The Tall Book
If you're a man taller than 6'3" or a woman over 5'9", meet your new bible. Cohen, 6'3", gives talls a pep talk, highlighting research that shows they'll make an additional $789 per inch per year over shorter colleagues. Still feel awkward? Visit the Netherlands, home to the tallest people — with a copy of this charming book. Here's an excerpt. —David Lidsky
Want to watch a tall person get agitated? Next time you're out with one, lean over and whisper airplane seats. "Don't get me started!" exclaims Ben Butler, 6'8". "To get my legs to fit, I have to lift my knees up so they dig into the metal on the seat ahead, and my feet are off the floor. One time I was in a window seat in the back of the plane. The curve of the plane was so low that I had to spend the whole ride with my neck curved to the left." Obviously an appropriate seating arrangement for a paying customer.
"Universal design says that there are people on the fringe, below the 10th percentile or above the 90th percentile, and they are being marginalized," says Abir Mullick, an architect and director of industrial design at Georgia Institute of Technology and an outspoken proponent of universal design (also called "inclusive design"). "It's not enough to design to 90 percent." We're being marginalized!
Universal design is more of a social movement than a design policy, popular only in countries with diverse populations and a government attuned to other sorts of social and economic marginalization. The arguments for universal design tend to use the same buzz words as civil rights arguments—"marginalization" and "community"—and follow the same lines of logic as well: separate-but-equal is not okay, and neither is the same-but-excluding. Providing fitting seats for only 80% of the community is on par with forcing some citizens to sit in the back of the bus.
Universal design is often wrongly confused with disability design. "A lot of universities want everyone to move along the same path, so that it's truly 'universal'," says Donohue. "They really push it. They don't even want you to do switchback ramps at an entrance." Nor do they want two water fountains, or two tables." The result is that in practice, designers often produce one-size-fits-all products that are comfortable for almost no one, best illustrated by watching me fill out a deposit slip at my bank's 32" counter.
There are four broad ways to size a product: one-size-fits-all, adjustable, multiple sizes, or adjustable and multiple sized. To get a sense of which approach tends to be the most successful for tall consumers, I made a chart of some of the products in my tall life, and organized them by approach.[i] <#_edn1> :
As you can see, the one-size-fits-all approaches are a total failure. Lets all say it together: One-size-fits-all does not fit talls. Multi-sized products are, actually, quite successful from a design standpoint—the glitch is a logistical one, manufacturer's failure to produce an XL size. Adjustable-and-multiple-size options often truly fulfill 1-99th percentile design.
Munich's subway, the S-Bahn, is a perfect example of universal design. It's roughly seven feet tall, with a range of comfortable seating options at different heights to fit every conceivable body type, well-placed headrests, and no danger of brain damage on the handrails. Neither space nor cost is compromised, and the seat count is exactly the same as the New York City subway. It's quite possible. Remember the elliptical trainer? It's screaming for two sizes of adjustable machines. One could fit the 1-65th percentile, another the 45-100th percentile. Problem solved. Or the public bathroom mirrors? They should be adjustable, or there should be two. Public furniture? I once saw a bus stop bench that had seats at three levels, one child-sized. Brilliant. Yes, some days the tall seat will already be taken by another tall person. But that's better than all tall people relegated to a life of Non Fitting.

yeah he was on step by step... and about 500 other shows and games, wow. including star trek, both new generation and deep space nine. (one episode each, but still) i thought his voice sounded familiar, but even looking at the list i'm still not sure which one i would have heard him on, and possibly remembered. maybe star wars knights of the old republic. anyway, to have gotten himself that many roles, he must be pretty smart, and ok to work with it... plus i would imagine he's made enuff money even if none of them are big paying jobs, so many of them. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005189/ serah's voice, Laura Bailey has actually done even more, mostly just voices tho. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1154161/ --- i tried being serious once, in 1989.. didn't particularly care for it.. so don't expect it to happen again. | |
Yuji, the one guy that gives Serah that kitty is also Jeff from American Dad. Same exact voice. I laughed when it hit me that it was the same guy. --- Playing:Far Cry 3,Walking Dead and Fallout 3:GOTY GT: Rainingoblivion | |
Most of the voices from 13-2 have been in a lot of stuff. Laura Bailey(I've been watching her shows for years. She's my fave female VA), Troy Baker, Jason Marsden(who was also Max in the Goofy Movies), Dave Wittenberg(Kakashi, as well as many others), Steve Blum(A God in Voice Acting imo. Easily my favorite male VA), Liam O'Brien(Gaara, among many others), Alli Hillis(Mass Effect, and I've actually seen her in live action shows I believe). You can even catch Vic Mignogna(Fullmetal, Ouran, many others), Kyle Hebert(Gohan), Yuri Lowenthal(Sasuke), Kari Wahlgren(Samurai Champloo among others), Steve Staley(Kadaj in FF7:AC, Neji, Hitsugaya) Big post, but those are all VA's whom I recognized from other games and anime series :D I'm big on recognizing familiar voices from those kind of things >.< |

Location and period of operation:
Bridgwood & Son |
Longton |
1805 |
1990's |
Sampson Bridgwood & Sons Ltd, Anchor Pottery, Sutherland Road, Longton,Stoke-on-Trent were earthenware manufacturers (also china up to 1887).
They were established in 1805 and moved to the Anchor Pottey in 1853. The company closed in the 1990s.
Although the company appears to have ceased producing china in the late 19th century they continued to use tradenames such as 'semi-porcelain', 'porcelaine opaque' and 'limoges' for their earthenwares.
If the ware is translucent when help up to the light (i.e. you can see light through it) then it was probably made c.1890, just as the 'England' mark was being phased in and before china production ceased. If it does not transmit light then it is a type of earthenware and could be a little later than 1890.
In the 20th century Bridgwood's replaced 'England' with 'Made in England'.

A guardianship action is filed for a number of reasons. Any time there is a person who is incapacitated and requires a competent adult to make medical or financial decisions on that person's behalf, guardianship is an option. Any person, under the age of 18, is considered to be incapacitated because they have not reached the age of majority. If a child is residing with a family other than that child's legal parents, a guardianship action would name those adults as the guardians of the child and would allow the guardians to then make medical decisions and financial decisions on behalf of the child. The guardians would also be able to enroll the child in school and make other decisions necessary for the child. Guardianship actions are also filed on behalf of adults who have become incapacitated.
In a guardianship action, a guardian ad litem is appointed for the incapacitated person. The guardian ad litem meets with the incapacitated person and with the proposed guardian and then recommends to the court whether a guardianship is necessary, and if so, whether the proposed guardian is the appropriate person to act in that capacity. The fee for the guardian ad litem is paid from the incapacitated person's funds. Attorney fees will vary, depending upon the complexity of the matter.

Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited ("COPL" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:XOP), has closed its previously announced marketed offering ("the Offering") of common shares ("Common Shares") in the capital of the Company. Pursuant to the offering, the Company issued an aggregate 30,000,000 Common Shares at $0.20 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $6.0 million.
COPL's President and CEO, Arthur Millholland, commented: "For a junior oil company to raise $6.0 million in such a difficult time for the natural resource sector strongly reflects the confidence our investors have in the Company's management team and the assets in Liberia and New Zealand. We continue to evaluate projects that will allow us to develop COPL into a successful exploration and production company."
The Offering was led by FirstEnergy Capital Corp. on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Canaccord Genuity Corp. and GMP Securities L.P.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of the Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale may be unlawful. The Common Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the 1933 Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
About the Company
COPL is an international oil and gas exploration and development company focused on oil and gas exploration activities offshore of the Republic of Liberia. In 2013, the Company acquired an interest in a production sharing contract from the government of the Republic of Liberia that includes a world class exploration project in the West Africa Transform margin and provides the partners the exclusive right to explore for and develop the resources within. COPL also has acquired exploration acreage with shale oil potential on the north island of New Zealand.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release may contain forward-looking statements based on COPL's current expectations and assumptions as to a number of factors including timing of completion of the Offering, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, regulatory approvals in connection with the Offering, the use of proceeds of the Offering and general economic and industry conditions. If those expectations and assumptions prove to be incorrect, or factors change, then actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.
Generally, statements included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that COPL expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond COPL's control, including: the impact of general economic conditions in the areas in which COPL operates, civil unrest, industry conditions, changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced, increased competition, the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management, fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange or interest rates, stock market volatility and obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities. In addition there are risks and uncertainties associated with the oil and gas industry, therefore COPL's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits, including the amounts of proceeds, which COPL will derive therefrom. Such statements are based on assumptions made by COPL based on its experience perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Battlefield 1943
Tank weak spot ?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
When I'm in a tank, sometimes I get a rocket to hit me so my tank's life goes down by about 1/3. So I'm trying to find the guy that shot me and by the time I find him he's usualy dead within seconds with the coax gun. But sometimes its very weird, my tank completly blows up at the 2nd rocket they shoot at me when I'm 2/3 of my tank's life. Same thing goes for Tank VS Tank battle. Let's say both of us are at max HP, and I shot first (it usualy takes 3 shot to kill an other tank) the other guy won't blow up after the 3rd hit and he will kill me with his 3rd shot. Also happens to me that I die with 2 tank shots... Is there any weak spot I'm not awared of ? --- Currently on, BB CS, Fat P, BF 1943, Trinity Universe | |
The back is always a weak spot for BF tanks. Shoot a tank (w/a tank) 2 times from behind and it's dead. Infantry can kill a tank from behind with 1 shot from their rocket launcher if they toss 2 nades under first. If you learn to drive backwards you live longer as a tanker, because you can keep your strongest armour directed at the enemy. Back off to safety, repair, then enter the battle again with a refreshed tank... | |
Ah! Thanks, after all that time I've spent on BF1943 I suspected something but I didn't know where :) --- Currently on, BB CS, Fat P, BF 1943, Trinity Universe | |
Well...I don't think it's directly at the back. It's the flat area of the back end of the tank that is the weak spot. One rocket plus two grenades is usually enough to take a tank out if you get the rocket to connect with that spot (even if the enemy tank has full health), or just two cannon blasts from your own tank to the spot should do it. | |
Yeah lower backs, and basically the tummy area is always the weak spot for tanks in Battlefield games. So remember, if a tank is standing at a hill, and you can get a shot on it's tummy, then do it. --- PSN ID: TekkenDevil9292 "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail." |

- Specializing in luxury and European "motorcars," ASE master certified technicians have more than 50 years of combined factory-trained experience.
- The facility offers several rewards programs, one being the "Elite Car Care Club." This program offers members savings of over $300 on prepaid services.
- Star Motor's online blog provides information on automotive maintenance and repair and keeps clients updated with what is happening at the shop.
Claim to fame: Founded in 1985, Star Motors began as a Mercedes-Benz repair shop in Laguna Niguel, and then expanded to working on BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, Porsche, Volkswagen, Audi and all other luxury vehicles All mechanics are ASE certified and have gone through extensive training – a minimum of 40 hours per year. "We can honestly say we have specialists for practically every make and model. Our technicians and service advisers are experts in European car diagnostics and are very good at figuring out complex problems," said Emma Silvera, co-owner of Star Motors. Services include engine and transmission repairs, brakes, tires, alignments, computer/electrical troubleshooting, plus work on convertible tops, upholstery work, and auto detailing. The facility's new art gallery in its waiting room features works from local artists and occasionally brings people together for an evening of networking, wine tasting, appetizers and fun. A portion of the proceeds from artwork sold in the "Star gallery" benefits local charities. "We offer our clients fresh gourmet coffee and other refreshments in a clean, comfortable waiting area," Silvera said. "If they need a ride somewhere, we have complimentary shuttle service and rental cars. We top it off with a hand carwash for every vehicle that comes in for a service or repair. We're here to take care of people. It just so happens we're fixing cars, too." The staff offers complimentary loaner vehicles and towing as well.
Did you know? Star Motors is one of the few Green Station Certified auto-repair facilities in Orange County, according Silvera. "It's important for us to do our part to protect the environment."

Your offer is very generous but risky for anyone to take you up on, because you are under the age of 18. Any agreement with a minor is not a legal contract. This would make for a sticky situation in case of a disagreement, if money is involved. I am in no way suggesting that you are dishonest, and I am sure you are a fine young man. I am simply suggesting services in exchange for money, when someone under 18 is involved, has a high risk attached. If it is just free advice you are offering to first time speaker builders, especially from someone who has built one of the most beautiful speaker clones I have ever seen, I commend you.

Really, how old is he?
FYI, depending on how long it takes to make one of these, a contract with a minor is voidable at the option of the minor. However, the contract can be Affirmed by the minor after the minor reaches the age of maturity, in which case the contract is now binding. So if you don't pay till then you would be ok. Heck, pay after you get it and it should not be a problem anyway. poor guy is just trying to help people out. look what we are doing to him. |

I believe he is 14. In New York State a contract with a minor is no contract at all. I am not saying you shouldn't make an agreement with him. All I am saying is that you do so at a risk.

You are correct for New York also. That is what poses the risk. The minor could terminate at any time. Leaving someone holding the bag.

Long before the excitement of the holidays have worn away, ECHO Lake Aquarium is ready to take those young minds and busy bodies on an exciting journey through our natural history, ecology and culture with extended programming between December 26th and January 2nd.
There are only three days each year when ECHO is closed, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day yet the days around these holidays are some of the busiest and most exciting days at ECHO! To accommodate the extra visitors we've increased hourly programming, added more educators and provided something to discover and explore around every corner.
This year's Holiday Vacation (Dec. 26th through January 2nd) will be especially fun with our final programming around our interactive, seasonal programming related to our traveling exhibit Conservations Quest/Power Play. We'll be providing some extra special attention to everyday ways families can "upcycle" their extra items. Upcycling is the process of taking items you would usually throw away or recycle and turning them into a new product of greater value.
INSPIRATIONAL TRASH! Between December 26th and January 2, ECHO will offer visitors the chance to create some handy upcycled items and view impressive upcycled products that community members have created including holiday inspired gift bags, bows and other creative items. Some local entrepreneurs have even created a profitable small businesses based on upcycling.
MILK JUG IGLOO! Help us build a recycled structure you can crawl into! We need 400 milk jugs, cleaned and with their tops on, so we can build a fantastic milk-jug-igloo on ECHO's exhibit floor. Guests who bring their gallon milk jugs to ECHO will save $1.00 on admission, per jug, per family (limit 4 jugs or $4). Folks who donate jugs will also be entered into a drawing to win a free one-year family membership to ECHO. We will collect milk jugs through January 14th.
In between animal encounters and special programming, visitors can enjoy learning about and seeing over 70 species of live fish, amphibians, invertebrates and reptiles as well as enjoy over 100 interactive experiences and daily animal feedings. Guests can also visit ECHO's latest traveling exhibit, Conservation Quest, a hands-on, interactive exhibit with plenty to spin, stack, twirl and push. The last day to visit that exhibit is January 2.
