Product description
Vivian Maylor can't sleep. Maybe it's because she just broke up with her boyfriend and moved to a new town, or it could be the stress of her new job at the hospital. But perhaps it's because her dreams have started to bleed through into her waking hours. All of her life Vivian has rejected her mother's insane ramblings about Dreamworlds for concrete science and fact, until an emergency room patient ranting about dragons spontaneously combusts before her eyes--forcing Viv to consider the idea that her visions of mythical beasts might be real. And when a chance encounter leads her to a man she knows only from her dreams, Vivian finds herself falling into a world that seems strange and familiar all at once--a world where the line between dream and reality is hard to determine, and hard to control...

Former union boss gets $700,000 for lost pension
Judge says the payout wasn't legally necessary
The San Diego city retirement board has awarded a $700,000 settlement to former labor leader Judie Italiano despite a judge's ruling that she isn't owed anything beyond her $5,700-a-year pension.
The settlement was approved by Superior Court Judge Joel Pressman because he had no choice once the parties agreed. He expressed concerns, however, that it was "clearly not legally necessary" given his previous decision against Italiano. The City Attorney's Office also argued the deal wasn't reached in good faith.
Italiano, former president of the city's union representing white-collar workers, had been battling with the city and its pension system to restore the annual $86,000 pension she lost in 2007 after the Internal Revenue Service deemed it invalid.
At issue is the city's past decision to allow labor leaders to include their union service toward their pensions as city employees. In Italiano's case, she was able to combine her 22 years as head of the Municipal Employees Association — peaking at $114,000 annually — with her nine years as a city typist making about $17,000.
The IRS said the practice, called presidential leave, violated tax law because union leaders aren't city employees and thus can't receive credit for union work when it comes to a city pension.
Italiano sued the city and pension system for $1.8 million — the estimated value over time of her combined union-city pension — accusing officials of negligence and making false promises about how much she would have for retirement.
Judge Pressman ruled last month that the city didn't properly approve the presidential leave benefit so it doesn't owe Italiano anything but the smaller pension for her nine-year stint with the city.
While the case was still going on, pension and union officials were negotiating a settlement for Italiano. The pension board unanimously approved the deal in closed session Oct. 1 — 45 days before the judge ruled against Italiano.
Pressman reluctantly approved the deal on procedural grounds Monday despite his concerns.
"This court does not see this as a good faith settlement," he wrote in a tentative ruling. "It is a settlement crafted to give judicial cover to an agreement based on prior illegal acts. This court is not inclined to grant that cover. If the parties choose, the settlement can go forward but without this court's good faith determination."
Mark Sullivan, board president for the San Diego City Employees' Retirement System, said the city and pension system were sued by Italiano on different grounds and the judge's ruling only cleared the city from damages. He said the board needed to limit its financial exposure by settling the lawsuit.
"The cost to defend ourselves in this action would be pretty close to the amount that we were seeking to settle and there's no way we would be able to recover that," he said. "Our goal is to minimize the impact to the trust fund."
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said it didn't make any sense to agree to a settlement given the court's decision.
"Once again, the pension board has overstepped its bounds," he said. "Although the judge applied procedural standards, he made it absolutely clear that he is not inclined to grant 'cover' for this deal. We have other avenues to challenge the pension board's side deal and will do so."

He's saying this because many athletes that are not good enough or weren't given the chance on a NA professional team go overseas and prosper. They are better than the majority of the population but not at the pinnacle of talent yet. He's comparing these because they both have to do with entertainment and competition.

the comparison isn't really that bad you're blowing things way out of proportion. also you could make a cross sport comparison for Jon Jones in the NBA but Michael Jordan doesn't really fit. If anything he's close to a Kevin Durant. Way too tall and lanky to be playing his position or weight class and destroys people using his length and athleticism instead of girth/beefiness.

I understand that. I just pointed out the holes in his comparison since traveling overseas to compete is fairly borad and he chose to narrow it to D Leaguers and AAA players

Because saying "X's really good" sounds incredibly bland and uninspired. When people are describing something, one of the first instincts is to go "it's like Z". Even if it's not completely accurate, you're not always appealing to the "true Z", but to the popular image of Z. And some sports people are really popular.
And I'd argue that maybe they have fun looking for comparisons, but I'm not too sure about that.
Also screw this huge quote box. Wish there was an prettier way to quote one post that's quoting something.

What?? That wasn't the point of my statement at all. You're comparing their physical skill sets. The quote I made up was to compare their greatness in their respective sports. My point was that a comparison between two sports is almost always completely unnecessary because you're just trying to reach a broader audience and it's insulting to fans that actually follow both.
so you're saying Jon Jones isn't the Kevin Durant of MMA?

No because I think all cross sports comparison are ridiculous because they're never 100 percent exact and it bugs me. I mean they are in two completely different sports it makes no sense to compare them in my opinion.
But just for the sake of argument if you think Jones gets by on just his athleticism then you're under-appreciating his grappling skill and technicality. Just see for yourself
Don't be fooled just because they gave him a joke of fight like Sonnen. You don't dominate 4 former champions just by being more athletic and lanky.

point is, they looked into it.
other point is..... the b,c, and d tier foreign players cant even compete with the A tier NA players, so why should we look for outside talent?

text: I love RTS (real-time strategy) games, especially when they provide a brigade of options, smart enemies, and adaptive play. I hate reviewing them, however, because it requires a ton of screens and mucho things to describe (hint: skip to the end and watch the embedded video).

The Hibernate team is very happy to announce the release of another Beta of Hibernate OGM 4.1!
Progress has been made with respect to query execution and the Neo4j dialect. Also we do provide a so-called
Bill of Materials POM now which the Maven users out there will appreciate (details below).
The GAV coordinates to be used with Maven, Gradle etc. are:
- org.hibernate.ogm:hibernate-ogm-core:4.1.0.Beta6 for the OGM engine and
- org.hibernate.ogm:hibernate-ogm-<%DATASTORE%>:4.1.0.Beta6, depending on the backend you want to use.
Alternatively you can fetch a release bundle containing Hibernate OGM and all its dependencies from SourceForge.
Please note that this new release requires Hibernate ORM 4.3.6.Final or later.
Query improvements
We've reworked major parts of the integration with the query execution machinery from ORM. This enables quite a few improvements in the field of JP-QL as well as native queries.
One is support for polymorphic queries also on those backends which don't use Hibernate Search for querying (Neo4j and MongoDB). This means queries targetting a super-class will return instances of any mapped sub-class as well.
Furthermore, Hibernate OGM now shows the same behavior with respect to auto-flushing you already know from Hibernate ORM. That is, if you submit a query, all pending changes to entities of the effected types will be flushed to the data store in order to ensure queries don't return any stale data. Whereas this works nicely on stores supporting full transaction semantics (namely, Neo4j), some care must be taken on stores with limited or non-existing rollback capabilities. Refer to the reference guide to learn more about the details.
In addition we took measures to cache native queries derived from JP-QL queries. Note that this requires Hibernate ORM 4.3.6.Final or newer. Generally we strive for compatibility with a complete minor release family (4.3.x), but in this case we need to make use of some advanced SPIs only introduced in 4.3.6. The module ZIP we provide for WildFly contains an updated ORM module as well. This will be added along side the existing ORM module, which remains unchanged.
More natural association mappings in Neo4j
As part of our ongoing work on the Neo4j dialect, associations are mapped to relationships finally the way you'd expect it. There used to be redundant properties on associations which are gone now. Only actual association properties are stored on relationships, e.g. the order of the elements of an ordered list. The following shows an example:
Here we have an entity Father with an ordered collection of Child entities which is mapped by a relationship to each Child node. The birthorder attribute (the name has been given via @OrderColumn) is stored as property on the relationships, just as it naturally makes sense.
On a tangent, we've updated to Neo4j 2.1.3.
Simplified version management
Another big usage improvement for Maven users comes in form of our new Bill of Material POM (BOM). This POM defines a set of matching versions of the Hibernate OGM modules and their dependencies, such as Hibernate ORM, Hibernate Search or the different datatstore connectors.
All you need to do is to add this BOM to the dependencyManagement block of your project POM using the special import scope:
<dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate.ogm</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-ogm-bom</artifactId> <version>4.1.0.Beta6</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement>
Then you can declare dependencies to Hibernate OGM or any of the related modules without specifying a version, which you will get automatically from the BOM:
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate.ogm</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-ogm-mongodb</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-search-orm</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId> </dependency> ... </dependencies>
To update to a new version of Hibernate OGM, simply update the referenced version of the BOM. This in turn will give you updated versions of any dependencies as required.
Your feedback matters
As we're approaching the Final release of Hibernate OGM 4.1 soon, your feedback matters more than ever! You can use the following tools to get in touch:

Effect of sample stratification on dairy GWAS results

Artificial insemination and genetic selection are major factors contributing to population stratification in dairy cattle. In this study, we analyzed the effect of sample stratification and the effect of stratification correction on results of a dairy genome-wide association study (GWAS). Three methods for stratification correction were used: the efficient mixed-model association expedited (EMMAX) method accounting for correlation among all individuals, a generalized least squares (GLS) method based on half-sib intraclass correlation, and a principal component analysis (PCA) approach.
Historical pedigree data revealed that the 1,654 contemporary cows in the GWAS were all related when traced through approximately 10–15 generations of ancestors. Genome and phenotype stratifications had a striking overlap with the half-sib structure. A large elite half-sib family of cows contributed to the detection of favorable alleles that had low frequencies in the general population and high frequencies in the elite cows and contributed to the detection of X chromosome effects. All three methods for stratification correction reduced the number of significant effects. EMMAX method had the most severe reduction in the number of significant effects, and the PCA method using 20 principal components and GLS had similar significance levels. Removal of the elite cows from the analysis without using stratification correction removed many effects that were also removed by the three methods for stratification correction, indicating that stratification correction could have removed some true effects due to the elite cows. SNP effects with good consensus between different methods and effect size distributions from USDA's Holstein genomic evaluation included the DGAT1-NIBP region of BTA14 for production traits, a SNP 45kb upstream from PIGY on BTA6 and two SNPs in NIBP on BTA14 for protein percentage. However, most of these consensus effects had similar frequencies in the elite and average cows.
Genetic selection and extensive use of artificial insemination contributed to overlapped genome, pedigree and phenotype stratifications. The presence of an elite cluster of cows was related to the detection of rare favorable alleles that had high frequencies in the elite cluster and low frequencies in the remaining cows. Methods for stratification correction could have removed some true effects associated with genetic selection.

|The Jews in England during the 13th century
|Ebright, Alpha Mills
|University of Missouri
|There has been much difference of opinion as to when the Jews first appeared in England. Most historians say they were brought over from the Continent by William the Conqueror upon pecuniary consideration. But there are some who contend that Jews were in England before the Conquest. This evidence is none too convincing on either side, but it seemingly proves that Jews were residents of England earlier than the Norman invasion. But their number was no doubt small, and their influence slight, which, coupled with the fact that such great numbers are known to have come over with William, has led writers to infer that the Conqueror brought the first Jews into England.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.-- The Bureau of Land Management is delaying the release of its environmental study of a proposed Wyoming-to-Idaho electric power transmission line.
The draft environmental impact statement for the Gateway West Transmission Line Project was scheduled to be released this summer, but that's been pushed back to the last quarter of the year.
Idaho Power and Rocky Mountain Power propose to build the 1,150-mile line to carry wind and other power from Wyoming to Idaho and other points.
The BLM says its delaying the document's release to address comments received during the internal administrative review process as well as to clarify management objectives related to sage grouse, visual and other public resources.
The BLM will hold a 90-day public comment period once the study is released.

Ferrie Bodde's move away from Swansea City continues to drag on.
Bodde's immediate future remains unclear and the Swans have already officially rejected two bids from Derby for the 26-year-old Dutchman.
Middlesbrough and West Brom have also been linked with a move for Bodde, who has recently spoken of his desire to join the Rams.
As the Swans prepared to jet out to their Scandinavia training base on Sunday, Bodde was forced to travel back to his native Holland for personal reasons, sparking fresh speculation he is set to move away from the Liberty Stadium.
But club officials expect Bodde to link up with the rest of the squad on Monday.
A club spokesman confirmed: "Ferrie Bodde went back home to Holland for personal reasons on Sunday and is due to join up with the rest of the squad in Sweden on Monday."

Thousands raised in honour of beloved daughter Clare
Published at 16:23, Thursday, 27 December 2012
IT is impossible to negotiate the first Christmas after the death of a loved one without the occasion stirring up some particularly powerful memories.
The holiday season is synonymous with family and the absence of a member amplifies grief that is never far from the surface.
Barrow couple Paul and Lorraine Sturgeon faced their first Christmas without beloved daughter Clare Hutchinson, who passed away from cancer in May.
But they can take some comfort in the knowledge that their fundraising efforts since her passing will help keep other families together in difficult times.
Ms Hutchinson – a mother to Jamie, 20, and grandmother to Millie-Mae, 18 months – was just 41 when she lost her 13-year battle with first bowel cancer, then a brain tumour and finally leukaemia.
It was during treatment for the third of these illnesses that Mr and Mrs Sturgeon stayed at Duncan House in Blackpool where they could be close to their daughter.
Duncan House was opened by Barrow woman Liz Cassells to give Cumbrian families a place to stay while their relatives undergo treatment for leukaemia in Blackpool.
So grateful for the service are Mr and Mrs Sturgeon that they have since raised more than £13,500 to help keep the house's doors open.
"Leukaemia treatment is very long-term and Clare only completed three of the four treatments and she was in for more than six months," he said.
"The first few weeks we travelled everyday from Barrow, but we found the strain of it was unbelievable because it's 80 miles each-way.
"The offer of Duncan House for us to stay in rent-free was just piece-of-mind and it meant we were able to be close to Clare and not worrying about the travelling.
"On three occasions we got calls from the hospital in the early hours of the morning that Clare was quite poorly and to come to the hospital and we couldn't have done that from Barrow."
While £1,500 was donated to Duncan House from a collection at Ms Hutchinson's funeral, a further £12,000 came in from a fundraising night at The Nines in Barrow in October.
"It was beyond our wildest dreams," Mr Sturgeon, 62, of Kirkstone Crescent, said. "We'd never done anything on that scale before and you see in the paper a quiz night or a do at a pub raises £800 to £1,000 and you think that's good.
"I sort of had in the back of my mind that because the tickets sold out quickly we might be able to get £3,000 to £4,000, but to raise £12,000 was just unbelievable."
That night, which even earned the endorsement of Liverpool captain Steve Gerrard, continues to raise money for Duncan House, with a local legacy fund in the process of finalising a donation.
And Mr and Mrs Sturgeon are hopeful there will be more fundraisers next year, including a fashion show around Easter that is in the early planning stages.
"It's kept us occupied and kept our minds focused that some good has come out of our loss that will help other people who are in the same situation," he said.
"Duncan House's future is certainly not guaranteed. It's on a short-term lease from the hospital over a few years, so it has to be successful for that lease to be renewed.
"It's roughly £10,000 a year to keep it open, so there's a lot of satisfaction that we've helped keep the doors open for another 12 months."

|Half Baths

|Minimum Stay

La Canal is a beautiful large bastide, built in 1760. Its thick walls keep the house cool during the hot summer months. The house has been restored to a high standard, by its designer owner, to give great comfort and space for 12 people. There is a huge terrace in front of the house, shaded by ancient mulberry trees, from which one has splendid views to the distant Maures. You can walk through the mature walled 2 1/2 acre garden and wild flower meadow straight into the village, no driving to all those lovely restaurants! The magnificent 14 metre salt water pool is tucked away in a secluded part of the garden. Ample secure parking is provided with electric gates at the entrance.
In June 2014, my family and I enjoyed a wonderful stay in La Canal.
The house is situated within a few minutes walk of Lorgues and yet very private and secluded as it is set back within a large garden and accessed via a gate at the main entrance. The bedrooms are spacious with en suite bathrooms and have been tastefully furnished to a high standard with comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you could wish, from plenty of utensils to a good selection of crockery. The local shops and weekly market are within walking distance and we enjoyed sitting under the mulberry trees of La Canal enjoying our meals and rose wine. The pool area was delightful with towels provided. Lorgues and nearby villages were delightful with good restaurants.
Nicola, who was at hand nearby, was welcoming, helpful and friendly. During our stay, our son was married in a nearby chateau and what with our stay in La Canal, our holiday was made especially memorable. We hope to return as the rose wine does not taste quite the same in Swansea!
Gill and Gwyn Higgins
Our group of 12 including family and friends travelled to Lorgue for a week and didn't want to leave. Nicola welcomed us on arrival and we quickly settled into this magnificent old home. The bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds and modern bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and there was also a BBQ outdoors. Every morning we had breakfast on the terrace under the mulberry trees. From this peaceful garden surround it was a 5 min walk into the village to enjoy cafes, bakeries, restaurants, bars, specialty shops and on Tuesday a huge market filled the central streets. Our large pool was always popular for a relaxing swim after visiting local wineries or walking in the hills.
I would encourage everyone to find time to enjoy a special holiday here at La Canal
La Bastide is a wonderful house with its own walled grounds and swimming pool. The house is immaculately maintained and Lorgues is within 5-10 minutes walking distance. We have spent several family holidays here and are due to return again next year. The area of the Haut-Var is full of interest - plenty can be accessed by foot or public transport, although a car is probably necessary to explore attractions such as the Gorge de Verdon. I would thoroughly recommend this holiday rental.
We will never forget our first view of La Canal through the beautiful wrought iron gates. The pathway to the house , with its pretty blue shutters and mulberry trees in front. is lined with lavender and the garden is just gorgeous with lavender everywhere -filling the air with its scent when anyone brushes against it. We loved the fact that we had to walk down this path every time we went to the charming town of Lorgues for provisions. What a great find and what a good decision it turned out to be. La Canal was perfect for our needs with six bedrooms and four good bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen, a laundry and even Wi-Fi was available. The kitchen opened onto a very charming area of the garden with plenty of outdoor seating for reading and relaxing. The pool area was very pretty and well maintained, with towels provided by Nicola, lots of recliners, large sun umbrellas and a decent sized salt water pool. No chlorine! It was secluded and separated from the main garden by an attractive stone wall. There was a table tennis for the energetic and an outdoor fridge and BBQ which was very handy.
We had great fun buying the local produce and cooking up a storm in the kitchen and had a marvellous day at the famous Tuesday market in Lorgues where everything from clothes to food was sold. We dined at La Canal every night under the mulberry trees – and could not even tear ourselves away for just one night! The food we prepared each evening was so superb that we even cancelled a booking that we had made at a Michelin starred restaurant in Lorgues!! We knew that nothing could compare to the beautiful setting, ambience and food at La Canal.
The week flew by with lazy hours by the lovely pool area or under the shade of the mulberry trees in one of the comfy garden chairs. There was plenty of space for everyone, inside and out and not once did we feel we 'needed to get away' for a bit of peace and quiet! We went for walks to beautiful Chateau de Berne and visits to nearby villages and Thoronet Abbey. Another stand out experience was our superb lunch at Florian's Restaurant (alias Kiss the Chef) in a quiet little corner of Lorgues – don't miss it!! Not only is the food excellent but Flores and his father are a pleasure to meet!
If you are looking for a relaxing and beautiful place to stay, in an absolutely gorgeous area of France, don't hesitate. This is it! We are returning and can't wait. Thank you Nicola, for a wonderful holiday.
We were six couples in the sixties who had a wonderful week in La Canal in Lorgues. When we arrived we were greeted at the gate of a very nice lady (Nicola) who welcomed us to La Canal.
We had hired two buses, and road into La Canal was just as broad as it had to be. When we had parked the cars and the baggage was in the house, Nicola gave us a full briefing on all facilities in the house. It was according to the description.
The kitchen had all the equipment we could wish for and everything was clean and well maintained.
The bedrooms were large and beds comfort. Everything about the house met or exceeded our expectations.
Outdoor facilities are still the best. Great pool with furniture and cushions, outdoor dining furniture, BBC, garden, mulberry trees with ripe fruit, everything was great.
La Canal is a great place if you want to explore the beautiful Provence or enjoy your time in peaceful surroundings.
We would highly recommend La Canal as a place to stay for a week or more.
This was a fantastic place to stay for our short holiday. We stayed for four nights and wished we could have stayed longer!
A group of 10 of us stayed at La Canal in September. It is on the doorstep of a charming village. Set in large grounds, you feel you are in the middle of the countryside, yet within 10 minutes you are in the heart of the village.
Nicola was there to make sure everything we needed was provided for and to recommend restaurants and attractions, but for the most part we felt we had the amazing house to ourselves.
The house itself is gorgeous. Inside, it is comfortable, clean and well maintained. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfy. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast. But the best part of the house is the outdoor facilities... gorgeous pool, BBQ, outdoor dining furniture, poolside loungers + cushions, even table tennis!
We would highly recommend La Canel as a place to stay for a week, a month...or more
La Canal is situated in the village of Lorgues, walk to our wonderful weekly market and all our local shops, restaurants and bars. The coast of St Tropez and Cannes is an hour away. Aix en Provence less than an hour.The spectacular Gorge de Verdon just over an hours drive. For walkers and cyclists there are dozens of marked trails and routes, some starting from the house. Visit our numerous vineyards where you will find award winning wines which are now drunk all over the world.

|Listing by language
Listing by date
Number of Admins: 242
The system currently recognizes 242 administrators. If that is not the last number in the list above, there is an error in the list.
Administrators are users with the technical ability on Wikimedia Commons to:
- delete and undelete images and other uploaded files, and to view and restore deleted versions
- delete and undelete pages, and to view and restore deleted revisions
- protect and unprotect pages, and to edit admin-protected pages
- block and unblock users, individual IP addresses and IP address ranges
- edit the MediaWiki namespace
- rename files
- add and remove usergroups
- configure Upload Wizard campaigns
- delete and undelete specific log entries and revisions of pages
- import pages from other wikis
- merge the history of pages
- modify abuse filters
- not create redirects from source pages when moving pages
- override the spoofing checks and title or username blacklist
- send a message to multiple users at once (massmessage)
- use higher limits in API queries
These are collectively known as the admin tools.
Community role
Administrators are experienced and trusted members of the Commons community who have taken on additional maintenance work and have been entrusted with the admin tools by public consensus/vote. Different admins have different areas of interest and expertise, but typical admin tasks include determining and closing deletion requests, deleting copyright violations, undeleting files where necessary, protecting Commons against vandalism, and working on templates and other protected pages. Of course, some of these tasks can be done by non-admins as well.
Administrators are expected to understand the goals of this project, and be prepared to work constructively with others towards those ends. Administrators should also understand and follow Commons' policies, and where appropriate respect community consensus.
Apart from roles which require use of the admin tools, administrators have no special editorial authority by virtue of their position, and in discussions and public votes their contributions are treated in the same way as any ordinary editor. Of course, some admins are influential, but that derives not from their position as such but from the personal trust they have gained from the community.
How to
- Further information: Commons:Administrators/Howto
Suggestions for administrators

Dear community,
I would like to present Thibaut120094 as a candidate for adminship on Commons. He has been very active on Commons for quite some time and expressed his interest to become an administrator here. I find the severe lack of admins rather troubling, as we desperately need more admins to deal with the bulky backlogs. He has been tagging copyright violations and participating in DRs actively. Additionally, he has a good understanding of various Commons' and copyright policies. Most importantly, he has a keen, conscientious and humble attitude. I believe that he would be a significant asset to Commons if he is given the tools. I hope the community would agree with me. Thank you. Jianhui67 talk★contribs 05:55, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

- Oh I completely forgot that photo, I uploaded it when I was a newbie. Japanese laws don't allow reproduction of artistic works in open places for commercial purposes. Japan has a copyright lifetime of 50 years after the death of the author and we don't know who the sculptor is and when he died. And knowing that the subject died in 1940, we can't know for sure if the sculpture is in public domain or not. So this image should be deleted. I'll open a DR.

Racket head acceleration through impact

But it made me think about racket head acceleration. During the debate someone put forward (I can't find it now) that the foreward velocity decreases after impact, while the upwards increases. And ofcourse the sideways speed accelerates as the racket goes across the ball and/or body. And it is only natural that the foreward vektor goes down as the upwards and sideways goes up. If you factor them together, I think it is very likely that the combined sum goes up, meaning that the racket in a lot (most?) of typical modern forehands (and other shots as well) accelerate after and through impact. Maybe this is obvious to some, perhaps others disagree. I wonder if the movement in all three planes have been factored together?
In that study, sideways numbers were not supplied. I went back and calculated the resultant velocity of the forward and upward components at impact and it was 36 m/s. After impact, the first decreased and the other increased (up to a point) as noted by you above. I calculated the resultant velocity again when the upward component reached its maximum value, and it was 26 m/s. So, at least for the case when the sideways is ignored, there seems to be a net deceleration.

From the Publisher"Nakamura's methodology combines the field techniques of anthropology, archival research, and the political analysis of social movements to gather information on deaf movements in Japan in the postwar era, with the goal of understanding what it means to subscribe to 'deaf identity' in Japan. She frequently includes cross-cultural perspectives from international deaf movements and language systems to contextualize the Japanese case, as well as poses thoughtful and provocative questions about personal and communal identities by comparing the Japanese deaf community to other minority groups in Japan. Nakamura's monograph is extremely important because it explores disability in a wider context—as deafness cuts across all class, ethnic, and gender lines—and explores disability as a social construct for identity formation."—Carolyn S. Stevens, Journal of Japanese Studies
"Deaf in Japan introduces readers to the largely unknown world of the marginalized minority of the hearing impaired in Japan. Offering a succinct historical overview and an exploration of the internal friction among the deaf and the inner workings of disability activism, Deaf in Japan draws attention to the great socio-historical changes that have taken place in this area in Japan since the early twentieth century. Of vital importance as a substantial contribution to the neglected field of disability studies and to the study of social movements in Japan, it is a work of indisputable originality, distinguished by the application of a successful fieldwork method and highly readable, accessible writing. Competent in both JSL (Japanese sign language) and ASL (American sign language), Nakamura embeds actual life stories within her study and in this way succeeds very well in conveying the realities of deaf identity in Japan beyond ideological theorizing. Relatively concise as it is, this thoughtful study also stimulates a greater awareness of issues of identity formation, ethnicity, and culture in general, and of the intercultural dynamics of discourses that go beyond national borders in the process of globalization. For this reason, Deaf in Japan is equally relevant to an understanding of the problematics of disability elsewhere, thus contributing to the integration of Asian Studies in general academic discourse."—John Whitney Hall Prize Citation from the Association for Asian Studies
"Deaf in Japan begins to fill an enormous lacuna in the literature on contemporary Japanese society, namely how the society treats those with any form of physical or mental disability. Those interested in contemporary Japanese society and comparative welfare will learn much in this book about how Japanese social attitudes have changed over the past fifty years."—Roger Goodman, University of Oxford
"In addition to expertly introducing to an English-speaking readership the world of the deaf and deaf movements in Japan, Karen Nakamura provides a very interesting and useful perspective on Japanese social movements and the 'new' forms they are taking in the 'post-postwar' milieu."—J. Victor Koschmann, Cornell University
"Karen Nakamura combines history, life histories, ethnographic observation, and politico-linguistic analysis of sign language in Japan to open up sensible and much-needed debate on the multiplicity of the Japanese and their culture."—Sonia Ryang, The Johns Hopkins University

22 out of 640 people found this instruction helpful
1. I removed the top of the dryer. It is hinged at the back and has two spring-loaded clips holding it under the front (as indicated in a previous repair story). I had to pry the top up with force as the clips did not release easily. After seeing how the clips held the top panel, I found if I used a flat bladed putty knife from the side and pushed in on the back of the clips, pushing forward, they would release very easily.2. unclipped the two electrical leads to the door mechanism.3. unscrewed the two screws on either side that held the front panel on and removed front panel.4. pulled away old felt seals and then used solvent to remove adhesive (this takes the most time). I used acetone but maybe Goo-gone is safer choice.5. applied adhesive all around surface as evenly and quickly as I could (used disposable latex glove to spread), not touching it once it started to dry. Then applied top felt-glide first pushing it firmly against front lip. 6. Bottom felt strip has a square edge on one side and beveled edge on the other. I assumed beveled edge allows it to slip in more closely under the lip of door and so put it on that way (instructions do not indicate which way so I could be wrong). Do not stretch felt while applying and it will meet flush with top glider felt ends.6. I let dry for 15 minutes before putting front panel back on, carefully lifting drum so it would slip on without disturbing felt.7. Replaced front panel screws, electrical clips and top panel. Waited an hour before using dryer.

Prior to 2008, condominium developers could rely on private mortgage insurance to bridge the financing gap for condo buyers who couldn't put together a 20% or larger down payment. That all ended with the financial collapse in 2008-09. Since then, condominium sellers have had a very difficult time getting a buyer financed if the buyer lacked a large down payment, even if the buyer had excellent credit.
Since 2008, condominium associations have increasingly ensured that their condominium developments are approved by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) so that unit buyers can obtain FHA-insured loans. As an FHA-approved condominium development, unit sellers are happy because buyers can then qualify for FHA-insured acquisition financing. The FHA's low down payment requirements are especially attractive to potential buyers.

Cheers signal iPhone availability [photos]
updated 06:15 pm EDT, Fri June 29, 2007
Apple's iPhone arrives
Numerous cheers have erupted from the front of a line leading up to an AT&T store on Wall Street, signaling the beginning of Apple's iPhones falling into the hands of consumers there. Barron's Online reports that one individual waiting to purchase the device is now inching forward in what was previously a stagnate waiting line. Apple promised to deliver the device into the hands of eager shoppers this evening at 6:00 p.m. ET, and has apparently kept its word. Apple's iPhone has arrived.
Ahead of its launch in San Francisco, the downtown flagship store has dropped a black cloth over all the windows, while those in line are selling their early spots in line for up to $200 each (the line currently wraps around the block at the San Francisco flagship store).

how was the tartan ?
I bought a 1975 tartan 30 last October. Hull number 298
I have just gone over it to launch for this season
The hull is solid. The keel/ hull joint needed to be resealed. the chain plates are leaking. I peeled paint away from about 10% of the hull where it easily flaked off, not one blister to be found, the glass is solid !
leaky chain plates are normal, they seem solid and are an easy fix.
The deck and all the fiberglass on the top is solid.
The boat is solid to sail very stable. I am inexperienced , I had this boat doing 21 knots sailing her from Grand Manan to Nova Scotia when I bought her last fall ! And the second fastest GPS speed on a different day was 19 Knots !!!
you wont be disappoibnted if the boat is solid

Smoke Roasted Turkey With Spiced Cranberry Sauce
|8 Quart
|Kosher salt
|1 Pound
|Brown sugar
|1 Pound
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Sage leaves/3/4 teaspoon dried sage
|Garlic powder
|1 Tablespoon
|14 Pound
|1 Bunch (100 gm) (Such As Sage, Tarragon, Chives, Parsley, Thyme)
|2 Clove (10 gm), mashed
|1 , chopped
|Spiced cranberry sauce
|1 Tablespoon
Combine all the ingredients for the brine in a 2 1/2-gallon pot.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Strain and refrigerate in plastic containers until needed.
Select a plastic bucket or container larger than the turkey.
If a metal container is used it should first be lined with a large plastic bag.
Place the turkey in the container, cover with chilled brine, and refrigerate for 48 hours.
Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse well in cold water.
Fill the turkey's cavity with the optional herbs, garlic, and onion.
Return to the refrigerator, uncovered, and allow to dry out while preparing the smoker by following the manufacturer's instructions.
Hot-smoke the turkey at 200° to 250°F for 6 to 8 hours, or until a thermometer registers 165°F when inserted into a thigh.
The cooking time will vary depending on type of smoker used, the size of the turkey, temperature of smoker, and so forth.
Allow plenty of time for the turkey to cook.
If it is finished early, it can be removed and held in a warm oven until needed; if it is cooking too slowly, increase the temperature in the smoker or finish in a 350°F oven.
When the turkey is cooked, remove it from the smoker and allow it to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

Cycle Quest
Ride a bike around South Beach, engage in ridiculous antics, and possibly win a sweet prize? Sounds like the fantasy of every Miami bike enthusiast, and it's coming true during the second annual Bike Hunt, a wacky scavenger hunt on wheels.
Beached Miami and Emerge Miami have partnered to plan an afternoon of awesome, absurd adult fun. Think showering in public fountains, cannonballing into public pools, playing ball boy at a tennis game, and engaging in other acts of ridiculousness.
This is the second go-around for this crazy ride. The first went down in March 2011, and people had a blast, says Beached Miami editor Jordan Melnick.
"When you send people on these missions, it gets people to explore South Beach in a new way. We tie in daring types of things, silly things, historic challenges," Melnick says. "It's really just about having a good time."
Teams of two can sign up to take part in the South Beach excursion. Teams will get a list of the top-secret challenges (released the day of the hunt) and will earn points by sharing photos of completed challenges via Twitter, using the hashtag #bikehunt305. So yeah, someone on each team has to have a Twitter account and a smartphone.

Manchester City executive chairman Garry Cook admits club owner Thaksin Shinawatra is unlikely to fade into the background.
Cook told the Sunday Express: "A lot of people are living off last season, when it was deemed that perhaps Dr Thaksin was perhaps intrusive.
"You can never say that won't happen again because he owns the football club. He has a right to say what he wants. He has invested an awful lot of money in this football club. Dr Thaksin is a politician and he's not scared to have a public opinion. I was in Bangkok last week and we spoke about what was required.
"It's well defined and my head will roll if we don't get close to some of the issues.
"But it takes a long time to create a dynasty. Mark Hughes is a young manager who wants to challenge himself. He wants to have the best footballers in his team."
