I just made this totem for one of my sisters, she loves those colors and I made it a bird bath because she has a beautiful courtyard garden at her home in Louisiana, it has a fountain and a lovely Koi pond, but no bird bath so now she has one.
I bought the top bowl piece, I couldn't resist it even though it was much more than I would normally pay. It is hard decorated by artisans in Tuscany, Italy. The glittering effects are awesome. I will be making a completely different one for the other sister. |

Beautiful! Too pretty to put outside, maybe inside with some artificial water and birds? |

I love that top bowl! That is striking. |
That bowl is beautiful |
Beautiful...you inspire me :o) |
Wow! That's beautiful, Raven. Would it be too sparkly for the birds? Will it deter them from drinking out of it I wonder. |

That is just too pretty. She should love it. The color is great! |
Great job! Love the whole piece. Lucky sister. |
It's all so pretty--I really like the bottom section. Did you put the "jewels" on or did it come that way? She will be thrilled with it. |
raven on the top piece did it have any caution about useage? sometimes the awesome color change is caused by lead...and can leach into food and i presume water? even if it's for decoration only, once again you've created a lovely piece... i'm c/p and sending this to my stained glass pal... |
Very pretty. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Thu, Aug 16, 12 at 20:57
All of the painting and decoration are from the outside so only glass on inside and it is food safe. I wouldn't think the sparkling will bother the birds since water itself can be quite reflective and sparkly. I think she will be happy. I did add the jewels, I found some that have streaks of the orange color through them, like the old cat eye marbles. |
Here's a question I ask out of ignorance...is that GORGEOUS bowl safe for edibles (or drinking water for birds)? Doesn't some glassware leach toxins and can't be used for food? |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Fri, Aug 17, 12 at 0:05
As I said it is labeled food safe there's no decoration or paint on the inside of the bowl it's all on the outside and viewable through the clear glass of the inside. Inside is strictly regular glass. |
Awesome, she will love it. |
raven had posted it to show a pal who's into stained glass and this is what she posted, lol maybe you should go into business??not quite sure where yellow springs is..she lives in cinci oh, but has gone on that 600 mile yard sale, too...of course she loved yours... "Saw some In yellow springs. Larger pieces were big bucks! As in $1000 's". |

wow I have never sold any I have given all of mine away. I have some I kept for myself also. I have a lot of glass to make more I just got busy there for a while and quit. I will be making one for my other sister and a small one for my mother that will have a vase on top so I can give it to her for her 90th birthday on Aug 24 with her fave roses in it. then one for my mother in law who turns 90 on Sept 21! I already made one for my friend and neighbor who will turn 90 on Sept 1st. that is a lot of 90 yr olds lol. I hope they keep on keeping on for many more years too. I need to sell a few to keep me in glass to feed my habit now! |
Really very beautiful! You did a great job on it. |
Sounds like you might have a fairly lucrative "cottage industry" going, if you want it to, Raven. :-D |
very nice Raven. That bowl is gorgeous! Your sister will love it! |
Holy cow, I LOVE it! I adore the sparkles. |
VERY pretty! |

NEW YORK (AP) - Apple says it received between 4,000 and 5,000 requests from U.S. law enforcement for customer data between Dec. 1, 2012 and May 31.
The company, like some other businesses, had asked the U.S government to be able to share how many requests it received related to national security and how it handled them.
Apple Inc. said that between 9,000 and 10,000 accounts or devices were specified in those requests, which came from federal, state and local authorities and included both criminal investigations and national security matters.
The company also made clear how much access the government has.
Apple says in a statement on its website that "We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer content must get a court order."

Tuesday, the boys play at Hollidaysburg. Air time is 7:15. Art Taneyhill and Charlie Weston broadcast.
Wednesday night, we'll be at the Field House for the Lady Lions' home opener. They've got the Hollidaysburg Lady Tigers. Hollidaysburg beat BG to win the championship of their tournament over the weekend. Altoona battled Mt. Lebanon but fell short on Friday before destroying McDowell in the consy game of the North Allegheny tournament. Air time is 7:15.
The Jamie Dixon Show will be on WFBG on Thursday. Air time is 6:00.
The Mountain Lions come back home to take on Allegany of Cumberland, MD on Friday. Again it's Art and Charlie, air time is 7:15.
Both Altoona teams travel to Shaler on Saturday. The girls play at 2, they boys at 3:30. Shaler's boys team may be the best in the WPIAL, led by Penn State recruit, Geno Thorpe. Rich DeLeo will join Charlie for that double header. At 6:30, Pitt plays host to Bethune Cookman. Bill Hillgrove, Dick Groat and Curtis Aiken broadcast.

Et tu, Kendrick?
This is actually quite a lot better than I expected. Cautiously optimistic about the album now.
Living proof, that sometimes friends are mean.
No idea why, but I would just ignore Ian Cohen. He's less a music critic and more of a hatchet man for when they want to take an artist down a peg. Case in point, his review of the new Villagers album, where he accused Conor O'Brien of trying to assert authenticity by dint of an Irish accent, as opposed to simply singing in the accent you'd expect from someone from North Dublin
I suppose this was likely to happen eventually. For what it's worth, I think Haze is the better rapper, and she's been on a streak for a while now.
I'd probably call best verse for Danny Brown going by how unhinged he gets near the end, even by his standards. But this is just fucking incredible. Nary a dull verse.
Find myself agreeing with every call here (Call Me Maybe still rules) and the order too, more-or-less. Good work guys. And hon the 'droids.
I'm a pretty awful sight-reader, but Beck's one of my musical heros and as a ukuelist I appreciate how accomodating the whole thing is, so I'd be glad to take a punt on this.
Frank Ocean- channel ORANGE
I'd like if new material were to surface, but I don't know if CanOx sans El-P will be worth hearing. Can't even imagine Vast and Vordul without El's beats underneath. Different story for someone like Aesop, who sorta did his own thing, beats-wise. Still, I'll take this news.

More Meter Talk
I am responding to the "Glucose Meter Debate" in the October issue of DIABETES HEALTH.
Last weekend I attended a diabetes seminar at the San Diego Convention Center. There was a large exhibit room displaying just about every type of diabetes paraphernalia you could imagine. At one of the exhibits, you could test your glucose meter's reading against the exhibitor's equipment. It was a relief for me to be able to do this because I have always wondered how accurate my meter is. From reading your article, this seems to be a concern of a lot of diabetics.
I have been using a One Touch II meter for 14 months now and my meter was off by only 3. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what sort of equipment the exhibitors were using. Can you help me?

Loran Controversy Continues
The following are part of a continuing discussion about Loran Medical Systems' $20,000 experimental trials involving fetal pancreatic tissue injections, reported in our October '95 issue.
Congratulations on a thorough and well researched piece about Loran Medical Systems.
This reminds me of the 'go to Mexico to get your cancer cured' concept. The message is the same: "For money, I'll solve your problem."
I have yet to see any unbiased studies of Mexican cancer treatment programs-only anecdotal stories, all positive of course. The same appears to be the case with this treatment.
One detail not mentioned: Where are the islets transplanted? Most methods I have heard about seem to place the islets (encapsulated) under the skin.
David Lytle
I'm one of the patients from the Sansum fetal islet cell transplants of August, 1993, and I can tell you that I experienced no change at all. I support Dr. Peterson and what he's trying to do, but there's no proof that the procedure really works. It simply isn't true that every single person involved in the trials experienced a 15% reduction in their insulin dosage. I didn't experience any reduction. I am making a very, very small amount of C Peptides, which I wasn't before the trial, but it's not enough to make any change in my insulin requirement.
I know that some of the other people involved in the Sansum trial experienced huge insulin requirement reductions right after the procedure but were right back to their original levels after a few months. When I participated in the trials, we were led to believe that the procedure was a potential cure. The doctors are currently more conservative in their claims.
Please contact me if you'd like any more information. $5,000 for the Sansum trials was one thing, but the $20,000 Loran is asking for this procedure is a total rip-off!
Control and Complications
(The following posting was in response to "Diabetic Complications from the Patient's Point of View" by Joan Hoover, published in our March 1995 issue. The article takes issue with the idea that it is possible to avoid diabetic complications by simply keeping normal blood glucose levels. Hoover argues that constant euglycemia is not an achievable goal for people with diabetes because uncontrollable physical and emotional stresses will invariably upset normal BGs no matter how conscientiously control is attempted. She points out that health professionals who don't undertand this often "blame the victim" for complications).
I fully agree with Joan Hoover, but would like to add a remark or two.
First, "constant euglycemia" or in plain English, "well-controlled BGs", in no way implies you do not get complications. Take my case: I tightly control my BGs (mean generally below 100 and HbA1c between 6.5 and 6.7) but suffer nevertheless from neuropathy of the lower part of the body. My doctor claimed that it would recede after I was put on insulin. That did not happen. So he said he thought I was 10 years younger! Of course he has all my data, certainly my age (I am 59), in my file.
Second, it is absolutely unbelievable how the medical profession will "blame the victim" for their inadequacy to prevent complications. I am told that in traditional Chinese medicine you pay your practitioner a certain amount of money yearly with the explicit proviso that he keep you healthy. If he failed he was paid nothing at all. This is an idea we could and should adopt.
Michel Eytan
The Chinese practitioner is a great idea, but what of the type I patient who lackadaisically takes care of himself? Would the practitioner have to show up for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime to check glucose and administer insulin? He would also have to be the person's personal physical fitness trainer. Not cheap. Just a thought. Some of us probably wouldn't mind this healthcare concept except for the price.
Scott Rassmussen
In response to Michel's statement that "it is absolutely unbelievable how the medical profession blames the victim for its inadequacy to prevent complications"-as a type 1, I must take issue with his statement.
Most diabetics I have talked with are lax about how they care for themselves. Most feel that any BG under 200 is a good one. When asked what books and publications they have read, the response is always the same-"none." Fortunately, there are some of us pancreatically-challenged who give a damn about educating ourselves about this killer disease.
The advances in the last 15 years are incredible. Look at the meters, pumps, and insulins recently made available to us. These will no doubt extend quality years to those of us who choose to take advantage of them. The unfortunate sufferers of diabetic complications did not have these tools (or now choose to not use them). Is this to be blamed on the doctor?
I look at doctors as being more like "guidance counselors." They cannot be with us 24 hours a day, feeding us and forcing good habits on us...that's our job! Self control and responsibility for our own actions are learned behaviors. Having pity parties and blaming the healthcare folks is just plain dumb. If you don't think you have a doctor who's giving you good treatment, move on, just as I have done. The doctors did not give us this disease, they're just trying to help us help ourselves.
Charcot Foot
I have been a diabetic for 25 years. Other than neuropathy, I'm doing pretty well. My A1Cs are usually 7 to 7.5. I've had 3 surgeries on my left foot, each one more serious but none of them horrible or terrible.
I recently found out that I have Charcot Foot. My first metatarsal slipped out of joint. I walked on it for a month without knowing it and now I'm on crutches. Since I'm under 40 years old and in relatively good health otherwise, my doctor is recommending doing a surgery where he will fuse the joint.
I'm going for a second and third opinion even though I do have a lot of confidence in my doctor. I would like to learn from anyone else's experience in this area.
John Sunderman
No Beef
I share the sadness over the no beef U issue. Back in 1980, a "radical" endo put me on beef U and regular for my busy lifestyle. That one act radically changed my perception about my diabetes (diagnosed in 1963). I was now in control instead of the insulin. My life truly changed. Even my husband, who left much of my diabetes management up to me, noticed a change in me. So, for 15 years things have been great.
I had my second child with the beef U and regular program, and every time I asked my doctor if I should try the pump, he replied, "It ain't broke, so don't try to fix it!"
Since I work for a diabetes supply company, I rounded up all the beef U I could find when the word broke. (I hoarded 6 bottles, that's all!) I have 2 left. I drain the bottles dry. The expiration date has passed, but it's still OK. I'm not excited about changing my regimen after 15 years, but I guess I'll have to. It's tough to teach an old dog like me new tricks. Have any of your readers seen a change in switching? I look forward to your comments.
Where's The New Insulin?
A few months (or more) ago, you wrote about two new products that should have been on the market by now. They were a long acting insulin (like Ultralente, only better) and a quick-acting insulin which worked within two or three minutes. What happened to them? They were to be produced by Eli Lilly Co. I've been anxiously waiting, but to no avail. Should I keep on waiting or will they never appear?
In your October 1995 issue was a story entitled "Group Calls for Insulin Manufacturers to Repackage Insulin." I would like to remind people that in the 1950's and 60's, NPH was in a tall (I think) square bottle. Globin (an insulin that is no longer manufactured) was a in a short, fat, square bottle. Why can't they do that now?
Sally Tipping
Virginia Beach, Va.
To answer your question about fast acting insulin-please see page 12 of our December issue.
We are not aware of any new long acting insulin, although we did write about animal Ultralente being pulled off the market one year ago. Many people were very disappointed to see this valuable tool lost. Click Here To View Or Post Comments

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.
Hypertext is a multi-linear set of objects, building a network by using logical links (the so called hyperlinks) between the nodes (e.g. text or words). HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext.
The standards development of HTTP was coordinated by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), culminating in the publication of a series of Requests for Comments (RFCs), most notably RFC 2616 (June 1999), which defines HTTP/1.1, the version of HTTP in common use.
HTTP functions as a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. A web browser, for example, may be the client and an application running on a computer hosting a web site may be the server. The client submits an HTTP request message to the server. The server, which provides resources such as HTML files and other content, or performs other functions on behalf of the client, returns a response message to the client. The response contains completion status information about the request and may also contain requested content in its message body.
Pau Gasol i Sáez (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpaw ɡəˈzɔɫ]) (born July 6, 1980) is a Spanish professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was born to Marisa Sáez and Agustí Gasol, and he spent his childhood in Spain. Gasol was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2001 NBA Draft, but his rights were traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, with whom he won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. He currently holds the Memphis Grizzlies franchise records for career games played, minutes played, field goals made and attempted, free throws made and attempted, offensive, defensive, and total rebounds, blocked shots, turnovers, and points. After seven seasons with the team, Gasol was traded to the Lakers on February 1, 2008. His younger brother, Marc Gasol, who was involved in that trade, is also a professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA.
Pau Gasol was born in Barcelona. He began playing basketball with his school team called Alvirne, and he eventually signed with Cornellà. When he was sixteen, he began playing for Barcelona's junior team. He also won both the 1998 Albert Schweitzer Tournament and the 1998 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship. After moving to the senior team of Barcelona, Gasol played just 25 total minutes in the Spanish ACB League 1998–99 season, and averaged 13.7 minutes per game in the ACB the next year. However, in his final season in the ACB, Gasol averaged 12.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game. Barcelona was victorious in the Spanish National Cup championship game in 2001, and Gasol was named Most Valuable Player. After entering the NBA Draft, Gasol was selected third overall in the first round in the 2001 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks, who traded his draft rights to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Shareef Abdur-Rahim.
Jimmy Butler (Akron, Ohio, 20 February 1921 – France, 18 February 1945) was an American, juvenile, motion-pictures actor, active in the 1930s and early 1940s.
Butler earned acclaim for his role in the 1933 film Only Yesterday, and in 1934 his career got another significant boost when the actor earned lavish critical plaudits for his portrayal of Jim Wade in Manhattan Melodrama. Later he played one of the young protagonists, Boka, in No Greater Glory. The irony of this antiwar allegory spilled sadly over into the life of Butler, since he would lose his life a decade later in the real combat of World War II.
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.

Looking at your back-library again... Man, this piece is so awesome, I wish I could promote it again!
This is a truly Wonderful piece of art, Fabian! … and, I'd like to thank you for supporting my work too. I've noticed that often after some artists are added to a founder's follow list and/or become a front page regulars, they seriously slow down on promoting their fellow artists, or only promote artists that are also front page regulars. Thank you for not following this pattern! Personally, I think one of the best features of S6 is the opportunity we are given to encourage our talented comrades. Just wanted to let you know how much I really admire both your art and your compassionate magnanimous generosity! Instead of thanking you personally in my work's comment box, thought I'd do it in yours. ;-)
no problem Wayne! thanks a lot for your words! i'm always trying to promote and support people that i follow and some that i don't, like you said, it's a way to encourage talented comrades. i like your work too, keep on going pal! see ya around :)

Liverpool 3-2 Tottenham: Reds put down marker - Rodgers
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says his side's 3-2 win over Tottenham has proven they can challenge the Premier League's top teams.
The Reds had not beaten any of their rivals currently in the top eight this season until beating Spurs at Anfield.
"All season people have spoken about us not beating anyone from the top 10, then it was the top eight and top six and top four," said Rodgers.
"The game against Spurs was a stringent test and they came through it."
Liverpool had failed to beat Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton or West Brom prior to the win against Spurs.
Match facts
- Luis Suarez has now scored nine goals in the Premier League in 2013 - two more than any other player.
- The Reds have won three games in a row (all competitions) for the first time this season.
"We know where we want to be eventually but this is another marker for us in terms of our growth," added Rodgers.
Liverpool took the lead against Spurs through Luis Suarez's 22nd Premier League goal of the season only to fall behind to two Jan Vertonghen efforts.
But Stewart Downing and a Steven Gerrard penalty completed the Reds' comeback to secure three successive league wins for the Merseysiders for the first time since May 2011.
"It was very important win for us," said Rodgers, whose side moved above rivals Everton into sixth.
"We are on a great run at the moment and we knew this was going to be a severe test of our qualities and character against a team in great form.
"For us to get three points and show the character was fantastic and I am delighted for the players because they worked ever so hard.
"You can see the mentality in the group. I thought we had to show different characteristics than what we have had to do in recent weeks.
"We've been comfortable in a lot of the games and been able to control them but against a top side we came through.
Liverpool are seven points off a top-four slot and potential qualification for the Champions League, although Rodgers refused to get carried away.
"I am not thinking of that [qualification for Europe]. We'll just keep collecting points and see where it takes us."

12th March 2013 - 23:30For those bickering over who's a top 4 side and who isn't, I'd personally say that neither Liverpool or Spurs are in that group. City, Utd, Chelsea, and Arsenal are the best 4 sides in the league - Spurs are closing the gap on Arsenal and Chelsea but they aren't there yet, while Liverpool are clinging desperately to the coat-tails of those other 5 with Everton breathing down their necks.

Yup we do as well as stats mean nothing the score is all that matters but bring honest I knew those who say this when we play well and dont win would flip flop their opinions now that has reversed -

12th March 2013 - 19:40I think that Brendan is getting carried away with this win. Spurs were the better team and should have been out of sight but they hit the post. Liverpool were then gifted two goals. Rodgers is going in the right direction but their squad is limited and Gerrard is getting older so he will have to be replaced at some point. Too many indifferent players for whom they paid too much.

Batman is the superhero protector of Gotham City, dressed like a bat he fights evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his secret identity he is Bruce Wayne, billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy. Although he has no superhuman powers, he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess and technical ingenuity make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. He is also a founding member of the Justice League and the Outsiders. Dick Grayson, originally Robin and Nightwing, is Wayne's successor and they operate simultaneously as part of Batman Incorporated. Batman was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, first appearing in Detective Comics #27. (1939)
Taken from DC Comic Database
I admit that I used to watch the old Batman series with Adam West growing up, not that I'm a child of the 60's but it was still a popular show back then. I wasn't even aware that there was a Batman movie in 1966 (using the same cast) but here are some snippets from the movie.

It was a lot harder than I had anticipated creating a costume as there aren't a lot of black items in the game (or a utility belt for that matter) but I love how the one I used looks like a bat where the buckle normally goes. I managed to create a couple of variations basing both sets around the Arc-Scorched Helmet.

CALICUT, 25 August, 2012 - Can the notes of life play a positive role in our routine tones? Do we cling on to a web of notes and never let go?
Harping on my elusive strings of thought,
Wandering aimlessly from note to notes,
My heart grows lighter by the picky tone,
Stronger; solace seeks in noteworthy space.
Grass grows, the rhythm has spoken,
Softly, tuning in to glory as footnotes peal,
The churn plays on, the parody dazzles,
Harshly, woes harmonize the normal form.
Winds scream, lending their heartfelt rendition,
Perusing my mind, breezing fondly through it,
Belting away the cobwebs, in a web of trails,
Calling a synthesis of notes, fiddling with pace.
The clock has chimed, trails mildly re-unite,
Time arrives, ticking off the faraway rhythm,
Cleaning the board-of note, notes and thee,
Again, the player changes-and thy notes sound.

The limited edition Porsche Boxster pays homage to the Type 718 RS60 Spyder that became known as a dragon-slayer after it scored its first overall victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1960, dominating more powerful cars in the process.
"The Boxster RS 60 Spyder comes swathed in GT Silver Metallic paint with a Carrera Red interior to match the #42 car it's attempting to channel, along with a serialized silver plaque on the dash proclaiming its limited numbers and a new front spoiler," AutoBlog said. "But it's not just a bit of extra glitz heaped atop the already competent Boxster S. The stock rollers are swapped in favor of a set of 19-inch Porsche SportDesign alloys, the suspension benefits from Porsche's Active Suspension Management system (PASM) and the flat-six is uncorked with a sports exhaust that bumps output to 303 HP."
Porsche will unveil the special edition RS60 Spyder, only 1960 of which will be made, at the Bologna Motor Show in Italy.

Hi All, I rec'd an iron table and chairs from my daughter. I'm wondering how do I get the old paint off. It is rusty from staying out in the weather.
Should I consider just having it sand plasted? Would this get rid of the rust? TIA, Linda |

It depends on how bad the rust is.I did a set earlier this year,and dh just pressure washed it for me,then i sprayed it with a few coats of rustoleum paint,then i recovered the seats.Looked like a new set.Here's some pictures. Kathi |

if it's less than 60 years old? just wirebrush it to get any flakey bits off (if it's bad, they make wire brushes that attatch to a drill bit) and shoot it with Rustoleum in your choice of color (I'm currently a fan of their 'hammered' finish paint in the bronze) you can also get 'naval jelly' at the car stores that will eat away the rust for you - it's pretty simple to use, though bad for your lawn, since it needs to be hosed off. then you'd have a nice, etched surface to paint. |

When I went in search of coordinating items for my Nicolita swimsuit feature of the week it was not difficult to find yellow inspiration.

Crazy about yellow accessories. Such a fun way to liven up a simple outfit. So I bring it into my wardrobe in small doses. And – how perfect is that ruffled dress for Nicolita's swimwear?

And. ADD moment. Could you just fall over? How gorgeous is she in yellow?

Best way to learn DIY calibration work
My latest project is to learn how to do ECM calibration work. The GM guys call it "cal". The hobby calls it "tuning" or "reprograming". However you say it, after nearly 25 years of using an aftermarket calibration engineer to tune my ECMs, I decided to learn to do the work myself.
The first thing i did was survey the market as far as apps one can use to do cal work. While there are several pieces of software out there, "HPTuners" is unquestionably the market leader right now and has been for a while. Another reason I gravitated towards "HPT" is that the aftermarket cal engineer who's done most of my calibration since 1995, Ron Zimmer, uses HPTuners in a lot of his work on my cars. So, with one of the best cal guys in the business as my inspiration, I acquired a copy of HPT. At first, I used the current release version, 2.22 but I just upgraded to 2.23 (beta).
I also decided that, rather than relying on on-ling help functions, combined with trial-and-errror and what I read on forms---75% of which is bad information--I decided to take a class on calibration with HPTuners. There is not a lot out there as far as educational material covering use of HPT, but I found an excellent source for it: The "Tuning School" of Odessa, Florida.
The Tuning School offers two kinds of courses, class-room, seminar-style instruction which is done over two days at a facility with a chassis dyno. These seminars offered in both Odessa FL and Las Vegas NV. The other type of class is a home-study program--The Tuning School calls it "Learn-at-Home"--covering the use of HPT on late model GM ECMs. There are three of these home-study courses, beginning and advanced ECM tuning classes and a GM electronic automatic trans tuning class. Right now I'm doing the beginning ECM class, which is titled "Tuning the Right way: A Beginner's Guide to Tuning GM Vehicles with HP Tuners Software".
The first engine I decided to calibrate is the LS6 in my 2004 Z06. I had already had the car "custom-tuned" by Westech in Mira Loma, CA but their work was all with the car's fuel and spark at wide-open throttle. Since then, I'd been having occasional DTC P0171 or P0174 (lean exhaust) set and, even when the MIL was not requested, the long-term fuel-trim function was adding way too much fuel at low rpm light throttle. There was no vacuum leaks and I attribute the unusual LTFTs at low rpm to the Granatelli MAF I put on the car.
Since the WOT on this car was already acceptable and I don't yet have a wide-band O2S which is required for WOT tuning work, I started with the Tuning School's lessons on calibrating the ECM's main VE and MAF sensor tables for better drivability through optimized fuel trims. Admittedly, you wouldn't normally take the class this way but necessity was the mother of invention, in this case since my part throttle needed work but the WOT was ok for now.
So, after a couple of nights reading and re-reading the Tuning School's material, I took the first whack at DIY cal work last weekend and, considering that, while I'd watched over Zimmer's shoulder for many years but had never actually done any reprogramming myself, after my first cal sessions, I was pretty amp'ed at the results.
After a session on Sunday and a second one on Monday I had made a significant improvement in the car's LTFT functions, having moved them from as much as +21% (above 23 turns on the light) down to about 3-5%. Not bad, considering my rookie status but...there is more to do over the next few months as I have to continue to fine-tune my 04 Z06 and, then, move onto my hotrod V6 Camaro, my 99 Blazer and my Wife's 07 HHR. I will be documenting some of my calibration learning experiences for an article I'm going to write later this year for "Auto Enthusiast" magazine.
I think the Tuning Schools home-study classes are pretty darn good pieces of instruction and well worth the money. They are far better than trying to figure out HPTuners by trial-and-error. You can be using HPT the right way in far less time. Also, you read those course books then figure out that a fair amount of discussion on forums about how to calibrate is bad info.
As for HPTuners itself? Well, it's a damn fine app. Actually it's a suite of two apps, "VCM Editor", which you use to program the ECM, and "VCM Scanner" what you use to record the ECM's serial data stream as it relates to the paramaters you are going to calibrate. VCM Suite's interface is reasonably intuitive. The software allows access to much of the ECM's programmable resources. The software installs and loads with no issues I can detect to date. It will run under Windows XP, Vista or 7 on a machine with a 1Ghz or faster processor and at least 512Mb of RAM. I use it on an old Acer 5670 running Win7. HPT has reasonably good tech support and a darn good web site with FAQ and user forums.
I'll post here again when I get a little farther along in my home-study activities.

Thirdgen.org is an excellent source of information and tools for the DIY tuner. If you go to their DIY Prom forum, you will find stickies to excellent articles and write-ups on tuning. Most deal with SD systems
but you will also find primers on hacking and disassembling ECM code. With the growing popularity of installing LSx motors in 3rd Gens, you will also find more discussion of PCM tuning and using LSx ignition on Gen1 and Gen2 motors. Other good sources of info and tools can be found at DynamicEFI, Welcome to www.moates.net! : Moates.Net, TunerPro and TunerPro RT - Professional Automobile Tuning Software.

I should have said in the OP that HPTuners only supports 1996 and up systems and my discussion relates only to 96-up ECMs with EEPROM memory which can be "flashed" during the programming process.
I've decided I'm going to tackle learning calibration work for those systems, first.Hib Halverson

I have some plants and seeds that, well, I have a surplus of and was wondering if there was anyone else in the B/CS area wanting to trade and share the wealth. I have the following to spare:
Angel Wing Begonia plants or cuttings
I would like to get some Passiflora Edulis or any other Passiflora that fruits, preferably already established since I don't have the best luck rooting them myself. Any dwarf citrus would also be welcome. I would also love a small bay laurel tree if one is available, but I'm open to new and interesting plants if they come up, there are just off the top of my head. If anyone is interested, let's try to set up a plant exchange. Best wishes to all! Andrew |

For today's pot of Teavivre Huang Shan Mao Feng, I used a full tablespoon because of all of the space between the crispy and knotty leaves, rather like the roots of a huge tree which I encountered while digging a final resting place in my backyard for beloved HRH Emperor Oliver on September 16, 2013. But that's another story.
This batch has the same cooked vegetable aftertaste—similar to severely overcooked green beans, and the liquor is more golden than green—veering even a bit toward brown. I'm not sure that adding more tea for the pot will help since I don't like the scent of this tea that much either. There is a darkness here which matches well the idea of knotted tree roots in a forest.
I'll try again.

March 26th, 2012
The Propagandist's Allies had a busy weekend, busting up formations and raining fire down upon the dark legions of awfulness.
Here's a follow-up from some of their latest dispatches.
- Memorandum on the Call for an EU Special Coordinator for Tibetan Affairs. What's been tried ain't working.
- Forging Syria's opposition. Is the opposition really up to the job?
- London Recalling All MI5 Agents To Help With Summer Olympics Security. They'll be sure to give equal surveillance time to jihadists and secular humanists, just to cover their bases.
- Obama to Medvedev: I'll totally cave on missile defense in my second term if Putin will give me "space". Yeah, pretty much.
Confusion to our enemies!

Kellie Pickler has arrived as an artist. Indebted perhaps to a long run on American Idol, her first two albums had decidedly pop leanings in keeping with her introduction to a national audience via America's most popular TV program. Not that she wasn't successful in doing so. A million and a half albums and 3 million tracks later, (including the platinum selling Taylor Swift co-authored ditty, "Best Days of Your Life"), Kellie was a regular on the talk show circuit and main support for the biggest arena acts in Country music. Now it's time to blaze a new path. "When I auditioned for American Idol I was not an artist," the season five alum admits. "So from Idol to the first record to this record, I really tried to find myself because there's a difference between a singer and an artist.
The Music Unlimited service sat down with Kellie Pickler at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to talk about, 100 Proof, her most rewarding and sure to be most critically received new record. The album harkens back to Country music's golden era without sounding dusty or losing any modern production value. In other words, she's not making music for Tammy Wynette fans as much as she wants her fans to know about Tammy Wynette. Kellie discusses some of her favorite songs on the record, including, "Tough," "The Letter (to Daddy)" and "Mother's Day."

Renewable energy could fully power a large electric grid 99.9 percent of the time by 2030 at costs comparable to today's electricity expenses, according to new research by the University of Delaware and Delaware Technical Community College.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Restoring School Programs Through Solar Savings
For decades, there's been a lot of buzz going around regarding the lack of funding in schools across the U.S. All too often, especially in today's volatile economic environment, education budgets are viewed as more of a burden to the overall government budget rather than an important investment in tomorrow's leaders. As a result, programs in early childhood education continue to be cut more and more due to a lack of funding.
Solar Panels for Every Home
We don't think much about pitch pine poles until storms like Hurricane Sandy litter our landscape with their splintered corpses and arcing power lines.
Solar's Steady March: New Installation Figures Are Out
It seems that nearly weekly we hear more good news on the solar energy front. Today, the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research released their Solar Market Insight Report for Q3 2012, with a summary of accomplishments year to date. The progress is impressive and would have been unimaginable just five years ago. Furthermore, the growth is expected to continue for the next several years, jumping from 3.2 GW in 2012 to 7.8 GW by 2015. Some highlights from the report:
Solar Installations Surge on Lower Costs and Government Support
The number of solar installations grew strongly in the nation's residential, commercial and utility sectors in the third quarter, largely as a result of falling costs, a federal investment tax credit and state programs that support renewable energies, the solar industry's main trade group reported on Tuesday.
Chinese Silicon Makers Said to Seek Duties on U.S. Rivals
Bloomberg News
Chinese polysilicon makers are pressing their governments to impose duties on U.S. imports, a move to drive up prices for competing supplies of the material used in solar panels, four people familiar with the issue said.
Study: Solar Energy Could Help Ease Summer Power Issues In Texas
Adding solar capacity to the Texas electricity grid would result in lower wholesale electricity prices for Texas customers, according to a new report authored by The Brattle Group and funded by the Energy Foundation and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
More Solar Power in TX Could Save Consumers Over $520 Million, New Study Finds
More Solar Power in TX Could Save Consumers Over $520 Million, New Study Finds
June 19, 2012 By Zachary Shahan 12 Comments
A new report released today analyzed how much electricity prices for Texas consumers would have been reduced in the summer of 2011 by adding solar capacity to the Texas electricity market. In total, it found potential savings of over $520 million for state electricity consumers.
SEIA's Statement: New Brattle Group Report Shows Solar Energy as a Solution in Texas to Help Address Summer Electricity Challenges
As Texas braces for predicted tighter electricity reserves and higher electricity rates in the state this summer, a new report shows that adding solar capacity to the Texas electricity grid would result in lower wholesale electricity prices for Texas customers.
The Enlightened Classroom
Solar power has long been touted for its environmental impact. But now it has a new role: saving teachers' jobs.

I'm looking to plant a tree hedge along the side of our house to block out some of the view of the cars going by (I've given up on evergreen for complicated reasons). I'd like the usual: multiseason interest, low maintenance, resistant to disease, nice foliage. These are close to the only trees I have room for, so I really want great trees. What do you think about these two (Jane, SummerTyme or small magnolias v. crab apples in general) as possibilities? I have a tiny yard so I"d like to plant things under or next to the trees (hence I'm leaning away from privet, hollies etc). Some specs: Trees will be along side 2.25 foot high stone wall Thank you very much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Kousa dogwood is also on the shortlist, but may end up too big, and tree lilacs are on the list as well, but end up too wide for their height (for my purposes) sometimes. Any thoughts on these two would be helpful as well! Thanks again Jill |
Oops, I meant Sugar Tyme |

Compacted soil will make things difficult for anything planted in this area, but will be especially hard for any sort of magnolia. Crapapples, even the "resistant" ones, are very disease prone and usually wind up looking pretty ratty by August. Improving the soil would be a major project, but planting anything in very compacted soil - which was probably not great even before construction equipment did further damage - would probably be a waste of time, effort and money. |
If you're trying to block the view of cars, I'd go for large shrubs, not trees. Think about viburnums, Abelia mosanensis, a lilac, etc. |
Jane magnolia's fall color is not too impressive. |

z 6A tells us nothing... where are you ... adn whats your base soil type, regardless of compaction ... is it clay??? you said: I've given up on evergreen for complicated reasons ==>> i dont know what this means... but if you cant grow those.. i dont understand why switching plants will bring you any other success ... if you are talking conifers.. well.. they are trees.. and if you are looking to shrubs.. their growing culture is as trees.. so now trying to grow flowering shrubs .. means you are still in the same boat .. see link for planting guide.. i think this is where you need to start ... as in planting being the absolute most important thing to address.. regardless of a nice list of plants ... or you will just be on a failure curve again ... i also wonder about your pollution claim ... all plants favor CO2 ... to think your area is so polluted that it is a vast barren landscape ... doenst jive .. especially since you say the neighbors have thriving arbs .... one of the best ways to get stuff that grows in any given location.. is for you to snap some pix.. and ask us to ID them ... i have stolen more ideas from neighbors.. than i ever learned in a book.. lol .. and i didnt have the WWW nor GW to ID them.. back in the day ... and finally.. i am an eyeball guy.. i cant conceptualize your space w/o a few pix ... i think you will get much better suggestions.. for a solution to your problem if you could post a few .. good luck ken |

Thanks for everyone's thoughts so far. You may be right. Now I am thinking maybe I should wait another year add some buckwheat and topdress with compost. Just waiting another year will be very disppointing (not as disappointing as having a bunch of trees die) To answer Ken's questions: The soil used to be pretty good before the wall went in. Not clay like I grew up with in the midwest. I'm currently in northern Massachusetts. When they put the wall in, they excavated a trench, filled it with gravel and then put the stone wall on top. The dirt is compacted from the machinery and big men in big boots with big rocks, and it has a ton a gravel mixed in it now. It is pretty hard. I took a pick ax to it last year to get a few plants in. As far as evergreens go, its' not a problem with evergreens growing, it's a design problem. My neighbors on all sides love them, so I'm nearly boxed in by them. Don't get me wrong, I like an evergreen just as much as the next person, just a row of arborvitae on 2 sides, and a row of hemlocks on a 3rd side makes me yearn for some seasonality to my plot. The giving up part also references the envy i had for a beautiful mixed border down the road with a variety of everygreens with few other trees mixed in. I love it so, but its 10-20 feet deep, so I've had to give up on that look, even though I love it. I'm not sure I can post a picture just now. Despite 3 trips to the so-to-speak genius bar, our iphoto isn't working, but I will look into it some more (maybe upload directly to a third party site or something). |

1 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, | 1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. |
2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron; | 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. |
3 forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth. | 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. |
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving: | 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, |
5 for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. | 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. |
6 If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed [until now]: | 6 If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. |
7 but refuse profane and old wives' fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness: | 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. |
8 for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come. | 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. |
9 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation. | 9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance |
10 For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe. | 10 (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe. |
11 These things command and teach. | 11 Command and teach these things. |
12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity. | 12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. |
13 Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. | 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. |
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. | 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. |
15 Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all. | 15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. |
16 Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee. | 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. |

It's only 14 days until the 2013 Fiesta Bowl where the Oregon Ducks will face the Kansas State Wildcats. Every day we'll post a meaningful photo from the year to recap the eventful season and get fans prepped for Oregon's fourth consecutive BCS game. Be sure to check out the rest of The Emerald's football coverage leading up to the game.
When Chip Kelly isn't screaming at one of his players for missing a tackle or missing a block, he's usually screaming at a referee. Being a fly on the wall for one of these conversation would be very interesting.

Department of Anthropology
Home › Academics › Colleges › Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Anthropology › Programs of Study › Graduate and Professional Programs › Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology - Archaeology Concentration
The Ph.D. program offers concentration only in archaeology. It emphasizes a sound understanding of archaeological science, inter-disciplinary training and the development of practical skills applicable to both pure and applied research. Rather than dichotomizing pure and applied approaches to archaeological research, the program melds the two within the basic tenets of archaeological science. The discipline of archaeology has undergone marked changes over the last three decades with a steady decline in traditional university faculty positions balanced by a dramatic growth in applied archaeology/cultural resource management (CRM) employment. Applied positions are broadly distributed within government and private sectors. Recent surveys show 60-70% of the Society for American Archaeology membership belongs to the applied sector and 80% of all archaeology undertaken in North America is related to applied research. Accordingly, the Ph.D. program is designed to integrate experiences and perspectives of applied research throughout the curriculum. That curriculum provides the strong theoretical and methodological training typical of the best traditional academic programs while exposing all students to the skills necessary to conduct applied research. In this way, the Ph.D. curriculum prepares students for either applied or academic positions upon graduation.
Admission. Candidates for admission to the doctoral program in anthropology, with a concentration in archaeology, must either hold a bachelor's degree in anthropology or archaeology or hold a bachelor's degree in another subject with significant course work in anthropology. Candidates without this background may apply after first strengthening areas of deficiency. The Graduate Advisor will assist in this process. Applicants for admission should have a minimum grade point average of 3.5. All applicants must submit scores from the General Tests of the Graduate Record Examination. Students with exceptional promise that do not meet one or more of the admission conditions may be admitted on probation with the approval of the Graduate Advisor and the Dean of the Graduate School.
General Requirements. The total hours required for the Ph.D. will include a minimum of 72 hours beyond the bachelor's degree and a minimum of 42 hours beyond the master's degree. Students who enter the program with a B.A. and want to obtain the Ph.D., will complete 36 hours of M.A. course work and a written qualifying exam.
There is no formal language requirement for the Ph.D. degree. Students, however, will consult with their advisors regarding the development of pertinent linguistic and/or computer skills necessary for thesis research and analysis. Students are reminded that many research positions require proficiency in one or more foreign languages.
Program Objectives
After completing the Ph.D. in Anthropology, students will:
Learning Outcomes
1. Have contributed original, problem-oriented research that will make a significant contribution to the discipline.
2. Communicated research findings effectively in writing and in oral presentations.
3. Demonstrated the ability to generate and analyze anthropological data.
The Ph.D. degree requires completion of a minimum of 72 hours of course work beyond the Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 42 hours beyond the Master's degree. There is no formal language requirement, although students are strongly encouraged to acquire linguistic competence appropriate to their areas of specialization. Students are required to obtain computer and GIS skills through their coursework.

Minimum of 6 credit hours
Minimum of 18 hours
Transfer Credits. Students with an M.A. degree in a relevant field of study may apply up to 30 credit hours to the Ph.D. program including up to 9 hours of thesis work. Up to 12 credit hours of graduate enrollment not applied to any degree may be transferred. See page 18 of the Graduate Bulletin for more information about transferring graduate credit. Advisory Committee. Students in the Ph.D. program will be advised initially by the Graduate Advisor. The student must select a research area and a research advisor or co-advisors by the end of the second semester after enrollment in the program. The student, after consultation with the advisor or co-advisors, recommends the members of the advisory committee to the Dean of the Graduate School by the end of the third semester of enrollment. The advisory committee must have at least four graduate faculty members, consisting of at least two members from the department of Anthropology and one member from outside the department. One member of the advisory committee may be a qualified expert in the research area from outside the University. At least half the total committee must be full time Anthropology graduate faculty members at The University of Tulsa. The advisory committee approves the dissertation and administers the final dissertation oral examination. Qualifying Examination. Prospective Ph.D. students entering without a master's degree in anthropology or archaeology must take the written qualifying exam no later than the end of their second year of enrollment. This exam is based on the core curriculum of archaeology. Students are strongly encouraged to have completed the core curriculum at this time. At the discretion of the faculty, students may be required to do additional course work at the M.A. level before sitting for the qualifying examination. The examination will be given normally in December and May, and it can be retaken only once.Those entering the program with only a bachelor's degree and wanting to obtain the Ph.D. must complete 36 credit hours of M.A. coursework and the written qualifying examination. Those passing the examination will continue in the Ph.D. program and are eligible to receive an M.A. degree upon the recommendation of the program to the Dean of the Graduate School. Those failing twice to pass the exam will receive a terminal M.A. degree. Dissertation Proposal and Comprehensive Exam. Doctoral students will stand for the comprehensive exam, focused on their research area, at the time of completion of all coursework. The comprehensive exam includes the presentation of a proposal and oral defense of a student's doctoral research project. The proposal is presented orally before the advisory committee in a forum open to any students or faculty. Candidacy. A student in the Ph.D. program is recommended for candidacy by the Graduate Program Advisor after the comprehensive examination has been passed and the dissertation proposal has been successfully defended. Dissertation. Ph.D. candidates must write a dissertation on the results of their research. The dissertation must demonstrate the candidate's abilities in independent investigation in the area of interest and must contribute to the field of archaeology. The dissertation must follow the Graduate School's recommended procedures for submission to the student's advisory committee, and before it is finally reproduced it must be presented to the full advisory committee for examination and review and presented orally in a forum open to all students and faculty. The dissertation will be microfilmed and published in Dissertation Abstracts. The dissertation will be graded on a pass-or-fail basis. Final Oral Examination. Each candidate must pass a final oral examination before the advisory committee. The examination will consist of a defense of the dissertation, the general field of the dissertation, and other parts of the program which may be chosen by the committee. The advisory committee recommends the candidate to the Dean of the Graduate School for the Ph.D. degree upon successful completion of the final oral examination and acceptance of the dissertation.
