Building a Simulation Model to Characterize Interacting Workflows and to Explore New Workflow Alternatives Janet E. Wedgwood, Jay Ritchie, Nadya Belov, et al.
Sortie Generation Rate (SGR) is an important metric for air dominance. Lockheed Martin must demonstrate that the Air System can fly the sorties during an allotted time and deliver the capability to the war fighter. Aircraft turnaround time- the time between when the aircraft touches down, refuels, rearms, and completes inspections in order to release the aircraft, to aircraft wheels up - plays an important role in achieving the SGR requirement.» Mehr lesen
Evaluation of outbreak response immunization in the control of pertussis using agent-based modeling Alexander Doroshenko, Weicheng Qian and Nathaniel D. Osgood
Pertussis control remains a challenge due to recently observed effects of waning immunity to acellular vaccine and suboptimal vaccine coverage. Multiple outbreaks have been reported in different ages worldwide. For certain outbreaks, publichealth authorities can launch an outbreak response immunization (ORI) campaign to control pertussis spread. The authors developed an agent-based model to investigate effects of outbreak response immunization campaigns targeting young adolescents in averting pertussis cases. The experience proved that ABM offers a promising methodology to evaluate other public health interventions used in pertussis control. The authors also identified the strong need for further research into application of modeling to further our understanding of pertussis epidemiology.» Mehr lesen
Agent-based Analysis of Picker Blocking in Manual Order Picking Systems: Effects of Routing Combinations on Throughput Time Ralf Elbert, Torsten Franzke et al
Order picking is one of the most labor- and time-consuming processes in supply chains. Improving the performance of order picking is thus a frequently researched topic. Due to high cost pressure for warehouse managers the space in storage areas has to be used efficiently. Hence narrow-aisle warehouses where order pickers cannot pass as well as several order pickers working in the same area are common. This leads to congestion which is in this context referred to as picker blocking. This paper employs an agent-based simulation approach to investigate the effects of picker blocking in manual order picking systems with different combinations of routing policies for three order pickers in a rectangular warehouse with narrow-aisles.» Mehr lesen
Agent-based Simulation of the Diffusion Dynamics and Concentration of Toxic Materials From Quantum Dots-based Nanoparticles Datu Buyung Agusdinata
Due to their favorable electrical and optical properties, quantum dots (QDs) nanoparticles have found numerous applications including nanomedicine. However, there have been concerns about their potential environmental impacts. The objective of this study is to develop an agent-based simulation model for predicting the diffusion dynamics and concentration of toxic materials released from QDs. Reaction kinetics is used to model the stability of surface capping agent particularly due to oxidation process.» Mehr lesen
Strategic Planning of Logistics for Offshore Arctic Drilling Platforms Supported by Simulation Andrey A. Malykhanov, Vitaliy E. Chernenko
The operation of offshore drilling platforms requires a lot of logistics: supply of platforms by platform supply vessels (PSVs), backward transportation of waste in containers and transportation of oil by tankers to export ports. The severe weather conditions of the Arctic Ocean increase the number of possible disruptions that influence the logistic system. The operation of PSVs and tankers has multiple constraints and interactions. An agent-based simulation has been developed in AnyLogic to support the strategic planning of logistics by year 2042. The presentation discusses the use of the model to determine the required number of vessels and compare different options of crude oil outbound logistic network design.» Mehr lesen
Particle Filtering Using Agent-based Transmission Models Kurt Kreuger, Nathaniel Osgood
Dynamic models are used to describe the spatio-temporal evolution of complex systems. It is frequently difficult to construct a useful model, especially for emerging situations such as the 2003 SARS outbreak.Here we describe the application of a modern predictor-corrector method – particle filtering – that could enable relatively quick model construction and support on-the-fly correction as empirical data arrives.» Mehr lesen
An Agent-based Approach for Modeling the Effect of Learning Curve on Labor Productivity H. Shehwaro, E. Zankoul, and H. Khoury
The labor-intensive nature of construction projects requires proper management and efficient utilization of labor resources. Improvement of labor productivity can enhance project performance and thereby lead to substantial time and cost savings. Several studies focused on identifying the effect of different factors on labor productivity, whereby the learning curve factor proved of paramount importance. Although previous research efforts developed models to represent the learning curve effect using traditional simulation approaches such as System Dynamics (SD) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES), none of these studies used Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) techniques. This study takes the initial steps and presents work targeted at analyzing the effect of learning on labor productivity using ABM.» Mehr lesen
Use of agent-based modelling to predict benefits of cleaner fish in controlling sea lice infestations on farmed Atlantic salmon M.L. Groner, R.Cox, G.Gettinby and C.W. Revie
Sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, are ectoparasites of farmed and wild salmonids. Infestations can result in significant morbidity and mortality of hosts in addition to being costly to control. Integrated PEST management programmes have been developed to manage infestations, and in some salmon farming areas, these programmes include the use of wrasse. To explore at what densities wrasse should be stocked in order to meet specific control targets, an individual-based model was built to simulate sea lice infestation patterns on a representative salmonid host. It was found that the wrasse can effectively control sea lice, and the densities of wrasse needed for effective control depend upon the source of the infestation and the targeted level of control.» Mehr lesen
Simulating Construction Bidding Using Agent-Based Modeling Sadegh Asgari, Ali Shafaat
Competitive bidding is the main mechanism for allocation of construction projects and consequently price determination of the construction services in the A/E/C industry. While different aspects of construction bidding have been studied in the literature, there is still a need for developing a comprehensive model that captures the complex dynamics of bidding environment by considering interactions among its components, most importantly construction contractors. This paper discusses the advantages of agent-based modeling in simulating the construction bidding process over the previously applied methodologies.» Mehr lesen
Agent-based population model used to identify and evaluate dog population management strategies L. Kisiel, A. Jones-Bitton, A.L. Greer; Department of Population Medicine, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON Canada; CEFUTREMA
Developing countries are faced with finding novel and humane ways to permanently reduce and control their dog population. Agent-based models developed to describe dog populations represent a unique, platform for using computer based simulation to identify control strategies with the greatest potential for success, aid in the design of more effective control measures, and provide a means to evaluate the success of different interventions.» Mehr lesen

Longer, lower, wider. That was the 1950's mantra of the domestic automakers – one taken up by Kia in the new millennium.
That's precisely what the Korean manufacturer has done to its entry-level model, the Rio. All-new for 2018 with a new suspension geometry, length is up by 0.6 inches in both the sedan and hatchback (172.6 and 160.0 inches, respectively). Wheelbase is also up, from 101.2 inches to 101.6 inches.
Springtime in Michigan – and especially for those of us who live in and around the "D" (that would be Detroit) - also signals that the start of the Major League Baseball season is just around the corner. This year, the home opener is set for this Friday with our hometown Tigers facing the Boston Red Sox at 1:10pm on April 7th.
We were reminded of this fact earlier this week when Chevy marketing VP Paul Edwards stated that "Chevrolet is proud to help kick off the 2017 MLB season by continuing the tradition of showcasing our vehicles in the center field fountain at the home of the Detroit Tigers."
Since 2002, Jeep and FCA's parts division have collaborated on sixty-two concept vehicles expressly for those Jeep fans in attendance. To help commemorate the event, now in its 51st year, Jeep and Mopar have developed seven more concept vehicles. This year, they range from the heritage-celebrating Jeep Grand One to a sand-inspired, Hemi-powered, gasser-styled Wrangler.

That's my jacket!
It has been over a month since I last read a book cover-to-cover, and it's a SW one.
Bloodlines by Karen Traviss. This started off quite poorly, except for the Fett storyline. But by the end, I really liked it; Traviss is moving up on my list of great SW writers now. I won't spoilerize it, but let's just say that I am eagerly awaiting Book 3 Tempest, in hey! another month from now.
I temporarily gave up on Wake and Skeleton Key until I finish a few things on my schedule. No new books on the horizon yet (until The End, the final in the Unfortunate Events series this Friday... the 13th! ).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Its been out for sometime but I just finished Game of Shadows, its about BALCO, Barry Bonds and steroids in sports. WOW!!! Its an eye opener for sure.
I enjoyed Pete Dexter's Deadwood, a 1986 novel about life in the raucous mining town. The story begins in 1876 and is largely told from Charley Utter's point of view, but switches occasionally to other denizens such as Seth Bullock, Bill Hickock, Al Swearengen, and Calamity Jane.
Dexter's Charley Utter is an entirely fascinating character and resembles his HBO counterpart in many ways, including his acerbic wit and observational humor. I really liked the potrayal of the man and often found myself laughing out loud at Dexter's dialogue - Utter knows that a trenchant remark can cut a man down just as effectively as a pistol or knife.
Although the author wasn't involved with the HBO series, his novel did form the basis (in part) for 1995's Wild Bill with Jeff Bridges in the title role. Since both book and HBO series share the same historical source material, fans will find a lot of similarities between the two, but Dexter's take is sufficiently different from the TV show to make it worth a read.
Max Brooks' World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is also fun to read if you like living dead or apocalyptic end-of-the-world fare. I felt the story suffered from a kind of historical detachment - it's been several years or so since the war ended in victory - so I think the suspense and thrill of following the collapse of society was a bit dulled. I think Stephen King's The Stand did an excellent job on that point, so if Brooks takes another bite at the living dead with a new book, a novel told in linear fashion would be cool as hell. Brooks' historical accounts are still pretty interesting, although he spends a lot of time covering the changes in military tactics and weaponry that combating this new enemy required.
Weird War Tales: Featuring the Creature Commandos #105 November 1981 (DC Comics)
Any book told (even in part) from Calamity Jane's perspective must be cool.
That's my jacket!
Finally finished "Flags of our Fathers" just in time for the movie tomorrow.
Amazing book. Simply amazing.
I know very little of the war in the Pacific in WWII. Overall, I find the European war much more interesting, so I had little knowledge of how important Iwo Jimo was. I find it stunning how 1/400th of a second of one unimportant moment (well, unimportant at the time the picture was snapped) could end up meaning so much to so many, even to this day.
[FONT=Book Antiqua]He passes to Moses - He shoots, he scores![/FONT]
Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
I had some free time away from rehearsals last weekend so I finished...
The End by Lemony Snicket. I was expecting more, but I suppose I should've expected how the book did turn out. Funny in parts, serious in others, with the usual grammatical and expression explanations in between.
I don't know what'll be next on my reading list (whenever the Darth Bane SW novel arrives at my local library, I may try for that), but it will definitely have to wait until I'm done as Joe Stoddard, undertaker of Grover's Corners, next week.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I just finished a WWI day by day book. It's a very good source of instant facts.
I'm also in the process of reading "The Second World War" by Winston Churchill. It's a big 'ol book and I doubt I'll be able to finish it.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
I just started a book about the US forces that used deception in WWII, rubber tanks, sound projection etc. so far its very interesting.
After months as a coffee table-type book, I just finished the New Essential Guide to Droids. Not bad, not as good as the Chronology or Characters, but overall okay. I like the switch to CG artwork for droids, but I still prefer the comic drawings for characters.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Like other bodies of work begun when Malangi was younger, and in possession of less ceremonial authority and experience as a painter, his early depictions of Yathalamarra of the 1960s adhere to a personal template that he used to paint the 'whole' dollar note story. In a vertical format the central figure (of Gurrmirringu) is replaced by a central roundel (waterhole) surrounded by trees and animals related to the site.
The more accomplished works came with Malangi's orientation of the bark from vertical to horizontal. Within this 'landscape'he painted a series of pictures documenting the Yathalamarra waterhole. These vast columnar paintings emerged at around the time when Malangi was also producing aspect paintings as part of the Djan'kawu series. The use of individual elements within the Yathalamarra works influenced the Djan'kawu 'icon' paintings. One approach fed into the other while each remained distinct.
Their structure enabled him to depict an inventory of the Ancestral narrative that is visually partitioned across the picture plane. The important Ancestors in the telling of the Yathalamarra creation story are: Burala the Darter, the waterlily women Bundul and Biyay'ngu, waterlily bulbs and leaves and Wulawarri the Catfish who is associated with Djalumbu [the hollow log].
Yes. This his name Yathalamarra, my mother's country that I've been doing paintings, the bark paintings of this country. I've been painting for my mother. The tucker got a name, called gindjimirri, waterlily leaf …Malangi, 1989[1]
[1] David Malangi from an interview with Margie West at Ramingining and Yathalamarra, September 20–21, 1989.
Excerpt from Margie West, 'Yathalamara — land of the waterlily' in the exhibition catalogue No ordinary place: the art of David Malangi, Canberra: National Gallery of Australia, 2004, p. 42–50.
The publication, which includes articles by the exhibition curator Susan Jenkins, Nigel Lendon and Djon Mundine, is available from the Gallery Shop for $34.95 (RRP $49.95) or online at ngashop.com.au.

What's better than a free brunch at the new Del Frisco's Grille? Not much! Hubbard and I were treated this Saturday and loved every bite. This is the steakhouse's answer to a bar and grill. Very stylish and a great location. The patios is spacious. They even have an patio upstairs in their second dining area. Bonus: they serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday. I love that. I'm always craving something delicious on Saturday afternoons. I think if you see the pictures you'll be craving it, too!
I'm a sucker for deviled eggs. With truffle-chive vinaigrette? Are you kidding?
Hubbard is still talking about these cheesesteak eggrolls. They really were delicious. Tender beef. Cheesy, crunchy. Great idea.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Carbonara Flatbread. Isn't it lovely? Prosciutto, Parmesan, cracked black pepper cream sauce. Kind of like a ham and egg pizza but better. And we still haven't gotten to the the entrees yet.
Want a drink? How about that white Sangria? So light and refreshing. Makes you want to drink it all day! The Bloody Mary comes with a tray of garnishes that you can use to fix up your own glass. I never got to that because I was actually just interested in tasting the mix. I hate a dull Bloody Mary and this one was nothing but dull. Not too spicy, still full of flavor. Of course, the brunch punch isn't too bad either.
Bacardi, Malibu, orange and pineapple juices, grenadine… yum!
When I go to a new place for brunch I always try the Benedict. This one was particularly good.
Sitting atop white cheddar and scallion biscuits, topped with chipotle hollandaise, the eggs were perfectly prepared. I'm pretty picky about poached eggs. This was a great entree and very filling. Hubbard had to try the chicken fried steak. He makes a mean chicken fried steak here at our house. So, he can be critical when it comes to CFS. Not much to complain about when it's made from ribeye!
The chorizo gravy gave a nice full flavor to the dish. Hub liked it a lot. The steak was very tender and not chewy or fatty at all. And yes, the crust says on the meat when you cut into it! Delicious fries.
Yes, they are really called Sea Salt and Parmesan Frites. Call them whatever you want. They're really good. Maybe not as good as the desserts. But, damn close!
This was my favorite. Coconut cream pie. Delicious!
Bread pudding?
Lemon cake?
Oh, come on! You know you want it! We'll be going back for sure!

(L) Ms Debbie Toscano is senior industry analyst and (R) Mr Justin Collishaw is industry analyst for Frost & Sullivan's global life sciences program
The approval process for new drugs in the US is tightly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has the final say in whether or not a company may market a new drug. While the FDA desires to ensure availability of new innovative drugs as well as cost-effective generics to patients in need, they are also meant to protect the public from unnecessary risks of new drugs.
The FDA occasionally finds themselves at odds with drug companies, which sometimes progressing to even a lawsuit. Many of the disagreements between the pharma industry and the FDA surround generic drug approvals, whether they originate from generics companies seeking approval, or pharmaceutical originators attempting to block approval of a generic.
A recent example of a disagreement between a generics company and the FDA was the delay of Watson Pharmaceutical's marketing approval for their generic version of Actos (pioglitazone), a widely prescribed drug for diabetes. Prior to the expiration of the patent for Actos, four generic drug companies, including Watson, Ranbaxy, Mylan, and Teva Pharma, simultaneously filed abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) for the approval of their respective versions of Takeda Pharmaceutical's Actos.
Normally, the first filer of a generic drug is awarded a full six months of marketing exclusivity by the FDA before other generics can launch, thus keeping profits relatively high for the first filer(s). In this case, shared exclusivity was awarded to three-of-the-four filers. For reasons not fully disclosed, the FDA denied Watson a piece of the shared exclusivity period, a decision that cost Watson millions of dollars. Following unsuccessful efforts to resolve the dispute with the FDA, Watson filed a suit to challenge the decision. The case was finally decided in Watson's favor, allowing them to launch their generic Actos in October 2012. However, nearly half-of-the-six-month exclusivity period was lost.
On the other side of the issue, they are attempts made by big pharma to delay or block generic competition and, if successful, the investment of a few hundred thousand dollars tied up in a lawsuit is well worth the additional revenue gained, if there is success in extending the exclusivity of a branded franchise that is possibly worth millions of dollars each quarter.

Interview: Steve Vai and Tosin Abasi
Did you get into seven-string guitar partially because of Steve's influence?
ABASI: Well, it was more from heavier bands doing stuff with a seven-string guitar. I've always had this metal side. I think a lot of advanced guitar players end up in this metal genre, 'cause it allows them to play fast. Their ideas of taste are a bit crazy. But the first guitar that I ever worked really hard for and spent a lot of money on was the Ibanez UV-777. [The seven-string Universe guitar that Vai designed with Ibanez.]
VAI: Right on!
ABASI: That was the seven-string. I'm trying to think of tracks where you played the seven that really inspired me. For me, it was more just your playing in general.
VAI: I didn't really use the seven-string as much as a lot of people thought I did. I designed that guitar for the Whitesnake record [Slip of the Tongue], 'cause I wanted to have a sound that could do different things. And then a part of it spilled over onto Passion and Warfare, but not a lot really. When I did the Whitesnake tour, however, I played the seven-string exclusively.
ABASI: Really?
VAI: Yeah. But when I was doing it, I had a feeling that there was going to be a group of kids who were really gonna take that low string and do something with it that I wasn't doing. And I also felt that maybe some jazz and classical players would take it up. I had no idea that they were going to do what they did. I remember I was driving down the street once and I heard this music on the radio. I actually had to pull the car over and listen, 'cause I couldn't believe it. It was Korn. And I'm like, "They're doing more than I did with the seven-string." They took it to another level. It was so, so cool to see it happen. See, my own influence on the seven-string guitar kind of came and went. But when it came, there were enough young players who were inspired to play a seven-string guitar and who became popular. They really blew it up. And that's the seven-string you heard. 'Cause I used it more as a texture.
ABASI: Yeah, with "Bad Horsie."
VAI: No, that wasn't a seven-string. "Bad Horsie" was just tuning down.
ABASI: Okay. Sorry about that! But it's really cool that you had an idea and implemented it, and then it became the catalyst of this whole other thing.
VAI: Well, now they've got eight strings. You're playing an eight-string guitar.
Yeah, how did you progress from seven to eight?
ABASI: In getting comfortable on the seven, I enjoyed a real creative boost from having that extra string. I was writing new riffs and there were different interval combinations available to me. So I guess I was looking for that same experience again. And the idea to move on to eight strings came from Meshuggah, who were playing Universes for a while, and then I guess they wanted to go further, so they commissioned a luthier to make them these eight-string guitars. Hearing that, for me, was kind of like what you were describing with Korn, Steve. You know it's a guitar, but…
VAI: I don't think they even have a bass player anymore.
ABASI: They do, but it's hard for him to find a place in the music. He just does unison notes sometimes. So as a guitar player, you hear this thing and it's like, Okay, I know that's a guitar, but why does it sound like that? What's happening with it? I was actually in music school at the time I got into eight-string. I did a one-year program at the Atlanta Institute of Music. Because I was learning about the fretboard as well, the idea of eight-string seemed less daunting. Long story short, I found a guitar builder—Jesse Hall, the illustrious luthier—and asked him if he wanted to do an eight-string. He said yeah, and it inspired some music. That guitar had a kind of elongated body. The top bout goes all the way up to the 12th fret or so. The body was the size of a bass guitar and the neck was 30 inches long. But all the eight-string material on the first Animals as Leaders album was written and performed on that guitar. So instantly, I started writing music with this new string. I'm still inspired by the amount of range on it.
To ask the devil's advocate question, why ain't six strings enough?
ABASI: It's a weird question. If you had a five-string guitar, you would produce music on that.
VAI: Six is enough, and eight is enough too. Whatever you want. Four can be enough. One can be enough, if you've got the imagination for it. But I do agree with Tosin. I've played eight-string guitars and, when you get down to it, there's a lot more options. There are chord voicings that you just cannot play on a six-string guitar. I'm using the seven-string on my new record. I've got these big, fat, seven-string voicings with tons of distortion, and when you can get them to speak right, it's something you just can't get out of a six-string.
With an eight-string, you've got an octave and a fifth below a standard guitar, or an octave and a fourth.
ABASI: Yeah, I do. And it's exactly what Steve is describing. It's these rich, complex chords. They don't necessarily have to be harmonically complex, but that amount of strings ringing out at the same time is really something.
VAI: A guitar just twangs. It's the resonance.
ABASI: But is the eight-string really a guitar? In a weird way, I was less concerned with playing the guitar than with just playing a stringed instrument. The six-string guitar can be characterized as a midrange instrument. But for me, the eight-string and its almost alien quality started to produce new musical ideas because it was un-guitarlike in a lot of ways. I like that, because of this idea of evolution and pushing things forward. Sometimes your tools can be responsible for that.


text: Ah that's more typical, having almost a month between entries...Been a fairly down period for me though. I wrapped up what was needed first for the GOVIA queue around the first of the month. It's got issues, but it can at least accept submissions again and allows for revision of metadata and commenting. Since then, much to Barbicane's dismay, I've been somewhat less than motivated. A combination of things, I think... On one hand, I'm working on code and assorted other hacks more and more at work, leaving me a little less enthused about spending my nights at the keyboard too. In addition, a cloud of depression has settled since the initial shock and emotional turmoil of having my wife leave... Kinda leaves me sitting at home half the time staring off into space. I've never been less productive. Even went so far last weekend as to go buy my first ever video game console, a PSOne, and Final Fantasy VII (watched my roommates play it while still in school, but never saw them finish...). Some mind-numbing, time-wasting entertainment is what I was after, and it definitely does the trick. Still, there are good days and there are bad days... What remains to be done with the GOVIA queue is sketched out on paper. I'm looking into getting a handle on CVS just to help me keep up with things... Getting to be too much trouble to eyeball what's changed between three or four different machines with files scattered here, there, everywhere. A bright spot over this period has been WOPN, streaming radio project of freenode (formerly Open Projects Network). My real interest in school was communication theory, so it's fascinating for me to simply observe the evolution of media.... I'm watching things happen now that I wrote about in my senior thesis four years ago. And not to give Barbicane a big head, but he's had some really great shows, the first 'talk radio' segments of WOPN, so to speak. Keeps things interesting, and of course, lively with the 'voices in his head' (folks in #wopn interacting in lagged real time with the 'ogg-jay'). Anywho... blah. Enough for now. On to some workish things.

The internal airflow of an H-PAS cabinet can be seen below.
(Click the "Play" button below to activate demo. Demo lasts about 10 seconds. Click again to repeat.)
Note the acceleration of the bass wave as it passes through the cabinet before it exits the vent. You can also see the internal bass trap filtering the signal for cleaner sound.
More Info:
Introduction to H-PAS Technology
A cornerstone of Atlantic Technology's mission is to introduce products embodying innovative technology that serves the needs of its customers. Everything we do is an attempt to markedly improve their acoustic performance, or make them easier to install and use, or increase their value by improving the cost-to-performance ratio.
Every once in a great while, a truly ground-breaking technology comes along that allows us to exceed all of these goals at once.
Our patented H-PAS is that kind of technological breakthrough.
H-PAS stands for Hybrid Pressure Acceleration System. It combines elements of several speaker technologies—acoustic suspension, bass reflex, inverse horn, and transmission line—in an exceptionally unique and innovative fashion to produce bass that absolutely breaks what was previously thought to be the "Iron Law" of loudspeaker acoustics: the notion that you couldn't have deep bass extension, good system sensitivity, and reasonable enclosure size all in one design. "Pick any two at the expense of the third," went the old cliché.
That is until now… H-PAS changes everything.
For a more complete technical explanation of how H-PAS works, click the "Description" tab above.
A Completely New — and Better — Way to Generate Bass
H-PAS does not require the use of special drivers, any kind of on-board electronics or outboard equalization -- it is a purely passive system, completely compatible with all AV receivers and stereo amplifiers.
Employing a unique cabinet design, the elements of the different speaker technologies are cascaded one to another in such a manner as to pressurize and accelerate the very lowest frequency back waves as they travel through the cabinet.
These waves are then radiated into the room through a vent at the lower front of the cabinet. There is an "acoustic crossover" from the vent to the bass drivers and the upper bass and midrange regions are propagated directly from the woofer's cone.
An important additional feature, integral to the design, is an "acoustic bass trap." Signals travel through this internal passive resonance/harmonic distortion line filter to further reduce unwanted distortion for clean, tight bass. As a result, the AT-1 delivers extended deep bass with high output levels, and exceptionally low harmonic distortion.
The central tenet of this new design approach is somewhat counterintuitive. Instead of using heavy, low-resonance drivers to achieve low bass, H-PAS utilizes quick, high-resonance bass drivers. The internal matrix of the cabinet takes the backwave of the driver below its resonance and pressurizes and accelerates it before it exits the vent. This acceleration increases the impact of the highly pressurized air flow in the enclosure when it leaves the vent. The result is both extended low bass and greatly improved dynamic range at such lower frequencies. The internal workings of the cabinet (using very specific, mathematically-derived ratios between the various cabinet/driver relationships) are such that the low frequency efficiency of the system actually increases with decreasing frequency—exactly the opposite of conventional system behavior, where output below resonance drops rapidly. H-PAS produces a reciprocal output of the high-resonance drivers' natural rolloff, yielding flat acoustic response to well below that of conventional designs using like-sized drivers and cabinets.
The use of lighter, higher-resonance woofers also means that the AT-1's H-PAS system exhibits lightning-fast transient response and incredible bass detail compared to the slower high-mass, low-resonance drivers needed to achieve reasonable deep bass extension in ordinary speakers.
In short, H-PAS technology provides greater extended low frequency range, and/or greater output, with increased dynamic range and impact at those extended low frequencies. It can be scaled to fit many size cabinets, small to large. Higher SPL's are inherent to the design, as is low distortion, which in turn negates any requirement for costly high-power amplification.

Salad: Punishment for being fat
That's really all I have to say about that. Without my cheese and Asiago Parmesan dressing (okay, and croutons), salad is not a happy place. You know that face most babies make when they taste their first pickle? I've done that a lot lately. I also do that when I see babies.
But whatever. I've lost 13 pounds. Leafy greens are a necessary evil if I want my new shoes soon and then my new tattoo. I got my dress…I can't find pictures of it online, but trust me. It's totally hot. Maybe not so much on me, but in general. It does make my boobs look good, though. You know you like it. Anyway…
I think pet owners can appreciate this. An open letter to my dog and cat:
I really don't need supervision when I pee. It actually makes me uncomfortable to have you follow me in and stare at me while I do my business. And cat, I really don't understand why pawing the shower curtain rapidly while standing on your back paws provides you so much entertainment, but as long as it does, I will continue to harass you and make you fall in the tub. I need my entertainment, too.
Dog, I'm sorry we used the Cesar Milan method of training on the cat and you don't understand that "TSSSSST!" means "Stop doing that before I fucking kill you." But it does. It does NOT mean come running because something fun is going to happen. Sure, watching the cat get yelled at probably has some level of satisfaction for you, but I don't always have time to stop and pet you when I'm busy trying to kill that damn feline.
Cat, seriously. Shut the fuck up. We love you. You are adorable and hilarious, but if you don't stop waking us up with your incessant mewing, you might die. It won't be our fault. We can't control sleep-induced rages. And about you, dog. When we yell at the cat to shut up, that does not mean you should get up and start tap dancing around our bed. If I don't get some sleep soon, you will both be locked out of the room – in places we won't be able to hear your scratching, tapping or mewing.
Dog, I know you need more walks. However, I can't control the weather and no one likes a stinky wet dog. When it clears up, we'll go. I promise. In the meantime, please stop giving me those eyes. It breaks my heart.
Cat, letting Mr. T pet you all night and then curling up on my legs to sleep is NOT equal treatment. I want my fair share of snuggle time or I will continue to roll around on purpose to get you to leave. And it's really not fair for you to sleep on the dog bed. He's bigger than you and isn't allowed on the bed or couches. That's just selfish and mean. I know you're evil…I just wish you wouldn't take it out on your brother.
Dog, you can totally take him. Cat is much smaller and not very coordinated, really. The next time he waits for you around the corner and smacks the crap out of you, give him a little one-two to the head. That'll teach him. But don't hurt him – just show him who's boss.
Oh, and both of you – I know you're secretly friends. Busted.

Sadly there is not much finding going on in north centeral maryland.
I thought Jobare1's idea of a common area thread was a great idea so here goes.
I went to the WM at Potomac Mills this morning since others had luck there yesterday and not a single AOTC figure was in sight. I saw about 8 boxes that said "Do Not Open Until April 23rd" on a pallet and asked the woman stocking toys when they would be out and she just smiled. She left to answer a call so I opened the top box and found the remaining 8 I needed and went to the cashier. They rang up "Do Not Sell" and I explained that I had bought several two days ago. So she called for help and the Head Cashier said they were recalled and could not sell them, regardless of any previous purchase. So I left empty handed.
The Springfield WM had nothing as well.
The search continues
If you guys need any of the new deluxe figs or 25th anniversary figs I have found them on clearence at Target in Glen Burnie. They also had the Rebel Trooper and FX-7 for 3.40. Not a bad deal.
I forgot to mention they also had an opened case of 100 (?) piece AOTC puzzles, which I passed right over
Sorry to hear about the wasted trip this morning, but I also went there around 6:30 this morning, just to see if they were still there and I found the exact same thing........5 empty shelves. I guess someone there finally got the message about not selling/displaying them. I wish I had access to the internet at work, I probably could have saved ya a trip.
P.S. - which collection did you find.
Does this only apply for Hasbro toys or is this lego as well? I am planning on heading down to a store that had the gunship lego the other day and pick one up, but i don't want to go if i am going to get turned back at the register.
I would assume that this would also apply to the Lego's too. I was in the Pot. Mills WalMart about 2 weeks ago and found a whole pallet filled with AOTC Lego boxes as well as a couple of Jedi Starfighter boxes. This pallet was being plastic wrapped and taken to the back and I've never seen any of the Lego sets on display at the store. Then again, this is the store where I got both coll. 1 & 2 figures a couple of days ago, but they've since pulled them all.
I'm not saying that they're not gonna be there, but I highly doubt it and chances are that if it is there, will it ring up at the register?
In case anyone cares, I found the FX-7 Wave at KB Toys in the Laurel Mall. There were 2 of each (queen decoy, FX-7, Rebel Trooper, Imperial Officer) at $7.99 each.
Also, the Electronics Botique had POTJ figures marked down to $2.99. I picked up Duros and Bespin Leia.
I just found the new ATOC Cereal at Wies Mt. Airy. They had one with Obi/Jango and another with Count dooku/anakin/padme on the fronts. They also have Star Wars Adventure game on the back. They had a new picture of the Jedi Libary on the back.
I found the EP II puzzels at the Walmart in Ellicott City. They had been put out on the shelf. I didn't buy any so I'm not sure if they would have rang up at the cash register.

Those pesky little images with quirky letter that you usually have to try two or three times before you actually can prove that you are a human and not a script trying to act as one. Apart from the embarrassment of having your human status questioned, it is also a time drain for no appearent reason to you as a user.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Mass Surveillance Technologies
In Light of Hacking Team Leaks, EFF and Latin American Civil Society Groups Call for Greater Oversight of Surveillance Technology
The digital security community has been reacting this week to leaked documents from italian surveillance company Hacking Team. The documents, which include lists of contracts and sales pitches to some of the worst authoritarian regimes and countries with weak democracies, show a global industry of sales to states of software that can invade and spy on personal computers and mobile devices almost without limit. Buried in that data was information that reveals a disturbing trade in such technology across Latin America. EFF, Derechos Digitales, Fundacion Karisma, R3D and our colleagues in the region have issued a statement to Latin American governments, demanding more transparency on how Latin American states are using -- or misusing -- spyware like that sold by Hacking Team.
EFF Files Amicus Brief in Case That Seeks to Hold IBM Responsible for Facilitating Apartheid in South Africa
EFF defends rights in the digital world. But what about when the digital world enables violations of human rights? We think that's important, too. That's why we filed an amicus brief in In Re: South African Apartheid, a case that seeks to hold IBM's headquarters in New York responsible for purposefully facilitating apartheid, by creating a computerized national ID system that the South African government used to strip the country's black population of its rights as citizens.
As we point out in our brief:
The Obama Administration is on a roll with proposing legislation that endangers our privacy and security. Over the course of two days, President Obama proposed a cybersecurity bill that looks awfully similar to the now infamous CISPA (with respect to information sharing), a computer crime bill that is the opposite of our own proposed computer crime reform, and a data breach law weaker than the current status quo. All three of the bills are recycled ideas that have failed in Congress since their introduction in 2011. They should stay on the shelf.
Zombie Bill Dead in 2013, Stumbles from the Grave in 2015
Despite the fact that there is no conclusive evidence that camera surveillance is an effective deterrent against crime, the movement towards a pervasive surveillance state continues in many Latin American countries. Surveillance technologies such as drones are gaining popularity, raising significant concerns for privacy and civil liberties.
Drones Across The Continent
EFF has a long running-mission to Encrypt the Web. To make the Web more secure, more private, and more censorship-resistant, we need to completely replace the insecure HTTP protocol with HTTPS. That task saw some major progress last week, with the anouncement by CloudFlare that it will now make HTTPS free and available by default for the approximately two million sites that it serves.

Special to the NNPA from The Washington Informer
"You may shoot me with your words,
you may cut me with your eyes,
you may kill me with your hatefulness,
but still, like air, I'll rise." — Maya Angelou, "Still I Rise," 1978
On the day Maya Angelou died at her home in Winston Salem, North Carolina, Dr. Eleanor W. Traylor remembered the joyous, caring, ebullient woman she'd known since the mid-1960s.
Traylor, a Northwest resident and retired English professor and former chairman of Howard University's English Department, tried to compose herself as she reminisced about their friendship and the considerable legacy crafted by Angelou over the course of 86 years.
"Oh, I will remember her as the finest representation of a marvelous generation," said Traylor, 79, who fought tears all day and repeatedly paused to sob as she spoke about her dear friend.
"Her life spanned the civil rights movement and the Black Arts movement to the present. What she left to us in the way of contributions and language, as well as in community building is inestimable," Traylor said. "She blotted out the language of diminishment and influenced the public discourse. Her grace, her elegance, her at-home-ness, gave us the image of her we hold. That's my most powerful memory."
Angelou, born in St. Louis, Missouri, on April 4, 1928, immersed herself in the arts.
She danced, acted, belted out songs, penned soaring poetry and captivating novels that chronicled some of the horrors of her young life and her ability to rise above circumstances that might have crippled others.
Traylor recalled meeting Angelou for the first time when she appeared in a two-woman Broadway play with Geraldine Page.
"I met her ages ago at that time when she was with Geraldine Page in a production about Mary Todd Lincoln," said Traylor, who served as chairman of Howard's English Department from 1993-2009.
"I met her at a party right after her production. I remember her entrance in a full-length sable coat. We became friends. It was a kind of literary generation with people like Rosa Gee, Paule Marshall, Toni Cade Bambara, Larry Neal and Imira Baraka."
Traylor, a noted scholar and critic in African-American literature and criticism, said the friendship grew and blossomed over time and she said she enjoyed the texture and vibrancy of their association.
Angelou's 1970 memoir, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," describing her childhood in the Jim Crow South and the racism and abuse she suffered, cemented her literary reputation.
In an artistic career arc of more than 60 years, Angelou penned over 30 books of poems, essays and autobiographies, danced with Alvin Ailey's dance company, sang Calypso, regaled audiences with cabaret songs and served as a director for both television and film.
A winner of three Grammy Awards for spoken-word recordings of her poetry and prose, Angelou read an original poem at President Bill Clinton's first inauguration and delivered a poem written to mark the Million Man March in October 1995.
Traylor said Angelou had the uncanny ability to find joy and to project goodness despite having endured a blistering childhood.

Madison mayors endorse Barrett in recall election
Democratic primary is May 8
MADISON, Wis. - Democratic candidate for governor Tom Barrett has received endorsements from Madison's mayor as well as the city's previous four mayors in the race to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
Barrett's campaign said Sunday that Mayor Paul Soglin and former mayors Dave Cieslewicz, Sue Bauman, Joe Sensenbrenner and Joel Skornicka have all announced their support for Barrett in the recall election.
"I am so proud to have earned the backing of this diverse group of leaders," Barrett said in a news release. "These five mayors understand we need a partner in the governor's office who will work with, not against, local officials to create jobs, balance budgets and move our state forward. I am honored to have their support."
Last week, Barrett received his first endorsements from unions in the recall race. Barrett said he got the backing of the Amalgamated Transit Union, Operating Engineers Local 317, and the Iron Workers District Council of North Central States. Collectively the three unions represent about 5,000 people.
His rival Kathleen Falk has scored the biggest union endorsements to date, getting backing from the AFL-CIO, the largest statewide public workers union and the union representing teachers.
Both Barrett and Falk say they are committed to restoring collective bargaining rights that were taken away last year by a plan Walker introduced. That largely motivated the recall election.
Besides Falk and Barrett, state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout and Secretary of State Doug La Follette are also running as Democrats in the governor's race.
The Democratic primary is May 8 and the general election is June 5.

Tetsuya Yamato, Erika Kamimura Have October Fights Announced
- Written by Dave Walsh
A WBC Muay Thai Japan event has been announced for October 2nd at Korakuen Hall and will be headlined by a super fight between K-1 MAX -63kg 2010 Champion Tetsuya Yamato and WBC Muay Thai World Featherweight Champion and Rajadamnern Stadium Super Featherweight Champion Jomthong Chuwattana. Yamato is coming off of a TKO victory over Coke Chunhawat at the M-1 Grand Muay Thai Championship event in California a couple weeks ago. He also lost to Koya Urabe in the semifinals of the 2011 K-1 Japan tournament after beating HIROYA in the quarters. Jomthong is undefeated in 2011 and on a 8 fight win streak which includes a defense of his Rajadamnern Stadium title and a pair of wins over Nong-O Sit Or, as well as a TKO win in a boxing match.
In the co-main event, the "Strongest Female High School Student" Erika Kamimura will take on WBC Muay Thai International Mini-Flyweight Champion Denise Mellor. Kamimura was last seen storming through the Shootboxing Girls S-Cup Japan Preliminary Tournament, taking out Kanako Oka and Miyo Yosihda by TKO and Seo Hee Ham in the finals by decision. Mellor won the WBC International title in the UK over Annie Errikson in July. Hopefully Kamimura comes out of the fight with little to no injuries as she has a scheduled fight with RENA at the RISE event on 11/23.
Also announced for the card is an interesting matchup between WBC Japan and NJKF Super Featherweight Champion Rashata and former AJKF and J-Network Featherweight Champion Hiromasa Masuda. Rashata had a great 2010, surprising many with wins over former AJKF Featherweight Champions Hisanori Maeda, Genki Yamamoto and Masahiro Yamamoto, so that could be a bit of foreshadowing for this fight. More recently, he lost to Kanongsuk Weerasakreck by decision. Masuda also lost to Kanongsuk last June and is winless in his last 3 fights, taking a draw at the first It's Showtime Japan event. {jcomments on}

Amazon Confirms EC2/S3 Not PCI Level 1 Compliant 157
Jason writes "After months of digging though speculation and polar opposite opinions from PCI experts, I finally sent a direct request to Amazon's AWS sales team asking if they are in fact PCI compliant and will provide documentation attesting that they are as is required by PCI guidlines. I fully expecting them to dodge the question and refer me to a QSA, but to my relief, they replied with a refreshingly honest and absolute confirmation that it is currently impossible to meet PCI level 1 compliance using AWS services for card data storage. They also very strong suggest that cardnumbers never be stored on EC2 or S3 as those services are inherently noncompliant. For now at least, the official verdict is if you need to process credit cards, the Amazon cloud platform is off the table."

Remains of Stability II is a work from the Remains series.The Remains series was inspired by a number of photos made as part of a metal fatigue research, a field in which there are high tensions and deformations, resulting in interesting forms and textures. Later, some images from the trivial round were added, but now subsumed under the main theme. The idea was to aestheticize the remains i.e. things that are utilized and already useless. However, in the work process, it turned out that trivial objects could carry additional and more complex meanings. Being a result of the change they put us directly into the time stream. We could imagine, what the things were like, how they slowly changed and how they will disappear we could become aware of the course of time. On the other hand, we could take these deformed objects, this tired matter as a metaphor of the end of the industrial society along with its pretensions and its impudence.

I'm stickin with the Hevi-13 #6 in my 20 ga. Beretta. Tried patterning the Magnum Blend in #5,6,7 and they didn't do as well. Guess my little "pop gun" doesn't like 'em.

For some reason my 2 yr old will not let me trim his nails, it started when he was a pup. I do not remember what happened but he has always disliked the nail clippers.
Looking for suggestions, I have purchased two sets of clippers, tried using treats. Also tried the dremel tool with round sand disk. Everytime I get close he pulls away
thanks for any help

Eric Forsman tramped across the spongy ground with one ear tipped to the tangled branches above. We were circling an isolated Douglas fir and cedar stand near Mary's Peak, the highest point in Oregon's Coast Range, scouring the trees for a puff of tobacco-hued feathers. I had come to see one of the planet's most-studied birds—the Northern spotted owl—with the man who brought the animal to the world's attention.
From This Story
Related Content
Forsman stopped. "You hear it?" he asked. I didn't. Above the twitter of winter wrens I caught only the plunk of a creek running through hollow logs. Then Forsman nodded at a scraggly hemlock. Twenty feet off the ground, a cantaloupe-size spotted owl stared back at us. "It's the male," he whispered.
Before I could speak, Forsman was gone. The 61-year-old U.S. Forest Service biologist zipped down one fern-slippery hill and up another. For years, he'd explained, this bird and its mate pumped out babies like fertile field mice, producing more offspring than other spotted owls in the range. Forsman wanted to reach their nest to see if this year's eggs had hatched—and survived.
Every chick counts, because spotted owls are vanishing faster than ever. Nearly 20 years after Forsman's research helped the federal government boot loggers off millions of acres to save the threatened owls, nature has thrown the birds a curveball. A bigger, meaner bird—the barred owl—now drives spotted owls from their turf. Some scientists and wildlife managers have called for arming crews with decoys, shotguns and recorded bird songs in an experimental effort to lure barred owls from the trees and kill them.
To Forsman and other biologists, the bizarre turn is not a refutation of past decisions but a sign of the volatility to come for endangered species in an increasingly erratic world. As climate chaos disrupts migration patterns, wind, weather, vegetation and river flows, unexpected conflicts will arise between species, confounding efforts to halt or slow extinctions. If the spotted owl is any guide, such conflicts could come on quickly, upend the way we save rare plants and animals, and create pressure to act before the science is clear. For spotted owls "we kind of put the blinders on and tried to only manage habitat, hoping things wouldn't get worse," Forsman said. "But over time the barred owl's influence became impossible to ignore."
When I finally hauled myself up to Forsman, yanking on roots for balance, I found him squatting on the ground looking at the curious female spotted owl. The bird, perched unblinking on a low branch not ten feet away, hooted a rising scale as if whistling through a slide flute. Her partner fluttered in and landed on a nearby branch.
Both creatures stared intently at Forsman, who absently picked at a clump of fur and rodent bones—an owl pellet regurgitated by one of the birds. Moments later the female launched herself to a tree crevice some 40 feet off the ground. Her head bobbed as she picked at her nest. Over the next hour, we looked through binoculars hoping to spy a chick.
It was here, not half a mile away, above a trickle of runoff called Greasy Creek, that Forsman saw his first spotted owl nest in 1970. He had grown up chasing great horned owls in the woods outside an old strawberry farm near Eugene, and as an undergraduate at Oregon State University he prowled the forests in search of rare breeds. One day he shimmied up a tree and poked his head inside a crack. He escaped with brutal talon marks on his cheek and one of the earliest recorded glimpses of a spotted owl nest. He also scooped up a sick chick—its eyes were crusted shut—planning to nurse it back to health and return it to its nest. When he came back, though, the adult birds had vanished, so Forsman raised the baby bird himself. It lived in a cage outside his home for 31 years.
Drawn by the romance of this obscure creature that hides in dark woods, Forsman became a spotted owl expert. He was the first to note that the birds nest primarily in the cavities of ancient trees or in the broken-limbed canopies of old-growth forests, where they feast on wood rats, red tree voles, flying squirrels and deer mice. Logging of the Pacific Northwest's conifers accelerated during the post-World War II housing boom and continued afterward. Forsman and a colleague, biologist Richard Reynolds, warned Congress and the U.S. Forest Service that shrinking forests threatened the owl's existence. They sent one of their first letters, to then-Senator Bob Packwood of Oregon, in 1973.
The owl population crash finally began in the 1980s, about the time the environmental movement was finding its footing. In an effort to save what remained of the old-growth forests the birds needed to survive, radical environmentalists pounded steel or ceramic spikes into firs, which threatened to destroy chain saws and mill blades. They donned tree costumes to attract attention to their cause and crawled into tree platforms to disrupt logging. Counter-protests erupted. In angry mill towns, café owners provocatively served "spotted owl soup" and shops sold T-shirts and bumper stickers ("Save a Logger, Eat an Owl"). There were lawsuits, and, in 1990, the Northern subspecies of spotted owl came under the Endangered Species Act (two subspecies in other parts of the country were not affected). A sweeping federal court ruling in 1991 closed much of the Northwest woods to logging. By the end of the century, timber harvest on 24 million acres of federal land had dropped 90 percent from its heyday. The spotted owl crystallized the power of the species-protection law. No threatened animal has done more to change how we use land.

"The Egyptian government blamed its bitter political rivals, the Muslim Brotherhood, for the Mansoura attack, despite ABM's claim of responsibility…. With significant support for their actions against the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian government may not even care if ABM takes credit. With crowds calling for the Muslim Brotherhood's 'execution' after Friday's attack, to some respect it makes sense politically for the government to blame supporters of fallen Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi, who continue to partake in efforts to delegitimize the new regime. This is why Cairo, which believes it is in an existential battle, declared the Brotherhood a terrorist organization shortly after the Mansoura bombing."
Shortly after 6:30am in Egypt on Friday, a massive car bomb detonated outside the Cairo Security Directorate. The attack killed at least four people and wounded more than 70, Egypt's Health Ministry said. In the hours that followed at least three additional explosions were reported in the Cairo area with reports of two more fatalities and scores wounded.
In the immediate aftermath of the first attack, some Egypt observers, myself included, said the car bombing was likely the work of the Sinai-based jihadist group Ansar Bayt al Maqdis (ABM). In a statement released to jihadist forums Friday night, ABM claimed responsibility for all of the attacks. While some may question the veracity of the claim, a couple data points support the idea that ABM was in fact responsible for attacks that appeared to leave Egyptian authorities chasing ghosts.

The 118,000-strong Druze community in Israel represents a rich,
ancient culture and faith that has made a great contribution to Israel
over the years. Their towns and holy places, located in beautiful
mountain settings from Mount Carmel in the west to the Upper Galilee and
the Golan Heights in the east, invite visitors to steep themselves in
tradition and enjoy traditional hospitality.
The Druze faith, an offshoot of Islam accented by ancient Greek
philosophy and other traditions, was founded in Fatimid Egypt at the end
of the 10th century. Among the faith's first leaders were Hamza Ben-Ali
and Mohammad al-Darazi. The popular name of the faith, Druze, stems
from the latter's name, however the Druze call themselves Al-Muwahidun,
from the Arabic word "unity," which stresses their monotheism, or
Al-Ma'aruf, which comes from the word "knowledge." The Druze believe
that Hamza was the last of those chosen by God to reveal God's truth to
humanity, preceded by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed.
Eventually, the center of the faith moved from Egypt to Lebanon and
Syria and gained new believers, particularly in the region around Mount
Hermon. By the mid-11th century, it closed to new members. To this day,
one cannot convert to the Druze faith, which believes that Druze souls
are continuously reincarnated.
To avoid persecution in its early days, the Druze guarded the secrets
of the faith among a select few. To this day these individuals, both
men and women, known as "ukal", are chosen by community leaders based
chiefly on their moral lifestyle, and may then delve into the Druze
sacred books. Druze religious men can be recognized by their shaven
heads, white skullcap and dark pantaloons. Religious women wear dark
dresses and white head-scarves.
Other than life-cycle events, the Druze have few ceremonies. They do
attend a prayer-house, or hilwa, make vows to God for healing and other
needs, and celebrate pilgrimage days to the leaders of their faith,
including Nebi Shueib (Jethro), Nebi Yaf'ouri, Nebi Sabalan, Abu
Abdullah, El-Khader and Nebi Zakariya. Among their prohibitions are
alcohol consumption and gambling. They are fiercely loyal to their
home-countries; in Israel, the Druze young men serve in the Israel
Defense Forces.
The Druze flag flies at all their holy sites and in their towns,
frequently alongside the Israeli flag. The five colors of the flag are
said to represent the leader Hamza and the four prime proclaimers of the
faith. Another interpretation is that green symbolizes nature; red –
the heart; yellow – wheat; blue – water and sky; and white – purity.
At Druze holy sites, which are almost always open, visitors must
remove their shoes before entering, and dress modestly (long-sleeved
shirts and head coverings are usually to be found near the entrance).
Photographs are prohibited inside.

Apple's Phil Schiller Defends iPad mini's $329 Starting Price

Don't hate the playa, hate the game
Reaction to the
introduction of the iPad mini yesterday
was decidedly mixed. On the one hand, many Apple faithful praised the launch of the new tablet, which is half the weight of the third and fourth generation iPads, and can be palmed with one hand. On the other hand, many complained that it was simply a shrunken down iPad 2 with the same lackluster screen resolution. It also didn't help that many people felt that the 16GB iPad mini was overpriced at $329.
For example,
Amazon's 7" Kindle Fire HD
is priced at "only" $199, while a
32GB Google Nexus 7 will cost you $249
. Even Barnes and Noble is hanging around in the budget realm with the
7" Nook HD
, which is priced at $229. All of the aforementioned tablets have a higher screen resolution than the iPad mini.
With all the criticism of the iPad mini's pricing and specs, Apple' Phil Schiller has come to the rescue to defend Apple's newest tablet entry.
"The iPad is far and away the most successful product in its category. The most affordable product we've made so far was $399 and people were choosing that over those devices," said Schiller in an interview with
"And now you can get a device that's even more affordable at $329 in this great new form, and I think a lot of customers are going to be very excited about that."
Schiller believes that the $130 price premium over some competing tablets is worth it, and that the iPad mini will sell on its merits alone, not needing to compete on price. Apple points to the fact that the iPad mini is lighter, thinner, and has better built quality than the plastic-clad competition. And of course, Apple also points to 275,000 tablet-specific apps for the iPad platform versus a plethora of "stretched phone apps" for Android devices.
So, will customers buy into Apple's strategy?
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

Specializing in creating unique, high quality textiles and accessories for the home, Zuzunaga is pioneering what they refer to as supermodern design. Inspired by contemporary architecture, their work performs a very modern kind of alchemy, transforming the analog into the digital, and back again.
Many of Zuzunaga's designs start with a photograph of a modern city-scape. The photo is then compressed into a digital, black and white bitmap, after which a small section of the photo is enlarged to the point where individual pixels become visible. The enlarged section is meticulously colorized, pixel by pixel and the final design is printed or woven into the next Zuzunaga product.
Founded in 2007 by artist and designer Cristian Zuzunaga, whose unique philosophy challenges the meaninglessness of supermodern excess, Barcelona based Zuzunaga creates bright, dynamic textiles from traditional fibers that demand to be touched and played with. Zuzunaga also seeks to put human experience at the center of their products, from conception, through production, and finally to consumption. To that end, many of Zuzunaga's products are hand woven by a company just outside Barcelona called Teixidors. Started as a social project in 1983, Teixidors employs people with a wide range of learning disabilities and at risk of social exclusion, teaching them the art of hand-weaving while developing an exceptional product. Additionally Zuzunaga produces locally in Europe with trusted manufacturers and sources their materials ecologically and sustainably.
Zuzunaga's ultimate goal is to capture the present moment in objects around us, designing products which shape and are shaped by the moment we live in now.
Born in Barcelona, London-based Cristian Zuzunaga studied Typo/Graphic Design at the London College of Communiciation followed by an MA in Communication Art & Design at the Royal College of Art in London. His final degree show was a collaboration with a menswear designer based on the pixel - the icon of our time - and Supermodern Architecture.
Since 2004, Cristian Zuzunaga has been looking at the city as a metaphor, a living organism that evolves and changes in a way that reflects our own evolution. Using architecture and the way global cities such as Barcelona, London, New York or Shanghai are constructed inspires and gives form to his unique visual vocabulary. He uses a combination of graphic design with letterpress and screen-printing techniques to create colorful visual landscapes.
His clients include Kvadrat, Ligne Roset, Christophe Delcourt, Tate Gallery and nanimarquina.View other products by Cristian Zuzunaga

Grilled shrimp, oranges and onion make a tasty trio to top spinach greens. An orange ginger mix marinates the shrimp and dresses the salad.
Use a small sharp knife to peel the orange, starting at the top; be sure to remove all the white pith from the fruit. To section an orange, gently slice on both sides of the orange section membrane.
The shrimp, orange wedges and onion wedges can be grilled in a grill basket instead of on skewers.
The Orange Marinade and Dressing can be prepared one day ahead;
cover and refrigerate.

Mallards move into first following victory
Mallards beat Bombers in Battle Creek
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - The Madison Mallards are back in first place after beating the Battle Creek Bombers in Michigan Sunday.
Right fielder Tate Matheny and third baseman John LaPrise combined to get four RBI's and seven hits to help the Mallards beat the Bombers 10-2 in Battle Creek.
The win combined with a loss from the Lakeshore Chinooks to put the Mallards back into first place in the Northwoods League South Division Standings.
Mallards starter Taylore Cherry pitched three innings and allowed one run. But he struggled with his command and issued four walks. Sam Forkert came in relief of Cherry to earn the win. He threw three innings with three strikeouts and one walk in relief of Cherry.
The Mallards have one more game with the Bombers Monday night before finishing up the first half schedule with two games at La Crosse on July 2nd and July 3rd.

Thread: Did I do something stupid?
Dudes, this fish was "rescued," got her own tank, and then died on me nearly a week ago. There is another thread documenting that nightmare.
I impulse-bought the fish. Totally unwise thing to do. Won't do it again. Although, thanks to that impulse bought Daisy, I now really like female bettas and will have another once I find a good supplier and a good fish. We already have all the equipment, so may as well use it.
So anyway, long story short, I'd never recommend impulsive buying or "rescuing" of anything, including fish. It turned out badly in this case. But I found a new type of fish my family and I enjoy, and will take care of properly.

Track Foreprint 34 1/4" (75110 mm) long, almost as wide; hindprint slightly smaller; both with 4 toes, no claws showing. Because of well-furred paws, prints are much larger and rounder than Bobcat's; prints are especially large when toe pads spread and blur in powdery snow. Toe pads smaller, more widely spaced than those of other cats. Straddle usually less than 7" (175 mm). Normal stride 1416" (350400 mm), but may have long gaps, as Lynx occasionally leaps as if practicing pounce.
Sign Leaves scratches on low, tree-trunk "scratching post." Covers its kills with a thin layer of snow or litter. Creates scent posts by urinating on trees and stumps.
Scat: Similar to a domestic dog's, but more segmented. Divisions between segments run straight across (diagonal in dogs).
