Recent studies have argued that mobilization is not only an important determinant of individual participation, but that it can explain the mystery of declining voter turnout in the United States over the past 40 years. We identify and evaluate three possible ways in which mobilization might have affected levels of turnout over time: (a) aggregate rates of mobilization may have declined, (b) the effectiveness of mobilization contacts may have declined, and (c) the targeting of mobilization may have changed. The first two theories have been well articulated in the literature; the third has not. We find no evidence of a decline in mobilizing activity, nor do we find that mobilizing techniques have become less effective. Although we find that campaigns are more likely to target habitual voters in recent years, this pattern of behavior can only explain a small amount of the overall decline in turnout.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Local's love of tennis rejuvenates sport at Norwood
The Norwood Tennis Program is in the midst of a huge resurgence. By the end of August, over 180 kids will have participated in its Norwood Community Centre Tennis Camps.
The popular camps focus on tennis, but include all kinds of sports and games, followed by a daily afternoon swim at the Norwood Flood Bowl pool. Wheelchair tennis players also participate.
Not long ago, the Norwood shale courts were a drab, deteriorating, weedy mess due to years of poor maintenance and lack of interest from the neighbourhood.
The once successful and busy courts needed a new champion.
Then along came Norwood Flats resident Brian Pound, whose commitment and tennis savvy turned the rapidly declining courts into one of Winnipeg's tennis hubs.
Brian, an avid tennis player from Australia, immigrated to Winnipeg in 1992 and settled in the Flats with his family in 1997. He was disappointed that his neighbourhood courts had been left to ruin. He was determined to do something about it.
In 2007, he approached the Norwood Community Centre Board with a plan to restore the courts and create a viable tennis program for the community. With enthusiastic support from the board of directors, Brian secured over $100,000 in grants from the city, province and the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres.
The Board requested a maintenance-free space, so asphalt was the way to go. Brian added colourful eye-catching Plexipave coatings that ensured durability and a better ball bounce.
Abandoning those shale courts was tough, even though they required much maintenance — weeding, dragging and watering the shale were daily labours. Folks from the early days talk fondly about that unique clay court tennis experience.
In our era of video games and smartphones, he believes that tennis is a great way to hook youth into being more active. "I want to expose kids to tennis in the hope that they become lifelong players. It's fun, affordable and great exercise. "
Brian also offers progressive tennis programming for children of all ages. The tennis camps offer smaller courts along with different-sized balls and racquets for developing bodies and skill levels to ensure that players have success and enjoy the game immediately.
Mark Arndt, executive director of Tennis Manitoba, says while the sorry state of some city courts may be "driving people from the sport," Brian's Norwood model offers a powerful exemplar for building tennis interest and participation in a local community.
He also knows that Brian is the driving force behind Norwood's success. "Brian is an energetic, enthusiastic visionary for the sport. He is a champion in the tennis community," he said.

Prairie FolksShe was in the box; he was far above in the gallery. He looked down and across and saw her sitting there fair as a flower and robed like a royal courtesan in flame and snow. Like a red torch flamed the ruby in her hair. Her shoulders were framed in her cloak, white as marble warmed with firelight. Her gloved hands held an opera glass which also glowed with flashing light. His face grew dark and stern. He looked down at his poor coat and around at the motley gallery which reeked with the smell of tobacco and liquor. Students were there-poor like himself, but with great music-loving, hungry, ambitious souls. Men and women of refinement and indomitable will sat side by side with drunken loafers who had chanced to stumble up the stairway. His eyes went back to her. So sweet and dainty was every thread on her fair body. No smell of toil, nor touch of care, nor mark of weariness. Her flesh was ivory, her eyes were jewels, her heart was as clean and sweet as her eyes. She was perfectly clothed, protected, at ease. |

The best known and oldest resort on the Algarve is Praia da Rocha and it's no wonder with its expanses of sparkling sandy beaches, bright blue waters and spectacular sandstone cliffs it has been a favourite Portugal holiday location since the 1930s. Nestled on the west of the Algarve, Praia da Rocha holidays are ideally located for sun, sea and fun with an incredible natural landscape and all the activities and facilities you'd expect from a bustling resort of the popular Algarve.
The cliffs, which tower over the coast and have the fifteenth century promenade at their peak, have been worn away by the warm Atlantic waters leaving the town's beach framed by these unusual and eye-catching rock formations. With pinnacles, buttresses and caves with crystal clear waters, sparkling under the summer sun, it's not hard to understand why Praia da Rocha is favoured by tourists and ex-pats alike. The ideal place for a vibrant vacation with a difference, a package holiday to Praia da Rocha promises a bustling busy resort but with the option to get back to nature just footsteps away.

Bars & Cafes
»East End Grill
With the kitchen open until 2a every day of the week, this pub is a great place to get a late-night burger and fries with a cold beer. Also on the menu here are steaks and salads, seafood and soups. A popular nightspot on the weekend, the patio fills up fast with regulars when the weather is agreeable. The East End offers a casual, friendly atmosphere for dining and drinking, and a happy hour every evening from 4p-7p.
»Getaway Sports Bar
This sports bar offers plenty of entertainment for spectators and participants alike. With four pool tables and six electronically scored dartboards, there's rarely a wait to play your favorite game. The casual atmosphere of the Getaway encourages patrons to kick back and relax. The favourites in the menu of Getaway Sports Bar include fried shrimp, hamburgers and snacks and is available throughout the day—perfect when jet lag makes you hungry at odd hours.
»Sports Pub
Out-of-towners who do not want to get involved in local sports rivalries will enjoy this pub. It attracts fans for a variety of teams, both college and professional. With nearly 20 televisions tuned to sports, there is a quite a lot for fans to choose from. The bar also features a large selection of beers, both domestic and imported. A cigar menu is available, too, in this smoker-friendly bar. Located along the east Memphis corridor, it is a convenient watering hole for patrons from nearby businesses and hotels.
Amerigo caters to sophisticated customers, ones who may have visited Florence, Italy, and who yearn for the simple, flavorful foods and classic interiors of that region. Dark wood paneling adds to the centuries-old European building effect. The wood-fired pizza oven makes this a great place to come on a chilly winter night. The dinner crowd is affluent East Memphis. As for the food, the mussels in broth make an outstanding appetizer or whole meal. Pasta portions are huge, so you can take the leftovers home for lunch the next day. Order the planked fish of the day to share—it comes with wonderful wood-smoked mashed potatoes and vegetables. Desserts include tiramisu and a credible key lime pie!
»The Half Shell
Everything from seafood to burgers can be found on the menu at this casual East Memphis restaurant, which also features a friendly bar and attracts a large under-30 crowd. Order an icy margarita to sip while waiting for one of the seafood specialties to be brought to your table. If you're more the steak-and-potatoes type, try one of the hand-cut steaks. Reservations are recommended on the weekends at this popular eatery.
»Cactus Jacks
Cactus Jacks is the perfect haunt for those late-night parties with friends. The popular nightclub plays the latest dance numbers, but more of country music. The crowd is generally hooked to the dance floor, and at the bar, booze keeps flowing through the night. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual. However, with the binging and dancing, a next morning hangover is guaranteed!
»Belmont Grill
A cool, dark stop on a hot Memphis day, this place is a regular East Memphis haunt. During the Great Depression, turnip green sandwiches were sold at this location, but the fare has improved greatly since then. The burgers are a cut above the usual and the aroma of char grilled burgers fills the air. This place is also known for sandwiches, such as the catfish steak and the po' boy. Follow up your meal with some key lime pie. The servers here will make you feel like a regular.
»The Bottom Line
The parking lot is packed most nights at this watering hole, which sits between East Memphis and Germantown. Situated just off Poplar Avenue in a shopping center strip, this cozy neighborhood bar has become a favorite stop for the growing East Memphis business set. Many use it as an after-work place to meet with friends from the office or to bring visiting clients. Weekends offer an eclectic assortment of live music played by local bands from the Memphis music scene, with no cover charge.
»R. P. Tracks
Steps from the University of Memphis campus, this hangout draws undergraduates for the beer, graduate students for coffee, and faculty for a good sandwich and conversation. The food consists largely of nachos, various fried things in baskets, and big and juicy hamburgers. Other choices include the portobello mushroom sandwich and the turkey melt. The decor is made up of rough wood floors, tables with graffiti carved into them, a pool table, videogames and sports on the TV. Customers dressed in anything more formal than college student-grubby may feel out of place. The full bar specializes in shooters and imported beer.
»Java Cabana
Before you go inside Java Cabana, stop and look at the window for a few minutes. Drop a few coins in the Elvis Impersonator's shrine to see what happens. After you have soaked in the memorabilia and hodge-podge collections, go inside for an experience right out of the beatnik era of the '50s and '60s. If you are lucky, you will be there for one of the frequent poetry readings by local writers, or some retro music played on acoustic guitar. Oh, yes—the coffee's pretty good,too. No alcoholic beverages served.
»Poplar Lounge
This bar located between Midtown and East Memphis has boasted a Memphis rock and roll dive bar cool since 1978, and hosts local and touring bands weekly.
»Alchemy Memphis
Alchemy Memphis lives up to its name by crafting amazing cocktails. Sip on a Hound Dog, made with bourbon, peach, ginger, lemon, and mint, or opt for a Gincident, made with gin, vanilla, lemon juice, and mango. The atmosphere is trendy, featuring a sleek decor. The food here is worth the visit in itself. Dishes like the beef sliders and roasted asparagus with Parmesan are made for sharing, while larger plates like the seared diver scallops and espresso-rubbed pork chop make for a filling meal for one.

Five Below, Inc. Updates Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2013 Guidance Based On Quarter-to-Date Results
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Five Below, Inc. (Nasdaq:FIVE) today updated previously communicated fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 net sales and earnings guidance based on quarter-to-date results for the period from November 3, 2013 through January 4, 2014.
The Company announced that net sales for this nine week period increased by 25.4% to $185.3 million while comparable store sales for this period decreased by 0.5%. Based on this quarter-to-date performance, the Company now expects net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 to be in the range of $208 million to $210 million, comparable store sales to be in the range of -1.5% to -0.5% and GAAP net income to be in the range of $23.3 million to $24.3 million, with a GAAP diluted income per common share range of $0.43 to $0.45 on approximately 54.0 million estimated weighted average shares outstanding. Excluding $0.9 million, or $0.02 per adjusted diluted share in tax-effected expenses related to the founders' transaction (1), adjusted net income is expected to be approximately $24.2 million to $25.2 million, or $0.44 to $0.46 per diluted share based on estimated adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 54.6 million.
Thomas Vellios, Co-Founder and CEO, stated: "We did not meet our sales expectations for the holiday season as adverse weather negatively impacted traffic to our stores, which are heavily concentrated in the Northeast and Midwest regions. This was exacerbated by the shortened holiday season during which we simply did not make up the weather-driven sales shortfall, especially in those key shopping days just prior to Christmas. In addition, we see room for improvement within certain merchandise categories that underperformed against our expectations. While clearly disappointed with our holiday comparable store sales performance, we continue to be pleased with the performance of our new stores, in particular the performance of the new Texas market."

Must-Have Fall Beauty Trends
Posted by IGIGI on September 23, 2014
We can't take our eyes off of the fall beauty trends this upcoming season. We've got some bad news for the lipstick fanatics out there-the focus for fall/winter 2014 is all about the eyes. Eyes are the feature that should dominate your face for the coming months. With an emphasize on metallic touches, doll-like lashes, defined liner and glowing fresh skin, these make-up trends are sure to leave you feeling unstoppable.
We've seen all sorts of eye-catching make up ideas, from liquid latex lids as seen on the Dior catwalk to extra-long false lashes catching the spotlight at Gucci and Rochas. A natural fresh face certainly remained popular as well, but this time it was either a healthy vibe of glowing skin or the clever sculpting and definition for a perfect take on the bare-faced look. Pair an exaggerated eye with dewey skin and chiseled cheekbones to complete your fall beauty look.
Check out the latest beauty trends for the coming months down below!

WNBA Scores
Saturday, Sep 14th
8:00 PM ET, September 14, 2013
Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
8:00 PM ET, September 14, 2013
Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
As the top seeds in their respective conferences, the Chicago Sky and Minnesota Lynx are arguably the favorites to meet in the WNBA finals.
The winning team in their final regular-season matchup would get a significant advantage should both reach the championship series.The Sky and Lynx will each try to clinch home-court advantage throughout the postseason Saturday night in Minnesota.After facing Chicago, the Lynx (25-8) will try to reach the finals for the third straight time and atone for last season's defeat to Indiana. The Sky (24-9), meanwhile, are heading to the playoffs for the first time in their eight seasons of existence.Chicago, though, can also add the league's best record to the list of its achievements in this breakthrough campaign with a third straight victory over Minnesota.In the only other matchup this season, Sky rookie star and MVP candidate Elena Delle Donne had a career-high 32 points and Sylvia Fowles scored 31 in a 94-86 overtime victory Aug. 11.Delle Donne kept Chicago's hopes for the league's best record alive Wednesday with a buzzer beater in a 70-68 victory over Phoenix. Epiphanny Prince had 16 of her season-high 29 points in the fourth quarter in another comeback win Friday, 87-82 against Atlanta."We feel like these games are preparing us for the playoff atmosphere," said Prince, who was 9 of 16 from the field. "We had a lot on the line, so we wanted to go out there and gut it out."The Lynx are returning home after having a seven-game win streak snapped Thursday with an 85-84 defeat to Los Angeles, the No. 2 seed in the West. Seimone Augustus, who signed a three-year extension Friday, had a team-best 23 points in the losing effort."We've just got to make plays," she said. "That's what it was all about coming to the end of the fourth quarter."While it's lost the past two matchups in the series, Minnesota has won the past two home meetings. The latest visit from Chicago, however, was on June 23, 2012, and Prince was forced to miss that game with a fractured right foot.

He's comical even though his behavior is offensive by times. And he gave his best effort in the ring, fought like a man, and never made any excuses about his little toe after the fight. Haye is a scumbag and an effeminate diva. He's the slimiest, most despicable creature in the sport of boxing. |

Could the VSEAs vision of organized labor as expressed by Steve Howard be any tinier? How about concerning themselves with employee issues such as mobility, flexibility, supporting family responsibilities, telecommuting to expand the available applicant pool, education, training, pay equity. When VSEA stops spending so much time and resource in maintaining incompetent and mediocre employees, and starts returning value to the taxpayers, then the taxpayers will elect pro-union legislators. As a former state employee and VSEA member, I have walked long distances to get to my workplace and have had to cope with blazing hot and freezing cold buildings. Compared to the issues facing Vermonters today, Id be ashamed to identify those as major concerns to define my organization and membership.

We made a one-week reservation, but the entire service experience was strange, beginning when they did not take a credit card to check in. The room was clean, but there were ants in both rooms I stayed in. The cleaning staff kept their supplies in the hallway outside my room and were noisy early in the morning. The internet access was the best part of the hotel, but it did not compensate for the terrible service. After 3 days, I was forced to move to a new room, which was the same room just at the other end of the hallway (but they had warned of this, so that's fine). Then, I returned to my room after work, and the key card didn't work. The front desk staff informed me that I was supposed to check out that morning, but "thankfully they were able to keep me there for one more day." They then said they were full for the following night, and I'd have to leave. I spoke to the manager, who said she emailed and phoned my colleague, but that is easy to verify, and the manager lied. The explanation was that they had to accommodate their "current clients" who had chosen to extend their stay, and they were trying to find alternate rooms for even their current clients. What a way to run a hotel! Beware if you make a long reservation you'll probably have to check out half-way through.

Cl. 13781.5 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fluidic element in which a stream of fluid medium directed between an emitter and a collector is alternately maintained in a laminar or constrained turbulent mode of operation to obtain a sensible pressure recovery differential at the collector to control other fluidic elements or pressure or flow responsive devices. A plurality of fluidic elements is formed in a plate-like member which is combined with a channeled circuit layer such that a plurality of these layers can be stacked one upon another to form integrated fluid logic circuits for achieving highly complicated control functions. Cross references Summary of the invention This invention relates generally to improvements in fluids devices, and more particularly to improved means in such devices which permit the interconnection of a large number of devices in a unitary composite assembly to form integrated fluid logic circuits. A fluid element of the type utilized in the present invention comprises generally an emitter and a collector between which a stream of fluid under pressure is normally maintained, the emitter and collector being disposed at opposite ends of a substantially closed fluid interaction chamber. At least one control port is disposed adjacent to the emitter in position to direct a stream of fluid into the first mentioned stream in such manner as to change the mode of operation of the latter from laminar to constrained turbulent. In the laminar mode of operation, a relatively high degree of pressure recovery is obtained at the collector, whereas in the constrained turbulent mode of operations a relatively low degree of pressure recovery is obtained at the collector, the differential between the two degrees of pressure recovery being readily sensible, either by mechanical devices or by other similar fluidic elements. The fluidic element is provided with a venting means which communicates with ambient atmosphere and through which the fluid escapes when the fluidic element is in the turbulent mode of operation. Heretofore, fluidic elements generally of the type above described, and others similar thereto, have been formed in relatively thin plate-like members by means of appropriately shaped grooves and bores in the plate-like member so as to produce a usable device. It is also known to provide a plurality of substantially identical spaced apart fluid elements which can be interconnected in order to provide a wide variety of fluid logic circuits capable of performing any desired control function. These prior devices have generally fallen into two different categories, in that they either have incorporated ice a plate-like circuit layer having channels therein for permanently interconnecting two more of the fluidic elements, or they have been provided with means for connecting external fluid conducting conduits selectively and changeably to portions of the fluidic elements in order to form a desired fluid logic circuit. A significant limitation of these prior art fluidic devices is that in both of the above-described types, provision is made, on at least one of the broad faces of the plate-like member and/or a sealing cover member, for external connection to fluid conducting conduits which extend from a source of pressure fluid to one portion of the plate-like member, and from other portions thereof to pressure responsive devices or to other fluidic elements. Thus, it has been impossible prior to the present invention to stack a plurality of individual plate-like members one upon another, each incorporating a plurality of fluidic elements, in order to achieve a composite assembly unit making up an integrated fluid logic circuit. Another factor which has prevented achievement of such a composite assembly unit is the fact that the venting means which is necessary for the fluidic element to operate in the constrained turbulent mode has likewise been provided in one of the broad faces of the platelike member or cover member, thereby requiring that such broad face be exposed to ambient atmosphere. These and other limitations of prior art fluidic devices have been eliminated by the present invention, the principles of which are illustratively embodied in a fluidic element generally of the type described above. Thus, there is a plate-like member which the grooves constituting the venting means for the fluidic element are extended to the edge of the plate-like member while remaining generally within or adjacent to the plane of the surface of the plate-like member, thereby communicating with atmosphere at the said edge of the platelike member rather than by means of bores extending laterally through the thickness of the plate-like member. By so venting the fluidic element, or a plurality of them, any member of such plate-like members can be stacked one upon another to form an integrated fluid logic circuit device. In another aspect of the present invention, the composite assembly unit is provided with one or more channeled circuit layers which interconnect the fluidic elements, the circuit layer being composed of a resilent material so as to function both as the circuit layer and as a sealing layer, thereby avoiding the necessity of supplemental sealing layers or gaskets between other rigid members of the composite assembly. It is accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide a fluidic element having an operative configuration such that a venting means forming a part of the fluidic element is not obstructed and communicates with ambient atmosphere although the fluidic element is substantially completely isolated from ambient atmosphere. It is another object of the present invention to provide a fluidic device in which a fluidic element is formed in a surface of a body member having a peripheral edge, and a venting means forming a part of the fluidic element terminates at the peripheral edge for communication with ambient atmosphere although opposite surfaces of the body member adjacent the fluidic element are isolated from ambient atmosphere. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a fluidic device in which at least one plate-like body member is provided with a plurality of fluidic elements and a resilient circuit layer is combined with a plate-like member to provide a fluid logic circuit sealed from atmosphere except at desired points. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a fluidic device in which a plurality of fluidic element plates and circuit layers are stacked one upon another to form unitary composite assemblies having an integrated fluid logic circuit. These and other objects and advantages will be more readily apparent from an understanding of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a plan view, with intermediate portions broken away, of fluidic device constructed in accordance with the principles with the present invention; FIG. 2 is a fragmentary plan view on an enlarged scale of the fluidic element utilized in the device of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a plan view of a portion of the device illustrated in FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a plan view of the circuit layer of the device illustrated in FIG. 1; FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 55 of FIG. 2; FIGS. 6 and 7 are schematic cross sectional views illustrating respectively two modified embodiments of the instant invention. Detailed description Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2 thereof, the fluidic device 10 comprises a generally flat and substantially rectangular plate-like member 12 which is grooved and perforated as hereinafter more specifically described to provide a plurality of substantially identical fluidic elements 14 formed in a surface 16 of the plate-like member 12. As best seen in FIG. 2, each of the fluidic elements 14 comprises an elongate fluid interaction chamber 20 through which the fluid is adapted to pass in either a laminar or constrained turbulent mode of operation. An emitter inlet port 22 is disposed at one end of the interaction chamber 20, and a collector outlet port 24 is disposed at the opposite end thereof. The interaction chamber is provided with at least one and preferably a plurality of control inlet ports 26 which communicate laterally with the interaction chamber adjacent the emitter port 22. Each fluidic element 14 is provided with a main fluid inlet line 28 which communicates with an inlet manifold 30, the latter extending substantially the length of the plate-like member 12, as best seen in FIG. 1. An inlet point 32 is provided in the manifold 30 for introduction of fluid under pressure from any suitable source. Each control port 26 is connected by means of a groove 34 with an inlet point 36 whereby fluid may be introduced into the interaction chamber 20 in a manner more particularly described herein below. Also the collector port 24 is connected by means of an outlet groove 38 with an outlet point 40 which in turn is connected, as more fully described below, to other fluidic elements or to pressure responsive control devices. The fluidic element 14 is provided with a venting means which extends away from the fluidic element in a manner to communicate with ambient atmosphere while the fluidic element 14 as a whole is essentially isolated from ambient atmosphere. Thus, the fluidic element is provided with at least one and preferably a pair of grooves 42 which communicate with the interaction chamber 20 adjacent to the collector port 24, and extend away from the interaction chamber generally in the direction of fluid flow therethrough but laterally of the outlet point 40. The grooves 42 extend to an edge 44 of the body member of the plate-like member 12 and there terminate, as indicated by numeral 46, to communicate with ambient atmosphere. The individual fluidic element above described operates in the following manner: a pressure fluid introduced at the inlet point 32, in a manner fully described below, flows through the inlet manifold 30 and the main fluid inlet line 28 and enters the interaction chamber 20 in the form of a laminar jet. The fluid jet impinges on the collector port 24 with a relatively high velocity which allows a relatively high degree of pressure recovery; output flow proceeds through the outlet groove 38 and outlet point 40 to a point of use. The amount of flow and the degree of pressure recovery are determined by downstream load conditions. Unused flow proceeds out through the vents. If a control fluid is introduced at any one of the inlet points 36, it flows through the connecting groove 34 and is discharged through the corresponding control port 26 into the interaction chamber 20, this control fluid having the effect of changing the fluid jet issuing from the emitter port 22 from laminar to constrained turbulent. In this mode of operation, the fluid from both the emitter port 22 and the control port 26 is vented to atmosphere via the groove 42 and venting outlet 46. The fluid jet from the emitter port now impinges on the collector port 24 with relatively little velocity and corresponding low pressure recovery. By introducing fluid through one of the control ports, the condition of the fluidic element has been effectively changed from on to off. The mode of operation of the fluidic element is changed from constrained turbulent back to laminar merely by terminating the discharge of control fluid into the interaction chamber 20, thereby effectively again changing the condition of the fluid element from off to on. The fluidic device 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 incorporates a plurality of substantially identical fluidic elements 14 arranged in spaced parallel relationship. Each fluidic element is independent of all others on the plate-like member 12 except for the venting means, in which the grooves 42 for each element extend divergently away from the in teraction chamber 20 on opposite sides of the output point 40 to a location where the grooves 42 for any two adjacent fluidic elements merge, as indicated by the numeral 42a in FIG. 2. From this point to the edge 44 of the platelike member 12, the grooved portion 42b is common to the adjacent fluidic elements, with the exception of the fluidic elements disposed at either end of the plate-like member. By this construction the maximum venting capacity is obtained with a minimum amount of grooves being formed in the surface 16. The fluidic element device as illustrated in FIG. 1 can be used in a wide variety of ways depending principally on the type of fluid logic circuit desired. The principal advantage of providing the venting terminal for the fluidic elements along an edge of the plate-like member or element plate, in which the fluidic elements are formed is to facilitate the stacking of one element plate upon another so that a composite unitary assembly can be made up which contains many more fluidic elements than are available on a single element plate. For example a decimal counter might require a circuit logic made up of fifty individual fluidic elements, which could require several element plates stacked one upon another and interconiiected by circuit layers as more particularly desired be- FIG. 5 illustrates the manner in which a typical composite assembly might be made up to form a portion an integrated circuit. Specifically, the element plate 12 is shown in cross section, with the surface 16 containing the fluidic element grooves uppermost. A relatively thin elongate sheet 50 of Mylar or other suitable relatively incompressible but flexible plastic is disposed on the surface 16 of the element plate 12. The sheet 50 as seen in FIG. 3, is provided with suitably positioned apertures 52 and 54 which permit communication between selected points of the fluidic elements and a circuit layer 56 described below. The function of the flexible sheet 50 is to seal the upper or grooved surface of the element plate 12 in the event that the latter is not perfectly flat when a rigid circuit layer is used, and to prevent the circuit layer from being depressed into the grooves of the fluidic element 14 if the circuit layer 56 is formed of a resilient material. The circuit layer 56 is disposed on the flexible sheet 50 and is provided with suitable channels and bores which effectively define a predetermined fluid logic circuit which will communicate between at least two individual fluid elements 14. Thus, the circuit layer 56 illustrated in FIG. 4 is provided with a pair of bores 60 and 62 which are connected by a channel 64, and another pair of bores 66 and 68 which are connected by a channel 70. The bores and channels above described form a relatively simple fluid circuit for a flip-flop which is shown for illustrative purposes only, the operation of which is explained below. Disposed on the circuit layer 56 is a cover or sealing layer 72, which may be a relatively thick layer of a suitable rigid plastic, this layer serving to seal all of the channels provided in the circuit layer except at specified locations where communication must be obtained between the fluidic elements 14 and external sources or end points in the overall circuit. All of the layers above-described are provided with suitably located holes 74 (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4) through which rivets (not shown) may be inserted to maintain the assembly together. A significant feature of the present invention is the fact that the circuit layer 56 is preferably made of a relatively soft resilient material, for example, rubber. Thus the layer 56 functions now only as a circuit layer but also as sealing layer or gasket, thereby eliminating the need for additional gaskets otherwise necessary if the circuit layer 56 is made of a rigid of noncompressible material. To fluid logic circuit illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4- and 5 would operate in the following manner when provided with appropriate external connectors as described below. By superimposing FIG. 3 on FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 n FIG. 3, it will be seen that the holes 54 in the flexible sheet 50 align with the outlet points 40a and 40b of the first and second fluidic elements .14 on the element plate 12, and the holes 52 align with the control inlet points 36a and 36b of said fluidic elements. The holes 60 and 66 of the circuit layer 56 respectively align with the holes 54 of the flexible sheet '50, and the holes 62 and 68 repsectively align with the holes 52. Thus communication is obtained between the outlet point 40a of the first fluidic element with the control inlet point 36b of the second fluid element, and between the outlet point 40b of the second fluidic element and the control inlet point 36a of the first fluidic element. A usable output from the fluidic elements may be obtained by providing bores in the cover plate 72 which are aligned with the bores 60 and 66 in the circuit layer 56, these bores being indicated by the numerals 80a and 80b in FIG. 5. These bores may be provided with any suitable means, such as bosses, to which external fluid conducting conduits may be attached. Similarly, the several layers shown in FIG. may be provided with bores which will be aligned with the main pressure fluid inlet point 32 in FIG. 1 so that such fluid will be supplied through the manifold 30 to the fluidic elements 14. Assuming now that pressure fluid is flowing through the main inlet lines 28 of the first and second fluidic elements, and that fluid flow through the first interaction chamber 2011 has been established in the laminar mode of operation, a relatively high degree of pressure recovery will be obtained at the outlet point 40a and fluid will flow through the aligned bores 54 and 60, the groove 64, the aligned bores 62 and 3 6 and enter the interaction chamber b as a control stream, thereby maintaining the jet of fluid flowing through the interaction chamber 20b in a constrained turbulent mode. At the same time a substantial portion of fluid will flow through the outlet bore 80a to be utilized in conjunction with any desired pressure responsive control function. Thus the first fluidic element is effectively on and the second fluidic element is effectively off. This condition is maintained until such time as a control fluid signal is put into the interaction chamber 20a through any one of the three remaining control fluid ports 26 via an appropriate external connection, such as a series of bores through the several layers abovedescribed which communicate with one of the control inlet points other than point 36a. Such a control fluid jet in interaction chamber 20a will change the main fluid jet therethrough from laminar to constrained turbulent thereby terminating the flow of fluid from outlet point 400! both to the external connection and to the interaction chamber 20b. The latter has the effect of permitting the constrained turbulent fluid flow in interaction chamber 20b to return to laminar, thereby providing fluid flow from outlet point 40b both to an external connection via the bore b and to the interaction chamber 20a through the channel 70, thereby providing a substantial control fluid jet in interaction chamber 20a to maintain the main fluid jet therethrough in a turbulent mode of operation. The first fluidic element is now effectively off and the second fluidic element is effectively on. This condition can only be again reversed by applying an input control fluid signal to the interaction chamber 20b through an appropriate connection from an external source to one of the control inlet points of the second fluidic element other than point 36b. The composite unitary assembly as thus far described may be utilized in the manner just described, or with a more complicated fluid circuit associated therewith. However, by appropriate rearrangement of the several layers of the composite and by providing appropriate interconnections therebetween together with appropriate external connections, a very wide variety of fluid circuits may be obtained which will provide extremely complicated control functions. Referring to FIG. 6, one arrangement is shown wherein an element plate is provided which has fluidic elements formed in its upper face 102. Disposed on the upper face 102 is a sheet 104 of flexible material having a predetermined pattern of holes (not shown), and disposed on the flexible sheet 104 is a first resilient circuit layer 108 having holes and channels in one surface thereof which define a predetermined circuit or circuits which now interconnect at least two or more of the fluidic elements formed in the surface 102. A second resilient circuit layer 110 is disposed directly on the upper face of the first resilient layer .108, the second layer also having holes and channels in one surface thereof which define a predetermined fluid logic circuit or circuits which interconnect either portions of the fluid circuits of the first layer with other portions thereof or directly with selected portions of fluidic elements in the plate 100. A cover or sealing layer 112 is disposed on the upper circuit layer 110 to seal the assembly from atmosphere. The cover member 110 would, of course, be provided with suitable connections for external conduits as described above depending on the type of fluid circuit provided in the circuit layers and the cotnrol functions thereby achieved. FIG. 7 illustrates another arrangement of the parts in which the element plate 200 is an intermediate layer of the composite assembly. Thus, the element layer 200 has fluidic elements formed in its upper surface 202, and a flexible sheet 204 is disposed on said surface, the flexible sheet have holes formed therein at predetermined locations. A first circuit layer 206 having a predetermined pattern of channels and holes formed therein is disposed on the flexible layer 204 so as to interconnect several fluidic elements. A cover member 208 is disposed on the circuit layer 206 and may be provided with suitable connections to external conduits as described above. Another circuit layer 210 is disposed n the lower surface 212 of the element plate 200, the circuit layer 210 also being provided with bores and channels in a predetermined pattern to provide a fluid circuit or circuits batween selected portions of two or more fluidic elements. It will be understood that the element plate 200 must now be provided with bores through the plate at all fluid inlet and outlet points which interconnect with any holes in the lower circuit layer 210. Finally, another cover layer 214 is provided on the lower surface of the circuit layer 210 in order to seal the composite assembly from atmosphere. The lower cover plate 214 may also be provided with bores for connection to external conduits, if desired, or the lower circuit layer may be utilized only to interconnect several fluidic elements, with all connections to external conduits being made through the upper cover member 208. It should be noted that it is functionally immaterial which surface of the circuit layer or layers the interconnecting channels are formed in, whether facing the element plate or away from it, except that this factor may determine whether or not it is necessary to employ a sheet of the flexible but incompressible plastic between a circuit layer and the element plate. For example, in the FIG. 6 embodiment, if the circuit layers were disposed such that the channeled faces of both layers were adjacent, another flexible material sheet would be necessary between the circuit layers to avoid undesired communication betwen various portions of the circuits. This sheet would be in addition to the sheet 104 which is necessary to prevent the resilient material of the circuit layer 108 from being depressed into the fluid elements. It will now be apparent that the several layers may be arranged in a number of different ways, and that they may be stacked one upon another in repeated sequences in order to provide a degree of complexity or duplicity in circuit arrangement for the most complicated of control functions. This is achieved by providing all interconnecting circuitry within the circuit layers so that external connections, except at the end plates, are avoided, and also by providing for venting all of the individual fluidic elements along an edge of the element plate so that the broad surfaces of the plates can be isolated from atmosphere and placed in intimate contact with other layers in the composite assembly. It will be apparent from the foregoing that there is provided a fluidic element and devices thereof which achieve the above-mentioned objects and advantages and avoid the limitations of prior art structures.

Essential DSLR Features For LandscapesDiscover sophisticated DSLR modes and functions to free your creative vision in the fieldPicture StylesMost non-pro DSLRs have a Landscape scene mode that sets the camera for point-and-shoot landscapes. Also, many DSLRs offer what Canon calls Picture Styles and Nikon calls Picture Controls (Pentax has Custom Images, Sony offers Creative Styles). Among them is one for Landscapes, which sets sharpening, contrast, saturation and hue to what the manufacturer considers optimal for landscapes. You can adjust the sharpness, contrast, hue and saturation (and various monochrome parameters should you choose to shoot black-and-white landscapes), making these controls more valuable for the serious landscape photographer than the Landscape scene mode. Note that if you shoot RAW files, you also can change any of these parameters when processing the RAW file.
ISO You may think good high-ISO capability is of interest mainly to wildlife and sports photographers, but it's a great asset for the landscape artist, too. A DSLR that performs well at high-ISO settings will let you use a fast enough shutter speed to negate the blurring effects of wind at the same time that it allows you to set a small enough aperture for extended depth of field and sharpness throughout the landscape from foreground to background. Good high-ISO capability even lets you shoot handheld when using a tripod is problematic. Some of the best landscape opportunities occur in low-light situations, especially at dusk, at dawn and in stormy weather, not to mention the many moods of moonlight and shaded glens and streams. Getting the camera off the tripod to experiment on the fly with compositions and framing is liberating! You may gain extra noise, but with acceptable levels of noise currently ranging up to ISO 800, sensor sensitivity has become part of the exposure equation alongside shutter speed and aperture. How high can you dial up the ISO and still get good image quality? Test your camera to find out. You can shoot exposures (in manual mode) at each ISO setting with the lens cap on, then blow up the images to 100% on screen and crank up the contrast to get an idea of how "noisy" each setting is. A tip: Underexposed high-ISO images are much noisier than properly exposed ones; never underexpose at high ISOs. Automatic Panoramas Stitched panoramic images let you capture wider angles of view than is possible in a single shot. Some cameras will stitch images together into a single panoramic image automatically. Sony's Sweep Panorama makes it simple: Sweep the camera across the scene, and the camera does the rest. This feature was introduced in compact digital cameras, but has now made its way into recent Sony DSLRs and mirrorless models. You can't beat the ease and simplicity of Sweep Panorama if you want to try making wide-format images. We love using the feature. Framing Assist A number of DSLRs offer electronic horizons in live-view mode, and some also offer a horizon tool in the optical viewfinder. These devices help you keep the camera aligned, even in shots where the horizon doesn't appear in the frame or is obscured by mist. Bear in mind, though, that these aren't always accurate if the camera is tilted up or down sharply. Quite a few recent DSLRs also provide handy gridlines, either in live-view mode on the LCD monitor or in the eye-level viewfinder—some even in both. These are useful when you can see the horizon in the image and for aligning vertical lines.

but why not have a line or something indicating that it was for one show
please someone explain?

the pencil is colored in bronze, silver and gold and i suppose it;s somewhat connected to the percent of prizes in those categories.
i like to think that you have to try harder to get a gold than a silver and, therefore, use the pencil more.
good stuff!
got it..........thank you........

The colors are not really convincing, I just see orange, white and yellow. No wonder I didn't get it... Maybe the top of the pencil (the wood, not the carbon) should have been bronze too, to give it a more solid metal look...?
this is not bronze,this is not silver and this is not gold...this is a woody pencil ends with cigarette ..Im sorry
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
Pablo Picasso
It doesn't say anything about "congratulations" or what the "contest" is, was or about. Like Forest Gump said, "Sometimes... simple just means SiMpLe!" Go back to the drawing board. Waste of advertising space and dollars. You tried too hardIf you are the only one that sells the idea then the idea itself is lost. I'd hate to know what they are really teaching in these so-called "ART INSTITUTES" that passes for a class. this is one instance where the child was left behind!
A bit too confusing for my liking. Seems like most people (myself included) wouldn't have gotten this without an explanation.
yeah...i understand... after 10 times looking this ad ^^
thanks to Alistair Craven..
yeah... if we want to get gold award, we must work harder.. use that pencil into the gold color ^^...
dentsu loves award very much, and the client money, such a selfish fag
It took 3 CD's to do this ad ?
And....what was the contribution of the writer?
Sure this isn't a Polish joke?

The house was everything that we could of ever hoped for and more. Perfect location and perfect amenities!
Perfect Tahoe Cabin
The cabin had everything we needed for a perfect stay for our family of four with 2 young kids. It is well maintained with a spa getaway feel and relaxed cabin decor. The kids loved the sledding across the street (more than the places we paid to sled!) and the location was fantastic. We could walk to shops or take a quick drive anywhere. The restaurant recommendations from the owner were right on. We had sushi at Naked Fish which was worth the wait and had a delicious breakfast with great service at Heidi's. All in all, a splendid trip without complaint and one I would highly recommend.

The h.Club 100: the winners
We salute the innovators, visionaries and pioneers behind what's now and what's next.
London media gurus The Hospital Club and Time Out devised the h.Club 100: a search for the most original and influential people in the UK creative and media industries. Then we asked you to vote – and here are the results: the talent that is shaping the future.
Okay, there are actually not exactly 100 people on this list: Grayson Perry sneaked in twice and we've counted some multi-person projects as one entry. That's okay, though. It's a reminder that this is a snapshot of where UK creativity, in all its messy brilliance, is at right now. It's been an incredible year for the arts in the UK. In 2012 we fell for 'Sherlock' (again), cheered on 'Matilda' and cried at Danny Boyle's Olympics curtain-raiser. From backroom boys to major stars, we salute the innovators, visionaries and pioneers behind what's now and what's next.

According to several reports, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Browns.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Gronk was taken to the hospital after the game to have his leg evaluated.
If it is indeed a torn ACL, Gronk would be out for the season and his status for Week 1 in 2014 would be in question.

Publishers Weekly
Starred Review.This beautifully rendered study from the McCabes-the brother/sister writing team who produced Baseball's Golden Age-offers a superb range of photos and intelligent prose, covering the many forgotten men of baseball, as well as some giants. In his entertaining foreword, acclaimed journalist Roger Kahn describes the volume as "just about the finest collection of baseball photographs I have ever seen...they speak to the nature of mankind." Photographer Conlon (1868-1945) took more than 30,000 photos during his career, among them action shots, portraits, unnerving depictions of piercing stares, and joyful scenes of fielding and betting. The various pictures that will engage readers and entrance fans include: a marvelous page on Joe DiMaggio: Rogers Hornsby in the dugout in civilian togs; a crazy batting stance; overviews of the field; a serious Connie Mack; and a powerful portrait of hands gripping a bat. As Pepper Martin of the 1935 St. Louis Cardinals said: "You have to picture yourself in your subconscious mind the night before as a hero doing tremendous things."

Google Announces Top China Executive Resignation
December 11, 2006 | Print | Comments | Category: InternetAfter barely a more than a year, Google (GOOG) has announced that its global vice president and Greater China Co-President Johnny Chou is going to resign from the company on December 31 to pursue his own new interests.
Chou was responsible for Google's sales and business development in China and Google China says there won't be a new candidate in the short-term to replace Chou's position after he leaves.
In earlier October, it was rumored that Chou was to resign from Google China, but he denied the rumor at that time.
An electronics engineering graduate from Fudan University with two master degrees gained at The City University of New York and Princeton University, respectively, and an MBA degree from University of New Jersey, Chou worked in senior positions at UTStarcom (UTSI) before he joined Google on October 25, 2005.

Spider Beverage Tub: Love It or Hate It?
by partysugar
Like us on Facebook
I despise spiders. I find them disgustingly gross looking and they scare me. However, I think this spider beverage tub is spooktacular. It's stylish, sleek, and festive. It can sit on a table, banquet, or even the floor. It holds beer, wine, soda, or water. It's usable around Halloween, which makes me hate it a little. But it will make a lovely addition to my collection of Halloween decorations and I'll use it for many years to come. What do you think?

I wouldn't use it for a Halloween party, but would definitely wrap some kind of ivy/floral garland through the upper part of the legs and use it like that for other events.
