Aww that sucks. Grace second DUI that is bad.
Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 10/4/12
Mark Grace and Daron Sutton will not return as television announces for the Arizona Diamondbacks next season. The club confirmed that it is seeking replacements for the pair. Grace, the popular former major leaguer and the team's color analyst, left the crew voluntarily in August after his second driving-while intoxicated arrest in 15 months. Sutton, the play-by-play announcer, was suspended on June 30 for unspecified ''philosophical differences.'' Greg Schulte, who had taken over the television play-by-play duties, will return to his role as radio announcer.

The Emperor Has No Clothes (and is a criminal)
Thursday, August 31, 2006
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit ruled not long ago that:
The President of the United States, a creature of the same Constitution which gave us these Amendments, has undisputedly violated the Fourth in failing to procure judicial orders as required by FISA, and accordingly has violated the First Amendment Rights of these Plaintiffs as well.
Here's the kicker: FISA is a criminal statute.
(a) Prohibited activities
A person is guilty of an offense if he intentionally—
(1) engages in electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized by statute; or
(2) discloses or uses information obtained under color of law by electronic surveillance, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through electronic surveillance not authorized by statute.
(b) Defense
It is a defense to a prosecution under subsection (a) of this section that the defendant was a law enforcement or investigative officer engaged in the course of his official duties and the electronic surveillance was authorized by and conducted pursuant to a search warrant or court order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Penalties
An offense described in this section is punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both.
(d) Federal jurisdiction
There is Federal jurisdiction over an offense under this section if the person committing the offense was an officer or employee of the United States at the time the offense was committed.
Judge Taylor was ruling on a civil lawsuit, but her finding is that the President violated a criminal statute. This is not equivalent to a criminal conviction, but it is a judicial ruling that the President's conduct is criminal.
To put it another way, a federal judge has issued a ruling that, among other things, concludes that the President has committed multiple felonies.
Now, let me ask you: doesn't this fact seem significant? If the NSA program is illegal, it will need to stop, and that's important. But the law that makes it illegal is a criminal law, and if the program is illegal (as most analysts now seem to conclude is obvious), then that makes the President a felon. This seems very significant and newsworthy to me, but tell me: how much attention has this crucial fact received in mainstream coverage?
Glenn Greenwald has some discussion of this strange state of affairs.
This has been the most bizarre part of the NSA scandal all along: the President got caught red-handed violating an extremely clear law — he admitted to engaging in the very behavior which that law says is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine — and yet official Washington (the political and pundit classes) simply decided to pretend that wasn't the case.
They agreed to acquiesce to the administration's fiction that there are some sort of complex and difficult legal questions with which one must grapple, and that only shrill partisans say that the President is violating the criminal law. And thus, a Washington ruling class which reveled in subpoenas and criminal investigations over such towering matters as Whitewater, Vince Foster and Monica Lewkinsky has collectively decided that talk of criminality on the part of the President for how he is spying on Americans is imprudent and unserious.
I added the bold. This is a criticial point, I think: it does seem, at least to me, that the subtext in the non-coverage of the president's criminal liability is that it's unserious to frankly confront the possibility that our President is a felon, and that anyone who brings this up is, frankly, not to be trusted.
But the facts are the other way around: the President has, on national television, admitted to personally authorizing and re-authorizing, no less than thirty times, a wiretapping program that was consciously and deliberately constructed in violation of a federal criminal statute. No Democratic partisan trickery can be blamed for creating the possibility that the President is subject to thirty or more criminal felony charges; he did that all on his own.
It is remarkable that the Republicans have managed to frame the public debate over the President's actions so effectively that a public admission that the President deliberately violated criminal law has led to virtually no discussion of the obvious question of whether there can now be any doubt that he is, in fact, a criminal.
But Judge Taylor's ruling — with its very un-Beltway irreverence towards the President, and free of the fear of describing the President's lawbreaking as what it is — is forcing that question out into the open, which is what explains so much of the hostility towards Judge Taylor. This judge, unknown to the Important People in academia and the political power centers, sitting in her little Detroit courtroom, has broken the rules. She used language which is uncouth (she pointed out the obvious — that this President has pretenses to being a King) and refused to pay homage to the false orthodoxy that there are really difficult questions triggered by the President's refusal to abide by the criminal law. How irresponsible, unscholarly and unserious she is.
This is the way in which control of the debate is achieved. The President can't be acting criminally, by definition. Although it would appear obvious and straightforward that the President deliberately broke the law, we are instead to believe that there are weighty and complicated issues of unresolved law that we cannot hope to understand. When a judge, whose job it is to analyze those questions of law, says that the issue is indeed straightforward and that the President's actions are criminal, she must be mistaken. By definition.
Oh, and We Have Always Been At War With Eurasia.

How to Make Chicken Marsala
This Italian chicken dish is special enough for company but quick enough for a weeknight one-dish meal. Spoon a mushroom-Marsala wine sauce over sauteed chicken breasts that have been pounded thin and serve over twirled pasta.
What Is Marsala?
Chicken Marsala showcases Italy's most famous fortified wine, Marsala. This smoky, aged wine is usually served as an aperitif or dessert wine, and it comes in a variety of styles from dry (secco) to sweet (dolci). Select a dry Marsala for this recipe or substitute dry sherry.
This dish takes only 35 minutes to make, start to finish. Here's how:
Season the Flour
In a shallow bowl combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed; 1/8 teaspoon salt; and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. This will be used to dredge the chicken.
Tip: You can substitute dried thyme or Italian seasoning for the marjoram if you like.
Pound the Chicken Breasts
Chicken Marsala starts with skinless, boneless chicken breast halves that are pounded thin before dredging them in the seasoned flour. These thin pieces are called chicken cutlets. Pounding them allows the chicken to cook evenly and quickly in melted butter. The seasoned flour browns and gets slightly crispy in the butter, infusing the chicken breasts with flavor.
- Place one piece of chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use the flat side of a meat mallet to lightly pound the chicken, working from the center to the edges until the breast is uniformly 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and repeat with three more skinless, boneless chicken breast halves.
- Place each pounded chicken breast into the seasoned flour and coat all sides, shaking off excess flour.
Saute the Mushrooms and Chicken
- In a 12-inch skillet melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups sliced mushrooms and 1/4 cup sliced green onions, and cook until tender. Remove the mushrooms and green onions from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet melt an additional 2 tablespoons butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until evenly browned and no longer pink inside, turning occasionally.
Tip: White button mushrooms or brown cremini mushrooms work well. Five ounces of mushrooms yields 2 cups sliced.
Make the Sauce
- Remove the skillet from the heat, and add the mushrooms and green onions back to the skillet.
- Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup dry Marsala or dry sherry to the skillet. The butter may splatter a bit, so add the liquids slowly and carefully. Return skillet to the heat and bring the mixture to boiling over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will cook out the alcohol.
- Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper.
How to Serve Chicken Marsala
This chicken is saucy enough to serve over hot cooked pasta such as capellini, linguine, or fettuccine, if you like. If using pasta, cook it according to package directions, preparing about 1 cup cooked pasta per person. Or instead of pasta, consider serving the chicken Marsala with sliced Italian bread to mop up the sauce.

themegagod (randy's) sketch book
EDIT: This sketchbook was badly neglected for about a year. regular work should begin appearing at the end of page 2.
this is my first attempt at making a sketch book, so if anything is buggy, i'm kinda winging this....
anyway, i want everyone to critique my drawings and paintings, until i cry. yes i want you guys to be constructive, but i have a lot to learn, and anything you guys could teach me, or any hurdles you can help me over... i would be glad to take a verbal lashing in return.
in other words, don't be afraid to give me all you got; i'm a grown little man, and i can take it.
i'm 19 years old, and i've been drawing since i was 5 or even younger. still i have a far, far way to greatness, and i plan on like everyone else, using this space to get help and push myself to draw, draw, draw, and maybe paint or sculpt, or whatever.
so without much further adue, i'm going to begin posting some of my work.
what i'm going to try and do is put my works in chronological order so a change should become apparent. i have a lot of "completed" work that i have saved, so it may be a while until i get to my true sketch book. anyway...
these first four pieces are all around two years old, and they are what got me into drawing AP classes in atlantic city. i know these aren't very good.... at least i know now... if anyone sees any redeeming qualities in these, please explain to me... where? how would you make these good?

a bit later....
so then i began drawing AP and a painting class... both high school level... and i began to get a bit better at creating, slightly pleasing images. i began working with water color (which i still have no skill in), and trying new drafting techniques under the instruction of my new teacher.
at this time i also was beginning to work on a sketch book (thats for a later post) and i was enrolling into the art institute of philadelphia (in my opinion, a very very bad idea, for animation). i was drawing a good deal at the time, but i wasn't really trying, and i could kick my self for it... if only i was a contortionist.
again with my eyes today, these things look horrible, but if you can critique them without vomiting, go right ahead.

yet another set of old images
so now i started trying to get my skill up. i wasn't trying hard, but i did start to feel i could do better than i was. so i began doing bits of good art at home... or in english class. It's true english and math classes are the best places to draw.
one of the things i began playing a big focus on was anatomy, and musculature. i had taken anatomy and physiology the year prior, and found i liked drawing muscles. a guy who draws people with a lot of muscles... unheard of!
some of these thing were starting not to look simply bad, and now only kinda bad. things were actually becoming critique-able. so in other words, please critique away.
(sorry for the image quality.. i'm learning my scanner AND how to use this site , aka converting images to the right sizes)

Welcome to CA.org! Keep posting stuff here, it's a great way to stay motivated and get help from people. So do you have any anatomy books you study from? If you don't know about him, look for some books by George Bridgeman, like his book the complete guide to drawing from life. I also suggest looking up some books by Andrew Loomis, like figure drawing for all it's worth or creative illustration. his stuff's out of print, but you can find it online and it's great to learn from. Draw from life. Good luck figuring out your scanner, and keep drawing!

hey thanks for posting on my SB
i would say ur anatomy studies are very good, u understand the body well. Some of the work is quite abstract well, so ur drawing skill is good. Your painting skills need to improve, as the painting u done looks flat im not much of a teacher but i think u need to add more hues and saturation of colours to bring out the objects, almost like the one u done with the bottle infront of the red fabric, the fabric works to an extent, if u pushed it a little more it would work well, as for the botle its pretty flat cos it lacks definition.
Are you going to learn how to paint digitally or just looking to improve ur overall skill for traditional media?.. which ever path u choose goodluck and great start i must say, as u seem to understand certain things like the way light works, u just need to put into function now by learning how to do it
p.s the quality is quite bad lol, maybe take a photograph even if its from a phone and upload?

want to say thanks so far.
so it is hopefully apparent that i began to get better. at this time i was spending a lot more time in my sketchbooks, and i began working on my AP concentration. initially this was going to be a small comic, but then this changed after becoming annoyed with the monotony. some times i really regret drawing comics, because although i learned sequential story telling, a great aspect for animation, i never really honed in on the necessity for photo realistic drawing capabilities.
my understanding of tone, value, and color all were getting better from where i had started. if you compare this painted self portrait (a monochromatic based off of a separate b & w painting i had done) to my first pencil self portrait, you can see that now i at least look human, although as required i had to be making a strange face, and being me, i had to make a very strange face.
now i imagine that the critiquing can be even more in-depth, as these get more like real drawings and paintings. In fact i still like the coloring done on the glass with the flower inside of it, the paper bag study.
July 27th, 2010 #7
a part of my drawing class was we needed to create a series of drawings based on a single subject, and these were meant to be done throughout the course of the school year. i did most of these in the course of one night. i could really punch myself....
anyway, these drawings were my attempt to express problems of the world, or american society, i guess depending on what... the fears of people manifested as monsters and mutants.
i feel like at this point, almost one year ago, i was beginning to learn tonal quality, but i still had issue with the ideas of composition, and i completely ignored the bg in most cases. still critique away!...
(wow computer paper doesn't go well with my scanner at all. these are old images. so i'm not too concerned, this is really to set up a base line for how i have grown artistically... but for future reference, when i want something to come out well, i don't just batch it up and send it out. )
July 27th, 2010 #8
so, now drawing was finished.
i had finished drawing class, and all i had left to wrap up was my painting class. i had been accepted into the art institute of philadelphia, and as far as i was concerned i was going to go. just had to pass class.
the following are all done in acrylic, a color medium, i have some experience with, so some of these may actually look pleasing to viewers. still these paintings, i wouldn't say have that completed look.... even now, looking at these i can't figure out why.... these seem nice as far as color and design, but they don't seem to have that final... "umph!"
from this final set from classes my favorite by far are the mountain, and the orange. my teacher wasn't too fond of the orange, but i kinda like how it has an almost foreboding quality, as though the orange has issues mentally... even though it's just an orange.
July 27th, 2010 #9
and then the school year ended...
so after that full year of drawing, badly, being accepted into a school that may not have fulfilled my needs, and wasting my time going to open houses for a school that i was lead to believe was basically the the best option, and almost the only option, i wised up and decided not to go.
the AI of philadelphia, does not have many transferable credits... it's an art school that doesn't require a portfolio, and from what i could find of alumni work, not much of it seemed to be... "jaw-dropping". in other words the school didn't seem like it was for, me, but i had become lazy while thinking it was. i got into the school with almost no skill and thought that meant i was good... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... i just made myself laugh.
so, as it went, i had no type of amazing portfolio, nor did i even know where i wanted to go. i continued to doodle, draw my own characters and begin animations using flash, none of which i've finished. this was how i spent that summer... than i began to take classes at my local CC....
then i found the school i wanted to go into, around winter of 2009, the beginning of 2010, and i realized how far behind i was in terms of where i needed to be.
so this is where i began to teach myself... this is going to lead to where i am now... hopefully i can get some really good criticisms, and never look back.

First thing's first. Image quality, I'm just going to be blunt. The pictures of your work are really bad, both scans and camera. I don't know what you're dealing with on your computer but it looks like you're not bringing them into any sort of post program to crop, rotate, tweak if necessary, resize, and properly save. #1 problem, they're all .gifs! You don't want to use .gif unless you're saving a smiley, certain web images, or want all your pictures to look like a throwback to 1995. Fix? Save things as jpgs. It is the standard for compressed images and the best thing for posting your images online. I don't know if you have photoshop or not. Photoshop is of course the idea image editor, but you can find tons of other stuff to use. I think there may even be a toned down version of photoshop on the web that is free to use (might have to register though). There's also always the GIMP, which is open source, powerful, and free to download. All this can get confusing quick. Take your time to play around with things, go through a couple tutorials/walkthroughs, read up about general tools and image types. Sounds like a lot but sorry, welcome to the internet. This is what we use here, so buckle up and learn it.
As for your actual work, it's a little hard to critique since a lot of it is old, some of it is upside down, and the image quality really doesn't help things. I think you could really benefit for doing some hardcore observational work. Set up still lifes and draw draw draw. Do stuff like sight measuring to keep your angles and proportions in check and relavent to each other. I thing your use of tone and shade could use a lot of work. Drawings should have clear areas of shadow like this, this, and this. There is shadow mass, and there is light mass. The darkest areas of the light mass are still lighter than the lightest of the shadow, and vice versa. Effectively using shadow mass not only will help describe the form it will also help you create compositional focal points and overall add interest to a drawing.
A quick note on color. Alot of your pigments look like straight up ones from the tube/pan/whatever, with little to no mixing. I highly recoment limiting yourself to just red, yellow, blue, and white. Avoid using black to make darks. Mix complementary colors, blues, and purples (that you've already mixed yourself) to get darker tones. Avoid using white and really limiting it in mixes, it sucks out color. You should mix all your colors. They will look so much richer, more subtle, and less like default store bought junk. Of course you can use other colors to mix but I really advise against it right now because I think you need to learn about color at a more basic level and become more comfortable in mixing and using them before moving on to other things. At this point too I'd really advise to do most of your studies in black and white to strengthen your use of values. Strong drawing and use of value are essential skills to effectively use color. And of course the best advice I can give is draw draw draw! It's all fine and dandy what you did before, but what are you going to do now?

lizzy thank you! i like bluntness.
I'm about to start preparing my newer drawings, painting, etc, and i'm going to try out the different forms and such. i just really wanted to try and get all i think 40 of these up here, so that viewers, or critics can see where i started. in other words i just changed these all so they'd fit onto the site, changing them all using a general conversion, not changing each according to it's own needed criteria.
the reason i put these up was i heard that drawing is like one's signature, it is unique to each person, and it doesn't change much. i figure this stays true for ones issues, so i figure having old drawings show really clearly how and where one has been messing up.
so now, i have recently began playing with some more graphite drawings, and i've begun for the first time that i can remember, begun doing some facial and hand studies. I've been beginning to draw portraits, and i find they are actually pretty good. i hope to have these up later tonight, or rather tomorrow, because in one hour, it's tomorrow.
i think tomorrows drawing will be a still life of some kind... maybe in charcoal since i haven't used it much....
anyway, thank you for some good advice.

and so i bring you up to date.
this is a recent collection of newer work. this work extends from about 4 months back until only a few days ago. yes there is a large gap, but this area involves old sketches, and doodles. there were many studies, and many many character designs for animations, i never got around to finishing. basically, these are the only worth while images i did in awhile.
so now here we are, i tried to keep these in sequential order. As you can see i have been growing as an artist, but i have a long road ahead, and i need help to get there.
so please, hold no punches. i need to get better!
i'd like to thank lizzybeth for basically teaching me how to upload images. if there are any old images that anyone really wants to see in better quality, just ask and i can do it... so now without much further a due, i am going to read a bit of a text book, write a paper... sleep for maybe an hour, and then start drawing some more.
hope you can almost enjoy what i do!
and please, if there's an area you can see i need to work on, tell me! tell me how to fix it, and i will try my damnedest to follow said instructions. i want to get better!

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
March 3, 1959 c. c. BAUMAN CUTTER FOR THIN WALL TUBING File d Aug. 25', 1957 INVENTOR, QARL. C. BAUMAN ATTORNEYS CUTTER FOR THIN WALL TUBING Carl C. Bauman, Springfield, 111. Application August 23, 1957, Serial No. 679,989
1 Claim. (Cl. 30-101) This invention relates to pipe cutting devices.
During the pouring of concrete floors or slabs, electrical conduits, tubing, and pipes are stubbed or cut off above the surface of the slab, at a distance of perhaps 6 to 18 inches from the slab. During the construction of the building, said tubing is often broken or bent, making it necessary to chisel a large hole in the concrete about the tubing in order to cut the tubing and extend the stub to the proper height.
This operation, up to the present time, has been accomplished only with considerably difficulty, due to the great difiiculty of inserting a tubing cutting device, at a location below the level of the concrete slab.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a device which is particularly adapted for performing the tubing cutting operations, in the environment described above.
More particularly, the invention has among important objects thereof, the following:
To provide a manually operable device of simple, rugged construction, capableof manufacture at low cost;
To permit the tubing to be cut ofi cleanly, and with minimum difliculty;
To permit swift adjustment of the cutting tool to tubes of different diameters; and
To provide for minimum disturbance of adjacent portions of the concrete.
Other objects will appear from the following description, the claims appended thereto, and from the annexed drawing, in which like reference characters designate like parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a tubing cutter according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section on line 2--2 of Figure 1, the dotted lines showing a concrete slab and tube with the invention operatively applied thereto;
Figure 3 is a transverse section on line 3-3 of Figure 2; and
Figure 4 is a longitudinal section of line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawing in detail, designated generally at is the tube cutter constituting the present invention. This includes a circular, thick base plate 12, having wide, radially outwardly opening peripheral recesses 14 angularly spaced 120 apart about the circumference of the base plate. Extending across each recess 14 is apivot pin 16, the opposite ends of which are engaged in openings provided in the opposite side walls of the recess.
Pivotally supported from the base plate 12 by means of the pin 16 are elongated, straight arms 18. These extend downwardly from the base plate, swinging about axes that are disposed in the plane of the base plate and that extend chordally of the base plate adjacent the periphery thereof. Thus, the several arms swing in planes that perpendicularly intersect the planes of the base plate and that are extended radially of the base plate.
Adjacent the distal, lower end of the arms 18, the inner United States Patent 0,"
2,875,517 Patented Mar. 3, 1959 surfaces of the arms are formed with deep, laterally inwardly opening recesses 20, and extending across the recesses 20, in parallel relation to the longitudinal medians of the arms, are screws 22 providing pivot pins for cutters 24, 24, and a roller 28. The cutters 24 have hubs 26, and the roller is also provided with a hub, to prevent binding of the cutters and rollers against the walls of the recesses 20. Referring to Figure 3, it will be seen that there are two cutters, and one roller, in a typical working embodiment of the invention.
The cutters thus rotate in planes perpendicular to the length of the respective arms, this being true also of the roller, with the peripheries of the cutters and of the roller projecting inwardly beyond the inner surface of the arm, was to engage the outer surface of a tube T that is embedded in a concrete slab S.
Welded or otherwise fixedly secured to base plate 12, centrally of the base plate, is a stub-like torsion bar or shank 30, the length of which is perpendicular to the plane of the base plae. Adjacent the outer end of the shank 30,,there is a cross bar 32 providing a handle. The cross bar may be removably engaged in a diametrically extending bore of the shank. Alternatively, it may be integrally or otherwise fixedly connected to the shank.
Referring to Figure 1, formed in the periphery of base plate 12 are depressions or recesses 33, adjacent the respective recesses 14, the depressions 33 being for the purposes of permitting insertion or removal of the pins 16.
Means is provided for shifting the distal ends of the arms 18 radially inwardly toward the tube T. To this end, formed in the outer surfaces of arms 18, intermediate the ends of the arms, are rectangular notches 34, receiving a clamping band 36 formed of spring metal material,
said clamping band being of endless formation, and
screw 40 extends through the nut 38 and opening 39, I
bearing against the inner surface of one of the notches 34 as shown in Figure 4.
By reason of this arrangement, it will be apparent that on threading of the screw inwardly of nut 38, the several arms will be forced, at their distal ends, radially inwardly by pressure of the band and of the screw thereagainst, thus causing the roller 28 and cutters 24 to bear against the outer surface of the tube T. The device is then turned bodily, so that the cutters follow a circumferentially' extending path, whereby to cut through the material of the tube. As the cut becomes deeper, the screw can be tightened progressively, as will be understood.
In use of the tool, the conductor pipe that has been broken or bent is first straightened so as to extend at to the floor surface of the slab S. Then, the pipe may be cut off with a hack saw at or immediately above the floor surface. Then a masonry drill is used, to drill a hole in the concrete about the tubing, said hole being designated at H in Figure 2. The tool is then placed in position as shown in Figure 2, with the cutters below the floor surface, and operated in the manner previously described. When the tubing has been cut off, proper connections can be made to bring the tubing to the proper height.
It is believed apparent that the invention is not nec-. essarily confined to the specific use or uses thereof described above, since it may be utilized for any purpose to which it may be suited. Nor is the invention to be necessarily limited to the specific construction illustrated and described, since such construction is only intended to be illustrative of the principles, it being considered that the invention comprehends any minor change in construction that may be permitted within the scope of the appended claim.
' wear is claimed is:
A tube cutter comprising: a base 'plate;*a torsion-bar invplanes radiating fromth'e center of thebase plate,
for swinging of the arms toward'and away'from"the center of said space; cutter means carried by the arms and spaced longitudinally of the arms from the base plate; handle means on the torsion bar 'for'rotating the same; and means extending about the arms for swinging the same radially inwardly of a tube about which: the arms are spaced for engagingthe cutter means against the Iwall vof the tube said last named means being 'disposed Wholly exteriorly of the center space, said center space beingfree of obstructions over the full'distance from the cutter means to the'base plate, comprising'a band "circumposed about the several .arms and a screw havinga threaded connection to the band and projecting radially inwardly of the band into engagement with one of the arms, whereby said screw and band will shift'the arms radially inwardly of the tube about which the arms are spaced, responsive to threading of the'screw ina direction radially inwardly of the band, the several arms having intermediate their ends outwardly opening notches receiving the band, said'notches having top and bottom walls lying in planes approximately perpendicular to the length of the arms, the band having top and bottom edges lying in planes also approximately perpendicular to the length of the arms, said top and bottom edges being slidably engaged by the top and bottom Walls, respectively, of the notches, said band being of annular, endless form, the band being of a thickness substantially less than the depth of the notches, and being slidable within a selected, screw-receiving notch responsive to threading of the screw in a selected direction in said selected notch} References Cited in the file of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS 1,085,967 Brown Feb. 3, 1914 1,107,511 Gallagher et a1 Aug. 18,1914 1 1,138,395 Nelson May 4, 1915 2,526,955 Kugler Oct: 24, 1950 FOREIGN.

American cinematographer Gregg Toland.
LOS ANGELES: An Oscar statuette won in 1939 by a cinematographer who worked on "Citizen Kane" was auctioned for $150,000 Tuesday.
Gregg Toland won the Academy Award, the only Oscar of his career, for his work on another film, "Wuthering Heights" by director William Wyler and starring Sir Laurence Olivier.
Toland was considered one of the most influential cinematographers in the history of film. He worked on "Citizen Kane" (1941) and "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946).
At Tuesday's sale by the Nate D. Sanders auction house, a navy blue overcoat that belonged to John Lennon went for $31,250, and a cowboy hat that John Wayne wore in six Westerns sold for $37,500.
A Lady Gaga dress combining fabric and metal elements, which the singer wore during a photo session with Harper's Bazaar magazine in March of this year, sold for $15,625.
But personal effects including shoes that belonged to martial arts star Bruce Lee went begging at the auction.

Descendent of Czar Nicholas II wants Russia to admit he was unjustly killed
Boris Yeltsin went far beyond such recognition during his term as Russian president, apologizing for the killings and describing the incident as one of the most shameful chapters of Russian history. The Russian Orthodox Church went even further, canonizing the family as minor saints.
But the country's legal system has never recognized that anything wrong happened on the night of July 16 and 17, 1918, when Bolsheviks lined up the royal family in the basement of a house in Yekaterinburg and shot them to death.
"This is the last step," said German Lukyanov, the family lawyer. "Why must this be done? Russia needs it, to finally close this disgraceful, bloody chapter of Russian history."
Closing the case of Russia's last czar might prove difficult, however. Many details about the incident are passionately disputed, and Ms. Romanova's application last month has shaken the dust off old debates that some Russians would rather leave undisturbed.
"The question of the czars is implied in the question of whether communism was a good idea," said Ivan Plotnikov, 80, a retired colonel and professor of history in Yekaterinburg.
"And this is a question some people still ask themselves."
The emotions run deepest in this industrial city on the eastern edge of Siberia, about 1,600 kilometres east of Moscow.
During interviews, some historians grew red-faced, raised their voices and even foamed at the mouth when arguing about what happened here almost a century ago.
The downfall of the royal Romanov family started in 1917, when discontent with the monarchy broke out into riots on the streets of St. Petersburg. The government resigned and parliament asked the emperor to give up his throne. Nicholas obeyed, and was eventually forced into house arrest in Yekaterinburg.
As civil war raged in the summer of 1918, opponents of the Bolsheviks approached the city and Bolshevik leaders decided to kill the czar to prevent the advancing army from saving him.
But questions about the killings almost outnumber the facts: Did Vladimir Lenin himself give the execution order, as many believe? Were the remains buried in a shallow grave, as some say, or have the real bodies never been discovered?
The absence of any court records or written execution order could make it difficult to apply the Russian law on rehabilitation, some experts say, because the Prosecutor-General may decide there isn't any decision that could be overturned.
The Russian government held a burial ceremony in St. Petersburg in 1998 for remains of the czar, his wife, three of his children and four attendants, after a geologist claimed the discovery of their bodies outside Yekaterinburg.
But the patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church boycotted the event because of doubts about the authenticity of the bones, and those questions grew stronger after DNA analysis by Japanese researchers contradicted the results of several other DNA tests.

WordPress sends e-mail notifications for a number of different reasons. New user registration, password resets, and comment notifications are the common defaults.
Plugins also tap into the e-mail system too, especially for extensions that add contact forms, e-commerce or subscription functionality.
If e-mail is integral to your WordPress site, you might want to consider using Mandrill (a service by the folks behind MailChimp) rather than the default WordPress mail system. If your server doesn't allow mail scripts or have a mail server, this might even be essential (and an alternative to running it through SMTP using a plugin like this). Continue reading

Keurig Neko Cafe
Kayuno Nomura, owner of Keurig, was always fond of cats and often fed strays near her home. One day she noticed five cats that she fed regularly had disappeared. She's never found out what happened to them, but those concerns sparked her life's mission to protect and find good homes for strays. Inspired by a visit to a "neko cafe" in Tokyo she opened the Keurig in the trendy Daimyo district in March of 2008. The location is very convenient for the young ladies and couples that make up the majority of her clientele. Then in September 2009 a second and even larger cafe was opened in Imaizumi just south of Tenjin.Read More

Jamaican red/gold/black
Brenda M.
from Colorado Springs, CO
on 2/21/2014
Five 7 inch 'gold to red' flashes running diagonally down the front on an all black body will go well with lots of beachwear and with the Negril beach scene. Sturdy enough for the diving. Tight in the upper body due to the racerback design, roomy enough in the lower half. Hope it can take the salt and sea.

The best deal going for a great suit!
Diane j.
from Washington, MO
on 4/7/2013
I wasn't sure what I'd get, but the price was too good to pass up, so I decided to take a shot. The cut and style turned out great, fit was true to size. The pattern was beautiful! I will definitely do a grab bag again!
Same Suit
Alia M.
from Chicago, IL
on 2/9/2013
I swim 5 days a week every single week, so I use two different suits. I ordered a grab bag back in November and the suit had stars all over it. It wasn't the best patters, but I could deal with it. One of my suits is completely worn out so I needed a new suit. These grab bags are a good price, so I decided to order one again assuming that they change the suit patterns every month or so. Apparently I was wrong, because I got the same suit in a different color. The suits are great quality, but I don't want two of the exact same suits. I think they need to change it up more!
Very little coverage
from Iowa
on 2/18/2014
The suit itself is a beautiful color, print, etc. But, my 135 lb. body was not fitting into this suit. There wasn't enough coverage in the back or behind. Bummer.
Not a competitive swim suit
Pamela S.
from Cherry Hill, NJ
on 2/13/2014
This suit had very flimsy thin straps. I would not recommend this to anyone for competitive swimming. I usually have done well with speedo suit grab bags, but not with this one. This is more of a suit one would wear to the beach. It is misrepresented as competitive swimwear.
Great grab bag suit
DAM swimmer
from Winters, CA
on 12/31/2013
Another grab bag winner: suit fits well and I like the color and pattern. I chose the brand and size (my usual size). I like the cut too—thin straps and not too skimpy across the upper back. This suit actually fits better than the non-grab bag suit I ordered at the same time. I am a 58-yr.-old Masters swimmer, swim 4-5 days a week.
luv it!
Shawn M.
from Novato, CA
on 12/22/2013
this is the third time I've done the grab bag and my third success with it. I really like the polyester suits, and I think someone is looking at my buying history because the colors are always my go-to ones!
grab bag swim suit
from Foxboro, MA
on 12/17/2013
The grab bag suits are the best deal around. However, this suit is not as soft as in the past - material is more "scratchy." Also - although I have worn the same size for years, the same size this suit feels too small.
Cute Suit Great Price
Jennifer F.
from Saint George, UT
on 12/11/2013
Love buying these suits in the grab bag!
Can't beat a grab bag suit
Ol'' retired swimmer
from Philly, PA
on 11/19/2013
Love the grab bag suit. It was a cute print that I may not have normally chosen myself, but I like it so it worked out. Honestly it's for recreational lap swimming so as long as it's not see through I don't care what it looks like.
Review of Grab Bag
Yvette V.
from Denton, TX
on 11/9/2013
This suit is great for lap swimming. The fit was true to size and the suit was definitely a great grab bag selection.
Comfortable Suit
from Griffin, GA
on 4/23/2013
I had requested a polyester grab bag suit and thought I would receive one with no spandex. But this suit is 94% polyester and 6% spandex, so I do not expect it to last as long as I had hoped.
This suit is comfortable for training, though. I do not plan on competing in it, however, because it seems to hold a lot of water and is much heavier when wet than my Speedo 50% poly/ 50% pbt suit.
Doesn't fit!
from Bonita Springs, FL
on 4/21/2013
Very disappointed in the grab bag. Not all styles fit the same. The swim suit they sent me doesn't fit because its a completely different style then I wear. I won't order another grab bag unless it specifies style.
Super cute!!
from chicago, illinois
on 3/26/2013
I was super excited when my box from swimoutlet arrived because I couldn't wait to see my grab bag suit. The suit is navy blue/black with different colored thin horizontal stripes and it is something I would have picked out for myself. It fits great and looks great too! True to size-I would highly recommend the grab bag suits.
What a deal!!
Alejandra F.
from San Diego, CA
on 3/8/2013
I can't believe I could get a poly suit for such a great price!! I was scared that the suit would be hideous, but to my surprise, I love it! It's black with thin horizontal stripes in a variety of colors ;) the only thing I would change would be the back (I tend to go for the TYR ring backs or cut out backs) because it has that dreaded circle in the back- which leaves a funny tanline. However, I simply cannot complain because this suit was such an amazing deal!! I'm pleased with the risk I took :)
Perfect practice suit
from Berkeley
on 2/24/2013
I ordered speedo and TYR, and I personally prefer the Speedo(the brand). But TYR is more less risky design wise. The Speedo cut was to much that all my sides were not covered.This TYR is most reliable, moderate and fun design that you can't go wrong. I loved the price!,
straps Hard to put on good value
YMCA swimmer
from Whittier CA
on 2/24/2013
I liked the combinations of yellow and black and the up and down lines in yellow are flattering. The straps are difficult to put on. I usually purchase the cross back Speedo endurance suit and find it easier to get into.
Great durafast suit!
from Gill, MA
on 2/19/2013
I love TYR suits and this was the best grab bag suit I ever got. I love the cut and the fit. The fabric seems like it will hold up to daily swims longer than other poly suits. We'll see....
from SLC, UT
on 2/6/2013
I'm tall and have a muscular build and never know what size to get. If I buy one to fit my chest then its tighter on my shoulders because it not long enough. TYR seems to fit me better than others. I think the suits that have thinner straps its ok to go with your exact size. Thicker straps that's polyester go one size up. This one I went a size up and ended up with a thinner strap. It still fits good but a tiny bit loose on my chest and stomach. Still a great suit! Love it.
A must for swim practice
Swim Mom in OR
from OR
on 6/28/2010
This particular style of TYR is the only suit that works best for my daughter. Her previous Diamondback polyester suit lasted 18 months before we needed to replace it.The colors/designs are great and now she has two practice suits to alternate between during the week - swimming 5 days a week. My daughter has a long torso and is very long and skinny and this is her favorite suit style hands down!

On Boxing Day on BBC-TV they showed a Sherlock Holmes adventure called The Case of the Silk Stocking, starring Rupert Everett as the great detective. If you are puzzled not to recognise the name of this Holmes story, puzzle no longer. It was written by Alan Cubitt, and although my wife and I thought Everett very good in the role, and enjoyed some of the goings on, the story was shaping up quite preposterously by the time some visitors rang our door bell, and we missed the final five minutes and never found out what happened.
What I was not shocked by was the fact that anyone should attempt to concoct a new story based on 221b Baker Street, even if it did involve inventing a completely new fiancée for Dr Watson. Because although it may seem to be sacrilege to imagine you can do the job as well as Conan Doyle, it must also be one of the most universal instincts among writers.
Even Bert Coules has done it. Hehas adapted all the Holmes stories and the four novels for Radio 4, starring Clive Merrison as Holmes. That's 50 stories or more. And when Mr Coules had no more Holmes yarns to adapt, how did he use the skill and knowledge he had gained from vicariously living in Baker Street for so long? Why, he overcame his respect for Conan Doyle and concocted a clutch of brand-new Holmes stories of his own. I heard some of them on Radio 4, and they weren't bad, even if they were slightly far-fetched and over-wrought.
But then, some of Conan Doyle's own stories are pretty far-fetched and odd themselves. The later ones depend more on recondite knowledge and stage machinery than anything else. There are far fewer good touches of character. Some, like The Lion's Mane, need a knowledge of poisonous jellyfish more than of human nature. It is almost as if Conan Doyle was doing his own pastiche of himself.
Well, if he was, he was in good company. It is quite extraordinary how many people have tried to add to the Holmes canon. I cannot imagine anyone writing a new Maigret or Poirot mystery, but the lure of Holmes is quite different. There was a whole series of wartime black-and-white films featuring Holmes in new, lurid, generally anti-Nazi, plots. Billy Wilder did it. Frank Richards, author of the Billy Bunter stories, did it. (In a spirit of healthy mockery, mark you. He wrote a series of knockabout yarns featuring a madcap detective called "Herlock Sholmes".)
I admit to having succumbed to the temptation myself. When the Royal Shakespeare Company first revived the original stage version of Sherlock Holmes, I thought it was a shame not to have staged a Shakespearean version, and I waded out into blank verse with a Bardic transformation of Hamlet, The Case of The Danish Prince. Much later, I collaborated with actor/ musician Simon Gilman to do an hour-long show for the Edinburgh Fringe entitled The Death of Tchaikovsky: a Sherlock Holmes Mystery, which, though I say it myself, was as convincing an explanation of Tchaikovsky's mysterious death as any I have read.
In fact, if anyone out there saw the Sherlock Holmes film with Rupert Everett last Boxing Day, and can remember the ending which we missed, I would be very happy for them to write to me and tell me, in return for which I will tell you how Tchaikovsky happened to be on holiday by the Reichenbach Falls and what he witnessed as Moriarty and Holmes grappled on the edge of the void.
A reader writes: Dear Mr Kington, do you mean to tell me this whole piece was just a pathetic attempt to find out something you missed on the TV?
Miles Kington writes: Well, yes. But it's not so much for me as for the wife.
A reader writes: It is still disgraceful. Wait till the editor reads this!
Miles Kington writes: No danger of that, old chap. He has far better things to do.
