text: Electric motors are very standardized (I'm assuming its the motor that died, not the fan blade) so I recommend you look for an electric motor shop which could either rebuild or replace the motor for you. Try the yellow pages or do a google search. For example, some years ago I pulled a small motor out of a computer printer and took it to a nearby repair shop. Within 24 hours I had it back and was re-installing it in the printer. It wasn't my job to maintain this equipment, but since I needed the printer to perform my work this was quicker (and much cheaper) than going through the manufacturer's field sevice.

For running skill files, is there any way to run skill files from one location.
currently I have to copy skill file in my working dir and then I load it and then I am able to run it.
actually I want to make aliases for skills which we use frequently, when I make script of loading skill file and asign it in aliases it is not working because it needs to have skill file in the working dir. I dont want to copy skill files in my working dir.
If any one knows please tell me the procedure.
Thanx & Regards
This is indeed possible. I would recommend that you read the readme.txt file in %CDSROOT%\share\local\pcb
Also read the example.ilinit in %CDSROOT%\share\local\pcb\skill
Best regards,
The easiest way of doing this is to take the example.ilinit file from <cdsroot>/share/local/pcb/skill and copy it your <HOME>/pcbenv directory naming it allegro.ilinit. Then take all your Skill files and place them in <HOME>/pcbenv. The next time you start Allegro, it will load all the skill files (.il extension) in the pcbenv directory. This method will work with all tiers of Allegro even L.
If you offer Allegro from a central server then you can do the same thing for all your users by renaming example.ilinit to allegro.ilinit in the <cdsroot>/share/local/pcb/skill directory and placing your skill files in this directory. You can relocate this shared location outside the Cadence hieararchy by reading about CDS_SITE in the documentation. This "local" location will not be updated when loading Cadence patches.
In either case, this assumes your Skill code is function based with axlCmdRegister calls to register the Skills functions as Allegro commands. You can write your skill code non-function based (similar to Allegro scripting). Non-function based skill code executes the skill code (doing database changes and/or UI work) everytime you load the skill file. Non-function based skill code should not be loaded via the allegro.ilinit method.
In reply to fxffxf:
Thanks for your detailed answers. Its working now.
thanks again
Best Regards
In reply to pakistan:
Stumped.....What am I doing wrong?
I have my HOME variable set to C:\Cadence
I have a C:\Cadence\pcbenv folder
I have a allegro.ilinit file in the \pcbenv folder
Here are the contents of the allegro.ilinit file:
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\align_sym.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\autosilkUtils.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\clinecut.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\jbhEditBoard.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\replace_via.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\rm_nc_via.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\scalpel.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\shape_push.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\strip_bad_fillet_props.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\set_refdes.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\cwidth.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\autosize.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\Create_Thermal_Flash.il")
load( "V:\\allegro\\skill\\hl_ntp.il")
; DstCAM350() is the CAM350 Cross Probe Startup
load( "C:\\Cadence\\pcbenv\\DstCxi.il")
all of the skill files are in the mapped network folder V:\allegro\skill
Why isn't this working?
In reply to padmaster:
You got the "wrong" slashes bud, UNIX and other scripting languages go the "other" way, you need to have things like:
Since all the "stuff" is in V:/allegro/skill, you might want to get the allegro.ilinit to autoload from there, that way you can "just" add anothe script to the directory and not hack the allegro.ilinit every time.
In reply to oldmouldy:
hmmm, I actually had this working some number of years ago and many revisions ago. Don't use skill much but I have a need for it now.
Don't remember how/when those \\ got in there or of it worked like that before.
I'll replace the double \\ with a single / and see if it works.
still not working. Here is the allegro.ilinit file after editing....
load( "V:/allegro/skill/autosilkUtils.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/clinecut.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/jbhEditBoard.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/replace_via.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/rm_nc_via.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/scalpel.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/shape_push.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/strip_bad_fillet_props.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/set_refdes.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/cwidth.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/autosize.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/Create_Thermal_Flash.il")
load( "V:/allegro/skill/hl_ntp.il")
load( "C:/Cadence/pcbenv/DstCxi.il")
Is there supposed to be a space after the ( in the load command?
In reply to eDave:
eDaveThe double back-slashes are OK. Try putting your allegro.ilinit file in a skill folder below your pcbenv folder. (C:\Cadence\pcbenv\skill)
I changed the slashes back and moved the allegro.ilinit to C:\Cadence\pcbenv\skill and it still doesn't work :-(
Shouldn't I see the skill files load when I start allegro?
To invoke the skill file you just type in the name of the file right?
i.e. replace_via <enter>
You definitely want to use %HOME%\pcbenv as your allegro.ilinit location for a default location. It used to be possible to move this around with the "skillpath" but I don't think that is a clever move in later releases. Add some debug messages to your allegro.ilinit:
printf("Start Loading Skill files:")
at the top of the file,
printf("Done Loading Skill files.)
at the bottom of the file and save the modified file.
If nothing else, you should see the messages printed at the PCB Editor Command Window after PCB Editor starts. If you don't see the messages, PCB Editor did not process the allegro.ilinit, probably because it didn't find it!
I think I would prefer to use the default HOME of "C:\SPB_Data", rather than "C:\Cadence" but this might make no difference.
You should not need the full path to the skill files in the allegro.ilinit file. Just use
load(" clinecut.il") or
(load "clinecut.il") works also.
As long as your allegro.ilinit file is in your pcbenv directory it should read it as long as you are not using the old format. If you are in 16.5 or higher open a design and do User Preferences, then do a search on skill and read what it says for skill_old_init. Make sure it is not checked. See if that works........
In reply to Boma:
Ok, so I was able to find enough info on COS to get the skill files to load. According to the doc I read, allegro.ilinit should be in the pcbenv folder. The path to the skill files MUST use the /.
Here is the contents of the allegro.ilinit file:
setSkillPath(buildString(append1(getSkillPath() "V:/allegro/skill")))
println("allegro.ilinit file loaded")
So I start allegro and it reports that the allegro.ilinit file was loaded.
Then I type:
Command > replace viaEnter selection pointLoading axlcore.cxt Command >
Allegro is now in the "replace via" command mode.
I draw a box around the vias I want to replace and the "new padstack name" dialog box appears.
I type in the new padstack name and click OK.
Allegro reports "619 vias replaced".
But they are not replaced!!!!!
There are two variations of the Skill code floating around. I believe the one you are using is causing the issue when mistyping the New Padstack name or if the padstack does not exist in the design already.
Attached is the Skill code that I have been using for a very long time which does not present this issue (replace_update_via.il). After loading the "replace_update_via.il" Skill code, any mistype of the New Padstack Name will report that it cannot be found and to please check the name. If the padstack does not existing in the design it will retrieve it from the library.
Please give this Skill code a try. (replace_update_via.zip)
Hope this helps,Mike Catrambone

YAKIMA — The season hasn't started yet, and already local baseball fans are saying, "Wait 'til next year." At least there will be a next year at Yakima County Stadium.
Word came last week that Yakima, which for two decades hosted the professional Class A Northwest League Yakima Bears before seeing the club depart late last year for Hillsboro, Ore., has landed a team in the West Coast League for the 2014 season.
The ownership group of the WCL's Walla Walla Sweets will control the club; the geography and shared economic ties between Yakima and Walla Walla suggest a natural rivalry in the making. There's also an existing team in Wenatchee that's under a different ownership.
The new Yakima franchise won't be affiliated with a Major League parent club. WCL players aren't professionals but are college players, with many from Division I schools in the West.
Yakima isn't alone in finding a place in the WCL after being orphaned by the Northwest League. Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Victoria and the Oregon cities of Bend and Medford are WCL members that used to reside in the Northwest League.
Baseball fans will miss the Northwest League, but this setup has the makings of a good fit. Geographically, Yakima slides right in with existing clubs.
News of a WCL is welcome to those seeking affordable, family-friendly summertime diversions that enhance an area's quality of life. For baseball fans, it will be an anxious wait until next year.

Ten and quarter inch track gauge railway trains and the 10.25 inch Railway Society
This long established track gauge working out at about one fifth of full size standard gauge. Originally almost all 10 and a quarter inch gauge railways were built to this gauge with scale models but in recent years narrow gauge prototypes have become more common. These are equivalent to half scale of normal narrow gauge locomotive. This allows two adults to sit side by side inside the engines and carriages. This makes such railways economically viable. See here the details of Rudyard Lake railway which is for sale
This is an old established railway track gauge with many railways built to this size in the past. The gauge is the distance between the rails measured from the inside edges.
The railway at Rudyard Lake is 10.25 inch in gauge ( the distance between the rails) and to narrow gauge proportions.
Rudyard Lake Steam Railway is one of the largest of the track gauge in the UK if not the world especially the size of the trains and rolling stock The links above tell the story of Rudyard and its ten and a quarter (10.25) inch gauge railway trains.

Wells Fargo & Co.
) is in the headlines again and this time for a wrong reason.
According to a Bloomberg report, the company has to countenance a
class-action lawsuit brought by investors who alleged the company
for marketing its risky securities lending program as a safe
Notably, in 2010, a lawsuit was filed against Wells Fargo by the
City of Farmington Hills Employees Retirement System, a pension
fund. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 100 institutional
investors who accused Wells Fargo for breaching its fiduciary
Investors sought permission to compete the case as a group and
when the judge of U.S. District Court in Minnesota found that the
charges had issues which were more or less similar, the judge
certified the case as a class-action lawsuit.
According to the investors, though Wells Fargo had marketed the
lending program as a safe and low-risk one, the company had
invested the fund in risky products such as mortgage-backed
securities. Moreover, the performance of such investments was not
even revealed to the investors to avoid any shift from the
securities lending program. Wells Fargo has, however, denied the
allegations and plans to defend the case.
Our Take
Post financial crisis, several investors have dragged top Wall
Street banks to court for misleading them with false information
and undisclosed risk factors of their financial products. As a
result, the companies have ended up paying several millions to
settle such cases. We believe that these cases tarnish a company's
image to some extent and when settlements are reached for resolving
them, a part of its hard earned money ends up meeting those
Deutsche Bank Ag
) has resolved a lawsuit related to the mortgage-backed securities
that were sold to investors prior to the U.S. Housing market
crisis, according to a Reuters report. The company is said to have
misled investors regarding the risk profile of these securities.
Deutsche Bank will pay $32.5 million for settling the lawsuit.
Wells Fargo currently retains a Zacks #2 Rank, which translates
into a short-term Buy rating. However, considering the
fundamentals, we have a Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Needing new brakes for my '08 Charger RT I wanted something with at least the same stopping power as the stock pads. These are the ticket. A little softer than the stock pads, but no noise like the stockers. There is a thick anti squeak pad and they fit tightly in the anti rattle springs. Nicely packaged as well for shipping so no chips like other pads I have ordered. I think you will like these as much as I do.

there is an app somewhere for entering recovery mode, theres also one inbuilt into the rebug toolbox2 i'd suggest installing the rebug toolbox, and toggle QA etc and then use that to get into recovery.

I cant find it but somewhere there was a post with ReActPSN edited vsh.self for Rogero 4.30CFW.
I got it already but wondering if that will work with the latest Regero 4.30CFW v3 or if its for an older version and wont work with the latest version?
And while I'm asking, can I swap fonts and the XMB XMLs from 3.55? (category_psn.xml) I want to remove everything from the PSN category as thats where I put MultiMan.
rebug toolbox2 don't enter recovery mode on my FAT PS3 CECHA12.
my PS3 now Rogero 3.55 CEX CFW v3.6 with 4.25 spoof already, how to disable it ???
sorry i've no idea, for all i know it could be different method for getting into recovery on a phat.
here is the procedure
a. Turn off PlayStation 3.
b. Turn it on and keep Holding The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again. But my PS3 BUT DON'T OFF
c. Once the System has been shutdown, Turn it on again and keep Holding The power button down (you will hear 1 beep first, keep holding) until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
d. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
e. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
f. The Recovery menu will pop up.
g. Last Option #6 is what you must use "System Update"
On OFW 3.55 i could enter recovery mode no problem, always successful , CFW i think have some strange reason.

yup that looks right to me,
if your trying to install a newer cfw, i went from kmeaw 3.55 to rogero4.30v1 from xmb, i know i shouldnt have but it worked, i'm on a slim though, so it could possibly brick a fat.
OK. Thank you very much. I'm very confused now, Maybe CFW had change something so can't enter recovery mode successful sometimes
hopefully one of the smarter people here will have a solution.
either way its better to be stuck in 3.55 than have a brick , so be careful whatever you do.

I paid $100.oo for this game
Not sure why you were sold so well, but man that marketing worked!
then it locks up the PS3 forcing me to perform a "hard" reboot which I'm sure will damage my PS3 eventually.
You know the crazy about being crazy is doing the same thing over and over! You have a choice not to play the game and risk killing your motherboard.
once again for another piece of garbage from Activision
Yet you paid 100.00 for a second game from the creators you consider garbage! The irony!

I didn't pre-order or fall for the BS this time around. I still feel slighted from MW3 and I know it's a different company, but the fact that they made us shell out $50 for ELITE at the start of the year and it still is not working as it was intended to at launch and the fact they let it be broken all year and only threw in some new bells and whistles just before the launch of BOPSII told me that it would probably be another screw job with this game release so I just decided to stay away. Sadly there are too many COD fanboys who just can't resist blowing their wad over this game and are lined up every release at midnight to get suckered again and will blindly defend the game over and over. Until players stop spending their money on these 75% finished games the game companies will continue to screw you. They make their money at release and then patch as they go, never really fixing the big issues because they've made thier profit and don't care.

At the risk of revealing my photographic newcomer status, I got my first camera (real or not) four years ago -- Canon Elan IIe. I use it at every portrait session, along with my Bronica.
Got that camera, and within a year I had constructed a darkroom in my basement. A few months later, I went MF. Things tend to progress pretty rapidly when you're obsessed, eh?

The LTA regulates the provision of taxi services in Singapore by:
- Issuing Taxi Service Operator Licences
- Issuing Taxi Driver Vocational Licences
- Monitoring the service and capacity levels of taxi operators
- Designating the location of taxi stands within the CBD
- Conducting surveys and service audits on the waiting time for taxis, taxi driver service performance and call booking response times
- Ensuring operators and drivers adhere to the Quality of Service Standards and Taxi Availability Standards
What are the Quality of Service (QOS) and Taxi Availability (TA) standards?
The QoS is a way of monitoring the service and safety performance of taxi operators and drivers. It's how we ensure that commuters are satisfied with the level of service received.
LTA oversees the performance of all taxi operators across these measures:
- Taxi booking service
- Safety
- Taxi Drivers' Conduct
View the latest Quality of Service (QoS) Results
LTA also recognises the need to ensure that there is adequate taxi supply on the road when demand is at its peak and also the need for general taxi availability throughout the day. The TA standards are set in a way to ensure that taxis are better utilised and made more available on the roads to serve commuters.
The performance of the taxi companies for the TA standards will be measured on a monthly basis, starting from 1 January 2013.
View the latest Taxi Availability (TA) Results
Apart from the above, monthly surveys are also conducted to collect feedback from commuters:
- Public Opinion Surveys – conducted monthly to rank the various taxi companies.
- Waiting time at taxi stands - conducted monthly to find out the average waiting time at major taxi stands in the city at hourly intervals between 5pm - 12am.
View the latest Public Opinion Survey Results
View the latest results of the average waiting time at taxi stands for the following clusters:
- Orchard Cluster
- Bugis Cluster
- City Hall Cluster
- Chinatown Cluster
- Raffles Place / Tanjong Pagar Cluster
Taxi Information System (TIS) trial
To help taxi commuters save time, the LTA has launched the Taxi Information System (TIS) trial at seven selected taxi stands on 5 November 2014.
With a taxi information system using real-time information about commuter demand, it allows LTA to monitor real-time commuter demand and provide this information to taxi companies, alerting their drivers to locations with high demand.
The one year TIS trial will available at the following seven selected taxi stands:
- OG People's Park (Upper Cross Street)
- Hitachi Tower (Collyer Quay)
- Lucky Plaza (Orchard Road)
- HarbourFront Centre (Telok Blangah Road)
- VivoCity (Telok Blangah Road)
- Ngee Ann City (Orchard Turn)
- Keck Seng Tower (Cecil Street)
During the trial, taxi commuters can view real-time images of taxi stand queue and find out the average passenger waiting time at MyTransport.SG.
You may also access the taxi stand information on your mobile phone via the MyTransport.SG mobile app, which is available for iOS and Andriod devices.

Secrets of Success
So glad I'm not a woman ...
View TAICHIDANCER's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from TAICHIDANCER
Monday, January 13, 2014
... because I'm not strong enough to handle all the sexist b*llsh*t that women have to put up with in this patriarchal world.
As a fat man, (who used to be a lot fatter), shopping for clothes has always been an opportunity for shame and self-loathing. But - as a man - at least I didn't have to put up with two things that women routinely endure: the message from society that my appearance was the most important thing about me, and weird variations in sizes depending on the manufacturer. For example, my wife has clothes in her closet, that range from size 4 to size 10, and that all fit her. They are just made by different manufacturers.
But for years, I could just go in to a store, grab the nearest circus tent, look at the size and know whether it would fit. That was a good thing, especially as finding out that something that I thought should fit didn't would send me into a bout of self-recrimination. (Can you tell that learning to love myself at whatever size I am has been one of my big challenges?)
Lately, however, I'm noticing less consistency in men's sizing. Men's sizing is getting more like women's. I'm fighting for equality for all, but this is not the kind of equality I want!!!!
For example, a new semester is about to start and I'm forty pounds lighter than I was a year ago. So I needed a few new things for work. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I wore XXXL at my heaviest and I was still in XXL when I started Spark. Lately, however, I've been wearing L. So I went to one store and got myself a 16 1/2" collar dress shirt (that a L). The two edges didn't even meet across my stomach! What was going on? Just before I went to the store I tried on one of my son's 16" shirts and it fit. So how come a shirt which should have been 1/2" larger wouldn't even button? Then I tried a large vest with the same result. I tried an XL vest and that wouldn't button either. A XXL vest barely buttoned.
Other times I would have been in deep shame by this point. But this time was different. I had worked hard and I was 40 pounds lighter. It also helped that I was wearing a large shirt that this XXL vest would hardly go over. I knew it was the sizes and not me.
So, I left the store, not in shame but in anger. I found a different store, tried everything on. The result was four new shirts (all large, thank you very much). But even at this new store I tried on vests and only the XXL vest fit. So I've come up with a theory about who they are making this vests for:
Spark on friends.

The lack of standardization in women's (or men's) clothing is a favorite soap box topic of mine. I could go on for hours about what is WRONG about women's sizing in clothes. In women's clothing, one size does not fit all. There is too much variation. I've always said that women's clothing should be sized like men's i.e. if the pants say waist 36, it has a 36 inch waist. Exactly what IS a size 12 waist ? No one knows because it's different for every single brand !!!
Of course, I now know that even in men's clothing, if the pants say 36, they might not be 36. Men seem to be having the same "size" issues that women have.
However, I will say one thing about men's clothing. it is better constructed and better quality than women's clothing. AND it's cheaper. Men's clothing will last longer than women's. I swear women's shirts start falling apart after the first wash. sheesh....
anyway, I feel your pain. shopping for clothes is a pain because there is no consistency in sizing. I have to bring in multiple pairs of pants to try on. I've told people don't grab off the rack or you will be sorry.
okay, passing on the soap box to someone else.

I've worn scrubs almost exclusively for the last 12 years and even those can be hard to find a comfortable fit. I suspect, as someone else mentioned, that it's because most of them are made in Asian countries. I'm short, but I will never be 'Asian petite'. Hope that's not offensive. Can't think of a better way to put it. I've started buying material and making my own.

I agree, men's clothes are no longer standard. Aggravating customers does NOT sound wise, in my opinion. I suggest emailing the companies that downsized their clothes and making it known all over the internet if possible.
And sheets for the bed are as bad, some are so large and deep and all I have is a 'normal' mattress. Headaches just to get a nice set of sheets. And the prices?
Congrats on your weight loss!

I just got up and turned on the spark and you made my day! You are such a good writer and an inspiration! I also have lots of different sizes that fit me. The dressing room has always been a depressing place almost as unpleasant as the scale. Learning to climb over that wall of denial into the garden of self love is definitely the real challenge. Thanks for sharing your insights you have made such good progress! Enjoy those new
large shirts!

I HATE trying on clothes in the store, but have to for this very reason. I wear business casual most of the time at work and when I buy pants, I get a 32" inseam, just as I have for the last 40 years, or 33" if I can find them. In the last few years I have found that pants from the same brand, at the same store, bought at the same time, same style, type, etc., one will be right, one will be long, and one will be high waters! So now I have to try on each pair or at least lay them out and pick the longer ones!
Great blog!

Sounds like the opposite of vanity sizing, unless they feel men would rather wear a larger size?
I watched "what not to wear" for a while, and they always told their "contestants" (not really sure what to call them!?) not to look at the size, but to see how the garment fits, and how they look in it. This is what I do now, and ignore the number, it's like the scale, it's just a number, and I have worked hard not to let those things get in my head and ruin (or make!) my day.

Loved the punchline at the end! Thanks for the morning laugh.
I will admit to purchasing something that doesn't quite fit right because I didn't want to buy a size up. So silly! The show What Not to Wear really helped me think about these issues. They always say to buy what looks best on you, regardless of the tag.
And thank you for fighting for equality for all. ;-)

You might have been trying a 'slim cut' shirt. I think those are made for young men who's bodies haven't matured yet but are big enough to shop in the men's department. That's my theory. Womens shirts though have slim cut sleeves. Why? So we will be shamed into having to wear a larger size. Very few women after age 20 have such slim arms. Find a brand that fits and stick with it, that's what I do for hubby and myself.

I can relate to this post. My spouse (who is xxlt) has learned to try on stuff. We also use the same shirtmaker almost always (sticking with a winning strategy), so we are able to mail order. (Joseph Banks - expensive, but the quality is good).
I noticed in India that even custom clothes had a problem because my calves are thicker sooner than the average Indian woman of the same size, and although they measured my calves, the salwar just didn't fit. We sent them back, but they still didn't get it right and I ran out of time.

Interesting! Didn't know this was happening in men's clothing.

I've found as a general rule that American made clothing fits. China and Indonesian clothing seems to be sized way off. But it serves to help us realize that size doesn't matter, its how we feel INSIDE and the ability to move our bodies and shape them in the size WE deem is perfect, that's what counts. Great post.

Well I have the same problem shopping. Its not just men and women but children as well. My three year old son is narrow in the waist so I have to buy him adjustable waist pants and that is one pain in the butt thing to find. Okay well anyway I used to work for macy's forever ago and here is the scoop I learned from the vendors. The models that these clothing sizes are made for are actually computer generated, i.e. not designed with actual human beings, that is why there are so many crazy sizes and such poor quality fit but that is what happens when clothes are mass produced. Keeps the cost of the product lower otherwise we would be paying $250 for a simple t-shirt.

You read my mind! My weight has fluctuated fifty pounds or more, up and down, so I've seen this go two ways.
Some stores use vanity sizing to sell more products. They usually do this to appeal to women, maybe she'll buy our jeans because she feels good about the size 6, she will be a loyal customer.
While other stores take a more elitists approach, only the thin, beautiful, and popular girls shop here, so we can charge three times as much and only offer sizes Small and Extra Small! If you want to be thin, beautiful and popular you need OUR brand name all over your clothing to prove it!

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I HATE SHOPPING WITH AN ALMIGHTY PASSION!!! Yes. They are making clothes for aliens now. Little green men. I am completely convinced that is what is going on. It's some interplanetary conspiracy to mess with all of us, and I refuse to participate. I swear, one of these days, I'm going to learn to make my own clothes and all the clothing stores can get in line to kiss my fanny. I'll even bend over to make it easier for them plot themselves an acre. Aren't I nice?
In all seriousness, I think it has to do with the fact that so much of our apparel is made in Asia now. Asian men and women are built very differently from us. They carry their weight differently. It's just the way it is. For instance, there is no Asian woman alive with a waist-to-hip ration that I have. It is just not how a Chinese woman is made. There is not a thing wrong with the differences between a Chinese woman and me, except that there is no way in God's green earth that I could wear clothes in the same way a Chinese woman can. When I was in China, this was a source of much conversation between my female colleagues and myself when we would go on shopping trips (meanwhile, the men in the factory were fascinated by my *ahem* large frontal assets and *ahem* broad beam, and also terrified by my height). Clothing makers are not using Western people to model clothes, and now we are being made to suffer accordingly. It also doesn't help when one is larger than the average bear. I wish I had a solution, but the only thing we can do is not take the sizes personally, because they are absolutely arbitrary and useless.

It's all monkey business if you ask me! I enjoyed your insight, but mostly, I'm super proud of your acceptance of yourself and the consistency of your weight loss. You've stuck with it and done so well. 40 pounds lighter than a year ago is fantastic!
Have a great semester in your new size L shirts!

All-Americans struggle to find balance in spotlight
Dallas Jackson
Rivals.com Football Recruiting
SAN ANTONIO - Players are groomed to be team-first and self-second from the moment they step onto a football field.
Especially when they're talking to the media.
After each game, most easily rattle off clich� answers that indicate their success is just a byproduct of their teammates effort.
But when they are the only ones the media wants to talk to - often the case for players good enough to be selected to the U.S. Army All-American Game - the words can ring hollow.
Kent Taylor said. "I could tell that some kids on the team were a little jealous of the attention. I was being recruited and they weren't. I was being interview and they weren't."
Taylor feels the team may have suffered because of it.
"We had a tough season this year," he said. "We didn't really come together as a team."
Taylor, a University of Florida commit and a member of the prestigious Rivals100, attended Land O' Lakes (Fla.) High.
His team went 7-3, finishing third in its district, and did not qualify for the playoffs.
He's not the only one with the same story.
Zeke Pike of Edgewood (Ky.) Dixie Heights had a hard time managing the attention while staying inside of the team concept.
Pike has been a hot name in a non-power state for several years. His recruitment and off-the-field struggles were well documented. His commitment to Auburn was major local and national news.
"My dad (Mark) played in the NFL for a long time," he said. "And I was one of the highest-profile quarterbacks in the state since Brian Brohm so I felt like I was in the spotlight a lot.
"Sometimes I didn't handle it the best; sometimes people were just jealous. It is hard being in that place, but I kind of got used to it."
The Dixie Heights team went 3-8 on the season and Pike missed two games due to suspensions. None of that stopped the attention nor the scrutiny.
"The people around me were supportive," he said. "I had a lot of good friends and my family help me through the tough times, but that is what those people are there for. The people who are not there to support you then you don't want them anyways; you don't really care what they think."
Jonathan Bullard helped lead Shelby (N.C.) Crest to a state final appearance and had a Division I-bound teammate, Rhaheim Ledbetter, to take some of the pressure off of him.
But the five-star defensive end said that he could still feel some animosity among some players.
"People are naturally going to be jealous," he said. "Everyone wants to be successful and when you are and they aren't it is hard."
That is the hard part to balance: friendship and the future.
Often times it is not the star player being on the receiving end. He is trying to be a good teammate while feeling the sting of others.
"I had to work hard to get here," Bullard said. "It isn't on me at this point."
Glen Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard West defensive end Tommy Schutt said that he was fortunate to have a great group of players around him.
"We had a couple of other DI guys on the team so that helped me," he said. "We also had a really tight group of seniors that did not let any of the personal stuff get in the way."
Schutt may have been the exception to the rule.
He also may have made some of the other All-Americans jealous as well.
"I wish we had as much success on the field as I had personally," Taylor said. "It would have been a more fun year if everyone was happy."

Song of the Day: Okkervil River, "The President's Dead"
Like us on Facebook
I often find myself revisiting Okkervil River's 2005 album, Black Sheep Boy, so I was psyched to see the band release a single this year to hold me over until its next full-length. I finally got a chance to hear the title track from the vinyl-only release, The President's Dead, and I'm sort of torn. On the one hand, it has all of the delicate acoustic melodrama and seething rock outbursts I've come to expect from Okkervil River, but I miss the more opaque lyrics of the band's other work. What do you guys think?

On 25 May 1982, at a critical juncture in the Falklands War, the destroyer HMS Coventry was attacked by Argentinean aircraft. In a devastating strike, she was hit by three bombs, two of which exploded inside her hull, killing 19 of her crew and leaving many others badly injured. Within minutes Coventry had capsized, and would finally sink the following day. It was the first occasion since the Second World War that a British captain and crew had to abandon a stricken ship. This is the highly personal, often harrowing story of Coventry's war told by her captain.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE: This Audio Book contains some explicit scenes/language.
©2007 David Hart Dyke (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
The story of HMS Coventry is one of the most poignant of Modern Warfare and certainly the most dramatic in recent history. The Falklands War was a brilliant maritime operation birthed in the history of the Royal Navy. The many examples of courage and bravery are inspiring, from the Captain to the junior rankings who carried on when senior personnel were lost. Words are inadequate. Highly recommend.
"A good account but lacking depth"
Only if interested in the story of Coventry.
It's a good account but lacks any depth/guts/passion.
The author expends as many words detailing his family history and correspondence home than the actual naval war.
Long winded, could have abbreviated some of the English. All of the have nots and did nots and everything else i can think of are all read out explicitly which seem endless and do nothing to help the flow of the narrative

joosh is the boss for earthen peak difficult
Kinda, her attacks are pretty avoidable and if you're a tank you'll block them easily.
The arena is covered in poison though
ya I killed her first try np. I got killed by a mimic in the iron keep tho. ffs its like the one time I dont check it turns out to be one
I walked into a room in the iron keep and the smelter demon was in there and I had died in 2 shots ah geez
So I've been doing a little DS1 PvP lately in Undead Burgh. Just been getting invaded by guys, but UB is so fun to fight in because of the ambushes you can set up. I've just been sitting in a corner with the dragon greataxe and using the two-hand R2 special so it basically just blows away 95% of their health in one hit. Follow that up with some non-lockon Zwei R1 swings and maybe a blackflame or two and it's done.
I am so MLG pro, I swear. I should be working for Madcatz.

'9/11 was perpetrated by people within our own government': Fan crashes Super Bowl post-game press conference with bizarre rant about terrorist atrocity
- Man grabbed microphone from Most Valuable Player Malcolm Smith
- Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker appeared stunned during the incident
- The fan was charged with trespassing and released
- Police made 10 arrests during Super Bowl in East Rutherford, New Jersey
- Fan managed to evaded security to get to within inches of the star player
The post-Super Bowl press conference was temporarily interrupted when a crazed fan seized the microphone to deliver a bizarre rant about the 9/11 terrorist attack.
The man stormed the stage where Most Valuable Player Malcom Smith was fielding questions about the game to claim the U.S. government was behind the strikes on the Twin Towers in New York in 2001.
He shouted: 'Investigate 9/11 ... 9/11 was perpetrated by people in our own government.'

Chaos: A fan leaps on to stage and grabs hold of the microphone as Malcolm Smith spoke
The fan, wearing a dark chequered jacket, then jumped back into the crowd and fled.
The stunned Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker appeared shaken by the incident but managed to regain his composure.
Questions have now been raised about the level of security surrounding the high-profile press conference.

Police have confirmed they arrested and charged a man with trespassing.
The man, who has not yet been identified, has been released, according to Trooper Jeff Flynn.
Despite this bizarre incident, the Super Bowl on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey, appeared to have passed of without major security problems.
Police revealed they made a total of 10 arrests, all for minor matters.

It was a bizarre event on a victorious day for Seattle Seahawks fans who celebrated a dominant triumph in the Super Bowl - the city's first major sports championship in more than 30 years.
As the team beat Denver Broncos 43-8, a swarm of fans who had been watching it in the West Coast city swarmed across the city, clambering on buildings and pounding on passing cars.
The city quickly descended into chaos as 3,000 revelers swamped the city, climbing on buildings, smashing glass and ripped down street signs.

Anticipating rowdy celebrations, the city's police had earlier tweeted a warning that they would be 'making sure everyone is celebrating safely'.
Police dressed in riot gear were patrolling the streets, with an anticipated 3,000 fans expected to party all night.
In downtown Seattle there were reports of people dancing on top of cars and the News Tribune reported hearing bangs, but said it couldn't tell if it was fireworks or celebratory gunfire.
Some revelers dismantled street signs around Pioneer Square and burned a Broncos hat as the riotous celebrations continued.
The city's historic pergola, a glass-roofed structure built in 1909, was feared damaged after hordes started clambering over the fragile building, and smashing its roof, Kiro7 News reported.
By the early hours of Monday, only one arrest had been reported, after a fan fired celebratory gunfire in his yard.

In New York, where several blocks around Times Square have been hosting Super Bowl events, the Empire State building glowed green, and fans in the team's colors partied in the street.

The last time a major Seattle sports franchise won a championship was in 1979 when the Supersonics took the NBA title.
'The 12th Man are very vocal, very passionate fans, but they don't get out of control. And we don't expect that to change, but we are prepared and we do have a plan,' Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson said.
Mayor Ed Murray said in a statement that an official Seahawks victory parade would happen at 11am Wednesday.

Deadliest tornadoes in Florida
A list of deadly tornadoes that have affected Florida.
Fla. building codes key in limiting tornado damage
Published: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 6:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 6:33 p.m.
While surveying tornado damage in Tuscaloosa, Ala., University of Florida researcher David O. Prevatt said he was struck by the city's large number of old homes susceptible to storm damage.
Tornadoes in Central Florida
Mother Nature saved some of her most violent and deadly Florida storms for Central Florida.
In February 1998, a storm swept across Central Florida, spawning several tornadoes. In all, 41 people died in Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties, with 25 of those deaths in a retirement trailer park near Kissimmee. Another 251 people were injured. More than 3,000 structures were damaged and more than 700 were destroyed.
In 2007, 21 people died and 19 were injured when storms left a 70-mile trail of destruction across Central Florida, this time in Lake and Volusia counties. Tornadoes marched through parts of The Villages, skipped across a mobile home community in Paisley, then stormed into New Smyrna Beach. More than 2,100 homes were damaged or destroyed.
"We have to expect this sort of damage unless we decide to do something differently," said Prevatt, an assistant professor of civil and coastal engineering.
Prevatt is the principal investigator of a research project documenting damage from the tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa last month. He's planning to make a similar trip to Joplin, Mo., where one of the deadliest U.S. twisters on record struck Sunday and killed at least 116 people.
Prevatt believes that new building codes, like those instituted in response to hurricanes in Florida, could reduce some of the damage from tornadoes in those areas.
"We can probably save some damage and probably save some lives as well," he said.
Hurricanes are a bigger concern than tornadoes in Florida, said David Donnelly, Alachua County's emergency management director.
Florida, he said, doesn't typically get the extreme twisters that have recently struck Alabama and Missouri.
"Florida as a whole doesn't really see those type of tornadoes," he said.
There are exceptions. In February 1998, violent tornadoes that swept across four counties in Central Florida killed 41 people. In 2007, 21 people died when tornadoes left a 70-mile trail of destruction across Lake and Volusia counties, including parts of The Villages.
The tornadoes that recently struck Alabama and Missouri are part of the deadliest year for tornadoes in the U.S. since 1953. Experts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have said a rise in the population density and the number of mobile homes along with tornado paths in populated areas are likely to explain the high death tolls.
They reject the idea that climate change is to blame, as does James O'Brien of Florida State University. O'Brien, a professor emeritus of meteorology and former state climatologist, said technology allows storms to be better documented today and sometimes leads to the belief there are more.
He is similarly skeptical of a link between climate change and increased or more intense hurricanes.
"These days there are people who want to blame everything that seems like an unusual weather event on global warming," he said.
O'Brien has conducted research suggesting that the La Niña weather pattern, currently in place, could cause an increase in early-season tornadoes. He said that might explain tornadoes that hit the South and Midwest in February and March, but not the more recent extreme storms.
Prevatt said the damage that he saw in Tuscaloosa included buildings knocked off their foundations and homes where roofs were nowhere to be found. He made a trip last year to Hiroshima, so he can compare the devastation in Alabama to photos that he saw of Hiroshima after the atomic bombing.
Tuscaloosa "really looked like a bomb site," he said.
Prevatt and researchers from several other universities spent a week in Tuscaloosa documenting damage to about 150 homes. Their work is being funded by the National Science Foundation and International Association for Wind Engineering.
Building codes in Florida have been improved since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. But Prevatt said the vast majority of structures were built before that time. Existing structures can be retrofitted to withstand damage, he said, but such work can be difficult to do on older homes.
"It's like invasive surgery," he said.
Now his attention is turning to Joplin, where more than 2,000 structures were leveled. He expects to travel there late this week or early next week, after conditions improve.
"We don't want to be part of the problem going forward," Prevatt said.

Saar franc
Saar franc refers to the French Franc (German: Franken) that was the official currency of the Saar during the two times that the Saar territory was economically split off from Germany, i.e. 1920–1935 as the Territory of the Saar Basin; and 1947–1957 as the Saar Protectorate and 1957–1959 as the state of Saarland in West Germany. Although local notes and coins were issued during both periods, legally the Saar-Franken was never a currency of its own.
The Treaty of Versailles stated in article 45 that the newly formed territory would be administrated by the League of Nations for 15 years, and that during that time France was granted the complete benefit of the Saar coal mines. The new French administration of the coal mines was granted the right to process all financial transactions with French Francs. Therefore, from 1921 to 1923 the French Franc was used alongside the German Mark (ℳ), and from 1923 on, when the Saar Territory was incorporated officially into the French economy, the Franc became the only valid currency. Due to the shortage of nonferrous metal, the coal mines administration began to print its own banknotes, the so-called *Grubengeld" ("coal mine money"). After 1930, these notes were replaced by the usual French notes.
After the plebiscite of 1935, when the Saar Territory was unified with the German Reich again, the Reichsmark (ℛℳ) was immediately introduced. The official exchange rate was 1 Franc = 0.1645 ℛℳ.[1]
On 16 July 1947, banknotes were issued for Saar denominated in Mark, which replaced the German Reichsmark. But in November 1947, the French government introduced the French Franc as the official currency. Between 20 November 1947 and 15 January 1948, all notes and coins had to be exchanged, the exchange course being 20 Saar-Mark = 1 Franc. It was not before 1954 when the government of the Protectorate issued new coins denominated in 10, 20, 50 and 100 Franken.[2] But the coins resembled the coins of the French Franc and were officially and legally not a currency of its own, but only local emissions of the French Franc.
After a referendum about the future status of the region, Saarland was incorporated into the Federal Republic of Germany as a Bundesland on 1 January 1957. The economic integration into Germany was completed with the withdrawal of all Saar-Franken two years later. On 29 June 1959 the federal ordinance "Verordnung zur Einführung der Deutschen Mark im Saarland"[3] stipulated that - with effect of 6 July (§ 1) - all debts, credits, deposits, wages, rents, fees, interest servicing, or amortisation payments, and other obligations, as well as cash reserves and prices denominated in Francs were to be converted at the rate of 100 Francs = 0.8507 Deutsche Mark (§ 2).[4] The conversion had been brought forward by half a year because of the accelerating depreciation of the French franc. The date was kept secret (called "day X") to avoid currency speculation, and only published two days in advance. The freedom to fix new prices was maintained, but especially temporarily or permanently fixed obligations, not to be altered at any time, were not to be renegotiated but converted at the rate fixed.
Appearance and acceptance[edit]
Pictures on coins of Saar Protectorate always depicted things related to the industry and mining in the region. Also the coat of arms of the Saar Protectorate appears on every coin. Coins of 10, 20 and 50 Franks depicted a factory and mining tower, with the coat of arms of the Saar Protectorate in front of them. 100 Frank coins depicted a gearwheel, again with the coat of arms of Saar Protectorate in front of it.
All four coins were identical to the official French coins in color, size and weight, only the writing and the picture was different. There were no genuine smaller coins, so that the usual French coins (1, 2, 5 Franc) were used instead. All French coins were accepted in the protectorate, whereas the Saar coins were usually not accepted in France, except in the bigger cities immediate to the border.

II, No. 8 - mentions the official rate.
