Run Like Crazy Run Like Hell
104-page black & white 7.5" x 10.75" hardcover • $19.99
Ships in: January 2015 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now
After the teeth-rattling one-two punch of West Coast Blues and Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot, Jacques Tardi makes a third appointment with ace crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette for his wildest adaptation yet.
Peter Hartog, a rich industrialist, hires a troubled young woman, Julie, straight out of the psychiatric asylum to which she has been consigned for several years, to work as a nanny for his bratty kid Peter. But Hartog's seemingly altruistic impulse to help rehabilitate a troubled soul hides a darker motive: He plans to stage a fake kidnapping of his son, and use Julie as a scapegoat.
Unfortunately for Hartog, Julie proves infinitely more tough and resourceful than he expected, the kidnapping goes horribly, bloodily wrong, and now Julie and Peter are on the run, pursued both by the police and by Hartog's goons, led by the aging but fantastically dangerous contract killer Thompson — one of Manchette's most unforgettable creations, a golem of Terminator-like tenacity who is barely slowed down by physical punishment that would instantly kill a lesser man (he does not end the book with the same amount of eyes and feet as he started).
As with the other Tardi/Manchette books, Run Like Crazy... is full of moments of pitch-black humor, and a strong current of socio-political satire runs beneath its bleak surface. It's a ride to hell, but a devilishly fun one.

Love and Rockets Library (Palomar & Luba Book 5): Ofelia
256-page black & white 7.25" x 10.25" hardcover • $19.99
Ships in: January 2015 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now
In Ofelia, the sisters, the kids, and the cousins are all settled comfortably in California after leaving Palomar in Luba and Her Family. Luba and her cousin Ofelia's relationship has always been fraught, but when Ofelia threatens to write a book about Luba, past memories, secrets, resentments, and pain resurface. Meanwhile, Luba's children—genius Socorro, recently out-and-proud Doralís, and prickly Maricela—show that a talent for trouble may be hereditary. Luba's sisters, Fritz and Petra, swap lovers (as usual), but…are Fritz and family friend Pipo sittin' in a tree? These vividly drawn characters are charged with Hernandez's trademark complexity; they live, love, age, fight— and die—in this sweeping, multigenerational saga.

Suit up with your finest threads, comics fans. Saturday, December 6th at 8 pm, head over to the friendly Bergen Street Comics at 470 Bergen Street and check out the latest graphic novel from Marguerite Van Cook and James Romberger.
The Late Child and Other Animals is the latest graphic novel from this two-person cartoonist machine (a nice follow up to Romberger and Van Cook's Eisner-nominated 7 Miles a Second along with David Wojnarowicz). A generational autobiography written by legendary punk diva and award-winning poet Van Cook, adapted by Romberger. The journeys and struggles over decades of this mother and daughter are linked in five episodes that veer between lyricism, wry wit, and harrowing suspense hitting notes of European feminism.

CAKE 2015 in Chicago is already rolling out the announcements of special guests and we are very excited to tell ya that Wilfred Santiago will be storming the court with his new graphic novel about the local legend, Michael Jordan: Bull on Parade. This is Santiago's latest graphic novel since his homerun hit (oh yes, we know you love those sports references), 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente.
CAKE's announcement gives a nice summary of Santiago's career as well: His first professional work was seen in the DC Comics/Milestone Media series Static, and since then he has gone on to create the original graphic novel In My Darkest Hour and the best-selling comics biography 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente, and he has had illustrations published in Sports Illustrated, The Chicago Tribune, and elsewhere. He publishes Goodwilfred Sunday Magazine every first Sunday of the month with his wife. For more information, CAKE and Fantagraphics suggest reading this interview at The Comics Journal, or this interview at Comics Alliance. GAME ON.

Cochlea & Eustachia
80-page full color 8" x 10" softcover • $19.99
Cochlea & Eustachia appear to be twin human girls, but this has yet to be confirmed. Their actions seem to be motivated less by curiosity than boredom and an inclination towards purposeless destruction. Any connate objective remains to be determined. They never stray apart from each other, out of an unspoken proclivity. Perhaps they keep together because they resemble each other; a mixture of vanity and comfort is the foundation of their constant companionship. They seem to consider any creature with dissimilar features as inept or untrustworthy. They are suspected of giving hypnotic suggestions to cats. They do not seem particularly malicious, just meddlesome. This new graphic novel from the author of the acclaimed Squirrel Machine is lighter in tone than his previous works, yet its myriad charms remain as sinister as Rickheit fans would expect.

Hello again Laurette,
Yes, the list of Boatmen I obtained by writing to the British Waterways Archives. They very kindly sent to me, for a small fee, a copy of the Gauge register report of all the boats owned by a Tonks and registered for the Birmingham Canal Network.
However, this did not ensure that we had all the Tonks who did not own a canal boat, but was master of one, such as did my husbands grandfather.
Hope this helps.
Regards. Jean.

Ravens LB Mosley eager to carry on tradition
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- C.J. Mosley completely understands the significance of becoming part of a defense that has a long-standing reputation of greatness.
Mosley, the 17th overall pick in the 2014 draft, will seek this summer to become a starting linebacker with the Baltimore Ravens. Athletes who have starred at the position for Baltimore include Ray Lewis, Peter Boulware, Terrell Suggs and Bart Scott -- who once wore the No. 57 now utilized by Mosley.
The Ravens won two Super Bowls by playing rugged defense, and now Mosley is being asked to adhere to that custom.
Fortunately, the situation has a familiar ring to it.
"That's one thing about me coming from Alabama. It's all about tradition," Mosley said Tuesday. "Great defensive players, great linebackers came out of Alabama. For me to come to another great team, another great defense ... just for me to add on and keep that tradition going, I'll do what I can to fit in."
Mosley has yet to put on a pair of shoulder pads for the Ravens. That won't happen until Saturday, when the full squad practices in full gear for the first time. Still, the 22-year-old has already made an impression on at least one of his veteran teammates.
"He's a natural, man. He looks like he covers ground out there really well," quarterback Joe Flacco said. "It will be interesting once we get the pads on to see some of the running backs and some of our other guys go toe-to-toe (with him) a little bit. But he's definitely a natural athlete who can move around out there."
The 6-foot-2, 234-pound Mosley won the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker in 2013 and was the SEC defensive player of the year. He started all 13 games at weak inside linebacker and was Alabama's leading tackler for a second consecutive season.
Baltimore lost linebackers Jameel McClain and Arthur Jones during the offseason. Although Mosley can play inside or out, he will likely compete against Arthur Brown to join Daryl Smith in the middle of the Ravens defense.
"The competition is going to start as soon as we get our pads on," Mosley said. "Everybody knows what to do, everybody is athletic, everybody is fast, everybody wants to play. Whoever plays on Sunday will have to show it in preseason and in these practices."
There once was a time when a top draft pick held out for a bigger contract and began practicing for the first time after training camp had already started. Not anymore. Mosley signed a standard contract long ago, familiarized himself with the Baltimore defense during offseason minicamp sessions and is now ready to go.
"I grew so much, watching the older guys and the veterans come in and just knowing what to do," he said.
The veterans report Wednesday and the first practice is Thursday. When the pads go on Saturday, Mosley will begin to really show his stuff.
"So far, so good," coach John Harbaugh said. "We'll know more in a week, once we get more in and the bullets start flying a little bit faster and he's got to make decisions more in game-like situations."
Mosley can't wait. At this point, being a starter isn't as important as simply proving he belongs.
"I have to show what I'm made of," he said. "We've been practicing for a long time. I'm ready to get in pads and show these coaches that they picked me for a reason."

Interesting that you would bring that up unwarranted, and unrequested. You do see the irony of that being in your thoughts and not mine, correct? I hope you do.<quoted text>
..and in case you're thinking it, I've never bashed you for your dress code, nor inquired as to your gender or sex status.
That doesn't mean that I won't make assumptions. Your avatar appears to be a personal picture. Your age seems to be mid-fortyish. My first assumption was that you were female, due to your seemingly slender bone structure, but the "goth" fashion and the fact that you're a programmer(a stereotypically male job) led me to conclude that you aren't altogether mainstream in your disposition.
From there, I don't ask, and you didn't tell. I avoided the cat fights that followed you, although I wondered if you were more blatantly political on other threads, and considered the possibility that you were an advocate for alternative lifestyles. As long as it was on a thread about those things, that's fine.
I can live with all that, but politics makes people paranoid and when someone like "imsickofit" came into a forum discussion and immediately turned it into a gay rights discussion, he disrupted an order that we've grown accustomed to. He probably does that on every thread. I don't reward that with civility.

Tell me how many times have you been hit on by a gay man? It sounds like you are besieged by gay man, having to keep them at bay and all. Did you ever stop and consider where you hang out or how you behave might me the issue?? Most gay men can recognize another gay man and most don't go and hit on straight men.
"I absolutely do reserve my right to defend myself against advances by a homosexual without being accused of a hate crime."
Women have to fend off advances from straight men every day. So yes unwanted advances impacts most women I know everyday.

Here's my reply to the concept of mutant gene:
I used to think that we can turn on and turn off genes that are dormant or active at will or by other factors in the environment. When we learn a new trait or develop a new talent or ability, the brain is sending all kinds of signals to the body. When we become aware of it, it is stored in something like memory cells. But I don't think the old genes that were active before adaptation of new traits is lost. We just 'created' new information that is stored in our memory that makes other genes less active. We can do this by consciously responding to a stimuli. The mutant genes are the by-product.

As with all things, there are reasonable risks and foolish risks and not all kids will respond the same way although it's rare to find one who will rebel against their parents, no matter the politics.
For my part, I won't:
*encumber myself with unnecessary responsibility while fighting for something I believe in.
*raise kids in a community where I don't have sufficient respect from that community.
*marry a woman based on what the community wants or expects of me.
*marry a woman who doesn't sufficiently understand the social complications of the mutual relationship.
*ever trust a church or political organization to protect me.
*use kids as a shield for my politics.
Maybe I'm just more honest about these things than most people and maybe I'm just rationalizing something else. I can't and won't try to change your mind on such things.
I think at least four of those six points are being denied by the average gay couple who wants to raise kids. Some of them may be deserved, some not, but in that particular case, there's another biological parent to consider. That's why the odds are against public support of that issue.
No matter how long the political parties let the economy run down the toilet, you won't get consensus as long as you demand gay marriage as a condition of any and every other liberal political agenda.

If homosexuality is a learned behavior, wouldn't the flip side of the coin also be true, that heterosexuality is a learned behavior.
Please enlighten me, when did you make a choice to be attracted to the opposite sex?
I for one was always attracted to women before I was in first grade. I can remember finding my Dad's Playboys at about 9 or 10.
I never woke up one day and decided to be attracted to the opposite sex, it was just there. So I can't imagine it would be any other way for a homosexual. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Actually, more than once, and always it's been like contending with a boar in a rut. Nothing civil about it.
I respect what women have to contend with concerning unwanted advances. That often doesn't stop them from pursuing alpha thugs.
As far as appearing gay goes, well, I think I may appear a bit androgynous to them. I'm right brain dominant, and I think that there may be a certain "feline" quality of appearance to me that may come from some Native American in the family tree.(kind of thick eyelashes too!) I don't ugly myself up, but I don't market myself as a pretty boy either! I just don't try to be a thug because I know that fighting back against one football player or gang member won't end at that. They're pack animals and I have no interest in the pack.

Heterosexuality is not learned, it is a basic instinct. Homosexual behaviors are traits that have crossed the boundaries of our basic instincts. It's become 'mutant genes' and therefore can be passed on. The environment can influence your biological traits and you have a choice to either respond passively or actively or consciously or subconsciously. It all starts from infancy. A child can respond to his environment actively and can learn homosexual traits that he has inherited while developing a personality at a young age. Some takes decades before they realize they must satisfy those homosexual tendencies. It's because it has taken that time for the environmental factors to nurture the those needs. It's all psychological really. Our body just responds to what the mind tells us.
#69322 Dec 31, 2012
I suppose you are referring to the cat fights. To some extent, it seemed that you weren't avoiding them but you were not being quite so mean as others so I figured I wouldn't butt in and ruin your style of debate. Was that the wrong assumption to make? As I've said, I do make assumptions and the Goth style of dress usually suggests someone who does things their own way.

Lumped parameter approaches for modeling the cardiovascular system typically have many parameters of which many are not identifiable. The conventional approach is to only identify a small subset of parameters to match measured data, and to set the remaining parameters at population values. These values are often based on animal data or the "average human" response. The problem, is that setting many parameters at nominal fixed values, may introduce dynamics that are not present in a specific patient. As parameter numbers and model complexity increase, more clinical data is required for validation and the model limitations are harder to quantify. This paper considers the modeling and the parameter identification simultaneously, and creates models that are one to one with the measurements. That is, every input parameter into the model is uniquely optimized to capture the clinical data and no parameters are set at population values. The result is a geometrical characterization of a previously developed six chamber heart model, and a completely patient specific approach to cardiac diagnosis in critical care. In addition, simplified sub-structures of the six chamber model are created to provide very fast and accurate parameter identification from arbitrary starting points and with no prior knowledge on the parameters. Furthermore, by utilizing continuous information from the arterial/pulmonary pressure waveforms and the end-diastolic time, it is shown that only the stroke volumes of the ventricles are required for adequate cardiac diagnosis. This reduced data set is more practical for an intensive care unit as the maximum and minimum volumes are no longer needed, which was a requirement in prior work. The simplified models can also act as a bridge to identifying more sophisticated cardiac models, by providing a generating set of waveforms that the complex models can match to. Most importantly, this approach does not have any predefined assumptions on patient dynamics other than the basic model structure, and is thus suitable for improving cardiovascular management in critical care by optimizing therapy for individual patients. © 2009 IFAC.

The aim of this study was to test whether the simple ratio of right ventricular (RV) end-systolic pressure (Pes) to stroke volume (SV), known as the effective arterial elastance (Ea), provides a valid assessment of pulmonary arterial load in case of pulmonary embolism- or endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension. Ventricular pressure-volume (PV) data (obtained with conductance catheters) and invasive pulmonary arterial pressure and flow waveforms were simultaneously recorded in two groups of six pure Pietran pigs, submitted either to pulmonary embolism (group A) or endotoxic shock (group B). Measurements were obtained at baseline and each 30 min after injection of autologous blood clots (0.3 g/kg) in the superior vena cava in group A and after endotoxin infusion in group B. Two methods of calculation of pulmonary arterial load were compared. On one hand, Ea provided by using three-element windkessel model (WK) of the pulmonary arterial system [Ea(WK)] was referred to as standard computation. On the other hand, similar to the systemic circulation, Ea was assessed as the ratio of RV Pes to SV [Ea(PV) = Pes/SV]. In both groups, although the correlation between Ea(PV) and Ea(WK) was excellent over a broad range of altered conditions, Ea(PV) systematically overestimated Ea(WK). This offset disappeared when left atrial pressure (Pla) was incorporated into Ea [Ea * (PV) = (Pes - Pla)/SV]. Thus Ea * (PV), defined as the ratio of RV Pes minus Pla to SV, provides a convenient, useful, and simple method to assess the pulmonary arterial load and its impact on the RV function.

This paper investigates the impact of fast parameter identification methods, which do not require any forward simulations, on model-based glucose control, using retrospective data in the Christchurch Hospital Intensive Care Unit. The integral-based identification method has been previously clinically validated and extensively applied in a number of biomedical applications; and is a crucial element in the presented model-based therapeutics approach. Common non-linear regression and gradient descent approaches are too computationally intense and not suitable for the glucose control applications presented. The main focus in this paper is on better characterizing and understanding the importance of the integral in the formulation and the effect it has on model-based drug therapy control. As a comparison, a potentially more natural derivative formulation which has the same computation speed advantages is investigated, and is shown to go unstable with respect to modelling error which is always present clinically. The integral method remains robust. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 7 (0 ULg)

In acute pulmonary embolism, right ventricular (RV) failure may result from exceeding myocardial contractile resources with respect to the state of vascular afterload. We investigated the adaptation of RV performance in a porcine model of progressive pulmonary embolism. Twelve anesthetized pigs were randomly divided into two groups: gradual pulmonary arterial pressure increases by three injections of autologous blood clot (n = 6) or sham-operated controls (n = 6). Right ventricular pressure-volume (PV) loops were recorded using a conductance catheter. Right ventricular contractility was estimated by the slope of the end-systolic PV relationship (Ees). Afterload was referred to as pulmonary arterial elastance (Ea) and assessed using a four-element Windkessel model. Right ventricular-arterial coupling (Ees/Ea) and efficiency of energy transfer (from PV area to external mechanical work [stroke work]) were assessed at baseline and every 30 min for 4 h. Eaincreased progressively after embolization, from 0.26 +/- 0.04 to 2.2 +/- 0.7 mmHg mL (P < 0.05). Ees increased from 1.01 +/-0.07 to 2.35 +/- 0.27 mmHg mL (P < 0.05) after the first two injections but failed to increase any further. As a result, Ees/Ea initially decreased to values associated with optimal SW, but the last injection was responsible for Ees/Ea values less than 1, decreased stroke volume, and RV dilation. Stroke work/PV area consistently decreased with each injection from 79% +/- 3% to 39% +/- 11% (P < 0.05). In response to gradual increases in afterload, RV contractility reserve was recruited to a point of optimal coupling but submaximal efficiency. Further afterload increases led to RV-vascular uncoupling and failure. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 28 (5 ULg)

I think it's safe to say we all have our favourite athletic brands.
I try to buy as much of my workout tops and bottoms on sale, but when it comes to footwear, I've been very loyal to one brand (and will gladly pay full price): Nike!
I know, I know everyone has their own opinion on the Nike brand, but I've never been disappointed with their cross-training shoes (and I've been buying Nike cross-trainers for over a decade).
I've tried Reebok and New Balance, but always go back to Nike. I've found that New Balance was always too wide for my foot and I've found that Reebok was not a brand that sporting stores carried on a regular basis where I live so even if I did like the shoe, I was never guaranteed to find it again.
I spent a good part of the month of July working out in some of the new Nike clothing that I like quite a lot and I also got a pair of killer Nike walking shoes.
Since you must know by now how I take skipping rope seriously, I have to say that Nike has impressed me in that department as well.
To make this an easy read, I've broken down all the Nike items I've tried lately.
Also, before I continue, I want to say that Nike did NOT pay me at all for this post. I'm actually writing this because I genuinely love their products!
>>> Nike products I like a lot!
1) Nike makes the best skipping rope!
I've bought and tried out so many skipping ropes and most are too short or they just aren't the best if you want to skip for a long period of time. I usually do 15-minute sessions (which are my short skipping sessions) or 30-minute sessions (when I skip rope for 30 minutes that usually mean that I can barely feel my legs when I'm done, but the workout is so intense that it's a huge high for me).
During my recent review of the fitness boxing classes at the Delisle Extreme Gym, I was able to try out a Nike rope. I picked it up because it looked longer than the others. When I tested it, I quickly realized this was superior skipping rope. After testing out the rope for a few sessions, I quickly made my way to my Nike store and bought a rope.
Now, there is an important thing to know about Nike skipping ropes. You can either choose the skipping rope designed for cardio work Nike Speed Rope (which is a lightweight rope) or you can also choose a rope that's designed for cardio and strength training Nike Strength Rope (this rope has a few weights and it's a bit heavier than the lightweight rope).
Since I wanted my rope strictly for cardio training, I went with the lightweight one, but it's interesting to know that Nike manufactures both.
2) Nike walking shoes:
My new Nike 'Sisters Series' with Diamond Flex sole are soooooooo sweet. I love everything about these walking shoes and the design is killer (a white canvas-type material shoe with dark gold detailing). I've walked many kilometres in these shoes since the beginning of the summer and intend on walking many more.
3) Nike Fit-Dry Clothing:
If you've not tried the Nike Fit-Dry clothing line … you're missing out. This dry-technology stuff in incredible. I own three different tops and a few shorts. When you are working out at maximum capacity, you will automatically sweat a lot. Most other fitness clothing will soak up the sweat and will leave you feeling quite uncomfortable.
The Nike Fit-Dry clothing line is designed to hold the sweat so it doesn't stick against your body.
Also, since we are talking about Nike … then you know that Nike fashion comes to play. All the Nike Fit-Dry clothing I have come in great colours (I have a golden yellow short top that is ideal for yoga and running, a red top and a beautiful blue/line green top). One thing I should mention about the Nike Fit-Dry shorts is that they are so well designed, they won't creep up and get bunched up while you are running or workout. They are extremely comfortable.
The great thing about Nike is that all my readers regardless of where they live can find Nike clothing and shoes in their city!

Hi Karen,
Have you every run across Forrest Roseboom's death? I spoke with one of his grandson's on the phone last night, and he is trying to track his grandfather down. The last record anyone seems to have of him was when his mother died in 1957--at that time he was living in Dayton, Ohio according to her obituary. In 1952, when his father died, he was living in West Carlton according to his dad's obituary. His daughter, Blanche, had a son out-of-wedlock named Vernon Dana Roseboom. She had the very painful experience of giving him up for adoption when she was only a teenager. He was adopted by the Kyvig family, and his name was changed to James B. Kyvig. His natural father MAY have been Vernon L. Compher, but that is NOT a given and the family isn't sure if Vernon ever knew he might have had a son by Blanche. Later, Blanche married Charles Edward Vetter, Jr. and they had three sons--Dana, Steve, and Gary. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've tried to contact Sandy Hollaway, but haven't gotten a reply. Perhaps she's changed email addresses or is just very busy so any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Government Statistics:
Proposal to Form a Federal Statistical Service
T-GGD-96-93: Published: Mar 22, 1996. Publicly Released: Mar 22, 1996.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed proposed legislation that would create a Federal Statistical Service by consolidating the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). GAO noted that: (1) any reorganization of these agencies should consider the principles of coordination, goal orientation, organization, implementation, and oversight; (2) coordination among statistical agencies is limited by statues that restrict data sharing, and the proposed legislation would not specifically remove those restrictions or restrictions affecting other statistical agencies; (3) goals to consider in establishing the new agency could include enhanced operational efficiency, adherence to professional standards, national priorities for statistical programs, and enhanced data quality; (4) alternatives for addressing problems in the federal statistical system include privatization, improving the current decentralized system by increasing data sharing, consolidating Census, BEA, and BLS, or consolidating additional federal statistical agencies; (5) while Canada's centralized statistics agency appears to offer advantages over the U.S. system, the United States is a much larger and more complex nation than Canada, the Canadian statistical system is much smaller, and the Canadian public has accepted that a government agency will have broad access to statistical information; (6) adequate planning will be necessary for successful implementation of a consolidated statistical agency; and (7) sustained congressional oversight will be required to ensure successful implementation of a consolidated agency.

It was a dramatic scene in the Senate this week. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren, presiding, announced the defeat of the Keystone XL pipeline, a Crow Creek Sioux man from South Dakota sang out in the Senate gallery. A massive people's climate movement against extracting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet had prevailed ... at least for now.

location, about a 5 minute walk from to the city center, 10-15 minute tram ride from train station. i would definitely stay at this hotel again. breakfast spread available was good. right next to paul doumer shopping center.
free wifi was slow, almost impossible to watch videos. expensive breakfast.

no tea/coffee. had to ask for hair drier. could do with refurbishment.
The location The Staff
The whole hotel! The Bedroom (tiny) No hairdryer Expensive and poor breakfast Grossly overpriced The wi-fi was laborious (you have to log in over and over) No discount on parking The backache inducing bed No air conditioning despite 28 degrees of heat
Typical welcome of the Accor Group. Hotel in the centre, near to everything. Easy to reach. Staff was gentle and very very very helpful. Room little, but like the description in the ad. Breakfast good, complete and fresh, with everything.
Cleanliness good but not perfect. Lobby very little with a multiporpuse desk. No vending machines available. 4,5 euros for a 1litre plane water bottle I think is very expansive.
No facilities neither a bar nor restaurant. Beds were incredibly uncomfortable room tiny and noisy overnight.

Not easy getting luggage from public underground car park. Rooms are a bit shabby. A lot of street noise.

Room was rather small. Not much floor space.
Don't except more than the minimum, and the room is really small as well. The internet was good though.
The bath curtains were super dirty and there was not enough space even to open your bag, which we need to use the table for that. There is no energy plug at all in the room. There is only the one used for the Tv, and the other in the bathroom which you won't like to used it during shower with the whole humidity.

John Fogerty brings some of his CCR classics to town this week in a concert Sunday, while classical organ and choral music take over other venues around the city. For other musical tastes, there's a show with Shannon and the Clams at Wunderbar on Whyte Avenue and Flashdance returns as a musical on the Jubilee Auditorium stage.
The University of Alberta Students' Union is calling for new regulations to protect students living on campus, after an international student had thousands of dollars worth of her belongings thrown out. Fourth-year design student Siying Chen, 22, arrived back from her annual summer visit with family in China to find most of her possessions gone from the HUB Mall apartment she has rented for the past three years.
Edmonton's aging Misericordia Hospital has been plagued by flooding again — this time in an area where repairs were being made to damage caused during a previous deluge.

Curvilinear forms and a luminous ceiling plane define this loft that is home to an art collector and his extensive collection of art and rare books. The client's request to conceal the light fixtures, coupled with a ceiling height of just under 9 feet, created a distinct challenge for the design team. The team's solution creates a vocabulary of design elements in which the line between residence, gallery, and library is artfully blended into a unified whole.
A sense of height is created by combining layers of warm and cool light. In the main gallery space, dimmable LEDs are located above the translucent portion of the ceiling, a membrane that runs the length of the space. As day turns to night, the light varies in intensity and color. Curving metal lines of track cross the ceiling and are outfitted with jack connectors every 30 inches, positioned for low-voltage halogen accent lights to delicately illuminate sculptures. Low-voltage halogen wallwashers are concealed in the reveal at the ceiling curve, providing soft, even light for large artworks.
A curvilinear wall separates the gallery from the private living areas. Hanging from the ceiling, the wall gradually lifts off the floor at one end, and fluorescent strips on the underside aid in its "floating" appearance. The back side of the wall is a series of shelves, edge-lit on the front with warm-white LEDs. A lensed LED pocket rakes light on the back edge of each shelf for added depth.
Jury Comments: Elegant. • Successfully details all the elements. • A perfectly executed composition. • It's more impressive each time you look at it.
