Just had a wierd thought.
Why not invent nylock cones? As opposed to the current cone-with-locknut system?
Then there'd be no need for cone wrenches...
Just had a wierd thought.

waste of time
Nice idea, but probably not reliable enough over the long haul. There are systems out there that don't use cone wrenches, and the trend is away from the classic threaded steel axle and cones, but in the meanwhile, the nut and locknut design is time tested and about as bulletproof reliable as you could hope for.
BTW- if you'd like to test your theory, I have some nylon anti-vibration for threads that works like Nylock, and I can send you a sample to experiment with.

Ah, so it doesn't exist.
That's true, nylon does wear out.
Though I'd imagine that with such a system the ease of adjustment and installation would mean having to replace the cones once in a while isn't a big deal.
I'd be more apt to change my grease and bearings more frequently if I didn't have to deal with the cone wrenches and all....
There is always Red Loctite. You could dispense with the locknuts and cone wrenches but you'd need a heat gun or propane torch for every overhaul.

Jam nut pairs when properly tightened against each other, don't come loose .
I prefer my threaded forks left long enough , So I can use a thru threaded Nut to jam tight against my Top headset race , then spacers and what ever above that is no detriment to it staying tight.
Wait, what was the problem being solved?

The use of Wikipedia by doctors for their information needs[edit]
This is a proposal for a research project to study the relationship between Wikipedia and the information needs of doctors. The community's knowledge and feedback is more than appreciated! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richardpullicino (talk) 19:43, 30 March 2014
The board has been discussing holding our first annual general meeting soon. James has just invited the 300 most active medical editors across all language Wikipedias to join. I've proposed sending an invitation to the talk page of all medicine projects across all languages.
Proposed invitation:
"Hi! I'm writing to invite people with an interest in medicine and health to join Wiki Project Med Foundation, a user group whose mission is to improve our health content. There are no associated costs, and we would love to collaborate with you. If you'd like to join us, please complete this form, and if you have any questions or comments, please join the conversation on our talk page. --Anthonyhcole along with the rest of the team at Wiki Project Med Foundation"
--Anthonyhcole (talk) 04:11, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Membership application[edit]
Looking at the membership application[1]
Should we make the COI box optional?
- And should we reword it as "Do you have any conflicts of interest? If no simple put "no"
- And for sex we should have a "rather not say" box
- And we should have a link to a tool that will help people determine how old their account is and how many edits they have made. I am happy if they are not medical edits
Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:28, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'd feel more comfortable if members declared any glaring conflicts of interest.
- The present wording is "Do you have a commitment or loyalty that conflicts significantly with our mission, such as receiving payment to positively represent a therapy." I prefer the existing language, because it spells out what we mean by COI. I'd like it to give them a tick box for "No", and a tick box for "Yes" followed by a paragraph box where they can explain their COI. But Google docs seems to offer either tick boxes or paragraph responses - not both.
- Agree "rather not say" sex should be an option.
- James, would you like the tool to be in the Google form or in the responses spreadsheet?
- --Anthonyhcole (talk) 05:04, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- I've added "I'd rather not say" to the sex question. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 04:22, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Should we post the criteria somewhere?[edit]
- Our by-laws presently say
"Membership will be open to all persons over the age of twelve (12) years and who support the mission of the Corporation. The members and the Board of Directors of the Corporation by their majority vote may from time to time establish such other criteria for membership, including a schedule of dues, as they deem appropriate."
Google Docs and security[edit]
I've seen serious criticism elsewhere of people using Google to host confidential information. That is probably a valid concern. Are there alternative, more secure methods of managing memberships? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 05:01, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Privacy of membership list[edit]
The membership application currently states:
"Other private information (real names, full addresses if optionally given, email addresses, contact numbers) will be collected and stored by the Membership Secretary. This information will never be shared with an outside organization or with non-Board members, without explicit permission from the member concerned, and will only be shared with other members of the WPMEDF Board if necessary for WPMEDF communications that advance our ongoing projects and mission."
New York non-profits are subject to some fairly inflexible provisions regarding members' right to inspect the membership list; see e.g. NPC §621:
"(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, every corporation shall keep [...] a list or record containing the names and addresses of all members [...]
(b) Any person who shall have been a member of record of a corporation for at least six months immediately preceding his demand [...] upon at least five days written demand shall have the right to examine in person or by agent or attorney, during usual business hours, its [...] list or record of members and to make extracts therefrom."
I'm not sure if this provision can be tailored out in your bylaws (there's nothing explicit to that effect in §621, but perhaps New York law allows for such in general), but I would suggest giving some thought to how you might deal with these requirements in practice. Kirill Lokshin (talk) 12:47, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Kirill. We had a moment in Wikimedia Australia, where someone was standing on his right to inspect the membership list (with home addresses). When he realised he'd actually have to travel to the office and look at the physical book (i.e., the staff wouldn't post or email him a copy), I think he lost interest. Still, we need to change the above advice. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 03:16, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- I've changed the preamble to read:
"Members' Wikimedia usernames and country of residence will be public. Other information (real name, full address, email address, contact number, sex, age, conflict of interest, etc.) will be collected and stored by the Membership Secretary.
Per New York Not-For-Profit Corporation Law § 621, the list of current members' real names and addresses (only) may be viewed at our New York office by anyone (or their agent or attorney) who has been a member for at least six months immediately preceding their request to view. Your Wikimedia user name will not be revealed; neither will any other information - just name and address. If we receive such a request, we will email all members five days before viewing occurs, so they may resign from the foundation and have their name and address removed from the viewed list."
- Kirill, do you know of a software package for managing memberships? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 04:12, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- I like that wording Anthony. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Anthonyhcole: I'm not aware of any software that's specifically intended for membership management, but I think just about any CRM package can be used for that purpose. At WMDC, for example, we use the contact management features in Podio. Kirill Lokshin (talk) 11:58, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Med topics you want to hear about?[edit]
- I am currently running this pilot project under an IEG grant. I am very interested in attending the Wiki project Med sessions in Milan and interacting with the Wikimedia medical community: the next step for Wikitherapy could be promoting the concept to hospitals (i.e. not only mental health institutions) and getting doctors and/or patients involved. I have connections in Greece that would be willing to embrace the idea. If you would like me to make a brief presentation I would be happy to do so! See also the poster I have submitted here.

Please comment on my Individual Engagement Grant talk page about my proposal for Guided Checklist for Health Topic Experts[edit]
Hello everyone,
I created a new Individual Engagement grant to try and fix a problem. Grants:IdeaLab/Effective Engagement with Health Topic Experts using Guided Checklists
From my work with Cochrane as a Wikipedian in Residence and my observations of other attempts to engage health topic experts in editing, I've come to the conclusion that the quality of the contributions of health topic experts does not match their level of expertise and effort the we as Wikipedians put into training new medical editors. So, I decided to create a new project to develop a Guided Checklist that would assist a health topic expert in assessing the quality of a health articles on Wikipedia, and then guide their contributions toward making edits to correct the lack of quality.
My individual engagement grant would involve interviewing health topic experts and active medical editors, as well as a community consultation on Wikipedia English WikiProject Med. Please add yourself as a volunteer if you would like to participate. Or leave suggestions on the talk page. Or endorse if you support the idea. Sydney Poore/FloNight (talk) 00:00, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Street artist Banksy's first film Exit Through the Gift Shop is up for an Oscar - and it seems the subversive Briton may be waging an unorthodox award campaign on the walls and billboards of Los Angeles. Photo: Reuters
A graffiti-enhanced poster attributed to secretive British artist Banksy was ripped down on Wednesday in Hollywood, amid sightings of other pieces in a reported pre-Oscars publicity campaign in Los Angeles.
Banksy is nominated for best documentary for Exit Through the Gift Shop at the Oscars, due to be announced on February 27 at the climax of Tinseltown's annual awards season.
And the elusive artist, whose identity is not publicly known, is suspected of being behind a number of Banksy-style graffiti pieces that have cropped up over the past few days.
One was on an advertising board overlooking Sunset Strip, opposite the headquarters of the Directors Guild of America, depicting an inebriated Mickey Mouse with his hand indelicately placed on a model's body.
But the TMZ celebrity website posted a video of the poster - which if a genuine Banksy could be worth a lot of money - being taken down on Wednesday - followed by an altercation involving those who removed it and another man.
At the same time, other examples of the provocative British artist's work have been spotted around town, including a Charlie Brown figure starting a fire on the side of a burned-out building on Sunset Boulevard.
Representatives of the artist could not be immediately reached for comment on the reports, which came 10 days before the Oscars ceremony when the movie world will descend on Hollywood for the 53rd Academy Awards show.
Banksy, whose work has surfaced in the West Bank and post-Katrina New Orleans and now sells for tens of thousands of dollars at auction, calls the picture "a film about a man who tried to make a film about me".
Exit Through the Gift Shop - dubbed "the world's first street art disaster movie" - focuses on French videographer Thierry Guetta and his insider look at underground artists at work.

Northwest Center for Disabled Is Closed; Move Is Part of Trend to Community-Based Homes
Kohler, Jeremy, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
OVERLAND The state of Missouri recently shuttered Northwest Habilitation Center, a state-run, 80-bed residential care center for developmentally disabled people, the latest step in the state's effort to move residents into smaller, community-based homes.
Missouri's residential care system has long been under scrutiny because of client deaths and criminal mistreatment, and the state has not allowed new admissions to state-operated centers in more than four years. There were 52 residents with developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome, autism and cerebral palsy at Northwest in October.
Residents were moved to other state-run institutions or private homes under contract with the state to care for developmentally disabled people.
The administration of St. Louis-area institutions for developmentally disabled people was consolidated as "part of a continued effort to more efficiently use state resources and facilities," Debra Walker, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Mental Health, said in an email.
The closure of Northwest follows that earlier this year of a center in Nevada, Mo., leaving nine centers in operation, three of them in the St. Louis area in Bellefontaine Neighbors, St. Charles and south St. Louis County.
Missouri is one of many states trying to move clients into "community settings," such as private homes. Ten states and the District of Columbia have shut down all of their institutions. Two years ago, an effort failed in the Missouri Legislature to close all Missouri institutions.
"The community settings are more homelike and can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual," Walker said. "Individuals living in the community have more choices for example, where they want to live, what food they eat, how they spend their day." She said some people may still be admitted to the habilitation centers in times of crisis.
Some families, though, say life for profoundly disabled clients is better at state-run facilities where they can get 24-hour care, instead of in homes that are barely regulated.
In 2006, a Post-Dispatch investigation exposed widespread mistreatment of developmentally disabled residents of state institutions and privately run "community based" group homes, resulting in 21 deaths, hundreds of injuries and thousands of cases of mistreatment. Although the death of George Holmes in August 2004 at Bellefontaine Habilitation Center during a struggle with workers triggered the inquiry, the Post-Dispatch investigation found problems with abuse and neglect at the state-run and privately run homes. …

Okay, I was riding my 2005 Fisher HKEK last week. I stopped to enjoy the scenery for a second. I threw a leg over her again and gave it two good pedal strokes and all of the sudden...my seat cocked backward.
I hopped off the bike (thinking that my binder bolt was loose) and got out my multi tool. I looked at it with tool in hand and noticed that the seat tube was cracked and bent backward about 45 degrees!
My seatpost is always at least 1" below the minimum insertion mark just to be on the safe side. On the 2005 Fisher HKEK, the seat tube sticks above the top tube / seat tube junction about 2 inches or more. My seatpost was inserted to slightly below the bottom of the top tube. ( I measured ) The seat tube broke off at a 45 degree angle.
Gary Fisher hardtail frames have a lifetime warranty against defects. I took my bike to the shop and just let her sit. I have been riding my Dakar XLT Porker on my normal climbing trails.
My first thought was that they would give me guff because they'd think my post wasn't inserted enough. Then I figured they'd send me a 21" frame so my post wouldn't stick out quite so far. Then I thought they'd send me a "Biggun's" hardtail frame that is tougher and much heavier.
All of these were not going to be too acceptible to me. So I just sat and waited for a response.
I just talked to my LBS and they said that Gary would be sending me a new ZR9000 hardtail frame like the one I had, but they don't have that color anymore. I get to pick from a bunch of colors and either black or white lettering.
Wooha!!! I'm stoked. I have always liked the '06 Excaliber metallic orange, and I love the orange Fisher Ferrous steel frame this yr.
I decided to go with metallic orange with black Fisher logo's. (X-cal orange / Ferrous black)
I'll post pic's when she's gets here and I put her back together.
Okay, I don't think Gary Fisher is God BTW. I just feel blessed to get a custom colored frame.

Istook Set to Unveil Religion Amendment: Changes to Its Wording Win Converts
Witham, Larry, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Sponsors of a religious-liberty amendment to the Constitution say support is snowballing, with the backing of more than 100 lawmakers and once-reluctant religious bodies that wanted changes in the bill's language.
Rep. Ernest Istook, Oklahoma Republican and chief sponsor of the bill, will introduce it in the House today. The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Henry J. Hyde, Illinois Republican, has stated interest in holding hearings by this summer.
But the main accomplishment, Mr. Istook said, is to unite all the pro-amendment groups around language upon which they can agree.
"I am delighted that the National Association of Evangelicals has endorsed the religious-freedom amendment," Mr. Istook said in a recent statement. "This is yet another addition to a long list of supporters."
A week before the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) gave its backing, the Southern Baptist Convention endorsed the measure. Both groups had rejected language in a 51-word amendment unveiled in late March.
The new amendment, now at 71 words, clarifies that all the rights being protected are those of the "people," whereas some critics thought the earlier wording gave government the right to "acknowledge" one religion or another.
The new language also drops the term "acknowledge" and substitutes "recognize," as in: "the people's right to prayer and to recognize their religious belief."
To meet concerns of the NAE, the idea of "equal access" was added. The term has become a key legal principle since Congress passed the 1994 Equal Access Act, which allows student religious clubs the same rights as other clubs on campus. The principle was upheld by the Supreme Court.
Both the Southern Baptists and the NAE were concerned about putting a "majoritarian" principle in the Constitution, which would allow religious majorities to curtail the freedoms of minorities. "It is significant that the NAE wants to assure that all Americans have equal access to express their belief, and not be disqualified from equal treatment on account of religion," Mr. Istook said.
With the initial unveiling of the amendment in late March, House Speaker Newt Gingrich and other GOP leaders supported the initiative, saying the detailed language could be ironed out by experts in legislative committee. …

Live in tune as a way of life
Live in tune
Live in tune is the Philip Stein brand ethos; it sums up everything we believe in:
Tuning means calibration for optimum performance, and our Natural Frequency Technology helps to re-tune your body and mind to their natural best.
Being in tune means being in harmony and when your body is in tune, you feel better, have more confidence and experience life in a healthy, balanced way.
For us, Live in Tune is a reminder and an encouragement to pursue personal betterment and harmonious living every day through the Philip Stein technology and lifestyle. After all, a life in tune is a life well lived.
Live in tune.
Our philosophy
Our world is dazzling in its variety and energy, yet also unprecedented in its speed and demands. Living in balance can be a daily challenge. The Philip Stein answer isn't to disconnect, but reconnect – to our thoughts, ourselves and to the earth. Even in times of stress, even deep within the city, we believe living in tune is achievable.
We're all unique, and so is our sense of wellbeing. For us, it's a harmony of mind, body and spirit. It can be found everywhere you are and in everything you do, not just occasionally but always. Maybe you've been on the road to wellbeing a long time; maybe you're just beginning – simply know that it isn't a destination and perhaps not even a journey. Living in tune is a way of life.
Our technology
Everything around us, and even inside us, has a frequency. Our technology channels the natural frequencies that most benefit your body, re-establishing your personal connection to the earth.
When you wear a Philip Stein watch or bracelet, that technology meets your body at the wrist, an important energy centre. Not only a pleasure to wear, it helps you to live in tune without time, effort or willpower - the perfect companion to modern living.
Our story
We've been working to help people live in tune for more than ten years. We're as proud of our early customer testimonials describing better sleep, focus and relaxation, as we are of becoming one of Oprah's "favorite things". Not just once, but three times.
But if anything, the last five years of Philip Stein has been defined by research. We're always exploring, refining and developing our natural frequency technology, and seeking new ways to share it. Our watches, sleep bracelets and fragrance are just the beginning in our aim to bring better living to everyone.

Gemma Bulos 2007 Global Fellow
Develop safe, effective water systems in villages across the Philippines through the combination of low-cost water purification technology and local community ownership.
Gemma Bulos, a Filipina-American musician, teacher and multi-award winning social entrepreneur deeply believes in a connection between peace and safe water access. Currently she is the Director of the Global Women's Water Initiative, a training program teaching women in Sub-Saharan Africa to be water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) technicians, educators and social entrepreneurs. Much of her work in this area was spurred by her reaction to the tragedy of September 11th. While introducing new alternative water treatment technologies and studying water stewardship in the Philippines, she met Kevin Lee, a former U.S. Peace Corps volunteer. Based on the concept that it takes a single drop of water to start a wave, they joined together in order to realize the power of community participation in building healthy communities. To date GWWI and ASDSW communities have been able to provide their own clean water and/or sanitation solutions, affecting the lives of over 210,000 people.

Please this is my last hope, I asked on so many other forums and got no replies.
Time to begin rom hacking yourself and not to rely on game-specific tools others have made. What you're asking here is practically impossible for a beginner to do but there are some hackers around who I believe have accomplished doing the things you mentioned so go to look around and see what you can find.

Lakers run out of gas in Game 4 loss to OKC Thunder
LOS ANGELES — Game 4 between the Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night began just 21 hours after the conclusion of Game 3.
No way would the aging Lakers dare run with the young gazelles from OKC, not after narrowing their deficit in the playoff series to 2-1 with a 99-96 victory on Friday night.
Triple-digits were forbidden territory for LA, but that's precisely where the Lakers wound up as the Thunder's young legs sprinted by in the closing minutes for a 103-100 comeback victory at Staples Center.
OKC now leads 3-1 and a potentially clinching Game 5 will be Monday at 8:30 p.m. at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
LA players and coaches continually have preached the importance of patience and pace against the Thunder.
In the end, the Lakers appeared to be running on fumes and it cost them an apparent 2-2 tie in the series.
Game 1 had been timed with a stopwatch as the Thunder blew out LA by a 119-90 count.
Games 2 and 3 were timed with an hour glass thanks to the Lakers dictating tempo.
The plan worked in Game 2, although OKC closed the game with a frantic 9-0 run for a 77-75 victory and a 2-0 lead.
The plan returned in Game 3 and the Lakers prevailed thanks to converting 41 of 42 free throws and outscoring the Thunder by 15 at the line.
But was that the plan for Game 4?
Oddly enough, it was the Lakers who forced tempo in the first half, persistently pushing the ball upcourt to take a 56-46 lead, thanks in part to outscoring the Thunder 13-8 on fast-break points.
In the second half, fatigued seemed to overtake LA, which managed just two points on the break.
The Lakers might not play as old as many think, but they most certainly are as big as advertised.
Their 43-39 rebounding advantage included 18 offensive rebounds and a 19-13 advantage in second-chance points.
LA used its significant size to outscore OKC 34-16 in the paint in the first half. Tired legs appeared to take over, and the Lakers shrunk after intermission as the Thunder owned an 18-14 advantage in the paint after intermission.
After an impressive first quarter, the Lakers' shooting plummeted — 60.0 percent in the first quarter; 40.7 percent in the second; 41.2 percent in the third; and 31.8 percent in the fourth.
LA began to choke on its own fumes.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, a pair of 23-year-olds, did in the Lakers in the final period, scoring 11 and 10 points, respectively. Westbrook finished with 37 points (15 for 26 from the field) and five assists. Durant had 31 points (10 for 18), 13 rebounds, two steals and two assists.
Lakers legend Kobe Bryant had a game-high 38 points, plus eight rebounds and five assists, but he came up empty in the end.
Bryant shot just 1 for 6 from the field in the last four minutes, and the lone field goal was at the buzzer and completely insignificant.
The Thunder trailed 91-78 with 8:02 remaining and closed with a 25-9 run.
For the third straight game in the series, the team that led in the final three minutes was not the team that wound up winning.

GRI-T8800R Quick Start Guide
GRI-T8800R Manual
The T8800 from GRI is a single sensor programmable temperature monitoring security device.
Unlike it's
big brothers, the ThermStat 3 and 4 where four individual sensors are used, the T8800 has only one sensor.
The single temperature sensor is housed in the appliance (T8800) or can be ordered with a connected remote probe (T8800R).
The memory in the T8800 is non-volatile because all temp trip limits are set with a small
screw driver.
No typical software program is required. Simple to set.

Mizzle Assault Ant wrote on 09.05.2016:
[10.0] "I pretty much always love watching Rhino, whether it's in ECW, WWF/E, TNA, or any of the many other promotions where he has done his thing. He has been putting out good matches with great consistency for almost 20 years now and seems almost ageless, it's incredible how he is able to keep up such quality. Wish he'd have gotten a bigger run on top of something but his career stands for itself."
JMTheBadOne wrote on 29.06.2015:
[7.0] "At worst, Rhyno was a decent mid-carder at the highest level. At best, he was a well-decorated indie stud who was also worthy of holding the ECW World Championship and NWA World Heavyweight Championship (as contested in TNA. ) Additionally, Rhyno as also won the WWE United States Championship and WWE Hardcore Championship. Rhyno has recently resurfaced in NXT in a regular role and has seemingly caused the WWE to establish a new business model in for how they attract, address, and sign well-established free agents to non-exclusive deals."
Preston Ward Condra wrote on 20.06.2015:
[5.0] "Rhyno has always been treated like a low mid-carder for his entire wrestling career, regardless of the promotion. He was never given a shot at the WWE title and I remember when this guy made the move to TNA in 2008 and feuding with his real life best friend Christian (besides Edge) the crowd could of cared less. Rhyno losing his job after getting into a fight with his wife back in 2005, at Wrestlemania 21 is probably more notable than his entire WWE run."
gondel wrote on 06.05.2015:
[10.0] "A great wrestler, a great babyface despite his outfit. A great wrestler for hardcore matches but also a main eventer."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 23.03.2015:
[8.0] "Rhino's a guy I actually appreciate even more now than I did when he was in the "big leagues. " Can always be counted on for a hard-hitting brawl, and can be a fine headliner on the indy level or a solid upper-mid level guy or enforcer figure in the national-level companies. He's only gotten better in the ring over the years, and despite being a 20-year veteran he's still under 40, so he should have plenty of gas left in the tank."
Leone wrote on 10.03.2014:
[8.0] "Before Brock Lesnar became an unstoppable Rookie in WWE in 2002, Rhino was doing the same thing in ECW, and while he was there, he was brilliantly booked. Not only that, but The Gore was possibly the best spear in the business at the time. It fit his character perfectly. WWE also used him very well in 2001. But after receiving the injuries that put him on the shelf for the whole of 2002, he hasn't seen quite the same degree of interest or momentum. Yes, he won the NWA title, but it was short lived. I see Rhino as someone who had great potential, but unfortunately much of his success and legacy happened early."

JustinJDMarineau wrote on 29.04.2012:
[10.0] "I have always been a big Rhino fan and ever since he left TNA in late 2010 (THANK GOD! ), every now and then, I've missed seeing Rhino in the ring cause he's such an awesome wrestler, and I saw him a little bit last year in Ring Of Honor as a part of the Embassy and then I saw him on Edge's latest DVD that came out recently, but now he's back in ROH and I'm loving it! Granted, I don't really care for the fact that he's in the House Of Truth now because I don't like Truth Martini that much, I would rather have him still be in the Embassy Limited, but at the end of the day, I still get to see Rhino on ROH TV now so that's definitely a big plus!"

DVD Release Date: 16 September 2008
Made of Honor walks down the isle on DVD (in either wide or full screen presentations) with an audio commentary by director Paul Weiland. The Blu-Ray release of Made of Honor offers an even bigger bridal party.

Similar in theme, only with the roles reversed, a non-committal woman suddenly realizes she's in love with a man when she's receives an invitation to his nuptials—where he will tie the knot with someone else in My Best Friend's Wedding. A father, unwilling to let his little girl go, looks for every possible reason why his daughter should not marry her intended in Father of the Bride. Cultural differences stand between a couple in the Bollywood film Bride and Prejudice.

Course overview
Develop your skills as a contemporary art practitioner to engage critically and creatively with the world in new and traditional media including painting, drawing, printmaking, 3D, digital and multi-disciplinary forms.
Combine cutting edge theory with specialised studio practice when you enrol in Deakin's Bachelor of Creative Arts (Visual Arts).
Incorporating digital technologies, traditional techniques and interdisciplinary practices, this course focuses on the curious, the critical and creative student. Students are introduced to contemporary art through a program that contextualises their work in theory and practice through lectures, workshops, tutorials, collaborative and independent studio. Critical thinking and collaboration are key to developing the technical skills of the 21st century as students need to be adaptable, articulate and creative practitioners, no matter the vocation they choose.
In internships you'll have access to important arts organisations, events and galleries to enhance your curatorial, educational and administrative skills, while you will have numerous opportunities to exhibit in Deakin's own gallery spaces. Showcasing your work through festivals, exhibitions and award programs is a great way to launch your career, gain professional experience and network.
By coupling your major with units in other creative arts disciplines your design skills will be sought after in areas like marketing, media, and communications. You could work on creative designs for websites, packaging, printed material, company branding, video games, advertising, exhibitions and displays. Combining your art specialisation with teaching studies can also qualify you to teach visual arts in schools and other educational settings.
Graduates can enjoy creative roles as artists, in arts administration, curation, academic research, illustration, design, video, advertising, film production and teaching. There are further opportunities within the arts and cultural communities.
Fees and charges
Fee paying place - International (IFP)
A fee paying place is one for which the University does not receive any government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute the full cost of their course.
Fees for international students apply to persons living in Australia with Temporary Resident status, provided that there is no limitation on study and persons living abroad who are not Australian citizens and do not have Permanent Resident status in Australia.
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is the standard full time load for one year of study.
* The 'indicative annual course fee' cited has been provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking a full-time quota of units within the specified discipline.

The cost of each unit offered in 2015 can be viewed from the Unit Search.

At a time when downsizing is the trend in the manufacturing industry, a Charlotte company is expanding. Spartan Motors, a custom chassis maker, says it will spend $7.3 million to grow its operations, a move that will create 415 jobs soon in the future and possibly another 641 sometime down the road
Charlotte Mayor Ken Wirt says the expansion comes at a good time for the city. Charlotte City Manager Dennis Stark says Spartan Motors has experienced growth in recent years and the city is better economically because of it.
The expansion is possible thanks to tax credits through the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

Posted on 04/19/2012 1:22:35 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
click here to read article
FR needs to be treated like the former Constitution ,as created by the Founders, should have been...
It wouldn't bother me much, Jim. I train my eye to ignore
ads that always show up in the same place. After a while
I probably couldn't tell you a single thing about one I
had "seen" only seconds before.
It's a question really about your preference.
If it's needful and keeps us rolling then hell yeah, it won't bother me.
Personally, I wouldn't bitch about it.
Might even get snarky at those who did.
Just an idea, Jim, and that is to have a membership wherein those who are "members" can choose (if they wish) to have that reflected in their Username somehow on the site.
That would allow people to recognize at a glance that any particular poster is financially supporting the site.
It wouldn't be for better or unrestricted service, it would just be for prestige/pride/ego/bragging-rights.
Seems silly, but it might inspire others to become members themselves if they see how many regulars make monthly donations.
How about members don't have to see the ads, and non-members do?
We have enough problems without opening ourselves to finicky, often arrogant outside influence such as advertisers are.
My vote is we stay the way we are. To "H" with advertisers.
We have to all chip in more I guess. We at the ranch are at $160.00 a year with our $40.00 per quarter contribution to the cause. We might be able to crank a little more.
The horses, and the donkey are getting old, and perhaps when they pass on we'll be able to send more. Four of the cats, and one of the dogs is getting really old too. Yup, won't be long we'll be able to send more.
Just don't let them put those ads that expand at the top of the page after you've started reading then collapse after you've scrolled down to keep reading. Hate those.
FR forever.
It cant hurt to try new things. If you need funds raised for something specific, you could run small, targeted fundraisers. Nothing says you cant go back to the old model if it doesnt work.
I've thought about that too, ASB! An excellent suggestion if I don't say so myself!
That being said:
Seriously folks, this is just embarrassing, the display of hypocrisy here. We're all for doing it ourselves, and when it comes time to pony up for what we've used and enjoyed, TOO MANY of us stuff our hands into our pockets, whistle and slowly sneak away.
$5 a month, REALLY??? IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK???
I could second that motion for "FreeRepublic Premium".
Amen...I'm with you, Jim and the present system has worked.
I recommend a paid subscription not only for posters, but for anyone who wants to view any page.
Maybe $5/month?
Cheaper than getting the newspaper at your door.
I would suggest a one time private message to all who post acknowledging your appreciation for their participation and suggesting they contribute to keep the site online.
Thank you very much for your continuing support. Hoping most people prefer to just stick with what we have. It's relatively clean and uncomplicated and thanks to our devoted FReepathon teams and our beloved FReepers, lurkers and donors, it actually WORKS!
Remember too, Jim, that most modern browsers have plugins and add-ons that prevent the display of ads and pop ups. I personally use Firefox with several such add-ons, and I never see advertisements anywhere.
If it's a click-based advertising model, it might not be as profitable as you think.
Freepers that continually access the posting benefits of this site and can afford to contribute should do so ....... pronto!
Sponsoring FReepers are contributing
$10 Each time a New Monthly Donor signs up!
Get more bang for your FR buck!
Click Here To Sign Up Now!
You, snarky??
That was the nicest word I could come up with for it. ;-)
Whatever works best for you, I'm on board.
However, I might recommend that vanity posters pay a small fee of $5 per vanity thread they start.
No fee, of course, for monthly contributors above $10/month.
I vote for a $10 per month membership. All others see ads.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
- - - - - - -
Is 22% in 19 days really working?
Are there any like me who donate plenty but still the freepathons make us feel somehow bad? I don't like that they are so long — I don't like that some don't even feel guilty because I feel guilty during them even though I contribute enough.
Maybe membership with stars on our bellies would get every regular freeper to pony up? Sounds silly. But I'd always allow free participation. This is how we get the insiders and famous here, for full anonymity.
That said...I don't pay much attention to advertisement anyway.
I'd just as soon...see the non-paying FREEPER's pony up...$3 a month.
How 'bout Ads, with an option to pony up a subscription for Ad-Free...
However, I might recommend that vanity posters pay a small fee of $5 per vanity thread they start.
Then members should pony up to improve and keep this site going strong. I am member 5 hundred and something, give with paypal each month so I don't have to worry about the fund drives
God bless you for putting this out for our membership.
As a member of your FReepathon Team, please know that I am willing to keep Free Republic just like it is: completely member funded and totally independent of ads and outsiders!
I know that our FReepathons are taking a longer than in the old days, when our THONS would only take one week, but in those days our financial needs were at the amount of our Monthly Donor donations = $40K!
Whatever y'all decide, will be A-OK with me. I would prefer to keep us completely independent, but if that's not possible, then go for the least intrusive.
Pop-ups are the pits!
I have heard it said that $5 per month per user would cover things well. Come on people, get up off of it. Donate monthly.
Thank you for your incomparable vision and uncompromising conservatism.
Technical question - how do I change my monthly subscription amount?
It costs almost $2.00 to process a donation.
Except we'd already be bankrupt by the time we find out it doesn't work. We have zero surplus capital, but do have plenty of debts that must be paid on every month. We don't live hand to mouth, but we do live quarter by quarter. We have no financial cushion to fall back on and cannot afford to experiment and lose.
But I thank God for what we have and what we have accomplished as a group anyway. We were never supposed to have gotten this far. Just a group of amateurs and disgruntled citizens banding together on a simple little website to protest against Clinton's abuses. Miss him yet? He was scandal a day, but almost a comical character compared to Obama. Now we're having to fight outright Marxist/communist totalitarian tyranny in our White House!!
Damn the LEFTist bastards!! They'll have to pry my keyboard from my cold dead fingers!!
Same with me,don't even see adds on facebook.
I'm for sticking with what ya got but it is your site,your decision.
Sweetest you, Jim can better answer your question. Thanks very much, Mygirlsmom!!!
One dollar per month would cover everything if 10% of our readers would reliably put it up.
How about starting an overlapping model where you implement ads along with the fundraiser and roll in ad revenue like you roll in monthlies?
Please send me a freepmail message with your new amount and I will update it for you.
Thank you very much!!
The entry level question about advertising is how it would affect FRs legal status. Would it violate the rules FR agreed to to settle any lawsuit over posting published material? Get us into gray areas in that respect?
It's not your refusal to support Romney that's the problem.
It's your zotting everyone who says they are going to vote for Romney over Obama that's the problem especially since many of them are long-time residents here and have been loyal and generous donors.
Now, I don't like Romney. Come Tuesday, I'm voting for Gingrich. Then what?
Let's say Romney winds up being the nominee as is highly likely. You expect to have a thriving political site with discussion banned of either Romney or Obama this election year?
If Obama wins I think it's over for this nation. If Romney wins I think we are going to come back especially as how his coattails will bring in a lot of good people at the local level -- assuming of course that people who think like you (and me) don't stay home.
It's not about personalities or individuals anyway. It's about ideas and our ideas are on Romney's side.
So yes, I'm voting for Romney. Feel free to zot although I'm not asking for one.
Forget the advertising as I don't think people will be coming here with discussion banned regarding the presidential election.
If you want to save this site, what I'd suggest is you do a mea culpa and invite the Romney people back. You don't have to say you're going to support him, just that your not going to zot discussion of the guy.
I would not complain if you allow ads but I worry that the advertisers may try to throttle FR and some of our posts. Although most of our language is fine I fear the "hard" elimination of some words may lead to the elimination of certain topics to placate advertisers who have proved themselves cowards when it comes to any sort of controversy. If FR becomes too reliant on the ad sales it could lead to the demise of our free association on this site.
Our Country is sliding towards the edge of the cliff and I think FR's open debate is what is needed more than ever during these times.
Just my two cents. Take care.
Whaaa? I did not know that. Guess I'll have to add two bucks to each donation. Does that include processing each automatic monthly donantion? Does a Pay Pal donation cost $2 to process as well?
It's all up to you, Jim....I like it like it is.
Yes, it could be done. But again, we subject ourselves to the online ad market (advertising rates go up and down with the economy and sometimes tank completely) and there are no guarantees that they can sell enough ads for our account anyway. We also subject ourselves to the demands of our advertisers, put our forum at risk if we are competing with our sources for advertising revenue, puts more legal pressure on us, and lots of readers will simply take steps to avoid the ads altogether which will crimp us even further. Afraid we'll end up having to do both or several combinations of all the above forever. Hoping we can just continue to keep it simple and remain non-commercial as we are.
I'd be OK with whatever you decide to do.
As always I'm open to producing FReeper gear as long as the proceeds go to FR.

A Waterford man who killed himself during a standoff with police Monday night was a former Marine who was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, his friends said Tuesday.
Many of Justin Eldridge's fellow Marines said it was too soon to talk about the death of their "brother," who they said was also dealing with a traumatic brain injury sustained while on tour in Afghanistan.
Eldridge, 31, was the first commandant of the Thames River Detachment of the Marine Corps League in Quaker Hill.
Robert Montminy, commandant of the Thames River Detachment, said Eldridge was a good friend and great father.
"We are all very much still in shock," he said. "We're still trying to deal with it. Nobody had a clue that it could lead to this."
Montminy said he knew that Eldridge had struggled with PTSD but that Eldridge told him he was getting treatment at a Veterans Affairs hospital and was trying to turn things around.
He spoke to Eldridge about a week ago. They talked about a Toys for Tots fundraising event that Eldridge's wife, Joanna, was organizing for Nov. 8 in Groton.
"He served his country well," Montminy said. "He loved his kids."
Tom Callinan, a judge advocate for the detachment, said he met Eldridge about three years ago while performing at the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Samuel Huntington's tomb in the Norwich Colonial Cemetery.
Callinan recalled Eldridge as a natural leader. The detachment has more than 40 members, he added.
"He looked OK on the outside, but sometimes it's below the surface," Callinan said. "A lot of guys just don't talk about things like post-traumatic stress. It's very hard to digest when you see someone with so much potential, leadership die that way."
Eldridge was married with four children. His wife helped organize a fundraiser this June to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. While promoting the event, Joanna spoke of the struggles her husband had with PTSD and with his traumatic brain injury.
Waterford police said at about 8:53 p.m. Monday, they responded to 147 Great Neck Road after receiving a 911 call from within the residence to report that a man inside the dwelling was going to hurt himself.
Just prior to police receiving the 911 call, Eldridge posted on his Facebook page, "See you later Facebook!!!!!!!" He then posted, "Theres only so much bashing someone can take before they react."
When police arrived, they learned that the man, later identified as Eldridge, and four children were inside the home. Police said they believed he was armed with a gun. It was not clear whether his wife was in the house as well.
Police said they could not make contact with Eldridge, so the State Police Emergency Services Unit was contacted for assistance. The state police unit also attempted to make contact with the man, with no success.
Waterford police Lt. David Burton said police told area residents that they either had to stay in place or evacuate their homes. He said only one couple decided to leave.
Burton said that around 1 a.m., the state police unit made its way inside the residence and found Eldridge dead of an apparent self-inflicted wound.
The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said Tuesday that Eldridge died of a gunshot wound to the head and ruled the death a suicide.
The children were found unharmed and were turned over to family members. Burton said the children did not see anything.
The incident remains under investigation by the Waterford Police Department's Investigative Services Unit.
Jason Sechrist, a former senior vice commandant of the Thames River Detachment, said it had been months since he saw Eldridge.
He, too, remembered him as a focused individual with a good heart and soul.
"He was instrumental in getting the detachment started," Sechrist said. "He worked tirelessly for Toys for Tots. It was important to him and it took a better part of a year to get that organized."
