I don't think Dima's pop music would be a good idea, but did you know he is also a trained opera singer? That could be interesting...
I know, I was just giving a silly reply to a silly answer.
Woah, I had no idea Dima could sing opera! My respect for him just rose a lot. Though... I gotta admit... really threw me off when he started that countertenor part. A man singing that won't go over well with the (conservative) judges.
A bit more seriously: I really liked the Tosca that Plush skated to at Opera on Ice--better, performance-wise, than the Olympics SP that held the world record for a quad (until he broke it himself!), imo. I'm not sure if "vocal version of old program" will go over well with the judges, but an opera song in that vein could work. I also wouldn't mind seeing him skate to "fun" programs like the old (2002 and earlier) days. He likes Russian folk songs, right?
I read the program with him and that little cute Japanese girl will be aired this weekend. I hope someone will upload on youtube and we will see him on the ice.
It'll be aired this weekend? I'm really looking forward to it! (Assuming it finds its way online).
I hope he doesn't try anything rash on the ice. It's too soon. He should take the time to just skate, feel the ice, relax...
Seems like he is on vacation in the Maldives now (Yana posted photos on Instagram)...at least we know he won't be on ice for a little while
theater: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9gyjnsLeIw Hava Nagila
drama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORUPuKhjTp8 drama because this is Carmen and fun because he is incredible original and surprising (SLC gala)
firework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prB1kNhnGPI Hava Nagila SP in 1999.
The Carmen costume is sooooooo hooooooot!
That costume plus the hair pushed back made him look three times hotter than normal. (but can't dislike he mullet. That is when he started winning. Getting rid of it was probably bad luck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0BtVPavDR0 he is hot and cute..
I'll probably get assassinated by the fashion police for saying this, but maybe he should bring the mullet back. I'd rather he skates well with a mullet than struggles without one. And I kinda have a thing for guys with long hair.
If he doesn't compete he has long hair some photos in last years
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater what a presence on ice!!!!!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater OMG!!!
Plushy in Pinzolo 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amp6kEUGxV4 skateboard 1 he is incredible blond..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfKB...aGX-AU0nRe1en1 skateboard 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeY7...aGX-AU0nRe1en1 Vakhtang Murvanidze is better
He is in Maldive Island. When he will arrive he will be tanned and his hair will be long and brightly blonde..
That's a lot of hair! And a lot of beard, which I hope he doesn't bring back. He probably thought it was a bit silly to be sporting a bright blond mullet for the Olympics at 31, but it's his trademark! (In my weirdo vision.) I wonder how he can skate with the hair flying everywhere. It just seems to settle back into place--wish my hair did that, lol.
Plushy tweeted today that the 3-hour(!!!) film about him will air on Japanese tv on May 3 (19:30 on channel TBS, just in case we have any Japanese fans here). Wonder how long we will have to wait to get it online (hopefully w/subtitles). I think it's pretty fantastic that even in a country with as many brilliant skaters as Japan, they still respect and admire Plushy. I know where Yuzuru will be on May 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_M569vny-M I find him incredible beautiful with flying extra long hair in this video..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy7bcn-gAl0 and these are a little bit surreal..

Literally Live Pictures
We have always seen acrylic paint on canvas, but now we have the work of artist Alexa Meade, who has creatively used the human body as her canvas. The results are really impressive.
These pictures of people are covered with acrylic paint. Artists did very good job, so people look like they are part of the painting.
Acrylic painting is one of the newest painting mediums, if you've ever painted the walls of your home with latex or emulsion paint, you'll have used a very close cousin of the these paints. In fact I use white matt emulsion, tinted with yellow or brown, to put a base coat on the canvasses I prepare for some of my acrylic painting work.
The acrylic painting technique offers both the new and experienced artist a very versatile method of painting.

Things I liked:Wow this gun in .25 is a boss I mean it hits the target with a loud thud every time!I sight it in at 55yr and boy it's nearly pellet on pellet every time
Things I would have changed:If you find one let me know!
What others should know:Like before wow factor every time I pick it up! I went with the .25 I have yet had to go over half power just for the simple fact this gun is so pin point accurate head shots are are beyond easy. I almost didn't buy this gun because the gloss seemed to bright but The gun when opened is not that shiny as website showed which was great. I would recommend this gun to anyone!The air arms s510 holds well shoots excellent and just plain out a set gun!
Things I liked:Quality, finishing, smoothness, accuracy.
Things I would have changed:Price... Well, it's expensive, but worth it every penny... The magazine could be at the right side, I had to cut my parallax wheel in order to make possible to load. Doesn't look great, but it's not to bad, and works perfectly.
What others should know:After unboxing, it looked is great. When I grabbed it, it felt a little to light ( maybe 'cause I'm used to a NP XL) but after rigged with the scope, felt perfect. Everything I read about, as far as quality, finishing, smoothness, accuracy... 100% true. I'm a new shooter, but putting pellets through the same hole at 25 yards, it's a simple task. My first kill, Sparling, 120yards, 25% incline, 5 m/h wind, from inside my truck. I aimed at center mass, the pellet hit its head, split in half. The poor thing never knew what hit him.
Things I liked:This is a great rifle. It has a beautiful finish. It's very very accurate and fun to shoot.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:If I could have only one airgun this would be it. It's almost to good looking to handle.

I have a medium/ olive skintone with yellow undertones.
Although the colour of this blusher is fairly light, it does give a radiant peachy glow. I've been very impressed with all three blushers. This one in particular is subtle enough to wear every day with a brighter lipstick like Tangerine Dream.
MAC Immortal Flower Blush ($20.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described as a "bright peach." This is an interesting color, because it looks like a soft peach in the pan, but it's much more coral when swatched and applied to cheeks. It was a bit puzzling, in all honesty! The hue reminded me of Tarina Tarantino Feather, which is a little less pink and has a heavier shimmer. theBalm Frat Boy is more intense, but the color, when used lightly, is very comparable.

Event teaches life(like) lessons
Patient simulators part of this year's attractions
A small group of Martin Middle School students witnessed the miracle of life Thursday, oohing and aahing both in amazement and disgust.
Though it was only a mannequin giving birth to a mannequin baby, it was still cool, students said.
The students were part of the fifth annual Future Health Care Professionals Conference, hosted by the Texas A&M Health Science Center Coastal Bend Health Education Center in Corpus Christi. The event attracted about 400 middle and high school students who are interested in the medical profession, said Alicia Dorsey, Office of Communication and Program Development vice president.
"This gives them a chance to find out what it means to be in health care," she said. "The conference brings all the students together and they get to hear from real professionals."
The convention featured vendors such as Driscoll Children's Hospital, Christus Spohn Health System and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as members of Emergency Medical Services, who provided attendees with information about required education and expected salary, Dorsey said.
Events like this are important especially when there are field shortages in the pharmacy and nursing professions, said Dale Berry, health center spokesman.
Students also were able to tour the campus' Nursing Lab, home to the patient simulators. The eight life-sized mannequins perform different functions such as cardiac arrest, childbirth or heart and lung activity, said Sandy Stokes, registered nurse and lab assistant.
Maritza Lamus, eighth-grader at Martin Middle School, watched as Stokes held up a plastic placenta. The 13-year-old was not fazed.
"I've been interested in being a pediatrician ever since I was 8 years old," she said. "Every time I went to my pediatrician I would see the babies and thought, 'That's cute.' I knew that's what I wanted to be."
Stokes said the demonstrations are important because it encourages the children.
"They're already in the health clubs but this gives them a taste of what to expect," she said. "It exposes them to something they normally wouldn't see at this age, and that's inspiring."

How to make carrot oatmeal muffins
Hi there, just thought I'd take a minute to introduce myself, I'm Jane from Jane's Adventures In Dinner.
I'm a mom, wife, teacher and former chef.
I had a much wanted and very much a surprise baby just shy of my 40th birthday and soon afterward became a mulch-generational household when my 90 year old father-in-law moved in. It's been quite a ride.
I started my blog as a way to have a record of my mat leave and the treats that we had while I was on it. I haven't been great about 'keeping' photos etc in the past and I wanted my daughter to have a record of that very special time.
And then I caught the blogging bug, met the greatest people around and my baby blog grew as my baby did. My focus is still food but I also have branched out to; fashion (totally love), decorating (we undertook a massive remodel last year), giveaways from my favourite Etsy folks and a bit of creative writing on the side.
That's enough talk, how about something to brighten your morning?
Carrot Oatmeal Muffins should do the trick.
We're always on the run weekday mornings so I make a couple of batches of muffins a week to grab and go with. These are one of our new favourites.
In my shiny bowl I've got; 1 1/2 cup shredded carrot, 3/4 of oatmeal (large flake), 1/2 cup coconut, 3/4 cup plain yogurt, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 cup crushed pineapple and a dash of cinnamon.
Mix well and add 2 cups flour with 2 tsp. baking powder. JUST fold this in to avoid tough muffins.
Spoon into 12 muffins cups (I'm in love with my little square ones right now) and make for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees or until a knife comes out cleanly.
Happy Morning. You can easily store these in a domed cake plate
Hope to see you in my neck-of-the-woods really soon.

"It is great for us — an auctioneer will never complain to having more people around. We did this before last year, so we must have done something right because they asked to come back."
The Antiques Road Trip travels the UK, pitting experts against each other. Each is given a budget to buy items that they believe will fetch a profit at auction. Some of this week's items included silver toast racks, teardrop chemist glass bottles and butt markers for pigeon and grouse shooting.

Report: Many Al Qaida agents are U.S. Christian converts to Islam
Special to WorldTribune.com
Compiled by Miles Yu, Geostrategy-Direct.com
WASHINGTON — Al Qaida has targeted Christians for recruitment in operations against the United States, according to a new report.
The Henry Jackson Society found that Al Qaida was wooing American Christians interested in Islam as potential recruits for operational and sleeper cells.
In a 720-page report, the society said nearly a quarter of all identified Al Qaida operatives in the United States were Christians who had converted to Islam.
"Maybe this is just one expression in a post-industrial society of how young people deal with alienation," former CIA director Michael Hayden, co-author of the report, said.

The state of New York will never reduce personal and other taxes with income from casinos. We see what happened with the lottery and school taxes. All that lottery money and the schools still can't make ends meet. The people ought to wake up and realize that any of these "deals" given to the lottery, casinos, churches, etc are only good for the upper mucky-mucks and their family and friends that run them.
It seems to me there are people posting on here that are under 30 years of age that think some of us "old gezzers" shouldn't have a good time. Just remember, every band or group that's out there now would be nothing without the ones that came before them. A very, simple fact!
Make people post their real names, then open up the comment page on the Saundra Smokes piece and see how many speak their minds. I'm sure this will never happen.
It's funny how some places can get a liquor license that have spoken opposition, while others that operated on a temporary from a previous license (with no problems or opposition to their receiving one) has the temporary pulled for no reason and no answer as to when it might be granted.
travelkey, I don't think the government has restricted who can ride motorcycles yet. They have made guidelines like ( being old enough to have a license, having insurance, having your bike pass inspection, wearing a helmut ) just those stupid, pesky little details to, uh, maybe protect yourself and others. With all the SUV's out there ( many with blind spots ), the teenagers, AND ADULTS, that use their phone and text while driving, I don't see how anyone would want to "feel free" and ride one. I am VERY careful and have waited until a motorcycle has passed by when I'm stopped at an intersection. The speed of an approching bike is still to hard for me to correctly estimate, and I've been driving for over 40 years. I have also found them in my blind spot when checking for the second time. They can accelerate VERY QUICKLY.
If it had been "Joe The Plumbler's" house, would he have gotten the same sentence?
$112 million is like being a major league baseball player for 6 or 7 years.
They are both getting what they deserve....................EACH OTHER!!
It seems like NO ONE proof reads anymore. The dumming of AMERCIA!
I applaud the business for spending the $ on a good camera.
Listen to tina122580, she hit the nail on the head! The last "no" vote only made MAGA pay it's workers $7/hr more for the last 2 or so years. It had NOTHING to do with when they were going to close the plant. They are right on schedule with when they are going to close. That's an extra $14,000 a year or so they have been getting paid that they would not have gotten had they swallowed MAGNA's B.S. and taken another cut to "save" the plant. The workers there are not as "dumb", "stupid", "ignorant", "lazy", or any other name the idiots on this blog call them.
Then how come at $20 per hour, MAGNA can't compete and has to close up here when the southern non-union plants make the same or more? Let me clue you in............THEY WANTED TO CLOSE THIS PLANT NO MATTER WHAT!
UPNYTH, I am frustrated by the ignorance of some of the posters that have no clue as to what went on there, yet seem to be able to tell the great workers of NPG what they should have done.
Meanwhile, the idiots will keep posting their dribble because logic cannot come from ignorance.
To Syracuse.com, please change your policy and have people sign their real names to keep all the B.S. and unnessary hateful posts from being printed. Then we will see who the idiots are. Just as the idiots won't have the b*lls to post, neither does Syracuse.com have the b*lls to change it's policy.
Inner city address' on these perps. Build WalMarts within the city! Look at the gas $ they could save! Maybe the "burbs" won't become getto as quick.
444-44444444444444444444444444444444444 !
To bad Marble Farms on Grand Ave. isn't open still, they made the best coffee milkshakes hands down!
Yes, I retired with $1 and have been living the good life for the last eight years. And, with careful planning, I still have a good share of that left! Must be alot of people don't know how to live well off of little.
If I won I'd retire a second time, only 540 million times better!

I found that I was forgetting to take my vitamins everyday. After purchasing a 99 cent pill container and putting out my vitamins out for a week at a time it's very easy for me to see if I've taken my vitamins for the day. Best dollar I've ever spent!
I have Sinusitis .The doctor has me taking the Fionase spray once a day,but I kept forgetting ! I noticed I ALWAYS REMEMBERED to give my child HIS DAILY VITAMIN. So,I put my spray right on TOP of the FRIDGE near my child's vitamins {it has a child protective device on it!} and every day I ask my child," Have you had your vitamin today?" and I go get them for HIM and then, I see MY spray bottle and USE IT!
I wanted to do daily pushups to tone my arms but could never remember to do them consistently. I decided to write PUSHUPS all over the outside of my daily vitamin bottle, so now when i take my vitamin I do my pushups - its like a double whammy! 30
I've read that the physical act of smiling actually makes you feel better. And it does (try it now). But when you need a lift the most, it's hard to remember. I now have a smile streak. Tie it to a daily task like taking vitamins. Then smile!41

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---It doesn't get more special than a national championship. For the second time in three years, the Chattanooga Mocs celebrate that accomplishment with one of their own. All-American Chris Robb claimed the Fairstone Scottish Amateur Championship trophy today.
He closed out Graeme Robertson 4&3 at Downfield Golf Club. Robb broke up a close match on the 24th hole. The score was all square when the mighty Moc rattled off three straight birdies for the 3up lead with 10 holes to play.
Robertson was undaunted. A birdie on nine cut Robb's lead to two before the latter bogeyed 10, slicing the margin to one.
Robb got hot again. After winning with a par on 11, he birdied the par three 12th and par five 13th to take a dominating 4up lead with five holes to play. It marked six wins with five birdies in eight holes for Robb. Pars on 15 and 16 ended the 4&3 triumph.
"It hasn't really sunk in yet," Robb said after the ceremony. "It's obviously awesome. It was a long week at Downfield, but to get a national championship under my belt is a huge accomplishment.
"I'm sure it will sink in for me in a day or two…it's really cool to say you're a national champion."
It was a dominating week for the Aberdeenshire native. His closest match win was 3&1 over Jack McDonald in the quarterfinals. He won 4&3 twice, 5&4 three times and 7&5 once. In eight rounds, he played the 17th hole two times and the 18th only once and that was because today's match was 36 holes. He played the last two days with Mocs teammate Liam Johnston on his bag.
"I've had people mention it," he add. "Liam told me he played the 18th in all four of his matches. I went past the 15th just twice I think. There are three par 5's on the back nine, and I took advantage of it.
"It was a bit of a hilly walk to the 15th tee so I tried to avoid that at all costs this week."
It was a see-saw match early. Robertson won the fourth and fifth holes for an early 2up lead only to see it evaporate over the next two holes. Robb squared it with a birdie on six. He birdied 10 and moved to a 2up advantage on his own with a par on 12. His birdie on 13 put the Mocs All-American up three.
Robertson responded with a birdie of his own on 14 and won with a par at 16 to close the margin to a hole. Robb's bogey on the 20th hole levelled the match with 16 holes remaining. It stayed that way until his epic eight-hole run to the title.
It is the third straight win for Robb. After he fantastic finish shooting 64 to earn GCAA/PING All-America honorable mention honors at the NCAA Championships in May, he made it to the round of 16 at the British Amateur before capturing wins at the East of Scotland Championship and Cameron Corbett Vase.
His plan is to go through European Tour Qualifying School this fall. First he heads to St. Andrews for the European Amateur this week with Johnston and Ewan Scott in the field.
"I wish Q-School started today," he said with a smile and a laugh.GoMocs.com is the official website of the Chattanooga Mocs.

BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Red Sox are going back to the World Series for the third time in 10 seasons.
Shane Victorino's seventh-inning grand slam propelled Boston to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night, clinching the AL championship series in six games and setting up a World Series rematch with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Red Sox will host Game 1 on Wednesday night against the team they swept in 2004 to end their 86-year title drought. The Cardinals won the NL pennant on Friday night by eliminating the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games.
With 21-game winner Max Scherzer on the mound, Detroit took a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning and held it until Boston loaded the bases on a double, a walk and an error by shortstop Jose Iglesias. Victorino lofted an 0-2 pitch from Jose Veras over the Green Monster.

Welcome to Big Man U Nerlens! Hoya Paranoia!
Anything outside of the pizza at Avi's is a waste of money but I do like the pizza. Not the best in Syracuse but ok for that part of town.
Just jealous they didn't find the medallion
The first couple lines are pretty key on where to narrow this down to and the "Double" gives me a thought. Good luck all !
Just like video killed the radio star.. email has killed the postal service.
It's Hoya Paranoia !!!! The streak stops Feb. 8. Book it!
eh, not my day either.. hoardes
Before the hoards jump on the editor.. could use another t in "quiting"
Georgetown will officially end the run.
I beg for this to happen so my wife no longer is able to watch the Bachelor
"Relatives" - extended periods of time with one's family may be toxic.
And this is why polls are a joke. I don't see UNC, Duke, Ohio State, etc staying home for nearly 2 months like this team does year after year. If a Dec #1 ranking makes you happy, then enjoy it while it lasts.
My heartattack Hoyas almost choked but thank god that 3 fell. I'm fine with them under the radar alittle longer. If this is the team expected to finish 10th in BE, then this will be 1 crazy BE season!
If the ball boy didn't stay with B. Fine on road trips, then who did he stay with?
I thought it was $44 per $1000 not per 100K
Don't judge until you spend a day in a teacher's shoes. I always thought it was roses too until I see how much work my wife spends daily/nightly preparing for the next day. I'm in the private sector making more and deal with alot less stress and OT work. Plus she spends money out of her own pocket because the schools are broke on things such as paper, pencils,treats, etc. I'd stop jumping down the throats of teachers, spend alittle more time with your kids and think about what a ball player makes in 6 months of work.

The state has given the Lower Colorado River Authority permission to divert nearly as much Colorado River water each year as Lake Buchanan can hold.
The LCRA on Monday announced approval has been granted by the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. LCRA applied for the
permit in 1999, leading to years of studies and negotiations with
environmental groups and water rights owners.
The permit opens the way for the LCRA to build reservoirs in Colorado, Wharton and Matagorda counties.
The LCRA will be allowed to capture up to nearly 854,000 acre-feet of water annually during floods and other high-flow times. The water will be stored in reservoirs off the main channel of the Colorado River in the three counties.

Cancer Control Research5R44CA091630-03
Toborg, Mary A.
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Five hundred thirty-four counties in 18 states are home to 29,497,852 persons and grow tobacco. Data indicate youth in these areas use tobacco earlier and use it more frequently. Tobacco communities have a unique perspective based on the cultural, social, and economic import of tobacco which requires a sensitive approach to adolescent cessation efforts. This project will develop a culturally congruent Resource Kit for Adolescent Tobacco Cessation in Tobacco-Growing Communities. The project will target tobacco-using males and females in high school. Based upon formative research conducted in tobacco-producing communities, Toborg Associates will develop a cessation curriculum, related health education materials, and short videos. In a randomized controlled pre-test/post-test study, Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE) will assess the efficacy of the curriculum and related materials. PIRE will randomize 20 NC schools in large tobacco-growing communities into experimental and control conditions, enrolling an average of 24 tobacco using youth in each school. Toborg Associates will conduct a pre-test prior to the intervention and implement the full curriculum in the experimental schools as well as an intervention that controls for attention and content in the control schools. At the end of the 6-week intervention, PIKE will conduct a post-test of youth in both conditions and biochemically validate self-reports concerning the use and non-use of tobacco. PIRE will conduct a follow-up survey at three months after post-test and again biochemically validate self-reports.

An etalon optical filter is essentially an optical cavity made of two partially transmitting optical surfaces that are approximately parallel to each other. The filter works by a principle of multiple beam interference. Various bounces of light off the optical surfaces add together to give a final transmitted or reflected beam. The net transmission or reflection is a function of wavelength and depends on the material properties used in coatings of the optical surfaces and the separation distance of the two optical surfaces.
If the two surfaces of the etalon have a high reflectance, then the bandpass of the filter will be narrow and referred to as having a high finesse. If the reflectance is low, then the etalon will allow a wider bandpass, or have a low finesse.
Metal coatings have been used in etalons and can be made to provide a fairly uniform response as a function of wavelength. However, a metal coating may not have a high reflectance unless it is very thick. Thick metal coatings also tend to absorb light, leading to a low net transmission.
In other prior devices, a separately generated dielectric coated etalon may be bonded onto a MOEMS (micro optical electrical mechanical system) device so that etch and deposition steps may be done on the MOEMS device separately. This may add steps to the fabrication of the device and result in difficult alignment and bonding of the etalon to separate filters on the original device. Increased cost and reduced yield may result.
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments which may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following description of example embodiments is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
An etalon or Fabry-Perot interferometer device 100 is formed with a pair of two partially transmitting optical surfaces 110, 115 positioned approximately parallel to each other and spaced apart. A high reflectance metal etalon layer or coating 120 is formed proximate each of the optical surfaces. An enhancing stack 135 is coupled to the metal etalon coating on each of the optical surfaces.
In one embodiment, the enhancing stack 135 is formed of silicon nitride and silicon dioxide. The enhancing stack 135 may be formed with a first material that has a relatively high index of refraction and a second material with a relatively low index of refraction, such as indices corresponding to silicon dioxide and silicon nitride respectively.
In one embodiment, the metal etalon coatings comprise aluminum. During manufacture, aluminum oxide may form on the aluminum before further layers, such as enhancing stack 135, are formed.
In one embodiment, a spacing layer 140 is formed between the pair of optical surfaces and coatings. The spacing layer may be silicon dioxide in one embodiment, and defines a distance between the pair of optical surfaces that affects properties of the etalon, such as the free spectral range of the etalon.
The optical surfaces 110, 115 may be formed of silicon dioxide or other material if desired. The optical surfaces are transmissive, allowing light in as represented at arrows 145 and light out as represented by arrows 150 of the device 100. Light entering the device 110 at 145 bounces off the optical surfaces 110, 115 such that light waves add together to give a final transmitted beam 150. In some embodiments, the light may be reflected back out in the same direction as which it entered. An additional reflector may be added on optical surface 110 to provide suitable reflection of the light.
Device 110 may be formed using common deposition and etching steps. Device 110 may also be supported by a substrate. The term supported is used to indicate that one or more layers may be formed on the substrate prior to formation of layers identified as being supported by the substrate. The substrate may be silicon or other material suitable for allowing formation of the layers described herein.
A layer of aluminum 230 is then formed to provide a first reflective layer of the etalon 205. The aluminum layer 230 is approximately 10 nm thick in one embodiment, and a thin layer of aluminum oxide, Al2O3 of approximately 3 nm may form from exposure of the aluminum layer 230 to oxygen. It is represented by the same reference number 230 for simplicity. Aluminum layer 230 provides a high reflectance metal etalon coating.
An enhancing stack 235 is then formed and coupled to the metal etalon coating. In one embodiment enhancing stack 235 is formed of a silicon dioxide layer approximately 93.5 nm thick, and a silicon nitride layer approximately 68 μm thick. The silicon dioxide layer has a relatively low index of refraction, approximately 1.47 in one embodiment, while the silicon nitride layer has a relatively high index of refraction, approximately 2 in one embodiment, compared to the first material.
A wide index of refraction ratio is desired in one embodiment. While silicon nitride, SiN, and silicon dioxide, SiO2 have such a ratio, silicon carbide may also be used. There are many possible combinations for such a high-low stack material. One function of the high-low layers is to obtain a desired phase shift between the layers to work out for peak reflection.
A spacer 240 is then formed of silicon dioxide in one embodiment, and provides a desired spacing between the first aluminum reflective layer 230 and a second aluminum reflective layer 245 that is formed supported by the spacer 240. In one embodiment, the spacer 240 is approximately 150 nm thick, and the second aluminum reflective layer 245 is approximately 10 nm thick. Again, an aluminum oxide layer, also represented at 245 may form on the layer 245 to approximately 3 nm thickness.
A second enhancing stack 250 is then formed supported by the reflective layer 245 in one embodiment. The enhancing stack 250 may be formed with a 60 nm thick layer of silicon dioxide and an approximately 38 nm layer of silicon nitride. Both enhancing stacks 235 and 250 provide a high-low index combination that enhances the light reflecting properties of the respective aluminum reflective layers 230 and 245. The thicknesses described in such layers may be varied significantly in different embodiments to provide desired reflectivities and frequency responses of the etalon 205.
A further silicon oxide layer 255 may be formed over the etalon 205, providing another optical surface. In one embodiment, a dark layer or light blocking layer 260 is formed with an opening over selected portions of the etalon 205 and sensor 215 to selectively allow light to pass through the etalon 205 and be received by the sensor 215. In one embodiment, the light blocking layer 260 is a highly absorbing film stack, and may include one or more metal films and oxides. Tantalum and Aluminum may be included in such films in one embodiment. A final layer of oxide 265 may be formed over the light blocking layer 260. Oxide 265 may have a thickness that is adjustable to provide a general transmission height leveling for etalons, such as for equalizing power for a given light source.
Light blocking trenches 270 and 275 may be formed supported by the substrate 210 and laterally spaced from and on opposite sides of the etalon 205 and sensor 215. It should be noted that the etalon 205 includes a portion that is substantially parallel to the substrate 210. This is the functioning area of the etalon 205. Sides of the etalon 205 appear to move generally away from the substrate outside the functioning area due in one embodiment to process deposition and etching steps for formation of the sensor 215 and/or other features supported by the substrate 210. The light blocking layer 260 generally operates to minimize light outside of the functioning area of etalon 205. In some embodiments, etalon coatings comprise aluminum and aluminum oxide.
In various embodiments, multiple such sensor and etalon combinations may be formed in an array 300 in

As some of you may know, I have been training UFC (lol) for some months and I would really like to test myself in amateur fights in the future, however for that I still need a lot of training and a lot of improvement specially with the kicks and the ground game.
I have 3 questions.
1.- Do you think it would be a good idea to buy a dummy and use it to train some submissions?
Obvioulsy I know that submitting a real person will be 1000000x more difficult than submitting a dummy, but I believe it would not be a bad idea to use it at least to practice over and over again some submission move so when it comes to grappling with a real person I don't have to think stuff like "wait, I should first grab his left arm or right arm? oh fuck...should I turn to my left or to my right?"
2.- Sparring sessions. How to be well prepared for a fight if the sparring sessions are always very light? We use only 30 or 40% of our force, that is good to avoid injuries but I am afraid that I will get very used of taking very light punishment and when someone will land a very strong punch or kick in a real fight I will be mentally broken simply because I was not prepared physically or mentally to take punches.
So what is the solution? Using protection gear but going at 90% of force or what can I do?
In a sparring session your opponent goes at 40% of his force and tries to not hurt you, in a real fight the opponent will try to Knock the fuck out of you with every punch he throws.
3.- My condition is not bad but it can be much better, aside of all the training I have to do to improve it, is there any kind of food that helps you with your stamina?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Mummy Analysis Reveals Drug Use By Sacrificed Inca Children
For the Incas, coca and alcohol served simultaneously as keys to the sacred and tools of coercion and control, National Geographic fascinatingly reports:
The bodies of 13-year-old Llullaillaco Maiden and her younger companions Llullaillaco Boy and Lightning Girl (three Inca mummies found near the lofty summit of Volcán Llullaillaco in Argentina) have revealed that mind-altering substances played a part in their deaths and during the year-long series of ceremonial processes that prepared them for their final hours.
Under biochemical analysis, the Maiden's hair yielded a record of what she ate and drank during the last two years of her life. This evidence seems to support historical accounts of a few selected children taking part in a year of sacred ceremonies—marked in their hair by changes in food, coca, and alcohol consumption—that would ultimately lead to their sacrifice.
Her surging consumption of both coca and alcohol, which were then controlled substances not available for everyday use, show she appears to have been selected for sacrifice a year before her actual death: "We suspect the Maiden was one of the acllas, or chosen women, selected around the time of puberty to live away from her familiar society under the guidance of priestesses."
From Bilderberg to Bohemian Grove – The Elites "Take A Break"
Via orwellwasright:
With the Bilderberg conference this year receiving far more media coverage than ever seen before, it's tempting to believe that, finally, the secretive gatherings of the world's rich and powerful are being exposed. It was certainly a step in the right direction – the more lights shining in the murky shadows of corporate and political subterfuge the better. But another secretive meeting looms on the horizon, one of much older provenance than the Bilderberg group with potentially far more sinister implications.
Recently, a friend of mine brought up the subject of Bohemian Grove. Someone had mentioned it to him in passing and his reaction was par for the course – immediate dismissal that such an event could possibly happen, and that the very thought of it was wild conspiracy talk.

Authorities Hunt For Leader Of Chilean Cult That Burned Baby Alive As "The Antichrist"
Brainwashing by enlightenment drug? Authorities claim that ayahuasca was imbibed as a means of "controlling" the sect's white-collar ranks. Via NBC News:
… Read the rest
Chilean police on Thursday arrested four people accused of burning a baby alive in a ritual because the leader of the sect believed that the end of the world was near and that the child was the Antichrist. The 3-day-old baby was taken to a hill in the town of Colliguay on Nov. 21 and was thrown into a bonfire. The baby's mother had allegedly approved the sacrifice and was among those arrested.
Authorities said the sect was led by Ramon Gustavo Castillo Gaete, 36, who remains at large. Castillo Gaete was last seen traveling to Peru to buy ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic brew plant that he used to control the members of the rite.
"Everyone in this sect was a professional," Miguel Ampuero, of the Police Investigative Units, said.
Virginia Rapper To Be Charged With Attempting To Sacrifice Friend To The Illuminati
Do anything for fame? The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports:
… Read the rest
A Henrico County judge Thursday scheduled a two-day trial in June for an aspiring rap star who, according to a prosecutor, apparently believed that he had to sacrifice his friend to reach stardom.
"You are my sacrifice," El-Amin [was] quoted as saying before he allegedly fired a shot toward his friend's head inside a Henrico home that was to become a music studio. The trial will delve into the hip-hop music culture and the notion that a secret society called the Illuminati has control over the success of some performers.
It was the belief that a sacrifice had to occur in order to join the Illuminati that allegedly incited El-Amin. Investigators recovered more than a pound of marijuana from the Athens Avenue home, according to the search warrant, as well as literature dealing with the Illuminati and its alleged connection to the music industry.
Pile Of Hundreds Of Ancient Sacrificed Skulls Discovered In Mexico
Imagine going swimming in the (now drained) lake, not knowing what lay below. Via Live Science:
Archaeologists have unearthed a trove of skulls in Mexico that may have once belonged to human sacrifice victims. The skulls, which date between A.D. 600 and 850, are "potentially evidence of the largest mass human sacrifice in ancient Meso-America."
[The site is] in a now drained lake called Lake Xaltocan. To date, more than 150 skulls have been discovered there, as well as a shrine with incense burners, water-deity figurines and pottery suggesting a ritual purpose.
The findings shake up existing notions of the culture of the day, because the site is not associated with Teotihuacan or other regional powers. The shrines and the fact that sacrifice victims were mostly male suggest they were carefully chosen, not simply the result of indiscriminate slaughter of a whole village.

Eight people have been arrested in northern Mexico over the killing of two 10-year-old boys and a woman in what appears to be ritual sacrifices. Prosecutors have accused the suspects of belonging to the La Santa Muerte (Holy Death) cult, which has been growing rapidly in the last 20 years, and now has up to two million followers.
The victims' blood has been poured round an altar to the idol, which is portrayed as a skeleton holding a scythe and clothed in flowing robes. 'They sliced open the victims' veins and, while they were still alive, they waited for them to bleed to death and collected the blood in a container,' said Jose Larrinaga, spokesman for Sonora state prosecutors.
Girl 'Sacrificed To Ensure Better Harvest'
The Times of India reports on a horrifying Wicker Man-esque murder in central India:
… Read the rest
Two men have been arrested in for allegedly killing a 7-year-old girl and cutting out her liver in a ritual sacrifice to ensure a better harvest, police said Monday.
Lalita Tati disappeared in October and her dismembered remains were found a week later, Rajendra Narayan Das, a senior police officer, told The Associated Press. Tati was walking home after watching television at a neighbor's house when she was kidnapped.
Police arrested two men, both poor farmers, last week and they told police they killed the girl to appease their gods and get a better harvest, Das said. The men were described as "tribals," a term referring to the region's indigenous people, most of whom remain mired in poverty and illiteracy.
Human sacrifices are rare but get prominent attention every few years. A deep belief in traditional healers, or witch doctors, is common in mostly tribal Chhattisgarh.
Headless Human Sacrifice Victim Found In Indian Temple
Cutting off people's heads as a gesture to the gods may have fallen out of favor, but it still happens sometimes, BBC News reports:
The severed head and torso of a man has been found in a temple in the Indian state of West Bengal in what the police say is a case of "human sacrifice." The head and the body were found at the local temple to the goddess Kali near Chotomakdampur village in the western district of Birbhum.
"This man has been sacrificed to propitiate the gods," said local official Kalyan Mukherjee. "This is a shame for Bengal where the ruling Left coalition claim they have eradicated social evils and combated superstition," an opposition leader Samir Kumar Ray said.

In the digital age, it's difficult to define exactly what is public and when we should reasonably expect privacy. Revelations regarding the surveillance reach of the NSA have many questioning who knows what and how much.
On a daily basis, your activity is being monitored by companies through one simple device – your cell phone. And they know more about you than the government.
This data is being mined and bundled to get a clearer picture of who you are – and turned into gold.
Here are five companies that are making money by watching your every move.
1. Verizon
Verizon quietly made changes to their privacy policies way back in 2011 to indicate that they bundle customers' usage – including Internet, calls, and texting – to be included in "marketing reports." This information is for business purposes, which they then sell to their customers.
And by "customers," they mean businesses interested in the plethora of marketing data.
Verizon has an entire division called Precision Marketing Insights, dedicated to the task of finding businesses willing to pay for the "anonymous" and "aggregated" data collected from users' smartphones, like Internet and app use, as well as location data.
Yes, Verizon customers, you are paying to be a product.
Not to be outdone, earlier this month, AT&T announced that it "may" begin selling customers' U-Verse usage, Internet and wireless usage, and location information. It notified customers of an update in its privacy policy telling customers it will be selling the information "anonymously" and in "aggregate," like Verizon.
This means there is no personally identifying information indicating that it's you at the Beyoncé concert. It will be in the business report as data points – without your name, of course.
The ad for the restaurant around the corner is just a coincidence.
With both companies, you can opt out of sharing the information via their websites. That just stops the sharing of info for marketing purposes, however — not the tracking.
3. Euclid Analytics
Euclid Analytics uses the "Wi-Fi antennas inside stores to see how many people are coming into a store, how long they stay and even which aisles they walk," by reading the pings off of people's phones.
The three year old company boasts about 100 customers, including retailers like Nordstrom and Home Depot. Retailers can even get data on repeat customers and how long they linger on a particular aisle.
Again, the information transmitted is anonymous – for now. Euclid claims that it already has more data than it shares with its customers and would like to implement an "opt-in" feature so that shoppers could be identified and possibly enhance their retail experience.
It would be like shopping on Amazon.com, but with crowds.
4. RetailNext
San Jose-based RetailNext uses your cell phone's Wi-Fi search feature to pinpoint where you are in the store, even if you don't connect to the store's Wi-Fi.
Combined with the footage from the surveillance cameras (they're not just for security anymore), RetailNext helps retailers gather information about customers, the patterns they walk in the store, the items they select to try on and if that display of the latest spring fashion is making customers buy.
Someday, they think that those security tags will be a way to alert salespeople to suggest other items for you to purchase before you leave the store.
It would be like the "other customers have bought" message on Amazon.com, but with a perky salesperson.
5. Placed
Based in Seattle, Placed created an app for those that are willing to surrender to their corporate overlords and have their lives completely analyzed for marketing purposes. It's new and it's reach isn't that far — yet. Since August of last year, more than 500,000 people have agreed to share their gender, age, and to be tracked by GPS and mobile networks.
Placed then…wait for it…bundles all that information and sells it to retailers and other interested business. People who download the app get gift cards and discounts.
It's like living in the Matrix…with a Groupon.
We use our smart phones to play music, which we listen to while we work out. We download the workout app that requires us to put in our age, height and weight. We keep the GPS tracking on to monitor how far we walk, as well as to use the must-have navigation. When we get to our destination, we check in on Foursquare, post it to Facebook, Instagram the funny sign at the door, and post on Twitter – with the appropriate hashtag.
Sometimes we might even call someone.
With all the consternation over government surveillance in the name of national security, we seem to forget how much of our daily lives are already being data mined, harvested and sold to the highest bidder.
And it's done without a warrant.

Where is our privacy?
Phillipa W. - "feeling" as if you are being watched is quite different from knowing that you are, in fact, being watched. The first is paranoid; the second is good reality testing.
This is as sad as it is wrong.
Don't have these five monitoring me; doesn't mean there's nobody else though...
Scary isn't it??
Thanks for the info.
Does anyone really think all this is new? Only the electronic forms of data collection are new.
Thank you for sharing
The new Obamacare will make the snooping by NSA look like kids play as they will ask very detailed questions at the time of signing up about your family, finances history, size of you home and on it will go. We think that the NSA has gone way overboard on privacy issues today it will be nothing compared to the information you will give under Obamacare. We are turning the clock back to the 1937 in Germany?

SAFER envisions a society in which:
SAFER's mission is to educate the public about the relative safety of marijuana compared to alcohol.
Safer Alternative For Enjoyable
Recreation (SAFER) was founded in Colorado in January 2005, in response to a string of alcohol-related deaths that occurred on college campuses around the state.
SAFER and the SAFER Voter Education Fund continue to move reform forward in Denver and Colorado, as well as around the country and beyond.
Successful SAFER campaigns continue to pop up on campuses around the country, the latest of which were at the University of Central Florida, Ohio State University, and the College of DuPage, the midwest's largest community college (located right outside Chicago) and the first community college to consider a SAFER measure. SAFER will continue to work with students around the nation to stand up for more safer, more rational campus policies and bring this important issue to the forefront. Click here to find out how to bring SAFER's campus campaign to your school.
SAFER is keeping the ball rolling in Colorado, partnering with other organizations to build a coalition of activists, elected officials, and professionals to push for local reforms and build support for a future efforts to change state marijuana laws. If you live in Colorado and would like to get involved in this statewide organizing project, please contact SAFER and let us know.
SAFER will also be expanding its operations outside of Colorado, working to educate the public about the relative harms of marijuana and alcohol via traditional grassroots activism and a strategic media campaign.

Oct. 7, 2009
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
In a simplified nutshell, you can see that Don Flanagan's Lobo women were picked to finish off the top of the Mountain West Conference basketball race for similar reasons that the Lobo men fell into the No. 5 spot.
Flanagan's Lobos, picked fourth in the league's preseason poll, probably will have to look for immediate help from some young Lobos and UNM's inside game is a question mark. Ditto for Alford.
San Diego State, co-champs last season, was a strong pick to grab the 2010 title pulling in 25 of 28 first-place votes. The panel consisted of the league's nine coaches and select members of the media. TCU grabbed the other three first-place votes to take the No. 2 spot followed by 3- Utah, 4- New Mexico, 5- Wyoming, 6- Brigham Young, 7- UNLV, 8-Colorado State, 9- Air Force.
Of course, there is a huge and important reason not to discount the 2009-10 Lobos. A legitimate MWC Player of The Year candidate in senior guard Amy Beggin will lead New Mexico.
"She's a leader and players respond to her leadership," said Flanagan via a teleconference call from Denver. "She is a role-model leader. And this season I expect even more from her."
What Flanagan got from Beggin in 2008-09 was 36 starts, 36.2 minutes per game and 15.6 points. Beggin played the stretch run of the season with torn ligaments in an ankle and a target on her back. Still, she performed at an extremely high level.
Beggin again will carry a target on her back this season on a Lobo team that will be loaded on the perimeter and looking for several players to step up their game in the paint.
The Lobos' leader inside last season, Angela Hartill (12.0 pts), has graduated and Flanagan will begin the season looking at a committee of Lobos to provide the inside rebounding, scoring and muscle from both a post and forward spot.
That group includes 6-foot-6 Valerie Kast, 6-foot Eileen Weissmann, 6-1 Jessica Kielpinski and two freshmen: 6-2 Jordan Unverzagt and 6-5 Emily Stark. Weissmann averaged 5.6 points last season, Kielpinski averaged 4.0 and Kast averaged 3.4 points and 7.0 minutes. That's about the scoring production Hartill produced as an individual.
On the outside, Flanagan is loaded. He also returns 6-foot Lauren Taylor, 5-5 Nikki Nelson, 5-11 Sara Halasz, 5-11 Georonika Jackson, 6-1 Porche Torrance, 6-foot Amanda Best. He also has three freshmen guards in 6-foot Jourdan Erskine, 6-foot Chinyere Nnaji and 6-foot Caroline Durbin.
"A couple of (freshmen) will have to play some minutes and a few of them might play some major minutes," said Flanagan."
Beggin was placed on the MWC First Team Preseason team. "The players respond to Amy and our chemistry is going to be good again," said Flanagan.
SDSU returns four starters including two strong candidates for Player of The Year honors in Jene Morris and Paris Johnson. Aztec coach Beth Burns says her team is both "confident and hungry" for the 2009-10 season.

The FDA has approved two new cardiac devices created right here in Minnesota.
Minneapolis-based Medtronic says the new implantable defibrillators respond to problems with heart rhythms faster than other pacemakers. They also have a longer battery life – up to 11 years, meaning fewer surgeries to replace them.
Medtronic says the new devices will reduce heart failure hospitalizations by more than 20 percent.

How to Identify, Show or Record Captioned Media
A Step-by-Step Guide
Identifying Captioned or Subtitled Media
- If you plan to borrow a DVD or video from the University for instructional use, check the San Francisco State University Media Collection Catalog to see if it has either closed captions or Subtitles for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing (SDH). Start by searching on the title you want to borrow and open the link. If the DVD or video is captioned or subtitled, then the last sentence of the description will state this.
- If you plan to show a DVD or video from outside the University collection, then look at the box or cassette for one of the following symbols to confirm that the media is actually captioned or subtitled:
Closed Captioned for the Hearing Impaired Closed Captioning symbol Subtitles for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing; for DVDs only
- If you are still unsure if the videotape or DVD has closed captions or Subtitles for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing (SDH), contact Academic Technology at 338-1493 for further assistance.
Showing Captioned or Subtitled Media
If you have a video that is closed captioned, you can use one of the following three options to show the captioned video:
- Use the Cablecast system to broadcast the video to your classroom. Be sure to ask the A/V Distribution Center staff to use a VCR with a closed caption decoder. They require at least one day's advance-notice to make arrangements for your video to be broadcast to your classroom with closed captions. For more information, visit the AV Distribution Center.
- Use a classroom TV and change the internal TV menu setting using the remote control to activate the captions by tuning it to "C1" (not "C2" or "TEXT1"). If your classroom does not have a TV, you can borrow a media cart with a closed caption decoder from Academic Technology. To reserve the equipment, please call 338-1494. They prefer at least three days of advanced notice so that the media cart may be reserved. For more information, visit the AV Distribution Center. Instructions for operating the closed caption decoder can be found at the following decoder link.
- Use a Smart classroom with closed captioning capabilities. To find out if your classroom is on the list of smart classrooms with closed captioning capabilities, visit the following smart classroom link. All classrooms at the Downtown Campus have closed caption capabilities. If the classroom has closed captioning capabilities, turn on the closed caption decoder that is installed in the A/V console. Instructions for operating the decoder can be found attached to the A/V console or you can call Academic Technology at 338-1494 for further assistance.
If you have a DVD with Subtitles for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing (SDH), you can use a laptop DVD player (e.g., QuickTime Player), classroom DVD player, or the Cablecast system.
A. If you are using a classroom DVD player, go to the "Set-up" or "Languages" page of the DVD menu using your remote control where you can activate the Subtitles for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing (SDH). No closed-caption decoder is required for this step.
B. If you want to use the Cablecast system, inform the A/V Distribution Center staff that you want the Subtitles for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing to be activated.
Troubleshooting Media That is not Captioned or Subtitled
If the videotape or DVD you are bringing in or the existing title in the University Media Collection is not closed-captioned or Subtitled for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing (SDH), you can request Academic Technology to conduct a search for a captioned or subtitled copy.
If a captioned copy is available, it can be purchased with your department's approval.
If a captioned copy is not available and the video is essential to the teaching of your course, submit a captioning request to Academic Technology at firstname.lastname@example.com at least 4-6 weeks in advance. Including "show dates" on the request form will help ensure that the captioned version of your videos is ready in time.
If you encounter any other issues, contact the Disability Programs & Resource Center at 338-2472 to discuss alternatives that will provide your Deaf or hard-of-hearing student with access to the material.
Recording Closed-Captioned Media at Home
- Consult the TV Guide at www.tvguide.com before you begin recording to see if the program is closed captioned. The TV Guide designates closed captioned programs with the "(CC)" symbol.
- If the program is closed captioned, you may record it – even without activating the captions at home. The captions will still be displayed in your classroom with the assistance of the closed caption decoder.
- To ensure that the captions will be displayed in your classroom without any difficulty, bring the media to the Academic Technology department in the J. Paul Leonard Library for verification.
- If the program is not closed captioned and it is essential to the teaching of your course, please submit a captioning request to Brigid Duffy at firstname.lastname@example.com at least 4-6 weeks in advance.
