EUR-USD peaked at 1.1277 in early trade, just under Friday's recovery high of 1.1282. The 1.1300 level has been touted as resistance, with reloading of shorts noted ahead of the figure. This worked out well last Friday, as the euro touched trend lows under 1.1100 last night. Sellers again stepped in over 1.1275 this morning, taking the euro into 1.1250. A couple more bounces were seen, to a high of 1.1295, though sellers returned on each ... Read More ►

EUR-USD rebounded sharply after plumbing an 11-year low at 1.1098 in Asia. The move stalled in the 1.1250-62 region, where renewed selling interest reappeared, despite an above-forecast German Ifo release. A notable short squeeze in EUR-JPY, which interbank and speculative accounts viewed as being ripe for after hefty losses in recent days, had encouraged a similar play in EUR-USD. USD-JPY rebounded over a big figure from the Tokyo low at 117.26, logging ... Read More ►

The dollar corrected some after posting fresh highs against most currencies. EUR-USD logged a fresh 11-year low at 1.1098, subsequently rebounding above 1.1200. In Greece, the opposition party Syriza won the Sunday election, putting the austerity programs in doubt. We think the ECB QE program should keep a lid on contagion in Eurozone markets, but investors will be keeping close tabs on how things unfold in Athens in the period ahead, with 'Grexit' ...

FX trade was relatively calm in N.Y. on Monday, and the dollar was mixed overall. EUR-USD moved up to 1.1290, as cable rallied to 1.5100. USD-CHF was higher however, with that move led by a round of EUR-CHF short covering. The cross moved back over 1.0100. USD-JPY was modestly firmer, as speculation over new BoJ stimulus made the rounds. USD-CAD meanwhile, eased back from trend highs posted in London, moving under 1.2410.

A newer version of PeaZip is available.
Or, Learn More About PeaZipSpectacular
Full user review
"It's a great program definitely worth downloading, drawbacks are minor"
It does what it says it will
It zips/unzips a wide variety of compression types
It's fast
And now it's much simpler to use - they did a good job cleaning up some GUI functions that made how do do things (like unzip to function) hard to set up
Don't like is NOT the right phrase.
For me it's more a matter of improving the GUI just a little bit more in one area.
They did such a good job of making the program work smoothly and intelligently that the 4 initial icons on the first tap are now redundant. They also lack a "pop up" explanation. So newbie users may get very confused trying to use those buttons if they assume wrong.
I'd just delete them all together, and refer people to the tabs below. If you don't do that, then put a "label" on the icons. I know this may be difficult due to the multiple language format, but it would be very helpful.

Hi there :)
Just wondering what the difference is between the stamen that have wire and the stamen that have string, besides the obvious! LOL! I know one is wire and one is string...lol...but are they used for different types of flowers? I have a package of double headed stamen that are on a string that was given to me and I can't seem to find anything on the internet that indicates how these are used. I can imagine how the wired ones are used but not the string ones.
Any ideas??

Faculty Adventures in Cyberspace!
In this column we ask SPEA faculty members to describe their relationship to the Internet, e-mail, and related gadgetry. This month we go online with Clint Oster, Professor and Associate Dean, Bloomington Programs.
What are your favorite work-related Web sites and why do you like them? Most of my research is related in some way to the airline industry, both domestic and international. The availability of data on the Web has changed the way all of us in this field do our research. My favorite work-related Web site is the FAA's National Aviation Safety Data Analysis Center (http://www.faa.gov/safety/data_statistics/nasdac/). Through this site, we can access all the accident data for the United States and limited data on major accidents worldwide. When we first started doing safety research, we had to persuade the people at the National Transportation Safety Board to mail us hard copy of the specific information we needed. Another useful site is the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (http://www.bts.gov/). Here, we can download much of the airlines operations data we need. Before, we used to have to copy it from books in the Government Documents Section in the Main Library. Another line of research we're doing is a comparison of the way air traffic control systems are designed, operated, and managed in various countries around the world. For this work, the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization's Web site has been quite helpful (http://www.canso.org/canso/web/), as it has the financial information about the U.S. Aviation Trust Fund that the FAA provides (http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/trust_fund/).
Where do you go on the Web for fun? When I'm not at SPEA, one of the things I do is serve as an accident investigator for the Indy Racing League, so I enjoy looking at their Web site (http://www.indyracing.com/home.php) to keep up with what happens at the races I don't attend. Also, my wife and I have a cabin in Montana and we like to use the Web to keep up on the wildfire conditions in the late summer and early fall when we're not there (http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/news_info/index.html) and the snow pack conditions in the winter (http://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/snow/snow.cgi). It's also convenient to use the Web to keep up on the news. The sites I check daily are www.cnn.com, www.nytimes.com, and www.washingtonpost.com.
How has your work life changed as a result of the Internet and e-mail? Most of my research is done in collaboration with a colleague at another university. In addition to the Internet making it easier for us to get the information we need, e-mail makes it much easier to work together without having to make trips back and forth between the two universities. We use e-mail to share data and analytical results and even to edit one another's draft manuscripts. A second change is that it's possible to be out of town, either on a short trip or for part of the summer, and keep up on most of my work at SPEA. Of course, the down side of that convenience is that work can sometimes intrude on what is supposed to be a vacation, but that doesn't happen too often.
Beyond that, I try not to let e-mail change how I interact with students and colleagues. I still prefer to have a face-to-face conversation when students have a question or need help and, whenever possible, I would still rather talk to colleagues than e-mail them.
Do you have any other gadgets (PDA, Blackberry)? I used a PDA for several years until I was "forced" to get a Blackberry when I took on the job of Associate Dean. I have to admit, though, that the Blackberry has been more convenient than I'd expected. I used to have to take my laptop along on short trips just to keep up on e-mail and now if I don't need my laptop for other work, I can leave it at home and just take the Blackberry.

Cruise the Caribbean With Olympian Gary Hall, Jr.
Sometimes having diabetes offers saving graces and pleasurable moments. That's certainly the intent of the Gary Hall, Jr. Foundation, which has just announced that it will offer a five-day Caribbean cruise, starting December 1, 2008, for people with diabetes and their loved ones.
Guests will depart from Miami on Carnival Line's M/S Destiny, bound for the Bahamas and Grand Turk. Along with enjoying the cruise ship's usual amenities, they'll spend some of their time participating in seminars, cooking demonstrations, support group meetings and testing the latest technologies available for diabetes management.
They will also get to interact with Gary Hall, Jr., a three-time Olympic swimmer with 10 medals. (To see our previous coverage of Gary, go to "Gary Hall, JR.", "We Could All Learn a Lesson From Gary Hall, Jr." and "Gary Hall, Type 1 Swimming Champion, Uses His Sponsors to Promote Diabetes Awareness.")
Hall was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1999 when he was told he would no longer be able to compete at an elite level as an athlete. He proved the pessimists wrong, going on to win gold medals at both the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games. He is currently training in hopes of making a fourth U.S. Olympic team in 2008.
Hall says his success gives people with diabetes around the world proof that with proper management of the disease, there are no limitations stopping them from pursuing their dreams.
"In some ways, managing diabetes is a lot like my sport," he says. "Ultimately swimming is an individual sport. You stand up on the block by yourself, but to get to the starting block takes a team. It's the same with diabetes management.
"We're bringing together a team of experts that will help people learn how to better manage their diabetes, including endocrinologists, diabetes educators and nutritionists who will work with the cruise passengers. But of course there will be plenty of time for fun, too. "
"Attending the cruise will also give people with diabetes and their families the opportunity to meet others with the disease," says Kirstie Bolitho, executive director of the Gary Hall, Jr. Foundation. "You will be able to meet other people like Gary who are doing extraordinary things despite having diabetes. Attendees will see first-hand that having diabetes isn't something that will hold you down from enjoying life to the fullest. We encourage people with diabetes to 'Go Live It!'"
Prices start at $422 per guest for the five-day cruise (based on double occupancy; includes port charges, taxes and fees, but not air fare). To reserve a spot, call 1-877-874-7776 and reference Group # 5V1H35.
Editor's Note: The starting price for this cruise is one of the most reasonable we've seen.

Test Sessions for Texas Showdowns
October 20, 2009 by Benjamin Tuttle (Ticketing Manager)
Filed under Featured Articles, Latest News
Comments Off
Testing is in full swing as National Guard ADRL Speedtech Battle for the Belts contenders are out preparing for this weekend's LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals V at Ennis, TX.
Current Pro Extreme World Champion Jason Scruggs said he was out this past weekend at Memphis Motorsports Park, but didn't manage to make even one full pass in five attempts, including one aborted with a faulty transmission.
"The track was decent, but we were trying some new things and it just kept shaking," Scruggs said of his Garret-built '68 Camaro. "It had some good 60-foot times and one low 2.50 to the 330 (foot marker), but I wasn't pedaling it or trying to drive it hard."
Scruggs also said that despite the less-than-satisfying Memphis session, he probably won't join several of his Pro Extreme brethren in a last-chance Thursday test outing at Crandall, TX.
"We pretty much know where we are and what we have," he said. "And that track (Texas Motorplex) has been good to us. Since they moved the Battle for the Belts there we've only lost one round and that was in the finals on Saturday night last year when fluid got under my tire. I'm feeling pretty good right now, but whoever wins will have to run fast three times and cut good lights. Whoever wins is going to deserve it."
Also on hand at Memphis was Flowmaster Extreme 10.5 contender Spiro Pappas with his '09 GXP. Pappas said he made about eight passes, including "three that were right where we want them." He added he's "100-percent confident" heading to Texas and called the upcoming Speedtech Battle for the Belts "the single biggest race of my career."
"This is the big one; this is the one I want. I'm so motivated, you can't even imagine," the Chicago-based driver declared. "When I get to the final I just hope I get (defending series champ Billy) Glidden there. That would be perfect."
Though not a Speedtech Battle for the Belts qualifier, also of note a few hundred miles east was Pro Extremer Von Smith (left) who turned only the second 3.60 pass in history (after Scruggs' 3.66 at Memphis this summer) when he went 3.69 at 206.92 mph over the eighth mile in a Texas tune-up event at Virginia Motorsports Park.
That run placed Smith and his Howard Moon-tuned '68 Camaro on top of the hastily assembled Al-Anabi Shootout qualifying list and he followed up with a 3.70 at 206.86 in eliminations before being ousted in the semis by Quain Stott, yet another National Guard ADRL regular.
Stott fell in the final, however, to Belts qualifier Todd Tutterow, who ran a string of 3.70s at more than 200 mph each time to take the win.
National Guard ADRL Pro Nitrous racer and Belts starter Burton Auxier won the nitrous-assisted portion of the event in a field that included teammates and Belts contenders Mike Castellana and Khalid Al Balooshi, in addition to Pro Nitrous racers John DeCerbo (who finished runner-up to Auxier), Randall Haynes and Pat Bennett.

O'FALLON, MO (Oct. 12, 2009) — Halloween will still be a week away, but monsters will be set loose at the Texas Motorplex Oct. 23-24, when "BIGFOOT," the biggest name in monster truck history, takes on the equally intimidating "Snake-Bite" in a special, eighth-mile drag racing grudge match during the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals V, the championship-deciding season ender for the National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL).
The special race-within-a-race is being added to the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals V courtesy of Summit Racing Equipment, primary sponsor of Team BIGFOOT and title sponsor of the Summit Racing Equipment ADRL Ohio Drags at National Trail Raceway, near Columbus, Ohio.
"When we started discussing how Summit Racing Equipment could become a part of the ADRL World Finals it just seemed like a perfect time to bring these two powerful marketing partners together," Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports and Events Manager Jim Greenleaf said. "Bob Chandler and the guys with BIGFOOT always put on a great show and that's what makes this such a perfect fit with the great drag racing event than Kenny Nowling and his ADRL crew put together. So you know this is going to be a big hit with the fans."
Weighing in at 10,000 pounds apiece, each truck will fight to put more than 1,500 horsepower to the pavement daily at the Ennis, Texas, drag strip.
"Just like all of our pro racing classes, this will be no gimmicks, heads-up, first-one-to-the-finish-line-wins racing," National Guard ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling stated. "I can't wait to stand between these monsters when they light them up. The fans at the Motorplex are in for a real treat."
"We are extremely excited to bring monster truck drag racing to the ADRL," BIGFOOT 4X4 Inc. Vice President Bob Trent added.
Both monster trucks will be on display all weekend during the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals V, with BIGFOOT driver Dan Runte and Snake-Bite's Larry Swim also available to sign autographs. They will race following the conclusion of the National Guard ADRL's championship-deciding Speedtech Battle for the Belts finals on Friday night, just before Mike "Hojo" Hojnacki closes out the day with a flame-throwing, jet-car blast and again on Saturday night following the Pro Extreme final for the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals V.

25 Aug 2014 Yet another warning
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jun/30/stephen-emmott-ten-billion "If we discovered tomorrow that there was an asteroid on a collision course with Earth and – because physics is a fairly simple science – we were able to calculate that it was going to hit Earth on 3 June 2072, and we knew that its impact was going to wipe out 70% of all life on Earth, governments worldwide would marshal the entire planet into unprecedented action. Every scientist, engineer, university and business would be enlisted: half to find a way of stopping it, the other half to find a way for our species to survive and rebuild if the first option proved unsuccessful. We are in almost precisely that situation now, except that there isn't a specific date and there isn't an asteroid." Then there would be a large number of people who didn't expect to be around in 2072 and didn't want to give up what they currently have in the mean time. There'd be the people who denied the asteroid existed. And then there would be the 5 Bn people who didn't even know about the asteroid and were mostly focussed on getting enough to eat and drink to survive another day. Of course a world of 4B or 2B or 1B people in 100 years might well be a more pleasant place. But nobody will talk about the process of getting from the current 7B to the peak of 10B to a sustainable 1B. Because it ain't pretty.

Teapigs. Both the Chai and Chilli Chai are excellent. But I seriously baulk at £4 for 15 bags. I mean, WTF? Natco Masala. A good spicy tea with a bit of bite. But there's a lot of pepper in there and the bags are quite low quality so you get a lot of dust. Hard to get except in the two big supermarkets at the bottom of Brick Lane. Luckily they do some big packs so you don't need to buy them too often. Palanquin spiced tea. ISTR these are ok, although I haven't had any for a while. Seem to be quite widely available in Asian corner shops. Twinings, Tesco, Sainsburys. These are all just a bit tasteless. Not nearly enough cardomum, clove, coriander and so on.

I like a good strong Italian style taste without it being too aggressive. - Mainstream. Tescos Italian Blend, Lavazza Black, Carte Noire. These are all perfectly serviceable, easily available, every day, fine filter or expresso grinds that just work and are predictable. - Algerian Coffee Shop, Soho, London at http://www.algcoffee.co.uk/ "Formula Rossa" their main blend that they use for the take away coffee they serve in the shop. Straight forwards and recommended. Ideal for an Americano "Cafe Torino" For a stronger Expresso/Ristretto cup, try this one. It's a bit more aggressive than the Formula Rossa. "Velluto Nero" After Dinner Expresso. Gorgeous but too much for every day drinking. A note about grinds. I find a straight expresso grind works best. In the Algerian Coffee shop that's a "4" on their machine. Finer than filter or french press, but not so fine that you get finings and dust in the bottom of the cup. Water Temperature. After the choice of coffee this is the single biggest factor in the quality of the end product. You need to aim for 80-85C. This is tricky without spending huge amounts on clever kettles or messing around with thermometers. Any higher than that and you'll "burn" the grounds and make the coffee more bitter. The simple trick is to boil about 750ml of water (1/2 a kettle?) and then wait 30-60 seconds after the kettle turns itself off. So don't start assembling the Aeropress, coffee, filter, mug and so on until the kettle has boiled and by the time you're ready to pour in the water, 60 secs will have gone by and you'll be about right. Spares. http://www.hasbean.co.uk http://ablebrewing.com Rubber bungs, filter caps, filters, stainless filter disks, tote bags, etc, etc. The stainless filters didn't really work for me. The paper filters are cheap and easier and just work. There's a rubber travel cap but it's a bit inconvenient and only really works for storing a few days supplies of filters in the plunger. Cleaning. Just empty the Aeropress immediately in the bin and wipe the base of the rubber bung under the tap. Then store it either in two pieces or with the piston all the way through so the bung isn't under pressure. Otherwise the bung will eventually take a set and won't seal any more. It's pretty much self cleaning so just a quick rinse is all that's needed. Recipes. Don't bother with all the complication. Don't worry about pressing air though the grounds. Don't bother with the upside down method. If your cup is too small to fit the aeropress in the top, use the hexagonal funnel. White Americano or filter coffee. This is the typical every day mug of coffee. Put on your 750ml (ish) of water in the kettle. When it boils get the mug, aeropress and stuff out of the cupboard. Assemble the paper filter and cap and set it on the mug. Add a 15ml scoop of grounds. Fill slowly with hot water to the 3 mark. Give it a quick swirl with a spoon to settle the grounds. Wait till it drips so the surface is down to the 2 mark, say 20 seconds. Insert the plunger and press gently down till the grounds are squashed. Add a splash of milk. Empty the aeropress and wipe. Done! Enjoy! Double expresso. As above but 30ml of coffee grounds which is the scoop that comes with the Aeropress. Fill with water to the 2 mark. Let it drop to the 1 mark and press. Thermos. I have a stubby 15fl oz, 400ml thermos which holds about 2 mugs worth. 30ml or 45ml of grounds, fill to the 4 mark. Press when it drops to 3. Add milk till it's the right colour. Top up with boiling water. Improvements. I struggle to think of any! I think there's potentially a redesign that makes it easier to travel with the kit and a week's supply of filters and coffee. Perhaps the cap could screw onto the other end of the plunger. Just occasionally the seal doesn't quite work between the main cylinder and the cap. I'm not quite sure where it leaks from but it can lead to dribbles down the side of the mug. Anyway. If you haven't tried one and you like coffee then get an Aeropress. for making one or two cups of coffee it's way better than Cafetieres, Mocha stove machines, drip filters and so on. And it's considerably cheaper and easier than expresso machines. And even if the pod machines are convenient, they're just WRONG. The old school filter coffee machines still work best for 4 mugs and upwards. So I really don't think there's anything better for small quantities.

[from: Google+ Posts] A coffee puzzle.
Go into a cafe in any provincial French town before about 11am and you'll be able to get "un petit café créme avec un croissant" and consume them standing at the bar. If you're greedy you can have "un grand café créme" and a pain au chocolat. But look on the internet, even in wikipedia and all discussion of coffee is by Americans and trying to find recipes for the authentic café créme is impossible. The Petit is typically in a large/double expresso cup. The Grand is often served in something more like a small soup bowl. They both involve expresso and hot milk. But they are both emphatically NOT a latte, capuccino, flat white, Cortado or any of the other hundreds of white coffees. And they would never involve cream or that horrible American concoction, Half''n'half. It's quite likely that the milk is skimmed and may even be UHT. So how do you make them? I think, as follows. Un petit café créme: One shot of Expresso, slow pulled into a large expresso cup, usually brown outer, white inner, with a saucer. Add approximately equal quantities of warmed semi-skimmed milk that's just been hit by the steam pipe to get it hot but before it starts frothing. Un grand café créme: Two shots of Expresso, slow pulled into a giant coffee cup or small soup bowl. Roughly two to one hot milk to coffee brought to a point just before it boils and froths.

http://longnow.org/seminars/02006/mar/10/long-term-trends-in-the-scientific-method/ ""Science is the way we surprise God," said Kelly. "That's what we're here for." Our moral obligation is to generate possibilities, to discover the infinite ways, however complex and high-dimension, to play the infinite game. It will take all possible species of intelligence in order for the universe to understand itself. Science, in this way, is holy. It is a divine trip." And it makes me want to throw up. Are Americans unable to discuss anything without invoking the sky god? Dig a bit deeper and there's only two ideas here. Enough to generate a book and lecture tour though. 1) Exponential growth is awesome 2) The Shapers will beat the Mechs. So Bio-tech is where it's at. The first is obviously true but there's a refusal to look at the implications as though 3% PA growth in global GDP is some kind of immutable and inevitable law of the universe.

I've also told the stories of accelerating change. Especially in the run up to Dec 2012. And I'm still fascinated by the implications of exponential growth with short doubling periods. But as I get older I wonder where the change is. In many respects 2014 doesn't feel that different from the 1974 of my youth. 2054 could easily be more like 2014 than different. But that presupposes continuing 3% growth in global GDP with sufficient available energy to fund that growth. And that's something I increasingly doubt is sustainable for another 40 years.

Are we closing in on a future where we are all Palestinians and this music is just reflecting that? That's a pretty dark view.

The food was good, the service was good. One of out sandwiches was delayed when the cook just didnt like the looks of it....but all and all a good experience.

Story Highlight
The singer has branded the whole case a "horrific and disgusting entrapment".
Tulisa's drug trial has collapsed and the singer has branded the whole case a "horrific and disgusting entrapment".
The dramatic turn of events happened when Judge Alistair McCreath told the Crown Court he thought, prosecution witness Mazher Mahmood, had lied.
Telling the jury that the case 'must go no further', Judge McCreath said there were "strong grounds to believe" that Mr Mahmood had "lied" at a hearing before the trial started.
Tulisa was first arrested in June 2013, after one of The Sun newspaper's undercover reporters, Mr Mahmood, claimed that she arranged a cocaine deal. Claims, which Tulisa has always denied.
Today, reading a statement outside Southwark Crown Court, she once again strenuously denied those claims, saying: "Let me be perfectly clear. I have never dealt drugs and never been involved in taking or dealing cocaine."
Tulisa also went on to say that she had been tricked by the journalist and that she had believed she was auditioning for a film role. They "produced this as evidence when I thought it was an audition." she explained.
The Sun newspaper has now said that Mr Mahmood has been "suspended pending an internal investigation".
Read Tulisa's full statement below
"Let me be perfectly clear. I have never dealt drugs and never been involved in taking or dealing cocaine.
"This whole case was a horrific and disgusting entrapment by Mazher Mahmood and the Sun on Sunday newspaper.
"Mahmood has now been exposed by my lawyers openly lying to the judge and jury. These lies were told to stop crucial evidence going before the jury. This evidence shows that I told Mahmood's long-standing driver that I disapproved of drugs, which is the truth."
"It is clear that the driver was pressured to change his statement to strengthen Mahmood's evidence and to damage mine.
"Thankfully the lies have been uncovered and justice has been done.
"This case only happened because Mahmood and his team tricked me into believing I was auditioning for a major movie role.
"They targeted me at a time when things were going badly for me and they had no mercy.
"Mahmood got me and my team completely intoxicated and persuaded me to act the part of a bad, rough, ghetto girl.
"They recorded this and produced this as evidence when I thought it was an audition. It was a terrible thing to do.
"As my lawyer said at the outset, we have now succeeded in exposing the real culprits and, most importantly, the real liar.
"As someone who has had my life ruined for the last year I strongly believe that this type of entrapment should not be allowed to happen to anyone.
"I urge both the police and News UK to investigate Mazher Mahmood and his team and to put an end to his deceit in pursuit of sensational stories for commercial gain.
"I have not been able to work for a year, and I am now looking forward to resuming my career.
"I will use these experiences to make me stronger. I would like to thank all the people who have supported me through this terrible ordeal, including my fans and, of course, my legal team."
"Mahmood has now been exposed by my lawyers openly lying to the judge and jury. These lies were told to stop crucial evidence going before the jury, "

Officials from Haier Philippines traveled to the company's Davao City operation last week for the opening of an expanded administrative center and showroom. The Sun Star Davao described the new office as much larger than the previous office in Lanang. It will interface with Haier distributors and will serve as the company's main office for the Metro Manila area. The showroom allows buyers to view the Haier brand and Sanyo-brand appliance lines. Haier Group Corp. completed its acquisition of Sanyo's refrigerator, washing machine, and other consumer electric appliances business in Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, in 2012. Haier Philippines' Renato Castillo, Assistant General Manager, Sales and Marketing, told the Sun Star's Antonio L. Colina IV that Sanyo had been selling appliances in Davao for 20 years; Haier entered the market after the Sanyo acquisition. Haier and Sanyo appliances sold in the Philippines include washers, refrigerators, LED TVS, and air-conditioners. Source: Sun Star Davao

Flags of TouhouCommentsThese flags have a great design, and are pleasing to the eye, if you don't mind, I could draw some inspiration from these.
I make flags aswell, although in a different program; Walfas Create.SWF. Hi, could you send me the pds effects on the flags? And I would be happy if you sent me a pack their brushes. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
These all look very impressive (I might see about printing one or two and hanging them on my wall). Are you doing all of the characters? (Are there any chances of a Kanako flag?)
It is definitely my intention to design a flag for every character, but I cannot say for certain when one for Kanako would be finished (there is a draft I have for it though).
If you are planning to print them for use as a real flag then I suggest using clean vectors (without the textures and shadows). I can upload these if you let me know which ones in particular you intend to print. Thanks! These are amazing! I especially like Rumia,Mamizou,Utsuho,Eiki,and Miko's flags.You have real talent ^_^

I Now Pronounce You Mr And Mrs...
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Long gone are the days where the ownership of a daughter was passed to her new husband, along with 30 head of cattle and 3 hectares of farmland. Name change was non-negotiable and the world would know she was under new management when her father's name gave way to her husband's. Fast forward 400 years and the reasons why women still take their husband's name are increasingly complicated and constantly evolving.
In the 70s and 80s American women made a political statement by keeping their name, and brides who changed names were not supporting the cause. Since the late 90s what was once old is new again, and many are surprised to learn there has been a steady resurgence in traditional marriage name change over the past 2 decades. More women are ditching their life long brand, but their reasons are far from political.
Overall, fewer women are walking down the aisle, and later in life, so one might assume they would be more attached to their name? Not so, according to recent surveys from Easy Name Change [ https://www.easynamechange.com/florida/ ], a global name change company. 'New brides are motivated by sharing a connection with their new family' says president, Genevieve Dennis. 'Those who get married consider it a very serious commitment and want to reflect that commitment in all they do.' In their recent survey, almost 90% of brides were motivated to change names so the whole family could share the same name. 85% also agreed that changing names was a sign of commitment to their new family. On the flip side, should a bride keep her name it's not to make a political statement, but for valid personal reasons, usually to do with career or business.
Dennis has always been fascinated with people changing names and saw a unique business opportunity 5 years ago. In these days of increased identity security, the paperwork required to inform companies of a new name is plentiful. Her company automatically collates, personalizes and delivers the necessary name change documents required by US companies and government agencies. 'We get some very interesting insights to cutting edge name change' she states. Dennis confirms that brides are increasingly taking their husband's name and stop using their maiden name altogether, but there are emerging trends and these days, anything goes. Men take their bride's names, couples blend parts of both surnames together into a new hybrid name, or some couples just take a totally new name, particularly if there isn't a strong association between the groom and his father.

establish confidence in causal inference, but alone, the biomechanical studies do not provide the mechanism.
The basic science studies that document damage and injury mechanisms provide biological plausibility for the associations from the biomechanical studies and epidemiologic studies. The biomechanical studies alone, while elegant, have limitations in that the measurements are more intrusive and obvious than observations in the casual work environment. This intrusiveness limits the generalizability of measures and the implication of findings for the ambient work environment. The epidemiologic findings based on broad population data, however, provide context, indicating that the data from the biomechanics studies are neither isolated nor irrelevant. Although each type of study can be criticized as limited, it is the pattern across the different study designs and types of measures that affects the ability to consider the relationship as causal. Moreover, the strength of the evidence is significantly enhanced by the consistency associated with the pattern of evidence. For example, low back disorder risk has been established through epidemiologic studies for work that involves heavy lifting as well as other risk factors. The relative risks have been derived from a rigorous evaluation of the literature and have been found to be reasonably strong and consistent. Furthermore, the studies control for confounding and indicate a presence of temporal association and dose-response relationships.
The epidemiologic literature that specifically quantifies heavy lifting shows that risk of injury is greatest when loads are lifted from low heights, when the distance of the load from the body is great, and when the torso assumes a flexed, asymmetric posture. Thus, risk estimates significantly increase when work risk factors can be classified with greater precision. These studies typically have relied on more precise endpoints (such as injury logs), but they have limitations to the extent that they have not involved prospective assessments. A number of such studies have the limitation that the results are based on self-reports of injury.
Collectively, a pattern emerges demonstrating that risk is associated with specific characteristics of the workplace. By exploring the biomechanical basis for this risk, the pattern of evidence becomes even stronger. Biomechanical studies have shown that the loading of the spine is increased dramatically when a load is lifted from a low height in an asymmetric posture. According to the basic biology tolerance literature, the spinal load tolerance is also greatly reduced when the torso is positioned in a flexed posture or torsion is applied along the axis of the spine. Basic biological research has also described how spinal loading can lead to cell death within the disc. Furthermore, the basic science literature has described pathways for the perception of pain when specific structures in the spine are loaded under these conditions. Finally, intervention studies

Fake IRS giving you threats and wanting to know your sensitive information.
Reported on Sep 25, 2014
SALT LAKE CITY – Officials are warning Utahns about a new phone scam where callers impersonate the IRS. Residents who have received the scam call said the person on the other end is aggressive, demands payment and threatens jail time or other punishment. If you get a call from the number (202) 609-7070, the Internal Revenue Service is warning you not to answer the phone. IRS officials said those who call from this number are impersonating IRS agents and demand payment, usually for fake tax liens. Authorities said the phony agent, who usually has a heavy accent, will call or leave a voice mail saying you owe money to the IRS and if it isn't paid immediately you will be arrested. The IRS says they have received about 100,000 complaints to date about the scam and more than 1,000 people have lost an estimated $5 million from the fraud. The IRS said it will never: Never ask for credit card, debit card or prepaid card information over the telephone Never insist that taxpayers use a specific payment method to pay tax obligations Never request immediate payment over the telephone and will not take enforcement action immediately following a phone conversation. Taxpayers usually receive prior notification of IRS enforcement action involving IRS tax liens or levies If you get a call you believe to be a part of this scam, the IRS urges you call 1-800-366-4484 to report the incident. Utah residents can also call 1-800-829-1040 to report the scam calls. For more information on phone scams and how to avoid being defrauded, visit irs.gov.

Message left on cell from (800) 829-1040 on 9/10/2014 (women with a strong indian accent): "This message is intended for Lewis. Hi this is Nancy Smith from the Internal revenue services IRS The reason and the purpose for my call is just to let you know that we have received a legal petition notice against your name and that your social security number. before this matter goes to the federal claim court house and you are arrested, kindly call us back on our number 202-609-7028. Thank you and have a great day." I returned the call on 9/12/14 to number left and it was answered by a man with heavy accent. He told me that the IRS had audited me for 2005-2010 tax returns and was suing me and that there were many counts of tax fraud filed in my name. The charges range from tax evasion, social security misrepresentation, money laundering and cyber fraud. No money was asked to be sent, but they wanted me to be home so that I could receive subpoena and be served with papers. Also, I would be arrested and taken in to jail and all my property and bank accounts would be seized. The man suggested that I should have a criminal tax fraud lawyer to represent me. Some personal information had been read to me so I believed that it might be true. Also, because I had owed back tax on a cashed-out retirement acct, I thought maybe it had something to do with that. He kept asking if I understood the charges and if I had any questions, but I kept saying no...I need to get off the phone and call a lawyer right now! I really was freaking out and could not continue the conversation with this man so I hung up so that I could call a criminal attorney. Once off the phone I immediately called the IRS from the number on the IRS official site. After speaking to I RS I felt much better because they confirmed none of the charges. I did try calling the 202 number back, but it went to voice mail and the vm box was full.

Hi all!
I've recently (read: one week ago) planted some carrot seeds direct into pots, and... nothing!

May be too deep. Just barely cover them or press them into the surface and you might also cover the surface with a piece of cardboard, newspaper or something to help keep it uniformly moist for a few days. Remove it and look each day and when they start coming up good, leave it off. Be sure that you have viable seed. You might put a few on a damp paper towel and put it into a zip lock bag to see of those sprout. Good luck and let us know how it goes. |

Sorry, I forgot to address the last question. There are a number of watering wands or sprinkling cans that have heads with very small holes. That coupled with low water pressure will help some in keeping from disturbing the plants and knocking them around. If they are in pots that can be set into a container of water and bottom soak, that will wick the water up into the pot and could be done till the plants were big enough to withstand normal watering techniques.

Carrots usually take longer than a week to come up for me, sometimes as long as 3 weeks. They take longer to germinate than most other veggies I grow. Give them some more time and they may be fine. I've read they will not germinate if the soil is over 95F. Soil at 40 C would be too hot. (Kinda ridiculous we still use Fahrenheit temps here in the US, in my opinion.) Your could try shading the soil to help keep it cool enough for good germination. Hot air temps don't alway have to result in similar soil temps. Are you planning to grow them to maturity in the pots or intending to transplant them? Carrots do best direct seeded into the spot they are to grow. Roots often are crooked or forked if they are transplanted. If you need to move them be extra careful and try to not disturb the root. I water young carrots and beets in the garden with a nozzle set to a very fine gentle mist. It takes awhile to get them wet enough but keeps the seedlings happily in place. |

When planting carrots I always use a 1 X 4 to cover the seed. It will protect then from a pounding rain or with no rain it will keep them moist to sprout. Takes about a week. |
Thanks for the info guys! Will give it more time and try shading them. I will also check the seed is viable. naturegirl, I will be growing them to maturity in the pots, but thanks for the info about transplanting. So much to learn! Thanks for the help! Bunks |
I sowed some carrot seeds in December and I remember they took aaaages to show up- weeks longer than any other seeds from the same time period. They seem to be doing fairly well now though, or at least looking like actual carrot leaves. I'm glad to see you've just sowed some now, it reminds me that I should get right onto a succession sowing. Bring on the weekend! I'm going to try sheltering them this time as well as it's been a summer of downpours and my seedlings have been getting knocked around woefully. |

Today's Dragon Tip
Alternate pairs With version 4.0, Sudoku Dragon now supports the Alternate Pair strategy, letting it spot and explain the use of X-Wing and Swordfish in any Sudoku puzzle. Read More |
Sudoku Puzzle Types [Page 4 of 15])When you have solved several regular Sudoku 9x9 puzzles you may wish for a bit of a change. Although Sudoku Dragon offers a range of ten different puzzle sizes from the humble 4x4 up to massive 20x20 and six levels of difficulty for each size, the solution process can being to feel much the same. Our Sudoku Stripe is just one of the variations on the Sudoku theme offered by the puzzle solver. The stripe consists of an ordered row, column or region hidden somewhere in the grid. In this case (a 12x12 puzzle) it is hidden in column j. In addition to the Stripe, Sudoku Dragon offers some stranger alternatives. The first one is closely related to the stripe, but instead of an ordered row there is a nine letter word hidden somewhere in the grid as a row; column or region. Letters are used instead of numbers, and the letters to choose from change from one puzzle to another. In the following example Sudoku word puzzle there is the hidden word DIPLOMATS in row B. So at the same time as using the Sudoku strategy you can be wracking your brains for anagrams! Adding the diagonals of Sudoku as two additional groups, so that all the numbers must be unique in each diagonal as well as all rows; columns and regions, adds a some more complexity. Now a square on the diagonal belongs to three sub-groups and not just the normal two. The end effect is that X-Sudoku or Diagonal Sudoku puzzles can be a welcome change. The fourth puzzle type provided by our Sudoku solver software is more of a challenge. In this variation the normal square or rectangular regions are replaced by odd shapes. Each region still has the same number of squares as the rows and columns; and so many but not all of the Sudoku strategies still work. It is often termed 'Jigsaw' or 'Squiggle' Sudoku to emphasize the odd shapes of the regions. The Two out of Three strategy no longer works and the shared subgroup rule needs to be adapted. A row (or column) no longer has the same number of shared squares as its neighbors. Sudoku Dragon devises a new jigsaw pattern each time it generates a puzzle. So you may need to rethink your solving strategies a little each time. Samurai Sudoku is another type provided by Sudoku Dragon which consists of five overlapping puzzles. The square grid has not one but up to five regular Sudoku puzzles, but some of the squares are shared between them. Samurai can make a very difficult challenging puzzle. We provide a 8x8 (with 4 numbers and 3 sub-puzzles) and a 21x21 (with 9 numbers and 5 sub-puzzles) sized version. For more information on these and other variations of Sudoku visit our puzzle type page.

I found some undercabinet lights that I really like, and they are plug-in.
I would rather have them hard wired to a switch on the wall I can change to a duplex. Is it possible to hard wire them?
Help please experts!!! |

The short answer is no, you can't simply cut off the plug. You need to find fixtures that are designed to be hardwired. |
Check with the manufacturer. Some companies have the small power supplies dual listed. You can always put receptacles controlled by a switch in the cabinets and then plug the lights in. |
The mfr. probably makes both versions, but your supplier/store just had the one in stock. Make them do a little work and order you the one YOU need. |

Hi Contessa, I asked a similar question last year and got some very helpful answers, linked below. I thought the link may be more helpful because you can read a variety of opinions instead of just one. I tend to agree with the two-month wait theory, because accidents do happen and some well-intentioned people can just become unexpectedly sidetracked by things in life that are more pressing than seeds (I know, I know, it is very hard to think of what those things may be....) Hope it helps! |

Why wouldn't she just say "yes", or "no"? I have been very polite in all of my e-mails. Even joking about the mailman being on vacation between her and I. Hopefully, she is just behind (because I REALLY! wanted those seeds, LoL) I really wanted the seeds form trader #3 as well. Trader #2, I really only just wanted one of the seeds she was sending, because I didn't know how to turn down a trade I wasn't interested in at the time, LoL. Oh well, there are plenty more seeds in the garden, (...fish in the sea....):-) I will just try and trade for them again. On the search for more seeds...... Carrie |

Carrie, I hate to say it but I have had 5 trades lost in the mail this year. The traders contacted me and I resent them and that time they received them. I trust the traders that I am dealing with as I have traded with some of them before. One of the traders we have traded 2-3 times this year and she didn't get the last trade for some reason. I resent them and she received them in 3 days. So who knows. Needless to say I have gotten very frustrated this year with the post office. Sad part is it is not a postage issue as I have each and every mailer double checked at the time of mailing. Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one with lost mailers. Perry |

I know the USPS does audits on the count of mail and parcels that are processed, but it seems they should maybe do an audit on just how many letter, bubble envelopes, and parcels just never arrive. I'll bet the number would maybe be alarming. I'm wondering if it might be a regional thing or something....sigh...best quit b4 I start twitchin. Carrie, I suggest you just hang in there and I suggest you not use the GW email system for any additional emails as it is so often unreliable...sigh. I do hope though that you will eventually receive the seeds, or get things worked out...and regardless of the outcome you will eventually post to The Rate and Review Forum with the facts. Sue...rbb |

Thanks for all the input. heirloomer - I am sorry for your troubles. That is A LOT of lost envies!!! I would go talk to your post office if I were you. Sue - Surprisingly, since I've posted this, lots of activity has happened. Lots of e-mails, although some weird explanations!!! have come up. I would like to thank ronnie17 for his generosity in sharing his seeds with me to help replace what was lost in a trade. He did not want a trade in return, nor postage. He just wanted to share out of the goodness of his heart. I will continue to keep you all updated, and I will be leaving comments on the "R&R". Carrie |

OK, I have decided to not leave any negative comments on the "R&R" forum, as since I've posted this, I have gotten e-mails and am working through things. 2 of the trades came in yesterday. I do have to say that I am not very happy because one was postage due, and full of the wrong seeds. The other had most of the seeds in which we had agreed upon, but they are the size of grain (which I knew that is what they would be) however, there are only maybe 4-6 seeds in each little packet, if that. Hopefully germination will be great! I'm sure this post makes me sound like a big ol' grouch that is never pleased. OK I am stepping down off of my soap box now. Carrie |
