So I do not claim that what you are about to read is anything special.
I just thought someone might get some use out of it while at the same time giving me a chance to document my method for future reference. A lot of what I do is common sense and does not need to be written or a picture of it put up. Well to bad I am doing it anyhow.
Ok first things first get your parts together and clean up any mold lines. Normally I am very OCD about this step but as you will see later I missed a big one.
Then of course you assemble the guy. Would not do you a whole lot of good in the game laying about in parts.
I like to primer my models and suggest you do also. Anyhow with whatever brown they have at Home Depot here he is primed.
Now all of you smart guys and gals out there are like I bet he paints his guy next. You would be right of course next we block out all the model in whatever colors strike your fancy. I stick with earthy tones because it works well with the wash he is going to get later.
For reference these are the colors used on this guy.
Now for the fun part. Mr Gor gets a brushed on bath of Minwax Polyshades Satin Antique Walnut qood stain. Just brush it on making sure no giant pools get left on him.
I know he does not look to good now but just wait a day or so for the stain to dry do up some kind of base and spray on the magic that is Testors Dullcoat and your done.
Please excuse his wet looking stinky arm pit. I missed it with the Dullcoat somehow and will go back later and touch it up.
For completeness sake this is the paint and mats I use for the base.
Also a picture of the stain.
There you go simple and not to bad looking.

Very nice. I have 70 gors and 50 beastigors done in much the same fashion.
I think for new folks to the hobby, this can be an invaluable boost to confidence. It's that simple to have a painted army!
A GT in New Orleans? Wow! Sounds like a good time.

That isn't bad at all. I think the metals would do well with some extra work, but other than that looks great for such a simple technique o_O

The metals look much better with some work. Much like this guy I did years ago.
Spent more time after the wash when I was first learning how to use this method.
Makes the model look much better but I am just to lazy to be bothered lol.
Seems like a small world when I come to a new forum and run in to some of the same people. How is your significant other Bere?
Here is a shot of how a pile of these guys done using this method look on the table.
Nothing to write home about but I have never had anyone complain about having to play against them. Well not because of how they are painted anyhow, I mean they are Skaven.

Looks pretty good! I'm not a big fan of dipping and the like, but I can't deny that with such results it's very worth the effort.

So I have had some good feedback about the bases so I figured I would show you all how simple they are to do.
Now this base is for my Ogres but the principle is the same.
First we have a base. Do not ask me why I took a picture of this, I have no idea.
The we add a thick coat of Elmers finest. It has to be thick for this kind of base rocks so they stick better.
Pile on the rocks. I use a sheet of paper under the base to collect up the rocks.
Dig out your base and clean up the edges and you are done for now.
Once the glue drys tomorrow I will finish this up and we can see the finished product.

the sickness and maybe even the dizziness is part and parcel of the pregnancy unfortunately. As for the fainting, maybe suggest drinking some lucocade when she feels faint. When i was pregnant, towards the end my midwife suggested i carry a bottle all the time, and im sure many other women will say the same. It really helps. Otherwise speak to the modwife or gp if she/ you is still worried.

A brief introduction
When melanocytes, the skin cells which
provide the unique colour to skin, have either been destroyed
by a medical condition or through physical trauma, skin becomes
white in colour.
Medical conditions such as vitiligo
disease / leucoderma, piebaldism, or halo nevus for example, cause
destruction of melanocytes. Burn scars often have white patches
where there are no melanocytes, and laser tattoo removal often
results in a loss of melanocytes as well as tattoo pigment.
Dr Sanjeev Mulekar
Dr Mulekar is a specialist dermatologist
with not only a keen interest in vitiligo treatment / leucoderma
treatment and research, but in any skin condition which results
in loss of pigmentation or white patches.
After an initial introduction to
autologous melanocyte transfer in 1995, Dr Mulekar went on to
develop and perfect this technique of restoring skin pigmentation
by transferring a patient's own melanocytes from an area of healthy
skin to areas of the skin which have white patches. To date, he
has treated over 3000 patients.

Although I did not see the Why We Fight: Remembering AIDS Activism exhibit, the imagery that is available online renders a powerful narration of the ACT UP movement. The exhibit captivates the emotion and urgency that the activist community was experiencing during the 80's and 90's.
Many of the images depict community members in protest actions that were directed at government and scientific institutions. It was interesting to note that many of protest images show tensions between activists and police. The depiction of activists confronting law enforcement illustrates a microcosm of the HIV/AIDS community and their struggle against indifference and hostility of the government.
Some of the other images are posters, signs, and pamphlets that display concise, motivating messages. Often the literature called for action to fight the epidemic. These messages emphasize the mission of ACT UP to ignite a fervor in the general population to "act up" and take HIV/AIDS seriously.
The ACT UP movement is one of the triumphs of New York City. HIV/AIDS activism is also such a visible part of NYC's history as well. However, we must keep in mind that imagery does not tell a story in its entirety but is, however, effective in framing a narrative. When viewing the images collectively, it is implied that the HIV/AIDS activism was a gay, white man's movement and they are responsible for the changes that happened.
Although many leaders of the movement were gay, white men, there were other noteworthy figures who do not hold the same reverence as Vito Russo and Larry Kramer. There is little representation of cis-women (both straight and queer), the trans community, and people of color even though they played key roles in HIV/AIDS activism. We must also realize that there were movements contemporary to ACT UP beyond the US's borders. It is important to always question who holds power to tell a story, especially those that are image-based.

As we close 2009 and get ready for 2010, I'd like to help you with the transition. In the final 17 days of 2009, each day I'll suggest you try something out for just one day. This will only last 17 days. My suggestions will include fitness, mental skills, nutritional tips and making a difference for others to name a few. The concept is you try the suggestion out for just one day and don't lay expectations on yourself to keep up. If you like the change, feel free to keep it going.
Some of you will find you are already doing the suggestion. Perfect.
You may find some of the suggested tasks are much more difficult to do than others. Yes.
The goal is change, re-framing thoughts/actions and improvement for just one day. You can do it on your own or recruit others. I don't care if you define "day" as 24 hours, the time you spend at work, or from 7:00am to 7:00pm. Your "day" can be from the time you read one suggestion to the time you read the next one. You may find you want to change the days you try out the suggestions. (For example, do the Tuesday suggestion on Wednesday.) Do what works for you.
I know you're busy so a challenge for me is to keep the suggestions short and mostly doable with short notice. I will send the greatest majority of them out on Twitter, forcing me to keep the text to 140 characters and spaces. For any suggestions that need a bit more explanation or preparation time, I'll post them here on my blog.
My Twitter address is http://twitter.com/GaleBernhardt . If you don't have, and don't want, a Twitter account you'll still see some of the suggestions here on the blog. I may end up posting a weekly summary list here, I'll see how it goes. I'm just going to try it out and go from there.
The first suggestion comes tomorrow. I hope you try it for just one day.

4 thoughts on "Diary of a Cabbie by John McDonagh"
Thanks for putting up the video. If you want to see more go to
This month PBS will air "Stephen Fry in America" an 8 hour documentary about British actor and comedian Stephen Fry's journey through every state in America. I had the honor of showing him around New York City. It is the first hour of the documentary.
John, I grew up in Brooklyn. I know exactly what you are saying. I got my hack license in 1970 and I'm still driving part time.
Great video!
thanks john nice video i am taxi driver in brasil sao paulo bye .
John, have you heard about this:
Adnan is being held without charge, on secret evidence. He is now in his 58th day of hunger strike, and entering an extremely critical health stage in which organ failure is imminent. The military court's action is an effective death sentence for Khader Adnan, who has refused to stop his hunger strike so long as arbitrary detention, torture and abuse continue in the occupation's prisons.
Could you mention this on the Sat. Progam on WBAI?

In a previous post I alluded to a bike race I am doing this year. That race is the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race. This will be my third year battling the course. I wrote a couple of columns about the event in 05. At some point I will disclose how it is someone manages to cross the finish line with only five seconds to spare; but not today.
Today's story really began late in 2006. The story line has all the ingredients of a good western movie, set in an old mining town with a history of heros, power disputes and clandestine plans. Leadville is the perfect setting for a showdown between Lance Armstrong, Floyd Landis and the lesser-publicized Dave Weins.
Late in 2006, the Leadville Chronicle released a story that confirmed Lance planned to race in the 2007 event. His interest in the event was sparked by his long-time coach Chris Charmichael's participation in the 2006 event. Chris apparently lost a bet that he would complete the event under nine hours, the special time cut for "La Plata Grande" the BIG belt buckle.
Race Director Ken Chlouber invited Floyd to do the race after Lance decided to do the event. To have two strong horses race though the middle of town is a good opportunity for the race and the city. For many, these guys remain heros of the American cycling movement. Yep, a grand opportunity for a good showdown, horse race or both.
After press, stories and the ususal hype expected from this kind of a race, Lance announced that he had a "scheduling conflict" and would not be able to do the race after all.
Months pass...
Last week Chris Charmichael reported he rode the Leadville course with Lance and hinted to the possibility that Lance may still race at Leadville. Ah, clandestine plans.
Also last week, Ken Chlouber made it very clear he wants Floyd on the start line and is willing to find an independent insurance company to insure the event. The race is sanctioned by NORBA for insurance purposes. NORBA is the National Off-Road Bicycling Association and a division of USA Cycling. USA Cycling falls under UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) rules. Floyd is currently under investigation for doping charges and if found guilty will be ineligble to compete in any UCI events for two years. Chlouber will do whatever it takes to have Floyd on the start line at Leadville.
Floyd said in a press story last week that he still plans on doing the event and has been busy whipping that new hip into shape.
Meanwhile, quietly preparing for the event is Dave Wiens - I'm guessing. There has been some press about the four-time Leadville winner, but not much. He is a Colorado native, former World Cup racer and a 2000 inductee into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. Leadville racers love him. He is approachable, friendly and shouts encouraging words to racers as he passes them when he is returning on the out-and-back course.
Now that you have the basic story, belly up to the bar and place your bets.
Will Lance do the race?
Will Floyd's new hip work as well or better than his old one?
Does living in Colorado and knowing the course give Wiens an advantage?
Which horse will charge across the finishline first?
On Wednesday I go to Leadville for my pre-ride of the year. If I see any secret training going on, I'll let you know. You may want to change your bet...

Interview with Athalie Range
Okay, explain to me what happened when Andy Young and the others came to town.
I believe I would prefer to speak just for An--just regarding Andy Young. I think that he was really not received with open arms. It seemed to have been the general feeling of the community, that this was our problem, we wanted to solve it. Ah, we were not happy with outsiders coming in giving directions. And as a result of that, uh, Mr. Young left without too much of, uh, of an input in that particular circumstance.

Kusakabe Kimbei
Kusakabe Kimbei (日下部 金兵衛) (1841–1934) was a Japanese photographer. He usually went by his given name, Kimbei, because his clientele, mostly non-Japanese-speaking foreign residents and visitors, found it easier to pronounce than his family name.[citation needed]
|This section does not cite any sources. (February 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Kusakabe Kimbei worked with Felice Beato and Baron Raimund von Stillfried as a photographic colourist and assistant before opening his own workshop in Yokohama in 1881, in the Benten-dōri quarter, and from 1889 operating in the Honmachi quarter. He also opened a branch in the Ginza quarter of Tokyo.
Around 1885, he acquired the negatives of Felice Beato and of Stillfried, as well as those of Uchida Kuichi. Kusakabe also acquired some of Ueno Hikoma's negatives of Nagasaki.
He stopped working as a photographer in 1912-1913.[citation needed]
Most of his albums are mounted in accordion fashion.[citation needed]

The prosecution of former Jack Kevorkian attorney Geoffrey Fieger over alleged campaign finance violations is politically motivated, Fieger's lawyer said Tuesday.
Fieger, who is accused of submitting $127,000 in illegal contributions to the 2004 presidential campaign of fellow Democrat John Edwards, is being singled out because of the "many enemies" he's made, Gerry Spence said during a news conference at Fieger's law office.
Fieger on Tuesday accused Attorney General Alberto Gonzales -- who announced his resignation on Monday -- and Karl Rove, the president's chief political strategist, of "turning the U.S. Department of Justice into a political arm of the Republican Party."
Fieger accused U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy of intimidating, harassing and threatening his employees by having investigators ask how they voted and to which candidates they donated.
"I don't think I am overstating when I say we are now in a McCarthy era," Fieger said.
Gina Balaya, a Murphy spokeswoman, did not comment Tuesday morning but said her office would make a statement in the afternoon.
Fieger was expected to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in a federal courtroom in Detroit.
The indictment claims Fieger, 56, of Bloomfield Hills, and his law partner Vernon (Ven) Johnson, 45, of Birmingham, recruited 60 people, known as straw donors, to make contributions in the then-maximum allowable amount of $2,000 per donor to the campaign of Edwards, a former trial lawyer. The contributions actually came from Fieger's firm, the indictment says.
The 10-count indictment was returned last week and unsealed Friday.
The U.S. attorney's office in Detroit said that campaign officials for Edwards, then a U.S. senator, weren't aware of the alleged actions, and that Edwards and his campaign staff cooperated fully with the investigation.
Fieger has maintained he had nothing to do with his staff's financial support for Edwards.
Federal agents raided his Southfield offices on Nov. 30, 2005, taking payroll and other financial documents, as well as ticket stubs for a fundraiser for Edwards and other campaign materials.
Fieger and Johnson are charged with conspiracy, causing the Edwards campaign to unwittingly make false statements, making illegal campaign contributions in another's name and making illegal campaign contributions from a corporation.
If convicted, each charge of conspiracy, false statements and illegal campaign contributions carries up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Obstruction of justice is punishable by up to 10 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.
Steven Fishman, an attorney representing Johnson, has said his client hasn't done anything wrong.

Bringing an old building back to life
Published: Sunday, September 17, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 16, 2006 at 11:17 p.m.
The issue: Plans to convert former Terrebonne Parish government building to multiple uses.
We suggest: A success will benefit everyone involved, including parish residents and taxpayers.
Everything will depend on how the plan gets executed, but its great to see that the vacant old hotel that once served as Terrebonne Parish governments office building is getting a new lease on life.
Last week, the Parish Council approved the high bid from a company called TNT Ventures. Owners Tommy Guarisco and Tim Montgomery told the council that they plan to put retail space on the buildings first floor, offices on the second and condos on the third and fourth.
Sounds like a good plan. Downtown Houma has long needed living space condos, apartments, small homes to create the walking traffic it will need if it ever is to reach its potential as a promenade and shopping and entertainment hub.
Right now, the potential is nowhere near realization. It takes a special occasion to get any kind of crowd downtown, and the businesses, restaurants and retailers there continue to rely heavily on visitors from the banks, attorney offices and courthouse workday traffic, essentially for their livelihoods.
Last year, The Courier examined the challenges downtown faces in a three-day series called Whats Up With Downtown? The challenges are many and varied, but one of them is to do something about nearly a dozen buildings that are either vacant or in poor condition. The old parish-administration building is one of them.
The 1930s-era building served for years as parish headquarters. It was vacated in 2002 after it fell into poor condition and the parish offices moved into their present location in the Government Tower at Main and Barrow streets. The old building, which faces the Courthouse Square, had a number of problems, including lack of space and a leaky roof.
Some interest was sparked in the buildings sale after Damon Baldone, a state representative from Houma, put in a lower bid for the building. Baldones plan was to move his law, real-estate and state representative offices into about a quarter of the space; the rest would be rented to other businesses.
Both plans sound good, but in the end, the council did the prudent thing and approved the highest bid, something that is common practice under the state bid laws. Yes, the bid laws do give the council the right to reject the high bid. But the longstanding legal precedent has been that there needs to be some kind of major, clear extenuating circumstance that the council could use to justify rejecting a higher bid, and and this is admittedly debatable -- there doesnt seem to be one here.
TNT Ventures bid $401,000 which is higher than the latest appraisal, which estimates the buildings value at $325,000. Two years ago, the council put the building on the market at its then-appraised value of $669,000, but there were no takers.
Assuming TNTs plans are successful, parish residents get at least two clear benefits from converting this building into something useful:
It will be nice to see this building, in such a prime and historic location, come to life again.

Green Ink: Everybody's Upset With the Climate Bill
Crude oil futures hovered below $60 a barrel due to uncertainty over the global economy and demand situation, Bloomberg reports.
Russian and Chinese state-owned oil firms are taking advantage of weakness among Western oil majors to snap up acquisitions on the cheap, reports the FT. Europe says it will come up with a plan to deal with the seemingly inevitable Russian disruption of natural-gas supplies this winter, in the WSJ.
Paul Krugman is puzzled at the difficulties Congress faces in tackling climate change: "What makes the apparent paralysis of policy especially alarming is that so little is happening when the political situation seems, on the surface, to be so favorable to action."
There's plenty of discontent with the energy and climate bills the House produced. Environmentalists feel cheated by the watered-down bill, and especially by what they see as passivity from the White House, in the NYT. Businesses which supported a cap-and-trade bill find they don't really support this cap-and-trade bill, in the WSJ. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce explains some reasons why, while environmental business coalition CERES argues that inaction on the climate front will be a lot more costly, in Politico.
For what it's worth, Barack Obama says a clean-energy revolution (along with health care and education) are the pillars for rebuilding an economy from the "wreckage of the recession," in the WaPo.
The Guardian rounds up 20 daring ideas to save the planet, the results of the Manchester Conference on geo-engineering and technology fixes to the climate crisis. This week, the U.S. secretaries of commerce and energy will be in China laying the groundwork for U.S-Chinese cooperation on clean energy, in China Daily.
The L.A. Times edit page frets that wind power, and clean energy in general, is stymied by the credit crunch, cheaper fossil fuels, and transmission problems. The answer? A more robust renewable-energy standard and plenty of federal help on the transmission front.
Solar has its woes, too—Earth2Tech details the seven big trends that will shape solar power's efforts to recover from the crisis. In Europe, a dozen mostly-German firms will unveil today plans for the half-trillion dollar solar complex in the Sahara Desert, meant to power Africa and Europe alike, in the FT.

By Harry Lipsiea Journal Sports On a warm September day, the Lake Region State College golf season got underway Wednesday at the Creel Bay Golf Course.That was the site of the annual Lake Region State College Invitational as five college teams including 34 golfers hit the links.
"This was an increase from last year's tournament with four teams and 22 golfers," Blake Reinholt, first-year Royal golf coach, told the Journal. Lake Region State College had six golfers in all compete on the day.
Five individuals on the men's team and one shooting on the women's side of things. It proved to be a historic day for the Royal program as freshman Kelsey Schlenk won the meet with a score of 84. Her tournament win is the first time a Lake Region State College golfer has won an individual tournament.
The freshman from East Grand Forks, Minn., took first by five strokes. It was an impressive performance by Schlenk, Reinholt said.
"Winning by 5 strokes is quite the accomplishment," he said. "I was more impressed by the fact that there were 3-4 holes in which she left a few strokes out there and could've easily came in under 80. We're excited to watch her get better and continue to compete for the top spots at tournaments throughout the fall."
On the men's side, Eric Gullicks led the way for the Royals shooting an 84. Teammate Bryce Burnett finished with a score of 89. Taylor Foss shot a 99. Bryce Karl and Ben Morris rounded out the squad with scores of 134 and 136, respectively. Overall, the coach felt that the tournament was a good way to kick off the season.
"Having a lot of freshman on the roster, it was nice to have their first meet on their home course to help with their comfort level," Reinholt said.

Animated Shorts: From 'Saints' to 'Hellboy'
by Steve Fritz
Date: 26 August 2008 Time: 05:49 PM ET
Ani Shorts: Talking with Brooke Burgess
Two years back, Animated Shorts did a feature on an up and coming animator, Brooke Burgess, and a web-only project he managed to get Fox to re-release as a DVD set, Broken Saints. To say this young Canadian has been a busy man since then is one hell of an understatement, particularly if you are a fan of Will Smith and/or Guillermo Del Toro.For those not familiar with Broken Saints, Burgess originally intended it to be a novel or comic book while he was working for EA Sports. He left the company to work on his idea when he came upon fellow game heads Ian Kirby and Andrew West. Utilizing Flash 4, they turned Burgess story into an original web-only, animated graphic novel. With the financial aid of fans, the series turned into a true internet phenomenon. So much so that Fox Home Entertainment collected the entire set and released it as DVDs on August 1, 2006 and too much acclaim. "It was a case of one thing led to another," Burgess remembers. "I Am Legend happened right after Broken Saints came out on DVD. Will (Smith) and Jada (Pinkett-Smith) really liked what we did with Broken Saints, and wanted us to do something in the same vein." [Newsarama Note: original Saints artist Andrew West did the art on one of the exclusive Legend animations, Shelter, written by fantasy star Orson Scott Card]

Remember Nanosolar? The solar manufacturer, located in South San Jose's Edenvale clean-technology zone, is one of several solar startups using CIGS -- copper indium gallium selenide -- instead of silicon for its solar cells and panels.
It makes its solar cells in San Jose and assembles them into panels at its factory in Luckenwalde, Germany. It's raised millions of dollars from investors, including Benchmark Capital and Mohr Davidow Ventures, and recently raised an additional $20 million.
But the company has struggled for years with a widely held perception in Silicon Valley that it makes lofty promises and can't deliver. Nanosolar shipped a tiny 10 megawatts in 2011 and faces formidable competition from players like Solar Frontier.
Now Nanosolar says it is ramping up production and plans to ship 70 to 80 megawatts in 2012.
In January, Nanosolar named Eugenia Corrales, a veteran of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Cisco Systems (CSCO), chief executive. Corrales joined Nanosolar in 2010 as executive vice president of engineering and operations and has spent most of her career turning prototypes into real products. This newspaper recently met with Corrales.
The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Q: In solar power, efficiency refers to the amount of sunlight that is converted into electricity, and all solar manufacturers are eager to boost their efficiency levels without adding cost. Cells made by San Jose-based SunPower (SPWRA) have a minimum efficiency of 22 percent, the highest in the solar industry. Nanosolar makes solar cells and panels. What's the efficiency of each -- not in the lab, but in what you're actually shipping to customers?
A: We're currently shipping 12.5 percent efficient cells and 11.5 percent efficient panels; we'll release a 12.5 percent efficient panel in the second quarter.
Q: The bankruptcy of Solyndra -- which made tubular solar panels using CIGS -- has fueled a perception that CIGS are too expensive and can't compete with low-cost Chinese manufacturers. Why are you so optimistic?
A: They are the lowest-cost alternative to silicon and have huge potential in terms of efficiency. We have a "champion cell" in our lab at 17 percent -- we're not in production with that yet, but we can get there. Innovation comes in waves, and silicon has hit a plateau. These solar cells are still the next wave of innovation.
Q: Many American solar manufacturers are expected to go out of business in 2012. Edgar Gunther, an influential solar blogger here in the valley, is running a poll on http://guntherportfolio.com that asks which solar startup will fail next, and Nanosolar has been leading with the most votes, followed by SoloPower and MiaSolé. Do you have enough money to make it?
A: Yes. We just raised another round of funding from existing and additional investors.
Q: You've spent most of your career at HP and Cisco -- two very different Silicon Valley companies with distinct corporate cultures. What's the main experience that you gained from each?
A: I was at HP in the late 1980s and '90s, and HP taught me a huge amount: the "HP Way," the importance of investing in your people. I had a mentor assigned to me every year, which was invaluable. Cisco is an execution machine, and I had a blast there -- it's all about taking ideas to high-volume production. I ran product operations for Cisco-branded productions, which was a $7 billion operation.
Q: Geoff Tate, Nanosolar's former CEO, recruited you in May 2010 to serve as the executive vice president of engineering and operations, and since you arrived, cumulative shipments have gone from zero to 10 megawatts. Was the plan for you to become CEO all along?
A: I ran 80 percent of the company -- all of operations and engineering -- before I became CEO, so it was a logical transition. The board could have asked someone else; I'm flattered that they asked me.
Q: What's the biggest challenge Nanosolar faces?
A: The biggest challenge is the market environment; there's been a huge oversupply of solar -- inventory is sitting in warehouses, and people are dumping products. There's a lot of hesitation around the whole market, and that's something we have to overcome. But we finally have a "show me" story, not a "trust me" story. It's "look at what we've done."

ingredient information
Potassium Nitrate
Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula KNO3. A naturally occurring mineral source of nitrogen, KNO3 constitutes a critical oxidizing component of black powder/gunpowder. In the past it was also used for several kinds of burning fuses, including slow matches. Potassium nitrate readily precipitates from mixtures of salts, and decomposing urine was the main commercial source of the nitrate ion, through various means, from the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern era through the 19th century. Its common names include saltpetre (saltpeter in American English), from Medieval Latin sal petræ: "stone salt" or possibly "Salt of Petra", nitrate of potash, and nitre (American niter). For specific information about the naturally occurring mineral, see niter. The name Chile saltpetre (American "Chile saltpeter") is applied to sodium nitrate, a similar nitrogen compound that is also used in explosives and fertilizers. The major problem of using the cheaper sodium nitrate in gunpowder is its tendency to go damp.

Using Oscillators To Time Stock Trades
Fears of far-reaching government oversight in the financial industry and weak economic data coming out of Philadelphia are contributing to today's modest decline in the market. Many fear that this bill will hurt the financial sector as more government oversight is required. The bank bill implies that the government can have access to control banks when they are in a vulnerable situation.
Weak economic data from Philadelphia also disappointed analysts. I am concerned that the same people who termed "too big to fail" and bailed out these big banks causing huge amounts of debt for future generations are designing the legislation to "prevent" it in the future.
These last few weeks I have been warning subscribers about this decline and the possibility of a major drop following the very bearish death cross. For timely updates and specific recommendation please subscribe to my free newsletter at my website at http://goldstocktrades.com.

After a six day rally U.S. equities became quite overbought. I use oscillators to time market entry. Oscillators are used to identify short term market extremes. If the trend is moving lower, I will use the oscillator to tell me when the market is overbought for a short entry point. The recent market bounce with six straight up days gave extremely overbought readings. This means this recent rally went too far too fast.
The indexes now have downward sloping 50 day and a flattening 200 day moving average. Poor price volume action continues to plague this market as the rally has been on low volume which shows a lack of support from institutional investors. The slope of the 200 day moving average turning negative will confirm the death cross and a failure to break through the 200 day and continued weakness will be another bearish confirmation.
Yesterday, those overbought conditions were signaled and it coincided with the Dow reaching the 200 day moving average. Today's downward reversal from the 200 day is indicating that this counter-trend rally is completing. Traders might want to think of going short at this point as most traders who were shorting when the index broke to new lows have covered. It is also an opportunity to move to cash if you still have long positions.

HIV & AIDS Health Center
Safe Food and Water for HIV Patients
In this article
What should I do when shopping for food?
- Read food labels carefully. Be sure that all dairy products that you purchase have been pasteurized. Do not buy any food that contains raw or undercooked meat or eggs if it is meant to be eaten raw. Be sure that the "sell by" date has not passed.
- Put packaged meat, poultry, or fish in separate plastic bags to prevent their juices from dripping onto other groceries or each other.
- Check the package that the food comes in to make sure that it isn't damaged.
- Do not buy food that has been displayed in unsafe or unclean conditions. Examples include meat that is allowed to sit without refrigeration or cooked shrimp that is displayed with raw shrimp.
- After shopping, put all cold and frozen foods into your refrigerator or freezer as soon as you can. Do not leave food sitting in the car. Keeping cold or frozen food out of refrigeration for even a couple of hours can give germs a chance to grow.
Is it safe for me to eat in restaurants?
Yes. Like grocery stores, restaurants follow guidelines for cleanliness and good hygiene set by the health department. However, you should follow these general rules in restaurants:
- Order all food well done. If meat is served pink or bloody, send it back to the kitchen for more cooking. Fish should be flaky, not rubbery, when you cut it.
- Order fried eggs cooked on both sides. Avoid eggs that are "sunny-side up." Scrambled eggs should be cooked until they are not runny. Do not order foods that may contain raw eggs, such as Caesar salad or hollandaise sauce. If you aren't sure about the ingredients in a dish, ask your waiter before you order.
- Do not order any raw or lightly steamed fish or shellfish, such as oysters, clams, mussels, sushi, or sashimi. All fish should be cooked until done.
Should I take special measures with food and water in other countries?
Yes. Not all countries have high standards of food hygiene. You need to take special care abroad, particularly in developing countries. Follow these rules when in other countries:
- Do not eat uncooked fruits and vegetables unless you can peel them. Avoid salads.
- Eat cooked foods while they are still hot.
- Boil all water before drinking it. Use only ice made from boiled water. Drink only canned or bottled drinks or beverages made with boiled water.
- Steaming-hot foods, fruits you peel yourself, bottled and canned processed drinks, and hot coffee or tea should be safe.
Talk with your health care provider about other advice on travel abroad.

Kathryn Keppel, 1926
Courtesy of the Holland Museum Archives
Kathryn Keppel (April 20, 1904-September 29, 1946), called Kay by her family, was the second youngest daughter of Albert and Kate Keppel. She graduated from Hope College in 1926 with her teaching certificate. Moving to a small mining town in the upper peninsula of Michigan, she taught drama and debate at the local high school. In 1928, she toured Europe alongside her sister Vera.
After moving away from Holland upon graduating from Hope, Kay was always writing home. The family's collection contains numerous letters, most of which are from Kay. She wrote almost every day at one point, telling her parents about the latest debate match, play or what she was doing at home. Her letters always include little drawings, sketched in the margins.
She got a job at Traverse City High School upon returning from Europe and moved there in 1928. There she taught English and drama. Her younger sister Lois joined her in Traverse City a year later. Soon after she moved to Traverse City, she met Bill Votruba, whom she married on September 6, 1930. She had three children: William Keppel (b. 1934), Evelyn Kay (b. 1938), and David Christian (b. 1944). Tragically, Kathryn died in her sleep on September 29, 1946 at the age of 42.

An open letter to the martial arts community about conduct in the dojo

Re: An open letter to the martial arts community about conduct in the dojo
Geoff Byers
I was talking about myself, not Ashley.
Surely it depends on how you train in those two years? I'm sure it takes longer on average, but if you're training very intensively, and you have the benefits of excellent instruction and skilled aikidoka to train with, I wouldn't be surprised.
Of course every one is different, but my point is that the list of proposed questions made it seem like all instructors should be able to train a dedicated student 2 years to shodan on a regular basis, and I think that is a bit ridiculous. If I lived near my hombu dojo, and was able to do 2 classes a day every day, I'm sure 2 years is a perfectly realistic goal. However most Aikido students aren't able to give up their life obligations to do nothing but train, even if they are dedicated and wished that they could. I feel 2 years to shodan seems to be an unrealistic goal in general, and having to come up with an explanation as to why they are unable to take every dedicated student to shodan in 2 years doesn't seem helpful in the terms of having instructors take a hard look at themselves and the environment they are creating in their dojos.

In addition to leading peers through activities the Teaching Associates also shared their experiences working at the camp. Applications will be available in November for summer 2007.
Meaghan Hurst & Michelle Zentgraf were TAs for the light, color & sound group. They shared lessons and activities with magnifiers, pinhole cameras and lenses.
Joyce Andrew & Mary Neimeyer had the group building stomp rockets and clinometers (devices used to measure the altitude a rocket reaches). This was a nice integration of science and math.
Kim Watten & Jill Grace led students through a forensics activity that used chromatography to solve a mystery. Students then learned about how to create "Wanted Posters" - a nice integration of reading/writing and science.
Our presenters did a great job and everyone seemed to enjoy what they learned.
12, 2006 Physics Activities for the Upper Elementary/Middle School Classroom
50+ students spent the evening learning about Newton's Laws. We discussed associated misconceptions, saw demonstrations and did activities to help teach the topic. Students made balloon rockets and twirly pencils, tried out a few demonstrations and threw some eggs!

Natural resources are the foundation for our lives and lifestyles.
What would our lives be like without mining? Imagine a world without transportation such as jet planes or railroads, without communications such as cell phones or radar, without decorative items such as art or jewelry, without buildings such as skyscrapers or parking garages, without defense systems items such as missiles or submarines, without medical care items such as X-rays or surgical tools. We wouldn't have any of these things without mining and minerals.
Hafnium is a bright silver, ductile, lustrous metallic element with a very high melting point. Its atomic number is 72 and its symbol is Hf. Hafnium is the 45th most abundant element in the Earth's crust with an average crustal abundance of 3 ppm (parts per million). The element was discovered by Dirk Coster and George Charles von Hevesey by separating it from zirconium in 1923.
Hafnium does not react with air, water, acids or bases. It is similar to the element cadmium in that it absorbs neutrons. This feature makes hafnium useful as a control rod material in nuclear reactors.
There is no biological use or benefit for hafnium. It is present in ocean water in very small amounts, specifically 0.008 ppb by weight (parts per billion). For comparison, hafnium is far more concentrated in the Earth's crust at 3,300 ppb by weight.
The name hafnium was given by its Danish discoverers, Coster and von Hevesey, and was created from the Latin name Hafnia which means Copenhagen, in honor of the capital city of Denmark.
Sources:Hafnium is retrieved as a by-product from zirconium ore minerals. In a typical zirconium ore, there is a Zr:Hf ratio of about 50:1. The mineral zircon is the primary ore source of hafnium. Most zircon (and, therefore, hafnium) is mined from titanium-rich, heavy-mineral sand deposits. Hafnium and zirconium are both used in nuclear reactors. In this application, each must be pure and free from the other. The manufacture of nuclear-grade zirconium therefore produces hafnium as a by-product and, the manufacture of nuclear-grade hafnium produces zirconium as a by-product. This processing actually produces more hafnium than is consumed. Unused hafnium is stored as hafnium oxide or hafnium metal. Geologists estimate the hafnium resources in the United States total 130,000 tons. (By comparison, zirconium resources are about 14 million tons.) World resources of hafnium are estimated at over 1 million tons. Hafnium is imported to the United States in a variety of forms, including hafnium oxide and scrap metals containing hafnium. The majority of the hafnium imported comes from France. Other world producers of hafnium-bearing minerals include Germany, the United Kingdom, Brazil, China, India, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United States.
The most significant use of hafnium is in the production of special alloys known as superalloys. Superalloys are alloys (mixtures) of metals that are designed to withstand high-stress situations, such as very high temperatures and pressures. Such metals can include iron, nickel, chromium, titanium, niobium, hafnium and other metals. Because of its ability to absorb neutrons, it is used to control nuclear reactions in fission reactors, including the nuclear reactors that power nuclear submarines. Hafnium is also used as a "scavenger" metal in the retrieval of oxygen and nitrogen. A scavenger metal is one which aids in the collection of gases without reacting with them to form other compounds.
Substitutes and Alternative Sources:
Silver-cadmium-indium alloys can be used in place of hafnium as control rods in nuclear reactors. In the production of superalloys, zirconium can often be used in place of hafnium. In some applications, only hafnium gives the desired qualities and so no substitute is possible. However, the abundance of hafnium in storage (and the fact that its production outpaces its consumption) means there is no immediate danger of running short of this rare element.

MARTINSBURG -The former president of the Waynesboro (Pa.) Borough Council indicted in connection with a bar fight in Martinsburg that left a Virginia man with a traumatic brain injury accepted a plea offer Thursday that could see him plead guilty to one count of misdemeanor battery.
Craig L. Newcomer, aka "Guido," of West Third Street, Waynesboro, was named in a two-count indictment in October 2011 by a Berkeley County grand jury charging him with malicious assault and conspiracy to commit malicious assault in connection with the Feb. 13, 2011, incident.
He is accused of striking 44-year-old Ernest Eugene Cumbie at the Dirty Dawg Saloon, located at 1019 S. Queen St.
Newcomer stepped down as council president shortly after being charged in connection with the incident, but retained his seat as a Ward 3 councilman.
He appeared with his attorney Thursday before West Virginia 23rd Judicial Circuit Judge Christopher Wilkes for a hearing in the a case, at which time it was announced that a plea agreement had been reached.
Under the terms of the proposed plea agreement, Newcomer will plead guilty to the misdemeanor battery charge, a lesser included offense malicious assault, and will face a maximum sentence of one year in jail.
As part of the plea agreement, his attorney will be free to argue for alternative sentencing, but sentencing will be in the discretion of the court. Berkeley County Prosecutor Pamela Games-Neely said that if the court does grant an alternative sentence, the state will recommend that Newcomer be sentenced to five years of probation. The plea agreement would also require Newcomer to pay restitution to the victim. Games-Neely said the reason the plea agreement was offered was because of the availability of witnesses in the case.
Newcomer had been scheduled to go to trial next week in Berkeley County Circuit Court. Wilkes ordered that a pre-plea investigation be conducted before he decides whether to accept the proposed plea agreement. He ordered a pre-plea report returnable by April 29.
A co-defendant in the case, Benjamin J. Bean, aka "4th Grade," of Sharpsburg, Md., was indicted on one count of conspiracy to commit malicious assault. Bean is accused of providing false statements to police.
Bean was also offered a plea agreement in the case, but declined to accept it, Games-Neely said Thursday.
Bean is scheduled to go to trial Tuesday in Berkeley County Circuit Court and will also appear Monday for a pre-trial hearing in the case.

'Creativity is at the heart of the business' seems to be a familiar slide in the credentials of every agency. The term is bandied about without clear definition of what it is or the factors required to foster it.
To some it is simply seen as the result of exposure of, and subsequent adaptation to, repetitive processes – however inspiring they once were. To others, it will always be seen as a certain 'je ne sais quois' that gives one creative execution a head start over another.
Whatever the reality, the need for creativity has never been more prominent. The growth in digital, combined with the increased focus on measurable results, means that agencies which harness true creativity can demonstrate a clear competitive edge.
BD Network has developed a programme to ensure that its creative teams are continuously forward thinking and brimming with fresh ideas. Realising that the best creatives are able to combine an inquisitive approach to the world with robust industry experience, this programme has delivered a number of benefits. In addition to developing the agency's core advantage, it has become central to attracting and retaining the best creative thinkers through engagement, individuality and freedom of expression.
Over the years highlights have included a project in association with East London's Art Against Knives movement, where BD Network creatives designed a series of 'Creatures': mythical beasts so perfectly created they could adorn any wall. In total, 30 designs were created and displayed at AKK Boxpark gallery with the original artwork auctioned off at BD Network's gallery open evening.
Our most recent campaign involved the redesigning of posters for famous iconic movies. The brief was that the posters could be as minimal or as complex as necessary, but there were some rules. The creative could not look like the original, the logo and title needed to be redesigned, and no stills could be used (although stills could be illustrated). With such an open brief there were many different techniques, with some focusing on beautiful illustrations, whereas others had stunning typography.
As well as being proud of the results, the posters are now available for view by the public in BD Network's offices in Shoreditch, E1.
Daniel Fitzpatrick is design director at BD Network

CMT Crossroads: Joe Walsh & Friends
CMT's latest installment of the rock-meets-country series Crossroads tries something new, pairing Joe Walsh with numerous handpicked guests who join the rock-guitar great exclusively on material associated with Walsh's career—no one-on-one song-and-style swapping.
Joe revisits his biggest solo hits but takes full advantage of his longtime association with country-rock trailblazers the Eagles, a band that enjoys widespread favor with the twang-inclined. Even so, the show skews heavily toward classic rock, from Brad Paisley's intense guitar interplay with Joe on "Rocky Mountain Way" to ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons taking the stage for the Eagles' decidedly non-country "Life in the Fast Lane."
Joe's broad, ongoing appeal is suggested in the age range of his enthusiastic guests: Hunter Hayes, rising 20-year-old country-pop wunderkind (who youthfully injects showy ad-libs into "In the City"); 30-something Luke Bryan, who brings an "aw shucks" rural vibe to "Life's Been Good"; and 40-ish Sara Evans, who duets on the Eagles' slow-dance standby "Best of My Love." The song, which predates Joe's membership in the once-winsome West Coast band, proves less than ideal for his rubbery tenor but results in a sweet change of pace.

FCHN Volunteers Honored
May 13, 2009
Volunteers who were among those contributing the most hours included (from left): Roberta French, Gene Martineau, Trudy Dawson, Alvin McDonald, Doris Munson, Elaine Wing, and Albertine Smith.
FCHN Volunteers Honored: Program has 250 volunteers contributing more than 27,000 hours per year
Franklin Memorial Hospital's Bass Conference Room was the festive setting for a recognition celebration for the health network's volunteers. The program included a social time and dinner and entertainment by the Franklin County Fiddlers. All volunteers attending received a special gift in recognition of their volunteer efforts, as well as pins and service bars.
The program was in memory of Cecil Holman, Donald Hart, Ruth Buxton, and Phyllis Adams volunteers who have passed away since the last recognition. Collectively, they gave over 18,000 hours of volunteer service to the program. Charlie Woodcock, FMH Director of Volunteers, paused for a moment-of-silence in their memory.
Rebecca Ryder, FCHN President/CEO, welcomed and thanked the group for their quality work and added, "Tonight is all about you. We treasure your contributions and you are vital to the success of this institution." Ryder mentioned that with 250 volunteers this past year helping out in some 40 hospital departments, as well as affiliated Franklin Community Health Network organizations like Franklin Health, Evergreen Behavioral Services, and Healthy Community Coalition, the volunteer program is extremely strong for a small rural hospital. "Collectively, our volunteers contributed more than 27,000 hours of service," she said.
State representatives Tom Saviello and Lance Harvell presented Jan Hannaford with a legislative sentiment in recognition of her 28 years of service to Franklin Memorial Hospital, the last nine years of which she served as Director of Volunteers. Hannaford retired in February 2009.
Volunteers can be found greeting patients at the escort desk, parking cars, filing forms in medical records, processing orders in shipping and receiving, calling patients to remind them of their appointments, and much more.
Before presenting the awards, Woodcock acknowledged Elaine Wing, who had volunteered the longest (33 years); Albertine Smith who volunteered the most hours overall (7,500); and Patty Kilkenny who volunteered the most hours this year (778).
Special recognition was given to those volunteers who contributed the greatest number of hours overall since joining the program. They included: Trudy Dawson, Margaret Durdin, Roberta French, Eugene Martineau, Alvin McDonald, Doris Munson, Regeanne Paradis, Albertine Smith, Allen Smith, and Elaine Wing.
Woodcock also acknowledged volunteers who are couples. They include: Norm and Linda Blodgett, Bob and Mabel Cox, Skip and Erlane Dyke, Dale and Judy Fairbanks, Bob and Nancy Flick, Mark and Deborah Flight, Richard and Roberta Fogg, Leslie and Betty Gatchell, Dick and Linda Giard, Lewis and Shirley Holbrook, Lyle and Gail Karkos, Ed and Jan Lewis, Alvin and Kitty MacDonald, Eugene and Jeanne Martineau, Nye and Carol Nye, Malcolm and Myrna Orff, David and Catherine Perna, Erland and Jean Rand, Glenn and Jean Stowe, Steve and Judy Townley, and John and Judy Wilbur.
Woodcock welcomes calls from anyone who might be interested in volunteering at Franklin Memorial Hospital. She can be reached at 779-2552.

Born in New York City, architect Bernard Maybeck (1862–1957) studied for a time at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1892, he moved to Berkeley, CA, where he taught at the University of California and began leaving his imprint, one building at a time, throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Maybeck is best known for his work on the West Coast, but Principia College was his largest commission, and the 11 extant buildings he designed for our campus comprise a significant portion of his architectural legacy. (In all, twelve Maybeck buildings were constructed at the College, along with one in Elsah, Illinois. He designed several additional campus buildings, but they were never executed.)
Maybeck worked on the Principia commission in one capacity or another from 1923 until 1940. In 1931, during the Great Depression, ground was broken for the Chapel, the first Maybeck construction begun on campus. The first graduation held on the current campus took place in 1934 in the newly completed Chapel, but the College didn't relocate to Elsah until the following February, when sufficient buildings were complete for campus life to proceed normally.
Construction of Maybeck's designs continued beyond the architect's retirement, with the final one, Sylvester House, going up in 1946. In 1951, Maybeck received the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects, which has since named him one of the ten greatest architects in America. In 1993, the College was designated a National Historic Landmark in recognition of Maybeck's work. Learn more.

Food Habits
Gentoo penguins are carnivores and mainly consume fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. Different times of the year mark different percentages of their diet. Krill (Euphausia vallentini) and shrimp (Nauticaris marioni) make up most of the crustacean diet. In February and March, crustaceans make up about 10% of their diet but from March to June it jumps to 75%. All other times of the year, crustaceans are absent from their diet.
From June to October, rockcod (Lepidonotothen squamifrons) make up 90% of their diet, but they also consume unicorn icefish (Channichthys rhinoceratus). Cephalopods only make up 10% of their diet during the year. The main types of cephalopods foraged on are octopi and sometimes small squid. The seasonal diet variation is due the presence of other penguin species during breeding season, seasonal migration of prey, as well as the availability of prey at varying depths. Most other penguins forage in deeper waters which will push some prey species closer to shore and into the prime range for gentoos.
Gentoo penguins feed in shallow regions. When they are underwater, their metabolic rate slows down enabling them to stay underwater for longer periods to forage.
During the chick-rearing stage, parent gentoos will return to the nest and regurgitate their freshly caught food for their chicks to eat.
Animal Foods: fish; mollusks; aquatic crustaceans
Primary Diet: carnivore (Piscivore )

1. I can't get Mediaserver to save my settings? I'm running the latest version and running as administrator. Seems like a fairly minor problem but pretty annoying.
2. I can't seem to get the mediaserver to transcode .m4v files. I have to go into the transcode folder and play the no encode version. Then it works.
But it's a pain that it doesn't work transcoded. All other files do. Add to that that i can't save my settings...and it's pretty much a no win situation.
Anyone know the solutions? Thx.

Sports :: VS bowlers set new season high scores during Friday's contest vs. Marion
· 9:02am January 28th, 2014

Sierra Goodell
Four of the six Vinton-Shellsburg boys varsity bowlers rolled a 200+ game during Friday's home contest vs. Marion. Led by Cole Garwood's 201/244 and Daniel Janssen's 234/204, the Vikings defeated Marion at Berry's Lanes.
The young varsity girls team -- with only three members who had bowled before the beginning of this inaugural season -- continues to improve, said coach Amber Pattee. They lost to Marion by just 153 total pins.
"Both varsity teams exceeded my expectations on Friday," said Pattee. "The Boys team bowled over 200 pins above their average and the Girls team bowled 400 pins over their average. I am so proud at how the teams are working together."
Coach Pattee mentioned several bowlers who had "great games" on Friday: Caitlyn Martin, 190 and Alyssa Bunge, 183 for the girls.
For the boys: Tyler Rasmussen (JV), 231; Cole Garwood, 201 and 244; Nick Stein, 204; Daniel Janssen, 234 and 204, and Jacob Gosse, 234.
This Friday, the VS bowlers take on Waverly-Shellrock in Waverly.
"They are definitely up for the challenge," says the coach.
The spectators' area, as it is during every home event, was full of parents watching their children compete.
Coach Pattee said the bowlers are realizing that she has a lot of knowledge of the sport. The biggest challenge she faces is understanding the styles of those who have been bowling for a while and helping them improve.
Coach Pattee said her goal for the bowlers every contest is to have fun and improve each time.

Did you try with Adobe's Pdf Reader for Palm? It worked on my TX for 1
1.5MB file. Used to work on my TE too. Not sure if the "head room" you
mentioned is the same as the internal memory, which TX has over 100MB
for applications.
Before TX, I used to use Vx and TE. I have been using the TX for about
10 months now and I'm happy with it. To be honest, there are many
things Palm could have done better since TE. Perhaps they have shifted
their attention to the Treo and let the Pda slide and die naturally.
