Dearest Lil Joj,
The first thing I will tell you, and I believe it's the first thing I should tell you, is that the circumstances in which you came to be were astounding. Against all expected outcomes.
But take note, Lil Joj. That's not a bad thing. Not one bit. That's your Lesson #1: Do not limit your scope through blinding expectations. We tend to hold a skewed outlook of our destinies -confining our world to a single, narrow alley- when in truth, there's a galaxy of dreams all within our grasp. Keep those eyes wide open, Lil Joj. There's too much beauty to be absorbed; a self-inflicted blind eye does nobody any favors.
They will tell you ignorance is bliss, little one. Smile at them. They will dictate what's right and what's wrong. Smile at them. They will dictate what you deserve. Smile at them.
Smile and listen, though. Take in everything around you. Learn from their viewpoints, even if you disagree. Especially if you disagree. And don't ever be rude. Don't ever assume you know better. Everyone around you can and will teach you something, but only if you let them. Make no mistake: Any lesson failed to be learnt is a fault of your own, not theirs.
Be true to yourself, and you will never have to role-play in your life. Masks may seem fun at first, but once you wear them for too long, you realize they're exhausting. It's like when you get groomed and dressed up for some fancy event. The peak of excitement is at the very start, but as the hours drag, you start counting down the seconds where you can strip everything off and just be with the bare minimum requirements of clothing. Simply your pure, physical self; no garments, no accessories, no "enhancements."
The longer you roam this world, mask-less, the more you will cross paths with those who equally refuse to wear those masks. And trust me, Lil Joj, those are the people you want to meet.
You will eventually come to appreciate the beauty of all things in their purest, simplest forms. When you do, I'll see it in your eyes. And I'll smile. And you'll know.
You will know, Lil Joj.
With love,
This one's for her, my one, for being the stronger half.

Myths (Vinyl)
From Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase
[edit] Vinyl always sounds better than CD
As described below, despite decades of arguments, there is no technical proof of the sonic superiority of the vinyl medium compared to CD. One vinyl record may sound better than its equivalent CD for extremely specific reasons. That does not mean the medium as a whole is superior.
Many people do prefer listening to music on vinyl rather than on CD or digital formats. Many of those reasons have nothing to do with actual sound quality, and have more to do with the tactile characteristics of vinyl - its "feel" - like larger artwork and its required playback ritual. Others prefer listening to CDs for a different set of reasons. There is nothing wrong with preferring vinyl to CDs, as long as the preference is honestly stated on emotional terms, or is precisely quantified and tied to subjective experience, and not obscured with (fallacious) technical appeals.
[edit] Vinyl requires a better-sounding master because it is physically incapable of reproducing the hypercompressed sound mastered to CD
Different masters can substantially improve or reduce sound quality. Some have less background noise. Some alter the dynamic range. There are other mastering techniques that can also affect the sound.
There are documented instances of different masters being used on vinyl releases compared to CD releases. One notable example is The White Stripes' Icky Thump. However, there are also instances of the same masters being used on vinyl releases compared to CD releases. In fact, if you purchase an album produced in the last two decades on vinyl, it is likely that the master will be no different than the one used on CD. Alternative masters for vinyl cost money, and mastering is a significant cost of producing a record. The reason for different masters is that producers possibly view digital media (like CD) and analog media (like Vinyl) to be different in nature, so they might produce a different master for each medium. Some even believe that Vinyl will automatically yield a superior sound, despite the well known technical limitations and disadvantages compared to the CD.
The technical details behind this myth are as follows. The cutting heads used for creating the vinyl lacquer (or metal mother) are speaker-like electromechanical devices driven by an extremely powerful amplifier (several hundred watts). At extremely large/fast cutting head excursions, the cutting head coils may physically burn up, much like how a speaker's voice coils may be destroyed by an excessive current. Also, the diamond cutting head stylus may prematurely wear or break. This places important constraints on the maximum levels that can be recorded to a record.
A very high power output is required to cut grooves with a high acceleration. Acceleration at the same signal amplitude is higher for higher-frequency signals. Heavily clipped and limited CDs in the modern mastering style have more high-frequency content than earlier masters. In general, increasing the perceived volume of a record - whether by increasing the recording level or by limiting/clipping/compression - raises the cutting head average power.
Additionally, during playback, the turntable's stylus has limits on what grooves it can successfully track. Cartridges can only track grooves of a finite modulation width (measured in microns) that decreases in frequency. For instance, a cartridge may only be able to track a 300 µm-wide groove at 300 Hz, and yet only 50 µm at 20 kHz. This also places limits on the acceleration and velocity limits the record master can take.
The most obvious way to work around these issues is simply to reduce the recording level of the vinyl master. Multiband limiters exist for recording purposes that dynamically reduce the treble content of the master, to limit the cutting head power usage.
[edit] The vinyl surface is heated to several hundred degrees on playback, and repeat play of the same track should wait at least several hours until the vinyl has cooled
Professional estimates for the stylus surface temperature during playback are 300-500 °F. Obviously, the temperature of the record is at or close to room temperature except at the stylus contact point - otherwise the record would completely melt. Back-to-back playback will introduce slightly more distortion than a fresh play. This is believed to be a temporary effect and goes away after approx. 10 minutes.
Repeated playback (no matter what the timeframe) carries the risk of permanent damage. Obviously, records are observed to wear out with repeated play. No published evidence exists of back-to-back playback causing any more permanent damage than if repeated plays are separated by any longer period of time.
[edit] Proper vinyl playback is click-free
Pops and clicks are often not audible during a song on a well-maintained record and should not distract from the listening experience. No evidence exists of a record that is shown to be played back with absolutely no pops or clicks whatsoever. They are introduced at virtually every stage of production, from cutting the lacquer to the pressing to the playback itself. Some pops and ticks are pressed into the record itself.
Some pops and ticks result from static discharges during playback. However, this may be mitigated by the use of topical treatments on the record.
Because of the lack of evidence for a tick-free record and the engineering factors making such a record extremely rare, it is quite likely that no record exists that is truly free from all pops and ticks.
[edit] Vinyl is better than CD because it reproduces higher frequencies than CD and avoids anti-aliasing filter issues at the frequencies CDs can reproduce
The recording/tracking ability of vinyl is easily at least 50 kHz and perhaps as high as 100 kHz. The most notable proof of this is the CD4 quadraphonic system which relied on a 45 kHz bandwidth to be accurately reproduced. That said, the high-frequency response accuracy of vinyl varies tremendously. Amplitude deviations of 5-10 dB or greater are not uncommon in the 20 kHz range for many records.
More discussion: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=98178
Playback of ultrasound frequencies is still not guaranteed. Many MM cartridges have resonant peaks defined by the preamp loading, or stylus tip resonances defined by the cantilever, that attenuate high-frequency content.
When groove wear does occur, it occurs much faster at high frequencies than at low frequencies. For modern styli this is not as much of a concern, though.
There are rarely, if ever, any ultrasonic frequencies for vinyl to preserve. In audio recordings, such frequencies, when present, are normally low-energy noise imparted by electrical equipment and storage media used during recording, mixing, and mastering. Although some musical instruments can produce low-energy overtones in the ultrasonic range, they could only be on the vinyl if every piece of equipment and storage medium in the recording, mixing, and mastering stages was able to preserve them—which is unlikely even in modern recordings, since the average microphone or mixing console is designed only with audible frequencies in mind. Even if the overtones were preserved all the way to the mastering stage, mono and stereo lacquer cutting equipment typically includes a lowpass filter to avoid overheating the cutting head with ultrasonic frequencies.
Finally, on top of all of these issues, there is simply no scientific evidence that frequencies beyond the 22 kHz limit of CD audio are audible to any known group of people, or that such frequencies affect anyone's perception of the audible range. There is no evidence that reconstruction and anti-aliasing issues are audible.
[edit] Vinyl is better than digital because the analog signal on the vinyl tracks the analog signal exactly, while digital is quantized into steps
The Nyquist-Shannon sampling theory states that continuous-time (analog) signals and their corresponding discrete-time (digital) signals are mathematically equivalent representations of any bandwidth-limited signal, provided the sample rate is higher than 2X the bandwidth. All relevant advantages and disadvantages result from implementation details rather than analog versus digital signal representation method per se.
PCM encoding (used on CDs and DVD-A) records audio data in a quantized format. Analog formats do not have a measurable time or signal resolution.
PCM is sometimes characterized as producing a jagged, "stair-step" waveform. This is only partially correct; analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) does indeed use a sample-and-hold circuit to measure an approximate, average amplitude across the duration of the sample, and digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) does the same kind of thing, generating a rectangular-ish waveform, but this output is always then subjected to additional filtering to smooth it out. Effectively, the ADC output sample values are interpreted as a series of points intersected by the waveform; the DAC output is a smooth curve, not a stair-step at all. Additionally, modern ADC and DAC chips are engineered to reduce below the threshold of audibility, if not completely eliminate, any other sources of noise in this conversion process, resulting in an extremely high correlation between the input and output signals. (Perhaps a better explanation: xiph.org's "Digital Show & Tell" video)
The most significant impact of finite sample rate is finite bandwidth. The only analog signal that can exist 'between the samples' of a CD is rare supersonic signal components and random noise. Both are deliberately filtered out in vinyl and CD recordings. Another impact of finite sample rate is the possibility of jitter in the sample clock. If the clock is not exactly on time, the jitter causes distortion. Jitter error is unique to digital, and vanishingly miniscule.
PCM can encode time delays to any arbitrarily small length. Time delays of 1us or less - a tiny fraction of the sample rate - are easily achievable. The theoretical minimum delay is 1ns or less. (Proof here.)
The most significant impact of finite quantizing resolution is finite dynamic range. As implemented, CD and DVD digital audio formats have higher dynamic range than vinyl. The only signal that can exist 'between the bits' of a CD is drowned out by random noise from the vinyl surface grain. Another impact of finite quantizing resolution is systematic rounding and truncation error. The process of ignoring anything too small to be measured can lead to distortion of small signal levels if not splitting the difference exactly between quanta. This is the 'quantization distortion' most often referred to. It is another source of error that is unique to digital.
With a correct implementation using dither, signal quantization (ie 16-bit or 24-bit) only adds wideband noise to the signal, not quantization distortion. If this dither noise is well below the already-present noise floor, it is inaudible.
In inexpensive 1-bit converters, quantization can also cause spurious low-magnitude tones. This is yet another error unique to digital. Understanding of spurious tones is limited, but fortunately some techniques of reducing them have been developed, and 1-bit converters are now in widespread use.
Analog encoding has many measurable and audible faults, potentially including harmonic distortion, noise and intermodulation distortion. These distortions have invariably measured higher than for digital formats, including CD.
Tracking error is due to the use of analog encoding with a stylus that contacts the medium, manifesting as distortion and possibly also cyclic wow with subsonic noise if the pressing is off center from the spindle hole. Wow, flutter, footsteps and feedback are other errors due to the transport mechanism and transducers used with vinyl. Digital storage has none of these errors.
In addition to its advantages for audio storage, digital also has advantages for audio production. When a large number of individual audio sources are sampled from source into 24 bits at high sample rate, then digitally processed with effects and mixed into a standard multichannel format, the resulting mix is superior in dynamic range and harmonic distortion to what could be achieved with legacy analog processing and mixing, due to the elimination of thousands of noise-producing and distortion-producing analog components such as potentiometers, resistors, and transistors. Some digital effects such as lossy codec compression to reduce overall bandwidth (thus reducing storage space) without sacrificing psycho-acoustic realism are impossible to implement in analog, and require a digital format anyway.
Audio DVD or A/V Blu-ray medium is used in order to preserve the fidelity and channel grouping of modern multichannel recordings. Audio CD can also be used for such digital mixes, but at lower dynamic range and sample rate, and with only two discrete channels, with no lossy compression to reduce storage space. A third alternative is to rip to data disc and play back on computer via digital bus to a multichannel home theater receiver or equivalent.
In any of these preceeding three use cases, digital is superior to analog at both mastering and end-user stages, and represents an advance in the total sound production signal path rather than simply storage improvement.
[edit] Vinyl has greater resolution than CD because its dynamic range is higher than for CD at the most audible frequencies
The dynamic range of vinyl, when evaluated as the ratio of a peak sinusoidal amplitude to the peak noise density at that sine wave frequency, is somewhere around 80 dB. Under theoretically ideal conditions, this could perhaps improve to 120 dB. The dynamic range of CDs, when evaluated on a frequency-dependent basis and performed with proper dithering and oversampling, is somewhere around 150 dB. Under no legitimate circumstances will the dynamic range of vinyl ever exceed the dynamic range of CD, under any frequency, given the wide performance gap and the physical limitations of vinyl playback. More discussion at Hydrogenaudio.
[edit] Adding a penny to the headshell improves tracking/sound
The trackability of a cartridge is related to the mechanical parameters of the tonearm and stylus assembly. Adding weight to the headshell, and adjusting the counterweight to compensate, increases the effective mass of the tonearm and reduces its resonant frequency. If the resonant frequency is excessively high (e.g., 15-20 Hz, as measured by a test record), the increased mass may improve trackability by moving the resonance out of the audible range. Otherwise, it will generally only reduce trackability.
Adding weight to the headshell without adjusting the counterweight may improve the ability of a severely damaged stylus to track the groove, or the ability of an undamaged stylus to track a record in poor condition, but the excess weight almost certainly damages the record. A stylus in good condition will yield optimum sound with minimal damage to the groove when used within the tracking force range it's designed for. If the sound/trackability improves when exceeding this recommended range, then the record or stylus is should be replaced.
[edit] A cartridge is permanently damaged and should be replaced if the stylus appears even slightly bent
Cartridges and styli are hand-built and always have some finite tolerance in their construction. No stylus has a cantilever that is perfectly straight.
That said, a severely bent stylus can cause azimuth and alignment errors which may be audible. In extreme cases, it can cause record damage. However, the cartridge itself is unlikely to be at fault; only the stylus would need to be replaced.
[edit] Belt-driven turntables are better than direct-drive turntables
General claims of improved musicality and audio quality of belt drives are subjective and have no scientific basis.
In the secondhand market, neither type of drive holds its value any better than the other.
A poorly-built drive of any type will not necessarily fare better than any other.
There is a common myth that a direct drive will "hunt" for the correct speed and cause audible speed variations. This has no basis in reality.
In favor of belt drives:
- Belt drives are generally easier and cheaper to implement, improve, and repair than direct drives.
- Since belt drives are cheaper, a belt-driven turntable can come with a more expensive tonearm than a direct-drive turntable in the same price range.
In favor of direct drives:
- Well-built direct drives can match or outperform well-built belt drives in terms of rumble.
- Well-built direct drives can match or outperform well-built belt drives in terms of speed tolerance.
- Direct drives tend to last a very long time without maintenance; belt drives need new belts on a semi-regular basis.
- Belt drives tend to have noisier motors as compared to direct drives in the same price range.

Top sports moments: Mercy wins D6 volleyball championship
The year certainly provided a healthy dose of excitement for sports fans in Tehama County, with varsity high school, junior varsity and even youth sports programs shining when the lights were brightest.
There were Northern Section championships and league championships, as well as appearances in championship contests, and win or lose, they all gave us reasons to cheer.
After 2011 almost being the season for Mercy High's varsity volleyball team, this year was it.
The Warriors finished 11-1 as Five Star League champions and 29-10 overall, with the season culminating Nov. 17 with a 25-13, 25-27, 25-20, 25-20 win over Liberty Christian in the Division VI championship matchup.
The Lady Warriors finished second to Champion Christian in 2011, and seemed to have just about every piece in place for a successful 2012 campaign with the nucleus of that squad returning.
If there was even a small piece missing, that spot was filled in a big way with the addition of 6-foot-2 transfer Jessica Curl, who was a force at the net both offensively and defensively, and a tremendous addition to an already strong front line that included Ella Fleet and Breana Kemp taking the swings at sets put up by Kayce Kemp.
With the addition of Curl, opponents also faced the undaunting task of the offensive-minded Warriors always having two hitters up front that they needed to contend with.
Of course, it was a total team effort and the Warriors were very deep, but more importantly, they got along. As senior Mariah Kingwell put it following their first section championship in 10 years, "We're more family than we've ever been before and this means everything, this is what we've been working for all year. After being here last year and not making it, we wanted it this year."
Fleet, the Kemps and Curl were all named to the All-League team.

MCLA joins global effort to stop violence against women and girls
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - On Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 24-25 at 7 p.m., the Susan B. Anthony Women's Center at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) will present a benefit performance of Eve Ensler's award-winning play, "The Vagina Monologues," in the MCLA Church Street Center. All proceeds will benefit the county-wide battered women's and sexual assault service provider, The Elizabeth Freeman Center (90 percent) and the City of Joy Project (10 percent). The Monologues expose the mystery, humor, power, pain, outrage and excitement buried in women's experiences. It was previously produced at MCLA in both 2005 and 2007. Last year, more than 4,200 communities around the world hosted V-Day benefits to raise funds and community awareness toward ending the violence the occurs against one in three women, at home and abroad. During the past 11 years, V-Day has raised over $70 million for this purpose. "Violence against women and sexual violence are global problems, not just personal problems for the individuals who experience them," said Brianna Vear '13, one of the organizers of this year's performances. "This violence runs the gamut from the physical abuse and sexual assault of children, to sexual harassment on the street and at work, to intimate partner violence and marital rape, to war crimes. Because these are global problems, they require global opposition movements. V-Day performances are part of those movements." Tickets are $5 for general admission and $2 for students. The performance runs 90 minutes without an intermission. Parental discretion is advised, as the performance may not be appropriate for young children. Tickets will be sold at the door, but also are available by contacting the Susan B. Anthony Women's Center at 413-662-5497 or e-mail at email@example.com. The City of Joy is a joint effort of V-Day, UNICEF and the Panzi Foundation, which is building a facility for survivors of sexual violence in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. It will support women as they heal and provide them with opportunities to develop their leadership skills and economic empowerment. "The Vagina Monologues" first was produced on Valentine's Day 1998 in New York City. The original celebrity cast included Margaret Cho, Glenn Close, Whoopi Goldberg, Susan Sarandon and Gloria Steinem, and raised over $250,000 for local anti-violence groups. In 2001, it played to a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden, raising $1 million. By 2007, it was performed at over 700 college and university campuses.

Comments about Wilsons Leather Bentley's Small Double Top Zip Leather Shave Kit:
The product is great, no doubt. But maybe, a little bit smaller...
Excellant product

About Me Clean Shaven
Excellant product for my use. I use it to carry Diabetic supplies and glucose meter. The two compartments allow me to seperate items and only have one open at a time. Fits my needs to a "T".
Absolutely Perfect!

Exactly what I wanted, beautiful & functional
Great Little bag
By Mike the Magician
from Baltimore, MD
I'm a semi-retired professional magician and use the bag to carry my close-up magic props when working at tables, etc. Great little bag. I also got the same bag in the larger size - they are both great and well made.
Serves the Purpose
By KE
from Las Vegas, NV
Size is great for a carry on bag, but wish that it had one large compartment instead of the two smaller compartments. One large compartment would make it much more functional and versitale.
product suits my needs for short trips

Definition of re-export in English:
Syllabification: re-ex·portPronunciation: /rē-ˈekˌspôrt, rē-ekˈspôrt
- Export (imported goods), typically after they have undergone further processing or manufacture.More example sentences
- Irish and British prices were the lowest and this tempted outside traders into re-exporting cheap goods into high-price markets.

- Isn't it just a mishmash of cultures being re-exported after being processed and packaged in the US?
Back to top- 1The action of re-exporting something.More example sentences
- Hong Kong's re-export trade was also vulnerable to any weakness in China's exports, he said.
- 'We are trying to identify storage facilities for tea in Dubai which could be a regional hub for re-export to the CIS states and to Europe,' chairman of the Tea Board, NK Das has said.
- Imports of raw sugar to India, the world's second largest sugar producer, are likely to gallop up to three million tonne over the next year for re-export after refining, analysts said on Saturday.

- I think we also need to understand that China is also a major re-exporter, so it depends on their access to world markets as to whether or not they can actually dispose of that wool throughout those markets.

Right to Privacy
From Conservapedia
The Right to Privacy is a Constitutional right in the United States that prevents federal and state government officials from violating rights possessed by individuals. The growth of the Internet and of very large databases containing detailed personal information has made privacy a major issue in the information age.
Contents |
Louis Brandeis, later a justice of the Supreme Court, defined modern notions of the individual right to privacy in a path-breaking article he published with his partner, Samuel Warren, in the Harvard Law Review (1890), on "The Right to Privacy." Stimulated by anger at offensive publicity concerning the social activities of Warren's family, it adumbrated a new legal concept that has had lasting influence. Building on diverse analogies in the law of defamation, of literary property, and of eavesdropping, Brandeis argued that the central, if unarticulated, interest protected in these fields was an interest in personal integrity, "the right to be let alone," that ought to be secured against invasion except for some compelling reason of public welfare.
Before Brandeis, classical liberalism protected privacy as a repository for human passions in order to prevent them from corrupting rational public discourse. Brandeis saw emotions as a positive expression of human nature, and so desired privacy protection for them as protection against repression of the human spirit. Contemporary constitutional theory rejects the restriction of personal passions to private forums and protects the right to personal expression in public.[1]
Tort law
In tort law privacy relates to 1) intrusion on a person's solitude; 2) public disclosure of private facts about a person; 3) publicity that places a person in a false light; and 4) taking a person's name or likeness for the advantage of someone else (as in an advertisement).
Until 1965, some US states criminalized the distribution of contraceptives. In 1965 the Supreme Court in Griswold v. Connecticut, ruled the laws unconstitutional because they violated the right of privacy. John Roberts upheld "Griswold" at his 2005 confirmation hearings to be Chief Justice, and indicated the issue was closed.[2]
- asked, "Do you agree that there is a right of privacy to be found in the liberty clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?" Roberts responded:
- "I do, Senator. I think that the court's expressions, and I think if my reading of the precedent is correct, I think every justice on the court believes that, to some extent or another. Liberty is not limited to freedom from physical restraint. It does cover areas, as you said, such as privacy. And it's not protected only in procedural terms but it is protected substantively as well."
- "I agree with the Griswold court's conclusion that marital privacy extends to contraception and availability of that. The court, since Griswold, has grounded the privacy right discussed in that case in the liberty interest protected under the due process clause."
- "I feel comfortable commenting on Griswold and the result in Griswold because that does not appear to me to be an area that is going to come before the court again."
Broad protection
In his confirmation testimony, Roberts summarized the right of privacy. Asked "Do you believe today that the right to privacy does exist in the Constitution?", Roberts answered:[3]
- "Senator, I do. The right to privacy is protected under the Constitution in various ways. It's protected by the Fourth Amendment which provides that the right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, effects and papers is protected. It's protected under the First Amendment dealing with prohibition on establishment of a religion and guarantee of free exercise. It protects privacy in matters of conscience. It was protected by the framers in areas that were of particular concern to them. It may not seem so significant today: the Third Amendment, protecting their homes against the quartering of troops. And in addition, the court has -- it was a series of decisions going back 80 years -- has recognized that personal privacy is a component of the liberty protected by the due process clause. The court has explained that the liberty protected is not limited to freedom from physical restraint and that it's protected not simply procedurally, but as a substantive matter as well. And those decisions have sketched out, over a period of 80 years, certain aspects of privacy that are protected as part of the liberty in the due process clause under the Constitution."
Posner (1981), a leading conservative, presents an influential economic interpretation of privacy. He deals with the release of true but embarrassing information about yourself. He argues there should be no property right in hiding discreditable information about yourself and likens hiding information to fraud. Thus he supports publicity regarding the addresses of child molesters. On the other hand he agrees there is a property right to privacy regarding ordinary (non-guilty) information. For example, society protects the privacy of not being seen naked. Posner treats trade secrets owned by a corporation as a form of privacy,
Conservative Robert Bork argued that Griswold did not derive the right to privacy from some pre-existing right or from natural law, but merely created a new right to privacy with no foundation in the Constitution or Bill of Rights.[4] Roberts reply is that the right is indeed grounded in the Fourteenth Amendment.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
Pod, Homily, and daughter Arrietty of the diminutive Clock family outfit their subterranean quarters with the tidbits and trinkets they've "borrowed" from "human beans," employing matchboxes for storage and postage stamps for paintings. Readers will delight in the resourceful way the Borrowers recycle household objects. For example, "Homily had made her a small pair of Turkish bloomers from two glove fingers for 'knocking about in the mornings.'"
The persistent pilfering goes undetected until a boy (with a ferret!) comes to live in the country house. Curiosity drives Arrietty to commit the worst mistake a Borrower can make: she allows herself to be seen. This engaging, sometimes hair-raisingly suspenseful adventure is recounted in the kind, eloquent voice of narrator Mrs. May, whose brother might--just might--have seen an actual Borrower in the country house many years ago. (Ages 9 to 12) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
It's about a type of people, Borrowers, that are very tiny. They live in houses and 'borrow' things, like food, paper, and basically anything that they can get their hands on. They picture people as giants that are put on this earth to make things for them to 'borrow'... They live under floor-boards, behind pictures, over mantles; basically anywhere. That's how Arrietty's mother and father tell it.
But, in all reality, there is only herself, her mother, and her father left in that one particular house. Every other Borrower family had emigrated to somewhere else... and Arrietty accepts that until one day she is seen by a boy that puts the thought into her head that maybe her family is the last of the Borrowers.
And that's really how it all starts. Arrietty and the Boy form a sort of friendship, where the boy takes a letter to the place where Arrietty's Uncle is supposed to live, and Arrietty reads to him. (The Boy says that he's bilingual, and that's the reason that he can't read well.) And taking the mail isn't the only thing that the Boy does- he also brings the Clocks furniture, food, and other things.
Things which are discovered missing later.
And that brings in the cat and the rat-catchers...
One of my favorite childrens' books; I think the reason I like it so much is that it doesn't take for granted that kids wouldn't be able to understand a longer book... I think that's also what I love about the Harry Potter books, as well.
Anyway, read this. Very sweet, very family friendly. Altogether enjoyable.

Diner Reviews
We were a group of women
celebrating a co-workers birthday. One of our party received a steak sandwich that appeared to be off and tasted quite awful. Although this was replaced with a fresh steak it was disappointing to know that the steak was served in the first place. This same diner had her lunch completely ruined when her glass arrived with a large lipstick stain - she was not wearing lipstick. We have been dining at Chop since it opened but have noticed a definite decline in the food over the past few years. Unfortunately it looks like we will have to find other restaurants to dine at in the future."

As I wrote my review it kept
saying it's too long! So I'm not going to give details as this won't let me. 3rd time there as per requested from the manager & it just got worse! Drinks 20-25mins late, appy order was never placed, found our waiter playing in the kitchen with a co-worker aiming food into his mouth, appy came 20mins after we had waited 20mins to find out he never placed the order, bread never came & my dinner order was completely wrong! Valentines Day dinner gone completely wrong! Very disappointed! Will email Eric with details since there not even character space on here. Thank you!"

I had been to this place for lunch
a year prior and it was great! Excellent food and good service. We were a group of 11 people (for business) in a 'private room', the service was a disaster and the restaurant was quiet. I had to serve the wine after they brought the 1st bottle for the whole service. Plates from appetizers were not all cleared when they brought the main course and I had to tell the waiter to clear those place. Some plates were left on the table when the dessert came. No attention, I had to get up to ask for cutleries, the bill, service..... It has been a long time since I experience such poor service. Not impressed. Cute looking girl but they did not care about their guests. I would not go back again. The Food was good!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
Beautiful décor and comfortable
ambience. Delicious French onion soup, good portions for the prime rib. Waitress didn't count the number of guests and bring enough bread (wasn't enough for one slice per person) but she was very friendly and attentive with drinks. Online menu pricing out of date. The menus in the restaurant also had inconsistent pricing. Some menus had $27.95 for the top sirloin, some had $28.95. Pleased that the food came out at the same time for everyone. Overall good experience and would come again."

Overall, this night out for my
husbands 50th, was memorable. The service, food and ambience was great! Highly recommend it and looking forward to going back!"

We had a group of 8 for a business
dinner. Good selection of foods....steaks were had all around. Delicious. No one went home hungry. Love that you can get a mini version of the deserts. Wine list is reasonable and variety of price levels and choices. Was a little bit noisy from a table next to us with a similar sized group that was more focused on updating their social media status and taking pictures all night."
Dined on 2/18/2014
When we came in my husband and I
were greeted by 2 hostesses, One was extremely nice and polite, (offered to take our umbrella, asked how our weekend has been) but the other one was completely ignoring us (just confirmed our reservation for the night. Later on when we're leaving we found her sitting down at the reception area with her feet up the coffee table. I guess she was off but I don't think that's appropriate.) When we were seated our waiter came and she learned her hips in the table and she said 'so we have our valentine's day menu but it's no big deal, it's part of the regular menu anyways so whatever you know. Oh no my nail broke!'. I couldn't help but stare at her. Overall, food was okay. We were just put off by this waitress."

Was a great dining experience food
was so great best prime rib I have had in a very long time .. Wine list was very good . Karly our waitress was very friendly , and know the menu well gave us ideas what she has had and what she liked which was nice . Also she offered to order us another crab cake as there is just three in a order . We were there the week before and never got offered that .. She was just over all nice and really made our dining nice. Very quiet as this was my spouses first time and he wants to return .."

Very happy with picking Chop for a
belated Valentine's Day supper with my husband. The atmosphere was wonderful, the decor was beautiful (including some pretty bathrooms!). My husband and I both ordered the teriyaki top sirloin which was cooked perfectly and very tender! :) I will definitely be going to Chop again in the near future."

We were ushered to our private
booth and immediately greeted with complimentary champagne. We enjoyed our meal and our server made it a great night. Thank you!"

This year will be the 3rd
consecutive year that me and my girlfriend made plans at Chop. Everything was great; staff were very attentive and the food quality is always great."
Dined on 2/14/2014
In honour of Valentines day a
glass of champagne on arrival was a bonus treat, but as it had been pre-poured, it was a little flat and warm. The meals were excellent, starter caesar salad was crisp and delicious (lots of garlic), Tuna tataki was good, the steaks were all cooked as ordered. French fries ordered with one of the meals arrived soggy and cool. A new order was brought, but still the fries were a bit soft. The wine and ordered drinks were excellent and timely. The service was excellent. I would go back to this restaurant."

Went there for a valentines day
lunch 1pm was not bust at all. ordered soup and ceaser salad combo, lime mussels , onion rings, our soup combo was wrong our server sent us just the soup n bread.. and then minutes later the hostess sent us a soup and garden salad combo, i asked our server if they split the soup and gave us the wrong type of salad.He exchanged the salad.The salad was all dressing took one bite and the soup looked and tasted like bottom of the pot and microwave. Worse seafood chowder n salad ever. Our 9.00 onion rings seem to be over fried was hard as rock. lime mussel was the worse.$15 for sour mussel I ate them because it was 1.00 a piece.The coconut lime was so sour.. i had to mix it in my soup to mask the sour taste."

I brought my girlfriend to CHOP to
celebrate the 20th month of our relationship. Our server, Blake, was very polite and helpful. We tried the Coconut Lime Mussels, as suggested by our server, and they were fantastic. Blake had asked us if we were celebrating anything that night, and we mentioned that we were celebrating our 20-month "anniversary". My girlfriend had the Rib Eye steak, and I had the Prime Rib, both of which were superb. As I asked for the dessert menu, Blake offered to buy us the Dessert Trio since it was our anniversary. He also brought out a CHOP Happy Anniversary card for us. The service we received went above and beyond our expectations; coupled with the fantastic food, our night was made truly memorable."

We thoroughly enjoyed the food. My
Daughter said this is her favorite restaurant by far, (she had the filet mignon). Food proportions were just right and the staff were very friendly. The overall ambiance was cozy and semi private, with soft lighting. We would definitely recommend CHOP to anyone visiting Richmond, BC"

This was my first time dining at
this restaurant and I have to say it was a lovely place to dine very quiet and very romantic , the interior was lovely . The lady that sat us at our table was very pleasant and asked if we preferred a booth or table which was nice either would have been fine but we sat in a booth was a nice experience . The waiter was not really content with us at all as we witnessed another server at another table talking and explain the menu our server was not as welcoming and friendly . I do have to say the food was divine and would go back soon to have the prime rib is was cooked with expertise .. I was disappointed that they had no Mussels as the server said they had just ran out ."

This restaurant need to improve
their service the server seemed like she did not like working there. food came in the wrong order i.e.. crab cake was forgotten and it came with the main entree with no apology, we had to remind the server they forgot the appetizer. was never asked by server if drink needed a refill. overall bad service"

We reserved with CHOP Steakhouse
as part of DineOut Vancouver. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the DineOut menu looked enticing. The food however, failed to impress us as it should have for this occasion that is designed to solicity future business. The appetizer soup was lukewarm. The portions were small and the steak not done as requested. We were allowed to choose either vegetables or potato with our meals. Dessert was served in a demi-tasse that provided a miniscule serving. It felt as if the restaurant did not want to go to any expense for our meals."
Dined on 2/1/2014
I went for dine out and the 3
course meal was a perfect combination of variety and flavour. The staff was attentive and I enjoyed seeing all levels of staff from the front staff, management and even the chef helping out and serving food -- checking up on you to see if you are fine and need anything. They really know how to make your experience memorable. It was so busy but the high level of service did not get effected throughout our meal. I will definitely come back again and have been here previously for a large group birthday celebration. They have private rooms to accommodate large groups. Love it!!"

I found that for a place that you
expect to be a pleasant dining experience this place lacked that feeling. When people come dressed up in track suits, and far too many children there. This restaurant appears to be trying to attract the same clients as the Keg and it falls short. The reason I came here is because I had been given a gift certificate, if it wasn't for that I would have been sadly disappointed."

I made a reservation for Chop as
part of Dine Out Vancouver. The menu looked good but being that it was part of an airport hotel and a chain, I wasn't expecting much, to be honest. Very pleasantly surprised. On arrival we found two different menus, one for $28 which was 3 course, and one for $38 which was four course. Two of us went for the $38 menu and were very happy with every aspect of our meals. I did fund some stuff was under-seasoned, but there was salt on the table so that was easily fixed. The service was excellent: Blake was non-intrusive but thorough, and when I sent my drink back as being too spicy they immediately brought me a new one that was less spicy. The desserts were divine! I will definitely be back."

I made a reservation for a party
of 12 a week ahead for my daughter's one year party. I specifically specified a baby friendly room with room for stroller and high chair. However, when we arrived, we were brought to a separate room in the lounge area where the music was extremely loud. We also had to ask twice before anyone bothered to get a high chair for us. It was also dine out at Chop so we understood that they were busy, but to take 45min for bread to come and 1.5 for the food to come, that was a bit ridiculous. I usually love the food at CHOP but I was disappointed with the quality. Soup was almost cold, and dessert, my usual favourite of rum cake was also cold ( not counting the ice cream)."

We enjoyed our meal and would
recommend this restaurant to friends, Cheyenne did an excellent job in looking after us."
Dined on 1/28/2014
We came to the restaurant as part
of the Dine Out Vancouver promotion. We arrived at the restaurant in time for our reservation and with little acknowledgement from the hostess for the delay, we were made to wait 10 - 15 minutes for our table. We decided to go with the more expensive menu, which came with a soup, starter, entree and a dessert. The wait for the starter was a bit longer than normal but the Shrimp and Crab cakes were well done. Afterwards, several of us ordered the Prime Rib and when they were delivered to the table, the servers did not know which was medium well and well done. This was disappointing as you would think they would know. Also, we had to ASK for the soup and dessert. Food was good but service was very poor"

Bad experience at overbooked
restaurant that left my family waiting over half an hour. we were offered self serve wine from a table of discarded glasses left by other patrons, and asked if we could make do with a table for 4 to seat a party of 5. service really was subpar by any standard. The server did not clear our table even as she passed by empty handed and when she did clear the table, everyone was expected to pass everything to and fro down each side of our seats each time. It became quite a disruption and not what I would expect from any restaurant. The servers were inexperienced or simply unmotivated. I gave her a reasonable tip anyway as I feel it has more to do with management, poor training, and understaffing than the individual."
Dined on 1/24/2014
Every step of our Dine Out
experience at CHOP was perfection. The greeting, the ambience, the interplay with the server and staff, and, of course, the food was calibrated to make us feel special and valued rather than like discount diners. The 12oz prime rib ($38 menu) was too much food (rare for a Dine Out experience)! We would, and will, dine there again. The whole team really makes the restaurant a special experience, and the food is delicious!"

This is a restaurant that I would
consider coming back for the food."
Dined on 1/24/2014
We went for the Dine Out Menu and
found they had two - a $28 and a $38! The food was room temperature and adequate at best. The portions were tiny and if you ordered the sirloin you had to order vegetables seperately! For $28 I think they could have afforded a few veggies on the side (especially on a dine out menu)! The mini Caribbean Rum Cake was the only highlight of the evening. The ambient lighting was ok, however, not when you're in the powder room trying to do your business. The service, though friendly, was disjointed and slow. Overall we found it disappointing and not to the high standard one would expect. Our recommendation - go to the Keg!!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
The food and service was fantastic
but there were quite a few small children and a baby crying in a table not to far from ours. I think if the restaurant advertises BAR you don't expect to hear a baby's crying. The inside decor was so nice, very much like a bar or high restaurant setting so it was very surprising to see a baby."

Effects of tDCS Versus HD-tDCS for Stroke Rehabilitation (tDCS- Aphasia)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to assess the changes in language processing of patients with chronic aphasia after receiving non-invasive brain stimulation.Previous research using traditional transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) using 2 sponge electrodes has shown that persons with aphasia show more improvement after treatment when that treatment is accompanied by brain stimulation. Traditional tDCS has recently been modified to deliver current to more specific locations in the brain. This new delivery method is called high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS). It is not known whether traditional tDCS (more diffuse current delivery) or HD-tDCS (more focal current delivery) will be the better approach for enhancing treatment outcomes. To answer this question, computerized speech-language treatment will be administered during the application of the different forms of brain stimulation.

Anyone have Guidepoint VIP installed in their vehicle?
The dealer tried to get me to get a system like LoJack called Guidepoint VIP. It's satellite based and is supposed to be way better than LoJack. You can also use your computer or phone to track your vehicle or find it in a parking lot, and can track your vehicle in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Has anyone here had it installed? I'm wondering if anyone has had to use it to get their truck recovered or how well the computer or phone software works to track the vehicle in real time. The unit is like $800 so it's not cheap, but might be nice to have if the truck was stolen.

AR also revisits the liquidation of 360 Global.
One year ago »» Sabretooth Capital Management, led by Erez Kalir and Craig Perry, netted 38% in 10 months betting on low U.S. interest rates through its $50 million Yin hedge fund.
That was pretty much the only good news for the Tiger seed, however, as its flagship macro fund collapsed 20.9% in 2011, compared with a 1.17% climb for the Absolute Return Macro Index. In April, Kalir and Perry told investors they had made the "painful decision to dissolve the fund" and all of their other strategies.
"The two of us have really struggled to get in synch and row the firm in unison together over the last six months," Kalir told AR by telephone at the time.
Perry has been hired as a senior analyst with Panning Capital, the upcoming new launch from ex-King Street head trader Kieran Goodwin. As for Kalir, he told AR this week, "I'm still laying the groundwork for my next chapter."
»» Rick Abeyta shut down his $242 million 360 Global Capital following a full redemption by its largest investor, and "historic market volatility," as he termed it in a letter.
The Stadia Capital veteran was down 2.31% for the year through July (full performance here) in an equity strategy focused on media, telecom, energy, utilities, industrials, materials and transports, according to marketing materials. All in all the firm had produced a net annualized return of 6.18% since it starting trading in August 2008.
Abeyta has since signed up as a consultant in an investment role at Rick Gerson's $1.2 billion Falcon Edge Capital, which launched in July.

The now-retired executive owns an oceanfront estate on property in the area, according to BillionairesHomes.com. Aerial photos show a four-winged estate, with a pool and extensive manicured lawn.
His former colleagues may be less comfortable: Caxton's $7.2 billion Global Investment macro fund is down 3.32% this year through the end of August, according to an investor update from HSBC Private Bank. The Absolute Return benchmark was up 2.36% during the same time period.

The Rocket stove is based on an ingenious combination of principles:
The combustion chamber is insulated in order to keep the fire hot (above 1,100 F.) to burn the wood more completely, reducing smoke, which is uncombusted fuel.
The cooking stoves are low-mass, robbing less heat from the pot.
An insulated chimney creates a very strong draft, which helps the wood to burn fiercely. It also makes the stove easier to light and use. An insulated chimney has significantly more draft than an uninsulated chimney.
The wood is burned at the tips and is shoved in towards the fire, which controls the rate of burn, reducing smoke.
The air/fuel mixture is regulated. A small opening is provided for incoming air. Too much air just cools the fire.
The incoming air is pre-heated, especially in a downdraft stove, which helps to keep the fire above 1,100 F. for complete combustion.
This ebook covers several different designs of Rocket Stoves you can make at home with common materials.

Since retrieved tickets will now be considered printed, the tickets will not be available for pickup at a kiosk. Patrons should present the tickets displayed on their device to be scanned for entry at the gate. If patrons are unable to access these tickets, then they should go to a box office window for assistance.

So is it impossible to stop Google from hotlinking your images without affecting your visitors?
Can you safely block just Google image serps without stopping them from ranking images?
I know that sounds counter-intuitive but my niche leaves my images especially prone to scrapers who find them in search and they link them from spammy sites. I'd really like Google to use their own cache copy instead.
