Short review: I guess I've been a bit sheltered in the past by other sites I've reviewed of a niche such as this, they've shown the action, and I've cringed a time or two, but this site really has carried things to a level that I never dreamed people would actually partake in. The brutality upon the butts will be something that will have these people sitting softly for weeks to come!
Content Amount: It's sad to say they don't offer dates as to how often they do keep the freshness flowing onto this fetish site, but they promise through tour it's scheduled nicely but no way for me to confirm that. The overall count is fair at this time.

How To Choose a Gym in Hobart
As we move towards progressive times, it is becoming steadily evident that physical and mental fitness is a prime quotient in the lives of every individual. These are not mere philosophical statements, given the fact that most of you would be leaving this page at the onset of the first line. However, this is a fact that is supported by imminent medical scholars and scientists. The fast paced lives in today's world, where people are treading every step with double pace to make ends meet, they end up neglecting the most important aspect which is the basis of all their excursions- the human body. The human body is like any other machine and in these fast paced times, just like any other machine which is maintained for maximum output at all times, the human body needs to be nourished for its different tangible parts. People who end up neglecting the basics at the onset of their youth often end up paying a heavy price for the breakdown of their body in later ages. Constant care of one's body is extremely essential to sustain the physical exertions and be energized in the long run that is associated with every individual's livelihood. Given the modern day scenario, unlike good old yore we can avail all the facilities under the sun without even having to step outdoors. Hence experiencing exhilarating situations without even having to move from the comfort of their homes has become all the more charming and appealing to all generations. Thus technology has and is steadily replacing age old habits with comfort and never before seen experiences to the user. In such a case, we can see that the effects of lack of exercise and indulging one's taste-buds to their joy with liberal leverage has already started taking its toll across all age groups which quite a serious concern, even at the bureaucratic levels as well. Thus in order to nip this disease at its bud before it takes complete grip over humanity, we should all devote some time in our itinerary to a healthy routine in a gym in Hobart.
The first and most basic requirement of selecting a gym in Hobart is that it should be an extremely private space. Since you will be entrusting yourself in the gym in Hobart to a personal trainer to guide you through exercises mind it is important for you to be comfortable in your own skin in the gym. While selecting a gym in Hobart you may want to ask a few questions about the amenities and facilities that the gymnasium administration provide to its entire member staff. You should also note if the trainer is interested in answering your questions or if he is merely interested in getting you as a client. A Good gym in Hobart will not be interested in just engaging clients but in conveying the overall contribution of the gym to good health.
The second tip to finding a good gym in Hobart is to ensure that the preferred gym in Hobart has been up for quite some while. That way you can always manage to acquire reviews and feedback regarding the functioning of the gym, its faculty and instruments. It is however always recommended for obvious reasons to opt for a gym in Hobart which has a good reputation. There is no doubt that new gyms in Hobart can be good but since you are paying money for the time you spend in there, you should opt for a gym in Hobart with a trainer who is experienced and recommended. If you are going to go to a gym in Hobart and search for personal trainers then you should talk to the members who have opted for personal training in that gym in Hobart. It is always beneficial to know if other members are happy with the services they are getting from the gym in Hobart.
The third tip to find a good gym in Hobart is to do your research. You should spend some time researching online for reputed gyms in Hobart with personal trainers. There are numerous websites that will tell you which gym in Hobart is good and before you sign up with any gym in Hobart you should make it a point to know about their training experience. The Internet is a medium wherein you can find numerous reviews and recommendations to help you make a decision in selecting a gym in Hobart before you enroll.
Additionally, you will also want to find a gym in Hobart with a trainer who is known to motivate clients. Most people who are new to exercising often find it hard to exercise continuously. Your gym in Hobart should come pre-equipped with a personal trainer who should be able to motivate you and help you get past the initial rough period. Your body will be sore when you exercise for the first few days and your personal trainer should be able to show your exercises to ease the soreness. Some of the exercises your personal trainer will show you will include cardio exercise, warm up and cool down exercises. Your personal trainer should definitely motivate you but he should know the limits of your body and he should not force you to exercise if you have extreme pain in any part of your body.
While choosing a gym in Hobart to enroll in, you should keep all these things in mind. It is always better to pay a little more and opt for a best rather than paying less and opting for a gym in Hobart which is not effective or does not suffice your needs. Personal training is a rewarding experience and if done right you can lose weight, tone up or build muscles in a short period of time.

Thyroid Function Tests
Thyroid Function Tests
What are thyroid function tests?
Thyroid function tests are common tests done to see how well the thyroid is working. Some of the most common thyroid function tests include:
Blood tests. This test is done to measure the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood, which helps determine thyroid function. High levels of the hormone indicate an underactive thyroid. Very low levels indicate an overactive thyroid. A blood test can also measure levels of hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and less often, a protein called thyroglobulin.
Ultrasound exam of the thyroid gland. An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs. It's done to detect signs of abnormal enlargement, or nodules, on the thyroid, and to guide biopsies of concerning nodules.
Thyroid scans using radioactive iodine or technetium (another radioactive element). This test helps determine the cause of abnormal thyroid function. This may be important in deciding whether a person will need his or her thyroid removed (thyroidectomy).
Radioactive iodine uptake test. This test involves giving a small amount of radioactive iodine to measure how much is taken up by the thyroid. This test can distinguish between several causes of elevated thyroid hormone blood levels.

EACH Aug. 4, my wife Alex and I visit a church to light candles for two people we loved who both died tragically on that day two years apart my mother, killed at 64 in a car crash, and Alex's closest friend from graduate school, killed by AIDS at half that age. My mother was Jewish but loved the meditative serenity of vast cathedrals. Alex's friend, John, was a Roman Catholic conflicted by a religion that demonized his sexuality. Our favorite pilgrimage is to an Episcopal church, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, not as some sectarian compromise but because of its AIDS chapel, a haunting reminder of the plague that ravaged that city's population, especially its gay men, some time ago.
What helps give us some solace is the chapel's mesmerizing altarpiece. It was the New York artist Keith Haring's last completed work in the weeks before his death by AIDS at age 31 in 1990. Titled "The Life of Christ" and radiant in gold leaf, it crowns its anguished panorama of suffering with a pair of angels ascending to heaven all rendered in Haring's whimsical, graffiti-inspired iconography. Even as he was succumbing to a ruthless disease that had provoked indifference and cruelty rather than compassion from too many of his fellow citizens, Haring, somehow, could still see angels. You needn't be a believer to be inspired by the beauty of his vision.
Not every artist struck down by AIDS could hit so generous a note. Such was the case with David Wojnarowicz, a painter, author and filmmaker, who, like Haring, was a fixture of the East Village arts scene in the 1980s. When his mentor and former lover, the photographer Peter Hujar, fell ill with AIDS in 1987, Wojnarowicz created a video titled "A Fire in My Belly" to express both his grief and his fury. As in Haring's altarpiece, Christ figures in Wojnarowicz's response to the plague albeit in a cryptic, 11-second cameo. A crucifix is besieged by ants that evoke frantic souls scurrying in panic as a seemingly impassive God looked on.
Hujar died in 1987, and Wojnarowicz would die at age 37, also of AIDS, in 1992. This is now ancient, half-forgotten history. When a four-minute excerpt from "A Fire in My Belly" was included in an exhibit that opened six weeks ago at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, it received no attention. That's hardly a surprise, given the entirety of this very large show a survey of same-sex themes in American portraiture titled "Hide/Seek." The works of Wojnarowicz, Hujar and other lesser known figures are surrounded by such lofty (and often unlikely) bedfellows (many gay, some not) as Robert Mapplethorpe, John Singer Sargent, Grant Wood, Thomas Eakins, Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol, Andrew Wyeth and Haring. It's an exhibit that would have been unimaginable in a mainstream institution in Wojnarowicz's lifetime.
The story might end there like Haring's altarpiece, a bittersweet yet uplifting postscript to a time of plague. But it doesn't because "Fire in My Belly" was removed from the exhibit by the National Portrait Gallery some 10 days ago with the full approval, if not instigation, of its parent institution, the Smithsonian. (The censored version of "Hide/Seek" is still scheduled to run through Feb. 13.) The incident is chilling because it suggests that even in a time of huge progress in gay civil rights, homophobia remains among the last permissible bigotries in America. "Think anti-gay bullying is just for kids? Ask the Smithsonian," wrote The Los Angeles Times's art critic, Christopher Knight, last week. One might add: Think anti-gay bullying is just for small-town America? Look at the nation's capital.
The Smithsonian's behavior and the ensuing silence in official Washington are jarring echoes of those days when American political leaders stood by idly as the epidemic raged on. The incident is also a throwback to the culture wars we thought we were getting past now most eerily the mother of them all, the cancellation of a Mapplethorpe exhibit (after he died of AIDS) at another Washington museum, the Corcoran, in 1989.
Like many of its antecedents, the war over Wojnarowicz is a completely manufactured piece of theater. What triggered the abrupt uproar was an incendiary Nov. 29 post on a conservative Web site. The post was immediately and opportunistically seized upon by William Donohue, of the so-called Catholic League, a right-wing publicity mill with no official or financial connection to the Catholic Church.
Donohue is best known for defending Mel Gibson's anti-Semitism by declaring that "Hollywood is controlled by Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular." A perennial critic of all news media except Fox, he has also accused The Times of anti-Catholicism because it investigated the church pedophilia scandal. Donohue maintains the church doesn't have a "pedophilia crisis" but a "homosexual crisis." Such is the bully that the Smithsonian surrendered to without a fight.
Donohue's tactic was to label the 11-second ants-and-crucifix sequence as "anti-Christian" hate speech. "The irony," wrote the Washington Post art critic, Blake Gopnik, is that the video is merely a tepid variation on the centuries-old tradition of artists using images of Christ, many of them "hideously grisly," to speak of mankind's suffering. Those images are staples of all museums even in Washington, where gory 17th-century sculptures of Christ were featured in a recent show of Spanish sacred art at the National Gallery.
But of course Donohue was just using his "religious" objections as a perfunctory cover for the homophobia actually driving his complaint. The truth popped out of the closet as Donohue expanded his indictment to "pornographic images of gay men." His Republican Congressional allies got into the act. Eric Cantor called for the entire exhibit to be shut down and threatened to maim the Smithsonian's taxpayer funding come January. (The exhibit was entirely funded by private donors, but such facts don't matter in culture wars.) Jack Kingston, of the House Appropriations Committee, rattled off his own list of exaggerated gay outrages in "Hide/Seek," from "Ellen DeGeneres grabbing her breasts" to "naked brothers kissing."
It took only hours after Donohue's initial battle cry for the video to be yanked. "The decision wasn't caving in," the museum's director, Martin E. Sullivan, told reporters. Of course it was. The Smithsonian, in its own official statement, rationalized its censorship by saying that Wojnarowicz's video "generated a strong response from the public." That's nonsense. There wasn't a strong response from the public there was no response. As the museum's own publicist told the press, the National Portrait Gallery hadn't received a single complaint about "A Fire in the Belly" from the exhibit's opening day, Oct. 30, until a full month later, when a "public" that hadn't seen the exhibit was mobilized by Donohue to blast the museum by phone and e-mail.
The Post's Gopnik has been heroically relentless in calling out the Smithsonian and the National Portrait Gallery for their capitulation. But few in Washington's power circles have joined him, including the Smithsonian's Board of Regents a gilded assembly of bipartisan cowardice that ranges from Senator Thad Cochran, Republican of Mississippi, to Senator Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont. This timidity has been particularly striking given that the city's potentates gathered to bestow the Kennedy Center Honors last weekend on the choreographer Bill T. Jones, whose legendary artistic and personal partnership with Arnie Zane came to a tragic end when Zane was killed by AIDS at age 39 in 1988.
It still seems an unwritten rule in establishment Washington that homophobia is at most a misdemeanor. By this code, the Smithsonian's surrender is no big deal; let the art world do its little protests. This attitude explains why the ever more absurd excuses concocted by John McCain for almost single-handedly thwarting the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" are rarely called out for what they are "bigotry disguised as prudence," in the apt phrase of Slate's military affairs columnist, Fred Kaplan. Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council has been granted serious and sometimes unchallenged credence as a moral arbiter not just by Rupert Murdoch's outlets but by CNN, MSNBC and The Post's "On Faith" Web site even as he cites junk science to declare that "homosexuality poses a risk to children" and that being gay leads to being a child molester.
It's partly to counteract the hate speech of persistent bullies like Donohue and Perkins that the Seattle-based author and activist Dan Savage created his "It Gets Better" campaign in which gay adults (and some non-gay leaders, including President Obama) make videos urging at-risk teens to realize that they are not alone. But even this humanitarian effort is controversial and suspect in some Beltway quarters: G.O.P. politicians and conservative pundits have yet to participate even though most of the recent and well-publicized suicides by gay teens have occurred in Republican Congressional districts, including those of party leaders like Michele Bachmann, Mike Pence and Kevin McCarthy.
Has it gotten better since AIDS decimated a generation of gay men? In San Francisco, certainly. But when America's signature cultural institution can be so easily bullied by bigots, it's another indicator that the angels Keith Haring saw on his death bed have not landed in Washington just yet.

An excerpt from a new book about director Céline Sciamma, as published by Seventh Row.
Here is the story of two boys coming of age in two strangely combined families. Poetic, romantic and idealistic, it begins in 1939 and concludes after the end of World War II. It's not strictly speaking a Holocaust movie, although the dark cloud of that atrocity arches overhead.
The setting of "Simon and the Oaks" is a Swedish coastal community, where we meet Simon (Jonatan S. Wachter), a dreamy young boy drawn to the solitude of an old oak, where in a tree house he devours books and is filled with ineffable longings. His parents, Karin and Erik (Helen Sjoholm and Stefan Godicke), are salt-of-the-earth types, his dad a master carpenter. Inspired by his books, Simon is drawn to enroll in the local school. His father opposes this, seeing it as a threat to the family.
In the school, he meets a German Jewish boy named Isak (Karl Martin Eriksson), whose parents fled from the Nazis. His father, Ruben (Jan Josef Liefers), owns a bookstore in the town, and Simon regards with awe all the books he sees in its window. When a fellow student taunts Isak for being Jewish, Simon comes to his rescue and bloodies the bully's nose. Then Isak takes Simon home to meet his parents, who live in a luxurious flat above the store, filled with art and exuding sophistication.
Keep these characters in mind. There is more to them than we suspect. We gradually discover that Karin and Erik are childless and raised Simon after he was born to his unmarried Aunt Inga (Cecilia Nilsson). Simon's father was a German Jewish violinist who had a romance with Inga, which was cut short by the war. So Karin and Erik may have notions about why Simon is drawn to music and a life of the mind.
They invite Isak to come and live with them, as a refuge from anti-Semitic bullying at school. Subtly, the families merge, and it's clear Isak's father and Simon's mother are attracted to each other. Erik notices this, but exercises tactful restraint. He is compensated because Isak is as fascinated by Erik's boat building as Simon is by Ruben's bookselling. Each father gets a surrogate son. And both sons are targets for the Nazis.
We may anticipate that the movie will advance slowly through the war and reach its climax that way, but no; unlike most movies involving the Holocaust, this one places the war's end at the halfway point and leaps ahead. Now the two young actors are replaced by older ones; Simon is played by Bill Skarsgard (Stellan's son), and Isak by Karl Linnertorp.
The oak tree is not forgotten, nor the images which young Simon imagined in the cloud formations above it. Ruben takes Simon to concerts, which transport him, and gives the boy a radio-phonograph, which fills the simple seaside home with music. Subplots involve illness and sexual initiation.
The film is based on a Scandinavian best-selling novel by Marianne Fredriksson, and arrives bedecked by 13 Swedish nominations and two awards. It is unabashedly sentimental and epic, and rather bold in the way it takes place during and after the Holocaust but is not defined by it. The real story is of two unconventional families who help each other in a time fraught with danger. I was intrigued by the relationship of the two fathers, who arrive at an unspoken detente for the benefit of the two sons.

Using Your EBT Card to Get Food Supplements and TANF
Where can I use my card? Stores post signs with the "Quest" card logo. In the lower left hand corner, these signs will display a simple "food supplements" logo, a dollar sign ($), or both. This indicates whether that store will let you use your card as payment for food (from your food supplements account), other items (from your TANF account), or both. On the sample sign here, there are two small logos. A store displaying this sign would accept your card to buy both food and other items.

Emergency Assistance
Emergency Assistance (EA) is a program run by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). EA helps children and their families with some emergencies. The program does not cover all emergencies. You have to have children in your home, but you do not have to be on TANF, to get EA. If you qualify, EA will pay certain basic needs. For example, if you and your child have just been evicted from your home and you don't have the money to pay the security deposit on a new apartment, you may be able to get EA to help pay the deposit.

What Can I Do if My Landlord is Trying to Evict Me?
Decide what you want to do. If you do not want to stay, but you need more time to move, call your landlord or the landlord's attorney to see if you can settle the case. Your landlord must take several steps to legally evict you. These steps take a minimum of two weeks beyond the move-out date listed in the first notice. So, if you need more time, don't sell yourself short. If you are offering to save your landlord the expense of a court hearing by settling early, you should be able to get some extra time for that. Before you agree to a date, read more below under "What if I plan to move out but I need more time?"and "How much time do I have?"

Research Scientist, Australian Institute of Marine Science
Dr. David Bourne works with Earthwatch volunteers to study the health of corals in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Coral reefs around the world are under increasing threat from direct human activity and global climate shifts, which together are contributing to accelerating rates of reef deterioration. In Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is fundamental to our nation's economy and a national icon that needs to be preserved to ensure ongoing sustainability of our marine resources. Warming seawater temperatures, ocean acidification, and increased freshwater inputs carrying pollutants onto these reefs all disrupt the sensitive symbiotic associations that determine the health of corals, the major group of organisms that build the structural framework of coral reefs. Understanding how these environmental stressors cause declining coral health, leading to disease, is critical for preventing the loss of coral reefs and an important step toward preserving them for future generations.
"Black band disease is one of the most frequently reported diseases in tropical reefs," says Dr. Bourne. "One major cause is the seasonally high water temperature. Thus, results from this study allow us to understand at the micro-scale how the environmental conditions and the complex microbial community interact to result in the onset and progression of this coral disease."
Out on the water with scientifc research vessel Cape Ferguson.
Investigate the impacts and causes of coral disease on the Great Barrier Reef.

Giants Among Common Men Lyrics
It's all the same, nothing's changed
Again, I find myself in the current
As I am gracelessly tossed around and around
Your words echo and your voice resounds
When we awake from our sleep
We'll know that this is where
We're supposed to be
With walls, and walls, and walls
Of water for miles
Just know that: We are so fragile
And easily broken
But I'll try my hardest
To put you back together
If you do the same for me
For now just sleep my sweet
Don't worry about what tomorrow brings
So let's pretend that
We're giants among common men
Because we've never been taller
Than our demons within
Why did you have to leave me
To fend for myself?
Am I such a terrible man?
Am I such a terrible, terrible man?
I am such a terrible man!
Such a violent and hostile man!

Chalet Dragon Reviews
I went with my 20 yr old son. We both ski and have never stayed in Italy before. We've both been to all the big French resorts and wanted a change. The added bonus of this Italian resort is its connection to Zermatt. We're a bit spoilt and like almost ski to door accommodations. The Hotel Dragon didnt disappoint on that level. Very friendly staff and clean rooms. Great location right near the main chairlift. Ask for an extra pillow though and the beds are very firm. Im a vegetarian and they had no problem with this at meal times. The slopes are wide and mostly easy reds. A few nice blacks but the more challenging skiing is in Zermatt. We skied over twice during our stay. The weather stopped us going over more but to be honest I think we would only have gone one more day the max as plenty of little off piste places to play in Cervinia.The snow was excellent, even in late March. Only had queues for the lifts in Zermatt, Cervinia was quiet the week before Easter Hols.The resort itself is pretty but very small. Not the place to go with mates for a party week but great for families or couples. Theres heli skiing and you can book a night out on a skidoo to a restaurant in the hills which is fun. I highly recommend this hotel and the skiing was great. Glad we made a change from France and dont really want to go back to a French resort for a while as it was nice to get a welcome and friendly face wherever we went.

This hotel really surprised me - I wasn't expecting much after the price we paid, but the rooms were huge (and the Matterhorn view balconies fantastic), the beds were lovely and comfortable, the food - and the wine - were great and the staff really friendly. You can almost ski back to the door and the bar is a lovely apres venue. Cervinia as a resort is wonderful - great atmosphere and not too expensive! We would definitely go back - in fact we're already planning the return...

Well, at the tender age of 36, It looks like I may be going back to school this fall. I keep picturing myself attempting a triple lindey off the high dive at the university pool. Anyhow, I'm not sure how the increased demands on my time will affect things here at Fried Green Comics. Worst case would have me cutting back to two new comics a week. But that doesn't mean I can't still update three times a week. Here's an idea for a little filler if it's needed:
Wildcard Wednesdays!: I figure I still have some old CE stuff and some old never seen cartooning efforts that I could post on Wednesdays to keep things lively. Or I could post anything relative to cartooning and comics in general. I'd also invite any readers to e-mail me any of their work they'd like to post. If I get some participation, I think that this could be fun!
This is just one idea, and i welcome suggestions from anyone here on how we could keep things rolling if my schedule gets too hectic. I should probably take my studies a little more seriously this time around. I'm paying this time, not my parents.
So any thoughts on Wildcard Wednesday or any other suggestions?

The Witless Bay Ecological Reserve contains four islands-Gull, Green, Great, and Pee Pee-that teem with bird life during the seabird breeding season.
The reserve contains North America's largest Atlantic puffin colony. More than 260,000 pairs of the province's official bird nest here during the late spring and summer.
Notably, Witless Bay Ecological Reserve also hosts the second-largest (after Baccalieu Island Ecological Reserve) Leach's storm-petrel colony in the world-more than 620,000 pairs come here to nest.
In addition, black-legged kittiwakes and common murres appear in the thousands.
The islands lie just a few kilometres off the east coast of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, between the communities of Bay Bulls and Bauline East, half an hour south of St. John's. The reserve area takes in 31 km2 - 29 km2 of this is a marine area around the islands. Regulations govern the operation of boats inside the reserve during the sensitive nesting season (April 1-September 1).
Seabirds generally spend most of the year at sea and only return to land from May to August to breed and raise their young. For the most part, public observation of their activities must be done from boats-landing on the islands themselves requires a scientific research or special access permit.
Several licenced tour-boat companies operate out of the communities near the islands (see Services). Running spring through fall, these boat tours also provide opportunities to spot icebergs, whales, and other wildlife.
The Canadian Wildlife Service and Memorial University of Newfoundland carry out extensive research programs in the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. Their studies of the birds' behaviour and population trends, as well as the area's ecology, help guide the management of all the province's seabird reserves.
The Witless Bay Islands are part of the Maritime Barrens-Southeastern Barrens subregion (1.1 MB). The Islands were originally designated a wildlife reserve in 1964. They became the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve in 1983, three years after the Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Act was passed.

The European Association for Solar Telescopes (EAST) was founded in 2006 by a group of solar physicists from 14 European countries. Three more countries have joined after that.
The goal of EAST is to ensure access of European solar astronomers to world-class high-resolution ground-based observing facilities. In order to achieve this goal, EAST intends to develop, construct and operate a next-generation large aperture European Solar Telescope (EST) in the Canaries. Furthermore, EAST endeavours to co-ordinate the operation and scientific use of existing high-resolution optical solar telescopes on the ground in Europe, and to co-ordinate and facilitate efforts of its members to participate in other solar facilities such as the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope. EAST shall facilitate access to these solar facilities also for European solar physicists who are not EAST members and encourage their participation in EAST.

White Papers and Application Notes
Modeling of Vickers indentation of TiAl alloysG. Maizza, and R. Cagliero
Politecnico di Torino, Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24, Torino, Italy
Instrumented indentation is increasingly used as an alternative non-destructive test method to measure mechanical properties of small volumes of materials. In this work, the instrumented indentation test is applied as a non-destructive method to assess the mechanical properties of TiAl components during the setup of a real production process. This study is a preliminary contribution devoted to the development of a suitable computer model to assess an integral methodology which combines indentation experiments with computer simulations. The proposed model using COMSOL is a highly non linear contact structural analysis having a strong singularity at the indenter tip. It utilizes an elasto-plastic constitutive law combined with an experimental indentation stress-strain curve to describe the actual mechanical behaviour of TiAl alloys. The latter is constructed using samples (i.e. disks) of pre-specified composition and microstructure taken from the real process.

Tips on Writing Letters to the Editor
Help animals by putting your opinion in print
Writing a letter to the editor is a great opportunity to share your opinion, educate the public about animal issues, applaud someone for doing the right thing, or criticize inhumane policies. A well written, well timed letter to the editor can shift public opinion and influence policy.
- Editors prefer to publish timely, concise letters that respond to an article, editorial, or other letter that appeared in the newspaper. They also prefer to run letters about issues of local importance and interest.
- Before writing your letter, review the newspaper's policy on letters to the editor. It is frequently available on the newspaper's web site under the Opinion section.
- Write and submit your letter as quickly as possible, preferably the same day that the article runs.
- Submit letters by email whenever possible. (Look for the email address on the newspaper's Web site).
- Your letter must stand on its own—not all readers will have seen the original story.
- Open your letter with a strong statement that comments on an article, editorial, or other letter that appeared in the newspaper. Your opening statement can take issue with a comment from someone interviewed for the story, add to the discussion by pointing out something readers would need to know, disagree with an editorial position, or point out an error or misrepresentation in an article.
- Be careful about accuracy and avoid personal attacks.
- Keep your letter as short as possible by focusing on one, or at most two, major points. Support your position with facts, statistics, citations or other evidence. Aim for no more than 250 words, and be sure to stay under the paper's word limit.
- Close with the thought you'd like readers to remember. Instead of focusing your attention at a reporter, editor, or expert who got it wrong, consider the central point you want people reading the letter to take away.
- Ask someone to review your letter to be sure your writing is clear and you are getting your point across.
- You must include your name, street address and phone number. Editors are on guard about fake identities and will often contact you to verify that you wrote your letter. They will not run anonymous letters. The editorial pages exist to offer a cross section of community opinion. Editors are more likely to publish letters on issues that are important to their readers.
Things to keep in mind when submitting a letter to the editor:
- Don't respond to numerous articles in a short amount of time. Many papers have policies that limit how frequently they will publish the opinion of one individual or organization.
- Keeping your letter short will increase the likelihood that the editor will have time to read your letter and consider it for publication.
- Editors will modify your letter for clarity, and could cut parts of it entirely if it is too long. It's best to send a short, well written letter to avoid the chance that you disagree with the changes the editor makes.

A Marathon Rivalry! (燃えよカビゴン!ポケスロンの王者!! Get Fired Up, Snorlax! The Pokéthlon King!!) is the 3rd episode of Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors.
Episode Plot
As the heroes continue their path to Daybreak Town, they spot a giant trampoline. Pikachu and Piplup jump on it and get bounced when a Snorlax jumps on it as well. They notice Snorlax is much stronger and a man comes, seeing that Snorlax improved. The man is a scientist named Daniel and the heroes introduce themselves to him. Daniel brags that he used scientific methods to train it. In his facility, he wires some devices on Snorlax and Snorlax runs on the training line and when it is about to jump across an obstacle, Daniel jumps to get Snorlax jump safely and quickly.
While impressive, Ash tells Daniel that he and Pikachu do not need technology to be bonded or to train. Daniel responds that he is bonded with Snorlax via science, making Ash a bit angry. Ash challenges him to a battle to prove his words. Daniel refuses, but offers him to compete in the Pokéathlon; a series of challenges where a trainer and his/her Pokémon compete, which is held in Camellia Town. Brock and Ash know of this as they traveled in Johto when it was held. They look upon the poster to see what challenges are present, so Ash is tempted to enter. Daniel does not believe that a non-scientist could defeat him.
As they come to the registration booth, Dawn tells Ash she won't be participating, as she needs to focus on the Contest. Daniel does not believe he would be defeated by feelings, but Ash notices Snorlax seems a bit sad from all the training it received. Daniel checks this via the computer and realizes Ash was right, though baffled that Ash did not use computers to know. James and Meowth approach and advise Daniel his Snorlax could use a massage. Though Daniel is a bit skeptical, he leaves the tent, which makes Team Rocket pleased they got themselves a new Pokémon for the boss. James and Meowth advise Ash as well his Pikachu could use a massage. They take Pikachu (who seems that he needs massage) and go in the tent.
The Pokéathlon starts. The first event is Disk Catch, where the trainer jumps on a board so his/her Pokémon is launched in the air to get the disk. The disks are launched, the Pokémon jump and push the disks near the trainers. When the event ends, Ash and Daniel got an equal amount of disks and win. However, Brock and Dawn do not see Ash; he and Daniel went to get their Pokémon. At the tent, they see Team Rocket are getting away. However, Daniel's Snorlax is too heavy for the balloon to go off.
Jessie sends Yanmega, who uses Steel Wing to cut the rope. Snorlax is freed, so they take off with Pikachu in their possession. Ash sends Staraptor to free Pikachu, but gets poked and defeated by the robotic arms. While pleased, they blast off when Snorlax crashes the balloon by jumping from the trampoline. Ash runs to get Pikachu before he falls, but Snorlax comes and Pikachu lands on it. Ash thanks Daniel, though Daniel responds he wants to beat him using science. Suddenly, they get a call they need to report in the arena, so they run inside. They come in time for Hurl Dash. When they come to their places, they receive headgear (which works on the principle Daniel used to train with Snorlax in his facility); simply put, the trainer needs to react to jump so that their Pokémon can react in time, as they can only get the trainer's transmission when to jump.
The trainers do well; in the lead are Ash's Pikachu and Daniel's Snorlax. Before the finish line, Snorlax and Pikachu charge towards the end. It is a close call, but upon viewing the slow-motion video, Snorlax won by a belly. Ash congratulates Daniel and thinks he should train somewhen like he did. Daniel admits he paid attention what Ash said and felt Snorlax's emotions. They shake hands, which reminds Dawn of her next Contest in Daybreak Town.
- The Pokémon on the Pokéathlon poster were all introduced in Generation II, referencing the fact that in the anime, the first Pokéathlon was held in Johto, a reference to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Possibly, Meowth also references the said games by mentioning "heart and soul" in the motto.
- The same device used to torture Kaiser in the episode The Legend of Dratini appears in this episode.
- Meowth breaks the fourth wall by saying "this is a reality show".
- Ash and Brock mention events that happened off screen, namely that they knew of the Pokéathlon when traveling through Johto, the episodes of which aired before the Pokéathlon even existed.
Right in the beginning, Dawn is shown in the middle of Ash and Brock, though Ash is shown in the middle in the next scene.

A man has been charged with allegedly spraying paint on a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II hanging in Westminster Abbey, police said Friday.
Tim Haries, 41, appeared at a London court charged with criminal damage over 5,000 pounds ($7,800). He was arrested at the abbey Thursday after a portrait of the monarch by Australian artist Ralph Heimans was defaced with paint.
Fathers 4 Justice, a protest group that campaigns on behalf of fathers denied contact with their children, said Haries was a member. He had painted the word "help" on the 9-foot by 11-foot canvas, the group said.
U.S. & World
Haries didn't enter a plea during his brief court appearance Friday. He was released on conditional bail until a court appearance in two weeks, and banned from London after police raised concerns that he might join a protest there over the weekend.
Heimans' portrait, which depicts the queen standing on the spot in the abbey where she was crowned, was commissioned last year to mark the monarch's 60 years on the throne.
The abbey said the painting has been removed from public view until it can be restored.

The Aiken, S.C., County Council voted by majority to approve changes to the code of laws for RV parks and campgrounds on Tuesday, including an amendment that a buffer yard be installed on all sides of such facilities except in certain cases, the Aiken Standard reported.
The approved changes are that an RV park and campground be a minimum of 2 acres and that maximum density not exceed 12 vehicles or campsites per acre. Originally, the minimum acreage was 5 acres and the maximum density 10 vehicles.
It was Councilman Gary Bunker who added the amendment requiring buffers: a buffer of between 15 to 20 feet wide must be present on all rear and sides of RV parks or campgrounds, and that a buffer between 5 to 10 feet wide be present along the street frontage. This only applies to RV parks that are between 2 and 5 acres.
The buffer is required except where such a facility borders railroad tracks or creeks as long as there isn't an adjacent residential structure.
A buffer can be plantings, privacy fencing or masonry walls.
Bunker, Council Chairman Ronnie Young and Councilmembers Scott Singer, Kathy Rawls, Chuck Smith, Charles Barton, Sandy Haskell and Willar Hightower voted for the amendment. Councilwoman LaWana McKenzie was opposed.
"It's real easy to see who can benefit from the changes. It's more difficult to imagine the potential harm," Bunker said.
The changes have been debated by the council for several months.
Caroline Sparks and Bob Samples, both owners of RV parks in Aiken County, have urged the council to make the changes.
"We've had more people in chambers opposed to the changes than people for it. I know y'all are sick of me saying this, but we're basically changing this for two people," McKenzie said.
She noted a petition signed by approximately 70 residents of Aiken County that oppose the changes.
Singer offered an amendment that any application to open an RV park or campground that is less than 5 acres go before the Planning Commission, be subject to a public hearing, and that signs be posted to let the surrounding area know.
The amendment failed with only Singer and McKenzie voting in favor. Young, Bunker, Hightower, Haskell, Barton, Smith and Rawls were opposed.
The original motion to approve the changes, including Bunker's amendment, passed by majority. Young, Barton, Hightower, Haskell, Smith and Rawls were in favor. Bunker, Singer, and McKenzie were opposed.

Photographs of an alleged leaked iPhone 5 front panel have emerged, alongside new reports that suggest that Apple has begun production of its next iPhone.
Japanese Mac blog MacOtakara claims that a 'trusted source' has said that Chinese manufacturers are beginning to ramp up production of the sixth-generation iPhone.
The sources say that the back of the iPhone 5 will have a naked aluminium surface. This backplate will only be "partially covered" by Gorilla Glass, unlike the iPhone 4 and 4S, the report suggests.
MacOtakara also notes that the small hole on the back of the iPhone that was spotted in previous leaked parts appears to be absent from new production models. The hole was rumoured to be for a rear-facing microphone, but the report claims that its absence may just mean that it is now invisible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, alleged photographs of the front panel of a white iPhone 5 have emerged, showing a taller iPhone with a centred front facing FaceTime camera. This is the first white iPhone front frame to have surfaced. Back in May, reports suggested that Apple could make the next iPhone available in various colours.
Last week, photographs of what appears to be an iPhone 5 engineering sample emerged, and a website was forced to remove alleged iPhone 5 photos following 'external pressures'.

The Sims 3 Seasons
Top Contributors: Jon Michael, IGN-Cheats, Mark Ryan Sallee + more
It's tough to break from the routine. No matter how many relationships your Sims enter, or what jobs they change to, it seems that Sims are often stuck in a rut.
The Sims 3 Seasons changes all that. Now with the addition of seasons and seasonal activities, your Sims have the chance to bolster existing relationships or start new ones as they participate in festivals and play with new objects! Just be on the lookout for landing UFOs, as your neighborhoods will be invaded by Aliens!
This section of our wiki for The Sims 3 will once again see how the Falkon family is getting along as they explore the new weather options and other new features for this expansion pack.
Table of Contents[edit]
- Seasons New Features - As with all expansions, The Sims 3 Seasons adds a bunch of new content to play with.
- Customizing Your Seasons - There is a single screen at which you can customize your seasons to your specific liking.
- Summer - Summer will be the first season you encounter when loading up a new neighborhood after installing Seasons
- Fall - Summer soon gives way to fall. You'll likely not see the hot temperatures from summer, but you probably won't see too many cold days either.
- Winter - The season symbol for snow is a snowflake, which is the only logical choice. Is there anything more nostalgic than snow?
- Spring - Spring is the season of love, which is advantageous for two bachelor Sims (and one's bachelorette SimBot).
- Aliens - Pyro struck out at the kissing booth in the Spring Festival, so he deludes himself with the idea that the problem isn't with him; it's with all these earthbound women!
- Attraction & Online Dating - A new feature of The Sims 3 is attraction, which is available with the latest patch regardless of whether you have Seasons installed. It's a small mechanic, but it can give your single Sims a romantic target in case you have no other plans.

« Back
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama walked a narrow path between ambition and realism, defiance and accommodation when he addressed reporters for the first time since winning a hard-fought election that gives him four more years to carve his place in history.
While he avoided terms like "transformational," Obama signaled that he still hopes to accomplish big things in spite of Congress' almost paralyzing partisanship. That could include an overhaul of immigration laws, which could become a coveted bookend to his 2010 health care revision.
There was a bounce in Obama's step Wednesday in the White House East Room. But there was no dancing in the end zone, no taunting of defeated opponents. He jokingly claimed he forgot about the election the day after it ended, so eager is he to plunge into his second-term agenda.
Obama said he is willing to work with Republicans to head off the worrisome package of big tax hikes and program cuts scheduled to hit in less than seven weeks. But he reiterated that wealthy households must pay higher tax rates, something GOP lawmakers fiercely oppose.
After all, Obama said in tone, if not exactly in words, he defeated Mitt Romney last week running on that platform.
But he stopped short of mimicking past presidents who have claimed wide-ranging mandates. He avoided the newly re-elected George W. Bush's 2004 boastful vow to start spending "political capital." Obama is well aware that Bush quickly suffered a stinging setback when Americans rejected his bid to partly privatize Social Security.
"I've got one mandate," Obama said. "I've got a mandate to help middle-class families and families that have been working hard to try to get into the middle class."
The president, a history student who reportedly ponders where he might rank among presidents, said: "I'm more than familiar with all the literature about presidential overreach in second terms. We are very cautious about that."
"On the other hand," he said, "I didn't get re-elected just to bask in re-election."
If Obama struck a seemingly conciliatory tone on domestic issues like the "fiscal cliff," he glared defiantly when he verbally smacked down two Republican critics — including Sen. John McCain, whom he defeated for president in 2008 — on a contentious foreign matter.
"If Sen. McCain and Sen. (Lindsey) Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me," Obama said in his most animated moment.
The two senators have harshly criticized U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice for her role in describing the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. "To besmirch her reputation is outrageous," the president said.
Every president has more leeway in handling foreign policy than domestic issues, which helps explain Obama's fiery comments. They hinted at a possible Senate showdown if he nominates Rice to be secretary of state.
The most pressing matter facing Obama is the looming fiscal cliff of big tax hikes and spending cuts. Both parties agreed to the unsavory package as a poison-pill incentive to spur lawmakers to reach a big deficit-reduction deal, which they promptly failed to do. Economists say the fiscal cliff package, which takes effect Jan. 1 unless Congress acts, could trigger a new recession and wipe out hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Obama, who was to meet Friday with Congress' top leaders, was measured in discussing the upcoming negotiations. His body language suggested compromise. His words, however, were sometimes vague, even contradictory.
He said he still insists that couples making more than $250,000 a year pay a higher marginal tax rate than the current 35 percent, the level set by the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003. Moments later, however, he said he was "open to new ideas" about adjusting the rates, provided they help produce substantially more revenue to fund the government.
Perhaps nothing could burnish Obama's legacy more than an overhaul of immigration laws that would somehow grant legal status to millions of illegal immigrants without triggering widespread anger over "amnesty" for lawbreakers.
The closest Obama came to rubbing Republicans' noses in their recent election setbacks was when he leapt at an immigration question Wednesday.
"I'm very confident that we can get immigration reform done," he said. Shortly before the election, he noted: "I predicted that the Latino vote was going to be strong, and that that would cause some reflection on the part of Republicans about their position on immigration reform. I think we're starting to see that."
An immigration package, he said, should improve border security, penalize companies that purposely hire illegal workers and provide "a pathway for legal status for those who are living in this country, are not engaged in criminal activity, are here to, simply to work."
Similar ambitions proved impossible for Bush, McCain and scores of other politicians. It's unclear whether Obama's re-election can provide enough impetus to overcome the many hurdles still facing the quest.
Obama's success in dealing with immigration and other issues will depend partly on how much partisan anger results from the fiscal cliff showdown and whether the economy continues to recover in 2013 and beyond. Setbacks on these fronts or others could force Obama to play political small-ball, as many people accused President Bill Clinton of doing in his second term, dominated by scandal.
If ever there's a time for a president to aim high, it's immediately after his election to a second and final term. And so Obama joked with reporters Wednesday, hinted at economic compromises without making specific concessions and lashed out at critics of his ambassador to the United Nations.
"I want a big deal," Obama said.
He was referring to resolving the fiscal cliff. The sentiment, however, might apply to his entire presidency, which just doubled in length, promising all sorts of possibilities and challenges from now until January 2017.
