The image represents symmetrical wake structure behind two uniformly rotating cylinders at Reynolds number of 200 and cylinder surface speed to free stream velocity ratio of 1.35.
Flow past a uniformly rotating circular cylinder placed in a uniform flow is a classical fundamental fluid mechanics problem with the fluid region behind the cylinder (wake) exhibiting interesting changes in flow features as the cylinder rotation rate is increased. The figure represent the wake structure behind two uniformly rotating cylinders with both cylinders having the same rotation rates and the cylinder surfaces in between the two cylinders moving in a direction opposite to the main flow direction. This problem has not been investigated in as much detail as the problem of flow past single rotating cylinder. The image represents symmetrical wake structure at Reynolds number of 200. The cylinders are separated such that ratio of center-to-center distance to cylinder diameter is 2.5. The ratio of surface speed of cylinder to free stream velocity is 1.35.
It is found that there is symmetry breaking occurring near this rotation rate at fixed cylinder spacing and Reynolds number, i.e, by changing (decreasing) the rotation rate by very small increment to say 1.30 the wake structure (flow pattern) changes dramatically to a very different pattern showing no symmetry at all. This change has no hysterisis with respect to rotation rate, i.e, one can switch the flow pattern by very small changes in rotation rate. The study increases our understanding of the fundamental fluid physics of this not-so-well studied problem and can have impact on several practical applications involving flow control, on design of devices such as mixers based on this technique, and possibly many more. The flow visualization is done using hydrogen bubble technique.
The research on this problem also used Particle-Image-Velocimetry system, the purchase of which was made possible by NSF grant CMMI - 0723094.

Regular readers will know I just love cream eyeshadows so when I saw these cute Skinfood Byulsatang cream shadows/liners I just had to buy a few to try
They look like cute pots with a cardboard lid:
The colours I purchased were:
01 Ice Turquoise
02 Grape Party
04 Apricot Cream
05 Black Chip
07 Brown Soda
These cream eyeshadows are very pigmented and thick in texture…I think the packaging is very cute but not a convenient size. I wouldn't carry any of these with me unless it was for a weekend away.
These cream eyeshadows have textures that dry out quite easily so they come with plastic lids to keep them creamy:
Brown Soda & Apricot Cream:
Black Chip & Grape Party:
This cream eyeshadow is a very thick textured one – if you use too much it WILL crease. On the plus side it is pigmented and the colour is easy to build up slowly – some cream eyeshadows never go beyond a sheer wash so at least these pack a punch:
Another nice way to apply these is to dip a blending brush in and work in to the crease. I noticed that this turquoise had partly dried out:
From left to right, turquoise, brown, apricot, black and purple:
Some of them have a faint shimmer (such as turquoise and brown) which once they've dried look very pretty on and wearable. Apricot is the closest to a base and it's nice but slightly orange toned.
These cream shadows are for people who won't go nuts if their eyeshadow creases a bit and like pigmented, thick textures.

I would love to have that question asked on live TV. And see him squirm with his answer. The big hypocrite!!
Quote from: bbjunkey on August 08, 2008, 09:16:10 PMI would love to have that question asked on live TV. And see him squirm with his answer. The big hypocrite!!BB wouldn't dare ask that question - they know that any question that would involve anything more than a yes or no answer would take him 2 hours to reply to. If Julie wouldn't have cut him off when she asked him if he was enjoying being in the BB house, we'd still be listening to him go on and on......
I know im like the only one happy with the noms (almost hoping Libra gets POV and Keesha leaves). But anyways, I just have to point something out. Everyone is pointing out that Jerry did the same thing as Dan. So lets point out something that Keesha did that she accused others of doing. While its whoever is not on the block's vote, she was so pissy when they even suggested to her that they wanted Jessie out when she was HOH. She was HOH it was HER week and she had to have HER way. But April wants someone out and it suddenly makes her trashy and fake. Oh and with that said, Keesha wanted Angie out for personal reasons (she admitted it) but they tell April she only wanted Memphis out for her own personal reasons. Same thing, sorry guys. And then this whole thing with Keesha and Memphis. Keesha didn't really go around getting or trying to get votes for Steven and if she did wasn't she technically doing the same thing for Memphis that Angie did for Brian. Trying to save a 'friend'? Sorry but right there is something else that Keesha has done that she is pissed the others have done. Keesha also sent Memphis up to "plead her case". Yet she walks around like shes a badass, but she can't talk to Michelle Shes 30 years old for pete's sake. Then again when it doesn't go their way its just a game. Like I said I really am almost hoping Keesha gets evicted but I know it won't happen. And I see alot of people like Dan, and according to the popularity poll he has alot of fans. So why would a true fan of BB put him in the America's Player situation? I mean anybody who is a fan of BB saw exactly what it did to Eric. In my opinion if he were to leave this next week, wouldn't that be America's fault almost? Alot of people have said that they think it is him. So didn't we put him in that situation? I mean I thought using Libra was a good idea because she could screw herself more. Its just something to think about. Im not a fan of anybody anymore. I was of Brian and Angie. Woo goooo me. At this point April is looking sane to me, minus the under the covers thing (but then again James didn't get as much heat for it last year as Chelsia, and the only reason that Ollie gets it is being a preachers son).
Forgive me, but I am on vacation and going thru BB withdrawals! Can anybody give me a brief update on what has gone on in the house since the show last night? I only have a dial up connection and limited time, but I am going nuts wanting to know what is going on!
I think BOTH those blondes are fake,I think they are both snakes and I want them both to go!!I'm sure barring any POV miracle Libra will be gone this week and it'll be interesting to see who becomes the house's next "puppetmaster"/scapegoat.I'm no fan of hers,but they are giving her way too much credit for running the house.I wonder how long it will take them to see that Keesha has set herself up pretty nicely vote-wise and the evictions have been to her benefit as well and that if they let her go on she'll win the game.(if they can even find somebody to put her up next to that would stay over her)Thats how it looks from where I sit anyway.

There's nothing quite like a bowl of oatmeal in the morning. I'm not talking about the oatmeal that comes in a pouch and heated in the office microwave with water from the water cooler. I'm talking about the oatmeal which is stirred over a flame, ladled into your favorite bowl and then topped with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. Or maybe you like your oatmeal with some fruit (dried or fresh) and nuts too. Either way, oatmeal is a great way to start your day. Just like this cake. As strange as this might sound, this cake tastes just like a bowl of oatmeal. There's a hint of brown sugar and cinnamon and buttermilk adds a pleasant tang. I used dried cherries and almonds, but any dried fruit or nuts would work as well.
Cherry Almond Oatmeal Cake
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup almond meal
2 large eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar
6 oz (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
2/3 cups dried cherries
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 9.5 x 2 inch round cake pan.
Combine oats and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. Let mixture sit for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl. Stir in almond meal. Set aside dry ingredients.
Add eggs to oatmeal/buttermilk mixture and mix. Mix in brown sugar and then mix in melted butter. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts.
Add dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Batter should still be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in cherries and almonds.
Pour batter in prepared pan and bake at 350 F until top is golden about 40-50 minutes.

Fall Cookware: A Roundup of Dutch Ovens
Fall is creeping up on us, and with it comes the prospect of braised sauces and hearty stews. Our favorite cooking pot for all these classic fall dishes is a Dutch oven. We realized that our Dutch oven roundup is rather old, so we set to work bringing you a newer, up-to-date set of favorite Dutch ovens.
• 1 Le Creuset Round Dutch Oven, 5 1/2-Qt., $189.95 at Williams-Sonoma. The classic round Dutch oven from Le Creuset. We appreciate the slate, white, and black colors they've released recently. Also look for deals on these at Amazon and at discount shops.
• 2 Staub 6-qt. Coq Au Vin Pots, $219.95 at Sur La Table. Big, gorgeous, expensive, and heirloom-quality. We love these.
• 3 Le Creuset Heritage Oval Cocotte, 4-Qt., $149.95 at Williams-Sonoma. A lovely shape for an oven-to-table cocotte.
• 4 Lodge 5-qt. Cast-Iron Covered Dutch Oven, $29.99 at Target. A great budget option. This isn't coated with enamel, so it will take a little extra care to season and maintain, but it's still a classic.
• 5 KitchenAid 6.5-qt. Oval Dutch Oven Multiple Colors Available, $129.99 at Target. A nice big Dutch oven for a decent price.
• 6 Paula Deen 5 Qt. Covered Oval Casserole – $89.99 at Amazon. We like the oval shape and relatively low price tag of this enameled casserole.
• 7 Lodge Logic 5 Qt Double Dutch Oven and Casserole with Skillet Cover, $50 at Amazon. Another classic from Lodge. The lid doubles as a skillet.
• 8 Mario Batal Dutch Oven 4 qt., $89.95 at Crate & Barrel. We like the pure white color and the shape of the handles.
• 9 Lodge Color Enameled Cast-Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice, $$69.68 at Amazon. One of the best deals out there, from American-made Lodge.
In addition to all of these, don't forget to check your local TJ Maxx and Ross, as well as other outlet stores, when shopping for a Dutch oven. They often have great deals on the best brands.
What's your favorite Dutch oven?

Yes, Dad had 4 or 5 Reo's. I was talking to my dad;s brother the other day and he said he remembers driving one of them to pick up the lime. Traveling today it is an hour and 45 minutes to Piqua straight up I-75. I should have asked him how long it took back then in a truck like that when there was no interstate.

It has been a pretty fantastic last few weeks of Seahawks football. RW just continues his ascension into the national media's collective mind and with it, the discussion of Wilson's legitimate shot at ROY.
The Seahawks are red-hot right now and the league knows it. Two historic back-to-back 50+ point blowouts tend to force an otherwise ambivelent league's hand. These Ain't Your Daddy's Seahawks. Big, strong, fast, fierce, such an explosive and deep mix of young talent, with Wilson leading the charge, there's no reason to expect anything less than Championship-caliber for the next several years.
The 49ers are what the Seahawks aspire to be and the funny thing is, they've closed the gap in record time. Our defense is not that far away from theirs and our offense is equally as explosive and dangerous. They may edge us in some categories and statistics but these two teams are very close in how they are built for longterm success.
Unfortunately, the Patriots had to go and ruin what could have been an epic battle for the division title this Sunday. Instead, we are left just hoping to secure a wildcard and then praying to the Football Gods that the Cardinals shock the nation in the final week while we take care of our final home game against the Rams for an improbable division title. Sure, there's an outside chance we could still win the division but the road - and math - would have been so much easier had the Patriots not crapped all over themselves in the first half of last Sunday's game.
There will be no doubt that this will be our toughest test yet at home. If Sherman is suspended this Friday and cannot play, our chances are that much tougher. I'm very close to calling this one a loss and yet another sweep job by the 49ers but I have completely become convinced that Russell Wilson is taking this team on his shoulders and displaying a level of magic on the football field that I have never seen in all my 36 years of being a Seahawks fan.
Russell baby, I believe.
Aros' Fearless Prediction: Seahawks 27 - 49ers 24
Aros' Fearless Record: 9-5

Weekend Herb Blogging #262 Roundup
Here's what bloggers from around the world sent in for our visual feast:
Megha from India made a Not So Traditional Tomato and Onion Chutney for us to enjoy on her blog Live to eat!!! She paired this spicy condiment with some raw papaya parathas. Spicy and good!
Our wonderful WHB Doyenne, Haalo, from the Melbourne, Australia-based blog Cook Almost Anything, gets ready for the holidays with a Stem Ginger Cake. I wasn't familiar with stem ginger, but they are pieces of baby ginger cooked in a sugar syrup and Haalo says they add a luscious heat to this moist, Christmasy cake.
Italian blogger Cindystar sends over another elegant holiday recipe: Insalata di faraona con castagne ed uva, or Guineafowl Salad with Chestnuts and Grapes. This would be the perfect way to use seasonal ingredients in a lighter dish to offset the richness of other holiday feasting.
Yasmeen from the Ohio-based blog Health Nut sends a recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Farro Stuffed Pablanos. Gluten-free cooks may want to sub in quinoa or rice for the farro, but either way, these appetizers look mighty delicious!
We get not one, but two delightful recipes for WHB from Indian blogger Priya from her site Bon Appetit. She shares a recipe for Dal Tadka and Parwal Fry. Parwals are a pointed gourd that are vine plants similar to cucumbers or squash. They look mouthwatering!
Here at The Crispy Cook, I tried cooking with poha for my entry to WHB. Poha is a flattened or beaten rice product that is soaked, drained and then cooked up quickly in many Indian dishes. My whole family really liked the Poha dish I cooked up with sliced potatoes, curry leaves, peanuts and spices. I also learned that poha can be used as a breading for fried foods, so may try that soon.
Brii is a resident of beautiful Lake Garda, Italy, and shares many spectacular photographs of the countryside on her blog, Briiblog in English. This week she offers us historical background about and a recipe for Christmas Stollen. Brii is also offering Italian readers a spot to read WHB posts in Italian on another of her blogs, Briggis Recept Och Ideer.
Thanks to all the bloggers who sent in their wonderful posts and thanks to Haalo for giving me this hosting opportunity. Next week Weekend Herb Blogging moves to China and will be hosted by Huan at Eat.Read.Live, so be sure to check out the roundup next week for more wonderful recipes.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (May 21, 2010) - A historic week and season came to an end for ETSU's Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) on Friday, as the sophomore carded a final round score of 3-over-par 75 in the NCAA Championships at the Country Club of Landfall.
Muehl, who became the first ETSU woman golfer to participate in the national championships, ultimately finished tied for 92nd on the leaderboard. She said her experience was both unforgettable and inspiring.
"I really enjoyed competing with the best players in the country this week," Muehl said. "I will take a lot of new experience with me from this tournament, and what I really saw was that our team is able to compete at this level. Our entire team has enough talent to make it next year.
"Especially now that I had a chance to see how professional this tournament is when it comes to the difficulty of the course and the skill of the other players, I want to share this experience with our whole team next year. That's the goal."
ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton echoed Muehl's thoughts.
"I'm disappointed that our whole team was not here," Shelton said. "This is what college golf is about - playing for a national championship against the best in the country. I am proud of Nina's competitiveness and composure. She is definitely among the best in the country and her 64 last week put her among the nation's elite.
"ETSU women's golf has steadily risen towards the top in the country and we definitely want to see our program compete with the best here at nationals."
The ETSU women's golf season comes to an end with the final day of championship play. Fans can keep up-to-date on the team throughout the offseason and summer months by visiting ETSUBucs.com and clicking on the women's golf link.

Jeep Wrangler Axle Wrangling - Part 2Posted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on April 21, 2014
When it comes to modifying your 4x4, the line between need and want can be a tad blurry. Sometimes, you'll get lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view) and your 4x4 will give you a clear sign that an upgrade is warranted. This usually comes by way of broken parts. For us, our upgrade omen came by way of Dana 44 axles that were no longer up to task for our '97 Jeep Wrangler TJ.
Last month, we gave you the rundown on our search for a rear axle upgrade for our V-8-powered TJ. The requirements for our Jeep included being able to handle 37- to 42-inch tires, easily support 5,000 pounds, and of course, gladly absorb spirited full-throttle assaults courtesy of the rig's 5.9L Dodge Durango-sourced engine. In our previous installment, we narrowed our axle options to two all-new and two junkyard rear axles. Each axle carried a list of pros and cons, but ultimately only one made the most sense for our 4x4.
That rear axle of choice was the East Coast Gear Supply semi-float Dana 60. What made the East Coast Gear Supply 60 stand out from the pack? For starters, it's fitted with all-new parts and made to bolt under the rear of a '97-'06 Jeep Wrangler TJ. No scrounging in a junkyard or custom machining needed on our part to make it work. The fact that we could opt for it in a custom width rear axle was also desirable, mostly so we could create the exact track width we wanted.
While the 9.75-inch Dana 60 ring gear isn't as large as the 10½-inch gear found in the junkyard heavyweight 14-bolt, it is more than enough to handle our tire and power needs. The fact that the Dana-sourced smooth-bottom 60 housing that East Coast Gear Supply uses has more clearance than the 14-bolt (and typical junkyard 60) also made it more suitable for running "smaller" tires, such as a 37. By now, I'm sure some of you are curious as to why we opted to go semi-float instead of full-float. The answer is simple. We don't need the load-carrying capacity of a full-float axle.
A semi-float rear axle creates a lighter package overall, and when using a large Set 20 axle bearing (commonly known as a big bearing end) it is more than capable of supporting our platform and then some. Aside from the fact that a full-float axle adds weight, a typical full-float Dana 60 rear found in a junkyard would likely only have 1.31-inch, 30-spline axleshafts, which wouldn't be a major upgrade over our outgoing Dana 44. Going with the custom semi-float 60 from East Coast Gear Supply provided us with extremely strong 1.50-inch, 35-spline chromoly 'shafts which are equal-length and extremely easy to source in the aftermarket.
To get even more detailed information on the East Coast Gear Supply Dana 60 rear axle, and place it under our Wrangler, we took a trip to the company's headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina. While there, we followed along as our new heavy-duty rear axle went from the builders table to the back end of our TJ. Be sure to check back next month as we finish out our Jeep Axle Wrangling series with a new front axle that has some clever tricks of its own.

Two posts in a day, how about that??!
A couple of weeks back, I was lucky enough to win a copy of Selina Lake's new book Homespun Style.
To say I was excited is a huge understatement! I already had my sight firmly set on it from seeing little snippets here and there before it was out (if you like flicking through the pages of bloggyland, you'll be sure to have come across it too). And this is someone who rarely gets excited about this kind of stuff, but you see I knew it would be right up my street. Boy, I wasn't disappointed when it arrived. There is something I like on every single page (and I'm a right fussy one).
If you like the homespun, vintage style this is real eye candy. (Photography by Debi Treloar, words by Joanna Simmons)
If you happen to be in London, Selina is hosting her Homespun book party & homespun market event on Friday 13th April, with many a lovely makers I'd very much like to meet. Definitely one not to miss! (although I may be :( )
You can find all the details of when, where & who on her Facebook event page (be sure to let her know if you come along), and get yourself a signed copy while you're at it :)

What is considered a larger family!?
I figured this has been discussed before but I couldn't find one sooo..
What do you consider a large family? I'm asking because I'm beginning to feel like a leper around here. Evidently 4 or more kids is suppose to be scary and I should be weeping in a corner. Gosh, if they knew we planned this child I'm sure they would be checking to see if I'm crazy.
We recently moved back home and all the women here at the family church and even family members we are seeing now again keep making the weirdest comments. I've gotten, "Oh dear, aren't you overwhelmed?" to "Wow I hope you have a mini van". What the heck???
To me, personally 4 kids is not a lot and we are not completely closed to the thought of this being our last. We are saying so for now because income wise I think 4 is a good line but dh is starting college again soon. When he is done he will be getting offered much higher paying entry jobs so maybe someday we will. I have no idea what to say to people and I'm a little sad feeling like people are pitying me and not excited with me. I usually laugh and say we are very happy, we aren't stressed or no I don't think this is too much. How do you deal? I'm sure here on the forums we are not considered a big family because I've noticed 4 seems average.

Its been discussed a bunch.
I think society sees more than 3 or 4 a lot of kids.
Me personally would be more than 10.
I think our family (9 total) is big but it just doesnt feel big to me or overwhelming etc. but people nearly drop dead when they hear we have 7 kids then continue on with the "dont you know what causes that!?" Questions. Lol

Re: What is considered a larger family!?
I agree. I think society thinks of 4 as a lot. We have 4 and one on the way and I hear all of those comments from people, too.
I have friends and a cousin who have 7 children each. I thought that was a lot, but I had all of my cousin's children over the other day and they were great. Dh's mom is one of 11 siblings and my mom is one of 9. Dh and I both have 3 siblings each, so on the "smaller" side compared to our moms' families. We LOVE having 4. I'm busy, but not overwhelmed and my kids all get lots of special attention. Can't wait for #5 to make his appearance.

Re: What is considered a larger family!?
I have 4 kids and don't feel like we are a large family at all. We get lots of comments about our families size. For me I think that more than 7 is a large family, but I wonder if people with that many feel like it is not large. I think maybe people get so use to their family size that they don't think it is large. Does that make sense?

Re: What is considered a larger family!?
i think that most of society considers anything over 2 kids (unless you needed the 3rd to get the other gender ) to be large. we have 4 children and i don't feel like it's that many. i get one of 2 reactions when we go out though...either the sweet little old lady who gushes over them and shares that she had at least 4 as well, or i get the 'you've got your hands full' type comments. oh wait...forgot to add the 3rd reaction i've been getting lately. my oldest is in school, so i try to run errands with just the other 3. i've gotten a lot of "oh, you finally got your girl". i giggle to myself at the look on their face when i add that my oldest is a girl and at school

Personally, I don't think a family is large until you outgrow a "traditional" vehicle, once you need a 10 passenger van you have safely crossed into the large family zone But I also think large families are awesome, so I smile every time I see one of those drive by!

Re: What is considered a larger family!?
I don't think 4 is all that large (says the mom of 4 and a step-kid she hasn't met yet). In my thought in order to be a large family it should be bigger than the average number the other families my kids spend time with have. I would say half of my friends from the last area we lived in had 4-6 kids, the other half almost all had 2. Therefor large would be, I don't know, maybe 8? That would be enough larger than the median to seem large.
Of course, back home in Mass I have a friend with two girls and is having twins. Of course, her large family is understandable because she didn't have a boy, and I think she recently announced she was having two boys. Since it's twins everyone seems to assume she never planned to have 4. It'll be interesting to see if she has any more! Yet most of my friends back there are just starting to have their first in their 30s. I can't help but think that's got something to do with the perspective too. I know a lot of women who would be put into high risk having babies because of their age so they deliberately choose to have small families. I got pregnant the first time at 21, so I've had a lot more time to grow my family without having to worry about age related health risks as much. In my family there are a lot of health problems after 35, so we're thinking of calling it quits in 3 years, but a lot can happen in that time! My friends? Many of them just think it's too risky.
I think as society starts to think about overpopulation, the perfect nuclear family, and the health risks associated with many families with women starting their families so late in life. It's different when you're starting earlier, but the later in life, the more challenges you're likely to face, or so the medical industry tells us. I'm not sure I always feel they're the most accurate source. Also, if you're a professional career woman taking time off of work, it's hard enough to take time off for one kid. When you start talking about a large family, it's just impractical to try and find the time for it and two parents working high-power careers. I guess I can see where people would find a family more than one, two, or MAYBE three being "large".

Re: What is considered a larger family!?
We have six with maybe #7 on the way (I did not know I was pregnant, got in an accident two weeks ago, had bleeding, in ER found out I was pregnant and maybe lossing it due to the accident.) With only 4 in the house and two off to school we get the "wows". When we add the older two during holidays we get the double "wows" or they think the youngest is our oldest daughter. However, when I (42 yrs old) am out with the 6 month old I get "Is this your first?" Then the "SIX!" bug eyes....

Internet giant Google has been facing increasing scrutiny from regulators in the United States — as well as in the European Union — for everything from its privacy practices to tweaking its search algorithms to favor its own vertical products and services at the expense of competitors. Now, Google has a strange ally in the form of one-time Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork, who has penned an op-ed for the Chicago Tribune arguing that, as big has Google may be, it's impossible for Google to behave anticompetitively in a marketplace where users can change their search engine in the span of a few clicks. If Google were harming consumers, Bork argues, consumers would go elsewhere in the blink of an eye, and Google would be just another minor footnote in Internet history.
Who is Robert Bork, and how can he make this sort of argument when Google for years has been resolutely insinuating itself into almost every aspect of Internet users' lives?
Robert who?
For the Internet generation, the name "Robert Bork" might conjure up YouTube clips featuring the Muppets' Swedish Chef or the term "borked," usually in reference to a feature or app that's broken because of a company's or developer's willful stupidity. (For example, "Apple's Ping social networking service in iTunes is borked.") But that's not where the term comes from: It comes from President Reagan's 1987 nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Bork's nomination was rigorously opposed by civil rights and women's rights groups, as well as leading progressive and liberal figures. Heck, opponents even got actor Gregory Peck — Atticus Finch himself — to do television ads opposing Bork's nomination. The term "borked" was originally used to describe opposing someone — usually a public figure — using denigration, malignment, and outright defamation. Bork and his supporters argued that virtually nothing opponents were saying about him was actually true, but the damage was done: Bork was not confirmed, and the process had a profound influence in the way Supreme Court nominees have been vetted (and confirmed) since.
An interesting aspect of Bork's confirmation process came when the judge's video rental history was leaked to the press. Although the rentals themselves were innocuous — popular movies and Hitchcock thrillers — writer Michael Dolan justified publishing the list on the grounds that Bork had argued that Americans only had rights to privacy afforded them by direct legislation. Since there was no law saying video rental records were private, Dolan published the list. The incident led directly to one of the first consumer privacy laws, 1988's Video Privacy Protection Act, signed into law by President Reagan. The VPAA would later be used to argue the Facebook Beacon advertising platform was a violation of consumer privacy rights, and more recently as a reason why Netflix hasn't integrated directly with Facebook.
A failed bid to the Supreme Court might be the end of many legal careers, but Bork kept going. He resigned his seat on the D.C. district Court of Appeals and worked for several years as a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and more recently at the Hudson Institute, both conservative think thanks. He also teaches, practices law, and writes books.
In those roles, Bork has excelled as an antitrust scholar: He helped advise Netscape in its antitrust efforts against Microsoft, and has championed the view that antitrust regulation should focus almost exclusively on consumer welfare — and where that idea used to be on the fringes of legal thinking, Bork has succeeded in making it mainstream. And that's why his endorsement of Google's practices carries some weight.
As Bork sees it…
Lawyers are known for being long-winded, but Borks' arguments in favor of Google are surprisingly succinct.
"No agency or critic has articulated a coherent theory of how Google harms consumers," Bork wrote in his op-ed. "The principal basis for the investigations appears to be that if one does not understand practices in an industry, the practices must violate the law."
Bork argues the value of Google's search business lies in how well it can match search results to what consumers actually want. This benefits Google in two dependent ways: It provides a highly relevant service to consumers for free, and enables advertisers to reach consumers who are most likely to be interested in particular products or services. Google charges advertising rates "based on the usefulness to consumers of the seller's website and penalizing sellers whose websites aren't consumer oriented."
According to Bork, there is nothing unfair about Google optimizing its search algorithms for consumer searches — in fact, competitors do exactly the same thing. Google is just getting scrutiny because it is more successful.
Where regulators seem to view Google as the 800-pound gorilla of Internet search, Bork sees a market rife with competition, both from general-purpose search engines like Bing and Yahoo as well as vertical markets, where specialized search services from the likes of Amazon, Kayak, and Expedia have succeeded right under Google's nose. Moreover, Bork argues that since search engines can't lock in users, consumers will immediately switch to another search engine if they don't like what they see. After all, in most cases, it just takes a few seconds to change a default search engine from Google to Bing or DuckDuckGo or Ask.com.
"There is no coherent case for monopolization because a search engine, like Google, is free to consumers and they can switch to an alternative search engine with a click," Bork writes.
Bork addresses regulatory concerns Google is promoting its own services (like shopping, flight results, maps, and local businesses) over competitors with two arguments. First, Bork notes that Google isn't exploiting a patent or monopoly in doing so, nor has it gained unfair market presence through a merger: Bork claims Google's listing of its own services in generic searches results from "business acumen:" Simply put, if competitors did a better job, Google would list them first. Google's services do a better job because Google has refined their services to better meet consumers' needs. If they didn't, consumers would go elsewhere.
Second — and perhaps more significantly — Bork frames Google's advertising business not in the context of Internet advertising, but in the context of all advertising, including television, radio, print, and other media, as well as vertical search sites. In that context, Bork argues, Google's market share is "trivial" — echoing claims made before Congress by Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt last September.
Notably, Bork's arguments in favor of Google focus solely on antitrust issues: Bork does not take on the consequences of Google's new unified privacy policy, nor does he attempt to address allegations of anticompetitive practices in the European Union, South Korea, or elsewhere. Bork's expertise is, after all, U.S. law.

Journalism recruitment agency listing
Journalism is a popular career choice, but that means competition is fierce for jobs with newspapers, magazines and online publishers.
Newspapers used to recruit school leavers as trainees, but that is now rare and the minimum qualification needed for an entry-level position is usually a degree. Journalism graduates who studied a course that allowed them to complete their NCTJ qualification will have an advantage when applying for trainee reporter roles, but employers will also consider people with English or media studies degrees.
Most journalists begin their career as a trainee with a local newspaper, magazine publisher, news agency or website. Jobs at this level are almost always advertised direct, rather than through recruitment agencies, and pay between £13,000 and £18,000 a year, depending on location and the size of the publication.
Once they have completed their training, staff can choose to focus on news, sport, business, features or production. Good mainstream reporters and feature writers with bulging contact books will always have employment opportunities. Rival publications will be keen to hire them and much of the recruitment is done on a recommendation basis.
However, publications that need staff with specialist knowledge, such as trade journals, tend to use editorial recruitment agencies to find the right people. Similarly, many production journalism jobs, including vacancies for sub-editors, page designers and section editors, and senior managerial positions are filled by agencies.
Salaries for permanent positions within the industry vary from £20,000 for a reporter's role on a local newspaper to six-figure packages for editors of national newspapers and high-circulation magazines. Many experienced journalists prefer to operate on a freelance basis, with their earnings dictated by how much work they can sell.

The Brazilian Army steps towards SDI interoperability through OGC standards
The Brazilian Army Geographic Service (DSG) has been dealing with geospatial interoperability issues for years. Brazil is the world's fifth largest country in area, with more than 8 million km². Its large size presents numerous challenges related to mapping and map maintenance. The existing geospatial data were produced by public and private companies, with distinct standards and procedures, in different periods. The integration of these data is the major challenge for the Brazilian Spatial Data Infrastructure (INDE), and the OGC

Ok, this is just to kick off discussion, since this thread might languish otherwise, for the lack of ideas floating around.
I've got two plot bunnies running in my head right now, both revolving around possible crossovers.
The first is a more serious consideration, but one probably quite fit for Kirito, considering that he's one of the most competent LN protagonist out there. It's a Muv Luv crossover, which I will put in spoiler tags, for those who haven't yet spoiled themselves of Muv Luv.
Spoiler for Spoilers for Muv Luv:
This happens some years after ALO - perhaps around the time where Acclitization would have happened instead. I wonder how much more different the Muv Luv plot would be if Kirito and Asuna were the main couples.
The second crossover idea is a potentially more disturbing one, also set at the same time.
A Lolipop Chainsaw Crossover.
Asuna wakes up in Julia Scarlet's body, in a VR Version of the Lollipop Chainsaw game. Kirito wakes up in Nick's body. Can Kirito avoid Zombification? How would both of them react to Sensei? If Kirito is zombified, what if the game hijacks Asuna's body, and forces her avatar to behead Kirito and put him in the same position as Nick was for the entire game? What would both of them think of the entire game?
This is partly inspired by the costumes add ons for Lollipop Chainsaw, where avatars from other animes like Kore Wa Zombie or High School of the Dead replaced the default avatar.
Edit: My bad about mixing the names up. One error seemed to have led to a huge chain of errors.

I created this account for the very purpose of showing off my fan fiction. But I love SAO so I might as well stick around.
My story can be found HERE
Alternatively if you don't want to use a link and want another method of reaching the story, simply:
- google search 'sword art online fan fiction'
- enter fan fiction site
- select story called 'Excalibur' by 'Nanospeed'
A brief sample of the story:
Sword Art Online.
It was the first virtual reality game to be created. Technology has made it possible to fully immerse a person's consciousness in a brand new world. Its realism has reached the point where players are unable to tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
A fantasy where a castle floated in an endless sky. Its size was immeasurable, the first floor alone rivalled the size of a country with many cities, forests, lakes and mountains. It was just one realm of the one hundred in existence. It was a place where wielding mystical weapons, performing athletic feats beyond human limits and fighting legendary monsters were only some of the things a player can do. In fact, everything that was possible in the real world was also possible in this one.
Thanks for checking it out!
Please support my fan fiction by sharing with your friends and possibly leaving a review (on the fan fiction site).
Edit: New chapter coming out in a few hours from now.

I was just thinking how A Raildex/SAO/AW crossover could work.
They could make it to that the NeverGear and the HUD they all carry around were both developed in Academy City (future tech and all that), then released it to the wider world. It's pretty much as easy as that. Also, the Espers could use their abilities in game through either interference in the games design from the outside or the fact that their abilities are calculated in their brains in the first place.

It's a pity the timelines don't quite merge, because a crossover between SAO and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is just begging to be made.
"Togusa. Why does Kayaba sound like you?"
"...Major, I honestly have no idea."
"Major, there's no way Togusa coulda pulled any of this off. He isn't a Wizard-class hacker like you, afterall."
"Thanks a lot, Ishikawa."
That said, the verses are just completely explicitly different - cyberbrains were already in wide usage in the early 2020s in GitS, and the world of SAO is very close to ours, so it's a fun idea, but one that can't really progress further.

This app is brilliant fanfic fuel for crossovers
I've fed a variety of names from various animes to see how they'd fare, as inspiration for a crossover.
Now, some are nonsensical, such as
Especially after:
There's a potential rich gold mine of crossover inspiration here.
P.s: Here's to hoping this thread takes off. Part of the reason why the Nanoha fanfic thread is so popular is because alot of fanfics are put up there, sometimes even before being put up on FF.net.

To put things into perspective, i wrote a short and posted it into FFT where Fate killed Nanoha, and was in the process of skinning her to wear her skin and be with her forever. The most common reaction was that i had written a touching loving story.
That said there are SOME diamonds in the rough. Just that they're hard to find.

Though I'm wondering how such a plot would go. Perhaps Yui joins Kirito's harem? Though of course, Asuna is the lead girl. In-fact, Asuna might have rescued Yui after Yui's suicidal funk, which might make for an interesting dynamics. Indeed, perhaps Yui and Kirito's relationship remains very platonic, connected through Asuna.
Even then, this fic could well extend way beyond the Aincrad arc. An Ui like, mature and reliable character who has a childishly silly side in private, that one have to dig out hard.
The zeroeth phase is the loyalty and strength of relationships between siblings, and how Ui keeps things together for both of them in the aftermath of being trapped in Aincrad. After the initial shock, comes the lull, and both of them replicate their roles back in the real world in Aincrad. The interesting thing, I think is that K-on never forced Yui to make difficult decisions, or to start questioning herself. We've not seen Yui in a life or death situation, so I wonder whether being put in one on a daily basis would affect Yui's airheadedness, if Ui was around to shelter her.
I think Ui would go very far to keep up Yui's ditzy, reliant nature, unfortunately. However, that might be tricky to pull off. Still, I'd expect there'd be gradual shifts, though Yui's internal monologues might be quite hard to explore, since K-on doesn't give too much insight into why Yui is such an airhead (beyond Moe Fanservice). One way of course, is to skip towards the end of the nine months, but show traces that Yui does comprehend, a little about how serious the situation is.
The first phase then will be deconstruction on why being a Ditzy Airhead in Aincrad is a bad idea, and how it eventually get's her sister killed.
The second phase is that of grief and coping, where Yui adopts her sister's mannerisms while privately wrestling with her guilt.
The third phase is reconstruction, where after Aincrad, Yui finds a means of reconcilliating between her old, silly self, and the Ui-like persona she constructed to cope with the loss of her sister.

Ahem. A little off-topic.
But the interesting thing about SAO is the kinds of character development one can squeeze from a character when you put him or her in the death game scenario of SAO. I'd say the strongest crossovers would be the ones that take, say a fairly immature (but not stupid) character from a Slice of Life or lighter genre, and make him or her survive the death game.

Another interesting plot bunny came to me.
What if Asuna's Brother instead was the one trapped in the world of Sword Art Online?
And what if Kirito was a rare female gamer instead, with Kazuto's personality and intellect and reflexes, but genderbent?

A male version of Asuna, so he'd be a white knight of sorts..
What if he was a silver knight instead? *nudge nudge*

The problem is, Asuna's brother might not suicidal - so Aria plays out differently. Furthermore, I suspect Kiriko may adopt a male avatar at the beginning- so that opening scene with Klein might be very interesting- since, well, Kiriko's a girl, in a girl starved prison full of men.
I wonder, will Kiriko solo? Or perhaps Asuna's brother insists he tags along with Kiriko after Aria- perhaps after Kiriko successfully saved his life thrice in a single day, or perhaps both save each others life once each during Aria. Once when Kiriko got mauled by the boss, and Asuna's brother rallied everyone. Once in the dungeon, when Asuna's brother accidentally pulled too many mobs to handle, and Kiriko bailed him out.
Also, I'm thinking of how to work the KoB in.
Still, there's some disturbing... implications of underaged relationships,

A's overtake Rays for lead in Wild Card race
OAKLAND -- Kurt Suzuki had seen it on TV but had never experienced the moment for himself.

OAKLAND -- Kurt Suzuki had seen it on TV but had never experienced the moment for himself.
The origination of the A's home run tunnel -- a team-wide, London bridge-style celebration commissioned after an Oakland hitter goes yard -- came after Suzuki was sent to the Nationals last August.View Full Game Coverage
Having rejoined the A's after a trade that brought him back to Oakland last week, he was finally eligible to partake in the fun for himself, and on Friday night against the Rays, his wish finally came true.
Suzuki's three-run home run in the fifth inning, combined with Jed Lowrie's go-ahead RBI double in the eighth inning, led to a 4-3 series-opening win for the A's at O.co Coliseum.
And the home run -- Suzuki's first for the A's in 405 days -- helped pull his new team within two games of the Rangers in the American League West and gain sole possession of the first Wild Card spot over Tampa Bay by a half-game.
"I think it's pretty neat," said Suzuki, who spent his first six big league seasons with the A's before he was dealt midseason last year. "They have fun here. These guys, shoot, we got guys making $120 million, but we have fun here and they play their heart out, and that's what makes it so special."
Suzuki figures to fit in with those types of shenanigans as seamlessly as he does behind the plate. Baseball aside, the backstop represents another positive cog in an already upbeat clubhouse considered to be one of the loosest in baseball.
Jarrod Parker credited Suzuki's ability to provide levity during visits to the mound Friday, particularly during a second-inning scuffle that lasted 30 pitches and led to the game's first run.
"He makes you laugh and smile, and that's kind of what I needed today," Parker said. "Going out there, I was probably not in the best of moods and all that kind of stuff today. You go out there and it's like your release.
"I had a blast just going out there and pitching. It's one of those things where you can channel all of that stuff and take it out there and just forget about it."
Parker contended that his disposition was solely because of the grind of pitching the day after an East Coast-West Coast trip late in a grueling season. Still, he lasted into the eighth inning and ended up allowing three earned runs off six hits and three walks, with only three of his innings coming in 1-2-3 fashion.
Even more impressive, Parker improved his unbeaten streak to 17 games, tying the franchise record previously set by Catfish Hunter in 1973.
"Who? The guy with the number up in the rafters?" A's manager Bob Melvin deadpanned after the game. "It's pretty impressive. … Those are all things you kind of reflect on a little bit later. When you're doing your thing, all you're thinking about is your next outing and how you're going to prepare for it."
The A's had managed just two baserunners against Rays starter David Price before Alberto Callaspo reached second base on an error by Ben Zobrist to lead off the fifth -- the first error committed by the second baseman in a team-record 81 games.
Chris Young worked a walk in the following at-bat before Suzuki cleared the bases with his home run.
"It was my error, no question," Zobrist said. "I don't think he walks Chris Young unless the error is made. He was cruising up to that point. I threw it too hard and too high, and it got away from me."
Parker entered the eighth having thrown 100 pitches but allowed the first two batters to reach base. He was pulled for Ryan Cook, who gave up a bloop single to load the bases, a sacrifice fly to left field and then the tying run after a 10-pitch at-bat against James Loney, who hit a double just out of reach of Young's diving attempt in center field.
But instead of losing their second straight game in late-game fashion after failing to close out the sweep on Thursday against Detroit, the A's persevered and retook the lead with Lowrie's double, which extended his career-best hitting streak to 12 games and gave him 13 doubles this month for an A's record in August.
"You look at that last game and it's easy to say, well we should have won," Lowrie said. "But it was still a great series, a great road trip with a little hiccup at the end. Obviously by the results tonight, we didn't dwell on it."

Seems like every show there is someone new to pick on!
Anyway...Generico and PAC was AWESOME. Saw PAC after the show because like an idiot I locked my keys in the trunk of my car. LOL, he was pretty tore up from both nights...but he said he had a great time. I hope to see him back.
Genericos new gear on night one was fabulous! But on night two with the whole Quicksilver unmasking, did anyone else think that Joey was going to lose and then pull that whole "He wasn't wearing a quicksilver mask...so I get to keep my title"???
Maybe Patrick ISN'T the manliest ref...but he did catch the switcharoo attempt!

6 Americans, Doctor Killed In Afghan Attacks
A young female diplomat is among the six Americans who died in a pair of militant attacks in Afghanistan on Saturday.
An Afghan doctor was also killed. It was the deadliest day for the United States in the war in eight months.
Officials and the State Department say the three U.S. service members, two U.S. civilians and the doctor were killed when the group was struck by an explosion while traveling to donate books to students in a school in the south.
Secretary of State John Kerry says the Americans included a department of defense civilian and the foreign service officer.
Kerry says the diplomat "tragically gave her young life working to give young Afghans the opportunity to have a better future." He goes on to say "We also honor the U.S. troops and Department of Defense civilian who lost their lives, and the Afghan civilians who were killed."
The U.S. military says another American civilian was killed in a separate insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan.

ARC Linkage Project: Connecting younger second language learners and older bilinguals. Intergenerational, intercultural encounters and second language development.
Intergenerational, intercultural encounters and second language development
Project description
The project brings together upper secondary school learners of Chinese, German and Spanish with older speakers of the language, promoting mutually beneficial inter-cultural, intergenerational encounters.
Such encounters enhance second language acquisition outcomes for the young language learners. For the older participants these encounters provide opportunities for greater social engagement, resulting in an enhanced sense of empowerment, wellbeing and self-esteem.
Project Description in Chinese, German, Spanish
Project aims
1. To give younger Australians learning a second language and older bilingual people whose first language the students are learning, the opportunity to meet and converse in the language.
2. To assess the effects of such encounters on the students' second language proficiency, conversation management skills, language attitudes, intercultural knowledge and attitudes to ageing.
3. To assess the effects on the wellbeing and self-esteem, empowerment and feeling of belonging of older bilingual Australians.
Benefits for young language learners
The utilization of community resources in structured second language learning environments such as the school or university classroom has the obvious advantage of providing students with additional practice scenarios, increasing exposure time to the language. As a result the interaction with native speakers and recreation acquisition settings complement the more formal learning environment. The student participants also develop and experience a heightened sense of learner autonomy.
Benefits for seniors
Inter-generational interaction is considered by gerontologists to be essential for 'healthy ageing'. The opportunity to pass on one's linguistic and cultural expertise provides an enhanced 'active ageing' experience, to use a popular term often applied by Local and State Government service delivery providers.
Benefits for teachers and schools
A KIT has been developed for teachers to assist in the planning and implementation of an 'Intergenerational and Intercultural Language Encounters Project' for students. A detailed study VCE component has been designed based on the project by teachers from the three different languages across different educational sectors. It is a template that can be used for all languages.
Download the KIT and the Detailed Study template here
Benefits for communities
The project 'Connecting younger second language learners and older bilinguals' creates an environment where the interests of different generations intersect, each enhancing the other's experience of self, identity and agency. This research project also assists in shaping future attitudes and interactions across our shared language and culture.
Please find detailed information about our research activities on our research website.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Groupon Inc. shares tumbled Wednesday evening after the daily-deals site warned that quarterly revenue will likely miss Wall Street's expectations, and disappointing quarterly results from J.C. Penney Co.'s also sent the retailer's shares sharply lower.
Groupon shares GRPN, +1.61% fell 25% to $4.47, at one point trading as much as 29% lower, after the company forecast first-quarter revenue of $560 million to $610 million. The estimate was well below the $646.8 million in sales analysts polled by FactSet had anticipated on average.
For the fourth quarter, investors had expected Groupon to swing to a profit, but the company lost $81.1 million, or 12 cents a share, on revenue of $638.3 million.
A year ago, it lost $65.4 million, or 12 cents a share, on $492 million in sales.
Groupon said its results included a loss of 7 cents a share related to a nonoperational item. Analysts had been looking for earnings of 3 cents a share on revenue of $639.8 million. See: Groupon posts unexpected quarterly loss.
Shares of J.C. Penney JCP, -2.22% slumped 14% to $18.22, as the department store operator's fourth-quarter loss widened and sales fell short of expectations.
The company lost $552 million, or $2.51 a share, compared with a loss of $87 million, or 41 cents a share, a year ago. On an adjusted basis, it lost $1.95 a share.
Sales at J.C. Penney fell 28% to $3.88 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for a loss of 18 cents a share on sales of $4.09 billion.
Also, comparable-store sales fell 32%, missing the estimate for a 28% drop. See: J.C. Penney's loss widens as sales, margins weaken.
During the regular session, U.S. stocks surged following another upbeat reading on the housing market. See: U.S. stock rally builds on home-sales data.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.38% jumped 175 points, or 1.3%, to 14,075.37 and the S&P 500 index SPX, +1.32% rose 1.3% to 1,515.99. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +1.03% leapt 1% to 3,162.26.
