Excavation of the Douara Cave in the 1970 field season uncovered certain quantities of the "amorphous silica," the microscopic structures of which seemed to be consistent with the silica skeletons isolated from some dicotyledonous plants though the plant names do not corresponded (Matsutani, 1973).
Many soil samples were also collected in the 1974 season and the author was able to engage in the study of these samples again.
This time a column sample was available as well as several ash samples.
Similar structures were also searched for among the spodograms of living plants con taining silicate which might have grown in the past in that part of Western Asia.
In addition, small fragments of charcoal were taken from an ash sample. Thin sections of these were made using a plastic resin and compared with modern samples of the probable equivalent.
CB series of the column samples (Plate 1), each collecting 2 to 4 cm3 at the point X=9, Y=5.5, amounts to 43 samples. Five samples were collected from various ash layers as listed in Table 1. All these were processed according to the following procedure.
Five random grams of each sample were transferred to a test tube, then 10 ml or more of 10% HCL solution was added to dissolve the calcium salts. Repeated washings with dis tilled water followed. The sample was then desiccated in an oven and mounted in Eukitt. They were stained with safranin or methylene blue in accord with the character of the silica skeletons.
Observations were made under a light microscope with simple polarized accessories.
In many of the samples mentioned above more or less identical structures as seen in the 1970 season were again observed. Their frequencies are shown in Table 1.
Regarding the CB-series shown in Table 1, the frequencies of the structures in question seems to have the following tendency.
The samples of the upper layers from CB-1 to CB-4 do not produce those structures; those from CB-5 to CB-20 except CB-17 show certain amounts of them. None occurred in CB-21-22; after that, up to CB-36 except both for CB-26 and -29, smaller quantities oc curred. Then again there was an increase and in the lower layers from CB-37 to CB-43, and the frequencies in these were the most abundant throughout all samples.
The other ash samples of various points, and the two from the greyish ash samples in the IVB horizon showed an abundance of these structures.
These suggest that the lowest horizon, IVB, associated with the Middle Paleolithic, yields these structures most abundantly. In order to determine their sources, spodograms of living plants were conducted and examined as described later.
In one of the ash samples regarded as to belonging to Horizon I, not silica structures, but calcium crystals were observed. This suggests derivation from some common leaf or wood. Among the ash small fragments of charcoal were found. Part of these incinerated fragments showed similar calcium crystals, and thin sections were made of these samples to determine the characteristics of the ash.
Many dicotyledons have been reported to contain silica in the epidermis of their leaves (Kohl, 1889; Netolitzky, 1912a, 1929; Geis, 1973 etc.), but few have been reported with regard to the seed coat or pericarp.
Failing to match the spodograms of plants collected around the cave which serve as food plants of the present day, other plants were investigated which might fit the require ments such as containing silica and growing in the areas of Western Asia. Borage seeds were selected and examined in the seed collection of the Botanical Garden, the Univer sity of Tokyo and in the herbarium specimens of the Department of Botany, the University Museum, the University of Tokyo.
The seeds from twenty three species within nine genera were incinerated in a porcelain dish by means of the dry ashing method using a muffle furnace at 550 C and were mounted in Eukitt after treatment with 10% HCL solution followed by washing and desiccating.
Results are listed in Table 2.
However, these are not all the species of a given family, and the leaved portions were not tested because of a want of time and materials. Silica skeletons of hairs from the family, or skeletons of stomata were not found in the Douara samples, seeds being more probable than leaves. However, other families not examined might reveal similar structures.
Identification of the charcoal fragments with archeological connections attracted many workers with various approaches as summarized by Paulssen (1964) and Gannon (1973).
Charcoal fragments derived from the ash of the Douara Cave at the point described above were of such small size, about 0.7 mm long and 1.5 mm in diameter, that preparation by thin sectioning was conducted.
Techniques of embedding in plastic resin have been highly developed for use with elec tron microscopy, and epoxy resin has been successfully utilized for archaeological wood and charcoal samples (Gannon, 1973). However, here was used glycol methacrylate (GMA) which is missible with water and was recently developed for light microscopy in place of the conventional paraffin wax.
Sectioning of this embedded specimen after the removal of the aluminum foil was done using an ultra microtome and a glass knife. About 2 thick sections were put on water drops with the aid of a syringe on the slide glass. After desiccation on a hot plate, the samples were mounted with immersion oil to facilitate the microscopy.
Sections of the charcoal fragments revealed under the microscope have the following traits as shown in Plate 4.
Groups of vessels accompanying included phloem are adjacent with each other and broad rows ofparechyma cells bind the vessel groups. Phloems are arranged in a concentric pattern.
These traits are characteristic of such plant groups of Centrospermae as Chenopodiaceae, Amaranthacease, and Nyctaginaceae (Balfour, 1965; Philipson and Ward, 1971, etc.).
Seen from Plate 4-1, the diameter of the cross plane is not large. This seemed to be not derived from a large tree, but from a slender twig of a young tree or a stem of herba-ceous plant.
According to the pollen analysis of the Douara Cave (Sohma and Sasaki, 1973), the pollen of Chenopodiaceae are well established and it is highly possible that the origin of the charcoal and ash, the latter revealing many small calcium crystals under the polarized microscope, are derived from the stems and/or leaves of chenopods. According to the report of the pollen analysis described above, five species of Chenopodiaceae, i.e., Halocnemum strobilaceum, Salsola villosa, Noaea mucronata, Haloxylon articulatum and Atriplex leucoclada, are listed as growing around the Palmyra Oasis.
Among the plants collected near the cave by a member of the 1974 field season, four specimens were identified as Chenopodiaceae by Mr. Ohba and GMA sectioning was carried out on these specimens.
The specimens are preserved at the Department of Botany, the University
Museum, the University of Tokyo. Each slender stem about 2 to 3 mm in diameter
was cut to 8 mm thick and embedded in the resin by almost the same procedure
as was used with the charcoal fragments. However, presoftening was carried
out with haut-clave and the process began with a 20% solution followed by
30% and 40% solutions of resin.
Of the four samples sectioned for comparison, almost similar structures with those obtained from the charcoal were found only in one specimen identified as Chenopodium cf. album.
Microscopic study of one of the ash samples from the upper layer (Horizon
I) reveals that the ash comes from a plant which contained much calcium salts,
not silica, and that the charcoal fragments from among the ash are possibly
carbonized stems of Chenopodium.
Ash from the lowest layer (Horizon IVB) contained much amorphous silica; its micro-scopic structure resembles spodograms of seeds of some Boraginaceae.
It might sound strange that the Douara people of the Middle Paleolithic
might utilize the seeds of Boraginaceae, for the family is not to the best
of our knowledge on a familiar economic plant. The majority of the reports
with paleoethnological information are con-cerned with food plants such as
cereals and pulses; the borage family is seldom mentioned.
But in lists of plant remains from aceramic Hacilar in Turkey (Helbaek,
1970) and from the lowest level of All Kosh in Iran (Helbaek, 1969), however,
species of this family such as Heliotropim sp., Heliotropium persicum, Lithospermum
arvense, and Echium sp. were re-corded. Further, Dr. Helbaek notes the occurrence
of the seeds of this family from the early seventh millennium Beidha in Jordan
and from early Catal Hüyük in Turkey. He has com-mented (Helbaek,
1970:237) on these occurrences: "For some reason hitherto unexplained the
fruits of several species of this family occur with a conspicuous frequency
in very early deposits of plants, although the fruits can be of no nutritive
value whatever and the stems less profitable than most other."
It should be noted that both in the case of Ali Kosh and Hacilar their occurrence
diminished as time went on (loc. cit.).
Also, in the list of the plant remains of Abu Hureyra in Syria (Hillman,
1975) and Can Hasan III in Turkey (French, Payne and Hillman, 1972), Lithospermum
arvense, Echium sp., and Cf. Lithospermum arvense were found from the metholithic
and early neolithic period, but Dr. Hillman made no comment on these finds
which are not microscopic but macroscopic in nature. Dr. Netolitzky, who pioneered
spodograms in the field of archeological plant remains, related the detection
of Borago officinalis from the corpses of prehis-toric Egyptian mummies with
the aid of silicified membranes (Netolitzky, 1912a). Unfor-tunately, detailed
descriptions were not included in his report, so it is not certain whether
he was referring to the silica skeletons of leaves or seeds, although millet
and sedge accom-panied by borage were reported in detail in his other report
(Netolitzky, 1912b), Yet, we know from this that the ancient Egyptian people
utilized this species as a foodstuff.
It is highly probable, therefore, that people of Western Asia much valued Boraginaceae, and this might also be said of the Douara people.
The author would like to express appreciation to the following persons who have made this short report possible.
Firstly I extend my thanks to the members of the Tokyo University Scientific Expedition to Western Asia, especially to Mr. K. Endo, Department of Applied Sciences, College of Humanities and Sciences, Nihon University, and to Mr. T. Akazawa, National Science Mu-seum for sample collecting and information concerning them. Dr. H. Kanai of the National Science Museum suggested the Boraginaceae and Prof. Y. Furusawa, Ryukyu University, formerly of the Botanical Gardens, the University of Tokyo, gave permission to obtain seed samples.
To Dr. M. Wada, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences, the University of Tokyo, and to Dr. Y. Fukuda, Department of Biology, Faculty of General Education, Chiba Uni-versity, the author owes much for instructions and technical support during the making of the thin sections of charcoal fragments and on the identification of the sections of carbon-ized and fresh specimens respectively.
Mr. H. Ohba, Botanical Gardens, the University of Tokyo, kindly identified living plants collected around the cave.
To Professor N. Watanabe, Department of Anthropology, Faculty of Sciences, the Uni-versity of Tokyo, who led me to this field of spodograms and thereafter has encouraged me, the author owes much.

Im in the process of being diagnoised with lupus. I have done some looking into it and lupus seems to be compatable with SSDI. What is the proccess if you have a diagnosis, and meet all the critera written on the website. It seems like according to other web sites and chat that applying for it is very hard. My other question is why is so hard to apply why do you get rejected if you have a specific problem listed on the page and you meet all the critera? Thank you in advance.

Also it has been a while since i was able to work fully because of my condition, i officaly stopped working in jan 2011 not because of my pregnancy but because of a flair up caused by my pregnancy and i havent felt good enough since to return to work. This diagnosis has been a long time coming i have proof that i have been seeing a doctor regularly for a over a year now due to problems from lupus. Would my having proof that my diagnosis was delayed move the dates for my ammount of work credits?

Thank you so my armyofone0508. At this point im just happy to get a diagnosis, but hopefully i will get approved the SSDI would help my family out greatly!

Having a diagnosis isn't enough, it has to be so bad that it is effecting almost every aspect of your life and your ability to do any job. They look specifically at any jobs that you've had in the past and they do ask for all of that info on your application. I highly recommend hiring a representative, most will work on a contigency basis (they only get paid if you get backpay) if you are not approved the first time. If you have a ton of documentation and medical records, plus your dr is on board with you applying and is willing to be very thourough filling out paperwork for you then you have a chance of getting approved the first time. However, if you do get denied I HIGHLY recommend getting a rep who specilizes in SSDI cases before you file an appeal.
The SSA doesn't always request detailed enough documentation and so your dr (or yourself) only relates the info they ask for, which isn't always enough to make a decision. In my experience the company that repped me sent out their own information requests that were much more in depth questions about my conditions and how it limited me. I did have to go before a judge before I was finally approved, but he approved me at the hearing and didn't even deliberate over it, which I've heard is uncommon. Usually they say they will let you know and you just get a letter in the mail with their decision. I was fortunate and it only took me 14 months from the time I applied until I got my approval letter and first payment and backpay, but I applied in 2009. I have heard that it has gotten harder and takes a lot longer now because of so many people being unemployed they are applying if they think they can even possibly qualify and it has created an even greater backlog than there was before the recession was at it's lowest point.
Another very good thing to keep in mind is to have all of your paperwork together before you even submit the application. If you or your dr are late turning in paperwork they can (and will) make a decision with whatever information they have at the time. If it's not enough to convince them your condition is disabling they will deny you.
Good luck to you! If you are not able to work anyway and it is because of the lupus it doesn't hurt to apply, but just make sure that you take it seriously when they ask for info and that you get it back to them as quickly as possible and that your dr does the same.

Jelly.Beanas.Mommy It is in every single aspect of my life, I cant leave my house without my husband even to go to the store i get so much anxiety that it will launch me intoa depressed state for weeks. Right now typing this is hard because today most of the joints in my body are swollen and inflamed and hurting so badly. Im always so tierd im only awake for about 9 hours a day on good days its closer to tweleve on bad days its as little as six. I have been in the ER six times in the last three months for pleurisy because i thought i was having a heart attack.
I can imagine a lot of ladies know what its like to know something is wrong for so long and not have a diagnosis to have more and more tests done more blood draws MRI after MRI. My life has been a living hell the last year. We where TTC but lost baby after baby and couldnt figure out why. Now that my doctor said he is 100% confident the i have Lupus I can finaly breathe a little better knowing that its not all just in my head, that im not crazy. That to me is a victory for the history books!

It is definitely worth a shot, but like I said it can take a while and it can be very disappointing if you get denied and have to appeal. Just don't give up!
Mom to Angelina (12) - Dx'd w/ T1D March 2013
It is really tough to get SSI or SSDI right now. I helped my mother apply several years ago, and she was approved on the very first try. I have many of the same issues she has and more. I should have applied when I stopped working in 2001 (just before I had my first child), but I didn't want to admit it was something I needed to do. I struggled so much when I was working, and I ended up losing my last job because of my health issues.
I finally applied for SSDI and SSI last winter. I was denied and then appealed. I was denied at that level as well. I could have pushed it to a hearing, but I chose not to proceed. While I still have a bunch of medical problems, I have really been fighting to improve my health. I have lost 60 lbs. via eating healthy and exercising. I am now considered "overweight" and no longer in the "obese" category. I am still losing weight, exercising regulary, eating smarter, and doing strength training as I can handle it. It is VERY difficult, but it has helped me so much. Technically, I probably still need disability benefits, but it was a longshot for me anyway due to how long it had been since I had worked in a regular job. So, I will keep trying, desperately, to find a job (doing some sub teaching but it's not enough to help my family much).
Just to give you an idea of my personal experience with this... I applied due to PTSD (I held my daughter as she died), Bipolar disorder, OCD, chronic depression/anxiety, Fibromyalgia, spondylolysis (cracked L5 vertebra), slipped discs, arthritis, SI joint dysfunction, moderate sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma, severe allergies, multiple symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome, congenital spinal malformation, a bunch of orthopaedic problems with my feet, and multiple female health issues. I sent in over 1000 pages of medical records from the last 12-15 years. It wasn't hard to see (from the records and other evidence) that it was (and still is in most cases) affecting every aspect of my life. They did have trouble getting some of the records because it had been so long, and that didn't help my case. Still, there was enough evidence, but times are tough and getting approved is very difficult now. Also, I really think it is just a matter of who works your case. Two different caseworkers could very easily give two different verdicts on a case.
Please don't think I am saying this is impossible. Since it hasn't been that long since you worked, it will be easier to get evidence. If your illness is truly keeping you from working, you should certainly consider applying.
Best wishes!
DD(13) DD(11) DS(5 - ASD) DD(2) DD in Heaven since age 4 mos (T21, AVSD) and #6 DS (VSD) born August 2016!
I really hope that you get approved! It is the hardest thing to get approved for, ugh, I applied around July and they have denied me twice already. Now, I went to a "mental health evaluation" and I don't know how well I did so I don't know if I'll be denied once again.
Anyway, enough about me! I'm so sorry you have lupus, I hope that things get better and easier for you as time goes on and hopefully your healthcare team rocks so that you have the best help out there :)
jstclair05- the sad thing is my primary doc the one who finaly figured out what is wrong is moving in may im so sad! Im also sorry you have a traumatic brain injury i have been reading your blog for some time.
I wont be upset if we are denied several times, im really just happy to know whats going on with my body. Its such a gift to feel at peace for even a moment. Even if i was in the ER again last night with chest pains because im having a bad flair up. Anything has to be better than feeling like everyone in the room thinks your crazy.

Ezio made the speech when the false monk was burned, he talks about tyranny and greed how averge folk gave up their right and led by the nose without resistence and how every man should make their own choices not give in to the templars.
Templars=ubisoft tyranny=internet-DRM
indivual who give up right without thought=gamer who didn't protest the DRM and simply go along with it, how ironic.
i've got a question the 1.01 trainer doesnt load at all but my AC 2 game runs with a server launcher working as a crack. is it possible that that program interferes with the trainer??
Warez releases aren't supported.

I also want to say tyvm for the trainer!
Some ppl reported that the trainer isn't working on the german version, well, it works perfectly here though (german voice, german text)
Personaly, I like that the Super Health doesn't make you totally immune (high jumps, etc.)
My wish list:
Tombs Lever's Timer freeze, it is really annoying sometimes
- Lock DNA won't work in Tombs/special missions, it will freeze your movement too
- Lock Timer doesn't work on lever's timer either
Great work!

Most Helpful
Loved it and my deepest regard for the three lemons who gave up their short-lived lives for this recipe and making me look like a fantastic cook.
I marinated my chicken for 24 hours, it came out really juicy and full of lemon flavor.
This is a very, very tasty chicken dish. I did leave it in a little longer than called for as we had a family emergency. Was still nice and juicy and crispy. Thnx for posting, FENathan. Made for Fall 2008 My-3-Chefs.

[author: Lauren Sweeney]
Often times, one partner in a same-sex couple owns real property and seeks to add the other partner to the title or deed for no consideration (i.e. when no money or other type of payment is received in return). Though this may appear to be a straightforward process, it is important to keep in mind that there are tax consequences for so doing. This type of one-sided property transfer constitutes a taxable gift for federal gift tax purposes. Under the federal tax laws, there is a gift tax reporting obligation to the extent that the fair market value of the gifted interest, exceeds the available annual exemption in the year of the gift.
This reporting obligation does not necessarily imply a tax liability. According to The American Taxpayer Relief Act, each American taxpayer has a $5 million cumulative lifetime gift and estate tax exemption. This means that any amounts given during life or transferred upon death that total less than $5 million will be transferred free of tax. Additionally taxpayers are allowed to make annual gifts up to $14,000, per recipient, which gift does not count towards the $5 million lifetime maximum exemption. Any gift amount to an individual that exceeds $14,000 is considered a taxable gift, and the taxpayer who made the gift is required to file a gift tax return. Gifts that exceed the annual exemption amount accumulate from year to year and count toward the $5 million lifetime maximum exemption, as do any assets that are part of an inheritance.
The use of a "tenancy in common" may be a beneficial means for gifting the other partner into ownership with minimal gift tax consequences. Because the shares of ownership do not have to be equal in a tenancy in common, the partner may choose to gift a share of the property to the other partner each year (up to the annual exclusion amount) until the desired property apportionment is received. Best-practices compliance involves not only a gift tax return filling, but also a real estate valuation of the fractional interest being gifted.
Since the repeal of DOMA, legally married spouses can transfer property to their spouses free of the gift tax. For federal tax purposes, the terms "spouse," "husband," and "wife" includes individuals of the same sex who were lawfully married under the laws of a state whose laws authorize the marriage of two individuals of the same sex and who remain married. However, the terms "spouse," "husband and wife," "husband," and "wife" do not include individuals (whether of the opposite sex or the same sex) who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar formal relationship recognized under state law that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of that state, and the term "marriage" does not include such formal relationships. Gifts to your spouse are eligible for the marital deduction.
Due to the complexity of both real estate and tax law, it is advisable that individuals consult with an attorney prior to adding his or her same-sex partner to a title or deed to ensure proper reporting of both the real estate transfer and gift tax reporting.

Oh, the sweet & whimsical drawings of Japanese artist/children's illustrator Yusuke Yonezu. The only information I have about these pieces is this… I love them {his site is in Japanese so that's all I've got!}. But hey, when you've got bean paste buns and knit vests, who needs more? Happy Monday ♥
New York based illustrator, Mac Conner has a show currently hanging at the Museum of the City of New York. His work was a staple in magazines like The Saturday Evening Post and McCall's, and in ads for General Motors and United Airlines just to name few… an illustrator who was truly part of the Mad Men era… and now, at age 100 (100!?) he finally has his own, long overdue, solo show featuring decades worth of his work. If you're in New York between now and January 19, 2015 you really should go and see these beauties in person… I know I will!
{Thanks to GregoryWest for pointing me to this fantastic story}
Oh. My. I love these… the palettes, the vintage-ness, the scale… I love it all! This is the work of Canadian designer/illustrator Nathalie Cusson. Gorgeous vintage cars and, well, a skimobile? Yes! I have to admit, although I'm neither a hipster nor a corduroy-clad professor, I do have a thing for old Volvos so that one might be my pick… although I'm pretty sure the pink Citroën wants to come home with me too. Or the Fiat. Yes. I need that pretty blue Fiat.
{Each 22″x18″ print is a limited edition of 10, and they're only $105! Available here.}
Oh. My.
These are packaging illustrations by Romanian artist/illustrator Aitch. I wish that my milk and cookies looked like this… mind you, I'd probably never open them! Instead of holding my honey and flour, these gorgeous watercolors need to be hanging on my wall! That black paint is so rich, and the flat yet dimensional containers are beyond lovely. Sigh… ♥
{found on Pinterest via Chronicle Books}
I don't know if these illustrated travel diaries have me more excited to hop on the next plane to Europe, or to start drawing/documenting everything in my general vicinity! London based artist/illustrator Lizzy Stewart says "When I visit new places I always keep a sketchbook" … well thank goodness, because the results are lovely, and oh so inspiring. Happy Monday, everyone!
Isn't this the sweetest alphabet book!? And it's even sweeter when you find out that Hungarian-born, Cyprus based artist/illustrator, Anna Kövecses, made this for her four year old daughter, Rebeka. Here is Anna's description:
"This book is the result of a very personal project aiming to introduce a little girl to the 44 letters of the Hungarian alphabet. Illustrations were carefully designed so that every subject that appears in this book is something she's currently very much interested in. So in one way this book is not just a tool but also a diary documenting a four-year-old little girl's world in the summer of 2013 on an island in the Mediterranean Sea…"
What a wonderful mom… and an insanely talented artist! These were just a few of my favorite pages, and I have to say, the Canadian in me thought it was pretty awesome that 'Yukon' made an appearance! Anna self-published this lovely project through Blurb, so if you want to learn the Hungarian alphabet, or like me, you just really really want a copy of that campfire illustration, you can buy the book here.
Gasp! I'd love to swim in that rainy lake, or hang out in a tree with that bearded jungle man! Oh, if only I could be magically transported into one of these Impossible Bottles… that is the title of this fantastical series of animated gifs by Berlin based illustrator/animator Rafael Varona. Sigh. Living & breathing illustrations… gorgeous.
{via The Verge}
LOVE! This is the very pink, very botanical work of Polish artist/illustrator Barbara Dziadosz {now based in Hamburg}. Her portfolio is FULL of amazing things, all of which use this gorgeous palette… but these greenhouses and bell jars were screaming my name! "Danielle… write about us! We're so weirdly sweet!"
{via Honestly WTF}
True enough! But you know what distracts me even more… these beautiful, inky blue teapots by Brooklyn based artist/illustrator Na Kim. LOVE!
{I found a bunch of Na Kim's fantastic work on Booooooom.com, which led me down the rabbit hole that is her portfolio. Gorgeous.}
CONGRATULATIONS to Erika Rier… a copy of this lovely book is coming your way! {thanks to everyone that entered… and I hope that some of you made it to MoMA yesterday for the event on the lawn!}
I love this, probably because I love New York based artist/illustrator Maira Kalman so much, not to mention my love for vintage photographs of girls standing on lawns… oh, and would you look at that, that's the name of the beautiful book that Maira Kalman and writer Daniel Handler {a.k.a. Lemony Snicket} created together! The first, very poetic, page reads:
One morning
we found some photographs.
One morning
these girls stood on lawns.
We looked at the pictures,
and we got to work.
There's no use standing around.
You should do something.
This is the whole thing.
That really is the whole thing, isn't it… LOVE! On Sunday, June 1 at MoMA {who actually published this little gem}, Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler will celebrate their new book, Girls Standing on Lawns, with a garden party featuring 1930s-style Parisian jazz from the Hot Club of Flatbush. From 3-5 p.m. in The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. {Free with Museum admission}
ps. I have a copy of this book for myself, and… I have one to give away! Leave a comment below and I'll draw one name on Monday morning at 8am PST. Good luck!

YouTube - Battle for Laramie(photo quality is better then appear)
That looked like a pretty nasty break. Congrats on the win bro.
that must of hurt like shit. congrats on the win, keep it up.
Yeah that break looks bad-ass, but a win is a win...good job, keep up the good work.
wish i coulda seen the slam off from the triangle choke. That suplex looked sick too. Grats on the win man, keep it up
You didnt mean to break his arm right? cause if you did youre a phsycho,:laugh: Pretty good, to bad its just a slide show. The suplex looked awesome!

Something that you can't actually do in Photoshop proper is actually print more than one image on a single piece of paper unless you actually make a document in Photoshop and actually combine those images into that single document and then send that document to your printer. So, a workaround is to use Adobe Bridge and create a contact sheet, a PDF contact sheet using the Output Workspace inside Adobe Bridge. So, here we are. We're pointed at a particular folder of images, and I want to create a multi image per page document that I can either e-mail to someone as a PDF or print from Acrobat to my printer.
To do that, we'll go to our Output workspace. Up here is our workspace switcher. We're currently in Essentials. There's a little dropdown menu here. We'll switch over to Output. And what that does is switches your workspace to let you create this PDF contact sheet. The images that you had in your Content pane have been moved into this horizontal strip down at the bottom. And it's been replaced here with your output preview of what the PDF currently looks like. Let's go ahead and select all our ten images. I'm going to go ahead and click on one of the thumbnails and do a Command+A or Ctrl+A to select all ten images.
The first thing you need to choose, in your Output tab over here on the right, is whether or not you want a PDF contact sheet or a Web Gallery. We'll cover up the Web Gallery in a separate video. For now, we'll focus on the PDF contact sheet feature. The first thing you would get to choose from then is what template you want to use. There are some templates that ship with Bridge, and you can see them listed here: 2*2, 4*5, 5*8 and so forth. Let's go ahead and choose the 2*2 Cells option. Everytime you make a choice, in any of panes over here on the right, whether it'd be document layout and so forth, you do have to click the Refresh Preview button in order for that update to occur.
You can see, by default, the 2*2 grid is laying out the images four to a page and displaying the file name as well. Now, you can customize all of this with the options we have here down below. If you want to choose a different template, let's go with say 4*5 and click Refresh Preview. And again, we'll update that center area, and you could see this looks more like a traditional contact sheet. We just have really small thumbnails. Let's go back and start customizing this. First thing I'm going to do is change my page size. You have several different standards to choose from.
I'm going to go U.S. Paper and just choose Letter Size 8.5 x 11. You can change the Orientation to be Vertical or Horizontal. I'm going to go with Vertical. You can choose the output Quality, meaning the resolution of your images. There's a preset here, if you want low resolution for faster printing or the maximum resolution for 300 ppi. What this will do is downsample your images, especially those contact size. These are a lot smaller than the images that you're starting out with. So, it will downsample them down to 300 dots per inch, as part of creating the contact sheet for you.
You also have a Quality slider here to specify the JPEG quality that it's going to be generating for you behind the scenes. You can set the Background color. And since this is generating the PDF that you can share with others, you can actually password restrict the document. That's completely up to you. You can give a password to actually open the document or a password to allow them to print it or even disable printing, depending on what you're trying to do with this particular document. If it's just a read only document you want to share and e-mail to someone, but you don't actually want them to be able to print it, then you have that option.
Completely up to you, depending whether or not you're making this for yourself or for someone else like a client review or approval spec sheet of some sort. If we scroll down past the Document section, we have the Layout section, and this is where that template was just adding 4*5 rows as a preset here. But if I want 2 images by 2 images or just one image per page, I can customize that here. Let's do 3*3. And again, to get an update on this, we hit the Refresh Preview button. That'll generate the first page and display the preview of that first page in your Preview area here.
So, there I get 9 images per page, just by doing Columns 3, Rows 3. You can control the amount of space between each image. Use Auto-Spacing, Rotate for Best Fit, basically standard options that pretty much make sense. If you want, you can choose Repeat One Photo per Page. That's really cool. Let's go ahead and hit Refresh Preview again. This is going to generate a much larger PDF document. So, since I have 10 images here, I'm going to get 10 different pages, but I'm going to get 9 copies of each page. So, it's a way to actually output, say, 4*6, as many can fit on the page based on your paper size.
So, it's up to you, a lot of flexibility here. If I want, I can add the Overlays and control their Font and Size. So, by default, the Filename is checked as well the file Extension. If you want, you can change the Font by choosing any font in your installed list of fonts in your computer. I'll just leave it at the defaults here, but you can change the font size, style, color of the text as well and also choose to number your pages if you want. You can add a custom header or footer, put your custom branding on there, maybe the name of your company and so forth.
And then, if you're going to make this a presentation, like a slide show, you can actually have the PDF open up in full screen and have these pictures auto advance. So, you've a lot of flexibility here, just depending on what it is that you're trying to create. I'm going to just go ahead and go with what I've got here. And if you turn on the View PDF After Save check box, that will launch Adobe Reader or Acrobat Professional, depending upon what you have installed in your computer, and show you the final results once you're done. Let's go and hit the Save button. It'll ask to give it a name. I'll call it MyContactSheet, and I'll save it to the Desktop by doing Command+D on the Mac.
If you're on the PC, you might have a different looking Save As dialog box where you can click the word Desktop to have this end up on your Desktop. Let's go and hit Save. It's going to generate that full PDF for me, and when it's done it will launch the appropriate PDF viewer, in this case Acrobat. We'll go to Fit to View, and you can see it's a 10 page document where each page being repeated 9 times at each page, so a lot of flexibility. You can create presentations, contact sheets, multiple layouts, save your layouts as templates back in Bridge.
So, if you decide that you want to use this again, you can click the New button and give it name. We'll call it MyContactSheet. So, you won't have to do that setup again, and that will be added to your template list so you can quickly use that again for your next batch of images. So, lots of flexibility. Just do it from within Bridge, in the Output module, rather than trying to look for something like this in Photoshop Proper. When you're done, you can go back and click on the Essentials Workspace at the top to take you back to your standard working view inside Adobe Bridge.

Nordqvist Keeps Lead in Thailand
Anna Nordqvist followed up her opening 6-under 66 with an even-par 72 to retain the lead in the Honda LPGA Thailand. The $1.5 million, 72-hole event started Thursday at Siam Country Club's Pattaya Old Course.
Though there wasn't enough of it to postpone play, rainfall caused scores to soar in the second round. Only 22 players in the field broke par, and Nordqvist wasn't among them. Though she had three birdies and a like number of bogeys, the 26-year-old Swede was still pleased with where she stands heading into the weekend.
"I hit it good yesterday and kept hitting it really good on the first nine today," she said. "Then there were some tougher pins in the back, but I just tried to be aggressive and give myself chances for birdie. Felt like I did, but just couldn't make them.
"I'm excited. This is a position I've been practicing to be in. Hopefully, I can make a couple of more putts over the weekend and that should take care of it."
At 6-under 138, Nordqvist is a stroke ahead of Paraguayan Julieta Granada, who carded a 68, Spain's Azahara Munoz (68) and Germany's Sandra Gal (70).
Granada's 68 matched the low round of a rugged day exacerbated by the tough pin placements. "We had a whole lot of rain on the front nine so I had to concentrate," Granada said. "I like the course. You have to play well and hit good shots and that's what I did today."
Two Americans share fifth at 140 - Stacy Lewis and Michelle Wie, who shot 69 and 73, respectively, and another stroke back are Australia's Karrie Webb (70), South Korean So Yeon Ryu (72) and Americans Jennifer Johnson and Angela Stanford, who each carded 73s.
Lydia Ko (70) is four behind Nordqvist along with Brittany Lang (69), Jenny Shin (70), No. 1-ranked Inbee Park (71), Caroline Hedwall (73), No. 2 Suzann Pettersen (73) and Lexi Thompson (74).
There is no 36-hole cut in the 70-player tournament.

Great location right next to the bridge over the river towards the Philosophenweg. Decent service and a nice room. Not suitable for people who are disturbed by partying sounds.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Goldener Hecht Heidelberg
Great location...
This was a lovely little hotel situated right next to the Old Bridge in Heidelberg. It was great for us, as we were on our motorbike and could park it on the street opposite the hotel where we could see it from our window.
The hotel is quite quaint. Our room was nice and clean, however the bathroom was in need of some updating. Our room was at the front of the hotel next to a pedestrian area so it was noisy in the morning, but the hotel provides you with earplugs, although my partner and I had done over 200 miles on the motorbike that day so we slept soundly anyway!
The receptionists and breakfast staff were friendly and the morning receptionist was helpful with directions to exit Heidelberg. The breakfast was small but ample and tasty and kept us going for a few hours until lunch.
Overall, Heidelberg was a lovely place with a nice atmosphere and we will probably visit again and we would not rule out the Goldener Hecht.
Great hotel
My daughter and I stayed here in July 2006 for 2 nights. We stayed in #15 Victor v. Scheffel. I was very happy with the hotel, the staff, and the location. A very clean, small hotel run by very nice innkeepers. The location was awesome as it was in the center of the old town, right next to the old bridge "Alte Brucke". This is in the heart of Old Heidelberg and the hotel really preserves the historical ambiance of the area. I also felt that the 77.00 Euros that we paid per night was a fair price, even a good deal for this hotel.
Our room was small, but it had a comfortable king size bed.
Great Location, Great Character
Comfortable, friendly hotel with a fantastic location. We had the smallest room: the "Mark Twain" room and it was tiny but perfect with a wonderful view of the river and the old bridge. Two thumbs up!
Thubs up for this small hotel
We stayed here during the last week of November 05. We like to stay at small homely hotels and this fitted the bill a treat. We were in the Mark Twain room with a view of the river - the offer of breakfast in the room (small dining room) was not refused and we had one of the best buffet breakfasts we've ever had in Germany. Heidelberg off season is great, especially when the Christmas market hits town as it did when we were there. We unashamedly eat in restauarants the Main Street (Hauptstrasse) and had an excellent time. Stacks of really good places to eat in the town. The brew house almost opposite the hotel in Steingasse was very good as well. We went up the funicular railway to the fantastic viewpoint over the town - it was a really lovely long weekend for us that is to say, Friday thru Sunday.
We used the hourly Lufthansa coach from Frankfurt for our transit to and from the airport rather than the train; return ticket 35 Euros ( valid for a year)
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room cosy and clean. Recommended if you like small hotels.
Just to repeat - go to Heidelberg off season !
Small convenient hotel
My wife and I only stayed here one night on our last night in Europe. The hotel was small but hospitable and in an ideal location. The reception suggested a great place for us to go for dinner. We did a city tour by night as we were time limited and this allowed us to see some of the important sites in Heidelberg. Breakfasts were very nice but the communal breakfast room was incredibly small so you had to book for a certain time so they could stagger breakfasts as they couldn't fit everyone at the same time! Room was reasonable size and cosy and we would stay here again.
Small nice hotel
We stayed in this hotel for several days in the begging of 2005.
It's a nice small hotel located in the middle of the old town. Sevice and breakfast were good.
I strongly reccomend not to book "Victor Hugo" room, since it's dark and very very small. It doesn't worth it's price. "Mark Twain" room is probably the best one, though it's located on the 4th floor and there is no elevator in the hotel.
Bathrooms are small in the hotel, I think that's the only thing that we didn't like.
P.S. Actually there are a lot of hotels in Heidelberg that are not even mentioned on the web. So, if can't find a room, try calling directly to hotels.
Loved Our River View
We enjoyed our stay at the Goldener Hecht very much. I enjoyed the romantic view out our window of the old bridge. Through a mixup we were booked in too small a room. The next day the manager arranged for us a bigger room that was lovely. Be aware the German bathrooms are very tiny but adequete. Everyone was always very helpful. The nice man carried our heavy bags up the stairs. It is noisy on warm nights with the windows open, if there is a crowd below, but they supply ear plugs. The breakfast is large and hearty and served in the breakfast room or your own room. There is a nice restarant just outside also. The desk clerks were very helpful about the mail and local shops and services. A hair dryer was made available also.
We would definitely recommend this hotel if what you're looking for is a warm, small family hotel with a truly local feel.
Very nice, but need to improve customer service.
We stayed at this hotel in late May 2004. It is a very old hotel, but very nice, clean, had a small but lovely breakfast room with an excellent breakfast, and best of all it was right there at the old bridge and in the middle of old Heidelberg.
If the proprietess had not REFUSED to mail us a bag with toiletries and medications we had inadvertently left in the bathroom upon checking out I would have given this hotel 4 stars. We were stressed for time because we were blocking traffic while loading our car in front of the hotel. (Parking was not convenient, you had to drive to the parking garage and then walk back to the hotel. Not a long walk, but still.) That was really the only negative aspect of our 3 night stay there. (And by now I have given up of her ever mailing the bag to us in Florida since she wouldn't mail it to Stuttgart, our next stop.)
A real gem!
We spent the weekend in Heidelberg and were so pleased with the Goldener Hecht. It is in a perfect location...we walked all over and had easy access to restaurants, shops and the castle. Our room was lovely and clean...though on the top floor (4th?) which was a bit of a trek with the luggage, but fine without. Breakfast was served in our room as the dining room is very tiny (two tables)...which turned out to be to our advantage. What a feast! Assortment of breads, meats, cheeses, egg, coffee, juice, fruit. We packed sandwiches and fruit and enjoyed a nice lunch by the river...so really got two meals out of it! Staff was very friendly and helpful--and stored our luggage after check-out until we were ready to leave for the train station. I would definitely return.
Perfect view, perfect ambience.
I've stayed at the Goldener Hect twice, and loved it! First time a view of Der Alte Brucke, second time on the top floor with a view of the castle. It's located right at the old bridge, in fact. An old building (says 1719 on a sign) with lots of character, but perfectly clean and comfortable. The staff (under most knowledgable and hospitable Frau Rothe) tend to be university students from all over Europe. Extremely friendly and accommodating. The outdoor dining area in front is ideal--perfect for people-watching of strollers coming off the beautiful old bridge. Food just fine, too. Served nice breakfast by a sweet young lady from Siberia.

I've tried 5 different soups from Brodo. They are really good. The only negative was that the clam chowder was a tiny bit gritty. If they would clean the clams better, it would be perfect. Go with Chicken Noodle. It tastes homemade.

The Miami Heat may have won championships in each of the last two seasons, but life still isn?t perfect for some of their players.
According to Kathy Lynn Gray of the Columbus Dispatch, Mike Miller and other Heat players were among those victimized in a multimillion-dollar real-estate scam. Regina Garcia Cano of the Associated Press reported that the other players were James Jones and Rashard Lewis.
Haider Zafar allegedly conned Miller, Jones and Lewis?along with numerous other Florida residents?out of $8 million by using ?questionable documents? to solicit funds for Pakistani real-estate ventures.

Notre Dame sweeps Erath; Midland Rebels top Lacassine
CROWLEY – Notre Dame's Pios and Lady Pios made Senior Night a memorable one Tuesday, sweeping Erath in a District 5-AAA doubleheader at A.B. Dore gym.
The Lady Pios got things going 65-26 thrashing of the visitors before the Pioneers slipped away with a 47-43 victory in the nightcap.
The Lady Pios (23-3, 5-1) jumped out to a 15-3 advantage in the first quarter before connecting on four 3-pointers in the second frame that helped increase their cushion to 35-15 at the break. Freshman Gabbie Romero provided the spark, knocking down two 3-pointers off the bench. Marie Ledet had one.
The scoring frenzy continued in the second half with Notre Dame outscoring Erath 20-7 in the third quarter behind seven points from Kylie Pannell.
Romero canned her third 3-pointer in the fourth quarter as Notre Dame outscored Erath 10-4.
Notre Dame's balanced offensive attack was led by a 10-point outing from senior guard Taylor Simon. Romero followed with nine points and Pannell added eight.
Also contributing in the victory were Ledet and Sam Lyons with seven points each; Lexie Trosclair, six; Mary Charles, 5; Alex Miller, Katherine Parsley and Peyton Miller with four each and Taylor Gray with one.
In the boys' game, the Pios had to shrug off a slow start after being held scoreless in the opening frame.
Notre Dame rallied to take a 17-11 edge at the break and led 26-20 after the third quarter.
Erath cut the lead to two (45-43) late in the fourth quarter before Kane Thibodeaux knocked down two free throws with three seconds remaining to seal the victory.
Thibodeaux led the Pios with 11 points while Jeremy Smith and Ricky Stoma each scored nine.
Auston Bordelon followed with six points; Jacob Rogers and Stu Cook each added four; Jessie Smith scored three and Drew Trahan scored one.
Both the Pios and Lady Pios will travel to Rayne Friday for another league tilt.
In other prep action, Midland improved to 20-8 overall and 5-0 in district play with a 57-49 victory over Lacassine.
Allen Fontenot, Alan Vondenstein and Darren Arceneaux each scored 13 points to lead the Rebels. Chase Vincent pitched in eight points while Jake Gautreaux and Andrew Hains each scored four.
The Lady Rebels weren't as fortunate.
Lacassine took a 15-12 lead at the break and went on to outscore the Lady Rebels 28-9 in the second half to walk away with a 43-21 victory.
Morgan Clement scored a team-high nine points in the loss. Melody Hebert added eight points and Katie Primeaux scored two. Haley Guidry and Nakia McZeal each finished with one point.
Midland will return to action next Tuesday when they travel to Hathaway.
