with a Children's Day exhibition and brilliant azaleas!
Children's Dayこどもの日 (Kodomo Matsuri)
For centuries, Japan celebrated Boys' Day and Girls' day separately, but in 1948 these two festivals were combined into one event on May 5th, now called Children's Day. This holiday celebrates the importance of children by honoring them with activities that emphasize or symbolize good health and happiness. In return, children express their gratitude for the love and care they receive from their parents and grandparents.
Boys' Day端午の節 (Tango no Sekku)
Boys' Day has historically been celebrated on May 5th. This festival encourages boys to be strong and brave. Throughout late April and early May, Japanese homes are decorated with huge, brightly-colored koinobori, or carp-shaped windsocks, made of paper or cloth which fill with wind and appear to swim through the air, symbolizing a wish for their sons to grow strong like the carp that swim against the current. These carp sets are flown above the roofs of houses with sons, with the biggest (black) koinobori for the father, next biggest (red) for the mother, and ranging down to the smallest carp for the youngest son. The carp symbolizes health and determination because the Japanese believe that the carp has the strength and tenacity to overcome obstacles. These traits encourage boys to reach high-set goals enabling them to surpass life's difficulties and become successful.
The origins of the Boys' Day festival is unknown, but was celebrated as early as the 7th century, while kite flying traces its origins to the 12th century when warriors flew streamers in celebration of victory. Today, young boys receive samurai warrior dolls and replicas as a gift from family members. Families decorate their houses with these miniature pieces (usually a helmet, suit of armor, sword, bow, and arrow.) Silk banners with the family crest are also displayed.
Kashiwa mochi (mochi rice cakes wrapped in oak leaves and filled with red beans jam) and chimaki (sweet rice paste wrapped in an iris or bamboo leaf) are traditionally served on this day. The iris has become a symbol of Boys' Day because the flower petals resemble a samurai's sword.
Girls' Day雛祭り (Hina Matsuri)
Girls' Day is traditionally celebrated on March 3rd. Families with young daughters celebrate this holiday at home with gifts of hina dolls. The hina dolls are a set of 15-20 dolls that resemble the Emperor's court. In addition to the Emperor and Empress, there are dolls representing many roles of the court such as musicians, ladies-in-waiting, and warrior guards. The dolls are placed on a tiered platform of five to seven steps lined with a red cloth, with the Emperor and Empress on the top step. These dolls are often given to young girls by their grandmother and are considered heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation.
Hishi mochi, diamond-shaped rice cakes, are traditionally made on Girls' Day. A pair of these, usually colored pink, yellow, and/or green, and made of three or five layers, is displayed with the hina dolls tiered stand.
The peach blossom is the symbol of Girls' Day. Peach blossoms symbolize a happy marriage as well as gentility, composure, and tranquility.
Azaleasつつじ (tsutsuji) in Shofuso's Garden
Shofuso's garden is so full of Hino white and Wissahickon red azaleas that in late April and early May, the pond-side is aflame with their flowers. During this season, after the cherry blossoms have fallen, visitors flock to the Japanese House to view this colorful spectacle.

MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. Colonoscopy is regarded as the most thorough way to screen for colon cancer but the potentially life-saving procedure can also be painful. Scientists and engineers are continually researching new methods of screening to reduce patient discomfort while also ensuring the accuracy of the exam. Researchers at Tufts University's School of Engineering led by Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Caroline G.L. Cao, Ph.D., have developed a device that could potentially do both.
Tufts endoscopic fiber optic shape tracker (EFOST) technology is a possible solution to the problem that occurs when the endoscope is inserted into the colon during routine screening. As an endoscopist navigates the scope through the bends and turns in the colon, its tip can impinge against the colon wall.
When this happens, the tip becomes stationary and is unable to move forward. As the physician applies more pressure, a loop can form in the length of scope behind the tip. Because the traditional endoscope provides only a frontal view during the procedure, the doctor cannot see the loop, much less easily maneuver the scope to remove it. Not surprisingly, looping can be a major source of pain during a colonoscopy.
But by outfitting an endoscope with fiber optic bend sensors and digital electronics that display its position and shape on a video monitor, the Tufts engineers have built a system that could serve as a visual navigation tool, says Cao
"Doctors will have a way to see in real-time how the scope is moving inside the patient's body," says Cao. "If the scope begins to loop, they will see it instantaneously and then be able to make adjustments to straighten it out."
Bend Sensors to Create a Visual Image
Cao and Mechanical Engineering Research Associate Professor Peter Y. Wong, Ph.D, described their concept in a paper titled "Localized Active-Cladding Optical Fiber Bend Sensor" in June 2010 i

Chris O'Dell, who worked as an assistant and tour manager in the music industry from 1968 to 1984, shares her inside perspective about life with some of our most legendary musicians.
Private photographs illustrate her new book, "Miss O'Dell: My Hard Days and Long Nights with the Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and the Women They Loved."
After reading the excerpt below, head to the "GMA" Library to find more good reads.
Derek Taylor February-March 1968
I was sprawled out on the sofa in my Hollywood apartment, wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, watching a game show on the black-and-white, thirteen-inch TV, smoking a joint, and getting really annoyed. My date was almost two hours late. I was alone in the apartment because my roommates, both high school friends from Tucson, were out partying. Where the hell was he?
When the phone finally rang around 10:00 p.m., I didn't try to hide the fact that I was upset.
"Chris! It's Allan." He sounded a little out of breath, and from the background noise I guessed he was in a restaurant somewhere.
"Allan, where have you been?" I said. "You said you'd be here two hours ago."
"I know, I'm sorry, but look, I'm at the La Brea Inn with some friends and there's someone here you have to meet." Allan was talking fast. "His name is Derek Taylor, he used to work for the Beatles, he's doing publicity for A&M Records, and, Chris, you just have to come down here and meet him."
"I don't want to go out. I thought you were coming over here." I was still annoyed with Allan, and I didn't believe that this guy Derek knew the Beatles. The Beatles! Who knew anyone who worked for the Beatles? He was probably just one of those people hanging out on the periphery who once met someone who once knew someone who claimed they were once best friends with someone who worked for the Beatles.
"Chris, you'll really like him." Allan sounded pretty excited, actually. He was almost pleading with me. "Just jump in your car and come over. Come on!"
I was torn -- should I go or stay? I remember staring at the lamp on the side table, almost as if I thought it might tell me what to do. Allan seemed sincere about wanting me to join him, and whoever Derek was, he had certainly impressed Allan. I'd never seen him act this way about anyone before. Oh, what the heck, whatever happened, it would be better than sitting in my apartment all alone feeling sorry for myself.
"Okay," I said. "I'll be there in half an hour or so."
"Hurry. I'll be watching for you," he said.
I changed into my yellow-striped bell-bottom jeans and white top with puffy sleeves (Cher in her "Sonny and" days was my fashion idol), touched up my makeup, and drove to the La Brea Inn on Sunset Boulevard and North La Brea Avenue. I loved my new beige Mustang, which I'd bought in Tucson for two thousand dollars. My father cosigned the loan. I'll never forget that feeling of driving off the lot in my new car, the windows down, the hot desert air blowing through my hair. Oh, that indescribable feeling of total freedom!

Welcome, Unregistered.

i didnt think i was going to go for this program since its like 6600 for a $5 starbucks gc but with all the varied point amounts i figured they would be a pain to try to trade any i found in the recycler here.ive had fairly good luck.im at 1100 points so far.points ive got so far i think is 50,75 and 150 from different products.
Like that. I just found a Pop Tarts box for 60 points.
Here's a list of all the things with codes:
I've got lots of MCR points to trade!
I'm looking for:
-Disney Movie Rewards points
-Kellogg's Family Rewards Codes (Especially Scholastic, Spiderman and Gift of Music codes!)
-Foodservice Rewards Codes
-Stouffer's Rewards codes
-Amazon gift Codes
Product Points ValueI have a Flap with a code from an 8 Bar package of Rice Krispies Treats. How do I know how many points this product is worth? It does not say anywhere.
I found the link in the previous post (#47). I thought it was just for products - But it is for Product and Points.
Last edited by orbitcoke; 08-25-2012 at 05:38 PM.. Reason: New Information added
Packages with Codes Slow to ShelvesI noticed that with the Kellogg's Family Rewards - The new packages with the codes in them are SLOW getting to the grocery store shelves. You have to make sure you look for the Kellogg's Family Rewards Logo on the package. The codes are only in the packages marked with this logo.
Logo is shown in Post #47
New Package Eggo's Waffles - No CodesI just bought a New Box of Eggo Waffles - Right out of the Cardboard Case at Shop Rite and there was no Kellogg's Family Rewards Logo on the box and No Codes in the box. I wonder when these codes will become readily available?
I see on the grocery store shelves that the Kellogg's Family Rewards Codes are becoming more readily available. With all the boxes of cereal that I purchased today having the codes I will be able to accumulate points rather quickly. I was able to tell by the Kellogg's Family Rewards Symbol on the package that they contain the points code in them. It was slow going for a while trying to find Kellogg's products with the Rewards Code Symbol on them . . . .

Stanford is lilly white and slow....
They were able to beat the option by not overpursuing and by beating Oregon's offensive live block by block all night long...basically they took Barner and Black Momba out of the game and forced Mariotta to beat them running and passing...
Think about THIS: Stanford was -2 in turnovers, they missed a 4th down conversion to set up an Oregon touchdown, only scored 17 points themselves and STILL WON
If you would have predicted this before the game people would have said you were crazy...
Stanford Vs Oregon tonight! Get ready

Y'all realize JR has nothing to do with Bojangles now, right?
Yes. Hasn't for some time now.
He can still buy a lot of biscuit tho. And it's funny.

Oregon's best team they payed was a mediocre 7-4 USC team. The first good team they play, they lose. Been saying all year they aren't as good as they are cracked up to be. Wait till my Beavers upset them for the second week in a row.. this game won't be at Autzen Stadium.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:54 PM
They looked really fast out there to me. Oregon has no strength, which is their weakness.
That's why they lose vs teams who have both speed and strength along the lines.
uhhh what? you just said exactly what i said

In addition, the group can dine al fresco on the bridge deck or at the full dining table in the main salon.
Lest you decide to maintain the status quo on your fitness level, Lady J offers two treadmills shaded by canopy as well as free weights and yoga mats (and instructional DVDs, of course).

Both of these boats can carry you comfortably into enchanting ports of call or whisk guests around on water skis. The yacht also stores a full array of deep-sea fishing equipment, snorkel gear for all ages, six full scuba diving sets and a Jacuzzi on the sun deck, where staff members are happy to serve you cocktails.

Digital Photograph - Nursery Workshop, Women on Farms Gathering, Yarram, 2003 Reg. No: MM 90650
- Summary:
- Photograph taken at the 2003 Yarram Women on Farms Gathering depicting participants taking part in a workshop at Klein's Nursery in Yarram.
- Description:
- Colour Digital Photograph
- Statement Of Significance:
- Workshops have been a regular feature of all Victorian Women on Farms Gatherings ever since the first Gathering in Warragul in 1990. At the inaugural 1990 Gathering, workshops were inspired by the farm skills courses that had been running around Victoria during the late 1980s and that had been the forerunner to the first Gathering. These workshops were very hands-on and focused predominately on enhancing the practical farm skills of the women that participated. However, as the Gatherings themselves evolved to include a range of broader rurally based activities and issues, workshops too became more diverse and began to include a range of non-farming educational opportunities. Whatever their focus, all workshops have aimed to educate, inspire, upskill and rejuvenate the women that partake. Situated in the wider context of the rural women's movement in Australia, these workshops represent a collective move by rural women to educate themselves, raise their public profile and in doing so, to challenge the dominant representation of rural Australia as a male domain.

Recently I met someone locally who found out I am a published novelist and they expounded on how that has been their life's ambition, and all I can say is …
So you want to be a writer? Are you sure about that?
Wait, let me rephrase that question in a way that will reflect the true essence of what I am asking you … because if there is one thing I have discovered it is that there is a huge and gaping chasm between being a writer and what I am getting at.
So, you wanna be a published writer? There, that's better. Well, here's a little three step guide as to how to do that, or not, depending on your perspective.
One, write something. Easy enough?
Nope, because if it was, the actual art of doing it would be as mundane as mowing your lawn … and if you expect to make a living at it, you should probably go ahead and start mowing the neighbors' lawns too. You'll get rich quicker that way.
Sit down, develop the concept of your story, your character(s), your plot line. Spend days, weeks, even months rolling them around in your head — it took me 10 years to get the first words of The Good Reverend on paper — listening as they talk to you and develop their own voice, mannerisms, quirks, and personalities and soon the plot lines are smooth and seamless, locales are vivid images in your mind like those travel guide slicks you see.
Now you're off and running.
Two, begin the rounds of selling that story. All it takes is submitting it to a publisher or agent and the next thing you know, you have an advance check in your hand and the process of designing cover art, page layouts, bios, cover photos, publicity pics, agents and publicists lining up around the block, taking a number to even speak with you for a moment, hoping to get a piece of the next big thing.
Your life has changed now. That one concept, that one novel, is now your meal ticket and people are ready to cater to your every need.
Three, line up book signings from coast to coast at all of the big box bookstores … the ones that come equipped with cappuccino vendors, couches, reading nooks and intellectual and beautiful people who could as easily be mannequins as people.
Once the sign goes up in the store that you're gonna be in town, you'll have to begin turning down invitations to appear. Let's face it, once you're out there and you have your winning manuscript in the public's hands, no one is going to be able to get enough … you are finally seen as a literary genius, an artist, a phenom, with people amazed that you came out of nowhere so quickly, so naturally talented they wonder why you didn't do it sooner. The lines of people are massive and overwhelming!
Sounds easy enough. Well, I would be a liar — or a writer — if I tried to sell that to you.
OK, ready for the truth? First, that story I described falling from your mind onto the page is a myth, it doesn't exist. You will delete and trash far more of the words that you write than people will ever see. That story you so carefully plotted to the most minute degree for so long goes flying out the window in the first five pages because those characters will decide they don't like what you are making them do. They wanna do something else.
The seamless plot lines become blurred and fuzzy because as the people wanna change what they are saying or doing or refuse to cooperate, all the little plot points you knew were perfect literary devices are no longer viable … and before long you begin to talk out loud to these imaginary people because they won't do what they are told.
As for the second hint above, here's a fact for you: You have a better chance of marrying Demi Moore, or maybe Roger Moore for you women, than you do of finding an agent (it's easier to get published than find an agent) because the woods are full of people who have as much talent as you do beating their doors down.
That third thing I talked about? Well, come on, has anyone seen me on the Today show rubbing elbows with Matt Lauer? Truth is, you have to be willing to speak at any function or gathering of more than three people for a cheeseburger, a gallon of gas, and a roadmap to find your way out of whatever hole in the wall you happen to be in at the time.
So, you still want to be a published writer? Here's the truth on how to become a novelist.
One, don't play God with the story and characters. It's their story, shut up, get out of the way and let them tell it. Two, rub your skin daily with a scouring pad until it is tough and leathery because the one word you are going to have to learn to read and hear is "no."
Three, be prepared for long weekends on the road in bookstores wherever they will have you. The only sounds that you'll remember hearing aren't the thunderous roars of appreciation for the work you put in, but the Muzak and the crickets chirping while some guy named Francis is staring at you because his store is empty and he was banking on you to pay the mortgage that month. He'll be lucky if he can pay the light bill off what you brought him.
My advice? Write … write … write … for you.

If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole. If you're using sea scallops, cut each 1 in half horizontally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in 1 layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on 1 side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Workers Wreak Havoc During Home Remodeling Job In Oregon
By editor
Originally published on Thu May 9, 2013 8:43 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Home remodeling is hard and nobody knows that better than workers near Florence, Oregon. Three men arrived on the job. KCST radio reports the first man started a fire in the carport to get warm.
When the fire got out of control, a second worker used an excavator to knock down the carport, but the fire had spread to a tree, which explains why the workers cut down the 120-foot Douglas fir, causing it to crash on the house they were fixing. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

|I'm pretty sure I took this on the first day. I always try to get a pic of the big sign every year. This year they changed it and I have to say I like the old one better....oh well.
Please kindly ignore my face! I look like a massive derp! XD But of course I have to get a pic with my favorite Riku cosplayer! XD Just like last year when I first met him!
And guess what! I still don't know his name! Not sure I'll ever find out since I only see him at AX and talk to him for like 5 minutes if that. Haha!
As usual, this is the only pic I have of my Xion cosplay. I never take pics of myself when I cosplay. Sometimes I take a selfie or 2 when I'm sitting around, but that's rare.
But yeah, I wanted to take a pic with him like I did last year, cuz this year I actually had a KH cosplay, and someone handed him their keyblade so this happened. It's pretty cool! And I definitely look a ton better than I did last year aside from the fact that I can't ever seem to not make a stupid face in pics! XD I really wish I had gotten a way to stay in touch with him like I meant to. I told myself last year that I'd see if I could this year...but I didn't really get a chance cuz of reasons... I'd love to find him somehow, but I don't wanna seem like a creep so I don't know how. *cries forever*
|Hey! I'm Kemet! ^_^ I like to draw anime/manga style pics. I also like the Zelda games, Pokemon games and I love Kingdom Hearts and FFVII. I'm also a huge anime fan, although I don't actually watch much anime. I just really love the style. I'm a cosplayer and I always have a lot of fun making my cosplays, even if they usually piss me off a million times before they're done, and I start to hate the character. I tend to just kinda wing it cuz half the time I don't know what I'm doing!

Terrific hat
Review by Kegs
Quality Overall Style Value
My husband was looking for an all purpose hat to shield his face from the sun. That is tough as he is in the sun all day. He wanted something flexible and cool. he loves it. He even wears it in the lake. It holds the shape, but looks comfortably worn. This one is a winner.

"Ironically, I had hurt the Democrats by both my victories and my defeats. The loss of health care and the passage of NAFTA demoralized many of our base voters and depressed turnout." —Bill Clinton, in his memoir

"When a complaint is filed with the state Department of Human Rights, it is very much the town's business," Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed said. "The town's insurance covers your program and you play on town fields - this board has every right to be concerned about this matter."
Goodspeed said that the matter is similar to measures designed to segregate the races.
Don Ellsworth said he was frustrated over the league's prohibition, citing his daughter's long-standing interest in baseball. "The kid just wants to play ball - I can't see the problem with that," Don Ellsworth said.
But Olesheski countered that allowing her to play baseball may be to the detriment of Emma and others.
"They aren't doing her any favors," he said. "From here on out if a girl wants to play baseball, so be it - it will be really too bad if this causes many other girls to play baseball and we can't field softball teams."
Olesheski said that he questions the town's commitment to his organization and that if the softball program folds, the JYAI will seek reimbursement of funds spent on uniforms.
Currently, the JYAI softball league is comprised of two teams with 28 girls between them, six of whom played baseball last season.
For Emma, the matter is simple.
"I just can't wait to play third (base) again," she said.

Thread: Colo4 Service Entrance 2 issue

Colo4 Service Entrance 2 issue
There has been an issue affecting one of our 6 service entrances. The actual ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) is having an issue and all vendors are on site. Unfortunately, this is affecting service entrance 2 in the 3000 Irving facility so it is affecting a lot of the customers that have been here the longest.
The other entrance in 3000 is still up and working fine as well as the 4 entrances in 3004. Customers utilizing A/B should have access to their secondary link. It does appear that some customers were affected by a switch that had a failure in 3000. That has been addressed and should be up now.
This is not related to the PDU maintenance we had in 3004 last night. Separate building, service entrance, UPS, PDU, etc.
We will be updating customers as we get information from our vendors so that they know the estimated time for the outage. Once this has been resolved we also distribute a detailed RFO to those affected.
Our electrical contractors, UPS maintenance team and generator contractor are all on-site and working to determine what the best course of action is to get this back up.0

Honestly, this is just not acceptable. A lot of your customers will be losing their customers.
- Whatever happened to proper redundancy and failover?
- How can you possibly compensate your customers for losing their customers?
- I am going to ask my provider why they go with you when you don't have a proper plan in place.

I think this is awful, I really do, not the outage, but how some people are freaking out and throwing Colo4 under the bus. If this happened every year, I'd understand... but this is a very, very freak sort of thing that no one is immune from. Google, Amazon, companies with budgets 1000x larger than Colo4 suffer outages of varying degrees, even power outages... there is nothing that is guaranteed in this world.0

Sure, redundancy is completely necessary. How can we trust that tomorrow there will be no problem with other equipment that has no redundancy.
And about ETA to fix this issue?0

This is not acceptable. They should have backup systems. I thought that was standard practice for hosts and data centers.

But as far as i understand there IS redundancy. Customers who chose to be connected to both power feed A and power feed B are not affected. Those who chose to be connected to only one power feed (i.e. chose no redundancy) are affected.0

Even if you're eligible for a free service such as an immunization from a local health department, that doesn't mean you can take advantage of the opportunity. If you're homeless or unemployed, having a car or scraping enough money together for gas can be a challenge.
That's one reason why Medicine in Motion came to be. A 34-foot Winnebago loaded with doctors, nurses and supplies brings medical care to those unable to get to treatment on their own.
"We're focused on removing barriers, logistical barriers, for folks who are at the lowest points of their lives and trying to care for their families," said Dr. David Ehrenberger, Avista Adventist Hospital's chief medical officer. Avista Adventist Foundation is one of several organizations that has received funding through Denver Post Charities Season to Share.
Photos: Scenes of the Season
Ehrenberger began Medicine in Motion in 2007. Already a fixture in Denver, Ehrenberger and Avista were looking to expand the operation to the northern suburbs. He partnered with the Growing Home in Westminster, a community-based shelter for families with children.
Twice monthly, the van goes out to the facility and over four hours treats program members, providing services from X-rays to lab work to writing prescriptions, all at no cost to the patients.
If a patient is seen and requires follow-up care in between visits from the van, that's also arranged.
Operating from a yearly budget of $25,000 sometimes presents challenges for the volunteer doctors and nurses. A CT scan, for example, can cost as much as $800. "It doesn't take many of them before you blow your budget," Ehrenberger said.
Even so, if the situation calls for it, the group will do whatever's necessary. Ehrenberger recalled one recent patient, a man with a beard that fell down to his thighs. When he parted the mane, the man revealed a thyroid goiter the size of a grapefruit.
"The only thing you could do is operate," Ehrenberger said. "But that requires operating-room time and testing and scanning, paying for other services like anesthesia."
In this case, each of those things was donated and help was provided. While most cases aren't as extreme, in these challenging economic times, the number of families in need of assistance is certainly growing. As a result, the Medicine in Motion RV will soon be adding Saturday service in an attempt to reach even more people.
"With the increasing number of homeless and people losing jobs, there's increasing demand," Ehrenberger said. "But this is certainly a rewarding experience for us."

Sri Lanka's National Airline to Upgrade Its Fleet
Sri Lanka's national airline to upgrade its fleet
COLOMBO, July 22 (Xinhua) — Sri Lanka's national carrier SriLankan Airlines is to upgrade its fleet by acquiring more aircraft, an airline statement said here Tuesday.
"The airline is moving ahead with its plans for the future which include acquiring four more Airbus A320 aircraft to replace four ageing aircraft in the fleet by the end of 2008," said the statement.
The airline currently has a fleet of 14 aircraft, all are Airbus A320s, 330s and 340s.
The Sri Lankan government took back the management of the airline in April from Emirates airlines who held a ten-year management contract.
In a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam rebel attack in July 2001, the airline had lost half of its fleet.
The rebels have been fighting for a separate state for the minority Tamil community in the island's Northern and Eastern Provinces since 1983.

Search Engines for Genealogical ResearchEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Although Google is the most widely-known and comprehensive search engines for locating genealogical information at present, many other search engines are also useful. The fierce market competition between the better-known search engines should only serve to make genealogical research easier.
Many websites are added each day to the Internet. If you have searched for information on an ancestor more than 60 days previously, it is worth searching again. The information changes at an amazing rate on the Internet. Websites with frequent changes often get updated in the search engines daily, if not every week or two.
A search engine 'crawls' or 'spiders' the web based on what is already there. If a new link is added to a website somewhere, and it is not already in the search engine's database of sites it searches, the search engine will go to that link and 'spider' it for its contents and add the page or entire site to its database, index its contents, and make that site's contents available for searching by way of the search engine. This can happen anywhere from once a month to daily depending upon how frequently that site is updated.
No two search engines contain the exact same database. Any one search engine may contain listings of sites that another search engine has missed. So if you do not find an ancestor in one search engine, try another, or better yet, try a compiled search engine, or 'metacrawler'.

So people here bash OOT3D for being a remake, yet praise P4G

^This. While I didn't like the Zelda game (I am not a big fan of action RPG hybrids), but it was good and the 3D effect was top notch. I can't wait to play P4G and quite upset that I won't have it before next week (shipping from NewEgg).

Because i said oot is a good game and said oot3d is a good port even with the graphic overhaul which i admit i was wrong about has only updated graphics and boss rush being new to it? Also i own all current gen console preffer the pc to consoles and am an atlus or pc fanboy not sony i find sony to be bumbling idiots. Also last i played oot was on an emulator with upgraded textures and AA so it didn't seem like much of an upgrade to me but again i admit i was wrong. So please point out to me anywhere i said oot3d was bad or said p4g was a better game?
If its elitist to want decent performance, accountability, and class knowledge from the people you play with... SIGN ME UP!
Find a link of me bashing OOT3D? Because until you do I can praise P4G all I want.
In case you don't understand, the Internet is not one person, so unless you find the same people being pro one and against the other, you have no point.
I like OoT3D for the boss rush mode. N64 version is still better though because the 3DS version is too bright and cheery.

Btw, there's absolutely no texture pack/emulator on the PC that can make the original OoT look as good as the 3DS' remake or even close. Get over yourself fanboy
Your ignorance is hilarious.
Emulators have been able to do this much earlier than the 3DS version. While the models themselves aren't improved, texture packs and enhanced model rendering can make it look much better than the 3DS. In 1920x1080 widescreen no less, which the 3DS will never do.

Pics are mine from Majora's Mask but there's even better ones for OoT.
3DS version is a port of an already great game, P4G is an enhanced port making a great game better.

I would imagine that you may be seeing the effect of a lot of techology in one handheld unit. I think that the electronic compass in the Garmin is more suited to overland "Orienteering" than precise marine navigation.
The price of a good fluxgate comapass for one of the modern integrated navigation/information systems is more than the entire 76S! I have a nice Autohelm/Raytheon hand bearing digital compass that is very accurate but was about $150 or so. Add on all the features of the 76S and, well, they had to scrimp somewhere!
Even my two trusty 7" Danforth Constellations, zeroed to within a degree of each other, move whenever ANY ferrous metal or electronic device comes near them.
Just remember that if you turn off your 76S compass, the resulted calculated heading will be over the ground, which means with a beam current, you may be off 10 - 20deg from your magnetic heading. And if you are not moving, you won''t get any heading reading at all.

33. How to Adjust a Threadless Headset
Learn how to check the adjustment of a threadless (Aheadset) and align the handlebars.
Learn how to check the adjustment of a threadless (Aheadset) and align the handlebars.
In today's tutorial, we'll learn how to adjust a threadless headset, otherwise known as an 'Aheadset. For this job, you'll need either a 5mm or a 6mm allen key, depending on your stem.
To loosen the stem, simply turn the allen key on top counter-clockwise a few turns. Don't remove it completely. Then loosen the two bolts on the side. Now your stem should turn freely.
To check if the headset is tight, lift the front of the bike off the ground. The handlebar should rotate freely and fall to one side or the other. If it doesn't, you'll have to loosen the top bolt a little bit and try it again.
To check for play, hold the front brake, place one hand on your headset, and rock the bike forward and backward. If the headset is loose you'll feel it, and you'll have to tighten the top bolt a little bit.
Once the adjustment is set, check the alignment. I find it easiest to line up the stem with the front wheel while you're sitting on the bike. Once the handlebar is straight, tighten the two stem bolts and check the adjustment again just to be sure.
I'm installing a new RST fork on my Schwinn Sidewinder, and I ran into a few problems today.
Steerer tubes on these forks are interchangeable, meaning that the tube is sold seprately, and installed by the customer.I chose a 160mm threaded steerer tube, because I wanted to keep the existing headset. I installed the steerer tube today without any problem, but when I went to put the new fork on the bike, I noticed two things: first that the new steerer is longer than the old one, and secondly that the crown race from the old fork doesn't seem to fit. The tube is mounted all the way onto the... Read more >>

Hi Everyone.

I have an older dual suspension mountain bike, a giant ATX900. It has a weird head tube inside diameter of 42mm, which puts it somewhere in between the old 1 1/4" standard and the 1 1/2" standard.
Anyone know what type of head set was intended for this diameter head tube?

Thread: "Listen all you New Yorkers" Met
May 28th, 2009 #1
"Listen all you New Yorkers" Met
Always feels good to crib a cribbed Beastie line
I had to say this somewhere, because I just got back from the city after floor camping at my best friend's place in Brooklyn for like 2 weeks: I am so jealous of you guys who can just hop on that Subway and catch the Met whenever you want to.
I think I could live on the first floor of that place for the rest of my life and probably never get bored. They had ancient statuary and amphora, suites of armor, facsimiles of wall paintings etc. that I had stared at in monographs and folios, black and white reproductions and the like, back when I was in school, and that I thought I'd never actually see in my lifetime. And they were all on display right there in the open, so close you could reach out and touch them. Just rooms and rooms full of the stuff. It was easily the most breathtaking collection I've ever seen under a single roof. I'm serious man, I started getting really emotional just walking around, looking at people sketching and observing, everyone with these huge smiles, or looks of intense concentration, or just wide eyed amazement. And then I took the elevator to the second floor.
I don't know how to describe it. I just started weeping, it was so fucking beautiful. Gustave's Sphinx, which I've seen a thousand times before, but had never actually 'seen', and certainly I had never realized it was that large. It takes on a completely new meaning after you see the sphinxes on the first floor. The Courbets, Boldinis, and Sargents, everything in the European painting wing. The Tiepolo room, Cloisters so glorious -all the Flemish paintings, the Vermeers, the Rembrandts (oh the Rembrandts ! ... I thought you had to go to the low countries for that!) Durer prints, MB's studies for the Sibyl. It was just the most amazing home run museum experience I could have possible hoped for. I did a 3 day mission this time, but I'm sure I could have easily done that to a power of 10 and still not seen it all. Plus the medieval Pen and Ink room, and the Musical Instruments gallery were closed for reinstallation. It was a killer time though.
So if you live in the city, and you're not drawing right now, and you're bored… what the fuck's your excuse?
Because I live like 2000 miles away - and you can be damn sure, if I could hop on that L train again, drop $5 in a box, and take a trip to back ancient Egypt again, that's how I'd be spending my afternoon. The Neue was pretty cool too, but I was bummed that Alfred Kubin had already moved on. I was really hoping to check out the drawings. Did get to by a book and some postcards though.
One last thing. Of all the paintings I saw at the Met, Fillipino Lippi's Madonna had the greatest impact on me. I'm not sure why, but I just couldn't pull away from her. I stared at it for like 40 minutes. If anyone has a larger/cleaner copy of the image, by all means repost. I will love you for it.

I moved to CT from Maine to go to art school. My first experience with the Met was a school trip, and it was amazing. I was maybe still too young and inexperienced to fully comprehend the magnitude of amazing it was, but I easily spent 4-5 hours in there. The trip was a yearly thing, so I got to go with a bus load of other artists several more times, and it was always great, and each time I saw and understood more. Great paintings have so much more depth of color and can be far more subtle than you'll ever see in print.
A couple years later I went there again, but this time it was a trip with mostly non artists. This was a school trip arranged by my girlfriend's school, just a regular state college. What a different experience. College kids walking around not giving a shit about any of it. Since it was known amongst my girlfriend's friends that I was an artist, I had a ton of questions to field. Some of it was art history stuff (not my strongest point, but I had a lot of different information to offer than the art history majors that went). Some of it was more artistic and technical. I remember a few students looking at a large painting of a nude man. They were trying to figure out why the artist painted some parts of the body very red. They had some interesting "what is the artist trying to say" theories, until I told them it was much simpler. Those parts of the body ARE much redder. People are not one color over their entire body, and places where the skin tends to be thinner more blood vessels show through making the skin very red. It made me wonder how many of them had seen a naked body with the lights on, that wasn't in a magazine where everyone was tanned all over and airbrushed.
If you (or anyone) is in New York again make sure you visit the Society of Illustrators too. One the the coolest things I saw there was one of James Gurney's large Dinotopia paintings. As we all know, that man can paint, and in person it's even more impressive.

When Filipino boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao isn't hitting his opponents, he's hitting the high notes -- or at least trying to.
With two platinum albums under his belt, Pacquiao is a bona fide pop star in the Philippines, perhaps owing his success mostly to his popularity rather than his singing talent.
Pacquiao recently showed off his singing on late night American TV, offering his rendition of "Nothing Is Going to Change My Love for You" by Glenn Medeiros on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to a rousing ovation. Even Simon Cowell might be wary of belittling the musical talent of the welterweight champion of the world.
Pacquiao, 31, one of the most accomplished boxers in history, with a record seven titles in seven different weight classes, is too busy to worry if his singing isn't as good as his punching.
"Manny is a multi-tasker. He loves to stay busy," said Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach.
Singing isn't Pacquaio's only hobby outside the ring. He also acts. He's made seven films in the Philippines. His latest is an action film called "Wapakman."
"I play a super hero with a lot of powers," Pacquiao said. "It's kind of like Spider-Man mixed with Superman."
In the Philippines, Pacquiao's popularity is god-like. They say the crime rate drops when he fights because everyone is watching him on TV.
The shine even rubs off on Roach, a Boston guy with huge street cred in Manila.
"They say it's Manny, the president and then me -- the most popular people in the Philippines," Roach said.
Pacquiao is so popular and committed to his country that he is heading home after his next fight to run for Congress.
"In the Philippines, we need a leader that really wants to help the poor people," said Pacquiao, who lost his first bid for a congressional seat to a well-established incumbent in 2007. "I have experience being nothing, and I know how they feel."
Abandoned by this father, Pacquiao left home as a teenager because his mother didn't have enough money to feed him.
At first, boxing was just a way to eat. Now, after 55 professional fights, Pacquaio is the biggest star in a sport badly in need of new big stars.
Last year, Pacquiao racked in $35 million after earning $40 million the year before. In 2009, Forbes magazine ranked Pacquiao as the sixth-highest-paid athlete in the world.
The 5-foot-7, 150-pound southpaw, trains nearly every day at the Wildcard Boxing Gym in Los Angeles.
Before and after every training session, fans wait outside the gym just for a glimpse of the champ and perhaps an autograph or picture.
Inside the gym, Pacquiao's entourage and a gaggle of onlookers, often including a few celebrities, watch the "Pac Man" power through his grueling training sessions. Recent drop-ins include actors Jeremy Piven, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Duvall and Mickey Rourke, a former professional boxer himself.
Roach, 50, also a former professional fighter, has trained 26 world champions, including the likes of Mike Tyson and Oscar de la Hoya. He said Pacquiao is his best.
"His work ethic is way above anybody else. He's like a machine," Roach said. "It took us, like, eight to nine years to get to this point. The thing is, he knows the game now. He knows how to study opponents. He's well-rounded, not just a one-punch knockout artist like he was at the beginning."
Unlike Pacquiao, Roach doesn't have any hobbies -- just boxing.

Interesting results from today's dyno session. APR Stage 2 numbers are WAY down from the original post numbers, and Unitronic Stage 1+ is actually making more WHP (but less WTQ). :confused:
Point taken. Your dyno slot is at 10:30AM. :beer:
Bump. I will likely be updating this thread with more numbers and videos after this Saturday's dyno day.
No Tornado Red GTIs allowed, though. I broke the dyno last time. Too much power.
From a dig to 60mph probably. Any further or from a roll you are very wrong. :)
You are being tracked.

Holy balls, can't believe this thread is back... I've since modded my GTI a decent amount (picked tinted, FWIW), parted out, and traded it for something else.

I'm not sure it's that big of a deal.
1 psi per 16.67 degree F = ~.059 psi per degree F
1 psi per 12 degree F = ~.083 psi per degree F
So figure your average winter temp is 30...

Regarding water pumps, I had mine replaced 3 times in 25K miles. Twice was due to whining/whistling sounds, and once was because it failed and leaked all over my garage.

Welcome to the first issue of 2015 and the first issue published by Wolters Kluwer! This issue highlights the variety of practice that is cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy. First, we have a study examining the influence of pre-operative functional status on post-operative length of stay following open heart surgery. It is important for physical therapists to determine predictors of outcomes that are related to mobility, as few, if any other disciplines examine this aspect of patient care.
Teaching the next generation of physical therapists is also a big part of our identity as a Section. We have two papers examining teaching techniques: one a very high-tech simulation format and the other a low-tech model to illustrate a difficult concept. Together, these papers highlight creative use of equipment and facilities to improve student learning.
Case studies are also important ways to illustrate challenges and rewards of clinical practice. In this issue, we have a case of a patient on long-term mechanical ventilation who received physical therapy care in her home. The authors discuss how the ICF model can be applied to this situation to illustrate these challenges and opportunities for the patient to optimally function in her preferred environment.
I hope you find these articles to be thought-provoking and applicable to your research, teaching and clinical practice.
