Shot taken with the Panasonic TZ4 about 2/3 inch over the water. I've never seen many bugs strolling across the tensile cohesion of your everyday pond before. (How's THAT for reaching all the way back to high school science class, huh? LOL!) Anyway, not that I'm thru bragging (without admitting I had to look up the spellings), this unidentified critter wasn't the slightest bit disturbed by the camera just about poking him in the abdomen. Either that or he was just learning about the walking on water trick and didn't want to make a mess of it and sink.
Either way, he hung out in a tiny backwater of the Bear River in California
I'm just slightly uneasy about the critter. I haven't looked him up yet and I'll wait for someone to surprise me with the name. But it looks like something I wouldn't want burrowing in my skin or biting me undiscovered.
I'm a "scatter-focus" artist. ANYTHING may be here or roundabout my galleries. Expect nothing anywhere and you'll always be OK. ;-)

Thank you! :-)

love his shadow and your use of space is fabulous!
I thank you very much. :-D Everything about this shot is new for me and the use of space is from an ongoing commentary from another Red Bubble artist. I'm trying to be more aware of what I have before cutting it all away with the subject just wallowing there in the centre. LOL!

Data Transmission at 16.8kb/s Over 32kb/s ADPCM Channel
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the authors present three models of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) modem operating at data rate of 16.8kb/s to be transmitted over 32kb/s Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) channel. These modems operate at symbol rates of 2400, 2800, and 3360 baud with associated number of bits per symbol of 7, 6, and 5 respectively. The performance of ADPCM is studied considering these modems with different constellations. The simulation results show that the performance of ADPCM degrades as the symbol rate decreases or number of bits per symbol increases. Also, the performance with circular constellation is better than rectangular one.

I've used filtered tap water for 15 years without any problems. Evaporation is relatively slow. I've recently tried vodka with no problems. Evaporation is a lot faster than water. I've used distilled water recently also with no problems. Evaporation is relatively slow. I've had all drip backwards into my brews without any ill effects, then again I believe that I have pretty good tap water in my area. For years I was disheartened by the occasional suction of my airlock contents into my beer. I now know that the wort needs to be below room temperature before going to fermenter and pitching yeast so that as the wort warms up a little the pressure pushes out, rather than the wort cooling a little bit to room temperature and suctioning into the fermenter. I also make sure to add room temp water to the airlock for the same reason. Better yet, S-lock airlock are my favorite if you're not limited vertically. Fill about 1/3 way to max fill line and never a worry if it ever suctions (and it does when it goes in a fridge to crash cool).
I would think twice about using a strongly flavored liquor like Raki in your airlock, unless you like your beer tasting like anise.
Raki is, as I'm sure you know, heavily anise flavored. If you've got an ounce or two of it in your airlock, the whole thing could easily get sucked back into your fermenter, and I wouldn't be surprised if that affected your beer's flavor. To my mind it makes more sense to use an unflavored spirit like vodka. You can buy a relatively cheap bottle of it and use that, that way it won't impact your flavor profile if it gets sucked back in. Just my .02

I picked up a spare M1A about two years back (got a reasonably good deal on it), and after getting tired of my brother-in-law hemming/hawing about buying it off me, I traded it up last weekend at a gun show and got a NIB Springfield Mil-Spec 1911A1, and a used Taurus PT-92 (which is the second PT-92 "rescue" I've bought this year; way too many knuckleheads out there with more cash than sense to just clean their danged guns).
Aaaaaaand... I just had to get me a Walther PPQ (mine's a 9mm, not a .40). |

Hi, New member here. I just bought an Uberti Walker Colt. A year ago, I bought a Shiloh Sharps #1 Sporter in 45-70 caliber. Those are the first guns I've bought in over ten years.

I still have a full-sized M1A, with some goodies added on. Since I also have an AR, I didn't feel the need for a second M1A, and only picked it up when I did as it was a good deal. |

Thanks, I have several other guns, some black powder, some smokeless. Some antiques, some newer. The only other gun I have acquired in the past 10 years besides the two I posted about above was given to me. It is a hand made muzzle loader an older local gentleman gave to me.
I made a separate post about it here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthrea...69#post8503369

This is a little known guy but it's a great "no-frills" shoot the cr*p out of me range gun for well <$350. If you happen to be looking for a 9mm on the cheap full-size gun (still quite capable though) go for it! The Bulgarians have manufactured a tank here (sorta Hi Power clone looking to some degree but certainly 100%).

I just picked up a lightly used (98%) Ruger P95 for ~$250 OTD. I might as well get the hi-caps while I still can!

I think the Kriss Super-V was the last addition to my collection, but I can't remember since it's been a while since I've added to my collection. I am, however, on the waiting list (and have been for at least 8 months now) for this:

Picked up a Sheridan Blue Streak tonight. Got it from the original owner who bought it new in the 70's. Some wear and tear but looks good and functions perfectly.

Smith357, I have an older (Interarms, I think) Rossi coach gun in 20 ga. I absolutely love it. That is an awful purty scatter-rifle you got there. Nice grain in the wood. Hope you get much enjoyment out of it.

Imagine a teenager fooling around in the woods with three friends and his trusty dog named robot. They clear away some debris and overgrowth and discover, soon to the surprise of the world, that this hole is an opening to an elaborate cave. They descend into the cave with an oil lantern and discover the walls and ceilings are covered with paintings and engravings. This actually happened in southwestern France in 1940. The youngest boy, Marsal, just 14, later said "We saw a cavalcade of animals larger than life painted on the walls and ceilings of the cave. Each animal seemed to be moving." So awed he was at being part of this incredible discovery, Marsal devoted the rest of his life to the cave, working as a chief guide until his death in 1989.
Fast forward to 2013. Chicago's Field Museum hosts the North American premiere of Scenes from the Stone Age: The Cave Paintings of Lascaux, a new exhibition that was created in France and features high-tech replications of many of the paintings, including some never seen by the public. After the cave paintings were authenticated as being nearly 20,000 years old, daily tours of the Caves of Lascaux took place from 1948 to 1963, with thousands of visitors per year, until they were closed after signs of deterioration began to appear, due to carbon dioxide from the breath of visitors. Pablo Picasso, awed with humility after seeing the paintings, remarked, "We (contemporary artists) have learned nothing."
With my family, I visited the exhibition recently and we were all blown away. This was not man's work, but what adorned the walls and ceilings was. Scenes from the Stone Age: The Cave Paintings of Lascaux feature full size replicas of the paintings and engravings. They are the most technically accurate reproductions of the cave paintings ever done.
There is an informative film at the exhibit that explains some of the "hows," but despite over 70 years of research, some of the "whys," such as meanings and purposes, remain mysteries. Some who have studied the paintings believe they reflect visions seen by the artists when they were in a trance-like state. Others see the artwork as an account of past hunting successes or part of a ritual to improve future hunting.
In addition to re recreated caves, visitors will come face to face with life-like sculptures of our early ancestors who might have inhabited these caves nearly 20,000 year ago reconstructed from found bones.
Take a good look at the video to whet your appetite, then go to the exhibit. Take your time when there, read every panel, scrutinize the drawings, observe the cool photos of the young discoverers, marvel at the layout of the cave and look closely at the reproductions of Paleolithic family.

Best Coast Announce New Album

Bethany Cosentino for Urban Outfitters: The Elaine Dress
If you've closely watched Best Coast evolve from scratchy bedroom pop recorders to Jon Brion collaborators, yesterday's announcement that frontwoman Bethany Cosentino has designed a collection for Urban Outfitters should come as no surprise. A charismatic and newly confident singer, Cosentino has got just the right ratio of above-ground visibility to indie credibility to help a corporation like Urban on its quest to offer a "lifestyle-specific shopping experience" that is "so compelling and distinctive that the customer feels an empathetic connection to the brand and is persuaded to buy."

Echo Chamber: Best Coast on Planned Parenthood

"Planned Parenthood saves thousands of lives every year. The Susan G. Komen foundation, which was one of PP's biggest supporters in funding for cancer screenings, has backed out of a 5 year relationship with Planned Parenthood due to criticism of supporting a pro-choice organization. My mother is a breast cancer survivor, and without the early discovery of her cancer through a mammogram, my mother could have lost her life.
There are SO many women in the world who do not have the luxury of walking into a doctor's office and having their medical procedures covered by insurance. I'm sure many of you who watch this page don't have health insurance. Please put all of your opinions aside and support this cause. Planned Parenthood needs your help more than ever. We need to stick together to help one of the countries leading health care providers. Please donate what you can and pass this on to your friends and family. "
-- In light of yesterday's news that powerful breast-cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure will end its crucial funding of Planned Parenthood, Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino voiced her ongoing support for Planned Parenthood. [Via Best Coast's Facebook]
Best Coast Talks "Grown-Up" New Album, Working With Jon Brion
By Ryan Dombal on January 6, 2012 at 12:20 p.m. EST
Photos by David Black
Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino has a goal for 2012: "I need to figure out a way to get people to stop thinking of me as the 'stoner, cat loving' girl," she wrote to us in an email this week. "I'm not really like that anymore." The California singer-songwriter hopes to shed her old image through Best Coast's as-yet-untitled sophomore record, tentatively due out this spring.
Talking about her personal evolution, the 25-year-old wrote, "I mean, I am who I am-- a weird Valley girl who likes watching TV and going to Cardio Barre. But writing this new record is the first step to the more grown-up me." For the follow-up to 2010's breakout Crazy for You, Cosentino and fellow Best Coast mainstay Bobb Bruno recorded at the storied Capitol Studios with a surprising producer: inventive pop vet Jon Brion, known for his soundtrack work for films like Punch-Drunk Love and collaborations with Kanye West and Fiona Apple.
As Best Coast wrap up the new album, Cosentino took some time out to answer a few questions about it over email:
Best Coast and Jon Brion in the studio. Photo by David Black.
Pitchfork: Jon Brion is really picky about who he works with. How did you hook up with him for the album?
Bethany Cosentino: Bobb was actually Jon's assistant for a few years, so they had a personal connection. And I met Jon at one of our L.A. shows where he played keyboards on "Our Deal". I knew he was a fan, which was really exciting because I've been a fan of his since I first heard his work. So we threw around the idea of working with Jon, but didn't expect anything to become of it.
Then we were de-boarding a plane at LAX when I got this email, and I remember leaning forward to Bobb and saying, "Uh, Jon Brion is recording our second record at Capitol Studios." Totally an exciting moment for us. We always joke that our "secret to success" is that we actually never try to make anything happen-- it naturally occurs on its own.
"This record is really personal-- much more personal than Crazy For You.
I was able to get a lot off of my chest."Pitchfork: Did you record the entire album with Jon?
BC: We recorded everything with him. I brought in my demos, and we just got to work. My biggest fear as a songwriter is working with a producer who wants to change the way I do things, but that is not the way Jon works. He just wants to enhance the way Bobb and I work. He's like a mentor to us at this point.
Bobb and I would both get so nervous recording guitar or drums in front of him because Jon is like this musical genius. He seriously would pick up the guitar and just start playing some Byrds song so perfectly my jaw would just drop. He's playing some stuff on the record too: percussion, some guitar, some keyboard; which all sounds amazing.
Pitchfork: Did you learn anything from him in the studio?
BC: Yeah, whenever I would freak out and be like, "Oh my god, this sucks," Jon would help me realize that it just needed some work. For example, there was one song that I just wasn't feeling. I hated the lyrics, I hated the vibe-- and while I was recording vocals I was like, "Fuck this." Jon suggested that I take the song home keep working on it-- which isn't something I do with my songs. I'm a very instinctual writer, I write based on what is happening in a moment, and I don't really like to go back and change things because it loses some of its personality. Anyways, I took Jon's advice and completely re-wrote the melody and lyrics. It's called "Why I Cry" and it ended up being one of my favorite songs on the record. It has that thing I love-- happy melody, sad lyrics. Seriously, this record is emo-- get ready for it.
Jon also told me that when I do interviews for this record he wants me to say that he taught me how to "chill out" because he's basically the master of chilling. Half of the day in the studio consists of sitting in the control room and talking about the most random bullshit-- it's a totally relaxed environment.

Pitchfork: Jon is known for his inventive arrangements. Does this new record feature some more unique instrumentation and variation?
BC: Jon was really clear that he didn't want us to make a record that sounded completely different than Crazy for You. He didn't want to come in and change our sound, he just wanted to enhance it, especially sonically. The studio we recorded this record in is insane, a legendary place. Fucking Capitol Studios? That's like the kind of place you dream about recording. The reverb chambers there are the reverb chambers that were used on everything from Pet Sounds to Sinatra. I think Jon really wanted to help us make a record that sounded more "grown up" sonically. We didn't want to make a "lo-fi" record, we wanted to make something that was produced, and sounded different than our first record without completely changing who we are.
"I wanted this record to showcase my voice. I was shy and self-conscious about my voice for a really long time but I grew out of that."
Pitchfork: Are there any new songs you're particularly excited about?
BC: There is one song called "No One Like You" which Bobb and I joked is our Mazzy Star song because it has that really moody, sleepy feel to it. It's definitely my favorite song on the record. There are more slower songs on this record, which is exciting for me because I am much better at singing ballads. I wanted this record to showcase my voice, because in all honesty, that's what I'm best at. I've been singing my entire life but I was shy and self-conscious about my voice for a really long time. I grew out of that on this record. I'm not buried under a bunch of effects. There are also fewer harmonies throughout the record. Crazy For You has so many harmonies and so many backup vocals, but with this record I wanted to tone that down, make things more about the lead vocal, and make it really strong.
Pitchfork: You recently said that "Crazy for You sounds like a young girl whining about her life. I hope this [new album] comes across more as a young woman who's growing up." How does this maturity play out in the songs?
BC: Crazy for You was written in a very insecure, weird, 22-year old phase in my life. I am proud of those songs and what they say--and I know they were so relatable to so many people, which is really amazing. Most of the songs on this record are more about self-discovery and figuring out who I am. I'm 25 now, and things in my life are much, much different than they were then. This record is really personal-- much more personal than Crazy for You. The songs are mostly about me, what I've been through in the last two years, how my life has changed, and what I've learned because of it. It's a very therapeutic record for me-- I was able to get a lot off of my chest. Songwriting is the easiest way to do that for me. There are definitely still songs about love, but it's done in a different way now.
"It was definitely difficult for me to go from being a college dropout working retail to being a professional musician."
Pitchfork: What kind of things have you learned about yourself and how to deal with popularity over the last couple years?
BC: Pretty much every song on the record answers that question. It was definitely difficult for me to go from being a college dropout working retail to being a professional musician. The internet is so powerful these days that people can become successful overnight. I don't think I was prepared for what happened to Best Coast, and I definitely wasn't prepared to spend two years away from home. I wouldn't go back and change things if I could, though.
At the end of the day, no matter how tired or homesick I am, this is the one thing in life I enjoy doing most. I am going to try to stay more relaxed this go around. I feel like I have my head on better. I think I now have a better understanding of what being a musician is like, and I know how to handle the stuff that kind of throws you off course. I also just have to learn to take everything with a grain of salt. People are going to hate you. People are going to love you. You just have to deal with it and keep looking forward.

They have formed you and your perception of the world, even after all of this time. You may not realize it. They are the reason you are afraid of walking alone in the woods at night-there are wolves out there, set to gobble you up. They are the reason you don't speak to strangers-they may steal you away and eat you in their sweet and toasty homes. They are the reason you take risks-if you find your feet you may find the most amazing things.They are a part of you and everyone you have ever met. And thus, I will not tell you their pasts. You already know them. The stories are old and have changed over time, but there are some truths still.

Maximizing Performance of ATCA in Application-ready Platforms
Maximizing Performance of ATCA in Application-ready Platforms
Alliance Systems
Thanks to pressures in the telecom equipment manufacturing industry, application-ready platforms (ARPs) in Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) are increasingly indispensable. ARPs must provide standards-based platforms to support diverse sets of applications. The ATCA ARP provides such a platform, but in light of the ATCA specifications that define the basis for the platform, ARP implementations still present some interesting challenges.

CMMS vs EAM: What Is the Difference?
Written By:
Every enterprise asset management (EAM) application can be used as a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), but not every CMMS can be used as, or has the broad functionality of, an EAM application. More specifically, CMMS is essentially about managing maintenance work necessary to sustain an asset, whereas EAM has more to do with managing the asset over its lifecycle to minimize cost and risk while maximizing return. This white paper explores how CMMS applications and EAM applications drive value.

Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is a well recognised risk factor for falls, how this disease and its therapy affect postural stability and leaning balance remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of PD and levodopa on postural sway and leaning balance. Methods: Performances of 28 PD participants {median [inter-quartile range (IQR)] duration of PD: 10 (6–13) years, median (IQR) UPDRS motor score "off": 22 (14–31) "on" and "off" levodopa were compared with 28 age- and gender-matched healthy controls on two measures of controlled leaning balance [ratio of anterior-posterior (AP) sway to maximal balance range (MBR) and coordinated stability]. Results: PD participants had greater ratio of AP sway to MBR than controls (P < 0.001), indicating that they swayed more as a proportion of their limits of stability, both "off" and "on" levodopa (P < 0.001). They also performed poorer in the coordinated stability test both "off" and "on" levodopa compared to controls (P < 0.001, for both), suggesting greater difficulty in controlling the center of mass at or near the limits of stability. Levodopa improved PD "participants" leaning balance (P < 0.001) and reduced the AP sway to MBR ratio (P < 0.001), although not to the level of controls. Conclusions: PD participants perform poorer than controls in leaning balance tests but significantly improve when "on" levodopa. Regardless of medication state, PD participants sway markedly more as a percentage of their limits of stability than controls suggesting a higher risk of falling. © 2011 Movement Disorder Society

As we've discussed, the bar/club industry can be a pricey undertaking. Because of the high failure rate, you may come across desperate bar owners willing to take a low purchase price just to get out of the business. You'll also find that startup costs for bars vary depending on size, location and target market. So we can't give you a concrete amount for what you can expect to pay to start your business.
We spoke with one entrepreneur in California who spent $25,000 taking over someone else's bar business. Another bar owner in Florida spent several million dollars starting his club (and he didn't even build the building!). The numbers vary all across the board. Your bar's size, location, type and concept will make your startup costs as individual as your business.
However, the chart below will give you some idea of what you'll be looking at--from the low end to the high end. Again, you could buy an existing bar that would nullify all the numbers on our low-end chart or start a large-scale club that's off the map from our high-end numbers. You'll have to do some research to find out what your bar will cost based on your concept, size and location.
Here are the startup costs for two hypothetical bars. The first, Night Owl, is a tavern with a maximum capacity of 100 people and serves only beer and wine with a limited menu. Night Owl has annual sales of $327,416. The second, Neverland, is a 1,000-person-capacity nightclub with a full-service bar. Located in the downtown area of a metropolitan city, Neverland has annual sales of $976,132.
Expenses | Night Owl | Neverland |
Rent (security deposit and first month) | $3,250 | $6,125 |
Leasehold improvements (heating/air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, painting, carpentry, sign, flooring, smoke detectors) | $18,000 | $65,000 |
Equipment/fixtures | $43,000 | $212,000 |
Licenses/permits | $35,000 | $45,000 |
Beginning inventory | $22,000 | $38,000 |
Phone/utilities deposits | $150 | $375 |
Payroll | $5,550 | $18,730 |
Grand opening marketing | $1,000 | $3,000 |
Legal services | $425 | $1,150 |
Accounting | $250 | $650 |
Insurance | $450 | $2,350 |
Miscellaneous expenses (add roughly 10 percent of total) | $12,907 | $39,238 |
Total Startup Costs | $141,982 | $431,618 |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'Tis the season for family, friends, and you
Every year at this time, we try to turn this shallow, money-grubbing, materialistic newspaper column into something more appropriate for a season of giving and celebrating the generous side of humankind.
It's an uphill battle, though, when you are inundated by crass advertising and promotions for everything under the sun, as the "perfect" Christmas present.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I think you'll agree you can't ignore what's going on at this time of year. Try as we might, no one can escape the hype, the flyers, the radio, TV and newspaper ads exhorting you to spend, spend, spend!
I hope those that do not celebrate Christmas will indulge me for risking political incorrectness and cultural insensitivity, as I try to reflect on what might be the true spirit of Christmas, or of the holidays, at least.
It seems to me it's about what you give and how you feel, not what you have and what you get. All the money, houses, cars or Christmas presents won't make you happy for more than a few minutes if you don't feel good about yourself.
Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
It's about how you treat other people and how you treat yourself. So give yourself a present and go easy on yourself. I think Christmas, of all times, should allow you some relief from the pressures to look perfect and perform to superhuman levels. It's a time to cut yourself -- and everyone else -- some slack.
How about taking time to relax, to calmly reflect on our connection with family, friends and the world? As long as you're not in retail, it's a time when you can slow down, forget about work for a while, and spend extra time with loved ones.
Some people take this time to think about why they work so hard the rest of the year, what is really important and what they really value in their lives.
I strongly encourage that, as you know. (More on that next week.)
Other people donate time to causes that help people less fortunate to achieve that same relief from pressure, at least for a short time.
To me, the most important thing is to stop and add up all the things for which you feel -- or ought to feel -- grateful. We have so much.
"The gift is in the giving," as a wise young man said to me a few years ago, and he is right. My most memorable Christmases have been the ones when I really took time to find small but personal gifts for people close to me.
None of them cost much money. This year, I found out that the absolute best thing about writing and publishing a book was the ability to give books to friends and colleagues and inscribe with heartfelt thoughts what I am always too shy to say out loud. That was a wonderful surprise.
It occurred to me that I could give such a gift anytime, in a card, a letter, an email or with my voice.
This column spends much of the year talking about money and taxes, investments and risk management, all of the things that can help you get ahead materially. But very little of that will help you feel better for more than a short time if you don't know why you are doing it all and if you forget who and what is really important to you.
How can you take some time over the holidays and help yourself feel good? Even better, can you take on some chores and responsibilities that will allow someone you love (usually the wife and mother of the family) who always has to do everything, to have some time to relax? Be extra supportive, be empathetic, just be around.
How can you connect with family and reconnect with other people who matter to you?
To all who celebrate Christmas, have a very merry one. To those who don't, enjoy the days off afforded by this annual pagan ritual, forgive us our trespasses in the malls and enjoy the fruits of the Boxing Day sales.
Happy Hanukkah, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten, Merry Christmas.
Have a truly joyous holiday and a very Happy New Year!

Hi everyone,
I'm now working on a DWF viewer on iOS, but I can only find DWFToolkit for Mac, and it's library obviously not compitable with armv6 or armv7 architectures.
So I was wondering how can I modify the library to make it suitable to iOS?
Thank you!
I've compiled a iOS version of DWFToolkit library. But I failed at parsing Manifest part, the XML parser always crash when it met the second sub-node of <DWFroperties>.
Is anyone has any suggestions for me?
Yes, I've got the same Problem. I sent you a private message.
I hope this can be solved somehow.
Were you able to figure this out? Is this possible?
