Question #89671 posted on 05/18/2017 1:04 a.m.
Dear 100 Hour Board,
Dear 100 Hour Board,
I've got 3 days in Tokyo at the end of June. Have any of you ever been there? What things are there to do and where should I stay while I'm there? Any food that I simply must have? I don't have a huge budget so cheap suggestions would be preferred. You guys are the best!
-The Happy Medium
Dear Felicia,
That's so exciting! My sister is just finishing three years on an Air Force base in Japan and I never visited her, so I'm a little jealous of your trip.
My sister's recommendations include:
"A food you should try is Yakitori. It is basically chicken on a stick and you can buy it at any Family Mart or convenience store. Also something you can find at Family Mart is a little chocolate treat called black thunder. It's my favorite Japanese treat.
A must have experience in Tokyo is the equivalent of Time Square in NYC and its called Shinjuku. You need to be there in the evenings and see the hoards of people crossing the streets in all directions at the same time. Also, you should take the subway to get there. It is the busiest system in the world moving 3.4 million people a day. They squeeze more people into the train than you could ever imagine would fit. Try it with kids...it's an amazing adventure.
I have also heard Ueno park is a nice experience."
I also asked a friend who is there on a study abroad now. She hasn't yet been to Tokyo but part of the planned activities are going to the Ghibli museum and Akihabara.
And then Google apparently has a ton of "see Tokyo in 3 days" results. Here's just a few:
I hope you have a good trip! Feel free to email me pictures so I can see what you end up doing and adventure vicariously through you.
Take care,
-Auto Surf

I remember being angry with influential people stating we need to be responsible for the things that happen to us. It was a common things to say we needed to be grateful for all our experiences be they good or bad. This idea was first introduced to me when the movie The Secret first came out. I felt it was absurd to consider yourself responsible for another's action against you, no matter what the circumstances. I still do, however it does make sense to consider we are responsible for how we choose to respond to things that happen to us.
Please share your thoughts on the matter.
Do you feel we are responsible for everything that happens to us?


text: Ok. So I just got off a half hour conversation with AT&T and We cant figure out for the life of the phone, why MMS messages cannot be sent. Although, when they did send me a small AT&T logo I did receive it. And When I sent that to myself, it did send and I received it again. I then took out my SIM and put it in my BlackBerry 9700 and MMS sent find and received fine. Any size picture. I then took a picture with the camera on the Captive in Fine, Normal and Super Fine. And each picture I tried to send to myself. Each said Compressing picture and when I go to send it, it stays on sending. That guy got so fed up he told me to Google it lol. So I did, and I see some others are having the same issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

After an important win against the Nashville Predators, the St. Louis Blues battled another Central Division foe. This time they faced the Winnipeg Jets.
It took 0:35 for the Blues to break-the-ice. Alex Pietrangelo stuck with a fumbling puck, then knocked it past Michael Hutchinson to give the Blues a 1-0 lead.
Although the Blues escaped the first period ahead of the Jets, the second period was a nightmare. Patrik Lane, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Mark Stuart registered goals in the first three minutes of the period. One goal bounced off a Blues player, and another was reviewed, then declared a goal even though Allen caught the puck.
About one minute later, Ivan Barbashev and Jori Lehtera entered the offensive zone on a 2-on-1. Barbashev took the puck wide, then dished it past a Winnipeg defenseman to Lehtera. Jori pumped it past Hutchinson with a one-timer to make it 3-2 in favor of the Jets.
Winnipeg outshot the Blues 20 to 13 after two periods.
Two more goals came from Jets players in the third. The first was scored by Mark Scheifele. Then Laine grabbed his second of the night and 36th of the season to extend the Jets' lead to 5-2, which would be the final score.
While Allen's stats from the game aren't too hot, his teammates made it known that Allen is the reason it wasn't 10-2.
"We played a lot of good hockey but we got away with a lot, too," said Allen, who was mercifully pulled after the fifth goal. "Tonight we didn't execute very well."
The last time the Blues allowed five goals against a team was on Jan. 31, when they lost to the Winnipeg Jets. Ken Hitchcock was fired after that game.
"We have three games left here before we're in the playoffs, so I think we need to find our game," said Pietrangelo. "The last 15 or 16 games we really played the game that we want to play."
The Blues are heading to Florida for a matchup against the Panthers on Thursday.

Boy (14) at centre of high-speed chase across four counties 'so small he could barely see over the steering wheel'
A 14-year-old boy was arrested after breaking out of a care facility and stealing a car before bringing gardaí on a 100km chase across four counties.
So concerned were responding officers for other motorists' safety along the busy M7 motorway, they stopped all traffic entering the southern bound carriageway from Roscrea, Co Tipperary, to Limerick city as the pursuit continued.
The teen stole the keys of a staff member's car at a care facility in Mountrath, Co Laois, on Thursday evening before fleeing in their Volkswagen Passat. Gardaí were notified just after 4pm.
The boy drove the Passat at "great speed" southbound on the M7 as officers pursued the vehicle through four counties - Laois, Tipperary, Offaly, back into Tipperary and Limerick.
Sources have revealed the boy is so small "he could barely see over the steering wheel" of the stolen car.
Gardaí deployed units along motorway entrance points from Roscrea to Limerick to prevent other road users from being on the motorway.
"It was like 'Smokey and the Bandit, ' with all the roads closed for him as he sped through with gardaí pursuing," a source said.
The chase came to a dramatic end on the outskirts of Limerick city after road blocks were set up and the teen was forced to a halt.
No one was injured in the incident and the boy was arrested. He has since been released and sources say gardaí are hoping to press charges.

LV= Cup: Worcester director of rugby Dean Ryan relieved after first victory
Dean Ryan admitted the Warriors certainly felt pressure en route to claiming their first win of the season on Friday
Last Updated: 08/11/13 11:32pm
The midlanders beat Cardiff Blues 21-16 at the Arms Park to help lessen to gloom around Sixways.
Worcester have lost all seven league games they have played so far this season and are currently nine points adrift at the base of the Premiership table.
Ryan said: "Let's not pretend we've solved everything tonight.
"But we've got a win and we've got a few youngsters playing - so that's good.
"I thought the first-half performance was excellent.
"But the second half showed some of our vulnerabilities under pressure and that just shows where we are and how we're growing.
"We had to make a few changes in the second half, which didn't help our momentum but to come away from here and get a result is very pleasing."
Blues defence coach Dale McIntosh added: "We let them into the game by missing one-on-one tackles.
"Our systems were fine but we allowed them to build a lead and it was a big job to pull it back.
"But their attitude and intent in the second half were excellent."

Saudi with UK residency likely to be released from Guantanamo soon
Shaker Aamer, a Saudi with residency status in Britain, is expected to be released from Guantanamo in June. He has a British wife and four children in London.
The UK has made repeated requests for Aamer's release. The 48-year-old Aamer is accused of having been a key recruiter and financier for Al Qaeda while in Britain and to have worked for Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan. However, he has been held in Guantanamo for 13 years without charge. A US government officialtold AFP that Aamer would be released along with up to 10 other detainees.A new commander Rear Admiral Fernandez Ponds will take over the command of the facility in July. There are still 122 men held prisoner. 57 have been classified as "releasable" by a review committee, including Aamer. Obama promised to close the prison even during his first presidential campaign. Congress has continually blocked Obama's attempts to take actions that could lead to closing the base. The base is technically Cuban territory but has been leased from Cuba since 1903 at a cost of just over $4,000 annually but the Cuban revolutionary government has refused to cash the checks. Cuba considers the lease arrangement not binding. Recent normalization of relations with Cuba do not include the return of the base to Cuba. Recently considerable investment and upgrades to the base have been made indicating the prison is not likely to close for some time even if the plan is to transfer the 57 cleared for release out of the facility Lieutenant Colonel Myles Caggins, a Pentagon spokesperson said:48 of those to be transferred are Yemenis who will not be repatriated in spite of continual protests for them to be returned to Yemen. With the present conflict in Yemen, the US will be even less likely to allow them back to Yemen. The US has had trouble finding host countries but Uruguay accepted a number and Oman, Estonia, Slovakia, and Georgia have also accepted prisoners. The one place you can be sure will not accept them is the United States which jailed them in the first place.Campaigners in the UK for Aamer's release were heartened by the news but noted that Aamer had been cleared for release eight years ago by the Bush administration and then again under Obama in 2009 but nothing has happened. Karla McLaren, of Amnesty International in the UK, noted:Supporters of Aamer claim that he was detained in Kabul in 2001 while doing volunteer work for an Islamic charity. They say he was handed over to US military in exchange for money and then tortured at a secret "black site" prison. He denies accusations he helped finance Al Qaeda. Aamer wants to return to the UK but Washington wants to send him to Saudi Arabia. He fears he would be tortured there. Given that he has a wife and four children in the UK it surely makes sense to send him there. Aamer's lawyer say UK and US authorities want to silence Aamer who claims to have witnessed abuse in the presence of UK security official.The Daily Mail in the UK has long campaigned on behalf of Aamer. Aamer's family says that if he comes to the UK he will be quite willing to face a UK to answer any charges he is a dangerous extremist. Apparently, Washington does not want that either.The Mail discovered documents that showed, David Milliband, when foreign secretary in the Labor government, had plotted to hand Aamer over to Saudi authorities if he were released while leading his UK family to believe he was trying to have him returned to them in Britain. It will be interesting to see where Aamer ends up, in the UK, or Saudi Arabia. Given past experience he may even end up staying in Guantanamo. The appended video deals with another detainee in Guantanamo who wrote and published a diary about his experiences in the facility well over 12 years.
"The goal is to transfer all 57. We're going to support the president's mission of closing Guantanamo through transfers of detainees and prosecutions through military commissions,"The transfer of the ten in June would be after a thirty day notice period to the US Congress and then Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, would sign off on the transfer.
'These reports are obviously encouraging but we've been here before.There have been so many false dawns over the release of Shaker that we won't believe it until a plane bringing him back actually touches down here in Britain. Guantanamo has always been a complete travesty of justice and whoever is in government must ensure... Shaker is returned to his family as soon as possible if he's not going to be charged.'

"If you had to pick one car to spend the rest of your days driving, what would it be?"
I've been asked this a time or two over the years: The answer has invariably been a 5-Series BMW.
And I still feel that way after having now experienced all six generations of this mid-range Bimmer following a week with the new-for-2011 535i sedan. Although not perhaps with the same level of ardour I once felt.
To me, BMW's 5-Series four-door sedans have always encapsulated a just-right blend of style and luxury, and of course sports sedan performance, in a package big enough to be practical yet less likely to be deemed ostentatious.
And they've always been a "driver's" car, one in which the human/machine interface has been a very tangible (and often wonderful) one. Although the advent of advanced electronic control over so many aspects of their operation has increasingly introduced an insidious element of sensory deprivation, most noticeable in the last generation.
But either I'm getting used to this sometimes less-than-divine intervention or BMW's backroom boys and girls have figured out how to make the electronic djinns - which in Arabic folklore operate in a parallel universe and can be good, evil or benevolently neutral - perform their magic with more emphasis on the latter.
There's still a fine, if more muted, sense of the mechanical about this car. The rush of revs when you accelerate, the positive way the transmission shifts, the firm, progressive brake pedal and the fluid and connected steering feel, the way the suspension reacts to the road. All this still gets through to the driver despite the level of refinement now built into its systems and the leathery-luxury you experience inside.
While this new 5-Series still manages to connect on a visceral level though, it has undeniably become larger (by 50 mm) and lusher, as you'd expect after borrowing more than a little in design terms, and an extra 100 kg of weight, from its 7-Series senior. And inevitably, as it has aged, it has lost some of its sports sedan character, becoming more polished in its delivery and less obviously athletic.
Sort of like a once-fiery John McEnroe who now delivers slick commentary from high above the antics of a younger generation of passionate players, but still plays a mean game of tennis.
It remains an ideal cruise missile for running along an autobahn at its electronically tamed top speed of 210 km/h, but would not perhaps be as entertaining as the one I drove on the Route Napoleon through the Southern Alps some years ago. Neither of which matters to 100-km/h inhibited Canadian buyers of course, other than in the abstract.
What will is the sleek new styling that more than hints at the bigger 7-Series, an interior the word exquisite could have been coined for and an enthusiastic level of performance.
The $62,300 535i (there's also a $53,900 528i, $64,900 535i xDrive, $73,000 550i and $75,900 550i xDrive to choose from) is the classic configuration with its rear-wheel-drive and potently turbocharged, 3.0-litre inline-six that produces 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, applied through a eight-speed automatic. This will get you to 100 km/h in a neatly punctuated six-second rev-y rush or simply serve up appropriate performance for whatever a driving situation demands.
And it's not particularly thirsty, with ratings of 11.5 litres/100 km city and 7.4 highway.
Inside a wide console creates a sporty twin-cockpit feel up front and the driver, his or her body located positively but comfortably by the seat's bolsters, is positioned perfectly to grasp the wheel, check the simple instrument array, or make things happen with voice commands or twiddles of the more intuitive iDrive controller.
Rear-seat passengers are treated to a little extra knee room, and under the rear deck lid there's 520 litres of luggage space.
The 535i already comes with all the things you need, but BMW, as always, is willing to cater to your wants too with a wide array of standalone options and packages.
The test car came with a $5,400 executive package that added auto trunk opening, 18-way power-adjustable seats, navigation, voice activation and a higher-toned sound system. A $3,500 tech package provided a rear-view camera and surround view, lane departure and blind spot warning systems and park assist. Throw in heated rear seats and you've bumped the price to $71,700.
This latest 5-Series sedan has perhaps lost a little of its allure as a pur sang sports sedan with its increased emphasis on technology and luxury, but it's still a superb automobile - and would still be my choice for a rest-of-my-life ride.

Scientists from South Korea are giving one Briton the chance to clone their pet pooch for free.
Insung Hwang, director of the UK Dog Cloning Competition at Sooam Biotech, said: 'We can clone any breed, size or shape of canine and are coming to the UK to offer this process to the owner of one very special dog.
'We welcome entries from any UK-based dog owner who wants to benefit from this exciting new advance in biotechnology.'
The process, which will take two months, involves the use of skin cells of the dog and cutting edge technology. A biopsy is taken from a living dog, which is then replicated to create a man-made embryo.
The whole process usually costs around £63,000 but aim to get the ball rolling by offering one for free.
The Korean scientists have claimed that they have already cloned at least 400 canines around the world.
The winner of the contest will be taken to Seoul in South Korea to see the cloning first hand. The process will be filmed as part of a Channel 4 documentary to be aired next year.

Ludum Dare: Mindless Mechanics vs Thoughtful Themes
Hi there.
Ludum Dare 38 is coming up this weekend and I thought I'd give a quick overview of the themes you can vote for and my opinion on whether they make good themes or not (spoiler: most of them don't). I haven't decided whether I'm going to participate yet (mainly because of concerns for the quality of the theme).
It's kinda hard to pin down what makes a good theme. The best way I can describe it is that a good theme points you in a certain direction but doesn't tell you where to go. Vague themes like "Boats" aren't really enough to get your imagination going, because there's just too many different ways it can be interpreted and none of them are particularly meaningful. Simply adding another word to the theme (eg: "exploding boats", "upside-down boats", "space boats", etc.) can make your brain start coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas. But if you get too specific (eg: "upside-down exploding space-boats") then you've just told yourself where to go and there's no room for your imagination to push boundaries.
Lots of the "themes" submitted to Ludum Dare aren't even themes at all. They're just random rules or limitations or mechanics that you add to your game, and then continue developing without any consideration for them. Sometimes it works out okay, but when it happens every LD it gets boring pretty fast.
Finally, there are things that aren't technically themes, but for all practical purposes you can treat them like one. These are usually rules or limitations that are so vague you can incorporate them into your game in a theme-like way (one example from the theme voting is "Four Elements"). I'm not entirely sure how to probably describe these. I just pull them out into a different category as I notice them. It's quite subjective so you should make up your own mind on whether they're worthy of being a theme or not.
Anyway, on to the themes:
Good themes
- Save yourself, not the world
- A World in the Skies
- Playing with Fire
These aren't neccessarily themes that I like, but they're worthy themes, and I'd prefer these to most themes from the last few LDs. It's a bit disappointing that there's so few of them, but there are lots of themes under other categories that are still good (but have small drawbacks).
Themes that might be good despite being a bit vague
- Inconvenient Superpowers
- Dark/Light
- Infectious
- Limited Energy
- Space Travel
- Parallel Dimensions
- Death is only the beginning
- Hivemind
- Creation and Destruction
Despite being vague, adding more detail to these themes won't really improve them. Some are already good, some aren't.
Themes that could be better with more detail
- Explore the Unknown (This is a bit of a tautology. You can't explore what you already know)
- Connections (between what?)
- Evolve
- Rebuild
- Fragile
- Island
- Consequences
- Strange World
- Magnetism (To add more detail change this to 'magnetic')
- Expansion
- Illusions
- Reincarnation
Some of these are still okay even without more detail.
Themes that are so vague they don't mean anything
- Strength in Numbers
- Nothing is Permanent
- On/Off
- Very Important Object
Can be Themes or Mechanics/Limitations depending on interpretation
- A Small World
- Time Manipulation
- Keep it Alive
Not themes (rules, limitations, mechanics, etc.)
- Start with nothing
- One tool, Many uses
- Pausing has consequences
- You control the game, not the player
- One Time Use
- One Enemy
- 30 Seconds (Just resubmit your entry for 10 seconds but change the numbers and hope nobody realises that they've already played it before)
- Everything has a Cost
- You are the Bad Guy
- Two Colors
- Control Several Characters
- You are Alone (This would be fine if it was just "Alone". It's the "you are" part that ruins it)
- Time is Power
- Limited Button Presses
Not themes that act like themes
- Four Elements
Not themes that could be interpreted as themes
- Unexpected Mechanics (Hint: interpret 'mechanics' as the occupation)
Possible ways to improve theme quality
It'd be a waste of time if I just made this post to voice my subjective opinion on the available themes and complain about the low quality. I do in fact have a few ideas on how the theme voting process could be improved to achieve better results:
Strict curation of themes
Have a small number of people that remove non-themes even if the community seems to support them. When there are too many competing ideas at work, the end result is usually one that makes nobody happy. A mediocre theme is almost always going to be better than any rules/limitations that might be "popular".
So instead make it so the community can only choose from the actual themes.
Let the organisers pick the theme
Kinda the opposite of the previous solution. Instead of the organisers/curators picking themes for participants to vote on, the participants put forward themes for the organisers(/curators) to pick from. This isn't that great of a solution because the people responsible for choosing the theme might have biases towards certain subjects, but once again, a mediocre theme is better than a random rule or limitation.
Separate categories for themes and rules/limitations
Participants vote for a theme and a limitation and make a game based on the winning theme that adheres to the winning limitation. This kills two birds with one stone by providing extra detail for vague themes, and allowing actual themes to win the vote. Here's some examples using themes and limitations from the voting rounds:
- Limited Energy and 30 Seconds
- Playing with Fire and One Tool, Many Uses
- Inconvenient Superpowers and One Time Use
- Hivemind and Control Several Characters
- Dark/Light and Two Colors
- Strength in Numbers and You Are Alone
- On/Off and Limited Button Presses
Of course, the chances of the limitation synergizing with the theme is pretty low so you'll probably see things like this:
- Limited Energy and You Are Alone
- Playing with Fire and One Enemy
- Inconvenient Superpowers and Pausing has consequences
- Dark/Light and You control the game, not the player
And these are still awesome ideas to get you started on your game.
Screw the winning theme. I'm picking the one I want
Who cares if your theme score is low? Just make a game based on a theme that inspires you. If your game is fun enough you should do well in the rest of the categories anyway.
The theme voting process in Ludum Dare is broken because people pick easy-to-develop mechanics over inspiring themes. By changing the voting process it should be possible to bring back actual themes, but there's nothing stopping you from picking your own theme until that happens. The important part of Ludum Dare is to make a game from scratch (more-or-less) in 48 hours.
Enjoy it.

- First of all, like any other repairs, installation of the ceiling calls for a clear understanding of the desired result.We need to do a drawing (lines leading plasterboard ceilings - what is needed).
should be designed such aspects as the number of layers and materials that will be used for decoration.
- Next is preparing the walls and the ceiling surface of the installation frame.It is important to remove all of the coating layer, such as old plaster or paint.
also need to ensure that the joints on the surface did not have extra layers, corners must remain straight.
- If remove rounding joints is not possible for the kitchen ceiling plasterboard can be set below.
- Location framework under the plasterboard ceiling for the kitchen, you must first map out using vertical hangers.
- frame made of metal profiles.All levels of the frame constructed immediately.
After the frame under the ceiling giposkartonnye kitchen installed, electrical wiring is done.Care should be taken so that the wires are not touching metal.If
will be installed in the ceiling point light sources, produce wiring to each of them.
- All wires should protect and secure the plastic flexi hose clamps on the carrier surface of the ceiling.
Further frame is attached a layer of drywall sheets for the first level.Typically, oil paint Ceiling in the kitchen operate in several layers for each level.
perform installation of gypsum material to the next level of the framework.It usually has a shaped form that is pre-chart sheets.
Similar work is done with all the subsequent levels.
- next step plasterboard ceilings in the kitchen trim putty to cover all joints and screw heads.
- The plasterboard for the kitchen are connected and installed lighting.
mounting frame
mounting on the peeled surface of the walls and ceiling.To mark the position on the frame under the kitchen ceiling plasterboard is necessary to find the most protruding point on it.
step back from this level of at least 2.5 cm and put a note on any of the walls:
- According to him, using the point of the level outlined in the remaining walls.Further fighting off line position of the future ceiling.
- Around the perimeter of the kitchen at this level are set CD profiles.This is done in such a way that they provided at the lower part of the planned line.
- segment separating the plugs is not more than half a meter.The paper recommended that you use the size of 0.6 cm dowels and screws length of 5-7 cm.
Buy hardware better not complete, but separately.
plasterboard kitchen relies mainly on profiles, so they need to do the layout very carefully.The room is the most directly facing the wall and from the steps of half a meter counting is done at a given level.
intermediate labels are kicking the guide to install the P-like hangers-mounts for CD profiles, also called peshkami.
- Peshki installed on the dowels.It is worth noting that it is better to buy plugs that are flaring, as they will not sink into the concrete slabs for the installation.
In some cases, kitchen plasterboard mounted on the frame construction according to cell type.The cell size of 0.6 m.
This kind of skeletons has no special advantages over conventional, with profiles directed to one side and located at a distance of 0.5 m. At the same time, its construction requires more thanwith a conventional frame, time and energy investment.
Based on these facts, this manual does not contain instructions for the production of the cellular skeleton.
Before attaching the CD profiles need to adjust to the desired size. Then they are installed in sections UD.
Using PN, CD profiles are pulled into position above the plane of the frame to stretch the thread under them.It can be as caproic and silk.
thread held across the CD profiles and fastened with small screws to the UD profiles.
Tip: Consistently one of the CD set of thread profiles, and bolted to the suspension of the PN.The ceiling in the kitchen of plasterboard is fixed only after all the profiles will be securely locked.
How to mount plasterboard
After the final frame of the mount to the ceiling drywall in the kitchen and holding electrical wires comes the stage of attachment of gypsum board (drywall see: How do the best for the ceiling or wall).This work is quite simple, but requires an assistant to safely lift the sheets of material to the desired height.
second worker also needs to work on the joins are sheets.It should fall strictly on the center line profile, which allows it to serve the suspension subsequent sheet.
Each gypsum board used about 60-70 screws for metal with a length of 25 mm.When screwing the need to pay attention to the depth of utopaniya hats in the leaf surface.
is important to make the screw deeper into the list, but does not deal damage to the paper.So
- When mount gypsum boards need to remember that they will be installed lighting.It is recommended to find out in advance their size.
If it is not possible for any reason, at their locations left holes made in the usual drill, through which lead out wires.
- For the safety of gypsum boards, use special nozzles for a given material or regulators for the screwdriver.
advantages.As mentioned earlier, kitchen plasterboard ceilings allow to build multi-level structure.
- To understand the principle of setting the next level will be considered the simplest version of the design.It does not need fixing to wall hangers, as the second level will be mounted directly on the drywall.
- The illustration photo shows a curved UV profile with a width of 7.5 cm. Its side surfaces are cut in steps of 5 cm, which allows you to make it flexible.
- On the surface level of the first pencil marks the contours of the second level.On this circuit will be the installation of flexible UV profile.
When mounting use screws of the same type as in previous works, that is the size of 25 mm.
- to the wall at the desired level priverchivayut UD profiles.Next, set the jumpers.
If their size is more than half, in their mid-mounted suspension.
- bolted to the bottom plane of the sheet of oil paint, then it is possible to make the conceived form. superfluous parts are cut along the contours of the curved UV profile.
Next to this profile is attached a vertical stripe.
- from the whole leaf is cut to the required width of the strip.Then the paper is applied to the cuts in increments of 5 cm. From the side where the convex bend.This allows the band to repeat the bend.
- produce similar levels of work followed.It is important to understand well the aspect ratio of the new ceiling height of the room.
- Further work is performed with holding lighting technology, as well as putty and painted the ceiling of plasterboard.
Tip: Joints recommended to treat the surfaces fugenfyullerom, it will give them rigidity.
In the above example, we can see that plasterboard is quite possible to do it yourself.It is important that the cost of such works is different from the cost of the construction crews work at times.Data

"Tugged at my heart"
This one. I loved this one. So many different types of love. This one made me cry. I loved it.
I don't know, maybe yes. This book adds nothing new.
I think that what happens here could be included in a book as a scene or somethng like that. Wasn't necessary a book for it.
Nothing. His performance was great.
"Bitter of Tongue"
loved this book. Thank you. Cannot wait to read the next book in this series.
"witty and fun"
Loved it! fills the void for Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices fans as we await more....
"Continues to draw me in"
Again another great addition to the story of the Shadowhunter story. Simon is a great character and his journey through these short stories is compelling and a great way to keep our interest as we await the next series of books in the saga.
Just the right length for a great walk or quiet time at home, I love the narration and the pace of the story.
So not for everyone and certainly not a stand alone story but for those of us hooked on the Shadowhunter world it is a good way to spend an hour and a half.

A handful of early voters in the US presidential elections have complained that electronic voting machines have switched their votes from Democrat to Republican, but West Virginia voting officials and the e-voting vendor have played down the allegations.
Three voters in Putnam County and three voters in neighboring Jackson County told the Charleston Gazette that e-voting machines from Election Systems & Software (ES&S) had switched their votes from a Democratic to a Republican candidate during recent early voting. But county election officials said they've been unable to replicate the problems, and the voters were eventually able to vote for the candidates they wanted.
In some cases, the voters told the newspaper that their attempts to vote for Democratic Senator Barack Obama for president was switched to Republican Senator John McCain. In other cases, votes for other Democratic candidates were switched, they told the newspaper.
All three people who complained were able to ultimately switch their votes to the candidates they wanted, said Jackson County Clerk Jeff Waybright, a Republican. The ES&S e-voting machines being used statewide include a paper printout of the recorded vote, plus two on-screen prompts that ask voters to confirm their picks before they cast their ballot, he said.
"There are three checks on it," Waybright said of the e-voting machines.
Barack Obama winning battle of Web 2.0
Waybright suggested those voters may have touched the edge of a Republican candidate's button on the screen when attempting to vote for a Democrat. The ES&S screens have the buttons of opposing candidates right next to each other.
"I don't know what happened," Waybright said. "I'm not going to say what the voters reported was inaccurate, but we haven't been able to recreate it."
Waybright's staff has been asking voters about the performance of the e-voting machines since the news reports came out last Friday. Since then, more than 800 voters in his county have cast early ballots, with no reported problems, he said.
Waybright's office recalibrated the machines after the news reports, and the clerk's office has supplying voters with eraser-topped pencils to use as styluses instead of their fingers.

We are committed to preserve our planet. Learn more about our initiatives regarding environmental care!
Changing the way we work to improve our environmental impact isn't just the right thing to do – it's a part of who we are at Purina. Caring for our pets and our planet shapes our everyday actions. For instance, in 2011, Purina employee volunteers implemented a single-stream recycling program, where all recyclables are placed in a single bin, at our headquarters in St. Louis. This one idea nearly doubled the volume of materials we recycle there from more than 40 tons recycled in the first half of 2011, before single-stream, to over 80 tons recycled for the same period in 2012, with single-stream recycling.
40+ Tons Recycled January - July of 2011
80+Tons Recycled January - July of 2012
Purina's employee volunteers, known as the "GreenPaws" team, help their colleagues at the St. Louis Headquarters raise their environmental awareness. They have also volunteered to collect recyclables at some St. Louis Cardinals games, and helped their neighbors become more environmentally aware with an effort by the team to revitalize the historic Soulard Community Garden.
You love your pets and you want a safe and clean environment where you can play together for years to come. We understand that because we're pet owners too.
That's why, at Purina, we are committed to continuously improving the environmental performance of our operations and our products so that they will be better for the environment throughout their life cycle.

We believe that the essence of sustainability is learning to live within the boundaries of nature. By finding new ways to do so, we can supply high-quality and nutritious products while improving our impact on the Earth.
Now, we want to share some of the positive steps we are taking to improve our environmental performance, although we acknowledge there is still much left to do.
We believe that the steps we are taking today will make us stronger in the future and will allow us to improve our environmental performance through our actions. This starts with identifying opportunities and designing smarter and more efficient systems. Our associates have taken on this challenge with passion and pride. We don't have all of the answers, but with the help of experts from many areas, we are making progress.

Had I never gone to Stitch Therapy, it is very possible that The Adventures of Miss Flitt would not exist. When I first began to visit Maxcine's store, I was not an experienced knitter. I harbored a vague terror of knitting in the round, but I fell in love with the alpaca Baby Twist. It's soft palette and softer feel called to me. I must knit a hat, I thought, a hat in the round, and so I approached the counter with some trepidation. Maxcine asked me a series of pointed questions: Can you tell the difference between a knit and a purl stitch? Do you know how to decrease? Have you knit in the round before?
I bought the yarn, made the hat, knew so little that I wore it wrong side out, and took it to show Maxcine. "Look at that!" She said. "How beautiful!" I looked down at my work and felt proud. I bought yarn and knitted a second hat for my husband. By then I had figured out that I was wearing my hat the wrong way, so I corrected his. Again I took my hat back to the shop, and again, I was congratulated on my achievement.
What next? I wondered. A sweater? I chose a light blue mohair and went to work on a Karabella shawl-collared pullover pattern I'd fallen in love with. It was a tricky. The first thing I had to do was knit a turned picot edge using a set of needles and one extra, smaller needle to hold the turning stitches. I was stumped, but I knew where to go. Brandi, the official Miss Flitt model and a Stitch Therapy employee, set me on the right track. Her directions were easy to follow, and she was patient with me.
When I finished the pieces, I washed and blocked them, and then it was time to sew everything together. Oh dear! How to sew a sweater together? How to get those tidy seams and clean lines? I went back to the shop, joined a Sunday night knitting circle, and was taught by Tony Limauco, a wonderful designer, and an expert at the mattress stitch.
I could have stopped there, but I didn't want to. I wanted to design my own sweater, and so I did a watercolor of a girl holding a book and wearing a purple sweater with a tie at the neck. She looked vaguely 60s and vaguely French, so I called her Claudette and wrote a few paragraphs about her sweater collection. She lived on the Left Bank, rode a bicycle, and carried the kind of satchel I remembered seeing in Truffaut's Small Change.
I brought my watercolors to Stitch Therapy. "Look at this!" Maxcine said. "This is beautiful. Can you do more?" she asked. "Maybe you could do some for the shop." I felt shy. After all, I hadn't put pencil to paper in over five years. It was only my desire to design a sweater that prompted the watercolor. I went home and did a drawing specifically for Maxcine. It was a thank you gift, and she uses it as her avatar on Ravelry.
Gradually, it began to dawn on me, as I continued to knit and paint and write, that I might put a book together, and when I told Maxcine about it, again she was enthusiastic. She said we should do an art show and a reading. She'd always wanted to do a reading at the shop, and wouldn't this be perfect? She never once thought I might not be able to finish the work, or that when I did, it wouldn't be something she'd want to show.
We launched the first book of The Adventures of Miss Flitt series, "The Strange Case of the Magician's Cabinet", in October, 2009, and we launched the second, "Dangerous Ladies and Opium Dens" in May.
Maxcine still asks me pointed questions, but now they are more about business and marketing than knitting. She has been able to answer questions that I would otherwise be clueless about: What's the difference between a copyright and a trademark? What sort of tax do you place on knitting goods in New York?
I buy most of my yarn at Stitch Therapy because the yarns are lovely, elegant, and classic, and I like to visit the shop, sit at the little round table, and talk to Maxcine about the progress of the next installment in the Miss Flitt series or the yarns she's thinking about ordering for the new season. There's always something to admire in the shop—Maxcine's hat designs are inspiring, and I love to see other customers' projects. Stitch Therapy is a friendly, comfortable place, and for me it is a uniquely wonderful place, because it is the true home of The Adventures of Miss Flitt.

DONA FERENTES - A/M Narcotics . session1 - (C40) - I woke up this morning feeling someway bad...I remember a bit of my fuckin dreams, and it wasn't a good thing...There was a deep need of going harsher than those alienating dreams, so I started to record random harsh vibes from A/M Radios and shit directly into some ricycled 90 disco music tapes. Better than going to church on Sunday morning, for sure...
For the covers, I used the original cover of the disco mixtapes, cut and pasted into a single glowing collage.
Edition of 7 copies, everyone is unique.

Uh-oh. Mrs. Wishy-Washy is at it again. Rubbing and scrubbing all the animals on the farm. But this time they aren't standing for it. Duck, Cow, and Pig are leaving mean old Mrs. Wishy-Washy for good!
They run away to the big city. But they get lost, wander into a restaurant, and even stumble into a hardware store and get covered in paint! Where is Mrs. Wishy-Washy when they need her? Maybe her farm isn't so bad after all . . .
Joy Cowley and Elizabeth Fuller have brought their clean-loving Mrs. Wishy-Washy back to her old tricks in this full-length sudsy story that will become a favorite before you can say "Bathtime!"
Illustrated by Elizabeth Fuller.
The queen of barnyard clean returns after a 23-year hiatus, along with her mud-loving cow, pig and duck. Only this time, the farm animals aren't so tolerant of her scrubbing. " `Moo-moo!' `Ee-ee!' `Quack, quack, quack!' `Bye, Mrs. Wishy-Washy,/ mean old Mrs. Wishy-Washy./ We are leaving you/ and we won't be back.' " The three flee to the city ("where the barns are big," squeals the pig), end up getting into mischief (e.g., while looking for a meal in one such "barn [with] food on the dishes," a chef threatens to serve them up as "roast on toast") and they wind up in "animal jail." This new installment may lack the simple repetition of the original, but Cowley keeps this lengthier sequel easy enough for beginning readers, despite several tricky words (e.g., "stampede," "anxious," "doubt") sprinkled throughout the rhyming text. Fuller's bright ink-and-watercolor illustrations amplify the tale's humor. When the runaways end up in a hardware store, the artist imagines a comical chaos of upturned paint cans-fur and feathers erupting with splotches of color; the cow wears paint buckets on her front hooves while the pig sports a red pail for a hat. All the better for their plump, fuzzy slipper- and bandanna-wearing owner who comes to the rescue. She takes them home for a good wash, wrapping up an appealing story that resonates with the message: there's no place like home-baths and all. Ages 2-6.

The students will understand the historical implications of the time in which Lord of the Flies was written: 1954.
Students will understand how the concept of Lord of the Flies is contrary to the "squeaky clean" facade of the 1950s, which led to the book's lack of acceptance.
This is an introductory lesson to the novel. It is designed to be taught before students have read the novel. It focuses on the contextual factors surrounding the novel, such as the author's life and the time period in which the novel was written and set.
Assignments are broken up by chapter rather than page number to facilitate the use of different publisher copies of the novel.
This novel references the common core standards, but certainly one could choose to adapt the references to standards to any set that is used by your district or educational body.
Copies of the novel for each student.
If at all possible, have the room arranged in a way that facilitates discussion, such as a circle.
A biography of William Golding. This can be distributed in a variety of ways. Suggestions:

Iridescent and Manganese Crystalline Glazes from Utah State University Glaze Calculation Class Matt Fiske April, 2014. Research.

I began research on this project in an attempt to find a brilliant, iridescent glaze similar to Zsolnay's famous Eosin glaze, which has a very obvious bright reflective rainbow iridescent quality.
-From Wikipedia
Nearly all historical luster made before 1800 fits in this category. The result of calcining copper, silver, and bismuth oxides with earthenware or laterite clays, and applying the resulting mixture to a maturely fired lead or tin glaze surface.
The piece is then refired and held in heavy reduction at dull red heat allowing for a thin layer or metallic oxide to fuse with the surface of the glaze. After the firing, the earthenware is wiped away, revealing a nano-thick layer of iridescent metal.
Usually made with dissolved gold, platinum, or other noble metals and suspended in an organic binder. Generally fired to a low temperature, with the organic compounds burning out and fluxing a thin, even layer of metallic oxides with the surface of the work. Developed around 1800, very common in industry, very toxic.
Generally higher porcelain and stoneware temperature. Usually cover the entire surface of a form. Relies on metallic saturated glazes precipitating out thin layers of reduced metallic oxides which deposit in a thin layer on the top of the glaze. Generally more brilliant and operate across a wider spectrum of interrupted light.
David Shaner
John Tilton
NephelineSyenite 65.0
Manganese Dioxide 22.0
- Additions of other oxides were often counterproductive to glossy surfaces and generally resulted in unpleasant black, rough surfaces. Copper, Iron, Chrome, Nickle, and Cobalt were all tested alone and in conjunction from .1 -> 20%.
- The character of the underlying glass matrix of was usually beer bottle brown, so I tested extensively to change the color of the glass without effecting the iridescent surface – to date I still don't have a simple solution to this problem.
- Granular Manganese seemed to produce brighter colors as well as promoting streaking 'hares-fur' effects in faster cooling, and acting as 'seeds' to crystal formation on slower cooling cycles. My ideal concentration of granular manganese was 2% and fine manganese dioxide at about 27%.
Most recipes called for 50-70% feldspar, and after testing all of the available feldspars;
- Nephelinesyenite promoted a much smoother, regular iridescence.
- Custer feldspar promoted iridescence across a wider color spectrum, but promoted intense crystallization.
The addition of silica promoted a lightening of the glass matrix, as well as a sugary, semi- shiny sparkling satin luster. Silica beyond 15% eliminated iridescence.
Alumina additions to the glaze produced a semi-matt honey colored glaze.
All tests were fired in high temperature gas kilns. I usually fired to 1260C, or Orton cone 10.
A majority of my testing was in standard cone 10 reduction firing, with a 1 hour body reduction at cone 012-> cone 08, and a 6-10 hour firing from cone 08-> cone 10.
Recipes with 15% copper produced a striking gold color in oxidation environments, and glazes in oxidation firings bubbled and boiled up between cone 7-9, which suggests a similar thermal reduction similar to oil spot glazes.
I found that crash cooling seemed to promote smoother, less brilliant surfaces, and a moderately fast cool was ideal in creating a balance between bright color and reasonably smooth surface.
