Excellent hotel, elegant and beautiful
This is a beautiful hotel with enormous villas. The villas were nicely designed, there are minor little maintenance and cleaniness issues (mildew at shower faucet handle). Service was excellent, prompt and attentive. We did a private yoga class which was not so great, room was dark and small, teacher was late. We complained and they waived the fee. We later learned we could have scheduled yoga on the beach which would have been great. The beach and pool attendants are excellent! Food was excellent as well. We went into town which was not as nice as the hotel. Overall a wonderful place for vacation.

We took a taxi into town at Playa del Carmen. It was very touristic and not very nice. The hotel recommended a seafood restaurant which was okay, not great. Food was better at the hotel.

Words cannot describe how incredibly luxurious and beautiful this place is! The service surpasses anything I have ever encountered. Everything about the accomodations, surroundings,food and the people far exceeded my expectations (which were pretty high going in, based on the reviews I had read). I've been to many wonderful resorts throughout the years but this one truly stands alone. I'll be going back as soon as my wallet can stand the strain!!

Self employed taxpayers may wonder why their tax rates seem higher than for individuals who are employed for companies. They may also find themselves perplexed by a self employment tax rate of 12.4% and a government that requests they pay 15.3%. The reason for this is simple. The IRS basically puts Social Security and Medicare taxes together into one self employment tax. The rate for Social Security is currently 12.4%, and Medicare is at 2.9%. Medicare tax is applied to income no matter how much one earns, whereas Social Security has a $106,800 cap. Any income above that is not taxed by Social Security.
In order to report self employment tax, a taxpayer must fill out IRS Schedule SE and submit it along with a 1040 form. Self employed individuals can claim the Earned Income Tax Credit when they file Schedule C with their 1040. They may also be eligible for a self employment health insurance tax deduction. This allows these taxpayers to deduct the cost of their health insurance. There is also an above-the-line deduction that can be taken when figuring adjusted gross income. One can deduct one half of one's self employment tax from their income tax on Line 27 of IRS Form 1040.
Who has to pay self employment taxes? Anyone that is self employed with net earnings over $400 must pay this employment tax. Church employees begin paying when their incomes are greater than $108.28. Independent contractors and sole proprietors can use Schedules C or C-EZ to calculate their net earnings to see if they qualify for paying the self employment tax. Family caregivers who provide services to the elderly or disabled individuals are usually considered employees of those individuals. Special rules exist for these workers. For questions on these and other rules and deductions, it is recommended to speak with a qualified tax professional.

by Dave Bar If you've got a slender sound bar or two small satellite speakers, here's a great way to mount them neatly and cleanly on top of your flat-panel TV without drilling holes in your wall. This Center Stage speaker shelf kit includes two mounting brackets that attach directly to the top of your TV to provide a stable platform. The brackets can be spaced as close or far apart as needed for optimal speaker placement or sound bar support. Each 5" x 5" shelf includes a 6" high support leg that tightens against the back of your TV to keep the shelves securely in place. You can also adjust the mounting screws to angle the speakers or sound bar down towards your listening position for better sonic performance. The shelves are fitted with foam strips to protect the finish on your TV, and come with non-slip mats to keep the speakers from sliding.

Center Stage Written By AaronZ, SE Wisconsin on Friday, August 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love it, works perfectly for my front left and right surround speakers. Pros: Love it!!! Cons: None
Works great for soundbar. Written By Tom T, Salisbury, NC on Friday, February 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This speaker shelf kit worked perfectly for me, I was going to home brew some sort of bracket but it would not have looked as nice as this kit. It is well made of quality material and engineered to work when placing a soundbar on the top of a flat panel tv. It is easy to assemble and adjust and I would think would work well with most speaker applications. I will say that these products by Center Stage are over-priced but if you need them for a special application they work well. Pros: Quality material, they work Cons: Over priced..

Conversation Between Chairman Kaga and 22sa
Showing Visitor Messages 1 to 10 of 61
February 4th, 2012 11:43 PM22saFat cats <3
Nope, it doesn't show as a .gif on Safari. =(
Nisemonogatari? All right.
I'm not doing much, studying math and Japanese on my free time, flirting with girls over the internet mostly youtube. -
January 20th, 2012 08:53 PMChairman KagaHey! I totally slipped up on keeping the VM convo alive again. My bad. I finally found my camera so I'll have lots of adorable fat cat pix to you as recompense.
Have you seen the avatar in motion? It's Kanbaru Suruga from Nisemonogatari, good anime if you can handle tons of dialogue and a touch of questionable content. Did the animation myself, I can finally create gifs in Adobe ImageReady without the use of a tutorial. Success!
You up to anything lately? -
January 19th, 2012 10:15 PM22saSup, cute new avy
January 8th, 2012 07:12 PM22saAll's good on the cleanliness front then. What about their claws? ;o;
Oh, R.I.P. But congrats on Poppy. I'd hug Poppy all the time ;o;
Did you watch Clannad?
I don't watch TV. :\
I don't have a convincing business solution either. -o- *cough* Not enough talent.
At least you know you can be a trade guy. Apply for jobs in that area, keep practicing, and maybe a productive opportunity will open up one day. -
January 3rd, 2012 09:18 PMChairman KagaIndeed, cats are fastidious bathers. They spend a significant portion of their day licking their fur clean, so they're always nice and fresh (and sometimes slightly wet).
Sad news, my oldest cat died on New Year's Day. He was two months short of 16. That morning, he got the strength to crawl under the Christmas tree, after which he entered his death throes and passed about 15 minutes later. It was very hard to watch, and I'll always have a hole in my heart as he's been my lifelong friend, but his suffering is over. His death will ensure that a future kitten that I adopt will have a life that it otherwise wouldn't have had.
My little fat cutie's name is Poppy. My sister has insisted on the past couple of cats having floral-themed names, though this one kind of works because she's a calico so she has the same orange and black coloration as the flower. I would have pics except I misplaced my camera for a week or so.
Glad to hear you're doing okay, I'm understandably not in the best emotional state right now but I'm managing. I'll want to continue on as long as there's some new game or anime that catches my eye, which there fortunately always is. About opening a business, it's always been a personal aspiration. My parents were antique dealers when they were younger and if nothing else passed the ability to buy low and sell high on to me. One of my favorite shows on TV is Pawn Stars, which airs on History here. Not sure if you get it up there. It follows a family of pawn brokers in Las Vegas who do millions in business each year because of their sharp acumen. I've always secretly dreamed of a life where I peddle treasures and oddities in a quaint little shop. Problem is most people I meet who are living that dream are independently wealthy and do it as a hobby in their declining years, not as a source of income.
I really don't know what kind of business I'd get into if I couldn't just be a buy/sell/trade guy. -
January 2nd, 2012 05:05 PM22saCats clean themselves?
lol What's the new fat cutie's name?
I'm fine, stirred some trouble here and nothing, nothing exciting. Ever thought about running a business of some sort? -
December 30th, 2011 10:31 AMChairman KagaOh hey, looks like I disappeared again.
It's a shame about the cat, in my lifelong experience they don't smell at all outside of the litterbox, which can be contained in a closet or other small space. Cats are more concerned with personal hygiene than virtually any other animal considering that they try to bury their feces and spend large portions of their day bathing themselves. It sounds like your dad might just be adverse to the idea of pets in general. Keep fighting the good fight, though.
My newest cat is now legitimately fat, she can barely go airborne when she jumps. It's adorable, I'll send pics.
How have you been lately? -
December 25th, 2011 12:54 PM22saLol, my proposal was rejected. Dad says the cat would stink up the house so bad he won't be able to sell it. What do you say to something like that? xD
Then I proposed Guinea Pig but he said those smell too. -
December 17th, 2011 10:46 PM22salulllll .... I forget my plants too. >< They've all died except this cactus, and it's a half-dead cactus.
Cats = independent you mean?
I don't find dogs nearly as cute. Guinea Pigs and Hamsters are awesome too!
LOL Okay I'm going to ask if I can bring a cat back home tomorrow and raise it. Muhaha! I hope I succeed.
So they don't lose their hair or anything when they die?
I don't think I've ever seen anyone even over 2 meters x_X
Umm... that's sounds just like playing the stock market. Too complicated for me -o- -
December 17th, 2011 01:27 AMChairman KagaTrust me, the house is only pretty at Christmas. It's a drab, soulless, cramped little abode the rest of the year. As far as plants go, not really. I used to keep cacti in my windowsills, but they all eventually died. Plants are strictly for the backyard now.
No other pets, I could easily become someone that has even more cats, though. I have a severe soft spot for stray animals and, well, cats just complement my personality. I don't dislike dogs (although I have a phobia of large dogs), I guess I just value independence over loyalty.
15 is the upper end of the average lifespan, 20 is statistically improbable. Lucky cat. My old cat just has a defeated look in his eyes, his legs and neck are also becoming scrawny while his chest becomes larger as he has congestive heart failure. It's a sad thing to behold, as he's been my constant companion since I was 8.
This particular cat has always been very large but not necessarily fat; just in body structure he's abnormally sturdy and big, bigger than some dog breeds. This was part of his downfall as his greater mass wore him out more quickly...same principle as 2.3+ meter tall people dying early because their hearts can't effectively circulate blood through their body, I suppose.
Fat cats are indeed quite huggable, though. My youngest cat is quite fat, though not from overfeeding. Female cats have a high probability of permanently gaining a lot of weight after being spayed, which happened to this one. She's squishy and just a pleasure to hold and cuddle.
About selling, it's really just games and dvds. Find something at a flea market, pawn shop, or yard sale for an abnormally low price, buy it, hope to sell it for more than what I paid. It's not always fun but I've managed to sustain my hobbies after having no income for a year and a half.
All times are UTC -8. The time now is 08:05 AM.

I have to write about something that's a big part of me, well at least my gayness, but I really don't get it. Maybe some of you can help?
I have a gear fetish. I get hard looking (and thinking) about guys in jockstraps-especially with cups-and sports uniforms. And if I can see their underarms...damn that makes me superhard! When that happens, as much as I don't want it to it makes me feel like a freak.
Of The Rejects I'm the smallest and the oldest, and believe me size MATTERS. I'm barely five foot tall, and guys my age don't want to play sports with me anymore because I'm a little kid to them. It's tough, because I've been into sports my whole life and now the only thing I can do is cross country and track. At least there something I can participate in! I used to play spring and fall baseball, but now "I need to grow some" before I tryout again. The day I was told that by a baseball manager I ended up crying myself to sleep.
My body is at Tanner Stage 1, and damn it sucks to even think about that. I really don't know how the Mohel managed to give me a Bris because there's not much there to work with. I don't think condoms come in my size either. Even Drew's stuff is bigger!
I think the first time I noticed gear was when I was in the locker room after last period gym changing and a older football player came and in stripped in front of me, and when I saw him in his cup my heart started beating so hard I thought I was going to die. He was so close to me that I could smell him and when he left to go pee I snatched his undies and hid them in my backpack. At home I thought about what I saw and after a lot of debating sniffed his undies and I got that funny rapid heart beating again and touched myself. The sensation I got was so strong that I fell asleep and was woken up by my worried Mom. I remember her telling me I needed to go to bed earlier!!!!
I have a small collection of pics of guys my age in gear (no porn) and the other Rejects have even let me take pics of them in gear too, for...well... inspiration. (Dante looks so damn hot in a wrestling singlet, and Drew in a basketball uniform...real inspiration there!). I've been able to talk to them about how I feel, and we really don't keep secrets from each other. I'm sure some of you are wondering if we "do" anything, and yeah we do. That's how much we trust each other. it's not like I have many people interested in a "little boy" like me.
Do anyone else have this issue, and if you do, how do you cope?
SO, don't feel bad about it. Human nature is human nature. What exactly do you mean by "cope"?

Hi, Noah! I think what you're dealing with is normal, you're starting to have gay feelings and what catches your eye is seeing guys showing more skin and other parts than you'd see otherwise, like in your classroom. Lots of guys have the same interest, and even when I see a cute guy in the tight Under Armour gear I pay attention too!
I have a close hetero friend who's only attracted to a woman when she has her hair tied back, he doesn't understand it but that's his thing. So far his girlsfriend's have been accepting of that.
Smelling a another guys undies? Straight guys do that with girls too, their (private) scent can be a turn on and stimulating too. I've sniffed all of my friends undies at one point, and it's not that weird. Swiping them wasn't a good thing to do, but I'm sure you just got caught up in the moment.
There's lots of guys still at Tanner stage 1 at your age, and everyone will develop at the time their body makes it happen. When you see your doctor make sure you bring up any concerns you have about your body, and you can ask your Mom to leave if it makes you more comfortable. Males are notorious for not bringing up concerns when they're with the doctor, so go ahead any ask what you want!
My body stopped growth between Tanner stages 3 and 4, and if I had asked my doctor about it things may be different for me now?
I hope you and your friends will keep writing on here, your stories are interesting and I think it's the first time a group of friends have co-authored journals on here. I'm eagerly anticipating where you all will go next on here!
You sorted out you were gay by seeing guys changing in locker rooms, so it easily transferred over into what trips your wires sexually. Not much to sort out there.
If you're under 18, it is still best to seek gearshots featuring young-looking 18+ guys, since the law doesn't see any difference between child pornography if you are the same age as the person in the photos. If you sleep with someone your age, you're fine. Take a naked picture of them, and it's illegal because they're under 18. Just something to consider. There are certainly enough young-looking models out there. You'll sort it out.
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
I can say that I sympathize with you, as well. When I thought I was a gay man, I discovered my love of male genitalia via the locker room (although there were plenty of less-attractive sights in there, too), and for ages I was engrossed by similar things as yourself.
As for 'little boys', taking that as either short or small, there are people who like that. In fact, there are people (like myself) who don't really care about size or shape in general, because for us sex brings primarily emotional and mental pleasure as opposed to physical. The physical is also a bonus.
And even then, you should keep in mind that if it exists, someone has probably fetishized it (for better or for worse). I've seen some weird shit out there (having been with a lot of folks and being willing to do nearly anything, I think I may have seen MOST of the weird shit out there), and being 'little' is certainly the least interesting and not rare at all.

But I have promises to keep,

Actually, I think I've overcomplicated things, and completely missed my mark by including chapter 7 (it just didn't matter to be specific for 7, but it might in the future). Doesn't help that my understanding of this conditional xsl is nil. Basically, I need to keep '<screen><userinput remap="install">...' for all of chapters (4?) 5 and 8 unconditionally. The conditional tests should only apply to chapter 6 and the bootscripts page in chapter 7. If usedestdir='n', then I need to omit all instances of '<userinput remap="destdir">.' If usedestdir='y', then I'll need to omit all lines containing the '<userinput remap="install">.' Hopefully that is a little more clear than my previous jumbled logic. -- DJ Lucas

RING-VORTEX (smoke ring) LAUNCHERS
SMALL SMOKE-RING CANNONSMany years ago WHAM-O sold a plastic air-puff gun. The puffs of air could fly across a room and knock over cardboard targets.
It turns out that this gun used ring-vortices, or "invisible smoke rings"
as its ammunition. Also turns out that smoke-ring guns are extremely easy
to make. Take a soup can, cut out the top and bottom, tape a piece of
cardboard over one end, and cut a 1" hole in the center of the cardboard.
Tape a disk of thin card stock or heavy paper over the other end (or
better yet, snip a balloon in half and stretch it across the other end.)
When you gently whack the covered end of your vortex launcher, a transparent ring of spinning air will shoot out of the hole. Aim the device at your face or arm, and you'll feel the puff of air when it hits your skin. __________________________________ / /\ | | | | SOUP CAN | | | | | | | | | | __ | RUBBER | | ( ) | OR ___\ | | (__) | CARDBOARD CARDSTOCK / | | | /___ WITH | | | \ HOLE | | | | | | | | | \_________________________________\/The vortex rings can be made visible with a bit of smoke. I use stick incense, and just shove the end of the stick into the hole for awhile (don't set the cardboard on fire!!)
Tap the bottom gently, and slowly spinning smoke rings will be launched.
Tap it hard, and the smoke rings will zoom so fast that you'll only see a
grey blur. Tap it too hard and you generate air turbulence but no smoke
To see the details of the smoke rings it helps to have bright lights and a
dark background. Work in a darkened room while placing your device
between you and a bright table lamp. The light should shine towards you,
through the smoke, but position things so you observe the smoke against a
darkened wall. Smoke rings are similar to tornadoes, but the ends
of the tornado is curved around so its ends are joined into a circle.
Try shooting slow rings then immediately shoot faster ones. The faster
ones will catch up to the slower ones and move through them (the slower
ones open wider to allow the fast ones to pass.)
Rather than using smoke, you could instead use scent. Any fumes in the
can will end up inside the air in the smoke ring. Try putting perfume in
the can. When you launch your ring vortices, they will be invisible. But
if you target a distant nose, your victim will know when they've been hit.
Or even easier than building the soup-can launcher, K. Larsen suggests using a 1-gallon polyethelene milk jug. Whack the bottom and a vortex ring is launched from the spout. Aim it at your face and you can feel the rings of air hitting you, even if you don't use smoke. Other similar sites:
HINTS FOR SCIENCE FAIRThe vortex cannon is a cool physics demonstration. How can we convert it into an experiment? Easy. Ask a question, change your question into a statement, then perform an experiment to prove or disprove your statement.For example, ask this question: how far can a 4-inch vortex cannon send a ring vortex? Change this into: "A 4-inch vortex cannon can project a smoke ring across xx centimeters." Then do the experiment, and find out what xx is. (PLEASE DON'T USE THIS EXAMPLE AS YOUR EXPERIMENT. THAT'S BORING. BE DIFFERENT. THINK UP A WEIRD AND INTERESTING QUESTION, ONE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER FOR.) GIANT VORTEX CANNONIt's not hard to make a giant vortex cannon. Instead of a soup can, get an old plastic garbage can. Cut a six inch circular hole in the center of the bottom. Put the plastic can cover on the can and whack on the cover to launch vortices. Or better, use duct-tape and a plastic garbage bag to form a sort of "drum head" over the open top of the garbage can.----------------__________________ / /\ | | | | PLASTIC GARBAGE CAN | | | | | | | | | | __ | PLASTIC BAG | | ( ) | OR ____\ | | (__) | 6" HOLE CAN LID / | | | /___ CUT | | | \ IN THE | | | BOTTOM | | | | | | \ __________________\/ --------------- COMPUTER INTERFACE VERSIONSuppose we replace the drumhead with a large bass loudspeaker, hook the speaker to a power amp, and drive the power amp with the output of a soundblaster card? This would give us total control of the impulse waveform applied to the vortex generator. Instead of a garbage can, use a wastebasket for the body of the device, and maybe mount it on a tilt/pan tripod.
I haven't completed one of these devices. I went as far as building the
body, then using an audio power amp and a square wave generator to run the
device. Even this was pretty cool, since the amplifier level
would control
the speed of vortex launch, the duty cycle controlled launch speed and
spin rate (I think!), and the repetition rate of the square wave generator
allowed me to create streams of vortices.
As far as sound cards go, in theory there should be some shapes of pulse
waveform which give very robust smoke rings. I would try creating various
shapes with a waveform editor, then see how far and fast the resulting
smoke ring would travel. It might be possible to vastly extend the
maximum range of vortex travel by designing the perfect waveform.
Here are some waveforms to try. The waveform is a single pulse. The steep leading edge of the pulse creates the vortex. The edge of the pulse would last maybe 1/5 second or 1/10 second or so depending on the size of the hole and the loudspeaker. Also you'll want to try pulses of different shapes. The loudspeaker cone should move forward quickly, then suddenly stop, then slowly return to its original position. The signal pulse would look like this: _____ / -----_____ / -----_____ / -----_____ ______/ -----______________The steep part of the pulse should last about 1/10 second, and the slow part afterwards should last maybe 1/2 second. Feed this signal to an amplifier and a loudspeaker (turn the volume way down at the start, just in case the pulse is so big that it might damage the loudspeaker.) To create smoke rings which fly fast, change the start of the pulse so it looks like this: _____ | -----_____ | -----_____ __/ -----_____ ___--- -----______________It starts rising gradually, then rises very fast, then it stops at the peak. That should make the core of the smoke ring spin slowly, while the outer regions spin fast, and the whole smoke ring will travel quickly forwards. (The outer region of the smoke ring touches the outside air, so if the outer region is rotating fast, it will drive the smoke ring forward at high speed. ) To make smoke rings where the core spins fast, change the pulse so it looks like this: ____ _-- -----_____ / -----_____ | -----_____ ______| -----______________It starts off very fast, then rises more slowly to the peak. That makes the core of the smoke ring spin fast, but the outer regions move more slowly, so the whole smoke ring drifts along slowly. Also, fast-spinning vortices can act as "time bombs", they drift along for awhile and then suddenly shatter into turbulent smoke. Perhaps a particular waveform will make this effect programmable. The resulting smoke rings would move for a particular distance, then shatter into a smoke cloud. A stream of these rings would fly out and shatter, which would allow me to pump smoke out to a distant cloud which just sits there in the air. Suggested experiments w/ programmable vortex generator HIGH-SPEED VORTEX BLIMP, Nov 1999While discussing a friend's small prop-driven helium blimp, I had an
interesting insight: Could we build a blimp which flew like a ring-vortex does? Suppose we made a big stack of disk-shaped helium balloons and
threaded them onto a big thin steel rod, then bent the rod to form a ring.
It would look like a sliced donut. When this "donut" of balloons was
forcibly flung broadside through the air, all of the helium balloons would
rotate, and the air friction would be very low, just like a ring vortex.
If such a device could be motorized, so that the disk-balloons would be
forced to rotate on axis, then the whole affair would travel forwards.
(And if selected sectors of the balloon-stack were run backwards, then the
entire device would turn, sort of like steering an army tank.) Rather than a circular stack of disks, perhaps it could take the form of several large football-shaped blimps, where the tips of the blimps are connected together. Six blimps? Or even four or two. Like this: _______ / \ / \ \ / / \ \________/ / \ / \ / \ "SQUARE DONUT" AIRCRAFT MADE FROM | | | | ROTATING BLIMPS | | | | | | | | | | | | \ / _______ \ / \ / / \ \ / / \ \ / \________/The above "square smoke-ring" craft could go tearing horizontally across the sky like some sort of big silver water-weenie! If the blimps were rigid, turbulence wouldn't tear them apart. To steer, spin one of the blimp-motors a bit faster than the others.
Heyyyyyyy! Maybe they wouldn't need helium! If the "smoke ring" was
oriented horizontally like a donut on the ground, and if the gasbags were
spinning, maybe it would act like a helicopter and drive itself upwards.
It would be VERY quiet since the air flow would be almost laminar. It
would look like a flying saucer. With the large surface area it would
need, it may as well have some helium fill for a bit of extra lift. But
with enough power, maybe helium wouldn't be necessary for flight.
How would it behave? If it was hovering, and if the blimp-motors were
suddenly cranked up fast, it would eject a "starting vortex" and be
strongly accelerated. Being neutrally bouyant, it would only experience
parasitic drag and not "induced drag," and because the surfaces are
rotating WITH the air and perhaps maintaining laminar-flow conditions, the
parasitic drag would be minimal too. The craft would coast along like a
big flywheel, just as smoke-rings do. If the spinning of the blimps was
suddenly halted (use electromagnetic braking and recover their energy!),
maybe it would create another starting-vortex in the air, and would stop
on a dime? Maybe not.
Hmmmm. EM braking. What if the whole thing was powered by electric
motors, so that the kinetic energy of the spinning blimps could be quickly
removed and stored in big internal capacitors? This might give a high-G
acceleration capability.
The whole idea is SO STUPID!! Just think of a 50ft silver donut hovering
erect above the airforce runway. Turn the balloons one way and it moves
forwards. Turn them a different way, and the whole thing rotates.
Everyone laughs really hard. But then the pilot kicks in the
ultracapacitors... and the whole aircraft blinks out of sight. Huh? It
accelerates at 30G and unexpectedly goes tearing across the sky, but
because it is a laminar-flow propulsion system, it is SILENT. Just don't
aim the "exhaust" side of the blimp at a building when you punch the
accelerator, because it launches a huge "starting vortex" which has enough
overpressure to do some serious damage.
Imagine getting into a military dogfight with such a beast. It might not
need weapons. During sudden accelerations it would launch "clear air
turbulences" which would have enough wind-shear to shread conventional
craft into confettii. It would be like battling a UFO that's equipped
with a titanic "Wham-O" air-puff gun!
Hmmm. Can smoke rings move faster than the speed of sound? OTHER STUFFIn messing with the square-wave generator mentioned above, it looks like the "stink gun" is feasible. The vortex launcher emitted a beam of fast smoke rings which went all the way across the room. Lots of smoke drifted out of the generator though, so if I were to put a nasty odor in the device, the operator (me) would suffer as much as the distant victims.
If the vortex launcher emits a stream of vortices, does this drive the
launcher backwards? Is there a reaction force? If so, then hang the
whole device from a helium blimp and use it to drive the blimp forward.
A loudspeaker inside a bucket is a very strange aircraft engine! It's the
Feynman Sprinkler problem, AC version instead of DC. Or use
it underwater. A ship with no propellor, just a big piston, and the
intake and outlet orifices are the same. Maybe even
get rid of the piston and instead use a large bubble. Expand and contract
the bubble using a steam boiler? What if this technology had been
invented long before "ships' screws?" Today we live in an age of
propellors where the Wham-O air blaster is just a toy, but things could
just as well have been the opposite!
Suppose the computer-based launcher created a string of smoke rings with
varying speeds. If the string was made of fast-slow-fast-slow rings, then
pairs of rings would pass through each other periodically, as if they were
square dancing. Or, what if you shot a string of slow-fast-faster-faster
rings? In this case the later rings would overtake the first, and the
whole string might squash down to the length of a single ring. The string
of smoke rings would momentarily become a disk of concentric smoke rings!
If the vortex generator was fairly powerful, maybe this "vortex disk"
would be able to knock over larger objects. The vortex generator sends
out energy in a long stream of rings, but then the varying speeds make it
concentrate into a brief burst. Remember, a stick of dynamite will burn
for hours as fuel, or it will "burn" all at once in a fraction of a
Pure argon gas allows you to create very long electric sparks. When a
stream of argon is sprayed at a tesla coil, long sparks jump up through
the stream. So, what would happen if a string of pure argon smoke-rings
was sent towards a very large tesla coil? Would the arcs jump from ring
to ring, so the "lightning" would reach out and strike the smoke ring
generator? What would happen if a battery-powered smoke ring device (and
an argon tank) was installed inside the oblate terminal of a really large
tesla coil? Hobbyists' directed energy weapon?
A VandeGraaff electrostatic generator with a wire connected to its sphere is a source of charged air. Electrified air flows out from the wire tip. If a VDG was used to supply electrified air to a vortex launcher, the result would be a "static electricity gun". Victims would suddenly feel 'lethal' levels of clothes-dryer cling, and they'd get zapped by anyone they might bump against. If the string of charged vortices was sent to a pop-bottle electrostatic motor, the motor should spin without needing any wire connections. Can you say "perpetual motion hoax?" And if the vortex generator was supplied with pure argon, maybe you'd see a blue flash whenever a charged argon smoke ring touched a grounded object or person. (Note: the body of the vortex launcher might need to be metal, or at least cover the interior with grounded aluminum foil.) |

Just like computers, it's possible for your smartphone or tablet to start having problems where it doesn't work correctly or locks up on you for no reason. When this happens with your computer, many times you are forced to format the drive and reinstall the operating system if nothing else will fix the problem. Smartphones and tablets can have the same issues and it you may have to do the same thing to it in order to get it working properly again although the process to do so is different and some would say easier than on a computer.
It is possible to do a reset of your Android device back to its factory settings for reasons such as giving the device to someone else or donating it to a charity. You may also want to reset your Android to clean it up if you have a lot of apps and custom settings that you don't want anymore and just want it back the way it was when you bought it. Some people reset their Android to get some performance back that was lost after installing apps and changing configurations etc.
Doing a Factory Reset on Your Android will erase all your apps, settings, emails and contacts stored on the phone and so on. If you use Google to backup your data it will put your contacts back on your phone after the reset and reinstall any free apps you got from the Android Market automatically. To avoid having the apps restored automatically you can skip the Gmail setup when asked when you first start your phone. You can add your Google account manually in the system settings later on.
To reset your Android go to Settings, and then privacy. Tap the option for Factory Data Reset. Then tap on Reset phone to confirm. Your phone will reboot and when it comes back up it will be at the factory default configuration. Make sure you have backed up any important data to your SD card of computer before doing this procedure.
This reset does not affect any data stored on your SD card so that information will be safe. If you plan on getting rid of the phone you can also wipe your SD card as well. To format your SD card go to SD card & phone storage settings from the main settings area. Then tap on Unmount SD card and wait for it to unmount your SD card. Next tap on Format SC card to wipe it clean. Some devices seem to have issues doing this procedure so if you can attach your device to your computer then you should be able to format your SD card from your PC.

Ampere | |
Demonstration model of a moving iron ammeter. As the current through the coil increases, the plunger is drawn further into the coil and the pointer deflects to the right.
Unit information | |
Unit system | SI base unit |
Unit of | Electric current |
Symbol | A |
Named after | André-Marie Ampère |
The ampere (SI unit symbol: A; SI dimension symbol: I), often shortened to amp,[1] is the SI unit of electric current[2][3] (quantity symbol: I, i)[4] and is one of the seven[5] SI base units. It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.
In practical terms, the ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit per unit time, with an equivalent charge to 6.241×1018 charge carriers (or one coulomb) per second constituting one ampere.[6] Ampere is a measure of flow rate of electric charge. If we increase the number of charged particles, the charge on the particles, or the speed at which the particles are moving past a specified point, the amperes at that point will also increase.
Ampère's force law[7][8] states that there is an attractive or repulsive force between two parallel wires carrying an electric current. This force is used in the formal definition of the ampere, which states that it is "the constant current that will produce an attractive force of 2 × 10−7 newton per metre of length between two straight, parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross section placed one metre apart in a vacuum".[2][9]
The SI unit of charge, the coulomb, "is the quantity of electricity carried in 1 second by a current of 1 ampere".[10] Conversely, a current of one ampere is one coulomb of charge going past a given point per second:
In general, charge Q is determined by steady current I flowing for a time t as Q = It.
The ampere was originally defined as one tenth of the CGS system electromagnetic unit of current (now known as the abampere), the amount of current that generates a force of two dynes per centimetre of length between two wires one centimetre apart.[11] The size of the unit was chosen so that the units derived from it in the MKSA system would be conveniently sized.
The "international ampere" was an early realization of the ampere, defined as the current that would deposit 0.001118000 grams of silver per second from a silver nitrate solution.[12] Later, more accurate measurements revealed that this current is 0.99985 A.
The standard ampere is most accurately realized using a watt balance, but is in practice maintained via Ohm's law from the units of electromotive force and resistance, the volt and the ohm, since the latter two can be tied to physical phenomena that are relatively easy to reproduce, the Josephson junction and the quantum Hall effect, respectively.[13]
At present, techniques to establish the realization of an ampere have a relative uncertainty of approximately a few parts in 107, and involve realizations of the watt, the ohm and the volt.[13]
Proposed future definition[edit]
Rather than a definition in terms of the force between two current-carrying wires, it has been proposed to define the ampere in terms of the rate of flow of elementary charges.[8] Since a coulomb is approximately equal to 6.2415093×1018 elementary charges (such as electrons), one ampere is approximately equivalent to 6.2415093×1018 elementary charges moving past a boundary in one second, or the reciprocal of the value of the elementary charges in coulombs.[14] The proposed change would define 1 A as being the current in the direction of flow of a particular number of elementary charges per second. In 2005, the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) agreed to study the proposed change. The new definition is expected to be formally proposed at the 25th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 2014.[15]
Everyday examples[edit]
The current drawn by typical constant-voltage energy distribution systems is usually dictated by the power (watts) consumed by the system and the operating voltage. For this reason the examples given below are grouped by voltage level.
Portable gadgets[edit]
- Hearing aid (typically 1 mW at 1.4 V): 0.7 mA
Motor vehicles – 12 V DC[edit]
A typical motor vehicle has a 12 V battery. The various accessories that are powered by the battery might include:
- Instrument panel light (typically 2 W): 166 mA.
- Headlights (typically 60 W): 5 A each.
- Starter motor (typically 1–2 kW): 80-160 A
North American domestic supply – 120 V AC[edit]
Most United States, Canada and Mexico domestic power suppliers run at 120 V.
Household circuit breakers typically provide a maximum of 15 A or 20 A of current to a given set of outlets.
- 22-inch/56-centimeter portable television (35 W): 290 mA
- Tungsten light bulb (60–100 W): 500–830 mA
- Toaster, kettle (1.5 kW): 12.5 A
- Hair dryer (1.8 kW): 15 A
European & Commonwealth domestic supply – 230-240 V AC[edit]
Most European domestic power supplies run at 230 V, and most Commonwealth domestic power supplies run at 240 V. For the same amount of power (in watts), the current drawn by a particular European or Commonwealth appliance (in Europe or a Commonwealth country) will be less than for an equivalent North American appliance.[Note 1] Typical circuit breakers will provide 16 A.
The current drawn by a number of typical appliances are:
- 22-inch/56-centimeter portable television (35 W): 145–150 mA
- Tungsten light bulb (60–100 W): 240–450 mA
- Compact fluorescent lamp (11–30 W): 56–112 mA
- Toaster, kettle (2 kW): 9 A
- Immersion heater (4.6 kW): 19-20 A

You do realize, don't you, that Archbishop Gregory's house is fairly modest when compared to the estates of many of our "public servants" (as most politicians refer to themselves)?
The lesson from Archbishop Gregory's house is that even devout people can succumb to sin. Don't let these examples taint your view of all Christians, most of whom you never notice because they are living quiet and humble lives, serving their communities and tolerantly loving their neighbors of all persuasions.

WOW...there's a police stand on a crane at Phipps...it's too dangerous to even shop in this city anymore.
Anyone notice Archbishop Gregory never mentions seeking God's direction in the disposition of his house? That's very telling.
Since the judgment of the Archbishop is that poor that he lives like a king on the backs of the poor, he is not qualified to lead the diocese. I am calling for him to step down.
Whatever happened to "sackcloth and ashes?"
Why don't the 5 right-wing Supremes just say it - they want the rich to be able to buy politicians.

Spy photos of GTX780, GTX770 appear online
Fudzilla also has some information about the hardware.
Nvidia's next-generation of graphics cards may only be a month away, according to new rumors and some recent spy shots.
The Geforce 700 series was slated to not be released this year, but rumors kept on circulating around the internet of a mid-2013 release, but with current technology. A forum user on Chiphell has now surfaced with some shots of the GTX770 and the GTX780, both using the same cooler design found on the GTX Titan.
Our Mandarin is almost non-existent (Hurrah for Google translate), but there are no details on the actual cards or what's powering them. The cooler designs are both identical to the GTX Titan, employing a single blower fan with a heatsink covering all the memory chips and capacitors, with a metal shroud and plexiglass over the heatsink itself.
Fudzilla, however, seems to think that the GTX770 is merely a stock GTX680 at a lower price. In turn, they quote anonymous sources claiming further that the GTX760 Ti will be a slightly cut down GTX680, the GTX750 Ti will be a rebranded GTX670 and the GTX660 Ti will fill in for the GTX750. If that seems a bit absurd, they also claim that the GTX780 will be a cut-down version of the GTX Titan on a 256-bit memory bus.
No details were mentioned about the Titan itself changing, so it will likely remain at its price point as it's not really a Geforce product, but a repurposed Tesla K5000. There were no details regarding a dual-GPU Geforce 700-series card, so it's now a waiting game to see what happens next.
Fudzilla also said their sources mentioned a May 16 reveal for the "new" Geforce family.

Keep up to date with the latest news and updates from Mary Free Bed.
When this happens, alternative methods are used to maintain proper urine drainage. These methods include:
When the patient starts to be aware of bladder fullness or the urge to urinate, a bladder-training program is started. This is usually started during the day when the patient is most alert and oriented. The patient is placed on the toilet every two hours and asked to urinate. Gradually, the time between one urination and the next is increased to a pattern similar to the way it was before the brain injury. The patient is taught and encouraged to use the call light to signal the nurse when he or she needs to urinate. Finally, depending on the safety of the transfer and ambulation skills, the patient is encouraged to use the toilet independently.
Fluids are encouraged during the training process. They help prevent infections, kidney stone formation, and dilute the urine, which minimizes strong urine odor. Water is the best fluid. Juices are also acceptable. If needed, fluids are restricted after 7:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. to allow the patient to get through the night without an accident.
Sometimes medications are used to help restore bladder function. They are usually antibiotics to prevent or fight infections. Signs of infections are dark, cloudy, and foul smelling urine; sediment, mucus or blood in urine; fever; chills, painful, and frequent urination; fatigue and general discomfort. In some cases, drugs are used to help the bladder contract or to relax longer, to help the sphincters open and close properly.
Normal bowel elimination may be a problem. This normal process can be interrupted as a result of:
Our goal is to help the patient establish a routine bowel pattern and prevent complications such as diarrhea and constipation.
The first thing the rehabilitation nurse will do to help the patient regain normal function is to establish a regular pattern of elimination at the same time every day or every other day. After meals, and when a patient has time to relax is the best time for the bowel program.
Bowel training is done to prevent constipation, diarrhea, and incontinence. Impaction is the term used to describe persistent constipation that causes the rectum to become plugged with stool. Usually the nurse will use an enema or suppository to break up the stool and remove the mass. Then softeners, fluids, exercise, or bulk agents are used to keep the bowels moving.
Diarrhea occurs when waste moves through the intestines too quickly. Little water is absorbed into the intestines and the stool is watery. Medications, tube feeding formulas, certain foods, and even stress can cause diarrhea. A change in the bowel pattern will usually control it.
If the patient's anal sphincter doesn't open because the brain isn't sending a strong signal, a nurse may try anal stimulation. A lubricated finger is inserted into the anal sphincter to cause dilation. The patient may eventually be taught to do this. (Most common in spinal cord problems.)
Good nutrition helps bowel elimination function normally. Water keeps the stool from getting too hard. If the patient isn't able to drink water, the nurse will supplement the tube feeding with extra water. Bulk provided by foods high in fiber helps push waste through the intestinal system. Fresh fruits and vegetables or bran cereals and muffins are good sources of fiber. Some tube feeding formulas contain a fiber supplement along with other nutrients. Activity, in general, helps the bowels move. Patients are encouraged to be up and doing as many things for themselves as possible.
Quite often the medical team will use various medications and supplements to help achieve normal bowel function such as stool softeners, laxatives, bulk-providing agents, suppositories, and enemas.
Time and adjustment is important. Total success may not be achievable during early rehabilitation, and in some cases, bowel incontinence remains an around the clock nursing care need.

It was announced today that the current series of Merlin will be the last as BBC One's hit show reaches a spectacular conclusion this Christmas. The epic family fantasy drama will bow out with a special two-part finale, as this unique re-telling of the Arthurian legend reaches its natural and dramatic end – it's not to be missed!
Merlin has been enthralling audiences on Saturday nights over last five years, consistently attracting an average audience of over six million viewers, with ratings for the current series peaking at 7.1 million.
Merlin has been a firm favourite with BBC One viewers since its first outing in 2008. Celebrated for its magical storytelling, cinematic visual effects and most of all the wonderful cast which includes Colin Morgan as Merlin, Bradley James as Arthur Pendragon, Katie McGrath as Morgana, Angel Coulby as Guinevere, Anthony Head as Uther Pendragon, Richard Wilson as Gaius, and John Hurt as the voice of the Great Dragon.
Co-creators and executive producers, Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy, confirm the current series will be the last: "This is the series where the storylines truly reach their apex. We always felt the story of the legend was best told across five series, leading to a spectacular finale that draws on the best known elements of this much-loved story and brings to a conclusion the battle for Camelot.
"We'd like to thank the amazing cast and crew for their professionalism and dedication, the BBC, FME and all of our partners globally for their incredible support and encouragement across the last five series.
"But chiefly, our thanks go to Merlin's remarkable and loyal audience around the world for their enthusiasm for the characters and Camelot universe."
Danny Cohen, Controller, BBC One, said: "Merlin's mix of magic, adventure and humour quickly became a hit with BBC One audiences and has continued to thrill families over the last five years on Saturday nights. I admire the creators' decision to end Merlin on a high, but also know that we will miss it in the BBC One schedule.
"On behalf of BBC One I would like to thank Shine and all those involved in the making of the show both on and off screen. I hope fans will tune in over the coming weeks to see the spectacularly dramatic final episodes, and we have ambitious plans for new drama in the Saturday evening slot in 2013."
Colin Morgan (Merlin) said: "From the beginning this was always going to be a five year journey that we embarked on and I think the show has run its natural course. The show has grown and grown each year and now we've arrived at its strongest point and we've achieved what we set out to do… I know this is the end, and I know this is goodbye, but thank you for being there on the journey with us because it has been a lot of fun!"
Bradley James (King Arthur) said: "The Merlin years have provided me with fond memories, great experiences and beloved friends and all the while we were supported by a devoted fan base who made the show a unique, surreal and special experience. My words won't do justice to the honour of being King Arthur so I shall just say that it has been an exceptional one and that knowing the show has been a part of so many people's lives, has been humbling."
Katie McGrath (Morgana) said: "I have always said the success of the show has stemmed from our audience being able to relate to the characters on different levels - being based on the universally loved Arthurian legend is only a tiny part of its success - it's a story about acceptance and growing up. The breathtaking finale of this series leaves you with no doubt that characters have been on their journeys and had their stories told - it's completely the right time to draw our telling of the story to a close."
Angel Coulby (Guinevere) said: "It has been a very special and memorable five years making Merlin. I feel extremely proud to have been part of such a brilliant show and such a great team. I think we've told the story we set out to tell, which ends with the fantastic two-part finale by the way! I believe the key to any successful show is making sure you leave people wanting more!"
Richard Wilson (Gaius) said: "Firstly, I would like to say that I'm extremely sad that Merlin has come to an end. Speaking as Gaius, I feel I have mentored the young wizard as far as I can - he is much smarter and greater than me now and I am simply exhausted!"
Other memorable cast include Mordred (Alexander Vlahos) and the brave Knights of the Round Table Sir Leon (Rupert Young), Sir Percival (Tom Hopper), Sir Gwaine (Eoin Macken) and the late Sir Elyan (Adetomiwa Edun).
Merlin has attracted an astounding array of guest stars including Michelle Ryan, Santiago Cabrera, Emilia Fox, Asa Butterfield, Mackenzie Crook, Adrian Lester, Warwick Davis, Miriam Margoyles, Eddie Marsan, Will Mellor, James Cosmo, Lindsay Duncan, Janet Montgomery, James Fox, Tom Ellis, Nathanial Parker, Michael Cronin, Charles Dance, Gemma Jones, Sarah Parish, Miranda Raison, Ben Daniels and John Lynch.
Across five series writers Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Lucy Watkins, Howard Overman, Ben Vanstone and Richard McBrien have taken the characters on a spectacular journey.
Series five opened to a Camelot at the height of its 'golden age', but a menacing omen overshadows Arthur's future and unknown threats emerge from within the castle walls. Now everything Merlin has tried to protect is in danger. Albion's dark trial has begun and the final battle has been joined, but who will survive?
Do not miss the last ever episodes and the dramatic conclusion of Merlin on BBC One, Saturdays at 8pm.
Merlin is executive produced by Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy for Shine Television, with Bethan Jones executive producer for BBC Wales. The series is a BBC Cymru Wales Production and was commissioned by Ben Stephenson, Controller BBC Drama Commissioning and Danny Cohen, Controller BBC One.
Created and produced by Shine TV, Fremantle Media Enterprises (FME) are an investor in Merlin and hold the exclusive distribution (excluding UK), home entertainment and licensing rights to the property.

Used in an antique candelabra type chandelier. These bulbs mimic an old world gas light type appearance, so they fit perfectly while still providing more than adequate light. I have 5 bulbs in the chandelier and it lights up a 13 x 15 dining room quite well.

WASHINGTON — Douglass National Bank, Kansas City, Missouri, was closed today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was appointed receiver. Douglass National Bank's primary market was Kansas City, Kansas. The bank, with approximately $53 million in assets, was established in 1983 and was chartered as a national bank in 1997.
The OCC acted after finding that the bank had experienced substantial dissipation of assets and earnings due to unsafe and unsound practices. The OCC also found that the bank had incurred and is likely to incur losses that will deplete all or substantially all of its capital, and there is no reasonable prospect that the bank will become adequately capitalized without Federal assistance. The bank's unsafe and unsound practices also weakened the bank's condition and seriously prejudiced the interests of the bank's depositors and the deposit insurance fund.
The FDIC will release information about the resolution of the bank.
