9 Grammatical Pitfalls
"one who makes use of fallacious arguments," mid-15c., earlier sophister (late 14c.), from Latin sophista, sophistes, from Greek sophistes "a master of one's craft; a wise or prudent man, one clever in matters of daily life," from sophizesthai "to become wise or learned," from sophos "skilled in a handicraft, cunning in one's craft; clever in matters of everyday life, shrewd; skilled in the sciences, learned; clever; too clever," of unknown origin. Greek sophistes came to mean "one who gives intellectual instruction for pay," and at Athens, contrasted with "philosopher," it became a term of contempt.
Sophists taught before the development of logic and grammar, when skill in reasoning and in disputation could not be accurately distinguished, and thus they came to attach great value to quibbles, which soon brought them into contempt. [Century Dictionary]

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jared It's like you're not wearing a helmet...
....but you are. Can't say how well it protects, and hope I never find out, but it's super comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alycia I bought this soley on the reviews
I am a woman that hates high profile helmets. I started climbing with an Ecrin Roc years ago... ... have been using a BD Half Dome and hated the fit.
The Vapor is what girls want!
Great ventilation. Huge and comfortable size adjustability. Soft webbing feel on the chin strap. I can easily slip my pony-tail between the helmet and occipital strap that sits at the base of the skull.
Good job BD.
Spend the extra bucks and get this helmet. Like everyone else, I forget its on my head. I will wear it all day, which is great because I am usually busy teaching others, so I can naturally rolemodel one more safe practice in climbing at no inconvenience of comfort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pete Not perfect but still amazing!
My first helmet (plastic shell with webbing harness) was a beast of weight and bulk, and I avoided wearing helmets for sport climbing or hard trad for years. I bought my first Vapor about a year ago, and it was great -- crazy light, well ventilated, fit under a hood, could accommodate a thin fleece beanie. With the ventilation and weight of the Vapor, I couldn't come up with any excuses not to wear a helmet for everything.
My first Vapor, however, did have some issues. First, the adjusting system seemed to wear out over time because it would occasionally and spontaneously become quite loose. Second, the foam and plastic liner didn't withstand the repeated smashing of equipment into my pack.
I looked at lots of different helmets when it came time to replace my first Vapor, but the Vapor is still the best helmet on the market. I finally bought a second Vapor, and it has performed like a superstar. And, I'll try not to smash it into my pack (or get my head smashed during a fall) so that it lasts a bit longer than the first one.

We use these for sailing on a high speed catamaran. They deal with sweat nicely as well as drain water when it's wet. Very easily adjusted and work well bare headed or with a skull cap. Worth the $.

Rated 5 out of 5 by John Incredibly light and comfortable!
I bought this helmet because I run a guide service based in Austin, Texas and it gets HOT! Having a helmet that is lightweight, comfortable and well ventilated is an absolute must. For the environment I work in the Vapor is the best helmet I have ever owned. Great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alexander Ultimate Hot Weather Helmet
I recently made the move to AZ from NY and always wear a helmet out of habit. There are plenty of vent holes for hot days and the design doesn't seem to sacrifice the structural integrity. The suspension is comfortable and stores away when in transit to prevent damage. It is a lower profile helmet so you look like you have a normal sized dome, especially when under a hood. More lightweight than expected with removable liner pads for easy cleaning after you get your sweat on.
August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ward This helmet saved my life
I can confidently say I would be dead without it. I suffered a broken neck, traumatic brain injury, and a month in the hospital from my fall.
Wear a helmet!!!

Hawaii's Sunny Garcia provided most of the spectator excitement on the opening day of the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) six-star Prime rated Drug Aware Pro presented by Rusty at Margaret River today.
The 2000 ASP world champion was called an interference mid-way through his opening round heat following a wave altercation with Canary Island surfer Jonathon Gonzales.
The interference call resulted in Garcia being penalised with a deduction of half of his points on his second scoring ride and saw him slip from 2nd to 4th mid-way through the heat.

In a weekend that started with tough conditions, but ended with offshore wind waves of nice size, Montezuma's Mattías Braun adds a second victory in the Circuito Nacional de Surf, and the first in the DayStar 2009-10. This came after a final characterized by a give and take of positioning between the best surfers in the heat.
Joining Braun in the final were Tamarindo's own Federico Pilurzu and Isaac Vega, as well as Jaco's Jason Torres, all noted leaders in the country's surf scene. In the heat, they also at one time or another had the lead, but an inspired backside from Braun showed his dominance. He also invested greater energy, with long routes, and manuevers characterized by forcé, and it was this investment that resulted in the highest combination of the event with a 13,84 against 12.33 of Torres, 11.64 of Vega and 11.10 for Pilurzu.

Tigers rightfielder Torii Hunter and first baseman Prince Fielder watch during the ninth inning of the Game 3 loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday at Comerica Park. / Kirthmon F. Dozier/DFP
So now it was the Tigers in the bottom of the eighth. Less than 48 hours after suffering a demoralizing grand slam in that same inning in Fenway Park, here was Detroit, at home, with its own chance to put a hammer down and sneer at the irony of the baseball gods.
First and third. Only one out. Trailing, 1-0, in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
In Boston, it was Big Papi stepping to the plate, the crowd going wild.
Tuesday in Detroit, it was Major Miggy, the American League batting champion.
ōYouÆre talking about the best hitter on the planet,ö Torrii Hunter would say. Hunter, having singled, was on first base at that moment, exhorting the crowd, shouting and pumping his fists. Austin Jackson was on third, cheating toward home. All eyes were on Miguel Cabrera as he stepped into the box.
A fly ball might tie it. A long ball might win it.
But both of those require contact.
And there was no contact made.
Instead, Cabrera struck out on four pitches. And then Prince Fielder struck out on three. Seven pitches? The game died as if someone tripped over the plug.
Power out.
ōWhat were you thinking after you struck out to end that chance?ö someone asked Fielder later, after the Tigers wasted a stellar pitching effort by Justin Verlander to lose by that 1-0 score and fall behind in this best-of-seven series, two games to one.
ōI struck out,ö Fielder said. ōNothing too scientific.ö
And nothing more to say. Sometimes you hit them. Sometimes you donÆt. Nobody hit much of anything Tuesday at Comerica Park, but one Boston batter knocked in one run Ś himself, a homer Ś and donÆt look now, but the Red Sox have just survived Max Scherzer and Verlander in consecutive games, beating the Tigers twice by the slimmest of margins, one run.
ōAmnesia,ö Hunter said at his locker. ōYou have to have amnesia.ö
Right. Who in Detroit wants to remember that?
Power out.
Who pulled the plug?
Of course, for a while Tuesday afternoon, everybodyÆs juice was gone. First it was the stadium lights, which darkened during the second inning following a power outage. We sat around for 17 minutes dong nothing. Then 17 batters, Red Sox and Tigers, came to the plate and also did nothing. It was that long before one of them, the Boston big beard Jonny Gomes, even eked out an infield hit.
There were more zeroes hanging than a Facebook IPO. Sooner or later, you figured, something would happen. A spark. A flash. At least maybe a flicker?
It would. But it wouldnÆt be the Tigers.
Instead, on this gray and sunless afternoon that turned to a chilly evening, they were stymied by Boston starter John Lackey, who was billed as a softer spot in the Red Sox tough rotation. LetÆs be honest. Verlander was supposed to have the edge Tuesday. While he was busy the last two years winning the MVP and Cy Young and going to the World Series, Lackey was suffering a terrible 2011, then missing the 2012 season after Tommy John surgery.
Yet on Tuesday, while the Red Sox scratched out one run on Verlander, the Tigers were completely shut down by Lackey and the rest of the Red Sox pitchers, continuing DetroitÆs surprisingly zipless postseason, stranding seven runners, capped by Cabrera and Fielder striking out with the tying run on third.
ThatÆs beyond missed opportunity. ThatÆs like stepping on your glasses while youÆre looking for them.
And hereÆs whatÆs worse. They did it against two different relievers. Lackey, amazing all day, was already out of the game.
ōThis is what itÆs about in the postseason,ö manager Jim Leyland said. ōGood pitching.ö
Fielder concurred: ōItÆs the postseason. Teams wouldnÆt be here if they were giving up five runs a game.ö
Maybe. But 13 playoff games this fall have seen the winning team score five or more runs. And while the Tigers, in a subdued clubhouse, spoke about waiting for Boston pitchers to make a mistake Ś a truism of playoff pitching Ś at some point, you have to do something with a good pitch yourself. Especially if your team led all of baseball in batting and was second in runs.
Power out. LetÆs be honest. The Tigers, right now, have a leadoff hitter, Jackson, who strikes out way too much and a cleanup hitter, Fielder, who doesnÆt drive in runs. ItÆs all very interesting that Jhonny Peralta, the No. 6 hitter, is leading the club in offense after missing 50 straight games because of his drug-policy suspension, but in a way, isnÆt that more of a knock than a compliment?
ōIts obvious,ö Hunter admitted. ōFans are frustrated, weÆre frustrated, coaching staff, everybodyÆs frustrated that we couldnÆt get any run support for (Verlander) after that performance. ģ
ōI canÆt even explain that. Baseball is crazy. ģ Your ace is out there doing his thing and one home run Ś that determines the game?ö
It does as long as one is more than none.
Power out.
Almost unhittable
On my way up the stairs from the clubhouse, one of the TigersÆ security men nodded and then yelled, ōWrite good words about Verlander.ö
ThatÆs not hard. The ace was aces again. At one point J.V. struck out six straight, which is a league championship series record. He struck out 10 total. He scattered four hits over eight innings. He didnÆt allow a run until that Mike Napoli homer in the seventh, which extended VerlanderÆs personal scoreless inning streak to 34, including the end of the regular season. ThatÆs like throwing almost four consecutive shutouts.
ōObviously, itÆs tough,ö Verlander said after the loss. ōYou want to win every time you take the mound. ģ To give my team a chance to win today I would have had to throw up all zeroes.ö
Sure. And part the Red Sea on your way home. VerlanderÆs sole mistake to Napoli Ś a 3-2 fastball that Napoli whomped over the left-center wall Ś had historic overtones. The Boston first baseman last hit a homer off Verlander in 2006 Ś his first at-bat in the major leagues.
But that just makes it interesting. HereÆs what makes it inspiring. Before that home run, Napoli had been 0-for-6 in this series, with six strikeouts.
So Detroit bats, take heart.
ōI think you kind of expect that in this series,ö Verlander said. ōItÆs two heavyweights going at it. If you canÆt appreciate this, you canÆt appreciate baseball.ö
Appreciation is there. Addition would be good. The Tigers, who are very good at recovering from setbacks, denied any kind of Game 2 hangover in Game 3. They must do the same with Game 3 into tonightÆs Game 4.
ōWeÆre professionals,ö Hunter said. ōWe just turn the page.ö
Good to hear. Might want to turn on the power while youÆre at it.

Variable number tandem repeat
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2011) |
A variable number tandem repeat (or VNTR) is a location in a genome where a short nucleotide sequence is organized as a tandem repeat. These can be found on many chromosomes, and often show variations in length between individuals. Each variant acts as an inherited allele, allowing them to be used for personal or parental identification. Their analysis is useful in genetics and biology research, forensics, and DNA fingerprinting.
VNTR structure and allelic variation[edit]
In the schematic above, the rectangular blocks represent each of the repeated DNA sequences at a particular VNTR location. The repeats are in tandem - i.e. they are clustered together and oriented in the same direction. Individual repeats can be removed from (or added to) the VNTR via recombination or replication errors, leading to alleles with different numbers of repeats. Flanking the repeats are segments of non-repetitive sequence (shown here as thin lines), allowing the VNTR blocks to be extracted with restriction enzymes and analyzed by RFLP, or amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and their size determined by gel electrophoresis.
Use of VNTRs in genetic analysis[edit]
VNTRs were an important source of RFLP genetic markers used in linkage analysis (mapping) of diploid genomes. Now that many genomes have been sequenced, VNTRs have become essential to forensic crime investigations, via DNA fingerprinting and the CODIS database. When removed from surrounding DNA by the PCR or RFLP methods, and their size determined by gel electrophoresis or Southern blotting, they produce a pattern of bands unique to each individual. When tested with a group of independent VNTR markers, the likelihood of two unrelated individuals' having the same allelic pattern is extremely improbable. VNTR analysis is also being used to study genetic diversity and breeding patterns in populations of wild or domesticated animals. As such, VNTRs can be used to distinguish strains of bacterial pathogens. In this microbial forensics context, such assays are usually called Multiple Loci VNTR Analysis or MLVA.
VNTR Inheritance[edit]
In analyzing VNTR data, two basic genetic principles can be used:
- Identity Matching- both VNTR alleles from a specific location must match. If two samples are from the same individual, they must show the same allele pattern.
- Inheritance Matching- the VNTR alleles must follow the rules of inheritance. In matching an individual with his parents or children, a person must have an allele that matches one from each parent. If the relationship is more distant, such as a grandparent or sibling, then matches must be consistent with the degree of relatedness.
Relationship to other types of repetitive DNA[edit]
Repetitive DNA, representing over 40% of the human genome, is arranged in a bewildering array of patterns. Repeats were first identified by the extraction of Satellite DNA, which does not reveal how they are organized. The use of restriction enzymes showed that some repeat blocks were interspersed throughout the genome. DNA sequencing later showed that other repeats are clustered at specific locations, with tandem repeats being more common than inverted repeats (which may interfere with DNA replication). VNTRs are the class of clustered tandem repeats that exhibit allelic variation in their lengths.
Classes of VNTRs[edit]
There are two principal families of VNTRs: microsatellites and minisatellites. The former are repeats of sequences less than about 5 base pairs in length (an arbitrary cutoff), while the latter involve longer blocks. Confusing this distinction is the recent use of the terms Short Tandem Repeat (STR) and Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR), which are more descriptive, but whose definitions are similar to that of microsatellites. VNTRs with very short repeat blocks may be unstable - dinucleotide repeats may vary from one tissue to another within an individual, while trinucleotide repeats have been found to vary from one generation to another (see Huntington's disease). The 13 assays used in the CODIS database are usually referred to as STRs, and most analyze VNTRs that involve repeats of 4 base pairs.

wholesale auctions
business liquidation
Online Liquidation Auctions
DynaCorp Auctions Liquidation Services
Shoppers at wholesale auctions will often be able to find extremely low prices due to the fact that the seller wants to get rid of the merchandise as quickly as possible. A business may do this because they have a surplus, or because they are being made to do so by the court due to bankruptcy or other financial difficulties.
At some auctions, shoppers may find goods that are sold as is, meaning that they may not be brand new and therefore will often be priced very cheaply. Businesses sometimes use this method to get rid office equipment like computers, desks and desk chairs.
There are also auctions that offer high quality items for consumers seeking only products of the best quality and in the best condition.
DynaCorp Auctions selects top-caliber partners like government agencies, celebrities, professional athletes, dignitaries, and Fortune 500 CEOs who are looking to sell off their surpluses and estates to the consumers during our wholesale auctions Says Perez.
Consumers who have had experience with auctions may know that the prices of certain items can be inflated by increased bidding but in most cases it will be possible to find good deals on quality merchandise at DynaCorp Auctions.
About DynaCorp Auctions:
DynaCorp Auctions is one of the nation's most innovative providers of online auctions and liquidation services. Whether buying or selling, they empower individuals and businesses, across industries, with the ability to get the most out of their auction experience. Their goal is to make the auction process faster, easier, and more rewarding for the client's bottom line.

Frontpage Deal

i guess the problem is that then you'd have to actually eat there.... LOL
Seriously. This deal pops up every now and again and I usually buy some but I always give the giftcards to other people!
$50 "worth" of nasty, greasy food for only $40 bucks??? Count me out!
repped. good deal, we aren't here to discuss your preference for food this is a deal site and this is worth a rep.
great deal. I bought 2 a month ago, ended up giving them as gifts, now I can buy more for ME!! :-)
big thumbs up
big thumbs up
I will never eat this cancer again. Thanks for the post though!
It's amazing that whenever this deal pops up, it's almost a guarantee that about half the posts will be from people who feel the need to bash or make jokes regarding Applebees and/or its food. Not sure I understand why all the hate... as restaurants go are they REALLY that much different from any other place in the same price range?

The Sports Network DATE & TIME: Tuesday, November 26, 5 p.m. (et) FACTS & STATS: Site: Alumni Gym (1,607) -- Elon, North Carolina. Television: None. Home Record: Metro 0-0, Canisius 1-0. Away Record: Metro 0-0, Canisius 0-2. Neutral Record: Metro 2-0, Canisius 2-0. Conference Record: Metro 0-0, Canisius 0-0. GAME NOTES: The Metro State Roadrunners continue their run at the record books, as they finish up play in the NIT Season Tip-Off on Tuesday against the Canisius Golden Griffins. With a stunning upset of host Elon on Monday night (75-74), Metro State became the first Division II school to post two wins in the NIT Tip-Off, with the other coming in earlier round action against Fairleigh Dickinson. Still, Metro State's run in this event have been counted as exhibition contests, so according to its official record it still stands at 2-0. The Golden Griffins moved over .500 on the year with a 79-71 victory over Georgia State in Monday's NIT action. The victory was the second straight for Canisius, which also got by Elon last week in a close affair (85-84). Mitch McCarron poured in 29 points and grabbed nine rebounds on Monday, as the Roadrunners held off the Elon Phoenix, 75-74, in consolation round action of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Alumni Gym. The team used a 21-10 run to go up by as many as 16 points in the first half and then held on for the two-point decision. Brandon Jefferson and Raul Delgado each finished with 11 points while Nicholas Kay chipped in with 10 for Metro State. In its two official games, Metro State is scoring a modest 69.0 points per game, but it has shown strong defensive skills, allowing just 47.0 points per contest. Jefferson and Nicholas Kay lead the team with 19.0 points per game each, while Jamal McClerkin (10.0 ppg) and McCarron (7.5 ppg, 9.0 rpg) provide depth. Billy Baron led the way once again for Canisius, as he poured in a game-high 26 points in the win over Georgia State. Baron was 8-of-14 from the floor and knocked down five 3-pointers in the game. Fellow guard Chris Perez was also a big factor in the victory, as he poured in 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting. Jordan Heath rounded out the top scorers for Canisius with 13 points. The Golden Griffins shot an impressive 50 percent from the floor overall and a better 56.5 percent from behind the arc (13-of-23). The Golden Griffins aren't an explosive offensive squad by any means, averaging a modest 70.2 ppg. However, Baron is an explosive individual scorer and leads the team with a hefty 22.8 ppg. Perez is a distant second in the scoring column at 13.2 ppg. The Golden Griffins won't scare many teams with their play at either end of the floor, but Baron and company should do enough to end Metro State's successful run. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Canisius 71, Metro State 64 11/26 10:35:57 ET |

MESSE11: Gibson Introduces A New Les Paul Bass
The Les Paul Standard Bass Oversized makes its debut 07-Apr-11
Here's what Gibson has to say about the new
Les Paul Standard Bass Oversized
Way back in 1952 the Les Paul Standard established itself as the finest solidbody electric guitar available to the six-string player. The
Les Paul Standard Bass
from Gibson USA takes that legendary styling and the classic features of the Les Paul's design and construction and applies them to the low end, with an "oversized" Les Paul body that is more proportional to the dimensions of the bass guitar, to give you a bass with traditionally elegant styling, but a tone all its own. The look is so familiar you'll do a double-take to confirm that this is indeed a four-string bass, and the Les Paul Standard Bass does for the low end what its six-string predecessor does for lead guitar. From gut-thumping rumble to punchy funky snap, it's also extremely flexible and suitable to any genre, thanks to the simple yet versatile pickup and electronics complement that has made the Les Paul six-string so adaptable for nearly 60 years. All this, and it has looks to kill in your choice of nitrocellulose finish in Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Goldtop, or Ebony Black.
Like the most revered Les Paul Standards of all time, the Les Paul Standard Bass starts with the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body with solid carved maple top. Together, these woods offer outstanding tonal depth and richness from the mahogany, with superb clarity and "snap" from the maple. In this model, the strategic placement of several tone chambers enhances resonance while also reducing the guitar's overall weight considerably. The glued-in solid-mahogany neck is cut to the superior "quarter-sawn" grain orientation for superior strength and optimum resonance transfer between neck and body. The neck is carved to a comfortably rounded profile that increases gradually from .860" at the 1st fret to .960" at the 12th fret, and topped with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays. The bass has a PLEK-cut Corian nut, and, to further maximize vibrational energy, Gibson includes its legendary Tune-o-matic bridge and stud-mounted wraparound tailpiece, arguably the most storied hardware combination in the history of the electric guitar, adapted here for the four-string instrument.
All this tonal goodness is cranked through a pair of Gibson USA's TB+ humbucking pickups, with ceramic magnets for enhanced punch and clarity to maximize the potential of this timeless maple and mahogany design. Individual volume and tone controls and a three-way switch offer a wide range of tones. Finally, a set of highly efficient Grover® bass tuners with 20:1 a gear ratio give you optimum smoothness and precision. Add it up, and it's a powerful yet classy road to the bottom, whether you're forte is rock, jazz, country, or metal. Check one out today at your authorized Gibson dealer, and discover the beauty and versatility of the Les Paul Standard Bass.
Each includes a Gibson hardshell case and owner's manual, and is covered by Gibson's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 Customer Service.

DANVERS, Mass., Dec. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- For the 9th year in a row, LuxteL attended the Medica trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany. The show ran from November 17th to the 20th and was attended by over 137,500 visitors who viewed over 19,000 medical products and technologies. Dusseldorf's Medica is the largest medical trade show in the world.
At this year's show, LuxteL unveiled their new LED lighting product, a Surgical Overhead Lighting Fixture featuring a 10-100% dimming range and the ability to add red light to lower the computed radiography CR value. LuxteL's new item was positively received and already has a large volume of sales. LuxteL's CeraLux ceramic xenon line of lamps also generated a lot of buzz this year, especially with confirmation of PerkinElmer's lighting sector being sold. The rebranding of products by PerkinElmer's new owners makes LuxteL's brand the longest standing recognized name in the business; an honor which LuxteL takes very seriously.
LuxteL participated in the show this year through the USA CEO Pavilion, which provides businesses with a private meeting area, concierge services and a student interpreter. Paul Beech, Managing Member of LuxteL, said, "Due to the volume of present and potential customers that visit with us during the four day show, I prefer attending through the CEO Pavilion, as the set up allows for a quiet surrounding in which to discuss business, whereas the traditional booth is so constantly busy with 'stop & see' traffic that it becomes difficult to conduct business in a professional manner."
By attending the show, LuxteL can visit with customers fr

Federal deficit spending (fiscal stimulus) funds net non-govt sector savings. If it is too small to fund that savings need, you see AD continuing to fall. If it is in excess of that savings need, you will see inflation. Monetary policy, which merely rearranges the term structure of assets at the fund, has no impact. As we can see from the reality of the past 12 months. (Although I can be persuaded that zero interest rates are also sapping aggregate demand as they drain interest income from the non-Govt sector). The "multiplier" is a fiction because bank lending is not reserve constrained, and that is all monetary policy tinkers with. Posted October 5, 2009 6:31 PM
floccina writes:
but winterspeak am I wrong to think that the Fed can still buy assets and that as long they can buy treasury bonds they are not constrained in conventional monetary policy. Beyond treasuries there are other assets to buy like corporate bond stocks etc. It seems to me that there are plenty of ways to get money into the economy through monetary policy that will not create a huge debt for tax payers. Am I wrong? Posted October 5, 2009 10:05 PM
Winterspeak writes:
Floccina: the fed is not a currency issuer unlike the treasury. The fed can alter the term structure of assets, and can take them onto it's balance sheet. But it cannot create pure bank reserves (paid in equity) the way the treasury does through fiscal deficit spending look at it this way. Of you have more debt than you want, and cannot afford the det you have, you will not be interested in taking on additional debt via different instruments no matter the interest rate. What you want is to simply pay some of your debt down and only the treasury can help with that Posted October 6, 2009 8:49 AM

Or simply refinance your existing debt at current rates. The mortgage industry is playing a dangerous game or chicken not offering current rates to existing debt. If the industry writes people off at 4%, why would they pay 6%. Posted October 6, 2009 5:08 PM

YANCEY: Yup. What you're describing though is really a Treasury function, as the Fed can just swap one liability for another, it cannot extinguish liability. The Treasury would act through the Fed, as the Treasury uses the Fed as its bank. This would be properly called "fiscal stimulus" and the stimulus recipient would be you.

Question: If I was to use Kickstarter to fund creating an original fantasy painting, available as a print ranging from standard US letter size (8.5″ by 11″) all the way up to 2′ by 3′, would you be interested in supporting it?
What size print would you want?
It couldn't be Magic the Gathering related (copyright issues), but what fantasy thing would you like to see?
Guesstimate prices would range from $15 to probably $120. With some super rare stuff in the $300 category.
So what d'ya think?
7 Responses to "Kickstarter"
I've always loved your take on dragons – so that would be my preference – and something in a horizontal letter size would wonderfully on the wall ;>.
I'd put in something for a kickstarter project, sure!
I'm in. I'll have to think about what I'd like to see (though something from "Alice In Wonderland" is knocking), but I'm in.
I think that sounds like fun! I second that I'd love a horizontal letter size. 😀 I'm currently up to my eyeballs in dragons, elves and the like, so I'm totally on board with anything in the fantasy realm. 😀
Megan, if you're interested, all my Magic prints are horizontal letter size and only run $10 + shipping. Send me an email at the address at the top of the right column, and I'll send you the list of available prints.
I am intrigued. If I got to call the shots I can't decide if I'd like to see a magnifgicently complex battle royale of many different creatures or a close up study of one creature's face, a huge, haunting eye. For sure I'd like to see something new, where my brain doesn't automatically go, "goblin" or "bugbear" which is hard to do these days- my brain seems very fixated on labels.
I like 11×17 prints for the size and usual affordability.
As far as what fantasy related thing… I'd like to see something related to necromancy.
I would love the horizontal letter size just becuase it means I can load my wall with lots of prints.
I would love to see random fantasy creatures of different species.
I would support such a project

The bi-partisan reforms are aimed principally at the Freedom of Information Act of 1966, which has not been updated in nearly a decade.
"Achieving the true consent of the governed requires informed consent, and such consent is possible only with an open and accessible government," Cornyn said.
The legislation would close loopholes in FOIA, help requestors obtain timely responses, provide incentives for agencies to respond, and create a hotline tracking system.
"FOIA represents the foundation of our modern open government laws and this bill builds on that by updating its protections to include new technologies and refining the process to reduce delays and encourage accessibility," Leahy said.
Cornyn and Leahy are both members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Want to be the envy of everyone on the golf course without actually improving your golfing skills? Then you just need to ride out onto the green in the BW1, the world's first hovercraft golf cart.
Pro golfer Bubba Watson teamed up with Oakley to produce the eye-catching cart, who then enlisted the help of Chris Fitzgerald, president of Neoteric Hovercraft, Inc., for the actual construction.
The final result is basically a hovercraft outfitted with some features lifted from a typical golf cart, including a canopy, sand bottle holders, and a space to hold clubs. Aside from the stylish design, the new cart also provides a much smoother ride and can float over any terrain while barely leaving a mark. It can even glide over water hazards and sand traps, though your fellow golfers probably won't appreciate the debris it kicks up if they're nearby.
Sadly, no plans have been mentioned to distribute any more hover-carts, so regular golf carts will have to suffice for other golfers right now.
Check out the video below to see how the BW1 hovercraft golf cart handles on both land and water.
UPDATE: Neoteric has confirmed to us that Bubba Watson's golf cart was built around its Hovertrek model of light hovercraft with only some cosmetic additions. According to specifications on the company website, the Hovertrek is a gasoline-powered vehicle that can remain in motion for 3.4 hours on a single tank, while consuming 3.5 gal/hr (13.3 l/hr) - and likely produces more distracting noise than a standard electric cart.

How many miles per gallon? Is it electric or gasoline?
Ra'anan Elozory4th April, 2013 @ 06:58 am PDT
I like hovercraft and there a plenty of jobs where it is the best vehicle for it. But a hovercraft described as efficient the mind boggles.
Don't golfers value quiet that thing has to make more noise than an ICE powered cart.
Slowburn4th April, 2013 @ 08:04 am PDT
I nominate Bubba Watson and Oakley for the Far More Money Than Brains Award for their hovercraft golf cart. I also declare them the all time uncontested winners (they also take 2nd place) of the FMMTBA, 3rd place goes to thier publicity agent. Good for you Neoteric, somebody had to take thier money, and with your crafts good handling features, let's hope they don't run into someone. I do envy the clods have enough money to do something so stupid, can't say I envy what they did with the money.
Dave B134th April, 2013 @ 09:57 am PDT
Utterly useless to me until they come out with a submarine version.
Fritz Menzel4th April, 2013 @ 10:14 am PDT
Hovercraft are LOUD and more wind of any kind
is not welcome on a golf course.
hovercraft do not do well on tilted or slanted surfaces.
NOT an ideal application....
Griffin4th April, 2013 @ 11:14 am PDT
Nah, it's not so bad...as long as the purpose isn't actually to ferry golfers in a real course. Put it in a league of its own, then you could just have fun...like golf cart drag racing
sk8dad4th April, 2013 @ 12:34 pm PDT
it's just a step guys...
billybob18514th April, 2013 @ 02:04 pm PDT
Need mufflers & prop noise dispensers to Reduce engine & prop Db alone, otherwise radical
Beats using old EV carts.

Slowburn, I concur. Best Regards, Bill

Hovercraft buggys have been around for some time, see http://www.hovercraft-usa.com

I could see Remi Gaillard in one of these on a course...
Gerard Gallagher6th April, 2013 @ 05:39 am PDT
Bubba Watson's hovercraft is the coolest thing ever! Oh my! This is so incredible. This is indeed one rich man's toy. Love it! I guess gliding means more fun afterall!

ClassicsOnline Home » SPOHR: Piano Trios Nos. 3 and 5
Louis Spohr (1784 - 1859) Piano Trios Nos. 3 & 5
Louis Spohr won an enormous reputation during the nineteenth century as a composer, violin virtuoso, conductor and teacher as well as being renowned for his upright, noble character, a man of convinced liberal and democratic beliefs who was not afraid of speaking out against the repression and autocracy which abounded during his lifetime in the small German principalities (his contemporaries also saw this "upright character" translated into physical terms as he was nearly 6ft 7in tall). He was one of music's great travellers, wrote an entertaining and informative autobiography, compiled an influential violin tutor, invented the chin-rest, was one of the pioneers of conducting with the baton and hit on the idea of putting letters in a score as an aid to rehearsals. So when, in a Hollywood film about music, a Leopold Stokowski-like conductor taps his baton at rehearsal and says to the orchestra: "Back to Letter F, gentlemen", it is Spohr's innovation we are witnessing.
Spohr was born in the North German city of Braunschweig (Brunswick) on 5th April, 1784, and as a boy showed talent for the violin. When he was fifteen he joined the ducal orchestra and by the age of eighteen had reached the stage at which the Duke of Brunswick considered him ready for further development. He was, therefore, sent on a year-long study tour with the virtuoso Franz Anton Eck (1774-1804), taking in various centres on the way to the then Russian capital St. Petersburg. It was at this time that Spohr wrote his first mature compositions - some violin duets followed by his first Violin Concerto, Op. 1. After his return home, the Duke granted him leave to make a concert-tour of North Germany and Spohr shot to overnight fame in the German lands after a concert in Leipzig in December, 1804, received an enthusiastic review from the influential critic Friedrich Rochlitz - not only for his violin playing but also for his concertos, especially No. 2 in D minor, Op. 2. Spohr now set out on successful career which took him as concertmaster to the court of Gotha (1805-12), orchestra leader at Vienna's Theater an der Wien, where he became friendly with Beethoven (1813-15), opera director at Frankfurt (1817-19) and finally, Hofkapellmeister at Kassel (1822-57) where he died on 22nd October, 1859. In between, he found time for numerous concert-tours, most notably to Italy (1816-17), England (1820) and Paris (1821), with his wife, the harp virtuoso Dorette Scheidler (1787-1834). In later years he reduced the number of his public violin appearances but his renown as a conductor led to many invitations to take charge of music festivals, including the inauguration of the Beethoven Monument in Bonn in 1845 as well as further visits to England in 1839, 1843, 1847, 1852 and 1853. He also trained some two hundred violinists, conductors and composers and, indeed, he was the antithesis of the "lonely, tormented artist". He loved parties, was a gifted painter, an enthusiastic rose-grower, a keen swimmer and hiker, played chess, billiards, dominoes, whist and ball-games, and, as well as visiting such cultural attractions as art galleries, churches and the like, also toured factories, mines and other industrial installations, all in the pursuit of knowledge. He was also interested in politics and during the short-lived German national parliaments following the 1830 and 1848 revolutions he listened to as many debates as he was able. As a conductor Spohr championed many of the best composers of his time, even when he was not totally in sympathy with their style (Spohr's own idol and ideal was Mozart and, like his hero, Spohr was a committed Freemason). His repertoire ranged from Beethoven's symphonies, including the Ninth, concertos and quartets, Fidelio and the Missa Solemnis, to Wagner's Flying Dutchman and Tannhäuser, and he helped in the revival of earlier masterpieces such as Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Late in his career he added to his repertoire works by Schubert, Schumann, Berlioz and Liszt among others.
From the start of his career, Spohr aspired to be something more than just a violinist who wrote concertos, like Viotti, Kreutzer, Rode, Paganini, de Beriot, Vieuxtemps, Ernst or Wieniawski, and expanded his compositional scope to include opera, oratorio, cantata, lieder, symphony, chamber music and, especially in the first years of his marriage, works involving the harp. Gradually he took a place among the leading composers of his day, particularly for his fine concertos, overtures and first two symphonies. Soon after settling in Kassel, the success of his opera Jessonda in 1823 and his oratorio Die letzten Dinge (The Last Judgment) in 1826 won him a place in the accepted pantheon of great composers. Spohr's importance for his contemporaries and what captured them and enraptured them was his richness of harmony and command of modulation and chromaticism. While the content of his works made him, along with Weber, a pioneer of early Romanticism, he generally adhered to classical proportions when it came to form although his four programme symphonies helped to establish this genre. Later in the nineteenth century this classical side of his personality appeared old-fashioned to those brought up on the heady sounds of Wagner, Tchaikovsky or Strauss and led to his relegation from his former high status. His best works, however, stayed in the repertoire throughout the century, while Jessonda was still staged at intervals in Germany (it was admired by Brahms and Strauss, among others) until it was banned by the Nazis because it showed a European hero marrying an Indian princess. In Great Britain The Last Judgment remained a favourite of provincial choral societies until the First World War when a reaction against things Victorian set in. A few works have stayed with us - the enjoyable Nonet and Octet are often performed by groups who want items to programme alongside the Beethoven Septet or the Schubert Octet; the 8th Violin Concerto, Op. 47, the one "in the form of vocal scena", can still tempt virtuosi; as can the four fine clarinet concertos (recorded on Naxos 8.550588-89). However, the slow revival of the rest of his output is only now under way but is already uncovering many delightful pieces.
The piano, however, had proved a notable exception to Spohr's gradually growing artistic triumphs. His own piano technique was rudimentary. Indeed in 1838 his Kassel assistant Moritz Hauptmann wrote to a friend: "Spohr said the other day that he would give a hundred Louis d'or to be able to play the piano." But Spohr was nothing if not dedicated in his determination to attempt "all branches of composition", as he put it. Within eleven years of Hauptmann's comment, he had produced five piano trios which rank among the best of the works dating from the later stages of his career. In the early 1800s he had felt that the piano, as it had been developed then, was not suitable for concerted works at all but only for the salon. By 1820, when he was in London and heard the English Broadwood pianos of the time, he changed his opinion and, as Dorette by now had been forced to give up the harp for health reasons, he composed for her a Piano and Wind Quintet in the hope of encouraging her to take up the instrument on which she had excelled in her youth. The quintet relies for its piano technique on the models of the virtuosi of the day such as Clementi, Field, Dussek, Hummel, Moscheles and Ries. Chopin, who thought the work "most beautiful", also complained that it was almost impossible to work out a practical fingering. So there events stayed until Spohr remarried in 1836, after Dorette' s death. His new wife, Marianne Pfeiffer, was an accomplished amateur who soon introduced Spohr to the latest piano works of composers like Mendelssohn, Chopin and Schumann. Fired with enthusiasm Spohr composed three large-scale sonatas for violin and piano, a number of smaller pieces for the same combination and a mass of songs with piano accompaniment. His first Trio (E minor, Op. 119) was completed in May, 1841, and appeared to rapturous acclaim by the critics so that his publisher was soon asking for more. It was not for nothing that the trio was published as Trio Concertant, for, as one reviewer pointed out: "Through all the details of its construction, even to the manner of using the instruments in combination, it has no parallel in the trios of Beethoven, Hummel, Mendelssohn, or any other writer." It was Spohr's specialist knowledge of string techniques which enabled him to give the violin and cello equality with the piano and also to introduce novel sonorities which earlier trio composers scarcely envisaged, such as at times giving the cello the real bass of the ensemble with the pianist's left hand playing well above it. The succeeding Trios No.2 in F major, Op. 123 of 1842, No.4 in B flat major, Op. 133 of 1846 and the two recorded here continued this process.
Piano Trio No.3 in A minor, Op. 124, The third trio was finished in October, 1842, and shows Spohr' s lyrical gift at its strongest. The cellist takes centre stage for the opening theme while the second subject is a broad, romantic tune which plays an unusually major rôle throughout the movement. The folk ballad-like theme of the second movement variations proves capable of wide-ranging treatment and the scherzo is a type in which Spohr specialised - slightly spectral as if showing the obverse side of Mendelssohn's "fairy" scherzos. Here, we are closer to the Brothers Grimm, the ugly sisters or wicked stepmothers rather than the elfin fairyland of Spohr's friend and fellow-composer. The quirky finale features catchy rhythms and an ingenious two-part theme with one element on the cello and the other on the violin. The cello's share also turns into the start of the second subject as things come to lively conclusion with a move into the tonic major.
Piano Trio No.5 in G minor, Op. 142, dates from October, 1849, at a time when Spohr's enthusiasm for the March, 1848, German revolution was turning to disappointment as the forces of repression began to regain control. In contrast to the joyful atmosphere radiating from his C major String Sextet composed in March-April 1848, "at the time of the glorious people's revolution", as Spohr himself entered in his catalogue of works, the trio is more disturbed. March-like rhythms predominate in the urgent opening movement, where both of the main themes are built from the same material. In contrast, nobility sings out in the Adagio while the Scherzo mixes a somewhat sinister quirkiness with the playfulness of its Trio section. The finale is even more unsettled than the first movement, especially in the central development and, despite a more optimistic second subject which follows a bridge passage built on an ominous ostinato in the strings, the G minor tonality returns at the end when the music subsides on a note of resigned acceptance.

The Hartley Piano Trio The Hartley Piano Trio was formed at London's Royal Academy of Music in 1980 under the guidance of Sidney Griller. A scholarship from The Leverhulme Trust brought further study, followed by a number of prizes and awards including the Incorporated Society of Musicians Young Artists Series and the Park Lane Group's Twentieth Century Music Series. The Trio, with a repertoire drawn from all periods, is in great demand throughout Britain and Europe and has undertaken concert-tours in France, the former Yugoslavia and Switzerland, in addition to festival appearances at Aldeburgh, Manchester and King's Lynn. Recordings include British, Czech and American trios, as well as a Beethoven disc that contains the composer' s own trio version of his second symphony.
Jacqueline Hartley The violinist Jacqueline Hartley has won a reputation as one of the foremost young orchestral leaders. She has made guest appearances with the London Bach Orchestra, the BBC Welsh and the Ulster Symphony Orchestras and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. In 1992 she was invited to lead the London Philharmonic Orchestra during their Glyndebourne season, while solo appearances include a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons at Kenwood Lakeside Bowl.
Lionel Handy Lionel Handy successfully combines a career as a soloist with the performance of chamber music and orchestral work, while serving as one of the youngest professors at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He distinguished himself early as a student at the Royal Academy and has a busy career that has taken him to the Americas, North Africa, Japan and Australia. His interest in twentieth century British music has brought performances of the cello concertos of Arnold Bax, Gerald Finzi and Williarn Walton, as well as the first performances of new works by James Ellis and Philip Grainge. He plays a Venetian cello by Montagnana kindly lent by the Poulton family.
Caroline Clemmow Born in London, Caroline Clemmow led the Kent Youth Orchestra as a violinist, before studying with a piano scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music in London. In addition to her work as a soloist and recitalist, she derives particular pleasure from the performance of chamber music in a very varied repertoire that has included a tour of the former Soviet Union performing complex twentieth century music, performance of music for percussion and piano with Evelyn Glennie and a major BBC series of late romantic French and Belgian piano quintets and quartets. A major part of her work is the flourishing piano duo with Anthony Goldstone.
