Sylvan Springs Local Customs
Like everywhere I've ever been, gardeners love to share what they grow when they have plenty. I grew lots of tomatoes & summer squash and would share with a friend who had no garden space. And I find it's like this most everywhere I've been when someone is lucky enough to have space for a garden. Bill even likes to share in the "weed picking" ... it's like theropy he says.
Ha, I've picked plenty of weeds.
Having a garden is what I miss more than anything since we've been renting. Hopefully, that will change someday soon.Related to:

Need Gigaflops from GCC on P4
Anybody know how to configure GCC?
I've got SlackWare 8, which for stability reasons has been set up entirely using the '386 instruction set. I think they also have the GCC compiler set up to only generate 386 instructions.
Using this, I can get 0.7 billion double precision floating point operations per second, computing the inner product of two long vectors (on a 1.8GHz Pentium4). That's not bad, but I think I should be able to get more like 8.0 Gflops (10X), if I can invoke the SIMD/SSE2 capabilities of my Pentium 4. The GCC compiler is supposed to support this. I just want to do a little sub-atomic physics at home in my spare time.
I think I may need the -b MACHINE option, which in turn requires (I think?) a library configured for P4 instead of i386. I've tried -mcpu=pentium4 and -march=pentium4 and -msse2 compile options, with no effect. I haven't tried -mfpmath=sse.
Do I need to recompile some libraries for pentium4? Do I need to set up GCC as if it's doing a cross-compile (for a different platform)? Am I even asking the right questions?

Couple tagged as NPA leaders now detained in Samar
TACLOBAN CITY—An alleged leader of the New People's Army (NPA) and his wife are now detained at the provincial jail in Catbalogan City, Samar, following their arrest in Metro Manila last week.
Capt. Amado Gutierrez, spokesperson of the 8th Infantry Division based in Catbalogan, said that Juan Paolo Rodrigo Versoza and his wife, Grace, arrived in Catbalogan on July 1 at 9 a.m.
The couple was arrested by the Catbalogan police and soldiers of the 8th ID in their alleged hideout in Barangay (village) Fortuna, Marikina City, on June 28.
The arrest of Versoza, 28, and his wife, Grace, 25, was made on the basis of a warrant issued by Catbalogan Regional Trial Court Branch 28 Judge Esteban de la Peña for illegal possession of explosives, robbery and homicide.
However, the police and military could not give details of the case filed against the Versoza couple.
Gutierrez said that the arrest of the Versoza couple was a "big blow" to the NPA.

Boudreau said "it's a fair assessment" that Selanne will start the season at his usual second-line spot on right wing and that it is his job to lose. The two raised the topic of the youngsters pushing the NHL's oldest active player.
"It's something that he hasn't had before," Boudreau said. "He's always been the guy. Now he knows these young guys are right on his heels. My expectations are for him to be great this year. I'm really looking forward to see him play.
"There was never a problem or anything. I just told him how much I respect him and I'm going to give him every chance in the world."
Selanne said he never asked Boudreau for any promises in terms of ice time, something that he quietly chafed at when his minutes decreased over the course of last season.
"Obviously we have a great group of young guys coming," the winger said. "And getting those guys in, I didn't want a situation where they would push them in no matter what happens. It's a good competition here right now and everybody has to earn their ice time and their power-play (time).
"I know I can do it. I just need to be on the same page with the coach. That's what really happened. I'm very happy about it."
Asked directly if he wanted Selanne back on his team, Boudreau emphatically said, "Yes. Absolutely." The coach went on to say that he understood his winger's concerns before a commitment was made.
"He's an icon," Boudreau said. "He's one of the greatest players to ever play the game. The last thing I ever wanted to do was embarrass him. I think I understood where he was coming from and his mindset.
"You just want to know what your role is and where you fit in. He's not coming back to play just for the heck of it because he's got nothing to do. He still has the passion and the desire to be the best player."
Defenseman Luca Sbisa had said previously that he was "99 percent sure" Selanne would return and teammate Cam Fowler wasn't surprised by the news Friday.
"It's definitely exciting," Fowler said. "Not just for me but for everybody. Just to have him back really means a lot as a team. For some reason, I kind of had a feeling that he wasn't going to stop yet.
"And when I found out he was training and skating really hard, I just knew they were going to make it happen."
The winger is set to go out on a high note with what he hopes is a motivated team that finished second in the Western Conference last season but is stinging from a first-round upset loss to Detroit.
It will be Selanne's ninth consecutive season with the Ducks after signing back with them in 2005 following the NHL lockout. The franchise's all-time leading scorer has 223 goals during that time after turning 35.
"We are so pleased that Teemu will end his career where he belongs," Murray said.

Housing Authority Receives Extension on Condo Loan
Below, a comparison of how prices have changed for similar Harborside units sold or for sale since the complex opened in October 2007. Approximately half of the 78 units at 320 and 360 Washington Avenue were sold prior to the Harborside's opening. Sales records are from the Kitsap County Assessor, listing prices are taken from Prudential NW Real Estate listings.
April 2007 (sold):
Fourth-floor, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,298 square feet: $608,900
August 2007 (sold):
Fifth-floor, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,321 square feet: $558,775
Currently (listed):
Fourth-floor, 2 bedroom, 1.75 bath, 1,239 square feet: $550,000
Overall listings:
2007 sales: $325,790 to $730,909. None sold at over $1 million.
Aug. 1, 2008: $345,000 to $1.6 million. Four of the units were listed above $1 million.
Sept 16, 2008: $310,500 to $1.15 million. Three of the units are now listed above $1 million.
Bremerton's community renewal agency has been granted more time to pay off a construction loan for the Harborside Condominiums.
The remaining $4.9 million on a $25 million loan was due in July. Bank of America recently gave the Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority an extra six months to pay the first $1 million and a year for the remainder, Sarah Lee, the housing group's deputy executive director, said Tuesday.
"This is not that unusual," Lee said. "You figure out when you think a construction loan is going to be paid off and sometimes you miss that guess."
Thirty-four of the 78 units along the Bremerton waterfront were sold, with the proceeds satisfying most of the loan, before a souring economy stifled offers. At the neighboring condominium complex that was built at the same time, The 400, 28 units in the 70-unit facility were offered but no offers met the reserve bid at the May auction. Owners did enter negotiations on 18 of those offers.
To revive interest in the Harborside, now the housing authority has lowered condo prices and is offering incentive packages, Lee said.
The list price on the smallest home — a one-bedroom, one-bathroom, 800-square-foot unit — was cut from $345,000 in early August to $310,500 today. A 2,642-square-foot unit with three bedrooms and 2 ½ baths dropped from $1.6 million to $1.15 million. Incentives now include such amenities as boat moorage and YMCA memberships, Lee said.
Lee lauded Bank of America as an excellent partner, saying, "A lot of downtown Bremerton has been turned around because of Bank of America."
Should the housing authority default on the debt, Kitsap County would be responsible for it because in 2005 it agreed to be in a junior position on the loan. The county is also backing up $22.2 million in bonds that were issued to pay for the project, which will come due next fall.
"We're spending a lot of time on this issue right now because I think we're concerned that it will ripple down to the county if it isn't managed at the housing authority level," county Commissioner Steve Bauer said during a candidate forum Tuesday morning.
Bauer, a housing board member, later participated in a housing authority meeting that ran more than an hour late because of a long executive session regarding property sales and litigation.
Lee said she couldn't comment about whether the condos were part of the conversation.
The Kitsap Transit Board of Commissioners meeting, which was scheduled to follow the housing authority's, was delayed because the boards have six common members and the transit meeting couldn't start without a quorum.
The housing authority's activities can be confusing because it's playing two roles — providing affordable housing for Kitsap County while serving as the community renewal agency for Bremerton, at the city's request. The condos were built to help revitalize the city, not as affordable housing. Bremerton Housing Authority is responsible for affordable housing in the city.

Vidoe on Stringing Machine
Can someone please link me to a good video explaining how to use a manual crank stringing machine(Eagnas). I checked all over youtube and google.vidoe, but most of the site uses an eletronic machine or a manual crank video with no audio intructions (music in the background/fast mode/poor quality).
You're right, there aren't any videos on Lock-out or Crank machines. Most of the videos on YouTube are on Electric and Drop Weight machines. Though it's pretty straight forward on how to use a crank.
I could do that but I don't think it is necesary. If you do I will. Some cranks have a diablo in front of them and some don't if you have a diablo first loop the string over and around the diablo and through the gripper. Then you need to either pull the string at an angle or push the gripper up on the string with your thumb. Then rotate the crank to apply tension. To release tensioin hold the crank while you push the lever that popped out of the gripper back into the catch. If that does not make sense and you need a video I can do it just let me know.
First I have to have a racket though and the season is slow right now as most people in my area are near the end of ALTA season and don't normall change strings unless they break them.
Irvin: If you could make a video that would be wonderful. I would like to learn how to use a crank machine properly.
String ATW with crank / lockout
Here is the video.
Very cool video Irvin, thanks for taking the time to make it and post it.
You are welcome can't say much for the quality of the video though.
Though a great video, it's a bit confusing to an unexperienced stringer.
Irvin, doesn't your back hurt from the turntable being too low?
My turntable is a little over 42" high and my back does not bother me at all. Maybe it is the angle that just makes it look low.
Would it have been better if I got a little closer to the crank tensioner and just explained how to use the crank and forget "stringing a racket?"
I find the perfect height is the stringbed level with my elbows. I think the OP needs to know the mechanics of how to operate the crank. You rarely see a video of that, because it's pretty straight forward, but to the challenged it's a mystery.
He posted in "String and Stringing" forum with a similar request. I don't know if he's figured it out yet.
Thanks I will work on another video today but I have lots to do today and may not get to it.
At the begining of your video, where you show how to operate the crank, that the part the OP needs to know. The rest can be found in the other videos.
We take tensioning for granted or a given, but to the un-experienced it not that obvious. Kinda like driving a stick shift (manual tansmission) for the first time.
Here is another video on how to use the lockout tensioner. I filmed the part when you set the tension on the side but did not include it in the video. Sorry about that.
Irvin, great vids. Thanks for sharing. It's cool putting a voice to the poster.
Great stuff!
Irvin, thanks for the the time & effort put into the instructional vids. & thx for sharing, too!
Nice Irv. That should be exactly what the OP was looking for.
I think both videos are really good instructional videos on how to use a crank machine, thanks Irvin.
EDIT: Also, I think it is the first done with a 6004.
Thanks guys

About the Speakers
Dean Kamen
Dean Kamen is an inventor, an entrepreneur, and a tireless advocate for science and technology. His roles as inventor and advocate are intertwined — his own passion for technology and its practical uses has driven his personal determination to spread the word about technology's virtues and by so doing to change the culture of the United States.
As an inventor, he holds more than 440 U.S. and foreign patents, many of them for innovative medical devices that have expanded the frontiers of health care worldwide. While still a college undergraduate, he invented the first wearable infusion pump, which rapidly gained acceptance from such diverse medical specialties as chemotherapy, neonatology, and endocrinology. In 1976, he founded his first medical device company, AutoSyringe, Inc., to manufacture and market the pumps. At age 30, he sold that company to Baxter Healthcare Corporation. By then, he had added a number of other infusion devices, including the first wearable insulin pump for diabetics.
Following the sale of AutoSyringe, Inc., he founded DEKA Research & Development Corporation to develop internally generated inventions as well as to provide research and development for major corporate clients. Kamen led DEKA's development of the HomeChoice(TM) peritoneal dialysis system for Baxter International Inc. The HomeChoice(TM) system allows patients to be dialyzed in the privacy and comfort of their home and quickly became the worldwide market leader. Kamen also led the development of technology to improve slide preparation for the CYTYC (now Hologic Inc.) ThinPrep® Pap Test. Kamen-led DEKA teams have also developed critical components of the UVAR(TM) XTS(TM) System, an extracorporeal photophereisis device marketed by Therakos, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, for treatment of T-Cell lymphoma. An advanced prosthetic arm in development for DARPA should advance the quality of life for returning injured soldiers. Other notable developments include the Hydroflex(TM) surgical irrigation pump for C.R. Bard, the Crown(TM) stent, an improvement to the original Palmaz-Schatz stent, for Johnson & Johnson, the iBOT(TM) mobility device, and the Segway® Human Transporter.
Kamen has received many awards for his efforts. Notably, Kamen was awarded the National Medal of Technology in 2000. Presented by President Clinton, this award was in recognition for inventions that have advanced medical care worldwide, and for innovative and imaginative leadership in awakening America to the excitement of science and technology. Kamen was also awarded the Lemelson-MIT Prize in 2002, and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in May 2005.
In addition to DEKA, one of Dean's proudest accomplishments is founding FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use and enjoy science and technology. Founded in 1989, this year FIRST will serve more than 250,000 young people, ages 6 to 18, in more than 50 countries around the globe. High-school-aged participants are eligible to apply for more than $14 million in scholarships from leading colleges, universities, and corporations. Studies have shown that FIRST alumni are highly motivated to pursue careers in science and engineering, thus fulfilling Dean's goal of inspiring the next generation of technological leaders.

Welcome to the United States (U.S.) Department of the Navy (Navy) official website for the Northwest Training and Testing (NWTT) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (OEIS). This website is intended to provide the public and other interested entities with an understanding of the Navy's proposal, the environmental resources to be reviewed in the NWTT EIS/OEIS, the importance of accommodating required training levels and maintaining of military readiness, and how the public can be involved in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. In addition, this website contains information on how the Navy is employing protective measures to reduce environmental effects from military training and testing activities.
NWTT Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS
The Supplement to the NWTT Draft EIS/OEIS is available for review. This Supplement focuses on substantial changes to the Proposed Action due to updated training requirements and significant new information relevant to environmental concerns per 40 Code of Federal Regulations § 1502.9.
Public Meetings
The Navy held four public meetings to inform the public about the Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS and potential environmental impacts, and to provide an additional opportunity for the public to comment on the adequacy and accuracy of the analysis in the Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS. The public meetings included an open house information session, during which time EIS team representatives were available to provide information, answer questions, and accept comments on the Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS.
Commenting on the Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS
The public review and comment period ended on February 2, 2015. The Navy is now reviewing the comments made and will address all of the comments in the Final EIS/OEIS, due to be released in summer 2015.
All public comments received during the Draft EIS/OEIS comment period (January 24, 2014, through April 15, 2014) are still valid and are being considered in the Final EIS/OEIS for this action. No decision will be made to implement any alternative in the NWTT Study Area until the NEPA process is complete and a Record of Decision is signed by the DoN.

Swiss develop new form of knee surgery
A Swiss medical team says its technique for treating torn anterior cruciate ligaments in the knee provides quicker healing and more stability.
A torn anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, most often is treated by grafting a tendon from another part of the body. Replacement tendons, however, are never as good as the original ACL, which acts like an antenna and collects information about where the knee is about to move, Dr. Stefan Eggli of Bern University Hospital said.
Eglli's technique involves helping the patient's own ACL grow back by stabilizing the knee with a spring that is placed inside a small screw in the shinbone. The mechanism stabilizes the torn ligament at the proper position for it to heal, the hospital said in a release Saturday.
You can still move around and walk normally and with this implant the knee is not unstable anymore, Eggli explained.
Healing of the ACL is boosted by clotting some of the patient's blood and placing it around the injured ACL, he said.

January 31-June 21, 2015
The Carlos Museum hosts a major exhibition from the National Museum of African Art at the Smithsonian entitled African Cosmos: Stellar Arts, the first major exhibition exploring the historical legacy of African cultural astronomy and its intersection with traditional and contemporary African arts. Featuring more than seventy outstanding works of art from throughout the African continent, African Cosmos considers how the sun, moon, stars, and celestial phenomena such as lightning and rainbows have served as sources of inspiration in the creation of African art from ancient times to the present. The African Cosmos exhibition demonstrates that observations of the heavens are part of the knowledge that informs origin stories, artistic expression, and ritual practice in African cultures. Standing at the core of creation myths and the foundation of moral values, celestial bodies are often accorded sacred capacities and are part of the "cosmological map" that allows humans to chart their course through life. A wide array of programming for adults, kids, and families have been planned in conjunction with African Cosmos. Program Brochure: View/Download
African Cosmos showcases outstanding works of art that illuminate Africa's contributions to the science and practice of astronomy. African interest in and observation of the cosmos date back as far as the stone circle and megaliths of Nabta Playa, a site in southern Egypt dating to the 5th millennium B.C. that has been interpreted as one of the world's earliest archeoastronomical devices marking star alignments and the summer solstice. In African Cosmos, selected ancient Egyptian and Nubian works of art frame the topic historically, demonstrating Africa's early engagement with celestial observations and its foundational place in visual arts and religion. The exhibition also includes 19th - and 20th - century works of traditional African art that illustrate the enduring legacy of astronomical knowledge and its use by artists as a rich source of metaphor. Examples include Dogon (Mali) sculptures and masks that connect earth and sky in ritual reenactments of creation; a Yoruba (Nigeria) sculpture honoring Shango, the thunder deity; a Bamana (Mali) antelope crestpiece with an open-work mane that suggests the sun's path through the sky each day as metaphor for the mythic origins of agriculture; and the drawing of a Kongo cosmogram in Haiti depicting the four moments of the sun, a symbol for the cycle of human life. The exhibition also includes works by African contemporary artists who draw on the cosmos for inspiration.
Major sponsorship for "African Cosmos: Stellar Arts" is provided by the government of the Republic of South Africa and South Africa's Department of Science and Technology. Additional support is from BET Networks, Stuart Bohart and family, Brand South Africa, Credit Suisse, South African Airways, South African Airways Cargo and the Embassy of South Africa in Washington, D.C.
In Atlanta, "African Stories: Stellar Arts" is part of Emory University's "Creation Stories Project," which has been made possible by generous grants from the Thalia N. and Chris M. Carlos Foundation, Inc.; the Thalia and Michael C. Carlos Foundation, Inc.; the Massey Charitable Trust; and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Cool. By the way, will they be blacking out (or "modifying") parts of the sky that contain things we're not supposed to see?
And what about Google OrbitView for virtual flights in and out of the satellites (and debris) around the earth... or Google CanalView for Mars? This could be a big funding source for NASA...
Hey Doc. I work on Maps and sometimes debug weird customer-reported problems like this.
Here's The Real Mikes three step guide to diagnosing and fixing Google Maps problems:
To be honest, from your description it sounds like the first step will yield the most fruit - I include the other two for completeness (if people see Maps load just fine but you don't see the roadmap or satellite images themselves, those two steps can help). Probably your cache has corrupted somehow, either that or some of the files Maps needs aren't loading. If you can't figure it out and know how, I'd suggest watching what happens with the Live HTTP Headers extension.
user set
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)
I deleted the value and (right-clicked to) reset it, restarted Firefox, and all was well
Deleting cache and cookies didn't change anything. I used (firefox -ProfileManager) to create a test profile, which worked OK with maps.google.com . So I progressively copied directories files from my failing profile to replace their counter
and deleted it using the about:prefs page GUI in my failing profile

"Design is how it works." - Steve Jobs
Design thinking and user experience are rising forces in Web and software development. UX designers have skills, not roles. So how do we win with user experience here at the iHub?
Starting next week, we'll begin a weekly design workshop and discussion, facilitated by designers Tosh and David, to explore what design thinking means here in Africa. How do we get the entire community, everybody, on board with user experience design? Let's start a dialogue sooner rather than later about how designers conduct research and user testing to improve the overall user experience.
Over the course of three weeks, sessions will explore how to conduct design research, the definitions and meanings behind experience design and the principles underlying service design. We seek to demystify concepts such as information architecture and introduce the community to UX research in preparations for the opening of UX Research Lab come June
The sessions are open to 10-15 individuals passionate about design who seek to increase their knowledge about subjects such as user experience, information architecture, and service design. We will begin with research and end up by sharing models and methodologies.
The sessions are scheduled every Monday for the next three weeks beginning 23rd April 2012. The sessions will begin at 5.30 pm at iHub Research.

Immigration Status Affects Educational Achievement
Mexican American mothers' formal immigration status affects the educational achievement of their children and even their grandchildren, according to a study written by Penn State and University of California, Irvine, sociologists and released by the US2010 Project at Brown University. Based on a large-scale survey of second-generation Mexican young adults in Los Angeles, the study finds that those whose mothers were authorized immigrants or U.S. citizens averaged more than two years more schooling than those whose mothers entered the country illegally. The researchers estimate that more than a third of the education gap between third-generation Mexicans and native whites is attributable to the legacy effects of grandparents' unauthorized status.
"The fact that Mexican-origin children appear to fall behind most of the rest of the population in terms of educational attainment has long been a concern of researchers and policy-makers," said James Bachmeier, research associate, Population Research Institute, Penn State. "This report indicates that this derives in large part from the fact that many of these children are raised in families in which one or both parents lack legal status." This study and future studies may help guide the national debate on immigration reform, said Bachmeier, who worked with Jennifer Van Hook, director of Population Research Institute and professor of sociology and demography, and Mark Leach, former assistant professor of rural sociology and demography, both of Penn State.
"The extent to which parental legal status shapes the opportunities of U.S.-born children warrants more attention in the future, especially as Congress discusses comprehensive immigration reform," said Bachmeier.
According to the study, legalization may help the children and even grandchildren of immigrants increase their educational attainment.
"The implication of our findings is that clear pathways to legalization can boost Mexican American educational attainment even as late as the third generation," said Frank D. Bean, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine. "Legislation providing the possibility of entry into full societal membership helps not only the immigrants themselves but also their children and their children's children."
The study looked closely at the trajectories of parental immigration status. In 10 percent of cases, the mother was U.S.-born but married to an immigrant spouse, and about 44 percent entered the country legally. It is in comparison to the children of these mothers that the researchers found a disadvantage for those whose mothers were unauthorized immigrants — about one third of mothers.
"There are nearly 4 million children of Mexican immigrants living in this country, most of them born here," said Bean. "At present, with few pathways for their parents' legalization, they live too long in the shadows. Because America's future labor force depends so heavily on the children of immigrants, we all have a stake in their progress."

Fibre-optic cable laid from Venezuela will make Cuba's connection speed 3,000 times faster and boost its economy.
Cuba is set to join the high-speed broadband era with an undersea fibre-optic cable laid from Venezuela, bringing the promise of speedy internet to one of the world's least connected countries.
A specialised ship sailed from Camuri beach, near the Venezuelan port of La Guaria, at the weekend, trailing the cable from buoys on the start of a 1,600-km journey across the Caribbean sea.
Venezuelan and Cuban officials hailed the project as a blow to the United States' embargo on the island. It will make Cuba's connection speed 3,000 times faster and modernise its economy.
"This means a giant step for the independence and sovereignty of our people," Rogelio Polanco, Cuba's Ambassador to Caracas, said at a ceremony in tropical sunshine.
The ship, Ile de Batz, owned by the French company Alcatel-Lucent, will lay the cable at depths of up to 5,800 metres and is expected to reach eastern Cuba by February 8. Cuba's government said the cable should be in use by June or July.
Cuba has some censorship restrictions but the impact could be profound. The country has just 14.2 Internet users per 100 people, the western hemisphere's lowest ratio, with access largely restricted to government offices, universities, foreign companies and tourist hotels.
The 50-year-old U.S. embargo prevented Cuba tapping into Caribbean fibre-optic cables, forcing it to rely on a slow satellite link of just 379 megabits per second.
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, Havana's closest ally, funded the $70-million cable and named it Alba-1, after the region's Caracas-led leftwing alliance. Improved communication is necessary to effect "historic, political and cultural change", said Ricardo Menendez, Venezuela's Science, Technology and Industry Minister.
The cable should boost President Raul Castro's drive to modernise Cuba's centrally planned economy and make state enterprises slimmer and more efficient. About 500,000 state workers will lose their jobs this year. In addition to broadband, the cable will let Cuba's telephone system handle millions of calls at once. It will be extended to Jamaica next year.
Cuban officials said the priority would be improving communications for those who already had access to the island's intranet, a government-controlled version of the Internet. Broadband would mean higher quality communication but not necessarily "broader" communication, said the communist daily newspaper Granma, dampening hopes of an information explosion.
The recent lifting of a ban on mobile phones and personal computers means more information is bypassing state channels, but high costs and state monitoring may have limited the impact.

Doc Rivers: 'We're in no rush' to change the roster
|11.29.12 at 10:24 pm ET
WALTHAM — Yes, things are not great right now. Yes, there are big questions about the Celtics' ability to rebound and handle themselves in the paint. And yes, they just got manhandled by the Nets on the parquet.
But Doc RIvers said Thursday that he and Celtics basketball operations chief Danny Ainge aren't about to give up on this group quite yet, though if a player or two is out there that can help they'd consider everything and anything.
"If there somebody out there, we're obviously going to bring them in," Rivers said. "But we're in no rush. We're not going to overreact to the way we're playing. We're not playing well. Let's not overreact to it by trading the team, or trading guys. Let's see if we can get it right first."
The name that comes to mind is 34-year-old free agent Kenyon Martin, the 6-foot-9 power forward who played most recently for the Clippers last spring, helping them make a run in the playoffs.
Still, Rivers believes what he has right now can work.
"I've seen it," Rivers said. "I saw it in the Oklahoma game. It's in us but what I don't know about our team are we one of those teams that we can't be consistent. If we are one of those teams, then we do have to make changes because we have to be consistent."

Scarlett Pain Videos Favorite
Picture courtesy of
Tasty little porn starlet Scarlett Pain is one of the hottest alt-porn girls around. She has been in the business since 2007 and has appeared in more than 20 movies; even though she's not exactly a household name, the discriminating porn fan should know who she is. A Southern California native, this smoking hot redhead stands only 5'2" tall and weighs a mere 107 pounds, but she's not your typical blonde beach bunny porn star – she looks tough as nails, with a veritable kingdom of piercings including both nipples, tongue, clit, both nostrils and two in her lower lip, not to mention a panorama of tattoos, including a full sleeve on her left arm, a Jessica Rabbit on her calf, a pistol on her belly aimed directly at her pussy, and a pot leaf on her ankle. Scarlett, who appears regularly on websites as well as DVDs, has a beautifully curvy 34-26-36 figure and a perfect pair of natural C-cup tits.

Heya there! This is the first time I ever participate here. I've decided to start working on a portfolio for character design, so I'm sure these challenges will help me improve. I'm sure I won't be able to do them each week, but every now and then I'd really like to. ^^
I hope I can finish the illustration in time because I reeeeally started late, as you might notice. XD
Anyway, there go the sketches.

Hi all!
Cool topic and really nice entries =)
Here's my entry for Northern Hunter.
Let me know what you think!
April 13th, 2012 #100
Skadin, Bifur hunter of the Misty Mountains
Trying to make him a little more "weathered." Face was the victim of Wolverbear attack and exposure. Wears the skull of the beast with leather insole to protect the flesh which never healed correctly. Gonna have some shaman imbue the skull with some spirit sensor.
@JanJanger - love the pelts and that turban is very original.
@Einen - great developed style and expression of the face.
@JaninaG - Good line work, can't wait to see it colored
@NDread Reaper - The addition of the extra ravens works for me, and the details are coming along good, must have been a massive raven to leave behind a skull that big
@trolljack- Bark armor, never would've thought of that. Seems like an awful lot of meat to be turning their back.
comment more later but a general note: lot of these outfits seem "ceremonial" in essence more than functional for mobility and survivability. I enjoy the fantastic ideas as the next guy though : D
April 13th, 2012 #101
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll update further tomorrow!
krAtul: Looks good! #2 is definitely my favorite here.
bangalore_monkey: I like your style. Hope you'll make a more finished one!
JaninaG: Nice lines! Looking forward to seeing more.
loengrin: While the rendering looks nice, I think I would have guessed this was more of a death knight or assassin if I didn't know the topic. Perhaps you could make it more hunter-like? The weapon in particular feels inappropriate.

Hi guys, some very nice work, I really liked Gadbury's design, composition and rendering and JSpayde's sketches.
Here's what I've been doing.

JaninaG - I really like the way you draw, he has a great face!
Einen - I love the vivid colours! Really like the characterisation between the hunter and bird.
Jackdaw - Me Gusta.
Final design for her, now to get her placed in the image and tie it all together. This topic has been such a great source for inspiration, I've enjoyed looking through everyone's work:]

@Trolljack I really like the right one better, i feel like it frames better
@Einen classic! love it
@PhilipScherer I really really like the intricate design, it has a lot of potential, cant wait to see it done!
well, here's my update. i really have practically no experience coloring whatsoever so any advice would be really cool

Trolljack, that design is AMAZING.
Jackdaw, amazing too, great atmosphere, love it.
I went with one of the first ideas, though i did more sketches later....
and some images of the process....at some point i liked the idea of a wolf (as in the scan), but then i saw a similar idea posted so i just went with the eagle face.
I used as a reference a photo from a book with fantasy poses, i´ll scan it later to show it. I´ll do the data sheets later, and i´ll try to refine this drawing a little too, though not too much.
This guy is a human hunter.

So many cool character designs were posted since my first post on page 2!
I especially loved Trolljack's bark covered hunter, Einen's original design and warm colors and JaninaG's fierce looking hunter. Enough brown-nosing for now!
An update after tweaking some stuff - Hopefully will run with this design to the end and actually present a finished work. Not really expecting to be noticed, but nevertheless, this specific ChoW is just tons of fun
April 14th, 2012 #110
@Gadbury: the overall feeling is great, however he shoots an arrow-like projectile against a strong wind, which does not seem to be a good idea. Though the wind direction is a bit confusing, his hair floats in one way (same as the snowflakes), yet his coat floats in the opposite direction. Very dramatic I admit but slightly confusing.
April 14th, 2012 #111
April 14th, 2012 #112
I really, really enjoy all the variety we get here and how everyone has a different approach. I think my favorites for now are Einen's and Trolljack's designs, and Kerah's is also looking awesome for now!
@Kerah: I like your character's face and pose a lot as well as the overall design! But I wanted to point out that his head seems a little big to me... Maybe that's on purpose, but I thought I might as well say it just in case.
So, some progess...
Some basic color tests. The hunter's and rhino's colors in the illustration are not "blended in" with the environment yet, but since I'll be painting with watercolors, it gives me a reference point of where to start anyway.
And the traced pencils ready to be painted. I'm trying out a looser style here as opposed to my usual, very clean stuff. I have no idea how that will turn out. XD
April 14th, 2012 #113
I just finished watching ep8 of Game Of Thrones and now I see this excellent topic. Really nice entries so far. I can't help but feel inspired. I really wish I'd seen this earlier but I'm gonna start off with something anyway. I doub't I'll finish in time but if I don't I'll just post whatever I manage to produce in my SB.
April 14th, 2012 #114
@blazinwolf: there's something odd going on with the blue face mask, the shadow makes it look like she's her head straining to her right or she has a beak or something under there. otherwise great

I guess I'm also pretty late, but I already started to color my northern hunter. You can see he's a badass because he's wearing no sleeves in winter. But he likes to have his feet all warm and cozy.
I realize my design makes no sense, but it's all for fun, eh?
It's my first time to enter Chow, really great (and a bit intimidating) entries so far! Hope I can finish until tomorrow.

*Annual Percentage Rate. The initial discounted Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 1.75% ("the Initial Rate") will be effective for the first 24 months from the date the Home Equity Line of Credit account is opened ("the Initial Discounted Period"). Offer is valid for applications received between 09/15/12 through 11/30/12 that fund by 12/31/12. To receive the Initial Rate, an initial draw of at least $20,000 in new monies is advanced at opening, and you agree to (i) not close your credit line prior to the first anniversary of the opening date and (ii) maintain the account balance less normal monthly payments for a period of six-months from opening. The Initial Rate is not available to anyone with any HawaiiUSA FCU home equity line of credit that was opened prior to 09/15/12 and/or when paying down or paying off any existing HawaiiUSA FCU loan. After the Initial Discounted Period, the APR may vary on a quarterly basis on the statement cycle date of February, May, August & November. The APR will be equal to the index, which is the weekly average yield on US Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, plus a margin of 2.50%, rounded up to the nearest 0.25%. The current index is 0.20% as of 08/01/2012. The current non-discounted fully indexed variable APR as of August 1, 2012 is 4.00%. The rate cannot increase or decrease more than 1.00% at each quarterly rate adjustment but may exceed that for the single adjustment at the end of a promotional discounted rate period. In no event will the APR be less than 4.00% the floor rate, nor higher than 18.00% or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less. HawaiiUSA FCU charges no credit union closing cost; however, you will be required to pay certain fees to third parties at closing that may range from $0 - $1,500. These fees if required include, but are not limited to title insurance ($125-$300), escrow fees ($200-$500) recording fee ($25-$55), trust review and trust documentation ($155-$400), mortgage or other document preparation fees ($125-$175), and property evaluation ($65-$100). We will use a property evaluation to determine the property value, if the value is not sufficient an appraisal will be required at your expense, estimated cost may vary from $500 to $1,500 depending on the property. When an initial draw of a minimum $20,000 or more new monies is advanced at opening, certain third party fees may be waived** when you agree to (i) not close your credit line prior to the first anniversary of the opening date and (ii) maintain the account balance less normal monthly payments for a period of six months from opening. Hawaii properties must be fee simple and owner occupied to qualify. Maximum loan amount is lesser of $200,000 or up to 80% of your home value. Higher LTV programs available with price adjustments. HELOC has a 5-year draw period with a 15-year amortized repayment (principal and interest payment). Minimum monthly payment is $150.

Credit Protection Plan
Ever thought how you would make your loan payment if you lost your job or became disabled? Would your spouse be able to make that auto loan payment if you lost your life? Because "Life Matters", as a member of HawaiiUSA FCU, you can protect yourself in case you suffer an unforeseen, unfortunate life event. When making a loan at our credit union you can purchase our optional, HawaiiUSA Credit Protection Plan(HCPP).
HCPP was created by our credit union, exclusively for our members. HCPP cancels your loan payments if you involuntarily lose your job or get disabled. Loss of Life coverage cancels your loan balance if you lose your life so your spouse can keep that car without having to worry about how they will make the loan payment with one income.
If you made a loan with us and did not protect it with HCPP, or looking at getting a new loan, ask for details about our HCPP Program on your next visit to one of our branches.
Balance Financial Fitness First-Aid
Many circumstances in life can derail even the best money management plan. If you have found yourself in a situation where you can't keep up with your bills, you'll need to take an inventory of your resources and prioritize your financial obligations.
Start by following these Balance Financial Fitness First-Aid Steps:
Step 1: Take Inventory of Income & Resources
Record all sources of income, including realistic expectations of income that you will be receiving soon.
Step 2: Review Your Expenses
List your households essential expenses (Housing, food, insurance, medical expenses, transportation, child care, etc.) List your discretionary expenses (Personal, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses.)
Step 3: Take an Inventory of Your Debt
List all of your debts, including past due child and spousal support, back taxes, secured loans, student loans and unsecured debt.
Step 4: Prioritize Your Bills
Not all of your debts impact your family equally. Those that enable you to maintain the health and well-being of yourself and your family are most important.
Step 5: Communicate With Your Creditors
It is best to contact your creditors in writing, keeping copies of all correspondence for your records. Include the following facts:
- What specific hardship caused you to miss payments?
- What steps can you realistically take to remedy the situation right now?
BALANCE offers a variety of free and lowcost services to help you get out of debt, your financial goals. For more information call us or visit the Balance website at: www.balancepro.net
Income Tax Free Wealth Transfer
What if you could increase the amount you leave to your heirs when you pass on and do it income tax free?1 It is possible through a strategy called Wealth Transfer. Used primarily by those who are 70 years of age and older, it can benefit people whose retirement income is secure and who have accumulated assets they would like to leave to their loved ones at the time of their death.
Example: A 70 year old woman enjoying a comfortable retirement has $200,000 in credit union accounts and does not anticipate spending all of it during her lifetime. If she were to deposit $100,000 into the Estate Maximizer,2 she would receive these benefits:
- At her death, her beneficiaries would receive no less than $179,610, guaranteed.3
- Her beneficiaries would not pay any federal income tax on the $79,610 increase in value.
- Liberty Life would guarantee that, at any time, she could surrender her Estate Maximizer and receive back 100% of her $100,000 deposit.
The Wealth Transfer approach is becoming very popular with retirees who want to leave more for their loved ones, save on taxes and have the security of guaranteed principal.
To speak to one of our experienced Financial Advisors and learn more about the options available to you, please call us at 844.8338.
- For specific tax advice, consult a tax professional.
- A single premium life insurance policy issued by Liberty Life Insurance Co.
- Guarantees subject to the claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

Celebrate International Credit Union Week
October 15 - 20 , 2012
On Oct. 18, 2012, credit union members around the world will celebrate International Credit Union Day, an event to commemorate the credit union movement's impact and achievements. Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated annually on the third Thursday of October. Each year, the international event affords the opportunity to remember credit unions' proud history and promote awareness of and support for the credit union difference. This year, we celebrate the important economic and social contributions credit unions make to their communities worldwide. The celebration also aligns cooperatively owned and controlled credit unions with the greater cooperative business sector and the United Nations, which is also celebrating 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives.
Credit unions are recognized as a force for positive economic and social change and have provided significant value in both developed and emerging nations. International Credit Union Day is sponsored by World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), the international trade association and development agency for credit unions worldwide, and numerous national credit union trade associations and federations around the world.
In honor of this special day, HawaiiUSA invites members to visit any of our 12 branches on Oahu and Maui during International Credit Union Week, October 15 – 20, 2012 to help us celebrate the occasion and allow us to say "Mahalo" for your valued membership.
