The M-Machine is an experimental multicomputer being developed to test architectural concepts motivated by the constraints of modern semiconductor technology and the demands of programming systems. The M-Machine computing nodes are con- nected with a 3-D mesh network; each node is a multithreaded processor incorporating 12 function units, on-chip cache, and local memory. The multiple function units are used to exploit both instruction-level and thread-level parallelism. A user accessible message passing system yields fast communication and synchronization between nodes. RapM access to remote memory is provided transparently to the user with a combination of hardware and software mechanisms. This paper presents the architecture of the M-Machine and describes how its mechanisms attempt to maximize both single thread performance and overall system throughput. The architecture is complete and the MAP chip, which will serve as the M-Machine processing node, is currently being implemented.

Those who watched Elimination Chamber 2014 and Monday Night Raw this week, witnessed the WWE audience turning on Batista because they do not approve of his push and his attitude towards the fans since returning. Mick Foley posted this message on Twitter, stating that he has never seen anything like it before in his long career.
February 24, 2014
A lot of fans were disappointed with how things ended at Elimination Chamber 2014. While the performers did a great job, many were disappointed that WWE opted to have Randy Orton defeat Daniel Bryan to retain his championship. Mick Foley shared those sentiments by posting this message on his Twitter account.
February 24, 2014
Just like so many wrestlers now do on Twitter, Konnan posted this message on the WWE pay per view tonight. He was not pleased with Elimination Chamber 2014, and even went as far as to say that this is the reason why he does not pay money to watch the product nowadays. Konnan even stated that the show was a rip off.
February 24, 2014
Since management was disappointed at the crowd reaction that was received during the match between Darren Young and Titus ONeil at Elimination Chamber 2014, the former Prime Time Players are being scaled back a bit, and their respective pushes are being placed on hold. Their feud has not being featured on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown since the pay per view.
March 9, 2014
After getting married to the lovely Maryse Ouellet in the Bahamas, the Miz opted to skip his honeymoon and head to Minnesota to work the kickoff show panel for Elimination Chamber 2014. It was a rather interesting move, as many felt that he could have been given the time off to celebrate his nuptials because of his limited role on the pay per view.
February 27, 2014
During the Smackdown taping, it was announced that there would be a big Elimination Chamber 2014 rematch on Monday Night Raw featuring Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan taking on Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. The belief is that this is being done to further the friction between Ambrose and Reigns.
February 26, 2014
Once you get into that WWE dog house, it's pretty hard to get out. Management has sent more messages to Ryback this month. First, he and Curtis Axel are utilized as a filler tag team during the Elimination Chamber 2014 kickoff match. This week, the two of them are paired up with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre in an eight man tag team match on WWE Superstars.
February 26, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were given a victory over Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, in order to get some heat back after losing at Elimination Chamber 2014. Apparently, WWE does not feel that it is important enough to include in the Hulu broadcast of the show this week. Despite that, the Usos are still expected to be on the Wrestlemania 30 main card.
February 25, 2014
Even though he was not booked for Elimination Chamber 2014, Big Show is still very much in contention for a coveted match at Wrestlemania 30. Right now, WWE simply had nothing for him from the creative department. Plus, he replaced the Great Khali on an overseas promotional tour of India. He should be back on television soon.
February 24, 2014
Even though they lost at Elimination Chamber 2014, there are talks that Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso could be given a rematch tonight on Monday Night Raw. Since WWE wants it to be a special episode, they're wanting at least one title change to take place. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn could be the casualties of the creative department tonight.
February 24, 2014
At this point in time, it is all but assured that Batista will be headlining Wrestlemania 30. Randy Orton is expected to retain the belt at Elimination Chamber 2014, so the two of them will be working the main event in April together. The belief is that he will be given the WWE Championship that night and be pushed through the fall when his movie comes out.
February 24, 2014
As predicted by many, Randy Orton walked away from Elimination Chamber 2014 with the WWE Championship. Sheamus, Christian and Antonio Cesaro were the first eliminated. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan helped to eliminate John Cena. Finally, Kane attacked Daniel Bryan, which enabled Orton to pick up the victory and earn his spot in the main event next month.
February 23, 2014
As expected, Batista defeated Alberto Del Rio in a grudge match at Elimination Chamber 2014. Del Rio attempted to trick Batista at the beginning of the match by coming out in crutches and a track suit. Pin fall ending came after Del Rio was nailed by an exposed turnbuckle and a Batista Bomb. Lot of crowd heat against Batista during the match.
February 23, 2014
Chris Sabin grew up as a wrestling fan, so it comes as no surprise that he would be a huge follower of the Great Muta. He gushed on Twitter about how awesome it was to work against the Japanese legend at TNA Lockdown 2014.
March 11, 2014
Garett Bischoff has grown frustrated with wrestling fans, so he took to Twitter to post this message about haters. His father Eric Bischoff was quick to reply and provide advice. He stated that he made a fortune manipulating haters. Said that it was fun, easy and profitable.
March 11, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in WWE and WCW, Kevin Nash had himself a little athletic career as a basketball player. His alma mater, the University of Tennessee, honored him earlier this week by carving his name into their Wall of Fame for athletes. Nash posted this picture of his Twitter account to show fans.
March 9, 2014
SXSW is hitting up Austin again, and WWE is sending Mark Henry to the festivities. The former world heavyweight champion will be hosting an event called Rap n' Wrestling. While full details have not yet been released, it appears that several former and current WWE stars will be in attendance as well.
March 9, 2014
Through Twitter, Angelina Love posted this message, informing fans that she started off her day by sitting in the front of a plane with Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart. The former TNA Knockouts Champion also mentioned that she shared a drink with the two WWE legends.
March 9, 2014
Over the last few weeks, Mick Foley has drawn some heat from WWE fans because he has been critical of the product that Vince McMahon and Triple H are producing, especially in regards to how they are utilizing Daniel Bryan. Foley will probably draw some further ire with this Twitter post, where he praises Impact Wrestling.
March 8, 2014
After watching the Chicago crowd at Monday Night Raw rooting heavily for CM Punk, Bully Ray took to Twitter to post this vague message about how it has helped him make an important career decision. That has led to speculations that he could be returning to WWE, even though he clearly stated that Impact Wrestling was involved.
March 7, 2014
When Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso captured the WWE tag team championship from Billy Gunn and road Dogg, they received a lot of congratulations messages from their peers, but the most meaningful one might have came from Booker T, their former trainer. He posted this message on Twitter to share how proud he is of his former students.
March 6, 2014
Fans were a bit shocked recently to hear that Buff Bagwell has decided to make the jump from professional wrestling to male escorting. Apparently, his former WCW coworker Konnan caught him on television and made this comment on Twitter about the situation.
March 6, 2014
After dabbling in music for the last several years, Christy Hemme has finally released an album. She posted this special message on Twitter to let her fans know. The TNA Knockout also posted a picture of the album cover.

O'Reilly and Kelly Downplay the Harm Done to #OccupyDavis Protesters From Pepper Spray - Kelly: It's a Food Product, Essentially
By Heather November 21, 2011 9:50 pm
Leave it to Fox's Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly to downplay the use of pepper spray and harm that was inflicted against non-violent protesters this past Friday at the University of California, Davis campus that we covered over at our Occupy America site here and here and the overwhelming and non-violent response by the students that we covered here at Video Cafe with the Chancellor Linda Katehi's walk of shame with thousands of students lining the roadways as she left the campus.

Putty-clay capital and energy
We evaluate the ability of models with putty-clay capital and stochastic energy prices to account for the dynamics of energy use and output. Economists have noted a close relationship between changes in the price of energy and changes in output. Moreover, they have documents that this relationship is asymmetric: energy price increases are associated with large output charges while energy prices decreases are associated with small output changes. Finally, following energy price changes, energy use adjusts slowly over time. Standard models with putty-putty capital fail to reproduce the features of the data. In our study of putty-clay models, we first develop a simple characterization of equilibrium. We apply these results to solve a prototype model. Preliminary results suggest that models with putty-clay capital improve on putty-putty models in accounting for the data.Download Info

both were fighting and should have been thrown out. And this isn't a pansy perspective, I am all about unloading on someone and have been kicked out of my share of events for throwing a punch, but where does a fight lead if left unchecked?

Not in my opinion Originally Posted by bpmcclain Yeah he was. My point was that I didn't think Jeffery should have been thrown out as well. But thats just me Agreed.

No way the South Carolina player should have been ejected. It is odd that that shove would have only been a 15 yard penalty if the NU guy had done nothing. but since the NU guy through several punches, the SC guy gets ejected.
Since when does getting in a shoving match/fist fight in a football game automatically make you a bad person? I remember watching Andre Johnson kick the hell out of a deserving Cortland Finnegan last year and the idea of Andre Johnson being a thug is ludicrous.

Abstract: Embryo implantation is a highly synchronized bioprocess between an activated blastocyst and a receptive uterus. In mice, successful implantation relies on the dynamic interplay of estrogen and progesterone; however, the key mediators downstream of these hormones that act on blastocyst competency and endometrium receptivity acquisition are largely unknown. In this study, we showed that the expression of osteopontin (OPN) in mouse blastocysts is regulated by ovarian estrogen and uterine micro-environment. OPN mRNA is up-regulated in mouse blastocyst on day 4 of pregnancy, which is associated with ovarian estrogen secretion peak. Hormone treatment in vivo demonstrated that OPN expression in a blastocyst is regulated by estrogen through an estrogen receptor (ER). Our results of the delayed and activated implantation model showed that OPN expression is induced after estrogen injection. While estrogen treatment during embryo culture in vitro showed less effect on OPN expression, the tubal ligation model on day 3 of pregnancy confirmed that the regulation of estrogen on OPN expression in blastocyst might, through some specific cytokines, have existed in a uterine micro-environment. Collectively, our study presents that estrogen regulates OPN expression and it may play an important role during embryo implantation by activating blastocyst competence and facilitating the endometrium acceptable for active blastocyst.

Rep. Jackson Jr. resigns, citing mental health
Perhaps his shining moment as a Democratic leader was in 2008, when Jackson served as the national co-chair of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. He had his sights set on U.S. senator or Chicago's mayor.
Then came Blagojevich.
Though never charged, Jackson had to repeatedly dodge allegations that he was involved in discussions about raising campaign funds for the now-imprisoned former governor in exchange for an appointment to Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat.
Jackson — who testified at Blagojevich's second corruption trial — always maintained that he was innocent and that his name would be cleared. Though through the proceedings it was revealed that Jackson had an extramarital affair, something his wife detailed in a front-page newspaper interview.
The congressman kept a low profile for years, avoiding interview requests and avoiding public appearances.
It wasn't until this year that glimpses of Jackson's former self emerged. He was forced to campaign seriously for the first time in years when former Rep. Debbie Halvorson put up an intense primary challenge. He easily won and gave a triumphant victory speech with his wife and children by his side.
Neither Jackson's family nor staff ever fully explained what was happening with the congressman's health or if he'd return at all. A few times, staff seemed optimistic and so did voters in his Chicago-area district where he easily won re-election to a ninth full term this month despite, despite his only communication with voters coming through a robocall where he asked for patience.
The timing of Jackson's leave and the way it was handled invited more scrutiny. Jackson's leave was announced just after a former fundraiser connected to the Blagojevich allegations was arrested on unrelated medical fraud charges.
The resignation left the House committee's investigation in the air. Since Jackson is no longer a congressman, the panel no longer has the power to punish him but could release a final report detailing its findings. A committee spokesman did not immediately return a message on Wednesday.
Reaction to his resignation was swift.

The First Two Years
Dear Daughter,
Twenty-One months, I've already started thinking of you as two. I remember when you were small… You are small still, but this is a different sort of small. A small that stamps around the house and that runs and climbs and jumps. You once were a different sort of small that could hardly move the weight of her limbs, that could not focus her deep blue eyes for long, and that spent whole days curled heavy against my body in a wrap where you now seldom ride.
"They" all talk of the fourth trimester, the first few months after a new baby is born. The first two years is something else altogether. A time that none of us remember as adults because we were not yet formed enough to hold onto such a memory.
In the first year you tripled your size, you went from eating only milk to eating food. You went from being barely able to move to crawling, to walking. From cries to first words. From toothless to pushing sharp jagged teeth through your gums. In the second year you walked, you ran, you jumped and you climbed. You have begun to form short sentences, to express feelings and desires. Your sense of humor has become impish with the glee of being.
When a human child is first born they barely have the ability to regulate the bits of their body that keep them alive and breathing. They develop the skills meant to keep them close to us and within our protection. Then and only then do they start to grow the seeds of self regulation and the basic logic of cause and effect.
You were born a baby and in under two years you became a human child that can do so many of the things that a human must be able to do. On a smaller scale, certainly, but all of you is there for growing.
Every parent knows how difficult those first two years are for the parents. The world is full of books that are meant to teach us how to manage you in your youngest years. Full of forums and groups and boards and meetups meant to get us the support as we raise you. Full of humorous things about what monsters you are, and full of less humorous things about the same.
We don't spend nearly enough time wondering what these first years must be like for you. How exposed you are to the overwhelm of the world, the littleness of your abilities and the hugeness of your emotions that you have not yet learned to control.
Sometimes I'm frustrated with my own ability to deal with the things that come from your being little. But you? I admire you, little critter, for the things that you have learned and the scale to which you have grown. For the amazingness of a brave little child who is not even yet three feet tall.
I look forward to watching you grow into the fullness of your being.
<3 Mama

Stars Lighten Their Hair For Winter: Love It or Hate It? Love It or Hate It? Stars Lighten Up For Winter by Jaime Richards 2/02/11 0 Reactions 49 Shares Print 0 36 13 0 0 Winter's the quintessential time to go darker with your hair color, but certain celebrities are doing the opposite this season. Take Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, for instance, who recently stepped out with an even shorter, even lighter platinum blond pixie. Of course we can't forget Emma Stone, who had heads turning when she colored her signature auburn strands to a warm blond tone. As for the rest of the newly lightened stars, it's time to vote now on your favorites.

But this year, we're seeing Jennifer switching up her color instead. Both shades are pretty, but which look gets your vote? Source: WireImage 1 / 5 Julianne Hough What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After being brunette for a movie, Julianne gradually went back to her signature blond tone. Both colors make her blue eyes pop, but which one do you love? Source: WireImage 2 / 5 Jennifer Lopez What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From caramel streaks to buttery-blond panels of color, Jennifer's dabbled with just about every highlight shade imaginable. But recently, she's gone much lighter all over. Which look do you idolize?

A/N: Big thanks to Azhure, my beta for this one. (March 2009)
"Albus Severus! Albus Severus!" James chanted while passing the open door of Harry Potter's study, where Albus was sitting on a couch, reading The Dark Arts Outsmarted. Albus felt the only too familiar twinge of annoyance especially reserved to be experienced in James' presence.
James and Albus Potter had just recently come back from school to spend Christmas in the Potter household. Fresh from his first term at Hogwarts, Albus had learned a vast amount of new knowledge. And not all of it was from his lessons – he learned much about his namesakes: the eccentric old wizard, from his crooked nose to his silvery beard; and the surly younger one, from his hooked nose to his oily hair. He certainly didn't expect that the two greatest headmasters of Hogwarts would be a pair of oddballs who couldn't have been anymore different.
Such sinister names that would strike chills in a decrepit man's cholesterol-clogged arteries, and from those freaky portraits, no less! Despite the fact that Albus Dumbledore had been hospitable enough, Al could not help disliking his name. Why couldn't his mum be the one to have named him? Why Dad?
He shouldn't have voiced out his displeasure to his mother. Not when James was in company. His name was Albus Severus, not like his older brother, James Sirius, who not only had the privilege to be named after their father's father and godfather, but also, from what Al had inferred, named after much less twisted people. Their dad might speak highly of Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape, but there was no denying that both had lived a whimsically distorted life and fashion sense. Off their rockers, Uncle Ron always said.
Just as Al was turning a page, his Uncle Ron entered the room, head turning left and right as though looking for someone. At once, he spotted his nephew and his expression was suddenly slightly appalled.
"Albus Severus!" he said, disgusted. "What are you doing? No child with a Weasley gene would read a book, especially on holiday. That is indecent to anyone with a Weasley gene, except for Rosie of course, because she has been made pure by her mum. Where's your dad, by the way?"
Putting the book down, Al actually smiled, in spite of the use his revolting name which, in his opinion, was tenfold more indecent than merely reading a book.
"Building a tree house in the backyard. And Dad reads it," he added, knocking the hardcover of the book.
"Really? What's the book?" asked Ron, slumping carelessly down beside his nephew.
"The Dark Arts Outsmarted."
"You're a bit young for that, but I guess that's the Potter gene working in you!"
Al grinned widely and then frowned, thinking... "Uncle Ron, you're Dad's best friend... Why do you think he named me my—this name?"
Ron's lips pouted slightly as he pondered. Then he spoke: "You see, Al, your dad isn't the most creative wizard in the world. That's maybe why ripping off appealed to him so much."
"Would you give—let's say—Hugo my name?" Al said after sighing and rolling his eyes.
With this, Ron chortled loudly. "No!" he said, as though this was very obvious. Then realising his mistake, he hastily added, "I mean, no, because—because I know your Dad was closer to Dumbledore than me. And Snape and me? No good, no good at all. And it's a trend, you know, hearing what he named James—that he'll name you all from someone else—as I said, lack of creativity—"
"That bad, huh?" Al sagged exasperatedly against the couch. "Why couldn't Mum have named me instead?"
And then, chuckling, Ron remembered. Gazing absentmindedly in space, he recalled the Christmas night at the Burrow warmed by the complete attendance of all the Weasleys, Potters, Teddy and Andromeda. There Ginny, met with disappointment from the family, announced her early retirement from the Holyhead Harpies, to which Harry proudly followed up with the declaration of his coming fatherhood and the arrival of the first Potter child. Teddy's eyes and mouth had gone as round as Remembralls and he'd excitedly squealed at this point, bobbing up and down beside his grandmother.
After Christmas dinner, Harry, with Ron and George, volunteered to clean up the table and kitchen.
"So, mate," said Ron as the three of them brandished their wand in similar motions so that the plates bathed themselves in the sink, "is it a girl or boy?"
"Most probably a boy, right, Harry? I mean, Weasley blood and all that," said George. "My first kid's a boy."
"I dunno," said Harry, flicking his wand at a stray platter which was going in the opposite direction to the others. "We decided that we want to be surprised. But obviously, Ginny's praying for a girl... And, well, I'm happy either way. I've got Teddy—he's like a son, anyway."
Ron and George exchanged dark looks, which Harry immediately noticed.
"What?" he asked bemusedly.
"Do you have any name ideas?" Ron asked slowly.
"No, but I've got some in mind. Not very creative, mind you."
"You'd better take charge, Harry. Show Ginny who's boss."
Harry was just even more puzzled. Seeing his expression, Ron said, "Tell him, George."
George cleared his throat importantly, puffed out his chest, and tilted his chin up. "Let me present to you Montmothrella, Heathpoldia, Lysanbeth, Clifferton…" he enumerated, ticking each name off with a finger, "and, of course, let us not forget, Pigwidgeon Potter. Disclaimer: all baby names owned by Ginny Molly Potter in her not-so-hidden list of names." He winked. "Get my drift?"
Harry couldn't imagine the hidden horrors his child or even children would go through someday, carrying the heavy burden that would soon be placed on their shoulders—unless he interfered right now.
"That's why we're here, mate–to help you," said Ron, genuinely concerned. "Do you think we could stand the shame our nephew or niece would have to live through?"
"We've been wondering for a while now when you'll have your firstborn so we can warn you. The time has come."
"Even if those elderly people—"
"—namely Bill, Charlie, and Percy—"
"—don't believe us."
"See, Harry," said George, putting an arm on the bespectacled man's shoulders, "generations of Weasleys are mostly male. Ginny is a miracle, in our opinion, because she was the first girl after—what? Five or six generations? So with that knowledge and Ginny's desire for a girl, play a deal."
Harry hereupon saw light. Grinning, he concluded, "I'll have a deal with her that I name the baby if it's a boy, and she if it's a girl…"
"Exactly," the redheads said simultaneously.
From this, Ron turned to Albus Severus Potter sitting beside him at present. He shook the retrospect out of his head and looked at his nephew seriously.
"Al, consider yourself very fortunate to have that name."
Al snorted and raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, right. You don't even find it pleasant."
"You know Pigwideon?"
"Your tiny owl… why?"
"Your Mum named him."
Albus blinked and his eyes widened.
A/N: Trivia, anyone?
The names are derived from Montmorency ofMontmorency Series, Cindrella ofCinderella, Heathcliff and Hareton ofWuthering Heights, Lysander ofA Midnight Summer's Dream, and Macbeth ofMacbeth. Pigwideon is, of course, from our belovedHarry Potter Series.

Advanced Hammock Theory - Illustrated
Sub Title: The relationship between hammock size, diagonal sleep angle, hanger height, and hammock sag angle discussed.
Sub-sub title: Math majors needed! Background I can accommodate up to three hammocks inside my home, and over the past few months I have enjoyed resting, lounging, and sleeping in a climate controlled environment. While not a lab, per se, I have found that I experiment more with my hammocks, testing sag angles and various hammock accessories. In the field I'm less finicky, just 3 paces, reach, and hang. One thing I've been pondering in my testing is whether there is a relationship between the size of my hammock, the pitch angle, and how diagonal I can lay in my hammock. The Theory Late last year (2010), thexuprising posted an interesting question about the Nano, a small hammock measuring 9 × 4 ft (2.7 × 1.2 m). Among the responses was one from Mister Dark on how he found the best diagonal for this small hammock by pitching it tighter than the recommended 30 degree angle. In my own testing, I found the same thing to be true. Like many of you, I have several hammocks, some "normal" size (5x10 ft), and some small like the Nano. One thing I found in my testing is that at some hang angles, depending on the hammock size, I would get "sagging" fabric on the sides (The Wall). When I changed the sag angle, not only would the sagging fabric change, but where the "natural" diagonal lay angle would also change. Some forum members have referred to this "natural" diagonal lay angle as "dialing it in" or "find the sweet spot." For example, I found with jumbo-sized hammocks, a deep sag was preferable and enabled an almost perpendicular lay. Trying a wide sleeping diagonal on a small hammock and my feet and head fall off the sides. This is obvious on one hand simply because there is less fabric wherein to lay. I think the idea of this "sweet spot" (the right diagonal lay) has everything to do with the relationship between hammock size, sag angle, and height of the person. For example, my kids get the absolutely flattest lay in my large hammocks and have a very obtuse diagonal lay. I've often said to myself, "wow, what would it be like to have a hammock that large for me (in proportion to my size)? I found this curious and the more I tried different configurations, I came up with these postulates:
I realize that a typical and valid rebuttal to this theory is for everyone to just find the sag angle that works for them, after all, hang your own hang. In practice, this is absolutely true. Personal preference will trump scientific notions. I, for one, do not bring scientific instruments in the field to get the right hang angle for my hammock, I just hang. However, while I might not use instruments in the field, this theory (if true) may influence how I hang in the field depending on what hammock I take with me. Future Study I'm not sure if there is anyone out there who has access to complex scientific 3D modeling software, but I would love to see if my theory can be mathematically validated. To help visualize my thoughts, I drew up an outline showing the relationship between occupant size, hammock size, hang angle, and diagonal sleep angle. Now it is time for the peer review! What are your thoughts? ~derek

This is interesting. While I am a mathematician, I don't have access to this type of 3D software. Maybe i can ask around, or one of the engineers will have access.
I will have to try experimenting with tension/angle vs diagonal direction and see if I can replicate your results. thanks for posting this.

The first thought I had is a Sailmakers spinnaker design software?
The modulus of the fabric in the 3 planes must be readily available from manufacturers, especially for spinn, cuben and parachute nylons. |

Love your illustrations; but, now have a headache thinking about the math. Long ago, my math was pretty good; but, that was before everyone started wearing shoes and I now need to take off my shoes to count change
Just this weekend, I was testing a friend's BlackBird and going thru what you are postulating here. May I suggest that you MUST also consider the structured ridgeline (if so equipped). I found my sweet spot with a shallower angle; but, the ridgeline was way too taut... I am just under 6 feet (shrinking with age). Found that my guesstimated 30 degree hang caused the BB to "bunch up" under my legs from the knees down which was uncomfortable; i.e., leg(s) were over that "bunched-up" fabric and cutting off circulation. Felt that almost immediately. Shallower angle (and TAUT ridgeline) solved that discomfort. Just my two cents. (Didn't even have to take off my shoes! Actually I did since it's a friend's hammock) J.D.
Happy Trails, J.D. I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming. |

A great start would be a "sticky" cataloging hammock shapes and characteristics in table of data. Not so different from what several mfg do in helping (?) customers choose among models.

I like to set up all of my hammocks with a structural ridge line. This way I can always pitch it "tight" to ensure the same sag. I do find your data accurate. I pitch my Deep Jungle XL with more sag than my Blackbird. The experimental analysis is sound!

One idea I didn't articulate well is the idea/theory that each hammock has its own "sweet spot" based on the occupant and other factors. Like a tarp with cat-cut edges, if not pitched correctly, it will sag and fabric will be loose. When pitched correctly, all sides are taut.
My theory suggests that when the proper hang angle and diagonal sleep angle are matched with the hammock size and occupant size, the fabric will be appropriate taut on the sides. That's not to say you can't sleep comfortably any other way, just that there is an optimal spot based on those several criteria: occupant height, hammock size, sag, and diagonal lay. Theoretically. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and recommendations. I realize this is probably more theoretical than practical, hence the "Advanced Hammock Theory" -- maybe this is the 300-level coursework?

I know I've seen HUGE Brazilian hammocks where people were completely perpendicular in them. Like this
I think the width plays a big part though. |

I slept in my grand trunk ultralight once pitched tight because I set it up for my kid and switched with her in the middle of the night. This is the only time I've fallen from a hammock. It wasn't so much a fall as a slingshot throw from the hammock. I just offer that as an anecdotal story of how pitching tight with less fabric is somewhat less stable..

The hammock I made for my son is 10.5' and he is roughly 40" tall. The hammock is 60" wide. I put him to bed and set him at an angle, maybe 40 deg. When I check on him during the night and morning, he is almost always perpendicular to the hammock ridge line.
Since it's been only a week since he's been sleeping in it, does he eventually get to this point because it's more comfy or because his weight shifts him to that position? I have always thought about making a hammock wider than I am tall and see how it feels. But most fabrics are only 60-65" wide. I'm 74" tall. Hense my dilemma. I have thought about sewing two together, but I just haven't yet. Would the seem detract from the comfort? I know I can't be the only one to think of this?

Cedar Rapids Weather
Eastern Iowa Welcomes Home Veterans After Honor FlightBy Forrest Saunders, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Eastern Iowa welcomed home 82 of its WWII and Korean War veterans, Tuesday evening. The group spent the day touring national monuments in Washington D.C. as part of an honor flight.
Veterans departed in the early a.m. hours and returned around 11 p.m. They were greeted at the Eastern Iowa Airport by a massive crowd. "I've never seen anything like it," said Korean War Veteran John Coyle. Easily, 400 to 500 people showed up, from eight counties to welcome veterans home. That may seem like a lot, but flight organizers said it's a pretty typical turnout. "[People] are realizing the sacrifice that their veterans made," said George Ricky, the flight's coordinator. Some in attendance were grandkids, some were sons and daughters, some were fellow service men and women who said they showed up to make sure veterans have a warm welcome home at least once in their lives. "I was in Vietnam. When I came home we didn't get the welcome like this. So, these guys, there's not many of them left anymore, and it's a great honor," said Dennis Kendrick, from Marion. On their trip to D.C., veterans toured the WWII, Korean, and Vietnam war memorials, plus the Air Force, Marine Corps and FDR memorials. Veterans also stopped at Arlington National Cemetery for a wreath laying at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a long trip and a lot to do in to a day, but veterans said they'll never forget it. "It's out of this world. They really treated us like kings, I guess what you'd call it. This is something else here. I can't believe this," said Coyle. The honor flight was funded by employees of the Quaker oats company in Cedar Rapids, plus parent company PepsiCo.

Prospect Rankings No. 13: Colby Shreve
Posted by Ben Seal, Fri, September 04, 2009 12:00 PM | Comments: 3
Posts, Top 25 Prospects from 2009
Colby Shreve, RHP
Born: 1/5/1988 in Las Vegas, NV
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 210
This is easily the most ambitious of all the rankings you will find in our Top 25 Prospects. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in May of 2008, Shreve has still not thrown a professional pitch. But the Phillies are knowledgeable when it comes to bringing pitchers back from the surgery, as Kyle Drabek's success this season attests. And because Shreve, who was chosen in the 6th round of the 2008 draft, regularly hit 96 mph on the radar gun before his surgery, with two other pitches to complement his fastball, he has the potential to bounce back next year and start off on the fast-track.
Shreve was drafted in the 7th round by the Braves in 2007 but chose not to sign and instead returned for another year of JuCo ball at Southern Nevada. The extra year gave Shreve a chance to really work on his arsenal and he took advantage. He cranked his fastball up from the low-90s to the mid-90s on a regular basis and developed a strong changeup to go with it. He uses his curveball as a spot pitch, much like Cole Hamels, and will need to improve on it to use it in pro ball. Shreve's long frame allows him to easily throw blazing fastballs, and with an above-average changeup he has two pitches to get batters out with.
Obviously there is not much to go by with Shreve, but the fact that the Phillies drafted him in a high slot despite his surgery coming before the draft says a lot. It was a risky pick, one that the Phillies know will yield a high return if he is capable of maximizing his ability. It won't be until 2010 that we get a feel for what Shreve can do against professional hitters, but the potential for a great bullpen arm is there, so keep an eye on him.

hiya interesting read. Glad to realize somebody had a similar questions as as some of the rest of us!
[...] Here is a good write-up from Phillies Nation, who notes that Shreve could get to the mid-90s with a good change-up. Gorm Heimueller (minor league pitching coordinator) said last week Shreve was ready to go and they just need a spot for him. [...]

Add/View Comments (0)Declining left-handedness in Victorian England seen in the films of Mitchell and Kenyon
I.C. McManus and Alex Hartigan
UCL Department of Psychology, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK
- Although left-handers currently form about 11% of the population, only about 3% of those born in 1900 were left-handed, a more than three-fold difference which requires explanation. Whether the difference results from social pressure for left-handers to become right-handed, artefacts resulting from response biasses that can occur when questionnaires are used, or perhaps a greater mortality of left-handers is still controversial [1,2,3]. Left-sided arm-waving, as observed in documentary films made between 1900 and 1906, and which correlates with left-handedness, occurs less often in 391 individuals born in the Victorian period, than in a modern control group. Left arm waving was also more frequent in the older individuals in the Victorian sample, an age effect that excludes any explanation in terms of increased mortality of left-handers. Since Victorian social pressure to wave with the right arm also seems highly unlikely, and there can be no response bias, the most likely interpretation is of a falling rate of left-handedness in the nineteenth century, with a true increase in left handedness during the twentieth century.
Main Text
Between 1897 and 1913, Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon made a series of documentary cinematographic films in northern England, of which 826 cellulose nitrate film negatives were found in June 1994 (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_%26_Kenyon). Two selections of these films have subsequently been released on DVD, The lost world of Mitchell and Kenyon (2004) (LW), and Electric Edwardians: The films of Mitchell and Kenyon (2005) (EE). We examined these films for lateralised behaviours, using a PC-based program to watch the films in slow motion and grab individual frames as a record. A pilot study of LW showed arm waving to be the most frequent lateralised behaviour, and the main analysis looked at all episodes of arm waving in EE. A modern control group of equal size to EE was obtained by entering 'waving' into Google Image (see the Supplemental data available on-line with this issue for technical details).
Most of the 391 arm waves in EE were carried out by males (N = 360, 92.1%). In EE the left arm was used in 61 (15.6%) cases, compared with 95/391 left-arm waves (24.3%) in the modern controls (χ2 = 9.23, 1 df, p = .0023). In the Victorian subjects, arm waving correlated strongly with age (Table 1: χ2 (Overall) = 18.56, 4 df, p = .00096; χ2 (linear) = 15.04, 1 df, p = .00011). Sensitivity analysis showed the age effect was robust against possible mis-classification of age (see Supplemental Results ).
Figure 1 compares the arm-waving data with the extensive hand-writing data of Gilbert and Wysocki [4]. In modern data there are more left-wavers than left-writers (just as left-footedness, left-eyedness and left-earedness are more common than left-hand writing [5]). Knowing the modern relationship of handedness and waving (see Supplemental Results ), estimated rates of left-handedness can be calculated from the arm-waving data for those born in the Victorian era (see Figure 1, in which estimated rates of left-handedness are shown as open circles and the dashed line). Earlier Victorian rates of left-handedness are broadly equivalent to modern rates, whereas rates then decline, with the lowest values for those born between about 1890 and 1910.
These Victorian data on arm-waving resolve several problems concerning the historical data on handedness and lateralisation, studying a behaviour that is unlikely to be subject to strong social coercion, and excluding response bias by examining actual behaviours rather than potentially biassed questionnaire responses. Left-sided usage is not only lower in the Victorian sample, but in strong contrast to modern data, left-arm usage in the Victorian subjects increases with age, thereby excluding increased mortality of left-handers as an explanation. It can therefore be concluded not only that left-handedness was truly less frequent at the end of the Victorian period, but that the rate of left-handedness had been falling during the nineteenth century (and that is compatible with data suggesting that long-term historic and prehistoric rates of left-handedness were similar to modern rates [6,7]).
The reasons for the Victorian decline in left-handedness are far from clear, although some children were undoubtedly discouraged from writing with their left hand. Ireland [8], writing in Brain in 1880, described how, "[Left-handed children] were not allowed to use their left hands in writing for ciphering. Great trouble had, in fact, been taken to make them desist from using their left hands". Increasing literacy rates [9], coupled with universal schooling and ever-increasing industrialisation and machine tool use in the nineteenth century, may have made left-handers more visible and hence more subject to the stigmatisation of which modern left-handers still complain [10]. Such explanations might be testable using cross-national comparisons of countries with early or late industrialisation and universal literacy. Because handedness, cerebral lateralisation and atypical laterality are associated with a range of conditions such as dyslexia, stuttering, autism and psychosis, the data also raise the tantalising possibility that their rates may also have changed concomitantly.
We are very grateful to Michael Peters for providing us with re-analyses of data from his 1992 paper.

Norm E. for Model Number GMC305PDB1
Answer Norm, to change the glass in an oven door, you will need to determine how to remove the door on the model number you are working on. If you open the door to the first stopping point, some oven doors will lift off the unit in this position. On other models, you will see clips on the back of the hinge toward the opening where the hinge enters the range. If yours is like this, you will open the door all the way open, then pull the clips down until they stop and lock in place. Then close the door to the stopping point and lift the door off the range. If your door does not lift off, and it does not have the clips, then you will open the door all the way open. You will see a hole in the hinge at the bottom of the door. You will insert a pin or nail into that hole and close the door to the stopping point. Then you can lift the door off the unit. Once the door is removed, you will lay it on a soft surface and disassemble the door. Pay attention and make notes if needed for reassembly of the oven door. Once you have replaced the door glass, you will reinstall the oven door back onto the range in reverse order of the way you removed it. Hope this helps you.
