Hydraulic Compression Tools
Battery Powered Compression Tool
The BH-68 Compression Tool from Cooper Power Systems was designed to install Serv-ens, Squeezons, lugs, sleeves and other industry connectors.
It can be easily carried and used in limited access areas because of its 180˚ swivel head and compact design. Its six ton output is equal to our O-60 Series Compression Tools.
Type WH3 Tool
Our WH3 Compression Tool from Cooper Power Systems features a large 1 1/2" jaw opening between dies to allow work on very large connectors. Its head is capable of rotating a full 360° for ease of use in hard to reach applications. The fast moving ram greatly reduces actual crimping time, while the internal "pop-off" valve automatically releases pressure at 12 tons of force in the jaws. This is accomplished by a two stage pump. The WH3 has been designed with an even weight distribution to make it easier to hold the tool with arms extended. An easy twist handle mechanism allows single handed release of the ram for increased ergonomic control. The WH3 accommodates all existing WH2 dies, and is designed for over 100,000 crimps.
Battery Powered BH-4 Compression Tool
The BH-4 was designed to install Servens, Squeezons, lugs, sleeves and other industry connectors. It can be easily carried and used in limited access areas because of its 340˚ swivel head and compact design. Its 12 ton output is equal to our WH Series Compression Tools.
Power Operated Remove Hydraulic Tool
The PH13 Tool features the same 1 1/2" jaw opening between dies that the hand hydraulic WH3 Tool is equipped with. We have developed two separate versions to allow compatibility with either a 4,000 or 10,000 psi system. This new tool accommodates all existing WH2 and WH3 dies.
WH3 Tool Die adapter
The die adapters, locked into a WH3 tool, allow you to choose a fast acting 12 ton tool with a 1 1/2" jaw opening and 360° swivel without reinvesting in dies.
RH15 Compression Tool
The PH15 is a 15 ton, 10,000 psi remote tool designed for maximum flexibility. Using one of several die holder assemblies, this tool will accommodate Kearney PH2 or PH4, Burndy® Y35 or Y46 dies or Thomas & Betts TBM15 dies. A large jaw opening and streamlined "C" frame makes this tool easier to use on larger connectors.
PH25 Compression Tool
The PH25 is a 25 ton, 4,000 psi remote tool. It is a proven performer, delivering a low cost compression
connection process. Rugged, yet precision head design covers a wide range of transmission fittings. Smallest head size is available on safer, lower pressure 4,000 psi systems.
The Type PH25 Tool can be used in on-ground or liveline connection operations.

Khan almost wasn't Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness
In the months leading up to the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, we got a lot of "Is he or isn't he?" teases as to whether Benedict Cumberbatch's character would be Khan Noonian Singh. Screenwriter Roberto Orci reveals in a new interview that, even during the scripting phase, there was a lot of debate about whether… »

Welcome to 2010?
a welcome from me as well
[Edited by IbrahimX999, 11/26/2010 2:43:50 PM]
Not that I'll use it. I'm in the habit of typing the codes.
The "Text formatting:" under the message box in the post are clickable.
That's been that way for a while. And while it is nifty, it is functionally limited since it doesn't compile the text or previous quotes automatically between the formatting codes.
I found someone that didn't know like me. xD

Laying paving slabs is still the most popular way to create a patio in the UK and Garden Oasis have a great selection of Kelkay paving slabs and patio kits in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes. In addition to the patio kits, we also offer bulk packs of paving slabs in various sizes for you to create a patio in a size and shape to suit your garden.

We have a range of garden paving slabs that are square in shape and we stock 450mm by 450mm, 300mm by 300mm and 600mm by 600mm paving slabs. These can be laid to create larger patio areas. They are purchased in pallets ranging from quantities of 28 through to 56 with discounts across the range.
Before you purchase your paving slabs you need to be sure you have the correct volume required. Here's a quick guide to measuring your garden space so you know exactly what you need:
Step 1 – Draw a plan of your garden space
Step 2 – Use string, markers of some kind and mark out the area your garden paving slabs are going to cover
Step 3 – Grab that measuring tape and accurately measure each section you've marked out in the garden. Make a note of the measurements on your drawing.
Step 4 – If your garden is particularly oddly shaped, you may find it difficult to calculate the are from the shape you have in front of you. So, a quick tip, try reducing the drawing to smaller square or oblong shapes. That way, you have smaller areas to calculate where your garden paving slabs are going.
Step 5 – Length multiplied by width equals the area (remember to do it in metres squared. You should now have the total area required.
Step 6 – Know you can calculate the amount of garden paving slabs you need. For example, if your garden paving area is going to be 6m by 4m, that will be an area of 24 metres squared. Change that into millimetres (24 x 1000) which makes 24,000 millimetres. You've decided you want our 300mm by 300mm garden paving slabs. The total area of one paving slab is 900mm (300 x 300), that means you'll need 27 garden paving slabs to cover it (24,000 divided by 900)! However, we do recommend you over order, just in case some get broken or estimates are slightly less than originally measured.

I love the whole story so far! I can't wait to see what happens in the end. It was very clever how you tied in all the bits we already know from Snapes past like from HBP etc. I also can't wait to see how Snape ends up becoming a spy for LV and how he gains his trust etc!! Keep it coming!
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing! I'm finishing up the polishing on the DE bits; there's more, I promise! *reminds self to take own advice, stay off forums, and WRITE*
Adorable, I really liked Severus's ideas of what a host family does, and your ideas about Americans focusing on muggle studies but being lax about defense. Very well done as always, it was a really new form but I liked it. I really enjoyed the changes in what he called Lily and also the little references to things she said in reply letters. Well done indeed! The bribe to Slughorn was a good touch as well!
Author's Response: Thanks! I suspect the bribe to Slughorn was the always-appreciated candied pineapple -- nice and light for those international mailings -- and that Severus would find no need to say so. I keep trying to decide if there's a story brewing on the Wizarding world of Chicago, and if so, what it is. So far they're just on the perimeter here. Thanks for reviewing!
i had to read it....nothing can stop me;-D. I thought it was certainly different than the other chapters. Snape is getting too nice to people. I should have seen it coming. And Lily is finally married, pretty quickly too. Why was Snape researching bug repellant perfume anyways?
Author's Response: Good to have you back! You know you had to read it... and thanks for stopping to say so as well. Bug-repellant perfume? Because of the unfortunate fact of the working world -- you do what the boss wants you to do. Call it doubly challenging for our Severus, perhaps. *evil grin* And one more reason for England to look better than it might otherwise.
I really liked this chapter; it was clever the way you let us know the content of Lily's letters a bit through Severus's responses. And researching make up?? That was a good touch. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter, but I'm wondering--to you intend to write out his entire story? Up to and including HBP?
Author's Response: I don't plan on making this fic his entire story -- but the spinoffs are in grave danger of getting that way sometimes. I seem to just keep writing him...
I love it! Will we get to see the other side of this correspondence?
Author's Response: "the other side..." Not anytime soon, I'm afraid -- those letters just never came up. You probably could guess some of the high points, though. Thanks for the (amazingly quick) review!
i Do you see no character flaws or weaknesses that might be used to break this essentially decent (but generally misperceived) boy? Break him? Oh, dear, that doesn't sound good at all. Of course, Severus as you write him is deeply flawed. He doesn't believe in himself, he dying to be loved whether he admits it to himself and he a metric buttload of repressed anger. What's worse, he's afraid of his own capacity for anger and won't learn to deal with it. For now, though, he seems so clear-eyed and, well, sensible. Don't get me wrong, I've read all your stories and am sure you'll make a great transition. I just want to see how you pull it off. Oh, look at that, another 10 rating.
Author's Response: Whew! I was afraid I'd done another impossible thing and Gary-Sued poor Snape. Thanks for the review, reply, and ten! (And also for that new unit of measurement -- I'm going to be chuckling over "metric buttload" all day.)
I really like these characterizations of Snape and Lily but I just don't see this particular boy joining the Death Eaters. He's just too selfless and essentially decent to become the Snape Rowling has unveiled so far. Of course, there are those who think Snape has been with The Order longer than we think. I can't see your Severus becoming a Death Eater in earnest for anything, but he'd be up for putting his own life on hold for a year or two (or so he thinks) to infiltrate the Death Eaters. For some reason the following line from Severus is stuck in my head. Severus is being recruited as a spy, and doesn't really see why: "Sir... the traits you mentioned are not talents. They're characters flaws."
Author's Response: "...but I just don't see this particular boy joining the Death Eaters." One of the things I'm exploring with this fic is what it takes to make someone do something that is fundamentally against their nature. Do you see no character flaws or weaknesses that might be used to break this essentially decent (but generally misperceived) boy? If you do not, I've screwed up and need to know about it! I happen to think that Severus as he stands right now is susceptible to the right sort of force from just the right manipulative character -- and there's plenty of those about.
New chapters soon, I promise!
I beg of you, PLEASE DO NOT SEND SNAPE TO THE U.S.!!!!!!!! I'm sorry, I dislike the idea. He should be swept up by the death eaters pretty soon without Dumbledore's knowledge, or Lily's either. Lily and Snape aren't going to see eachother anymore, are they? Especially with James marrying her. So, does teh story end with Hogwarts, or are you going to keep writing till after the Lily-James-Harry-Voldemort party. Hmm....please continue the story anyways!
Author's Response: Too late. The whole monster's all written and sitting on the portable drive. He's only gone for one very indirect chapter -- I promise. It serves a few devious literary purposes, gets him a few things in jars, and gives him some badly-needed work experience. But if you truly hate the idea, just skip ahead to 33.
...... is it me, or did you repeat the whole chapter in itself, somehow....? Weird!
Author's Response: Attention, everyone: this is a very helpful review. Problem fixed after a mere 180 reads! Quite right -- it was doubled, and I probably hit the "copy" twice without realizing it. Thanks!!!
Wow. So Snape is going to America, and Lily is apparently going to get married to James soon. I was excited to finally see the appearance of that Black-Browed Albatross! I also love how you manage to sneak in the oh-so-subtle doubts as to Sirius' *ahem* orientation :)
Might I beg a question answered?? About how much more do you have in store for us before the story's end?? :looks up with sad puppy-dog eyes: Just a hint, maybe?? (I'd be most pleased if you said you were writing up to the summer before canon started!) :grin:
Author's Response: Up to early Nov. of the significant year, then a sort of afterward when Harry starts Hogwarts. After that... other stuff up my sleeve, maybe. For some reason the AU bunnies keep dropping in for carrots. I always am a sucker for puppy-dog eyes.
Aww its very sad that its over, but I'm glad that Lily and Severus both seem to be going where they wish. I wonder how Severus will react to hearing about the marriage and Harry's birth. Will he maybe pay a quick visit to the small child and new mother? Great update as always! I'm incredibly depressed now that I realize we're far more than half way through!
Author's Response: Thanks, and WOW that was fast. This chapter had been up a whole five minutes, I think. We'll be leaving Hogwarts for a few chapters, but back again eventually as you know.
Aww I truly loved seeing how caring Snape could be and how well he can take care of someone in need when he has to. I also really liked how much Madame Pomfrey trusts him. A great chapter to show the way Severus has changed over the years!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! As for the trust Madam Pomfrey is showing, well, every ward needs someone to -- erm, empty the contents of the bedpans, as it were? This was a wonderful chance for Severus to show that many of the character features we tend to think of as his flaws can also be his strengths -- it just depends on the use he's making of them. Annoying, confrontational, cunning, devious... but in this case, at least, in a reasonably moral way.
So whos this new kid Applegarth...will Severus befriend him, will his reputation tear apart because this leaks out, and don't you think having Wilkes out of school is a much more dangerous proposition than having him in school? Who will become the new Wilkes? Wow, Carter actually looks like a "good" guy (relatively speaking) from coming from Slytherin. Amazing how most slytherins end up as death-eaters, after Voldemort left. So, I think Applegarth, being the victim that he is, might either follow the Malfoy path or the Neville path. Ooo I like how Snape has changed so much from having literally no friends to having just Lily to being "friendly" with a whole bunch of people, including Madame Pomfrey.
Author's Response: OH-oh, I sense another OC bunny coming on. Mark Applegarth may just have to express some thoughts on getting his prefect badge in a few years and discovering his new Head of House. Wilkes out of school is probably more dangerous for the world at large, but a considerable improvement for Slytherin House for the moment. Severus is perfectly capable of letting vengeance stay on the back burner until it is called for.
The Howler burst into flames, and Severus looked down at his plate. A pale hand appeared at the edge of his vision for an instant, placing his ring on the table, and Narcissa fled crying.
Awww! Poor Severus! And poor Narcissa! (It's uncanny how we seem to think along this line--Regulus in the reason Snape and Cissa aren't together in my own fic as well! /blatantselfpromotion) :) I reckon we'll see Regulus get his comeuppance for that later on, eh? :evilgrin:
I love how clear you make it that Severus cares about Lily without being explicit about it. They have fun together....he's relaxed and even *euphoric* without swallowing the potion yet. I think by now it's clear to your readers that Severus loves Lily, even though he himself doesn't realize it yet!
And all this is coming from someone who does NOT like the Snape/Lily ship at all--so in other words, you're *really* doing a great job here! :)
Author's Response: I am a welfare mooch in the MNFF review economy -- one of these days I will drop some lines at your fic, I promise.
I'm glad this complicated and contrary SS/LE ship (maybe catamaran) is working for you. I posted a while ago on the beta boards that my favourite reviews are the "I don't usually like ___ but..." ones, and suddenly seem to have a new flock of them. They're still my favourites!
Aha! I had my suspicions about that Hawk bloke...I'm guessing he goes to Azkaban but somehow informs the Dark Lord that there's this great Legilimens he should go recruit named Severus Snape...? :( Love watching all this come together! This bit really shows a different side to Sev than we see with adult/canon!Snape and his house favoritism:
Three people who hated him were ready to hex a professor on principle, on his account. Every now and then he appreciated Gryffindors.
You know what I always give to this fic...10/10 :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Good to know Hawk made you suspicious. The House favouritism will have several facets in future, so I'm delighted with the comment.
Just dropping in to say, this bit is particularly brilliant:
Good." Severus hesitated. "Do you recall Lucius Malfoy?"
"Yes." Carter's tone was quite flat.
"If I wanted to pick a fight with Malfoy, what would you do?"
"Sell tickets and hide his wand, of course. Wilkes is the new Malfoy?"
"He is."
Love it! The spirit of revenge is perhaps stronger in Sev than in the average person, but it suits Severus as we know him in canon. Chomping at the bit--more more more!!
Author's Response: I enjoyed writing that. Carter likes getting the occasional good line. Nice people do not make the best avenging angels, wouldn't you say?
I am so glad you added more chapters. I'm enjoying this story so much, not only as backstory to the Rowlings canon, but as a work in itself.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad to hear it.
I've never liked Snape. Never. But in this story, I find myself rooting for him more often than not. I realized this especially during the Quidditch against James, when in my mind I'm shouting "Go Snape!" but then I realize, "I'm not supposed to like him, I'm supposed to like Harry's dad!" Ah well. You do a great job including the little bits of information we have about Snape, Lily and the Marauders in a truly canon-like and very, very realisitic way. You're a fantastic writier and your new characters fit in well with the rest of the group. They don't seem out of place at all. Your Hogwarts is perfection -- fabulous job, I love the story, and can't wait to read more. Definitely 10/10
Author's Response: *blush*
Whenever someone claims to dislike Severus, says I've been very canonical, and then tells me that they're rooting for my character anyway, I have to love it. Thank you, thank you!
*still blushing*
YEEAAHH!! I finally found the time to read more of this (you do know that you update like greased lightning?), and what do I find? Cissy in Snape's lap!! You're too good to us :D
This is exactly how I picture it--Cissa coming onto him, them wanting to be together, but her family (or one member in particular, perhaps?) ruining the whole thing. And Sev's the kind of guy who would never admit to suffering a broken heart.
Hmmm....but this Hogwarts relationship does give Sevvy a one-up on ol' Lucius to use later, knowing his wife used to love another.... I can't wait to read more! 10/10 as always
Author's Response: Hello! Good to see you back! I'm glad you enjoyed spotting Narcissa creating an awkward situation.
As for Lucius, well, 'hmmm' indeed!
I almost never do reviews, but this story is truly exceptional and is now one of my favorites. What particularly grabs me about this story is its close adherence to canon and the plausible filling-in of the gaps in our knowledge about Severus Snape, one of the most enigmatic characters. What really grabbed me in this chapter was Severus' near-tenderness portrayed so believably. I look forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Wow! Then two thank yous for the review! I'm relieved to hear that a tender (at least momentarily) Snape could work for you -- it felt like a real risk, but also like something the character at that point would have done.

Check out this group of sex symbols you would have never seen coming!
Check out this group of sex symbols you would have never seen coming!
#10. Lil Wayne
Face tattoos are pretty stupid unless you've just lost your mind like Gucci Mane--only then do they serve a purpose (to prove that you're crazy).Photo Credit: Photo by Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images
It is pretty baffling that a 5'6" rapper with face tattoos is undeniably sexy, though he does wear fresh Vans. It might be his swag or that gravelly voice, or maybe it's just the ridiculously vulgar way he raps about sexin' you.
All I can say is that when Weezy was freed from Riker's Island, ladies everywhere released a collective sigh of relief in knowing that Wayne was back to the business of being one of our favorite sex symbols.
#9. Will Arnett
#9. Though our most distinct memories of Will Arnett involve him riding around on a Segway while wearing loose-fit white dress pants and man-dals, even that has the potential to be sexy for this guy.Photo Credit: IFC
He's balding and has kind of creepy eyes, but every word that comes out of his mouth (maybe by the sheer register of his voice), is hilarious. He's by no means conventionally attractive, nor are any of the characters he plays. He's just so hysterical that it makes him sexy.
And we aren't the only ones who think it, obviously. After all, he bagged Amy Poehler. COME on.
#8. Jesse Eisenberg
#8. Do you remember the kid in high school who was always sort of timid and weird, and when you tried to talk to him about how to design your pop-punk band's website, he would flinch as if he'd never spoken to a human before?Photo Credit: GettyImages
That guy turned into Jesse Eisenberg. Neurotic, nervous, and skittish, Jesse would seem like a sex symbol nightmare. But casting him as the only person in the world we could imagine having worse anxiety was a strategic move.
All of a sudden, Jesse Zucker-Eisenberg was desirable- even with Justin Timberlake as his costar, we lusted after the brooding weirdo. Yeah, he's still horrible at award show speeches and he comes off as a total neurotic in interviews, but the nerd prototype is finally having his day.
And his beautiful blue eyes definitely don't hurt the cause.
#7. Kristen Wiig
#7. Much like rock stars, there is an assumption that comedians, despite their looks, are seen as verifiable foxes. There is just something about their charisma that elevates them to ultimate attractiveness.Photo Credit: 2009 Sundance Film Festival - Myspace Cafe
For Kristen Wiig, this path wasn't easy. Her days on SNL, as amazing and hilarious as they have been, have so far put her in some wildly unsexy costumes and characters. The woman with one tiny hand and a massive forehead? No, thanks.
Gilly, the insane and unpredictable little girl who torments her classmates in an unflattering 70s child's dress? Nope. Kristen was wooing us with her humor, but not really with much else. And then there was Bridesmaids!
Finally, we got to see her face . . . and her body . . . and her amazing comedy writing skills. She rocketed from ''that girl who is always dressed like a nutjob'' to ''that girl that I need to find a way to sleep with.''
Strangely enough, even those freakish SNL characters she plays are starting to look a little more appealing. Is that weird?
#6. Phillip Seymour Hoffman
#6. A little-remembered role for Phillip Seymour Hoffman was when he played an overactive and overeager storm chaser in TWISTER. He wore low-buttoned Hawaiian shirts and stupid sunglasses. He also had an undesirable and unattractive role in THE BIG LEBOWSKI as the real Lebowski's subservient assistant.Photo Credit: GettyImages
PSH has played some pretty ridiculous- and mostly ugly- roles, but his sex appeal is omnipresent. He just seems so cool, like he doesn't give a shit about anything at all and he's going to continue being a round, scruffy blond dude with a devastating smirk whether you're into it or not.
Women love that aloof manner and if you combine that with absolutely killer acting skills, he's quite the dreamboat. Men everywhere cringe in disbelief.
#5. Bill Murray
#5. Many things get better with age: wine, your 401k, Bill Murray. I don't even give a damn about GROUNDHOG DAY Bill or GHOSTBUSTERS Bill,I just want sad sack, frown-faced Bill of BROKEN FLOWERS.
He's the depressing dad character that you know has a whole host of good jokes deep inside him, which he'll show you once he's put back a few whiskeys. What is hilarious to me is that back in the 80s, Murray was actually supposed to be a sex symbol.
His pseudo-feathered mullet and one-eyebrow-raised smirk are no matches for that sardonic, sour face that seems so knowing and wise. Though it seems improbable for his sex appeal to escalate with age, his allure lies all in those sulky eyes and dry intellect.
No one can ever get enough of it, no matter how old he is.
#4. Rachel Maddow
#4. Sex and allure are key elements to being in politics. The number of scandals, love children, and raunchy affairs within our good ole government is hard to keep track of, for better or for worse.Photo Credit: Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images
Unfortunately, the people who are often reporting on these controversies are not much to shake a stick at and even worse, can be impossibly boring to listen to or watch. Rachel Maddow came in and changed that for all of us. Those glasses! That smile!
That wonderful and lovely sense of humor! She is in a class of her own when it comes to political commentators. With all the charm that Maddow possesses, it doesn't matter what party you support, you'll want to watch her anyway.
#3. Jack White
#3. Most of us would say that the title of ''rock star'' immediately grants one a lifetime pass to universal attraction. And yes, it's worked in the past with some rock stars that really needed the guitar to draw attention away from their other parts. (I won't name names, but Keith Richards.)Photo Credit: Photo by Ebet Roberts/Redferns
The nature of the world generally names musicians as sex symbols despite their looks. Jack White hasn't been so lucky. He's pale, straggly-haired, and looks as though his whole getup was the product of Tim Burton's imagination.
Not to mention, he doesn't seem particularly personable or rock star-ish, just a weirdo with a guitar. But if you've ever heard this guy sing and shred, you'll watch all that weirdness float away. He is sexier than some of the actual sexy rock stars in the world by how truly uninterested he is in anything but guitar.
That standoffish, ''I'm too cool'' attitude is a turn-on and you know it. We always want what we can't have.
#2. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
#2. If you've seen INCEPTION, you'll disagree that there is anything unlikely about Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a sex symbol. His perfect hair and well-tailored suits are a devastating combination. However, it's possible that you've forgotten JGL's earlier days, when his looks weren't as kind to him.Photo Credit: GettyImages
As his character Tommy Solomon on 3rd Rock from the Sun, he was about as dorky as they come with that long, unwashed hair and those awful 90s clothes. No one could have predicted- like, literally no one- that in ten years time, he would have cut the hair to reveal a gorgeous face and charming smile.
It's as if he spent early 2000 in hidden transformation, all in order to make him the sexpot that he's now become. Welcome to the world of sex symbols, Joseph. Don't take this responsibility lightly.
#1. Tina Fey
#1. Writer girls, rejoice! It is no longer considered a turnoff to like books, writing, and intelligent conversation, and it's all thanks to Tina Fey. As a writer and anchor for Weekend Update on SNL, Tina has been in the spotlight for years, but with not quite as much sex appeal as when she began 30 Rock.Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison / Getty Images
Her unintentional sexy librarian look had already gotten our attention when she sat at SNL's news desk, but was blown to critical mass when we got to see our girl at her best: bro-ing down with Alec Baldwin, trying to rein in Tracy Morgan, and knowing that doughnuts take precedence over them all.
She may have the typical nerd girl look with her glasses and ill-fitting clothes, but damn, have you ever seen this woman on the red carpet? It's Peter Parker to Superman level. Combine that with sharp wit and a title of ''Boss'' and you have a top candidate for the nerd that we are all turned on by.

Nicole Herkert has been a three-year starter for the Oshkosh North girls basketball team and is currently the second-leading scorer for the Spartans.
- Filed Under
It was November 30, 2010, and Nicole Herkert had just played her first varsity game for the Oshkosh North Spartans.
In the annals of the program it will go down as a 42-35 win at the North Fieldhouse - a victory that snapped a 64-game losing streak for the Spartans. To Herkert, though, it was the launching point. The moment when what had been a floundering program was reborn.
And Herkert, currently a senior with on the Spartans' squad, was proud to play a role in it. ...

Picture: Kerry Washington ABC/Disney International Upfronts held at Walt Disney Studios Lot Burbank, California - 20.05.12
Actress Kerry Washington thanked Shonda Rhimes for her "dream job" on hit drama Scandal as she presented the TV screenwriter with the top honour at the Glaad Media Awards on Saturday (03Jun12).
The writer/director was the big winner at the 23rd annual Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (Glaad) prizegiving, taking home the Golden Gate Award for "her contributions to Lgbt visibility" as well as a trophy for her medical series Grey's Anatomy.
Washington stepped onstage at the event to heap praise on her TV boss, and revealed she embarked on "the greatest, most wonderful ride of my career" when she was cast in Rhimes' new political thriller Scandal.
She told the crowd, "I'd actually never met Shonda Rhimes before I went in to meet with her for the role of Olivia Pope in ABC's Scandal. When I got off the elevator at Shonda's office, I saw a huge sign that said Shonda Land and I thought, 'Whoa! I don't know if this is gonna work out!' To witness the vast world that Shonda has created was intimidating...
"Throughout my career, people have asked me what my dream job would be and today I have it... I'm not sure that I will ever come up with a better boss. Working in Shonda Land makes me feel like the luckiest broad in showbiz."
The San Francisco, California ceremony was the third held in 2012 following celebrations in New York and Los Angeles earlier this year (12).
The Glaad Media Awards recognise and honour media members for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that affect their lives.

Pancratistatin induces apoptosis in clinical leukemia samples with minimal effect on non-cancerous peripheral blood mononuclear cells
1 Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON Canada
2 Windsor Regional Cancer Center, Windsor, ON Canada
3 Department of Chemistry, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON Canada
Cancer Cell International 2010, 10:6 doi:10.1186/1475-2867-10-6Published: 6 March 2010
Pancratistatin, a natural compound extracted from Hymenocallis littoralis, can selectively induce apoptosis in several cancer cell lines. In this ex vivo study, we evaluated the effect of pancratistatin on peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 15 leukemia patients prior to clinical intervention of newly diagnosed patients, as well as others of different ages in relapse and at various disease progression states.
Mononuclear cells from healthy volunteers and leukemia patients were exposed to 1 μM pancratistatin for up to 48 h. Irrespective of leukemia type, pancratistatin induced apoptosis in the leukemic samples, with minimal effects on non-cancerous peripheral blood mononuclear control cells.
Our results show that pancratistatin is an effective and selective anti-cancer agent with potential for advancement to clinical trials.

Deciding vote on Sirius XM leans in favor of deal
updated 04:35 pm EDT, Thu July 17, 2008
FCC Leans To Sirius XM
A crucial voter in the long-delayed Sirius/XM merger vote is leaning in favor of approving the deal, says the AP. FCC Commissioner and Democrat Party member Jonathan Adelstein says he would vote in favor of the deal as long as the unified satellite radio entity would agree to a six-year cap on subscription rates as well as devoting a full 25 percent of all channels to public or minority-focused stations.
Top executives from either firm have yet to respond to these requests and so far have proposed only ligher concessions, including setting aside just eight percent of the channels and no definite timetable for any potential price freeze.
An Adelstein vote is essential to the fate of the merger, which would leave just one satellite radio provider in the US and has earned stiff opposition from both two other FCC Commissioners as well as the National Association of Broadcasting, which represents terrestrial radio and contends a Sirius/XM deal would constitute a monopoly rather than simply another competitor in radio.

It's possible that the DECA adapter has died. But you can indeed connect the HR34 Genie HD DVR directly to your home network via its ethernet port. The Genie DVRs can act as the "Cinema Connection Kit" to provide internet access for your Whole Home DVRs/Receivers. So try connecting the HR34 directly to your home network. Then reset the HR34 (red button behind front panel access card door).

So you want to get started developing JSP applications. FIGURE 1-1 shows what is perhaps the simplest JSP application one could write. CODE EXAMPLE 1-1 and CODE EXAMPLE 1-2 list its code.
Duke Says Hello
The Duke Banner (dukebanner.html)

The JSP Page (helloworld.jsp)
<%@ page info="a hello world example" %>  <title>Hello, World</title>  <%@ include file="dukebanner.html" %>

Hello, World!

The Page Directive
The page directive is a JSP tag that you will use in almost every JSP source file you write. In helloworld.jsp, it's the line that looks like this:<%@ page info="a hello world example" %>
The page directive gives instructions to the JSP engine that apply to the entire JSP source file. In this example, page specifies an informative comment that will become part of the compiled JSP file. In other cases, page might specify the scripting language used in the JSP source file, packages the source file would import, or the error page called if an error or exception occurs.
You can use the page directive anywhere in the JSP file, but it's good coding style to place it at the top of the file. Because it's a JSP tag, you can even place it before the opening  tag.
The Include Directive
The include directive inserts the contents of another file in the main JSP file, where the directive is located. It's useful for including copyright information, scripting language files, or anything you might want to reuse in other applications. In this example, the included file is an HTML table that creates a graphic banner.
You can see the content of the included file by viewing the page source of the main JSP file while you are running Hello, World. The included file does not contain  or  tags, because these tags would conflict with the same tags in the calling JSP file.
A Note About the JSP Tags
As you use the examples in this chapter, remember that the JSP tags are case sensitive. If, for example, you type <jsp:usebean> instead of <jsp:useBean>, your tag will not be recognized, and the JSP 1.0 reference implementation will throw an exception. Some of the attributes on the tags take class names, package names, pathnames or other case-sensitive values as well.
If you have any doubts about the correct spelling or syntax of any JSP tag, see the JavaServer Pages Syntax Card.
How To Run the Example
The instructions given here use a UNIX-style pathname. If you are working on Windows, use the same pathname with the proper separator.
Create the directory (or folder) ../jswdk-1.0/examples/jsp/tutorial/helloworld.
Place the following files in the ../tutorial/hello directory (or folder): background.gif, duke.waving.gif, dukebanner.html, and helloworld.jsp.
From the command line, start the Sun JSP reference implementation:
cd ../jswdk-1.0

Valentines's Day inspiration in HERE!
January 21, 2014 by Core'dinator
Filed under Core Blog, May Arts Ribbon
I would like to share a Wedding Layout with you to celebrate February the month of Sweetheart Valentines.
I choose the Core Amour Whitewash cardstock to showcase how quickly pre-embossed collections from Core'dinations can have a layout completed with a great textured presentation.
Gina K Stamps has a cute set of stamps which celebrates Valentine's Day and I thought this vintage phone complements the vintage feel of the Core'dinations Vintage collection.
I stamped the image using WOW embossing powder to gloss up the image to support the quality of the vintage Core'dinations cardstock. The pre-embossed vintage Core'dinations cardstock makes this card full with dimension after sanding to reveal the inner colored core.

Kate Fansler
Kate Fansler is the main character in a series of fourteen mystery novels written by Carolyn Gold Heilbrun from 1964-2002, under the pseudonym Amanda Cross. Like Heilbrun, Fansler was a literature professor at a prestigious New York university. In the books, she is called upon to solve mysteries set in an academic context, usually involving the murder of a professor or student. Her work is accomplished through conversation with the people involved, rather than through the physically adventurous antics preferred by other fictional detectives. Midway through the series, she married her partner, district attorney Reed Amhearst, but as she tells another character in A Trap For Fools, she "neither uses his name nor wears his ring". Echoing Heilbrun's personal views, she has little sentimental attachment to children, enjoys smoking, drinking, and fatty food, and in later books such as Sweet Death, Kind Death, meditates on the nature of middle age and on the liberating nature of death.

In Memoriam The Rev'd Alan Chaffee W81
Wycliffe College Mourns the Loss of The Rev'd Alan Chaffee W81
Alan is remembered fondly by his former classmate, Brian Forbes Colgate:
"Alan came to Wycliffe after a full career in the business world, and as one who had already made his way in a successful career, he provided a calm stability amongst his large number of classmates. The fall of 1978 brought a very large freshman class and I'm not sure the College really knew what to do with all of us! I have been blessed to have remained in touch with Al and Wynne over the 36 years since we first met."

An important piece of the puzzle was missing
My latest rant/criticism is directed at the major media outlets in the Roanoke area. It has to do with the coverage of Colin Goddard. He is a survivor of the Virginia Tech shootings. He was in Blacksburg this week showing his documentary called "Living for 32."
Part of the documentary shares his experiences of being shot four times and his road to recovery. The documentary also follows his crusade for stricter gun laws. Goddard used hidden cameras to show how easy it is to buy guns at a gun show without a background check.
Here's what was missing from all the coverage that I saw and read. We failed to point out that the Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho didn't actually buy his gun at a gun show. He bought it legally from a gun shop in Roanoke. When I brought this up in our editorial meeting, one of my colleagues questioned whether we need to say that everytime we do a story about gun control and the Virginia Tech shootings. He feels it sounds repetitive and thinks most people already know that Cho didnt buy a gun at the gun show. I disagree. Most of the students currently at Virginia Tech weren't there during the shootings and maybe unfamiliar with some of the details from that day.
The news media often receives criticism that we are a bunch of liberals who hate guns and want stricter gun control. I am not sure that is true and quite frankly I don't think I could change your mind if you feel that way. However, I can see why gun advocates/gun owners feel that we are unfair when we fail to mention that Cho didn't buy his gun at a gun show. I am not saying the reporters who worked on this story are gun control advocates and purposely left it out. I am just saying that piece of information needed to be in there and for that reason we made a mistake.

|with, Howard W. Weinbrot, and Stephen E. Karian, editors, Eighteenth-Century
Contexts: Historical Inquiries in Honor of Phillip Harth (2001).
Conceived to honor Phillip Harth, the Merritt Y. Hughes Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, this book collects fifteen essays by internationally distinguished contributors. The essays consider literary, intellectual, political, theological, and cultural aspects of the years 1650-1800 in the British Isles and Europe. At the center of the book is Jonathan Swift, but authors such as Congreve, Pope, Richardson, and Boswell. The volume includes an essay by Professor Schakel, "Swift's Voices: Innovation and Complication in the Poems Written at Market Hill."
|with Jack Ridl, Approaching Poetry: Perspectives and Responses (1997).
Approaching Poetry is a textbook organized around two premises: First, an introduction to poetry needs to alleviate the fear with which many students approach poetry. It meets that need by its empathetic tone, its clear and careful explanations of technical material, and the reader-oriented approach which undergirds it. Second, introductions to poetry cannot be theory-free. Approaching Poetry begins, therefore, by explaining its underlying assumptions directly; it blends theoretical considerations into its introduction to the elements of poetry; and it offers alternative perspectives from which to approach and engage with a poem.
|with Charles A. Huttar, The Rhetoric of Vision: Essays on Charles
Williams (1996).
In this collection of essays, nineteen scholars examine the rhetorical means that English author Charles Williams (1886-1945) employed to convey his metaphysical, ethical, and social vision, and the rhetorical theories that guided him. About half of the essays consider Williams's fiction; the others discuss his poetry, plays, historical and theological writings, and literary criticism. The volume was awarded the 1997 Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies by the Mythopoeic Society.
|Critical Approaches to Teaching Swift (1992).
This collection of essays offers help in teaching one of the most challenging of eighteenth-century British authors, Jonathan Swift. The book opens with a survey, by Professor Schakel, of approaches taken in Swift criticism of the twentieth century. The twenty essays that follow explore Swift's methods and themes from a wide diversity of critical and theoretical perspectives: historical, formalistic, generic, rhetorical, feminist, reader-response, poststructuralist, and pedagogical. Behind the book lie the assumptions that teachers should be self-conscious about the critical approach or approaches they inevitably employ, and that the "conversation" between different approaches enriches understanding of both Swift and his works.
|with Charles A. Huttar, editors, Word and Story in C. S. Lewis (1991).
The sixteen essays in this collection examine Lewis's ideas about language and narrative, demonstrating that awareness of his theories is essential to an understanding and appreciation of his works. Contributors examine works that had at the time received little attention, such as his poetry, The Dark Tower, and Studies in Words, as well as familiar works such as the Narnia Stories, the Ransom trilogy, Surprised by Joy, and The Allegory of Love. The collection includes an introduction by Professor Schakel and an essay by Professor Huttar, "A Lifelong Love Affair with Language: C. S. Lewis's Poetry." Awarded the 1992 Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies by the Mythopoeic Society.
|Reason and Imagination in C. S. Lewis: A Study of "Till We Have
Faces" (1984).
The first half of this book is a close analysis of C. S. Lewis's most difficult work of fiction, Till We Haves Faces (1956). It leads the reader through the plot, clarifying themes as it discusses structure, symbols, and allusions. The second half places TWHF in context by surveying Lewis's works, tracing the tension between reason and imagination. Awarded the 1985 Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies by the Mythopoeic Society. The first half is on line at Reason and Imagination.
|Reading with the Heart: The Way into Narnia (1979).
Reading with the Heart is a literary/critical study of C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. It explores the archetypal structure, characters, and symbols Lewis used to develop the universal themes and motifs of the books, and the Christian significance he wove into the stories, particularly through echoes of and allusions to his well-known book Mere Christianity. The book is available on-line.
|The Poetry of Jonathan Swift: Allusion and the Development of a Poetic
Style (1978).
This book examines Swift's use of classical and contemporary allusions and shows how he uses allusions to clarify or reinforce their themes and to establish or strengthen their tones. The book traces Swift's development as a poetic craftsman from the early odes, where allusions are scattered and decorative, through the early verse satires and classical imitations, where Swift learned that conventions borrowed from others could free him to give attention to descriptive and satiric detail, to the later satires, where such borrowings become integral to the poems, unifying structure, tone, and theme.

ZGame (prounounced ZED GAME) is an Action RPG. Released in episodes, each episode taking place in a different city or town. Currently there is 3 episodes planned. Hopefully with more released in the future. Partly inspired by Project Zomboid!
Today we will talk about the fall of ZGame one year on. We will look at the rise and rather fast fall. We will showcase what the team has been working on and the future.
Posted by Dotdroid on Jan 9th, 2013
So it has been about a year since ZGame was cancelled. I started working on the project in the late months of twenty-eleven. Everything at first was going great I achieved a perfect art style inspired by the sprites of the original Final Fantasy on the Nintendo Entertainment System / Famicom. I loved the look and I was quite impressed with myself considering this was my first entry into the indie game market. Every game I have been working on since ZGame has looked awful even though I use an ever better photo editor (Paint.NET by the way, it is free and good) and back then I used MSPaint which alot of people hate.
The original plan was for three episodes each one with a new setting in each episode. The first episode was to be set in a rural American town, the second was to be a fancy city based on Los Angeles and the third another city based on New York. In the first episode you play a detective with a crummy life a bit like Max Payne, two you were a famous actress who was brave enough to fight the undead and three you were the most unlikely of heroes an indie game developer.
Now in the description I said something ironic I said '(A side note the third episode will come out, we are not Valve :D)' what a stupid thing to say. Atleast Valve released Episode 1!
Now after a long time of thinking I thought one day I am going to come back to this project and hopefully I will get it done.
Now me and Tom are still developing games. Tom's main project at the moment is working on Epsilon Pangaea and I have been working on a 2D platformer. So that is the end of ZGame.

The Ysleta High School drum corps -- a tradition for 77 years -- will continue to march to its own beat, despite rumors the group was merging with the band.
Changes in the administration at Ysleta High School raised fears that the drum corps would be merged with the band, Principal Silvia Rendon said.
Rendon, a former assistant principal at Riverside High School, took the helm at Ysleta this fall. In addition, a new band director, Andres Rodriguez, is leading the girls and some of the drum corps members joined the marching band's drum line, Rendon said.
Leticia Delgado, a parent booster for the band and drum corps, said she began to grow worried that the drum corps was merging with the band when she saw the drum corps benched during a football game against Riverside High School on Sept. 20.
"The drum corps had always played before the band," Delgado said. "And they were benched. We were also told that the drum corps would compete with the band, but that they would have to wear the band uniforms and not their own uniforms."
Rendon said that the drum corps did play, but because of University Interscholastic League rules, they had a limited time on the field, so the band, drum corps, and dancers had to all go on at once and perform.
"In regards to the uniforms, I don't know about that," Rendon said. "But I do know that in the past, after doing a little bit of research, the two did used to perform and compete together because of the small number in both groups."
Rodriguez, director of the band and drum corps, said that rumors that the drum corps was merging with the band or being disbanded were just rumors.
"That is a false rumor," Rodriguez said. "We had a meeting with the principal and the administration to address those rumors and they are simply that -- rumors. Our band and our drum corps are still separate entities. They are working together at times, but they are separate."
The beating of the drums by the drum corps has been a tradition at the high school for more than 77 years.
"When I used to play football, the drum corps would be playing as we ran out onto the filed, and it would go on throughout the game," said Ed De Reyes, a graduate of the school. "It was a great motivator. They have been a long-standing tradition at the high school."
In 1936, Louise Bolton, head of the music program at Ysleta, formed the drum corps.
At the time, the corps was made up of about five girls, who provided the high school's small band with cadence and with enough students to perform during the football games' halftime shows.
Since then, the band and the drum corps have remained separate.
At first, the drum corps was only open to girls, but later the corps became coed. It now has more than 20 members.
Rendon stressed that the band would continue to remain separate and that she wants to continue the traditions at Ysleta High School and revamp old ones that have faded -- one of which is having the drum corps wear the Indian headdress, which was once worn by group.
"At one time, the band and the drum corps were more than 250 strong," Rendon said. "That was sometime back in the '80s. And today, our numbers have shrunk. I want to get it back to those high numbers. So I'm working with our area principals and asking them to bring their students (middle and elementary schools) here so that they want to join and be an Indian and be in the band or the drum corps."
Rendon added that she would also like to start a new tradition at the school, called Meet the Indians. The first is scheduled for Oct. 30, in which the drum corps and band would perform while students involved in sports and other extracurricular activities meet students from middle and elementary schools in the area's feeder pattern.

The Latino Connection to the Bowen Meltdown
MAILANDER MUSINGS - No matter what happens it was convincing: it didn't happen for her. I don't like progressive Debra Bowen's chances at all going forward in CA 36, even if she is lawyering up. And she is lawyering up: "Contribute now to help Debra Bowen fight for every vote ..." [link]
- 20 May 2011
- Written by Joseph Mailander
While the unseemly Bowen meltdown continues to resonate throughout the State's progressive ranks, the broader concern of Los Angeles Democratic politicos Tuesday morning is that Janice Hahn also drastically underperformed expectations. Nonetheless , the calamitous Bowen meltdown is the hot topic of the day.
Insiders had this race at 40 Hahn, and 25 Bowen, with unknowns Mike Gin and Craig Huey scrambling for the Republican 30% of the vote, with Gin on top--leaving poverina progressive Marcia Winograd with about 5%.
And indeed Winograd did fetch 5% of the vote--or she would have, had 30% of the voters come to the voting booths on Tuesday to elect a Congresswoman, rather than 17.
Voters did not turn out in numbers expected of a Congressional race--and that also spelled trouble for one of the top names in the State, Bowen's. It also spells coming trouble for the woman who proved to be the top name in the District after all--even if she wasn't enough of a top name to secure even one quarter of the voters on this day--Janice Hahn.
My read follows.
Janice Hahn, who has great name recognition in the district, chose a couple of top-flight local pros as her top campaign managers. Debra Bowen, who has good name recognition throughout California, chose two people associated with a third-tier group, the National Latino Congreso--to help her.
The Congreso for some reason made Harman flinch last year, but it has otherwise been fairly docile, and even unknown in the 36th.
It's really not much of a group at all, in fact; the organization with the unrepentantly Spanish-language moniker is largely a luncheon group that invites pols to sing their Latino bona fides to it.
(How do you know when you're not much of a political group at all? For starters, when something written by publicist Ed Headington comes up as one of four footnotes on your group's wikipedia page.) [link]
When Bowen chose humble but firey community organizer Daniel Chavez to head her campaign, Chavez thereupon immediately went to Luis Vizcaino, a longtime Latino communications figure, as his communications consultant. These selections were likely a very rough mix for an open primary in the 36th, where beach city Anglos vote in far greater numbers than Latinos.
In fact, Harman's success in the district as a Blue Dog likely owed in part to her circumspect track record on immigration--which she even found herself apologizing for last year, [link] to the very group that turned up so well-represented on Bowen's campaign, the very group that had denounced Harman as "anti-immigrant."
The 36th is far too beachy and Anglo for such true-believer staffing to work very effectively there.
That was how even a Christian fundie Republican was able to garner more votes than Debra Bowen in this District.
It's important to remember that Hahn underperformed dramatically too. But Bowen underperformed super-dramatically.
Going forward, Janice Hahn picking up Debra Bowen's handful of tortured votes is no picnic. Bowen's Latino voters may gleefully switch over to Hahn. But Bowen's Anglo voters are confused, irate, indignant as to why their candidate not only finished second but lost outright, and to such a political nonentity as Huey. They are only now beginning to realize that Bowen's absurd choices for her political team made this bed for them.
Northern Californians (like Debra Bowen these days?) may like to look at SoCal as one giant juggernaut of bilingual schools and taco stands, but there are indeed many Anglo bastions in it. One such is Jane Harman's old district, in which an unknown, Anglo, Republican, Tea Partying, fundamentalist Christian is likely to outpoll the far more widely recognized, State-level progressive Dem, Debra Bowen.
But with the kind of choices Bowen made in staffing her campaign, we're not surprised at this outcome at all. With eastside-styled activist Latinos waging an eastside-styled battle on the Westside, the tail was indeed wagging the dog in the beachy, Anglo 36th.
Incidentally, Brad Smith at Bradblog has an entertaining piece on the irony of Bowen putting her own op-scan voting system, which she championed, to the test in her own race. But you already know that irony, once it has a foot in the door, it kicks it in every time.
No matter how you slice it, it doesn't look pretty for Debra Bowen.

By Chris Casey | University CommunicationsAURORA, Colo. - Obesity rates continue to climb because individuals and society haven't yet been given a good enough reason to reverse the trend.
That was one of the key messages delivered by John C. Peters, PhD, chief strategy officer and associate professor of medicine at the Colorado Center for Health and Wellness, at a presentation today. About 75 people attended his talk "The Skinny on Obesity Prevention" on the Anschutz Medical Campus.
"We're going to have to figure out a way as a society to be accountable for changing" the behaviors that contribute to obesity, Peters said.
Helping people to realize that obesity in society has a personal consequence on them - much like second-hand smoke does - will be a critical step toward addressing the problem, according to Peters.
Colorado ranks as the skinniest state, having the lowest obesity rate nationwide, but children in the state rank in the middle of the pack, Peters said. Overall, obesity rates in the state are increasing, so "we're catching up."
"We must move away from linear, proximate solutions," he said. "With this kind of problem, we have to look at it a little differently."
Likewise, the Colorado Center for Health and Wellness will encourage a trans-disciplinary approach that reaches beyond the health sector to meet its goal of being the epicenter of a big change in American health, Peters said.
The center, which will open in April, is purposely designed to have "collision space" for people of different disciplines to meet and share ideas. "We plan to bring in people from far-flung disciplines, injecting new ideas into what we do," Peters said. "That collision space will involve people who are experts in these areas as well as people who have ideas that are way outside the box."
In addition to being a state-of-the-art fitness facility, the center aims to be the nation's first completely integrated weight management, nutrition and health research center, he said.
The center will be a hub of vitality, connecting the elements of health - education, clinical work, nutrition, research and wellness - with new ways of advancing healthier living.
"The program is so much more than the building," Peters said. "It's about creating a new thinking space. We want to be a center for new thinking."

Is your roof panel removeable? Otherwise, if it's built like my Fiero, it's got a metal substructure under the fiberglass. Fiberglass isn't very condusive to surviving rollovers.Originally Posted by dug1967
I'm not sure about Carbon fibre either, I think since it's density is closer to metal than fiberglass, it might act the same way.
Only one way to find out.
Don't most people mount them on the dash or rear deck? How's reception mounted by the window? Does it need a clear line of sight?

There are plenty of pages on the site about the benefits of RPGs in learning and teaching – plus links to a certain amount of related research. However, these benefits are mainly set out in the language of active learning, gamification and/ or design gaming. Within all that, design games, (i.e. games focused on involving players in co-designing the gameplay within a collaborative production framework), appear to easily incubate a subset of design, business and e-commerce skills – which can be defined, in more commercial language, as enterprise or business skills.
Design games, including many tabletop RPGs, some videogame RPGs, collaborative boardgames, deck builders, . . . are all open to supporting the development of enterprise/ business skills through game play, game development and an extraordinary range of low- or zero-cost, no-risk, commerce activities. These tangible, engaging and accessible business options range through e-publishing, app building, merchandising, writing, concept art, web design, blogging, 3D print design, film-making, animation, social media marketing and business administration . . .
Here's an extract from a recent chat about this with . . . librarians:
imo free access to legal, family-friendly versions of the most popular tabletop RPG 'family' through libraries is long overdue and, after the best part of 40 years, it seemed safe to assume the known names weren't in any rush.
. . . how we can adapt libraries into social, learning and, critically, enterprise gateways – ideally, to prevent finance officers sticking book QR codes in the windows of closed/ former libraries after sending all the librarians home.
Event-driven services are already developing, but there are alternatives to libraries for much of that; plus private and public competition. Libraries need a killer app – and, gamifying and incubating e-commerce, through design games, e.g. straightforward RPGs, serious gaming, ARGs, deck builders and collaborative boardgames, looks the best option around.

Utah's altitude provides another challenge
College Football Videos
Pitt prides itself on being one of the fittest programs in Division I football.
All of those wind sprints could pay off Thursday.
The No. 15 Panthers will have to contend with the thin air of Salt Lake City when they travel to play Utah at 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Rice-Eccles Stadium in the 2010 opener.
The stadium sits 4,657 feet above sea level, which is high enough that the body feels the effects of altitude. Only six stadiums in Division I football sit at a higher elevation than the 45,017-seat venue.
Effects at high elevation - where air density diminishes -- include faster heartbeats, inefficient digestion of food and an overall reduction of work capacity. The built-in home field advantage perhaps is one reason why Utah has won 17 games in a row at home.
Pitt plays its home games about 750 feet above sea level. The second-most elevated stadium they visit this season is Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, which is a mere 751 feet about sea level.
Senior tackle Jason Pinkston said Pitt's conditioning program under strength coach Buddy Morris will have them prepared.
"This is probably one of the hardest summers we've had," Pinkston said. "We will be fine, as far as being in shape."
Pitt fullback Henry Hynoski thinks the effect of thin air on athletes is overrated.
"It's more in people's heads than anything else," he said. "We're just going to go up there and play football. We are probably one of the most conditioned teams in the country. We are in such good shape. We are in the best shape we can be, so I really don't think the elevation is going to be an issue."
For sure, high elevation has an impact on the body. At Invesco Field in Denver, for example, there is 17 percent less oxygen available. While the percent of oxygen in the air is 21 percent at all altitudes because there is less air pressure, a person must breath more to receive the same oxygen.
Some NFL teams try to prepare themselves for Denver by arriving a day earlier than normal. Studies show it takes about four days to acclimatize to an elevation of about 5,000 feet. Pitt, as it always does, will arrive one day before the game, on Wednesday.
When he visited the Mile High City as an NFL coach, Wannstedt said he never believed in the theory of arriving a day early. He was an assistant or head coach in five games in Denver, including one preseason game. His teams, the Cowboys, Bears and Dolphins, went 3-2.
"Every place I've coached for 16 years, we went out the day before, lined up and played," he said. "That extra day that some NFL teams do, it doesn't do anything. You go out and you line up and you play."
Wannstedt said the Panthers don't use preparation different from any other road game. There are oxygen tanks on the sideline. Because there isn't much an athlete can do to counteract the effects of thin air, the most important factor can be team depth. If someone gets weary, especially at running back and defensive line, they can take a rest.
"Fortunately we are fairly healthy," he said, "so we will be able to play guys."
Wannstedt's remarks
On reducing Tino Sunseri's pressure:
"I really wanted to make the point to him that he is one of 11 players on offense. Does he have to make plays• Sure he does. But Lucas Nix needs to make blocks, (Jon) Baldwin needs to make catches, Dion (Lewis) needs to make runs. I want Tino to feel that there is no more of a burden on his shoulders than any other player on offense."
On responding to adversity:
"There is nothing like when you are out there on your own and the lights are on and you get hit in the mouth. Everybody's got a plan until you get in the ring and get hit in the mouth. Then you see how good your plan is."
On first-year starter Alex Karabin making calls at center:
"That's not keeping me awake at night. He's as smart a player as we got on our team. As far as identifying things and making calls, he's really good. That's probably what gives him a little bit of an edge, to be quite honest with you."
On Utah game in the scope of the season
"The focus has been on Utah. Our guys understand when you are on national TV playing a ranked team, your focus has to be there. We've got to have that sense of urgency."Additional Information:

Green Buildings & Sites
The North Carolina Arboretum's Operations Center provides workspace for grounds, gardens, landscape, maintenance, and IT staff members and volunteers. Work areas include: an automotive, electrical and carpentry shop; research library; laboratory; loading dock; and shipping and receiving area. Outside the building, there is a vehicle washing station, a bulk storage and soil mixing area, and a pesticide mixing building. A 5,160 square-foot steel structure adjacent to the facility provides additional storage space for vehicles and equipment.
The Arboretum's Operations Center follows guidelines adapted from the U.S. Green Building Council which require the facility to meet criteria for innovative design, energy efficiency, and environmentally responsible practices. Rather than relying on high-tech materials, the Operations Center uses standard building components innovatively. Over time, the facility will save the Arboretum energy, water and money, which which is translating into savings for North Carolina taxpayers. Furthermore, the staff finds the building a healthy and productive place to work because of the space design and day-lighting features.
Operation Center environmental high performance features:
- A cistern for collection of rainwater runoff reduces the demand on new water usage.
- Solar panels on the roof preheat water before it enters the water heater, reducing heating costs.
- North facing, operable, clerestory windows in both office and workshop areas provide natural airflow, called the chimney effect, reducing the need for cooling. They also provide natural daylight for workers inside, reducing the use of artificial lighting.
- The workshop area utilizes natural air circulation rather than air-conditioning. "Air curtains" at interior doorways of all the workshop areas produce a blast of air, providing extra insulation and protecting interior air quality.
- A geothermal heat pump cycles water through a series of nine, 380-foot deep underground wells keeping the water for the building's heating and cooling system close to a constant temperature of 55 degrees. This will save money throughout the year by eliminating the need to cool or raise water temperature greatly.
- An oil-water separator filters pollutants from water used to wash vehicles and equipment before the water is recycled for irrigation.
- Lights controlled by photo sensors and timers lessen the usage time.
- Water conservation methods such as two waterless urinals each save 40,000 gallons of water a year.
- Low maintenance and low water consumptive landscape surrounds the facility and includes a combination of native and non- native grasses, perennials, shrubs and trees.
A living "Green Roof" was also installed on the Operations Center to cool the building in the summer and mitigate the harmful effects of storm water runoff. Ways in which a green roof helps reduce impacts to the environment include:
- Cools air temperatures through a process known as transpiration, in which plants release moisture into the air
- Enables the structural roof to last longer by reducing the degree in which the surface temperatures fluctuate
- Insulates the roof thereby reducing heating and cooling needs
- Treats and reduces water runoff by slowing it down and allowing it to evaporate into the air or be absorbed by the plants growing on the roof.
Green roofs are composed of a series of material layers including waterproof and root barrier membranes, filter fabric, lightweight well-drained growing medium and plants. This 3,000 sq ft roof is bordered with limestone gravel to allow access for roof maintenance and to buffer rainwater as it passes through. Plants, such as sedums, grasses and chives, are appropriate for Zone 6 and are low maintenance and able to tolerate vast fluctuations in temperature and water are critical to a successful green roof. This mix of more than 8,000 plants, in a random meadow type planting, provides year-round interest with extended flowering, fall color and some evergreen presence during winter months.
A Permeable Paved Parking Area is located adjacent to the Operations Center using interlocking concrete pavers. This type of paving system allows rain and snowmelt to pass through, thus reducing storm water runoff to local surface waters. Most porous pavements also reduce the pollutant load as the water filters through the system. Permeable pavements are generally placed over a bed of open-graded gravel that acts as a temporary storage reservoir. Geotextile fabric underlies the gravel and keeps it from migrating to the soil below. The amount of gravel storage and possibility of adding perforated drainage pipes are modifications that vary with the specific site design and goals.
Advantages of installing permeable pavement include:
- Treatment of pollutant load
- Less need for curb and gutter
- Better skid resistance and improved safety
- Recharge to local aquifers
- Requires no additional land (good for a densely developed area)

December 1, 2015
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden is skipping a Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh to monitor storm developments as Hurricane Gustav strikes the Louisiana coast.
Biden still plans to travel Monday to Scranton, where he was scheduled to discuss the economy at his childhood home. A Biden aide could not immediately confirm that the event would go on as planned.
Asked about the Bush administration's preparations for Gustav, Biden said, "So far I've been impressed."
Gustav had been downgraded to a Category 2 storm by mid-morning. Hurricane Katrina was a Category 3 storm when it hit the Gulf Coast three years ago, heavily damaging 90,000 square miles of property and costing billions of dollars.
