Leah Remini's Scientology Interview On '20/20′: Will Katie Holmes Appear?
Katie Holmes has never spoken out about how Scientology impacted her relationship and her life — until now that is. Dan Harris, who conducted the sit-down with Leah Remini to air on '20/20,' revealed that Katie will also make an appearance — and will apologize to Leah for 'upsetting her in the past.'

You are evil," Leah Remini said in a new preview for her interview all about scientology and her decision to leave the church in 2013. The King of Queens star has been very vocal about her love, then hate, for the church — including her relationship with Tom's ex, Katie Holmes.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

M&S Says Sustainability 'Plan A' Cash Positive
In its latest sustainability report, How We Do Business, Marks & Spencer says that in January 2007 it was prepared to invest £200m over five years in its sustainability plan, Plan A, but cost savings made on climate change and waste initiatives have already made it cash positive.
M&S says that 39 of the 100 commitments under Plan A have been completed and that, of these, 24 of the targets have been raised.
The new report puts the environment front and center. Retailers, according to recent research from Covalence, have entered a new age of corporate citizenship in which not only working conditions but environmental impacts of production and products are playing a large role on reputation. M&S ranked at number one as the most reputable company in the eyes of British consumers in the UK rankings of the Global Reputation Pulse Study 2009 published by the Reputation Institute.
Some highlights of the M&S report:
After 12 months, the decision to charge 5p for single use food carrier bags has cut the use of the bags by 83% from 464 million to 77 million bags – the £1.2m profit generated from the charge has gone to the environmental charity Groundwork.
The company, which aims to make its operations in the UK and Republic of Ireland carbon neutral, only using offsetting as a last resort, has reduced CO2 emissions in its stores, offices, warehouses and delivery vehicles by nearly 100,000 tonnes, an 18% decrease on our 2006/7 baseline. At the same time, M&S has increased store space by 10%.
The company and npower have signed the UK retail sector's biggest renewable energy contract. The six year deal will see npower provide M&S with 2.6 TWh of renewable electricity from April 2009 – enough to ultimately power all of the retailer's stores and offices in England and Wales.
The company says that last year it used around 37million two-litre bottles to make polyester, which is used in its homeware and bedding as well as in polyester garments and re-usable shopping bags.
It also helped one of its Chinese suppliers open the latest green factory in its supply chain (that makes four). The factory uses around 40% less water and power than a standard comparable garment factory. It also features a grass roof as well as solar light pipes.

This application is the National Phase of International Application PCT/IB01/01233 filed Jul. 10, 2001 which designated the U.S. and that International Application was published under PCT Article 21(2) in English.
The present invention relates to a method for packing cigarettes in soft packets. The invention can be advantageously applied to machines for making packets of cigarettes, to which the specification below refers but without thereby restricting the scope of the invention.
Normally, soft cigarette packets have a substantially parallelepipedal shape and consist of a first, complete inner wrap made of paper or metallised paper (foil), placed right around a group of cigarettes, also parallelepipedal in shape, and a second, outer wrap or label.
The second wrap is made from a length of wrapping material, usually paper, having two longitudinal edges and placed partly around the first wrap in such a way as to leave the top face of the latter free, to form the front, the rear and the two sides of the packet, and is also folded at the bottom of the first, inner wrap to form the bottom of the packet.
Once the second wrap or label has been folded around the first wrap, the label presents a free longitudinal edge extending along a defined perimetric portion transversal to the packet and adjacent to its top face, made of foil.
Normally, there is a revenue stamp applied in such a way as to straddle the top of the inner wrap, with its two ends glued at the top edge of the label.
The surface of the label is designed to be visible and is usually printed with decorative patterns and logos, forming a distinctive coloured graphical design, identifying the brand and the organoleptic properties of the cigarettes inside the packet.
Lastly, cigarette packets of this type are usually also wrapped and sealed with a protective overwrap made from transparent plastic film, for example, polypropylene, equipped with a tear strip designed to enable the overwrap to be easily torn in order to gain access to the outer wrap to open the packets.
The packing machines used to make the soft packets described above essentially comprise a packing line along which the preformed groups of cigarettes are fed to a packing station where a corresponding length of paper or metallised paper is folded and wrapped around each group of cigarettes to form the inner wrap. Next, each group of cigarettes enclosed by the first wrap is fed to a second packing line where a corresponding label is folded around the first wrap enclosing the group of cigarettes. When the packing operations have been completed, and the revenue stamp has been applied, the soft packets are usually fed to another machine which wraps and seals each single packet with the protective overwrap made of transparent plastic film.
Soft cigarette packets consisting of a single wrap are also known. The single wrap presents a printed section with a well-defined coloured graphical design constituting the label and designed to wrap the four lateral surfaces and one bottom of a group of cigarettes, and a second section having the appearance of metal foil designed to cover the top of the cigarette group. Packets of this kind have obvious economic advantages not only because they save wrapping material but also because the packing machines used to make them are much simpler than the conventional machine described above.
Further, U.S. Pat. No. 4,508,218 discloses a soft packet consisting of a single, one-piece blank, also presenting a first printed section constituting the label and designed to wrap the four lateral surfaces and one bottom of a group of cigarettes, and a second section having the appearance of metal foil and designed to cover the top end of the cigarette group.
At the line dividing the first section from the second, and along its full length, the blank has a Z-fold made by folding by 180° over each other two longitudinal portions of the blank at said dividing line and placing them over one another to form a reinforced portion along the dividing line itself. Once the blank made in this way is folded and wrapped around the cigarette group, the reinforced portion is located at and adjacent to the top of the packet right around its transversal perimeter. This type of Z-fold, besides strengthening the packet, also simulates the presence of an inner wrap and gives the packet the appearance of a traditional soft packet with two wraps.
Obviously, the blank of wrapping material used to make this type of packet must be considerably wider than a blank that does not have a Z-fold of the this kind. This means that a considerable amount of additional material is required, thus significantly increasing production costs.
The present invention has for an object to provide a soft packet made from a single wrap capable of simulating the presence of inner and outer wraps to make it look like a traditional soft packet with two wraps, and requiring less paper wrapping material than the single-wrap packets taught by prior art, described briefly above, while at the same time having portions which reinforce the packet itself.
Another object of the present invention is to be able to use in a simple and cost-effective manner the packing machines of simplified type to carry out all the stages in the production of the packet.
Accordingly, the invention provides a method for packing cigarettes in soft packets comprising a single wrap having a first section constituting the label and partially wrapping a corresponding group of cigarettes, of a substantially parallelepipedal shape, to form the front, rear, two sides and bottom of the packet, and a second section which wraps the rest of the cigarette group to form the top face of the packet; the method being characterised in that it comprises the following steps: feeding along a first portion of a packing machine a first and a second web of wrapping material; overlapping and sealing the first web to the second web along corresponding join portions so as to obtain a single sealed web; cutting the sealed web transversely into separate blanks, each one forming a single wrap of the packet; and folding and wrapping each single blank around a corresponding group of cigarettes to make a soft, single-wrap packet.
The present invention also relates to a soft, single-wrap packet.
Accordingly, the invention provides a soft cigarette packet comprising a single wrap of wrapping material having a first section constituting the label and partially wrapping a corresponding group of cigarettes, of a substantially parallelepipedal shape, to form the front, rear, two sides and bottom of the packet, and a second section which wraps the rest of the cigarette group to form the top face of the packet, the first section being delimited by the second section along a defined perimetric portion adjacent to the packet top; the packet being characterised in that the single wrap consists of a single blank comprising a first length and a second length of wrapping material obtained from a first and a second web of wrapping material; the first length being juxtaposed and sealed to the second length along corresponding join and seal portions which, when the packet is finished, are located along the aforementioned perimetric portion adjacent to the top face of the packet
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of it and in which:
With reference to
The packet 1 presents a first printed section 10, which constitutes the so-called label 11, which is wrapped around the group 3 of cigarettes 4 to cover the lateral faces 5, 6 and the bottom 8 but not the top 9, so as to form a front 12, a rear 13, two sides 14 and a bottom 15 of the packet 1, and a second section 16 that looks like metal foil which is wrapped around the top 9 of the group 3 to form a top face 17 of the packet 1.
As shown in
As shown in
The first length 20 is used to wrap the four lateral faces 5, 6 and the end face 7 forming the bottom 8 of a corresponding group 3 of cigarettes, to constitute a corresponding label 11 for the wrap 2 and hence for the resulting packet 1 obtained when the blank 18 has been completely wrapped around the group 3, while the second length 21 is used to wrap the other end face 7 forming the top 9 of the group 3, to constitute the top face 17 of the wrap 2 and hence of the resulting packet 1.
As shown in
As shown in
In one embodiment, the two webs 25 and 36, are made from the same type of wrapping material, labelled 19, and in this case, the first web 25 has on its surface 26 a corresponding longitudinal portion 27 printed with the aforementioned graphic design D and forming the outside face 20 a of the first length 20, while the second web 36 has on its surface 38 a second longitudinal portion 28 of the same type of wrapping material uniformly printed to look like metal foil and forming the outside surface 21 a of the second length 21.
In another embodiment, the two webs 25 and 36 are made from two different types of wrapping materials, that is to say, the web 25 is made from a first type of wrapping material, labelled 41 and having on its surface 26 a corresponding longitudinal portion 27 printed with the aforementioned graphic design D and forming the outside face 20 a of the first length 20, while the second web 36 is made from a second type of wrapping material, labelled 42 and consisting of metallised material or foil.
The web 25 is unwound from a roll 29 and the web 36 from a roll 57 and are fed along a first feed path P1 through a unit 30 forming part of a first portion 31 of an automatic packing machine which is not illustrated.
In the generic embodiment illustrated in
The two webs 25 and 36 have, respectively, a first longitudinal edge 39 which delimits the first area 27 of the first web 25, and a second longitudinal edge 40 which, in the case of the two wrapping materials 19 of the same type, delimits the second area 28. At the first edge 39 a corresponding portion 22 of the first longitudinal area 27 is thus formed and, similarly, a corresponding portion 23 of the second longitudinal area 28 us formed at the second edge 40. The two portions 22, 23 are subsequently overlapped, joined and sealed to make a single sealed web 37.
Looking in more detail, the web 25, whether it is made of the same type of wrapping material 19 as the web 36, or of a different type of wrapping material 41 from the wrapping material 42 from which the second web 36 is made, always has the first longitudinal area 27 printed with the coloured graphic design D and, in the same way, the second web always has the second longitudinal area 28 that has the uniform appearance of metal foil. At this point, it should be pointed out for clarity that the first and second join and seal portions 22, 23 and, similarly, the edges 39 and 40, are the same whether we consider the first and second longitudinal areas 27, 28 or the first and second webs 25, 36, or whether we consider the first and second length 20, 21 that form the single blank 18 of wrapping material.
Upstream of the first feed device 32, the unit 30 comprises a gumming roller unit 43 of known type, fitted on the first feed path P1 and designed to spread a film of adhesive on the join and seal portion 22 of the first web 25.
Between the feed device 32 and the gumming unit 43, the unit 30 further comprises a diverting unit 44 comprising a first web guide roller 45 which rotates about an axis 45′ that is inclined in the direction of the first web 25 towards the edge 39 of the first web 25 itself, and a second web guide roller 46 whose axis 46′ is inclined in the direction of the first web 25. The diverting unit 44 is designed to change the feed path of the second web 36, causing it to move along a second feed path P2 that is separate from the first path P1.
For completeness and in order to facilitate the understanding of how the diverting unit 44 works, below is a brief description of what happens at the diverting unit 44 and at the gumming unit 43.
As shown in
At the station 50, the unit 30 is equipped with an aligning unit 47 comprising a third web guide roller 48 and a counter-roller 49, both horizontal and acting in conjunction with each other on opposite sides of the first path P1. The third roller 48 is designed to receive the second web 36, which moves over it, and to align the second feed path P2 of the second web 36 with the first feed path P1 of the first web 25, in such a way as to place the portion 23 of the second web 36 in contact with the portion 22 of the first web 25, on which the gumming unit 43 previously spread a film of adhesive. It follows, therefore, that the diverting unit 44 and the aligning unit 47 allow the juxtaposition and sealing of the first longitudinal area 27, which has printed on it the coloured graphic design D, with the second longitudinal area 28, which is printed to look like metal foil, so as to form a single web 37 sealed along the corresponding join and seal portions 22 and 23 of the first and second longitudinal areas 27, 28.
Looking in more detail, the counter-roller 49 presses the portion 22 of the first web 25 on the second portion 23 of the second web 36, thus ensuring a perfect seal.
The sealed web 37 proceeds along the path P1 to reach a cutting station 51 comprising a transversal cutting unit 52, of known type, designed to cut the sealed web 37 transversely into separate blanks 18.
The separate blanks 18 are fed cyclically along the path P1 towards a wrapping station 53 of a second portion 54 of the aforementioned packing machine, which is not illustrated, where there is a single wrapping device of known type (not illustrated) capable of folding and wrapping each single blank 18 around each group 3 of cigarettes 4 which has in the meantime reached the wrapping station 53, moving in step with the separate blanks 18 along a group forming line 55, in the second portion 54 of the packing machine, towards the wrapping station 53.
As shown in
As shown in
Moreover, when the packet 1 has been made, the first longitudinal edge 39 of the first length 20 of wrapping material and the second longitudinal edge 40 of the second length 21 of wrapping material, being overlapped and sealed to each other all the way around the aforementioned perimetric portion 24 adjacent to the top face 17 of the packet 1, constitute a reinforcement of the wrapping material which strengthens the corresponding portion of the packet 1 itself. The finished packets 1 are then fed to another machine of known type, schematically represented by a block 56. The operation of the unit 30 can be clearly inferred from the above description and is therefore not described in any more detail.

Diapensia lapponica - Camilla Fox
Jun. 27th, 2005
12:45 am - Diapensia lapponica
I'm still plugging through the photos from last week's hiking trip; many are fuzzy, but perhaps identifying them will help me get better photos another time. This one's Diapensia lapponica and it seemed to be abundant above tree line.
Among its most noticeable features is that despite brisk winds, the spent flowers often end up upsidedown on top of the clump.

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/04/2015
Since we last visited MilitaryMenExposed...
Many people find the underfunding of military families a travesty, so I suppose sites like Military Men Exposed are giving struggling young men a helping hand in more ways than one. First there's the cash they earn and then there are the money shots that leave them spent. It's surprising how far a straight guy will go to not only make some dough, but also get off when he gets horny enough.
MilitaryMenExposed was updating weekly at one point, but it hasn't posted anything new since 2012. It's left us with 71 videos that you can stream in an embedded player and download. You can save them in MP4s and great-quality Windows Media files. You can't save the 49 photo galleries, though, and the pics aren't that big.
You'll see quite a few shoots that start with an interview while the marine, soldier or civilian is straddling a weightlifting bench. They eventually take off their clothes and beat their meat. What I like about this setup is that when they finally cum, their sweet white loads look especially impressive against the black vinyl exercise equipment.
But some scenes go much further. It often starts off innocently enough with another guy touching their junk. Then they might be coaxed into letting their rod get stroked, which is often just the prelude to receiving a blowjob. There's at least one standout session with anal sex. In fact it's bareback, which ratchets up the heat.
The fact that the site isn't updating anymore isn't the only bad thing about it. The other is that there's a download limit, although it's supposed to be high enough to not affect the average user. You can rate the content, but you can't save your favorites or post comments. You can check out a model index with some lengthy bios, though.
I feel like the site really brings you the hetero hotties it promises. Other sites sometimes stretch the truth on that count. Also, even if this collection isn't the largest, a membership is reasonably priced. Overall, Military Men Exposed is inexpensive enough to join, but you won't stick with it indefinitely due to its lack of growth.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Who We Are
Speechworks is a communication and selling skills coaching firm. We teach professionals how to craft and deliver complex messages in a simple, persuasive manner. Since 1986, through workshops and one-on-one instruction, we have helped countless individuals become better presenters and communicators.
The Speechworks Difference
SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT – Speaking in front of a group can be stressful. Our coaches create a friendly, fun setting to put participants at ease. This relaxed, low-pressure approach that emphasizes small groups and individualized instruction yields amazing results.
PRACTICAL COACHING – Our staff of industry-leading communication coaches all have practical business backgrounds. This allows them to understand and adapt to the specific needs of each client rather than boxing them into a one-size-fits-all solution.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT – Through the use of digital video, we enable participants to instantly see themselves the same way their audiences see them. Combined with instant feedback and a focus on a few key areas for improvement, the knowledge can be applied right away.
Our Video
The Team
"Righty tighty, lefty loosey!"
– A very smart person
I'm always amazed by how much a diverse background can add to your skills as a communication coach, and that's why we intentionally employ coaches with diverse educations and experiences. For example, my years as a newspaper reporter honed my ability to recognize and tell great stories. Being a lawyer prepared me to deal with pushback and overcome objections. Being a father of three definitely taught me patience! There's no question that what makes Speechworks different is the quality of our coaching, and that's a direct result of the unique and varied skillsets that each of our coaches brings.
"If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad."
– Sheryl Crow
Although I typically operate behind the scenes, I often feel like I have the best seat in the house! I get to watch participants in our communication skills workshops experience breakthrough moments in their personal and professional lives. I love to hear the excitement in our coaches' voices when they've wrapped another successful training program. I enjoy planning ways that Speechworks can reach even more people and help them improve their sales and communication skills. This is exciting stuff! Although I never imagined that my studies at Cornell and Columbia would lead me here, I'm thrilled that they did!
"Live your life so that you never end up wondering 'what if?"
– Me
Speechworks is the perfect place for me, but it took some time to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. Finance bored me, but I loved sharing the knowledge with others. Flight school was exciting, but instructing was more rewarding than flying. I enjoyed business school, but the best part was teaching undergrads. The corporate world had its challenges, but conducting sales training was always a high point. One day it hit me: my passion was teaching! And I can think of nothing better to focus on than the one skill everyone needs, but so few have!
"Hey Amanda!"
– Everyone at Speechworks
It's my job to keep our office and our team of Speechworks coaches operating as seamlessly as possible, and I love the challenge! From managing our training calendar to booking travel to resolving schedule conflicts, the Speechworks team relies on me to tell them where to be, when to be there, and how to get there! In my spare time, I like to switch gears and do lots of standup paddleboarding and traveling. I have a soft spot for animals and really enjoy spending time with my two English Bulldogs.
"This above all, to thine own self be true…."
– Polonius from "Hamlet" (in which I played Ophelia, his daughter, when a college thespian!)
People often ask me to give speeches about my experiences. They want to know what it was like being a CNN news anchor and journalist (exciting and underpaid!), how to win Emmy Awards (tell a great story!), what it was like to go from Woodstock (muddy and "far out"!) to 30 Rock (an education in TV at NBC!). I never felt completely confident giving those speeches. And then I found Speechworks. I honed my presentation and communications skills and now, with confidence, enjoy passing those lessons and experiences on to others.
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
– John Quincy Adams
I've spent more than a decade at Speechworks helping to develop leaders who are confident, persuasive communicators! My years as an account executive, sales trainer, and speechwriter for executives taught me that relationships win the business, and relationships are about connection. So when I coach my clients, I help them share their most engaging personality traits with their listeners: whether it's a great sense of humor, a winning smile, or a captivating voice. Then I find fun ways to challenge them to be better – to add pauses, to hold eye contact longer, or to show more passion!
"Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after."
– Anne Morrow Lindbergh
People always want to know how I became a Speechworks coach. Well, I spent 19 years at The Weather Channel, the last 10 as Director of the award-winning Learning and Development Department. Along the way I wrote a couple of books that were endorsed by leadership experts Stephen M. R. Covey and Dr. Ken Blanchard. And then one day I had lunch with Joey Asher. I fell in love with Speechworks and hired them to help The Weather Channel grow. Next thing you know, I was working with the Speechworks crew to help professionals become great communicators!
"You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere."
– Lee Iacocca
In my tenure as a communication coach at Speechworks, I've witnessed the world around us become more technical, while people's ability to clearly convey their complex ideas seems to have diminished. More than ever, simple, persuasive communication can be a key differentiator for business professionals! My passion lies in helping my clients articulate their ideas and communicate clear messages, no matter how complex the subject matter! My background as both a banker and research analyst has given me first-hand understanding of the communication challenges my clients face, as well as the experience to help them overcome those challenges.
"I like to think of sales as the ability to gracefully persuade, not manipulate, a person into a win-win situation."
– Bo Bennett
My path to becoming a Speechworks coach was varied to say the least! I earned my MBA, worked as a commissioned sales rep, launched and operated a restaurant franchise, led the leadership development at a large privately held company, served as a sales trainer, and authored a book on time management skills for sales professionals. But it's those varied experiences that have fostered my passion for helping people and organizations achieve their goals. Among my proudest accomplishments are completing three Ironman Triathlons, and most importantly, raising three wonderful daughters with my wife, Beth.
"That's the trouble with the world today. No one takes the time to do a really sinister interrogation anymore. It's a lost art."
– Bond. James Bond.
I enjoy helping my clients promote their ideas, sell their products, make presentations, and ultimately achieve great outcomes! Prior to joining Speechworks, I spent time teaching at UCLA, Columbia Business School, and NYU Stern. I also spent 10 years as a Hollywood film producer. People often ask what feature films and business presentations have in common. Easy: they both have scripts, actors, and an audience. The biggest difference is that in a business presentation, the audience gets to ask the actors questions! Helping speakers prepare for and master those moments is one reason I love what I do!
"You are how you are because of why you are."
– Myself
I love to figure out what makes people unique, and being a Speechworks coach allows me plenty of opportunity to do that! I was born in Nigeria and got to live in Zambia for three years. I really enjoy immersing myself in different cultures, and have found that I can make small talk in a number of languages! I've had the honor of serving as the District Governor for Toastmasters in the State of Georgia, as well as on a number of non-profit boards. I have also owned a few small businesses and am a professional speaker and author.

One of the things I love most about my living room is our window seat. It's where I sit first thing in the morning with my coffee, watch the sun rise and spend a little quiet time before I hit the day running. It's also where I can catch a little nap or reading time with my Grand daughter, time well spent for the two of us.
A window seat is a great addition to your home. I often add window seats for my interior design clients since the space beneath a window is often wasted. Window seats can provide both extra storage space as well as a place to sit, relax, read a book and look out the window. Window seats can be very versatile, offering:
- Added seating space in a living room or a family room
- Provide a private reading corner
- Offer a great view to the outside
- As part of a eating nook in a kitchen, literally a booth
- Can add both seating in an entry to put shoes on and take shoes off, and offers storage for your shoes below
- Can create an extra sleeping spot particularly in a child's room
- Creates a place of respite to retreat to and dream a bit
- Offers a spot to work on projects, such as knitting, that require an abundance of natural light
Window seats can lend a bit of romance to a room as many people feel a sense of luxury for the spare time which lounging in a window seat suggests. Typically, I like a window seat that is installed in front of a window with a great view, so that someone seated in it can enjoy a beauty break. Window seats can offer a perfect spot from which to simply observe.
Do you have a window seat in your home? How do you use it?
Check out the video below for some great ideas and I invite you to let me know where your private spot in your home is by leaving a comment below!

The thing I love best about window seatings is there is always great lighting when you want to read a book – unless you live in Pittsburgh where sun was far a few between.
It's onerous to find knowledgeable folks on this matter, but you sound like you know what you're talking about! Thanks
I really like the photo of the small window seat surrounded by book cases. It seems like a really cosy place to curl up with a good book and enjoy the natural light.

The beauty of this BOM is they supply the fabric and I don't have to really make any decisions, as I love them all. There is one I will probably redo later, to add a touch of color that I prefer. I did cut one piece incorrectly, so had to juggle a bit. The yellow and reds are my favorites. Just yummy! Thanks for your note

Benchmarks posted yesterday
of Intel's unreleased Conroe processor have sparked quite a firestorm
in forums around the web. Users from both the AMD and Intel camp were
quick to examine the numbers provided in the articles,
but the end result was still the same -- Intel has a slam dunk with
Conroe.As is the case with benchmarks held outside of a
controlled environment and conducted with equipment provided by a
party that has something to gain from favorable performance numbers,
suspicions have arisen over the benchmark results.
VoodooPC president and occasional
DailyTech writer Rahul
Sood adds, "The long and the short of it is Intel has crafted
an excellent marketing strategy to show off their baby in its first
trimester. They are trying to win the hearts and minds of enthusiasts
half a year before they have anything to show us. They created these
platforms in house, and we can only hope they unknowingly crutched
the AMD system by using a chipset and motherboard - with an outdated
bios - that no enthusiast supports."
While the test systems and
circumstances surrounding these benchmarks of an unreleased Intel
processor and an overclocked AMD processor are far from ideal, this
question must be asked -- how often do you get the opportunity to
test a fully functional, unreleased product six months in advance?
quote: we can only hope they unknowingly crutched the AMD system by using a chipset and motherboard - with an outdated bios - that no enthusiast supports.
quote: crutched the AMD system by using a chipset and motherboard - with an outdated bios - that no enthusiast supports.
quote: Again, you're applying a general conception based on the tech industry rather than looking at details of this case.
quote: It shows Intel sometimes promises more than they can deliver.
quote: Isn't Intel's newest processor based on a 65nm fab process?
Isn't AMD's based on a 90nm fab process?
Is it fair to truly compare the two and declare performance dominance?
quote: Well, we're clearly comparing a pre-production Intel processor that won't be relased for six months with a present-day AMD chip, which isn't ideal. But, on the other hand, we do have a fairly good idea of what AMD is going to be producing in the next six months.
quote: amd even when it moves to 65nm probably wont get much of a performance boost if it is a dumb shrink
quote: intel apparently is selling 920 and 930 chips like hot cakes..
quote: they dont even offer the 920 or 930 anymore because they are sold out and had to replace it with 820 and 830 chips (whcih are slower and run hotter).
quote: Neither Intel nor AMD's CPUs have gotten any faster in the last 6 months.

Controversial complex back before council
6 A controversial apartment complex proposed for a busy east Vista corner will land back before the City Council this week, with some key changes.
The revised plans call for fewer apartments and no low-income units, and the developer would pay for a key traffic upgrade on a nearby street. Still, several residents who live near the site say the project just doesn't fit the area.
The City Council on Tuesday will take a look at the slimmed-down version of the more than $20 million project, a gated complex proposed for a 4.6-acre lot on the southwest corner of South Santa Fe Road at Mar Vista Drive.
It's a busy corner in a commercial stretch fronting neighborhoods of single-family homes.
The Planning Commission approved a denser version of the apartment proposal this spring, but the City Council sent it back to the builder in June, citing concerns ranging from traffic to high density (too many apartments per acre).
A number of neighbors had urged the council to reject the proposal outright, saying they feared an apartment complex would bring crime, blight and overcrowding.
Since then, developer Affirmed Housing has met with community members and opponents, worked with the city, and made changes to try to address the concerns. On Tuesday, the company will ask the council for the go-ahead.
"It's a very high-quality development that will be sought after due to its location and amenities," said Beth Binger, a spokesperson for the project.
Even with the proposed changes, Vista resident Wendis Aposhian said Friday that many of her neighbors remain opposed to building an apartment complex on a busy, high-traffic corner that serves as an entrance to the city.
"There is so much charm in this little neighborhood," Aposhian said, "I would hate to see that go away."
Among the notable changes to the plan the council will consider this week:
• The complex has dropped from 114 units to 96 units;
• Apartments would be one- or two-bedroom; the three-bedroom units are gone;
• All units would be market-rate, with none set aside for low-income renters; and
• A traffic circle would be installed at Mar Vista and Avocado drives.
The architecture has also changed, from a contemporary look to a more Mediterranean feel.
Other features remain the same. The project still includes seven buildings and a recreation room. Two of the buildings are three-story, and five are both two- and three-stories tall.
Vehicle access to the complex is also unchanged, with one driveway proposed on South Santa Fe, across from the intersection of Cypress Drive.
Traffic was among the major concerns of residents opposed to the project. Chief among them was additional cars traveling on Mar Vista, a winding two-lane road lined by older homes on small lots. The street is already heavily used by motorists heading between state Route 78 and South Santa Fe.
One solution OK'd by the city's traffic engineer would be to install a traffic circle on Mar Vista at Avocado, to improve traffic flow. The apartment developer would pick up the cost, according to a city staff report.
Chris Earl is managing the project for Affirmed Housing, and on Friday he said apartments would be an appropriate transition from the neighboring commercial uses — including strip malls — to the homes.
"I think its a good fit for the area," he said.
He also said the state Route 78 corridor is a good spot for market-rate multi-family housing, and that the complex would attract renters with discretionary income they would spend at area businesses.
Aposhian credited Affirmed for their outreach to residents in the community and welcomed the changes to the project, specifically citing the look and lower density. But said she would rather see blighted sites redeveloped before building on the empty lot.

I've been reading and searching through the threads and I've found alot of good info. I just want to consolidate some of this and get a few opinions.
I'm new to the biking world so bear with me. I have an 04 Specialized Hardrock sport. It's a great bike and I love it but I'm riding with a group of guys a few times a week around our local lake and a bit into the trails. Nothing fancy on the trails it's just mainly sprinting around the lake on paved paths. I've got these Enduro tires that are monsters and making work myself to death. http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCEqP...jsp?spid=11212
I'm wanting to get a set of more road friendly tires. From what I've read here are a few good candidates
Vermins serfas
continental travelcontact
CROSSROADS ARMADILLO TIRE from specialized
I'm leaning towards the armadillo. I'm planning on sticking with the roads around lake hefner but I also want to hit the trails to break things up. any suggestions from you pro's?

Woodform® Concrete Key Largo, FL
Kitchen Design by Peter Salerno Inc. This amazing kitchen features our WoodForm® Concrete on the Islands. Notice the 4" Live Bark Edge and the signature leaves.
Faux Bois Table Base
This table base was inspired by an actual wood drift wood base. The base found was too small to support the 72" round glass and it wasn't organic enough for the person who wanted it. So we created a very organic concrete base to look like wood. This table was made for a wine room so we created one of the branches to hold a wine bottle under the table top!
Chicago Country Island WoodForm®
This Chicago commission allowed for J&M Lifestyle's attention to detail not only in the field, but in the office to carry out a cost effective seamless migration of an extraordinary local material to be transplanted in a mid country Dream Kitchen. We worked within the budget and the parameters of the client to create a protocol to fulfill their ambitions to own a one of a kind work of functional art. One of our installers was flown to Chicago to install the shipped 48" x 120" Island top with local labor supplied by a local affiliate, BDC Supply. The installation perfectly matched the plans and shop drawings supplied by J&M that were created from the cabinet makers CAD drawings. The rough sawn edge is a simple, clean example of a reclaimed walnut plank, without the splitting, staining, or twisting. The addition of hand hammered nails and Iron dovetails add to the illusion of a reclaimed wood island.
Set in Stone...'Wood' WoodForm® Outside
This outdoor BBQ was designed by Bosenberg & Co Landscape Architects. The names of the resident children were carved in the wood Great personal touch!
Aoyama Restaurant Wyckoff, NJ
WoodForm™ Concrete Bar in a French/Thai Japanese Fusion Restaurant in Wyckoff NJ. Amazing atmosphere with delicious food!
Born in Harding
Woodform was created for one client that had the forethought and desire to have the unique. JM Lifestyles had been creating new textures and a wood texture was one of the subjects. This client wanted it to be used in multiple applications through out her kitchen. The Design team had engineered a complete system that allowed for the diverse applications that were requested and even invented new ones. The result was and is a revolutionary idea in surfacing. Although this idea has been around for centuries, Faux Bois, or fake wood, for example the caliber at which we can re-create wood surfaces in a variety of products and surfaces on a small, cost effective scale is revolutionary. We invite you to engage and create a new world around you.

We had a tremendous response and we appreciate all of the hard work from everyone involved.
Levels of a Chatham Backyard
This massive WoodForm BBQ top project was a perfect addition to replace the cracked granite that was existing. These custom colored WoodForm tops allowed for a 50" x 130" seamless top to be the focal point of the pool BBQ and the small refined practical Kitchen side BBQ was fitted with a grill side towel bar. The perfect addition to a home that has it all. The tops were created to match the stone work in the base. Notice how this 'wood' doesn't absorb water!l

Mesopotamia, the 'land between the rivers', is the name given by the Greek historian Polybius (second century BC) to the region enclosed between the Tigris and the Euphrates in southern Iraq (Fig. 4.1).
In the 400 miles between Baghdad and the Persian Gulf, the land drops only about 30 feet (9 metres). The great rivers run slowly, often changing their courses and depositing enormous quantities of fertile silt. It has been calculated that the Tigris and Euphrates remove three million tons of eroded material a day from the highlands of Iraq, and deposit it on the plains. The resulting sediments carpet the southern part of Iraq with fertile soil, which ranges in depth from 16 to 23 feet (5 to 7 metres).
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia faced two major problems. The first was flooding. Because of the dryness of the climate, the soil is very hard. When heavy rainfall in northern Iraq coincided with the melting of the snows in the Taurus and Zagros mountains, the rivers, penned in by the iron- hard ground, often broke their banks causing great destruction. The second problem is that of salt in the soil--salinization. The water of both the rivers is slightly salty, and salt is also pushed upwards by the ground water. The rainfall is very low, and irrigation is difficult,so that the salt simply builds up, finally rendering the soil infertile. It is a hard land.
As in Egypt and Europe, the transition from the hunting and gathering form of life to a more settled agricultural existence seems to have occurred sometime between 10 000-5000 BC. An agricultural village, excavated at Jarmo in northern Iraq, has been shown by radiocarbon dating to have been inhabited between 5100-4500 BC.
By about 4000 BC the northerners had moved south into the fertile plains of the great rivers, and set up cities. They called their land Shumer (Shinar, Genesis 11:2) (Fig. 4.1). We know them as the Sumerians.
At the dawn of Sumerian history, we see a group of city states each with its own priest-king and its own divine protector. Ur was the city of Nanna the moon-god, and his wife Ningal. Erech belonged to Anu and Inanna, Nippur to Enil and Nin-lil, and Lagash to Ningursu and Baba.
The original Ur (Ur I) was the legendary birthplace of Abraham, father of the Arab and Jewish nations. It was supposedly destroyed in a catastrophic flood, which may be the flood described in the Bible.

Big Chillette by Inspector97Watch
©2010-2016 Inspector97
My wife wanted a cool character for Champions (The Super RPG) and wanted something very different from her Dark Champions character. She and I both watch Ben 10....and she likes Big Chill's character design....so I thought I'd draw her a concept for the character. She still needs a name.
Gorgeous Female Necrofriggian
I think you should nname her Big Chillian!
That works....but I've been told this species has no genders
Actually it has..
I've only seen the one episode about how Big Chill reproduces and when I drew Chilette I got corrected by a fan on their genders.....so now I don't know what to think. I know it's not really important as I just drew the character for fun. Either way I liked drawing her.
they are asexual as a species but there's no rule saying this one cant be a DNA fusion like the time ben fucked up the watch
on a looks note all i can say is i'd let thi sfrosty girl nip at more then my nose
on a looks note all i can say is i'd let thi sfrosty girl nip at more then my nose
nice, oh frosst ghost sounds sexy to me
Dude this is epic!
Wow, super powerful and a serious distraction on the battlefield, dangerous!
What a beauty.
I thought they were asexual?
I tired Galcier...glacielle....etc...but she didn't think it suited her.....also "moth"...she didn't like that either.
Night Chill? lol
Night Chill? lol
very nice . good work
How about "Nightflyer"?

What part of the window{s} is the water showing up?
Is the small brow roof imediately above the windows flashed properly...running OVER the shingles? Were "starter" shingles used at the drp edge prior to shingling and does the roof edge extend out at least 3/4 inch past the fascia?
The reason I ask these is because of the photo which shows that someone used damaged shingles, or damaged them at some point. If they were simply used damaged, perhaps the same guy didn't flash the wall correctly...or install "starters",
or didn't stagger the "starters" ..offset from the first row os shingles, or no overhang...etc. These are all little things that "happen" frequently, causing leaks.
I noticed...or it appears, as though a "trim shingle was run horizontally at the top wall, perhaps covering the flashing, or lack of flashing. Anytime I see that I question the knowlege of the person who did it. The flashing should simply run over the top row of shingles, period...NO "trim" shingle. But there's another possibility...perhaps there's an inadequate overlap of the wall flashings if more than one piece was used to flash it.
If there is a wall flashing, and it does run OVER the shingles, and any possible side lap of the flashing is well lapped and sealed...then perhaps it IS your original thought, that being the side rakes where the roof meets the soffit but was never flashed.
IF it ends up being what you thought, you might get by with installing small flashings in each corner, running over the shingles, running up the soffit 4-5 inches. Ideally it would run behind the soffit, but it should work even if it runs on the face of the soffit. If the metal is made to fit snuggly, and shaped to the "planes" of the roof, wall, and soffit, then painted, it could look good as well.
But...it's just a thought.

Rheem RTG-74PVN-2 Tankless
Hey all,
My Rheem RTG-74PVN-2 is shutting off and giving me the error code C7 76. I can cycle power and it goes away but comes back when demanding hot water again. The research that I have done on the net indicates that I may have a bad remote pad. I also read that I can disconnect the pad to get hot water. Does anyone else have experience with this problem or can confirm what I have already read?
