It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
MMORPG.com StarQuest Online Correspondent Allen Richardson writes this new guide focusing on the science aspect of the sci-fi MMO.
First, we will start with the equipment requirements. Every scientist needs the proper equipment and without it you can't complete your job. This is what you will require:
Sampler Probe This is the most vital tool you can have and the most important. The probe allows you to gather samples form different rocks, trees, and plants. Probes can be bought at the ShopMarts located on most major core worlds, for about 5000 credits or 4700 Prestige at Fleet Headquarters. Also when you join a crew, like StarFleet, they may supply you with one.
Vials - Here I must stress the importance of these items. In terms of a scientist, they are VERY IMPORTANT! They are the equivalent of money in the science community and without them you can't gather samples nor create chemical compounds. They can usually be found at the mart for 124 credits.

I love the science aspect of the game, there are hundreds of unique chemical types which could be created.
Some people have been able to produce some permanent attribute buffs which they sell to other players.
And then there is of course some that have really nasty effects..
"Really nasty side affects"
To bad you didn't give me one that affected my memory, or you might have got away with slipping that PSI inhiboter in my wine.
(Yes, the game does have acohol and your character can get drunk/pass out. I didn't know that at first and thought something was wrong with my comp when my char started weaving walking without me clicking anything. :P)

I can run 5 cogs-63, 66, 70, 75, and 80 gear inches. I ride the 70 and 75 most of the time. I just did an extremely flat century (400' of elevation) with the 75 gear inch. Riding with a fast group of geared riders for the first half of the ride the 75 was perfect. Riding by myself or with one or two other riders the 70 would have been better. Could have flipped the wheel but was lazy. I found out that a long flat ride on fixed gear is hard. I've come to appreciate rollers and short climbs!
42/16 or 18t road
50/15t track

so high, my heart cannot bear the strain." -A.C. Jobim, Triste
45/16 ~73 gear inches with 26 inch wheels
48/15-16 road (I don't ride track)
I read somewhere their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation.
ATM: 44x17
48x17 on the road.
48x15 on the track (first season).
50t for up front is next on the list (track). Also have a 14t that I haven't worked up to yet.
im running 48-14 on the street, but i ride very flat terrain. was on 48-13 for a little before i picked up the 14 tooth cog but it was a hoss of a gear.
I'm riding 42/16 or 42/14 on my commuter.
"Your beauty is an aeroplane;
so high, my heart cannot bear the strain." -A.C. Jobim, Triste
42/16 on 406 wheels.
I don't remember the ratio but 100 rpm = 20mph.
52/15 fixed on the flats.
42/17 SS commuter. I have hills.
05 Giant TCR Composite; 83 Colnago Saronni; 81 San Rensho Katana Super Export track #A116-56; 97 GT Zaskar; 89 Zunow Pentaglia: SOLD; 85 Tommasini: SOLD; 83 Guerciotti: SOLD
46/15 fixed. Tokyo is pretty flat.
"Your beauty is an aeroplane;
so high, my heart cannot bear the strain." -A.C. Jobim, Triste
54 x 16 on the streets and hopefully, when I get home, on the track as well. Thinking about picking up a 14 just for fun to switch out once in a while. 54 x 16 is actually not that bad. In fact, I don't know if I could go back to 48 x 16. I like the top speed. I'm a little slower on steeper hills but average hills I'm okay climbing. Should get a little better once I get new pedals and shoes too.
New Chainring.jpg
Yeah bro, 90 gear inches is my sweet spot for climbing too.
I've already mentioned this on some other threads but currently running 53x16 @ 87 GI. I'm actually thinking about gearing down back to 46x16 because of the wind and my legs forgot how to spin after half a year of mashing.
Are stupid big gears cool again?
Well I know that I'm not doing it for style, my commuter looks dumb (mini aero bars, aero brake levers, water bottle cage, anatomic drops, freewheel, etc). I purpose built my cheap commuter for a high-ish cruise speed since I commute to work on a long flat straight and I hate waking up early.
Plus, I only weigh about 135, my starting inertia is far less than most riders.
^^Not a fashionista.

Additional Information
Important InformationThis loan provides farmers and low-income entrepreneurs from underserved rural areas with access to financial services. By supporting this loan, you allow more farmers and rural entrepreneurs to access capital.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

As the members of the Center Grove High School marching band practice their music and marching, their parents work to raise money to make sure all of them get to go to New York City in November.
Parents already pay $650 to $725 for their child to be a Center Grove Marching Trojan or color guard member. Nine days after the regular season ends, the band will travel to New York City to march in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
More than 175 marching bands from around the world applied to march in the parade, and Center Grove was one of 12 selected.
The opportunity is great, but the cost is steep for the 165 band members and their families, band parents Lisa and Steve Kimbro said.
The cost per student for the trip is $1,250, which covers transportation, lodging, food and other costs. Buses will take the students and their equipment to New York City. The students will travel on the road for two nights, and the tentative itinerary calls for a three-night stay at a hotel in the city.
That brings the total cost of this year's marching season to between $1,900 and $1,975 for each band member. Lisa Kimbro, vice president of fundraising for the band boosters, said she knows not every family can afford that cost, which is why the band is conducting a special fundraiser to raise money for the trip.
The band members and their parents are selling raffle tickets for cash prizes throughout the fall, and one winner from the raffle will win a new $30,000 car.
The hope is that band members and parents will sell enough tickets to put $200 to $800 toward each student's expenses, Kimbro said.
If the band doesn't raise enough money, then some members of the band may not be able to go to New York, according to Kimbro and band director Kevin Schuessler.
"We're doing as much as we can to help the kids, to help the parents," Kimbro said.
Center Grove already has fundraisers such as car washes and shifts working at the high school concession stand to help parents with the cost of the regular marching season. Without those fundraisers, the cost for every student in the band would be closer to $1,000, Kimbro said.
For the raffle, the band is selling tickets for $40 each or three for $100. Cash prizes of $400 will be drawn on Friday, Sept. 19 and Sept. 26, and a grand prize drawing for the car will be Oct. 11.
To cover the cost of the car and make money, parents and band members need to sell at least 1,500 tickets.
That would yield about $200 per student to pay for part of the trip, Kimbro said.
The goal is for the band to sell 4,000 tickets, which would provide about $800 for each student, Kimbro said.
So far, 370 tickets have been sold, Kimbro said.
Kimbro also is looking for corporate sponsors for the trip, and companies that contribute to the band could receive advertising space on one of the band's two equipment trailers. About $3,000 in sponsorships have been collected for the trip and will be divided among the students, though some companies have scoffed at the notion of contributing to Center Grove's band, as they believe the members already can afford to make the trip, Kimbro said.
If anyone she meets is skeptical about donating, Kimbro tells them she wants to ensure all of the band members have a chance to travel to New York and perform in the parade.
"What a once-in-a-lifetime experience," she said.

Cowboys get off to another quick start with 49 first-half points
LUBBOCK, Texas — Jamie Blatnick couldn't help noticing the Texas Tech crowd.
This is a fan base known for extreme behavior, and yet, the Oklahoma State defensive end was still shocked by what he witnessed Saturday.
Red Raider fans were leaving in the second quarter.
"I was like, 'Man,'" Blatnick said, eyes wide.
He nodded.
"That's good. That's what we wanted."
Those early departures were a direct result of the Cowboys' quick start. A three-touchdown lead after one quarter ballooned to a seven-touchdown blowout by halftime.
When all was said and done, the Cowboys had a 66-6 victory and their 10th consecutive win on the road.
Quick starts like Saturday's have become a hallmark of this road winning streak. With the exception of the Texas A&M game this season, OSU has led by at least two touchdowns at halftime of every road game.
"It's big," Blatnick said of fast starts. "If you jump on 'em and stay after 'em, they'll start realizing, 'I don't think we can play with them.'"
That thought had to go through the Red Raiders' heads Saturday. The OSU defense forced punts on Texas Tech's first three possessions while the OSU offense scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions.
The only possession that didn't end in a Cowboy touchdown instead ended in a Red Raider fumble on the punt.
After OSU went up 21-0, Texas Tech melted down.
An interception led to a touchdown.
A fumble on the ensuing kickoff led to a fumble recovery in the end zone for a touchdown.
"The way our offense is playing, they can just go score and score and score," Cowboy defensive coordinator Bill Young said. "It's demoralizing for that opponent."
But how have the Cowboys managed so many fast starts, especially when they're on the road in a hostile environment?
"Just focusing in on the game plan," Cowboy linebacker Shaun Lewis said. "They don't run anything new that our coaches haven't shown us already, so we just focus in those first couple series. That really sets the tempo for the rest of the game."
Starting well is a focus whether on the road or at home.
"Any time we take the field, we try to start fast," Lewis said. "Even in practice, we try to warm up fast so the next period can be even faster."
Safe to say, they did. With the Cowboys leading 35-0 early in the second quarter, some Red Raider fans headed for the exits.
Texas Tech fans weren't the only ones affected by OSU's big early lead.
"Those last two plays before the half," Lewis said of a couple Texas Tech snaps, "one of the D tackles told me that the center told him the play. It was going to be a draw twice."
Lewis raised an eyebrow as if in answer to how important quick starts are.
"What else can you say?"
Oklahoma State ran its road winning streak to 10 games with a 66-6 victory at Texas Tech. Quick starts like the one the Cowboys had Saturday have become an important part of winning games on the road. Here's a look at the games in the streak and how the Cowboys started them:
* Texas Tech: OSU led 21-0 after the first quarter and 49-0 at halftime.
Quick start: Yes
* Missouri: OSU led 14-3 at the end of the first quarter and took a 21-3 lead early in the second.
Quick start: Yes
* Texas: The Cowboys took a 7-0, then answered a Longhorn touchdown for a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. The Cowboys led 21-10 at halftime.
Quick start: Yes
* Texas A&M: The Cowboys trailed 20-3 at halftime.
Quick start: No
* Tulsa: After giving up an early field goal, the Cowboys led 21-3 early in the second quarter.
Quick start: Yes
* Kansas: The Cowboys trailed 7-0 early, then 14-10 at the end of the first quarter.
Quick start: No
* Texas: This game was tied 3-3 after the first quarter, but OSU rallied and led 26-3 at halftime.
Quick start: Yes
* Kansas State: The Wildcats led 7-0, then stayed close and trailed the Cowboys only 17-7 at halftime.
Quick start: No
* Texas Tech: OSU led 21-0 after the first quarter.
Quick start: Yes
* Louisiana-Lafayette: An early 10-0 lead evaporated as the Cowboys trailed 21-17 at halftime.
Quick start: No

Replace your intranet software
Why does your Intranet inhibit collaboration? The clue is in the word. In most commercial and government organizations, your Intranet Portal is protected from unauthorized external access by means of a network gateway and firewall. That makes it slow and sometimes impossible to collaborate with third parties, such as contractors, agencies or partners.

PICTORIAL OF THE FATE OF CAPTAIN COOK

In his honour, the small and nearly non-descript town, named after this acclaimed discoverer, will stand as an ever present reminder of his role in Hawai'i History.
His Voyages of Discovery cannot be ignored when discussing the enchanting Islands of the Pacific nor will his memory ever be forgotten. It is fitting to review his journey in search of OWYHEE which is how the Mariners of the day spoke of these Islands. These brought him richly deserved recognition and his tragic death. The mysteries of Fate often accompany Fame.

Jones has no new injury or suspension worries but striker Connor Wickham, who scored last weekend's winner at Leicester, has returned to parent club Sunderland so there could be a role for Gary Madine or Jermaine Johnson.
Jones will still be without midfielder Giles Coke, who missed out last week due to a foot injury.
Defender Reda Johnson returned to the starting line-up at Leicester, lasting an hour after missing the previous six games with a foot injury and he is expected to resume against Cardiff.
Midfield pair Rhys McCabe and Jose Semedo are pushing for recalls as Wednesday look to increase the four-point gap between themselves and the relegation zone.

Why the POG collapse rocks for small agencies
by Adam Kleinberg
This morning I wrote a post in Ad Age on why the collapse of the merger between industry giants Omnicom and Publicis is great for small agencies. This was a follow up to another story I wrote nine months ago on why the merger itself was great for small agencies.
Clearly there's a trend here. No matter what the big guys do, it's good for us. Because they are clueless.

The topic was the proliferation of data and the impact it's had on creative and agency relationships overall.
Phil Jackson gets tai chi for business
by Adam Kleinberg
"Duh," you might say.
That the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson intuitively gets the principles of tai chi for business I've been discussing may seem like a no brainer. He's the zen guy after all, the man that taught Jordan, Shaq and Kobe to meditate. The guy who zenned his way to a mind-blowing eleven NBA championships.

I was recently struck by a post in my Facebook feed from Sandra Lopez, who runs global marketing at Intel and has been a leader in Intel's push into fashion and wearables. Here's the post:

The shadowy world of data
by Adam Kleinberg
I was recently interviewed by Matt Kapko from CIO Magazine for a piece called Inside the Shadowy World of Data Brokers. In it, I explain how data has become an essential part of the marketing mix. Ironically, this is evidenced by the fact that CIO Magazine now has a reporter covering digital marketing.
Matt had shared with me a 60 Minutes story on "The Data Brokers Selling Your Personal Information." It paints a pretty scary and sinister picture. Morally, I am strongly opposed to abuses of privacy. I really find it unsettling that Axciom will sell you information on things like how much I paid for my mortgage—and according to 60 Minutes—what kind of psychological disabilities I might be suffering from (as if my writing hasn't exposed them to you already).

Uncertainty as EU talks resume
Analysis: It's difficult to say with precision where the negotiation will go but the sense as EU leaders return to the summit chamber to attempt to agree a new seven-year financial plan is that the real talking is imminent.
European Council president Herman Van Rompuy tabled a compromise proposal around midnight and, without substantive discussion, sent the leaders away for a night's sleep. They're back the building again now, primed for action but facing what could be long journey into the night.
No-one really knows whether there will be a deal. In spite of gloomy remarks early this morning from German chancellor Angela Merkel, European officials say it's only now that the true engagement gets under way.
It is widely acknowledged in the Justus Lipsius complex that the latest Van Rompuy draft goes nowhere close to meeting the demands of British prime minister David Cameron. By the same token, the argument goes that there is much scope for compromise for later in the talks.
"There's still plenty left in the tank and there's a large centre of gravity behind last night's proposal," said one summit insider.
To the suggestion that many countries are displeased with the latest proposal, this person argues that that is not so bad "so long as everyone is equally unhappy".
Others however are more downbeat. "I think they'll call it a day today. I think they are too far apart,"said another summit participant.
It's that kind of a scene. What the new draft does is to set the ball rolling again after prolonged bilateral engagements.
By putting €7.7 billion back into the agriculture budget and €11 billion, Van Rompuy is trying to appease two discrete coalitions.
The first of these includes the agriculture-loving France and its allies such as Ireland and Italy. The second corrals the less wealthy countries of southern and eastern Europe who rely heavily cohesion to modernise their economies.
While the feeling right now is that there may – just – be enough here to bring French president François Hollande on board, Mr Van Rompuy may have to go further still to reel in the deal.
The latest proposal is not altogether bad for Taoiseach Enda Kenny, but it still points to a cut in Ireland's allocation from the Common Agricultural Policy.
The original plan from the European Commission would erode the CAP by 9 per cent and Mr Van Rompuy's initial demand was for a further 6 per cent, or €25 billion. As it stands, the cut over the Commission proposal would still be in excess of €17 billion.
While the exact impact for Ireland remains unclear, the basic principle in this arena is remains the same: the bigger the overall cut the bigger the threat to Dublin's allocation.
In this light, there's still purchase to be had for Mr Kenny and Mr Hollande.
Similarly, summit sources say it's not altogether a given that the countries in the "Friends of Cohesion" group will flock to the new plan. "There's a lot of them and there's a range of views," the summit insider says. Although Van Rompuy has obliterated almost half his proposed cut, he may have to yield yet more.
He has funded these two reduced cuts by taking from the "Connecting Europe" transport and energy initiative, as well as from the allocation for external relations and from the "Horizon 2020" research scheme.
But a deal is not yet within his grasp. The biggest question of all centres of British prime minister David Cameron. The sense in summit-land is that Van Rompuy has done nothing to appease Cameron in the new draft.
For one thing, the overall size of the €1.036 trillion budget commitment remain the same as in the previous proposal. The €80 billion cut from the Commission's proposal remains intact, but no more than that.
For another, Van Rompuy has not touched his existing proposal to scrape €500 million from the EU's administration budget for 2014-2020. This is hot topic for Downing Street but EU Commission chief José Manuel Barroso is not wont to give ground.
German observers of the fray say Mr Van Rompuy and Mr Barroso will have to go much further than that to bring Cameron on board. The saying goes in the corridors here that there's "not even a glimpse of hope" for him in the latest plan.
But this is still a relatively early in the game. As the talks resume, Mr Van Rompuy's midnight gambit looks like an attempt to square off tricky but soluble items first before delving into the really difficult stuff.
Mr Cameron may decide that it is better to cut and run, collapsing the deal but receiving a hero's welcome from the Tory Eurosceptics. He may feel, however, that this would be bad for relations with his coalition partners in the Liberal Democrats.
A year after his veto on the Fiscal Treaty, the British leader may also be reluctant to antagonise his EU partners relations ahead of the next summit - in three week's time - in which the they will seek to finalise the their "banking union" plan. Mr Cameron has a big interest in that particular debate.
This a complex picture with many moving parts. There are 28 countries to be satisfied – the 27 existing members of the union plus Croatia, which joins next year. Everyone has something to gain or lose. Right now, for example, the feeling in Italian circles is that Rome stands to rank among the biggest of all losers. Can Mario Monti accept that? Hardly.
Any deal must also win the support of the European Parliament. For the package to go ahead, it requires approval from an absolute majority of MEPs. Martin Schulz, president of the parliament, sounded a warning note when he met the leaders last night. "Advocating cuts in the EU budget may be popular, but it is hugely irresponsible," he said.
"We, the representatives of the peoples of Europe, are categorically opposed to the freezing of the EU budget, let alone to cuts in that budget."

On the evidence of a working spouse penalty in the managerial labor market
This analysis of March 1993 Current Population Survey data suggests that managers with working wives earn lower wages than their counter-parts with non-working wives. The labor supply decisions of managers' wives appear to be unaffected by (that is, "exogenous" with respect to) their husbands' wages. In contrast, there is evidence that the labor supply decisions of non-managers' wives are affected by their husbands' wages, and when the analysis takes account of that endogeneity, it is found that non-managers do not suffer a working spouse penalty. The analysis also highlights some important issues related to the use of instrumental variables. (Abstract courtesy JSTOR.)

Fits, but inconvenient
I purchased these to install some extra speakers in my 2001 VW Golf GLS, and although they do technically fit, they take up a considerable amount of space. They stick out far enough that I had to bend my leg to reach my clutch pedal. I removed them, and they will not be going back in.
Pros: Fits. Easy install.
Cons: Occupies too much space in the footwell.

Why She's On Our Radar: Despite not winning an award at Sundance for her breakout turn in "Compliance," Craig Zobel's acclaimed and controversial drama, 26-year-old actress Dreama Walker gave what was arguably one of the bravest performances in Park City this year.
In "Compliance," Walker stars as Becky, a young fast food employee who is accused of stealing from a customer after a man, under the guise of a police officer, calls the restaurant demanding to speak to her manager Sandra (Ann Dowd). What follows is a horrific true account of how the mystery caller managed to convince the young woman's supervisor (as well as others asked to help out) to commit a number of physically invasive acts, including sexual assault.
READ MORE: Combative New York Premiere of 'Compliance' Latest Victim of the Most Provocative Film of the Year
Walker is best known for her supporting role on the ABC sitcom "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" and for appearing opposite Clint Eastwood in "Gran Torino," but "Compliance" marks her biggest on-screen role to date -- and her most challenging. As Becky, Walker is given the difficult task of engendering sympathy from the audience while also making them believe that her character would go along with what's demanded of her. She hits it out of the park, matching the lauded work of Dowd, a veteran character actress.
What's Next: Her latest film "The Kitchen," co-starring Bryan Greenberg and Laura Prepon, recently closed the GenArt Film Festival in New York. "I have a couple of little things here and there," Walker tells Indiewire, "and then I'm going back to the show ('Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23') at the end of next week."
How did Craig sell the premise to you initially?
Well it was kind of a funny story how it all happened. I was on the set of "The Sitter" one day, directed by his friend David Gordon Green. David was checking his phone and checking his email and came over to me and was like, "Hey your name just got thrown in the bowl for a movie that I'm producing." And I was like, "Ooooh! Pick me!" -- trying to make him feel uncomfortable. And he said, "Well, it's really not anything like this. It's very dark." And I was like, "I can do dark!" I had no idea what it was about, and obviously we didn't really go into it because we were at work. Then I got wind of what the story was about, and I remembered the incident when it happened in 2004, and this always kind of resonated with me as something that I thought was intriguing and fascinating. I read the script, and I thought Craig had done a really fantastic job of telling this story and also that it was going to come from a really cool perspective. And that it was going to try to fill in the gaps of these true events that took place and how they all got there. I felt a tremendous desire to be a part of the whole discussion and justification of how my character did what she did.
How scared were you to take this role on?
Terrified, to be honest. I knew that psychologically it was going to be taxing. I knew that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park. People still would have a hard time believing! We had to really bring a lot of truth to it and make it really, really believable.
How did you make Becky's actions believable for yourself? So many folks have walked out of this film going, "Well I would never go along with that."
Well, Craig and I had a lot of really honest, open discussions about a lot of similar situations with it; lower-stakes ones that were more meaningless and trivial. Experiences in our lives where we'd been accused of something that we weren't guilty of and there came a certain point where someone that you know and have a relationship with is accusing you of something. All of a sudden you find yourself second guessing yourself. We had discussions about how it's very primal and evolved for people to go along with something because everyone else is doing it.
Whether it's something as simple as going into a conversation with a lady on the street, and then before you know it she's sold you 300 dollars worth of clothing and you're buying it even though you don't need it or want it. Those things happen almost on a daily basis. We're all put in situations where we do something because we think that we're supposed to, or we think that we have to. To me that was incredibly intriguing. Also I wanted to connect the dots from A to B and explain how it got there for my character.

"Pitigliano - a town of interest" Pitigliano by iandsmith
Pitigliano Travel Guide: 37 reviews and 83 photos
This town of over 4,000 inhabitants lies, rather obviously as seen in the photo, on a hilltop in southern Tuscany yet has a more medieval feel than a lot of the other more famous hilltop towns.
Houses draped over sheer cliffs make for a dramatic entrance to the place from the Sovana end as you rise via the hairpin bends to the top.
All the while, in the Sovana-Sorana-Pitigliano triangle you are passing by the richest Etruscan sites in Italy which, I have to admit, is what brought me here originally.
Though Sovana is the highlight in Etruscan terms there are still many evocative sites here from the B.C. period though the town itself is distinctly medieval, distinctly Orsini. This town also has many interesting walks and, to see it properly, you should allocate a minimum of at least one full day.
You won't find the crowds of the more famous hilltop towns though a smattering of tourists have discovered the place. One of the more interesting were the ones I met in Piazza della Repubblica. I quote here from my emails:
At some time before midday I was hungry in Pitigliano. At sometime before 1p.m. I was still hungry in Pitigliano. 5 trattoria or restaurants I had spied and not one was open (shades of Vienna). Well, actually one was open but as I pushed the door ajar it was obvious by the lack of light and the Bain Marie blocking the entrance that they were renovating. Thus it was that I found myself in a piazza eyeing off the Orsini Palace when some well-attired gentlemen of similar age approached me seeking directions. Luckily we all spoke English and, even more fortunate, I knew the answer to their query re a bridge. Upon my return query, they elaborated that they were from Israel doing a tour of Jewish ghettoes. Offhand I asked if they knew of any cafe that was open as I was starving, whereupon their leader took off his backpack, opened it and proffered me a bread roll with tomato. Having bad me to eat it I reflected that this could be the start of my conversion. I have broken bread with the Jews. Hallelujah!
- Pros:Variety of history, easy to get around
- In a nutshell:If you like history, go there

what a fascinating page
Very good info. We will visit next week.
Pitigliano is always a good stop for a panino con porchetta on the way back to home from Montefiascone!
What a beautiful place Ian, looks so unspoilt & romantic. Interesting history, loved the bread story (~_~)
Sounds like a fascinating little place Ian. Like the breaking bread story too mate! Off north in about 1/2 so hour better get off the internet soon!
The location itself looks awesome! The aqueduct as well.

Your Refurb: Upgrading the Interior »
One of the centerpieces of any aircraft refurb is upgrading the interior. It can be as basic as recovering the seats, but usually involves a complete redo of the headliner, side panels, carpet and upholstery. As the insulation is often stripped out and replaced as well, it's a good time to install soundproofing. More

Love at First Cut
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Sheredian Vickers
When the Cricut Expression made its debut, I didn't see any reason to get it because I already owned a Cricut Personal Cutter and it did everything I thought I needed. I had held off a long time before investing in a die-cut machine, and when I finally got a Cricut, I thought that was all I would ever need. Wrong! One day while cropping at the local scrapbook store, one of the ladies was demonstrating the Expression and I went WOW! I immediately began to plan a place for the Expression in my crop room, put an ad to sell my little bug, and the rest is history.
The Cricut Expression is more than just a personal cutter. It cuts chipboard, material, cork, plastic, transparencies, and probably other things that I have not yet tried. It works such wonders with paper that you really don't need to buy embellishments since you can cut your own. Cartridges, though a bit pricey, can always be bought at bargain prices when they are on sale, and they always are on sale somewhere!
From fancy cuts to basic cuts, this is a must-have. I especially like the fact that cuts can be sized to whatever size I need, and I can always get the perfect shadow image if I want it. The Cricut Expression was one of the best craft investments I've made.
Here are a couple of layouts I designed using the Expression.

Fossil leaves from the Middle Miocene Savage Canyon Formation, Nevada. Top specimen is 22mm long and belongs to a Mountain Mahogany, genus Cercocarpus; leaf at bottom is a Catalina Ironwood, 58mm in stem length, genus Lyonothamnus, a species that was quite common throughout the ancestral Great Basin region during Miocene times, but is now restricted solely to the Channel Islands off the coast of southern California. Lyonothamnus A. Gray from the later Cenozoic Era of North America has recently been completely revised by Dr. Diane Erwin and Howard Schorn of the University California Museum Of Paleontology.

Two high-profile mishaps involving private spacecraft last week have sparked new debate about whether the government should increase its oversight and regulation of a fledgling industry tackling complicated, risky ventures.
Eric Stallmer, president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, said the private space industry remains a safely run sector. He called the two accidents in the space of three days "a terrible coincidence," and said he can't think of any new rule or additional oversight that would have prevented either mishap. Full article.

Texas, SpaceX announce spaceport deal near Brownsville
August 4 via Houston Chronicle
August 4 via Houston Chronicle
Gov. Rick Perry and SpaceX made it official Monday, announcing that the rocket company will build a spaceport on the coast near Brownsville. A combination of financial incentives, pro-business climate and favorable geography wooed the California-based company, and its spaceport furthers the ambitions of Texas to become a major player in the 21st century commercial space industry. As Texas seeks to build a nucleus of private space businesses, a SpaceX spaceport should further galvanize interest in the state as a place that is friendly not only to NASA but commercial companies as well. "It's clear that competition to attract commercial space companies is hot and getting hotter," said Michael Lopez-Alegria, a four-time astronaut and president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation. "It's not rocket science. An attractive financial package, whether it's cash, offsets, tax advantages or something else, carries a lot of weight." Full article
Space Business Rising, Experts Say
July 28 via EE Times
July 28 via EE Times
Emerging efforts to forge a business out of exploring space are making progress, but the sector still has — literally — a long way to go, according to a panel of experts. Private sector companies are now actively resupplying the International Space Station at a fraction of the cost of prior government services. The next big milestone will come when NASA awards contracts for its Orion manned space vehicle programs. The commercial space movement has come a long way since it was perceived as a bunch of "tin-foil-wearing twinkies," said Michael Lopez-Alegria, president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation. But companies need to be "steel eyed" about safety. "We still have to demonstrate success. You won't make money if you hurt people," he said. Full article

Ten years ago the space industry consisted of two companies, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, and it cost the government $500 million for each Shuttle launch. Today, Kellie explained, there are 40 companies who make up the federation membership and dozens more who provide supporting services for spaceflight. "And now," she said, "SpaceX can conduct a launch for only $54 million." Full article

When trying to assemble the BBQ, the handles on the doors would not fit properly. Ended up leaving a spacer off because it was impossible to install. I used the grill for one season and the ceramic coating started flaking off of the grill surface, exposing rust. Overall, I would have to say that the fit and finish of this grill are poor, and the durability is extremely poor. I did not get good value for the money in purchasing this grill and would highly recommend that anybody considering… Read Full Review

Jeffrey ChisumAssociate Professor (Teaching) of Writing
Contact Information
E-mail: email@example.com
Phone: (213) 740-1980
Office: JEF 150
Biographical Sketch
Jeffrey Chisum holds degrees in Cinematic Arts, English (magna cum laude), and Literature & Creative Writing. As a teacher of writing, he specializes in curriculum development and assignment design, and was responsible for creating and implementing the General Education course, WRIT 150: Issues in Aesthetics. In 2013, he was awarded "Master Teacher" status by the USC Writing Program's Mentoring Committee.
His work as a teacher and scholar is multifaceted: in the field of Rhetoric and Composition, he is principal investigator in a study called "The Genuine 'A'": a project which is closely examining the textual qualities, evaluative practices, and institutional values associated with 'A'-level student writing. The research hopes to gain a better understanding of how the best student writing gets produced and singled out for recognition, with an eye towards implementing better pedagogical practices.
In the field of literary studies, Dr. Chisum—who is a native son of rural Nevada—focuses on the literature, mythology, and culture of the American West, with a special expertise on the Great Basin region. Some of his more recent scholarship has explored notions of illness and memory in the work of Reno poet Joanne de Longchamps; mysticism and the desert in Roberto Bolaño's epic border novel 2666; and the notion of "western tragedy" as exemplified by the television series Breaking Bad. His essay, "The Lost Works of Walter Van Tilburg Clark," which assessed the unpublished work of the Nevada novelist, appeared in the journal Western American Literature. He was also commissioned by Nevada Humanities to write the entry on "Nevada Noir" for the Online Nevada Encyclopedia, and each spring he teaches a Freshman Seminar called, "The Myth of the American West."
On campus, he has served extensively on a variety of committees, including the Academic Senate, the Senate Nominating Committee, and the USC Committee on Non-Tenure-Track Faculty Affairs. In the 2014-2015 academic year, he was Secretary for Dornsife College Faculty Council, and in the 2015-2016 year, he will serve as Vice President of the Council.
He is also a fiction writer, and his short stories have appeared in L.A. Weekly, The Mississippi Review, Literary Nevada, and elsewhere.

text: Much of North Carolina has received beneficial rainfall over the past few months. The rain has alleviated the severe drought conditions that were prevalent across western North Carolina. In fact, the western two-thirds of the state have normal soil conditions at this point. The only region of the state considered dry is along and east of Interstate 95. The area east of a Raleigh to Fayetteville line is still considered abnormally dry. Rainfall at the WITN Weather Station is only 2 inches below normal for the year, which is much better than in previous years. However, more rainfall is needed to help out the dry soil conditions in eastern North Carolina. Little rain is expected until the weekend or early next week when scattered thunderstorms should move into the area as a weak cold front drops into the area.
