Abstract: Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is a relatively mild and clinically variable osteochondrodysplasia, primarily characterized by delayed and irregular ossification of the epiphyses and early-onset osteoarthritis. Mutations in the genes encoding cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and type IX collagen (COL9A2 and COL9A3) have previously been shown to cause different forms of MED (refs. 4-13). These dominant forms of MED (EDM1-3) are caused by mutations in the genes encoding structural proteins of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM); these proteins interact with high affinity in vitro. A recessive form of MED (EDM4) has also been reported; it is caused by a mutation in the diastrophic dysplasia sulfate transporter gene (SLC26A). A genomewide screen of family with autosomal-dominant MED not linked to the EDM1-3 genes provides significant genetic evidence for a MED locus on the short arm of chromosome 2 (2p24-p23), and a search for candidate genes identified MATN3 (ref. 18), encoding matrilin-3, within the critical region. Matrilin-3 is an oligomeric protein that is present in the cartilage ECM. We have identified two different missense mutations in the exon encoding the von Willebrand factor A (vWFA) domain of matrilin-3 in two unrelated families with MED (EDM5). These are the first mutations to be identified in any of the genes encoding the matrilin family of proteins and confirm a role for matrilin-3 in the development and homeostasis of cartilage and bone.

The present patent application claims the right of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 (a)-(d) of German Patent Application No. 103 47 702.0, filed Oct. 14, 2003.
The present invention relates to a sintered body based on niobium suboxide. In particular, the present invention relates to sintered shaped bodies which, on account of their resistance to chemicals, are used in chemical apparatus and preferably for the production of anodes for solid electrolyte capacitors, in particular sintered anodes made from niobium suboxide.
Anodes of this type are produced by sintering fine niobium suboxide particles to form a sponge-like structure with an extremely large surface area. A dielectric niobium pentoxide layer is produced on this surface by electrolytic oxidation, and the capacitor cathode, which may consist of manganese dioxide or a polymer electrolyte, is produced on the pentoxide layer. The process used to produce anodes or capacitors of this type, as well as the production of the capacitor precursor powders, includes a range of mechanical and thermal treatment steps in vacuo or reactive and/or protective gas, which entail the risk of contamination with elements which have an adverse effect on the capacitor properties. Therefore, according to WO 02/086923 A2, it is proposed that all equipment used for the mechanical or thermal treatment involved in the production of anodes consist of niobium metal or at least be coated with niobium metal.
One drawback in this context is that niobium metal is a so-called oxygen getter material, which tends to take up oxygen at high temperatures. Accordingly, during high-temperature treatment steps involved in the production of niobium suboxide anodes, which may involve temperatures of up to 1600° C., there is a high risk of oxygen being withdrawn from the niobium suboxide in an uncontrolled way, in particular if there is direct contact between the niobium suboxide and the niobium metal at this high temperature. Furthermore, the niobium metal becomes increasingly brittle as a result of the uptake of oxygen when used repeatedly, and therefore typically has a short service life.
According to the invention, it is now proposed that devices which are used in the production of anodes of this type be formed as sintered bodies based on niobium suboxide and if appropriate magnesium oxide.
Examples of devices of this type include vessels, reactor vessels, reactor linings, mill linings, milling beads, milling rollers, press moulds, press rams, etc.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a sintered body comprising:
The invention also provides a method for producing solid electrolyte capacitors comprising a niobium suboxide anode, said method comprising:
In a further embodiment of the above method, said method further comprises the steps of
In general, said pre-cursor of a niobium suboxide anode is produced by pressing.
The sintered bodies according to the present invention are particularly suitable for use in chemical apparatuses, thus the present invention also provides a chemical apparatus comprising chemically resistant components fabricated from the sintered body according to the present invention.
Such a chemical apparatus is particularly suitable for the production of capacitor grade niobium suboxide powder.
Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers or expressions, such as those expressing quantities of ingredients, mole and volume percents, process conditions, etc., used in the specification and claims are understood as modified in all instances by the term "about."
The sintered bodies preferably contain niobium suboxide of the formula NbOx, where 0.7<x<1.3.
It is particularly preferable for the sum of the molar percentages of niobium suboxide and magnesium oxide to be 100% with the exception of inevitable foreign element impurities. In particular, the sintered bodies should be substantially free of iron, chromium, nickel, alkali metals and halogens. The iron, nickel, chromium, sodium, potassium, chlorine and fluorine impurities should particularly preferably each amount to less than 10 ppm, particularly preferably less than 5 ppm, and also preferably in total less than 30 ppm. On the other hand, impurities or alloying elements of vanadium, tantalum, molybdenum and tungsten amounting to up to a few mol %, for example up to 5 mol %, are harmless.
The sintered bodies according to the invention may advantageously consist of 35 to 100 Mol % of NbOx and 65 to 0 Mol % of MgO. The sintered bodies according to the invention preferably consist of 30 to 60 Mol % of NbOx and 70 to 40 Mol % of MgO, particularly preferably of 45 to 60 Mol % of NbOx and 55 to 40 Mol % of MgO.
Preferred sintered bodies according to the invention have porosities of less than 30% by volume, more specifically the sintered bodies according to the invention have porosities of from greater than 0% by volume to less than 30%, particularly preferably less than 20% by volume, more specifically the sintered bodies according to the invention have porosities of from about 1% by volume to less than 15% by volume. The percent volumes being based on the total volume of the sintered body.
The sintered bodies containing magnesium oxide in accordance with the invention preferably comprise microstructures which include substantially homogeneous niobium suboxide-rich regions and magnesium oxide-rich regions which each extend at most 1.5 μm, preferably at most 1.0 μm in at least one direction. It is preferable for the niobium suboxide-rich regions to comprise at least 95%, particularly preferably at least 99%, of niobium suboxide. The magnesium oxide-rich regions preferably comprise up to 99% of magnesium oxide.
The sintered bodies according to the invention can be produced using standard ceramic processes. For example, the shaping can be performed by axial and/or isostatic pressing, extrusion, conventional pressure-free or pressurized slip casting or also by injection moulding. Depending on the process used, suitable organic auxiliaries, such as for example PVA, PEG, etc. (for pressing), wax or plasticizers which are commercially available for this purpose (for the injection moulding, etc.), which after moulding can be expelled (binder removal) without leaving any residues by means of a heat treatment in air, under protective gas or in vacuo without altering the basic properties of the inorganic base powder, are added to the powder in a manner which is known per se from sintering technology. In air, a temperature of 250° C., preferably 150° C., should not be exceeded, in order to prevent oxidation of the niobium suboxide.
In the case of shaping by pressing, the addition of the organic auxiliaries may advantageously be combined with a granulation step in order to improve the flow properties of the powder.
In the case of slip casting, preliminary drying, preferably in air, has to be carried out after demoulding and prior to the binder removal. Furthermore, a (careful) mechanical treatment using chip-forming processes, such as turning, milling, drilling, etc., can be carried out after the shaping step and prior to the binder removal, in order to make the bodies as close as possible to the desired net shape of the sintered body. A treatment of this type may also be carried out after the binder removal and any pre-sintering step for consolidating the shaped body, in which case machining processes such as dry or wet grinding may also be used.
The sintering itself is carried out in gastight furnaces under a protective gas atmosphere, such as argon or gas mixtures based on argon together with typically 3 to 10% by volume of hydrogen or the like in order to counteract a change in the oxidation state of the niobium suboxide. Before the sintering begins, the furnace is purged with the protective gas or evacuated and flooded with the protective gas. To avoid direct contact between the shaped body to be sintered and the furnace lining, the shaped body is mounted on supports/spacers ("firing aids") made from materials which are thermally and chemically stable at the sintering temperature and do not enter into any reaction with the suboxide. Sintering aids made from dense or porous silicon carbide have proven particularly suitable. The sintering preferably takes place at temperatures of less than 1700° C., particularly preferably between 1550 and 1650° C., with a slow heating rate of less than 10 K/min to the sintering temperature, preferably 1 to 3 K/min in the upper temperature range from 1100° C. up to the sintering temperature, with a holding time at the sintering temperature of preferably less than 10 hours, depending on the desired densification of the shaped body and the particle size of the niobium suboxide and optionally magnesium oxide powders used.
The starting material used for the production of the sintered bodies according to the invention is preferably commercially available high-purity niobium pentoxide with a specific surface area of from 5 to 20 m2/g. The niobium pentoxide, either as such or after reduction in flowing hydrogen to form the niobium dioxide, can be reduced to the suboxide by means of magnesium vapour at a temperature of from 950 to 1150° C. This forms an agglomerate powder which contains magnesium oxide inclusions.
This powder can be used as such after milling to produce the sintered bodies according to the invention. If the starting point is niobium dioxide, sintered bodies which contain approximately 50 Mol % of MgO are obtained. On the other hand, if the starting point is niobium pentoxide, sintered bodies which contain approximately 67 Mol % of magnesium oxide are obtained.
The starting point for the production of sintered bodies which do not contain any magnesium oxide is preferably likewise fine-particle niobium pentoxide with a high specific surface area. This niobium pentoxide is reduced in flowing hydrogen at a temperature of from 1100 to 1400° C. to form the niobium dioxide. Some of the niobium dioxide is reduced further in magnesium vapour to form the niobium metal. Then, the magnesium oxide which is formed is washed out of the niobium metal by means of acids, for example sulphuric acid. The niobium metal is then heated with a stoichiometric quantity of niobium dioxide in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere to 1100 to 1600° C., leading to conversion to the niobium suboxide, NbO. Other compositions of the sintering powder in accordance with the invention are obtained by correspondingly varying the quantitative ratios of the respective reaction components or mixtures.
To attain the relatively high densities of the sintered bodies, it is preferable to use fine-particle agglomerate powders, particularly preferably a screened fraction below 38 μm, more preferably below 20 μm.
Furthermore, the powders which can be used in accordance with the invention to produce the sintered bodies, are eminently suitable for producing coatings by means of high-temperature or plasma spraying, in which case it is possible to produce surface layers which are similar to sintered structures on metals such as niobium, tantalum, molybdenum and/or tungsten. In this case, it is if appropriate possible to additionally use niobium metal powder in subordinate quantities of up to 20% by weight, preferably between 10 and 18% by weight, as binder. Coated devices of this type made from niobium, tantalum, molybdenum or tungsten, according to the invention, are also suitable for the production of solid electrolyte capacitors based on niobium suboxide. Metal devices of this type provided with a coating which is similar to a sintered structure are also intended to be encompassed by the term "sintered body" in accordance with the invention.
The production of a sintering plate for solid electrolyte capacitor anodes is explained below by way of example for the sintered bodies according to the invention.
A niobium suboxide powder of composition NbO with a particle size of less than 38 μm and a particle size distribution in accordance with ASTM B822 (Malvern Mastersizer) corresponding to a D10 value of 2.8 μm, a D50 value of 11.4 μm and a D90 value of 25.2 μm is used. The flow properties of the powder are improved by screening granulation and a tumbling treatment without further additives sufficiently for uniform filling of a press mould to be possible. A hard metal press mould with a square aperture with a side length of 125 mm is used. The granulated powder is introduced into the mould and compacted at 2 kN/cm2. The pressed body, with dimensions of approximately 125×125×15 mm3, after demoulding, is welded into a plastic film and compressed further isostatically at 200 Mpa. The result is a pressed body of approx. 122×122×13 mm3. This pressed body is machined on a conventional milling machine in such a way that a dish-like part with an encircling rim with a height of 13 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm for both the base and the rim remains.
The green machined part is placed without further pre-treatment, inside a SiC vessel, into a gastight furnace heated by means of graphite resistance heating and is sintered. At the start of the sintering, the furnace is evacuated and flooded with a gas mixture comprising 97% by volume of argon and 3% by volume of hydrogen. The heating programme follows a heat-up rate of 10 K/min up to 500° C., a heat-up rate of 5 K/min up to 1100° C., then a heat-up rate of 2.5 K/min up to 1600° C., a holding time of 3 hours at 1600° C., a controlled cooling rate of 5 K/min down to 800° C., followed by uncontrolled cooling to below 150° C. The shaped part which is then removed from the furnace has a density of 6.9 g/cm3 and a Vickers-Hardness HV 10 of 14 Gpa. It may optionally be remachined on the inside and/or outside in order to establish predetermined geometry and surface structures.
Although the invention has been described in detail in the foregoing for the purpose of illustration, it is to be understood that such detail is solely for that purpose and that variations can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention except as it may be limited by the claims.

BGSU classes help establish 'safe zone' for LGBT community, alliesWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Bowling Green State University is looking to become a safe zone for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. The university's LGBT Resource Center will facilitate workshops this summer as part of its SafeZone Project after proving successful during the school months.
The workshop is meant to educate the community to become better allies of the LGBT community.
Assistant Director of LGBT Programs Tobias Spears wants to make BGSU a safe zone.
"I don't think it is necessarily unsafe," Spears said. "I think we all could … become better allies. We live in a world that is homophobic, sexist, patriarchal. BG is like any other place in the world."
Spears said the workshop is "geared around being better allies to LGBT students" so anyone is invited. Spears said attendees have included students from Owens Community College, Lourdes University and local high schools.
Spears, who identifies as gay, is a Ph.D. student who went through Safe Zone training. He said he developed a passion for working with LGBT students while he was pursuing his master's degree at Georgia State University.
"I think LGBT people are absolutely brave, particularly those people who their gender expression gets warped as soon as they walk in the door," Spears said. "A feminine gay man or a masculine lesbian woman; they don't have the same privilege as someone who is passable [as heterosexual.]"
The first class will be 2 p.m. June 19 in room 309 of the Bowen-Thompson Student Union. The second will be 10 a.m. July 9 in room 309 of the same place. Both classes are planned to take two hours. For more information, contact Spears at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You will be going out of town for quite long time, or planning to totally leave your apartment for a business, or whatever reason you may have, it is always easy to sublet an apartment for the remainder of you lease term. Although, there are some precautions that you need to observe before passing your apartment to another lessee. Following are your guide on how to sublet an apartment.
Talk to your Landlord
The primary person that should know you will sublet your apartment is of course, your Landlord. Before passing through the next phase of subleasing, your Landlord's approval must be taken into consideration. Talk about the matter then finalize your decision of subleasing your apartment. If there's an agreement you'll need to settle, be clear with that first so that it will not result to any misunderstandings. If you already had the permission to sublease your apartment then that would be the best time to head to the next step.
Keep your assurance
After talking with your Landlord, finding a sub lessee will be your next step. Keep in mind that your apartment lease terms and conditions are still entitled to you so it is necessary to be assuring that the sub lessee will understand and follow the terms and conditions you will agree upon. A friendly advice, search for a sub lessee that is part of your family. If you have a relative that's needs an apartment, better offer it to him/her so you can have the guarantee. But if there is no one in your family tree that needs one, be sure to never loose contact so you can keep an update about the apartment. This is a very essential part of subletting an apartment because no matter what, you will be responsible on any rental and other damages that the sub lessee may cause. Keep a background check on any potential sub lessee.
Dispose an agreement
After having the sub lessee, make him/her oriented of all the terms and conditions of leasing the apartment. This is very crucial so, make sure not to miss any detail your sub lessee needs to acquire. Make an agreement letter and contract so your arrangement will be protected by a document. Keep a copy signed by both of you.
Inform your Landlord
After everything that was settled, it is the time that your landlord will know the sub lessee personally hence, he will be fully aware of everything. If needed, let him know the arrangement you and the sub lessee agreed upon. Before the end, make sure that the entirety of the subletting is clear to the three of you so it will not cause any confusion afterwards.
Subletting is easy to do but there are details that you may neglect. Do not make subletting with a very short time; you need to be prepared before pushing it. Be profound on every detail and carefully close the deal. Never miss even a small detail; it may lead to a bigger problem in the end.

Harris County Animal Control Services
Harris County Dog/Cat Email: Hi: My name is Aklis and I need help to find which department of Harris County I should refer a complaint: We have a flea infestation coming from our neighbor yard, due to a dog that they have in the back. The dog is not treated properly and even the home next to this property, file a complaint to animal control no long ago, because we saw your van outside. We spoke with the property owner. She said that she will buy chemicals to fight the infestation, but nothing has happen. The infestation is so bad, that we can't go out of the home now, and fleas are coming in now. I have a handicap child and I'm afraid that he get sick due to fleas bites. We almost can't get out of the home. Please help me. My son started his school vacation and now he can't even get out to his own yard. We have spent already a lot of money to get rid of the infestation, but if our neighbor doesn't cooperate and work on the problem as well, we see that we are wasting our money, and it doesn't look that concern the property owner, because she doesn't live there. There is any public health department that help people on problems like this? Please advise
Harris County Wildlife Control Email: We first heard noises in the attic 2 nights ago (November 17), and they sounded louder and heavier than a rat or squirrel. An electrician was in the attic today, and he got a whiff of something stinky and subsequently found some pretty fresh feces that he thought were larger than squirrel droppings. He suspected a possum or raccoon, but saw no openings large enough for either. From the exterior I have found no openings other than wood louvers at 3 gables. When we first moved in 3 yrs. ago I noticed that some of the chicken wire behind the louvers had been pulled back, but it did not appear that the louver openings would accommodate a possum or coon. Previous owners had raccoons in their chimney, so they are in these parts. Lots of squirrels around here, too. You mentioned on your site that if it's a raccoon in the attic, it's probably a mother with young. Do you think that is likely in Houston TX in November? What is your opinion as to what it is? Thanks, Charlie
My response - Could be raccoon or opossum. In either case, there are no young in November. Sometimes the entry point(s) can be very tricky to find. I've had cases in which the animals pushed up soffit covers that fell back into place, and it looks like nothing is open.

The "Legen-dairy" Dairies of Aiken County
Saturday, Aug. 16
• Local author and historian Bill Baab
"The Retail Dairies of Aiken, Columbia & Richmond Counties"
Free and open to the public
2 to 3 p.m.
• "Milk and Cookies" hour for kids
Free milk and cookies
Coloring sheets, word games and special contest
3 to 4 p.m.
• "Milk & Cookies" Rhyme Contest
Bring entry on Saturday
Ballroom of the Aiken County Historical Museum
3 to 4 p.m.
Aiken County Historical Museum is located at 433 Newberry St. SW.
For more information, call 803-642-2015.
The Aiken County Historical Museum invites residents and visitors to take a step back in time when milk was just an open door away.
The Museum will host an exhibit called The "Legen-dairy" Dairies of Aiken County, beginning on Saturday that will run through the middle of September.
The Museum hosted similar exhibits on Aiken's dairy industry in the past, but new Executive Director Brenda Bratto said the decision to create a larger exhibit and event really stemmed from local author and historian Bill Baab's published work, "The Retail Dairies of Aiken, Columbia & Richmond Counties."
"When Bill wrote that book, he really covered things that weren't that familiar," Baratto said. "People do remember the farm where the Aiken Mall is now and Haskell's Dairy in North Augusta. But one of the parts about Bill's book that caught me was the mention of Sam Jones's Dairy; Jones was an African-American. So there's a lot of different aspects to a story we're all familiar with."
On Saturday, Baab will speak about Aiken's dairy history from 2 to 3 p.m. The lecture is free and open to the public. Children are also invited to the exhibit for a "milk and cookies" hour from 3 to 4 p.m. Free milk and cookies, alongside coloring sheets and word games will be offered to kids for free.
If that's not enough milk talk, Haskell's Dairy descendant and Aiken County Councilman Sandy Haskell will present the winner of the Museum's milk and cookies rhyme contest with a $25 gift card to Moe's Southwest Grill. The winner will also have the opportunity to have their rhyme placed on a mock milk bottle, which will be placed inside the Museum's exhibit.
"Why we're stressing this event, especially to kids, is to remind them that there were once times when milk was delivered to your house," Baratto said. "Not that anyone is at home anymore, but things were just done differently long ago."
Baratto thanked Moe's Southwest Grill for their gift card donation and Cracker Barrel's donation of the milk.
The Aiken County Historical Museum is located at 433 Newberry St. S.W.

NXT-AT Bindings
I did not like the bindings. They seem well built, but I didn't like the loose fit. You can't crank them down ratchet like regular bindings. They have to stay somewhat loose, so you can slip boot into binding. Also the more snow or pow, the worse they where to get on. Not for me...

How to make an origami paper crane
Starting off with a square piece of paper. Your first fold will be to turn the square into a triangle by folding the piece of paper in half.
this is how your triangle will look
Now, you're going to take your triangle, and fold it in half once again to make a smaller triangle
now, you've got a smaller triangle. See the opening underneath the top section of paper. Your going to fold that out into a square on both sides.
by putting your finger on the inside, and to the back of the triangle, you can fold that triangle into a square.
now you've got a square on one side, and you're about to turn it over to make what looks like a shark fin on the other:)
See that opening on the shark fin? stick your finger in there, and flatten out the fin in order to make a sqaure on the other side.
see, now you've got a square on both sides with an opening on each side. The next step is a bit tricky. You're going to turn that square into what looks like an ice cream cone by folding the edges of the square inside to the center. You want the tip of the bottom of the cone to be the side that has an opening on it.
just fold those corners to the center.
see, now you've got half of your ice cream cone. Do the same to the other side now.
take the top triangle part (where the actual ice cream would be on the cone) and fold it back and forth. This is just a helper fold, but you'll see why you need to do this in the next step.
Now, you need to open up the previous folds of your cone so it looks like this.
putting your finger into the opening at the bottom of the cone, what you're going to do is push the inside up to make a diamond, this is a bit tricky at first.
see, now you've got your diamond. Repeat this step on the other side. It's like a diamond that has little legs on the bottom. The next step will be to make a helper fold with those little legs.
You're going to now take one of those legs and fold it at an angle up towards the top of the cone. This is just a helper fold, your about to turn that leg into the neck of the crane.
This is probably the hardest fold to understand. What you're going to do is to take that leg and open it up along the side of the cone, and push it upwards, and inside out.
See, now you've got the neck of your crane. Repeat these last step on the other side as well.
Now, all you have to do is bend the end of the neck down a bit to form the beak.
And now you've got you're crane:)

One of my grandmothers paintings
This is a painting my grandmother did around 1967. It is entitled "creation" and is a large oil painting on masonite. Measuring more than 6 feet wide, this was the painting one first saw when walking into her house in rural Kansas. Her name was Frantiska Brzon Palecek, and she was a strong supporter of science, and evolution. While the painting is entitled creation, the painting had much more to do with amino acids forming into proteins than any ethereal cloud being. I m sure that my early trips to my grandmother's house (which doubled as her own personal gallery) were influential in my own interest and early development as an artist. She was not professionally trained, and started painting very late in life, nonetheless, she made some beautiful paintings that I will be posting alongside my new works.

Fuck You, I won't do what you tell me!
The term "mook" is an advertising industry word which denotes a certain type of character which is easily marketed towards teenage males. Tom Green, The Characters of Jackass, and the South Park characters are all examples of mooks. Mooks many times have an attitude that exudes an ideology of "I don't give a fuck of what you think about me". Mooks are predominantly anti-everything, the idea of a mook being involved in politics, religion, or politically correct terms is totally foreign to their universe.
Mooks do come in different forms, and it's important to differentiate the different worlds in which they inhabit. For instance, there are some mooks which wish to be counter-cultural in their dress, music, videogames, and sexuality. These types of mooks would be more geared towards the music of marilyn manson, gothic dress, and black eyeliner on both men and women. While the message, and its popularity remains the same (Fuck everyone, but me) the way it's marketed must evolve in order to capture this section of the market.
One of the most succesful things captured by the advertising industry was the skateboard. Once, a symbol of countercultural individuality, freedom, and punk rock music (suicidal tendencies, and dead kennedies being the most important of these), the skateboard was succesfully co-opted by mass media to sell everything from mountain dew, shoes, and hoodies, to films, music, and even christianity. The marketing of the skateboard read directly into risk taking behavoir of teenagers, combined with a "fuck the system" sort of attitude. It was perfect, and the fact that the characters of jackass were also accomplished skaters was no accident.
The american-male-heterosexual-teenager is the most powerful force in advertising, with young males spending more money than even their shopaholic female counterparts. However a problem arose because corporations are generally full of old bureaucrats who were out of touch with youth culture. This was remedied rather quickly, and now young american teenagers are paid up to 150 dollars an hour simply to talk about what they think is cool. The term for this practice of focus grouping is called "trendspotting" or "coolhunting". So there is a sort of democracy involved in the process. In a sense, the mooks are driving, and choosing what they want marketed to them.
In this installation I give an inside look into the most cherished private space of a young male:his bedroom. A boys bedroom will tell a lot about his personal decisions, as well as the final step in the marketing process directed towards them. I have chosen to appraoch the imagery as cultural iconography, and this is why I repaint, or redraw every poster, or image held within it. I also chose to use different time periods in the project in order to give a larger thematic whole that goes back many years. The viewers have the oppurtunity to sample music, as well as play video games which will afford the viewer a glimpse into this world in which many teenage boys have, and still do inhabit.
and the czech version
Jdi do prdele, neudělám, co mi říkáš
Anglický výraz "mook" představuje v reklamním světě určitý typ člověka, který je blízký a tak snadno prodejný především chlapeckým teenagerům. Tom Green, postavy z pořadů Jackass a South Park jsou právě takovými příklady "mooks". "Mooks" často zaujímají postoj "seru na to, co si o mně myslíte " a staví se proti všemu. Politika, náboženství či snad politicky korektní termíny jsou jim v jejich světě cizí.
"Mooks" se objevují v několika podobách a je tedy důležité rozlišit různé světy, které obývají. Například jsou takoví, kteří se chtějí stavět antikulturními a vyjadřují to oblečením, hudbou, videohrami či sexualitou. Tyto typy by byly přitahovány hudbou Marilyna Mansona, gotickým oblečením a černou oční linkou, kterou by si malovalo jak ženské tak i mužské pohlaví. Jejich oblíbený přístup "seru na všechny mimo sebe" zůstává neměnný, ale způsob kterým se zajistí odbyt na trhu, se musí rozvinout tak, aby se pokryla tato sekce prodeje.
Jednou z nejúspěšnějších věcí, které se zmocnil reklamní průmysl, byl skateboard. Kdysi symbol antikulturního individualismu, svobody a punk rock muziky (skupiny Sebevražedné Sklony a Mrtví Kennedyové se řadí k nejdůležitějším v tomto žánru), skateboard byl úspěšně kooptovaný hromadnými sdělovacími prostředky, aby se prodalo vše od Coly, bot, mikin s kapucou až po filmy, hudbu a dokonce i křesťanství. Prodej skateboardu měl za následek spojení chování teenagerů s postojem "seru na systém". Bylo to dokonalé a fakt, že představitelé show Jackass jsou také uznávaní "skejťáci" není náhodný.
Americký heterosexuální teenager mužského pohlaví je nejmocnější silou v reklamě. Tito mladíci utratí více peněz než jejich nakupováním posedlé ženské protějšky. Nicméně objevil se problém. Obchodní společnosti jsou přeplněny starými byrokraty, kteří mají daleko k této mladé kultuře. Naštěstí se tato situace vyřešila velmi záhy a v současné době si mladí američtí teenageři přijdou i na 150 dolarů za hodinu, když jen mluví o tom, co si myslí, že je "cool".
"Coolhunting" tedy "honba za tím, co je "cool" je termín, který označuje zmíněnou činnost. V tomto procesu je určitá demokracie. "Mooks" si vlastně řídí výběr toho, co chtějí, aby se jim prodávalo.
V této instalaci nabízím vnitřní pohled do nejsoukromějšího místa mladého muže: jeho ložnice. Chlapecká ložnice řekne mnoho o jeho osobních rozhodnutích stejně tak jako o konečném výsledku procesu prodeje a nákupu, který k nim vede. Vybral jsem si přiblížení se fantazii jako kulturní ikonografii, a proto jsem přemaloval nebo překreslil každý plakát nebo představu skrývající se uvnitř. Také jsem zvolil různá časová období, abych rozšířil tematický celek, který se vrací o mnoho let zpátky. Návštěvníci mají příležitost poslechnout si písničku nebo si mohou zahrát videohru. To jim umožní nahlédnout do teenagerovského světa, který tito chlapci obývají.

What Model iPhone, iPod touch or iPad Do I Have?
We realize that it can be difficult to know what iPhone, iPod touch or iPad you have especially with multiple generations of each device to think about, so here's a simple page on getting past those difficulties.
First things first is to determine which device you have; an iPhone, an iPod Touch or an iPad. From left to right: iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad.
Once you know if you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad you need to determine which model you have.
There are several different models of the iPhone for you to look for. The first iPhone has a drastically different design than the other three iPhones and is definitely the easiest to identify. It simply has an aluminum back with a smaller black plastic bottom. If you have identified your device as a first generation iPhone, click here to see the iPhone 2G jailbreak page. The first generation iPhone is commonly called the iPhone 2G.
The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS are the next two models in the iPhone line. The iPhone 3G is the second generation iPhone, while the iPhone 3GS is the third generation iPhone. While at first glance the two devices may look difficult to differentiate they are easy to distinguish. The easiest way to tell is by the apps on your device. If you have an application called "Compass" then you have an iPhone 3GS. If you do not you have the Compass application then you have an iPhone 3G. Now that you know this, click here to jailbreak the 3G or here for the 3GS.
Much like the iPhone 3G and 3GS the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S look quite similar. To easily tell the difference, grab your iPhone and take a look at the rear cover. On the bottom you should see a Model Number. If it is A1249 or A1332 you have an iPhone 4 and if it is A1387 you have an iPhone 4S. Click here to jailbreak your iPhone 4 and here to jailbreak the iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 5 is easy to tell apart from earlier iPhones. It is much thinner and taller than the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, if you flip the phone over and see a metal backing as opposed to all glass you have the iPhone 5. It also has the front facing camera centered above the speaker grille instead of being beside it. Click here to jailbreak the iPhone 5.
iPod Touch
The iPod Touch is a little more difficult to identify which generation compared to the iPhone. There are four generations of iPod Touches and if you have a first generation iPod Touch you'll see a gunmetal colored back as opposed to the chrome in later models. You will also see a completely flat back on this generation unlike the other three generations of the iPod Touch. If yours is like this, then you need go no further; simply click here to choose your jailbreak.
Whether you have an iPod Touch second generation or third generation is determined by whether you have a MB model (featured in the second generation) or a MC model (featured in the third generation). You can easily find out which model you have by opening up the Settings application, then General and finally About. Scrolling down will reveal your Model Number. If the Model Number begins with MB you definitely have a second generation. If so, click here to jailbreak. If you have a MC model you have a third generation iPod touch and can click here to jailbreak.
The fourth generation is easy. The fourth model of the iPod Touch has cameras on both the front and the back of the device so if yours does you can click here to jailbreak.
With the fifth generation iPod touch all you need to do is flip it over to the back. If you see a colored metal finish then you have an iPod touch 5G which you can click here to jailbreak.
The first model of the iPad is easy to spot. If it has a curved back and no cameras you have the iPad 1 and can click here to jailbreak.
The iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4 all look similar so it's easy to confuse them. The iPad 2 sports a flat back and a pair of cameras up front and on the rear. On the back you should see a model number, if you see A1395, A1396 or A1397 you have an iPad 2 so to jailbreak click here.
The iPad 3 is marginally thicker however for the most part it's physically the same as the iPad 2 so it's best to check the model number once again. If you see A1403, A1416 or A1430 you have an iPad 3 and can click here to jailbreak.
The iPad 4 is a bit easier to spot as it drops the typical 30-pin connector at the bottom of the tablet for a much smaller Lightning port, if you see this then click here to jailbreak the fourth generation iPad.
The iPad mini is easily spotted as it's much smaller than the full sized iPads. It also has a much smaller bezel on the sides making it narrower than other models. If you have an iPad mini click here to jailbreak it.

HTC confirms its roll out of Android 2.2 will take rest of year.
Got a spanking new HTC Android blower? Can't wait for FroYo to rock up so you can play nice with all those updates? Well, you're going to have a wait on your hands. HTC has said it's going to take the rest of the year to get its Android line up loaded up with the latest software.
The mobile maker's online community manager said he hoped HTC, "...would be done with FroYo updates before Christmas." Seeing as it's taken almost a year for the HTC Hero to get an Android 2.1, even that sounds optimistic.
Related links:

- Android 2.2 FroYo first look review
Explaining the Taiwanese tech titan's position, Lin said, "It takes time to port all of our applications over to FroYo and then make sure that it is running well on each of our devices. That's not like a one week kind of project. We need to make sure that our applications are taking advantage of the FroYo features."
That means Android 3.0 Gingerbread could be ready to roll by the time the likes of the Legend, Desire and Wildfire are sorted with Android 2.2. However, rumours suggest these phones will not be in line for an Android 3.0 upgrade as Google looks to more specced-up future devices.
Have you got an HTC phone? How do you feel about this lengthy wait for Android 2.2? Tell us on Twitter or Facebook now.

Elves in Anglo-Saxon England: Matters of Belief, Health, Gender and Identity
Boydell Press, Jan 1, 2007 - History - 226 pages
Anglo-Saxon elves (Old English aelfe) are one of the best attested non-Christian beliefs in early medieval Europe, but current interpretations of the evidence derive directly from outdated nineteenth- and early twentieth-century scholarship. Integrating linguistic and textual approaches into an anthropologically-inspired framework, this book reassesses the full range of evidence. It traces continuities and changes in medieval non-Christian beliefs with a new degree of reliability, from pre-conversion times to the eleventh century and beyond, and uses comparative material from medieval Ireland and Scandinavia to argue for a dynamic relationship between beliefs and society. In particular, it interprets the cultural significance of elves as a cause of illness in medical texts, and provides new insights into the much-discussed Scandinavian magic of seidr. Elf-beliefs, moreover, were connected with Anglo-Saxon constructions of sex and gender; their changing nature provides a rare insight into a fascinating area of early medieval European culture. Shortlisted for the Katharine Briggs Folklore Award 2007 ALARIC HALL is a fellow of the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies.

My proposal would shatter the control the old boy network currently enjoys. And it obliterates the influence of the corrupt media.
A playoff would destroy the the one aspect of Division I college football which makes it truly unique in the world of sports: No team is ever guaranteed a second chance; to guarantee at least a chance to play for a national championship, you must win each and every game. The best illustration of this is the fate of Michigan two years ago. Under a tournament format, the loser of the Ohio State/Michigan game would have simply received a lower tournament cede. What was at stake in the game would have been akin to a winning a conference title in college basketball. Instead, both teams knew that the loser could still, with luck, get a second chance; but more likely than not, the loser was out of national championship contention. The game was, in essence, a playoff. While Michigan was arguably a better team than Florida, they have only themselves to blame for their fate.
The regular season frequently produces games games like this, though its not always this obvious at the time. Many games that appear to be very meaningful at the time turnout not to be. And sometimes the stakes are apparent only in retrospect. That is what makes the regular season in college football so compelling. Its something very special and should be preserved.
College football is the most compelling sport there is because it lacks a playoff. The 'human element' should be removed from the business of ranking teams altogether as bias and conflict of interest are inevitable in any polling system. Instead, teams should simply be ranked by fewest losses, with ties broken by a strength of schedule formula which uses both the winning percentages of a team's opponents and the winning percentages of their opponent's opponents, with 2/3 weight given to the former. To qualify for the national title game, a team's strength of schedule must fall within, say, the top three quintiles of all Division I schedules. Not a perfect system, perhaps, but at least the only 'human element' involved in the process is the one actually on the field.

6 Sex Messes & How To Clean Them Up (NSFWish)
Blood stains on sheets
3 of 7
Sex Mess: Period sex, accidental period sex, or blood drawn from scratching too hard during orgasm.
Cleanup Tip: The longer the blood stain stays there, the harder it will be to get rid of it. Keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide handy and soak the blood stain in it. Blot with a towel or rub with a scrub brush and repeat until it disappears. Then go to sleep in your partner's arms and wash your sheets in the morning.

Young student soon to shoot a short film which takes place mostly at a laundromat, at night. Shooting on Sony F3.
Not too sure how to create an; unsettling, tense, cold, bare, dark - mood for this picture. The space is big and has one large window.
One of my concerns is that flickering green hue that the florescent bulbs produce.
Wondering perhaps if it's a good idea to leave the florescent-tubes as they are( with the green-hue ), apply a "greenish" make-up on the subject's face and then in Post, take-away all the Green ( - ) out. Ive been told that that would "normalize" and balance out the colors.
Wondering if anyone could tell me if that is true and is good approach...?
Also thinking to minimize some of the bulbs being turned "on" the ceiling (or have just one light flicker), to create that tension, anxiety in the atmosphere.
Any suggestions would be helpful and highly appreciated!
Thank you
Depending on your budget, I'd use the lights that are already in there and fix everything in post. Colourista by red giant software is excellent. Ensure you get a shot of your white board though for sampling in post. You could also replace all the bulbs in there with colour correct film florescent tubes but that could be costly.

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra believes England followed Chelsea's example in order to collect a UEFA EURO 2012 point against France on Monday.
Les Bleus dominated possession, and made twice as many passes as their opponents in the Donbass Arena.
However, they were unable to find a second goal once Samir Nasri had levelled Joleon Lescott's point-blank header before half-time as England defended doggedly.
"We are frustrated because I think we played much better," said Evra. "At times it was like there were 15 bodies in front of us. It was really difficult to find space.
"People laugh but they played the way that Chelsea played against Barcelona. Maybe the fans want England to play more football but if they win the tournament like that, they will be happy."
Nasri shines
Nasri was crowned man-of-the-match by UEFA for an excellent overall display.
"I think Samir was happy to score a goal and play a good game," said France coach Laurent Blanc.
Meanwhile, Nasri revealed he deceived City team-mate Joe Hart in order to score his goal. "When Franck Ribery gave me the ball, the England defence was really low (sitting back)," said Nasri.
"I decided to take a shot but Joe Hart knows me from Manchester City and knows that in that situation, I normally open my foot. This time I closed it a little bit so I am happy with how it worked out."
Although Nasri was disappointed France only collected a point, he accepts it is already a vast improvement on the events that unfolded in South Africa two years ago.
Laurent Blanc's men have taken their unbeaten run to 22 games and are in good heart ahead of a meeting with co-hosts Ukraine in Donetsk on Friday.
"We are making a lot of progress," he said. "We have come from nothing in 2010, when we made a lot of mistakes. Today we are more mature. We can do something with this group."
Nasri played down the massive ice-pack he had strapped to his knee, insisting it was "nothing serious".

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that a Milwaukee woman has appeared for sentencing on a conviction for Medicaid fraud related to the submission of fictitious claims for durable medical equipment. Donnis Carrington was convicted of medical assistance fraud on March 16, 2012, with two counts of identity theft dismissed and read-in for consideration at sentencing.
On May 23, 2012, Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Dennis R. Cimpl imposed and stayed a sentence of three and half years imprisonment, comprising one and a half years of initial confinement and two years on extended supervision. Carrington then was placed on probation with conditions to include six months in the House of Corrections, no possession of dangerous weapons, absolute sobriety, and various other educational and rehabilitative components.
According to the criminal complaint, the defendant submitted payment claims to Wisconsin Medicaid for the provision of durable medical equipment (DME) used for orthotic purposes. Medicaid is a healthcare program for the needy and disabled jointly funded by the state and federal governments. Orthotics is a branch of medicine that deals with the use of specialized mechanical devices to support weakened joints or limbs.
Carrington submitted an application to become a DME provider, obtained a provider number and authorization to bill for DME provided. The claims that followed were for halo cervical devices, tension scoliosis devices, and KAFO devices used to support the knee-ankle-foot. That equipment typically requires specialized medical treatment for installation and use, but no such complementary claims were filed.
Further investigation revealed that the Medicaid recipients for whom the devices were allegedly provided did not know Carrington nor did they have need for such orthotic devices. The fraudulent claims totaled $32,250, but the Department of Health Services intercepted payment after it determined the claims were fictitious and before any money was paid out.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Thomas Storm. Amy Severt of the Department of Justice Office of Crime Victim Services provided victim assistance.
