Why should Open Access matter to researchers?
The organisers of Open Access Week have produced a detailed guide on how researchers can promote open access.
We invite you to watch this short video to learn more about open access and why we believe it matters to researchers:
SPARC and the Canadian Author's Addendum
The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) is an international network of research libraries working to address issues in the current academic publishing model.
The bottom line
Open access:
- gives your work more exposure by making by making your work easier to find
- provides universal access to your work by ensuring it is no longer hidden behind subscription barriers
- meets the requirements of many funding agencies - many funders stipulate that research be made publicly available since it is being funded by the public
Copyright - Your rights as an author:
- the author holds copyright of a work unless they transfer it to someone else in a signed agreement
- assigning copyright to someone else matters, as they can do anything with your work, and can prevent you from using it in course work and reusing it in subsequent work
- there are tools available where you can transfer copyright while holding back key rights - publishing agreements are negotiable
What can you do?
- Use the SHERPA/RoMEO database to learn what a journal's default publishing policy is.
- Use the SPARC Canadian Author's Addendum to modify the publisher's agreement and keep key rights to your article. By doing so, as the author, you retain your rights to reuse your work without restrictions, receive proper attribution for your work and make your work openly available through an open access repository, such as McGill's eScholarship. For publishers the addendum maintain non-exclusive right to publish and distribute your work, receive financial return, are cited as journal of first publication and are able to use the work in future formats.
- As creators of intellectual property, it is important that faculty and researchers stay informed on current Canadian copyright legislation.
- Use a Creative Commons license in order to be able to decide how your work is used
- Inform yourself about open access and copyright issues - read the CAUT policy statement on scholarly communication

Since they will have the basement and ground level, will Shoppers just take over the whole building on the corner? I think the Goodlife gym on the upper level closed since the new one at Yonge and Adelaide opened.
Shopper's could use a second 24-hour downtown location and Yonge & Queen seems a pretty natural spot to do it.
Noticed store wraps on the weekend indicating Massimo Dutti is opening in the former Mango space while J. Crew will be in the former Bebe space above Pink. A salon is taking over the radio station space on Yonge (by the parking garage entrance).

I didn't see that Bebe had moved to another location, so maybe it's gone?
website, Canada is not even a choice under Choose Your Location. This is their first Canadian store, presumably. They have no US stores at present, either. According to the Inditex website, Massimo Dutti has "573 stores in 51 countries." (Zara has 1,631 stores worldwide.)
Is Mango moving somewhere else in the mall?
Massimo Dutti is, as mentioned, part of the Inditex Group from Spain. Zara is the flagship brand, but there's MD, Pull & Bear, Bershka.. All stores I would LOVE to see in Toronto. Cheap chic (imo) better than H&M.
I don't know about those other stores, but Massimo Dutti is definitely not cheap.
Isn't Mango at Sherway? I could swear I remembered seeing it the other day.
If J.Crew is taking the old Bebe spot, then it isn't even that big. Isn't this store supposed to be both men's and women's? Or was Bebe just an odd configuration?
Guess I was wrong about J.Crew - thought it was going to Harry Rosen. Any idea who's taking over Harry's current spot?

Tastemaker, educator, sound designer and Motor City figurehead: Mike Huckaby live in the mix during the RBMA World Tour stop in Melbourne.
_(artist-name)Mike Huckaby_: tastemaker, educator, sound designer, and Motor City figurehead. Huckaby has done as much for Detroit electronic music as he is a dance music purist extraordinaire. Being an integral part of the Detroit dance scene, he was the man behind the legendary Record Time store and as such gathered an encyclopedic knowledge of music. Mike is one of those rare guys who know all the roots and culture of electronic dance music, who see beyond the hype and divisions in the scene, and know exactly what this music is. He is the kind of purist whose love for music has literally had him flown around the globe. Huckaby produced for labels like _(artist-name)Rick Wade_'s renowned Harmonie Park outfit, tons of remixes, or his own ventures Deep Transportation and S Y N T H respectively. Apart from his activities as a DJ and producer, he also works as a sound designer and a tutor for the software companies Native Instruments and Ableton, teaching Reaktor and Live around the world, as well as for special Detroit youth foundation project YouthVille.

"Home Cooking in the Global Village is an outstanding example of contemporary anthropology. It offers a good balance between ethnographic and historical information. With its compelling presentation on the effects of globalization, this book is ideal for courses on Latin America or the Caribbean. As the book considers the role of food, any course on the anthropology of food would benefit from it as well." —Michael R. McDonald, Florida Gulf Coast University

|47th Mayor of Portland, Oregon
|In office
3 January 1981 – 3 January 1985
|Preceded by

|Succeeded by

|Personal details
July 19, 1924
Portland, Oregon, U.S.
|Political party
|Politician, businessman (ex)
Francis J. "Frank" Ivancie (born July 19, 1924) is a retired businessman and politician who served as mayor of Portland, Oregon, from 1981 to 1985. Prior to his term as mayor, Ivancie served for fourteen years on the Portland City Council. Since his retirement from elected office, Ivancie has remained active in community affairs, occasionally lending his support to political causes.
During his political career, Ivancie was a conservative Democrat who throughout his political career cultivated support from both business interests as well as blue collar workers; however, the city government offices he held are all officially non-partisan.
Early political career[edit]
Ivancie was first elected to the Portland City Council in 1966, filling a vacancy on the Council when Ormond Bean did not run for re-election to the post. He was re-elected to the Council several times, in 1970, 1974, and 1978, only serving the first two years of his final term.[1] While on the city council, he served as Portland's police commissioner.
In 1976, Ivancie launched his first campaign for mayor, running against one-term incumbent Neil Goldschmidt. A key issue in the campaign was the Mount Hood Freeway, a controversial freeway proposal which the City Council had killed by a vote of 4-1 in 1974 (Ivancie casting the lone dissenting vote) and which Ivancie and his supporters hoped to revive. Billboards were erected proclaiming "If Ivancie were mayor, you'd be home now". Unfortunately for Ivancie, the primary beneficiaries of the proposed freeway project were suburban commuters who were ineligible to vote for the mayor of Portland.[citation needed] City residents were in widespread opposition to the freeway (which was never built), and Goldschmidt handily won re-election, defeating Ivancie in the primary election. (The Portland mayoral election is held in May of years divisible by four; if no candidate secures a majority in the primary then a run-off election is held in November between the top two vote-getters in the primary election.)[2]
Tenure as mayor[edit]
In 1979, Goldschmidt resigned as the city's mayor to take a post with the Carter Administration as United States Secretary of Transportation, and fellow commissioner Connie McCready was appointed to fill the remainder of Goldschmidt's term. Ivancie then ran for mayor again in 1980 against McCready—a candidate who had neither the populist appeal of Goldschmidt nor the powerful backing of Ivancie—and defeated her in the primary election. The primary election that year occurred on May 20, 1980.
Ivancie's tenure as mayor was scandal-free; however, his conservative politics and pro-business positions were frequently controversial in Portland, a city with strong progressive leanings. Ivancie opposed the development of the popular Pioneer Courthouse Square, on the grounds that the square would become a gathering place for transients. He oversaw the construction of the Portland Building and advocated construction of wells to back up the Bull Run Watershed—the city's primary source of drinking water. Much of the construction of the original MAX Blue Line occurred during his tenure.
Defeat in 1984[edit]
In 1983, a coalition of progressive activists in the city, disenchanted with Ivancie's politics, sought out a challenger to run against Ivancie in the 1984 mayoral election. This was a proposition that local political observers[who?] considered unlikely to succeed, given Ivancie's strong political connections with local business interests, The Oregonian, and organized labor. They found an unlikely candidate in J. E. "Bud" Clark, a local tavern owner and former beatnik. Clark announced his candidacy less than six months before the May 1984 election, but was widely dismissed as a "joke" candidate who had no chance to win the election.[citation needed] However, dissatisfaction among Portlanders was running high – the economy was in recession and crime was on the rise.
In March 1984—two months prior to the election—Clark trailed Ivancie by 35 points in one poll. However, the Clark campaign put together a large number of volunteers who canvassed the city. After an early May poll by The Oregonian showed the race tied, the Ivancie campaign replied with negative advertisements questioning Clark's religious beliefs (Clark has claimed to be a "born again pagan"). The ads offended Portland voters, who elected Clark to be the next mayor on May 15, by a margin of 13 points.[3][4]
Post-1984 political career[edit]
After the defeat, Ivancie briefly turned to national politics, heading up the Oregon branch of Democrats for Reagan; after Ronald Reagan's re-election, Ivancie was named to the Federal Maritime Commission. After this, he retired from politics and moved to California.[4] He stayed out of the Portland public eye until 2007, when then-mayor Tom Potter proposed an amendment to the Portland city charter to convert the city from a commission form of government to a strong-mayor system. Ivancie, along with Bud Clark, lent support to those opposing the charter amendment;[5] the proposal would go down to defeat.

KHTS Sports staff takes a close look at the local football scene.
Santa Clarita is just a few weeks away from the start of the local High School and College of the Canyons football seasons, and to help set the stage for what is sure to be a dramatic fight for first place, KHTS AM-1220 will be broadcasting a special football preview show.
On Monday, August 24th at 7:00 p.m. KHTS Sports personalities Jason Galvin, Tim Haddock and Joe Soriano will weigh in on each local football team and talk about what to watch for.
Joining them in studio will be the newest faces in the foothill league; 1st year coaches Andy Campbell (Golden Valley) and Sean O'Brien (West Ranch). Hart quarterback CJ Reyes will also be on hand for the broadcast, along with other special guests.
Will the Valencia Vikings be the team to beat this year? How will the Canyon Cowboys stack up? Can the Saugus Centurions rebound after losing two major playmakers? Will this be a break out year for the Golden Valley Grizzlies? Can the West Ranch Wildcats put in a serious bid for the foothill league title? Can College of the Canyons again be state champions? These questions and more will all be addressed on the one hour preview show.
A podcast of the program will be available on hometownstation.com within 24 hours of the original airing.
Also, be sure to check out the complete football broadcast schedule to see which games KHTS AM-1220 will air live during the season. That information can be found at:

I don't twit and you won't find my face in a book.
I have enough things on my plate taking care of my own life to ever even think about having the time to follow someone around like cattle; nor do I think I'm important enough for someone to have to keep tabs on me.
You hear me IRS?!?! I'M NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH!!!
Personally, Twitter and Facebook are no different than Geocities, Angelfire, MySpace, etc. In time, they will die out and fall by the wayside. I think the masses are getting into "Casual Internet"; technology tech geeks have been using for a decade before them and really don't care, but now become big news because the masses just got a hold of it.

I have a twitter page and like to follow actors, comedians and writers. the ones I find most interesting at the moment are; Nathan Fillion, Simon Pegg, Neil Gaiman, Neil Patrick Harris, John Cusack is a twitter fiend and Derren Brown is too. It's weird to think you have a live feed on what goes on in their heads. Most of the time I wonder if the updates are done by their PA or even someone in a PR office, but these guys always seem genuine. It's a nice distraction every now and then but I mostly forget I have an account and I only comment on it if I'm bored, like I am here now

I swear by Twitter. At first I was a little confused by the concept of it, but now that I have gotten a hold on all of the possibilities with this social networking, I am officially obsessed. You can follow anyone, anything, any company, service, product and get constant updated news and information regarding who/what you follow. It is the most efficient way to keep yourself informed. By being limited on the characters allowed in a post, people can easily find the focus on the links/posts in a tweet and only need to read what they are interested in. It is easily the most sufficient site in modern technology. I highly advise using it and following as many people/things as possible!

I love Twitter, mainly for talking with people and stalking... I mean following other artists. I like to look at what other people are creating and its nice to have a feed to go check and get inspired. I also use Tumblr for the same reasons.
Through twitter, I have found new music to listen to and also learned about indie film projects and other cool things. I think you have to make it work for you and use it in a beneficial way. Remove the whole "scoring freelance work" and "marketing" aspect from your mind and just enjoy it I say.
Post work, chat, mingle... its like a micro version of a forum.

Colbie Caillat and Common?
On paper, a recorded collaboration between the perpetually summery singer-songwriter from Malibu and the maverick Chicago hip-hop star seems almost as unlikely as fleeting YouTube star Rebecca Black throwing down some rhymes about life in the 'hood with Lil Wayne or Young Jeezy.
But the Grammy Award-winning Caillat does indeed duet with Common on "Favorite Song," a cut from her third album, last year's "All of You." That she does so without embarrassing herself — or Common — is to her credit, although it's clear she isn't about to abandon her perky, radio-friendly formula of brightly tuneful melodies and mostly upbeat, singsong lyrics. Even when she's feeling down "in her darkened room," the resolution she reaches is to "Think Good Thoughts" (to invoke the title of another song from "All of You").
Of course, there's nothing wrong with self-affirmative optimism in this increasingly dark world. And while I prefer music that digs deep into the gray areas between happy and sad, introspection and dejection, there's little doubt Caillat owes much of her success to her buoyant sound and generally cheery outlook.
Both will be on display when this Grammy Award-winning troubadour performs tonight at Pala Casino's 21-and-up Infinity Showroom. Common, I can safely predict, will not jump on stage to drop a rap, bust a move or do anything else.
Rock singer turned pop sensation Storm Large's career has been bubbling over in a very big way, thanks to Pink Martini. Last April, Large (her real name) assumed lead vocal duties in Pink Martini for four sold-out concerts at the Kennedy Center that teamed the group with the National Symphony Orchestra.
"I did it by the seat of my pants," said Large, who had barely a week to learn two-dozen songs — in four languages — for the Kennedy Center gig.
Large spent much of 2011 touring with Pink Martini, subbing for the group's longtime singer, China Forbes, who was recovering from vocal surgery. Large was with Pink Martini when the 13-piece "mini-orchestra" performed here in November at the Balboa Theatre and on New Year's Eve at Disney Hall in Los Angeles. Both those shows featured Club Blue, the award-winning marching band from Chula Vista's Bonita Vista High School.
"Those kids are great! I hope they can play with me at Anthology," said Large, 42, who performs tonight at the plush downtown club with her trio.
The gig comes on the heels of her unusually candid autobiography, "Crazy Enough: A Memoir," which in turn follows her near-star-making gig as a finalist on the TV series "Rock Star: Supernova" in 2006.

Good Vibes across America- Spot the Sexologist on her East Coast Tour!
Good Vibrations' Staff Sexologist Dr. Queen Hits the Road
San Francisco (October 8th, 2013): Good Vibrations' Staff Sexologist Dr. Carol Queen brings her unique blend of entertaining sex education to the East Coast this week in a series of appearances at colleges, festivals, and Good Vibrations' retail store in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Following her presentation The story of sex-positive culture: how ideas about sexual freedom and diversity became a movement at Simmons College on October 7th, Queen goes to MIT to speak to the graduate consortium in women's studies on October 8th. Entitled What Women and Other People Need From dirty Movies, Queen will explore what pornography teaches us about sexuality, gender roles, and norms and asks what we want from our smut.
College students can catch Dr. Queen in a more informal setting at CollegeFest on Saturday, October 12th and 13th where she will be answering sex questions and discussing sex and safety. Visitors to the Good Vibrations booth can spin the Wheel of Pleasure and win free prizes to compliment their education.
The education keeps coming with her presentation of The Top 10 Little-Known Facts about Sex and Pleasure at the Good Vibrations Brookline store on Monday, October 14th. Drop in and learn some game-changing fun facts about sexual arousal and response, technique, and anatomy. Get a better understanding of your body (and the bodies of people with whom you might find yourself in a sexual situation) and make orgasms stronger and easier to attain.
Good Vibrations, the trusted San Francisco Bay Area based company, has been providing comprehensive sexual health outreach workshops to local universities and community organizations for over 36 years. This year the company is pleased to launch its re-branded outreach program: Good Vibrations Sexual Health Outreach Workshops (GVSHOW).
"I'm delighted to participate in the current conversation about sex, education and culture, and these are great opportunities to reach a variety of people. Whether it's at MIT or Good Vibrations, I look forward to a lot of meaningful conversations and exciting exchange of ideas." says Staff Sexologist Dr. Carol Queen.
From in-store presentations to off-site workshops, lectures and events, Good Vibrations' Sexual Health Outreach Workshops provide answers to tough questions, present up-to-date and accurate sex information, promote pleasure exploration, and build community dialogue. We work hard at bringing you pleasure so you don't have to!

34 year old woman | Washington, DC, USA | Seeking men 28-38 within 50 miles
Keep it real and simple : )
I am outgoing, warm, and passionate about life. As far as we know we are here once and i hope to make the best out of this experience called life. For me the journey is just as important as the goal. We spend most of our time working towards something why not enjoy the process of getting there? I am curious about people, places and things. Always looking for an opportunity to learn something new and explore new places. I find joy in the simple things in like dinner with friends, a good cup of coffee, a walk with my dog or a night stroll around the city. I lived in different places up and down the East and West coast, now I call DC home. Came here after graduate school to work for the government working to address public health concerns. I love work but it's not my life. I enjoy my free time and try to keep boundaries between my work and personal life. Things i rather not live without: family, sunshine, food, smiling, walking in the city, hiking, books, and my little dog Berkeley. On the relationship front friendship has to come first, I'm looking for someone that can make me smile ( i can be a silly) and who loves me for me. It takes two whole people to make a good relationship. I'm interested in someone who is light hearted and genuine. In terms of personality, i'm looking for someone with character, that's kind to others and who values life and everything that comes with it. Someone i respect independent of the relationship. I'm giving online dating a chance although it goes against my old school ways, lets see how it goes.
Alumni connections , Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques
Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
Rock Creek Park ,Tryst Coffee House in Adams Morgan, Rice Restaurant, and Stroga.
Love all types of movies it all depends on the night. and my mood. Some of my favorite shows include Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Mad Men.
In my free time i like to do Yoga, take long walks with my dog, dinner with friends, reading, and cooking.
I'm readying Outliers and Blink is next.

Volkswagen Touareg TDI - Clean Diesel is Good Clean Fun
Volkswagen is obviously doing something right. Globally, they are the world's #3 automaker and in the 1st quarter of 2009, they outsold everyone, including Toyota, to be the top selling automobile manufacturer in the world!
Recently, VW has added a clean diesel, high fuel economy TDI option to their large SUV the Touareg. It is a big, roomy and very capable truck that can be fitted out in a luxurious fashion. Volkswagen has a successful and long heritage in diesel engine production. Over 50% of VW's vehicle sales in Europe are now diesels.
The new Touareg TDI comes with a new 3.0 liter turbo diesel V6 engine. It is a modern common rail system that uses high pressure to atomize the fuel. This produces a very quiet, clean, odorless and smokeless engine.
The new 3.0 TDI engine is an aluminum 90 degree V6 with 221 horsepower and a huge 406 foot pounds of torque, all of which is available at a low 1,750 rpm's. That kind of monster torque effortlessly pulls the substantial Touareg down the road with no hesitation thanks in part to the 6 speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. This SUV will accelerate to 60 miles an hour in a respectable 8.5 seconds and still has a 7,700 pound towing capacity.
The EPA fuel economy rating is 17 city and 25 highway which is considerably less than what I experienced. During a 100 mile jaunt through the North Carolina and Virginia hilly countryside, admittedly at low speeds, my average according to the on-board trip computer was 30.2 mpg. For a luxury 5,000 pound full-time-all-wheel-drive SUV, that's pretty amazing.
One of the reasons that a new diesel was introduced in the Touareg is because of vehicle emission regulation. This new TDI is a 50 state compliant "clean diesel". That means that it meets all government emissions standard for every state in the country.
Apart from the diesel technology, the Touareg has many compelling features. The interior is spacious and the seating is inviting. The ride is very comfortable and controlled especially with the available air suspension. Additionally, a nice navigation system with a 30 GB hard drive is available, plus real wood interior trim, a Dynadio music system, a rear view camera and dynamic cruise control.
An omission on the Touareg is a ventilated seat option. They are neither complicated nor expensive anymore and though they might not seem important to Northern European product planners, to those of us in the southern half of the U.S. and other warm climates, they are highly desirable and an expected feature in a vehicle of this class.
The price of the TDI is $42,000 and the diesel option is a $3,500 upcharge over the gas V6 model. There is however a $1,050 Federal Government tax credit, not a deduction but a credit, along with dramatically improved fuel economy that will easily offset the TDI cost. Apart from the financial considerations, the TDI is a pleasant and enjoyable vehicle to drive.

Third U.S. victim identified in Peru plane crash
By Mariana Bazo
PUCALLPA, Peru (Reuters) – A third American was identified
among the dead after a plane crash in a swamp in the Peruvian
jungle as searchers swarmed over the wreckage on Thursday, some
trying to help, others seeking to loot.
Police said torrential rain had hampered the search for an
Australian woman and two other people, still unaccounted for
after a TANS Boeing 737-200 crashed in a freak hailstorm in
Peru's northern jungle on Tuesday, killing 40.
The plane was reduced to chunks of charred rubble and body
parts were strewn about, yet more than half the 98 passengers
and crew miraculously survived.
Officials said it was too early to say why the plane
crashed, but suggested bad weather or pilot error may have been
to blame.
Six of the victims have still not been named but TANS
spokesman Jorge Belevan said an American woman had now been
identified. The death toll already included two Americans, a
man and a woman, as well as a Spanish woman, a Colombian woman
and the pilot.
"One Italian person is apparently also among the remains
still to be identified," Belevan said. "There is a lot of
confusion because in some cases pieces of human remains are in
one bag or two," he told Reuters.
Hundreds of people swarmed knee-deep in mud over the
wrecked fuselage — some hunting for the black box, some for
the three missing victims and others scavenging for loot or
Thousands of bank notes — wages being flown in for police
officers — littered the site.
People were seen walking down the street in Pucallpa, the
town near the crash site, carrying seats and metal rods.
Several locals said police had promised a reward for
whoever finds one of the plane's two black boxes, but this was
not confirmed. One flight recorder has already been found.
Distraught relatives said the morgue was overwhelmed.
"There are dead people thrown on the floor, people with no
arms," one woman told RPP radio.
In Lima, dozens of relatives wept as the coffins of their
loved ones were flown in on an air force plane, which also
carried 19 of those injured in crash.
Belevan said relatives of the dead would receive about
$100,000 compensation.
Survivors, including a 9-year-old girl who rescued her baby
cousin and a man who watched his skin shrivel as a fireball
swept the plane, told stories of heroism and horror.
They said the flight was routine until the plane hit
turbulence about 10 minutes before landing and fell sharply.
"The plane was shaking and it was hailing hard, with the
ice like marbles, and we asked ourselves if we should really be
trying to land in such harsh weather," said U.S. tourist
Gabriel Vivas, 41, from Brooklyn. "It just didn't feel right."
Vivas, who was traveling with five family members who all
survived, added: "As we were walking, I saw a one-year-old baby
lying outside the plane in the mud, all bruised and with a
broken arm. I went back and picked it up and we pushed our way
through the brush. I knew I had to help save it."
Peru's Trade and Tourism Minister Alfredo Ferrero blamed
bad weather but said the Andean country — which attracts
millions of tourists every year — must upgrade its airlines.
"Air safety in Peru is nonexistent. Everyone knows that
getting on a plane in Peru is an adventure," said lawmaker
Jacques Rodrich, a member of Congress' transport commission.
Many of Peru's airports are little more than airstrips and
only the international airport in Lima has radar.
TANS, founded in the 1960s by the air force to help serve
remote jungle communities, became a commercial airline in 1998
but is heavily in debt. The crashed plane was built in 1983.
Peru has said it has had preliminary contacts about selling

Welcome to my website! Over the next few pages you will find out about mindfulness-based professional trainings and mindfulness meditation in general.
There are many reasons why more and more people are becoming interested in the practice of mindfulness meditation. Much of this increased interest is being fueled by results from scientific and clinical studies that are increasing our understanding of how the practice of mindfulness can help with stress, chronic illnesses and specific mental health issues such as depression, prolonged periods of sadness or sustained levels of anxiety.

Tier One Polyester Line Review

First off, Centerforward71 thanks for making the effort of reviewing our products. We would like to add one piece of information to this post about our co-polyester strings (and this might be applicable to many other new co-polys on the market). Although tennis strings are a very subjective matter (as long as the fundamental quality of the string is good), and players of different ages and different levels usually prefer their strings to have certain characteristics (control, power, spin potential, recoil, feel, arm-friendliness, tension stability, durability, etc.), string tension plays a crucial factor for a tennis string to perform best. Although, for example, we have received great reviews from high level players that string a full set of Tour Status at 40 lbs and 58 lbs, in general, it appears that the new generation of co-polyester perform best at around 48 - 52 lbs.

Yeah....sorry to admit this too, but that's exactly what it felt like.
I hope there is something. I mentioned it in another thread, and it would only seem right. Yeah, I got a head-start as I'm T2 now, so you could call it that, but I could have been much farther ahead and I could have done without the disconnects and logon queue debacle.
Well I can't be in too much of a rush to get ahead though. I'm not expecting a massive ton of content so I just better sit back and enjoy the ride more casually.

1.0-8776 causing system lock
1 Attachment(s)
Ok, my problem seems to stem from using dual X sessions using the VGA and DVI out on my Geforce 7300LE (128MB onboard, support for 256MBs) some where my system said it was using 512MBs but i don't recall where it was.
When i have DVI hooked up, my system with randomly hard lock requiring hard reboot, the locks are random some times it can go a couple days, sometimes it can go 2 minutes.
I did a vigirous stress test on my system, using glxgears running on both screens, and enlarged them both to about half screen size (1280x1024 VGA, 1280x720 DVI/DFP), and it ran for a full 1 minute and 46 seconds on the DVI and 1 minute 29 seconds on the VGA befor full system lock.
I have noticed that it will run for roughly 2 hours while playing a video using XV and it tends to run less using XVMC though i haven't been able to determine just how much less.
I'm running Ubuntu with a custom compiled SMP kernel from the lastest Ubuntu kernel source.
AMD x64 x2 3800+ 2Ghz, 1GB DDR2 800, nothing is overclocked, all tempatures are well under safe ranges, power is solid.
I've done multiply editing of the xorg.conf to try and see if it was one of the other solutions but i have some up with nothing.
Re: 1.0-8776 causing system lock
also i am running the 64-bit kernel, I don't have a 32-bit kernel to test with.
I've also tried multiply boot options, acpi=off noapci noapic nolapci, pci=nommconf, ect with no effect.
I'm waiting on my RMA of a different motherboard to test if its the MB, getting a NForce, rather then this stupid VIA which i had to patch the kernel to get DMA working.
and its not the ram Memtest86 passed with no errors
Re: 1.0-8776 causing system lock
Just out of curiosity, what motherboard do you have?
Re: 1.0-8776 causing system lock
Asrock AM2V890 AM2, PCIE, VT8237a chipset, VIA K8T890
Re: 1.0-8776 causing system lock
it would seem its not just the DVI that is causing the lockup, as i now have my second screen hooked up via the s-video and it also locks up.
If this continues after i receive the new motherboard (provided its not defective again) i'll see about RMAing this card as no one seems to have come up with any ideas on the cause.
Re: 1.0-8776 causing system lock
Just because it seems remotely relevant, I'm having a similar problem. I'm very seriously considering trying a different video card, just to see what happens. (Hell, maybe I'll break down and buy a super-cheap ATi just so i can see if it's an nVidia driver problem or just a motherboard issue.)

Craig Lewis had been threatened with violence by the dealer around the time he assaulted Kieron Barley causing brain damage, the judge said.
Lewis, who is in his early 30s and comes from Birmingham, was given an eight-year jail term by Judge William Davis QC at a hearing at Birmingham Crown Court last month after admitting manslaughter and causing grievous bodily harm. His partner, Louise Barley, who is in her mid-20s, was given a 15-month prison term after admitting child cruelty.
But details of some of the problems Lewis had been facing at the time of Kieron's death in June 2011 have emerged in a ruling published by Mrs Justice Eleanor King following litigation in a civil court.
She had heard evidence at the Family Division of the High Court in Birmingham in early 2013 following the launch of litigation involving Lewis, Barley and a local authority. She delivered a ruling in late March 2013 but that was kept under wraps while criminal proceedings ran their course.
The judge ruled that "on the balance of probabilities" Lewis had assaulted Kieron on May 28, 2011 and June 19, 2011. She also concluded Barley was "guilty of failing to protect" Kieron.
The judge said on June 6, 2011 doctors had revealed that he had cerebral palsy.
The judge said that in addition to the pressure he was under from the drug dealer, Lewis was also having to deal with the "acknowledgement that there was something seriously amiss with" Keiron.

Ogando goes 6 shutout innings, Texas beats Seattle
ARLINGTON, Texas Alexi Ogando punched his glove and bounced off the mound, punctuating the last out the right-hander would get in a nearly flawless first major league start for the Texas Rangers.
Ogando pitched six scoreless innings and Texas remained undefeated with a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night in a matchup of first-time major league starters.
"I think you've seen two coming stars," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "You saw well-pitched games on both sides."
Defending American League champion Texas improved to 5-0, its best start since winning the first seven games in 1996. The Rangers are the first team in the majors to five wins - the only other undefeated teams are Baltimore (4-0) and Cincinnati (4-0).
A standout reliever last season, Ogando (1-0) allowed only two hits and struck out four, the last being Jack Cust for his final out despite a developing blister on his index finger.
Michael Pineda (0-1) struck out four and walked one in his major league debut. He gave up five hits, four of them for extra bases. None of them were home runs by the Rangers, who hit 13 balls out of the park their first four games.
"He was poised out there," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "He should feel real good about it, the way he pitched, the way he controlled the game. We couldn't have asked for a better outing."
The 22-year-old Pineda became the first Seattle pitcher to make his major league debut in a start since Felix Hernandez on Aug. 4, 2005. Pineda, the first Mariners rookie to be in the opening day rotation since Freddy Garcia in 1999, stuck out four and walked one.
Nelson Cruz, who had homered in each of the Rangers' first four games, drew a two-out walk in the second and scored on a standup triple by Mitch Moreland.
Josh Hamilton, the reigning AL MVP, had a run-scoring double in the sixth and scored what proved to be the deciding run on a double by Michael Young.
Center fielder Julio Borbon made a diving, runs-saving catch to end the seventh after the Mariners had already scored twice against a pair of relievers and had the bases loaded. The ball hit by Milton Bradley was slicing away from Borbon when he fully extended his body to catch it inches off the ground.
Neftali Feliz worked a perfect ninth for his second save in two chances.
Ogando is a converted outfielder who excelled out of the bullpen last season, when he was 4-1 with a 1.30 ERA in 44 appearances before pitching in five postseason games. The 27-year-old right-hander made three starts last summer for Double-A Frisco, but his other 56 minor league appearances were as a reliever.
The Rangers planned to keep Ogando in the bullpen this season, but Tommy Hunter strained his right groin the last week of spring training in Arizona - on the same day he was told he was in the starting rotation. Plus, former NL Cy Young Award winner Brandon Webb isn't ready yet in his comeback from shoulder surgery that has kept him from pitching in the majors since the 2009 opener for Arizona.

Update: Jennings (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writer Tyler Dunne reports.
Recommendation: Jennings has been making limited practice appearances this week, so a return seems very near. Even if Sunday turns out to be the day, however, Jennings will be a big fantasy risk. The Packers have a lot of depth at receiver, and it wouldn't surprise if they limit his snaps in his first game or two back.

Making a check list on Federer's racket PJs used in GS

There is no definitive answer/explanation/source that will settle the debate whether the retail K90 is Federer's actual frame underneath all those PJs. Some believe the retail K90 was the "custom" 90 already in existence long ago disguised by various the PJs.
If you peruse the comments in a thread I coincidentally started several months ago regarding this subject (
), and based on other evidence, photos (e.g., see Fabfed's posts), interviews by Fed himself, info deemed from Federer's stringers (Priority 1), responses by members of this board, etc., there is a strong argument that what is claimed about the K90 (that it is the actual frame Fed uses/ed) is true and accurate.
That said, however, as with most things in life, there is an opposing camp that steadfastly opposes this fact.
Regardless, what is a known fact is that Federer did use the actual retail PS Tour 90 for a brief time (even at the French Open which I noted in my chart).
FYI, on a related note, if you're just talking about actual, retail rackets that Fed used (not the PJ) in his career, then the following list should be acknowledged:
1. PS 6.0 85 Mid-Production Chinese
3. *K90, i.e., the custom 90 he won all the Grand Slams with (*caveat here for obvious reasons!)
In any case, it's all pretty interesting (to me at least).

Adept Powder Coating Branches Out.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA has a well-earned reputation for being the nation's bellwether of environmental regulations. The harsh reality of this claim to fame is known all too well by local woodworking companies, which were saddled with the burden of reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds in their finishing operations several years before their brethren in other parts of the country were forced to do so.
To comply with the South Coast Air Quality District's environmental crackdown, many woodworking shops turned to water-based finishes. Others adopted UV curing of high solids finishes, quit finishing and switched to laminating or, in the most extreme cases, shuttered their doors and moved to Mexico.
Last fall, Adept Powder Coatings took a different tack toward achieving finishing compliance while simultaneously aiming for new markets when it signed on as a Certified Lamineer Applicator with Morton International. In doing so, the company, which was originally formed in March of 1998 to apply VOC-free powder coatings on metal truck parts for SmittyBilt, has extended its service reach to coat MDF cabinet doors, juvenile furniture, stereo speaker boxes and other engineered wood products.
Getting Started in Powder Finishing
Adept Powder Coatings is run by partners Tom Smith, former owner of SmittyBilt; Phil Clemmons and Andy Starritt. Clemmons says he approached Smith with the idea of installing a metal powder coating line about three years ago.
"SmittyBilt was growing so much over the last five years or so that it got to the point where they needed an in-house powder coating line," Clemmons recalls. "The more we talked about it, the more we were brought together as partners to develop a new company specializing in powder coating to service SmittyBilt and other metal customers," Clemmons says.
Adept's 35,000-square-foot operation shares a building with SmittyBilt. In fact, an extension of Adept's overhead conveyor connecting to the finishing line runs through an opening in the wall that separates the two businesses.
Clemmons says as installation of the metal powder coating progressed, his partners and he began hearing about Morton's Lamineer powder coating for MDF.
"I actually played around with spraying wood with metal powder coatings some years back but never had much success at it," Clemmons says. "But I was interested in finding out more about the newest development."
In addition to talking with his Morton representatives, who already were furnishing Adept with metal powder coatings, Clemmons says he got in touch with Sierra Pine, which was developing a new MDF panel designed specifically for powder coating.
"I was impressed by what I learned and because we had open capacity on the line, we decided to spend an additional $500,000 on top of our initial $1.5 million investment to reengineer our line, including our ovens and gun setup, so that we could coat wood as well as metal," Clemmons says.
"The powder coating market is tough out here in Southern California," Clemmons adds. "Every ma and pa shop seems to be doing metal. The ability to do wood, as well as metal, using our high-volume line or batch ovens, enhances our competitive position."
More Than 500,000 MDF Parts Powder Coated
Just over a year ago, Adept christened its commercial wood powder coating capabilities by finishing 3,000 children's desktops in red and blue. Since then, the company has powder coated more than 500,000 MDF parts with the lion's share comprising one-piece MDF doors for a high-volume cabinet manufacturer.
"Wood coating is totally new and it's very interesting and challenging," Clemmons says. "Powder loves metal, but wood does not love powder. We can use a lot of information that we learned from coating metal for wood but there are a lot of nuances that need to be factored in if you are going to attain consistent results in finishing wood."
Achieving consistency begins with the quality of the substrate and the machining perfection of the part, Clemmons says. "The single biggest cause of part rejects in powder coating relates to the moisture content of the wood," Clemmons says. "If the substrate has too much moisture it will blister through the coating. If it has too little moisture the coating will not adhere."
In lieu of owning woodworking equipment, Adept has established a subcontractual relationship with Diamond Woodworks in Lake Elsinore, CA, to machine wood parts. "We buy the board, they do the routing and we finish and sell the finished component," he says.
The Powder Process
To illustrate this relationship, Clemmons says profiled one-piece cabinet doors are machined on a CNC router at Diamond Woodworks plant before making their 20-minute journey by truck to Adept. There, Adept employees drill holes in the back of each part so that they can be hung by hook on the conveyor. Each part is visually inspected for any signs of damage and surface dust is blown off with compressed air in a Dust Hog sanding booth.
Pallet loads of cleaned-up doors are moved to the finishing line and hung one after the other on the overhead conveyor; up to four doors are suspended vertically in line to maximize production.
The suspended parts move into a preheat oven set at about 400F. The 12-minute journey through the oven helps ensure that the moisture content is stabilized and consistent throughout each workpiece.
Upon leaving the preheat oven, the pieces immediately enter the company's spray booths where two sets of six to eight ITW Gema automatic electrostatic spray guns apply a textured Lamineer powder coated finish to each side of the workpieces. The spray booth is housed in a dust-proof, temperature controlled environmental room.
As soon as the doors exit the spray booth, they travel through a curing oven set at about 425F for eight minutes. The doors remain on the hooks to air cool. Once they reach about 100F they are unhooked and stacked.
The one value-added machining operation that Adept performs Involves drilling European hinge holes. "We learned that if we bore the hinge fittings before finishing, that taking a big chunk out of the substrate leaves that area very thin," Clemmons says. "It gets very hot and changes the total cosmetics of the front side."
Why Powder Coating?
"Vinyl laminating is a good process and is very flexible in terms of design pallet because you can't currently do woodgrains or highgloss finishes with powder coating," Clemmons says. "However, powder coating gives you much greater freedom in terms of the wild shapes and profiles you can do without any seams."
Clemmons adds, "If you look at the physical properties side by side, the two applications are almost a push. Vinyl might win out for hardness but powder, because it is seamless, wins out for heat and moisture resistance. Plus, cost is always a driving factor and powder wins out because there is little waste, requires no glue and overspray can be reclaimed and resprayed.
"Powder coating is not for everybody, but I think that some of the limitations that exist now will be addressed by future research and development. And from an environmental standpoint, I don't think powder coating can be beat."

Here at the Nashville Scene Election Center, as we were tabulating the votes for the 12th annual Country Music Critics' Poll, it quickly became clear that this year's contest was shaping up as a two-person race: Miranda Lambert the solo artist vs. Miranda Lambert the trio artist.
The two contenders offered strikingly different visions of country music to the poll's 77 voting journalists. The solo Lambert was campaigning on a broad-based platform designed to win over independents and moderates with a mix of Hot Country arena rock, alt-country poignancy and countrypolitan balladry. The trio Lambert, by contrast, appealed to her party's base by focusing on a consistently traditional, stripped-down, twangy sound.
The result was something of a split decision. Pistol Annies, Lambert's trio with Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, won the Album of the Year voting with their debut effort, Hell on Heels, which established a comfortable lead over Lambert's No. 2 album, Four the Record. The title track from the Pistol Annies' album was voted the No. 2 single — edging Lambert's No. 3 "Baggage Claim" but falling short of Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter's No. 1 "You and Tequila." Pistol Annies were voted the Best Group or Duo and the Best New Artist, but Lambert was named the Best Female Vocalist, Best Songwriter and Artist of the Year.
Other big winners in the poll included Eric Church, Hayes Carll, Sunny Sweeney, Brad Paisley, The Civil Wars, Gillian Welch, Taylor Swift and the late Johnny Cash. But when you added her solo and trio votes together, Lambert (see sidebar on p. 14) dominated the Country Music Critics' Poll this year more than any artist ever has — more than Jamey Johnson did in 2010 and 2008, more than the solo Lambert did in 2009 and 2007, even more than The Dixie Chicks did in 2006 and 2002. And she did it not with the kind of middlebrow seriousness and sentimentality that win so many Oscars and Grammys but with unabashedly irreverent humor.
The title track from Hell on Heels, for example, rewrites Steve Martin's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels as an all-female, all-hillbilly production. The three women — Lambert casting herself as Lone Star Annie, Monroe as Hippie Annie and Presley as Holler Annie — take turns bragging about how they fleeced one rich man after another with ingenious con jobs.
They present themselves as polar alternatives to the pious Carrie Underwoods and Lady Antebellums of the world by bellowing out on another song: "Who in the hell's gonna pay these bills when one's drinkin', one's smokin', one's takin' pills?" Nearly as funny and irreverent is the solo Lambert, who delights in singing about a cross-dressing congressman, a promise-breaking, shoe-gazing fiancé and a '65 muscle car packed with a whiskey bottle and loaded gun.
Humor has always been a constant in country music, but sometimes it gets submerged beneath goody-two-shoes earnestness, especially when Music Row is gripped by dreams of crossover success and dresses up as if going to church — and later the bank. This has been true in recent years as country radio has tried to position itself as a refuge for socially conservative, well-heeled, mall-shopping suburbanites. Country playlists have been dominated lately by self-righteous, breast-beating songs where fathers and wives are implausibly perfect saints and where dirt roads and fishing ponds were a way of life threatened by heartless city slickers. (Who are these phantom enemies? How come I, who live amid urban liberals, have never met one of these back-road-haters in the flesh?)
But whenever country music becomes too pompous, too bloated, a hillbilly singer with a sharpened needle always comes along to pop the balloon. And it wasn't just Lambert, Monroe and Presley who were wielding barbs this year. Eric Church (No. 1 Male Vocalist, No. 3 Live Act, No. 5 Songwriter, No. 6 Artist of the Year and No. 7 Single) popped a few overinflated assumptions himself with the drinking tales on his No. 3 album Chief. This isn't the standard-issue fare of tough guys downing shots, but rather the sheepish confessions of a guy who messed up after "Jack Daniel's kicked my ass again last night."
Hayes Carll (No. 3 Songwriter, No. 5 Artist of the Year, No. 7 Male Vocalist) pushes the limits even further on his No. 4 album KMAG YOYO. Carll presents himself as a screw-up in the army (the title comes from Army slang: "Kiss my ass, guys, you're on your own"), as a target of his girlfriend's vicious insults and as a songwriter who "ain't a poet, just a drunk with a pen." On her No. 8 album, Concrete, Sunny Sweeney (No. 2 Female Vocalist) mixes alcohol and marriage with hilarious results, warning her inattentive husband that she's going to "Drink Myself Single" and allow "The Old Me" out of the closet if he doesn't watch out.
Lambert, Pistol Annies, Church, Carll and Sweeney weren't the only impolite comedians in country music this year, but they were the best. Because they knew it takes more than a good joke to earn a laugh; the music has to be part of the setup. If you're poking fun at human foibles, you're sabotaging yourself if your backing music is polished within an inch of perfection, compressed to an unchanging blob of sound and processed with enough effects to kill any pretense of spontaneity. Unfortunately, many would-be funny country songs were burdened by such production values this year — and by not particularly clever punch lines. Nothing is more excruciating than a song that tries to be funny but isn't.
The five acts above, however, know how to match let-it-hang-out commentary to let-it-hang-out music. Even though their five albums were careful studio constructions, they held back on the overdubs, compression and effects enough that you could hear dynamic differences between quiet and loud — you could hear a separation of instruments, and you could hear small mistakes and spontaneous gestures. There's an element of unpredictability in these performances — and that's an element crucial to comedy.
Brad Paisley (No. 1 Live Act, No. 2 Male Vocalist, No. 4 Artist of the Year, No. 9 Songwriter, No. 12 Single) knows how to deliver a funny song, as he does with "Camouflage," "Working on a Tan," "Toothbrush" and "Don't Drink the Water" on his No. 7 album This Is Country Music. But after his boldest, most ambitious release, 2009's American Saturday Night, this new album seems like a well-crafted but utterly safe retrenchment to consolidate his commercial base. That's a reasonable trade-off, but you can't expect critical huzzahs for such a move.
No one could deliver a comic song better than Johnny Cash, whose mock seriousness made preposterous lyrics even funnier before he allowed a sly smile at the end. You can hear his dry chuckle beneath "Jackson" and "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal" on the previously unreleased live recordings that make up his 2011 release, Bootleg Vol. III: Live Around the World, voted the year's No. 1 Reissue. You'd have thought that Columbia had already released every known Johnny Cash recording by now, but the label found 53 for this compilation and 57 more for Bootleg Vol. II: From Memphis to Hollywood, voted the No. 5 Reissue.
Comedy gets no respect from the Oscars and Grammys, but the Country Music Critics' Poll voters know that a funny song can illuminate human behavior as effectively as a sad one. If the greatest art explores the gap between the way the world should be and the way it actually is — or the gap between the way we see ourselves and the way we actually are — a sad song can reveal how painful our frustrations can be, but a funny song can show how ridiculous our shortcomings and hypocrisies can be. Each approach gets at a different kind of truth.
One could argue that in an era of housing foreclosures, mass layoffs and callous attitudes, comedy is out of place, what we need is a sober exploration of all the pain and cruelty out there. One could argue back, however, that in an era when our ongoing crisis is confronted by sanctimonious prescriptions with no basis in reality — prescriptions that flourish not only on country radio but also on pop radio and talk radio — that comedy is needed more than ever. Think of Carll and Pistol Annies as the hillbilly-music equivalents of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

Rooney said: "We work together in training, on combining with each other and it has really paid off. I think all three of us are suited to United's style of defending, then counter-attacking with pace!
"We don't have one player who just stays up front and stands there. We all like to move around and always try to make it difficult for defenders.
"I think we realise where the space is on the pitch, so when you see a team-mate running into one area, you just run a different way. Part of that is instinct. You naturally move towards a space where you can be a threat to the defence."
Rooney admits he has been overwhelmed by the individual performances of his co-strikers.
He said: "Carlos has been brilliant. His strength is unbelievable and he has that ability to change games for us.
"Cristiano has just been incredible and I'm sure he'll be named World Player of the Year."

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Penny Wolfe Moore, RNC, PhD (Southwestern Adventist University)
Description: This companion book is a small paperback with information about medical conditions arranged in alphabetical order. This edition updates the previous edition published in 1999.
Purpose: This book "is a quick reference to the vital information you need for dealing with conditions commonly seen in the clinical setting. It is designed to be used as a stand-alone reference for nurses in a variety of adult health nursing areas, or as a companion" to the main textbook. These worthy objectives have been met.
Audience: This book will provide students with the factual information they need to develop comprehensive plans of care. Nurses in adult medical-surgical practice will find this a quick reference for direct patient care. Libraries and patient care units will want this book on the shelf.
Features: According to the authors, "The book is divided into two parts. Part I covers special concerns of the clinical nurse, such as nursing care of the dying client and postoperative nursing care. Part II, by far the larger part of the book, provides need-to-know information about the diseases and disorders that nurses in clinical practice encounter most often. Approximately 280 disorders are included, organized alphebetically." The appendixes cover such information as assessment guides, ethical decision making, ECG intrepretation, Internet sources, and communicating in Spanish. There are no illustrations. Each disorder begins with an overview of the problem. Then information about collaborative management is presented with special information for targeted groups, such as women and the elderly as well as cultural and community-based issues.
Assessment: This is an excellent little book. I plan on using it as a gift for the medical-surgical nurses who serve as preceptors for our students. New and seasoned nurses will find this a great little reference book.
