Machines make our lives easier. We use them every day: simple machines like levers or wheels up to complex systems like cars or computers. And most of those machines were designed, prototyped, and manufactured through the efforts of engineers.
Engineers are now perfecting machines that can perform very delicate operations, including surgery on living people. They are also working on ways to make machines smarter, smart enough to take over very complex tasks such a driving a car.
Engineering is shaping the future with machines that we can interact with in different ways. Right now we have computer tablets and phones with touch screens, video game consoles that sense your body movement, and cars that can park themselves. Imagine the machines of the future!

Fate/strange fake
Talk11this wiki
< Fate
Fate/Strange Fake is a novel by Ryohgo Narita, the author of Baccano.
The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the third Grail War in Snowfield, a small town in California, ten years after Fate/hollow ataraxia.
After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki's Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield, California, north of Las Vegas, which is surrounded by a forest, swamp, valley, and a desert in the respective cardinal directions to act as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which lead to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of a "hero" being blurred.
The Mage's Association has sent Langel and his pupil, Fardius, to investigate the city and the status of the war. Fardius, a spy from the US organization, has Langel sniped upon arrival, despite knowing that Langel was simply a puppet. He announces that their Holy Grail War has been in development and that it is real, which causes an uproar at the Clock Tower, and wishes to "advertise" the project to the Association.
Due to the nature of the War, there is no Saber class Servant, but instead the seventh Master, the Player has the ability to summon different Servants for a brief time.
It was originally placed on Narita's homepage under the title of "Fake/states night", presented as a prologue and introduction for a role playing style game as an April Fool's joke. The text was taken down after April Fool's, but was later rereleased in the form of a novel included as an extra with the magazine TYPE-MOON Ace 2, with illustrations by Shidzuki Morii and an afterword by the author.

I've always used cedar mulch in my landscaping, but it always blows away. I want to start using bark, but I've heard it attracts carpenter ants. Is this true? I don't want carpenters unless they come with a hammer and nails!!!!
you are allowed to be cheap, too. You're welcome for the advice - just remember, free advice is worth what you paid for it! ;-))
Will do, I'm hitting myself over my own head with my own slipper!!!! Thanks for all the info.
and that may be one time. Yes, too thin may be it. My neighbour (who bought dyed red cedar mulch - don't particularly care for it, me) only put on a very thin layer too, over landscape fabric, and within a year it is practically all blown away, and the lovely landscape fabric is exposed. And his bed of perennials is definitely not damp, which is, after all the purpose of the mulch! Well, if you did want to save money, Elise, I suppose I would let you use about 2 inches, but definitely not less than that!! Get out that change purse, Deary, it isn't that expensive! And, just think, if it doesn't blow away then you don't have to replace it all next year ;-))
I don't use 3 in. Is that what I've been doing wrong? Aan, I'm putting the cauldron in the fireplace waiting for you to drop in!!!
Silly, it is just me trying to blow your house down.
Perhaps if they come in overalls, tan and muscular it wouldn't be so bad?
when you say your cedar mulch blows away? I've used shredded cedar or pine bark for years and it works fine and stays put just fine too. In fact, in spring I have to rake it to get it to loosen up enough to let the earth underneath breath. How much do you put on? I put about 3 inches at the very least. When you say "bark" do you mean the big chinks? because it will not retain moisture as well, if that's what you want.

Quote:Are there any non-Swarovision version of 12x50 EL binos from Swarovski?
Quote: There is no single binocular that is best for all applications. What I think makes the most sense is to get a pair that is going to be very good for hand holdable use (e.g., an 8x42, 8x50 or 10x50) and also and second higher power and larger aperture pair (like the sizes I mentioned above) and use that with a mount. And then after you got those (which I consider to be essential requirements) adding a pair like the 10x70 Fujinons or Nikons makes sense for the very bright views of the Milky Way they can provide. But in order to get the most out of a fine pair of 10x70s you need (1) a mount and (2) be able to get to really dark sky sites to be able to use them at. In an urban or suburban location they're just not going to be able to perform up to their potential and therefore I would not recommend getting a pair if you can't take them to really dark sky sites to use them at.John Finnan

Poured into a Samuel Adams glass it's head disappeared quickly. Color was deep amber with a faint chocolate and raisin odor. Taste was pretty much the same with a slightly bitter taste of unsweetened chocolate. Mouth feel was thick like porter or stout and low carbonation. I didn't like the spices so I won't try this again.

Bought a six pack from a local store here in Springfield. Beer poured with a very dark brown-amber and cloudy appearance with a thick head that dissipated quickly with thin lacing on the sides. Powerful noise of vanilla, cinnamon, and a buttery caramel flavor. The taste had more of a bitter citrus flavor than I could smell mixed with some bready malts. The mouthfeel was creamy, which definitely made this a very relaxing, almost dessert-like drink for the evening. Definitely a great winter warmer.

Pours a dark reddish copper with a finger of beige head that retained rather well and left some nice lacing. The nose is bready and has caramel notes as well. The flavor profile begins with a subtle sweetness from the malt and ends with a pleasant dryness. The body is medium - not super heavy, but too thin either.

3.81/5 rDev -2.1%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Served from a bomber into a Krombacher Pils glass stein.
Appearance- Murky reddish/brown/amber with one finger of white head that left a ring around the top.
Smell- Caramel malts, bready yeast, tart apple. There's some spice, but it's not overwhelming.
Taste- Malts, apple, stone fruits, very light spice. Very fruity and full feeling, but not overwhelming. No booze taste.
Mouthfeel- Pretty well carbonated with medium body. Easy to drink and not boozy, which I find is common in this style.
Overall- Solid Winter Warmer considering that I generally don't like the style. Fruit forward and easy to drink. I think it's 8 degrees outside right now.

4.06/5 rDev +4.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured into a chalice, color is an opaque amber, light tan head presents about 1/2 inch thick from the growler pour, some lacing and a light ring lingers.
Smell is light chocolate, some toffee, hints of fruit, light bitterness.
Taste is very pleasant, nice cleaner malt flavors: chocolate, toffee, toast and maybe some caramel on the finish; some fruitiness, some spice but non distinguishable.
Mouthfeel is solid, good tongue presence and lingering flavors, some drying from the strength or bittering hops
Overall, this is a very good, full flavored winter warmer style, cleaner malt flavors and good hop bitterness blend well.
Serving type: growler

This is my second offering tasted from Anderson Valley. It's a fairly simple winter warmer, a bit light for my liking given the genre. Not too much spice flavor, not a particularly complex flavor profile. Reddish amber color with plenty of foam. Fairly average, just not what I'd hope for in a warmer.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
Brownish red with 2 fingers of off-white head. Good retention and excellent clarity with low carbonation.
Cherry, molasses and caramel.
Rich caramel and biscuit with dollops of molasses and hints of candy sugar. Notes of cherry, sugar cookies, cinnamon and nutmeg. Finishes with a hint of spruce.
Medium-light bodied, crisp and subtly sticky.
Goes down pretty easy. Anderson Valley kept the spicing light which is nice.

12oz : tulip
Clear, amber red with a foamy, off white head.
Sweet, caramel malts, very light spicy, woodsy hop accents in both the nose and taste.
Medium body, foamy carbonation.
A decent beer overall, but the flavors seem a bit subdued at times, with nothing particularly exciting in this one.

Pours medium amber with a frothy head that laces and lingers well. Light nose of spice and caramel malt. Light body with medium carbonation. The taste is not complex, mostly a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. Balancing the spice with a bit of caramel sweetness would improve this one. Crisp finish with a lingering spice bitterness aftertaste.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Poured from a 12oz bottle into a large pint glass.
A: The beer is a beautiful, deep reddish brown color, with a stiff off-white head that fades quickly but leaves a massive arcs of spotty lace on the glass. Beautiful red color.
S: The aroma is too faint. It contains caramelized malts, fruit, (Apple?), nuts, some spices and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out creamy sweet almost like a cream ale - may taste against Sweet Action from Sixpoint - with flavors of caramel, spices and fall fruit. Not muscly enough and the back half is sweet. The hops presence is mild, and provides some balance. The after-taste is bready, crackery, and slightly sweet - like jam laden crackers with sweet tea.
M: Crisp and smooth, thinner body than expected, but lots of carbonation, finish is slightly sticky, almost cola or cream soda like. Needs more body. Orange or fruit liquor like
D: A bit too sweet for me. Definitely feels more right as it warms. becomes more after dinner cointreau, grand marnier like.
Widmer Brrrr and Sierra Celebration over top this one, but these beers are each distinct and a treat.

12oz bottle poured into wine glass.
Look: dark amber, thick dark khaki head, mild lacing.
Aroma notes: honey, nutmeg, brown sugar, maple syrup.
Tasting notes: honey, vanillia, cinnamon, brown sugar.
The first time I had this one I didn't like it. It has seemed to grown on me somewhat. It's not world class, but better than average for sure. Anderson valley is always right on with their pricing, I got this sixer for well under $10, making it a good value if you like sweeter Christmas ales.

A nice winter warmer from these guys. Smells of toffee, bready malts and fresh honey biscuits.
Taste is spot on with the nose, along with caramel and some dates. Sweet and thick in the mouthfeel, but surprisingly I don't get much spice, which I expected from a winter warmer.
Mouthfeel was outstanding. Overall this is a beer I could sit down and drink a few of

A - Copper to brown with small head & almost no laces
S- Spicy - vanilla? nothing too strong - malt, maybe cinnamon/allspice?
T -Smooth over the tongue, slightly malty, caramel but creamy - like a cream ale, actually.
M- pleasant dry caramel aftertaste with more pronounced spice notes, medium - body. Easily quaffable
O- I've enjoyed the Amber & Hop Ottin', bought it on a whim for $10. Easily worth that - very seissunable! Thoroughly enjoyable.
Poured into a 16 oz pint glass in my kitchen.

Pint draft had at Mellow Mushroom in Boone NC.
A: Clear reddish brown body with a off white head, that had ok retention and left a little lacing.
S: Smells Bready, and nutty with a syrupy sweetness almost like walnut or pecan pancakes.
T: Lots of carmel and dark homemade bread. Lots of nuttiness on the tongue. Very sweet beer.
M: Nice creamy mouthfeel, leaves a nice coating on the teeth and palette. Perfect amount of drinkability and carbonation for the style. Hides the booze well.
O: This is a damn good seasonal beer I could see myself keeping the fridge stocked with this for a Thanksgiving/Christmas party. I highly recommend, this would even be good for a non craft drinker. Perfect amount of alcohol.

12 oz. can poured into a pint glass.
A- Dark copper color with a brownish tint, abundant head four fingers thick, pillow-like, cratered, frothy and chewy
S- subdued maltiness, bready, spice, molasses
T- Lots of caramel on the aftertaste, vanilla, spice (maybe nutmeg)
M- Light, creamy, slight boozy finish
Overall, a flavorful, malt forward beer with a lot of resemblance to a wintry sweet bread offering. Well-masked alcohol makes it very easy to drink and light on the stomach.

Poured from a 12oz can, no #freshbeer info.
Pours a dark amber body, frothy head slathering the sides real nice. Hanging rings one after the other are left. Aroma is malty with twinge of cinnamon but very reserved. Flavor is also heavy on malt, mild spices, bit of fruit cake but nothing really strong. Feel doesn't leave quite an impression and i'm left thinking this is kind of ordinary.

Pours a honey orange with a cranberry blush. Hazed with lots of pariticles in suspension and has a stream of bubbles rising to meet a fat burnt cream colored head of foam that is slow to fall and leaves a cap and ring. Wet lacing slides down the glass. Nose is faint at first. Light sweet caramel and orange peel. A little bit of citrus twang and a faint bit of cinnamon. Then as it warms the malt becomes like a graham cracker. Sweet and dry. The dark fruits start to show up and date is prominent. A mild hop floral. Taste is like a cookie in a glass. The malt is light and fluffy on the palate and tastes like a graham cracker. It has a light brown sugar. The body of the beer is thin but it's silky and and it sports a bit of fruit juiciness in the drink. The hop floral presents well and the spices stay in the background. Faint cinnamon and nutmeg. The dried dark fruits stay light as well. Drinks easily with some ticklish carbonation and a nice finish of candied fruit peel and honey on a light biscuit malt.

The color is dark ruby and the head holds a light and festive fizz.
The aromas are somewhat spicy with a dried fruit backdrop. I get light nutmeg and peppercorns with a prune and date like candied fruit.
The flavor is reminiscent of Belgian dark ale as the dried fruits are at the forefront. The tastes are sweet with prune, date and raisin and the date is most evident. This has a real fruit cake like flavor but it is more alive than the waxy gift you may get at Christmas.
Everything about this beer cries Christmas from the dark ruby coloring to the fruit cake like smells and taste. The feel is thicker and lends to a more easy sipping by the fire style.

It pours a clear copper color with reddish hues and a thick, foamy, off white head.
In the nose I noticed some caramel and sugar cookie, maybe a slight hint of clove and cinnamon in the background.
The taste is full of caramel malt with a nice warmness from the ABV and a cracker flavored finish.
It s medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a warming finish.
This is a nice Winter seasonal and I'd buy it again.

At first I was a bit disappointed as winter warmers are often very heavily spiced --- something which the label guaranteed --- and this beer was immediately spicy. At best I thought it was better than average amber.
But then I changed my mind. This beer needs a little time to sit in the glass and warm up for it to shine. The flavors are still subtle but they are there: caramel and malt, winter spices. Mouthfeel is fairly light but kinda silky too (as the label also promised... oh wait am I being susceptible to the label's verbiage? Oh well, it is working.) Maybe a tinge of maple, definitely more maple.
Aroma was subtle at first but also seems to build in a caramelish direction.
Overall, I would drink it again but I'll let it rest in the glass a bit before sipping. I do think I prefer the more assertively spiced holiday beers though.

Had on-tap at Boat Works in St. Clair Shores, Michigan for $5.25 a pint.
Appearance: A dark brown sort of color with maybe half a finger of head on it. Almost no lacing. The low-point of this beer, but no big deal. Looks almost on-point for what I'd expect from the style, even if a bit lighter.
Smell: Candy corn. Really, that's almost it. Smells a LOT like candy corn. That and caramel... definitely a warmer as I'd expect it to be, with a lot of malt characteristics, and not much hop.
Taste/feel: Candy corn. I don't care for candy corn, but this actually really worked well for me. Seriously almost just like candy corn with some spice and caramel. I guess, now looking at other reviews, it can also come off as vanilla and caramel as well, which is basically the taste of candy corn, if I remember it correctly. Hops aren't really noticeable in the smell or taste per se, but this beer is not overly sweet. The feel has a nice, full-body, and a moderate carbonation. A very pleasant sipper, and a beer that I really enjoyed. I haven't had many winter warmers, but if they tend to be like this one, color me impressed. I'd very gladly have another. Well crafted.

I have been drinking this beer for a few years now, however this is the first year I have had the offering in a can. As a result, this beer vs. the bottle offerings from years past are different but not better or worse.
appearance- beautiful deep amber, but hazy even when warm, yet I never really care about this unless the style demands clarity. Winter Warmers can be hazy as far as I'm concerned. More carbonated than years past, not a shocker, cans do that.
smell- I have always thought this beer was spiced, however it is done sooo well I can't tell. Maybe cinnamon or anise or maybe nothing IDK. Smell supports the taste but in a more subtle way. Malt, dark fruit, bock-like malt flavors from the grain bill, like a little malt hammer.
taste- I usually reviews beers because their taste demands me to. This beer is malty like a bock or double bock which is evident from the grain bill reflected in the taste. Make no mistake this is an ale with sweet malt and firm dark crystal malt sugar flavors. Low bitterness very appropriate. Low Chocolate but no choc malt used.
Mouth- medium full
more people should drink and write and talk about this malty treat, more beers should be made like this.

Israel Warily Watches Across Frontier With Syria (Golan Heights)
(c) 2013, The Washington Post.
TEL HAZEKA OUTPOST, Golan Heights — On this wind-swept hill overlooking Syria, Israeli soldiers are keeping a careful watch, scouring the landscape for signs of how the revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad might affect the taut quiet along the frontier.
From the Israeli observation post, the adjacent Syrian villages of Bir Ajam and Bariqa looked deserted on a recent morning, weeks after they were the scene of fighting between government troops and rebels.
Some stray shells and bullets flew into Israeli-held territory during those clashes in November, drawing retaliatory fire that killed two Syrian soldiers. It was the first shooting across cease-fire lines since a disengagement accord that followed the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
Israeli officials say they have two main concerns should Assad be overthrown: that Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons could fall into the hands of Islamist militants, such as the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon, and that a breakdown of security in Syria, particularly near the Golan frontier, could lead to militant attacks against Israeli targets across the cease-fire line.
In public remarks Sunday at the weekly meeting of his cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Syrian forces had pulled back from the frontier area, replaced by radical Islamist groups. While those militants are for now fighting against the Syrian regime, Israeli officials are concerned that once Assad is ousted, they could turn their attention to Israel.
Netanyahu also expressed concern about Syria's chemical weapons, saying that because "the Syrian regime is very unstable, the question of its chemical weapons worries us." He said Israel was "coordinating our intelligence and assessments with the United States and others with the aim of being prepared for any scenario and possibilities that could develop there."
Netanyahu met recently with Jordan's King Abdullah for discussions on Syria's chemical weapons, according to a report last month in the London-based newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi. Israeli media said the meeting was confirmed by Israeli officials, though Netanyahu's office declined to comment on the reports or on suggestions that Israel was weighing military action against the chemical weapons stockpiles.
Moshe Yaalon, the Israeli minister for strategic affairs, said in an interview that Israel had in recent months warned Syria about a possible loss of control of its chemical arsenal.
"We conveyed a warning message that for us this is a red line, and then we indeed saw the Syrian regime organize to better protect these weapons, to concentrate them in a safer place and separate materials," Yaalon said.

Back to storychanging from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formaion is not going 2 solve englands problems.truth be told.england are just not good enough.trevor,new york city.
Posted 06:32 28th June 2012
I think honestly Roy Hodgson is the manager for England but his substitution near the end of normal time against England said it all. He decided to bring on Henderson who is a typically average player that does not bring any attacking force to the team. Why do that when you have Oxade-Chamberlain, who proved he can play well against top team when he played against France and Jones who has proved himself in the premier league. This just shows his mentality is completely wrong at this period in time. I hope for the sake of England he does change the formation and get the future of English football to flourish on the international stage. e.g Oxade-Chamberlain, Whilshere, Smalling and Welbeck .
Posted 06:16 28th June 2012
I wonder when people are going to admit that the England players are just not good enough. Ok let me change that I wonder when people are going to admit that our attacking players are not good enough. It is no coincidence that the best attacking players in the premiere league are not english. Defensively wise and defensive midfield wise we are ok. However as we have seen agains the top teams that isn't good enough. Even Rooney who is suppodesdly our saviour can't compete with the very best in the world. Unfortunately systems are not going to make us into world beaters. England churns out hardworking players but again unfortuntately that isn't good enough against the top teams. The honest truth is that we are not good enough.
Posted 00:40 28th June 2012
Total agree 4-4-2 needs to go and a new system is needed. How about a 3-2-3-2. Where you have 3 defenders and just in front of them 2 players who can float between defence and the 3 midfield plays and 2 up front. If the midfield go foreward you've got 2 players who can fill the gaps plus when the defence is under pressure the can drop back. Just an idea thats all,
Posted 19:05 27th June 2012
dont, think it matters what system england play, the fact is when it comes to the big games we are just not good enough.
Posted 17:58 27th June 2012
Because Italy can keep the ball through technical ability and england play the long ball and cannot keep hold of possession, not just the national team though the reason the english league is strong is because of the technical ability of the foreigners.
Posted 16:47 27th June 2012
It has nothing to do with systems. England don't keep the ball well enough. It doesn't matter if its 442, 451 or whatever formation if your players are not conditioned to keep possession forget it. Do England have a Pirlo, a Xavi, A Modric or an Iniesta. No.
Posted 16:34 27th June 2012
Semi Final 1 (Spain Vs Portugal) As mentioned, Ronaldo is enjoying a great euro2012 and besides Ronaldo, the Portugese have never threaten any defence and i expect that to continue. I'm absolutely not convinced that Paolo Bento will get his tactics and strategies right and to be honest, felt he was poor hence I'll sum it all up that Portugal=Ronaldo. Period. Spain, i have to agree with many, is boring to watch,actually an eyesore but who cares so long as they get the results right? And Del Bosque is surely a world class manager and tactician. They are going to dominate and i expect the portugal to sit deep and hit them on the counter and pray hard. So long as they neutralise ronaldo, they should have no problems booting Portugal out in 90mins. 2-0
Posted 16:24 27th June 2012
I agree on the 442 comment however Italy also played a 442 system for the England game, albeit with a diamond (Pirlo at the bottom and Montolivio at the top) amd width from Balzaretti and Abate. England played a similar system under Sven but that didn't work either. Why does it work for Italy and not England is the question?

National Park Service gives big boost to Saint-Gaudens historic site in Cornish
Blow-Me-Down Farm was purchased for the park in 2010 by its non-profit partner, the Saint-Gaudens Memorial.
"Beaman lived in New York City for many years and then bought Blow-Me-Down Farm in the early 1800s and started turning it into a gentleman's farm," Kendall said.
The motion and movement that Saint-Gaudens depicted in the Farragut was nothing Americans had ever seen before in a sculpture.
Knowing that Saint-Gaudens was getting pestered by visitors — because of his new found fame — while trying to work in his New York studio, Beaman enticed Saint-Gaudens to come up to Cornish to work on his latest commission, a sculpture of President Abraham Lincoln, by telling him, "New Hampshire has many Lincoln-shaped men."
The recent decision of the National Park Service allows for two phases.

All bike locks can be broken, but a sturdy lock and savvy locking strategy will greatly reduce the risk of your bike being singled out by thieves. This article compares the leading styles of bike locks.
Shop REI's selection of bike locks.
This widely used style offers your best deterrent. The bulky locking mechanism resists hammers, chisels and the like. Its horseshoe shape can limit leveraging—provided it's not way oversized for the bike. The goal is to reduce the amount of space in which a thief can insert a crowbar and leverage enough oomph to pop it apart. U-locks come in various sizes. Typical usage:
- Small to medium models lock one wheel and your frame to a fixed object.
- Large models lock both wheels and your frame to a fixed object.
The higher-security locks offered by many manufacturers, such as Kryptonite and OnGuard, come with limited bike warranty programs. Check the particular model of lock for complete details.
Cable Locks
These are versatile and adaptable but generally offer less theft deterrence than U-locks. On their own, they may be suitable for low-crime areas. Elsewhere, they are a good choice to use in combination with a U-lock to secure easily removed parts (e.g., seat). Many have integral locks; others require a separate padlock. Some feature sliding sizing or an armored coating. A few newer models feature stylish designs and even come in colors!
Chain Locks
Tough enough for high-crime areas, these locks use a specially designed chain link that disallows leveraging and resists hacksaws or chisels. Be sure to invest in a padlock that's just as sturdy—thieves can easily cut through thin locks, no matter how sturdy the chain. The downside? Chains are heavy and bulky, so they are best for stationary uses.
Wheel/Seat Skewers
Quick-release wheels and seatposts are, unfortunately, as convenient for thieves as they are for bike owners. Great for high-crime areas, locking skewers disable the quick-release feature and make it a lot tougher to steal. They're easy to install but require a special wrench that comes with the skewer.
Shop REI's selection of bike locks.
Other Lock Styles
These styles are occasionally used but are not usually carried by REI.
O-locks: These are designed to stay mounted on the bike. Modeled after the concept of wheel "boots" placed on illegally parked cars, O-locks simply stop the wheel from rotating. They are generally too small to be attached to fixed points such as a signpost, so are less secure than other choices.
Cuff locks: Just as the name implies, cuff locks can attach your bike to a secure post. The middle hinge is specially built to resist tampering.
Bike Lock Keys
Keyed locks use either flat keys or cylindrical keys. Cylindrical keys got a bad reputation in years past when it was discovered some locks of this style could be picked by a ballpoint pen. Newer models have solved that problem so now either style is equally effective.

Natriuretic Peptides in Kawasaki Disease: the Myocardial Perspective

Abstract: Making a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease with certainty may be challenging, especially since the recognition of cases with incomplete diagnostic criteria and its consequences. In order to build the diagnostic case in daily practice, clinicians rely on clinical criteria established over four decades ago, aided by non specific laboratory tests, and above all inspired by experience. We have recently studied the diagnostic value of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide to improve the diagnostic certainty of cases with complete or incomplete clinical criteria. Our working hypothesis was based on the fact that myocarditis is present in nearly all Kawasaki disease patients supported by histology data. In this paper, we review these facts and the myocardial perspective from the diagnostic and the mechanistic standpoints.

I'm like a magician. I'm looking at the screen and holding my symphonic magical baton and creating a sound, according to the pictures passing along.
Tan DunWhat Tan Dun composes is "world music", music that brings together everything that you had always wanted to hear. The composer Tan Dun is therefore a citizen of the world, a man who can blend all styles.
NRC HandelsbladThe Netherlands, 2003
Organic music concerns both matters of everyday life and matters of the heart. These ideas find their origin in the animistic notion that material objects have spirits residing in them, an idea ever-present in the old village where I grew up in China.
Tan DunThrough tradition, technology can be humanized; through technology, tradition can be renewed and passed on. Today, ancient cultural traditions vanish everyday, everywhere. If artists embrace the past and the future within their hearts, miracles will arrive… People always say that human life is finite, but we forget that renewing the cultures and re-inventing the traditions can extend human life infinitely.
Tan Dunregarding The Map, 2004
To me, opera is drama... What is drama? It's not just character and story development. It could also be a dialogue between real and surreal, between past, present and future lives. From an avant-garde point of view, it could come from contrasting different materials. To me, opera has a wider field of meaning than the nineteenth-century definition
Tan Dun[Water Passion's] images are unlike anything that the average Western audience will have encountered in a concert hall before. Yet its world premiere in Stuttgart…was greeted with an ecstatic 15-minute standing ovation. Like its model, Bach's St. Matthew Passion, it transcends language, cultural and religious divides.
The TimesLondon, 2000
A valuable addition to the keyboard literature, Eight Memories in Watercolor is a crystalline set of miniatures that spins traditional Chinese melodies around a core of tonal Western music, to evoke a delicately perfumed, quasi-impressionist sound world. Lang Lang played them with rapt concentration and a kaleidoscopic range of color.
Washington PostUnited States, 2003
[Yi2] has been described as 'flamenco meets Stravinsky in the Hard Rock Café', which leaves out only the Chinese cultural element that pervades the whole of this astonishing fabric of strange sounds and fluctuating emotions. It is perhaps the most remarkable work yet written for guitar and orchestra.
John DuarteGermany, May 2001
The libretto [of Ghost Opera] merges Shakespeare, folk-song and the singing of monks, but Tan Dun's real mastery lies in the way he juxtaposes his ideas, delicately, dramatically, and alternating tactile sounds with the glow of Bach or the simplicity of folk-song.
Gramophone, July 1997
Tan's imitations of the traditional Chinese fiddle... he himself left behind as a child, this performance has an intensity and magic that stays in the mind long after it is over.
Martyn HarryNew York Times, Oct. 1998
[Tan Dun] reveres Cage for his rigorous search for simplicity, his fantastic openness to experiences and ideas. And Tan's music surely reflects this in its yearning to reveal an inner voice, its east/west sound world, and its sense of theatre. His second guru has been Shostakovich, for the sheer power of his expression, and, because, like every true artist "he stood up firmly on his own cultural earth". For Tan Dun, composer and thinker, lover of all countries. still surely has his feet planted in south China's soil.
Mary MillerScotland, March 1993
Although Tan Dun belongs to the youngest generation of composers, his individuality and depth of musical substance already go beyond his generation. I believe he is one of the most outstanding composers today. I am constantly impressed by the expansion of his musical imagination. With a sense of the avant-garde, his music reveals to us the voice of the human soul.
Toru TakemitsuTan Dun puts both John Cage and Gustav Mahler into his pocket -- and turns them into Tan Dun.
Roland De BeerThe Netherlands, 1996
Superb lighting, magnificent costumes, sumptuous voices and well-developed characters all participate in the sublime presentation of ethereal music [in Tea] that colors both words and phrases. Tan Dun is, indeed, Puccini miraculously reborn into the 21st century."

Probably a year off for "good behavior" per Mitchell. You folks have to remember, the NCAA has never had so much legal pressure at one time. Miami will sue, other Penn Staters will sue. We haven't heard the last from Lubrano, et al. We still have Oregon in play for investigation. Plus the perjury charges will be dropped soon. I sincerely think Emmert has taken on too much water and is listing. Just need one new wave...

PSUJT0409 said...
I'm starting to think this is what will happen. The narrative is really starting to change and people are starting to step back and ask if PSU really deserves what they got from the NCAA. I think the charges will get dropped, PA's lawsuit proceeds to trial, and the NCAA settles by making 2014 the last year of the sanctions by saying that PSU has basically done everything they have asked them to do. That ends to bowl ban a year early and the scholarship reductions 2 years early. Not the best outcome but based on how certain things are progressing I think it's a reasonable assumption. The Miami case will be interesting because if they get hammered I think they sue and also that Shalala calls some of her friends on Capital Hill. If that happens Emmert may lose his job and things could proceed more rapidly.
white_out said...
Actually the scholarship reductions would be 3 years early if 2014.
People forget the penalties were not 4 years. It was 7.
No bowls: 2012-2015 75 scholarship limit 2013 15 scholarships per year 2012-2015 65 scholarship limit 2014-2017

"Another day, another dot-com press conference." So Tom Flanagan quipped in April at the Millennium Broadway Hotel in New York. Flanagan, vice president of marketing for Philadelphia-based StarCite (www.starcite.com), a fast-evolving meeting Web site, then announced StarCite's latest offering: customized sites for suppliers. But wait, there's more. StarCite is handling the biggest practical problem with online RFP use--that many hotels are not equipped to receive and respond to RFPs electronically--by giving free computers and free ISP service to hotels that sign up for marketing agreements.
"We're focused on both sides of the equation, as a market-maker should be," explained John Lavin, StarCite president and COO. The supplier Web sites will allow hotel salespeople to better manage RFPs coming from StarCite's planner users. Benefits for planners: faster turnaround and no need to retype RFP responses to compare offers. Benefits for hotels: happier customers, and a way to track RFPs--by salesperson, customer segment, brand, whatever--and identify patterns.
The computer giveaway is part of a partnership with computer-maker Dell, which will ship notebooks pre-loaded with a StarCite icon, Flanagan said. Depending on which marketing agreement it chooses, a supplier gets at least one free machine. ("Suppliers" come from 40 categories--from hotels to florists.)
StarCite also had news for planner users. A site redesign allows planners to track negotiated savings or "cost avoidance." That means you can point to a number as your company's ROI in you. Also new are three specialized RFPs in addition to the standard hotel RFP: forms for airlines, cruise ships, and CVBs.
The Millennium Broadway is one of 10 properties in the Millennium Hotels & Resorts portfolio that have purchased StarCite marketing agreements. Aldo Marsili, the hotel group's senior vice president of sales and marketing, said StarCite's partnerships with heavy-hitters like McGettigan and Maritz convinced him of the company's value and future prospects.
EventSource: Site Selection Plus Another meeting management Web site on the move is Event Source (www.eventsource.com), which at press time was about to announce a partnership with "a major travel company" that would, among other things, enable meeting attendees to book their own air travel online.
EventSource has taken the third-party site-selection model and put it online. The company's revenue comes primarily from the 10 percent commission it gets from hotels on meetings booked through its site. Unlike StarCite, which has made partners of third parties like HelmsBriscoe, EventSource is in direct competition with those companies.
Among EventSource's unique features is a forum for planner reviews of meeting properties. Some 500 reviews already have been posted, says President & CEO Ed Sarraille, who notes that hotels are allowed to post responses to those reviews.
The company has several other partnerships: with CommerceOne, for an auction-enabling product, Commerce Bid; with Extensity, for a "business-to-employee" platform, enabling planners to track meeting spending; and, most recently, with Event411, for an online meeting registration interface. (Event Source and Event411 will share the per-attendee fee that will be charged for the registration service.) Sarraille says that EventSource intends to partner with a housing provider as well.

Bailey is becoming quite the little hairstylist, always trying new things out on her own!
This past week, Bailey tried out this twist hairstyle and received compliments from her friends on it several times. I noticed the style even though she did not actually come up to me and show me… and sought her out and commented on it because she looked so darling wearing it!
{They grow up way to fast! I am so proud of the beautiful young women they are becoming!}
Then, with a smirk on my face, I asked Bailey if she wouldn't mind filming this week's tutorial with this braid for all of you!
I thought she would turn me down because she was so busy this weekend, but she responded in a split-second eye blink that she would LOVE TO!
Bailey says that if you can lace braid, then the lace twist is actually much easier to do. This hairstyle is a cinch!
Here is Bailey teaching all of us how to create adorable triple lace twists!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 3-4 small bobby pins, hairspray or pomade {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think of these deep waves! As always, if you loved this hairstyle, please feel free to share it!
Happy Hairdoing!

This week we wanted to share with you a hairstyle tutorial that shows several different ways to wear a bandana, each taking less than one minute to do!
I envision lots of you trying out these hairstyles, especially because the simple bandana accessory really can make a typical outfit look absolutely adorable!
This day, I was wearing a Mickey Mouse baseball t-shirt, with denim capris and red Converse sneakers. Adding a little red lipstick and this bandana really made the outfit and I received compliments all day {even though my twins said I looked like a 13-yr old}!
What I love about bandana hairstyles, is that there are literally dozens more that you can do! One of my favorite beauty vloggers of all time, and good friend of mine, is Kandee Johnson, and she really knows how to rock hat and bandana styles!
Hope you enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, curling wand, heat protectant, spray bottle, 1 bandana, 1-2 hair elastics, 2-3 bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: Each takes approx 1 minute
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:

Comment on this post »Our Same-Side Lace Braid tutorial has been VERY popular, just passing 3,000,000 views yesterday!
Well, my 13-year old daughter, Bailey, knew it was popular, so she took it upon herself to figure out how to get a similar look… but with twists! As you can see below, she figured it out!
The technique is very similar, by adding hair only into the top, but instead of braiding the strands together, you are twisting the two strands as you go back {like a rope braid}.
Here Bailey shows us all how to create "Double" Lace Twists on herself, simply to show you how easy it can be done! {I love that my twinnies are getting creative with their own hair!}
This is literally a 3-minute hairstyle! If you like, you may begin with only one twist which is very cute as well!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 bobby pin, 1 small hair elastic, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 2-3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:

Many people have recently been asking for more Shorty Do hairstyles…
Well, CGH#4 wanted to film a tutorial yesterday so we sat down and discussed some ideas together. {She usually isn't one to volunteer, so I jumped all over it!} Since she has shorter hair, she really enjoys braided headbands… styles that she can wear with her short hair to keep the hair out of her face!
Since we have been loving Lace Braids lately, we thought it would be a great idea to show you how do to a Lace Braided Headband!
This braid is different from a traditional braided headband, because you pull the hair strands only from one side… which creates a more distinct stranding effect from the forehead into the headband.
We think this hairstyle turned out super cute, and lasted very well throughout the day!
As a base, you can leave the hair straight, if you want. I used a NuMe reverse curling wand to add texture before completing the braid. We have a NuMe coupon code CUTEHAIR {all one word and all CAPS} that will give you $110 off any regular styling wand until May 1, 2013, if you want one. That is a HUGE discount, and fans are saying that some items are already out of stock! I have been told by the company that it will have them re-stocked by the end of this month.
Thanks, and enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, 1 small hair elastic, 1 hair band, 2 bobby pins, hairspray and curling wand {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
