Bocote and Bubinga rings
The bigger, redder one of the pair is Bubinga, which is bookmatched – cut from the same piece and glued up so that the both outer bands seem to mirror each other. This is cut from the same block as this bottlestopper:
Accented with a walnut center band and finished with walnut oil. US size 10 1/4 – 1/2 (20 mm inside diameter), 1 cm wide.
The smaller, striped one is Bocote, recognize this from the photo of the pen posted 2 projects back:
The smallest I've made to date. If I get much smaller, I might have to use X-acto knives as chisels!
Paired with with cherry, and finished with multiple applications of bowling alley wax. US size 7 3/4 – 8. (18 mm inside diameter), 7 mm wide.
These are the 13th and 14th projects in my 30 projects in 30 days challenge

The seasonally-adjusted volume index of retail sales showed an increase of 1.2 per cent from May to June 2014. This follows a decline of 0.9 per cent from April to May.

Most of the industries had an increase in sales volume from May to June this year. Stores selling building materials, hardware and paints, sports equipment and clothing were among the industries that contributed to the growth in sales volume. Sales via mail order and the Internet and sales of automotive fuel in specialised stores also contributed to the growth. Sales of ICT equipment in specialised stores, however, had a minor decrease in sales volume from May to June this year.
Working-day adjusted figures show that retail sales rose by 2.0 per cent in the period April-June 2014 compared to the same three-month period in 2013.

Watch Iggy Azalea fall off the stage at a VMA pre-show last night. You won't regret it.
Jeff Buckley's lasting legacy is that voice, a divine power that he harnessed and whipped around like some superhero with a killer haircut. Yorke wasn't the only one to imitate it; there's an entire school of (mostly British) vocalists who owe their careers to Buckley, including but not limited to Chris Martin, Matthew Bellamy, Fran Healy, and that guy from Ours. Grace is a fine time capsule of Buckley's tremendous singing ability, but beyond that, it's a portrait of a well-rounded artist brimming with inspiration…
Jeff Buckley's Grace turns 20.

L.A. County sheriffs said they've had Scott Weiland jailed for the past month (for stealing razors from a Rite Aid, and meth). It was an imposter.
On paper, nothing Portishead did really made sense. They took the themerins from '50s horror movies and the twangy guitars from '60s spy movies, sounds that had been there to help trigger an instinctive adrenal response, and turned them into downbeat hymns. They took the record-scratching from New York rap — Barrow's timing on the turntables was as close as anyone else came to DJ Premier-level perfection — but drained it of all hardness. They used breakbeats the way jazz bandleaders used brushstroke drums, letting them whisper instead of thwack. Even when the drums were loud, the way they were on "Strangers," they weren't there to crush. Gibbons had some chilly Billie Holiday poise in her voice, but she also had the ancestral sadness of a British folksinger like Fairport Convention's Linda Thompson. Her lyrics were self-pitying wallows of a type that Robert Smith would have to salute; when she wailed "nobody loves me, it's true" on "Sour Times," her follow-up — "not like you do" — felt like an afterthought. These were songs about absolute crushing romantic desolation, about wrapping yourself in misery. And yet they somehow became an entire generation's greatest makeout soundtrack. I don't know why or how Dummy worked like white-people Jodeci, but it sure as hell did…
Portishead's debut album Dummy came out 20 years ago today.

"Care homes could be saved by PR budget"
A Devon County Councillor says money wasted on its marketing and PR budget should be used to save care homes in the county.
20 residential homes, and 17 day care centres are to close in a bid to save more than ten million pounds but Liberal Democrat, Richard Younger-Ross, says the cuts are being made by the Conservative run council in the wrong areas.

The Chicago Bulls are known for their defense. That's who they are. That's how they are constantly in the mix atop the Eastern Conference, despite what is typically a ho-hum offensive attack. Last year, the Bulls were sixth in the NBA in defensive efficiency, giving up 103.2 points per 100 possessions. The year before that, they were second with a 98.3 defensive rating. In 2010-11, Tom Thibodeau's first year, they were ranked No. 1, via Basketball-Reference.
But through the first four games this season, the Bulls were 1-3 and had given up 98 points per game. Their defense was letting them down, surrendering the highest three-point percentage in the league.
After Chicago's win Saturday night against the then-undefeated Indiana Pacers, the Bulls look like the team we've seen the past three seasons. In the last four games they have surrendered just 82 points a contest and have won by an average of 17.8 points per game. Chicago's defensive rating is 97.1 over the stretch, good for third in the league.
Sometimes a team needs only one game to get things back on track. For Chicago, that game came on Nov. 8 in a home game against Utah. The Jazz, who came to the United Center 0-5, scored 73 points on the night on 29.4 percent shooting. Only three Jazz players scored in double figures and only Gordon Hayward (15) scored more than 10 points.
On Nov. 11, the Cleveland Cavaliers came to down. Cleveland, who was 3-4 and didn't hate each other at the time, scored just 81 points. Kyrie Irving, the team's budding young superstar, finished 5-of-19 from the field. Out of everyone who cracked the rotation for the Bulls, only Derrick Rose finished with a defensive rating above 100 on the night.
Rose sat out Friday Nov. 15 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, but Chicago's defensive continued to pummel its opponents. The Raptors' DeMar DeRozan scored 37 and Rudy Gay dropped 20, but no other player scored more than six points and only seven people even scored. Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry scored just six points on 15 shots as the Bulls steamrolled their way to their third-straight win.
But the real test came Saturday night against the undefeated (9-0) Pacers. Rose was announced active just moments before gametime. The former MVP, who had been struggling to regain footing all year, finally looked normal. He scored 20 points, shot 6-of-11 from three-point range, and didn't turn the ball over once. And again, Chicago's defense was stifling.
The Pacers 94 points is a little misleading. They scored just 59 points through three quarters before dropping 35 in a fourth quarter filled with garbage time. Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer played just five minutes each in the fourth quarter, Luol Deng played for four minutes, Derrick Rose -- who needs any time on the court he can get -- played for eight minutes, and Jimmy Butler didn't play a single minute.
Through the first there periods, Indiana shot just 32.8 percent from the floor. If the game had continued at that pace, 19 points a quarter, Indiana would have scored 78 points, not 94.
Paul George, who is averaging well over 20 points and looks like an early MVP candidate, finished the night with 12 points on 3-of-14 shooting and registered an offensive rating of 75.
There was a little worry over Chicago's slow defensive start. The Bulls have never been a team to rely on their offense, so the shooting woes were a little less worrisome. Chicago has always made its money is on the defensive end, and that defense is back.

When Northwestern senior Graham Ortmann learned last month that he'd been named a recipient of the Lilly Endowment, that was a major weight off his shoulders. The endowment, working with the Community Foundation of Howard County, awards full tuition scholarships to its recipients to attend any Indiana school of their choosing.
"It opened some options up and allowed some possibilities that weren't possible before," Ortmann said.
Ortmann found out in late March, and by mid April had made up his mind. This week he settled on Taylor University, where he'll have a spot on the Trojans' men's basketball squad.
"I had a tryout kind of thing scheduled with them as a walk on to see how that would go," Ortmann explained. "[The scholarship] opened it up where I didn't have to worry about getting money from them or a scholarship, if they had a spot for me then I could play."
Ortmann had been talking to Taylor assistant Brad Zarges about playing at Taylor. The scholarship made it an easy choice. The coaches "let me know they'd have a spot. I called them back and told them I'd love to play for them."
The Northwestern senior found Taylor a good fit personally and athletically.
"I really liked the Christian aspect of the university," Ortmann said. "I think it can challenge me academically, as well as providing the opportunity to play basketball there. I like what coach [Josh] Andrews is doing with the program. I'm glad to be a part of it and help them any way that I can.
"I liked that it's a Christian university so Christ plays a part in the team, and the way they do things there. I think I enjoyed playing with the team too when I had the tryout."

Gala gets on track
3:00pm Tuesday 4th September 2012 in News By James Tourgout
TWO Cornish locomotives have arrived on the Swanage Railway to star in the heritage line's Grand Steam Gala.
The Bagnall-manufactured saddle tanks Judy and Alfred – dating from 1936 and 1953 – have been joined by a steam locomotive inspired by the man who designed the Ivatt tanks which hauled trains between Wareham, Corfe Castle and Swanage between 1964 and 1966.
The ex-British Railways Class 2 tender locomotive Number 78019 will replace the steam locomotive the Duke of Gloucester at the gala.
The Duke of Gloucester is unable to appear in the Swanage Railway Grand Steam Gala because of a mechanical problem.
The three-day Grand Steam Gala bursts into life on the re-laid Purbeck Line early on Friday, September 7 and runs for three days until the end of Sunday, September 9. The Judy and Alfred trains will be topping and tailing a special shuttle train service on the mile of rarely used line between Norden Park and Ride and Motala near Furzebrook.
Swanage Railway Company chairman Peter Sills said: "The shuttle trains will be historic because it will be the first time that regular timetabled passenger trains – carrying the public in carriages – have operated between Norden and Motala since Saturday, 1 January, 1972.
"That was the day that the last British Rail trains controversially ran between Wareham, Corfe Castle and Swanage before the line was officially closed on Monday, 3 January, 1972, and lifted for scrap during that summer."
The locomotive Number 78019 will is loan from the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire.
Its design was based on the LMS Ivatt locomotives – the tank versions of which hauled trains between Wareham, Corfe Castle and Swanage from 1964 until the branch was dieselised in September, 1966.
Mr Sills said: "With evening trains running on the Friday and Saturday, Purbeck District Council's Norden Park and Ride attended car park conveniently next to the station will be open until late – not closing until after the last train.

Press release from GlobeNewswire (a Nasdaq OMX company)
First Busey Announces 2012 Second Quarter Earnings
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
First Busey Announces 2012 Second Quarter Earnings14:03 EDT Tuesday, July 24, 2012 CHAMPAIGN, Ill., July 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Message from our President & CEO First Busey Corporation's (Nasdaq:BUSE) net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $4.9 million and net income available to common stockholders was $4.0 million, or $0.05 per fully-diluted common share, as compared to net income of $7.4 million and net income available to common stockholders of $6.2 million, or $0.07 per fully-diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2011. In comparison, the Company reported net income for the first quarter of 2012 of $7.6 million and net income available to common stockholders of $6.7 million, or $0.08 per fully-diluted common share. The Company's 2012 year-to-date net income through June 30 was $12.5 million and net income available to common stockholders was $10.7 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $16.6 million, and net income available to common stockholders of $13.5 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, for the comparable period of 2011. Changes in net income between comparative periods were influenced by seasonal changes in agriculture-based products, large gains on the Company's private equity funds in the first quarter of 2012, one-time expenses, and increased investments in 2012 to support future balance sheet strength, profitability and growth. In addition, our 2012 results were impacted positively by our exit from the TARP program in August 2011, which reduced the year-to-date cost of preferred stock dividends by $0.7 million and the second quarter cost by $0.4 million. Also contributing to our lower year-to-date cost of preferred stock dividends was the March 2011 conversion of our Series B preferred stock, which had $0.5 million of associated preferred dividend costs in the first quarter of 2011. These reductions in preferred stock dividends favorably impacted net income available to common stockholders in 2012. Our previously announced loan growth initiative began showing positive results late in the second quarter and gross loan balances ended the quarter at $2.02 billion, which reflected an increase of $15.8 million over the prior quarter-end. Growth occurred in targeted portfolios with positive changes in mix. Commercial & Industrial loans grew $21.4 million while Commercial Real Estate and Construction loans declined $12.6 million in the aggregate. Loans related to residential real estate also rose $7.2 million, including $5.6 million in loans held for sale. Loans with the strongest risk grades exhibited positive growth, while loans with weaker grades declined during the quarter1. Our non-interest bearing deposits of $555.6 million at June 30, 2012 grew from $503.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $447.7 million at June 30, 2011. Furthermore, our core deposits of $2.7 billion at June 30, 2012 increased from $2.5 billion at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, our services per household increased to five services per household, which is approximately 5% greater than June 30, 2011. We believe this growth is indicative of the success of our B5 relationship sales model, which includes improved cross-sales to our customer base. At the end of the second quarter of 2012, Busey Bank continued to exceed the capital adequacy requirements necessary to be considered "well-capitalized" under the regulatory guidance. Additionally, Tangible Common Equity (TCE) increased to $313.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $310.4 million at March 31, 2012 and $298.6 million at June 30, 2011. TCE represented 8.96% of tangible assets at June 30, 2012 compared to 8.85% at March 31, 2012 and 8.68% at June 30, 2011. On July 27, 2012, we will pay a cash dividend of $0.04 per common share to stockholders of record as of July 20, 2012. The Company has an uninterrupted history of paying quarterly dividends to its common stockholders since 1998, when it first began trading on the NASDAQ exchange. 1A detailed description of the loan grading policy can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Asset Quality: While much internal focus is currently being directed toward organic growth, our commitment to credit quality remains strong, as evidenced by another quarter of positive trends across a range of credit indicators. We expect to maintain gradual improvement in our overall asset quality during 2012; however, this continues to be dependent upon market-specific economic conditions. The key metrics are as follows: Non-performing loans decreased to $33.8 million at June 30, 2012 from $34.1 million at March 31, 2012 and $38.5 million at December 31, 2011. Illinois/Indiana non-performing loans decreased to $25.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $25.6 million at March 31, 2012 and $27.7 million at December 31, 2011. Florida non-performing loans of $8.5 million at June 30, 2012 remained consistent with the amount recorded at March 31, 2012, but decreased from $10.8 million at December 31, 2011. Loans 30-89 days past due decreased to $4.2 million at June 30, 2012 from $15.9 million at March 31, 2012 and $4.7 million at December 31, 2011. As discussed in our prior period release, the primary reason for the increase in the first quarter of 2012 related to two large commercial credits which have since been sold or reclassified to non- performing. Other non-performing assets, primarily consisting of other real estate owned, decreased to $7.8 million at June 30, 2012 from $8.7 million at March 31, 2012 and $8.5 million at December 31, 2011. The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans plus other non-performing assets at June 30, 2012 decreased to 2.05% from 2.13% at March 31, 2012 and 2.28% at December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio decreased to 150.42% at June 30, 2012 from 157.75% at March 31, 2012 and 151.91% at December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio decreased to 2.52% at June 30, 2012 compared to 2.68% at March 31, 2012 and 2.85% at December 31, 2011. Net charge-offs of $7.5 million recorded in the second quarter of 2012 were lower than the $9.7 million recorded in the first quarter of 2012 and the $10.4 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011. Provision expense decreased to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $5.0 million recorded in both the first quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011.Operating Performance: We made great progress in 2011 to strengthen our balance sheet, and the Company is dedicated to continuing efforts actively underway to support organic growth. Our business outreach across our footprint has increased substantially, and we are encouraged by the volumes building in our loan pipeline and the new loan growth experienced in the second quarter of 2012. While our expenses increased as we continued to build out the infrastructure to support our growth strategy, we were able to maintain stable revenue generation through diversified sources during the quarter. Total revenue, net of interest expense and security gains, for the second quarter of 2012 was $41.0 million, compared to $43.6 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $41.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. Net of private equity fund gains of $2.1 million recorded in the first quarter of 2012, revenue was relatively steady on both a linked-quarter and year-over-year basis. Quarterly revenue was further impacted by seasonal changes in agriculture-based trust fees, declining by $1.4 million on a linked quarter basis in 2012. Total revenue for the first six months of 2012 was $84.6 million as compared to $85.5 million for the same period of 2011. Non-interest income revenue sources are helping offset declines in net interest income arising from slow asset growth and continuing margin pressure. Revenues from trust, brokerage and commissions, and remittance processing activities, which are primarily generated through Busey Wealth Management and FirsTech, represent 43% of non-interest income and approximately one third of total net income to the Company, providing a balance to traditional banking activities in a slow growth economy. Busey Wealth Management's net income of $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2012 increased from $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, and was consistent with the amount earned in the second quarter of 2011. Busey Wealth Management's net income for the first six months of 2012 was $1.9 million as compared to $1.7 million for the first six months of 2011. FirsTech's net income of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2012 decreased from $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2011. FirsTech's net income for the first six months of 2012 was $0.5 million as compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2011. Other specific areas of operating performance are detailed as follows: Net interest income declined to $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $27.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net interest income for the first six months of 2012 was $51.0 million compared to $56.2 million for the same period of 2011. Net interest income declines were driven by decreases in average loan volumes, which have prompted recent initiatives to guide quality asset growth. Additional liquidity generated by our growing deposit base has primarily been deployed into our investment portfolio. Net interest margin decreased to 3.21% for the second quarter of 2012 as compared to 3.31% for the first quarter of 2012 and 3.54% for the second quarter of 2011. The net interest margin for the first six months of 2012 decreased to 3.26% compared to 3.54% for the same period of 2011. The Company continues to experience downward pressure on its yield on interest-earning assets resulting from a protracted period of historically low rates and heightened competition for assets, which is being experienced throughout the banking industry. Driven by strong loan production, an active market for refinancing and positive momentum in the home purchase market, gains on sales of residential mortgage loans increased to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. During the first six months of 2012, gains on sales of mortgage loans increased to $5.7 million from $4.5 million for the first six months of 2011. Other non-interest income declined to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2012, but increased from $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. Other non-interest income for the first six months of 2012 increased to $4.8 million from $2.0 million for the comparable period of 2011. As discussed in the prior period release, the Company recorded a net gain of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 from income earned on private equity funds. The majority of this gain was non-ordinary; therefore, a decline in non-interest income for the second quarter of 2012 had been expected. Increases in other non-interest income from the second quarter of 2011 were primarily attributable to current quarter gains of $0.2 million in private equity funds and $0.2 million in the cash surrender value of BOLI policies, as well as a loss of $0.2 million on the sale of fixed assets recorded during the comparable period in 2011. Salaries and wages and employee benefits increased to $16.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the first six months of 2012, salaries and wages and employee benefits totaled $31.3 million as compared to $24.9 million for the same period of 2011. These expenses were at a four-year low in the first six months of 2011, and the planned increase in 2012 represents the investment in talent to drive future business expansion as discussed in prior earnings releases. The primary investment is related to our commercial banking segment to support profitable asset growth through value-added services to commercial clients in our existing and surrounding footprint. Busey Wealth Management has undertaken a similar strategy to support a diversified revenue stream and expanded client service capabilities. One-time charges during the quarter related to insurance and other benefits also increased expenses by approximately $0.3 million. Total non-interest expense was impacted favorably by a decline in regulatory expense as a result of a change in the FDIC's rate assessment methodology. Regulatory expense for the second quarter of 2012 declined to $0.6 million from $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2012, regulatory expense was $1.2 million as compared to $3.2 million for the same period of 2011. In addition, various other expenses rose during the second quarter of 2012 by approximately $0.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2012 and the second quarter of 2011 from one-time charges related to other real estate owned and strategic technology initiatives. Our quarterly efficiency ratio increased to 69.68% for the second quarter of 2012 from 59.79% for the first quarter of 2012 and 57.80% for the second quarter of 2011 due to planned expense increases as part of our growth strategy and the one-time charges discussed in the preceding paragraphs. The efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2012 was 64.59%, as compared to 56.81% for the same period of 2011. Peer data from Federal Reserve system sources suggests that the Company has historically compared favorably to similarly-sized companies in terms of efficiency ratios, with averages for peers ranging between 65% and 67% during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Overview and Strategy: Our results this quarter reflect the culmination of months of planning and focused effort to retool our teams and rebuild our balance sheet in constructive ways for the long-term benefit of the Company. We understood that this commitment would require the deployment of capital to support our investment in the future, and earnings thus far in 2012 have aligned with estimates of the short-term effects of our long-term strategy. Positive changes are occurring in our balance sheet, with the initial inflection of loan volumes in areas specifically targeted for growth and the consistent strengthening in our mix of funding through non-interest bearing deposits. Capital and asset quality continue to trend favorably, and the marriage of old competencies and new is melding together to create a more diverse organization. We have embraced forward-looking practices regarding sustainability and were recently awarded certification through the Illinois Green Business Association (IGBA), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping business reduce their ecological footprint by attaining certification. To date, Busey is the largest organization to earn this achievement through the IGBA. Environmentally responsible business reduces costs and renews our commitment as a good steward to our communities. Early stage success in building a stronger balance sheet structure is generally a positive leading indicator for future profitability. We are realistic that our strategies will take time to produce results and are working diligently to expand fee-based aspects of our business to counter headwinds the industry is collectively facing due to pressures on net interest margins.

Why we are using the bridge rectifier in most of the circuits instead of full wave rectifier eventhough the output of both are same?
Because PIV rating of center tapped rectifier in twice then the bridge type of rectifier.
Bridge rectifiers use transformer that do not employ a center tap, thereby permitting the use of smaller transformers. this saves space, cost and is more effecient.

Biasing means applying the DC voltage across the device for its correct operation.
In order to stabilize the q point and to make an electronic element properly operating a voltage or current source is applied to the diode or transistors called biasing.
Biasing is used to stabilize the Q point, for operating the transistor in various mode like as amplifier, switch etc.,
What is meant by virtual ground in the op amp ?
In differential amplifier Va-Vb=0 when Vb is grounded the node Va will be on zero potential the condition is called virtual ground.
Ideally the output of op-amp should be zero. So for this to happen the 2 inputs must be same. Hence one of the input is considered to be low or at ground potential. But this input is not actually ground hence it is called as virtual ground.
Why the antenna is called passive element?

Combinational circuit are those whose output depends only upon the present inputs but in sequential circuit the output depends upon both present and past inputs. that is the difference.
Combinatorial circuits are those whose output depends on only present inputs but in Sequential circuits , there is concept of Memory Element .So in Sequential circuits output depends on both present inputs and previous outputs(stored in memory).

Doctors at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent say some parents may not be as concerned about their kids getting certain vaccines because they do not realize the threat.
"Diseases people thought were diseases of their grandparents or their great grandparents, {like} pertussis, in 2010, we saw more cases of pertussis in this country than he did since the 1950's," explains Dr. Christopher Belcher, a pediatric infectious disease doctor at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital.

Hanover plans dinner to honor police chief
Giaccone went on medical leave mid-February after suffering a stroke. He did not return to work and instead retired from the position he held for the past 18 years last month, said Town Manager Julia Griffin.
A nationwide search for his replacement has just begun, Griffin said. The town hopes to bring on a new police chief by February or March.
"It's always a daunting task replacing department head-level positions," Griffin said, "But clearly when you have someone that has Nick's breadth of knowledge and experience," the task is even harder.
"Fortunately he's still very accessible," she said.
The dinner is planned for Saturday, Dec. 14, at 6 p.m. at the Class of '53 Commons on the Dartmouth College Campus.
More information about the dinner can be found on the town website, Griffin said, at hanovernh.org.

text: GamesBeat Show some love with GamesBeat's gaming valentines February 13, 2013 8:00 AM Mike Minotti 0 You've probably seen gaming-themed valentines before (like the digital cards we received from multiple developers and publishers), but the ones in the gallery below are special. Why? Because I made them! I originally drew most of these masterpieces back when I was an intern at Bitmob (which later turned into GamesBeat). I included all of the old valentines and a few new ones. These lovely cards feature characters from games like Mass Effect, World of Warcraft, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, and more. Please share them with your friends, and let them know how much you care! You must expose the world to my artistic genius!

NAACP 'discriminates' at its own rally
The NAACP sponsored a march and rally last month, and according to the Washington Times, required participants to carry photo ID:
Participants in a march and rally sponsored by the NAACP got a list of "do's and don'ts" when they assembled last week. "DO wear a hat and very comfortable shoes" and "DO bring photo identification (driver's license, passport or other valid photo ID) with you and keep it on your person at all times."
Left off the list was "DO as we say, and DON'T do as we do."
This is the same outfit that is among the loudest and shrillest critics of the requirement in North Carolina and about three-dozen other states that voters must present identification with a photograph.
The NAACP insists this requirement is discriminatory, even though the requirement applies to everybody.

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Select Route:
Located on the left edge of the slab this is the easier, but longer, of the top rope routes. The route hugs the left edge on the slab. Use smearing and small corners to get to the top. Because of the curve of the slab you will have to stand back a ways from the rock to see the whole route, but it is easy to find your route and the next bolt once you are climbing.
You will need a 60m rope to top rope it (and even that is just barely long enough) or there is an anchor/belay station halfway to easily make it two pitches. I listed it as one pitch b/c that is how most people I climbed with did it, but then again I had a 60m rope.
