Mount Halcon or Monte Halcón is a mountain located in the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. Its height of 2,586 m (8,482 ft) makes it the 18th highest peak in the Philippines.[1] Its slopes have earned it the title to be the most difficult mountain to climb in the country.
Mt. Halcon is home to the indigenous Alangan Mangyans.[2] Its thick vegetation contains much flora and fauna, including the critically endangered Mindoro bleeding-heart which is endemic in the area,[3] and the stick insect Conlephasma enigma, which was first described in 2012.[4]
The mountain was also the location of a possible World War II Japanese holdout. Isao Miyazawa found evidence that his comrade Captain Fumio Nakahara was living there in 1957.[5] Another search in 1977 was called off due to Miyazawa contracting malaria.[6] In 1980, Miyazawa found Nakahara's hut, and the natives talked to him extensively about the foreigner.[7] However, Miyazawa himself has never been spotted.

Best book I read in all of 2014
This is true story telling. At the end of this tale I felt full and yet felt as if the story had taken something from me as much as I had from it. I may be treading in waffle country but I just had to say something...
Conor's mother is not well: since her treatments started, she's lost all her hair, she's always feeling tired and often throws up. But Conor doesn't want help, especially not his grandma's, with whom he doesn't get on, and not his dad's, who now lives in America with his new family. So Conor looks after his mum, and doesn't tell her that he has the same nightmare nearly every night, that he's getting bullied at school, and that the teachers reserve a special treatment for him because they can't imagine what he "must be going through". Then one night a monster shows up at his house, but it's not the one from his nightmare, and as they gradually develop a rapport, Conor realises why it has come ...
I loved the idea of stories being wild and untamed, causing trouble and not behaving as they should, making the listener think and reflect. This is one of them: a story that defies your expectations and challenges your preconceptions. It is a fairly mature book in terms of subject matter, probably not suitable for anyone under the age of 11 owing to its harrowing nature dealing with death, grief and bereavement. It is all very sensitively written, with great psychological insight, yet at the same time leaves nothing to the imagination, and Conor's struggle, especially at the end, cuts deep to the heart. I can see how this book could be very beneficial to someone undergoing a similar bereavement as the one described in the book: Conor's feelings of being isolated and invisible, helplessness and guilt, getting special treatment from the teachers and being singled out by bullies at school because of his mother; the things the adults tell Conor all ring true as well: grown-ups resorting to white lies and platitudes because they feel that this is what the child needs to hear, avoiding telling the truth, or maybe because they themselves are feeling helpless being faced with the death of a loved one.
The story is enhanced by the most extraordinary illustrations by Jim Kay; wonderfully atmospheric and eerie, they're like small pieces of art.
This is not an easy read, and definitely not the usual Young Adult fiction one is used to, but an example of powerful and impressive storytelling nonetheless. Recommended.
The cover of "A Monster Calls" might make a person think it belongs in the horror genre but it's far from it. Keep your tissues handy as you read this book but by all means read it. A young boy's mother is dying from cancer and he calls on an ancient power to save her. The "help" he receives is a bit like the ripping off of a band-aid, so painful but necessary. I don't want to say too much because the moment the boy learns the Monster's true purpose was one of my favorite parts of the book. I discovered it as he did and felt it's power. Some books you read and truly feel the magic. This was one of those.
i don't want to blast a really good book like this. so, i won't. but i will still make some critical comments about it.
i liked that the monster was real. i think. no matter, it felt real and was described realistically to good effect. at times, i got the monster viscerally and it was creepy and foreboding. the use of ancient myths and deities that are usually off the beaten path allowed the reality of it to blossom more than using a mythos we're more familiar with would have.
the boy's relationships with his grandmother, his friend Lily, his mother, and his schoolmates are counterpointed nicely from his encounters with the monster in the dark. even his dealings with the bullies seem bright and full of light compared to the monster visits. a tug of war ensues between these two worlds and the boy faces fears and attempts to squirm away from realities.
so, the story is told fairly well and could be of great help to anyone (but most especially a child or adolescent) going through a loved one's struggle with cancer. the ultimate and most private truth the boy harbors lurks near the heart of all our grief and might be a surprise or revelation to many.
my problems with this book are really minor but they do keep it from being a great book, i think. the monster falters at least once in talking about Deep Things because the author himself is out of his depth at that point. shouldn't write beyond what you know. also, some of the dialog especially near the end of the book is repetitive, annoying, and unrefined as if the author was rushing or trying to add tension/heighten anxiety through manic writing. there were other, more pedantic problems that i won't mention but added together weighted the book down from flying into the realm of Gaiman's Graveyard Book.
however, these detracting points do not mean it's not a good book in it's own right. several times it moved me to tears from sadness, hopelessness, but also from the joy of friendship and power of love.
"... it's powerful medicine: a story that lodges in your bones and stays there." "A Monster Calls" is a gift from a generous storyteller and a potent piece of art.
The power of this beautiful and achingly sad story for readers over the age of 12 derives not only from Mr. Ness's capacity to write heart-stopping prose but also from Jim Kay's stunning black-ink illustrations. There are images in these pages so wild and ragged that they feel dragged by their roots from the deepest realms of myth.
It's also an extraordinarily beautiful book. Kay's menacing, energetic illustrations and the way they interact with the text, together with the lavish production values, make it a joy just to hold in your hand. If I have one quibble, it is with a line in the introduction where Ness says the point of a story is to "make trouble". It seems to me he has done the opposite here. He's produced something deeply comforting and glowing with – to use a Siobhan Dowd word – solace. The point of art and love is to try to shortchange that grim tax collector, death. Ness, Dowd, Kay and Walker have rifled death's pockets and pulled out a treasure. Death, it seems, is no disqualification.

Campaign Work, Monday, 01 October 2012 12:21PM
The spot was directed by Karmarama's creative director Sam Walker, who said: "The core of this campaign is all about speed for all, so what better way to bring this to life than 11 stunt drivers and an old lady driving round a racetrack at 100mph? The most challenging element of the shoot was getting the old lady through the window of the Nascar. Turns out Nascars don't have doors that open."

2014-15 Season
Pride and Prejudice
Adapted by Jon Jory
Directed by Michael Najjar
November 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22 at 8pm, 16 at 2pm
All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense — but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match of all?

Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before. In this fast moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know.

An Arctic Story
by Chantal Bilodeau
Directed by Theresa May
Apr 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25 at 8pm, 26 at 2pm
The first play of The Arctic Cycle, Sila examines the competing interests shaping the future of the Canadian Arctic and local Inuit population. Set on Baffin Island in the territory of Nunavut, it follows a climate scientist, an Inuit activist and her daughter, two Canadian Coast Guard officers, an Inuit elder and two polar bears as they see their values challenged and their lives become intricately intertwined. Equal parts Inuit myth and contemporary Arctic policy, Sila uses puppetry, projections, spoken word poetry and three different languages. West Coast Premiere!
Comedy of Errors
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Joseph Gilg
May 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, June 5, 6 at 8pm, May 31 at 2pm
Take one pair of estranged twin brothers (both called Antipholus), and one pair of estranged twin servants (both called Dromio), keep them in ignorance of each other and throw them into a city with a reputation for sorcery, and you have all the ingredients for theatrical chaos. One Antipholus is astonished by his foreign hospitality; the other enraged by the hostility of his home town. The Dromios, caught between the two, are soundly beaten for obeying all the wrong orders. Basing his plot on a farce by Plautus, Shakespeare caps the mayhem of his Roman original to build up a hectic tale of violent cross-purposes, furious slapstick and social nightmare.

Geographic Range
Rusa unicolor are native to India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Burma, Sri Lanka, Philippines, southern China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, and Java (Medway, 1969). Sambars have also been successfully introduced in Australia, New Zealand, California, Florida and Texas (Nowak, 1999). (Medway, 1969; Nowak, 1999)
- Biogeographic Regions
- nearctic
- palearctic
- oriental
- australian
Sambars inhabit both gently sloping and steep forested hillsides. They reside preferably near cultivated areas, such as gardens and plantations, in order to acquire food, but are also found in thick forests, swamp forests, and open scrub (Payne et al., 1985). Some of these deer may move between higher altitudes in the summer to lower, more sheltered areas during the winter months (Nowak, 1999). (Nowak, 1999; Payne, et al., 1985)

Physical Description
Sambars have a coarse coat of short, dark hair with lighter brown to creamy white hair on their undersides (Tate, 1947). The backsides and undersides of their bushy tails are white, and when raised, the tails are used as signals (Nowak, 1999). Males are generally larger than females and posess a dense mane on their necks. Male Sambars have antlers with three or four tines, and these antlers are periodically shed and replaced. Antlers can reach lengths of up to 100 cm. The maximum size for males is 185-260 kg, and about 162 kg for females (Medway, 1969). (Medway, 1969; Nowak, 1999; Tate, 1947)

- 240.09 to 572.69 lb
- Range length

- 63.78 to 96.85 in
Male Sambars are solitary and very agressive during the breeding season, while females may be found in groups of up to 8 individuals (Nowak, 1999). Their mating system is polygynous, with one male mating with as many females as he can. (Nowak, 1999)
- Mating System
- polygynous
Sambars have no specific breeding season, but breeding most commonly occurs from September through January. Usually only one fawn is born at a time, and the gestation period is about 9 months. (Medway, 1969). At birth, Rusa unicolor are very active and have brown hair with lighter spots, which are soon lost shortly (Medway,1969). Fawns weigh about 10 kg at birth. Males develop small antlers at one to two years; at three years antlers have two points, and adult males have antlers with three or four points (Payne et al., 1985). Females reach sexual maturity at approximately two years of age (Nowak, 1999). Males are aggressive towards one another during the mating season and actively defend territories, mating with multiple females that enter the area. Males mark their territory with scent glands, and as many as 8 females at a time may remain with one male within his range (Nowak, 1999). (Medway, 1969; Nowak, 1999; Payne, et al., 1985)

Sambars are mostly nocturnal, resting during the day in heavy forest cover (Medway, 1969). These deer are solitary but may be found in small groups during the mating season. Also, groups of up to 6 females with dependent young may travel together (Payne et al., 1985). Males are nomadic and establish territories primarily during breeding seasons. All sambars are proficient swimmers (Nowak, 1999). (Medway, 1969; Nowak, 1999; Payne, et al., 1985)

Communication and Perception
Food Habits
Sambars generally feed at dusk or at night, and they browse on leaves, berries, grasses, bark from young trees, fallen fruit, herbs and buds. They browse mainly at clearings and forest edges (Payne et al., 1985). (Payne, et al., 1985)
- Plant Foods
- leaves
- wood, bark, or stems
- fruit
Sambars have developed a crepuscular and nocturnal activity pattern in response to hunting pressures from humans (Payne et al., 1985). (Payne, et al., 1985)
- Known Predators
- humans (Homo sapiens)
- tigers (Panthera tigris)
Ecosystem Roles
Sambar may disperse seeds as they forage.
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Humans hunt Rusa unicolor for food and for trade. Sambars are also captured and placed into zoos worldwide. (Payne, et al., 1985)
- Positive Impacts
- food
- body parts are source of valuable material
- ecotourism
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Sambars may damage agricultural crops when they forage near human habitation.
- Negative Impacts
- crop pest
Conservation Status
Although global population data is not known, the population in India exceeds 50,000 and in Australia Sambars number more than 5,000 individuals. (Nowak, 1999)

Other Comments
Several subspecies are recognized, including Rusa unicolor equinus, Rusa unicolor unicolor, Rusa unicolor brookei, and Rusa unicolor dejeani. Sambars were previously considered a member of the genus Cervus, as Cervus unicolor. (Payne, et al., 1985; Tate, 1947)

I am trying to connect to my mailbox on my hosting via imap_open() (php) . But its throwing authentication failed error.
According to my hosting provider they have disabled telnet for security reasons. Could disabling telnet cause php to not be able to make an imap connection ??
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No. These are different protocols. IMAP is working on port 143 and telnet on port 23. Your confusion likely comes from the fact that IMAP is a text based protocol and you can use the telnet client program to control an IMAP session.
If the error messages states that the authentication failed, this is a strong hint that the IMAP server is working and answering your connection attempts but you somehow failed to offer proper credentials.

We can keep going round and round in circles. That is pretty much what it comes down to. Murray, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic have the big fan bases therefore if they are in any sort of trouble in their matches or doing something different tactically, then some thread will be started, when it can be discussed in the general area of the Livescores thread and doesn't need a separate thread.
I don't think it's common sense. I think it's common sense to use the threads that already exist. It's a good compromise, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that it's a better idea. It's better for the moderators, since it's easier to moderate. It's not necessarily better for the posters, who perhaps want to discuss a specific match. But hey, I'm not a moderator around here. I just think this could improve the forum. I think it would be a great thing for GM.
It's commonsense, because there are rules that have to be observed, if clowns want to curse, bitch and jinx players, then do it in the Gamblers Lounge and not on GM, but that will be lost on some people.
Sounds like you want special and specific treatment for some reason. I am sorry 4 matches what for, when there are plenty of others going on at the same time at a Slam, so they should deserve threads as well. They don't deserve special status, it's not that hard to talk about matches in OOP or Livescores thread, once the one you want is over, either watch the next or go do something else.
You want convenience for yourself, but wanting to have a go at the mods at the same time.
On Nadal bumping him on the changeover, Rosol said: "It's ok, he wanted to take my concentration; I knew he would try something".
Wilander on Dimitrov - "He has mind set on imitating Federer and yes it looks good. But he has no idea what to do on the court".

Blake Shelton Tweets Adam Levine's Phone Number
You don't want to get Blake Shelton riled up. After a little too much ribbing from his friend and fellow 'The Voice' coach Adam Levine, Shelton did the unthinkable: he tweeted Levine's phone number.
You don't want to get Blake Shelton riled up. After a little too much ribbing from his friend and fellow 'The Voice' coach Adam Levine, Shelton did the unthinkable: he tweeted Levine's phone number.
Blake Shelton and the other 'Voice' coaches sat down with host Carson Daly and he cleared the air once again about his relationship with Miranda Lambert, which constantly seems to be the center of tabloid headlines.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are happily married, but the tabloids haven't accepted that so the country couple is having fun with the divorce rumors.
In his music video for 'Doin' What She Likes,' Blake Shelton accidentally sets the house on fire. While it's pretty comical, it's actually pretty close to reality.
Blake Shelton's 'Based on a True Story' album is five singles deep, but fans who haven't picked it up yet are just now getting to hear the best track. 'My Eyes' is a sexy love song that heats the sheets to a melting point hotter than his previous two lovers.
Blake Shelton took the stage again, this time pumping things up a bit, when he was joined with fellow 'The Voice' judge Shakira for their duet of 'Medicine.'
Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton kicked off the 2014 ACM Awards with a whole lot of humor...not to mention a few remarks to make you blush!
Things calmed down a little bit when Blake Shelton had Gwen Sebastian from 'The Voice' join him for his sweet new single, 'My Eyes,' at the 2014 ACM Awards.
Most ACM Awards hosts would probably hope for good reviews on the Monday morning following the show, but not Blake Shelton. Shelton hopes he and co-host Luke Bryan get nothing but bad reviews following their return to the MGM Grand's Garden Arena stage.
Blake Shelton and Shakira will be performing together at the 2014 ACM Awards in Las Vegas this weekend.
It's hard to call Blake Shelton the clear-cut favorite for the 2014 ACM Entertainer of the Year award, which shows just how competitive the category is this year. In any other year, an artist with a top tour, nominated album and high-profile television role would be a sure thing. This year, a man with a similar resume wasn't even nominated.
Although Blake Shelton and Shakira collaborated on a country-pop song for the Colombian's newest record, they still remain enemies on 'The Voice.'

Valve motion had limited cutoff. The central piston had a stroke of 28 inches. As with all SP engines, this one was oil-fired. The wheel arrangement was given the name "Southern Pacific" on the Espee, "Overland" on the Union Pacific.
HB Comstock contends that the SP 4-10-2s ran quite well. His assessment may well derive from Alfred W Bruce's encomium found in The Steam Locomotive in America - Its development in the twentieth century (New York: W W Norton, 1952), p 301) . There Bruce contends that "...the use of three cylinders permitted the power to be delivered directly to two driving axles with good balancing conditions in the 63-in driving wheels. The outside piston and main rods were unusually long but produced no ill effects." The inside valve was operated by Gresley conjugated gear, the outside valves by Walschaert radial gear.
The result of this particular union of boiler and running gear: "Combustion conditions were excellent, and the engines performed well at operating speeds of from 30 to 35 miles per hour with the 63-in drivers." Bruce adds, however, "Long continuous operation at higher speeds ...increased the maintenance, as might be expected with the heavy middle-engine moving parts."
Drury (1993) notes that they were too rigid for the curves snaking through the Donner Pass, where they were first tried. After relocation to the Sunset Route east of Los Angeles, the 4-10-2s ran until the mid-1950s. It is there - between Roseville and Summit, Calif on a 2 1/2%, 80-mile grade -- Bruce says, "...the engines were remarkably successful because the operating condtions prevented excessive speeds and the even torque of the three cylinders prevented undue stalling at low speeds."
The original tender behind the 5000 held 12,000 US ga(45,420 litres) of water and 4,000 US gal (15,140 litres) of fuel oil. It weighed 113,000 lb (58,967 kg) empty and 244,900 lb(111,085 kg) loaded. Later FTTs were delivered with tenders that carried 150 more gallons of water and 912 additional gallons of fuel oil. They weighed 264,500 lb (119,975 kg).

ORLANDO, FL - JANUARY 1: Head coach Joe Paterno of the Penn State Nittany Lions leaves the field following the 2010 Capital One Bowl against the LSU Tigers at the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium on January 1, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. Penn State won 19-17. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)
The bronzed statue outside Beaver Stadium is gone. The record of 409 career victories erased by the NCAA. But reminders of late head coach Joe Paterno still surround Penn State football game days around Beaver Stadium, from the ''409'' tailgate banners in the parking lots, to the mementos left at the site where the statue once stood. They're sure to sprout up come Saturday when the Nittany Lions host No. 24 Northwestern for the homecoming weekend game. ''I don't think it's fair to pretend Joe Paterno never existed,'' Chris Bartnik, 43, said before a game last month. Bartnik, a Penn State graduate from Chantilly, Va., placed a life-sized cardboard cutout of Paterno at the old statue location. The embattled Board of Trustees; Paterno's successor, coach Bill O'Brien; and most rank-and-file fans share at least one prevailing sentiment: an eagerness to move on from the scandal that blemished the university's reputation and led to the landmark sanctions from the NCAA. Sandusky is sch...

Columbus scored with Saad, while Buffalo got a crucial piece in O'Reilly. But the Sabres doled out a pretty penny for their new center – was it too much for a player that has never scored 30 goals? More
Coupled with the Paul Martin signing, the Joel Ward acquisition leaves no doubt the Sharks intend to push for the playoffs in 2015-16.
In the salary cap era, most quality signings are as much about talent as they are about value. With the frenzy of July 1 over and the depth signings in full swing, here are five players who could make a difference in 2015-16 who are still looking for a contract and won't break the bank.
The St. Louis Blues announced Friday the re-signing of goaltender Jake Allen to a two-year, $4.7 million deal. Allen took the starting reins in the post-season from Brian Elliott and if the Blues use a 1A-1B goaltending tandem, Allen could again challenge for the spot as 1A.
The young emperor has officially put pen to contract in Edmonton, but how will the Oilers look in 2015-16 based on the early moves made by new GM Peter Chiarelli?
The minor signings continue to trickle in as the St. Louis Blues have inked Kyle Brodziak to a one-year, $900,000 deal. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Flyers have picked up goaltender Jason LaBarbera as insurance in goal on a one-year contract.
According to a report out of Finland, Toronto Maple Leafs left winger Leo Komarov has been charged with dangerous driving and could be sentenced to jail time. Komarov, 28, signed a four-year, $11.8 million deal with the Maple Leafs in July 2014.
According to a report, the Buffalo Sabres and Ryan O'Reilly have come to terms on a long-term deal. O'Reilly, 24, is considered one of the best two-way forwards in the game today and signing him long-term could mean the Sabres rebuild is well on its way to making the club a legitimate playoff contender.

Cal Poly Pomona is authorized by the Department of State to invite research scholars and professors for collaborate research. The International Center partners with CPP faculty in the invitation process to ensure our campus compliance with regulations governing the J1 Exchange Visitor program.
Under Federal regulations, colleges and university departments may invite visiting research scholars and visiting professors to the campus to collaborate on research projects, give lectures or seminars, or even teach a class for a quarter. A visiting foreign scholar or professor must have a specific objective stated on his or her immigration document called a Certificate of Eligibility or DS2019, and that objective may not change, even if he or she changes from one institution to another. International visitors may be invited to come in one of the following categories:
Short-term Scholars may lecture, observe, consult, and participate in seminars, workshops, conferences, study tours, professional meetings, or similar types of educational and professional activities. Short-term scholars may not extend their stay in the US.
Those in the Research Scholar and Professor categories may participate in all of the above type of activities and may stay in the U.S up to a total of 5 years. They may not change their objective in the U.S. Exchange Visitors in the Professor category may only be in a visiting faculty position – they may not be a candidate for tenure. The visitor may take the place temporarily of someone who is a candidate for tenure, such as someone who may be on sabbatical, but the J-1 may not be in a tenure-track faculty position.
Taking academic classes may not be the main objective or the main activity of the international exchange visitor. Regulations do not prohibit visiting scholars and professors from auditing or enrolling in academic courses through the Open University as long as this is incidental to their stated objective.
Colleges and departments should consult with the Coordinator, International Student & Scholar Services in the International Center regarding the process of inviting a scholar to campus.
Under Department of State regulations, the University is responsible to verify that the international visitor will have adequate financial resources for travel, living and miscellaneous expenses. A minimum of $1200 per month for non-academic expenses (housing, transportation, insurance, etc.) is recommended. Additionally, $500 for spouse and $250 for each dependent should be allowed per month. The college or department must provide documentation regarding any amount of financial support the scholar will receive from the campus or from another source.
Exchange visitors (and their dependents) are required by the Department of State to purchase health insurance that meets the minimum requirement.
In an effort to ensure all Exchange Visitors meet the State Department requirements, health insurance must be purchased through Wells Fargo Student Insurance, a company Cal Poly Pomona contracts with to provide health insurance coverage.
The International Center is a partner with faculty to invite international scholars to Cal Poly Pomona. If you need any additional information please contact Kelly McCullen, Coordinator for International Student & Scholar Services at (909) 869-2036 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please note that in recent years, housing and transportation have become increasingly difficult to provide for individuals who do not choose or cannot afford to stay at Kellogg West. While the International Center can advise you on options, you should be prepared to think creatively about how assisting the exchange visitor.

The classic novel The Ecstasy of Owen Muir is the story of what happens in 1940s America when an idealistically, fiercely honest young man, with no strong religious affiliation, marries a Roman Catholic woman. In this brilliantly comic and pungent tale, Lardner dissects the thought control of the McCarthy era, business ethics, racial intolerance, attitudes toward sex, the Manhattan nightclub set, judicial procedures, and other social phenomenon. The author is a former Hollywood screenwriter who won Academy Awards for Woman of the Year in 1942 and MASH in 1970.

When using the python struct module on can specify a format string that declares how binary data should be interpreted:

"Many aspects of the design ... turned out to be impractical both from a production standpoint and a commercial standpoint, and thus the design was subsequently altered by Chief Engraver of the Mint, Charles Barber, first to the Rolled Edge variety and subsequently to what is now known as the No Periods variety or regular issue. The Wire Edge, although best characterized as being a pattern (and so listed in the Judd pattern reference as J-1774), has always been collected as part of the regular series. The exact mintage of this variety is not known for certain, although it is generally accepted that the figure is 500 pieces. This number comes from a 1908 letter from dealer Henry Chapman to John Work Garrett, and since Henry Chapman had very close connections at the Mint, it is quite probable that this number is correct. Despite this ultra-low mintage, by far the lowest mintage of the series, the 1907 Wire Edge is not in the upper echelon of Indian Head Eagles in terms of rarity, particularly condition rarity. Because of their novelty and status as the first version of a new and artistically beautiful design, many were obviously saved and perhaps as many as two-thirds to three-fourths of the original mintage still can be accounted for today. Wire Edge Eagles were in great demand by numismatists almost immediately after they were struck. In Mehl's 1921 G.F.E. Wilharm sale, he noted, 'When first issued, this variety sold up to $75.00,' an extraordinary premium for the period."
Only recently, through the efforts of Roger Burdette, has the exact mintage of the 1907 Wire Rim been determined. 500 pieces were struck in August and September of 1907, and another 42 between October and December. Then the 70 pieces that remained unsold in 1915 were melted, giving a net of 472 Wire rim tens released.
Vivid orange-gold color bathes the highly lustrous surfaces of this gorgeous Premium Gem. The design elements exhibit relatively sharp definition for the issue, that usually exhibits soft and mushy motifs. This results from Charles Barber's lack of skill with the new Janvier Reduction Lathe (The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, 2006). The wire rim is evident on portions of both sides. Frosty surfaces are devoid of mentionable marks, and numerous die polish lines occupy the reverse fields. Outstanding overall eye appeal. Population: 15 in 66, 3 finer (6/07).(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 268B, PCGS# 8850)

Product Information
Show off how you feel about your dog with this long sleeve fitted bling shirt with blinged DIG Bolo logo.
Why We Love It:
Show some sparkle with the Dog is Good Bolo Bling Human Long Sleeve Shirt. This is our original "fitted" tee. Featuring a longer length and typically made from lightweight, stretchy, premium Pima cotton, these "Fasion-Fit" silohuettes are stylish and durable. Because we offer these styles in sizes up to XXL, if you prefer the fitted look, but desire a looser fit, we recommend you simply purchase one or two sizes larger than you typically would.
Sizing Information:
Small: Chest 14-15.5" Body Length 25 3/8" Women's Size (0-2)
Medium: Chest 15-16.5" Body Length 26" Women's Size (4-6)
Large: Chest 16-17.5" Body Length 26 5/8" Women's Size (8-10)
X-Large: Chest 17.5-19" Body Length 27 1/4" Women's Size (12-14)
XX-Large: Chest 19-20.5" Body Length 27 7/8" Women's Size (16-18)
I was anxious to purchase this as well as the matching dog shirt so that my Yorkie mix and I could wear it to dog "events" in my city. In most Misses clothing, I am a size 12-14 petite (which is normally a Large Misses.) Sadly, this shirt was far too small, so it had to go back! It was pretty, so I was disappointed. I would suggest measuring carefully and perhaps calling Baxter Boo for advice on sizing before you order. Good luck!

However, given the difficulty of finding a representative survey group from which to sample and the low survey response rate, these ambitious goals could not be fully achieved. Only 16 percent of scientists completed the survey and another 4 percent responded in part. Nevertheless, the committee believes that the survey responses (including respondents' comments) do provide interesting indications of attitudes and evidence of actions that merit further investigation. Moreover, the committee feels that the methodological difficulties encountered in this project serve as valuable lessons for future surveys on this as well as other topics of interest with the scientific community.

This butterfly dome harks back to the Victorian era, when the intricacies of the natural world inspired curiosity and fancy. Artist Lisa Black constructs each piece from real butterfly specimens, spread by hand and placed on carefully selected willow branches. Inspired by an antique dome discovered at a Paris flea market, Black recaptures an age-old sense of awe in her colorful, naturally collectible works of art.
Height: 10". Diameter: 8". Weighs approximately 4.5lbs. Includes assorted genuine butterfly specimens. Wood base. Because of the nature of glass, small bubbles or dimples may cause the dome to vary slightly from picture. Each dome is custom made to order.

moreSerial killers like Seattle's Ted Bundy, Maryland's Beltway Sniper, Atlanta's Wayne Williams, or England's Peter Sutcliffe usually outsmart the task forces on their trail for long periods of time. Keppel and Birnes take readers inside the operations of serial killer task forces to learn why. What is the underlying psychology of a serial killer and why this defeats task force investigations?
This is the first book of its kind that combines state-of-the-art psychological assessment experience with the expertise of a homicide investigator who has tracked some of this country's most notorious serial killers. The author also brings to the book hands-on best practices gleaned from the experience of other task forces.
Readers, both professionals and students, will benefit from the comprehensive and critical case reviews, the analysis of what went wrong, what went right, and the after-action recommendations of evaluators in the US, UK, and Canada.
The book covers:
* The nature of the psychology of a serial killer
* How crime assessment profiling reveals that psychology
* Why psychological profiles fail
* How serial killer task forces defeat themselves
* How the media can, and usually does, undermine the task force operation
* The big secret of all serial killer investigations: police already have the killer's name
* The best practices for catching a serial killer
* Comprehensive case reviews of some of the US's and UK's most baffling serial killer cases
* A list of best practices for serial killer task force investigators
* Recommendations for how to manage comprehensive files and computer records
* Practical advice on how to manage the media: what to say and not to say
* Insight into what a serial killer might be thinking and doing to stay away from police
* Recommendations for setting up and administering long-term investigations
* Practical tips on how to maintain a task force's psychological edge and avoid defeatism less

Notebook - 'Miss R. Fisher Pattern Book', for Knitting Machine, Flat-bed, 'Preciosa', Wertheim, 1910 Reg. No: HT 32914
- Summary:
- Notebook of patterns for use with the hand-powered flat-bed 'Preciosa' knitting machine manufactured by Wertheim (Germany) and retailed in Melbourne by Hugo Wertheim.
- Description:
- 48-page notebook (counting both sides) with stiff maroon covers, staple bound, inscribed inside 'Miss R. Fisher / Pattern Book'. Patterns are hand-written and include 'Child's Petticoat', 'Child's Singlet', 'Scarfe', 'Bonnet', Lady's Stocking', Boys Sock' and Teddie Bear Suit'. Includes a list of prices and client names, crossed out as the work was completed and paid for. Clients include a Miss M. Payne of 19 Richmond Terrace, Richmond. In a few places purple stamps 'R. FISHER / KNITTER' and 'ALISDALE / YARRAGON' have been stamped or partly stamped. Fair condition, with yellowing of pages, staining and rusting of staples.
- Statement Of Significance:
- The knitting machine provides a relatively rare record of a woman's cottage industry in rural Victoria in the early 20th century, as well as being a significant item of material culture relating to work for the war effort on the home front during World Wars I and II. The machine collection includes a range of parts, manuals, users' notes, two garments and a (digital copy of a) photograph of a garment being worn, providing a comprehensive record of how the machine was used and for what purposes, and how this changed over time as a second user worked the machine.
Knitting machines were enthusiastically advertised in the media in the early 20th century when this model was purchased, both for making family clothing and as a means of earning money. Hugo Wertheim advertised knitting machines as 'One of the most profitable means by which to earn a livelihood or supplement an income IN YOUR OWN HOME' (The Age, 4/2/1911, page 2).
The first hand-powered flat-bed knitting machine was invented by the American William Isaac Lamb in 1863. The machine enabled rapid production of tube and rib-knitted fabric. It knitted in alternating plain and pearl stitches, providing a ribbed effect with high elasticity that looked the same on both sides. The year after its invention, Lamb's flat-bed knitting machine was improved by another American, Henry J. Griswold. Sold under the names ?Climax?, ?Crane? and ?Little Rapid?, the machines were used in the cottage industry to make men's socks and children's stockings. With further improvements in the machine?s design, circular-knit stockings could also be made.
In Europe, manufacturer Henri Eduard Dubied saw the flat-bed machine displayed at the World Expo in Paris in 1867. He bought the patent and began to make the machines, which he called the ?Trikoteuse Omnibus?, in his own Swiss factory. By the end of the decade French and German manufacturers, including Laue und Timaeus (later Irmscher & Co., Dresden) were also making flat-bed machines. In 1888 the invention of the tubular cam by G. F. Grosser in Markersdorf allowed heels to also be knitted by the flat-bed machines. Later developments facilitated the production of patterned goods and the use of an electric motor.
The Lamb Corporation remains in business to this day.

Need info on the latest interest rates or news about the reserve bank decisions? At Mozo, we track hundreds of Australian financial institutions - from the big 4 banks to the smallest of online lenders and credit unions. We also keep a very keen eye on the reserve bank cash rate and how the banks, credit unions and building societies react to rate changes. If you need to find the best interest rates in Australia for home loans, term deposits or savings accounts, Mozo has got you covered.
When you are researching your home loan or personal loan make sure you are comparing apples with apples. Look for the comparison rate information as this takes into the interest rate, account fees and charges into single rate to show you the true cost of a loan and help you pick the best one. Remember the lowest rate is not always the best interest rate - also important to think about features such as repayment options and any ongoing fee that will impact how much interest you pay.
After slashing the official cash rate to a record low 2% last month, the Reserve Bank of Australia left the cash rate on hold at today's board meeting.Read more...
It's good news for homeowners this May with the Reserve Bank of Australia cutting the official cash rate from 2.25% to a record low 2% at today's board meeting.Read more...
The Reserve Bank of Australia Board has met for its post Easter meeting and has left the official cash rate at 2.25%.Read more...
Interest rates impact on every aspect of your finances, from your home loan through to any term deposits you may have. Whether you're looking to get a loan or create a new savings account, you need to know the current interest rate and compare what the various bank and credit unions are providing.
Luckily at Mozo we know all about such things as Australian interest rates and how to make an interest rates comparison and are more than happy to share this know with you.
If you're looking to get a house loan or borrow a large sum to set up your business, the current interest rate will affect how much money you'll need to repay. It's important to put some time into your research to see which bank or credit union can offer you the best interest rate for your needs. Mozo deals a range of advice and information on all types of loans. For each of these loan types, you can enter what you need from a loan and Mozo will present you what each bank can provide you, in an easy-to-understand chart. When you compare bank interest rates, you also need to consider the fees and restrictions of each loan, so these details are also in our informative charts to give you the big picture to securing the best interest rate for your loan.
You also can look at variable and fixed term rates that the various credit providers are offering and decide which one is best for your needs.
Whether you're saving for a particular purchase or just putting away money for a rainy day, you'll need to research the best bank interest rates for your savings account or term deposit. You can compare bank interest rates right here on the Mozo site for saving accounts and term deposits. When you're committing to a long term savings plan, you want to know you'll get the highest rate of return.
Whether you're saving or borrowing, you want to be as up-to-date as possible. Mozo keeps a close eye on the Australian banks' interest rates and how they react to information from the RBA. We always provide up-to-date information so you can make decissions in today's market, not yesterday's.

I am super excited. I will be coming to Anaheim twice this year. Once for the Anniversary, and again in October. The October trip will be a short one. A Monday to a Friday, but I will get to see Disneyland at Halloweentime. My husband says use the timeshare points, so I am obeying his orders.
Its 2013 now...I can use my Universal AP! Now I have decisions on two places to go when I feel like driving and walking around alot.
Good Morning! And it's back to work for me! Oh well...
I'm going for a mini-trip this Sunday-Tuesday...super stoked!
Mini trips are the best! I try and do one every year, after I get my tax refund. Last year I stayed at the Disneyland hotel. I'm shooting for Grand Californian this year. We'll see how much less my tax refund is...it gets less and less each year.
Clara - I thought your signature said Sara for a second. It kinda looks like it!
Love me some glittering villains
I haven't stayed at the DLH since I was a little girl...but I've stayed at the GCH many times...I think its worth it - they aren't infallible, but they know how to make up for their mistakes with poise. If I had that kind of money all the time I wouldn't stay anywhere else. My tax return this year is going to Mom's 50th birthday...I can't really afford it, but I HAVE to do something special for her.
My tax refund shrinks every year. I have a folder of all my past refunds so I've seen the shrinkage. I believe when I first had my son back in 2004, my refund was fantastic becuase I had the child credit. Close to $7000 combined...last year I was a little over $4000...still get child credit and also get day care credit....and I keep having to claim more just to get a decent paycheck AND I got a significant raise recently...so I don't know.
Welcome to California..... :mad:
And good luck on your tax returns! I don't make much money, but I don't have anyone but me to support. Fortunately the school bills me for my classes, so I get all my taxes back...course that's only about 2 grand usually, but I'm not complaining!
Anyway, congrats on the raise though!! I need one of those...
can't make it thicker tho, otherwise your pretty photo will get covered. i can do just plain font like Kelila's that will be nice big and thick lettering.. but it will cover the kid..i can do a name fill but then again same thing, the kid won't show because your incorporating the photo there is only soo much i can do. and the font i picked it's new!!!!!!! i♥shopping for fonts!! i love fonts!! omg!!
and really i don't know if u seen, but some people's signatures on this board are WAY big and kinda annoying and in ur face like " here is my signature and this is my screen name so eat it!", so i try not to make the signatures toooo big..

You seem to wink at this on the premise that "everyone's doing it and has been doing it." I still got a spanking from my mommy when I used this logic to explain away what I had done wrong.Originally Posted by Cyclone792
And VP did not say his "concern is for watching honest players," but desired an honest contest, which generally speaking baseball is. A player can have horrible personal character and lie 400 times a day and not have that affect the outcome of a baseball game. A guy bragging about throwing a spitter or a hitter divulging he used cork during a season doesn't change those as being the exception rather than the rule. Nor do they excuse the current brand of cheating and allow us to tell people to sit down and shut up because they still love the game despite occasional episodes attacking the game's integrity.

Paul Crute's Pit Talk: Roynon sacking shows GB riders need a chance
Posted: May 10, 2014|
Paul Crute looks at Adam Roynon being released from Sheffield....
ADAM Roynon must be one of the unluckiest riders in British Speedway.
Over the years he has had a catalogue of injuries that is impressive even for a speedway rider which has included broken arms, legs, back, a neck which saw him on a life support machine and last year he had his head run over.

But every time Roynon has not let this affect him at all and has recovered and come back time and again from these injuries which shows his dedication to the sport.
Had Roynon avoided those injuries he could have been - and might still be - one of Britain's best young riders.
When he broke his neck in 2009 he was in fact practicing with the Team GB squad. We must remember he is still only 25.
Signed by Sheffield during the winter he has now been ditched by them just a month into the season in favour of Australian Ty Proctor.
Roynon has every right to feel aggrieved to be dropped by Sheffield after such a short space of time especially as he had been putting a lot of work into this season.
As he said on Facebook: "Disappointed, disgraced and shocked at being dropped by @TigersSpeedway."
And what does it say about British Speedway when one of the country's most promising riders is dropped in favour of an Australian who has, to be fair, not set the world alight over the past few seasons?
If Proctor turns out to be a success story it could prove to be a masterstroke by the new promotion but if it fails questions will surely be asked.
Only time will tell whether they have made the right decision.
For Roynon surely his undoubted talent will not go unnoticed and he will be snapped up by another team after not too long.
PROMOTER Mick Horton is one of the busiest men in speedway ... not in charge of one club but three.
Horton heads up both Coventry teams in the Elite and National League as well as Premier League Peterborough.
He is hoping to create a little bit of speedway history this year by helping guide all three to the end of season play-offs.
Many may see that as a tall order, although early season form may suggest that he could pull it off, but Horton will have clocked up many thousands of miles on his car by the time September comes round.
Coventry have been in the doldrums since winning the Elite League title in such dramatic style in 2010 and a club of their stature should be challenging for the title.
It will be interesting to see how Peterborough's season pans out as dropping down from the Elite league does not guarantee instant success - as Ipswich have found out.
Coventry in the National League have a very strong looking team and could consolidate their position already at the top of the division.
Contrary to what was written earlier in this article he is giving young Brits a chance - with half of Peterborough and Coventry's team hailing from the UK and all of the Storm lads also coming from Britain.
