Who would have thought it? These robots have rhythm. In order to get a group of NAO robots to dance in sync, a group of scientists have programmed them to use techniques based on quorum sensing (the way bacteria and some insects communicate). This makes each robot sense what its companions are doing so that it can keep in step, join the dance late, or even recover from a giant human bully knocking it on its behind!

Hello, I am a student at the University of Houston and I am wondering how to sync the Naos to move together in python. I cannot figure it out and I would like so advise on how to do this. Thank You
Hi Bryan! Thanks for your comment. I wrote this post to share something I thought was neat, but I don't have a background in robotics. Maybe you can find something helpful in the original paper (which can be found at http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.2952); Aldebaran Robotics also has a forum dedicated to Nao robots (http://www.aldebaran-robotics.com/Forum/index.html). Best of luck!

Built as an arsenal in 1487, this enormous stone-and-beam hall offers hearty meat platters and a variety of beers and wines in comfortable Germanic chaos. The waitstaff is harried and brisk, especially at lunchtime, when crowds are thick. Unlike the shabbier beer halls in Niederdorf, this one is clean and bourgeois, reflecting its Paradeplatz location. They're not unaccustomed to tourists—menus are posted in English, Japanese, and at least 10 other languages—but locals consider this their home away from home.

The hostess sat us with complete strangers, which is common there, but was new to us. The atmosphere was like something out of a movie. Quite an experience. If you are sitting on the outside of the table, look to the inside for the mustard.

Ramin Bahrani's first documentary short, including an interview with the director.
In 1958, an old man in a big old car begins a journey across England to the sea. His name is Stevens, and for many years he has been the head butler at Darlington Hall, a famous country house. He is going to visit a woman he has not seen in a long time: Miss Kenton, who was once the housekeeper at Darlington. He thinks perhaps she can be persuaded to resume her old position under the hall's new owner, a retired American congressman.
Both Stevens and Darlington Hall are anacronisms. Stevens comes from a tradition of personal service; his goal in life is to serve his employer to the best of his ability, and as we get to know him, we realize that this was his only goal: He allowed it to blind him to all of the other promises of life.
"The Remains of the Day" tells the story of Stevens' trip to the sea, and what he finds there. Along the way, in flashback, we see his memories of the great days at the hall, when Lord Darlington played host to the world's leaders, and it seemed at times the future of Britain was being decided. And slowly we begin to realize that things were not as they seemed, that Darlington was not as wise as he thought, that Stevens was blind to the reality around him.
"The Remains of the Day" is based on the Booker Prize novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, which I would have thought almost unfilmable, until I saw this film. So much of it takes place within Stevens' mind, and it is up to the reader to interpret what the butler remembers: To deduce reality through the filter of a narrow, single-minded man. The reality is that Lord Darlington, in the years before World War II, had great sympathy for Germany, and hoped to bring about a separate peace between Britain and the Nazis. In this he was not precisely evil; he was deluded, short-sighted, easily persuaded by the pieties of genteel racism. He was, as a dinner guest brutally informs him, an amateur, who should have left international relations to the professionals.
The movie has been made by the team of director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant, and writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. After "A Room with a View" and "Howards End," they are at the height of their powers, taking us inside a society where tradition is valued, even at the cost of repressing normal human feelings. The feelings, for example, that Stevens (Anthony Hopkins) might be expected to feel for Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson).
In a British country house of the period, the head butler and the housekeeper would have been equals, roughly speaking, each supervising the two major realms of service. Miss Kenton is clearly attracted to the butler, but he is terrified of intimacy, and sidesteps it through a fanatic devotion to his work. The film demonstrates this in a series of quiet, almost secretive scenes, in which she pushes, and he flees. The most painful, and brilliant, shows Miss Kenton surprising Stevens in his room, reading a book.
What book? she asks. He hides the cover. She pursues him, cornering him, snatching the book away to find it is a best-selling romance.
She had not imagined he read romances! He only reads, he stiffly explains, to improve his vocabulary.
Does Stevens possess any ordinary human feelings? Quite possibly, but something has led him to bury them. We meet his father (Peter Vaughan), himself a butler, who reared the son to a rigid idea of service - so rigid that when the father is actually dying upstairs, Stevens does not abandon his post at an important dinner party.
The motor journey unfolds, as incident and memory reveal one secret after another. We begin to understand the nature of Darlington's behavior. The lord (played by that most urbane and civilized actor James Fox) is not a worldly man (he even recruits Stevens to explain "about the birds the the bees" to a godson who is obviously far beyond a zoological approach to sex). Cultivated and flattered by Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semites, he sponsors "international conferences" that will eventually lead to Darlington Hall being described as a traitor's nest. Does Stevens hear what is discussed at the meetings where he serves? What does he think about it? It is not the butler's place, he explains, to listen to his employer's conversations, or form opinions of them.
As the political disaster of Darlington Hall unfolds, a personal disaster also is in the making. Miss Kenton, discouraged in her approaches to Stevens, eventually bolts from her job. And it is only many years later that she contacts Stevens again, by letter, leading to his motor trip. Perhaps at some place buried deep in the darkness of his hopes, there is the thought that she might . . . still be interested in him? The closing scenes paint a quiet heartbreak. The whole movie is quiet, introspective, thoughtful: A warning to those who put their emotional lives on hold, because they feel their duties are more important. Stevens has essentially thrown away his life in the name of duty. He has used his "responsibilities" as an excuse for avoiding his responsibility to his own happiness.
"The Remains of the Day" is a subtle, thoughtful movie. There are emotional upheavals in it, but they take place in shadows and corners, in secret. It tells a very sad story - three stories, really. Not long ago I praised a somewhat similar film, Martin Scorsese's "The Age of Innocence," also about characters who place duty and position above the needs of the heart. I got some letters from readers who complained the movie was boring, that "nothing happens in it." To which I was tempted to reply: If you had understood what happened in it, it would not have been boring.

From the Publisher:
In 1898 the United States acquired new overseas territories and expanded its influence in geopolitics. Acquisition and expansion did not go unopposed. Hundreds of thousands of Americans rejected their nation's foreign policy calling it imperialism. These dissenters established the first national anti-imperialist movement. In this book Michael Patrick Cullinane tells the story of anti-imperialist activists who resisted the expansion of American power at the turn of the century. He explores new ways of looking at anti-imperial protest and demonstrates that the movement was not a complete failure.

VIP exclusive minifigs
I actually really liket he Fisherman, but not enough to get more than one. I really wish they did come out with some better figs. I actually love the Spartan and sadly I don't even have a Zombie. I also do think it is very weird how all of these are from Series 3, and it sucks since that is the one Series that I have the most of.
Nobody buy this.
maybe it was the top 5 of each series
darthperson You can't really force people not to buy this.
sorax Yah but all of these are from Series 3... so that doesn't really make sense.
Meh, I wished they had put in a spartan, samurai and a Zombie. Looks like I will pass on this.
I agree. I wouldn't get this. Based on past experience, LEGO will probably use cheap plastic, too. Either way, I got two fishermen from the same box just by guessing.....
A lot of people seem pretty peeved about this selection. I, for one, am a bit disappointed that all of the figs are from series 3 when the voting had included all of the first three series, but at the same time the figs included seem decent enough. Meanwhile, it's not that hard to acquire Series 1 and 2 minifigure parts since those have begun to show up in Build-A-Mini stations at LEGO stores, so the Bricklink price of those shouldn't remain excessive forever.
Of these figs, the fisherman is the only one for whom there's no value in army building. I can easily see how these figs were the most popular in the voting out of Series 3 minifigures. The elf is obvious, the Gorilla Suit Guy was fairly popular, the fisherman was (at the time of voting) the rarest fig, the Space Villain has a lot of classic appeal, and the Mummy, which a lot of people seem to dismiss, was at the time the collectible minifigure with the most printing-- face, arms, sides of legs, front of legs, front of torso, and back of torso.
I'm a bit puzzled by the changes in colors. The only ones I can make out are the Fisherman's hat and fish and the Mummy's scorpion, and these all seem to be changed to colors that are more common, not less. Overall, for someone who got most of the Series 3 minifigures, there's not much collectible value to this purchase, unless it's put in fancy "display packaging" like the Vintage Minifigure Collections.
Finally, while a lot of people consider this a letdown, I hope this doesn't discourage TLG from making more VIP-exclusive offers in the future. I suppose if the Mini Modulars are successful they could make up for any lackluster sales on this item.
I am a VIP, and I was never asked to vote on this, or anyone else that I know. LAME, LAME, LAME, LAME!
VIP were asked to vote? I don't recall that either.
Of the line up above, only the elf is a winner for me. I've got plenty of the fisherman. Maybe one more Gorilla suit guy would be nice. I don't care for the rest.
The original email I got about the vote was on 11th July, so it definitely took place (I voted in it myself).
Saying that, the results are pathetic. It's obvious that they didnt have enough leftovers from series 1 and 2 to fulfil this vote, so they went for the runners up: Series 3. Which in my opinion so far has been the poorest series of them all.
I agree with many of you in that LEGO did a poor job in selecting the figures to put in this pack. I already have tons of Series 3 anyway, because they had 5 or 6 boxes of them for $1 each. If LEGO was not able to fufill what fans asked for and what they had promised, why did they even bother making this?
I'm absolutely sure that these were all picked by kids under 5.
What a cheek! No Zombies? Sure, they say "wherever possible", which means in other words: "We don't give anything about what FOLs really want, we just want to get rid of our surplus production."
I'm sure sales will be low and I hope TLC learns from this.
I was not contacted either as a VIP member :(
elf and gorilla are all i would get if it isn't expencive
Zombie was obviously better than the mummy
LLLLLLLLLLLLET'S PLAY. This
Thorsten Bonsch I hope so
All these from season 3 only. Sigh... I expected at least one of the following from series 1: Zombie, Robot, Forestman, Ninja, Spaceman, Caveman. From Series 2: Spartan. I personally like that they included the elf and the space villain ( I love classic space/Blacktron). If this was a series 3 only pick instead, then the choices are not too horrible. I would have swapped out the fisherman with the space alien though. It really looks like an inventory dump than anything else. A complete recoloring of all the minifigs would have been great instead of a token part.
They probably chose them all from series three since that series did so poorly. It lasted the longest and was still readily available when series four was out.
^ but Series 6 are still readily available, and Series 7 has been out for a couple of months.

United States Patent Athey Aug. 13, 1974 MOUNTING FOR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS [75] lnventor: Stuart E. Athey, Troy, Ohio [73] Assignee: The Hobart Manufacturing Company, Troy, Ohio [22] Filed: Jan. 15, 1973 [21] Appl. No.: 323,538
[52] US. Cl 317/101 DH [51] Int. Cl. H02b 1/02 [58] Field of Search 317/101 DH [56] References Cited UNITED STATES PATENTS 3,216,580 11/1965 Fricker, Jr. t. 317/101 DH 3,652,899 3/1972 Henschen 317/101 DH Primary ExaminerDavid Smith, Jr. Attorney, Agent, or FirmBiebel, French & Bugg 5 7 ABSTRACT A mother printed circuit board is supported in spaced parallel relation to a metal base plate by a plurality of unitary plastic support stands. The stands have lower ends which are keyed onto the base plate, with integral locking fingers which extend outwardly above corresponding apertures formed in the mother board providing ease of assembly of the mother board onto the support base without the necessity for using fasteners or mounting screws. The same support stands are provided with vertically extending guides and locking arms for retaining a daughter board in perpendicular relation to the mother board again without the use of fasteners or mounting screws. In practice, a plurality of pairs of support stands may be used with a single mother board to permit insertion of a corresponding plurality of daughter boards.
3 Claims, 14 Drawing Figures MOUNTING FOR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the art of printed circuit boards there often exists a need for a primary board, sometimes called a mother board, which contains the required basic circuitry and connections, together with one or more secondary or daughter boards which contain specific circuitry to provide particular functions to the circuits of the mother board. It is highly desirable that these boards be mounted in the chassis in such a manner that their proper assembly is not left to chance, that the proper alignments of the mother to the panel and the daughter board to the mother board are assured, and that the boards may be readily inserted and easily removed for function changing or servicing without the necessity of removing or inserting fasteners or mounting screws.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to printed circuit boards and to supports therefor, and more particularly to a system of mother-daughter boards and to an arrangement for supporting these boards relative to each other and to a base plate.
In the practice of the present invention, a rigid base plate, which may be made of painted metal, is formed with a plurality of key-shaped openings for receiving the base of a circuit board support stand. A separate stand is used for each opening and provides means by which a mother board is supported in parallel spaced stand-off relation to the base plate. The support stands also provide the means by which one or more daughter boards are supported in normal or perpendicular relation to the mother board, or the daughter board (or one of them) can be supported perpendicular to and engaged with an edge connector mounted in some way other than on a mother board.
The support stands of the present invention provide several useful functions. First, they provide a means of assembling the mother board onto the base plate without the use of fasteners or mounting screws. Second, they provide an insulated stand-off of the mother board from the base plate. Third, pairs of the support stands are aligned so as to support individual daughter boards on the mother board. Both the daughter and mother boards are supported and retained without the use of fasteners or mounting screws.
The apparatus has several important advantages. The support stands are self-aligning on the base thereby providing for ease of insertion of the mother board. The support stands are provided with automatic locking fingers. The mother board is provided with apertures which slide down over the fingers, automatically locking the mother board in a stand-off relation on the insulated base portions of the upright stands. The assembly is one which can readily be accomplished without error and without damage to the mother board.
The support stands also include integral vertical guides which engage the corresponding vertical edges of the daughter boards so that these boards are readily guided into place when they are inserted. The stands are further provided with automatic daughter board locking means in the form of spring arms which engage the top edge of these boards and retain them firmly in place. Preferably, an electrical edge connector is employed between the mother and daughter boards so that connection is made when the daughter board is inserted on the support stands.
It is accordingly an important object of the invention to provide a fastenerless means of supporting mother and daughter boards in relation to a base plate; to provide a unitary support member, as outlined above; and to provide a combination of a base plate, a mother board, one or more daughter boards and support stands therefor which are particularly adapted for ease of production, assembly and servicing.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings and the appended claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a pair of stands supporting a daughter board on a mother board;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of one of the stands;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation thereof;
FIG. 4 is a back elevation thereof;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of a typical base plate;
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a stand being inserted in a base plate;
FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view similar to FIG. 6 after the bottom shoe has been inserted in the keyway;
FIG. 8 is an enlarged vertical fragmentary section taken generally along the line 88 of FIG. 7 showing the mother board in the first stage of being inserted in place;
FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. 8 showing the mother board passing over the fingers;
FIG. 10 is another view similar to FIG. 8 showing the mother board secured on the base support surface;
FIG. 11 is a top plan view of the support stand with the mother board in place;
FIG. 12 is a vertical fragmentary section taken generally along the line l2-l2 of FIG. 11;
FIG. 13 is a fragmentary detail showing the daughter board being inserted on one of the stands; and
FIG. 14 shows the daughter board after it has been locked in place.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A printed circuit board combination, according to this invention, is illustrated in FIG. 1 as including a metal support base 20, a printed circuit mother board 22, a printed circuit daughter board 25, and a pair of identical mounting or support stands 30. For the purpose of this invention, the support base 20 is preferably provided with a plurality of pairs of keyhole-shaped openings 32 as shown in FIG. 5. The openings 32 thus include a circular portion 33 and an offset slotted portion or keyway 34. The mother board 22 is provided with a plurality of circular mounting openings 35 therein corresponding in number and in spacing to the openings 32 in the base 20.
The support stands 30 are formed of a high impact resistant and fire resistant plastic material, such as glass filled ABS, and include a base portion 40 adapted to be I mounted on the support base 20, and further have an upstanding body portion 42 extending substantially vertically from the base 40. The lower surface of the base 40 is provided with a slotted shoe 44, the shoe being offset laterally from the body portion 42 in the same manner that the keyway 34 is offset from the opening 33. The shoe 44 is proportioned to be received through the opening 33 and to engage the keyway 34 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, thus providing means for mounting the support stands on the base plates 20. The keyway or slot 34 is longer than the shoe 44 and is somewhat wider than the web 45 by which the shoe is attached to the base 40, thus providing for limited lateral and transverse adjusting movement of the stands 30 with respect to the base 20.
The base portion of the stand is formed with an upper mother board supporting surface 48. The base portion is also provided with an optional mounting screw hole 49 which may be used in lieu of the slot and keyway arrangement.
Means on the stands 30 for removably supporting the board 22 in spaced relation to the base 20 includes a pair of opposite deflectable fingers 50. The fingers 50 are formed as an integral part of the upper body portion 42 and extend downwardly and outwardly and terminate a short distance above the surface 48 of the base portion 40. In fact, the fingers 50 terminate at a distance from the surface 48 which is approximately to the thickness of the mother board 22.
The openings 35 in the board 22 have a diameter which permits these boards to be readily received over the body portion 42 and yet are sufficiently small to cause inward deflection of the fingers 50 as the board 22 is pressed downwardly over the stands 30, as shown progressively in FIGS. 8 and 9. Accordingly, the fingers 50 are first deflected inwardly as shown in FIG. 9 followed by outward locking movement to their original position as the board 22 clears the fingers 50 and comes to rest on the surface 48 of the base portion 40. In this position it will be seen that the stands 30 provide an insulated stand-off for the mother board 22 with respect to the base 20. Even though a number of pairs of the stands 30 may be used, corresponding to the number of daughter board positions to be provided, the mother board may be assembled and locked into positon without difficulty due to the ability of the support stands 30 to align themselves on the base 20.
The support stands 30 include means for removably supporting a daughter board 25. For this purpose, the stands are arranged in inwardly facing pairs as shown in FIG. I and as illustrated by the pairing of the openings 32 in the base plate 20 of FIG. 5. For this purpose, the upper body portion 42 is provided with guide means formed by a pair of spaced apart side walls and 56 defining therebetween a vertical slot 57 terminating at a bottom ledge 58 as shown in FIG. 2. Tapered walls 59 lead into the slot 57. The slot 57 is proportioned in width to receive a vertical edge of the board 25, while the ledge 58 defines the bottom inserted position of the board 25.
The support stands further include means for locking the daughter board in place including an outwardly deflectable arm 60 which has a lower ledge surface 62 at its upper end engageable with the upper edge of the board 25 when fully inserted within the guide means 57. Further, the arm 60 has a transversely tapered front surface 65 and is also provided with tapered lead in surfaces 66 terminating at a slot 68. The slot 68 provides further support for the inserted board 25.
As mentioned above, a pair of the stands is used for each daughter board to be accommodated and are positioned on the base 20 in such a manner that the board-receiving slots 57 and 68 are mutually inwardly directed over the mother board 22. When it is desired to insert a daughter board it is merely necessary to press it downwardly between the stands resulting in the outward deflection of the arms 60 as shown in FIG. 13. When the board is seated, the arms 60 spring back into its original position, bringing the ledges 62 over the opposite upper edges of the board, as shown for one board in FIG. 14. The stands 30 are further provided with a backstop 70 to prevent the arms from being over extended and broken in use.
The stands 30 accordingly provide means for supporting the daughter boards 25 in mutually perpendicular or normal relation to the board 22. Preferably, a terminal edge connector 72, mounted on the mother board, is employed to make electrical contact between the board 25 and the board 22. Again, the assembly of the boards 25 and their retention is accomplished without the use of mounting screws or other fasteners, and the boards 25 may be easily removed by retracting the arms 60 and withdrawing the boards 25. The connector 72 can be mounted other than on a mother board, thus the stands are useful independently of their function as a mount for mother boards.
It is accordingly seen that this invention provides support stands which position a primary circuit board on a base and which provides insulated stand-off, without fasteners. They also provide fastenerless support for secondary boards as may be desired to provide circuit functions added to or separate from the primary board. They assure proper and accurate assembly and registration of the parts with a minimum of time and labor involved.
While the forms of apparatus herein described constitute preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to these precise forms of apparatus, and that changes may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. In a printed circuit including a support base, a mother printed circuit board and at least one daughter printed circuit board, the combination comprising at least two printed circuit support stands, said stands being formed essentially of non-conducting material and having a base portion adapted to be mounted on said support base and having an upstanding body portion, means mounting a pair of said stands on said base at the base portion thereof in spaced apart relation, a pair of deflectable fingers integral with said body portion and extending downwardly and outwardly therefrom terminating in free ends adjacent said base portion, means on said mother board defining an aperture for each of said stands, the diameter of said apertures being such as to be readily received over said upstanding body portions yet sufficiently small to cause inward deflection of said fingers when said mother board is passed downwardly around said body portion onto said base portion followed by outward locking movement thereof as said mother board clears said fingers and comes to rest on said base portion, means on each said body portion defining a daughter board-receiving slot with the slots of each pair of stands being mutually inwardly directed over said mother board, said daughter board being receivable on said stands in said slots in perpendicular relation to said mother board, arm means integrally connected to said body portion above said slots and having a deflectable ledge surface engageable with said daughter board to retain said daughter board in said slots, and connector means electrically connecting said daughter board to said mother board.
2. A stand for supporting printed circuit boards in spaced relation to a backing plate, comprising a stand having a unitary body formed of plastic material including a base portion defining an upper primary circuit board support surface, means mounting said stand on said plate with said surface spaced above said plate to provide a stand-off distance for a primary circuit board, an upper portion of said body extending upwardly from said base portion, said upper portion having retainer fingers with free lower ends adapted to engage and retain a primary circuit board in superimposed relation on said surface, vertically extending guide means in said upper portion adapted to receive one vertical edge of a secondary circuit board, means on said upper portion adapted to engage and retain such secondary circuit board in said guide means in perpendicular relation to such primary circuit board, said retainer fingers extending downwardly and outwardly and being inwardly deflectable terminating slightly above said base surface a distance approximately equal to the thickness of such primary board, said upper body portion adapted to be threaded through an aperture in such primary board by said inward deflection of said fingers to permit seating thereof on said surface followed by outward deflection thereof above said primary board to retain said primary board on said surface.
3. The stand of claim 2 wherein said secondary board retaining means comprises an outwardly deflectable arm having an upper end engageable with an upper edge of said secondary board when the same is inserted in said guide means.

I bought some mezlan chukka boots from GILT online, pretty happy with them. Price was good although I wasn't excited about their shipping costs. I'm looking for some brown Oxford wing tips. The ones on GILT have been outrageous. Any suggestions on brands and where to find them? (I live in Adelaide)

They'll both be continually re-stocked on occasion, but not necessarily as soon as they sell out. FWIW I think there is only 3 or 4 black knits left. The main focus for now is getting all of the stuff for the trunk show here in April and they won't be included in that. What will is the 4 new cashmere knit ties (burgundy, dark blue, grey, brown), about 15 new awesome wool ties in small run qtys, the 5 new grenadines (maroon, black, navy, forest green and chocolate), and about another 10 new woven silks (TBD). So we'll see around 35 new ties, about 10 cashmere scarves (3 new additions on last year), and some of the new smartphone friendly cashmere gloves too, they are from Scotland also. So all in all pretty excited about what's coming up!
But I only have so much money :(post #27322 of 633992/27/13 at 2:30amQuote:I know it would be like laying pearls before swine, but do you have any plans for a Sydney exhibit?Originally Posted by Charlie's Wardrobe
Ha yeah not in Canberra. I love it but it's a sartorial graveyard.
It'll be at Ludlows, if you have purchased off me in the past you will get an invite by email in a few weeks, but if not there will be plenty of info on here beforehand. Set for the 18th at this stage and it will be after hours, so it will kind of be a meetup anyway. It won't be a public event per se, more for Ludlows clients my clients and SF members. It will be a great chance for me to put a lot of faces to names and a great chance for you guys to look and feel product in person.post #27323 of 633992/27/13 at 2:40am

Not at this stage but not because I don't want to. Just that with not having a stockist in Sydney (something I'm hoping to change this year) I'd have to hire a venue, provide drinks, food etc etc it's a fairly expensive proposition. I'm not the sort of person that likes to do these things half assed and I'm not against the idea by any means. Perhaps if someone wanted to team up for something it would be made easier. Hint hint Rob....Quote:
Absolutely, We've often turned these kind of things in to mini meet ups where the couple of Canberra members go for a beer/coffee and look at a few things. But it can also be organised one on one, at your home or office provided it's not before 5.30pm. There is of course no obligation to buy anything. Just pm me if there is anything you want to check out.post #27327 of 633992/27/13 at 3:36am

After the discussion on the watches I linked a few pages back, and with the objective of a sportier weekend watch in mind I went back and did some reading and visited a few watch stores to try on all the usual suspects (Rolex DJ and Sub, Omega Seamaster OP and Pro) but I ended up short-listing the Stowa Prodiver (shown here w. plain steel bezel and non-orange hand - note, not my picture). I really like this model because it's not a 'hommage' or replica of any 'established' swiss watch, and it's at a surprisingly reasonable price-point. The orange-hand version on a green zulu strap (as shown on wornandwound.com) looks particularly awesome, and that's the sort of relaxed aesthetic I think I'll be gravitating toward.
Great review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JpMn9aXlq8 (by wornandwound). Anyone have any feedback on this Stowa/impressions? I haven't pulled the trigger on this yet, but that video really sold me on it...
Down-the-track grail watch is still an IWC 500107 (Portugese Automatic), which I prefer to the Chronograph.post #27328 of 633992/27/13 at 4:39am

OK buster you make a powerful argument. I've always liked black knit ties but now it's become clear that my life has been empty without one. They are everything I thought I never wanted in a tie...
Trouble is I prefer regular tipped ties to square end ones so I'll have to have a look around to find one I really like.
Maybe the coming soon Henry Carter black grenadine can fill this space - with a tie that would be blank space if not for the texture if I am reading (and agreeing with) fxh's argument correctly.post #27329 of 633992/27/13 at 4:39am

After all this talk about a black knit tie, I regret not packing mine to Sydney. Definitely am packing it into the luggage on the way back here.
PoP, I think I might have a black knit with a regular tip. If I find it, I will be happy to give it to you.post #27330 of 633992/27/13 at 1:49pm

Sugammadex is specifically designed to rapidly reverse to rapidly reverse the effects of certain muscle relaxants, rocuronium bromide (marketed in the U.S. as ZEMURON(R) and in Japan as ESLAX(R)), as well as vecuronium bromide (marketed in Japan as MUSCULAX(R)). Muscle relaxants are used as part of general anesthesia during surgical procedures.
The company announced on January 2, 2008, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has assigned priority review status to the New Drug Application (NDA) filing for sugammadex. Additionally, the Marketing Authorization Application for sugammadex was accepted for review by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) in July 2007.
Schering-Plough acquired sugammadex through its combination with Organon BioSciences on November 19, 2007.
About Sugammadex
Sugammadex is a novel selective relaxant binding agent (SRBA) under development by Organon, a part of Schering-Plough Corporation. Sugammadex was designed to reverse the effects of rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide, muscle relaxants commonly used during surgeries that require profound muscle relaxation. Anesthesiologists use muscle relaxation to improve surgical conditions, to facilitate intubation and mechanical ventilation, and to reduce the chance of complications.
In clinical trials to date, sugammadex has demonstrated the ability to

Capitals Talk
Tom Wilson suffered a setback on Wednesday, but these things happen says coach Barry Trotz.
For Connor Carrick, last season's NHL experience still seems surreal.
Despite trade rumors being floated about Mike Green's future, head coach Barry Trotz says Green is part of his plans in D.C., especially in a leadership role.
Capitals prospect Nathan Walker has gained a lot of attention this week. He's even been asked if he has a pet kangaroo.

Jaragua, Hispaniola
The cacicazgo of Jaragua, also written as Xaragua, was one of the five chiefdoms in the island of Hispaniola, stretching across through the southwest; limiting to the north by the cacicazgo of Marién, south by the Caribbean Sea to the east with the cacicazgo of Maguana, and the west by the Jamaica Channel. Jaragua emerged as the union of two previous cacicazgos, Zui and Yáquimo.
It was ruled by the cacique Bohechío. It was the largest surface area of the island. He had his seat at a place called Yaguana, near the present city Léogane, Haiti. It was divided into 26 nitaínos.
In the tribe the situation was that Bohechío, being brother of Anacaona, had to reside within the subchiefdom of Yáquimo, it was waging a war against two very primitive and early settlers of Quisqueya, one of them located in the region of Yuboa and the other in the extreme southwest of the island called Guacayarima.
Bohechío required a double alliance with the chief of Haniguayagua for the control of the southwest and another to Caonabo, for control and access to Yuboa.

Report: Asomugha down to Jets, Cowboys
Posted on: July 29, 2011 11:24 am
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
While the Texans grabbed Johnathan Joseph and the Steelers re-upped with Ike Taylor, knocking two of the three most-coveted free agent cornerbacks off the market, we're still waiting to see where the most-expensive of them all, Nnamdi Asomugha, will sign.
The original thought(s) were the Texans, the Jets and the 49ers. Then, as Houston took on Joseph on Thursday night, it became the Jets, the 49ers (and maybe the Buccaneers, the Cowboys and the Raiders (!)). All were rumors, and supposedly, there was a chance it would be resolved late Thursday night or early Friday morning*.
*Luckily, this didn't happen while the Eye on Football blog was catching a few hours of shut-eye.
Apparently, it's now down to two teams. As NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports, Asomugha will sign either with the Jets or the Cowboys, and some believe Dallas actually is the favorite.
This will be the first big competitive test for New York coach Rex Ryan and his brother, Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, since Ryan took over the Cowboys job. It adds a little bit of intrigue to a situation that continues to be one of the most interesting storylines of the new NFL season.
Who can afford to sign and pay a guy who will probably command at least $15 million a year?
Jets CB Darrelle Revis obviously would love to have the second-best CB in the league playing opposite of him, and Jets QB Mark Sanchez has intimated that he (and maybe some of his teammates) would be willing to restructure his contract in order to land a big free agent.
The Cowboys, while way over the salary cap limit at the beginning of the season, has been dumping big-salaried players since Tuesday in an effort to sign a high-impact player.
My guess: the Jets still have the upper-hand. But with Jerry Jones always looking to get what he wants, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Asomugha end up in Dallas.

Report: Asomugha down to Jets, Cowboys
Crib you're joking right. Shutting down Johnson twice. I'm pretty sure I could have done that to a 33 wr and a washed up Carson Palmer. You should look up the real stats. Not the box score at the end of the day. Don't assume that if Brandon Marshall had a 100 yds and a td that Nnamdi covered the entire game. The Raiders heirarchy don't always let Nnamdi cover the best wr the entire game. Stupid I know, but that's the Raiders.

Report: Asomugha down to Jets, Cowboys
while I would hate to see him go to either of these teams as I detest them both - I admire the fact that they recognize what a contributer he would be - Jets need to get past NE, PIT, SD, IND to make the SB and DAL needs to survive PHI, NYG and of course GB and NO - 7 of the 8 teams I listed have top notch passing games.
I don't understand why Tampa isn't getting involved though - I believe at this point that have more cash to spend than anyone; they're a borderline playoff team that's improving and play in a division with Brees and Ryan - he'd be a perfect fit for them. I'd be going full tilt if I were TB.

Its a done deal. If Jerry really wants someone, he will find a way to get him. Jerry has to stay in the limelight and what better way, right? They will reshape Romo, Austin and a few others contracts and cut Newman to get Asomugha, but it will happen....You watch.

@maise, Safety Leonard is healthy as well as LB Harris, not so sure Harris is happy, with the Jets throwing around all this cash, and he still has a one yr deal as the Jets franchise player.
@Maxbuster, I would rather be in thr final four every year than win the division,
I have a feeling the Jets are gonna lose out on Assie and then resign Cro and Edwards.

Don't go the Dallas Crapboys. That would be a horrible mistake. The Cowboys are not a good team, and only have one good player on defense. That linebacker guy( Ware) other than that, Asomugha will be he only player on the field trying to make a play. I am not watching football anymore if the Cowboys, pick up the best FA player....then we all know that the NFL is fixed and that upper management ( Goodell) had a hand in making sure one of the most popular teams, got the best player......FIXED!!!!

Report: Asomugha down to Jets, Cowboys
As I have said on another post Michael Lombardi is a fool. He was interviewed for the 49ers GM position and told everyone that he was the frontrunner and that he felt that he would be their next GM...he wasn't. Then he says that the Texans were definitely going to sign Nnamdi Asomugha, but then they signed another CB. The Eagles and Cowboys don't make sense for Asomugha because they are not very stable teams. Yes, they might have won more games than the 49ers in the past 10 years, but it seems that these three teams are all on the same situation. They will never get past the "hump" until they get a capable coach. Andy Reid is not a capable coach. The guy has only taken the Eagles to the Super Bowl one time and the Cowboys always seem to fold in the playoffs. But as they all say "It's all about the money!" and those teams seems to be offering the most. But I still think that if the 49ers offer up $20-25 Asomugha will take it. Like all former Raiders he would want to show Al Davis that he can win without him.....and there is no better place than right across the Bay. Besides, we have seen a slew of 49er greats come play for the Raiders....it's about time some Raider greats come play for the 49ers..I'm just saying.

Report: Asomugha down to Jets, Cowboys
If the Jets get him, there will eventually be trouble. Whoever gets paid less will not be able to deal with it (especially if its Revis).
But if they do pick him up, its maybe the 2nd best CB pairing in the last 40 years (behind Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes). Good for the defense coached by a creative mind. However, keep in mind that New England makes adjustments and they use the TE a lot. They may just figure out a way to punish the Jets interior pass defense with TE play and slot receivers. How is that injured Jet Safety doing? Is David Harris healthy and happy? They'd better be ready because I bet Brady attacks the middle third of the field with the pass, and attacks the edges with the run.
If Dallas gets him, I just hope all those vets they cast loose don't end up back with the boys at vet minimums. That would figure. Only Dallas and NE could get away with that sort of stuff...

Decision No. R01-1043-I BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO DOCKET NO. 01F-405T JAMES D. THORBURN, COMPLAINANT, V. QWEST CORPORATION, RESPONDENT. INTERIM ORDER OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE WILLIAM J. FRITZEL DENYING MOTION TO DISMISS Mailed Date: October 11, 2001 I. STATEMENT A. On August 30, 2001, James D. Thorburn ("Complainant") filed a complaint naming Qwest Corporation ("Qwest") as Respondent. B. Complainant alleges that Qwest improperly charged Complainant a security deposit in the amount of $310. In addition, Complainant alleges that Qwest also improperly charged Complainant a restoral fee of $240 (see page 3 of Complainant's letter attached to the complaint). C. On September 6, 2001, the Commission issued an Order to Satisfy or Answer, and scheduled a hearing of the complaint for October 17, 2001. D. On September 17, 2001, Qwest filed a Motion to Dismiss. On September 24, 2001, Qwest filed an addendum to its Motion to Dismiss attaching an original affidavit of Susan McKown. In its Motion to Dismiss, Qwest requests that the Commission dismiss the complaint for the failure of Complainant to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and that the Commission does not have subject matter jurisdiction to hear the case. In the alternative, Qwest requests that the Commission require Complainant to file a complaint in conformance with Rule 61 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 4 Code of Colorado Regulations 723-1. E. No response to the motion was filed with the Commission. F. Although it appears from the affidavit of Susan McKown attached to Qwest's Motion to Dismiss, that the $310 security deposit was requested on behalf of a long distance provider for which Qwest has a contractual agreement with the carrier to bill, which may deprive the Commission of jurisdiction to hear this allegation involving long distance service, Complainant also alleges in its complaint that Qwest improperly charged Complainant a $240 restoral charge for service. The motion of 2 Qwest to dismiss will be denied at this time. Qwest may renew its Motion to Dismiss at the conclusion of the evidence taken at the hearing. II. ORDER A. It Is Ordered That: 1. The motion of Qwest Corporation to dismiss the complaint is denied. 2. This Order is effective immediately. THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO _______________________________ Administrative Law Judge G:\ORDER\405T.DOC 3

washington State Forest legacy programForest Legacy is a federal grant program designed to protect working forests under threat of conversion to non-forest uses, most commonly commercial or residential development. The program is administered by the USDA Forest Service, and in Washington is carried out by the state Department of Natural Resources. Through the program, federal grant funds pay for conservation easements that remove the development rights from forest land. This allows the landowner to continue long-term forestry on a property that might otherwise be sold for development. Keeping land in traditional forest uses also aids protection of water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, cultural resources and recreation opportunities.Washington was one of the first states to participate in the Forest Legacy Program, and has used it successfully to reduce urban sprawl in seven counties since 1993. Through 2014, over 37,000 acres of forest land are permanently protected.Forest Legacy Interactive Map - to see the locations of the properties funded by the Forest Legacy Program in Washington.

The application and scoring guidance are listed under the Files section to the right.Successful applicants who receive funding will be required to sign the State's conservation easement.program Goals and Criteria The Forest Legacy Program guidelines direct states to determine how and where the program should be applied. DNR prepared its first Assessment of Need in 1993 and updated it in 2004 to cover more areas around the state.

Workbench Build #1: Workbench Build
I've worked with wood and been interested in woodworking since I was a child…some 40 years. Until now, I've never had the three things I needed to really explore that passion…time, space, money. To start off, I need a place to work so I built a simple workbench. I found these plans in Woodsmith magazine. The construction is simple, inexpensive and sturdy…just what I need.

Boulder County commissioners have announced they will prosecute any anti-fracking demonstrators who disrupt meetings. This comes after demonstrators disrupted an earlier meeting.

DENVER, CO (Catholic Online) - The Commissioners issued a statement on Wednesday promising to prosecute anyone who disrupted their meetings. Commissioners say the demonstrators created a "bullying atmosphere" and are intimidating witnesses.
They are also asking for more security in advance of further meetings.
Fracking is the practice of blasting sand, water, and chemicals deep into the ground to produce cracks in the rock. Those cracks release natural gas and oil.
Opponents of the practice say that it contaminates groundwater and possibly causes earthquakes.
Defenders of the practice say the claims are absurd because fracking occurs well beneath the water table.
