Mitt Romney's 2008 Health Care Reform Plan
Mitt Romney often defends the individual mandate that was the cornerstone of his Massachusetts health care reform law by saying it was put in place on a state level. But the health care reform plan he campaigned on in 2008 was also largely centered around the concept. Although the plan implies using a "federalist approach," the plan doesn't specifically imply it that it is a states-only approach. Implementing the concepts laid out in the Romney plan, including the "Stop The Free Riders," concept would most likely have to involve some coordination on the federal level.

THURMAN Lila Harrington visits her daughter in Iowa as often she can, but her most recent trip brought her up close and personal with some presidential types.
Harrington, who lives in Thurman, happened to be spending a couple of weeks with her daughter, Leslie (Silva) Saftig in Ames, Ia. when they realized it was almost time for the annual Straw Poll festivities.
I decided to stay an extra week, Harrington said. So Leslie and I traveled around to see the candidates.
The two personally met and chatted with Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Rudy Guiliani, Mike Huckabee, Sam Brownback and Tommy Thompson.
During her stay, the annual RAGBRAI Ride took place, in which her son-in-law, Dan, and grandson, Andy, rode a tandem bike. The RAGBRAI is an acronym for the (Des Moines) Registers Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa, and it is a benefit for the Cancer Society. The ride is a week long and covers 477 miles.
Lance Armstrong was there riding, too, she said. They close all the roads across the state, and there were 20,000 riders.
Meanwhile, Harrington and her daughter traveled from site to site to visit with presidential candidates.
Mitt Romney is so charismatic, good looking and I agreed with ll of his platform, she said. I was so bowled over by him, he looked right at me and I almost melted into the floor.
Barack Obama was at a farm, standing in front of a large white barn with an American flag on it and next to a huge field of corn.
He answered our questions after his speech, she said. She was disappointed that her camera ran out of film as they conversed with Obama so she didnt get many good photos.
After that, we drove across the state to pick up Dan and Andy after the RAGBRAI race, she said. It was a beautiful ride through miles nd miles of fields of soybeans. After the two riders did the traditional dipping of their bikes in the Mississippi River, they all returned home to Ames.

Janis proposes stiffer penalties for child endangerment
A Louisa County child abuse case sparked legislation proposed by Del. William R. Janis, R-Glen Allen, to increase penalties for anyone convicted of endangering a child.
The case involved Louisa residents Laura and Ronald Jewell, who were accused of torturing their 8-year-old granddaughter.
The prosecutor, Louisa Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Garrett Jr., said the girl sneaked out of her house on July 8, 2010 and ran to neighbor's home for help. The neighbors, upon hearing a noise around 3 a.m., opened their door and found the girl, who was covered in bruises. She told the neighbors that she had been beaten and asked for help. The neighbors then proceeded to call 911.
The little girl was missing significant chunks of hair, Garrett said. She had open sores behind her ears and a small portion of one of her ears was missing. One of her ankles was broken and she had what looked like cigarette burns all over her body, he said.
The Jewell grandparents, with whom the girl was living, had made a "home-security system" to keep her in her room, Garrett said. They did so by tying a pan to her doorknob, which would make lots of noise when she would try and open the door.
Laura Jewell was convicted of malicious wounding and felony child abuse and neglect, and faces up to 30 years in prison when she is sentenced next month. Ronald Jewell pleaded guilty to felony child neglect and also faces substantial prison time.
The issue at hand, Garrett said, is that child torture statues are located in the child labor section of Virginia legislation. The judge presiding over the Jewell case stated that since the grandmother wasn't the child's employer, she couldn't enact the penalties that come along with a child labor law infraction.
Janis said the problem is that the statutes pertained more to child labor laws as opposed to child abuse under criminal code. The acts that came out of those discussions were labor-related and not catered to children who were physically harmed by a parent, he said.
"We want to have as many teeth for physical abuse as we do for sexual abuse," Garrett said.
Legislative changes would give prosecutors more ways to help victims and convict abusers. The bill Janis proposes, HB 1996, would make it a Class 3 felony with additional penalties for cases similar to the Jewell convictions. A related measure he submitted, HB 1995, would allow victims of child pornography to collect civil damages from offenders.
"There are three things we're trying to do within these codes. Firstly, we want to move child torture and abuse from the child labor codes to the criminal code. Secondly, we want increased restitution for the victims of said abuse. And thirdly, we want more distinctions within the code regarding levels of offenses," Garrett said. There is currently nothing within the code that addresses the varying atrocities of child abuse, torture and neglect, he said.
Garrett said he spoke with Janis early on in the Jewell case about the various issues within the code. Janis was eager to try to make improvements, he said.
With regard to this year's legislative session, "I'm afraid because budget times are so tight," Garrett said. More people in prison means more money spent.
This isn't something a lot of lawmakers are going to want to hear, he said, "but if you're breaking kids' ankles, in my opinion, you deserve to be in jail."

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

Welcome back 'Stargazer' lily, a fragrant superstar in the summer garden
It's so wonderful to walk out into the garden and see 'Stargazer' in bloom. It's even more amazing to experience the perfume released from the flower as it hangs in the summer air.
This is a great time to plant the bulbs if you'd like the summer garden to be graced by 'Stargazer' or other lilies.
Nurseries are discounting them by 50 percent.
Lilies are easy to grow and will thrive in part sun and good soil for decades.
Compost is the key in preparing the soil. Get a bag of compost and dig it into the garden where the bulbs will be planted. The lilies will reward you with years of pretty, aromatic flowers.
I'm going to plant more lilies, not just 'Stargazer' but anything else I can find which looks interesting.
Part of my garden chores for the last few years is to extend the season of interest in my garden. It's wonderful in mid-May when the rhododendrons and azaleas bloom, but in past seasons, has gone downhill from there.
The addition of hydrangeas and lilies makes the garden fun and exciting to be in during the summer.

First Thunderbolt-packing desktop motherboard from Intel launched
By Paul Ridden
May 25, 2012
After over a year of Mac dominance, the first Intel desktop PC motherboard featuring Thunderbolt I/O technology has been – somewhat quietly – announced. Based on the latest Z77 Express chipset, the DZ77RE-75K has been optimized for the new Intel -K Core processors. It features a new GUI BIOS, comes with integrated HD audio and video, and benefits from RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support.
Thunderbolt I/O technology offers up to 10Gbps bi-directional data transfer rates, and a single connector is capable of daisy-chaining multiple devices. Up until now, devices supporting the technology have been a little on the Apple-heavy side, but with the launch of Intel's DZ77RE-75K mainboard, that situation will likely change rather quickly.
At launch, the ATX-sized (9.6 x 11.6-inch/24.3 x 29.4 cm) board will support the latest Core i7 K, as well as 2nd and 3rd gen Core i3/i5/i7 processors via an LGA1155 socket (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge). It can accommodate up to 32GB of 240-pin DDR3 system memory over four slots, and makes up to eight USB 3.0 and ten USB 2.0 ports (although some are via internal headers) available.
There are four 6Gbps and four 3Gbps SATA ports and one 6Gbps eSATA, dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN, one external and one header FireWire interface, and two PCI Express 3.0 x16 expansion slots in addition to two PCI Express 2.0/PCI slots. The boxed version of the board will also include an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 2.1 module for wireless connectivity.
Intel's Visual BIOS offers a touch-screen support, a top to bottom graphical interface, and full mouse and keyboard enabled controls for system tweaking such as overclocking of the unlocked -K CPU cores and fine tuning of the graphics and memory speeds.
The new DZ77RE-75K is not the only Thunderbolt-packing desktop PC board available, of course. Both ASUS (P8Z77-V) and MSI (Z77A-GD80) have also recently announced mainboards with built-in Thunderbolt technology, although only the former has been certified by Intel at the time of writing.

Now if you put this in a case painted with the diamond paint from another article. Naw, just give me this motherboard loaded up with all the options in a nice case with a touchscreen monitor and I could be happy without the diamond paint.
Paul Ridden shouldn't be ashamed of his age. I started out learning MAD programming language. And we had to go to the computing center to punch our cards. If you messed up too badly you got a greenbar printout with Alfred E. Neuman's picture on it. If you messed up even more you got a greenbar printout with "GARBAGE" in large letters printed across the page. That's after you waited for a whole day for them to run your program.

Butt-Chugging Lawsuit?
On October 10, 2012 By Cal Albritton October 9, 2012
By now, many of you young readers have heard about the incident at the University of Tennessee where a member of the University's Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) chapter was accused of "butt-chugging." And for those of you who don't know, you probably already have a suspicion of what this is. If you're squeamish, you may [...]Continue Reading →

Road between Mangalore and Moodbidri to be made 4-lane
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has proposed to widen the National Highway 169 (formerly NH 13) between Mangalore and Karkala via Moodbidri, even though the final feasibility report on taking up this project has been completed. It has proposed to widen the stretch between Mangalore (from Kulashekara) and Moodbidri into a four-lane road and the stretch between Moodbidri and Karkala as two-lane road.
According to Shriram Mishra, Project Director, Mangalore Project Office of the NHAI, the final feasibility report is now before the NHAI for its approval. A 50-k.m. stretch between Mangalore and Karkala is part of the NH 169 connecting Solapur in Maharasthra and Mangalore. It has been proposed to widen a 20 km stretch between Moodbidri and Karkala into a two-lane road, considering that the traffic here is less than what one could witness between Mangalore and Moodbidri.
He said there is also a proposal to construct a bypass at Gurupur and Moodbidri under engineering procurement construction (EPC) mode of contract (under this mode of contract the government spends the entire money required to build a road). It would not be taken up under build, operate and transfer (BoT) mode of contract or design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) mode of contract.
B.C. Road-Surathkal
Mr. Mishra said that a Rs. 22 crore proposal has been submitted to the NHAI headquarters for widening the service roads between the 37-km four-lane stretch from B. C. Road to Surathkal (covering NH 66, NH 169 and NH 75) and to build 34 bus shelters in this stretch. The service roads will be widened wherever free land is available. In many places, land is available for widening the service roads up to one meter or 1.5 meters. The proposal does not involve acquisition of additional land or demolition of any buildings.
He said that under this proposal street lights will be installed on all six flyovers. In addition, a foot-over-bridge will be constructed at Surathkal and a two k.m. service road will be built at Brahmarakutlu (near B. C. Road).Mr. Mishra said that toll booths will be constructed at Brahmarakootlu and Maroli (between Maroli flyover and Padil).Potholes on the service roads will be filled up shortly as rains have stopped, he said.

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis doesn't believe Arsenal took them too lightly on Saturday.
Pulis denied suggestions Arsene Wenger's decision to start with Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri on the bench showed any lack of respect.
Instead, he insisted every match this term will be a test - be it against a slightly under-strength Arsenal side, or next week's opponents, Wigan.
He added: "I was still frightened to death of the team they put out. They have great players and a great manager and they will definitely bounce back.
"We play Wigan next and that will be a tough game too. We had Adebayor playing...next it could be Roman Pavlyuchenko, Robinho or Fernando Torres.
"We're playing at a different level now, playing against great players every week."


text: One of the things I have always loved about the 1985 miniseries A.D.: Anno Domini is the way it links the conversion of Cornelius, a Roman centurion who became the first Gentile Christian, to Caligula's efforts to have a statue of himself placed inside the Jerusalem temple. In this telling, Cornelius reacts to the insanity of Caligula's decree by abandoning paganism altogether, while Peter and the other Christians argue over whether they, as Jews, should still regard the temple as "theirs" in some sense. Caligula's plans to desecrate the temple, which we know about from writers such as Philo and Josephus, provoke a number of identity crises that are so interesting, you begin to wonder why the book of Acts itself never mentions this episode.

|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2014)
The Jungmädelbund (literally "Young Girl's League") was the section of the Hitler Youth for girls between the ages of 10 and 14.
It is called Jungmädelbund in German, and commonly abbreviated in period and contemporary historical writings as JM. Since this was a girls' organization, it fell under the League of German Girls, which was led by the BDM-Reichsreferentin (National Speaker of the BDM), who reported to the overall head of the Hitler Youth, Baldur von Schirach (who was later succeeded by Artur Axmann).
About the Jungmädel[edit]
After the Gleichschaltung in 1933, the League of German Girls became the only girls' organization in the Third Reich. All other groups, including church groups and scouting organizations, were either absorbed into the Hitler Youth or banned. In 1936, the First Hitler Youth Law made membership compulsory for all girls aged 10 or older. The same law also made membership in the male Hitler Youth compulsory for all boys above the age of 10.
New members had to register for their service between March 1st and March 10th of every year. Registration was held at a local League of German Girls administrative office. Girls had to have completed fourth grade and meet the following requirements:
- be of racial / ethnic German heritage
- be a German citizen
- be free of hereditary diseases
If a girl met those requirements, she was assigned to a Jungmädel group based on the geographical location she lived at. In order to become a full member, she had to now attend preparatory service which consisted of her participation of one Jungmädel meeting, one sports afternoon which was to include a test of her courage, and a lecture about the tasks of the Jungmädel.
After she fulfilled these requirements, a ceremony was held to introduce new members into the rank of the Jungmädel on April 20th, Hitler's birthday. During the ceremony, new members were sworn in, presented with a membership certificate, and personally welcomed by their group leaders.
In order to become a "full" member, however, each girl had to pass the Jungmädel Challenge (Jungmädelprobe), which consisted of participation in a one-day trip with the group, and a number of sports requirements. Girls had six months to meet all the requirements of the Jungmädel Challenge and, on October 2nd of each year, those who passed became full members in another ceremony in which they were officially presented with the right to wear the black neckerchief and brown leather knot.
A girl was then a full member of the Jungmädel and remained in the group until the age of 14, at which point she transferred into the League of German Maidens (also known as the BDM, or Bund Deutscher Mädel).
In fiction[edit]
- Behind the Bedroom Wall, by Laura Williams, is a children's novel set in World War II about a Jungmädel girl whose family hides 2 Jews in their home. It was published in 1996.
- The Devil in Vienna by Doris Orgel. A young adult novel set in Vienna, it is about two girls of the same age, a Jewish girl and her close friend, an Aryan who is forced to belong to Jungmädel. As their beloved Vienna and everything they've taken for granted collapses around them, they strive to maintain their friendship.

2. Integrate the user's perspective
Too often business decisions are based only on increasing revenue, decreasing overhead, simplifying workflow, or saving time. There's nothing wrong with these motivators in and of themselves, but without integrating the user's perspective into this equation, no one will care. All of these motivators should be secondary to striking the proper balance of business needs from a user's perspective.
Focus first on engaging and inspiring your user base. This mindset will allow you to get the most out of technology by focusing on elevating people, which can lead to different conclusions, better conclusions.
3. Set aside the status quo
Elevating humanity is rooted in delivering unexpected value. Put aside the status quo for a moment and start asking open-ended and systematic questions about how you can elevate experiences, people, communities and businesses. Who can you elevate?

Women in the coastal belt are very enterprising, says Pattur
The city has high potential for exploring fashion designing. All we need is a new line of thinking; say Sri Nivas Rao Pattur and Rajasekhar Narayan, fashions designers of repute. They were roped in by the city-based Samana Institute for Design Studies (SIDS) as faculty members.
Mr. Pattur is the chief mentor-cum-Director of the institute while Mr. Narayan will equip budding designers at the institute with latest knowledge and trends in fashion designing across the world.
"To make the local youth employable is essential, especially in the light of their rapid migration to bigger cities in search of greener pastures. The focus must now be laid on small cities," says Mr. Pattur.
Emphasising on the need for creating work locally, Mr. Pattur says the efforts should be in a direction to transform the 'local' into 'glocal'. "Women in this coastal belt are very enterprising. We must build up on our strengths, hand-hold them through this journey towards a successful path," says Mr. Pattur.
Mr. Narayana, who is a product of the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad, believes in the magical success of hard work coupled with commitment.
"There is no elevator to success. Our focus has been on imparting quality design education. The best thing about the current fashion scenario is that you get very good stuff here in India itself and one need not travel abroad for shopping for good apparel. Moreover, people are developing good taste and that gives chance to everyone in this field to showcase their talent," he says.
Quiz him about the prospects for fashion designers and he says: "There is a lot of positivity around. I can see it going only in one direction – up…up…and above".
The fact that there is a need to give something new every day to the current day fashionist as does not deter the duo. "The only way to usher in change is to educate the local designers and we are here to set the ball rolling for the much-needed transformation in the local fashion scenario," says the duo.
Mr. Pattur and Mr. Narayan have been made part of the SIDS to impart world-class coaching to students in fashion apparel designing.

Special Correspondent
KOLKATA: Industrialist Ratan Tata on Friday criticised controversies over giving agricultural land for industry, saying people propagating farmers' cause should do something to boost their (farmers') prosperity.
"Such concerns are valid. They are supposedly in the interest of agriculture and are seemingly politically motivated. But do such agitators provide inputs to farmers that will boost their productivity," he asked.
Mr. Tata was here in connection with the annual general meeting of Tata Tea.
On the Tata's small car project at Singur, he said there were efforts to delay the project but the Tatas would use their capabilities to make good such delays.
Justifying the location of the car project at Singur, he said the group felt that the eastern region and West Bengal had been neglected for long, and someone had to make a start.
"We risked putting a very large project and we had to put it at a place where it would have visibility. We wanted the plant to be a showcase for West Bengal — we wanted a project of which the people would not feel ashamed of but would rather take pride in."
He said West Bengal was an investment-friendly State with an enlightened government and a very pragmatic Chief Minister. The State had great potential, he said.

The RNC's Site Selection Committee has recommended Cleveland, Ohio, as the host city of the 2016 Republican National Convention. Cleveland last held a national political convention in 1936, when Kansas governor Alfred Landon defeated Senator William Borah of Idaho for the Republican presidential nomination.
Over the past few months, Cleveland faced stiff competition from over 20 other cities. The field was whittled down between April and July, when Dallas and Cleveland were selected as the two finalists.
The RNC chairman said this morning on Fox News, "We're excited to be bringing the RNC to Cleveland in 2016" and that Cleveland was "a city on the rise." In a conference call, Senator Rob Portman of Ohio said the convention would "bring dollars and jobs to Ohio" and that the convention was "an opportunity to showcase our great state."
The potential host cities list for the Democratic National Convention in 2016 has been pared down to Birmingham, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Columbus, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Cleveland, though, will likely now be dropped.
The RNC's recommendation of Cleveland is viewed by some as part of a broader strategy to help Republicans win Ohio's 18 Electoral College votes, something they've failed to do since George W. Bush's reelection in 2004. Ohio's votes are important, as every president since Lyndon Johnson's election in 1964 has won Ohio.
Whether conventions have any impact on voter decisions is a source of debate, and the last cycle did not bode well for either party. In 2012, both parties lost the state in which they held their convention—the Democrats in North Carolina, the Republicans in Florida. The Republicans have not held a convention in a state they won on election day since 1992, when the convention was held in Houston, Texas.
Ryan Mahoney, an RNC spokesman, told The New York Times the choice was "a business decision at the end of the day." Many factors other than politics play a role, but none larger than how much money the city's host committee promises to raise in funding. Cleveland promised more than $30 million.
In a statement, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said:
The RNC set a new standard for conventions during this process. Not only will the convention be held earlier in 2016, but there are also substantial guarantees in place for funding that put us well ahead of previous conventions and will give our nominee the best opportunity to succeed.
The RNC set a new standard for conventions during this process. Not only will the convention be held earlier in 2016, but there are also substantial guarantees in place for funding that put us well ahead of previous conventions and will give our nominee the best opportunity to succeed.
The convention in Cleveland could also impact state races, namely the gubernatorial race this year. The state's Republican governor, John Kasich, is up for reelection in 2014. His opponent is Democrat Ed FitzGerald, county executive of Cuyahoga County, which encompasses Cleveland entirely. Kasich stands to benefit more than FitzGerald, since it's unlikely a Democrat will run ads bragging about securing a Republican convention.
The 2016 convention is expected to be held in June or July of 2016, in an effort to avoid repeating a mistake made in 2012, when Republicans held their convention in late August. This delayed the formal naming of Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee and, as such, his access to general election campaign funds.

At the Republican National Committee's self-healing session Monday morning at the National Press Club, Chairman Reince Priebus ran through a five-point "action plan" for moving the party forward. It's a plan, Priebus said, of "bold strokes" that shows the GOP is "done with business as usual." Per the recommendations of an internal review of "what went wrong" in 2012, the RNC will be working to improve in five areas: "messaging, demographic partners, campaign mechanics, technology, and the primary process."
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus reiterated that he believes Rand Paul's 13-hour filibuster over the Obama administration's drone policy was a "unifying moment" for the GOP and that the party is "totally on board" with the libertarian senator.
Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus announced a "national marketing and branding campaign" on CBS this morning:
On Sunday's political talk shows, several Republicans criticized the Obama administration's response to the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Here's Senator John McCain of Arizona on CBS's Face the Nation:
Ephraim, Wisc.At an appearance last week at a high school in Cascade, Iowa, a half hour drive from the Wisconsin border, Barack Obama told the crowd gathered to see him that he'd take questions from anyone who had one. There was one exception – a gentleman wearing a Green Bay Packers t-shirt.
Via Real Clear Politics, Democratic party spokesman Brad Woodhouse makes a bizarre assertion in response to Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus comparing Obama to the captain of a wrecked Italian cruise ship:
While the Democratic National Committee has decided to throw its support behind the pro-public sector union protesters in Wisconsin, the Republican National Committee is doing its part to get Democratic senators back to work.
RNC chair Reince Priebus just emailed me (and everyone else on the RNC's list) advice for what I should be doing this Valentine's Day:
Matt Continetti on James Poulos's show:
American political parties are loose associations that lack any kind of formal structures. The two parties stretch across three broad categories -- the electorate, the party organization in place to facilitate the campaign, and the government. None of these parts of the party is formally connected to any other part, and even within each category there is not a great deal of coherence. Within the government, there is a party in the House and a party in the Senate, totally distinct from each other as well as from the state legislative caucuses.
The Hill reports on a hopeful change at the RNC:
The fifth ballot at the RNC race:
Priebus 67, Cino 40, Anuzis 32, Wagner 28
Priebus 67, Cino 40, Anuzis 32, Wagner 28
Michael Steele dropped out of the race after the last round and urged his 28 supporters to back GOP operative Maria Cino, but she only picked up 11 votes, while Reince Priebus picked up 9, and Saul Anuzis gained 8. Ann Wagner's total remained the same.
The 168 RNC members have just cast their ballots in the first round of voting in the RNC election. Wisconsin GOP chairman Reince Priebus got 45 votes, Michael Steele 44, GOP operative Maria Cino 32, Michigan committeeman Saul Anuzis 24, and former Missouri chairman Ann Wagner 23. That's pretty much what most observers thought would happen on the first round--but with a stronger showing for Cino than expected. The ballots are secret, and most observers expect balloting to go a number of rounds until one candidate receives a majority.

The other two have many flat edges on them and this is where the edges are most visible. One was at an angle to the print direction and has a slight fuzzy look to it. The edges on it are rather smooth instead of sharp. The second was printed parallel to the print direction. Each flat side surface shows visible stepping on the model which you can feel with your finger. The above two cubes are 0.75" each. I received another item in White Detail that is 3 inches long (printed in the "width" or x/z direction) and it has lines running horizontally on the long slightly curved side but these do not exist in the areas where there's more shaped details. Is this normal for White Detail?]]> WildRoo 2011-01-31T05:45:36-00:00 Re: White Detail: Layer problem? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=23420&th=4448#msg_23420 can you post some pictures?

I got transparent detail before on a character model and didn't have this, so I was wondering if its just the white detail material that does it. ]]> WildRoo 2011-02-04T13:16:02-00:00 Re: White Detail: Layer problem? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=23451&th=4448#msg_23451 I think the orientation of the part during the manufacturing process has a great effect in the quality of the surfaces for WSF material. I had the same model printed in different times and the results were very different from each other. Some would have a nice surface while others would have very apparent ridges in some areas. I wonder if there is anyway we can recommend a prefered orientation to the operator so we minimize these ridges?

Minimaker has a good photo of the normal settings issues. Yeah, 7mm is really tiny... so is the world of miniatures. People paint iris and reflections in eyes of humanoids that are ~30mm, by hand (in the snow, uphill both ways, without boots...) so they want the surfaces to be smooth. -_o]]> stannum 2011-02-05T02:01:20-00:00 Re: White Detail: Layer problem? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=23459&th=4448#msg_23459 glehn: I ordered White Detail, not WSF.

No, you aren't alone wondering about it. Minimaker has a good photo of the normal settings issues. stannum I honestly find that surprising; I previously ordered a character model in Transparent Detail and the surface was smooth to the the touch, but the detail was visibly hard to make out. After seeing their miniature model they used as an example for "too many polygons" submission method I chose to go with White Detail for this run. When they came in I was, and still am, surprised that I can run my fingertip across what was supposed to be a smooth edge and it gives the feel of a stack of papers, with many surprisingly thick feeling "layers" in it. What I'm printing I plan on casting to make reproductions of and, for an object thats supposed to have flat walls, layers you can feel simply will not work. As is I'm in contact with a rep now and hopefully everything will work out. ]]> WildRoo 2011-02-05T05:25:38-00:00

Student troupe acts with a conscience
Performance to benefit family shelter
"She's just a born actress," said Linda Vickerman, a University of California San Diego theater instructor. Vickerman directed an Acting for Others musical production of "Macbeth" and still works with the group.
"She has all the right instincts," Vickerman said. "This is a new thing for her, being the director, and I think she's learning a lot through the process of doing it."
Nora's mother, Dianne McKay, said she's watched her flourish despite the challenge of a congenital eye problem that makes regular tasks such as reading, taking notes and completing homework more difficult.
"I've been very proud of her, watching her take control of her life," McKay said. "The commitment and growth, just to see her develop the responsibility to have her heart in the right place."
Actors collaborate to select a charity to benefit each year, said Keziah, the group's co-founder who has several roles in the play.
"It feels like we're helping people just like us," she said. "We don't have to be an adult to make a difference."
Donations from tonight's performance may be used to upgrade Operation Hope's play area and computer lab, said Russell Blackwood, the shelter's director of operations. The 7,500-square-foot building provides shelter for families and single women from Dec. 1 through March 31.
"Not only are they (the actors) an inspiration and an example to these people that others care about them," Blackwood said. "I'd say it shows they can accomplish anything if they set their minds to it."

The Rajasthan Government will shortly issue credit cards through the cooperative banks to 1 lakh farmers across the State to enable them to get the benefits of various schemes for their agricultural activities. The Cooperative Department has allocated targets for the task to various banks.
State Principal Cooperative Secretary Chandra Mohan Meena said at a video-conference meeting here on Tuesday that in addition to the distribution of credit cards, priority would be given to farmers who have recently entered the field in the disbursement of agricultural loans for this year's rabi crops.
"All the needy farmers should be associated with the cooperative activities and credit limits of new members of cooperative societies fixed forthwith," said Mr. Meena while addressing the officers of his department.
An official release issued here quoted Mr. Meena as saying that the availability of more financial resources to the cooperative credit societies following the implementation of the Vaidyanathan Committee's report would "directly benefit the farmers". He pointed out that the NREGA accounts were being successfully managed by the cooperative mini-banks.
The Principal Secretary emphasised the need for connecting the cooperative sector with various consumer services for the benefit of residents of remote villages.
Registrar of Cooperative Societies Mukesh Sharma said the "Uphaar" mini-supermarkets would start functioning in the rural areas across the State by this year-end. He said efforts should be made for getting land allocated for cooperative institutions at village panchayats to create their permanent infrastructure.

By taking advantage of large cell size of Chara corallina, we analyzed the membrane depolarization induced by decreased turgor pressure (Shimmen in J Plant Res 124:639–644, 2011). In the present study, the response to increased turgor pressure was analyzed. When internodes were incubated in media containing 200 mM dimethyl sulfoxide, their intracellular osmolality gradually increased and reached a steady level after about 3 h. Upon removal of dimethyl sulfoxide, turgor pressure quickly increased. In response to the increase in turgor pressure, the internodes generated a transient membrane depolarization at its nodal end. The refractory period was very long and it took about 2 h for full recovery after the depolarizing response. Involvement of protein synthesis in recovery from refractoriness was suggested, based on experiments using inhibitors.

We'll be doing the FA Cup semi-finals on here over the next couple of days, but I thought that it was about time for a quick round-up of how things are going in the myriad of non-league competitions. The early Easter has brought the end of the season about rather suddenly this year, and in most semi-professional leagues there are only a handful of matches left to play. Here's a quick reminder of how the non-league system in England works. It's called "the pyramid" because the league fan out on a regional basis (the fundamental reason for this being that travel expenses become more and more of an issue the smaller a club is). At the top of the tree is the Conference, a national league, and its two regional second divisions, the Conference North and the Conference South. Below this, there are three leagues. The Northern Premier League (which covers the north of England) feeds into the Conference North and the Isthmian League (which covers the south and south east of England, as well as London) feeds into the Conference South, with the third league, the Southern League (which covers the Midlands, west and south-west of England), feeding into both the Conference North and South. All three of these leagues have a Premier Division and two regional second divisions (all of these leagues have sponsors' names too, but I'm choosing to ignore them for the purposes of clarity). All of these leagues promote their champions only, with one-off play-off matches between the second to fifth places teams (with the higher placed team at home) to determine second promotion places, except for the Conference, who do it over two legs in the semi-finals and with a final at Wembley.
The Football Conference: There are still seven or eight matches left to play in the 46 game Conference season, but only a spectacular collapse collapse by leaders Aldershot Town could cost them a place back in the Football League. Second-placed Torquay United won 2-1 at Droylsden last night, but this only cut The Shots' lead to fourteen points. Torquay will probably go into the play-offs as the favourites, and they will be joined there by, in all likelihood, three from Stevenage Borough, Burton Albion, Cambridge United and Exeter City. There won't be any easy games to played against any of those teams, though, and there is a good chance that two clubs that have never seen League football before (taking into account that Aldershot Town is a different club to the Aldershot that folded in March 1992) getting promoted. At the foot of the table, Droylsden and Stafford Rangers have already more less been relegated, but there promises to be almighty scramble to avoid the other two relegation places. Halifax Town lost ten points for entering into administration, and this has left them third from bottom, but they could yet pull themselves out of trouble – three points separate them, Northwich Victoria, Farsley Celtic, Altrincham and Weymouth.
Conference South: As I mentioned on here before, the battle to get out of the Conference South has been a straight two-way battle between local rivals Lewes and Eastbourne Borough since the new year. Lewes currently have the upper hand, being one point clear at the top with a game in hand, but both teams seem to be suffering from end of season nerves, and either could drop points in any of their remaining matches. It's still too close to call with five matches left to play. The losers will go into the play-offs as the clear favourites and it's easy to see why in what has been a very mediocre Conference South league this season. Eastleigh, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Bishops Stortford currently occupy the other three play-off places, but only five points separate Stortford in fifth place from Havant & Waterlooville in eleventh place. Any three of the teams between them could yet come through and snatch a play-off place. At the bottom of the table, Sutton United are all but mathematically down already and Dorchester Town seem set to join them (although they did breath a bit of life into their corpse of a season by beating Maidenhead United last night). The other relegation place will be filled by one of Maidenhead themselves, Weston Super Mare, St Albans City, Welling United or Bognor Regis Town, all of whom are picking up points at the moment.
The Conference North: Kettering Town are eight points clear at the top of the Conference North with two games in hand. They only need two more wins from their remaining six matches to guarantee promotion. Stalybridge Celtic have emerged impressively from the chasing pack into second place, with AFC Telford United, Harrogate Town, Nuneaton Borough and Southport just behind them. With six matches to play, there are other clubs that could come in and challenge for a play-off place, but the positions in the Conference North have been pretty static all season, and I would be less than surprised if the teams currently occupying the play-off places were all still present and correct come the end of the season. At the bottom of the table, Leigh RMI and Vauxhall Motors are sinking fast, and it looks like being a straight scrap between Hucknall Town and Hinckley United to join them, although there are a couple of teams above them that could yet be dragged into a relegation scrap.
The Isthmian League: Congratulations to Chelmsford City, who won the Isthmian League championship last weekend when AFC Wimbledon lost 4-2 at home to Horsham. Wimbledon have stuttered recently, having lost three of their last four matches, but are still likely to go into the play-offs alongside Staines Town and AFC Hornchurch. The final play-off place, though, is still very much up for grabs, with just six points separating fifth-placed Horsham and Margate, down in eleventh place. In Division One North, Dartford are six points clear of second-placed AFC Sudbury, although Sudbury have two games in hand. This one is likely to go to the last day of the season. In Division One South, Dover Athletic need just one point from the remaining four matches to guarantee their promotion.
The Southern League: There's a three-way championship scrap going on in the Southern league Premier Division, with two points separating top of the table Halesowen Town, second placed Team Bath and Kings Lynn in third, although King's Lynn (who are arguably the biggest "old" non-league club in England never to have played Conference football) have two games in hand, victories in both of which would but them top of the table. Evesham United seem likely to win the Division One Midlands title (they're nine points clear of second-placed Leamington) whilst in the Division One South & West, newly-formed Farnborough are six points clear of Fleet Town with four matches to play and seem likely to end the season as champions.
The Northern Premier League: Former Conference club Witton Albion are seven points clear of Fleetwood Town at the top of the NPL, and are arguably starting to claw their way back after a decade or so in the doldrums. Fleetwood will be joined in the play-offs by Gateshead (another former Conference club), and two from Buxton, Guiseley and Eastwood. At the top of Division One North, three points separate Skelmersdale United, Curzon Ashton and Bradford Park Avenue, though Bradford have games in hand on both of the clubs above them. Bamber Bridge and FC United of Manchester are likely to join them, though United have games in hand and could yet launch a surprise bid for the championship. In Division One South, Retford United are twenty points clear at the top of the table and have already won the championship, but can't take promotion because their ground isn't up to the required standard. Cammell Laird seem likely to take the promotion place, although the world's oldest football club, Sheffield FC, could yet end their 150th year with promotion – they're eight points off second place, with three games in hand.

The North Face Men's Imbabura Jacket
I now have a new favorite jacket name to pronounce: Imbabura. This is good because The North Face Men's Imbabura Jacket is very noteworthy and I might get to pronounce Imbabura often (I refuse to use a pronoun instead of repeating the name). The Imbabura is an insulating mid-layer and is stuffed with water-resistant 700 fill goose down; this means the Imbabura is highly compressible (into the Imbabura's own hand pocket), can handle a little rain and is very warm. So go Imbabura a North Face Imbabura jacket and Imbabura the Imbaburas! (now I'm just replacing any word with Imbabura).

Bought this jacket for my husband and he absolutely loves it! Super lightweight but provides excellent warmth. He used it during hunting season here (16 degrees) underneath his hunting jacket and says that he was warm all day. When he travels he stashes it in the front zipper of his carry on luggage. It's thin enough to be used in early fall and thick enough to be used in late fall and early winter. Total steal at $149! I should've bought two!
