating or not) without references? Reclining poses are not the same as upright, and your woman does not look like she is floating, nor that much like she is even reclining. Sne looks like she's striking a sexy pose in an OB/GYN exam chair with the stirrups painted out... I think you should break down and use some ref photos to try to tweak this into shape a bit more..._________________Life is short. Expect nothing, enjoy everything.

Back to top Futurexrisenjunior memberMember #Joined: 01 Jul 2009Posts: 2Location: Greensboro, North Carolina Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2009 8:42 pm If you want to create the illusion that she's underwater from an overhead perspective, you might want to darken the background a bit more towards the top to match the bottom (while also indicating the above light source with reflections on her body). Also, keep in mind that because she is underwater, her hair has to also be shown floating around the front of her face. Other than that and a few finishing touches on the clothes, I think you did a terrific job without using refs.

Feb. 7, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior Laurent Charpentier sparked a strong performance for the Engineers at the 2009 MIT Invitational, a non-scoring meet featuring NESCAC rivals Williams, Tufts, and Middlebury. Following another outstanding team effort, the nationally-ranked No. 11 Engineers now set their sights on the NEWMAC Championships.
With most of the lineup swimming off events during the two-day meet, Charpentier dazzled with victories in the 100 fly and 200 IM. Enjoying a strong performance on MIT Senior Day, Charpentier split 52.08 in the fly and 1:58.16 in the individual medley. He also authored a great swim to anchor the Engineers "B" unit to a second-place finish in the 400 medley relay as the Cardinal and Gray swept the first two places in the event.
The team comprised of Tim Stumbaugh, Rastislav Racz, Brett Boval, and Luke Cummings swam 3:33.18 to win the medley relay, with the second group finishing just back in 3:34.51. Cummings also set an Institute record in the 50 free, salvaging a DQ by the Engineers in the 200 free relay with a lead-off split of 20.76. Cummings' clip resulted in the 12th-fastest time in the nation and a solid NCAA "B" cut.
In addition to Charpentier, Stumbaugh also won two individual events. The rookie held off Williams' Thatcher Heumann to win the 400 IM in 4:17.93, while he led a 1-2 finish for MIT in the 200 back. Stumbaugh swam 1:56.21 to win the race, with fellow freshman Matt Chapa swimming 1:59.05.
"The team swam tough," remarked head coach Dawn Gerken. "I am continually impressed by how they step up to race each weekend even though we haven't let up in practice. We are way ahead of where we've ever been at this point in the season with both the men and women."
The Engineers boasted two 1-2 finishes during the weekend as rookie Alejandro Dos Reis swam 2:10.83 in the 200 breast to finish just ahead of senior Deke Hu.
Recognized on MIT Senior Day were Charpentier, Hu, Peter Wellings, Udit Garg, and Dan Klenk.

Queen beats Kylie in 'earworm' duel
Like Kylie Minogue's megahit Can't Get You Out Of My Head, some tunes are so catchy they can drive you crazy.
But a freely available treatment exists for infuriating "earworms" which cause anxiety and distress for one in three people - the national anthem.
While Kylie may be pop royalty, her infectious ditty cannot compete with listening to a performance of God Save The Queen.
The patriotic song, written by 18th century composer Thomas Arne, is one of the most popular "cure tunes" used by people to rid themselves of maddening earworms, a study has found.
Others include the 1980s hit Karma Chameleon by Culture Club, and Happy Birthday.
Listening to a cure tune helps to block the endless looping cycle of a musical phrase that keeps repeating in the brain, scientists believe. The remedy was successful in one in 10 cases, according to a survey of more than 18,000 people.
Alternative strategies for exorcising earworms included immersing oneself in the offending song, engaging in conversation, watching TV, reading, praying, and even - bizarrely - sucking on a straw.
Psychologist Dr Lauren Stewart, from Goldsmith's, University of London, who led the research published in the online journal Public Library of Science One, said: " People differ in how they feel about their earworms - some love them, some of them are totally driven to distraction, and for others, it might be very dependent on the content and context of the earworm as to how they feel about them."
Earworms are highly prized by the popular music industry whose most valuable asset is the catchy song "hook". But for a third of us they are a genuine cause of anxiety and distress, say the researchers, who conducted the first study looking at how people deal with phenomenon in England and Finland.
More than 90 per cent of people are believed to have an earworm experience at least once a week. Rates of earworm affliction are even higher among musicians or those who see music as an important part of their lives, the scientists claim.
Can't Get You Out Of My Head, released in 2001, was one of the most successful pop songs of all time, topping the charts in the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland as well as Minogue's native Australia. To date, more than five million copies of the record are said to have been sold around the world.
Last year the song was named the catchiest of all time in a poll of 700 people conducted as part of an investigation into what makes music memorable.
Dr Stewart said: "Some people reported having almost constant earworms, which is really annoying and can be very distracting.
"It might just be to do with how much attention you pay to your inner music. We found that whether or not you are an active musical listener is important. A negative response to an earworm will also make it persist. If you are a neurotic sort of person, that can prolong it."
Sucking a drink through a thin straw was the most surprising earworm solution cited by study participants.
But Dr Stewart said it might work because of the subtle connection between mouth movements, language and sounds played in the head.
"When you have an earworm you may not be singing it but you are only one step removed from singing, she said.
"Repetition of that tune in your head is, in a sense, movement related. Tying up the machinery of your mouth by sucking on a straw might help to block it."
Earworms are one of the subjects being explored during National Science & Engineering Week, organised by the British Science Association, which takes place from March 14.

I'm just going to expand on one of Anh_Minh's arguments to fukarming, who got some events confused.
The Gateway Army, while having superior numbers, were exhausted and not at the ideal mental health (Hero's illusions). This was reported to Maou's group and she said that the forces would be evenly matched because of that. Then came the report that Ice General was not with his army. So, anime-only knowledge is more than enough to say "Ice General could have chosen to retreat with his men. He'd probably have made it."
EDIT: I also liked how they touched on the Hero's solitude. How Archer was sorry for leaving everything on Hero's shoulders. This is a direct attack to something that most classic JRPGs are guilty of.

I checked out the source material and finally understand what you all are saying regarding the ice general.
btw, that map graveyard duck posted is what initially fuel my confusion: the demon army is going South, which is retreating to the demon territory (and where the crusader are). I didn't catch the ice general left his army to stall the main group.
The ice general don't have the knowledge that the crusader army is weak. If he had known he would have retreated. He thinks the crusader army is similar in strength to the female knight, thus he sacrificed himself to stall the main army to avoid being sandwiched.
So the main point is, what happened to the 7500 demon army (which escape to the South)? Total annihilation as the main army able to "help" the crusader army? Fight a bloody battle with the crusader and both side suffer huge losses? Of course ideally, the crusader army is such wuss that they open up a path to let the demon army escape back to demon territory. but I am leaning towards total annihilation given what I see on screen.
btw, while Maou said on screen that she hope the demon able to retreat, and that's all she does. She did nothing to help the demon tribe to retreat.

There was indeed a drop in the animation quality, even some of the main character's had a noticeable drop due to the budget constraints. Overall it was quite decent, although they cut some stuff in order to save time.
The introduction of the fire arrows in the beginning of the episode was a tease.
They cut out Young Merchant and the trade of salt for forming the ice bridge mass.
The ending dialogue with Archer Grandpa and Hero about him being too strong was nice though the beginning part was kind of rushed.
Did like Lelouch voice FukuJun in Gateway City.
They made the commander of the crusader army a lot less intimidating and raving mad.
They skipped the announcement of the Southern Nation as well. They're probably going to do it next episode it seems.
The enemy Ice General looked silly I could hardly take him seriously with his face.

Back from a trip and just finished watching episode 6.
Well, what can I say, I really like this episode. Unlike previous episodes, the pacing this time is very good and most of the information aren't that quickly thrown like bullets from a machine-gun, making the plot easy to understand. Hell, they even gave Hero a little time to shine. After watching previous episodes, I really wasn't expecting them to show us Hero's work in Gate City. Seriously, it's a miracle! Yeah, I know, animation isn't perfect (due to budget, I assume) but what we get is miles better than Hero's slideshow in eps 4. Female Knight's fight with Ice General is quite exciting to watch. And finally, a nice little closing with the dialogue between Hero and Grandpa Archer, his comrade from his overpowered party years ago. Glad that someone finally clearly addressed that due to his super-overkill power, Hero's been kinda lonely deep inside. Anyway, damn pervert geezer, his interest in Maou's boobs even override his sharp instinct . Well, that's Grandpa Archer for you.
Btw, from the look of things now, is it possible that my guess some pages ago was right that they decide to change the scriptwriter since episode 5? Well, if it's true then whoever he is, I'd like the studio to keep him. On the other hand, the art director also done well this time. It's sad to let him go since it seems that they use different director each episode.
Anyway, this episode is definitely one of the best so far (aside from episode 1).

Still, it's probable that they made some changes in the way they were working out the series because of how hard the pre-orders slowed down after the early adopters first rush.

Thinking on it I'm starting to bet the traditional DVD only 13th ep will end up being Hero's adventures as Dark Knight as they tend to be both the most fansevicey and least important to the story given all the important info was covered in a 3 min letter, but we will see.

Damm that was a good episode. The battles between Female Knight's forces and Arctic General's demons was well done.
So many deaths. So much brutality.
Also, Female Knight look hot in that dress.

Hello Yoda,
I'm going to say it again. You are wasting your time in the keys. You may have been confused by the comments of some of the locals. There's only about 7 "local south lake kiters" and I know them all. I used to be one of them and I guarantee not one of them would say the keys is a good place to kite. On a SW wind, the Keys are never good; water or snow.
That being said, on the other side of the meadow it can be decent but generally on a SW we'd go up to Grass lake or out into the valley. Grass lake is a good place to go when the wind is light as many other places won't be kiteable.
How was your trip to Utah with Jeff?
