Quote from: MysticMoon on February 21, 2014, 08:32:40 PMBut only the ones that don't take a bunch of hair with them when taken outEh, you lose a few hairs here and there just running your hands through your hair. Losing a few to a hairtie isn't all that much price to pay for not dying of heat-exhaustion. That said, mine only take hair when I'm lazy.
But only the ones that don't take a bunch of hair with them when taken out
Where the hell is my "Like" button?!
d**n, that sucks. I've nearly been hit a couple of times by cars that suddenly turned right without warning. If it'd been raining those times... well, it wouldn't have gone well for me. It's amazing how quickly one can turn when that adrenaline hits...As someone who regularly commutes to work by bike (but never in the rain, unless it catches me unawares) I've noticed that most motorists are courteous and pay attention to some degree. The remainder are dangerous because they're either completely oblivious to their surroundings or total *******s.
When your hair is close to 3' long... a couple strands can look like a cat went missing

(2) to an agency designated by the Secretary of the Treasury to handle applications for United States savings bonds, to purchase bonds for the seaman; and
(3) for deposits to be made in an account for savings or investment opened by the seaman and maintained in the seaman's name at a savings bank or a savings institution in which the accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.
(b) An allotment is valid only if made in writing and signed by and approved by a shipping commissioner. The shipping commissioner shall examine allotments and the parties to them to enforce compliance with the law. Stipulations for allotments made at the beginning of a voyage shall be included in the agreement and shall state the amounts and times of payment and the person to whom payments are to be made.

An owner, charterer, managing operator, agent, or master of a foreign vessel violating this section is liable to the Government for the same penalty as an owner, charterer, managing operator, agent, or master of a vessel of the United States for the same violation.
(f) Deposits in Seaman Account.— By written request signed by the seaman, a seaman employed on a passenger vessel capable of carrying more than 500 passengers may authorize the master, owner, or operator of the vessel, or the employer of the seaman, to make deposits of wages of the seaman into a checking, savings, investment, or retirement account, or other account to secure a payroll or debit card for the seaman if—
(1) the wages designated by the seaman for such deposit are deposited in a United States or international financial institution designated by the seaman;
(2) such deposits in the financial institution are fully guaranteed under commonly accepted international standards by the government of the country in which the financial institution is licensed;
(3) a written wage statement or pay stub, including an accounting of any direct deposit, is delivered to the seaman no less often than monthly; and

Registration and housing for the National School Boards Association's (NSBA) 73rd Annual Conference, to be held April 13 to 15 in San Diego, is now open. Join more than 5,000 school board members and administrators for an event with hundreds of sessions, workshops, and exhibits that will help your school district programs and help you hone your leadership and management skills.
General Session speakers include Academy Award winning speaker Geena Davis, who will be speaking about her work off-screen as founder of the non-profit Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. Davis works with film and television creators to reduce gender stereotyping and increase the number of female characters in media targeted for children 11 and under. She will explain how media plays a key role in children's development, and how her organization is making a difference.
Television star Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of the world's most engaging and passionate science advocates, will headline Sunday's General Session. From PBS to NASA to Presidential Commissions, organizations have depended on Tyson's down-to-earth approach to astrophysics. He has been a frequent guest on "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report", R"eal Time with Bill Maher", and "Jeopardy!". Tyson hopes to reach "all the people who never knew how much they'd love learning about space and science."
Monday's General Session features acclaimed researcher and author Diane Ravitch, who has become one of the most passionate voices for public schools. Her most recent book, The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education, makes the case that public education today is in peril and offers a clear prescription for improving public schools.

A diatom is an organism that is a member of the phylum of algae called Bacillariophyta. There are about 60,000 species of these algae presently known. Experts estimate that there are more likely 600,000 to 6,000,000 species in total!
Diatoms are single-celled (unicellular) organisms that live as individuals or in groups called colonies. They exist in all the waters of the Earth, both salt and fresh. They form shells made out of silica (the mineral name of this silica is opal) which they extract from the water. Their microscopic shells are very intricate and beautiful and have rightly been called "the jewels of the sea." Diatoms are very abundant and provide food for many aquatic animals.
When diatoms die, their silica shells accumulate on the floor of the body of water in which they lived. Thick layers of these diatom shells have been fossilized (that is, preserved) in the rock record. Such layers, or beds, of diatoms are called diatomaceous earth, or diatomite. Diatomaceous earth is white to cream color. It is very porous which makes it useful in a number of filtering applications.
The name diatom comes from a Greek word diatomos that means cut in half, because the shells of diatoms have two overlapping, symmetrical halves.
In the United States, large deposits of diatomite are found in California, Nevada, Washington and Oregon. Of these states, California and Nevada produce the largest amount of diatomite. Significant producers of diatomite worldwide include France, China, Denmark, Russia, and Algeria. Diatomite resources worldwide will meet demand for the foreseeable future. However, new deposits that can be economically mined need to be identified.
The United States produces much of its own diatomite material. Still, some is imported from France, Mexico, and other nations.
Because of its porosity, diatomite has been used extensively as a filter for a variety of purposes. It is used to filter impurities out of everything from beer and wine to oils and greases. Similarly, diatomite is used to filter impurities from water to produce drinkable (potable) water in public water systems. In this situation, the diatomite removes bacteria and protozoa.
The oldest use of diatomite is as a very mild abrasive and for this purpose has been used in toothpaste and metal polishes.
It is also used in paper, paint, brick, tile, ceramics, plastics, soaps, detergents and other products as a filler. A filler is a substance that increases the volume of a product and/or fills in space.
Diatomite has also found value as an insulating material in high-temperature mechanisms like furnaces and boilers. It has also proven effective as a sound insulator.
Substitutes and Alternative Sources
Diatomite is easily replaced by other materials for most of its applications. For example, silica sand and an expanded form of the material perlite can be used in filtration applications. Talc, ground lime, ground mica, and clay can be used as filler material. Despite these many options, its ready availability, abundance and low cost will guarantee its use for many decades to come.

Department history
In 1931, nearly half a century after Librarian Henry Hill Goodell first authorized the permanent retention of the official records of Massachusetts Agricultural College, the Library established a College History Collection. As the official record of the activities of the university's administrators and faculty and a reflection of the life of its students, this collection grew steadily, until in 1953, the Library dedicated a room named in honor of Dean William L. Machmer to serve as the first true home of the University Archives.
Goodell's initiative to assemble the College archives coincided roughly with the Library's first efforts to build a collection of rare books to support its educational mission. Although the College had no separate library until 1885, its administrators nevertheless accepted several significant gifts of books, beginning with the 1868 donation of twenty scarce volumes on bee culture from the apiculturist and state Adjutant General Henry K. Oliver. By the time the library published its first catalog in 1875, rare books formed a small, but notable part of the collections, focused on the primary academic interests of the early college: agriculture, horticulture and botany, and the natural sciences. Among the Library's earliest acquisitions were the first London edition of William Bartram's Travels Through North and South Carolina (1792), François Augier de Marigny's The History of the Arabians (London, 1758), and early bee manuals by John Keys, The Practical Bee-Master (London, 1780) and The Antient Bee-Master's Farewell (London, 1796) — both courtesy of Oliver. All remain part of the collections today.
From these beginnings, the collections of rare books and manuscripts have evolved in concert with the evolution of the university and its academic programs. With the acquisition of the records of the Valley Peace Center and the papers of ethnographer Jozef Obrebski in 1973, the Library began to acquire collections of personal papers and organizational records of historical significance, and the arrival of the papers on W.E.B. Du Bois in that same year marked a turning point. The rare book and manuscript collections were combined administratively with the University Archives in the early 1990s to form the current Department of Special Collections and University Archives.
SCUA's initial foray online came with a simple page on the library's website in 1997, but by 2007, evolved into the UMarmot project, one of the earliest efforts to use freely-available software to create a comprehensive online archival catalog. SCUA launched its online digital repository, Credo in 2011, thanks to generous support from the Verizon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Historic Publications and Records Commission. The papers of W.E.B. Du Bois led SCUA's way into the digital realm, followed by the papers of Horace Mann Bond, and then dozens of of other collections.
Montague (Mass.) Nuclear Power Station
Part of: Famous Long Ago Archive
Montague Nuclear Power Station Environmental Report, 1975.
Call no.: MS 061
Planning for construction of a nuclear power plant in Montague, Mass., in 1973, Northeast Utilities was required to conduct an environmental impact survey of the site, building a 500-foot tall weather monitoring tower to gather data. Their plans, however, were thwarted by the rise of a powerful antinuclear opposition, symbolized by a renowned act of civil disobedience in February 1974. On Washington's Birthday, a member of the Montague Farm commune, Sam Lovejoy, took down the tower using simple farm tools, turning himself in to the police immediately afterward. The ensuing trial, the effective organizing by his colleagues, and the success of their effort to prevent construction of the power plant is often regarded as a formative moment in the history of the modern antinuclear movement.
This environmental report for the proposed Montague Nuclear Power Station includes an accounting of the purpose of the facility, its environmental, archaeological, and social impact, and an analysis of the costs and benefits of operation.

Prescott (Mass.)
Prescott (Mass.) Collection, 1822-1952.
Call no.: MS 021
Rural and sparsely populated, Prescott, Massachusetts, was founded in 1822 along the ridge separating the West and Middle branches of the Swift River. Its three villages (North Prescott, Atkinson Hollow, and Prescott Hill) never amounted to more than a few houses each, and the town's total population never exceeded 500. Prescott became the first of four towns to vacate after the Swift River Valley was ordered cleared and dammed to create the Quabbin Reservoir, ceding its administration to the state in 1928 before formally disincorporating in 1938.
The records of Prescott, Mass., document the history of the smallest of the four towns inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Held by the Swift River Valley Historical Society, the materials in this collection consist of records of town meetings and of the activities of the town Selectmen, 1822-1938, as well as sparser records of the School Committee, the Treasurer, and Overseers of the Poor.

Watchmaker (Springfield, Mass.)
Watchmaker's Account Book, 1882-1883.
Call no.: MS 623 bd
The mid-century success of the Waltham Watch Company set the stage for a period of innovation and corporate ferment in the manufacture and distribution of watches in the United States. As watchmakers and technologies spread and new companies sprouted and split at a rapid pace, Springfield emerged as a center for the production of high quality, mass produced watches. Perhaps best known among the large local corporations, the Hampden Watch Company was established in 1877 from the New York Watch Company and was bought out in turn by the Dueber Watch Company and relocated a decade later.
The unidentified owner of this slender account book maintained itemized records of income and expenses for a relatively small watchmaking concern in Springfield between May 1882 and September 1883. Most of the trade consisted of sales of accoutrements and repair work.

Westhampton (Mass. : Town)
Westhampton Town Records, 1779-1900.
Call no.: MS 799
Originally settled by Europeans in 1762, the town of Westhampton, Massachusetts, was separated from adjacent Northampton and incorporated in September 1778. Situated in the western reaches of Hampshire County, it was principally an agricultural town until the later twentieth century, producing apples, other fruit, and maple sugar, with only minor industry. The town still retains its rural character: a century after incorporation, the population had grown to just over 500, and nearly 1,500 by 2000.
The Westhampton collection provides an extensive record of public life and local governance in a typical small Hampshire County town. Spanning from 1779, just after the date of incorporation, through the turn of the twentieth century, the collection includes extensive records of town meetings, including warrants, agendas, and summaries; records of the Overseers of Poor, the schools, militia service, and parish; materials on roads and highways; and a large quantity of financial records.

NGC 2403 can be found from different starting points. Here follows my approach for low power instruments: draw an imaginary line from Capella to Polaris. Both stars are roughly 45° apart. Then find the midpoint of that line. From that point, draw a line (the bisector) perpendicular to the first line, for about 15° in the direction of the Bear's nose (Omicron Ursae Majoris) until you run into NGC 2403.
The low power view (at x17) reminds me of the glow of a partially resolved open cluster. Two 10th mag foreground stars lie embedded in the halo of the galaxy, one on each side of the diffuse core. The stars only show up with averted vision. At x62, the galaxy appears elongated in a SSW to ENE direction. Another 11th mag foreground star appears just a few minutes away from the core of the galaxy. The three embedded stars, albeit not particular bright, interfere with the subtle glow of the distant galaxy, as if the galaxy tries to hide its appearance behind the foreground stars.

Donald Trump out of Indy pace car
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Donald is giving up one race, perhaps so he can focus on another.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump said Thursday he will not be the celebrity pace-car driver for the Indianapolis 500 on May 29, pulling out because it would be "inappropriate" given that "he may be announcing shortly his intention" to run for president.
Trump, whose replacement driver could be four-time Indy winner A.J. Foyt, also said his busy schedule would make it impossible to fulfill the required ...

Yesterday, December 7, at the New ED Network meeting attendees discussed tools and practices they use to de-stress, organize, prioritize, and juggle demands as they go through their busy days. Especially at this time of year, activities and year-end demands within organizations actively compete with community and family activities and responsibilities. Days can seem overwhelming at times.
Everyone left with several more tools in their tool bags -- suggestions that can help any time of year!
Hope you find a few ideas that will help you ease stress, stay focused, and do your best work. Let us know your tools and tips and we'll add them to the list.

The solution is to move deliberately to end such policies and the accumulation of federal bureaucratic programs, controls and taxes on Americans.

You can scroll down for a few pictures of the final product. I've photographed it as a bookshelf, but as mentioned, we're going to be giving it to our girls for Christmas along with some darling little furniture
so they can use it as a dollhouse. Either way it is cute, cute, cute and our painting mishap aside, it was a relatively straight forward project that can be put together in a week or less. With the repainting on our dollhouse it took us 1 week + 1 day to finish. Total cost {minus the extra paint we had to buy} was the cost of the bookshelf + $50.00 in supplies {spray paint, primer, scallop edging, wainscot panelling} not including things we already had on hand {MDF scraps, wood filler, wood glue, nails/screws, sand paper}.

However if 2 files are just being played in folart they do deserve to be nerfed because not enough diversity.
Also peral i never said game isnt about winning i said there are more diverse players and everyone should be benifited accordingly.
Of course new players will lose. That's sort of what happens when A) you don't know metas B) you don't have all the cards C) your fundamentals aren't all that strong.
This game isn't meant just for meta players, but balance must be decided at the top level when players don't make glaring errors and have meta-grade files. As for 2 files played in folrart, you're closer to the truth than you imagine. Think about it--how many metas used to be played but no longer are? And how many metas are now viable in Folrart? The first number is bigger than the second. In many of those, the errata team hamstrung the existing meta. AKA the game didn't naturally evolve.

- Probing Majorana fermions in spin-orbit-coupled atomic Fermi gases
- Author(s)
- Liu, Xia-Ji; Jiang, Lei; Pu, Han; Hu, Hui
- Abstract
- We examine theoretically the visualization of Majorana fermions in a two-dimensional trapped ultracold atomic Fermi gas with spin-orbit coupling. By increasing an external Zeeman field, the trapped gas transits from a nontopological to a topological superfluid, via a mixed phase in which both types of superfluids coexist. We show that the zero-energy Majorana fermion, supported by the topological superfluid and localized at the vortex core, may be visible through (i) the core density and (ii) the local density of states, which are readily measurable in experiment. We present a realistic estimate on experimental parameters for ultracold 40K atoms.

Viewing 1 to 6 (6 Total)RAILBRICKS Organized Container Swap
Elroy Davis
Total Posts: 29
It's been many years since train clubs around the world have done a shipping container swap. Would folks be interested in RAILBRICKS facilitating a new container swap between clubs, events, and individuals?
For those unfamiliar with container swaps, 10 to 13 years ago (from a quick browse of LUGNET), the train community came up with the idea of a standard-sized "shipping container" that could be customized to represent different clubs. At conventions, clubs would trade containers with each other, adding some interaction between groups and adding a bit of color as groups displayed their container collections on their layouts.
As an example, here are some containers on display at the 2009 NMRA convention:
Traditionally containers have been 4 x 8 studs:
If groups or individuals are interested in a new swap, please reply below. Also, if we went ahead with a container swap, should we continue with the traditional size containers that many clubs still have, or should we come up with an updated standard?

re: RAILBRICKS Organized Container Swap
Great idea Elroy! I would be willing to take part through MichLUG/LTC. <p> I think for standards, we may want to move to the size from the recent Maersk set. they're closer to actual scale, and allow far quite a bit more detail </p>

re: RAILBRICKS Organized Container Swap
just a crazy thought...
but what if there were two categories for a swap, lugs and individual AFOLs
and agreed with Redner on the size update

re: RAILBRICKS Organized Container Swap
Looking at the RAILBRICKS Facebook page, we have a few clubs/events that have expressed interest in a container swap.
- MichLUG/LTC
- BrickFete
- Ontario Brick Builders
- BayLTC
- ArkLUG
Several individuals have also expressed an interest. Opinions on the size of the containers are pretty evenly split.
If we can drum up some more interest, I think we can organize something.

I have just found this thread - I have a number of SLTC (Sydney L-Gauge Train Club) containers (in the 'old' size) that I'd be happy to use in a container swap. If need be, I can build more containers in either the 'old' size or the 'new' 'Maersk-train' size.

It was one of those jobs a lot of musicians hate to play.
It was a reception in one of those big glass-walled atrium-type places. We heard every note we played bounce around four or five times. Everybody was concerned about seeing and being seen...concerned about anything but the music. They had food in one hand and a drink in the other, so applause was out of the question.
But there was something different about this job. These folks had a receiving line, almost like a wedding reception. And who was in the line but my sports hero, Harmon Killebrew. "Wow," I thought, "I'm old enough to play at a reception where he's the guest of honor." But thoughts of age soon gave way to happiness at just being in the same room with him and doing my thing while he did his. Now, what exactly is Harmon doing?
When I found out, I was incensed. I surmised he had been used to lure people to the party, with guests promised a Polaroid snapshot of themselves with Harmon if they would grace the place with their presence.
Why was I upset? He seemed perfectly happy. The hosts seemed perfectly happy. The guests seemed perfectly happy. And I had a job to do. But I was upset. How could they do this to my hero? He deserves better.
Maybe I was upset because Harmon Killebrew wasn't always my hero. He earned the job over a number of years.
When I was a kid, everybody wanted to be Harmon Killebrew. Everybody wanted number three on their uniforms. Well I didn't want to be like everybody. So I wanted to be Bob Allison, especially the year he stole so many bases. Or Lenny Green, because, as my dad pointed out from the center field bleachers at Metropolitan Stadium one evening in August of 1961, he's left-handed, just like me. Don't get me wrong. I liked Harmon, but I didn't identify with Harmon.
I had an "in" with the Twins in those days. A family friend who worked in the front office had a vision problem, and made us a standing offer: If my mom or dad would drive him home after the game, he would get us tickets and we could hang around the stadium after the game, and maybe meet some of the players.
So we'd hang around the gate after the game, along with other kids, and sure enough, players would come out. Sometimes it was hard to recognize them in street clothes and without hats. But one kid in the crowd would shout out the player's name, and kids would go after him.
Many times, from many players, we heard, "No autographs," as they pushed through the crowd to leave the stadium. We never heard that from Harmon Killebrew. He always stopped. The closest thing I ever heard to a complaint was when a particularly large group was clamoring for autographs. "Oh my goodness," he said with a big smile. "Look at all these kids."
Each kid got an autograph. All the kids were asked their names and what positions they played. Each kid was shown first hand that Harmon Killebrew really cared.
I remembered those things as the years went by. I remembered reading in the paper about a seriously ill boy in New York who worshiped Harmon, and how Harmon went to visit him in the hospital and said, "Maybe I'll hit you a couple [home runs] today," and he did! Against the Yankees!
I remembered that I never saw Harmon Killebrew argue with the umpire (all right, there was one time I saw him do it, on television, very late in his playing career...and before it was over, both he and the umpire were laughing). I remembered a teacher telling me that Harmon was offered lucrative contracts endorsing beer, but refused them because so many young people looked up to him.
Then I see so many of today's athletes charging big bucks for autographs and showing the young people who look up to them that winning is everything and money is the name of the game. Then I remember how Harmon Killebrew did it, and I realize that, although it took me a number of years to figure it out, he really was my hero.
Harmon Killebrew was a solid role model for a whole generation of kids...my generation. He showed us how to play the game and keep it in perspective. Baseball is a game. It's fun. He showed us how to win and lose with grace and dignity. He showed us we could be excellent athletes and excellent people at the same time.
It was one of those jobs a lot of musicians hate to play, and it was finally over. In two very long hours, no one had applauded. No one had offered a compliment. Only two or three had acknowledged our presence in any way. The band had another job to play across town, and the hosts told us that if we could find any leftover food, we could have some.
As I leaned over the table, trying to find a cube of cheese that hadn't dried out, I felt a hand on my shoulder. "I know you're in a hurry," a gentle voice said, "but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your music. It really made the party."
And I had the uncharacteristic presence of mind to say something like, "You gave a whole lot of entertainment to a whole lot of people...that compliment means something special coming from you."
Thanks, Harmon. I needed that.
