Generalized zonal wavefront reconstruction for high spatial resolution in lateral shearing interferometry |
JOSA A, Vol. 29, Issue 9, pp. 2038-2047 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1112 KB)
A new zonal wavefront reconstruction method for lateral shearing interferometry was presented. The proposed algorithm allows shear amounts equal to arbitrary integral multiple of the sample intervals. High spatial resolution reconstruction is achieved with only two difference wavefronts measured in orthogonal shear directions. The presented algorithm was generalized to be applicable for general aperture shape by using zero padding and Gerchberg-type iterative methods. The capability of the presented algorithm was demonstrated by some numerical examples. Also, the reconstruction error was analyzed theoretically and numerically.

Christianity and the Problem of Human Violence
From All-Creatures
Christian Living
True Christian living requires us to live according to Kingdom standards which bring Heaven to earth
Christianity and the Problem of Human Violence
By Stephen R. Kaufman, M.D.
Part 31: The New Testament: Introduction
[Acknowledgement: I have received many insights into the application of Girard's thought by Rev. Paul Neuchterlein, whose insightful commentaries on the Lectionary and sermons can be found at http://girardianlectionary.net .]
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:1-5)
This opening passage describes the Word of God creating order from chaos. From a Girardian perspective, chaos describes the primal human condition. Mimetic rivalry engenders universal hostility, and community (and therefore culture) is impossible. The human creation story we see in nearly every religion is that killing a scapegoat unifies the people and generates civilization. What is remarkable and distinctive about the Judaic-Christian creation story is that there is no violence. In contrast, consider the central Hindu creation myth, as described by Rev. Paul Neuchterlein:
Purusha, the primal human being who is described with godlike, grotesque dimensions (symbolizing the chaos), is dismembered and made into an offering to the gods by the gods. From his body derives everything, but what is specified in the myth is not so much the universe in general as things of human culture and institutions: purified butter for the ritual sacrifice, verse and chants, domesticated animals. Most telling is the Hindu hierarchical order for human community itself, the caste system: Purusha's head becomes the priestly class, the arms the noble-warrior class, the thighs the populace, and the feet the untouchables. The anthropologist can begin to deconstruct this myth: behind Purusha there is a real person collectively murdered who represents the chaos of the mimetic crisis and whose murder brings the ensuing order. In The Scapegoat, Girard elaborates such demythologizing with numerous examples.
"Light" is a frequent metaphor for revelation, and The Gospel According to John frequently equates God's revelation with light. "He [John the Baptist] came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. . . The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world." (John 1:7,9) John (the Gospel writer) also proclaimed: "This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in God there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). Similarly, Jesus says, "I am the way, and the truth, and the light" (John 14:6).
From a Girardian perspective, Christ's ministry is about revelation. Jesus said, "I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world." (Mt 13:35; see also Luke 11:50-51) What does Christ reveal, which has been hidden since the foundation of the world? The Girardian answer is the innocence of the sacrificial victim. Since the beginning of human culture, scapegoating has bound communities together. People have always attributed the scapegoating violence to their gods, failing to recognize that the people themselves have generated the violence. Jesus, reflecting the growing recognition among the ancient Hebrews that God wants love, not violence, declared, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." (Matthew 9:13, 12:9) As we will see in future essays, Jesus exposed the scandal of sacred violence and showed that God wants us to love.

Next time you buy a copy of coffee, imagine the barista telling you it will cost an extra dime to pay with your credit card. That has been verboten under the rules Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA) imposed on merchants, but an extra fee is now fair game because of a settlement in a class action lawsuit.
Billed as the largest antitrust class action, Visa, MasterCard, and a number of major banks agreed July 13 to pay more than $6 billion to settle retailers' claims that the card networks and their member banks fixed the prices for processing credit-card payments.
To resolve the cases that have been pending since 2005, Visa and MasterCard, along with the country's largest banks, including Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and Wells Fargo (WFC), will put $6.05 billion into an escrow account for about 7 million merchants. The settlement also gives merchants an eight-month reduction in fees.
Whether this helps consumers is up for debate. (Mother Jones's Kevin Drum says this reform could provide some much-needed data about how swipe fees are or are not passed along to consumers.) Some retailers may cringe at the idea of turning off customers by charging a fee to swipe their credit cards. But the threat of the extra fee could be a new weapon for big retailers as they negotiate with the networks.
Russell Walker, a professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, told Bloomberg News, "If you are a larger retailer, you can expect more power. For the smaller retailer, it will be harder to be treated in the same manner." It's not a surprise then that the trade association of convenience store owners plans to contest the settlement, saying it doesn't change the fundamental structure of where Visa and MasterCard set fees so banks don't need to compete for business. Some gasoline stations, and other small retail shops, already charge less for consumers who pay with cash.
Wall Street doesn't seem too concerned about Visa and MasterCard losing out on business. Since the announcement, the share prices of both networks have risen more than 3 percent. Visa traded above $128 on Monday morning, while MasterCard rose higher than $442. Deutsche Bank (DB) analyst Bryan Keane said the settlement was "less onerous" than expected and doesn't increase competition in setting the swipe fees. He recommended investors buy the networks "aggressively."
For investors, at least, potential barista fees don't threaten the status quo.


text: BMW S1000RR (2009-2011) Review Published: 27 November 2009 Sections: MCN Review Owners' Reviews Photo Gallery Facts & Figures History & Versions Bikes For Sale "BMW's first venture into modern superbike territory and hugely impressive" "BMW's first venture into modern superbike territory and hugely impressive" At a glance 999cc - 190 bhp 32 mpg - 147 miles range Insurance group: 17 of 17 Compare insurance quotes now Medium seat height (820mm) Overall Rating 5 out of 5 BMW's S1000RR is the German company's first venture into modern superbike territory and what a serious effort it is. Although it shares similar technology to the competition (GSX-R1000, Fireblade, ZX-10R etc) of dohc, 16-valves, stacked gearbox and so on, the engine delivers a mighty class leading claimed 190bhp at the back wheel. Add a good gearbox, impressive fuel injection and electronics, it all adds up to make the BMW shine brightest. As for handling; the S1000R was launched at Portugal's Portimao circuit and couldn't be faulted around one of the most tortuous tracks going. Ride Quality & Brakes 5 out of 5 Sachs suspension doesn't yet have the kudos of Ohlins, WP and Showa, but the massive 46mm front units and single rear shock are excellent. BMW have also made suspension adjustment very easy by numbering the suspension adjustment range and colour coding it, and all it takes is the owner's handbook to cross reference a suspension set up to suit the rider and conditions. You can also use the key as a screwdriver to make adjustments to the damping adjusters. On track the bike turns, stops and gives the rider so much confidence they will push harder and harder – and the BMW will take it in its stride. Engine 5 out of 5 Top marks are not just for the high bhp output alone, but also for the clever electronics. One part of which is the performance mode selection switch where four choices are manually selectable. 'Rain' mode caps power to 150bhp and reduces the torque output, it also smoothes the throttle response. 'Sport' is for dry road use; 'Race' mode is used in conjunction with treaded race tyres at a track day; and 'Slick' mode is for use with slick racing tyres. These final three modes all deliver the full 190bhp and torque output, but throttle response becomes more and more direct. As you'd expect with a claimed 190bhp at the crankshaft, the S1000RR is a serious powerhouse. But with rider aids like power mode selection and the optional ABS and DTC traction control, it is also a very safe bike to ride fast. Build Quality & Reliability 4 out of 5 BMW has recently admitted quality control on its bikes hasn't exactly been top notch over the past five years. With this in mind BMW, have gone overboard with mileage testing – 300 pre-production S1000RR have been used for testing, which includes track testing on circuits worldwide. Every new component has been tested for every possible scenario, from wet weather to vibration destruction. The one problem to come from the S1000RR's launch was some front brake discs warped. The problem was traced to the discs not being the correct thickness. Insurance, running costs & value 4 out of 5 The standard S1000RR has a 2009 list price of £10,950, which neatly places the BMW midway of the Japanese competition eg Yamaha's R1 has an official price of £11,120, and the GSX-R1000 £9921. The S1000RR Sport version comes with quickshifter, DTC traction control and race ABS as standard for £12,235. Find a BMW S1000RR for sale.Insurance group: 17 of 17 – compare motorcycle insurance quotes now. Equipment 4 out of 5 Easy to adjust suspension, Brembo radial front brake calipers, Bosch electronics all come together in a sorted package. The dash system doubles up as a lap timer. Optional extras make the S1000RR complete, like the Racing ABS and DTC traction control and BMW's own quick shifter system. You can buy the ABS system for £785 and the quick shift unit separately, but DTC has to used in conjunction with Race ABS for it to work (£1199 for the two).

However, i have been extremely frustrated with the short-term build quality of the bike and the absolutely terrible BMW service response. When i first received the bike, it ran and sounded perfect. However the suspension ride was too tight for my low weight which had softened slightly. After only three months i have encountered numerous problems developing with bike, including: - extremely sqeaky front breaks - gap when apply acceleration on the chain (where it seems to slip a few centimeters before grabbing and engaging the back wheel) - light metal rubbing sound in the back wheel area when coasting - an incredibly soft or deteriorated carbon fiber tail pipe (silencer); so soft that a passenger's light foot pressure cracked/smashed the carbon housing I have taken the bike into the BMW dealer several times and on all the above issues get the same indifferent response - "this is the way this bike is". Also, i have had to ask several times to adjust he suspension, because they never seem to be able set correctly. I love my other BMW bike, and the life-span/durability and service has been generally excellent. With the S1000R its been a whole different story.

States Shaming People into Paying Back Taxes
At least 13 states are using cleverly named websites such as CyberShame and DelinqNet to list the names of people who owe the states money.
"We're trying to shame people," Danny Brazell of the South Carolina Department of Revenue, told CBS. South Carolina credits its website Debtor's Corner with helping to net $5.5 million in newly collected taxes. The site has been up since 2001.
"To have your neighbors be able to see your debt, that would be embarrassing of course, and that's the whole idea."
The sites are generating a lot of traffic from nosy neighbors wanting to see who's in debt with some sites getting thousands of hits each day. The State of Georgia's site includes the names of several celebrities, including the estate of the late rapper Tupac Shakur, which owes $85,260, and the estate of the late TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, which owes about $550,000, CBS reported. Georgia's site has garnered $1.2 million in the last two months - a drop in the bucket for a state that has $1.6 billion in unpaid taxes.
"We don't have the assets to go out and chase these 420,000 people ourselves," Department of Revenue spokesman Charles Willey told CBS.
Privacy advocates worry about the states making mistakes and needlessly embarrassing people. "There's always the question of what happens if the government is wrong," Pete Sepp, spokesman for the Washington-based tax watchdog group National Taxpayers Union, told CBS. "This kind of information can ruin the financial reputations of people for years."

Well Done Tameside
And Well Done Dave
Sir Edmund Shaa
Lord Mayor Of London 1482
A couple of weeks ago Dave went to Mottram to take photos of the Blue Plaque commemorating Sir Edmund Shaa which the Tameside website said was on Church Brow in Mottram.
Sir Edmund Shaa
Lord Mayor Of London 1482
The first photo should show the plaque, but the spot was completely covered by foliage. Dave contacted Tameside Council to tell them about this and Friday he had an email saying that they've had the foliage cleared, and the last two photos are what he found when I went there Friday afternoon.
Dave was well pleased and rightly so by another excellent response from Tameside Council! It was Dave, John Thornley and myself that bought the broken Hyde Lads Club monument to Councillor Fitzpatrick's attention and he and the council promptly dealt with... well done again to all concerned.

Hyde Co-op
Here is a picture of the Co-op shop on the corner of Mottram Road and Lumn Road.
They were such useful,convenient shops. Unfortunately, the dawn of supermarkets heralded the end of them as they could not longer compete with floor space or prices..

Hyde Market And The Mall
Here's three pictures Dave has come across of the market.They appear to have come from a newspaper or magazine but we don't know what date the photos were taken. Dave says if they were all taken at the same time the cars in the third photo it suggests that it was in the 1970s.
Cheers Dave.. these are great.

Grapes Hotel
I've often wondered who Bells & Co. were... I always knew the Grapes as a Robinsons House. It seems Bell & Co Ltd brewed at Hempshaw Brook Brewery, Hempshaw Lane, Stockport was founded by Avery Fletcher in 1835 and was acquired by Smith & Bell in 1850. Registered in 1898. The brewery was then acquired by Frederic Robinson Ltd in April 1949 with over160 other tied houses.
The old pub is seeing a new lease of life.. especially at the weekend when it attracts folk from far and wide.. Marcello the landlord had the pub refurbished and a fine Italian restaurant was added. The Grapes is a lovely old building that has changed little considering.. and the refurbishment made great use of many of the original features, like the stained glass windows and fireplaces. There's a link above which is well worth following just to read the menus.. long may the Grapes be a part of Gee Cross.

Mottram Old Road Post Card
Below pictures supplied by Dave
The first two photos attached are what Dave has taken today, the first being the original photo, and the second is one he's cropped and skewed to try to match the view in the postcard.
The third attachment is the view from Google Streetview of the spot from which Dave took the photo, and the fourth one is from Google Earth showing Mottram Old Road from the viewpoint up to the buildings shown.
Dave thinks the actual viewpoint for the postcard was down the slope to maybe level with where you can see the horse in the top to pictures, as the hills in the background on the postcard look a bit lower down than in his photo (you can just see the distant hills faintly on the postcard).
Thank you Dave for a great update

The Stage Builders ( Zions)
This is the team who helped to build a stage at Zion's in the 1950s, picture supplied by Fred Booth.. far right.
Albert Clithero with Fred Booth
Walter Beaumont
I wonder if there's anyone reading this that might know any of the others who are not named.. and maybe a picture of the stage from that time would be a nice addition to this post.
Here is a photo from one of the many pantomimes at the Zion circa 1950's
Any help on when and what the production was would be welcomed :)

Booth's Taxi's
A great picture of Fred Booth at the wheel of his taxi, it says on the back of this photograph "Ibbotson's of Market Street - Fish & Chip Shop.

Booth's Taxi's and Coaches would have been a regular sight around Hyde at one time... I recall the coaches and the garage off Dowson Road... but know very little about the company... I'm sure in old publication there must be adverts for them.. Did you use their taxi's or recall a coach trip.. if so let us know.
I've been informed that an A and H Booth, Bus and Coach Hire are working out of Grosvenor Garage... I do hope this is still part of the original Booth family.

Hyde Cafe
I've only ever heard of this cafe... I grew up hearing it mentioned in my childhood, so when scanning the pictures that Fred Booth kindly left with me I was more than pleased to see these. I'm hoping our comment section gets a few memories from your memories of this place .. I look forward to reading them.

Market Square
Painting by Hyde Artist Harry Rutherford
Dave Williams as come up trumps for us again... Here's a rare view on a postcard of the Market Square, complete with the stone seating, and the base of the fountain as well. We've been trying to get a picture of this since we started the blog and this is the best that as turned up so far...
Now for the Future
Hyde Outdoor Market Redevelopment
Hyde is to get a new market and civic square as part of a £1.2 million project to improve the town centre and attract more traders and shoppers.
A well-attended public consultation meeting took place in July. Opinions were given by businesses, traders and residents, and Tameside Council has taken these on board as it finalises the scheme.
The proposed plans are now on public display in a variety of community venues including the outdoor and indoor markets, Clarendon Shopping Centre, Hyde Town Hall and Hyde Library.
Pending planning approval, works are due to start early next year and be completed by September. The works will be done in phases so that the market remains open throughout as will the indoor market, located within the Clarendon Shopping Centre.
In addition to the physical improvements, the Council is committed to supporting existing businesses in Hyde and to attracting new ones.
Proposed Layout
To see the plans in PDF Format clock below
I wish the council and the Town all the very best in this venture and hope that shops and shoppers come back to Hyde in greater numbers than of late. Plan's such as this should be welcomed with open arms. What worries me is that as this venture is about to start the planning department have granted the change of use to three more shops as food takeaways in the last two weeks. Surly Hyde as more than it's share.... and Market Street is every bit as important as the Market Square.

PS4 And Xbox One Accessories
Don't Game Alone - These Are The Accessories Your Console Needs
Both systems are fun to play straight out of the box, but third-party companies -- and in some cases, the manufacturers themselves -- are designing aftermarket peripherals that enhance the gameplay experience even more.
Xbox One
Polk Audio N1 Gaming SurroundBarThe N1 is different from other sound bars because it was specifically made for gamers. Designed and engineered with Microsoft's input, the Gaming SurroundBar has four built-in EQ levels, including First-Person Shooter, Racing, Cinema and Music. Although N1's retail price is just under $300, the unit sounds as crisp and powerful as sound bars that are twice as expensive. The built-in Dolby Digital and Polk SDA Surround Sound technologies get the job done.
Microsoft Xbox One Play and Charge Kit
The Xbox One is a phenomenal machine, but Microsoft really should have included a rechargeable battery for the Xbox Box One Controller. The Play and Charge kit resolves that issue. Much like the 360 version, the new kit comes with a lithium ion battery and USB charging cable. Users can play games while charging or while Xbox One is in standby mode. A full charge takes about four hours.
Mad Catz Pro Racing Force Feedback Wheel and Pedals for Xbox One
Mad Catz designers labored alongside the makers of Forza Motorsport 5 (an Xbox One exclusive title) to create a highly realistic wheel-and-pedals combo. Although the unit can be used for arcade racers, it was designed specifically for simulation. The steering wheel is detachable and can be moved from 0 to 15 degrees, and the pedals feature adaptable spring force with multiple different positions. It is pricey, but judging from the attention to detail that Mad Catz put into it, it will be worth it.

Stars pay tribute to Dave Brubeck
QUINCY JONES and JAMIE CULLUM have led tributes to jazz legend DAVE BRUBECK following his death on Wednesday (05Dec12).
The revered musician and Dave Brubeck Quartet bandleader passed away at a Connecticut hospital a day before his 92nd birthday.
Cullum posted a picture of himself and Brubeck to his Twitter.com page and wrote, "A great man on and off the stage. I was so lucky to have met him. RIP good sir. You deserve it."
And Jones declared the late musician was "one of the great jazz pianist and composers of our generation".
There have also been online tributes paid by celebrity fans Randy Jackson and comedienne Sandra Bernhard, who wrote, "In honor of the greatest jazz songwriters of all time why don't we 'take five' to remember dave brubeck."
Take Five was Brubeck's biggest hit.

Learn more about the latest technologies, innovations and features that set Yamaha boats apart.
There's a Yamaha dealer near you ready to help you find your new boat.
Many Yamaha dealers have demo programs so you can experience a Yamaha Boat first hand.
Find one near you.
Yamaha boat engines have long led the industry in reliability, performance, and fuel efficiency.
Yamaha hulls are engineered for peak performance, stylish design, and freedom on the water.
A key distinction: The hull of every Yamaha boat is designed in tandem with its power plant. No mix–and–match here.
Yamaha engineers don't merely grab an off–the–shelf engine, drop it into a hull, and hope for the best. Every Yamaha boat is precision–designed and engineered together, hull and powerplant working in tandem, maximizing fun and performance on the water.
Yamaha's Advanced Responsive Handling is a suite of technologies that provide maximum control, confidence and maneuverability at slow, medium and top speeds. This includes the all new Articulating Keel, as well as No Wake Mode and Thrust Directional Enhancer.
The Articulating Keel is a simple yet ingenious mechanism that serves as an extension of the boat's keel but with a back end that moves and tracks through the water in perfect relation to the jet pump nozzles. Steering response is immediate. Straight line tracking at any speed is effortless.
No Wake Mode, an important part of Yamaha's Advanced Responsive Handling, provides maximum control for the driver at a variety of slow speeds, maximizing pump thrust and enhancing all around maneuverability of the boat at slow speeds.
Another key aspect to Yamaha's Advanced Responsive Handling is the award winning Thrust Directional Enhancer, or TDE. This Yamaha exclusive technology directs the water thrust at an optimal angle.
Yamaha's 24-foot boats in 2015 all come equipped with Yamaha Quiet Cruise, a new ground up complete platform based system of sound dampening that creates a quiet, comfortable ride for all on board. Yamaha Quiet Cruise significantly controls the amount of engine noise and vibration that enters the cabin to allow the driver and passengers to engage in conversation at all speeds and enjoy their surroundings.
The benefits of owning a Yamaha extend well beyond the exciting weekends spent with friends and family. Every Yamaha comes recreation–ready, fully-equipped with a total package of amenities that brings the good life to life on the water

The story so far
Mordreds' Tale
In lieu of recent events I feel the time has come for me to write down my past. Not to justify my actions, past and future, but to give others an insight in to the choices I had to make. I only hope history is more kind to me than I have been to some of its people.
- What came before
- What is ahead
- A new threat
- Honorable enemies
- From bad to worse
- Full circle

Hey, if a change needs to be made for the sake of change, I'm okay with that. To lay it at the feet of one man is misguided at best because there are so many other moving parts, which many posters are reluctant to admit.
Would you agree that overall the Texans personnel has improved as a whole? If so, wouldn't that lead us to believe that the nonstarters talent level on the team has increased & those are the players being utilized on the ST's so the production should be improving, not regressing? Have we not also seen a pair of our returners leave for other teams this season & have success that seemed hard to come by here? With improved personnel & an obvious improvement in former players play elsewhere that can really only lead to one issue for regressing ST's imo & that's poor coaching.
It's not change for the sake of change when you are one of the worst in the NFL at that aspect of the game. It's change for the sake of improving the team & to strengthen an area of known weakness. There are many moving parts, but assuming that the coaching is always adequate & never at fault seems a bit misguided to me. Coaches have been fired & performances have improved due to it on plenty of occasions. Hardly a new concept.

The Much Maligned 527 and Institutional ChoiceLloyd Hitoshi MayerNotre Dame Law School 2007 Boston University Law Review, Vol. 87, p. 625, 2007 Notre Dame Legal Studies Paper No. 06-15 Abstract: The continuing controversy over 527 organizations has led Congress to impose extensive disclosure requirements on these political organizations and to consider imposing extensive restrictions on their funding as well. The debate about what laws should govern these entities has, however, so far almost completely ignored the fact that such laws raise a complicated institutional choice question. This Article seeks to resolve that question by developing a new institutional choice framework to guide this and similar choices. The Article first explores the context for making this determination by describing the current laws governing 527s, including both federal election laws administered by the Federal Election Commission and federal tax laws administered by the Internal Revenue Service. The Article then proposes and applies an institutional choice framework to guide the decision of into which body of substantive law the current and proposed rules for 527s should be incorporated. The Article concludes that while regulation of political activity through both election law and tax law can work reasonably well, the different tasks for which these bodies of law and their implementing agencies are best suited require a different allocation of responsibilities than both current and proposed laws governing 527s provides. Finally, the Article identifies other areas that may benefit from application of this framework. Number of Pages in PDF File: 65 Keywords: 527, Institutional Choice, Institutional Design, Campaign Finance, Tax-Exempt Organization, Political Organization, FEC, IRS JEL Classification: K34, K39 Date posted: August 21, 2006 ; Last revised: February 24, 2009Suggested CitationContact Information

September 7th, 2004 | #3 |
Basically donate 10milbucks to me, so i can make sure ur a valid player.
Every 10milbucks is one row of numbers like:
I will not be making up the ticket numbers, therefore i wont know whos gonna win or not before hand. Its all based on luck. |

Odds are now 1 in 2.9324206788413554493593651364265e+47
(that's scientific notation) or 1 in 29,324,206,788,413,554,493,593,651,364,265,000,000 ,000,000,000 Quote:

Well the odds are a lot less not considering i made the numbers from 1-20. Besides, i'll probably make it so some one wins ever once in a while.
September 7th, 2004 | #6 |
But Darkmb isn't forcing anyone to play....
September 7th, 2004 | #7 | |
Ok again I really don't care but the odds are VERY VERY high.
As to forcing someone to play, it's an issue of getting someone to play that I'm talking about. Lastly when you say you'll fix it so someone wins, then it's not a lotto and it then takes on the chance of being rigged. My suggestion for a fun lotto.... any number four digits long (1 in 10000 odds) numbers cost 5 bucks wining number matches the NY daily pick 4 for the same date (fully random and verifiable). Pot is 50% of the total, the other 50% stays to build the next pot. But it's a moot point as it was clearly stated one should "earn" points. Quote:

Don't be a party pooper!
September 8th, 2004 | #9 |
So is ANY one willing to play?
September 8th, 2004 | #10 |
I am! But I am a little busy running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I will try later today or tonight!
Thanks! |

Allow player homes to have foragers, craft chests etc. In a word, all that a guild hall can have. The player base is decreasing, truly active guilds are harder and harder to come by. We need some method to support the single players with the same feature set. |

Small park but great location. On the river and only 2 miles from town. The road to the golf course is just down the street. Nice wide sites, good power and water pressure. No sewer, as you are right on the river. Owners have installed new bathrooms with new separate showers, very nice. If you have a big rig make an early reservation as those spaces are limited. Large grass area with a BBQ and fire pit area. Will be back. We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2013 - $50.00
A nice small park and the only one in the Crested Butte area. Very nice grassy area between the park and the river with a children's play area and picnic shelter w/tables overlooking the river. Closeness of the river will require keeping close eye on children. All interior roads and parking slots are hard packed gravel. There is a good amount of room to maneuver around the sites. There are a limited number of "big rig" slots. Make sure you have reservations, if they are full you are looking at a 30 mile drive back to Gunnison for alternative parks. The area is new and still being developed. They are trying to develop plantings between the sites but given the growing conditions it may be a while before there is effective screening. Biggest drawback is the lack of sewer. Not only does this impact dumping but it also impacts the shower facilities which are very close to non-existent. Had good water and electric and the site was close to level. A nice dog area, but is unfenced so would not work for dogs that do not respond to voice commands. Real quiet while we were there. Good Verizon cell coverage, but had to go outside for reliable Wi-Fi. Awesome views except to the east where there is a light industrial area. We would stay here again and the sewer issue is the only thing that prevented me from giving a 9 rating. We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Tent Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2013 - $50.00
Rate is end of year. Sixty five all summer. A bit high, but what a great place. All gravel, but level. No laundry and a shower in a tent type barn. No sewer, which is tough if you want to stay a while. They offer a pump service from town that comes out for a fee. BUT... what a view and what a setting. It's a 12 on any scale. Right on a creek with picnic pavilion and fireplace sitting with a view that cannot be beat. I WILL stay here again. We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2013 - $60.00
Throughout our entire week stay we found the owners/staff to be genuine and true both in their customer service, character, and attention to details that make for a very pleasant place to vacation. This tidy, peaceful and pet friendly RV park is located just 2 miles from town, and the bike path begins across the street. Spotless, private restrooms and a unique shower situation go a long way to help save the holding tanks as there is no sewer as the park located within a flood plane. There is a weekly honey dipper, so no matter what, you can camp here with ease and enjoy the sounds of the river or watch the clouds billow overhead. Private waters to fish are literally right out the back! There is a nice off leash dog area where the pups can also take a swim. A horseshoe pit, and a shaded BBQ area with brand new tables and beautiful views are sure to meet anyone's approval. We had no problems backing into our extra-large, perfectly landscaped site. We can't wait to return again next year!! We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $60.00
This park is two miles south of town. There are beautiful mountain views and the park is located right on the Slate river. Great trout fishing is available on site. There is a nice bike trail to town and some of the best mountain bike trails we have ever been on are near by. A world class Robert Trent Jones golf course is just a short drive away. Can it get any better? There are no sewer hookups as the park is in a wetland area near the river that prohibits a septic tank for this purpose. This is remedied by a mobile service that is arranged by the owners. Our tanks were emptied while we were away enjoying activities in the Crested Butte area. Most importantly the owners are very caring and hospitable. We had a mechanical breakdown with our diesel pusher in Crested Butte that threatened to ruin our vacation. The owners Kevin and Cari arranged to get a mechanic to repair our RV on site during the Fourth of July weekend. We made the 600 mile trip home without difficulty. We can't wait to go back next year! We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $50.00
We stayed here twice this Summer and found the owners were very nice and the park is new but very nice and quite. It is very close to Crested Butte and also close to bike trails. We stayed in our 45ft MH and had lots of room for tow car and motorcycles. The place has a park like setting with a river running thru it. We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: June, 2013 - $35.00
This is a great place to stay. We stayed next to the river. The site had a fire pit, grass and picnic table. Very clean and well kept. Owner was very friendly! Because of the river there are no sewer hookups. If need be there is a pumping service available so you don't have to move if you're staying a few days. There is great mountain biking out your door. Golf course entrance just across the street with town less than two miles away. We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2012 - $45.00
This park is the only RV park in Crested Butte. It is 2 miles South of town just off the highway. The Park has only been open for a week and they are still getting things prepared for business. The grounds and sites are gravel, but the dust in the park is very low. There is a large grass area but no shade for a few years until the trees grow larger. Fantastic views of the river or mountains. There is no sewer hook up, but Crested Butte has a 24/7 dump station. The owner is a landscaper, so I would expect this park to be top notch soon in that respect. He is busy planting trees and plants as I type this. There is a bike path just across the highway that leads to town. Amenities are scarce at this point, but again, they are just 1 week old. There are showers available a few hundred yards away at another business. I am giving this park an 8 based on no sewer and no showers or other amenities. I think that they will grow up into a 10 as the owners develop the grounds. I will stay here again as the location and the views can't be beat. Our rig was 40 ft long and with a tow we had plenty of room. We camped at Crested Butte RV Resort in a Motorhome.

252 Tasting Notes
A sample of this was provided to me by looseTman – much appreciated, since I was pretty curios about these tea's.
Dry leaf form is long, twisted, with rose petals, and chunks of vanilla bean, papaya and orange peel. The aroma is slightly floral. I don't generally enjoy floral tea's, but one never knows unless they try.
After steeping for 4 minutes at about 90 produced a chardonnay coloured brew (no surprises there). The aroma was quite vanilla, but one of the vanilla chunks was quite large.
If I were to try this tea blind-folded I would say it's all vanilla. I didn't pick up any of the other spices or fruit flavours that other's have. I like vanilla, so that is not a problem for me. As a vanilla tea – it's quite good. But this doesn't say chardonnay to me.
I have enough of the sample provided to have a couple of more tries to see if I can pull out other flavours.
Another tea from Dexter – thank you! So many tea's from swaps, it seems like I don't have my own tea.
I really enjoy these types of oolong's. Charcoal with roasted notes to be found in the background. In this one I got some mineral notes as well. I appreciate that the charcoal notes in this tea aren't so powerful that they don't let the other flavours through. The brew is a beautiful colour – almost purple in the cup that I'm using.
The second steep didn't work out too well – too bitter. But most likely due to my bad…water temp was too high, I think.
This is the type of tea that would be perfect on those crisp but sunny autumn days. I have enough for one more cup, and I'm gonna save it for that perfect autumn day.
When I opened the packet I couldn't tell if this was an oolong or black tea. there was nothing on the packet to indicate which it was. the leaves were huge, twisted and dark chocolate in colour.
The steep was brewed for 2 minutes, below boiling. The colour was deep amber.
Took my first sip…aaargh – too hot! Burned tongue :(
Lesson learned. Waited a minute or two before taking another sip. Hmmm. This seems to be a little too fruity for my liking (burned tongue did not factor in my opinion). But, I kept sipping. As the cup cooled…WOW! Rich, thick honey flavour came through. I was convinced I wouldn't like this, but it is so much better a little cooler.
Second steep was at 4 minutes. Let the cup cool a bit, and same sweet cup of honey.
Thanks for the sample, Dexter! It didn't start too well for me, but ended up being really good!
I just finished steep two of this tea, after 2.5 hours of vacuuming in this disgusting heat and humidity (I love the beast, but man, can he shed!). I debated whether I actually wanted hot tea after vacuuming and sweating (and, yes – some cursing), but decided to go for it anyway.
The dry leaf is interesting. LooseTman already said it…short dark twisted leaves, and some tiny dark pebble-like leaves. I've never heard of manuka, and since looseTman already provided links in his post, I now know what it is, and I guess that's what those green leaves in the blend were.
The manuka provided a light aromatic essence of pine in dry leaf form, which I don't recall getting in my brewed cup in the first steep. But I added a bit of creamer to the first cup, so that was probably why I didn't get the pine essence. I don't usually add creamer, but I think my time contraints this morning made me add it, so that I could sip it quickly and do my chores and errands.
I found the pine notes were more prominent in steep 2 – no creamer additives this time. The second steep was malty delicousness. The manuka leaves added an interesting note, with what I might otherwise find to be just another malty assam.
I appreciate the sample looseTman…this was different in a good way! I have enough leaves for a few more cups, and will be very sad when this is gone. Tasty indeed.
The first time I had this tea, the smokiness that I usually associate with keemuns eluded me. I couldn't find it. What I do recall from the first cup was the fruitiness that came through.
Today's cup is different. I took my time and paid attention. The fruit note was still predominant, but I found those subtle tobacco and smoke notes. They came through at the end of the sip and sat on the tongue for a bit before disappearing. Interesting.
I have a couple of keemuns in my cupboard that I need to taste to see how this compares. I haven't had keemun in a while. When I finally found the tobacco notes I enjoyed that, although I wish there was a touch more smoke.
My thanks to looseTman for providing me with a sample!
I received a surprise package from JustJames quite some time ago, and I've been remiss in posting any notes on the lovely tea's that were generously sent my way. Partly because I've been turning away from flavoured tea's in favour of straight up tea's. But once in a while I indulge and reach for flavoured.
On opening the sample packet I could immediately detect the sweetness and vanilla. I used to be fanatical about vanilla tea's, and this just reawakened my love for all things vanilla.
Sweet, delicious caramel and vanilla. Mmmm.
Thanks JustJames!
I slept in this morning, and now I feel a little groggy and out of my element. I've got a lot of stuff/chores to do, and 'cos I feel so bleh, it's gonna be hard to get going.
So to make myself feel better I decided chocolate was the way to go. Chocolate tea, that is. YUM! Malty, chocolatey deliciousness.
Thanks for the sample, Dexter!
It is really stinky hot and humid, and for these type of days I usually find myself slurping back cold brews, but they don't usually give me the caffeine jolt that I need to get going. Usually I drink fruity herbals cold brewed. So, I do need a strong, caffeinated brew to get me going. This one.
This is strong – just what I needed. First steep at 3 minutes with near boiling water resulted in a coppery clear brew that was strong, malty and earthy. My second steep at 4 minutes was still flavourful, but the malt was toned down, letting through more of the earthy notes.
A surprise and a delight, I think I'll have to explore more Kenyan blacks. I like to start my days with a strong malty tea and this satisfied that need. Thanks to looseTman for the sample!
For some time this company and these tea's have intrigued me, and I wanted really badly to sample the tea's, but for some reason never placed an order. My opportunity to try a couple of these finally came up in a recent swap.
I've had the merlot twice. My first sampling of it yesterday didn't work out. While the leaf in the bag smelled sweet, it didn't translate to flavour. That was my fault. I think I over-leafed and water temp was too hot. Yesterday's cup was disappointing.
I tried again today, and decided to let the water cool a bit longer and used less leaf. I also added a drop or 2 of agave, just to see if that would pull out more flavour. Today's brew was a lot more flavourful. I definitely got the grape/wine coming as the cup continued to cool down. The problem today was the agave that I thought would help, but in fact made the brew too sweet.
So maybe third time will be the charm, and hopefully tomorrow's sipdown of this I'll get it right. I guess I should bust out the thermometer for proper brewing temp and skip the sweetener.
Thanks to looseTman for providing me with a sample.

Recipe by Always Cooking Up Something
"A savory combination of chicken, sweet potato, and spinach is seasoned with sage, sweetened with pear, given a splash of whiskey for a kick, and topped with toasted hazelnuts. It makes a lovely fall supper!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, cut into cubes
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon Irish whiskey
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 pear - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup water
2 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Really nice hash style recipe. Only thing I added was some spicy seasoning at the end. Do toast the hazlenuts.. there is a huge difference in thair flavor. Taste some untoasted and then toast some up... so much better toasted
Made this tonight on a whim to use some sweet potatoes I had. I used some drumsticks instead just because I had them and it was great. It was delicious! I would however make a few adjustments next time. I loved the pears and would add another. I would also double the spinach, since it cooks down so much. Other than that - fab!
21 Ratings
I changed a few things... use apples instead of pears as that was all I had, used Jack Daniels instead of Irish Whiskey, walnuts instead of hazelnuts and used chicken boullion instead of just water. I also tripled the whiskey amount, as my husband and I both love the taste of whiskey and the dish was not overpoweringly whiskey tasting. It was perfect! Absolutely will make again, especially in the fall.
My husband and I are about to endure a 30 day cut diet, so with a few modifications, this will be one of the recipes. I toasted slivered almonds, used ground sage (about 1 tbsp); used three thinned chicken breasts and substituted one apple (which will likely fall out once the diet starts, though shouldn't alter the taste greatly). Also, if you don't add some olive oil during the browning of the sweet potatoes, they will get destroyed.
I hate when people rate recipes after they've altered it, but I'm sure the original is just as good, if not better, than the version I made. Based on what I had on hand, I used granny smith apples instead of pears, omitted the whiskey, and used toasted almonds instead of hazelnuts. It was delicious! Next time I will make it as written to see which version is better, but I'll leave the chicken out because I don't think it adds anything.
I doubled the recipe and used leftover cooked chicken. I even made sure to buy hazelnuts for this and toasted them which was very easy to do. This recipe was delicious and a good way of getting a lot of healthy items into my hubbys diet in one dish. Spinach cooked down so much that even more could be added without overpowering the taste of this lovely hash.
Very good. The flavors work together. I doubled the recipe but only had one pear. It prbably would have been beter with two.
All I can say about this is FANTASTIC! The only thing i did different was use applesauce instead of pears cuz i didnt have anything else bt it was still amazing!

COLUMBIA —The City Council approved a large project that could help to relieve some of the traffic on Stadium Boulevard between Broadway and Interstate 70.
On Monday, the council authorized an agreement with three Transportation Development Districts on Stadium Boulevard that would help finance an $18 million to $20 million project to widen the road to six lanes. MoDOT allotted $8.9 million for the project, which must be matched. To cover the rest, the city would have to use low interest loans from the state that would be repaid by the TDDs.
The council held a work session last week about the risk of depending on TDDs to repay loans when TDDs pay for road projects with their own sales taxes that are sensitive to economic conditions. If the TDD money comes in lower than expected, "if all heck broke loose and the mall closes," as Bill Watkins, city manager, put it, the city could be on the hook for around $500,000 every six months.
"I think this is a reasonable risk, but I don't want someone coming back seven years from now saying Watkins blew it," Watkins said, explaining why he was making it so clear the risk the city would take on.
Council members indicated that they trusted the revenue projections and felt it was a reasonable risk for the city to take. But Watkins warned that even this would only be a temporary fix to the city's traffic issues.
"Now, this is a band-aid, but if you want to really get traffic off Stadium, we need another interchange connected to Scott Boulevard," Watkins said.
Monday was the first meeting since Watkins released his proposed fiscal year 2010 budget. The council went over a few of their own suggestions for large city project priorities highlighted in the Capital Improvement Plan, the topic of the first public hearing for the $403 million budget.
The CIP is a planning document for city projects over the next 10 years, and only the first year in the plan is fiscally constrained.
The Planning and Zoning Commission's comments on the CIP suggested raising the priority of park improvements at the new high school location and Stephens Lake Park. But Finance Director Lori Fleming warned it would be difficult to move up park projects in the CIP because the eighth-cent park sales tax will expire in 2011.
Third Ward Karl Skala suggested moving a Ballenger Lane project higher in the priority list to coincide with ongoing work on Mexico Gravel Road.
Fourth Ward Councilman Jerry Wade pointed to what he saw as dangerous intersections on Fairview Road at Ash Street and Chapel Hill Road and suggested safety improvements be added to the CIP.
Wade also pointed to the city's stormwater funding structure and said that eventually the city is going to have to ask the public for help.
"I think the CIP clearly demonstrates the crisis in stormwater project funding," he said.
Doug Lange, representing Stephens College, requested that the council add repairs to the Stephens College bridges in the Broadway-College Avenue intersection to the CIP. He said the $250,000 to $500,000 repairs would be necessary within five years, and that the college will finance them with or without the city's help. But he said it could be a good opportunity for a public-private partnership, and that the city might have access to certain funds and grants that the college does not.
"We think it's a shame to move forward without talking to the city to see what's possible," he said.
Wade subsequently made a motion to consider adding the project to the CIP.

Two persons died in two road accidents and three persons ended their lives in the city since Friday night.
Shivajinagar resident Jamshed Badshah (30), a goldsmith, was killed when an APSRTC bus ran over him near Balekundri Circle late on Friday, the Cubbon Park police said.
Badshah was riding home when the bus, which took a sweeping turn at the circle, brushed against his two-wheeler, sending him flying. The rear wheels of the bus ran over Badshah, killing him on the spot. Bus driver Ram Babu was arrested.
In another accident on Saturday morning, Satendar (18), a painter, was run over by a tractor as he was trying to cross the Outer Ring Road in Marathahalli, near Karthiknagar bus-stand. The Uttar Pradesh native had just got down from the bus. The HAL Airport police seized the tractor and are looking for the driver who fled.
Hang themselves
The body of Shubha (23), who hanged herself in her paying guest accommodation in HMT Layout on Friday, was discovered by her roommate Jyothi on Friday night.
The Yeshwantpur police said Shubha had left a note apologising to her parents.
Shubha lived with her mother in Kuwait ever since her parents divorced about 15 years ago. Her father, Panduranga, a real estate businessman, is a resident of Bommanahalli. About two months ago, the unemployed Shubha had come down to the city and had resumed ties with her father.
Chinnathambi (19), an autorickshaw driver, hanged himself in his home in Ambedkarnagar.
The Yeshwantpur police said his sister Gomathi was to be married soon and she and their mother, Vanamathi, had gone to Tamil Nadu for shopping. The suicide came to light when they returned on Friday night.
Shilpa (15) hanged herself from a tree in front of her residence in Benson Town in the early hours of Saturday.
The J.C. Nagar police said she left no note but were told by her parents that their daughter suffered frequent stomach ache.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Life sometimes carries us to deep, dark, places. This is a story about climbing out.
It starts with a self-absorbed drug dealer standing before a federal judge in Minneapolis. Michael Bellotti was 24 years old, a veteran of multiple arrests - and newly sentenced to more than 12 years in prison.
"To listen to the judge convict him was probably one of the worst things a parent could ever hear," says his mother, Diana Williams.
"It doesn't even seem real," adds Bellotti, looking back.
As he was hauled off to federal prisons in Sandstone and then Duluth, Bellotti couldn't have slipped much lower. Turns out, that's what it took for him to begin picking himself back up, KARE-TV reported (http://kare11.tv/17zXpA6).
Encouraged by another inmate, Bellotti started painting. He'd lost interest in his studies early on in high school, and certainly didn't take an art class. But once he started, he couldn't stop.
"I bought the Bob Ross 'Joy of Painting' book," says Bellotti about his instruction. He painted every single day -- every minute, really -- that he wasn't eating, sleeping or required to be in his cell.
His work was rudimentary at first, but he was making strides. Bellotti would scour other inmate's magazines for interesting photographs and then paint them.
"It was my escape," he says. He produced hundred of paintings.
Bellotti had been given a gift. Then, at his mother's urging, he gave one back.
Bellotti's cousin, Adam Carter, died of cancer while he was away at prison. Williams asked her son to paint a picture of Adam as a Christmas present for Adam's parents.
Mary Carter, Adam's mother, had heard her nephew had taken up painting in prison, but had no idea how far he had come as an artist.
She'd been overwhelmed with grief over the loss of her son. "It was so dark. Yeah, I was lost," she says.
But after opening Adam's portrait at a family holiday gathering and wiping away her tears, Carter had a feeling it was the beginning of something special. "I knew right then, that was something we could do."
A few months later when Carter saw a photo of McKenna Johnson, a 10-year-old from Brooklyn Park, in a newspaper obituary, she was ready.
"I literally just showed up at their doorstep with it," says Carter about the portrait she'd asked her nephew to paint.
On the other side of the door was McKenna's mother, Krista Johnson. "Just out of the blue here's this woman who comes and delivers to me a beautiful painting and portrait of my daughter."
Johnson broke into tears. "He'd actually captured everything about her that was beautiful in that painting," she said.

"A man generally tries to win an argument by coming up with facts that are totally meaningless to her," says Michael Staver, the author of 21 Ways to Defuse Anger and Calm People Down. "She filters that as being disrespectful and not listening, which ticks her off all the more."
