So, in my new house I've pretty much decided that the ballet that I have to go through to wedge my car in the garage is too much effort. There is more than enough driveway to go around. & the street is a cul-de-sac\, so parking is a non-issue for now.
This gives me free reign of the garage to convert it into a nice workshop / storage space for all of my gear. I spent the last few days undoing the previous owner's seeming fascination with banging (now rusty) nails into stuff. I'm pretty sure this was their solution to all storage needs. Bang a nail into the wall and hang someting on it. (are you supposed to nail straight into the mortar between the concrete block??) I saw this more as a tetanus risk than anything else. There was some step-cracking from previous shifting (fixed with wall anchor system) It has been "fixed" with caulk & then painted over. I think this should be properly fixed with mortar. I've also got a ton of holes to fix in the garage after my nail-pulling session.

One should never anchor anything in mortar between blocks and brick. The rest of your post would most likely be a personal preference thing. After pulling nails, I'd hit the holes with mortar. This would be for looks only, to hide the tetanus risk holes. Although caulk in the settlement cracks was to hide the cracks, I'd dig any loose caulk out and plug with mortar and then paint the walls. Again, for looks and mental gratification only. Adding the mortar isn't going to give it any more strength. Since this will be your hangout, why not do it now while it's new to you and not as cluttered as it will be 5 yuears from now? |
Thanks for the advice. I'll make it a springtime project. Good Idea to do it now before all the junk one accumulates in there. I've got to mortar some brick on the outside so I might as well do it all at once. Thanks! Rich |

Sonnox Oxford Plug-ins have earned a world-class reputation for their high-quality processing, precision control and intuitive graphical interfaces.
The Sonnox Elite Collection contains seven powerful mixing plug-ins used by countless professionals all over the world. Don't waste money or time collecting Oxford plug-ins one by one, save a massive 40% off the individual prices, by purchasing them as the Sonnox Elite Collection.
Contains: Oxford EQ, Oxford Dynamics, Oxford Inflator, Oxford Transient Modulator, Oxford Reverb, Oxford Limiter and Oxford SuprEsser
Sonnox Oxford EQ
The EQ plug-in is based on the OXF-R3 EQ section. It is a fully functional 5-band application with selectable shelf settings on LF and HF sections. Additionally, separate variable slope low pass and high pass filters are provided. The EQ also features 4 different selectable EQ types that cover most of the EQ styles currently popular amongst professional users, including some legacy styles which are renowned for their artistic capability. The use of novel coefficient generation and intelligent processing design provides unparalleled performance that surpasses analogue EQ in both sound quality and artistic freedom. This plug-in may well provide all the EQ you ever needed.
- 5 band fully parametric EQ
- Variable HF & LF filters up to 36dB/Octave
- Algorithm taken directly from the Sony OXF-R3
- Four different EQ types in one plug-in
- Fully de-cramped HF response
- A / B switches (automatable)
- Ultra low noise and distortion
Sonnox Oxford Dynamics
The Oxford Dynamics plug-in is modeled on the extremely flexible and capable unit used in the OXF-R3 professional mixing console. Resulting from many years research into professional dynamics applications, it offers separate Compress, Limit, Expand, Gate and side chain EQ functions, with full independent control of all parameters. Features such as selectable time constant curves and variable soft compress functions allow the user to confidently tackle all common uses of compression, from subtle unobtrusive level control and mastering functions to the production of great artistic effects. The use of a feed-forward architecture with logarithmic side chain processing, making use of look-ahead techniques, ensures exemplary sonic characteristics and dynamic accuracy, with an artistic capability simply unavailable from other single units, analogue or digital. This highly sophisticated and professional product has the power and flexibility to obviate the need for many of the separate applications most users keep for specific uses.
- The dynamics section from Sony OXF-R3 console
- Separate sections for Compressor, Gate, Expander, Limiter
- 2-Band side chain EQ (with audition function)
- Warmth control for extra presence and tube-like warmth
- Three different compressor types (linear and exponential curves)
- Variable soft knee compressor
- Separate 5.1 bus compressor (where supported)
- Ultra low noise and distortion
Sonnox Oxford Inflator
The Inflator is a unique process that can provide an increase in the apparent loudness of almost any programme, without obvious loss of quality or audible reduction of dynamic range, yet avoiding damaging increases in the peak level of the signal. The inflator process can also bring power, presence and warmth to programme material and even provide headroom overload margin above digital maximum with a subtlety and musical character reminiscent of tube systems.
Use the Inflator to produce louder mixes than you thought possible without overloads or compression pumping, or use it to add natural warmth and character to acoustic or jazz mixes.
- Adds presence and tube-like warmth
- Increases perceived loudness of any material
- Provides virtual headroom above digital maximum
- Direct and band-split modes
Sonnox OxfordTransient Modulator
The Transient Modulator is an application that allows dynamic level of signals to be modified by the transients in the programme material over time. The effect is to bring transient events in the programme forwards, or push them into to the background, such that the attacks of instruments can be accentuated or softened depending on settings.
- Accentuates or softens attacks and transients
- Brings instruments forwards or pushes them back in the mix
- Radically changes the dynamics of instruments
- Variable harmonic enhancement for extra punch
- Can have the effect of increasing or decreasing room ambience
- Gives life to dull sounding recordings without the artifacts of compression
Sonnox Oxford Reverb
The Oxford Reverb plug-in is a highly flexible stereo reverberation generator, designed to complement existing Sonnox Oxford applications in providing the user with the highest technical and sonic performance coupled with artistic and creative facility. As well as providing stunning presets, the user has full control over all of its many parameters, including a very comprehensive early reflections section, and integrated 5-band EQ. The Sonnox Oxford Reverb allows the powerful facility to create virtual spaces freely, depending on artistic need, ranging from dry reflection ambiences, room and hall simulations, sound effects, all the way to wide open reverberant spaces with a very large range of possible texture and spatial character.
- Extremely flexible stereo modelling reverb
- Full control over all of its many parameters
- Independent control of early reflections and reverb tail
- Integrated 5-band EQ
- Over 100 invaluable presets for music and post-production
Sonnox Oxford Limiter
The Oxford Limiter has been developed from decades of professional audio experience to provide a very high degree of quality and facility in programme loudness control and limiting functions. By employing highly accurate logarithmic side chain processing, along with innovative adaptive timing functionality using look ahead signal acquisition, the limiter provides exemplary performance, whether one is seeking general transparent level control, programme loudness maximisation or heavily applied artistic sound effects.
Unique processing in the form of the Enhance function provides the sample value limiting needed to reliably avoid overloads in digital workstation environments and allows unprecedented volume and punch to be applied to programme beyond that available from conventional limiting functions.
Comprehensive metering is provided which displays not only conventional peak sample value, but additionally allows the user to monitor the true validity of the programme in order to avoid the generation of damaging reconstruction overloads in the target equipment which are often invisible during production (sometimes termed 'inter sample peaks').
A further function allows the user to dynamically correct for reconstruction overloads in real time, thereby achieving maximum possible modulation levels without the risks of producing illegal signals often associated with compression and limiting.
Comprehensive dithering functionality with selectable and variable depth noise shaping ensures first class mastering output quality in either 24 bit or 16 bit modes.
- Enhance section to increase perceived loudness
- Reconstruction meter shows "actual" signal rather than sampled signal
- Auto compensate feature corrects recon errors without losing overall programme loudness
- Attack, release and variable soft knee controls
- Comprehensive dither and noise shaping
- Complete with many factory presets
Sonnox Oxford SuprEsser
The Oxford SuprEsser is both a very highly-featured professional De-Esser and a Dynamic EQ. There is a simple mode for quick fixes, but also an advanced mode for increased functionality and fine-tuning. The combination of an intuitive FFT display and three listen modes enables the user to easily see and hear exactly where the problem frequencies are, allowing the rapid reduction or removal of the offending audio. As well as being able to trigger the full band compression, only the offending frequencies can be carefully carved out. Since the SuprEsser can operate at all frequencies, 'plosives' and other annoyances can also be removed effortlessly, making it more than a simple De-Esser. Additional features include Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering and a Wet/Dry blend control for final balancing. More…
- Highly featured professional De-Esser
- Linear Phase Dynamic EQ
- Transparently controls aggressive frequencies
- Automatic Level Tracking follows energy levels (no need to automate threshold)
- Large intuitive graphic display makes finding frequencies very easy
- Full Spectrum Operation (20Hz -20KHz)
- Three different 'Listen' modes
- Very easy to use
- Advanced Mode for ultimate control of the Dynamic EQ
- Many creative as well as corrective uses
- Presets giving good starting points

Davon House ---> Ricardo Colclough?
Davon House is listed on many people lists as possible players for the Steelers to draft in the second round. I'm all for small school picks but not mostly 2nd round picks. They are all boom or bust kind of guys. Davon House looks good on film, but so did Ricardo Colclough some things just don't translate very well. I'd be fine with this pick if it were later in the draft in the fourth round or later, but that won't happen. If it were a pick in the later rounds a small school guy I'd definitely pick someone like Buster Skrine from Tennessee Chattanooga. Opinions?:noidea:
Re: Davon House ---> Ricardo Colclough?
Here's Buster Skrine's highlight video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2jksB_vrsM

http://www.nfl.com/news/around-the-w...&id=1086958060 |
Re: Davon House ---> Ricardo Colclough?
Yeah I'm not for House in the second, there should be (IMO) better options for the secondary at that point in the draft. I'd rather have a guy like Rashad Carmichael or Brandon Burton who have proven themselves at the college level against better talent.
Re: Davon House ---> Ricardo Colclough?
Absolutely, Carmichael and Dowling both hit like mack trucks and seem to be able to cover as well. Save the small school project guys for round 4 and later.

Breakfast Topic: Do you like PvP? {WoW}
Apr 4th 2012 10:04AM WoW offers me many joys during my gameplay, but let me cite three situations that exemplify some of the best experiences you can have.
Downing Madness for the first time: It's a grueling 15 minute fight that stresses your dps, heals, tanks, and attention span. I am of the opinion that the fight is a little light on mechanics and and long on time - but it definitely wasn't on difficult the first time my guild cleared it. Our first kill we had several die in the last push on the last platform, and getting through by the skin of our teeth for our first kill was a joyous occasion we got to celebrate as a group.
Finding a rare spawn/drop and completing a grind: I group these together because hunting a rare item or mob is its own grind. Hunters know this joy when they find Loque or Skoll. I recently camped Jadefang and got my Tiny Shale Spider. There's nothing quite like the pure RUSH you get when you see THAT ITEM/MOB you've been hunting for.
Being a force in PvP: You will never feel as powerful in this game as you will feel when you are able to charge into a contested PvP objective and turn the tide of a fight. Holding your own in a tense scrap while using your entire arsenal of abilities is exhilarating in a way that nothing else in the game is.
One thing I would remind PvE folks who, like me, were put off by the steep climb up the Resil ladder - You can convert 1000 valor a week into conquest, and unlimited justice to honor (at 375:250). You don't have to start from 0 resil (and, in my opinion, definitely shouldn't) - the 377 crafted PvP gear is a great starting point, and with some Valor/Justice conversions you can easily be around 3000 resil before you ever step into the shark tank.
And I can't encourage you to do it enough. It's tons of fun, hugely challenging, very rewarding, and utterly addicting. And the gear looks awesome.
Of monks, mains, and the ability to change {WoW}
Apr 2nd 2012 5:27PM The psychology of a "main" neve ceases to be a fascinating topic.
You can't even pin down a definition of it, it's a combination of any number of factors that changes with every player.
My main is a lot of things; he was my first character to 85, is my only character to raid, my highest-geared (pve) character. He has far and away the most playtime. And yet that doesn't quite do it justice. He's my MAIN character.
If my roster of alts were an army, he would command them. He holds the lion's share of the gold. His achievements are the ones that matter. He is the pet and mount collector - I take pride in getting each of the rest my characters a pet and mount that "fits" them, while my main pursues Mountain O' Mounts and Littlest Pet Shop.
Class and Race factor into it too. His identity - a draenei shaman - has become my WoW identity. If I were a roleplayer and RP'ed all my alts, his would be the personality I'd most identify with (unlike my human mage, who is an incorrigible braggart who likes showing off his abs - http://ow.ly/a2hY4 )
Interestingly enough, gameplay is among the least of factors that I think make my main my main. I love playing shaman, and it IS my favorite class - but I like playing just about every class.
Anne seems to be taking the idea of a main from more of the perspective of a "one character" player. This is rather fundamentally different than what I, as an altoholic, think about. The choice of "who is my main" is more of a practical decision for Anne, who does she spend her (potentially limited) playtime on.
If I fall in love with Monk I'll play my fat pandaren as much as I please - but I can't picture ever taking the ambiguous title of "main" from my shaman.
Know Your Lore: The curious dissonance of Alliance leveling {WoW}
Apr 2nd 2012 11:12AM Ok look. We, the stoic and thoroughly enviable Draenei sided with you Alliance guys for a few simple reasons.
1. We crashed right beside the Night Elves. Didn't seem like a good idea to disagree with them politically while we were asking for their AAA card.
2. You told us we could kill Orcs. We're not big fans of orcs. Something about them wiping out most of our people. And while I can't put my finger on why exactly, looking at Blood Elves' smirking faces makes us want to put a hoof in their chest.
3. You paid us handsomely for our shamanistic services, with a bonus for teaching the drunkards how to do it. Crystal Engine repairs are expensive.
4. You looked like you needed help in arm-wrestling competitions. And impromptu dance-offs http://ow.ly/a1D7h
So plot your plots and play your little games, Alliance and Horde. Because as soon as we get this last freaking crystal spark plug shipped to us, we're flying straight to Pandaria and getting this Third Faction pact rolling. Maybe we'll invite the goblins, they look like they know a good deal when they see it.
Mists of Pandaria enchants revealed {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 1:23PM Stats? What they DO? Get to the important stuff! Will they be a subtler, more appealing visual than Landslider and *retch* Power Torrent? Of course, if you give us the ability to mog enchants (or cut their visual off), it will be a moot point.
Windwalk is a good looking effect. Heartsong is a good looking effect. Mending is a good looking effect. Rune of the Fallen Crusader is a good effect. More of these.
Persona 3, Tactics Ogre, and other PSP RPGs that will live on my Vita {Joystiq}
Feb 23rd 2012 10:26AM My favorite game of all time is, and always will be, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber.
I haven't owned a portable gaming device since GameBoy Advanced, and I don't plan on starting again now - but I wholeheartedly encourage everyone who does to play Tactics Ogre.

Lichborne: Divining the direction of death knight lore in Pandaria {WoW}
Feb 14th 2012 3:21PM I would absolutely love to see more class-based lore and identity development. Sure, my main is a citizen of Azeroth. Sure, he's a member of the Alliance. He is also proud to be draenei. But above all, he is a SHAMAN.
What I would love is to see quest lines for every class - not little side quests every 30 levels, but big lore-heavy quest lines. A chance to familiarize players with the icons of their class, a chance to feel connected to other members of that class.
I know there are issues with this - Horde vs. Alliance of the same class (hard to promote shaman pride when half the shaman want to kill the other half), splitting lore into 10 lines, so on and so forth. Definitely something I'm going to put some more thought into.
Totem Talk: 5 ways to look like a bad restoration shaman {WoW}
Feb 14th 2012 3:00PM I write blogs as part of my job too, Joe. I know a "I don't have a good topic this week" post when I see one ;) It's ok - lot of this article theme has been going around the site last few weeks. Gotta write something, amirite?
Anyway, some of the other commenters have touched on this, and I think it would make a great topic (though RaidRx has probably already covered it) - raid buffs.
My core group is buff-rich, so we have to work to not overlap. Most everything I'd normally throw down - stoneskin, flametounge, healing stream glyphed with resistance - we have covered between our 2 pallies, enhance shammy, and mage. My only essential totem raid buff-wise is Wrath of Air (and Mana Stream). This leaves me free to throw down searing/flame ele for an extra little dps bump, earth elemental, and glyphed stoneclaw for an extra personal shield.
I'd love to see an aggregate post of all raid buffs and how they can be provided. I know what the buffs are, but I'm not sure I know all the ways to get them. Actually, this must already exist on the site somewhere. Off to find it.
Breakfast Topic: Where have you spotted any hidden homes? {WoW}
Feb 10th 2012 10:05AM I do like finding nice little hidden camps - but I also like taking stock of the towns I go through as I quest and thinking where might my current character like to make his home if he settled down.
My draenei shaman main will head to Telaar, where he will enter negotiations to buy the nearby Abandoned Armory from Nitrin the Learned and turn that into a lovely house.
My human mage, meanwhile, plans to had to the Allerian Stronghold in nearby Terokkar Forest, where he will work with Aeman Brightsong to open a decent bar (since he seems to be the only guy in the city with a good alcohol connection). It'll be a total chick magnet, because we'll have Fabian Lanzonelli http://www.wowwiki.com/Fabian_Lanzonelli hanging out in there every night. Plus, there will be pink elephants everywhere.
And, last but not least, my dwarf death knight will head to Voldrune where he will live amongst Torvald Eriksson and the vrykul. There he will sate his bloodlust by regularly wailing on the Venture Co goblins and, of course, getting in bare-knuckle scraps with local wolvar.
Potions, Portals, and Scrolls of Recall: How to get around Azeroth as quickly as possible {WoW}
Feb 9th 2012 2:02PM "So you gave up the best money-making profession for the worst.... because you wanted a robotic Butler and some occasionally working speed boosts?"
Sure did! Portable mailbox, bank, repair, a safe fall, *usually* working speed boosts ;) and the rest was worth more to me than whatever gold making potential inscription had.

4 series coupe
BMW showed off its new 4 Series coupe in concept form at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, but it won't be long before we see the production model, evidenced by this modestly camouflaged prototype spotted testing. In case you forgot, the 4 Series serves as the replacement for the ...
The spy shots you see above are not of a BMW 3 Series Coupe. Of course, that's just because the German automaker has apparently decided that coupes and convertibles deserve their own numerical distinction, one step higher than their sedan siblings. While we've seen the upcoming BMW 4 Series in ...
As we all look forward to the F30 2012 BMW 3 Series spawning its forthcoming coupe bodystyle as well as a new M3, today's treat is a bit of both. Our spy shooters caught this car testing in Europe, which is clearly an M version of the 3 Series coupe. The wheels and quad exhaust are a dead ...

PCMark Vantage - Drives with Data Testing
For a complete breakdown on the Drives with Data Testing please read this article. You will be able to perform this test at home with the files provided in the article - full instructions are included.
- Brief Methodology
SSDs perform differently when used for a period of time and when data is already present on the drive. The purpose of the Drives with Data testing is to show how a drive performs in these 'dirty' states. SSDs also need time to recover, either with TRIM or onboard garbage collection methods.
Drives with Data Testing - 25%, 50%, 75% Full States and Dirty / Empty Test
Files needed for 60 (64GB), 120 (128GB), 240 (256GB)
60GB Fill - 15GB, 30GB, 45GB
120GB Fill - 30GB, 60GB, 90GB
240GB Fill - 60GB, 120GB, 160GB
Empty but Dirty - a test run just after the fill tests and shows if a drive needs time to recover or if performance is instantly restored.
HDD1 - Windows Defender
HDD2 - Gaming
HDD3 - Windows Photo Gallery
HDD4 - Vista Startup
HDD5 - Windows Movie Maker
HDD6 - Windows Media Center
HDD7 - Windows Media Player
HDD8 - Application Loading
Now that TRIM is restored with 5.0.3 (or 5.0.4 if Corsair chooses to wait before going public with working TRIM), the Force GS recovers performance nicely when you delete data you no longer need.

I am particularly interested in understanding how "active learning" can be described differently in higher ed than in K12, how that learning activity has changed as digital technologies have become ubiquitous, and how the library's role has changed and can continue to change, in response.
I have the opportunity to explore those themes intensively with students, staff, and faculty members through the Digital Media Common's experimental learning spaces in the Duderstadt Center: Design Lab 1 and Design Lab 3.

First time poster
I've got about a dozen pear trees (maybe quince) on my property and they produce some of the most disgusting pears you can imagine. Primarily, they are overly tannic acidic. Even the deer don't eat them until the pears have frozen and thawed. I do have some great apple trees.
Any thoughts or ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Whether quince or pear there is a very good chance that they are amenable to grafts of nashi pear. Its very unlikely that you can successfully graft most varieties of apple onto them. The variety Winter Banana apple is compatible with some pears. You may be able to graft that and grow it for apples or use as an interstem for other apple varieties. I have some growing on my sister's pear tree and it produced an apple in the second leaf. That same european pear has Hosui grafts on it that have been doing great as well as several varieties of quince and european pear. |
Do let major scaffold branches of the rootstock tree remain- grafting to the trunk is probably doable but not a first choice. It's always nice to graft to a rootstock of similar caliper to that of the scion, especially when doing whip and tongue or whip, and even with cleft grafting, although you surely can graft well to considerably larger stock. Cutting the trees off altogether may kill them or may result in a number of shoots- it would be possible to graft to the shoots, but it would be years before you got any fruit this way. I would leave a fair amount of the original tree to keep the tree fed. Each year you could work over say, one third of the tree. If you thin the tree considerably and then graft to pencil-to-thumb sized branches, and keep the grafts close to the point that the branch is attatched, you should get good growth right away and maybe a bloom the second year (although it might be wiser to prevent it fruiting too young). Those are just my thoughts on the subject- and subject to correction and other's observations, of course. |
- Posted by the_cedar_lawn_house (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 21:04
Thanks for the ideas. Is there a setting on these forums that would email me when someone replies to my post? I haven't personally grafted before and as it turns out there is a Cornell Cooperative Extension class on tree grafting that is coming up soon and close by as well. I expect to get a lot of info there. |
I can't get the setting to send me those emails, but there is a link at the bottome of this page that is supposed to do what you want. I hope you have fun grafting. It's pretty neat, I think. :-)M |
The Asian Pear does not do well on Euro root. The grafts will 'take' but they will not grow very much and it severely dwarfs the asian scion. Quince can be rooted from cuttings. Asian Pear needs a special rootstock to do well. |
- Posted by sergio_loddi none (My Page) on Wed, Nov 14, 12 at 13:13
can I be so rude and ask where do you scions fro asian pears ??? sergio |
Many pears aren't compatible with quince rootstock, so be careful even of which Euro pears you graft on. Scions from Asian pears or other fruit come from a local fruit club, like Home Orchard Society in Oregon, Seattle Fruit Society,or many in California . You can probably buy them online. Google Asian pear scions. There are also online exchanges. |

If I have spa booster pump that also doubles as a waterfall pump with 2JVAs, does it switch the JVAs every 15 minutes like it does when spa is freeze protected if we check the default mode its set in? Does that mean that any JVA switches every 15 minutes that is checked? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Any resolution? This inquiring mind wants to know, Scott |
It took awhile but here is the answer. Spa is the only function that switches the valves back and forth on the timed basis. I also inquired about the approximate number of times the JVA motor and valve could move before they reached a failing point but they didn't have an answer other than to say that it was a very infrequent failure. |
So if you wired the spa-booster/waterfall pump as the primary pool and spa combo's pump and the pool's pump as a water feature pump, wouldn't that meet your needs? Scott |

AbstractRecalling the UNESCO's work towards the protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), in particular the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage adopted in 2003, I took this opportunity to reflect upon the implications that this recognition brings to museums. The overwhelming success of this document has raised the importance of ICH at international level, motivating a growing number of initiatives towards its safeguard. The International Council of Museums (ICOM) recognises a central role for museums regarding ICH. This article reflects upon the possibilities that museums have to answer the changeling 2003 Convention, recognizing that it's possible through museum activities to find ways to study and give visibility to ICH.

Clegg could have held his head high and said that he contributed to a leaner fairer commons. Instead narrow party interest trumped all.
Clegg's supporters largely support proportional representation, and telling them "this bill would be fairer than the status quo" is like telling them "Spain has a stronger economy than Portugal". It doesn't matter much to them either way.
Hardly. The Liberal Democrats have been pushing reforms that would make government more democratic and accountable - such as proportional voting or AV.
Indeed, if the Conservatives had conceded AV (which would have helped them against UKIP and other extremists), then the Lib Dems would happily have supported redistricting & other changes.
What comes out again and again in the Tory position (from electoral reform to Europe to replacement of Trident to human rights), is hardline insistence on whatever the gutter press are saying at the moment positions are formed, complete failure to engage diplomatically with other parties, failure to engage with empirical evidence or expert opinion, failure to compromise and complete failure to appreciate longer run implications of today's policy.
Which is sad. How exactly did Labour (or the Lib Dems if you consider them politically significant) become the party of business? Why does the Tory party pander to ultra-right crazies?
The Conservatives could have held their heads high and said that they contributed to the creation of a modern sophisticated democracy, with both chambers fully elected by a 21st century voting system. Instead narrow party interest trumped all. The ramblings of the idiot dinosaurs on the Conservative back-benches are, as ever, to be disregarded. Expecting the LDs to put a gun to their own heads when all of these promised (and desperately-required) reforms were ditched on Tory say-so is a bit much, no?
It is sad. On a variety of issues, including but not limited to social issues, constitutional issues, and especially the European question, the Tory back-benchers are coming to resemble the worst aspects of the Republican Party. And British democracy is not dynamic enough to protect us against such a development. The Tories are going to need to grow up before they throw some seriously important babies out with the bathwater.
On every issue, as soon as right-wing politicians show the the slightest signs of being, well, right-wing, out comes the left-wing abuse. Give it up. Nobody's impressed any more.
On the particular issue at hand, Blighty is much too kind to the Lib Dems. They agreed constituency reform in return for a referendum on AV. They got their referendum. They then reneged.
The Conservatives agreed reform of the House of Lords and reneged. You reap what you sow.
Not really. I consider myself pretty "right wing" on most economic issues. I want fiscal prudence; I want a smaller state; I want less bureaucracy; I want a far greater emphasis on efficiency and competence.
Where the Tory party deserve criticism is in their far-right pandering (which is something entirely different from small state, libertarian or any other variant of centrist politics). When the Conservative party sinks into reactionary politics, jumping at the behest of the gutter press, attacking the wrong types of immigration to win "anti-immigrant" popular appeal, starting fights with European partner governments to win "anti-European" popular appeal, and giving up on planning reform to win appeal among NIMBYists, then mainstream pragmatic people have nothing left but to condemn this government.
The Tory party, while it has many good cabinet ministers and has given us a good Prime Minister, is far too prone to irrational & extremist contortions. This has rendered our government too weak to act in the national interest. And all signs seems to suggest that the Conservatives are degenerating further. How can pro-business or freedom loving people vote for such a party in the next election? Why do they pander to the extreme right?
Am Reading "the plan" by Dan Hannan at the moment. A little out of date I concede but this is what I'm really after.
can you read the whole book on google?

Brought to you by Shu Takumi, the original creator of Capcom's Ace Attorney series, Ghost Trick Phantom Detective tells an intriguing story combining logic puzzles and elements of humour that those familiar with the Ace Attorney games will know and love. Gamers will be entertained for hours with over a dozen chapters full of mystery and surprise as the spirit world collides with real life.
In Ghost Trick Phantom Detective, players are transported into the spirit world of Sissel, a murder victim who has lost his memory and returned as a ghost to solve the mystery of his suspicious demise. As Sissel's ghost it's up to players to possess and manipulate items found in the real world to solve the captivating puzzles he encounters.
Using the stylus players will need to carefully choose the path for Sissel to travel, possessing objects in order to trigger the correct item that when manipulated will alter the fate of others and begin to unravel the strange truth about who Sissel is and why he was murdered. How will you scare off the unwary assassin? There are many routes to choose from but not all of them will be obvious. It's over to you to solve the crime but be warned, Sissel only has until dawn before he has to leave the supernatural world for good. Will you discover the truth before his time runs out?

It is well known that the solution to the Einstein Field Equation, g μν, can be either interpreted as the metric tensor itself or the mere gravitational field, their geochronometric correspondence being assured by the Equivalence Principle (e.g. Brown 2005). Within the field interpretation, which allows emphasis on physical effects of gravitation on microphysical constituents of matter, we expose gravitational Lorentz‐Poincaré type properties of the relativistic gravitational matter Lagrangian. The Weierstrass parametrization (Johns 2005) of the matter Lagrangian LM in the explicit Lorentz‐Poincaré type gravitation model is shown to render it equal to the standard matter Lagrangian —which can be reduced to the proper time invariant (g μν dx μ / dλdx ν / dλ)1/2 for the geodesic motion (Stephani 2004)— in GRT. As such the GRT matter Lagrangian can be interpreted to result —following a Legendre transformation— from the energy of the matter fields obtained from Gravitationally Modified Lorentz Transformations (Broekaert 2005).
The resultant correspondence between matter Lagrangians exposes explicitly the Lorentz‐Poincaré type features such as (coordinate) spatially‐variable speed of light, c(r) = c′Φ2, partial Machian mass induction and gravitational affecting of space and time observations in local coordinates in GRT. These features are only apparent relative to the coordinative manifold, while locally and in physical coordinates the effects all vanish in concordance with the local Minkowski metric.

Career Change Brings Alumna Back to School
Deborah Oakes, '98, loves art; but when she first attended Averett, the thought of a stable career won out so she majored in biology and minored in art.
"I have been fortunate that science opened doors to me as a sleep disorders technologist, which has enabled me to provide for myself over the past decade," Oakes said. "Sometimes, something happens to cause one to return to their first love. I had a change in my health that may threaten my ability to work third shifts. I felt traumatized and lost facing my health challenge, so I thought I would concentrate my efforts into returning to my first love - art.
"I love art, making it, learning it and sharing it with others so much that I thought it would be natural for me to teach it. I know I did not have to choose Averett for my master's degree; but I love the encouragement, the personalization and the quality academics available. Averett has excellent art professors that had seen some artistic promise in me and actually spoke to me about an art major in 1996. I was impressed that they took that much interest in me, and I never forgot that.
"Since entering the classroom, I have found a love for teaching that was probably always within me. When I see children excited about what they have learned through art and what they have created, I know in some way, I have added a positive moment to their lives."
During the month of October, Oakes is displaying her art work in Jut's Café. Her art show will include pieces from her first four years at the University along with pieces she has produced recently, like earthenware masks and jewelry and enameling.
Oakes likes working with a variety of mediums, claiming she doesn't have a favorite because she "loves any medium" that allows her to have freedom and be creative. When it comes to two-dimensional art she has a love for oil painting.
"I love the melted butter type of consistency, the smell of it, the richness of the colors and the durability of the colors that are achieved with oil paintings."
In three-dimensional art such as pottery and sculpture, she loves clay.
"I like to see what I can make it into and push the boundaries of what I can do without it cracking or bursting. I loved the craft of jewelry making with all metals but found a love for cutting designs in silver. It is like making jewelry out of moonbeams."
While the art pieces in Oakes' show portray her love of working in different mediums, there is one piece she has on display that is her favorite.
"All of the pieces have a special significance to me and all have required a lot of time to make them. But I would have to say 'The Prophet Ezekiel' - my version of the one in the Sistine Chapel - is my favorite. I had always marveled at Michelangelo's effort in painting the ceiling while on his back for three years and creating it gave me a little piece of the ceiling to hang in my home."
Oakes hopes to graduate in May of 2012, and then plans to find a position as an art teacher. She's even contemplating pursuing a master of fine arts degree before working her way into teaching at the college level. And of course, she wants to "make more art to share with others as well."
Some of Oakes' artwork is for sale -- ranging from $20-$350. She encourages viewers of her work to send her an e-mail (email@example.com) letting her know what they think about her artwork, what they like best and why. "I love to get feedback."

[1517] Flow Cytometric Assessment of CD200 (OX-2 Membrane Glycoprotein) Expression in B Cell Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Vinodh Pillai, Olga Pozdnyakova, Karry Charest, Betty Li, David M Dorfman. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA
Background: CD200 (OX-2 antigen), a type I Ig superfamily membrane glycoprotein expressed in B cells, a subset of T cells, and other cell types, interacts with CD200R, an inhibitory receptor expressed on myeloid/monocyte lineage cells, and has a suppressive effect on T cell mediated immune response, including suppression of the anti-tumor immune response when CD200 is expressed by neoplastic cells. CD200 is expressed by neoplastic cells in multiple myeloma, AML, and in a number of carcinomas and other neoplasms. CD200 was found to be expressed in CLL/SLL and hairy cell leukemia. Recently we found by immunohistochemical staining that CD200 is expressed in a number of additional B cell neoplasms.
Design: We studied the expression of CD200 in 121 recent specimens from a range of B cell lymphoproliferative disorders, to determine its utility as a flow cytometric marker for the characterization of these diseases. Six-color flow cytometric immunophenotypic analysis was performed using a FACSCanto II flow cytometer, with concurrent assessment of CD19, CD20, CD5, CD10, CD23, and other markers using FACSDiva software.
Results: For B cell lymphoproliferative disorders in which at least 10 clinical cases were available for flow cytometric analysis, we found three distinct patterns of CD200 expression: (1) strong to dim positive CD200 expression by neoplastic cells in CLL/SLL (16/16 cases) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (30/32); (2) variable CD200 expression [positive (5/18), dim positive (5/18), negative (8/18)] in marginal zone lymphoma, including MALT lymphoma; (3) negative to dim positive CD200 expression in mantle cell lymphoma (11/11) and follicular lymphoma (28/29). Fifteen cases of various other B cell lymphoproliferative disorders were studied for CD200 expression. The findings were similar to those observed in our prior immunohistochemical analysis, except for cases of marginal zone lymphoma, which were previously found to be uniformly negative for CD200 expression.
Conclusions: CD200 is expressed in a number of B cell lymphoproliferative disorders, can be assessed by flow cytometric as well as immunohistochemical analysis, and may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of a number of these neoplasms. CD200-positive B cell-derived neoplasms may have a survival advantage conferred by CD200 expression, so CD200 expression may have prognostic significance. A CD200 antibody-derived immunotherapeutic agent in clinical trial to treat CLL/SLL and multiple myeloma may be of potential utility for the treatment of other CD200-positive B cell lymphoproliferative disorders.

Health Care Issues
The NAFC is dedicated to educating the public, the press, Congress, Federal and state agencies, pharmaceutical companies and other corporations about Free and Charitable Clinics and the important service they provide to America's un- and under-insured.
The NAFC monitors proposed rules and regulations, legislation and other important issues to keep a finger on the pulse of the issues that may be important to Free and Charitable Clinics and their patients.
Please find some issues that are of interest to Free and Charitable Clinics:
- NAFC Legislative Priorities
The National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics believes that when discussing health care access and reform it is necessary for Congress to take into account the following overarching points. Without addressing these points in their entirety, it is the position of the NAFC that more work will need to be done on any health care reform efforts.
- Access to Affordable Health Care should be a right and not a privilege.
- In the interest of public health, all individuals should have access to affordable quality health care.
- Affordability, accessibility and portability of health care are issues that remain critical to the uninsured in this country.
- Free and Charitable Clinic Health Care Reform Talking Points - This document points out how are clinics and patients fit in with and are affected by the ACA.
- Comparison of Free Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers
This detailed chart shows the comparison of Free and Charitable Clinics and federally funded clinics, information that is often confused and unknown. READ MORE

Charitable Deduction - SENATE
The Senate Finance Committee is looking to reform the Nation's Tax Code. Chairman Max Baucus(D-MT) and Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-UT) have informed each Senator of their intention to pursue tax reform beginning with a "blank slate" and asking them to justify adding back in any deductions, credits, and preferences based on three criteria: that they (1) help grow the economy, (2) make the tax code fairer, or (3) effectively promote other important policy objectives, as well as to submit any other ideas they may have regarding a tax code overhaul.
One deduction that is on the table for consideration to be cut or limited is the Charitable Deduction. Eliminating the deduction may have a dramatic impact on your clinic's budget, as some people may decide to not donate or donate less without this deduction.
It is critical that you take a moment and write a letter to your Senate members explaining that losing this deduction would negatively impact the work at your clinic and the work of non-profits around the country. The NAFC has drafted a letter on this topic for you to place on your letterhead, sign and send to your elected officials. Please note in addition to discussing the impact of limiting/eliminating the charitable deduction will have on your clinic, it also includes language that reflects how this limitation will hurt non-profits as a whole. Staff feels very strongly that it is critical to identify ourselves as strong members of the non-profit sector by joining our voices with others in this arena.
This issue is of CRITICAL IMPORTANCE to the non-profit community as a whole and as a large part of the safety net community, the NAFC is asking that you act RIGHT AWAY.
WRITE AN EMAIL or FAX A LETTER
The fastest way to get information to your Senators is to either send an email or fax a letter to them. The NAFC has drafted a sample email/letter on this for you to place on your letterhead, sign and send to your Member.
To download a copy of the letter, please CLICK HERE
To find a web form to email, along with fax number and mailing address for your Senator please visit: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
**If you would like to email or use the web form and there is not the ability to add the letter on your letterhead, please copy and paste the body of the letter into a comment box with your contact information.
When you have sent your message please update the NAFC offices via email at email@example.com.
Charitable Deduction - HOUSE
In December 2012, when members of Congress and the President were discussing ways to avoid the "fiscal cliff," one idea that was on the table was to limit or do away with the Charitable Deduction tax credit that people receive when donating to a non-profit. Eliminating the deduction would have a dramatic impact on the budgets of Free and Charitable Clinics, as some people may decide to not donate or donate less without this deduction.
The NAFC urged our members to write a letter to their House and Senate members as well as to the White House explaining that losing the deduction would negatively impact the work at their clinic and the work of non-profits around the country. The NAFC drafted a letter on this topic for clinics to place on their letterhead, sign and send to elected officials. In addition to discussing the impact that limiting/eliminating the charitable deduction would have on clinics, the letter also included language that reflects how the limitation would hurt non-profits as a whole. Staff feels very strongly that it is critical to identify ourselves as strong members of the non profit sector by joining our voices with others in this arena.

The NAFC Executive Director Nicole Lamoureux Busby was invited to testify before the House Committee on Ways and Means for a hearing on tax reform and charitable contributions on February 14, 2013.

Warren Buffet would also be a good choice.
Me...I should run it. I should take over the entire company. Oh the things I would do...
I cant remeber if i posted here or not.... the job should go to someone who can get the Dream back and follow a set plan and make the Company smaller. someone who can see the future while preserving the past and remember that it was all started by a mouse. Someone that is not afraid to ask during an interview what the intervewee knows about the Disney Dream and isn't afraid to preserve the dream....thats who should get the job....AND maybe even ask AP and PAP and SP holders wo tey think...We are willing to spend the money to go somewhere that a man 50 years ago dreamt of therefore we shold have a say in this...
That would be me! (Or any other member of this site!)Originally Posted by Summer Sun
I have to go with myself on this one... Lou can be my assistant...
Just let me run Star Wars Weekend and Star Tours all year round. For obiovious reasons
Lou I haven't met you or spoke to you on the site yet but I think you should be CEO just from the way you are handling this website and other site members should have other jobs in the parks. I think we would all make Disney a place were everybody would want to go including the non-disney lovers (are there really crazy people out there that would not love DISNEY )

While I do think that many of the people from this site would be the best at running Disney, I have always wondered why it is not still in the family. There is a save disney web site run by Roy Disney(Walts nephew). Why isn't he running the company. Does anybody know?
I have no problems being the #2 guy but...
JediPrincess... thanks for the vote of confidence I really do appreciate the support! You always have a job with me (plus the whoel Star Wars and Jersey thing going for you.. you rate quite high with me)

I think it has to do with the (guess what political party?) billionaire oilmen the Bass brothers of Texas (bought 25% of Disney stock in 1984 when the company was in dire straits and then made their boy Mikey Eisner CEO. Their friends in Congress passed the telecommunications bill that lead/greased the way to the merger of Disney and Capital Cities/ABC). They still own billions of dollars of Disney stock.Originally Posted by sx2143
Whenever a company decides to go public it is subject to takeover and/or being sold if a majority of the stockholders thinks it is best for the company (and their wallets). Of course, this can be avoided if a company decides to stay private a la the Mars Candy company. Uncle Roy and the rest of the Disney family owns billions of $$$ of Disney stock, but do not own a majority of it. That fact was one of the bones of contention in the battle between Uncle Roy and Mikey Eisner in that Mikey did not grow the stock value for many years and as a result the Disney family lost millions and millions of dollars in stock value. However, the company has turned around and all the millions lost have been recouped many times over. The fight now is about the direction The Disney Co. should go, and not about money per se.

I seriously think I'd do quite well with the company, short-term anyway. I wouldn't be totally partial to the endless 'What would Walt have done?'. Some decisions have to be made, some attractions have to be closed/changed. But I would do it with reference to what guests and consumers were saying. The difference is I wouldn't be totally heartless like a certain someone
Only a few months to go! But then again, Bob Iger aint all that promising....

Thank you Jiminy cricket,
I had a feeling that was what happened but I was never sure. I am a Mary Kay beauty consultant and something simular happend in the eighties to our company. However, Mary Kay saw problems arrising and bought back all of the shares. I wish the same thing could happen with the Disney family. I think things would be much better if they were running the company again.
As for me, I think I would be good running Disney, but I really would rather play one of the characters at the parks.

text: The yoga instructor here was fantastic (we didn't go to a retreat but went to a timetabled class). We went to a level 1/2 class because the beginner classes were full at the instructors recommendation and werent disappointed. The instructor, Jess, was a perfect guide in creating a yoga program/spiritual experience and helping were improvements could be made.
