Whether it's the swanky rooftop of the Admiral, or the old abandoned rec center pool, Bucky Lasek and Omar Hassan know a good bowl when they see one. Hit the pools and put these Vans skaters to the test with all the tricks in their bag, working to achieve hero status once you unlock their pro model skateboards.
On a normal Sunday afternoon, the rooftop of the Admiral would be swimming with socialites and finger foods, but a broken water main, a week of repairs, and an easily distracted security guard later, this swanky hotel hotspot is Bucky and Omar's stomping ground.
The old rec center has been gated up for years and the once pristine swimming pool, long since drained, is now home to insects and small rodents. That is until Bucky and Omar stumble upon it and chip the paint off this abandoned wasteland turned concrete paradise.
- Supported Functions
- Number Of Players: 1

Multiplexed measurements of strain using short and long gauge length sensors
Geiger, Harald, Xu, Ming Gang, Dakin, John P. and Eaton, Nicholas C. (1995) Multiplexed measurements of strain using short and long gauge length sensors. In, Dakin, John P. and Kersey, Alan D. (eds.) Distributed and Multiplexed Fiber Optic Sensors V. Distributed and Multiplexed Fibre Optic Sensors V Bellingham, US, The International Society for Optical Engineering, 25-34. (Proceedings of SPIE, 2507). (doi:10.1117/12.219628).
Full text not available from this repository.
The paper discusses two complimentary optical fibre sensing techniques which have been researched for structural monitoring applications. The short-gauge-length sensor system is based on fibre gratings and has achieved a strain resolution below 1 microstrain. The long-gauge-length sensor system has achieved 100 micron spatial resolution using a new OTDR technique. Results are presented for surface-mounted and embedded sensors. Both sensors systems can be multiplexed to make more efficient use of the interrogating unit. Their system designs should be capable of being developed to meet real engineering applications

Art Basel changing opening events in Miami Beach
Art aficionados, take note: The kickoff events for Art Basel Miami Beach will unfold in a new way this year.
The first day of the annual event, Dec. 3, will be reserved only for VIP guests: "First Choice VIP" at 11 a.m. and "Preview VIP" at 3 p.m. Instead of hosting the Vernissage preview the first evening as in previous years, that pre-opening showing is scheduled for the early part of Dec. 4, a Thursday.
Public show hours will start at 3 p.m. on Dec. 4.
In a statement, the art fair said the change will give exhibitors "an even better platform for promoting their gallery's program."
"Based on our experience over the past three years in Basel, we are confident that this opening structure will allow us to provide our galleries with the best opportunity to spend quality time with both existing and potential patrons," Art Basel director Marc Spiegler said in a statement.
The show will be open to the public at the Miami Beach Convention Center from Dec. 4-7.

(Also Called 'Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (children)')
The eyes usually have just enough tear fluid to keep them wet. Some young children seem to have a constant overflow of tears, however.
Tears normally leave the eye through tiny openings on the edges of the eyelids. After passing through these openings, the fluid drains into the nose through little "tubes" called nasolacrimal ducts.
It is not unusual for a baby to be born before these ducts are completely open. This usually has no effect except for watery eyes. Most children just grow out of it. The condition can become more serious, however, when tear fluid builds up inside the nasolacrimal duct. Eventually, the duct can become irritated and infected. This can lead to a permanent blockage called nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
The nasolacrimal ducts start underneath the skin at the corners of the eyes closest to the nose. They then go down through the bones of the face and actually open inside the nose. Normally, there is so little tear fluid that the nose does not get very wet. The connection between the eye and the nose is obvious, however, when someone is crying.
If a young child seems to have constantly overflowing tears, there might be a nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The doctor will look for the following symptoms:
A careful examination is necessary to help the doctor decide whether a child has a nasolacrimal duct obstruction and recommend the right treatment.
If the child does have an obstruction, the doctor could recommend a very simple treatment. Placing a warm, wet, clean washcloth on the child's eye a few times a day can help the fluid inside the duct drain out. It is also sometimes helpful to massage gently between the child's eye and nose with a clean finger. This can help to drain fluid and also open the closed part of the nasolacrimal duct. Your doctor will explain exactly how to do this and how many times a day it should be done.
It can take up to 1 year for the nasolacrimal duct to open on its own. If the obstruction is causing other problems, the doctor might recommend a procedure to open the duct. This is called nasolacrimal duct probing, and it might be necessary if the duct is infected. The doctor will probably prescribe antibiotics before the probing if there is an infection.
The doctor could do the probing procedure in the office, in which case only a local anesthetic is used to numb the eye. Usually the doctor recommends doing it in an operating room with general anesthetic (the child is "asleep" during the procedure).
No matter where it is performed, nasolacrimal duct probing has the same basic steps. First, a thin metal probe that looks like a wire is passed through the opening in the eyelid. This wire probe then passes through the nasolacrimal duct down to where it opens inside the nose. The doctor will squirt clean water through the nasolacrimal duct to make sure it can get through. After the doctor sees that the probe has cleared a path for the tears, the probe is removed.
Nasolacrimal duct probing is very successful in opening obstructions and stopping the overflow of tears.
Sometimes the obstruction cannot be cleared by probing. An infection can also have the side effect of blocking the nasolacrimal duct completely. This is a problem for two reasons. Not only will the eye keep overflowing with tears, the blocked nasolacrimal duct will keep getting infected. Fortunately, there are other ways to fix the problem.
Your doctor can perform a procedure that is something like nasolacrimal duct probing, but instead of using a wire probe that is taken out at the end of the procedure, he or she places a small plastic tube that stays inside the duct for several weeks or months. This tube forces the nasolacrimal duct to stay open, and the duct usually remains open even after the device is removed.
Occasionally, however, the nasolacrimal duct simply will not work. Dacryocystorhinostomy is the complicated medical name for an operation to make a new tear drainage system.
This operation is almost always done under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make an incision near the nose and connect a small plastic tube to the tear duct near the eye.
In this procedure, the tube is not passed through the nasolacrimal duct. Instead, the surgeon makes a new opening through the bone so the other end of the plastic tube can reach the nose through a new opening.
The plastic device keeps the new drainage system open as the area heals. After a few months, the tube is removed. This procedure is very effective at solving the problem of the nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

This operation is almost always done under general anesthesia.

Among his more regular work, he helmed all 10 episodes of 1995's Crown Prosecutor, playing the almost-titular Lenny Monk. He also enjoyed substantial recurring roles on Chancer, Where the Heart Is, and Wire in the Blood.
The majority of his career, though has been spent building a long résumé of featured guest work on a large number of British television shows, including: Out of the Unknown, The Stone Tape,Softly, Softly, The Liver Birds, Blake's 7, Tales of the Unexpected, The New Statesman, Between the Lines, Peak Practice, Casualty, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, Silent Witness, The Bill, Holby City, Heartbeat, Foyle's War,Midsomer Murders, Rebecca, and Taggart.
The guest role seen by the most number of people, however, was that of Duggan in the Doctor Who serial City of Death, He would later return to Doctor Who as Merdeen in the 1986 story, The Trial of a Time Lord. He has also been an occasional guest star in Big Finish audio productions. Most notably, he played the recurring character of Will in the second series of Sarah Jane Smith audio adventures. He also had a featured guest role in No More Lies, during Paul McGann's 2007 broadcast season on BBC Radio 7.
Though his theatrical film work has been more sparse, he had a small role in the 2006 James Bond film, Casino Royale.
He plays a semi-regular character, Professor Henry Williams, in the 23rd series of Casualty, which is currently being aired on Saturday nights.

Jon Corzine bought his way into the governor's mansion and has done much harm to taxpayers since his inauguration. Whether it is because of ineptitude or a feeling of generosity to those whom he believes to be needy, he has created an environment like those in Marxist states, taking from those who have more and giving to those who have less. He is unwilling to listen (not a good trait in a chief of state) to others and believes his to be the only opinion that counts.
Taking from those who are becoming tax-poor to pay for largesse to another group is an insidious crime. When taxpayers can't pay anymore, where will Corzine look for more money? Ford, GM and other large corporations have left New Jersey, and people have lost their jobs.
Now Corzine is looking to defraud us by using our 2006 tax filings for the homestead rebates even though our 2007 taxes were higher. He is wrong on the issues and dead wrong for New Jersey.

Isreali video startup Rounds has been knocking around since the start of 2010, delivering what we've referred to before as "video chat done right".
Now, however, it's expanding its offering with the launch of Rounds Live, a way to host video calls and discuss content across any Web page. It's not just a one-on-one option either, each call can be designated a public or private 'room' and each room can support up to 15 users simultaneously.
Essentially, the company views this as a way to allow users to do a range of things like "create movie watching parties on Netflix, participate in live concert events on YouTube, play multi-user games while actually seeing their opponents, debate on blog posts, and cheer their team with other fans on sports events", it said.
Leading up to the launch, Rounds trialled the Rounds Live service with the TV show X Factor in Isreal. It found that, on average, users spent 50 minutes chatting in a room of five people, significantly increasing the potential for audience engagement for brands that want to work with the company for specific events.

Title | Microbiological pattern of arterial catheters in the intensive care unit |

Abstract | Background: Intravascular catheter related infection (CRI) is one of the most serious nosocomial infections. Diagnostic criteria include a positive culture from the catheter tip along with blood, yet in many patients with signs of infection, current culture techniques fail to identify pathogens on catheter segments. We hypothesised that a molecular examination of the bacterial community on short term arterial catheters (ACs) would improve our understanding of the variety of organisms that are present in this niche environment and would help develop new methods for the diagnosis of CRI. Results: The whole bacterial community presenting on all ACs was evaluated by molecular methods, i.e., a strategy of whole community DNA extraction, PCR amplification followed by cloning and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Ten ACs were removed from patients suspected of CRI and 430 clones from 5 "colonised" and 5 "uncolonised" (semiquantitative method) AC libraries were selected for sequencing and subsequent analysis. A total of 79 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified at the level of 97% similarity belonging to six bacterial divisions. An average of 20 OTUs were present in each AC, irrespective of colonisation status. Conventional culture failed to reveal the majority of these bacteria. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in the bacterial diversity between the 'uncolonised' and 'colonised' ACs. This suggests that vascular devices cultured conventionally and reported as non infective may at times potentially be a significant source of sepsis in critically ill patients. Alternative methods may be required for the accurate diagnosis of CRI in critically ill patients. |

All you Directioners might want to take a seat for this one. Our favourite bromance, Louis and Harry, have put their bachelor pad up for sale and you (and maybe some of your BFF's) could be the next occupants!
Now, take a second and BREATHE.
The house is located in North London and is pretty much the equivalent to a modern day castle if you ask us. To top it off the house features a swimming pool, in house "cinema room", gym and a kitchen that will make you want to become a chef.
Sounds amazing right? But before you start packing up everthing you own and buy your plane ticket to the UK you should know that the house costs£5,000 per calendar month (which is almost $8,000 Canadian) if you wish to rent it or about £3Million (which is almost $8,000,000 Canadian) if you want to buy it. Doesn't reality suck? You can always check out these pictures and day dream about living there. It's much cheaper.

Less is More - Week 7 - For the Guys
63 comments:
ALL the masculine cards are great. My favorite is the first one because it is simple, quick and clean looking. Love the scrapbook page. I can just imagine all the 'aches and pains' you had the following day. I'm sure it will bring smiles to everyone's face when they look back on this memory.
ReplyDeleteHeaven's Susan, you have been very busy!! I don't know where to start!! Well firstly I love the map and beautiful sentiment, it's a perfect combination.
The fern card, I think is CAS, I love it, and green is my favourite colour. The fern is so decorative, you could probably take the ribbon off, if you felt it wasn't CAS enough. I love the stamped square too, a brilliant way of adding texture and colour without dimension.
Love the beautiful fishing scene, it's a great masculine card.
Oooh, the tool jug - a fabulous image beautifully coloured, and a great male image.
And last but not least, love the layout - you have made a wonderful scene, and you look like you're having so much fun!
Phew! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations xxHello Susan you're really inspired, i love all yours cards, very masculines and for diferents men The first for a gentleman, elegant, 2nd a man who love the nature or gardening,third a fisherman who find the peace of the river,and the fourth for the handyman of your house, well if you have four men in one i think he need the four crads :D, all are beautiful.
A hug from SpainI was going to say at least you've got four great male cards to add to your stock, but you beat me too it further down your post. Love them all but particularly the fern one.
Your scrapbook page looks great too. Glad you didn't injure yourself on your hill roll. Looks like fun though! Sue.xHi Susan
WOW four cards this week, i had trouble making one but that's cause i have a cold and a fuzzy head lol...
My favourites are the map and the fern cards both very different. Like that the sentiment matches the map and is quite humorous. The fern card is such a lovely shade of green and is very relaxing to look at.
Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful creations:-)Hi, Susan!
I just love your work! Each of your cards is striking in its own way. I'm with you on really liking the one with the fisherman on the pier, but any guy would be happy with any one of them, I'm sure.
I can't believe you rolled down that hill!! What a great sport you are, and I'm so glad someone took pictures. The card is delightful.
It was such fun to meet you and visit while you were in Brewton. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Sandy Nall :)Go grandma. Fancy rolling the hill like that.
My favourite is the first one with the globe. It's simple, striking, masculine, perfect.
Malyn at ThinkInkCreativeGosh, Susan... they're all great, but I really think the first is my favorite, too. Something about the simplicity of the design, but the complexity of the stamp. It's classic and the sentiment is perfect!
Love the photos of you rolling down the hill. You are one brave (and crazy!) Grandma! :)Hi Susan, what a brilliant post, all your men's cards are wonderful but I especially love the first, the map. I think it's just so perfectly CAS. As for rolling down the hill, what a fun Grandma you are, good for you still fit and game. It looks as though you really had a great time and what better way to preserve those memories, pretty LO too:0) xxx
ReplyDeleteLove all your cards, my favourite is the first as it is a great image and beautiful sentiment, a perfect card to give.
Diane x
P.S fab LO, rolling down hills ...one of life's great pleasures...we should all do it more...although might wait for the grass to dry a bit more before I give it a go!!!! :)Hi Susan!
Thanks for popping by my blog today and for you nice comments!
I have found 2 copies of the 'Simply Silhouettes' cd from My Craft Studio for you on Ebay. It seems that you can't but it from MCS anymore...must be discontinued. Anyway, here's the link to the cd's on ebay...
They're a very good price too!

Skeletal muscle microvascular exchange capacity is associated with hyperglycaemia in subjects with central obesity
Turzyniecka, M., Wild, S.H., Krentz, A.J., Chipperfield, A.J., Gamble, J., Clough, G.F. and Byrne, C.D. (2009) Skeletal muscle microvascular exchange capacity is associated with hyperglycaemia in subjects with central obesity. Diabetic Medicine, 26, (11), 1112-1119.

Aims: poor glycaemic control is associated with increased risk of microvascular disease in various organs including the eye and kidney, but the relationship between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and microvascular function in skeletal muscle has not been described. We tested the association between HbA1c and a measure of microvascular exchange capacity (Kf) in skeletal muscle in people with central obesity at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Methods: microvascular function was measured in 28 women and 19 men [mean (± sd) age 51 ± 9 years] with central obesity who did not have diabetes. We estimated insulin sensitivity by hyperinsulinaemic–euglycaemic clamp, visceral and total fatness by magnetic resonance imaging, fitness (VO2 max by treadmill testing), physical activity energy expenditure [metabolic equivalents of tasks (METS) by use of the SenseWear Pro armband] and skeletal muscle microvascular exchange capacity (Kf) by venous occlusion plethysmography.
Results: in regression modelling, age, sex and fasting plasma glucose accounted for 30.5% of the variance in HbA1c (r2 = 0.31, P = 0.001). Adding Kf to this model explained an additional 26.5% of the variance in HbA1c (r2 = 0.57, P = 0.0001 and Kf was strongly and independently associated with HbA1c (standardized B coefficient −0.45 (95% confidence interval −0.19, −0.06), P = 0.001).
Conclusions: we found a strong negative independent association between a measure of skeletal muscle microvascular exchange capacity (Kf) and HbA1c. Kf was associated with almost as much of the variance in HbA1c as fasting plasma glucose

NEED ADVICE: Rookie has to leave wife/kid behind temporarily to take job out-of-state
Ok, fire service veterans, I need some advice. I finally achieved a lifelong goal and received an offer to work full-time for a very reputable department in a great city. Taking the job will require moving out-of-state (roughly 6.5 hour drive). Here's the issue...I'm married with a toddler and we own a home that will take months to sell (based on current market activity in our community). So, in order to make this work, I will have to move ahead of my wife and kid to attend academy, which is about 4 to 5 months and hope that the house sells within that time frame. Fortunately, my wife absolutely loves the city I'll be working for and is 100% behind the opportunity.
Have any of you had to relocate for your job in the fire service - but had to leave your family behind for months in the beginning?
Have any you in this position encountered any issues with selling your home due to relocating? I'd appreciate any advice or feedback.
It is tough leaving a sweet loving wife with a toddler to go to work out of town. It has been done by many firefighters and other occupations.
Get yourself a room or apartment or share with other members of your class and when you get near graduation, then find a place to move the family.
You can always make the trip home on a Friday evening after class, providing they don't have something schedule for the recruits on the weekends.
Remember nothing counts until you receive the badge, be sworn in and have graduated.Stay Safe and Well Out There....
Always remembering 9-11-2001 and 343+ Brothers

If you know anyone that is a reservist and has been deployed overseas for a tour, get with them for advice, it's very similar in to your situation.
First thing, get a Skype account. That way you can talk face to face live.
Make sure you each have a complete listing of all you accounts, with account numbers and access codes so you can take of anything as needed.
It may help to get a limited power of attorney for each other (provided you have a solid marriage ), that way some of your paperwork can get done without both of you together.
Get a support network with friends and family as much as you can. That way your wife can get a break now and then from taking care of the kid.
Talk about expectations before you go. Who's going to handle what, when and how often you can visit, talk, etc.
Tens of thousands of military service members have made it work under worse conditions and for longer times. It won't be easy, but reminder her that a little sacrifice now will lead to a better life down the road. Be patient with each other, don't sweat the little stuff. Good luck and Congrats on the new job.

yes and yes
as far as the house, was not real estate savvy so I messed up on the sale, just find a great agent you can totaly rely on.
as far as the move I would toatly suggest you get thorugh the acadmey first and get on shift before you move the family. I know that is hard, but you never know what may happen during the acadmey!!!!!
find another academy student or shift firefighter to rent a room from, you will be tied up with school anyway, so not much down time for other stuff.
are you a paid firefighter now, or is this your first paid gig????

Can we see a picture of the wife before committing to an answer?
Truly kidding, but in most career FD's that's the kind of joking you'll get. Don't expose any weaknesses at all, lest they be totally exploited. Good luck with the situation, it appears to be a difficult one, but at least your wife supports you. I know there are few other jobs I'd ever give this up for.
Sort of off topic, but this reminds me of a probie several years ago. After he'd been on the job for just a few weeks, one of the old timers on another shift tells him to remind his wife to reset the bedside alarm in the morning before she leaves so he's not late for work. Probie comes up out of his chair and acts like he's going to start swinging. He thought the guy was serious. We got him calmed down and eventually he got with the program. Unfortunately he was subjected to comments about his wife for years afterwards. Never let them see a weakness.

text: Everyone but appointee gets cheated The last-minute political appointments by then-Gov. Jon Corzine to state boards is a deliberate circumvention of our state pension system. It enriches political appointees whose actual contribution to the pension fund is significantly less than the contribution from career employees. Our pension system was established to provide security to hard-working employees for their many years of service. Employees make contributions to their pensions based on their annual salary. "Real" employees contribute consistently over the years to the pension fund. Appointees contribute in accordance with their board pay. If the "real" employee got more pension benefits than the appointee, there might be an element of fairness. But the career employee, after 25 years of dedicated service, receives retirement benefits based on his/her highest three years, maybe $65,000. The appointee, in this case, has only three years at $110,000, but that is enough to be the basis for his/her retirement benefits. And the appointee also gets lifetime health care benefits. It's Democrat and Republican appointees alike who benefit from these shenanigans. If the new governor wants to turn Trenton upside down, a good place to start would be this sort of abuse. Let's exclude people on appointed commissions, boards, panels, tribunals and blue-ribbon committees from the pension plan. You never know, real citizens might have to be appointed to take their place. Ellen Steinberg, Short Hills Cuts will hurt I've worked as a nurse for the New Jersey Poison Center for more than 20 years. The new governor's transition team, as part of the cost-saving plan for the state, suggests that the center be closed. True, I will lose my position. The big loss, though, will be to the many callers we are able to help, saving untold emergency room visits. The center is used by school nurses for guidance with their emergencies; physicians refer patients who overdose their children or themselves to the center; police, industry, and hospitals also use the center's services. I am one of 16 staffers who man the phones. We are all medical people — nurses, doctors and pharmacists. If we close, many people will be underserved, and the emergency rooms may be overwhelmed. Arline Lloyd, Maplewood Conflict of interests Surprise, surprise. Gov. Chris Christie's energy transition team recommends the BPU approve the outdated, unnecessary PSE&G Susquehanna-Roseland project "as is." How can a committee comprised of Ralph LaRossa (president and COO of PSE&G, the company that wants to install the line in the first place), Joseph Domingues of Exelon (electricity and gas distributor) and Lawrence Down of NJ Resources Corp. (natural gas distributor), along with the former head of the BPU, be expected to come up with an objective assessment of this project, nevermind a statewide energy policy? The vast majority of the panel's members have a vested interest in pursuing wasteful and polluting projects like Susquehanna-Roseland in the name of company profits. As a lawyer, Christie should have at least a nodding acquaintance with the term conflict of interest. This subcommittee and its recommendations should be seen for the corporate toadying they are and scrapped. Donna Ambriano, Towaco Miss 'The Fly' I enjoyed Mark Di Ionno's article on "Frankie the Fly" (Jan. 26). I was sorry to hear about Frankie's passing a few weeks ago. "The Fly" was a neighborhood fixture. I think he got his nickname from the coke-bottle glasses he wore that made him look like "The Fly" in the old Vincent Price movie from the 1960s. Steve Niforatos, Pompton Plains Financial reform needed As a small business owner, I'm counting on Congress to enact real financial reform to ensure that another crisis caused by greed and wild speculation on Wall Street doesn't devastate Main Street. Compromising with those who stand to benefit from the status quo is not an option. If we compromise away true reform and give Wall Street the window dressing and gaping loopholes it wants, we could be doing more harm than good. If Congress and Main Street believe things have changed when nothing has really been done, the big financial firms will continue to exploit the holes in the regulatory system to the detriment of consumers, small businesses and the economy as a whole. So please stand strong to those who say now is not the time. I couldn't imagine a better time. April Woods, Elizabeth Stop Israeli settlements The Jan. 25 article, "Israel reiterates claim to West Bank settlements," was quite alarming. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is totally disregarding promises made about freezing settlements in the Palestinian territories. Netanyahu is blocking a peace that many Israeli citizens are also demanding. Construction on settlements continues. The settlement program not only involves destroying homes of Palestinians and building on their land, but destroying olive trees and produce farms. Britain, in response to the injustice being done, has placed a ban on Israeli produce sold in their country. The U.S. should follow suit. If Netanyahu expects continued political, social and economic support, he should treat American peace-seeking diplomats in the region with respect. President Obama's envoy, George Mitchell, has made nine trips to restart peace talks after a year-long stalemate. Last October, Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman said there was no chance of a Middle East peace deal for many years. "There are many conflicts in the world that haven't reached a comprehensive solution and people learned to live with it." Simply said, but in reality, learning to live with guarded, armed check points, surrounded by a wall of separation, displaced people in refuge camps, and water, food and medical supplies cut off regularly, is a crime against a people. Arlene Murphy, Roselle Auschwitz isn't Polish The author of "After recovery of Auschwitz sign, Poland pledges better security" (Jan. 25) called Auschwitz a "Polish" camp. I suggest he study a little more history. Poland was invaded and torn asunder by three countries in 1939-Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union and Slovakia. The Communists occupied and stole a large swath of Eastern Poland, territory occupied to the present day. The Nazis took a large section of Western Poland and made it part of the Reich. The remainder was made into the Nazi occupied "General Government" ruled by the ruthless Nazi, Hans Frank. Unlike France, with the Vichy government, there was no independent, functioning Polish state. Poles had no say in there own system. "Auschwitz" is the German name for the Polish city of Oswiecim. To erroneously call this atrocious site of mass murder Polish is to needlessly slander the brave citizens of Poland, the first victims of World War II. Poland had the highest per capital loses of any nation during the war. In addition to the Jewish victims, many of whom were citizens of Poland, ethnic Poles were also murdered. Poles were also deemed "untermenschen" in the sick language of the Nazis. Eric Hood, Franklin

I was hauling ass on mine freeriding down mt hood. No speed chatter at all, at least not enough for me to notice. As for fat jumps, I knuckled a 20ft jump once and decided never to come up short again. Every jump after that I was going warp 7 and the board kept up just fine.
I have a word limit on my cynicism |

All I want for Christmas is a normal cambered board.
I've hit big kickers and straightlined the steepest part of a worldcup downhill racecourse on a skate banana, and let me assure you I will never ever do it again. I don't like feeling like I'm going to die. It just felt unstable doing everything. Yes it's good fun to jib around on, but for what your describing, I wouldn't bother, get a proper park board if you want to ride park. I'm a huge fan of solid edges, reverse camber doesn't do it for me. Then again it depends on your definition of a "fat jump". No offense meant to mooz here at all but 20ft is pretty average, you could send more or less any board into that, I was thinking more along the lines of 50ft wedges. |

I'm not too familiar with the Lib-Tech line, I've only ridden the skate banana because I had to borrow a deck for a week or two. Any reason you want Lib-Tech so bad? You'd be better off getting a stiffer park board if your serious about big hits and hauling ass around the mountain. Personally I'd much rather ride a stiffer board on rails and have the stability in the air than have a noodle which is great for rails but bails out on you when it gets serious.
I'm sure others will be able to suggest some boards, I've ridden a few but not enough to give some wide suggestions. |

If you want a solid reverse cambered board for jumps and hauling ass the never summer SL or Legacy, if you want to go a little more softer and playful never summer evo or revolver.
I'm also a fan of the k2 jibpan and darkstar. There's so many variables I could take into account for what you're looking to do as well. |

She touched on the problem of failing schools and the challenge they represent to the American dream. "The crisis in K-12 education is a threat to the very fabric of who we are," she said, to thumping agreement. But when she mentioned her own story, the hall erupted. "A little girl grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham. The segregated city of the south where her parents cannot take her to a movie theater or to restaurants, but they have convinced her that even if she cannot have a hamburger at Woolworths, she can be the president of the United States if she wanted to be and she becomes the secretary of state."
The house went wild with joy. The Republicans in Tampa, Fla., metaphorically lifted Rice onto their shoulders and carried her around the arena. Why? Because Americans such as Rice ratify what Republicans believe about this country -- that our triumph over racism and discrimination -- not the history of it, is what defines us. It's the opposite of the Democrats' message -- that racism, discrimination and injustice are deep-dyed into the American character.
Democrats go further, too. They encourage the prejudice or to put it more bluntly, circulate the slander that racism and discrimination are not to be found among Democrats but still persist is in the hearts of Republicans.
Just as painting Paul Ryan as a monster who wants to throw grandmothers off cliffs becomes impossible when voters actually see the man, the Tampa convention has made peddling the myth about racist Republicans a good deal more difficult.

text: About the Program Welcome to the Master of Social Work (MSW) Program at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Social Policy & Practice, one of the oldest and most well-respected social work programs in the country. Our program (ranked 5th in the nation by Princeton Review's Gourman Report and 16th by U.S. News and World Report) is designed to prepare social workers for leadership roles in developing and providing services to individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations in the local, national, and global arenas. With a recently redesigned curriculum, Penn's MSW degree melds cutting-edge innovation with a rich educational tradition rooted in social justice and social change. Highlights of Penn's MSW Program Renowned Faculty In-depth Social Work Orientation at the start of the program Modern curriculum rooted in a tradition of social justice and social change Interdisciplinary opportunities, which allow students to take elective classes in Penn's twelve graduate schools International coursework and study abroad opportunities Eleven dual-degree programs Certificate and specialization programs Small classes (20-25 students) International alumni network Extracurricular activities Program Options Penn offers four different MSW program options, enabling students to choose the course of study that best fits with their personal circumstances and career goals: the two-year Full-Time program, the three-year Part-Time program, the Advanced Standing program, and the Employed Practitioners program. Additionally, the Penn MSW program accepts students from Pennsylvania's CWEL program. Why Penn? Under the guidance of its renowned faculty, the MSW program offers students the individual attention inherent to a small school where academic advisors oversee each student's course of study. At the same time, our students take advantage of all that an Ivy League campus has to offer, including interdisciplinary opportunities, dual-degree programs, vast student resources, and an international alumni network. The MSW curriculum is comprised of a foundation year and an advanced year. The core courses in both of these years provide students with the requisite knowledge to think critically and practice as a social worker. In the advanced year, students choose either the clinical or macro concentration. Outside of the core required courses, students have a great deal of flexibility in putting together their course of study. For example, students may choose to take electives outside of the School of Social Policy & Practice at Penn's other eleven graduate schools, or they may choose to participate in one the certificate programs focusing on aging, global human rights, prisoner re-entry, child welfare, school social work, and more. The MSW Program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

The Truth About Your Arizona Tequila
It's no big secret that tequila isn't tequila unless it's made in Jalisco, Mexico. Like Champagne and sparking wine, there's tequila and there are agave spirits. I'm tempted to wax poetic and go full bard status here, so there are some things you should know about just what is in the name tequila and whether it really is any sweeter than its U.S.-made agave spirit brethren. Mexican Moonshine Facebook/Jeff Turner This tequila is as Arizonan as Roger Clyne himself, right?
See also: How to Make Bourbon with Arizona Distilling Co.
To say tequila is a political issue is a massive understatement. Everything from its production to its designation to its marketing can trigger heated debate, so here's what you need to know. Tequila is the heritage name (like Champagne) of a distilled spirit made from Jalisco-grown blue agave and produced in Jalisco. There also are some limited areas in parts of the states surrounding Jalisco (Michoacán, Guanajuato, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas) where agave can be harvested and legally labeled as tequila, but it is restrictive and it still must be produced in Jalisco.
Those things have to be the case, according to the Mexican government's guidelines, in order for it to be called tequila. All else are agave spirits, unless of course it's mezcal, which is processed differently and can be harvested from a broader geographical area (seven states) than tequila. Marrovi/Wikimedia Commons True tequila must comes from the dark green regions, while mezcal comes from the light green regions.
However, whiskey fans probably already know what I'm about to say next. Think of Jalisco like Kentucky and agave spirits like bourbon -- sure, some have the exclusive affinity for Kentucky bourbon, but that doesn't mean bourbon made outside Kentucky can't also be tasty.
In the quest for U.S. distilleries to begin producing tequila-like agave spirits, take note of St. George Spirits' Agua Azul project in 2007. Master distiller and proprietor Lance Winters says the quest to make an agave spirit to their standards then was a long and exhausting trip involving convincing Mexican authorities to allow them to buy Jalisco-grown agave, partially processing it before it got to the border so it was copasetic on the U.S. government's side, and then another four or five days of further processing it so it would be ready for fermentation.
From 40,000 pounds of agave, Winters and his team yielded 470 gallons high-proof agave spirit called Agua Azul.
"It was lovely. It was wonderful, but by the time we were done we were so emotionally, psychologically, and physiologically beat up that it wasn't the type of thing we wanted to turn around and do again immediately," he says.
Some Arizona-based tequila makers, like Roger Clyne's Mexican Moonshine, 3 Amigos, and Luna Malvada, produce their tequila in Jalisco and then import it to the United States. Cruz Tequila is produced in the highlands of Jalisco by three Arizona State University grads. Their tequila has won honors in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in the past.
However, producing in the U.S. is certainly another beast, and one which the Arizona Distilling Company is looking to undertake in the near future. Although owner Rodney Hu says they are still figuring out where the agave they use will come from, it will definitely be distilled in Tempe, which will be a feat in itself.

Mar 13, 2015I did beat the game 100% and I didn't like this game THAT much. The graphics are okay. The levels are fine. The bosses were fine but THE KOOPALINGS GOT THROWN OUT SINCE SUPER MARIO WOURLD I BELIEVE! But still okay. The controls are great I got SO used to it. I think this is a game worth getting. One of my least favourite Mario so far...
Jan 4, 2011I love this game - especially the wireless multiplayer! My brother and I laugh so hard because it is so good - the BEST multiplayer I have ever played!
Here's my Top 50 games of all time:
The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past
Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda
Metroid Prime (Trilogy)
Resident Evil 4
Tetris DS
Words with Friends (Scrabble)
Super Mario Galaxy

Oct 5, 2010For one of the DS's earlier games, this still holds up very well, as it's only about 4 years old. It's a terrific platformer, filled with fun and innovation, and with plenty of throughbacks to Mario history. One of the best game on DS, and even one of the best games of 2006. This stands as what Mario games are: pure, undiluted downright fun.
Jan 2, 2013This Mario game is so so good not as good as I thought it would be
Apr 27, 20118.5/10 = Great = A Very smart and fun plaformer. Problem is that i've played too many of them in the past and this is more of the same. Still as rewarding as ever though.
Sep 28, 2011
Aug 13, 2011
Nov 11, 2010One of the best games on the DS, and an incredibly rewarding experience. New Super Mario Bros. takes what was originally great about the NES and SNES games and, well, makes it NEW. This means that while it plays like an old-school game, it still feels fresh enough to stand up to more modern types of gameplay.
Nov 30, 2010
Oct 7, 2010Amazing. Super mario bros.on DS. Best DS game of all DS games. I may have sold it two years after i bought it which makes sense to me, but I had a great time with it.
Oct 30, 2011
Dec 31, 2010It's probably to me the only game with levels that is still fun after you finish it.
Jan 8, 2011New Super Mario Bros DS is compelling, with many great multiplayer features including compelling minigames. The characters and enemies are all original, and this is a great improvement on the Original Mario Bros. The story mode may be lacking, but the overall concept of the game is top class!
Feb 25, 2011Great game, got it for Christmas after receiving the Wii version last year. Have to say that it is much easier to control than the Wii version, but I have to say that I didn't find this much of a challenge as I have already completed it and collected all the power stars, on all three of my save files. Meanwhile I still fail to jump over Super Bowsers fireballs in the last level of Wii.
Mar 20, 2011
Jul 23, 2011
Jul 10, 2011Fun game, but suffers from a very short playthrough. The mini-games, while could be a bit harder, are a big plus, and nowadays i find myself still attached to this game because of those alone.
May 26, 2011The classic platforming is great and all, but what REALLY stands out is the multiplayer. I remember my sister screaming when i came at here with a Mega Mushroom.
Jun 18, 2014Although reaching shy of Super Mario World's plenitude in 1990, New Super Mario Bros is a worthy and uncomplicated renewal to side scrolling Mario. Acrobatics and creativity are rewarded, though challenges late in the game tend to be cryptic or trial-based in nature.
Jun 4, 2013It is a good game, perhaps one of the best in the DS console, or even one of the best videogames ever made. And no, it is not a remake of the original game, it is a totally new game.
Nov 7, 2011It is an easy game but it has addicting gameplay. It reminds me a lot of the older side-scrolling Mario games but somehow this game is unique from some of the others. It is one of the best Nintendo DS games.
Nov 21, 2011I've tried and tried to like this game, but it's just been a bit too simple for a Mario title. All Mario's usually start off easy and get much more difficult, but this one seems the exception and seems to be aimed at a much younger audience. Kids will probably love this, but as a 27 year old gamer who grew up on Mario, this one just isn't his best work.
Dec 29, 2012The gameplay isn't as riveting or unique or original as Super Mario World, and it feels truly lacking in some of original Mario Bros charm. But in the end, its still a good experience.
Feb 16, 2012The single-player mode is the most challenging I have ever played in a Mario game, and the wireless multiplayer works well, too. Definitely one of the best DS games I have ever played.
Feb 27, 2012
May 21, 2012
Jun 6, 2012A Amazing Game! So Much Fun! :)
Sep 20, 2012(Translate from Portuguese into English)Melhor jogo do DS,jogos do Mario deveriam ser todos assim,não aqueles caça-níqueis de baixa qualidade que a Nintendo lança direto,um dos melhores jogos plataformas já feitos para um portátil.Nota 95/100
Feb 18, 2013
Oct 2, 2012THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD. READ THE REVIEW HERE, TODAY!!
Super Mario bros has started a new revolution; you can now play it on the Wii! Super Mario is a structured game and in the end you have to save the princess (Mario -
Dec 11, 2012It's alright, that pretty much sums it up for me. I've tried playing it but I just get bored and can't finish it. Which is a first for a Mario game, having played them all to death.
This is just standard, nothing exciting at all. Which is a shame for a "glorious return" to the roots. -
Mar 10, 2013
Aug 4, 2013One of the reasons I bought my DS.
A return to 2D Mario in great style. All the fun platforming and power-ups you would expect.
The multiplayer is surprisingly fun as well.
If you have a DS, you owe it yourself to get this game.
10 out of 10. -
Sep 16, 2013
Dec 19, 2013this game is one of those games that just destroy every other single game out there. the ds has awful graphics but this games looks like a 2010 game not great but who cares when you have so much fun with it me and my friends have put so many hours in this game i know its old but its that much fun
Dec 22, 2013SUPER FUN GAME TO PLAY! Everything is GREAT and awesome. The difficulty level is just a bit too easy. Wish I could give a 9.7/10, but have to stick with 9!
Oct 24, 2014I LOVE THIS GAME IT MADE MY LIFE 10 TIMES BETTER AND MADE MY CHILDHOOD I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS GAME NINTENDOROCKS this game had everything the best level design, the best music, even the times when I got really mad and threw my DS around I still love this game soooo much. In all seriousness, it is a true classic that would be hard to match.
Apr 2, 2014
Jul 28, 2014
Sep 29, 2014This game was refreshing back when it first came out. It was the first 2D mario game in years. The visuals and music were fun. The gameplay was solid and there was a lot to do. Also, the powerups and boss battles were original and creative. This was the only New Super Mario bros game that was, ya know, actually "new".
Nov 11, 2014This game is really easy to be honest but like it's really fun to speed run. A great return towards 2d platforming for Mario and the start to a very successful yet somewhat repetitive series.
Nov 18, 2014
Mar 23, 2015The best DS game ever made!!!! It's really simple, that's what makes it nice. The music is fairly catchy, the gameplay is fairly simple, and the best thing? No problems playing it at all!
Jan 5, 2015this game is OK. there is not very much things special about it. although not terrible just not as good as sonic , Pokemon , zelda and stuff like that. the story line is is boring , the game play is simple and just every thing about it is adequate.
Jan 11, 2015
Apr 8, 2015
Before New Super Mario Bros. entered my life, "Yoshi's Island" was, to me, the greatest platformer ever created. That title may now have to go to New Super Mario Bros.
The kind of game that makes hardcore Nintendo fans get on their knees and weep in sheer joy over the eighty new levels of new 2D Mario action...The visuals come in scorching hot, with gorgeous 3D bringing the old school into a new school setting. Sprinkle in some minigames and multiplayer modes, and you have a system seller.
While it lasts, it's some of the best platforming to date and features what I consider to be the best Nintendo DS graphics to date. While it's a shame the new power-ups are frills and the length of the main game is ridiculously short, it's hard not to recommend it.

2005 Aston Martin DB9 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 3 reviews
British automaker Aston Martin made a big splash in 2005 with the debut of the DB9, a trophy coupe to replace the DB7. The biggest selling point for the DB9 comes from its Herculean 5.9 L, 450 hp V12 engine with standard 6 speed automatic transmission and optional 6 speed manual. This new model comes in 2 trims: the Coupe and the Volante convertible.
Gas mileage comes out to 11 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. Both trims have 2 doors, seat 4, and offers standard air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, traction control, and stability control. Navigation system comes as an option.
Overall, drivers like the '05 DB9's style and powerful engine. While consumers say it guzzles gas and doesn't perform as well as a Porsche or Ferrari, the 2005 Aston Martin DB9 shows a lot of promise. Look for the Aston Martin to make the necessary improvements that will propel the DB9 to the top of the sports coupe market.

Week 3 of the meal planning odyssey and to be honest I'm surprised that I've made it this far. As far as new year's resolutions go, this has lasted twice as long as my other resolutions, go running 3 days a week (I'm blaming that one on the snow), cut down on the alcohol (I'm blaming that one on the fact it tastes too nice) and build a robot sidekick (I'm working on that one...)
So without further distractions, on with the list...
Friday - Chickpea and Chorizo Stew
This one was a quick and simple meal as there are many more important things to do on a Friday evening, and I always like something a bit mediteranean every now and then. This is a Nigella recipe, which made me inclined not to cook it as I really do not like her TV shows. However, woman can cook, and this was rather amazing for something that took 15 minutes to prepare...
Should you wish to cook this (and you won't regret it), here is linkage
Sunday - Lamb and Sesame Stir fry
This was my pick from the book Mrs Soup chose, as per the rules of Recipe Club (Well, the second rule actually. The first rule is do not talk about Recipe Clu... oh drat) The book was 'What's Cooking - Chinese' by Jenny Stacey, and whilst it was nice, Im not sure how authentic a lot of the dishes are - alarm bells always ring when cook books don't include the name of the dish in the original language (or am I just being a food snob?)
Anyway, I chose it because I don't think I've ever encountered lamb on a chinese restaurant menu before, so I thought I'd give it a go. It turned out nice, as George Formby might have said, if he'd eaten it...
Monday - Leek and Goats Cheese Tart / Poached Pears
Mrs Soup's pick of the week, from a book called 'Farmer's Market Cookbook'. Because of another new year's resolution - i.e. the whole healthy eating thing, we swapped out the shortcrust pastry for layers of filo pastry - a tip that the Hairy Bikers did on one of their recent shows. It made the whole thing a lot lighter and rather nice, although it could have done with some bacon or similar to give it a bit more kick.
Tuesday - Ezogelin Soup
This week's soup. See blog post below
Wednesday - Cauliflower and Cheese Cake
The weekly veg box delivery left us with a couple of Cauliflowers which I had absolutley no idea what to do with, having grown bored of Cauliflower curry and Koftas, so I did what all sensible people do in the 21st Century - ask twitter. I got some amazing suggestions, including fritters, making them into a pizza base and a tasty soup which may appear on the blog next time I have cauliflowers.
However, the one that caught my eye was a recipe by Yotam Ottolenghi for a cake! It was an experiment, to say the least, and I didn't have high hopes - especially with my aversion to all things baking related. However, the end result was something of a triumph. I highly recommend it if you have no idea what to do with the brain shaped vegetable lurking in your cupboard...
The recipe is here
