Gio sharp again as Nationals blank Marlins

WASHINGTON -- Left-hander Gio Gonzalez pitched six shutout innings as he helped the Nationals blank the Marlins, 5-0, at Nationals Park on Tuesday night.
The Nationals have won five of their first seven games.View Full Game Coverage
Gonzalez (2-0) threw a lot pitches early, but he settled down and retired the final 10 hitters before leaving the game. Gonzalez allowed just three hits, and the only time the Marlins made a serious threat against him was in second. Miami had runners on first and second with one out, but Reed Johnson flied out to Denard Span in center field and right-hander Henderson Alvarez flied out to right fielder Jayson Werth.
Manager Matt Williams thought about sending Gonzalez back out for the seventh to face Garrett Jones, but decided against it because the Nationals had a lengthy bottom of the sixth and scored two runs.
"He competes every time he goes out there," Williams said. "In his last couple of starts, he throws a lot of pitches, but when he has to lock it in, he locks it in. He has been good."
In his first two starts, Gonzalez has allowed one run over 12 innings. It helps that catcher Jose Lobaton is encouraging him to throw the changeup a lot more than he has.
"I'm just mixing it up," Gonzalez said. "Jose has been doing his homework, making me throw all three of my pitches. The offspeed -- going in and out, just mixing it up. It's fun throwing to him."
Washington took the lead in the bottom of the first inning off Alvarez. After Werth doubled with two outs, Adam LaRoche singled to left, scoring Werth.
The Nats added two unearned runs in the sixth off Alvarez, showing once again how aggressive they can be under Williams. Before the game, Williams told the team that Alvarez can throw the ball in the dirt, so look to advance an extra base whenever possible.
With runners on first and third and two outs, Alvarez threw the ball in the dirt. It look like LaRoche was going to be thrown out at second base, but second baseman Jeff Baker dropped the ball while taking a perfect throw from catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. That allowed Bryce Harper to score and LaRoche to be safe at second.
"Alvarez is not a guy you can really steal bases on, but he throws balls in the dirt," Williams said. "It's something we talked about before the game. If we get an opportunity to do that, be ready for it and be alive for it. It was part of the game plan going in.
"... We have to make sure we take advantage of those opportunities. So as long as we are prepared for it or expecting it, then we are able to do it. It's those little things within the game that we want to make sure that we are good at."
LaRoche then came home on a single by Anthony Rendon.
"We made a mistake in there, and gave them an extra out and they capitalized on it. We talked about having to eliminate our mistakes," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "When you play teams like this, you give them an extra opportunity, they usually capitalize on it."
Two innings later, Rendon made it a five-run game in the eighth. With left-hander Mike Dunn on the mound, Rendon doubled off the left-center-field wall, scoring Werth and LaRoche.
Rendon is off to a hot start, going 11-for-27 (.407) a home run and eight RBIs. He also has been doing the job defensively. In the seventh, Reed Johnson tried to bunt his way on, but Rendon, filling in for Ryan Zimmerman at third, made a great play charging in and threw out Johnson.
"I did it a good amount of time in college. I guess I still have a little bit left," Rendon said.
Rendon has been playing third lately because Zimmerman is dealing with right shoulder issues.
"We don't want Ryan down, but if something like this happens and he has to be out a couple of days, we not only have Anthony, but we have Danny [Espinosa], who can play Gold Glove defense up the middle," Williams said. "That's one of the reasons both of them are on our team."
Relievers Jerry Blevins, Drew Storen, Tyler Clipppard and Aaron Barrett took care of Miami the rest of the way.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Lipscomb women's tennis team lost its fourth straight Atlantic Sun Conference match on Friday when they fell 6-1 to Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Fla.
"It was a difficult match today on the women's side," head coach Andrew Harris said. "I thought we came out with the right heart in doubles and got unlucky on some various points of the doubles point. Certainly seeing Danielle step up today in singles was great for her confidence. We continue to find ourselves in great situations for the doubles with the line up we have, and we will eventually have it click. Tomorrow against North Florida will be a good test for sure."
The Lady Bison came out strong in doubles play but fell just short of claiming the doubles point.
Sophomore Alyssa Bellini and senior Samantha Bowman picked up a doubles win at No. 3, taking down Veronique Spencer and Gabriela Bartos 8-4.
At No. 2, seniors Elizabeth Keevil and Danielle Hansen came up just shy of the win, losing the Djessika Bezerra and Virginia Iwinski 8-6.
Freshmen Deahna Welcher and Jenny Borck lost at No. 1 to Aline Staudt and Natalia Melibeu 8-1.
The Lady Bison entered into singles play with a 1-0 deficit, but, unfortunately, they were only able to secure one win.
The Lady Bison's only singles win came at No. 5. After losing the first set, Hansen came back to defeat Harjit Gosal 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.

Career Trends
Get a Grip on Success When You Meet an Employer
by Claudia Allen
What takes 10 seconds and tells an interviewer that you're open to new experiences? What says "I am someone who is conscientious, agreeable, emotionally stable, open, and outgoing?"
It's a firm, warm, confident handshake, according to a report published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. And if you look the other person squarely in the eye at the same time, give yourself another five points.
The report, Exploring the Handshake in Employment Interviews, followed 98 graduate students who went through mock interviews and rated them on their handshakes and interview skills. The report concludes that that people who follow common recommendations-have a firm, confident handshake and look the other person in the eye-receive higher ratings of employment suitability than do those who offer a limp, cold handshake with little or no eye contact.
What does a good handshake look like? The exact description, according to the study, is this: Your hand is extended straight out from the waist with the palm facing to the left and the thumb raised at a 45-degree angle. On contact with another person's hand, close your hand around the other hand, but then hesitate, giving the other person a chance to initiate the strength of the grip and the upward and downward shaking. Release your grip only when the other person begins to relax his or her grip (or you risk showing a sign that you want to terminate the handshake).
Researchers assessed eight handshake characteristics on a 5-point rating scale. Those characteristics included:
- completeness of grip (1 = incomplete and 5 = full),
- temperature (1 = cold, 5 = warm), dryness (1 = damp, 5 = dry),
- strength (1 = weak; 5 = strong),
- duration (1 = brief, 5 = long),
- vigor (1 = low, 5 = high),
- texture (1 = soft, rough = 5), and
- eye contact (1 = none, 5 = direct).
The study found men are more adept at handshaking while women excel in nonverbal communication, such as facial expression and good posture, two positives that overcome a less firm handshake. Women who offer firm handshakes received higher scores than men with equally firm handshakes.
A good handshake, researchers concluded, seems to be linked to such personality traits as extraversion, openness, assertiveness, and positive behaviors. Further, the study reports "more open women are perceived more favorably than less open women, while more open men are perceived slightly less favorably than less open men," and "women who are more liberal, intellectual, and open to new experiences have a firmer handshake and make a more favorable impression than women who are less open and have a less firm handshake."

I am concerned about the ingredients in Royal canin, one ingredient is "hydrolysed animal proteins" does anyone know what this is? I know hydrolysed vegetable protein is the nasty MSG (monosodium glutamate) and I am not prepared to feed Lou ingredients in this category no matter how much she likes the food.
I have considered Burns but heard bad press about it, does anyone have experience of this 'cos it seems to contain good ingredients. I know this question has probably been asked many times before... can anyone reccomend a dry food with great ingredients?
Thnaks, Claire

Rusk Inspires Wabash Basketballby Justin Miller '17 for The Bachelor • February 16, 2014 Share:
"Little Giants" and "Wabash Always Fights." inspire Wabash men. But the same words can be applied to one smaller giant with a fighting spirit.
The Wabash basketball team recently welcomed a new member whose life fully embraces both mottos — Andrew Rusk. A 12-year-old native of Brownsburg, Ind., Andrew battles mitochondrial myopathy.
"Andrew's disease causes muscle weakness, muscle cramping, fatigue, lack of endurance and a poor operating pulmonary and gastrointestinal systems," Karen Rusk, Andrew's mother, said. "Because of his dystrophy, he fatigues so quickly he's never been able to go through a regular school day."
Rusk was united with the basketball team through the organization Team IMPACT. Richard Sword '76 and his daughter, Payson Sword who works for the organization, contacted Basketball Coach Antoine Carpenter to see if the team would be interested in welcoming Rusk.
"[Team IMPACT is] here to match kids with life-threatening and chronic illnesses with college athletic teams," Payson Sword said. "The kind of guys that go to Wabash and the type of community there make it the perfect place for a kid who needs that family and team-based support network and opportunities to have fun and become part of a team."
That was what the basketball team provided Andrew.
"[Andrew]'s never known what it's like to be part of a school, he's never known what it's like to be part of a team," Karen Rusk said. "So, for him to have guys texting him and saying 'Hey, how are you today? What's going on?' and to talk about video games and boys-stuff is huge for him. That's part of the normalcy of life that we all take advantage of and he has no concept of."
Andrew has not only bonded with the team; he's embraced the spirit of Wabash. "Wabash Always Fights" has become his motto.
"['Wabash Always Fights'] means you keep fighting and fight to win," Andrew said. "You keep fighting no matter what."
Andrew's attitude and vigor have not gone unnoticed.
"It puts it in perspective for everybody on the team just how blessed we are, blessed that we have the opportunity to play basketball at this high level and have our health," Kyle Aiton '17 said. "[Andrew] always has a smile on his face; he's always up beat. Even if we lose, he tells us we played hard and did well. He's just a joy to be around because of his upbeat spirit."
Carpenter sees Andrew's impact in all his players. "They really love the motivation in the words that he gives them to get them prepared for games.
"Coming from a kid that they know struggles on a daily basis, who travels from Brownsburg to Wabash to see them practice or play — the bright spot of his day, it's wonderful and it inspires them."
Indeed, Andrew has a passion for basketball and his fellow Little Giants.
"You can see [Andrew] just wants to be out there with all the guys during our games," Carpenter said. "After our games he congratulates them and tells them good job, win or loss, because the most important thing for him to see is for the guys to have gone out and played hard.
"He always harps on our guys about effort. Wins and losses are great, but he just wants to see those guys to go out, play hard, and compete."
Andrew had never really showed interest in basketball beforehand.
"He had never watched a basketball game, ever, before coming to his first Wabash game," Karen. Rusk said. "And now he is up there telling them 'get the free throw' or 'get the rebound.' He's the one cheering them on. I believe he's got a passion for basketball, a passion for the guys. Those are his guys; that's his team."
Nevertheless, Andrew has embraced both basketball and the team. "It's very special," he said. "I love being part of the basketball team, and it's nice to be with the guys."
Andrew was made an official member of the basketball team Jan. 25 prior to the Oberlin game.
"You could see the spark in Andrew's eyes from being asked to sign an official letter of intent to become an official honorary member of the Wabash basketball program," Carpenter said. "It was a great day. We gave him a Wabash basketball t-shirt, an official jersey — his favorite number is seven, and we just happened to have one that we weren't using that was number seven—a warm-up top, a hat and, to top it off, a signed basketball with all the guys' names on it."
Even before being named an official member, Andrew's impact was great. The season would not have been the same without him being around the basketball team.
"The joy Andrew brings to us when he comes in and gives us our halftime speeches has just made it a real blessing to have him on the team," Aiton said. "We wouldn't have had the upbeat tempo without Andrew because he's that inspiration that a lot of people need in their life. Luckily for us, he has gotten to become part of our team."
Welcome to Wabash, Andrew. As a Little Giant, remember "Wabash Always Fights."

Difference between revisions of "High Atlas"
Revision as of 19:23, 27 August 2012
The High Atlas is a region in Morocco covering the mountain range and surrounding destinations such as Marrakech. It's a regular destination for mountain hikers, ski enthusiasts, or travellers interested in the indigenous Berber culture found throughout its many peaks and valleys.
Berbers are the indigenous North Africans, having inhabited the north coast of Africa ranging from present day Morocco to Egypt, for at least 5,000 years.
The Arab invasion of North Africa in the 7th century forced Berbers to assimilate, or take refuge in the Atlas mountains.
It is said that as much as 80% of the Moroccan population is racially Berber, however only half of those people live culturally Berber lifestyles.
Berbers have adopted Islam as their primary religion, but continue to speak dialectic Berber in their villages, and practice Berber music, spirituality, and art.
The Atlas mountains are home to relatively pure Berber populations, who live in earthen adobe houses. Marrakech is the only Moroccan city with a recognizable Berber ambiance, being situated at the base of the southern Atlas mountains. The color of Marrakech is the color of the Berbers - reddish, ochre and earth tones are the only colors you see adorning the adobe buildings, giving the impression that the entire city springs from the earth.
Other destinations
The stunning Ourika Valley - situated less than 30 minutes from the Marrakech Medina - is a portal to the High Atlas, and home to many Berber villages.
Get in
Get around
If you are looking to experience how real Berbers live in the High Atlas, there are different outfits that will help you get to some of their villages.

Petri Aspvik: What type of physical problem have you encountered due to tattooing?
Mike Rubendall: Before I was physically active and aware of what being in good health was, I had major back and neck pain. It seems to be a common problem amongst tattooers due to poor posture and long hours of tattooing throughout the years.
Have you had to see a doctor, chiropractor, masseuse therapist, acupuncturist or anything similar because of problems or because you want to avoid them?
I would regularly see a massage and physical therapist. They have been helpful for me for the most part. However, I feel maintaining a healthy diet and exercise is a more effective method to avoid any type of chronic pain caused by tattooing…
Have you modified your workstation because you have encountered physical problems or wish to avoid them?
I have modified my workstation in a way where it is most efficient for me. Everything is very easily accessible. I rarely tattoo in compromising positions (other than conventions of course). I use tables and armrests as mush as possible. I even utilize an armrest for me to rest on, not always the client. In addition, I have eliminated the use of a foot pedal and completely rely on constant current to my machines. This has done wonders for my lower back. It was one of those discoveries that I wish I had found sooner.
Do you follow a work out regime to keep in shape and healthy?
I follow a workout regime anywhere from 4-6 days a week. It usually consists of boxing, running, crossfit and recently, yoga. I've completely changed my lifestyle some years back and it has become a way of life for me. It is much more than physical conditioning. I believe exercise is the key to my mental strength and makes it easy to maintain positive mental attitude as a result. Over time I have seen a direct correlation between exercising and my ability to deal with the pitfalls life has to offer.
Have you had to change your eating habits in any way because of tattooing?
Yes. I have changed my eating habits drastically. I follow a gluten and dairy free diet. I will generally eat about seven meals per day, roughly every three hours and not particularly large portions. I have adjusted my schedule to accommodate my eating habits. My day consists of three 2-3 hour blocks of time for tattoo appointments. These few adjustments have seemed to maximize my energy level. I'm able to tattoo longer and maintain a higher level of focus and patience.
Do you snack between clients or during longer session? If you do, what do you eat/drink?
I think small snack or lunch breaks are important throughout the day. This allows your body to refuel and recover in a sense. I feel that it is extremely important to stay hydrated as well. I often drink coffee (3 cups max) during my mornings/afternoons and understand it's not particularly healthy, but I really enjoy it. I tend to stick predominantly to drinking water throughout the day. A general rule of thumb that I use in regards to "how much water should I drink," is half the number of your body weight in ounces per day. For example, I'm 150 pounds and I generally try to drink about 75 oz of water per day. I believe it is important to pay attention to what's going into your body, to be in touch with how you feel and listen to your body. Make the changes necessary to achieve the quality of life you desire.
7. What about spiritual/psychological health? How do you maintain that?
The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz.

I can't help wondering why Yuuno and Arf aren't made playable. Are they despised that much by the makers? I mean, Yuuno maybe defensive but they could make him counter-centric a la ExDeath.

I cannot see Yuuno doing anything but binding his enemies and do some..melee ? Maybe he could team up with Arf to balance between range attack and melee attack...?
Well, it's not like he's that weak or something...it's just..from what I've seen in the anime, what he's done mostly in combat is basically binding the enemies to give Nanoha some time to do her attack (?). CMIIW
I can't imagine Yuuno to be someone like Exdeath....it's kinda...scary o.o; Especially to make a counter-based character in this game.
I had just played this game a couple of minutes ago. It's quite fun, eventhough I don't understand it at first (had a couple of try to do some melee combat and just spamming Divine Buster to my enemy). And, is it just me or do they make Nanoha too strong in this game ?
Also, Material-S is cute >w< (Dark nanoha / starlight destroyer(?) )

Hmm, the few Nanoha blogs I've seen haven't talked about it in detail.... Odd. Sorry. D:
There's already a Dark Piece Nanoha, plz don't confuse me using that term for Material-S. I like saying Material-S 'cause Nanoha is S anyway Starlight Destroyer is fine!

well, after one day of owning the game, i've gone through 4 characters stories already (Fate, Nanoha, Hayate, Vita, and currently on Signum), and i must say despite all the negativity of the game.....i really like it. sure it's not in depth or technical like Blazblue or as combo crazy, but darn it there's nothing like dishing out Divine Busters at point blank range. anyways, i felt like giving small thoughts of the game that i liked via list style:
-Vita's story was enjoyable out of everyone's so far (lol'd @ the post event of Zafira's battle)
-3rd round song for Fate's battles is the best battle song....EVER
-Fate's Material counterpart (can't remember the letter) is one of the coolest characters designed. didn't realize she had black tips on her hair, and the way she speaks is vastly different from Fate (Nazeeee?!.......so adorable). you so rock Mizuki Nana!

*note before you start, have an email address you'd like to use for signing in for the future. and if you do have a PSN account already, you can't use the same email address for the Japanese one. one email account to one PSN account.
1) on the XMB, go to the Playstation Network section and choose Sign Up for PlayStation Network
2) choose Create a New Account (New Users), continue
3) under Country/Region of Residence, choose Japan. everything then changes into Japanese, so if you know a bit of Japanese things will be easier for you.
4) skip down to the section that says 生年月日 which is basically your birthday. that's right, lie to your hearts content because it's not like they'll check it out for real.
5) next choose the button that says 次へ to move on
6) next is the privacy policy. in other words, you're not going to read it at all especially in Japanese right? so while it's loading you may as well get the cursor ready and press down until the bottom buttons are highlighted or else you'll have to scroll down the whole policy. choose 同意する to move on.
7) hopefully you have an email address in this day and age because you'll need it now. the first section is the email address you'll use for being able to sign in so a real email will be needed. i created a new one specifically just for the PSN account so you don't have to really use it as a every day one. after you enter it, a notice will pop up so just choose OK.
8) the second section パスワード is the password you'll choose. you'll need at least 6 characters with one of them being a numerical number (ex nanofate2)
9) 3rd section is just a confirmation of the password from the previous step. the little check box below it is to remember the password.
10) 秘密の質問 = Secret Question . just for the sake of being easy, choose the top one which is "where were you born?". this time, you'll need to type in Japanese so good luck choosing one you'll remember if you don't know Japanese.
11) choose 次へ after you're done
12) if you did it right, you'll be taken to the next section which is choosing you're online ID. choose what you want, but keep these in mind (it's what the yellow text is sayin)
-has to be 3-16 characters. use hyphens ( - ) and underscores ( _ ) if you want to space
-don't use you're password as your ID.....i don't know who would but oh well
-don't share with anyone yadda yadda
-not sure the last bit, something about you can make the account only once and no changes will be allowed (don't take my exact wording for this though)
choose 次へ after you've got an available ID
13) it's time to make up stuff again. i think it's asking for your first and last name for the first two. the third one is what gender. choose 次へ when done.
14) next section is a doozy. only because it's asking for your address of where you live. but since we don't live in Japan, well.....time for make up your info time again. like i said before, they won't check and it doesn't matter. choose 次へ once you've had a blast believing you really live in Japan.
15) check the box confirming everything you've inputed. choose 次へ
16) it's reviewing everything you put in. not sure how to type the one you need to pick, but it's in the same place that you usually saw 次へ (the far right button at the bottom). and then.............
badabing. hopefully you got in because i was doing it at the same time as i was typing this. choose whatever was popped up, and then sign in (auto sign in if you know you're going to forget your ID and password).
so when you input the code whenever they make it available, go to the store, select the button that has 12 and a pencil next to it which is located at the top right of the screen. from there input the code that you find by scratching the area with the silvery stuff on the card that came with the game.

Hmm... Interesting... =3
I found these while browsing the Gamespot forums.
The translations are courtesy of Heavenwargod from the mentioned forums.
Spoiler for Nanoha's Skill Set:
Spoiler for Fate's Skill Set:
And what's this? Hayate's skills don't just include Norse Mythology?
Spoiler for Hayate's Skill Set:
I find it extremely ironic that most of Hayate's skills can be done WHILE moving when every bit of information about her skills given in StrikerS say, "Stand in one place and fire away."
Spoiler for Chrono's Skill Set:
Spoiler for Signum's Skill Set:
Only these are available so far. But it does make some more sense out of the game. :3
(Well, it's not like I have a PSP in the first place *mumblegrumble*)

Anyhoo, the dark versions vary. I kind of forget what some are like because my memory sucks, sorry. D:
Dark Piece Nanoha = .... is not much different from the real one from what I remember, lol.
Dark Piece Fate = Emo. srsly, she was going off about how she's always alone and stuff and I zzz'd. Buuut, Fate vs Dark Piece Fate is interesting because of that. When you Full Drive Burst against her, Fate even says "We're not alone." ;s
Dark Piece Hayate = Really friendly and thicker kansai-ben. It's so cute~
Dark Piece Chrono = Basically, what Chrono was like during A's as he was searching for info about The Book of Darkness.
The Wolkies are very different. They haven't met Hayate.
Dark Piece Reinforce = tbh, I don't remember much about her. I think she was a little sad because she didn't think she'd find a decent Master.
Dark Piece Vita = Think of berserk Vita from ep1 of A's. 200% Tsun.
Dark Piece Zafira = He's also insane like Vita. :s
Dark Piece Signum = I don't think she was much different from the real one.
Dark Piece Shamal = Er, she just seems sad. Don't remember much about her either. ~_~
iirc, Dark Piece Signum and Shamal realize that they're memory fragments in some characters' Story Mode. It's kind of sad because when you beat the Dark Wolkies, the character sometimes tells them how the future is bright because they have a kind master/go into slight detail about Hayate. Everyone tells the defeated Dark Pieces that they're just having a nightmare and it's time to sleep. Nanoha vs Dark Piece Hayate was sad, but cute....
Er, I'll just talk about this now since I'm sure you or someone else will ask about the Materials. The Materials are the defence program thing of The Book of Darkness. Made from the remains of The Book of Darkness, they're trying to bring the book back. They're very different from their counterparts.
Material-S = The Starlight Destroyer, she is Nanoha's counterpart. She represents Logic. Serious and polite.
Material-L = The Thunderblade Assailant, she is Fate's counterpart. She represents Power. Okay, so she's like Touma from Minami-ke when she speaks, lolol. She's very brash.
Material-D = The Ruler of Darkness, she's Hayate's counterpart. She represents "King" [being able to rule I guess?]. Not superior to the other two, so don't get confused. She's the polar opposite of Hayate minus kansai-ben iirc.

Alright, thanks both of you. I like the Wolkies and Rein a lot so I've really been dying to hear about the plot and characterization in the game.
Hopefully someone will do script translations eventually. Maybe on gamefaqs or something...

RH: Excelion Mode.
Nanoha: Hayate-chan, I won't lose! Starlight Breaker!
RH: Starlight Breaker.
Nanoha: Full burst!!
Yeah, dood, full burst SLB. Wtf. Just wtf. This isn't Nanoha vs Fate from S1. D:
And Dark Piece Vita hurt my ears. I can barely hear some of the other characters sometimes *COUGHSHAMALCOUGH* and then Vita has to be all.... loud. :|
So I guess Rin finally got Saber after all. Yeah, I don't really like Material-D. She scares me. Material-L ftw.

Posted on April 4, 2014
For a while there, I was selling collectible 78 rpm records on eBay and the one piece of advice I got more than any others was "Please do not mail it in a pizza box." This was unnecessary advice. I have made some bad moves in my time, but I have never considered mailing ANYTHING in a pizza box. Besides, 78 rpm pop records tend to be ten inches across, and it would ruin my reputation to be seen dealing with a pizza that small.
However, as a piece of advice to pass along to somebody else, it seems perfectly suitable. So I will pass it along to you, pepperoni popover: please do not donate books in pizza boxes.
In fact (you saw this coming, didn't you?) I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that April is a "Please Don't Bring Us Any Books Month". Those are the breathing periods we work into the calendar so we can kind of step back from processing the incoming flood and look over the things we set aside for later—those records from the Soviet Pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair, say, or the binders of Pokemon cards.
Let's go over the rules again. "Please don't bring us any books" means "Hey, if you can hold off 'til May, we'll be grateful." It does not mean "We will shoo you away if you bring us books" and it does not mean "Aw, I was just kidding: flood us with Ya-Ya Sisters." If you MUST clean out a storage locker or an apartment or a safe deposit box, you must. I don't ever want to be in the position of saying "I can't take your Gutenberg Bible; I have all these paperback romances to price."
What I'm aiming for is just a bit of time to work my way through the fifty boxes of comparative religion (we are going to have the largest religion section ever this year, oh seeker after the truth. Bring money: it's always useful on a quest for enlightenment.) I'd like to finish up those 1100 Easy listening records (I think I got into another collection this afternoon: a whole box of Swedish and Yugoslavian folk dance music.) Time is needed to deal with all these books on decorative Victorian ironwork and decide whether they go into Antiques or Architecture. You can see how having to bring in your forty boxes of unread New Yorker magazines would use up time that I could spend on these vital matters.
Of course, this is controversial. My advisors, who sometimes refer to themselves as my "helpers", have suggested other ways to get a breather: accepting books only on even-numbered days is a popular one, as is posting a sign saying "NO BOOKS TODAY". They forget that putting a sign like that on a library appeals to the more jocular newspaper photographers.
I can think of these things by myself, you know. I found three records by April Stevens in a box yesterday, and started thinking up new rules. In April we accept only books and records by people named April. In May, we accept only if the donor remembers to say "Captain, May I?" before unloading the car. March would be reserved for high school band music. The possibilities are endless.
It'd do just as little good as what we do now, but it'd be more fun to argue about.

This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
The Da-Lite ViewShare Advantage 113" Video Spectra 1.5 Electrol Screen offers the same features as the Advantage Electrol with the added benefits of ViewShare Technology, which incorporates an integrated Logitech C930e HD video camera for video conferencing.
Built on the Advantage Electrol Projection Screen technology, construction of this ceiling-recessed screen permits the case to be installed first and the fabric added later once a suitable projection surface is decided on. This is a big plus since companies constructing viewing rooms may not be certain of what they need in a screen.
Quiet operation makes the Advantage more professional in appearance as well as less distracting to your audience. With easy plug and play USB connectivity, and the fact that it is compatible with any free peer-to-peer (P2P) video conferencing software, the ViewShare Advantage Electrol Screen is suitable for many venues.

Lady Gaga is no stranger to strange occurrences, but even she couldn't anticipate what happened on Thursday, Nov. 22, when she woke up in the middle of the night to raid the fridge for Thanksgiving leftovers — and discovered 35 uninvited guests hiding out on the property where she and her family were staying in Peru.
The "Cake" singer, 26, revealed the incident on Twitter early Friday morning, explaining that security cameras had caught her new Peruvian friends in the garage. (Gaga was in Lima for a concert on Friday, Nov. 23, and spent Thanksgiving day with Peruvian girls who had been sexually abused and lived at a shelter in the poor neighborhood of Lurin.)
"#MONSTERFACT When Gaga is asleep, try to break into the garage, sing loud as possible + ring the doorbell repeatedly," she wrote, along with the hashtags "#happeningnow" and "#badkids." A few minutes later, she elaborated: "Thanksgiving story: woke up for leftovers in kitchen (naked) — stumbled on security camera revealing 35 monsters in my garage. #why #iloveu"
Seemingly unfazed, the star joked, "I tried to figure out how to slide stuffing under the door, but there's no cat-flap."
Gaga's relationship with her fans — a.k.a. Little Monsters — has always been unique. Earlier in the day, she sent a message to her nearly 32 million followers on Twitter, thanking them for their unwavering support.
"Happy Thanksgiving Twitter!" she tweeted. "I'm thankful for all of you, the messages of positivity u send me everyday lift me & make me stronger."

This might be of interest to a few of you who like to paint in watercolor. It's my preferred medium as I suck with most others. I did a painting of the giant Earth spider Tsuchigumo recently for the Gomineko book project of Japanese creatures. It's from it's moment of death when the belly of the beast was sliced open spilling a lifetime of skulls along with hundreds of baby spiders. Cool story…
I tried to take a photo every night or whenever I was about to start a new stage in the progression. You can kind of see my process in layering my colors. Most of this is Dr. Martens Hydrus and concentrated watercolor. There's a little FW liquid acrylic in there too. All the black is Speedball ink. It' was my first time trying that brand of ink in a painting and I had mixed results. I tried out a different kind of paper for this one much to my disliking.
I used Reeves BFK on this for it's smooth texture. It's like a heavy linen hot press paper. I really struggled with it. It was great to line the design 0n but the concentrated watercolor would bleed like crazy. I really had problems getting the stuff to stay where I put it. Somewhere through the process I switched to Hydrus and the thicker paint with the pigment in it didn't run nearly as bad. Suffice it to say I won't be using that paper again for this kind of project. Have a look. If you're on Facebook I'd love some feedback there as I've turned off comments on my site due to too much fucking spam.
I've also got a few prints of this… E-mail me if you're interested: email@example.com

Very pleased, nice and firm, good solid mattress, been suffering from neck aches before we bought this mattress, but two weeks down the line, no neck ache!! Still can`t believe it was caused by my old mattress. British made, recommended.

Exactly as described on the website, this is a medium/firm mattress that provides good support for somebody like me with a bad back and yet is not too firm and thus remains very comfortable to sleep on. Would not hesitate to buy another - great value.

I got this (the previous model) after having a chat with the Peterborough branch who were very helpful. It's been amazing! I suffer from back pain and this mattress has provided the support I need but yet allows my hips to sink a little into the mattress (I'm female) so I can sleep on my side too. Being double sided I expect it'll last for years to come too. I still think the price is really reasonable given that other brands offer this mattress for a lot more so a similar quality. Oh forgot to mention, this is a really high quality mattress and it's worth every penny! I've been sleeping on it for 6 months and it's still new!

Wow - very thick and comfortable - feels like it will last for years and years.

I love the look of the Viscount. It's nice and deep and has a luxurious plump finish. The bulldog border eliminated side sag and allows you to sleep right to the edge. With it's natural fillings it will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. The medium / firm tension suits couple of different builds with the pocket spring stopping any roll together.

Charlottetown partner Murray Murphy, QC, CHRP, quoted in Lexpert article on the right to strike
In the February 2016 issue of Lexpert Magazine, partner Murray Murphy, QC, CHRP, was interviewed by Julius Melnitzer for the article, The right to strike: Supreme Court's labour trilogy has wide ranging impacts.
This piece looks into the three Supreme Court of Canada decisions which held that the right to strike is an "indispensable component" of collective bargaining. Murray states that this trilogy, "[calls] into question the extent to which the government can create orderly arrangements for collective bargaining." These decisions impact union organization and collective bargaining from both a legislative and dispute resolution perspective, and Murray also believes that the economy could be affected, if governments continue to focus on the need to lower deficits. In addition, this trilogy could influence other emerging developments in labour and employment law, and shift union mentality; Murray notes, "if some members become unhappy with their union and think they can do better with another one, they might challenge those aspects of the legislation that restricts their right to choose their union."

|good bench - D. Ng "digdug"
|Rate: 4 out of 5
- really solid bench, is quite heavy and sturdy
- wheels allow relatively easy mobility
- 8 adjustable positions from decline, to flat, to almost upright
- leg extension with handles that can allow you to lay on your stomach to work your hamstrings
- good for sit-ups, especially from the decline position
- padding is quite thick and solid, yet comfortable
- the back pad is almost 3 ft. so ample space
- all the screws, nuts, bolts, washers are clearly labeled and separated to make for an organized assembly
I was looking for one bench to do decline, flat, and upright. It's not completely upright, which isn't such a big deal but having it not be so comfortable flat is a disappointment. Having the leg extension though makes up for the shortcoming as it makes the bench more versatile. Having the back pad so long though makes it difficult to do tricep extensions sitting upright. However doing them while sitting on a ball is better for you anyway.

|Rate: 5 out of 5
I bought this and the box came within a few days. I opened it up to find out that this was a box that had been opened previously and a few pieces were mising. Don't know who exactly to blame on that (Body Solid or Amazon) but I was extremely disappointed by this. I called Body-Solid and they sent out the missing parts immediately.
Once I had all parts assembly was not too bad but took a little while. I could see it being tough for the not-so-handy types, or the guys who get almost all the way through a project and notice they forgot a bolt from step 1 (I would be that category).
The bench is rock solid. My buddy and I are big dudes and we lift big weights. We got this bench to replace our old one which may not have been up to the task to support our lifting. This monster is more than able. Comes complete too with handles for leg excersizes and the leg developer locks in place to hold your feet when you do declines. This is a serious bench and a great addition to any serious lifter's gym.

|Rate: 5 out of 5
|This is a HEAVY duty bench. It is extremely comfortable. I'm 5'10 or 11 and can reach the floor with my feet, no problem. The handles for the leg workouts are a great addition. The wheels make moving it easy. It is really long, but getting it out of the way is a snap. With the bench in the flat position, it can be stood up on the wheels and the top of the back support. Adjusting the angle is a smooth action. If you don't want to use olympic weights, you can leave the sleeve off. Once it's installed though, it's not something that you can just slide back off.
|Eventually Perfect - Edward Brown "Ed"
|Rate: 4 out of 5
Sturdy & heavy-duty.
Comes w/ wheels
Very well-padded & the handles behind the seatback are a nice touch.
When the unit is put together w/ proper-fitting parts, it's the absolute best. The only reason I rate it 4/5 is because, after a number of similar complaints, they won't fix the unnecessary problem.
|tank - A Graphic Designer "Surfing the Keywork"
|Rate: 5 out of 5
t's a tank. downright fun to assemble. a bit messily packed and a few scuffs, but i've already stopped caring.
it's heavy, much more sturdy than the junk you find at sport authority, big 5 etc.
durable, sleek, powerful, adjustable, sexy, and made for people who actually USE the gear they buy
i did my research before buying and this is the best FID bench on the market... and quite possibly the best quality leg developer on any bench it even comes with an olympic adapter that bolts on sturdy. many benches don't.
if this bench got you reaching for the plastic, keep going. it's the one you want.
PS the photo lies: mine isn't that color, it's 100% jet black with some chrome highlights. i was VERY happy to discover this!
|Good bench - George
|Rate: 4 out of 5
|Pro's: - really solid bench, is quite heavy (makes it hard to move around, but also very sturdy) - handles are a nice touch that most benches do not have. - padding is very thick. - all the screws, nuts, bolts, washers are clearly labeled and separated to make for an organized assembly Cons: - the pads were a slight hassle to fit, just make sure you don't tighten everything up until everything is aligned and started. - high off the ground - at 5'11" and doing bench press, my toes barely touch the ground. I use small wooden boxes under my feet to get a good foot plant. I was looking for one bench to do flat, incline and decline (only for legs). The bench is too high from the ground. The leg developer and the sturdiness makes up for the shortcomings of the bench. I would also like a little more range of motion for the leg developer. Overall above average.

Just thought I would let my readers know (and anyone else who's interested) that I have not fallen off the face of the earth - although sometimes it does feel like it. The last few months at work have just been crazy and has not left me with much time for blogging.
However, a new year has begun and one of my resolutions is to be more faithful to this blog and my family history.
So stay tuned, folks - there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Court Goes Censorship Crazy Against Dutch Pirate Party
from the whac-whac-whac-a-mole dept
The Court specifically ruled that the Party's reverse proxy has to remain offline. It was further ordered that Pirate Bay domains and IP-addresses have to be filtered from the Pirate Party's generic proxy. In addition the Pirate Party can't link to other websites that allow the public to bypass the blockade. These orders are only valid when paired with an encouragement to circumvent.Basically, telling people how to get around a block, even if it's linking to a general proxy (not a specific one) is now barred in the Netherlands. The fact that the court now is telling proxies how they can work is a huge overreach. That seems like a pretty blatant restriction on free speech. The thing is, do the folks at BREIN actually think this charade is effective? All it seems to be doing is enraging tons of people in the Netherlands, and doing absolutely nothing to stop them from going to The Pirate Bay.

So you want to create an instance using script? If so, alothough we don't yet have the reference docs this example should help http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/nodes/create_instance/start

I posted that Create Instance sample as a response to this thread, just before lunch today... But with the merging/moving of the thread(s) that was happening, opted to wait on responding to this thread until I got back - and dealt with other more urgent things. I've answered the same question a few times in private communications, so I thought it best to post the sample on the Documentation Center and be able to reply with a link. It seems Richard's timing happened to coincide... Anyway, I updated the sample a moment ago to include comments. I'll update it again later, when I'm at home, to be consistent with the various other samples I've been building up in that section.

Is it possible to use a script to convert all identical DS 'duplicates' into the more render-efficient DS Instances?
I've just revisited Infinito videos and liking the brushing trees and rocks onto the terrain feature, but they are not Studio instances...
It would also be really useful to environmental type to be able to convert say ZBrush's array mesh, nanomesh, fibermesh exports to Daz Studio as instances.


text: Despite the title, this outrageously bad Rock 'n' Roll monster movie from Puerto Rico features neither the titular monster-maker nor his lumbering creation. Instead, we're presented with an astro-robot named Frank, who comes to save the day when Martian forces led by Princess Markuzan (Marilyn Hanold) begin kidnapping scantily-clad Earth females from sock-hops and beach-blanket shindigs everywhere -- apparently with the intent of populating a few parties of their own. The aliens manage to french-fry most of Frank's face off, but he nevertheless manages to snap back (after a few minor adjustments) and give the invaders what-for. Also known by the more honest title Mars Invades Puerto Rico.~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

Bucks' win streak ends with loss to Knicks
NEW YORK (AP) — Carmelo Anthony was aware of the standings and the injury report.
With Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin out and Milwaukee in town, the New York Knicks couldn't afford more of the mediocre Melo.
"Tonight it was a game we had to win," Anthony said. "And I wanted to do everything in my power to do it."
Anthony scored 28 points, delivering his highest total in two months without the injured Stoudemire and Lin, and the Knicks beat the Bucks 89-80 on Monday night to increase their lead for the final Eastern Conference playoff berth.
Shortly after learning Stoudemire was lost indefinitely with a bulging disk in his back, the Knicks opened a 2 1/2-game lead over the Bucks and prevented Milwaukee from winning the season series and clinching the tiebreaker if they finish with the same record.
Anthony, long one of the NBA's elite scorers, hadn't even reached 20 points in his last seven games. The Knicks won six of them, with Stoudemire leading the team in scoring over the last four. But with Stoudemire and Lin gone, the Knicks were missing about 32 points per game, and even with their stronger defensive play, some of that had to be replaced.
"I've just got to step my game up," Anthony said. "We've been winning. As far as scoring the basketball, we really haven't been needing that. It's been pretty much spread out but now with them two guys, there ain't no telling what's the situation with them. So it's just time for me to step my game up in all aspects."
Baron Davis scored 13 points but shot 3 for 12 with nine turnovers in his first start in place of Lin, who has a sore right knee. Tyson Chandler also had 13 and Iman Shumpert 11 as the Knicks overcame the absences of their second- and third-leading scorers.
But they won this one with defense, limiting Milwaukee to 36.5 percent shooting and containing high-scoring guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. Jennings shot 6 of 22 for 15 points, and Ellis made only two of 14 shots for four points.
Mike Dunleavy scored 26 points for the Bucks, but missed all three shots in a scoreless fourth quarter after he was 10 of 11 through three.
"We just tried to keep them as uncomfortable as possible and the rest is just the basketball gods telling them they're not going to make shots today," Shumpert said.
The Knicks won for the seventh time in eight games despite shooting just 35 percent, while Milwaukee lost for only the third time in its last 10. The Bucks had won five straight road games and suffered a rare loss at Madison Square Garden, where they had won six of seven.
"I don't think either team played particularly well," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "I thought there were moments out there that were very un-NBAlike. It wasn't high-level quality from both teams, and somebody had to win and they won."
Anthony hadn't scored this many since netting 35 points on Jan. 20 in a loss to the Bucks. But he said before the game he needed to step it up a notch after learning that Stoudemire would be sidelined, and came through despite tweaking his groin muscle again.
Anthony has battled that and other injuries along with an erratic shot this season, and though he insisted he wasn't worried about his offense, Chandler said he's noticed his All-Star teammate getting frustrated with himself.
"I could just see it. I think he's been playing great personally," Chandler said. "He's just an aggressive scorer and the greats love the pressure, and they get down on themselves when they feel like they're not playing up to their expectations."
Stoudemire left the Knicks' victory over Detroit on Saturday after saying his back tightened up. An MRI on Monday afternoon revealed the injury, which the Knicks said won't require surgery. He had led them in scoring in four straight games, and the Knicks remember from their playoff loss to Boston last year how tough it is without Stoudemire.
It'll be easier if they keep defending like this.
The Knicks outscored the Bucks 21-12 in the third quarter to take the lead despite shooting just 3 of 21 from the field. They went 15 of 18 from the free throw line while Milwaukee didn't attempt one.
New York pushed it to 84-74 on JR Smith's 3-pointer with 4:38 remaining, and after Milwaukee scored six in a row, Shumpert's 3-poiner with 2:09 to go put it away at 87-80.
"We missed a lot of gimmes, a lot of shots that we normally make," said Jennings, who scored 36 points in a victory here earlier this season.
The Bucks started 3 of 15 as the Knicks raced to a 20-10 lead before Dunleavy checked in. He scored 14 points in the final 3:42, making all five shots, as Milwaukee trimmed it to 30-26.
Dunleavy fueled a 12-0 burst in the second quarter with 10 points as Milwaukee turned a three-point deficit into a 49-40 advantage on his layup with 3:02 to go. He had 24 points on 9-of-10 shooting in just 13 minutes as the Bucks took a 52-47 lead into halftime.
NOTES: Bucks F Carlos Delfino played just 13 minutes before leaving with an injured right groin. … The teams meet again in Milwaukee on April 11. … Knicks interim coach Mike Woodson was coaching his 500th NBA game. He is 213-287.
