The following is a list of some grub4dos internal variables and functions from a 2013 or later version of a chenall build of grub4dos (as used in RMPrepUSB).
Memory areas used by grub4dosThe physical memory address range from 1M to 32M is reserved for grub4dos internal code and data. Grub4dos may fail to run on systems with less than 32MB of RAM. Ideally users should not use this range (32MB = 0x200,0000 = below (md)0x10000).
Some use of (md)0x300 is relatively safe if low memory is required.
Some areas below 1MB are also used by grub4dos.
Grub4dos executes grub4dos executables and kernel payloads at 32MB in memory, therefore it is best to use memory areas well above 32MB for any memory workspace if you intend to call grub4dos executables after loading kernel files, etc.
Note: In grub4dos, batch files and programs run in the same piece of memory as the 'kernel' command. Therefore you cannot use the kernel command directly from a batch file or grub4dos program.
To workaround this, either allocate memory to move the buffer by using call Fn.50 0x200000 as the very first line in menu.lst OR use configfile, e.g.
echo kernel /xxx/vmlinuz aaa bbb ccc > (md)0x220+1
echo initrd initrd.gz >> (md)0x220+1 configfile (md)0x220+1
Grub4dos use of memory:
0x008200 @ 320K fixed variables + program = (md)0x41 to (md)0x300
0x030000 64k sector buffer for current device = (md)0x180 to (md)0x1FF
0x045000 environment variables = (md)0x228 to (md)0x288 approx.
0x060000 end of grub4dos variables + wkspace = (md)0x300
0x07C000 used to load boot code, etc. = (md)0x3E0... 0x090000 may be used by BIOS (avoid) = (md)0x480 to (md)0x4FF
0x0A0000 graphics memory (reserved) = (md)0x500 to (md)0x5FF
0x0C0000 BIOS area (reserved) = (md)0x600 to (md)0x7FF
0x100000 may be used by BIOS (avoid) = (md)0x800 best to avoid up to (md)0x880
0x800000 8M for mem array workspace = (md)0x4000 to (md)0x7FFF
0xA00000 10M-14M for page map = (md)0x5000-0x6FFF (end used by background bitmap buffers - may extend to 0xA000+ if large bitmap?)
Avoid below (md)0x300 and (md)0x4000 to (md)0x7FFF area. Preferably use (md)0x10000 and above (above 32MB).
Use of around (md)0x9000 can cause corruption of bitmap background when a menu is displayed.
However wenv/insmod seems to load files above 32MB - therefore use above 50MB = (md)0x19000 to be safe!
Many BIOSes use the last part of segment 9000:0 for a scratchpad. All IBM-compatible BIOSes use A000:0 - F000:FFFF.
Black areas are usable.
Using grub4dos variablesGrub4dos variables recognises a maximum name length 8 characters and each variable holds a maximum size of 511 characters or 512 bytes. The variable name is case sensitive, e.g.
set a=1
set A=2
e.g. do not exceed 8 characters for variable names or it could cause unexpected problems (FRED12345 in this example is shortened by grub4dos to FRED1234) ...
You can define leading spaces in a variable and have characters like && or ;; by enclosing the argument in double-quotes (must start as "<variable>= with no spaces Grub4dos has space for 60 variables, each one can have a value size of 512 bytes. In the latest versions of grub4dos (15 May 2013 and later) you can extend the variable space using an undocumented @extend command:
You can set up to max 65,536 variables using @extend. Syntax:
The BASE_ADDR is the memory start of extended variable.
SIZE is how many variables it will extended by (MAX is 0xFFFF)
e.g. add 10 variables (so we can have 70 variables in total) at 0x40000.
this needs memory (((10+63)/64) + 10)*512 = 5632.
You must confirm the BASE_ADDR has enough space.
setlocal/endlocal will not work correctly however as any variables over the 60 that are set inside a setlocal section will remain after an endlocal! So if you are using @extend and setlocal/endlocal, be sure to not use more than 60 variables inside the setlocal/endlocal segments!
>>> 10 variables will be listed!
The command:
will display:
BASE_ADDR:40000,40200,VARS:10 StringsYou can get a substring of any variable like this: %variablename:~startpos,endpos%
The endpos shows where it ends ( + position from the beginning, - position from the end) e.g
set a=0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
echo %a:~0,3% displays 012
echo %a:~2,3% displays 234
echo %a:~-3,3% displays xyz
echo %a:~3% displays 3456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
echo %a:~3,-2% displays 3456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx
echo %a:~,-2% displays 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx
A header file which may help if you understand C code can be found here.
Example - test string length of KEY is exactly 29 characters
Filename strings in batch filesIn a batch file, %0 is the full path of the batch file itself (if the batch file is in the root then no leading / is output), %~nx0 is the batch files filename + extension, %~n0 is just the filename and %~x0 is just the extension (e.g. .gb4).
n is filename, x is extension, p is the path and d is the drive name.
If you pass more than one filename to a batch file, %1 will be the second parameter, %2 the third, etc.
Batch file to get all parameters as arg1...argn and argc as number of parameters:
Note: BEWARE! in batch files beware of %0 %1 %2 accidents! e.g. set f=3 echo %f%2 will not display 32 (it displays %f) - instead use this...
set f=3
echo %f%%2 %% in a batch file is reduced to %
Accessing numbered variablesIf we have a number of variables FRED1, FRED2, FRED3, etc, and we want to print out the value of each, we can use a counter like this
Note that using ^ anywhere inside a variable prevents it from being translated into a value. So %^FRED%N%%% gets translated by 'call' to %FRED1% and then echo displays the FRED1's value.
If not using a batch file use call echo %^FRED%N%% instead (in a batch file, %%=%).
Internal named variablesgrub4dos has a few predefined variables - these can be used in a grub4dos command - e.g. echo %@date% or set d=%@date%
These are case sensitive:
@time - e.g. 15:29:11 @random - 0 to 32767 - e.g. set /a num1to10=%@random% / 3277 + 1 or set /a num1to10=%@random:~-1,1% + 1 @root - e.g. (hd0,0) @path - e.g. (bd)/BOOT/GRUB/ @retval - e.g. 1 - NOTE: This is a 32bit value ranging from -2GB to +2GB ?_BOOT - disk&partition that contained the file \grldr that was used to boot to grub4dos, e.g. (hd0,0) - note: this is NOT the same as (bd) which is set to whatever partition contained the menu.lst file. ?_WENV ?_UUID - set after uuid command - e.g. uuid (bd)
? - result of last command - e.g. cat --locate=string --number=1 /myfile ;& set offset=%?% ;& echo string found at %offset% prints 0x1de or 0x0 if not found, @retval is 0 if not found or <count> if found
You can set the default file extensions of grub4dos executables using command --set-ext= (this is similar to typing just fred in the Windows command shell and Windows would run fred.exe) - for example, we can set the default extensions like this:
command --set-ext=.g4b;.g4x If you then have a command like fred or /fred in a menu or batch file, grub4dos will try "fred" first and then fred.g4b and then fred.g4x. Fn callsYou can call an internal function like sprintf within a grub4dos menu or a grub4dos batch file. For example:
set a=aa
set b=bbb
call Fn.0 0 "stringa=%s stringb=%s" %a% %b%
this prints on the display
stringa=aa stringb=bbb
Here is a list of the Fn calls. I don't know all the details for all the parameters, but each parameter should be separated by a space.
Note that Fn. is case sensitive and must have a capital F and a lowercase n.
Some equivalent C library functions for these can be searched for here.
1 grub_putstr
2 putchar - e.g. call Fn.2 49 prints '1' (call Fn.2 7 will 'beep' the internal speaker if your BIOS and hardware supports it - i.e. if it is a PC and has a 'beeper-speaker' fitted!)3 get_cmdline_obsolete 4 getxy The return value is ((X << 8) | Y). 5 gotoxy - e.g. call Fn.5 0 2 set cursor pos to beginning of line 11 6 cls 7 wee_skip_to was obsolete setcursor 8 nul_terminate 9 safe_parse_maxint_with_suffix 10 substring 11 grub_strstr - see here - find string in string, returns @retval as position of string start, e.g. call Fn.11 0x6000 "$" || exit or call Fn.11 "%filefind%" "0" && echo found 0 in %filefind% 12 grub_strlen - e.g. call Fn.12 "freddy" ;; echo %@retval% - prints 6 13 grub_strtok - see here for definition e.g. echo 123,456,789 > (md)0x200+1 ;; call Fn.13 0x40000 "," ;; echo First string at %@retval% ;; call Fn.13 0 "," ;; echo Next string at %@retval% ;; cat --skip=262152 (md)0+0x201 (note: memory is changed by each call a 0 is inserted at the delimiting character position -> 123<0>456<0>789
14 grub_strncat - Appends the first num characters of source to destination, plus a terminating null-character
15 grub_strcmp compare two strings - e.g. call Fn.15 XXX XXX ;; echo %@retval% returns 0 (or -1 if no match) 16 grub_strcpy - copies string into destination 17 reserved 18 reserved 19 getkey - gets a kbdchar 20 checkkey Check if any input character is available. 21 22 grub_memcmp 23 grub_memmove 24 grub_memset call Fn.24 0x83562 0xaa 0x100 - fill address 0x83562 in memory with byte 0xaa for size of 256 bytes. 25 26 grub_open - e.g. directly call grub_open file function it will put filesize at memory 0x8320 - this works well for non-compressed files too. call Fn.26 /myfile.gz ;; set /a filesize=*0x8320 27 grub_read 28 grub_close 29 30 31 32 devread 33 devwrite 34 next_partition 35 open_device 36 real_open_partition 37 set_device 38 39 40 41 parse_string 42 hexdump - e.g. call Fn.42 0x8000 0 3 - list 3 hex bytes at 0x8000 43 skip_to 44 builtin_cmd 45 get_datetime 46 find_command 47 48 49 get_mmap_entry 50 grub_malloc 51 grub_free51 52 list_partitions 53 realmode_run - executes a BIOS interrupt in real mode - e.g. see date.g4b batch file for example. 54 reserved for wee 55 reserved for wee 56 reserved for wee 57 reserved for wee 58 reserved for wee 59 reserved for wee 60 reserved for wee 61 dir - e.g. Fn.61 /dir/ 62 print_a_completion 63 print_completions 64 lba_to_chs 65 probe_bpb 66 probe_mbr 67 unicode_to_utf8 e.g. call Fn.67 *0x82d0 0x60000 3 cat (md)0x300+1,1 | set nt_ver=NT 68 rawread 69 rawwrite 70 setcursor x (returns previous cursor state as %@retval%) e.g. call Fn.70 0 to disable cursor and splashimage, call Fn.70 3 && clear will keep the splashscreen visible in console mode (but scrolling doesn't work when the cursor gets to the bottom of the screen so must clear the screen when get to bottom!) - 1=show cursor and disable splashimage, 2=normal splashimage mode, 71 grub_tolower 72 grub_isspace 73 grub_sleep e.g. call Fn.73 3 to sleep for 3 secs 74 mem64 75 envi_cmd 76 strncmpx 77 rectangle (x y w h border_width) - e.g. call Fn.77 180 180 100 100 2 - values in pixels not lines. Can be called multiple times for multiple rectangles on screen. 78 get_cmdline Internal Variable Locations held in memoryWhen grub4dos loads into memory, it will store certain internal, local values at defined places within memory. Sometimes it is useful to read or write to these locations.
For instance, the grub4dos version number is held at location 0x8278 in memory. So you can check what version the user is running by adding these lines to your grub4dos menu.lst file:
This checks the value of 0x8278 to ensure it is between 20120201 (the date that the grub4dos version was made) and -1 (which is the largest possible number). If this check fails then the message is displayed with a 3 second countdown and then the menu is exited.
Some variable locations + examples are given in the lists below:

New commands August 2014
write --bytes=1 0x8277 12 - writes a single byte to address 0x8277
crc32 ()/fred.iso - calculates crc32 of file
Other internal system variablesNote: these are undocumented and they could change at any time! Use them only if you have to:
VAR13 - filesystem type
VAR28 - graphics cursor
VAR29 - menu border character?
VAR42 - current color BG-FG as byte
VAR43 - low 32-bits foreground
VAR44 - low 32-bits background
VAR45 - cmd line string
VAR46 - splashimage loaded
Getting the current standard (console) text and background colours from internal system variables:64-bit background colour - calc 44<<2 + *0x8304 ;; read %@retval% ;; set color_bg=%@retval% 64-bit text colour - calc 43<<2 + *0x8304 ;; read %@retval% ;; set color_fg=%@retval%
8-bit color if in textmode (first 4 bits are background, next 4 bits are text colour) - calc 42<<2 + *0x8304 ;; read %@retval% ;; set color_fb=%@retval%
# get the UUID of a volume containing the menu.lst file we used to run grub4dos (note: do NOT use && to join these lines!)
^ anywhere inside a variable means do not translate to a variable - e.g. set a=%bb^bbb% returns a=%bbbbb% Remove quotes from a string
set id="fred,doris"
call Fn.0 0 %id% | set id=
The ! operator! can only be used after a && or || operator to mean 'else'
New operators (chenal grub4dos versions April 2013 and later)The && and || operators do not affect the environment until the whole line has been executed - e.g.
does not echo '1' because the environment is not updated until after the whole line has been executed. There are now three new operators:
;; - used to separate commands on the same line - e.g.
;& - as ;; but the next command is only executed if the result of the previous command was true, e.g.
;| - as ;; but next command is only executed if the previous command was false.
BEWARE - When using the write command!The syntax of write is:
write [--offset=SKIP] ADDR_OR_FILE INTEGER_OR_STRING
grub4dos will not allow writes to a compressed file. If grub4dos tries to read bytes from a compressed file it will try to decompress the file first.
If you are using an un-initialised memory area, you may find that the write to memory does not work on some systems or on some occasions.
may not write the string 'fred' to the memory area - this is usually because grub4dos thinks that the memory area being used holds a compressed file (which may just be random bytes of memory!). To overcome this you can either temporarily turn off compressed file (gzip and lzma) support using 0x82a4 or ensure the start of the memory area does not contain random bytes, as follows:
equally cat --hex (md)0x3000+1 may not work if grub4dos thinks that the file is a compressed file and if it cannot decompress it.
Press a letter (user presses d on keyboard)
d was pressed (0x64)!
(0x1 is returned by pause --wait=10 if no key is pressed within 10 seconds.)
cat --locate=fred (md)0x3000+1 will return @retval = count of number of instances found.
Note that nearly all commands will change the value of @retval, so copy it to a variable if you need to keep it, e.g.
Mapping a new hard disk(hd) is the next available (free) harddisk number not yet recognised by the BIOS. (hd-1) is the last BIOS harddisk.e.g. If you have 2 hard disks in the system (hd0 and hd1), then ...
Equivalent of dd if=/dev/zero to fill a file with zeros or spacesIf you want to fill a file with the same character or 00 byte, you can fill an area of memory using the memset function first and then use it as if:
map (md)0x300+200 (rd) > nul ;; read 0x82d0 > nul ;; call Fn.24 %@retval% 0x00 102400 > nul dd if=(rd)+1 of=()/ABC.xml # fill (rd) with 0's , 0x82d0 is rd-base mem address, Fn24 is memset - fill memory <addr> <string> <size> - 200 sectors = 102400 bytes If you are not sure how large the target file is, then make the (md) area larger than the file. To fill with spaces, substitute 0x00 with 0x20. To fill an area of memory (e.g. 10*512=5120 bytes) with 0's the following trick can be used (see below for details of why this works): if 1=2 echo never > (md)0xa000+10
will only put 'fred' in memory and the $[0200] will not be redirected. To circumvent this do not to use echo - e.g.
will clear 4 sectors in memory (2048 bytes) and then place the text fred in the first 4 bytes. Also note that due to the way a command line is parsed, the following lines will always fill 2048 bytes of memory at (md)0xa000 with 0's even though fred will never be echo'd this can be fixed by using a ;; or && command to force the parser to execute each section separately: |

"If you don't know where you are going, you'll probably end up........someplace else."
Individual Development Plans (IDPs) provide a planning process that identifies both professional development needs and career objectives. While IDPs have been incorporated into performance review processes in many organizations, they have been used much less frequently in the mentoring of graduate students/postdoctoral fellows.
There are three desirable outcomes from creating an IDP. First, the process aids in identifying long-term career options and helping establish milestones along the way. Second, it defines short-term goals which will focus current performance and give a clearer sense of expectations. Third, the IDP can also serve as a tool for communication between graduate students/postdoctoral fellows and their faculty mentors.
The development, implementation and revision of the IDP requires a series of steps to be conducted by the graduate student/postdoctoral fellow and their mentor. These steps are an interactive effort, so both the graduate student/postdoctoral fellow and the mentor must participate fully in the process.
Step 1:
Conduct a self-assessment
Become familiar with available opportunities
Step 2:
Survey opportunities
Discuss opportunities with grad student/postdoc
Step 3:
Write an IDP and share with mentor to revise
Review IDP and help revise
Step 4:
Implement the plan and revise IDP as needed
Establish regular review of progress and help revise the IDP as needed
Step 1. Conduct a Self Assessment
Step 2. Survey Opportunities with Mentor
Step 3. Write an IDP
The IDP maps out the general path you want to take and helps match skills and strengths to your career choices. It is a changing document, since needs and goals will almost certainly evolve over time as a grad student/postdoc. The aim is to build upon current strengths and skills by identifying areas for development and providing a way to address these. The specific objectives of a typical IDP are to:
Step 4. Implement Your Plan
The plan is just the beginning of the career development process and serves as the road map. Now it's time to take action!
Step 1. Become Familiar with Available Opportunities
By virtue of your experience you should already have knowledge of some career opportunities, but you may want to familiarize yourself with other career opportunities and trends in job opportunities (refer to sources such as National Research Council reports and Science career reviews; see also Resources: Career Opportunities at the end of this document).
Step 2. Discuss Opportunities with Grad Student/Postdoc
This needs to be a private, scheduled meeting distinct from regular research-specific meetings. There should be adequate time set aside for an open and honest discussion.
Step 3. Review IDP and Help Revise
Provide honest feedback - both positive and negative - to help graduate students/postdoctoral fellows set realistic goals. Agree on a development plan that will allow graduate students/postdoctoral fellows to be productive in the laboratory and adequately prepare them for their chosen career.
Step 4. Establish Regular Review of Progress
The mentor should meet at regular intervals with the graduate student/postdoctoral fellow to assess progress, expectations and changing goals. On at least an annual basis, the mentor should conduct a performance review designed to analyze what has been accomplished and what needs to be done. A written review is most helpful in objectively documenting accomplishments.

"What do you see?"
They are the tantalizing first words of "Red," John Logan's engrossing, often enthralling new play about art, an artist and the act of creation.
Not since "White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities." the final thoughts from the Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical "Sunday in the Park With George" has a statement produced such a shiver of anticipation and exhilaration.
And like "Sunday," a musical about French painter Georges Seurat, "Red," which opened Thursday at Broadway's Golden Theatre, focuses on a famous artist, American abstract expressionist Mark Rothko. But unlike "Sunday" and its impoverished hero, "Red" depicts a financially successful man, critically lauded in his prime, yet growling about art, his fellow artists and life.
And the two-character play, set in the late 1950s, deals with an especially lucrative moment for Rothko, his painting of a series of murals for a swank restaurant, the Four Seasons, in the architecturally acclaimed Seagram Building on Park Avenue.
The question that opens "Red" is posed by Rothko to a young man, then hired by the artist to help him with the grunt work of creation: stretching canvases, mixing paint, cleaning brushes and applying ground color, which Rothko admonishes "is not painting."
That is the most elemental pleasure of "Red," watching Rothko, played by a beefy, bald Alfred Molina, and Ken, his new assistant (Eddie Redmayne), as they labor to create these murals. In one astonishing moment, the two men apply a coat of primer to canvas with an almost Dionysian fury and are physically spent by the hard work. So is the audience just by watching them.
In between, a bitter Rothko talks to his eager new employee in a furious eruption of words, words that are delivered by Molina with the fiercest of conviction. The actor inhabits Rothko completely, giving one of those unnerving performances that makes you believe in the possibility of reincarnation.
Redmayne is the perfect foil as the would-be acolyte. Despite being saddled with a melodramatic back story (he is haunted by his parents' murder years ago), the character grows throughout the play's swift-moving 90 minutes, changing from awed tentativeness to a more critical, almost combative observer of genius in action.
Logan, who wrote the screenplays for such diverse films as "Gladiator" and Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd," carefully develops this intriguing give-and-take. As Rothko rails and pontificates, Ken begins to needle. Rothko is not exactly a starving artist, Ken suggests, and the home for his latest works is not a contemplative, chapellike museum but an expensive watering hole for the titans of capitalism.
Rothko is also less than sympathetic about a younger generation of artists such as Warhol, Lichtenstein, Stella and Rauschenberg usurping his prominence, something, Ken points out, the painter himself did when he, Pollack, de Kooning and others took over from the cubists.
The production, under the immaculate, tightly focused direction of Michael Grandage, comes from London's Donmar Warehouse, where Grandage is artistic director. Grandage allows Rothko's barbed, brutish yet often insightful comments on art to unfold with a theatrical flair that educates as well as entertains. After experiencing "Red," "What do you see?" is a question audiences will be able to answer with enormous satisfaction.
Art gets talked about a lot in John Logan's "Red." And it gets made as well: The play's two characters -- abstract expressionist star Mark Rothko and an assistant named Ken -- mix paint, stretch a canvas, prime it.
The downside is, we get to watch that paint dry.
Set in the late 1950s, the self-important London import that opened on Broadway last night centers on the two years when Rothko (Alfred Molina) worked on murals for the then-new Four Seasons restaurant, designed by Philip Johnson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
The audience stand-in is Ken (Eddie Redmayne), a young painter who apprentices with Rothko and is on the receiving end of endless lectures pronounced in definitive tones. When Rothko delivers aphorisms facing us, lit from below in his darkened studio, it feels like Moses coming up with the Commandments instead of merely receiving them from God.
Rothko is a mentor, inspiration, father figure and bully rolled into one towering package. Molina, his head shaved, has an imposing presence and looms over the rail-thin Redmayne.
The show, directed by Michael Grandage (who staged the Jude Law "Hamlet" on Broadway), is at its most engaging when this physicality takes over and the two men throw themselves into their work. It climaxes in a scene in which they slather maroon primer on a canvas in a competitive, quasi-sexual frenzy -- Rothko even lights up a cigarette afterward.
Christopher Oram's evocation of Rothko's studio, bathed in an underworld-like murk, is also striking.
But oh, the empty verbiage, the showoff name-dropping we have to wade through.
After enduring Rothko's pontificating for two years, Ken finally blows his top. He lashes out at his employer, spitting out exactly what we've been thinking for the past hour: that Rothko is a pompous prig, that he may act all high and mighty but he got a fat check to paint for the rich patrons of an expensive restaurant. Which, come to think of it, is pretty much what Logan has been doing, passing off grand statements as deep thoughts.
But they're only a smoke screen, and "Red" eventually emerges not so much as a sophisticated contemplation on art as a conventional coming-of-age tale.
"This is the first time you've existed," Rothko tells his underling after the big outburst. At last, Ken is a man. Can we end the show now?
"Red" looks great, and Molina and Redmayne give superb performances. But the play never takes off because it flatters its audience's intellect instead of challenging it.
Blathering about art doesn't automatically result in art -- or entertainment, for that matter.
Even before you see his eyes, you're aware of the force of his gaze. Portraying the artist Mark Rothko, Alfred Molina sits with his back to the audience at the beginning of "Red," John Logan's intense and exciting two-character bio-drama, which opened on Thursday night at the Golden Theater. Yet the set of his neck and shoulders makes it clear that he is staring hard and hungrily, locked in visual communion with the object before him.
That's an abstract painting, copied from Rothko, and it is indeed very red and very dramatic. But it is Mr. Molina's stare that invests it with real drama. "What do you see?" he asks in the play's first line, with an urgency that is part hope and part despair, with despair in the ascendant. By this time we have looked into his eyes. What we see, above all, is an artist seeing, and it's impossible not to feel thrilled by the privilege.
"Red," which arrives as fresh, yes, as paint from its recent premiere at the Donmar Warehouse in London, initially registers as a visceral exercise in art appreciation. Fortunately though, it turns out to be more a study in artist appreciation, a portrait of an angry and brilliant mind that asks you to feel the shape and texture of thoughts. Set in a New York studio on the Bowery in the late 1950s, the play follows the initiation of Ken (the excellent Eddie Redmayne), a newly hired assistant, into the uncompromising aesthetic of Rothko (1903-1970), who at that time was working on a commissioned series of paintings for the new Four Seasons restaurant.
Rothko was known to be a man of fierce opinions and didactic conversation, attributes that Mr. Logan latches onto gratefully and fruitfully. Much of "Red," directed by Michael Grandage, unfolds as a combative Socratic dialogue between teacher and pupil, a master class of questions and answers about the methods and purpose of Rothko's art. "I am not your teacher," Rothko says, shortly after meeting Ken. But he sure sounds like it.
Rothko, you see, wants to be understood. And that requires understanding the whole history of Western painting, and Nietzsche and Freud and Jung and Shakespeare, to cite just a few of the cultural names that are not so much dropped as flung here. Ken, a fast learner, is soon giving as good as he gets. Sessions in the studio become heated debates on the Apollonian and Dionysian impulses in Rothko's painting, per Nietzsche's "Birth of Tragedy."
This may suggest an all-too-familiar Broadway recipe for flattering middlebrows into feeling highbrow, allowing audience members to signal their sophistication with knowing laughs at intellectual references. Mr. Logan, whose previous work includes the drama "Never the Sinner" and the screenplays for "Gladiator" and "The Aviator," doesn't entirely avoid the expected conventions of fictional works about real (and usually anguished) artists, an often embarrassing genre.
But as much as any stage work I can think of, "Red" captures the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations. (Only the Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine musical "Sunday in the Park With George" comes to mind as being similarly successful.) It's one thing to say — or to have a character say — that an artist regards his paintings as his children. But it's another to be able to look at that artist looking at his paintings, as Mr. Molina's Rothko does, with a fraught, fatherly anxiety and wonder.
These feelings are not only parental. An obsessive lover's possessiveness and perplexity glitter in this Rothko's eyes like a fever as he runs a tentative, caressing hand over a canvas or looks out at the (unseen) painting on the fourth wall between the stage and the audience. His own work — which is exquisitely presented in facsimile by the designers Christopher Oram (set) and Neil Austin (lighting) in ways that reflect Rothko's own conscientious theatricality — seems truly to speak to him. Watch him look up, abruptly and wounded, as if one of his paintings has just called to him and is not necessarily saying what he wants to hear.
That's the primary relationship in "Red." But there's another one too, of course, one that allows it to exist as a proper play, with dialogue and confrontation and resolution. I mean the relationship between Rothko and his protégé, though Ken might argue that Rothko is too much a monomaniac to sustain such a human bond. Mr. Logan presents the younger man as the voice of both a puritanical conscience and a new generation of artists that threaten Rothko's rule.
Ken is there to challenge his employer's dismissal of the likes of Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol (all of whom Rothko says lack depth and substance), and to plant doubts about the appropriateness of hanging contemplative paintings in a temple of consumption like the Four Seasons. So there are assorted, distinctly Oedipal clashes between the two men, played for all-out dramatic fierceness, and a gloriously frenzied, feral canvas-priming scene (staged to a swelling Gluck aria). Mr. Grandage ("Frost/Nixon," the Jude Law "Hamlet") is a canny craftsman of the theater, and he makes sure that the play's intellectual arguments are sensually grounded.
Each character is given to pointing out the reductive sentimentality and banality in the arguments of the other, which conveniently allows Mr. Logan to stave off criticisms of being clichéd himself. The play also saddles Ken with some cumbersome dramatic luggage, including the obligatory Secret From His Past and a concluding scene that rounds off things a little too resonantly and expectedly.
Mr. Redmayne, who last month won the Olivier Award (the British version of the Tony) for his performance, keeps his character from ever seeming like a mere device. His Ken has a spine and a mind of his own, and you can feel both growing stronger throughout the play.
That he is able to hold his own against Mr. Molina's Rothko is no mean achievement. In his strongest Broadway performance to date, the dauntless Mr. Molina embraces the artist's egotism unconditionally, and he makes us feel the necessity of an overweening, humorless vanity and — to use a word that for Rothko denotes a cardinal virtue — seriousness.
It's risky these days to play someone who speaks in grand statements and capital letters about Art and Immortality. We've become accustomed to the safe distance of winking quotation marks. But when this Rothko says there is "tragedy in every brush stroke" of his work, we believe him. The fear and hubris that never leave his eyes as he looks at his big but so vulnerable paintings guarantees that.
In the Playbill notes for Red (* * * out of four), John Logan's new work about the painter Mark Rothko, historian Simon Schama tells us that Rothko was, for all his demons, "far merrier than the legend of gloom-burdened genius allows."
That levity is nowhere to be found, though, in Logan's well-crafted but unsurprising drama, which opened Thursday at Broadway's Golden Theatre. Red presents its subject, a leading figure of abstract expressionism (though he resisted that label), as a tormented crank with no apparent social graces, and provides him with a curious, increasingly brash young assistant to emphasize these qualities.
There's talk of Nietzsche and Aeschylus, and debate over the merits of Rothko's various peers and potential new rivals. (Jackson Pollock, that other self-destructive maverick, gets a lot of attention.) As the play unfolds, Rothko is working on the murals he intended for, but ultimately withheld from, Manhattan's swank Four Seasons restaurant. This leads to much hand-wringing about the tension between commerce and art.
But the most illuminating and affecting aspect of this production, imported from London's Donmar Warehouse, is Alfred Molina's performance as Rothko. Under Michael Grandage's typically crisp, smart direction, Molina brings a wry humanity to the part that transcends tortured-artist clichés.
Not that the actor tries to make his character more likable, or give him the kind of predictable soft center that Logan avoids. This Rothko is a confirmed sourpuss, but Molina mines the humor in his irascibility without mocking it. He also finds in him a certain empathy, a grudging respect for the dignity and suffering of other gifted, troubled strivers.
Rothko's relationship with his employee, Ken, is crucial here. "I am not your rabbi, I am not your shrink, I am not your friend, I am not your teacher," Ken is told on his first day of work. But those roles are inevitably invoked by both men during their two years together, documented over a rigorous 90 minutes.
Ken's stubborn questions, and his very presence, force Rothko to confront the passage of time — a poignant issue for a former upstart who boasts early on of having "stomped ... to death" a previous generation of artists.
Eddie Redmayne, a delicately handsome British actor, relays Ken's youthful zeal but struggles with his Midwestern accent (the character says he is from Iowa). He and Molina share the stage with a series of canvases, fashioned by set and costume designer Christopher Oram to represent Rothko's works in progress — great splashes of deep, stark color that reflect creative and emotional turmoil.
It's a lot to compete with, visually, but the players aren't overshadowed. Ultimately, it's Molina who gives this Red its intensity, and its bright, aching finish.
"Red" may be all talk and no action -- but what talk! Scribe John Logan sends American abstract impressionist painter Mark Rothko into battle with his demons in this electrifying play of ideas, and the artist's howls are pure music. Alfred Molina is majestic as Rothko, defying the future he reads in the face of Eddie Redmayne, who holds his own as Rothko's young assistant. Although Michael Grandage's muscular production was trucked in from the Donmar Warehouse, where it preemed last year and was nommed for three Olivier Awards, the show feels as if it's come home to Broadway.
Logan (Oscar-nommed for his scripts for "Gladiator" and "The Aviator") takes us inside Rothko's studio in 1958, at a critical point in his career. Lionized among a peer group of painters that includes Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, Rothko has just been commissioned to paint a series of murals for the Four Seasons restaurant being installed in the spectacular new Seagram Building going up on Park Avenue.
At this point, Rothko is in a state of mind that qualifies as "happy" for someone notorious for his black depressions, seething rages and bouts with the bottle. Happy enough, anyway, to hire a young assistant named Ken (Redmayne) to help him stretch his canvases and mix his paints, go out for Chinese food and listen to his rants against rival painters, greedy gallery owners and crafty museum curators -- not to mention the "goddamn-son-of-a-bitch-art-critics."
Molina, an actor in constant demand on both sides of the pond, plays Rothko at full titanic force. Establishing a big, authoritative presence (surprisingly enhanced by the bald pate), he turns in a robust portrait of the artist as a man of fierce intelligence and ferocious drive, undone only by the forces of time.
Set designer Christopher Oram ("Frost/Nixon") gives Rothko a space big enough to contain both his rampaging ego and his monumental aesthetic vision. Bare to the bricks and dark as a tomb ("Nature doesn't work for me," Rothko says about his aversion to painting under natural light), the studio is more like a warehouse, housing stacks of the gigantic color-saturated canvases that define his distinctive style.
Big as it is, the studio can't contain the artist's ambition to create his own monument. In a bout of grandiosity, he declares the capitalist shrine of the Four Seasons a proper "chapel" for the contemplation of his politically challenging work. When reminded by Ken that the murals will hang in a busy restaurant, he bullishly insists: "I will make it a temple."
For much of the first half of this two-hander, Ken has little to contribute beyond playing the quietly resentful sounding board for the great man's dictates on art, life and his own genius.
Everything that comes out of Rothko's mouth -- from his wonderful tip on how to approach his art ("let it pulsate") to his stark description of Jackson Pollock's death ("a lazy suicide") -- is worth straining to hear. But his relentless browbeating of Ken into submissive silence reduces his end of the dialogue to brilliant aphorisms that brook no response.
Happily, Redmayne (winner of a supporting actor Olivier and of both the Evening Standard and Critics' Circle awards for outstanding newcomer) is an admirably cool and subtle performer. Leaving the visionary bombast to Rothko, he conveys Ken's unspoken rebuttals in the stubborn thrust of his chin and the glare in his eye.
Over the two-year course of what is essentially a static drama, the most dynamic indicators of change are the paintings. Although Rothko maintains his pose of the roaring bull, the canvases tell a different story, as great, pulsating swaths of life-affirming red are gradually swallowed up by ominous patches of deadly black.
The turning point of the play, staged with operatic grandeur by Grandage, is so intense that anyone who leaves the theater should be shot.
Set (by sound designer Adam Cork) to a thunderous suite of classical music and lighted (by Neil Austin) in Stygian gloom, the scene finds the artist and his assistant preparing a fresh canvas. After stretching the canvas and mixing the paints, both men plunge thick brushes into their paint cans and in expansive synchronized strokes proceed to saturate the canvas -- and cover themselves -- with red paint.
Bloodied, as it were, Ken finds his voice, becoming less of a Socratic sap and more of a foil for Rothko. But even as the play expands into more interesting territory, allowing for genuinely combative dialogues about theories of color and the new pop-art movement and the role of the artist in a commercial world, Logan keeps turning the screws on Rothko.
Whatever we make of the grand fiasco of the Four Seasons commission, or think about the young generation of artists clamoring to be seen and heard, there's no doubt that Rothko is one old lion that will keep roaring until he draws his last breath.

after i bought this shampoo of kanebo, got it due to the scent,(smells nice), but for my hair, it gave my hair bed head, and dry hair feel, sorry but I had to toss this one in the trash being the japanese store I got this from Wont take back once you buy and use, well, i wont be buying this no more, didnt work good for my hair, but may work for other people But scent wise, I LOVED IT,but for this to work the way I wanted it to, NOPE, I WONT get this no more, sorry.
This is very gentle and moisturizing, but leaves my hair too soft and flyaway. Would be perfect for those with finer or drier hair. But it does have a great, clean, floral smell and lathers great.
As a Kerastase devotee and having attempted great hair, I have purchased EVERYTHING you can possibly imagine like Alterna White Truffle, FF, JF Lazartique, Rene...you name it, I've tried it. Drugsore on up. However, nothing I have ever tried has ever prepared me for the glory and wonder that is kanebo. I purchased 3 items: shampoo, intensive mask and leave-in conditioner. WOW! My hair is a totally different animal. I actually love it! I've changed my hair by so many colors and highlighted so much that it should've fallen off. The shampoo is a great cleansing yet moisturizing shampoo that leaves no film or residue, leaves my hair clean yet soft, and without further damage from cleanser. Best of all, speaking from someone who is allergic/sensitive to EVERYTHING under the sun, this is the first time I don't feel any sort of after-effect (rash, sensitivity, etc.) after use. I LOVE THIS! My serious HG! The price is the kicker! If I recall correctly, it was $30 but considering all the money I've dished out before it's not a big deal b/c you don't need a lot of the product. A little quarter size will do ya (I have past shoulder lenght hair, btw).It's a definite must!

I think it may be a common cross known as p.loefrengii x caerulea. Very pretty. |
I would vote for the related hybrid between P. kermesina and P. caerulea, P. 'Amethyst' or P. 'Lavender Lady'. It's been around for a lot longer so there's a lot more of it out there. A surprisingly high percentage of the ID questions on this forum are for that hybrid, probably because so many succeed with it. |

WINDHAM, N.Y. — Lincoln resident Alison Zimmer placed second in the downhill race at the Windham U.S. National Mountain Bike Race here on Sunday, almost certainly qualifying her to try out for the 2013 UCI (International Cycling Union) Mountain Bike World Cup — the most elite series of mountain biking competitions in the world.
Just one day earlier she handily won the Super D race, which includes cross-country and uphill stages but does not have a world cup championship.
BRISTOL — The host Mount Abraham 11- and 12-year-old softball all-star team completed its overpowering run through the District I tournament on Sunday, when Mount Abe defeated Shelburne, 15-0, to sweep the tournament's playoff round, two games to none. The Eagles had knocked off Shelburne, 33-3, on Saturday in the first game of the best-of-three series.
ADDISON COUNTY — In a March 27 email before the start of this spring season, Otter Valley Union High School baseball coach Tim Mitchell asked, "Too early to feel the excitement in the air?"
Well, no, turns out it wasn't.
MIDDLEBURY — All the pre-season jitters are gone now that opening weekend is in the rearview mirror.

Germany on the brink
You could almost suppose that Germany had no past before 1933, so massively does the Third Reich overwhelm popular thought and historical writing about the country. But it does, and one of the most interesting periods is the one immediately preceding . . .


text: Air Force Announces New 'Tape Under The Fold' Regulation For PT Test Davies September 12, 2012 Air Force 31 Comments Follow Duffel Blog: SAN ANTONIO, TX – In an unprecedented maneuver, the United States Air Force has decided to modify its Physical Training Test to include taping under stomach folds during the waist measurement portion of the test. The move comes after years of complaints alluding to sexual harassment, unfair testing, and improper measurements. "Truth is," says Senior Master Sergeant Harry Shneidman, a physical medicine specialist, "most airmen these days have some type of abdominal pouch." The old regulation stated that the "tester will locate the measurement landmark immediately above the right uppermost hip bone (superior border of the iliac crest) at the side of the body vertically in line with the right armpit (midaxillary line). If desired, Airmen may assist the tester in locating the measurement landmark by resting the right hand on the hip, using rearward facing right thumb to locate the iliac crest." Many airman have been confused that the wording of these directions alludes to large stomachs being the so called "measurement landmark." "I literally had one airman turn to me and ask: Do you want me to flip it up?" said Senior Airman Cassie Hebowitz, a physical training leader (PTL) at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. "The airman taking her PT test was a mother of three and just never lost the baby weight. I did not know how to interpret the regulations so I just told her no, and proceeded to tape over the fold." "She was mad afterward, but I told her there was no way I was going to even try to tape underneath that thing." This situation has become common place, as thousands of PTLs have been reporting fold taping issues. Even the highest levels of Air Force leadership have gotten involved. Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark A. Welsh III commented at his recent swearing in that, "the eradication of stomach folds will be one of my top priorities as the Air Force's top leader." Secretary Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Martin Dempsey were somewhat stunned at the comment given other top priorities for the Air Force, such as the flight safety of the F-22, and the war in Afghanistan. One anonymous airman stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany says the new regulation provides much needed relief. "German beer is heavy, and even though I PT twice a week, I've put at least 7 inches on around my waist and have a fold that hangs at least 3 inches over my belt now. Knowing they will just tape under my stomach gives me a little breathing room, and to be honest, will boost my self-esteem while still allowing me to enjoy the local brew when off duty." Other airmen disagree. "If a person has a fold, they should just continue to tape over it. I mean it's fit to fight, not fit to drink!" said Technical Sergeant Chris Vajeeja. The new 'under the fold' PT regulation will go into effect in October for fiscal year 2013. Don't miss the next story.Get the latest news and alerts from Duffel Blog delivered to your inbox—free.

To think I could be rocking a beer gut right now with other anonymous airmen. Michelle Dawn Lotz-Lynch says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM Bwaahhhh Donna Soares Burt says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM I've always heard that is called dunlaps disease….belly dun lapped over your belt. Tiffany Duff says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM Satire…it's a thing now. Tell us again how crap the Air Force is though…please…and how other branches are better..argh, damn that Air Force and their technology! Drew Smith says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM This is ridiculous. As an airman I have to say that I agree with the last quote. I am stationed here at Ramstein and I see this all the time. People with huge pot bellies. What kind of image does that give to the American public about one of their military branches! People think that we are just a bunch of fat, lazy people in camo. No we are a military branch who should be constantly fit to fight! Pamela Stallworth says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM it's called discipline people, it is the MILITARY after all, times have sure changed since I was in and not for the better. Ryan Phillips says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM Everyone knows this is fake right? I mean read the other stories. Patrick Cahill says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM Just started reading this site and its funny. Julie Gibson Halstead says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM Glad to hear the AF is finally accomodating for Dunlap's Disease ("My belly done lapped over my pants!"). Robert McDaniel says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM seems legit Axel Blaster says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM Brilliant. Now, Even the Chief can pass. HUA! Daniel Barton says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM And let the shit talking commence…….this should be good. James Nealley says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM At this point they should just get rid of the waist measurement all together and go back to performance, meaning the ability to complete all of the physical standards in push ups, sit ups and running. Besides not everyone is actually fat just because they do have a large waist. Cesar Carrillo says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM Damn now I know why every time I see the Air Force PT it seems like they have no glow belts , its just tucked under their bellies for more support :]. Joc No says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2013/03/air-force-colonel-relieved-for-failing-pt-032013w?fb_comment_id=fbc_158948417597944_380570_158982624261190#f39dd18c08 Barry King says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM This is absolutely ridiculous! I can see making exceptions, but that guy complaining about his belly fold being due to drinking too much German beer…give me a break! That guy needs to hit the gym more than twice a week! You CAN drink beer and not have a "fold"! Seroiusly…this is absurd! Chase Roush says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM These must be AMMO troops. IYAAYAS! Jeffrey MacHott says: April 16, 2014 at 1:24 AM It's not a pot belly, it's an "Extended Performance" fuel tank! Polo says: September 25, 2012 at 7:15 AM And I'm still laughing. Funny, but so close to the truth in some cases that it is sad… but still funny! Tony Brown says: September 18, 2012 at 7:25 AM Great story…but one problem…IT'S NOT TRUE!! I just read the entire new AF PT program and this is FALSE!! Busted!! La-a says: September 18, 2012 at 9:13 AM You must be a senior leader KK says: September 20, 2012 at 8:33 PM lol I can't believe people take this seriously. Osama bon Jovi says: October 10, 2012 at 2:32 PM How DARE you question the Journalistic integrity of The Duffel Blog!!! Juan Valdez says: September 16, 2012 at 8:57 AM Hmmm, this isn't all that far out there for the USAF; I wouldn't be surprised if I read this in AF Times or something similar. Maybe they should just eliminate the physical standards all together. Timmy says: September 13, 2012 at 6:44 AM Fuck this, people need to stop being lazy and make healthy choices, and continue to work out longer than 3 weeks before their PT test so they can pass La-a says: September 13, 2012 at 8:13 AM Timmy there is no room for that kind of bigtory in todays Air Force. If this countinues I will have to file an EEO complaint against you. Fat people have feelings too. Lumpstyle says: September 13, 2012 at 8:48 AM Yeah…they have feelings, "under the fold"!!! Rooster says: September 13, 2012 at 5:09 AM yes, of course you wear the glow belt under the FUPA* that way when you relax, no one can see you approaching and that makes you stealthy. The same is true for the sides. The only way they'll see your glow belt is from behind as your butterfly tramp stamp grows into a california condor. sweet says: September 12, 2012 at 10:53 PM To La-a, That would be the mandatory Glow belt Air Force requires everyone to wear. La-a says: September 12, 2012 at 12:42 PM With this new AFI, will we also be authorized to wear the physical fittness belt under the fold? HolyWOW says: September 12, 2012 at 11:38 AM Too Funny! It looks like it will be beneficial for fat airmen to make sure they have folds instead of that big bulbous drinkers stomach with no folds. Keep that fat jiggly and loose men.

I have seen the Ka-Bluey blueberry advertised in the Gurney's catalog for the last several years as the "most delicious blueberry ever" and wonder if anyone on here has tried it. Other than self-pollinating it doesn't indicate what type it is. |
Follow-Up Postings:
botcat, Although I find all the hype annoying, I bought a couple out of curiosity and to fill out a row. They did well their first year. I removed all blossoms and will do so again this coming year, so I can't comment on the taste. Verdict is still out on how they will overwinter. Still, I have no complaints thus far with them.

PANAJI: The state cabinet has decided to accept the Justice SK Shah report on the Balli riots and will take action on the officers blamed for the "complete failure" to prevent the violence that led to the death of two tribal youth, despite having prior knowledge that an agitation had been planned.
Briefing media persons at the post-cabinet meeting press conference on Friday, chief minister Manohar Parrikar said that in view of the report disciplinary proceedings would start against the two officers.
The judicial inquiry report into the May 25, 2011, Balli riots by retired judge of the Bombay high court, Justice SK Shah, has indicted former South Goa collector GP Naik and then-South Goa SP Tony Fernandes.
Considering that Naik has already retired, his file would have to be moved to the governor for action, Parrikar said. He also handed out copies of the cabinet note giving details of the Shah Commission report.
The cabinet note lists out the points of reference before the Shah Commission. To a point whether the district administration had failed to act effectively to prevent the incidents of violence and avert loss of life, the report states, "There was complete failure on the part of the district law and order machinery to prevent the incidents of violence."
The report, however, states that "there is absolutely no evidence as to particularly who was the person who set Adarsh Bhavan and Achal Building on fire."
It also notes that though a "large number of public and private vehicles were damaged and set on fire after the incidence of lathi charge, there is no pointed evidence to show who were those persons."
To another point, the report notes "it appears that at all levels of law and order machinery, the call given by United Tribal Association Alliance (UTAA) about the agitation to be held on May 25, 2011, was taken lightly," and that "there was total non-application of mind and failure of judgment on the part of Naik and Fernandes in resorting to lathi charge."
The report notes that it was at the "instigation" of the UTAA leaders that the agitators blocked the roads at Balli junction. It, however, states that "there is absolutely no evidence to indicate that the UTAA leaders had instigated its members to create violence leading to damage of public and private properties."
The report also blames the district administration, which despite having prior knowledge of the agitation, did not arrange an alternate road route for smooth vehicular traffic. "It is clear that both the blockade of road as well as railway track would have been avoided," the report states.
In his remarks on the report, special secretary (home) TM Balakrishnan stated that "it seems that taking disciplinary action for imposition of major penalty proceedings is called for in respect of GP Naik, collector (who has since retired from service) and Tony Fernandes, the then SP (South) and Tushar Vernekar, police inspector Cuncolim police station at the relevant time."
Regarding the agitators and their leaders, Balakrishnan observes that "orders have already been issued by the government empowering the members of the Delhi Special Police Establishment to investigate the cases registered against them."

Rome Anthem and Analog Gear. I'll be the one yelling and having a good time while keepin it super technical with mad style.
Spent the last 3+ years riding the 32 Timba's which were great but after 100+ days on the mountain they were beat up and ultimately snapped an inner lace on my last day last spring. Spent months searching for boots and looking at different products. I had previously sworn by Burton products but as their costs escalated I began looking elsewhere and now ride a Rome board/bindings and all Analog gear. Boards, Bindings, gloves, helmets can all be had from other manufacturers for a fraction of the cost. I kept coming back to these boots though and ultimately decided to pull the trigger. I have 4 days on them this year (East Coast has been suffering from lack of snow) and honestly i'm impressed. The lashed boot is easy to get in and out of and the customization for comfort is endless. It's super light weight, and it literally took NO time to break in, no cramped toes, pressure points or packing out the boot, bullshit. Just slipped them on and hit the slopes like I had them for years and they got better with each day. I'm a size 10 sneaker/dress shoe, and ordered a size 10 boot and it fit perfect. True to Size! I would say Burton's technology when it comes to boots certainly surpasses the competition and with a boot being one piece of gear that can RUIN a day, don't be cheap!

Picked this up a few weeks ago and it's super comfortable. All the functionality you would expect from an Analog product with the Dogfunk guarantee...you can't go wrong. I'm 6'0" 180lbs and went with an XL, it fits perfect.

Breakfast Topic: What's that one quirky thing you just have to do? {WoW}
Jul 12th 2011 8:26AM I'm not sure if I get funny looks or not, but my quirky thing is HALO ... no, not the game, but as in parachute jumping. (High Altitude Low Opening) I like to fly up to about ... 5,000 virtual feet or so and then dismount. Since I'm a priest I have a built in parachute in the form of levitate. I pop that sucker at the last possible second. It works a lot better now that I've glyph'd out of needing the fathers... Which I used run out of a lot, and lets face it, carrying 10 stacks of feathers around would get me some strange looks. I've got a pretty good sense of timing now, but every once in a while I do something like hit a tree, cliff or building and ker-splat. I also have a problem with miss-keys because have the wrong button bar up. Then I can be seen just frantically equipping my fishing pole as I fall to my death.
The sudden yet inevitable betrayal of gaming immersion {WoW}
Jan 7th 2011 10:24PM Yeah, they needed to have some model dinosaurs in that scene to sell it.
Shifting Perspectives: The unbearable suckhood of pugging {WoW}
Dec 23rd 2010 11:37AM At the risk of sounding like an elitist jerk, I welcome the new more difficult heroics. I hope Blizzard answers all the whining about how hard they are by introducing several new nearly impossible heroic dungeons and leave all the existing ones just they way they are. Heroics are not, nor should they be for everyone. They are after all, ... heroic. We know some players are better than others, any measurement can prove that. If you respond to this thinking that all players are equal, you need to take off the beer-googles and look around. Some players are never going to have the memory to keep track of all the different mechanics from one dungeon to the next. Some will never have the reflexes to manage enough dps, tank or heal. Many more will never invest the time to find out, they just don't have the attention span. Personally the minimum gear score needs to be raised, or crafted gear needs to have the numbers lowered. There are too many folks getting a ticket to ride the heroics that have no business being there. Hell I run into one guy every Pug-Run who doesn't know how to run back to the dungeon after wiping.
Having said this, I know Blizzard will eventually hit all the instances with the NERF hammer if folks stop trying or worse, keep whining. I just wish they would give it some time to let those who can rise to the challenge, do so.
The Wrath you never saw {WoW}
Dec 29th 2009 10:05AM I have a feeling we will see a lot of this unused content repurposed for zones and playable content in Cataclysm. I have a feeling that Blizzard looked at the long abandoned Outland world and now realizes that having players level though a ghost-town to get to Wrath is a bit of a downer. Granted it was only a few days for some, it's still a huge resource that is now just going to drift in space and go largely unused. Much of the same can be said of Old Azeroth in the higher level zones. How many players spend much time in Felwood or Winterspring? Miners and Blacksmiths looking to get though 300 are about it.
At some point the designers are going to have to face that the timeline in a game like WoW is as much of a canvas as are the dungeons and landmasses. My guess is we will see a dramatic increase in the use of the now proven phased zone techniques developed for Wrath. We could end up with a phase of Azeroth before the portal was opened to outland, ending with an event replaying the portal being opened. Next would be a Burning Crusade phase and then the Wrath phase. Part of me doesn't want to whole of Azeroth go through the Cataclysm transformation and be missed by new players.

Nazir Alli to stay put - Motlanthe
Comment on this story
Sanral CEO Nazir Alli, who resigned last month, is to "stay put", Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe said on Thursday.
"There is no search for a new CEO," Motlanthe said in Cape Town.
Speaking in Cape Town at a media briefing on the controversial e-tolling system that the government is seeking to impose on Gauteng highways, he confirmed the resignation had been withdrawn.
Asked if this meant Alli had withdrawn his resignation, he said the SA National Roads Agency Ltd's board had received the resignation, but Alli had proffered it in the belief that he was not contributing towards solving Sanral's problems.
"We received a letter of resignation... (but) indeed the problem did not revolve around him... So there was an understanding he stays put."
The board had still to formally deal with the matter.
Earlier, Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele told journalists what Alli had been trying to do with his resignation was say: "If I'm the problem, I want to remove myself."
However, the government felt Alli was not the problem.
"So that (his resignation) is not on... So we need to continue, particularly in this (coming) period, because we need all the experience that we have... we want all hands on deck," Ndebele said. - Sapa

We have an electric 5-ton horizontal log splitter from Northern Tools in Mn. It worked great until the other day. The electric motor is fine, the hydraulic air valve is open, nothing is obstructed but the spitting wedge will not retract. The owner's manual does not address this in the trouble shooting section and customer service was unable to help. Has anyone else experienced this or solved this type of problem? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If there is a coupling between the motor shaft and the hyd pump shaft,is it in good condition? Mike |
I got an electric splitter from www.omegastores.com and they could answer my questions with the log splitter! They were very helpful actually. Contact them and they might be able to help you as well. Since you did not buy the splitter from them, they may charge you some for the technical help but it's worth it. |
