Game Day Recon: Game 5 - Canucks @ Oilers
The Canucks haters must love the first couple of weeks of the NHL. It's the same every year. Slow start, mediocre goaltending, squandered chances, lack of chemistry.
Blah blah blah.
Tonight's the perfect night for the Canucks to make their doubters think twice. In case we forgot, the Canucks also started 1-2-1 last season. Game #5 - a very convincing 5-1 win.
Is it in the cards for Game #5 this season?

The 10 Worst Shootout Options In The NHL
Jonathan Willis
October 14 2011 04:52PM
Last night, watching the negative reaction to Tom Renney's selection of Shawn Horcoff for shootout duty, I was struck by how poorly a player's shootout ability is reflected in his overall offensive totals (Horcoff has, when used, been one of the league's best shootout options).
So I decided to look at who the worst shootout players in the game (min. 20 shots) have been, and it's quite a list. Among the skaters on the list are numerous major award winners – guys who have led the league in total goals, total points, and been named the NHL's most valuable player. The Canucks, Oilers and Maple Leafs are all represented. One of them even shows up on the highlight video above. Like I said, it's quite a list.

The Canucks were soundly beaten by the Red Wings by a tally of 2-0 on Thursday night. The team has performed unevenly in the very early going, and the loss dropped the club to 1-2-1 on the season, and 1-2-0 on their current road-swing. The team had a better first period than they managed in Columbus or Philadelphia, drawing an early penalty and looking dangerous with the man-advantage. That changed in a big way during a brutal second frame in which the Red Wings notched a basically unprecedented 19 scoring chances (most of them on the power-play) and found the back of the net twice.

Rainer Maria Rilke is considered one of the German language's greatest 20th century poets. His haunting images focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
He wrote in both verse and a highly lyrical prose. His two most famous verse sequences are the Sonnets to Orpheus and the Duino Elegies; his two most famous prose works are the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. He also wrote more than 400 poems in French, dedicated to his homeland of choice, the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day. Letters to a Young Poet"
Rainer Maria Rilke
"This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love; the more they give, the more they possess."
"Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words."
"There are no classes in life for beginners; right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult"
"A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude"
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions"
"The only journey is the one within."
"There are quantities of human faces, but there are many more faces, for each person has several."
"Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other"
"It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it"

BuzzAngle Music 2015 Record Store Day Chart
Guvera subscribers up 85% after aggressive expansion
Last month in Germany, the Federal Court made a ruling which moved to limit the liability of parents for their minor children's illegal music sharing. The court's decision stipulates that parents are not liable for the illegal music file sharing of their minor child if they have educated their children enough about the prohibition of participating in file sharing on the Internet.
The ruling represents a setback for the music industry, which demanded several thousand Euros for damages and legal fees. The case was triggered by a 13-year-old who illegally downloaded music and spread it on the net.
As Florian Drücke, the Head of the Federal Association of the Music Industry, warned, the judgment does not mean that parents no longer need to worry about the surfing habits of their children. "The recent statement of the Supreme Court should not be 'misunderstood' as a free ride for parents and their children to careless file sharing," explained Drücke. "What concrete steps parents must take, especially for repeated violations, remains to be seen in the view of for the judgment."
The issue is not about monitoring the children — we know that over-supervision is not a recipe for success when it comes to 13-year-olds. Rather, it's about building their awareness for the value of music, films and books. The question is, how do you do that?
As we talked about recently, piracy is still very much an issue in our world today. There are ways to combat it, like streaming services, anti-piracy measures from the government and the DMCA, but that doesn't solve the immediate problem of having an illegal link up that people are downloading without permission.
Muso is here to help with precisely that problem. As a specialized anti-piracy platform, Muso scans the web for illegal files and issues DMCA takedown notices on your behalf. Keep in mind that in order to issue these notices, you need to have full legal rights to take them down worldwide, under penalty of perjury.
Here's how it works:
Muso is constantly checking for new infringing files, and you can access the dashboard at any time to track the status of your removals. The average time between when you send the takedown notice and when the file is removed varies depending on the source, but typically takes between 2 hours and 3 days. For cyber lockers with whom Muso deals with directly, files are removed within 30 seconds.

It's no news that digital music has slowly been claiming a solid market share for the industry. But there are still improvements to be made and growth to be seen.
Worldwide sales of digital music grew by 8% last year to 5.2 billion U.S. dollars as the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) announced in London at the introduction of the Digital Music Report 2012. And it's not over… The digital music market could continue its expansion in 2012.
In relation to global sales in 2011, the share of digital music grew by 32%. The range of relevant licensed online music services grew within the past year from 23 to 58 countries – mainly due to the rapid expansion of services such as iTunes, Spotify and Deezer.
Despite the positive impact, online piracy is still the biggest hurdle to sustainable growth for music on the Internet."While concrete measures abroad to curb online piracy show first successes, Germany lags more and more in the enforcement of copyright," lamented Florian Drücke, Managing Director of the Association of Music Industry in Berlin. "It is imperative that conditions for growth in the digital space also be created in Germany."
The Digital Music Report shows all global sales of downloads, subscriptions and ad-supported online service on an annually basis and provides an overview of the legal music service on the Internet and displays on the market developments. The 32-page report can be downloaded for free here.
To start with, let me state that I am not a piracy advocate. I do however believe that things are not always as obvious as we would like them to be, and the case of MegaUpload has many lessons we can learn from.
Without a doubt, MegaUpload's closing-down is good news for the content industry. I still can't understand how some people can defend MegaUpload, when its business model was making money — a lot of money — on the back of producers and rightful beneficiaries. It's not about freedom of the Internet, it's about robbery. This said, MegaUpload shutting down won't be the end of piracy; there are already 10 new MegaUploads-copycats ready to go, and new technologies and piracy models will always be around the corner… an endless fight, you might say.
So what can we do? Continue to spend billions of dollars for this fight? Continue to upset Internet users and make them more and more distrustful of content industries?
I don't think that the Internet user's request is "We want content for free." I think it's closer to "we want a great user experience and maximum choice for an affordable price."
"Give people a choice, and they might pay for digital music, after all."
— Peter Kafka, All Things D, January 23, 2012.
Damn, that Peter Kafka at the Wall Street Journal is fast. He beat me to the much-anticipated IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) 2012 report on the state of digital, er, phonographic music. Sorry IFPI. But, phonographic? Really?
Kafka's thoughtful piece is titled Digital Music Sales Grow Worldwide, but Big Music Still Frets About Pirates and is about, well, that. I decided to avoid a re-hash and use his piece as a jumping off point…
His opening line struck me. "Give people a choice, and they might pay for digital music, after all." Not to get all Bill Clinton but it depends on what your definition of "pay" is. As an industry, we spend a lot of time slicing up pie charts, demonstrating how much of the digital business is represented by download for pay, streaming music services, hybrid outlets such as YouTube and other models. Always lurking just off-slide from the aforementioned pie chart are the pirates. Ahhh, the pirates. Big week for them last week…

It already seemed like the Minnesota Wild asked Marek Zidlicky to waive his no-trade clause to go to the New Jersey Devils once this season. That either didn't totally happen or the two teams couldn't cross the t's and dot the … lower-case j's.
Regardless, it seemed inevitable that the coach-bashing defenseman would end up out of Minnesota, and now Nick Kypreos and Devils beat writer Tom Gulitti are indicating that it could happen for real this time. Kypreos even threw out everyone's favorite trade deadline buzzword of "imminent," so it's time for Devils fans to get excited/depressed depending upon how each one feels about the offensive blueliner.
The natural question of what the Devils will give up hasn't been cleared up just yet. Kurtis Foster seems like the logical choice because a) Zidlicky downgrades him from "marginal" to "virtually irrelevant" and b) he didn't dress tonight. That being said, Wild beat writer Michael Russo reports that Foster at least isn't aware of being shipped.
Update: Foster texted Russo that he has, indeed, been traded. Expect an official post soon that discusses the trade a bit more in hockey terms.
Either way, it seems like Zidlicky will take his easy hockey-hating talents to the Jersey Shore soon enough.
If it falls through again, I'll never trust the word "imminent" again.
(Or at least not for a few hours.)

At least it's not Nashville.
- greatminnesotasportsmind - Feb 24, 2012 at 8:51 PM
Thank goodness!!! You can have Zidlicky. Kurtis Fosters 4 goals this year is 4 more than Zidlicky. Zidlicky is older and costs more. Foster at least has a decent shot from the point and doesn't bang into 6 different pairs of shin pads.
- icelovinbrotha215 - Feb 24, 2012 at 8:54 PM
Yea, NHLN just annouced it. Seems like the Devils gave up a lot Zidlicky.

Reddy, NM and Reddy, KPJ and Prasad, Krishna MR (1986) Theoretical Gain Optimization in $CO_2-N_2-H_2$ Gasdynamic Lasers with Two-Dimensional Wedge Nozzles. In: AIAA Journal, 24 (12). pp. 2045-2046.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
In an earlier publication,1 we reported the theoretical gain optimiation studies of a 16-\mu m $CO_2-N_2-H_2$ gasdynamic laser (GDL) in which it was showed that the optimum value of a 2.06% $cm^{-1}$ gain could be obtained with conical or hyperbolic nozzles. In this Note, we report the results of optimization studies with a 16\mu m $CO_2-N_2-H_2$ GDL using twodimensional wedge nozzles. We have found that the optimum value of the gain that can be achieved is as high as 12.7% $cm^{-1}$ on the P(15) line of the $(02^00)$\rightarrow $(01^10)$ transition of $CO_2$ for a gas mixture composition of $CO_2:N_2:H_2$ =30:50:20%. The corresponding optimum values for the reservoir pressure and area ratio are computed as functions of the resevoir temperature and presented graphically. Results are presented for a range of gas mixture compositions.

With Cowher out of the running, Spagnuolo may be Jets' top pick
Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo looks like Jets' top pick
By RALPH VACCHIANO
Wednesday, December 31st 2008, 9:21 AM
Steve Spagnuolo passed on his first opportunity to become an NFL head coach after last season. The Giants don't expect him to take a pass again.
So with three potential suitors lined up to talk to Spagnuolo this week, some in the organization were bracing for the loss of the defensive coordinator who restored the Giants' championship defense. The Jets, the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns have all requested and received permission to interview the 49-year-old assistant.
Spagnuolo will interview with the Jets on Saturday and appears to be Gang Green's leading candidate, with Bill Cowher having withdrawn from consideration last night. The other two interviews will take place on either Thursday or Saturday, the two days this week the Giants' players are off.
The Jets' job could be of particular interest to Spagnuolo, who grew up in Massachusetts and whose wife is from Philadelphia. His family would be able to stay in the Northeast, keep their home in New Jersey, and he wouldn't have to compete in the same division as two of his former bosses - Eagles coach Andy Reid and Giants coach Tom Coughlin.
Having to compete against Reid and Coughlin twice a year was apparently one of the factors in his decision last winter to turn down the Washington Redskins, who nearly hired him after Super Bowl XLII. Owner Daniel Snyder, after watching Spagnuolo's defense batter Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and help pull off one of the greatest NFL upsets ever, hosted Spagnuolo at his estate for two days in early February.
When Spagnuolo finally emerged from that retreat, he announced that he was withdrawing his name from consideration for the Redskins job, although some league sources believe the job was his if he wanted it. The Giants rewarded Spagnuolo for his loyalty by giving him a three-year contract extension worth $2 million per year, making him at the time the second-highest-paid assistant coach in the league.
That also may have turned out to be a preemptive move, because according to a report in the St.Louis Post-Dispatch Tuesday, the Rams were scared off by Spagnuolo's price tag and have apparently abandoned plans to interview him. It's not clear if his likely salary demands have scared away other teams.
What is clear, however, are the reasons the Jets, Browns and Lions are all so eager to interview him. Last year, in his first season as a coordinator after eight years as a Philadelphia Eagles assistant, Spagnuolo took over the NFL's 25th-ranked defense and helped it improve to seventh. The Giants also had one of the most aggressive attacks in the league and led the NFL with 53 sacks.
This year, after losing five starters off Spagnuolo's Super Bowl-winning defense - including Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora - the Giants improved to fifth in the NFL in overall defense, and racked up 42 sacks.
If Spagnuolo leaves, it's not completely clear what the Giants will do to replace him. Last year, it was believed they were planning to promote linebackers coach Bill Sheridan, and it's possible that could be the plan again. However, there could be another intriguing outside candidate. Recently fired ***** coach Mike Nolan is a former Giants defensive coordinator and still has ties to the organization.
According to NFL rules, teams looking for a new head coach can interview assistant coaches on playoff teams with bye weeks this week, but they cannot offer them a job until their team is eliminated from the playoffs.

Released: Apr 01st, 2001
Running Time: 106
Director: Bud Lee
Company: Adam & Eve Pictures
Distribution Companies: PHE
Sydnee Steele, Evan Stone, Herschel Savage, Elizabeth X, Dillion Day, Asia Carrera, Dee (I), Joel Lawrence, Alexandra Nice, Devin Wolf, Allysin Chaynes
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
The sex is better than the laughable story; try pushing this one to couples.
It's tough to author a book on vampires when you have a screaming case of writer's block, and Asia Carrera's suffering hard. Her agent Joel Lawrence is desperate to see how much progress she's made, but manages to divert himself with Alexandra Nice in the vid's standout scene; a nom-worthy anal-inclusive match-up that distinguishes itself in that the performers seem actually into the sex and not just making faux-orgasmic for the camera.
Asia isn't that lucky. She visits vampire expert Dillion Day, who insists the creatures are real - and he's got the diary of a Carpathian nobleman-turned-bloodsucker to prove it. Both of them are soon transported to some weird, special-effects laden world. Asia gets fucked decently by ancient vampire Devin Wolf; Dillion meets the evil organ-playing Herschel Savage, whose heavy makeup and open-to-the-waist sheer blouse are more Liberace than corrupt nobleman, but he proves he's all man in a good group encounter with Dee, Allysin Chaynes and Elizabeth X. George Kaplan comes to Asia's aid, morphing into Evan Stone and banging her so good she's able to write again.

In Wells Fargo, the Court of Federal Claims held that a taxpayer may net underpayment balances and overpayment balances among merged entities under Section 6621(d). Section 6621(d) provides that, to the extent the "same taxpayer" has overpayments and underpayments of the same amount outstanding, the net rate of interest during such period is zero. The issue in the case was whether merged entities are the "same taxpayer" for purposes of Section 6621(d), such that their overpayment and underpayment balances may be netted.
The taxpayer argued that the term "same taxpayer" includes both predecessors of the surviving corporation in a statutory merger because the entities become one and the same entity as a matter of law. The government, however, argued that entities are only the "same taxpayer" if they have the same taxpayer identification number at the time of the initial tax overpayment or underpayment.
The Court of Federal Claims agreed with the taxpayer and found that a taxpayer may net underpayment balances and overpayment balances among merged entities because the acquiring corporation becomes one and the same with the target corporation by operation of law. Because the surviving corporation steps into the shoes of the acquired entity and the surviving corporation is liable for the tax payments of its predecessors, it is irrelevant whether the underpayment and overpayment balances arose before or after the merger.
This decision is very significant. The Court of Federal Claims rejected the government's overly narrow view of interest netting and correctly allowed netting in the context of merged corporations. The court's reasoning presents a strong case for extending the holding to other situations such as liquidations and acquisitions when the acquiring corporation legally assumes the target's tax liabilities, whether by operation of law or contractually. The opinion of the Court of Federal Claims is available here.

characters dancing to "Gangnam Style," nor will they recall the Bard setting any of the play's scenes in a swamp.
But the audience for the McNeese State University Bayou Players' last production of the year can expect these and other changes.
The Bayou Players will present "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, April 17-20, and 2 p.m. Sunday,
April 21, in the Shearman Fine Art Performing Arts Theatre.
Director Joy Pace said that in this, her last production with the university, she has tried to challenge herself by re-imagining
the play for a modern audience.
"I'm giving everything I have for my students, as my last hoorah. This is one of my favorite Shakespeare pieces because it
can take place anywhere; I placed it today in a Louisiana swamp," Pace said.
"There are also two dance scenes in the original play, with characters dancing for no reason. I set these scenes to the songs
'Gangnam Style' and the 'Harlem Shake,' because they are iconic and contem
Pace said the piece is set in three different worlds — one involving couples planning to get married, a group of actors putting
on a play and a group of woodland fairies.
She said it's ultimately about love.
"This play really asks the age-old
questions: Should we follow our hearts, our minds, or the law?" Pace
said. "It's really
recognizable to audiences as something they can relate to because
it concerns itself with the crazy things we seem to always
get ourselves into."
Tickets can be purchased by phone at 475-5040 or online at www.mcneese.edu/theatre; cost is $15 for adults, $10 for McNeese
faculty, senior citizens and youth, and free for McNeese students.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
MIKE HOLMES: How to figure out if a home has been flipped
Spring is home-buying season, and buyers need to be extra careful when checking out potential homes. You don't want to buy a lemon.
There are two main options when buying a home: Either you buy new -- a completely new build -- or you buy used.
If you're buying a new home, make sure you check out the builder's track record, and speak to people who have bought their home from the same builder.
Were they happy with their new home? Did they have any problems within the first year? Second year? What types of problems were they? Did they require major fixes, like a leaking basement, a problem with the HVAC or electrical issues? How helpful was the builder when it came to fixing the problem?
Just because a house is new doesn't mean it won't have issues. I've seen brand new homes, not even five years old, with major fixes that nearly bankrupt the homeowner. A new home shouldn't have major problems, but too many times it does.
If you're looking at used homes, be careful with ones that were flipped. These homes are especially a problem because they are deliberately made to look good, but aren't necessarily built or renovated to be good. They take advantage of homebuyers' lack of knowledge when it comes to picking out shoddy workmanship.
Looks are deceiving. A home that's been flipped banks on it.
I don't like flips because most of them are done with one purpose: to make a profit. In most cases, the homeowners don't care about quality because they won't be living there. Their top priority is to sell fast to save on mortgage payments. And once it's sold, any problems in the home become the responsibility of the new owners.
How do you know if it's a flip? There are some warning signs, but again, it comes down to doing your homework. Most people think you need to be a pro to pick out the warning signs, but a lot of it is just common sense.
For example, if the homeowner tells you they just finished renovating the kitchen and bathroom, how much you want to bet they had enough money to do both renovations properly?
A standard kitchen renovation done properly will cost at least $30,000. A bathroom reno can cost nearly $20,000. If the only reason for renovating was to sell, I would be cautious on how the work was done. Good work takes time, and it isn't cheap. Ask the homeowner details about the reno, such as how long it took to find the right contractor, set up the job, choose materials and for the work to be done. If all it took was a few weeks, I would be cautious.
If a home looks like it's been renovated, do a search for any permits on work completed. If changes were made to the plumbing, electrical or structure, permits needed to be pulled.
Also look for cheap materials, such as MDF for cabinetry or laminate flooring. Keep an eye out for bad trim and sloppy paint jobs -- these are red flags for quick and cheap renos. When the trim is off or doesn't line up you can bet the workmanship isn't top quality. If they fumbled on the finishes, they probably cut corners on the stuff they know most buyers will not see -- the stuff behind walls and below flooring.
If windows were replaced, check to make sure they are at least energy star rated. If the home has bad windows you will pay for them for years in extra energy costs. The cost of replacing them will run you at least $10,000. So if they need replacing, as a buyer, you need to know.
One last thing homebuyers can look into is getting a home-history report on a property. Some home inspections even include this service as part of their basic home inspection.
A home-history report uses municipal, provincial and federal data to gather the most up-to-date property information. It's an extra tool that helps protect a homebuyer, so you know exactly what you're walking into.
The report can tell you the home's previous sales price, sale dates, building-permit information, information on structure or any previous insurance claims related to the property. You should know if a home you're looking at had major water damage, flooding, a fire or damage from a natural disaster. Some home-history reports can even tell you if a house was ever used for illicit purposes, like a marijuana grow operation or meth lab.
The more information you have on a property the better. You will know if the electrical or plumbing needs to be looked at by a professional to make sure it's safe, or if the structure of the home was been modified or undermined. It puts you in a better position to buy the right home and buy it smart.

Featured review from Gina
view more less of this reviewThe show was great - all the comics were very funny and the show was about 2 hours. The only complaint we have is the two drink minimum which I missed when buying the tickets. We don't drink and so ended up paying a lot for two cokes. The entrance was hard to find - several people besides us were walking around and around trying to figure out how to get in. Once we found it though, the place is cute and much nicer than expected. The staff were all very pleasant and attentive. We did have a good time and would go back again if it wasn't for the two drink minimum.

Top ranked Wildcats roll over NAU 77-44
Video by kgun9.com
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Nick Johnson scored 20 points, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 14 and top-ranked Arizona rolled over Northern Arizona 77-44 on Monday night to complete its second straight undefeated non-conference season.
Arizona (13-0) played its second straight game without injured center Kaleb Tarczewski, but didn't really need him, grabbing control with a 27-4 first-half run.
The Wildcats dominated the small-program Lumberjacks defensively, holding them to 36 percent shooting while scoring 18 points off 23 turnovers. Arizona has won 27 straight non-conference games.
Brandon Ashley had 11 points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats, who don't play again until their Pac-12 opener against Washington State on Jan. 2.
Aaseem Dixon had nine points for Northern Arizona (3-8).

Motorcyle charging systems?
I recently bought a new battery for my Yamaha V-Max. At one of the bike type of stores (think helmets, clothes, and some accessories) I shopped prices, the kid told me that my bike and most of the newer bikes don't have a charging system. He says there is enough to keep the battery maintained while riding but the battery, unless the bike is ridden EVERYDAY, need to be kept on a battery tender. Is this true and can someone explain it to me. It just doesn't seem to be able to work this way, IMO. Dan

Makes no sense. I did a quick Google search and there are several people who sell alternators for the model you mentioned.
I think he was talking just to talk
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity Chet |
I think the guy's a bit mistaken. Everything I've ever owned, street bike-wise, was able to recharge the battery. All the way from a '64 200cc Bultaco Metralla to Harleys.
I mean, if they couldn't recharge sufficiently, it would take a couple dozen electric starts and it would be dead. Not to mention the headlight burning constantly in many jurisdictions. |
Thanks, guys. This re-affirms my suspicions, I will stay away from this place. I had to get a jump start a few weeks back, drove the heqq out of it for about an hour, the battery had a charge in it when I finished. He tried to sell me a battery for 50 bucks, 30 day warranty, 5 bucks more for a 60 day warranty. WTH? Made my spidey sense tingle, went to NAPA, bought a battery for 70 bucks with a year warranty.

Hi Dan
Here's something about improving the charging system on a V max. I hope it works for your year & helps you. Rich http://www.vmaxoutlaw.com/tech/crimp.htm |
Rich, thanks for the tip! I will do that before I put the battery back in, probably Saturday. Dan
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain |
Battery tenders should be used for rigs that don't get run very often. Battery will last 3 times longer.

Dan, when I lived twelve miles out of town, i never had any issue with my battery staying fully charged... Moved to town..., if i just run back and forth to work, about three miles, my battery doesn't keep a good charge. I have a battery tender on it, and use it.... the voltage at the battery at idle is just under thirteen volts, run the rpm's up, and the voltage will go up to 14-14.5... just take it out on the highway once a week seems to do the trick. I went to do the tip suggested by Rich Stewart, but someone had beaten me to it.

A very nice industrial landscape, well executed. 1/80sec @f16 ensures good DoF and is well within a young persons steady grip range.
V2 I prefer, as again I do feel the converging verticals in V1 require some correction which you seem to have done on V2.
PS. Did you meet Lynne and ET or were you elsewhere at the time?
Nominating Constructive Critique
Didn't see V2 before but it is much better with the adjusted verticals. ET approves too.

Of the two, I prefer V2, Phil.
My reasons are: It doesn't look so squashed, the piping is less dominant, it feels more balanced, and the piping isn't obscuring one of the domes.
However, I prefer the metallic look of the piping in V1 as opposed to the blue in V2.
As to the placement of a figure, which I think would look good, the obvious place is at the bottom of the steps, or walking into the shot from the right and approaching those steps. Alternatively, around where that rectangle is on the ground, but I don't suppose you can remove that because it's part of the reality of the shot.

Japanese Name: | ラフテル |

Official English Name: | Raftel |
Debut: | N/A |
Region: | New World |
Raftel is the island at the end of the Grand Line which supposedly holds the treasure One Piece.
It is also said that upon reaching Raftel, if one has taken with them along their journey the passages of the Poneglyphs, then the Rio Poneglyph will finally be revealed. For this reason, Raftel is possibly the final destination, at least for Nico Robin.[1]
Gol D. Roger and his crew are the only known people to have reached the island. Roger offered Whitebeard the information on how to get to Raftel, but Whitebeard declined because of his own dreams of achieving a "family" of crew members instead of reaching One Piece. This also indicates that getting to the island is not as simple as sailing to the end of the Grand Line.[2]

Black-box model for the complete characterization of the spectral gain and noise in semiconductor optical amplifiers
Optics Express, Vol. 14, Issue 4, pp. 1626-1631 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (693 KB)
A Black Box Model for the quick complete characterization of the optical gain and amplified spontaneous emission noise in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers is presented and verified experimentally. This model provides good accuracy, even neglecting third order terms in the spectral gain shift, and can provide cost reduction in SOA characterization and design as well as provide simple algorithms for hybrid integration in-package control.

On this date in 1947, Sara Paretsky was born in Ames, Iowa. She earned her doctorate in history from the University of Chicago in 1968, later followed by an MBA. After graduating, she began writing crime fiction. Paretsky is most famous for her 15-book series featuring female Chicago detective V.I. Warshawski. The series begins with Indemnity Only (1982) and currently includes Body Work (2010). Paretsky is passionate about social justice and women's rights, and worked as a community organizer in Chicago during the 1966 race riots. In 1986, Paretsky founded Sisters In Crime, an organization that supports female mystery writers. She was named 1987 Woman of the Year by Ms. Magazine. Her numerous other awards include the Gold Dagger from the British Crime Writers for the best novel of 2004. She married her husband, Courtenay Wright, a retired physics professor, in 1976.
"I'm at the atheist end of the agnostic spectrum," Paretsky wrote in a blog post on her website on Sept. 26, 2009. She was raised in a Jewish family and still practices some Jewish traditions, such as Yom Kippur, but has otherwise lost her faith. Paretsky opposes religion's intrusion into science. In her memoir, Writing in an Age of Silence (2007), she wrote about "the roadblocks put up by religion" to women's access to birth control and abortion. Paretsky spoke on Freethought Radio on June 2, 2011, about her family's protest of a mandatory Christian revival at her public high school. She said: "The local paper published their names and their phone number and urged people to call them and tell them to go back where they came from, which was southern Illinois for my father and Brooklyn, New York, for my mother. It is amazing to me how quickly people can be stirred to behave in really vile ways, even though they may most of the time be warm and loving and decent people."

According to The Mirror, the actor was filming for his latest movie Water For Elephants when he was bitten by the creature but not seriously hurt because the lion had no teeth.
Pattinson said: 'Almost every day I'm working with an exotic animal; there are scenes where I'm leading buffalo and elephants into cages. Its insane, like I got bitten on the arm by a lion with no teeth.'

From Our 2009 Archives Workplace Bullying Linked to Sleep ProblemsLatest MedicineNet NewsA good night's sleep may be hard to come by if you are bullied at work. By
Kelli Miller Stacy Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD Sept. 1, 2009 -- Being bullied at work may make you toss and turn all night. Researchers have found that people who are intimidated, insulted, or otherwise harassed on the job are more likely to have sleep disturbances than are other workers. Their findings appear in the Sept.1 issue of the journal Sleep. Workplace bullying may be a common occurrence, according to the new study, which involved more than 7,600 middle-aged workers in southeast France. The study participants answered questionnaires regarding their work environment and ability to fall asleep and return to sleep after early awakenings. In the study, 11% of women and 9% of men reported being exposed to bullying at work at least once a week for at least six months of the previous year. Workplace bullying was defined as "hostile behavior on the part of one or more persons in the work environment that aim continually and repeatedly to offend, oppress, maltreat, or to exclude or isolate over a long period of time." The researchers found that women exposed to bullying on the job every day or nearly every day were about twice as likely as their peers to have sleeping difficulties. Men who had to deal with such hostile behavior now or in the past had more than two times the sleep disturbances as men who had not. The more often someone was bullied on the job, the more likely they were to have sleeping difficulties. The results took into consideration other factors that can affect sleep, such as age, occupation, work hours, and symptoms of depression. Sleep Also Eludes ObserversThe sleep woes also affected those who saw someone else being bullied. Slightly more than a third of workers said they witnessed bullying on the job in the previous 12 months. Among the findings:
The chances for sleep problems increased more if the workers both saw and experienced bullying. The study authors say their findings highlight the need for greater efforts to prevent bullying in the workplace "Workplace bullying may be considered as one of the leading job stressors and would be a major cause of suicide and other health-related issues," Isabelle Niedhammer, PhD, epidemiologist and researcher at the UCD School of Public Health & Population Science at the University College Dublin in Ireland, says in a statement. "Our study underlines the need to better understand and prevent occupational risk factors, such as bullying, for sleep disorders." Adjustment insomnia is the medical term for sleep difficulties that result from an identifiable stressor, such as workplace bullying. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, symptoms may also involve anxiety, worry, depression, muscle tension, and headaches. Adjustment insomnia usually goes away within three months, but it may linger if the person remains in the stressful environment or can't otherwise adapt to the situation.

Twisted Cabinet
Manufactured by Benchmark Furniture, UK
When he was a student, Heatherwick spent time experimentally carving wood on a machine tool called a bobbin sander. Using the rigorous geometry of straight lines, this tool is able to create forms with twisted surfaces. Four of these twisted pieces were combined, forming a cabinet with schizophrenic doors: when they are opened halfway, the bottoms of the doors look as if they are nearly open, while the tops still look almost closed.
Heatherwick made the first and original oak cabinet by hand, and the complex piece is now produced and marketed by Benchmark.
