Outside-the-box thinkerNovember 3, 2014 7:42 am | by Julia, Sklar, MIT News Correspondent | News | Comments
When an aspiring mechanical engineer on a budget wants a top-of-the-line guitar, what does he do? He makes it himself, of course. At age 13, Nathan Spielberg—now a Massachusetts Institute of Technology senior—began building his first guitar, a process that consumed his attention for eight hours a day, every weekend, for 3 1/2 years.
NIST offers electronics industry two ways to snoop on self-organizing moleculesOctober 23, 2014 12:33 pm | News | Comments
A few short years ago, the idea of a practical manufacturing process based on getting molecules to organize themselves in useful nanoscale shapes seemed far-fetched. Recent work at NIST, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and IBM Almaden Research Center suggest this capability isn't far off, however, by demonstrating self-assembly of thin films on a polymer template that creates precise rows just 10 nm wide.
New 3-D printing algorithms speed production, reduce wasteOctober 22, 2014 7:51 am | by Emil Venere, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
New software algorithms have been shown to significantly reduce the time and material needed to produce objects with 3-D printers. Because the printers create objects layer-by-layer from the bottom up, this poses a challenge when printing overhanging or protruding features like a figure's outstretched arms. They must be formed using supporting structures—which are later removed—adding time and material to the process.

Adobe demos Photoshop CS4's content-aware scaling
In a QuickTime screencast, Adobe's Russell Brown demonstrates content-aware scaling, a feature of Photoshop CS4, due to be released this month.
A lower-resolution YouTube demo from Lynda.com is available here, if you don't want to download a huge QuickTime movie. The content is different, but you'll get the idea.
Adobe licensed an algorithm that senses "dead" areas in photos, and resizes the image to avoid squashing or stretching every object.
In the video, Brown demonstrates resizing an image of four golfers, interactively removing space between and around the golfers, but leaving the golfers' proportions correct. He also demonstrates resizing a Volkswagen bus, making it a more "economical" size, but automatically keeping the wheels round.
For those looking for a compelling reason to upgrade to Photoshop CS4, this might be it. If not, what is? Let us know by leaving a comment.

Sybase announced that by the end of June its mobile device management suite will be enhanced with antivirus and firewall technology. These new security components will appear in the company's iAnywhere Afaria management and security software. Combined with Afaria's mobile device authentication and encryption technology, the enhanced software is intended to provide protection for Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Blackberry mobile devices from viruses, data compromise, hackers and the effects of mobile device loss or theft.
"The tremendous growth in adoption of converged mobile devices (a.k.a. smart phones) occurring among business professionals will inevitably bring with it a rise in the number of attacks and in the sophistication of viruses and other malware specifically targeting these devices. IT organizations need to be proactive in protecting their information and systems from attack," said Sean Ryan, research analyst, Mobile Enterprise, IDC. "Enterprises should consider mobile antivirus and firewall protection, for all enterprise supported mobile operating systems, as part of a holistic mobility security offering that puts IT in central control of all mobile devices and information."
Key features of the Afaria Antivirus Manager include antivirus protection with automatic signature file updates and real-time virus detection on any file received.
The Afaria Firewall Manager provides IT administrators with black list and white list filtering of inbound and outbound communications, which enables an organization to "lock down" use of the device for authorized communications only. An SMS and call filtering function lets administrators minimize mobile spam by establishing a customized blacklist to block incoming SMS, MMS or calls from selected contacts and unknown users. A user can also manage unwanted spam or phone calls.

Hi there, hoping for a quick answer so I can go riding before dark, so I'll keep this short.
Got a new entry level road bike at a great deal, but I'm on my own mechanically for it. When in the smallest chain ring, the chain rubbed on the large ring when using the three smallest cogs in the rear. So I got a spacer. I take it apart only to discover there's already a spacer. Can I safely use a second spacer? Shell width is 68mm. Spindle length is 108 mm. Both pre-existing and new spacers are 2.5 mm thick.
The bottom bracket is a Chin Haur (?) Isis Drive. If its of any importance, I'm 225 lbs and pack lots of leg power.
Thanks in advance!

SRX Starting problems
Just purchased a 06 srx v6 last week since then it has not started on 2 occasions. Both times luckily I was at home. I needed to have the car jumped. On Sat. the owner of the dealership himself came to my home to see what was wrong. He found nothing wrong he jumped it and said to come in Monday AM and they will put the battery on the comp. I will be going there ASAP. Has anyone ever had this problem or any thoughts what may be causing this?
sls002 Posts: 2,788I ran my battery down playing with the 3rd seat. I wanted to figure out how to stow it, so I did that with the engine shut off. Then I returned it to the original postion. The next day the battery was dead. Since then I have the engine running to change the 3rd seat and plan on going somewhere immeadiately so the battery can recharge.

With its first annual profit since 2008 in the bank, FedEx Freight is moving to tighten its less-than-truckload network. The nation's largest standalone LTL carrier will speed transit times on 6,000 lanes starting on July 9, company officials said.
FedEx Freight launched a redesigned LTL network in February 2011, shifting its focus from regional and national distribution to priority and economy service, regardless of length of haul. As volumes climb, the redesign needs tweaking.
The trucking company gained volume in its fiscal fourth quarter ending May 31 despite a slowing economy. Average daily LTL shipments and LTL yield increased 4 percent.
"The network design is really important to really move this volume efficiently through our network to put it to the bottom line," William J. Logue, FedEx Freight president and CEO, told investment analysts in a June 19 conference call.
That 4 percent year-over-year yield increase, which reflects higher pricing and fuel surcharges, compares with a 6 percent increase in the previous quarter. FedEx Freight hopes to boost yield this summer with a 6.9 percent general rate increase.
FedEx Freight has been working to balance volume and yield since deep discounting during the recession contributed to losses totaling $372 million over three years.
The industrial freight arm of express giant FedEx rolled back into the black in fiscal 2012, posting a $162 million operating profit on a 7.1 percent increase in revenue to $5.3 billion.
In the quarter ending May 31, FedEx Freight reported an $81 million operating profit, a 93 percent increase from the year-earlier quarter. The carrier more than recovered from a $1 million loss in its fiscal third quarter, which ended Feb. 29.
Stronger pricing and higher volume pushed revenue for the quarter up 7 percent from a year earlier to $1.4 billion, with an operating ratio of 94.2 percent.

Thinking about Juddd
Hi my name is Karen but I go by KJ and I am 48years old with the height of 5'10 I have done lc since 06 and have done quite well with it and I dont really know if I can do any other woe. With that being said I had some medical problems and gained some of my weight back and really been struggling to take it off again with lc. I have ate clean,lower my carbs,meat&eggs, and I workout 4-5 days a week but the weight loss is really slow. I have looked at Juddd off and on but just don't know about counting calories or the dd. I looked at my calculations and it is 2400 and 600 but even the 2400 would be strange since I don't count calories. I really want this weight off b/c I have clothes in my closet I would like to get into so i was aiming at next week but the middle of this week I may start. It seems the weight loss is about the same after the first 2 weeks then maybe average of 2 pounds a week and even though people eat pretty much what they want they still fall off. I guess I just don't want to bounce around I want something I can stick to and live with. I would appreciate any information from currant Juddd'ers that would help me out.
Welcome Karen! I start my first official DD tomorrow.. after LCing for almost 2 years.. I need a change! The people here are amazing and so helpful..
Welcome KJ! I've only just completed my first week, and what a change from
lowcarbing! I first started LC 11 years ago, and haven't done much else in that
time. If you can use ****** or another food tracker, you won't see much difference
between starting JUDDD and starting LC. And of course, once you get the hang
of it, you'll have some of your calories memorized and won't have to look up every
single thing. I'm staying relatively lowcarb as I do the JUDDD method, and it works
for me (I'm only one week in, but I'm down 8 lbs already!). Others eat all types of
foods and do well. I only choose LC because my blood sugar does well on LC. My
advice would be to give it a shot, let these ladies help, and just see where you end
up at the end of the month. Best of luck to you!!
Welcome KJ!
I suggest going through the DD recipes and making a shopping trip before you get started. This is a LOT easier once you're armed with a bunch of VLC recipes and have a stock of things like laughing cow cheese, cabbage, shrimp, broth, etc.
I was also uncertain about counting calories again (*sigh*) but I'm doing so well on this diet that I don't really mind. It's so great to be able to eat some of my favorite foods again and STILL lose weight! I was at 183 when I started after Thanksgiving and now I'm down to 170, which makes me very happy -- and that loss with the holidays and all the eating the accompanied them.
The down days sounds like they'll be awful but honestly, after the first few, they're actually very simple and easy. I'm finding up days to be a bigger stressor -- so many choices! So many good things to eat!
Anyhow, I do hope you'll give it a shot. :)
Read the stickys at the top of the forum page, they are the most helpful thing going!! everyone here is incredible...i lc and vlc for 2.5 years and just couldn't be that girl anymore....so unhappy, moody, and just plain foggy.....i may not be losing as well as some but i tell ya what, i'm SO happy to be not gaining at least and eating my food again!!! do not let DD's scare you, i welcome them!! no stress AT ALL...come on in the water's fine :up:
Thanks for the Welcome!
I thinking about Wednesday and I had read some of the recipes already as i have been lurking all over the thread today. I have used ****** before so I am going to take these few days to prepare myself and see what happens.
KJ, it's wonderful to have you join us! I think you're going to LOVE it. Welcome for sure!
Everyone is wonderful and so supportive and encouraging, so you'll have all the help you need to be very successful at weight loss with this method, and here's a really fun thing about it: Your weight loss will come from being on the *diet* part of it only half of the time, and then the rest of the days you will get to eat any foods you decide to include in your food plan! It's so much fun.
Welcome kj! This is an awesome group of wonderful women. I just can't say enough about how supportive everyone is. I haven't lost anything yet. My own fault but im getting there. I am loving this woe though. I have lost a lot of weight on lc and have been eating lc for 7 years. I was ready for a change. My body must want happy anymore. I have been gaining weight slowly for a few months and it has been driving me crazy so im really hoping JUDDD is gonna help me and I know it will help you.
:welcome: KJ!! And all I can say is most who come over to the "dark side" don't ever leave!!
Hope you become "one of us" and stick around!! :high5::clap:
Good Morning,
I plan on visiting the dark side this week:lol: hopefully it will get me to the side of the scale I want to be on. I gonna give it 2 weeks and see what happens and I hope it is the best thing that has happen since lc. Thanks for all the well wishes and the support already and I have not even started yet.:) I will see you soon.
KJ, glad you're planning to join us. I don't think you will ever regret it. (It just takes some getting used to, since JUDDD is pretty different from most other ways of dieting.)
I did want to say that two weeks is really a very bare minimum to do JUDDD to determine how it will go for you - at least fairly often this is the case - and it's from the standpoint of whether you have been following a low carb eating plan prior to starting JUDDD or not.
If you are now eating low carb / depleted of stored carb fuel and water weight, AND THEN you start JUDDD and start eating more carbs.. guess what is going to happen? If you start to carb up, you are going to start regaining weight... just water weight, not body FAT, but it can really scare some folks into thinking that JUDDD isn't working for them! So just wanted to warn you that many of us gain weight (water weight) at the same time we're losing weight (body fat) but the two happenings are canceling each other out as far as the scale weight shows us. Interesting how our bodies work, but just wanted to warn you that sometimes it takes almost two weeks to really see the scale begin to make its move down. But in the meantime you can almost always find fat loss occurring just by taking your measurements and comparing from day one to the measurements of two weeks later.
In the meantime, if you have some possible free time each day, I hope you will spend some of it here, reading, reading, reading. You'll be an old pro at it practically right off the bat that way, and it will all feel more comfortable to you. Welcome!
Hi KJ! :welcome: I think you will :heart: the freedom of this woe. Counting calories will seem alien at first, but you will adjust faster than you think!
And you can look forward to some point in the future on maintenance when you may not have to count calories anymore! That is where I am at, and a few others, where we have FD (free days). After some time on JUDDD, it seems our metabolisms have healed and we are now able to eat higher calories without gaining.
Welcome again!
Thanks everyone for all the support and Sohappy I don't plan on eating way out there on carbs as I eat my share now but when the gain happens I will be encouraged to keep pressing on to see great results. I comute to work and I am on the road almost 3 hrs a day so I have to preplan any woe so I know I want to start on Wednesday but if not it will be Saturday when I go the the grocery store that way I will have everything I need.
Good Morning,
Yes SoHappy I believe I will also.

C91 Update (1a) Touch Screen Problems
Monday 06th of August 2012
Dear AllI'm afraid that my tablet has been inflicted with the infamous touchscreen problem. I have updated the firmware both with and without autoscrip, I have attempted this countless times. I have also taken my tablet apart and checked the ribbon cables, calibrated the touchscreen via the volume up key and the captouch function. I have tried various custom ROM's and earlier versions of the official Zenithink ROM and even tried flashing the touchscreen controller. Sadly, all to no avail. My problem in more detail: At first my touchscreen simply stopped responding across the entire display. However after playing around with the above procedures I managed to get over half the touchscreen working but alas not the other half. I have researched this problem in-depth and now tried just about everything. To make matters worse my supplier is giving me the run-around. Has anybody else experienced half the screen not responding to touches? If so, is there a fix? I now suspect that my touchscreen has died leaving me little option but to send the thing back to China. I appreciate any help off

Which tablet do I own?
Friday 14th of January 2011
Hello, I ordered a tablet from a supplier in China about a week ago. It arrived today in an orange/yellowish box that says ''MID'' on it in black text. It has a headphone jack, a built in camera at the top of the device, a charger port, a 30P USB port, and a slot for a MicroSD card. Along with the tablet came a D/C charger and a 30P USB cable. It is in all black and looks like an IPad and the menu button is in all black as well (with no white on it whatsoever). When I go into the ''About device'' section of the menu it brings up some specs which are:Memory size:128MBModel number:genericFirmware version:Android2.0Kernel version:2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirtyBuild number:WMT2.0If anybody would be kind enough to assist me with which tablet I own it would be greatly appreciated. The firmware as you can see is very outdated. I would like to update it (if possible) and install the Droid marketplace as well, but I cannot do so until I find out which device this is because I do not want to accidentally brick it by upgrading to an incompatible firmware. Thank you for your time and concern!

Looking for ROM update advice - aigoPad M801
Sunday 06th of November 2011
I have scoured the internet the last 3 days searching for a replacement stock ROM or any compatible custom ROM for my Aigo-Pad M801. I'm American but I'm living in China for the next year or so. I don't speak or read Chinese and I've tried going through the Chinese forums for the firmware but couldn't really decipher anything, even with Google translate. And especially not for my tablet.Specifications LinkI rooted with z4 root and it appeared to work. I installed gapps but couldnt get my market to work out by changing the fingerprint so i wiped cache and media partition to get a clean start again. I DO NOT have clockworkmod. I was not able to get the free version through the chinese market and the only versions i could find from download sites were the ripped off paid version, which i didnt think would work.Currently when i turn on the tablet it shows the initial bootscreen and never loads the boot animation or any kind of interface. I can access the android stock recovery interface (3e). I read the tablet was for the most part a rebranding of the Ainol Novo so I downloaded a ainol R

Flytouch 7 (BC1003) Issues
Tuesday 03rd of September 2013
Ok, I ordered a Flytouch 7 Superpad from a now nonexistant company in China.I charge the battery, then while off the charger for approx 10-20 minutes, it drops over 50%, then in approx 30 minutes, it says "connect charger" then shuts down, I know it can't use the battery that fast.For that matter the tablet is slow as crap! It takes it forever to do the most basic tasks!So, what I want to know is, is there something I can do to this tablet (Other than install a new ROM) that will speed it up and cut the battery problem, I heard rumors that there was a firmware update for these tablets.

Matana Roberts Weaves Stunning Avant-Jazz Tapestry on 'Coin Coin Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile'
To recap: In 2011, Constellation Records, an indie-leaning label best known for its association with Godspeed You! Black Emperor, released the first chapter of saxophonist-composer Matana Roberts' 12-volume avant-jazz Coin Coin project, in which her family's story will be recounted alongside an exploration of recent American history. The ensembles and instrumentation can change from chapter to chapter, though the weaving of history — Roberts uses the metaphor of "panoramic sound quilting" — is the through-line.But when it comes to Coin Coin Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile, don't let the obvious ambition (or the "Chapter Two") throw you.
Elvis Costello and the Roots Are Looser Than You Expected (and Not as Stuffy as You Feared) on 'Wise Up Ghost'
The way you react to news of this pairing says something about your appetite for pretension. Roots drummer/mastermind ?uestlove self-describes as "your favorite Twitterer's favorite music snob," and in recent years has built enough bridges to Indie Town that he now qualifies for government contracts. Meantime, Mr. Costello is the sort to send George Jones a demo tape, in order to demonstrate how the Possum might cover Springsteen. (That's on the deluxe version of Kojak Variety, if you care.) Put them together, and things could get a wee bit over-studied, right?Yet more than half of Wise Up Ghost is faultless: more exciting and hooky than much recent work from either camp. Opener "Walk Us Uptown" is where ?uestlove shows he can best the beats on Elvis' prior R&B testimonies.

Gilbert activists are planning another tax protest at Town Hall to mark Independence Day on Saturday. And while not expecting as large a turnout as a similar party April 15, organizers still hope to have a substantial impact on local affairs.
Saturday's TEA Party, which stands for Taxed Enough Already, is turning into a launching pad for three just-filed referendums against tax increases that were adopted by the Town Council in Gilbert this week. Those opposed to the hikes will be gathering voter signatures to place the increases on the ballot.
The party is part of a series of rallies nationwide, but it is the only one in the East Valley. The parties began as rallies coinciding with the federal income tax-filing deadline.
Denna Ray, one of the event's organizers, said the April event attended by roughly 2,000 galvanized "a big group of people who are taking action, where before they have been just sitting back and waiting for someone else to act."
Saturday's rally will build on that, she said.
Ray and others are expecting about 200 people to show up in April and were floored by the turnout.
This time, they figure the holiday and summer heat will cut back on participation. Ray is predicting around 500 people will show up - "or maybe 5,000."
The program begins at 8:30 a.m., and the first hour will feature patriotic music, a pledge to protect the Constitution led by members of the Arizona Rangers, and speeches from former councilman Dave Petersen, recent Town Council candidate Erin Scroggins, and others. The last half-hour will be an open-mike session for the audience.
Parking will be permitted in the lot next to the demonstration, at the public safety complex across Civic Center Drive or at the shopping center across Gilbert Road, but not on the vacant property surrounding the municipal buildings. People are advised to bring bottled water, along with any flags, signs or other displays. No restrooms will be available on site.
No security problems were reported at the last event, despite the unexpectedly large size of the crowd. Ray said what they have in common is they are "individuals united by our shared concern over excessive spending by an out-of-control federal, state and local government that has exceeded bounds set by the United States Constitution."
There are similar parties being planned in Kingman and other Arizona cities, including Phoenix.
Even in politically conservative Gilbert, not everyone agrees with the low-tax, limited-government sentiments of the TEA Party organizers. Former Town Councilman Mike Evans thinks there's a disconnect between their philosophy and that of the majority of Americans.
"They want to take the government back to something that it was in the 1800s or early 1900s. They don't realize that we're living in the 21st century, and they don't realize that they've lost the elections," Evans said. "They lost the governor's race, and they lost the presidential race."

In truth, this central romance is problematic. Why does Juan Julian glom onto Conchita, the married woman, when her sister is ready and available? Is it instant attraction, and if so, why? And why does Conchita step out with Juan Julian immediately after quarreling with her husband? The coincidence suggests that she is using adultery as a deliberate weapon in a marital war, not as an unexpected avenue for self-discovery. Whatever her motive, Conchita is unleashed by her affair, and when she faces down Palomo at the end of the first act, they are at a strange emotional crossroads. Each now knows of the other's affair, and each wants to hurt the other while still desiring the other. But the second act centers more on crimes of a different character. Why does Cruz opt to pull away from his steamy sex triangle just when it is about to venture into uncharted erotic waters? Such speculations could go on and on, not because Cruz's new play is so flawed but because it is so rich.
Like wine and cigars, good theater takes time to develop. Well into its 17th season, the New Theatre has patiently followed traditions that nowadays have fallen out of favor: loyalty to a core acting ensemble and devotion to classical texts combined with a commitment to developing relationships with playwrights. The company has recently been acknowledged by the venerable Drama League as one of the 50 best theaters in the nation. If you're wondering why, Anna in the Tropics will tell you all you need to know.

Gossip Girl Fashion Breakdown: Season 1 Finaleby Steve Marsi at . Comments
The Gossip Girl season finale, "Much I Do About Nothing," was not only filled with breath-taking twists and turns, but it was also a feast for fashion fans.
Below, our Gossip Girl fashion contributor, the fabulous Liza L., breaks down the episode, telling you where you can get its amazing looks ...
If you like this feature, please leave a comment and post your feedback - we may even be able to convince her to write this for every episode.
The Wedding Day
Even sad and heartbroken, Serena van der Woodsen, the main of honor, managed to outshine the bride by wearing an amazing frock of most fashionable yellow color, with a modern-daring touch of black accessories.
Meanwhile, what should one wear to stand out at a wedding, but in such a way that no one will mix you up with the bride? Pink. This definitely worked for Blair Waldorf – Chuck could not take his eyes off her!
Serena van der Woodsen in a Ralph Lauren Ruffled Fillipa Dress ($2,999, on sale here). Blair in Australian designer Colette Dinnigan's Dress from Resort 2008 collection and matching Jennifer Behr Flower Headband, $198 (on sale here). Similar dress from Bluefly, $178 (on sale here).Morning in NYC
What does a bad girl like Georgina Sparks, who parties 24/7, wear at noon in NYC? Something old, which they wore on yesterday night, and something new, which they can rock in this night (Unless you come across Blair Waldorf, of course).
Speaking once again of Blair Waldorf, fighting a war has to be glamorous, but winning it has to be fashion-forward and stunning.
Georgina (left): Jacket, Yaya Aflalo, $508 (on sale here); Skirt, Urban Outfitters, Lux Pleated Bustle Back Skirt, $39 (on sale here). Blair Waldorf (with Dan): Diane von Furstenberg, Bitiri Jacket Island Clover Bud Green, $219 (on sale here); Top, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Flock of Hearts Print, $188 (on sale here).

I am trying to start doing more prep work in the beginning of the week due to a busy work schedule. We love eating pico de gallo on omelets. Was just curious how long homemade pico would last in the refrigerator. Haven't made it homemade yet, but will be doing it shortly. :)
I have been making pico de gallo for about a year now and when I make a batch I use 12 Roma's and 1 huge red onion, and about a 1/3 cup of lime juice, one large bunch of cilantro, jalepinos(about 1/3 cup), 1/3 cup of pepperinchini, also use some juices from each. (Enough to suit your taste). Salt and pepper to taste. When I have mixed thoroughly I then put it in mason jars with lids and keep it in fridge for about 1 and 1/2 weeks. I have not found the tomatoes to get mushy at all. When I take a jar from fridge, I have to break seal as it does tend to seal when we put cap and seal back on. I hope this helps! Make sure all tomatoes and onions are chopped fine and we use processes for cilantro.
The Pico de Gallo I make (plum tomatoes, white onion, fresh jalapeno peppers, lime juice, a tiny bit of olive oil and chopped fresh cilantro, salt and pepper) will last approximately 1 week if kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Over that time the tomatoes will get a little mushy and the cilantro will wilt.
Perhaps you can have everything else mixed and just add the chopped tomatos and freshly chopped cilantro when you are ready to serve?
Always try to store your pico de gallo in a container that will allow the juice to run off and seperate from the relish. The juice is what makes it get mushy quick. If you do not have a container that will do this than pour off the juice daily. I drink it or freeze it for future recipes like beans. It is very good for you when it is raw.

Do you think this is tacky?
Find a Conversation

My son was invited to his friend's 16th birthday party -- at HOOTERS. I think this is a tacky location. What do you think? Also, the friend's parents are Christians. What are they thinking? Or, am I being too square?
|Sun, 02-06-2011 - 3:33pm
I don't like Hooters or any such restaurant because they are re-enforcing that woman are only to be viewed as sexual objects! But sex sells better than anything & these places are going to exist.

Canada has been known for its full nude(bottomless strip clubs)for years.

Hi there, I'm back. Just re-read through all of these posts and I think a couple of posters misunderstood this comment of mine,
"Personally I see girls dressed far more provocatively in DD's high school every day."
Yes it's a public high school with a private Catholic high school right across the street. Even our high school has a dress code, no way are tank tops and booty shorts allowed- BUT there are ALOT of girls that get quite a thrill from pushing the rules- then claiming the teachers must be sick or something if they are pulled aside and told their attire is unsuitable. I say "provocative" meaning the way some deliberately wear their clothes so tight their "girl parts" are framed (cameltoe anyone), or wear the required undergarment so sheer that her nipples are plainly visable through a light colored tshirt ("But I'm wearing a bra!" giggle), or those cute 3 pc skirt/vest/ blouse outfits- with the vest so tight it fits like a push up corset.
I remember Catholic school- 5 years for me ;) - through 6th grade (I only went through 5th) we had one piece jumpers but the 7th and 8th grade girls got to wear blouse and skirt. I see the girls today doing the very same thing they did then, as soon as they come out of the building they roll up their waistband and tie up the blouse to show belly. Alot of them even switch to heels from their backpacks to walk home in.
Thats what I was meaning. I find those behaviors far more provocative than what the Hooters girls wear. As for the Tilted Kilt girls- I don't think I could keep a straight face long enough to order if I turned my head and saw nothing but belly button! I also wouldn't personally choose either of those places as a planned thing.
SO when is this party? Have you decided what you're going to do?
|Thu, 02-03-2011 - 11:22pm
I'm sure my 15 yr old son would love to go to a place like the Tilted Kilt--his eyes would be popping out of his head, but I would just be terribly uncomfortable being there w/ him.
|Thu, 02-03-2011 - 10:09pm
A wedding is a different story. You are going to an event, where young women get dressed up.
|Thu, 02-03-2011 - 8:42pm

Do I think it's tacky? Yes. Would I have my son's day party there? No. Would I prevent him from going? No, it is a restaurant, not a strip bar.
And I agree with the assertion that the name is part of the problem, but they really do promote women as sex objects, imho. The whole "Hooters Girls" thing just grates on me.
Anyway, I've chosen not to patronize them, but if others want to, I do think it's their choice.

Delphi Reports Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Interest expense for the third quarter totaled $32 million, compared to $37 million in the prior year period, reflecting lower debt levels.
Tax expense for the third quarter was $52 million, representing an effective tax rate of approximately 15%, compared to $87 million, or an effective tax rate of 24%, in the prior year period, reflecting the impacts of the geographic mix of pretax earnings and tax planning initiatives.
The Company generated net cash flow from operating activities of $414 million in the third quarter, compared to $410 million in the prior year period. Cash flow before financing totaled $254 million compared to $274 million in the prior year period.
Year-to-Date 2012 ResultsFor the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported revenue of $11.8 billion, an increase of 1.9% over the first nine months of 2011, adjusting for currency exchange, commodity movements and divestitures. The increase in adjusted revenue reflects growth of 11% in Asia and 6% in North America, partially offset by a 2% decline in Europe and a 10% decline in South America. For the 2012 year-to-date period, net income totaled $941 million, or $2.89 per diluted share, which includes a $0.13 impact from the increased expense of the variable 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, compared to net income of $855 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, in the prior year period (refer to footnote 2 for determination of weighted average shares outstanding and earnings per share calculations). EBITDA for the first nine months of 2012 totaled $1,639 million, compared to $1,589 million in the prior year period, an increase of 3.1%. EBITDA margin was 13.9% for year-to-date 2012, compared to 13.1% in the prior year period. The improvement in EBITDA reflects strong performance in the Electrical/Electronic Architecture and Powertrain segments. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower earnings in our Thermal business segment, the unfavorable impacts of currency exchange, and $53 million of increased expense resulting from the variable accounting impacts related to the Company's 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Excluding the variable impacts of the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, EBITDA margin for the first nine months of 2012 was 14.4%.

Piro Pueblo Indians
Posted By Dennis On In Native American | No Comments
Piro Pueblo Indians. Significance of Piro unknown. Also called:
Piro Pueblo Connections. They were a division of the Tanoan linguistic family, which in turn is a part of the Kiowa-Tanoan stock.
Piro Pueblo Location. In the early part of the seventeenth century the Piro comprised two divisions, one inhabiting the Rio Grande Valley from the present town of San Marcial, Socorro County, northward to within about 50 miles of Albuquerque, where the Tiwa settlements began; and the other, sometimes called Tompiros and Salineros, occupying an area east of the Rio Grande in the vicinity of the salt lagoons, or salinas, where they adjoined the eastern group of Tiwa settlements on the south.
Following are names of deserted pueblos near the lower Rio Grande which were also in all probability occupied by the Piro:
The following deserted pueblos were inhabited either by the Piro or the Tiwa:
All the above pueblos not definitely located were probably situated in the Salinas in the vicinity of Abe.
Piro Pueblo History. The western or Rio Grande branch of the Piro was visited by members of Coronado's Expedition in 1540, by Chamuscado in 1580, by Espejo in 1583, by Onate in 1598, and by Benavides in 1621-30. The establishment of missionaries among them began in 1626, and the efforts of the monks combined with the threats of Apache raids to induce the Indians to concentrate into a smaller number of towns. The first actual mission work among the Piros of the Salinas began in 1629 and was prosecuted rapidly, but before the Pueblo rebellion of 1680 Apache raids had become so numerous that all of the villages of the Salinas region and Senecu on the Rio Grande were abandoned. The Piro were not invited to take part in the great rebellion and when Governor Otermin retreated to El Paso nearly all of them joined him, while the few who remained subse quently scattered. Those who accompanied the governor were settled at Senecu del Sur and Socorro del Sur, where their descendants became largely Mexicanized.
Piro Pueblo Population. The Piro population was estimated at 9,000 early in the sixteenth century, but is now about 60. (See Tiwa Pueblo Indians)

Angie's List Jumps on Raymond James Upgrade
NEW YORK (The Street) -- Angie's List (ANGI) was surging Thursday, jumping more than 8% to $14.91 on above average volume as the Yelp (YELP) rival received an upgrade from Raymond James.
Analyst Aaron Kessler bumped up the online consumer review stock to "strong buy" from "outperform," anticipating a pick-up in sales productivity and net subscriber growth this year. Also factored into the decision was good merchant survey results and valuation levels. Kessler has a $23 price target for Angie's List.
Still, a broader look at the market action suggests that a wait and see mode for Angie's list prevails among long-term buyers.
The price action for Angie's List is currently caught between the long-term bears and more medium term bulls, trading below its 200-day moving average of $18.87 but above its 50-day moving average of $13.22.Optimism about the company is outweighed by deep concerns about its financial standing and business model. Angie's List has been challenged recently with a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company has been misrepresenting its financial statements and information, including sources of revenue generation, leading to an inflated stock price. -- Written by Andrea Tse in New York.

I don't have words to express the magic this movie has did on me. Just saw this movie and I'm speechless about it. Many Japanese movies are like this...they left you amazed,happy or heart full of tears. This movie is also of same category but somehow different cause it includes all of it. This movie have everything,every emotion to capture heart of the viewer. This is A really beautiful story with amazing kind and tender touch of love and innocence. The relation between a poor boy and a rich girl in mid 1930's, relation between a grandpa and his grand child, relation between a boy and a clown of the circus is just amazing. This movie is more centered upon the poor boy who is living with his grand father. The actors in this movie are just amazing. It felt so real to me when i saw this movie, especially the child actors were amazing. I recommend it to everybody.
10-year-old Sota lives with his grandfather and a dog named Chibi in a small snowy village. They live in such a poverty that Sota cannot even afford to go to school, but however hard the situation is, Sota never holds a bad feeling against anyone around and keeps his dream alive to become a painter. He has been friends with Sayo, a girl brought up in a wealthy family, ever since they were little despite the difference of their family position, which Sayo's father has uneasy feelings against. In spite of the difficulties he faces, Sota manages to complete a piece of painting which he wishes to give Sayo. He and Chibi goes down a snowy night path to Sayo's house to find that her father's storage is on fire... What waits for Sota and Chibi gently reminds that genuine happiness always exists in your heart.

I am afraid that I am one of those people who have no patience for people who refuse to pay their debts. People who can't pay their debts? All the sympathy in the world, even if they accumulated those debts through a series of stupid decisions. Easy bankruptcy is a good thing precisely because it helps us sort out those sorts of situations quickly, allowing the unhappy bankruptee to get a fresh start. Yes, some of them go on to make even more stupid decisions. But most people who declare bankruptcy do so only once, which means they don't make that sort of mistake--or at least, that magnitude of mistake--again.
On the other hand, while I was mostly against the 2005 bankruptcy reform, I was happy to see that it tightened up the rules on the small minority of people who were unequivocally using bankruptcy to game the system--filing and then vacating serial Chapter 13 petitions in order to keep from being evicted or foreclosed out of houses where they'd never intended making the monthly payments. Those people were few in number, but they were really morally appalling (and before you get your progressive outrage on, they tended to be affluent and well educated, which is why they were able to game the system. They really had no redeeming excuses).
I am very sure that most people getting their houses foreclosed upon are simply folks who made a stupid decision and took on more house than they could really afford--or who got hit with a crippling job loss and didn't have quite enough of a cushion to see them through. Which is maybe why when I read about people like this, my outrage rises so hot:
Ms. Richey, the teacher, arrived in Palmdale in 1999. In 2004, she and her husband, Timothy, bought a two-story home on Caspian Drive, near Avenue O-8, with a no-down-payment loan. They took pride in the amenities they installed: a powder room with granite countertops, a backyard pool and play area, and the purple-and-turquoise fantasy playroom upstairs for their three daughters.
But the value of the house plunged to less than $200,000 in 2009. Their $430,000 mortgage, with its $3,700 monthly payment, began to look more like an unwanted burden. By May, amid troubles getting tenants for two rental properties she also owned, Ms. Richey decided the time had come to cut a deal with America's Servicing Co., a unit of Wells Fargo & Co. servicing the mortgage on the house.
After three months of wrangling, she says she finally received a modification approval. The new monthly payment: about $3,300, far more than she had hoped. A Wells Fargo spokesman confirmed the bank offered Ms. Richey a modification under the Obama administration's Making Home Affordable program, and said, "The Richeys turned down the lowest payment we could offer."
Ms. Richey and her husband had already been working on Plan B -- exploring the neighborhood's "For Rent" signs.
On one trip, they drove by the house at 3152 Club Rancho Drive. It was bigger than their house on Caspian, had a pool with three waterfalls, and boasted a cascading staircase that Ms. Richey says she could picture her daughters descending on prom night. The rent was $2,195 a month.
. . .
Ms. Richey and her family made the move to Club Rancho Drive in August, when she was already several months behind on the mortgage. With Mr. Robbins's help, she recently sold the house on Caspian Drive for $195,000, money that the bank will accept to settle the $430,000 mortgage debt. She's also considering walking away from the mortgages on her two rental properties.
Showing a visitor the personal touches in her new home, including a $1,800 dining set she bought with some of her newly available income, she notes the advantages of being a renter rather than an owner.
"You take a risk for the American dream," she says. "I don't have to worry about paying property tax, homeowners' insurance, the landscaping, cleaning the pool or any repairs."
Maybe the reporter made them sound worse than they are . . . but it sure sounds like they just decided that once the price of their property fell, they shouldn't have to pay back the money they'd borrowed.

Clearfield Announces FieldSmart Fiber Distribution Point - KIS
First FieldShield Optimized Enclosure for Universal Fiber Delivery Keeping it Simple, New Wall-Mount Panel Streamlines Broadband Deployment
MINNEAPOLIS, May 16, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearfield, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLFD), the specialist in fiber management and connectivity platforms for communications providers, today announced the FieldSmart Fiber Delivery Point (FDP) KIS Outdoor Enclosure . Continuing the building block approach of Clearfield's fiber management principles, FDP-KIS is the first enclosure to be optimized for pushable fiber deployment. Unique to FDP-KIS, the enclosure is a simple to use architecture from 1 to 48 ports of fiber, housing single as well as multi-count fiber strands. It is an excellent fiber delivery solution for everything from the MDU to the antenna.
" Pushable fiber is revolutionizing fiber delivery and this is the first enclosure designed specifically for this system," said Johnny Hill, chief operating officer at Clearfield, Inc. "It is effective across the board in numerous applications and serves both as a universal demarc unit as well as the industry's simplest fiber distribution hub."FieldSmart FDP-KIS keeps fiber delivery and management simple. Large enough to house the fiber distribution ports required but small enough to easily mount in the most space-constrained environments, KIS enables ubiquitous access with an exit/entry point on every side of the unit, providing entry and exit access from any direction. Due to the Clearview Cassette's self-contained fiber management, and Clearview Blue's integrated slack storage, this simple enclosure design delivers the highest standards of fiber access and bend-radius protection. Used in conjunction with either standard OSP cable or optimized with FieldShield pushable fiber, FDP-KIS speeds deployment with a consistent fiber management design in the most demanding of fiber application environments. The FieldSmart FDP-KIS is compliant to: NEMA 4, GR-20, GR-409, GR-487, GR-1221 and GR-1209. All Clearfield fiber terminations have been tested to GR-326 compliance with every pigtail, patch cord and 12-fiber assembly guaranteed to Clearfield's Fiber Deep performance threshold of .2dB insertion loss.

In a season filled with roster moves, Cougars manager Mark Johnson realizes how important a guy like first baseman Jacob Rogers is, both on and off the field.
Eleven players have been promoted to high-Class A Daytona from the Cougars' roster this season, and there are some others who are no longer around for various reasons. One of the few constants has been the 6-foot-5 lefty from St. Petersburg.
Rogers leads the Cougars with 13 home runs, 49 RBI and an .822 OPS, also flashing a slick glove at first. But he's also a leader in other ways.
"He handles the clubhouse extremely well, and he doesn't need to be loud or anything like that," Johnson said. "It's just the way the guys look at the way he goes about his business and how he prepares. He brings it all to the field every day. It's extremely important that these guys see that. I'm just grateful to have guys like him and Ben (Carhart) here to help those guys out and show them how to do their jobs."
Rogers said that he has always been that kind of player, from high school all the way through his time at Division II Mt. Olive College to the Cubs organization.
"It's nice that MJ considers me one of the leaders," said Rogers, who was drafted by the Cubs in the 40th, and final, round of the 2012 draft. "I strive to be one of those guys. I pride myself on knowing the game of baseball really well. I like being one of the guys that guys know they can always come up to."
With Yasiel Balaguert's long disabled list stint and 2014 first-round pick Kyle Schwarber's brief 23-game stay with the Cougars, Rogers has had to anchor the middle of the lineup, as well.
Rogers has responded after a slow start. Since the Midwest League All-Star break in mid-June, he is hitting .318 in 38 games with seven home runs. Prior to that, he hit only six bombs in 65 games.
Rogers, along with most of the rest of the Cougars' roster, figure that adjusting to a new climate had something to do with the sluggish start offensively.
"It was a big grind when we first got here weather-wise," Rogers said. "Not many of us played in cold weather, but we grinded through it. Not everybody was hitting well. We got some timely hitting and the pitching staff was great. That gave us time to come back and work through it, so that was big in the first half."
The mix was good enough to be the runaway winner for the MWL Western Division first-half title. Now, despite welcoming new players to the team seemingly every day, Rogers has a big goal in mind.
"We always have the same team goals," Rogers said. "We want to win that ring. We already have a place in the playoffs. We just want to build on that. We want to go into the playoffs on a good note."
