Visiting my sister and she was given some trout that was begging to be grilled. Found this easy recipe and had all the fresh ingredients. This was simple and simply fantastic!!
We followed the recipe on one fish but on the other fish we substituted fresh dill for the other herbs. Both were delicious and had great flavor.

I am using a BT Home hub to connect to my BT broadband. It was set up for me by a friend and I dont know the password for it. This has never bothered me until today when I bought a new Kindle 4 for my wife and it is asking for the password for the hub so that I can set the kindle wifi connection. Can anyone tell me how to find the password that was used. There must be a way to do this but it is beyond my knowledge. Help someone please!!

The passkey is on a sticker on the back of the hub.
There are two to choose from on the sticker. Just try them and see. Be careful to use the correct lowercase/upper case. if neither work then the Hub can be reset to default settings

You could download SIW and see if it tells you or not.
I know with my daughters router you could reset it back to factory settings then install another password.Not sure if you can do it with yours or not.

I'm really interested in giving it a shot, but I've never done anything like it. The kids really want to be part of making a scene. It'd probably be a wartime scene because I can fit both kids' interests - soliders/battle strategy and the homestead. That seems a bit hard to start, so I'd love ideas on a smaller-scale scene we can make together to learn. Also - I'd love to make something that doesn't require tons of tools until we decide if we like it.

So I bought an airhead... now what?
Howdy everyone. I've been a lurking on here for quite a while now and never posted much, but now I've come to you in search of your wisdom.
So, yesterday I bought a 1973 r60/5 (not the toaster kind) and I think I'm in love. Only thing is, the old girl has some trouble idling. The revs rarely stay above 500 rpms without a little help from its friend, the throttle. It also has this really nasty shake when idling.. is this do to the really low revs? The whole bike could almost walk it was shaking around so much.
I am completely new to mechanics, and know very little about these sorts of problems, so I was hoping you all could help me troubleshoot this. I did some searching and thought it might be a carb thing? maybe out of sync? When I give it some more throttle it stops shaking and ticks along quite nicely.
Thanks! And please pardon me for my ignorance.

There will be smarter people than me chiming in but I think your idle is way low at 500 rpm! Congrats on the new baby. I'm rebuilding an R90/6 from the ground up.

Look under your carbs... you will notice a 'mix' screw... not the one that removes a screw from a little short sticky out tube (if you new to bike wrenching... this should make sense). So you need to turn this mix screw, a bit at a time, until the engine revs highest... then slightly... like 1/16 or a full turn, tune it back. After you have down this for both sides it is time to sync your carbs. If you have no syncing tools or access to some 2/4, some clear tubing and coloured liquid (I use 2 stroke oil..its green) to make a manometer, look on the top of your carbs and you will notice a small screw near the inside front bit. This should adjust your idle... as I said, if you have no tools you can adjust roughly by feel, and watching your mirrors for vibration. You should notice your idle changing as you do this... have a fiddle and away you go. This should get you started. I'm sure you'll find a thread on how to balance your carbs that will provide you with much more detail.

It may be the carbs, it just may be, but don't start there. It's a mistake to start touching any of the settings on this bike until you have an idea of what you are doing and know how to proceed. In no time at all you will be able to advance from a bike that barely runs to one that doesn't run at all. You now have a bike that starts by this time tomorrow you can have a bike that not only won't start but has a bad battery, is out of gas and you have not a clue of what went wrong. I'll repeat this one more time, don't touch the carburetors yet.
Does this bike come with any history, how many miles? Do you know if mileage is correct? Do you know if any major repairs have been done recently, or ever? Please give more instead of less information, now, not later.
When was the engine oil and the other fluids last changed? Start there. Unless you got the bike right after an oil change you change the oil now. New filter too. Do you have a place local to you to buy parts, oil filter and some gaskets and plug washers.
What do you have for tools? The on board tool kit is a good start if it is complete. After the oil and fluid changes you will need feeler gauges for setting the valves. You may need new valve cover gaskets but if it's not leaking now maybe not. There is a small feeler gauge in the tool kit that works for valve adjustments. Do you know when the valves were last set? Then do this after the oil change.
After the valves have been adjusted you will be checking and setting the ignition timing. Your bike originally had a points ignition. Do you know if it still has this or there has been any change to the ignition system such as the addition of a booster?
There are no short cuts. You either learn to do this correctly from the beginning or you will be sitting by the side of the road wondering what went wrong. So we have just briefly covered these things, in this order, oil change, valve adjustment, ignition timing and finally we have arrived at the place where you can adjust the carbs. More on that later.
1...What sort of source do you have for parts? On line or local dealer, not all dealers stock Airhead parts, We'll give you some choices for ordering on line.
2...What kind of tools are with the bike or you have now?
3...Do you have a manual? You will need one. Either the Haynes or Clymers manual will do.
That's just for a start. Welcome to the insanity.

+1, and then some.............
additionally, try and find an airhead inmate in your area. Most of us will be more than happy to help, especially if there is a cold beverage involved.
Don't be intimidated by the complexity of what disston suggested because these bikes are about as simple as it gets, if approached with common sense and respect. In other words, a great way to learn how to wrench.
Have fun learning.

This is the feeler gauge in the OEM on board tool kit. You will need this or something equivalent to set the valves.

You're in Boston, just get in the regional forums and put the word out. You'll have folks over in no time. It's likely that it's nothing big, but it'll look like a nail if your only tool is a hammer, meaning if all you know to do is tune carbs, you'll think up a way that it would be a carb problem.
However it probably is.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Very helpful to someone who's never done this before.
More info on the bike. It has actual mileage of just under 54,000 miles, it's completely stock and has never been in a crash or had any major repairs. As for leaks, it only has one small and slow leak from a cracked pushrod seal on the right side. It has had two owners, the first owner cared for the bike a lot and did all his own maintenance. The previous owner ran out of time to ride and the bike ended up sitting for moderately long periods of time, but never stopped running. The previous owner did however take it to a shop to get the carbs cleaned after the bike would run but not idle. Maybe my problem stems from this problem? Maybe it didn't get completely fixed?
I purchased some manuals a couple days ago and they should arrive within the next week. As for tools and workspace, I'm a college student therefore I don't have much more than a tool kit that was on the bike (more on that later) and the very public workspace of my apartment building's parking garage. Now the tool kit, there was a tool roll that came with the bike, but I'm not sure it's the factory one. It has a bunch of wrenches and allen wrenches, and some pliers that look like they're used to take off the tires? A tube like tool.. I think this is the factory tool kit, just missing some tools. There definitely isn't anything in there that looks like what you posted disston. Where could I find one of those? A quick google search turned up nothing.
I aim to use online suppliers for parts and things. Bmwhucky seems like a good place for this, but I don't have the slightest clue on how to actually order parts... Any other suggestions?
When I get some time this week I plan on doing an oil and filter change while I wait for the manuals to arrive.
Updates to follow! Baby steps...
Thanks again

There's even a special procedure for oil filters on this thing, so do some reading. There are excessive amounts of BMW owners groups online. It won't take much to get in there and learn. Maybe wait on the manuals before you do much of anything and read forums a lot. Certain bolts are prone to breaking, certain seals need the right installation, etc. The airheads seem very unique to themselves, so your reading to action ratio should be weighted heavily towards reading.

Cangrats on your new love. I too have a 73 R60/5 and It's a wonderful machine. Do not do anything to the carburetors until you do a valve adjustment. You could make it worse.

If you can live with the leaking push rod tube seal for now. It may slow down as the bike is ridden a little but if it is cracked it probably won't stop.
Hucky's will have the feeler gauge tool. Your kit should also contain two 12mm wrenches, one 13mm wrench and an open end 10mm wrench. These are part of the OEM kit. You may have them already. I think the hex keys needed are 5mm and 6mm to begin with, for tune up. For oil change you will need the 8mm hex key. I believe there is also a 4mm and a 3mm in the kit.
Check the kit you have for these wrenches and hex keys. Tell us which wrenches and which hex keys you have. It may be cheaper to get some of this stuff at Sears but the OEM tools fit in the tool bag so well so you might try to get them.
In the manual you are getting it will explain how to set timing by the static method. You need a "test light" for this. It will also explain how to set timing with a timing light so you can set timing at full advance. This is recommended so you should have a test light and a timing light.
Hucky's may also have the German brass version of this tool. If he does get that one. It's a couple of dollars more than a cheap one but it is smaller and fits in the tool bag or on the bike easier. If not, if he doesn't have the brass one or doesn't have any test light, he might have another.
You need a few parts to start with. A pair of valve cover gaskets. You may not need these right now but when you take the valve cover off if the ones on there get damaged or tear you may not be able to put the cover back on right away till you have some new ones. So always have a spare set of valve cover gaskets.
We have not figured out yet if your bike has ignition points. If you have the 5mm hex key you can look under the timing cover to see if ignition points ar being used or it has an electronic conversion. I think you are going to find points. You are supposed to disconnect the battery ground cable before removing or replacing the front cover. There are three hex socket screws holding the cover on. The ignition points are at the bottom under the cover.
This is what you see under the front cover. The item on the bottom held by the small nut and it has a couple of tiny springs is the advance unit. This is part of the ignition. Under the advance unit are the ignition points.
The arrow is pointing to the gap in the ignition points. Right now we would like to know if this looks like what you find under the front cover?
When removing and replacing the front cover disconnect the battery ground cable, the right side cable to the battery.
A little about your original question. You said you had a low idle. 500 rpm? How short or long a trip are you using this bike on? If you are just going very short trips the bike may not yet be reaching operating temperature. For the first ten minutes of riding usually you will have to judiciously use the throttle to keep the bike running. Blip the throttle when stopped and sometimes just hold it open a hair when at lights. If the bike does actually idle at 500 rpm that is not too low an idle as long as it is firing evenly and holding it's idle. 500 is the bare minimum but not really too low on a /5.

Dubai opening world's tallest building amid crisis
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Dubai prepared to inaugurate the world's tallest skyscraper on Monday, hoping to shift international attention away from the Gulf emirate's deep financial crisis and rekindle the optimism that fueled its turbocharged growth.
Crews rushed to complete preparations for the official opening of the tower, which stands at least 160 stories high. The exact height will only be revealed at the evening inauguration. The developer's chairman said it cost about $1.5 billion to build the tapering metal-and-glass spire billed as a "vertical city" of luxury apartments and offices. It boasts four swimming pools, a private library and a hotel designed by Giorgio Armani.
Dubai's ruler will open the skyscraper with a fireworks display and light show in a celebration that also marks four years since his ascension to power. Security is expected to be tight with more than 1,000 security personnel including plainclothes police and sharpshooters, local media reported. Cleaning crews were busy scrubbing windows and sweeping the plaza at the tower's base just hours before festivities began.
Burj Dubai opens in the midst of a severe financial crisis in the city-state - one of seven tiny sheikdoms that make up the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai was little more than a sleepy fishing village a generation ago but it boomed into the Middle East's commercial hub over the past two decades on the back of business-friendly trading policies, relative security, and vast amounts of overseas investment.
Then property prices in parts of sheikdom popular with foreign buyers collapsed by nearly half over the past year, and firms owned by the government struggled to pay their massive debts. Dubai had to turn to its richer neighbor and UAE capital Abu Dhabi for bailouts totaling $25 billion in 2009 to help cover debts amassed by a network of state-linked companies.
Now Dubai is now mired in debt and many buildings sit largely empty - the result of overbuilding during a property bubble that has since burst.
Burj developer Emaar is itself partly owned by the government, but is not among the companies known to have received emergency bailout cash.
Despite the past year of hardships, the tower's developer and other officials were in a festive mood, trying to bring the world's focus on the Dubai's future potential rather than past mistakes.
"Crises come and go. And cities move on," said Mohammed Alabbar, chairman of the tower's developer Emaar Properties, told reporters before the inauguration. "You have to move on. Because if you stop taking decisions, you stop growing."
Alabbar said the landmark tower is 90 percent sold in a mix of residential units, offices and other space, offering a counterpoint to Dubai's financial woes.
The developer has only said the spire stands more than 2625 feet (800 meters) tall. Alabbar said Dubai's ruler will announce the height at the inauguration ceremony.
At a reported height of 2,684 feet (818 meters), the Burj Dubai long ago vanquished its nearest rival, the Taipei 101 in Taiwan.

I made my way to go down to mainstreet from fantasyland and i took this nice picture of Sleeping beauty castle!
I headed into Mainstreet shops and decided to catch the parade before i left by Mainstreet Trainstation!
The Starting Float with Mickey, Minnie and Donald.
This float reallly creeps me out because of Alice's head it's just plain creepy i say!
When i had my camera ready for the next float a teacher said we had to go and so i didnt get to finish the parade but i have seen it so many times!
So as i left, I said Au Revoir and hope to return in 2013 for my 16th birthday!
Here is a picture i took of the underconstruction World of Disney store!
As we approched the entrance to Disney Village.
When i was on the bus leaving disney i came across this caravan site i presume by disney and was amazed that disney even had one!
This is my Highlight Picture of disneyduring my trip which is Phantom Manor and Thunder Mountain from the Thunder Mountain queue.
I hope you enjoyed my first Trip Report and the next one ill be doing next year is my WDW trip for christmas and new years.

The Supreme Court in Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc. reaffirmed the principle that the authorized sale of a patented item exhausts patent protection as to that particular item. However, it is unclear how the patent exhaustion/first sale doctrine should apply in the context of self-replicating technology, such as genetically modified or transgenic seed. Especially given the extreme results possible in cases such as Monsanto Co. v. Bowman, this article proposes that contract law rather than patent law should govern the patent holder's rights in an object embodying self-replicating technology after an authorized sale.

U.S. Government Cracking Down On Chinese Digital Piracy
A government official said on Wednesday that the U.S. will make China "a significant focus" of its new efforts to fight global piracy and counterfeiting of U.S. goods ranging from CDs to manufactured products.
"It's fair to say China raises a particularly troubling set of issues," Victoria Espinel, the U.S. intellectual property enforcement coordinator, said in a testimony to the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.
"Therefore, China will be a significant focus of our enforcement efforts as we address intellectual property infringement abroad," Espinel added while testifying on the Obama administration's new intellectual property enforcement strategy.
The International Intellectual Property Alliance has estimated lost sales in China at over $3.5 billion in 2009 because of piracy of U.S. music, movies and software.
U.S. manufacturers also complain that China's counterfeiters rip off their goods and sell them around the world.
"Whether it's coordinating our law enforcement personnel overseas, developing a strategy to go after foreign-based websites or using policy tools to address the competitive disadvantages that we face, China will be a priority," Espinel said.

I re-installed my DS 4 on my imac 10.6.7. Now I am learning to do some animation. i realized that while you are rendering you cannot do anything ( creating another figure, setting another scene in the viewport, etc ) with the studio.
So, i have some questions here.
if i were to get another desk top/ lap top and install another DS studio to work simultaneously, it has to be Mac ( not Window ) and DS 4, right? since every file I purchased and downloaded are in the Mac and for DS 4 format, that means if I copy the DAZ 3D file and use on another machine it has to be same, right? ( Unless once I downloaded the Mac formats its identity as "mac" is done and become universal? )
Or, we cannot have the existing DS 4 pro and a DS 4.5 running on the existing Imac, right?
Thanks in advance for your tips.

We built our house in Roads End because of the beautiful, unspoiled beach. We never tire of exploring the tide pools and sea life that is among the best on the Oregon coast. We enjoy having deer graze in our back yard, walking a few steps to the uncrowded beach and falling to sleep by the crash of waves. The panoramic ocean views make our house unique. Being close to town we enjoy the many restaurants, shopping, golfing and family activities that make this such an incredible place to visit.
The designer kitchen and european style family table encompass the great room. Surrounded by panoramic ocean views and warmed by the gas fireplace and flat screen TV, friends and family will enjoy visiting and entertaining in this stylish home. The kids can go outside to play basketball (seasonal) or enjoy a game of airhockey. To unwind, the downstairs family room is perfect for them to watch a movie. After a day at the beach, the kids will love washing off the sand in the enclosed outdoor shower. Of course, we also have two indoor showers for the less adventurous. For those looking to sneak away from it all, the master soaking tub will take away your worries. Watch the sun set on the spacious balcony or play one of many board games inside.
This house is absolutely amazing. The pictures don't do it justice and the views are incredible. We were able to watch the stormy ocean all day. The location is perfect,so close to the beach. We will definitely be back!
The owner Sandi was a pleasure to work with. We have stayed in Lincoln City before but at the opposite end. Couldn't have asked for a better location! The view was incredible, loved hearing the roar of the ocean and beach access was steps away. We spent the majority of our time on the beach with the kids. The home itself is beautiful, slept 9 comfortably. The only thing I would point out is that it is a open floor plan and could get pretty loud...we were traveling with 6 kids. Very relaxing vacation, I would definitely recommend this house.
Four of us stayed in this home for our annual beach trip in September. Sandi was so great to deal with - always responding very promptly to emails. The house was just as described and we were very comfortable. When we arrived there were no kitchen linens but a quick call to the cleaning service remedied that. The proximity to beach access could not be better! Just a short walk across the street and you're on the beach. We would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay here again.
We stayed a little less than a week in this home with our 3 children (6 years, 4 years, and 20 months). The home has a wonderful layout and our oldest 2 loved staying in the bunkbeds (and loved being able to choose each night if they wanted to stay in a top or bottom bunk!). Our youngest stayed in his pack-n-play in the master closet (seems a little sad I know but we like to keep him close in case he needs something but like a bit of privacy). The house is clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. It is also a VERY quick walk to the beach access. The best thing for us is that the beach access is the closest one to the tide pools at the end of the beach. We had such a great time exploring the tide pools each morning. A couple of things could make this place even better (am I nitpicking, probably): the BBQ while functional is pretty grungy and falling apart, the couch cover could use a washing, and the dishwasher should probably be replaced (or maybe just better dishwasher soap should be provided). All in all though we truly had the best vacation yet in this home. It was wonderful.
We stayed here for the fourth time in two years, over the holidays. We absolutely love the house, and the owners are terrific to work with. The best part of this latest stay? Seeing whales from the master bedroom on the first morning of 2014!
The beach in front of the house is quite great, and you are a quick drive to any number of fantastic areas (I recommend the beach at Fogarty Creek on your way to the whale watching center in Depoe Bay, and there is also Siletz Bay and Cascade Head right nearby). So, location is ideal.
We really love this place. Before we left this time, our girls were already asking when we could return.
This house is so wonderful, like stepping into a Pottery Barn! The kitchen was well stocked, the linens were great, the master bath sublime, and there were a lot of loving touches throughout. Nice deck with ocean views, and it was close to some really good tide pools full of starfish, anemones, and crabs. It is on a quiet road with no highway noise, only lapping wave sound, making our vacation so special. Sandi was so very nice to work with, and we would most assuredly rent it again in a heartbeat!
The property was excellent for our stay. Great location near the end of Lincoln City, so close to the beach. There were numerous options for day trips or spectacular sights to see within short or reasonable drives. We enjoyed downtown Newport, Cape Foulweather, deep sea fishing, marine life, and the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, which was incredible. We enjoyed the nice kitchen as we like to cook, relaxing in the house or at the nearby beach, and exploring the tide pools.
Thanks so much!

Jennifer Lopez is 44-years-old? Come again? Listen, we know she has a team (who are we kidding? An army of hair and makeup people) but we've got to give credit where credit is due. We don't care if the entire state of Nevada helped J. Lo get ready for the Billboard Music Awards last night—she was the best look of the night!
From her voluminous retro hair that was strategically pulled up with a mini-ponytail (hello, instant facelift) to the smoky cat eyes, the songstress gave new meaning to the word "hot."
Could she have gone for fewer brushstrokes of bronzer in the middle her forehead? Sure. But aside from a little unblended bronzer, this look was perfection.
PHOTOS: Learn how to get luxe looks for less in our Beauty Police gallery
Get the Look: Start by spraying damp hair with a weightless "plumping" volume spray like Oribe Volumista Mist for Volume from roots to ends. Using a medium to large barrel round brush, blow out hair.
Wrap sections of hair around the brush and blast the roots with heat for extra lift. When blowing out the shaft of the hair, turn the brush vertically when you get to the ends and blast with heat. This will give the ends curl and movement.
Once hair is completely dry, take the front section of hair and pull up into a small ponytail and secure at the top of your head with an invisible hair band. Pull ponytail up and apart and blend it with the rest of your hair.
Spray entire head with a flexible hold conditioning hairspray that builds volume, like R+Co Outer Space Flexible Hairspray. Locks still looking limp? Flip your head and tousle the bejesus out of your roots while spraying hair.
MORE BEAUTY POLICE: Tips to steal some celeb looks...and avoid others!
To copy J. Lo's seductive smoky eyes, start by covering entire eyelids with a matte powder eye shadow in ivory or cream. Then, apply a long-lasting shimmery cream eye shadow in metallic pink beige like MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Matic in ME-54 to the eyelids.
Now, apply a mushroom taupe eye shadow like MAC Eye Shadow in Coquette above the creases and create a V-shape with the outer corner of your creases and eyes. Next, line your upper lash line with a waterproof eyeliner pencil like Lancôme Le Stylo Waterproof in Minuit, making the line gradually thicker as you get towards the outer corners.
Use eyeliner pencil to create a thin line along your lash line. Smudge into your lash line to soften. Next, with your ring finger, dab shimmery white or cream eye shadow in the inner corners of your eyes. Complete this look with two to three coats of your favorite volume-building mascara.
We don't know if Jennifer has been visiting a witch doctor or perhaps she's chugging fairy dust-infused elixirs, but damn, she looks good. And we didn't even bitch about her nude lip! That's how much we loved this look!

Community to build new house for families of injured soldiers
Fisher House Foundation, which constructs comfort homes to provide free, temporary housing to the families of service members receiving medical care at Veterans Affairs and military hospitals around the world, announced a community partnership with Bonneville Seattle and partners to help raise awareness and funds for the need for a second Fisher House at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma, Washington, to serve the growing number of military families here.

"Fisher House allowed me to be with my son Matt through all of his medical treatments - including painful surgeries and weeks of rehabilitation - without having to worry about the cost of living in a hotel or apartment near the hospital," said Mike Zajac, whose son Matt was injured by an IED explosion in Iraq and received life-changing medical care at Brooke Army Medical Center.

Campaign of the Month: August 2014
The Concord of Ashes
The Malachite Nosferatu
(modified from Constantinople by Night, pp. 68-69)
If legends of noble monsters ever held true, Constantinople's Nosferatu are proof of those legends. Beneath these Cainites' deformed visages lie many of the virtues forgotten by Constantinople's other vampires. Most consider these beasts nothing more than scavengers of blood and information. In the Queen of Cities, however, the Nosferatu do more than hoard secrets – they use them to uphold the tenets of the Dream, and work against the rising tide of doom that assails it from every direction. The Malachite Nosferatu, though few in number, hold status within Constantinople as a Scion family of the Michaelite Toreador, although it is known that they serve the Patriarch directly rather than his Muses.
The Malachite family was born amidst the Iconoclast controversy of the eight century. The empire's monastic orders were disbanded by imperial edict, putting the three core families and their adopted kin at odds with each other. Even the Michaelite Toreador, who supported the veneration of icons as symbolic and not literal, stood against its subordinate family, the Magnus Lasombra. Yet, as stout supporters of ecclesiastic and imperials authority, the Lasombra quickly quashed dissension over the issue of Iconoclasm within their own ranks.
One hapless individual undone during the clashes was a Byzantine prelate named Maleki who – though he did not support the veneration of icons – did not agree with the manner in which the monks were treated. Though Maleki had been promised the Embrace by the Lasombra, his outspoken views instead earned him cruel enmity. Through an outside ally, the Lasombra Magnus had Maleki endure the Kiss of a Nosferatu as punishment for his insolence.
The Patriarch Michael was outraged over the matter; he respected the Nosferatu and would brook no insult to their name by having someone Embraced as a form of corporal punishment. He immediately recognised Maleki as a proper kinsman and gave him family status under his protection. Magnus, though infuriated over the slight, was powerless to pursue the matter further.
While the Nosferatu elder speaks little of his first years as Michael's chosen, a rumour regarding the founding of the Nosferatu family has circulated for many years. It goes that when Michael took the broken fledgeling under his figurative wing and began rebuilding his fractured psyche, he told Maleki that he would be the Rock of Constantinople, the unbreakable base that would stand under which the spirituality of the Dream and the reality of the substance that was the Queen of Cities. His would be the strength that endures, the rare beauty found in hidden and unlikely places, the rock that the enemies of the Dream would break themselves upon. Michael then called his adopted childe Malachite, after the rare and beautiful banded green stone that he favoured. Some believe that it was also a slight play on the word Michaelite. Regardless, the Nosferatu scion family was born that night, and they have proudly claimed their position within the Dream ever since.
Malachite took the Archangel's words to heart, and has spent centuries looking for ways to strengthen the Dream from within, to mend cracks in its spiritual walls where he can, and plug holes where the enemies from without have found a way to insinuate themselves into the fold. The job of the Malachite Nosferatu has never been entirely clear to outsiders or, in truth, many of their fellows among the Families. If they could be said to have a mandate, it is to pick up the slack between the spheres of the rest of the families, and to solve problems that arise unexpectedly.
In these troubled nights, the plate of the Malachite Nosferatu is very full indeed.
The Malachite Nosferatu consist of only three members, a number that Patriarch Michael himself insisted upon. Having said that, a number of childer of Malachite have occasionally moved on to other cities in the empire, and it is thought that they regularly courier information back to their progenitor and his two aides. In addition, a number of powerful Nosferatu elders of the provinces, including the mystic Vanth and the anti-Islamic agitator, Alexius, are known to consider Malachite their ally.
As one might expect, the workings and organisation of the Byzantine Nosferatu are largely unknown to the other families. Malachite himself can often be found attending Elysium at the Great Palace or the Old Senate House. There he engages in the politics of the families, and is a frequent ally of Autokrator Natalya Syvatoslav of the Lexor Brujah and Baron Thomas of the Byzantine Gangrel. He is easily recognised, choosing to display his true face without shame or fear.
In contrast, Vaclav is almost never seen in Elysium and is thought to haunt the Latin Quarter, spying on the doings of the Narsene Lasombra and the various other factions and independents among the Latins. Zenobios is even more secretive, and has not been seen since the aftermath of the Latin Riots, though Malachite readily admits that he still receives reports from him.
- Malachite, the Rock of Constantinople (7th gen. Childe of Vasilli the Penitent Dog, e. mid 9th century CE)
- Vaclav, the Minstrel (8th gen. Childe of Malachite, e. early 10th century CE)
- Zenobios, the Hidden (8th gen. Childe of Malachite, e. early 11th century CE)
Disaster looms when the families of the Trinity argue or turn inwards, and the Nosferatu know it. They seek to make alliances amongst the other Scion families so that they might expand their ability to solve the numerous problems besetting the city. Currently, their appears to be an arrangement of sorts with the Lexor Brujah and the Baron's Gangrel. Members of the three families increasingly work together, although only the most perceptive of outsiders can guess at what they are up to.
The Nosferatu are known to be deeply concerned regarding the vampiric over-population of the Latin Quarter, and the apparent nonchalance with which the the Cainites there appear to hold the Codex of Legacies. Much of their energy is currently spent attempting to gather information about Bishop Alfonzo's plans.
The Malachite Nosferatu remain loyal only to Michael. Petronius, despite all his efforts to gain the favour of Malachite and his progeny, warrants only cool formality as far as they are concerned. It is thought that the Arbiter gave some dire, unforgiveable insult to Malachite centuries ago. The rest of the Muse's and their subordinates receive even less regard than he, and Malachite has openly called them useless on more than one occasion. Any overtures from their direction are met with suspicion, at best, and scorn at worst.
The Nosferatu also have little time for the other primary families of the Trinity. The Obertus have ceased to perform any functional role in the Dream, and the Antonians have utterly failed in their mandate.
The ascerbic disposition of the Malachite Nosferatu towards the Magnus and the Narsene families is well known in all districts of the city. Magnus hates Malachite with a vitriol reserved for no other, and Malachite returns his hatred with equal fervour. Their progeny follow suit, and the two families actively and pointedly ignore each other at all times. Bishop Alfonzo is considered an enemy of the Dream by the Malachite Nosferatu, and they strive to keep an eye on him above all others.
As for the rest of the families, the Children of Judas are considered part of the problems besetting the city. The Nosferatu have nothing to do with them. The Lexor Brujah and the Baron's Gangrel are considered to be allies, and the Nosferatu freely share information with them.
The Malachite Nosferatu are very insular outside of their informal alliances. They trust very few Cainites, especially outsiders. They work only with the Lexor Brujah and the Baron's Gangrel, and individuals of either clan are only trusted when they are actually members of those families. Outsiders are watched and regarded with skepticism unless they prove themselves as beneficent in disposition towards the Dream. Even foreign Nosferatu are watched carefully. Winning acceptance from the Malachite Nosferatu is a long and difficult task, especially for anyone who happens to belong to the Lasombra.
Little is known of the internal relations of the Malachite Nosferatu. As far as the rest of the city is concerned, the progeny of malachite are fanatically devoted to their sire and the Dream. They are united in purpose and monolithic in disposition. Of course, as their are only two of them, this is more or less taken for granted.

Restoring bootstripe by wet sanding?
My 13 year old boat has a bootstripe that's in pretty good condition, it's just gotten a little chalky. I'd like to restore the bootstripe before launching. Traditional compounds do not make any visible improvement on the chalk. I tried wet sanding with 2000 grit on a test spot under the stern, and it came out well, but only after A LOT of time. I don't think it is practical to do the whole boat that way. I suspect that wet sanding with a coarser grit will allow me to work much more quickly.
My question is how coarse do you think I could go without scratching all the way through the stripe? 1000? 500? 220?
If any of you have actual experience with this to share, I'd appreciate it.
Obviously I'd follow this up with finer grits and compound, and a good wax over top to prevent additional chalking.

In his encouraging book, Operation HOPE founder and businessman Bryant argues that the mechanisms that enable upward mobility are simple and straightforward: education and guidance in personal finance, banking, and credit score management. With these tools, Bryant believes that the poor and working class can make great entrepreneurs, not in spite of their struggles, but because of them. "Youth from low-wealth communities," he writes, "are forced to have much stronger coping skills, to deal with difficult people and difficult situations.... Just as loss creates leaders, so too does this sort of sustained adversity management create and cultivate a personality that better manages less-than-perfect circumstances." Having grown up "in a diverse neighborhood of striving and struggling families," Bryant writes from a place of authority. However, his ideas about improving financial literacy and expanding opportunity are actionable rather than groundbreaking; the book serves as an effective package for his programmatic plans and a manifesto for his organization. With luck, it will provide the needed instruction to boost working-class communities. (June)

On Sunday afternoon, under the bright hot sun, a group of people took to the street of Ferguson, Missouri, chanting just one phrase - "I am Darren Wilson."
Darren Wilson was once an unknown face in the criminal justice system, but has since shot to worldwide recognition as the police office who fatally shot an unarmed African-American teenager named Michael Brown. Since then the world has been watching as this death sparked a wide amount of activity in the small Missouri town.
Sunday's gathering began to rapidly build up outside a local pub in South St. Louis. There were as many as 70 people crowding around a table which claimed to have raised thousands of dollars for Wilson. A press conference was held about the same, in which the group shouted out in unison, "We are Darren Wilson."

Although participants did not want to talk to the media, Buzzfeed reports that a police officer and one of the organisers named Mark explained that the point was to reassure Wilson that people still did think "he's a good officer and that they "have his back." Buzzfeed further reported that most people were reluctant to talk to the media, however one did give them a statement saying that he knew Wilson personally and that Wilson wasn't a racist. As per Buzzfeed's reports there were still those who were willing to speak out. Tina Morrison said, "We'll all see this in the end that it was a good shooting. You know, it was a good kill."
She goes on to tell Buzzfeed, "And had I been terrified for my life I would have killed him too," also adding that "I totally believe what he did was the right thing."
The above video shows that this was not the first instance of protests standing behind the accused Darren Wilson. Huffington Post's video, shows Jeremy Arnold protesting while holding up a sign in support of Wilson, claiming that "(Michael Brown) got exactly what he deserved."
Huffington further reports that Arnold traveled from Fairview Heights, Illinois, for the Wilson event at Barney's Sports Pub which began on Saturday and continued on Sunday. The event was announced on one of the numerous 'Support Darren Wilson' Facebook pages, which has reportedly raised more than $200,000 for the Ferguson police officer as well as amassed a large number of supporters to the cause.
The Huffington Post also received a statement by Sharon, one of the participants at the rally in which she explains that there are two sides to every story, "and I think he (Darren Wilson) has gotten such a bad rap".
Although, there was a large turn out in support of the Ferguson police officer, there were residents that were not happy with the protest.
Local resident Graham Stewart showed up with a sign with the words "end police brutality," reported Buzzfeed. He also released a statement to the website, "It's really upsetting to me that this rally is taking place in my neighborhood," he said. "It's really upsetting to me that they seem to have the support of many of the people who live here, or who are at least driving by." Graham also argued that though there are many who are upset about Brown's death, there are those that want to make sure there's an impartial investigation and the support comes to the accused simply because he's a police officer.

Long Branch GO on track for a makeover
The GO station is getting a makeover as Long Branch prepares for a revival.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The place where Toronto meets Mississauga along the lakeshore is about to become the transit hub where old meets new.
The Long Branch GO station, one of the original stops on the Lake Shore West line, is on track for a makeover.
The modernization plan, still in the preliminary design stages, comes as the main drag in the south Etobicoke neighbourhood prepares to add a little chic to its long-standing shabby image.
New condos, townhouses and shops will inevitably bring more transit riders.
Little has changed at the GO stop since it opened in 1967, replacing the CNR station near Brown's Line. Now it's about to enter the 21st century.
It will be 2016 before the station is fully refurbished. The modernization is about making Long Branch accessible with four new elevators, washrooms, tunnels and other modern touches such as a new ticketing office and canopies on the platforms, said Nick Spensieri, GO's director, Multi-Modal Infrastructure.
It's one of only six GO stations that remain inaccessible and the plan is to have them all transformed by 2016.
"The challenge is that, right now, the configuration of the platforms won't accommodate the elevator shaft to meet the requirements of new elevator standards," said Spensieri.
About 2,700 riders a day use the GO station with about 10 per cent of them transferring to the TTC there. Mississauga's MiWay buses also pull in at Long Branch.
The TTC isn't planning any major changes to its historic Long Branch streetcar loop that has remained virtually the same as when it opened in 1928 and now attracts about 3,000 riders a day.
It's the spot where the old single-track, side-of-the-road radial railway that ran from Sunnyside to Port Credit, was converted to a double-track city streetcar route. Even the shelter there is original, according to the TTC's Scott Haskill.
The low-rise vintage feel of Lake Shore Blvd. is, however, slowly being transformed, although some long-time residents aren't happy about more people and taller buildings moving into the area, said Mark Bozzo, president of Queenscorp Inc.
Raised in Mimico, he lives in Port Credit and envisions a similarly vibrant, mid-rise streetscape for Long Branch.
He compares Toronto's west-end border neighbourhood to the town of the same name in New Jersey. Once a beachfront destination, it used to attract industry, which in turn spurred retail. When the industry left, the retail declined and it turned into a place that people just drove through.
Queenscorp, which has been buying property in the area since about 1996, is developing the 72-unit, 7-storey Watermark condos near the transit hub.
Even though condo buyers are purchasing apartments that come with parking spaces, many of them have no plans to own cars, said Bozzo.
"They're buyers who see this and say, 'I'm two blocks from the lake, 10 minutes to the airport, a 5-minute walk to the GO station.' They see the streetscape evolving," he said.
The trick is to attract enough residents to support national retailers while leaving room for stable businesses such as Burrito Boyz and Woody's Burgers.
"We want to put Long Branch back on the map," said Bozzo. "We want to bring it alive. We're so close we can touch it."

|The cost of warehouse operations contributes approximately 20% of the total cost in a supply-chain system, and the cost of the picking process can be as high as 65% of the warehousing cost. Therefore, there is an incentive to improve the picking process in order to reduce the overall cost of the supply-chain system. The item assignment policy which allocates items to storage locations is one of the main decision processes that is aimed at lowering the travelling cost, which is normally considered as waste. Existing methods like the Cube-per-Order-Index (COI) and the volume-based strategy focus on the picking of items individually, the fact that multiple items can be picked in one single route is not considered. In this research, the concept of linear placement that has been used in computer science is adopted to create the Minimum Delay Algorithm (MDA). The method includes the relationship among items in order to generate the item storage layout that minimizes the total walking distance of order pickers. MDA was tested against other methods like CLP, COI, and OOS with 30 study cases. The results show that MDA can provide up to a 40% travel distance saving. Finally, MDA is combined with CLP, which is an iterative improvement method, in order to further improve the solution.

One of us
His name was Wilhelmus JJ Lutz Geertman. A native of Holland, he left his country 46 years ago and settled in the Philippines—not in any of its cities, but in its poor, desperate corners, where, for the rest of his life until his murder on July 7, he worked tirelessly for the betterment of the marginalized communities around him. As executive director of the nongovernmental group Alay Bayan-Luson Inc., he held office in a middle-class subdivision in Aurora province whose main road, oddly called the Rue de Paree, was perhaps the closest reminder he had of his European roots.
But it's a safe bet Geertman never gave the street name a wistful glance, as he had cast his eyes somewhere else. "His coworkers tell me he was more Filipino than Dutch," said his brother Antonius, who flew in from the Netherlands with sister Maria Elisabeth for the grim task of burying Geertman in the province and country he had long called his own. The siblings were joined by some 1,000 mourners, many of them the poorest of the poor and recipients of Geertman's generosity and compassion through the years, in giving their brother a final, grateful send-off.
They were thankful for the fact that Geertman was, to be blunt about it, not only more Filipino than Dutch but also more Filipino than many citizens of this country. Much of his 67 years was spent trying to make a difference in ordinary Filipinos' lives—specifically, to empower them, fight for their welfare, and give them a decent place in the social order.
In the 1980s, he taught Dumagat, Alta, Cordilleran and Ilongot elders to write and count to allow them to manage their own affairs without being exploited by traders and mining interests. He also taught them how to farm their ancestral lands efficiently. Before that, he organized stevedores and workers in Luzon shipyards into unions, then spearheaded agriculture and literacy programs in Baler and other towns. He raised money for the scholarship of students, trained people on disaster preparedness, and joined the fight for human rights, agrarian reform and responsible mining. The small pension he received from the Dutch government he even shared with farmers and the poor.
"Wim was a foreigner but he lived like one of us," said Marietta Corpuz, chair of Samahan ng mga Katutubo sa Sierra Madre. "He ate what we ate. He did not make us feel that he was different from us or he was better than us. He crossed rivers so he could reach remote villages."
Was his death at the hands of still unidentified gunmen a case of plain robbery, or a result of his tenacious, committed work on such causes? The police think a premeditated heist is the simpler explanation, because Geertman was reportedly carrying some P1.2 million he had earlier withdrawn from a bank, to be used for his scholarships. After shooting him in the back, his killers fled with the money.
But the prominence of Geertman's social work—his opposition to mining, logging and the commercialization of agricultural land in Aurora, for instance—lends plausibility to the suspicion, immediately voiced by those closest to him, that he was killed chiefly because his activities were increasingly becoming a bane to powerful, shadowy interests. His reported ties with Hacienda Luisita farmers have been cited as a possible reason for the "politically motivated" killing, though Alay Bayan-Luson spokesperson Loren Villareal has said it was unlikely he was killed for this reason: "We tend to link Wim's death to his anticorporate mining and logging stance, and to his being a staunch environmentalist."
Whatever the motivation behind it, Geertman's death is a tragedy. More than that, it is an outrage—the latest blood-soaked evidence of the government's sheer inability to stop the extrajudicial killings that have continued to define the country as a land of lawlessness and impunity. Geertman's death is the 13th such killing to occur under the two-year-old Aquino administration, which people had hoped would be able to stem the tide of assassinations (about 305) that marked the presidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. But no respite is in sight.
Geertman could have stayed in his native land and lived a comfortable life, but "home is the Philippines, particularly Aurora," he had told those around him. With his death, the Philippines has lost an outstanding citizen, whatever citizenship is stated in his passport. If this country knows how to be grateful, it should demand that the government act, at last, to make Geertman's death the last of its kind.

2000 BEST Wine Shop, City
Brookline Liquor Mart
From the outside, this sprawling liquor store looks like any other rundown rendezvous for drunken booze-hounds. Inside, however, you'll find one of the finest selections of vintage wine in New England. It's for the latter that we just can't seem to get enough of this store. Laid out in neatly labeled rows are bottles of liquid gold that may cost you more than a month's rent. But no matter: Even if you're not a millionaire collector, the knowledgeable staff will help you find a reasonable red to go with the venison stew that's bubbling at home. Especially strong: Rhone, Burgundy, and Bordeaux selections. Expand your vino repertoire at the Mart's regular tastings or by clicking through their encyclopedic Web site. And don't miss the bargain basement (which is exactly what it sounds like); it can be a treasure trove if you hit it at the right moment.

The eight positions of the body in ballet are the croisé devant, quatrième devant, effacé devant, à la seconde, croisé derriere, ecarté, epaulé and quatrième derrière positions. These are the basic poses and positions of the body around which a variety of other different types of movements are based. All other steps in ballet can be performed by starting from one of these eight positions.
In the croisé devant position, dancers face a corner of the room with one extended leg closer to the audience. Their arms must be open. In the quatrième devant position, dancers face the audience directly. The leg is still extended, pointing to the front, with their arms open and directed towards the audience. Unlike these two, in the effacé devant position, dancers conceal some of their bodies by facing the audience at an oblique angle. As a contrast to the croisé devant position, dancers use their leg farthest from the audience as the working leg. The à la seconde position is performed by facing the audience and extending a leg to the side.
When dancers assume the croisé derriere position, they face a corner and open their arms. The working leg must point backwards. By contrast, the ecarté position allows dancers to face any given corner and to use the leg closest to the audience as a working leg. They then raise their heads and face the raised arm slightly. Their eyes do not look into the audience. The epaulé position also requires facing a corner, with an arm extending forwards and the head facing the audience. Similarly, the quatrième derrière position relies on the dancer's head facing the audience. However, the leg must be pointing backwards with the arms open.
