Global Type: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Cape Dorset: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Begins: Sat, Jul 4, 2020 at 11:07 PM

July 4, 2020 – July 5, 2020 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Cape Dorset
Animation: How the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Will Look
During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see, as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.

IIRC, at least one of the current Fuji digital cameras has a mode where different film responses can be set.
But the thing is, it's the subjects that made these photographers memorable! Setting the camera to Ansel Adams and then photographing a trash dump is not going to result in Yosemite. And setting the camera to Salgado and photographing lunch is not going to result in Workers.
It isn't about the camera. It isn't about the settings used on the camera. It's about glimpses into real life.
If people believe that the Picasso or Rembrandt paint brushes produce paintings like their namesakes, then sure, they'd believe it. And then you'd get sued for false advertising.

Introduction / History
Kusaal is the language of the Kusasi people. The area that the Kusasi people inhabit is about 2,200 square kilometers in the northeast corner of Ghana. Bawku is the major town in the Kusasi region. The Kusasi are farmers whose staple foods are rice and yams when they are in season. Many farmers migrate in search of more fertile farmland. The languages of Hausa and Moore are often used for trading but the people have a positive attitude towards the use of their language and Kusaal is taught in schools and used in most churches.
The Kusasi say they have always inhabited the area and have no history of migration to the area. Others say they came to the area to escape enslavement by the Mossis and Busani. The Gospel was introduced to the area in 1931 through the visits of Assemblies of God pastors and laymen from across the border in what was then Upper Volta but is now Burkina Faso. Work by churches in the area has been impressive with a hospital, corn mills and regular training courses being established to aid the community. Muslims are beginning to be an influence in the area with a large Muslim community in Bawku.

My DH and I have been together for 5 years and married for almost 3. We found out we are expecting a little boy in April. I miscarried several years ago so with this pregnancy every cramp, ache, and spot of blood has been more stressful than it should have been. DH has been awesome- really supportive, makes me laugh all the time, even reads to the belly. Our baby is healthy and strong thank God. The best thing I can do for my baby and I is to keep my stress down and prepare for his arrival.
Pre-DWIL I was a very resentful unicorn. My FOO (cousin, a few aunts) could say rude things, use me, and treat me disrespectfully with my permission. Don't get me wrong- I hated them (and myself!) for it but it never changed my behavior. I've recently started learning to speak bitch. I now understand that "No." is a complete sentence. With this pregnancy my momma bear is coming out and "my child, my decision" has been coming out more and more too. Thank you, DWIL!
The biggest hurdle my new spine and I are facing involves the birth and 2 months after. My family makes a huuuge deal about everyone being there at the hospital waiting. I've been going to hospitals to meet newborn cousins since I was a toddler. I do not want anyone at the hospital so DH and I will not be telling anyone when I go into labor. I will be registering as "private." No one knows my doctor's name. We agreed that the day after the baby is born we will invite only my mom (dads been totally CO for 9 years) and his parents to visit us at the hospital. We are very close with them. They are not boundary stomper's and will respect our wishes even to not announce the birth of our child (but to let us do it when we are ready). I have also decided that for the 1st 8 weeks I do not want any little kids around the baby (RSV/stress concern). I have a huge family with lots and lots of toddler 2nd cousins who would come over. DH has a sister out of state with 3 young (under 5) children. No one except my il's, mom, and brothers (good guys on my side not FM's) even know where we live now. NO ONE will be staying with us.
I honestly feel like I can handle my FOO. I know which family members will get crazy, which ones are boundary stompers. I would not put it past them to harass my mom, blow up my phone, even just show up at the hospital unannounced. I can deal with that crazy because I know exactly what to look for (hence the drastic privacy measures!).
My biggest concern is with my SIL. I really disagree with the way she responds to her children's health (but, her kids). I watched her kids when her oldest was 20 months and running a fever of 102. She told me to give her "a couple tube-fulls of children's Tylenol and not to worry, DN just has a higher core temp than most people, like her father." Basically, I think she is a moron. She misinterprets things to make herself the victim. I think she actually believes her own bs. It has gotten so much more obvious and directed at me since I found out I was pregnant. Pre-DWIL she was texting me every single day with advice... She would get super offended when I would politely disagree. She has told my il's (not me) that she plans on coming out here the week the baby is born with her 3 kids and staying a week or two. She would be staying with them (they live 10 minutes away). Her kids are sick all the time and honestly I just do not want to deal with her crazy!!! Their family handles her with kid gloves. I've tried gently to bring up to her mom that ds and I will not be available most of the time and that I don't want ds getting sick. I need to get my spine ready and be frank and direct. Help!!
Example of SIL: I posted on the debil how great it felt to walk on the treadmill again. She texts about how running is bad for the baby. I correct: I'm walking, and doctor says to get a 1/2 hr a day of exercise. She texts back lots of "well my dr said's" and (literally) "the baby can fall out".
Example: She has 3 daughters who all used the same crib and she has said multiple times that she isn't done having kids yet. Her crib has been used for almost 5 years. She told me that as her baby present she wanted to give me her crib. I say thank you so much for offering your crib, that is very generous. My mom has already said that she wants to gift us a new crib. She called her mom crying called me selfish, said I was stuck up for not wanting it, and was a jerk to me the next time we spoke.
Example: We took my mom/mil/fil to the gender determination 3d ultrasound. My DH was so excited that before we even left the building he had posted on the debil "IT'S A BOY!!!". His kid, he's excited!!! She texts me "can you please explain to me why I had to find out about it being a boy on fb?"
All of this happened pre-dwil. She hasn't spoken to me since Christmas because I disagreed with her about coloring hair during pregnancy.. She is still planning on coming out though. I could use some advice. I know sil/mil/fil will be very upset if I rock the boat with her and probably think I am being super over protective and very rude since she is coming from out of state. I don't think for 1 second anymore that I am being crazy to not want her crappy attitude and probably sick kids are my new born. I'm not going to budge but now I need to get DH 100% on my side and let everyone know the rules. Help!!!
Sorry this is so long!
*edited to change "debil" to "dwil" where I misplaced

I know there is a code for this, which works better than simply making the image appear on the left and having the text wrap around it. Can you let me know what this code is? I tried to find the dummy page again but wasn't able to. Thanks, April 9, 2011 at 12:18 pm #43760 James MorrisonParticipant Hey, If you use the dummy content importer, you can see the exact structure of the pages and how the shortcodes work. It might be worth setting up a duplicate WP install with the dummy content, then copy & paste the code from your duplicate install to set the pages up as per the demo so you don't have dummy content on a live site.

self-possessed. fiercely loyal, self-denying, hedonistic & an appreciator of popular culture despite sweeping gaps in my zeitgeist consumption. I'm sharp but prefer to be incisive. Sicilian & Irish. The stereotypes are true, but they are only the prologue.
I talk & read fast. I listen well. I determine the importance of things & people decisively, but those decisions can change. Convince me. I like kind assholes, not douchebags.

The 'vintage' sound of artists like Sharon Jones & The Dap–Kings and Amy Winehouse has little to do with super–expensive valve gear. Instead, it's the minimalist approach of house engineer Gabriel Roth that sets the tone.
Photo: Kevin DaleyGabriel Roth is no ideologue. He says, flat out, "Show me a computer that sounds as good as a tape machine and I'll use it." Gabriel is the audio architect of the evocative Motown/Stax–infused tracks behind Amy Winehouse, as well as those for the extended musical family for whom Daptone Studios and Daptone Records are the hub, including Sharon Jones & The Dap–Kings, the Daktaris, the Soul Providers and the Sugarman Three, the last eponymously named for Gabriel's partner in the label and studio.
When you hear Winehouse's 'Rehab' or Jones' 'Nobody's Baby' you experience a shift in time and place — you're suddenly in Detroit in 1965 or Memphis in 1962. In reality, you're in 21st–century Brooklyn, in a ramshackle house in the Bushwick neighbourhood, one of the last holdouts against the decade–long gentrification of that borough. Daptone Studios occupies a floor in the rambling residence that Gabriel and the Daptone collective have remade into a haven for that sound. However, Roth bridles a bit at the term 'retro'.
"We're not doing a purposely 'retro' thing," he says. "It's not about an ideology. Some people say that there hasn't been a good record made since 1973, and I pretty much agree with them most of the time. But I'm not listening to the old soul records and taking them apart clinically. It's more like a kind of informal schooling. You listen — listen for where the horns bite and the crackle of distortion on a vocal. You don't want to imitate it; you want to let it influence you. One of the things you learn is that sometimes mistakes are what make a track sound great. Music should not be perfect or correct. When we play and when we record, we're looking to find what makes us feel good. We're steeped in those old records, but we're not consciously trying to remake a record from 1962."
You certainly cannot call up Auto–Tune to fix any clams on a Daptone track. For starters, it's a tape–only proposition, and Roth seems to be moving joyfully backwards in time: the Tascam 16–track deck in the control room increasingly gives way to an Otari MX5050 eight–track half–inch machine. From the Trident Series 65 24–input desk, mixes go to either a nicely restored 3M M23 quarter–inch two–track deck or a somewhat scruffy Otari MX5050 quarter–inch machine. Both of these are also called into service to provide authentic tape–slap and echo effects, augmenting a pair of Orban spring reverbs and a Stocktronics plate reverb.
"There's an old–school feel to the studio, but it's by no means some kind of vintage museum," Roth states. In fact, the gear list is as much serendipitous as it is calculated: there's a newish Rode NT1A large–diaphragm condenser mic, a classic RCA DX77, and an assortment of cheap Radio Shack microphones cohabitating in the mic closet, while an Ampeg Gemini guitar amp made its way to the studio when it literally bumped into Roth as it was being tossed out into a dumpster near a building renovation. Nothing is here because it's cool; everything that is here is here because it sounds good for something.
Those who peruse these pages in search of granular descriptions of complex recording techniques won't find much to chew on at Daptone. On the other hand, you do learn that you can make quite a lot out of a very little. With the caveat from Roth that he doesn't rely on formulas for capturing any instrument, his basic approach is 'less is more'.
Drums usually get one or two microphones, and that's about double the number everything else gets. The RCA DX77 or the Shure 55 often goes on the floor next to the bass drum in such a way that it picks up the snare, as well. "From the drummer's point of view, if you looked down between the snare and the kick drum, you'd see it about a foot or two away from the snare," he explains. "The second microphone is often in the same spot as the first but adds different frequencies. Sometimes the one and only mic is over or behind the drummer's head. Sometimes the only mic is a Radio Shack dynamic."
In one scenario from a Winehouse session, he placed both a DX77 and a Shure 55 close together on the floor, then boosted the high–mids on the DX77 and cut the low–mids, around 400Hz, on the 55, resulting in less definition but way more chunk. "The trick isn't how many microphones you use, it's where you place them," the former audio student at New York University instructs. "One of the big problems with modern engineering is everyone telling everyone else how they put this microphone here and another there, and you have to use this condenser for overheads and this large–diaphragm condenser for the kick, and so on. Once it becomes a formula, people stop using their ears." This minimalist approach explains one of the classic characteristics of the great soul records of yore, which is how the tom fills seem to have a perfectly smooth decrease in volume as they increase in density: the fills move in a direction away from the lone microphone. (Listen to the fills on Winehouse's 'Rehab'.)
Roth admits that on the rare occasions when non–Daptone players encounter how he works the studio (it's not for hire), he receives some arched eyebrows. But he recalls a session with famed drummer Bernard Purdie in which he used only a Radio Shack dynamic mic placed overhead and the Akai 'Dictaphone' mic (as Roth refers to it; according to Bob Paquette, owner of the Microphone Museum in Milawaukee, Wisconsin, it's probably an Akai MC50, made in the '60s to pair with home tape recorders) on the kick. The microphones were EQ'ed and compressed together ("When the kick hits the compressor, it needs to step on the cymbals"), and both microphone channels were sent to a single track. "He said he hadn't heard that sound in a long time," Roth recalls after the playback in the tiny Daptone basement control room. "He liked it so much he said he'd come back sometime and do another track for free."
Roth is similarly minimal with the horn sections: a single microphone, often the workhorse Shure 315 or 55 (the "Elvis" microphone), is used to collect the three Daptone Horns, though sometimes he'll go to the '80s–era Radio Shack microphones, placed on a stand about four feet in front of the section. "What you want to do with horns is let them mix themselves," he says. "Give them enough room for the sounds to blend before they hit the microphone. The sound you want really is coming from the musicians, and when guys have played together for a while it's not a strain to get a good sound." On the album of instrumentals by the Budos Band, one of the Daptone Records artists, a Radio Shack condenser microphone was added on the baritone sax. "We wanted to pan the bari on one side and the trumpets on the other," says Roth.
Guitars, as you might expect, also get a single microphone, often a Shure 57, placed very close up on the speaker. In fact, while working on a gospel album recently, a shortage of tracks compelled Roth to place a single ribbon microphone in between the bass and guitar amps, which he then proceeded to record to a single track on the eight–track deck. This works out to 0.5 microphones per instrument. "No tricks — just good guitars played by really good guitar players through really good amps," he says.
Back in the control room, Roth employs other techniques to get the classic soul sound. "I roll some low end off the tracks, around 80Hz to 100Hz, before they get to tape," he explains. "The lowest frequencies have the most energy and they [saturate] the tape before the rest of the sound has a chance to get the benefit of the nice tape distortion. This lets the distortion take place closer to the upper range of the sound and keeps it tight. I'll put the low end back in during the mix if it's necessary."
A Daptone record encourages one to play with the left–right channel control on a car radio. Roth's panning is radical and static — when it's not simply mono. Much of this is due to the need to bounce tracks at times, but he says it's also stylistic. "Lately we haven't been doing what you might call 'subtle' panning," he concedes. "But you'll hear the same thing on Motown records. It's cool to have everything so right there."
On Sharon Jones & The Dap–Kings' 100 Days, 100 Nights album, the panning is Beatlesque: all the drums hard left and the bass hard right. "It's kind of like when you're in a restaurant and they have music playing through speakers in the ceiling but where you're sitting you can only hear one side of the stereo," as Roth describes it. But there's a method to this particular madness. "It gives a lot of space down the middle for vocals," he adds.
Good time to discuss vocals, then, and Jones' record typifies the adventurous spirit of the studio. "I'll try anything on vocals — the RCA, the [Sennheiser] 421, a Shure 58," Roth says. As often as not, the pilot vocal from the tracking session winds up as the keeper, and on some tracks Jones did her vocal while sitting at the upright piano. She wasn't as 'on' the microphone as usual, but the performance overshadowed that.
When c
apturing the most inspired performance is the goal, it figures that there will be some clean–up work after the fact. On a track that Jones sang through a Rode NT1, Roth noticed sibilance problems. "I bought a cheap de–esser and rolled off some of the high end, and that mellowed it out," he says. In another instance, the snare drum leaked significantly into the vocal track, particularly noticeable in the 200Hz to 400Hz range. Roth rolled those frequencies back, but that thinned out the lead vocal. Roth's habit of always doing instrumental mixes of songs resolved the matter. "By bouncing the original instrumental mixes from the quarter–inch two–track to the one–inch eight–track and then flying the vocals from the one–inch 16–track over them on the eight–track, I was able to remix [and re–EQ] just the vocals without having to remix the instruments," he explains.
While he leans towards spring reverbs on vocals and much else, Roth likes tape slap as well, requiring the kind of calculations not often seen in the digital age. "We have two inches between the record and the repro head and at 15ips it's one second divided by seven, so you have a delay of about 140 milliseconds," he reckons.
Roth's mixes suggest what it was like to fly aeroplanes before automatic pilots were invented. "The needles don't really tell you anything useful," he says earnestly. "I put all the machines into repro while tracking and listen off the playback head, which is the most accurate way to know what you're really listening to. Tape distortion is something that can be heard but not accurately seen by a VU meter, because different transients and frequencies saturate the tape and affect the needles differently. For example, a bass guitar can pin the needle for an entire song and sound fine. On the contrary, sometimes a tambourine will be hot and crunchy and barely move the needle at all. You have to be careful of trusting anything but your ears. I like to think I listen with the ears of a fan of the music. I'm not trying to inflict or avoid distortion — I'm listening for what makes the music sound good."
What comes out of Daptone is fun. And serious. It's not some Disney–like attempt at recreating what it must have been like at Muscle Shoals Sound or American Studios in Memphis in 1965. For some music engineers, the gold standard is Steely Dan; for Roth and his compatriots at Daptone, it's Irma Thomas records. Roth and the Daptones complete three to five basic tracks per day, half that if they're also doing vocals. He is not being disingenuous when he says "I'm not sure if that's a long time or not."
"It's funny," he continues, "People work so hard to get their drums to sound like they were recorded with one microphone. We just put one microphone out there. I'd rather spend two weeks looking for the right place to put the one microphone than on setting up two dozen mics and trying to balance them. We like working on eight–track and 16–track decks — it forces you to commit to decisions about sounds and arrangements on the spot."
Roth can go on and on, making specific technical references one minute and providing the philosophical rationalisation for them the next. I believe him when he says that the Daptones are not wilfully making retro records for the sake of it. Daptone are not some super–cool karaoke cover factory churning out the soundtracks to '70s blaxplotation flicks, or the Red Sauce web site churning out note–for–note recreations of classic tracks, but a place where people who really love a certain kind of music use the tools of the time to continue to make new editions of that music. The songs are new, the artists are new; the circumstances are similar to those who made this kind of music before them. They are not Civil War re-enactors going out on the weekend to show the families sitting on the side of the hill what it was like to watch the battle of Gettysburg go down; instead, the Daptones are the Amish, getting up every morning (but not too early) to go forth and do what their spiritual predecessors did, with the same kinds of tools and the same kind of passion.
It's not about recreating history. It's not about homage. It's about pulling the lessons out of pieces of black vinyl and figuring out how your ancestors did it. And the evidence at Daptone suggests that the ancestors would definitely approve. .
The current Daptone Studios (aka House of Soul) is the third incarnation, roughly gauged. Gabriel Roth was partner in an earlier record company, Desco Records, which had a small studio on Manhattan's Lower East Side and another later on West 41st Street. When he formed Daptone Records with new partner Neal Sugarman, they put together a studio in a sublet basement space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. That disappeared when the primary tenant was evicted. They moved the recording gear to Sugarman's apartment.
The first couple of Dapco releases sold reasonably well and they were informed that they had royalties of $30,000 coming to them from the distributor. "Knowing that was coming, we signed a long lease on this house in Bushwick, maxed out our credit cards and borrowed money from other sources and started building the studio," says Roth. Naturally, this being the music business, they never saw the $30,000. (The distributor's rep collected the money and promptly declared bankruptcy.) "So we ended up building the whole place ourselves," says Roth.
Members of the collective applied whatever skills other than music they possessed: Daptone collective member Charles Bradley knew plumbing; Sharon Jones and Roth actually ran electric mains and did the grounding; Roth's father helped them float the isolation booth's floor using old tyres found out in the streets (along with New York's legendary giant subway rats, another seemingly apocryphal legend is actually true: on any given day in New York, you can furnish an entire apartment from stuff people leave on the street); and Roth's mother sewed acoustical curtains at home in Riverside, California. "And the Budos Band tuned out to be very good at kicking down walls," he notes. "It was a long cold winter that year, but we got it built."
If you want to viscerally comprehend the allure of the kind of sound that Daptone creates (or recreates, if you prefer), consider this tale related by Gabriel Roth. "When we started Desco Records, we did vinyl releases only, and we recorded records with the great soul music sounds. But it was definitely a very small niche market. So we made up the story of an old king–fu movie from the '70s called The Revenge Of Mr. Mopoji. A total fake film, but we had a plot and we even gave it a kind of history, with production in Hong Kong. We put the 'soundtrack' out as a reissue and took it around to record stores. These stores would never have touched a funk or soul record by a new band, but when they saw a 'reissue' they scooped it up. We heard people saying, 'Oh, yeah, my cousin had that movie on VHS.'
"Next, we recorded [instrumental band] the Daktaris, which was a pretty rough recording. So we said it was recorded in Nigeria and people assumed it was an authentic African group. We never told anyone anything else about it; they just created their own assumptions. We had an ethnomusicologist in LA tell us that he had other Daktari records! It's kind of disconcerting, seeing how much bias people look at things through."

life is so unfair, RiRi is complete and utter perfection.
"Complete and utter perfection"? What a joke. Beauty is only skin deep, and she's really not that beautiful. Perfection should be based on the content of one's character.
excuse me but who are YOU to judge what someone believes is beautiful? cool, you have your own opinon but you shouldn't slam someone else cause you disagree with their opinon. Rihana is beautiful, if you don't like her then why in the hell are you here ay looking at Rihanna photos??
lolwut, hwo do you know that this person just meant her physical appearance, they could mean everything — her personality, her amazing voice, her courage and how she is not afraid to be herself and do what she wants, her inner beauty. cute that you have your own opinon but so do they. why couldn't you put your little opinon in an indvidual comment instead of ruining someone's comment? sorry 'mileyismylife' for me adding to the ruining of your comment but i had to step in cause i'm sick of people who just have to add their two cents in on celebs they don't like and slam others for liking them or thinking they're perfect for instance.

•In an ongoing case against Jeffrey Patrick Haley—a man accused of repeatedly punching, kicking, strangling and pointing a loaded handgun at a girlfriend, Johnson has ridiculed the victim in open court, calling her "a dullard."
•Convicted killer/robber/woman-beater Terrance Russell knew he faced California's Three Strikes Law if he committed another crime but tried to strangle a woman with both hands in September 2007. Prosecutors wanted Russell, who pleaded guilty, to receive a 35-years-to-life sentence. But to "make sure that justice is done," Johnson ignored the wishes of the frightened victim, reduced the two felony charges to misdemeanors and gave Russell just eight months in the local jail.
But for Gurel, if it's good to have a semi-sympathetic judge, it's even better to be handed a serious prosecutorial screw-up.
You might think that Deputy District Attorney Suzy M. Snyder, who has been a passionate courtroom advocate for rape victims, would have earned a pat on the back for putting Gurel in prison. However, Snyder's boss, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas, was incensed by her conduct. In fact, multiple law-enforcement sources tell me that she was escorted out of the OC DA's offices and placed on administrative leave, a move that could end in her joining the ranks of the unemployed.
According to a DA's-office document obtained by the Weekly, Rackauckas believes that Snyder had been having an affair with the man who was the lead detective handling Gurel's case. Normally, nobody would care about sexual liaisons, but what upset Rackauckas was that he believed Snyder violated his office's conduct guidelines by secretly engaging "in a sexual relationship with a testifying police witness," according to a Sept. 25 letter the DA sent to Gurel's defense lawyers, James Crawford and Leonard Klaif.
A self-described "regretful" Rackauckas stated in the letter that he doesn't think the ethical breach undermines evidence pointing to Gurel's guilt or his conviction. But the defense lawyers, who've already filed their intention to appeal the case, must be salivating about the prospects of presenting a prosecutorial-misconduct argument to the court of appeal.
So where does this leave Jane Doe?
"She's understandably devastated and disheartened and continues to be terrified of the defendant," according to Rackauckas.
Who can blame her? She's now been screwed by the defendant, the judge, a prosecutor and the police.

Raffay, you need: Lens, camera, at least one filmholder, camera support, film and a place to process it.
$300 will get you (with luck) a camera or a lens.
But here's what you could do - get a lens, and then get an 8x10 GG back. Make two boxes of 1/4" plywood so one slides into the other - mount the GG back on the bigger box, the lens on the box which slides inside, use some velvet to keep the light outside and/or make some baffles. You now have a focuseable boxcamera, put four rubber pads on it (like an old Deardorff V8) and a table can be the support.

Ranked #3 of 83 for Best Hair Salon
Ranked #5 of 37 for Best Facial
Ranked #6 of 54 for Best Hair Color
Gustavo is the main stylist I see at the salon for my cut. He is absolutely amazing!! This is coming from someone who fears getting a haircut. He keeps my hair in the style I expect and takes plenty off without my hair looking any shorter (keeping my hair long is a MUST)! He also cuts my moms hair. I sent her to him because she also fears getting her hair cut. Her hair is naturally wavy/curly and before gustavo she could never get her hair to fall right. She has A LOT of hair and somehow he gets it to fall perfectly. Her hair is truly wash and go now...and it looks beautiful!
Vote: BEST Hair Cut
Jessica is an artist at her trade! She gives me the best highlights and lowlights I've EVER had. I've never had so much dimension and beautiful color with no "oranginess" to it...which has always been a challenge for hairdressers with my color because it naturally picks up red/orange very easily. She has amazing vision of where to place colors. I get compliments on my hair all the time & have sent her quite a few referrals. I feel like her walking advertisement. :) thank you so much jessica!

That man has a mean slam. He's kind of a freak athletically on top of being a world class Judoka and BJJ player.
Being a bigger guy with big thighs, I love watching some of his pick-ups and lifting throws. He's the king of these types of takedowns as far as I'm concerned. That style of takedown suits my frame nicely, so it's fun to watch his (free youtube) videos to see the dynamics involved.

Why were ships so fragile in DS9
Why were ships so fragile in ds9? Why were shields forgotten anytime it was convenient to the plot?
For example, the klingon ships in this video are being destroyed like they are made of paper-mache:
You see klingon ships being destroyed in ONE phaser shot. No shields. No defense. One simple phaser shot that doesn't even last a second, and an entire ship full of klingons perish. That's silly. It seems like a really lazy way of conveying star trek battles for the sake of "ooooooh big pretty 'splosions"
It's a good thing deep space nine has so many great stories and characters, because the space battles were often very ridiculous.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
Before I get flamed I want to clarify that I am enjoying deep space nine a GREAT deal on my first full viewing. But some of these battles are really stretching my suspense of disbelief.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
It could be a case that Starfleet had upgraded their weapons by this time and Klingon shields were no match for them.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
In the case of the Dominion, there was an explanation. Dominion weapons could penetrate Starfleet shields, as was mentioned in a number of episodes.
In the case of battles between Alpha Quadrant powers, there's really no on-screen explanation. Maybe the Klingons were diverting their shield power to their weapons to bring down the station's heavy shielding.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
I guess ships that are not specifically identified, like people, tend to get the 'red-shirt' treatment :)
In addition, other aspects of space battles in Trek are silly: Ships make huge bank turns in order to change course when, with their technology, they should be able to simply flip around; ships in battle should also be able to jump to and fro quickly instead of plodding around like whales while fleets have this strange determination to fly same-side up as everyone else; I just suspend disbelief and pretend they're all flying around in an atmosphere since they seem to think so. I also assume that ships crewed by named characters have special "important main cast" shielding.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
Dramatic effect, mostly. And the technology behind the scenes improving.
The shield bubbles of TNG were cheap and affordable in he late 80's/early 90's. They couldnt go repainting and damaging the models every time a ship took a hit. With late 90's CG, thats easy. So they dropped the bubbles and showed us the far more visceral sight of gigantic starships carving each other up with death rays.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
In battle, wide sweeping turns may also be a way to avoid getting hit by enemy fire. A vessel may be able to spin on a dime and change its orientation, but if it's still in the line of fire, it may be better for a vessel to execute a wide bank turn and become a harder moving target to hit.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
I tend to give a pass to DS9 on their effects solely because they always did have a solid story backing them. That was always more important to me than the effects. DS9 wasn't in the habit of compensating for lack of creative story writing with effects like VOY and ENT.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
It's likely that the ships we saw being destroyed so easily had already taken some damage, possibly from their invasion of Cardassia but almost certainly from the first barrage of fire from the station itself. The station unleashes a massive amount of torpedo fire very quickly and it's several seconds before it cuts to any ships actually being destroyed...and that's mainly just from the vantage point of a small handful of launchers. The station had many such launchers and was firing bursts of torpedoes almost nonstop from half of them.
When Sisko finally orders the switch to phasers, it's likely that a good number of the ships in range of the station had already taken at least some damage. Those BoP that were taken out with one phaser shot had likely taken heavy torpedo damage already.
Granted none of the ships appear to be damaged in the least before being blown apart, to say nothing of their apparent lack of any defensive shielding. But there was simply too much weapons fire coming from the station to assume that when we saw a ship being destroyed after taking one or two shots, that in fact those were the first hits they had taken.
And as others have said, the station would be sporting larger starbase grade weapons. The mere fact that the stations torpedo launchers were firing so rapidly lends credence to this. And while no one said as much on screen, given the technological superiority of the Federation and their alliance with the Klingons, it stands to reason that Starfleet would know how to exploit whatever advantages might be available against the Klingon ships, just as Riker and Data knew in Generations to exploit the age/weakness of the BoP attacking the Enterprise. (though the mere fact that Riker and Worf allowed the BoP to inflict such severe damage to the Enterprise, is beyond negligence and neither of them should be allowed to step foot on a Starfleet ship again, even after they get out of jail...but that's a topic for another time.)
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
I hope this isn't too off-topic, but do fragile ships make for better story telling and drama than durable ships? On one hand, battles can be quite exciting and have quite the emotional impact if the ship is left limping after winning a battle. But on the other hand, it is much more tense if battles are more like sieges, where tactics and teamwork play out over a longer period of time.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
DS9 has done several good siege-themed episodes, but those have tended to be land based. Most of DS9's major space battles fall into arc-important episodes where there are several ongoing storyline to balance. That doesn't leave a whole lot of time to do a Balance of Terror-style battle. They simply couldn't do a drawn out battle without adding extra episodes and diluting the story.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
There were also some other tricks DS9 pulled; The size of ships got scaled down from TNG.
The average Klingon Bird of Prey used to be the same size as the Enterprise, but in DS9, they were size shrunk to about half its size.
I think one reason was to make battle scenes look more exciting from the outside. In TNG, ship battles used to be real slow and clunky with the shield bubbles and all.
Compare Yesterday's Enterprise to WOTW OR SOA, and you can see the difference.
But I think TNG had the best bridge suspense battle scenes.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
That's not a trick, at least not one that DS9 invented, though they're as guilty of it as any of the other series. The size of the Bird of Prey has fluctuated wildly since it first appeared, often seeming to appear as a small scout escort vessel and then jumping in size to a full cruiser. The BoP actually started out small and was scaled up as time went on.
It's now assumed that there are multiple classes of Bird of Prey, with the B'rel serving as the small scout/escort and the K'Vort serving as the larger cruiser.
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
Could it be simply that Fed weapons are VERY powerful indeed. But they just tend to "pull punches". However, Sisko being the badass he is goes for broke. Plus i believe those big phaser bars were in fact planet based units welded to the hull.

What Is Low Blood Sugar?
Hypoglycemia - low blood sugar - can be very unpleasant and sometimes dangerous. It can be caused by:
- Taking certain diabetes pills (sulfonylureas) without enough food
- Overexercising if taking insulin or a sulfonylurea
- Alcohol on an empty stomach
- Too much insulin
The Signs of Hypoglycemia
You may feel:
- Shaky, sweaty, hungry, faint or weak
- Palpitations, or a rapid heart beat
- Irritable and impatient
If you don't raise your blood sugar, you may get blurred vision and headache. You may get drowsy and confused, and even pass out.
What To Do About Low Blood Sugar
You should immediately take about 15 grams of sugar. Good sources are:
Food item
Fruit juice
Soda pop (not diet)
Hard candy
Sugar or honey
Sugar packets
2 to 3
1/2 cup (4 ounces)
1/2 can (6 ounces)
3 to 5 pieces
3 teaspoons
2 to 3
If possible, test your blood sugar 15 minutes after eating some sugar. If it is still low (below 70) or if you can't test but still feel weak and shaky, take more sugar.
As soon as you feel better, you should eat some solid food. If it's nearly mealtime, have your next meal early. If it's an hour or more before mealtime, have a snack, such as:
- Half a ham or turkey sandwich
- Peanut butter with crackers
Even if you can bring up your blood sugar quite easily, make a note in your log each time you have hypoglycemia, so you can tell your doctor what seemed to cause it. Write down:
- The time
- When you last ate
- When you last had a pill or an insulin shot.
If you have hypoglycemia frequently, you may need changes in your medication, or in your mealtimes. If your blood sugar level dips low after exercise, plan to eat a snack or small meal before your exercise session.

I believe William is quite correct that an unacceptable area of inquiry is
requesting information readily available on the net. I don't use this list
as a substitute for Google or the Boston Public Library (can't see the
Sargent mural if I do that). Indeed, I find quite the opposite is true for
me. Something is discussed that I find requires further research and leads
me to google away until the wee hours.

my DD will be 2 on sunday and i still have not got her the main present, not because i dont want to. i just dont know what to get her. i got her clothes, books, stuff like that but id like to get her a bigger present like a toy. my brother went out yesterday and bought her a little bike so i cant do that. she has a coupe car. we dont have enough room so i cant get her like a kitchen set. so does anyone have any suggestions? ideas? please help!!
birthday presents?!?
We got DD a bounce house - total cost shipped $250 (but the grandparents, aunts and uncles are pitching in for it.
since everybody else paid for that one DH found her a used mini Rhino, like the one we have, for $50.
Lucky kid!
Scarlett is my Hero.
I know I cannot spell - get over it already. Nobody is perfect like you.
Here is the link:
It is not a huge one but it is bigger than the littly tikes ones that everybody gets and the mesh walls are very high, which I love. The material on the jump part is way better than the little tikes one also.
I should also mention that it rolls up and fits into a carying bag that it came with. Not exactly small per say but could fit in a closet if you are worried about storage.
Scarlett is my Hero.
I know I cannot spell - get over it already. Nobody is perfect like you.
Maybe a bin of dress-up clothes, shoes, hats, jewelry? Between 2 and 3 little girls really get into dressing up. Just make sure they're easy to put on and take off or you'll be playing dress up more than you want to ;).
A tea set or picnic set? DD's PBK tea set has its own picnic basket so everything stores nicely inside.
A doll stroller if she doesn't already have one.

DD Caroline 3/05/05�DS Oliver 10/09/10
I need help too! My mom got my DD a Dora bike, her Godparents got her a Schwinn bike, and my Aunt got her a LeapPad, which was what I was going to get her. Now IDK what to get her!
FTM to baby girl Esme
What about a table and chairs set? Most fold up flat so when not in use, it won't take up much space.
Maybe a toybox/dress up box to put her things in?
Does she have a bookcase for all her books? Walmart has a small media shelf that could work for holding books. This is similar to one we bought for other items. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sauder-Beginnings-Collection-Multimedia-Storage-Unit-Black/17766032
A child size rocking chair would also be a good idea and doesn't take up much room.

how to find suitable vectors to transform wild-type bacteria
Posted 07 March 2012 - 02:10 PM
Is it common that foreign vectors don't survive in wild type bacteria? Should I check which vectors can survive in the bacteria firstly before I start? Unfortunitely, my bacteria is seldom studied and it is hard to find references.
I am a new starter in this field and hope to get some help. Thanks for reading my poster, and look forward for any of your suggestions!
Posted 10 March 2012 - 12:41 AM
Another problem could be interference with methylation patterns ...some bugs do not like the methylation pattern E. coli produces ...therefore plasmids get degraded upon transformation ...or restriction systems that degrade the plasmid you are transforming.
You see several possible reasons why its hard to transform wt bacteria ...i would do a in depth literature research before starting wet lab work!
What bug are you working with?
Posted 10 March 2012 - 06:35 AM
I'd recommend looking at broad host range plasmids. There are several out there. Some notable ones are pAMbeta1 and pWV01. You can check pubmed for articles on these. (The first often has a greek beta, the second is ambiguous about whether the zero is a zero or an O).
Posted 10 March 2012 - 07:46 AM
RSF1010 is also a prominent one if you are working on gram negatives!
Posted 13 March 2012 - 01:23 PM
Thanks for your suggestions. I am working on reading, as I am new in this field.
Would you please give me some suggestions about what aspects about the bacteria should I read about? I am not very clear what I should regard before I design the experiment. Thanks a lot!
Posted 14 March 2012 - 07:41 AM
What I am working on is a rothia species. They are seldomly studied. So I don't have much reference to go. One family member is genotyped. Still I don't know what aspects I should study about.
Besides, I see some people use cell mating. Is it easiler than plasmid/ linear DNA transformation?
And, how many ways are there to do gene deletion in bacteria? Up to now I have read about recombineering, in frame gene deletion, Targetron kit in sigma. I hope to get a big picture, and then choose a suitable one for my bacteria.
Thanks very much! Look forward for responses.
are there any publications available on releated species? ...you need a vector that has an origin of replication that can be recognized by your bacteria (this means the promoters should work there). Maybe you find plasmids that have been already characterized and known for replicating in a lot of gram positive or negative bacteria.
Another problem could be interference with methylation patterns ...some bugs do not like the methylation pattern E. coli produces ...therefore plasmids get degraded upon transformation ...or restriction systems that degrade the plasmid you are transforming.

I am thinking about transferring linear DNA into my bacteria, instead of vectors. I have several questions regarding to this technique:
1. what is this technique called? I hope to search more about it.
2. is linear DNA easier than vectors? Does it also has the problem of "not matching the bacteria" and thus being degraded?
3. I have read a protocol constructing linear DNA and transform to another bacteria. And then they did cell mating to their interest bacteria. I want to know if mating is easiler than linear DNA and vector transformation?
Thanks very much for your time!
I would start with electroporation as a baseline. Wash the cells with water (ideal) or an iso-osmotic solution of a non-ionic compound such as sucrose or sorbitol. You can check CFUs after washing to make sure you haven't killed the cells. Cell growth stage can be a critical variable. Easiest to try for knockout would be a knock-in assay. Make a linear DNA construct containing an antibiotic selection cassette and 500-1000 bp region of homology to the desired insert location on each side of the cassette. Purify the DNA, put lots of it in with your cells, and electroporate. Culture without selection for 1-2 doubling times, then plate on selective medium. You can check CFUs post-electroporation to test whether you are trashing the cells. Life will be easier for you if you can freeze the cells after washing. Try storing the cells at -80 in a 10% glycerol solution.
Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:49 AM
Thanks a lot!
Also, you probably should characterize the restriction enzymes present in your organism. Genome analysis may tell you something, but experimenting with cell lysates is the sure way to tell. It would be good to either eliminate restriction sites, or to methylate your DNA to protect it.

Chevrolet Impala
I'm trying to replace the front end seal of the crankshaft on a '92 Dodge Dakota with a 4cyl. OHC engine. My only problem so far is that I can't get the crankshaft sprocket off. I have a puller, but the sprocket has 5 holes so it won't align and there is nothing for it to push against (since the sprocket covers the end except for the bolt hole). I thought about partially screwing in the center bolt to push against that but that would still leave the matter of the puller not aligning. I would really appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks.

Plays Officer Dan in the viral 'Motorcycle Vs. Car Drift Battle' videos and was the cover shot of "Keep Drifting Fun." Nuff said!
Dan rode BMX before drifting for 15 or so years until it hurt too much to ride. Having an empty spot in his soul where BMX was, his first introduction to drifting in 2007 had him hooked from his first ride along. He has no real previous racing background (other than some auto cross), but fell in love with drifting immediately. He competed in both Vegas Drift and Top Drift Pro-Am series in 2011, and in 2012, received my Formula Drift License attaining 2nd place overall from Top Drift. He also plays Officer Dan in the viral 'Motorcycle Vs. Car Drift Battle' videos and was the cover shot of "Keep Drifting Fun." My rookie year of Formula D was full of learning, and we hope to do much better this season in Pro 2!
