Francis J. Skrinak, 89, of Marblehead, died Tuesday, July 22, 2008, in Stein Hospice Hospital in Sandusky.
Fran was born in Marblehead to Andrew and Anna (Klatcik) Skrinak. Fran was a lifelong resident of Marblehead. He served in World War II as a medic in the U.S. Army 19th Infantry. He was a local postal carrier for Marblehead and Lakeside for 36 years. Fran was a member of the VFW, enjoyed fishing, bowling and bingo. Fran's greatest joy in life was spending time with his three granddaughters, his son, Kim, and his dog, BC.
Fran had a heroic tour of duty in the Asiatic Pacific Theater during World War II as a medic. His medical detachment was assigned to the 24th infantry, Victory Division. Fran was on the front lines for nearly four years, helping the wounded and mortally wounded, many times under heavy bombardment and sniper fire. He was there for the 24th infantry's four beachhead landings on the islands of Mindanao, Mindoro, Leyte, and Romblon Island. He is credited with helping to capture a Japanese headquarters on Romblon Island during a surprise night attack. He received the Asiatic Pacific Theater ribbon with 2 bronze stars, Philippine Liberation ribbon with 2 bronze stars and the Purple Heart. He fought in the Southern Philippine battle as well as New Guinea.
After the war, Fran returned home to his beloved Marblehead where he married his sweetheart, Maise Gerold, who waited for him during his four-year tour of duty. Fran loved living in Marblehead and often said there was no place on earth any better.
Fran is survived by his son, Kim (Liz) Skrinak of Catawba Island; granddaughters, Andrea Roberts of Austin, Texas, and Nikki Skrinak and Krystyn Skrinak, both of Columbus, Ohio; sister, Leona (Kenny) Monak of Marblehead; brother, Raymond Skrinak of Sandusky; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Marilyn (Gerold) Skrinak; parents; brothers, Andrew Skrinak and Sam Skrinak; and sisters, Helen Meter, Clara Skrinak and Josephine Huskey.
Friends and family are invited to visit and share memories 5-8 p.m. Friday in Gerner-Wolf-Walker Funeral Home & Crematory, Port Clinton. Additional visitation will take place from 9 a.m. Saturday until 9:30 a.m. when a celebration of Fran's life begins in St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Marblehead. Interment will be in St. Joseph Cemetery.

Bill O'Brien won't truly know the status of two of his most productive players until the end of the week. Until then, the Penn State coach isn't about to give out too many details.
The Nittany Lions' chances at an upset Saturday at Nebraska could hinge on the availability of Jordan Hill and Kyle Carter. O'Brien said both Hill, his top defensive lineman, and Carter, his most athletic tight end, are day-to-day with their injuries.
They come in every day for treatment, O'Brien said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. Then we take a look at 'em in the training room, in the weight room, out on the field. And really that will be a later-in-the-week decision, whether they can play or not.
O'Brien confirmed that both players were able to do some things in practice on Monday but wouldn't elaborate further.
Hill suffered a sprained knee in the first half against Purdue last week and did not return. Carter injured his ankle at the end of the Ohio State game two weeks ago and did not make the trip to West Lafayette.
On its official injury report, Penn State listed both as day-to-day to match O'Brien's preferred term. In recent years, the program would use the equally vague label of possible for such players.
Both Hill and Carter remain listed as starters on Penn State's depth chart.
True freshman Jesse James stepped in for Carter at F-tight end against Purdue and scored a touchdown. At defensive tackle, fifth-year senior James Terry filled in for Hill for much of the second half last week.
I can tell you he's itching (to play) right now, senior linebacker Michael Mauti said of Hill. He's feeling good right now. … It's just up to him and the trainers and how he feels this week in practice.
Tailback Curtis Dukes, relegated mostly to special teams this season, has been ruled out with a head injury. O'Brien said he believed Dukes suffered a concussion on the opening kickoff last week while playing on the coverage team.
Zach Zwinak took advantage of his increased snaps against Purdue and rushed for a career-high 134 yards while Bill Belton stood on the sideline.
But O'Brien said the process for picking a starter for Saturday will remain the same, with performance in practice being the main factor. After the Purdue game, O'Brien said that was the reason that Belton appeared for just one play and did not touch the ball once.
There's no message being sent, O'Brien said Tuesday. That's just what we do. There's a reason why you practice. You practice to compete and get ready for games, and life is about competition. We try to compete every day and we try to be as fair as we can as coaches and tell the players … why they're playing, and other guys that they need to step it up and tell them why.
Those are conversations between myself and those players. But that's really what the deal with us always will be at Penn State. That we're going to practice hard and reward players that practice the right way.
For the first time since Belton returned from his early season ankle injury Penn State listed the starting tailback spot as being Zwinak or Belton for this week.
As Penn State prepares for the upcoming scholarship limits to hit the program because of NCAA sanctions, the Lions will look to attract more walk-ons – or run-ons as O'Brien now calls them – to the team.
Schools like Nebraska have been famed for having large and productive walk-on programs and O'Brien said Penn State will talk to the 'Huskers and others for advice after the season.
Not just Nebraska, I'm going to reach out to a few programs, O'Brien said. Personally I will reach out to some of those coaches or athletic directors and see how exactly they went about doing that. I already have done that (and will) continue to do that.

x The average starting price for a place to stay in Düsseldorf is £61 per night.
paulrho1 Basically a great hotel, old look and feel inrecpetion and breakfast area, brand new, crisp and fresh in the rooms, great bathroom, good sized plasma on the wall, but no AC which, when its 29 degrees, is a bit of a bummer, but other than that, highly reccomend this hotel. Location, well, its 15 min walk to Alt town which is where all the cafes and bars and action is, but 5 minutes from konigsallee if you watch expensive designer shops Free WiFi in the rooms, and in the lobby, which some hotels in the area charge 10 to 15 euros for. breakfast was great, cold meats, eggs, cheese, bread, cereal, coffee and tea, orange juice, I will definitely be staying again.
Fuerstenwall 180 40215Great 84%
leeart29 very friendly and helpful staff, clean and tidy, good location, 15-20 walks to harbour, altstadt and train station. as much coffee and toast as you would want for breakfast. If you are up early like we was there was always a free shower and toilet. Plenty of sockets for charging laptops, mobiles, etc. Only problem was the loud snorers but thats nothing to do with hostel - but we kept forgetting to buy ear plugs! The only thing I think could be improved on is perhaps 24 hour reception just to make people feel a little safer, however, we really enjoyed our stay and would definately stay again and would recommend to lone travellers, groups and families.

Congratulations. Sounds like a great Airhead.
They are noisy when shifting. Takes some getting used to. Most Airhead riders use "pre-shifting" and say it helps. Before the clutch is pulled in the toe is lifted just enough to remove free play then the shift is performed the standard way. Another technique is to shift with out using the clutch. It is allowed and works better once you get the hang of it.
There should be a kill switch. Sounds like you have a non standard right hand control? The kill switch is a red toggle on the right? Maybe your Grand Dad knows what happened to it.
The side stand and the center stand are more quirky features of the Airheads. There are after market options. The Reynolds Ride Off Center Stands are no longer made I believe but show up at flea markets and such. Probably not really worth the money these days for the Reynolds. But there is a good option for the side stand and it is still made. It is the Brown Side Stand. Also a couple of others are still made but I think the Brown is the most popular.
The bags sound like Krauser's but the wiring does not sound standard. Maybe somebody added some lights?
As far as modifying the front brake there are volumes written on this subject. The handle bar MC is a good beginning. Changing to another style caliper gets involved and is not mentioned often on these forums.

FTC staff pushed for Google antitrust suit...Target may pay $10 million to breach victims...Tesla update adding self-drive to cars
Target has agreed to pay US$10 million in a proposed settlement to a class-action lawsuit stemming from its massive 2013 data breach.
A new kind of point-of-sale malware similar to that which struck Target is being sold in underground markets for $US2000.
President Barack Obama issued an executive order on Friday to have secure chip-and-PIN technology embedded into government-issued credit and debit cards as part of a broader move aimed at stemming payment data breaches.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Gear Review
Gets the job done
Light, simple, good lookin, and gets the job done for a good price. I'm somewhere around 5'9", weigh around 150 lbs, and usually wear pants with a 32" waist. The medium harness fits great. Due to "mtn biker quads/hams" the leg loops get pretty tight over thick/baggy shorts or pants. I'm all about light weight and minimalism, but adjustable leg loops and a little more adjustment in the waist might have saved me from buying another harness to wear over warmer clothes...then again, it gave me a good excuse to buy more gear.

Country Stash
Three Lobed TLR-076
"Stunning new studio album from the duo of Matthew Valentine and Erika Elder joined by a rotating cast of free-folk players. Their studio material usually comes out on either their own Child Of Microtones imprint or "proper" labels such as Time-Lag, Ecstatic Peace and Di Cristina – and of course, any new "official" studio material is always a major cause for celebration round here. My preference is probably for the more spectra-sounding material that appears on the COM label as opposed to the more song-based material on other labels – although 2008's "Drone Trailer" was a personal favourite – therefore, in advance I was not completely sure the direction this material would take. However, I was not expecting something just quite this stunning: Country Stash must stand as one of this artist's most definitive and important releases to date, a release which seems to combine all those elements of psychedelic spectrasound, carefully-crafted real songs and the influence of those extended live jams all into a single album. Overall, the closest comparisons are probably something that sits between Liberty Rose, Bollywoe, Drone Trailer and those recent live Heroines with Mick Flower. MV&EE's previous association with Three Lobed was a vinyl release of the previously issued "Ragas of the Culvert" but here we are treated to 4 brand new immaculate studio conceptions (two in excess of 10 minutes) and a radically re-worked and re-invented studio version of "Tea Devil" that is simply stunning – the definitive version of this track and just possibly the album's highlight.
The album's opener "Foxy One" starts with some gently strummed chords which remain in place throughout the track, acting like the canvas upon which the various musical expressions are created. This is a delightful loose jam based on a few repetitive chords with layers of super psychedelic sounds and spectra vocals dropped on top with subtle precision. In a way this reminds me of David Crosby's If Only I Could Remember My Name where the whole songs on that album develop around a few chords with complex layers of instrumentation and vocals. There are some spell-binding echoey vocals from Erika that are almost ethereal in quality with captivating melodies despite there being no discernible verse/chorus structure. The guitars added throughout are clearly influenced by some recent live jams but show much more subtly crafted consideration, paying as much attention to space as to notes, and timbre as to texture. Plucked guitars sounding like harps, backward looped FX and interweaving guitar lines all combine to produce a sonic tapestry – it's that good. This is a masterpiece spectra jam which finishes with what must be the first proper MV&EE harmony. At 4m30s as the guitars drop with only Erika's vocal remaining MV comes in with a harmony which sounds like something off Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue – simply sublime and then it's gone. The album is filled with these kind of treasures that are uncovered with repeat spins. Next up is "Crash Palace of Records" which is more song-based with captivating melodies which just take your there. In a sense I think this has the same aesthetic as Jeremy Earl's Woods, who similar to MV&EE have a wild psychedelic live sound but on record simply focus on carefully crafted songs and melody. The album's centrepiece and title track "Country Stash" is an epic 13 minute kraut/kosmische rock infused jam. The song starts with a beautiful psychedelic guitar line with a repeating looped flute sound in the background. There is an almost euphoric feel to the music with the sound of underwater guitars that also seem to ebb and flow, reminding me of the kind of musical high I get when listening to Neu!75. It is completely consuming, as if lifting you up on some kind of Byrds-ian magic carpet ride. The song develops into a long psychedelic west coast style jam with some of the guitar playing reminding me of Ripley Johnson (of Moon Duo and Wooden Shjips) in places, given the slight kosmische vibe. Live I can really see this one being stretched into epic proportions. Side two opens with a radically re-worked studio version of "Tea Devil" that surpasses all previous versions. It comes crawling in like a black snake moan with the sound of the march of a Mississippi voodoo queen. The twisting interlocking guitar and bass lines (courtesy of Mick Flower) have an almost sexual or sensual feel to them. The recording of the vocals is simply sublime, even enchanting. As MV joins Erika after a few lines I am not sure whether the double-tracked vocals sounds like the chant of a medicine man or some early gospel blues duet like "Keep your lamp trimmed and burning". You read it here first when we were going wild about that version of "Tea Devil" from the Subcurrent show documented on I Left My Wallet In The Trossachs and "those beautiful high-end strummed sliding chords" – well, they first appear here at 2m17s and re-emerge throughout transcending the song. Lyrics about "marrying a railroad man", "having your Sunday dollar in your hand" and "carrying a heavy load" evoke the spirit of southern Mississippi. Taking the source and influences of early country and electric blues MV&EE have completely re-invented psychedelic free folk blues in the same radical way as the British blues boom bands of the early-mid 60s or the West Coast groups of circa '67 made it relevant for their time – on this performance no one else comes close. Closing track "No There, There" and is another super psychedelic masterpiece with spacey spectrasound vocals that are completely absorbing. The track opens with the wildest sounding "environ" harmonica over a jerkily strummed acoustic guitar. This develops into a sweet stretched jam of acoustic and electric guitars creating a hazy psychedelic soundscape, again reminding me of the feel and sound of If I Could Only Remember My Name. Even the title shares some similarities with David Crosby's ongoing theme of altered state/confusion with tracks like "Deja-vu", "Where Will I Be?" and "Laughing". There are too many highlights to choose: at 5m37s the combination of psychedelic harmonica and wild wah-wah chords, at the 7m10s the oscillating feedback guitar notes emitting beacons of sound. MV&EE's recent live jams have been getting more experimental and so I was prepared here for sweeping waves of lunar sounds transcending the sonic trajectory but I wasn't quite expecting them to land the goddamn mothership – you've got to hear this. Just when I thought MV's influence from Eastern and mid-Eastern music was absent, a short raga passage closes the record. At 9m46s a tabla drum appears followed by some light lucid meanderings of raga guitar from MV and some gentle country slide guitar from EE – the perfect combination of eastern and western cultures. Lasting only a couple of minutes before fading, this possibly sets the scene for a more jazz, improvisational or raga type of musical presentation from this artist later in the year – we await with anticipation.
Overall, I think this has to be one of the most complete performances yet from this artist and a landmark statement. There are too many highlights to choose but possibly that vocal harmony at the end of "Foxy One", the euphoric wave at the start of "Country Stash" or a second side which is as perfect a side of a record as I have heard. And if all that wasn't enough, then it comes on thick black wax with a free download code, and, in the usual Three Lobed style, is housed in a thick cardboard sleeve which looks, feels and even smells great. For those that have been following my reviews of the Heroine releases I don't even need to tell you that this comes with my absolute highest possible recommendation!" – Andrew Ross.

Results (doesn't tell much of the story) --
Awake: 11:20AM
Noon: Good start to the day. (40 blog)
Food: 3 eggs, peanuts, coconut oil, coffee.
2:50PM: Hmm, got slightly off-track. Mix of distraction, and necessary stuff. (60 semi-productive, 30 general-life, 60 distraction)
5:50PM: It's so easy to get caught in doing somewhat valuable things. (90 semi-productive, 120 social)
Rest of the day: Spent thinking about how to generate high creativity, followed by amazing conversation and figuring the stuff out on paper. Huge dividends coming henceforth, I think.
Slept around 6AM.
From 5:50PM to 6AM, I was broadly looking at the question, "What causes high creativity?" I came up some remarkable answers -- it's already the next day, and huge gains follow. I'll have more analysis later, but basically, I was looking at why things were difficult / not flowing, and tried to build something better around that. After 1 day, it looks very promising... updates to follow over the next few days.
After Day Two was off the rails entirely, I wanted to rest and recuperate a little, so I set my benchmarks low. Okay, I'd rather gear down and be Conan the Barbarian with a big ol' sword, but it didn't work out like that.
Here was my plan, emphasis added --
Wake 5:30PM (7 hours sleep… hmm). GGW call scheduled for 6PM.
GGW call concludes… 7PM?
I am not planning to have any cheat day in my slow carb diet. Also, I will not be having any recovery day in my exercise regime.
I feel having a cheat day will make me crave carbs for the remaining six days and it is always easy to do anything daily without missing out. Inertia at play here, I guess.
For workouts I have active rest with swimming so I didn't feel any real need for a recovery day.
My concern is that I am not eating enough protein. I plan to change this from tomorrow. Today was more like an IF day. Also because of all this tracking the quality of my posts is going WAY down. I must work on these two things.

CLARKSBURG, West Virginia (CNN) -- The FBI is gearing up to create a massive computer database of people's physical characteristics, all part of an effort the bureau says to better identify criminals and terrorists.
The FBI wants to use eye scans, combined with other data, to help identify suspects.
1 of 3 But it's an issue that raises major privacy concerns -- what one civil liberties expert says should concern all Americans.
The bureau is expected to announce in coming days the awarding of a $1 billion, 10-year contract to help create the database that will compile an array of biometric information -- from palm prints to eye scans.
Kimberly Del Greco, the FBI's Biometric Services section chief, said adding to the database is "important to protect the borders to keep the terrorists out, protect our citizens, our neighbors, our children so they can have good jobs, and have a safe country to live in."
But it's unnerving to privacy experts.
"It's the beginning of the surveillance society where you can be tracked anywhere, any time and all your movements, and eventually all your activities will be tracked and noted and correlated," said Barry Steinhardt, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Technology and Liberty Project.
The FBI already has 55 million sets of fingerprints on file. In coming years, the bureau wants to compare palm prints, scars and tattoos, iris eye patterns, and facial shapes. The idea is to combine various pieces of biometric information to positively identify a potential suspect.
A lot will depend on how quickly technology is perfected, according to Thomas Bush, the FBI official in charge of the Clarksburg, West Virginia, facility where the FBI houses its current fingerprint database.
"Fingerprints will still be the big player," Bush, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division, told CNN.
But he added, "Whatever the biometric that comes down the road, we need to be able to plug that in and play."
First up, he said, are palm prints. The FBI has already begun collecting images and hopes to soon use these as an additional means of making identifications. Countries that are already using such images find 20 percent of their positive matches come from latent palm prints left at crime scenes, the FBI's Bush said.
The FBI has also started collecting mug shots and pictures of scars and tattoos. These images are being stored for now as the technology is fine-tuned. All of the FBI's biometric data is stored on computers 30-feet underground in the Clarksburg facility.
In addition, the FBI could soon start comparing people's eyes -- specifically the iris, or the colored part of an eye -- as part of its new biometrics program called Next Generation Identification.
Nearby, at West Virginia University's Center for Identification Technology Research, researchers are already testing some of these technologies that will ultimately be used by the FBI.
"The best increase in accuracy will come from fusing different biometrics together," said Bojan Cukic, the co-director of the center.
But while law enforcement officials are excited about the possibilities of these new technologies, privacy advocates are upset the FBI will be collecting so much personal information.
"People who don't think mistakes are going to be made I don't think fly enough," said Steinhardt.
He said thousands of mistakes have been made with the use of the so-called no-fly lists at airports -- and that giving law enforcement widespread data collection techniques should cause major privacy alarms.
"There are real consequences to people," Steinhardt said. Watch concerns over more data collection »
You don't have to be a criminal or a terrorist to be checked against the database. More than 55 percent of the checks the FBI runs involve criminal background checks for people applying for sensitive jobs in government or jobs working with vulnerable people such as children and the elderly, according to the FBI.
The FBI says it hasn't been saving the fingerprints for those checks, but that may change. The FBI plans a so-called "rap-back" service in which an employer could ask the FBI to keep the prints for an employee on file and let the employer know if the person ever has a brush with the law. The FBI says it will first have to clear hurdles with state privacy laws, and people would have to sign waivers allowing their information to be kept.
Critics say people are being forced to give up too much personal information. But Lawrence Hornak, the co-director of the research center at West Virginia University, said it could actually enhance people's privacy.
"It allows you to project your identity as being you," said Hornak. "And it allows people to avoid identity theft, things of that nature." Watch Hornak describe why he thinks it's a "privacy enhancer" »
There remains the question of how reliable these new biometric technologies will be. A 2006 German study looking at facial recognition in a crowded train station found successful matches could be made 60 percent of the time during the day. But when lighting conditions worsened at night, the results shrank to a success rate of 10 to 20 percent.
As work on these technologies continues, researchers are quick to admit what's proven to be the most accurate so far. "Iris technology is perceived today, together with fingerprints, to be the most accurate," said Cukic.
But in the future all kinds of methods may be employed. Some researchers are looking at the way people walk as a possible additional means of identification.
The FBI says it will protect all this personal data and only collect information on criminals and those seeking sensitive jobs.
The ACLU's Steinhardt doesn't believe it will stop there.
"This had started out being a program to track or identify criminals," he said. "Now we're talking about large swaths of the population -- workers, volunteers in youth programs. Eventually, it's going to be everybody."

While tight garters provide temporary relief to hide peeking fats, they're not enough to keep them from saying hi during a surprise visit by friends and relatives. Evict unwanted bulges permanently with today's Groupon: have a Hypoxi treatment plus personal training sessions at Zodiac Salon starting from AED 119.
Developed by Dr. Norbert Eggert in the late 90s, Hypoxi is a non-evasive targeted method of body shaping, effectively shedding off persistent stomach fat pads, fats on hips, buttocks and thighs. The method taps the natural principles of lipid metabolism to systematically reduce undesired fat deposits not achieved in traditional methods. The treatment likewise improves skin complexion and personal supervision of an experienced coach ensures long-term effectiveness.
There are 3 types of Hypoxi machines: sitting down (working hips & thighs), standing up (working stomach) , lying down (working all body) , each different machine works on different areas . The machine Increases blood circulation so it burns fat at a quicker pace.
The most important aspect of successfully reducing body fat is optimal blood circulation in the concerned body areas. The concerned body areas are systematically put under pressure – achieved with vacuum (based on the principle of cupping) and compression (meaning treatment with positive pressure), with the kinetic moderate kinetic exercise stimulating metabolism. Redundant fat is activated and transported via the blood circulation to be burned in the muscles. The procedure also improves the unattractive appearance of cellulite and strengthens the dermal and connective tissue to firm and improve complexion.
The training will be patterned according to a client's individual needs to guarantee safety and convenience.

Why is my Gouache going on so streaky?
I just bought a basic set of gouache to mess around with to paint quicker illustrations. But I can't seem to get that nice smooth matte finish that I've seen in other's gouache paintings. Mine is lumpy and streaky or if I water it down it just looks like water colors and isn't that nice chalky matte finish. I've spent an hour wasting a lot of paint trying to figure this out. But I've got nothing. I have zero idea what's gone wrong. I want that nice crisp finish with no visible brush strokes.
I'm using Winsor & Newton Designer's Gouache, not that I even sort of think it's the paint brand. It's totally me.
I'm painting on un-gessoed paper.

I really don't think it's the medium. It's just practice and experience. Because I have a friend who can do the same thing with acrylics. No one believes it's not gouache cause it's very matte and very smooth. So it's all about knowing how to lay the paint down.

Yeah gouache is a pain as some colors need less water in comparison to others. It's usually trial and error to get that matte look. And you kinda apply the paint like watercolors. It was fun when I tried it last year, but I got a bit impatient with the whole "colors changing into a different value when it dries" aspect.

The paint can be a bit finicky. You have to get the right water to paint ratio. I've heard some people describe it as a "thick cream". Some colours are more opaque than others, so I end up bulking them out a bit with white pigment.
Don't overwork the area and remember the colours will dry different to how they look wet. Personally, I think you shouldn't worry about that smooth matte effect for now, and just get a better feel for the paint.
My somewhat amateur opinion, anyway.

I'm using them in the color and design class at AAU, they're a pain. Let me say that again; They are a pain.
Basically the consistency should look like melted ice cream, use soft bristled brushes and don't over work the area. They also don't work to well if you layer colors on top of one another (lumpy), so you'll have to plan out your composition so that highlights, midtones and shadows all butt up against each other.
Personally if you're wanting to do quicker illos stick to acrylic it's cheaper, less finicky and the colors dry truer. With gouache the colors dry alot darker or lighter than the wet paint.

Thinking back to my college days I never seemed to have a problem with gouache. We used Pelikan in jars. I used sable and synthetic flats for any large areas and W&N series 7s (#3 & 6) for details and other brushwork.
Paint was thinned to the consistency of thick cream.

About ITCA 650
ITCA 650 (DUROS® continuous subcutaneous delivery of exenatide) is being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The investigational therapy comprises Intarcia's DUROS delivery device, a matchstick-size, miniature osmotic pump that is inserted subcutaneously to provide continuous and consistent drug therapy, and the company's proprietary formulation technology, which maintains stability of therapeutic proteins and peptides at human body temperatures for extended periods of time. The combined technologies can deliver up to a full year of injection-free therapy from a single ITCA 650 placement.
Data from Intarcia's ITCA 650 Phase 2 program have demonstrated significant and sustained reductions in HbA1c and body weight over 48 weeks of treatment with a marked reduction in the GI adverse events typically associated with the self-injection products in this class. ITCA 650 is an investigational new therapy and is not currently approved by any regulatory authority. Exenatide, the active agent in ITCA 650, is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist currently marketed globally as a twice-daily and once-weekly self-injection therapy for type 2 diabetes. Upon approval, ITCA 650 would represent the first injection-free GLP-1 therapy that can deliver up to a full year of treatment from a single placement. Intarcia's robust intellectual pro

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Receiver McGrathNicol has appointed independent advisory firm Record Point for the sale of Hastie Group's Hastie Services and Spectrum Fire and Safety businesses, a person familiar with the matter said.
Hastie Services is the group's heating, ventilation and air-conditioning division, and it operates in Australia's New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland states.
The two businesses earn more than 300 million Australian dollars (US$299 million) in revenue and up to A$15 million in earnings before interest and tax, or EBIT.
Is this the silver lining?
Nomura believes Hastie Group's collapse could benefit Wesfarmers, which has previously indicated interest in expanding its Industrial & Safety division.
"An acquisition of Hastie Group could, in our view, significantly increase Wesfarmers' Industrial & Safety sales, increase the proportion of sales derived from services (potentially annuity in nature), and provide diversification from its present 32% mining exposure," Nomura analyst David Cooke said in a note to clients.
A "substantial number" of Hastie Group creditors are unlikely to get their money back, the Australian engineering group's administrators said Monday.
Virtually all of Australia's banks had involvement with the company, Ian Carson, a representative of PPB Advisory said at a media conference in Melbourne, adding that Hastie's debt may have amounted to 500 million Australian dollars (US$492 million).
Lazard Private Equity invested around A$50 million in 2011, a person familiar with the matter said.

text: Hi, sorry but I cant find any info on this so I am going to ask here: When I first launched the game it opened windowed, so I set the resolution to my monitor's res (1920x1080) and made it Fullscreen. Ever since then the game crashes upon loading even after uninstalling it and reinstalling. I even uninstalled the Desura client and reinstalled it and it still crashes before the main menu. It did not do this before I made the res and screen change. If no reply, that's fine. The game looks really fun.

for application include medicine as well as distance education (Olsen, 2000; Young, 2000b).
Information technology thus presents significant opportunities for those in the higher-education enterprise who seek new and better approaches to teaching and learning, research, and public service (National Education Association, 2000; Carr, 2000b; Mendels, 1999). However, the effective use of knowledge in such forms may well require a rethinking of many current assumptions about education in general and the research university in particular (Hanna, 2000; Wulf, 1995).
This chapter is intended to provide an overview of information-technology advances that the panel expects to see over the next decade. Two caveats should be kept in mind. First, the focus of the chapter is on anticipated hardware advances. Yet equivalent advances will be necessary in software development. We face major challenges in cracking the "complexity barrier" in software and developing software systems that diagnose, repair, and protect themselves (National Research Council, 2002 and 2000b). Today's large, complex, and critical information systems may involve hundreds of thousands of computers, be based on millions of lines of code, and operate almost continuously, making them more difficult to design and maintain, and vulnerable in unexpected ways. For example, a growing number of large-scale projects have either been cancelled without being deployed or have experienced significant problems in service (National Research Council, 2000b).
The second caveat is to not confuse technological feasibility with commercial and social reality. Changes in technology will be enormous over the next 10 years (not to mention the next 20), and the rate of change is increasing. But individuals, as well as social institutions like the university, cannot rapidly change their behaviors. The fact that we are approaching a time in which communication and access to a great deal of the world's information will be possible in an instant and at near-zero cost does not necessarily mean that education, or other sorts of "knowledge work," will have changed at the same rate. While information technology does hold out the promise of enabling advances in the educational, research, and service functions of the research university, realizing this promise will require time and considerable institutional adaptation.
One of the university's greatest challenges, in fact, will be managing the great discrepancy between technological and

News & Updates
New ShareGrid Commercial
Check out the flagship ShareGrid commercial I directed! Along side some of my dear friends and colleagues, who donated so much time and effort. We were able to rock it and I couldn't be prouder!
ShareGrid Updates
2014 has been one heck of a year for me. I'll spare you the list but if one thing has owned my year, it's my new company, ShareGrid. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, ShareGrid is a peer-to-peer platform for filmmakers and photographers to rent gear, to and from one another. We verify each and every member and we have an exclusive partnership with our good friends Athos Insurance!
So, this past year has been full of challenges, many small victories and an incredibly fulfilling journey. I'm happy to say that we are close to opening the doors in early 2015 and I can't wait to see what's in store. We've received incredible feedback from articles on Petapixel, DPreview, Premium Beat and Pop Photo. I'm humbled to get this kind of attention in our infancy and can only imagine what kind of buzz we'll generate during our expansion. We've also received thousands of applications from literally all over the world! Europe, South Africa, India, Australia and just about every state in the US. That alone as been the most validating experience for me.
So what have we been working on this whole time? Well…we've built an integrated insurance platform so when you rent gear, you can purchase or upload previously purchased insurance right there on the spot! No one is doing this! We've ran countless tests, squashed bugs, added geographical searching features, expanded our categories, manually on-boarded each and every member and worked hard to expand our inventory in our beta alone. We now feature grip/electric and audio gear!
2015 will prove to be yet another whirlwind of a year and I can't wait! I'm excited to see how ShareGrid will help the indy filmmaker in all of us express our vision, connect with others and save/make some cash in the process. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com. I look forward to seeing you in our marketplace in 2015.
Happy Sharing and Happy New Year.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Dragic: (The foul) was not intentional
Suns guard Goran Dragic did not practice Thursday before the team left on its three-game, four-day road trip.
"I'm sore, especially my butt, my wrist," he said. "But it's normal."
Normal only after factoring in how hard he hit the floor after being undercut by the Knicks J.R. Smith on a drive to the basket in the closing seconds of the second quarter.
"It was not intentional," Dragic said of what the officials ruled as a Flagrant 1 foul. "He bumped me with his shoulder on my leg; and I just lose control and fall awkwardly."
Dragic missed the subsequent free throws and then exited the game. He spent the remainder of the 99-97 loss to the Knicks in the locker room with what the team reported as hip, wrist and back contusions.
"You want to help the team," Dragic said of why he wanted to shoot the foul shots. "And then, after that, when I sit on the bench, I just felt weird.
"In the end, it could be worse. I could've hit my head on the floor or something like that."
Dragic is hopeful he'll be able to play at Indiana.
Head coach Alvin Gentry isn't so sure.
"It was a really tough fall," Gentry said. "We've got another 24 hours (but) I think it would be tough for him to line up against Indiana (Friday) night. He's a tough, tough kid so Minnesota (on Saturday), he may be okay."
Dragic said his left wrist feels fine. His backside is what took the brunt of the fall.
"Especially I'm really skinny," he said. "The butt is really hurting me right now."

Why I DONT Want them to Open Source them
The current drivers are not just OK, they are fantastic. I have been running three different NVidia cards under linux since the pre 1.0 series, and have never had more than a minor problem BEFORE 1.5, SINCE I have had 0 problems. They work awesome on any game I throw at them, and support all kinds of advanced features like TwinView TvOut, FSAA, etc flawlessly. Compared feature for feature to the linux ATI drivers, ATI is not even in the same galaxy. The ATI drivers are feature limited, slow, and unstable. I know this because I also recently had a Radeon card.
If they Open Sourced them, this would all go away. You know why? The reason the current drivers are so good is that they are MADE by NVidia, by employees PAID to make them, whereas the ATI drivers have virtually 0 support from ATI, its pretty much an independant effort. Sure, ATI makes the original reference ones, then throws out a spec sheet and says "have fun", saying "hey, we can get the drivers developed / maintained for free, why shoudl we waste effort?" No wonder they blow. I do not want this to happen to the current excellent NVidia drivers.
Come on, do you really think you are going to be able to make drivers better than the people who MAKE the hardware? I am all for Open Source in software, but in my drivers, I don't really give a damn. NVidia is not restricting anyones rights, the software would be useless without their hardware in the first place. All I want is stability, performance, and features on par with the windows drivers. And the NVidia Linux drivers have this in spades (they even have some TwinView features the Windows ones do not!!!)
End of rant. Now everyone get off their high horse and stop whining about such a stupid issue.
Official maintained drivers are just that, regardless of the licence. I don't see how releasing specs to hardware to allow 3rd party drivers can have a negative impact on existing drivers, If anything the effect could be positive if the free drivers outperformed the closed drivers.
Re: Why I DONT Want them to Open Source them
That's not unstable, that's unsupported.
Unstable is "it oopses all the time"...
Re:I am a troll!
Yes, indeed you are a troll...
Why would you use an Open Source OS and then complain about Open Source?
Ok, so you are saying that Open Source is not good enough for you... then go back to your XP setup and be quiet...
Does anyone really believe that a couple of programmers can do the job better than a couple of hundreds of thousand programmers? if you do... then go closed source and be ignorant...
Oh, and the Linux drivers truly suck, the worst part of code i got in my system, Nvidia programmers should be ashamed of themselves...
IF Nvidia went Open Source, all those specs would be available to the Open Source programmers... Hundreds of thousands of programmers with ideas, Nvidia would of course assemble the best of the best and release a driver, if there is a bug, in less than 36 hours you would find a fix, a simple patch, to patch the OS code...
Before you make any kind of statement like that, please educate yourself in Open Source programming.. until then.. STOP POSTING!
Oh, and those of you who use debian and Phoenix (i will still refuse to call it MozillaFirebird) there is something for you in the latest CVS release...
Open Souce works....
Bulk Reply
Heres a reply to a bunch of comments:
This does not apply to drivers. the benefits would only be realized by NVidia card owners who already bought the card, so its not free of charge. And the quality of the code would not be as good as from the sourc e(NVidia), because no matter what specs I have access to, 1) I don't have 40 hours a week worth of my time to invest in it, and 2) I didn't *DESIGN* the hardware, so I don't know the little quirks and optimizations I can make due to things that aren't really in the specs.
Show me an ATI driver developed by the community that's even in the same ballpark as NVidia, and I will retract this. Until then, all your arguments are moot, since the real proof is right there with the ATI failure.
Surprise, surprise, here's SnapIT posting again.
:rolleyes: Shut up and do it better yourself, or go away.
Re: Bulk Reply
Drivers are very much integrated into the system, AMD, Adaptec and lots of other companies have OSS'd their drivers, good tor them...
For me, a programmer with extensive knowledge about how the kernel works, with extensive knowledge about the X setup i still have problems with Nvidia drivers, if they had the source available i could make it better, but i don't even have the specs... so...
To me, i could just as well use any old card with a good ramdac and without any processor at all, i cannot use it anyway...
Do you understand that i feel cheated, oh, there are drivers for linux, well, they don't WORK, i would say that is pretty critical...

Make free and easy at the relaxed Sychpwll Centre on the banks of the River Vyrnwy, where you'll find a five-acre camping field to pick your own pitch: all sizes of tent are accepted and campers can park their cars alongside their tents.
Sychpwll is an eco-friendly smallholding that's grown organically over the past 30 years. The site uses a 'leave no trace' camping as a major policy where guests are asked to dispose of their waste and recycling in a responsible manner. Leaving no trace is also essential when building campfires, as these must be off the ground so as not to scorch the grass: if you're planning on having a fire, be Boy or Girl Scout prepared and bring a suitable container or brazier with you. Wood is available to buy on site.
If it's too wet for a campfire, the friendly owners will fire up the Rayburn in the straw bale kitchen and have boiling water ready so you can dry off or enjoy a morning cuppa if you want it before getting ready for a day exploring the Welsh countryside.

Blackpool Tower and the Winter Gardens, Blackpool. July 1920. The Winter Gardens, together with the Tower and its attendant buildings, established Blackpool as the premier seaside resort in England. It is a vast entertainment complex containing a number of individual elements built round a pre-existing house over a long period between 1875 and 1939. Since completion in 1894 the Blackpool Tower had not been painted properly and the steelwork had started to corrode. Between 1921 and 1924 all of the steelwork was renewed.
