When you're a kid, doesn't your Mom almost seem...magical...?
Those kisses, though only using the placebo affect, really do make those boo boos feel better. Moms overwork themselves, under reward them selves and really, more than anyone; husband and children alike, Moms are the worst offenders when it comes to taking themselves for granted. Some of us work outside the home, some of us try to work from home and some of us, our only jobs ARE our homes and families. I am of the last group, and I HAVE to say, I cannot imagine doing all I do everyday AND going to work from 9-5 so kudos, to those who do!
Your Mom is the beginning. The foundation upon which you will grow and your first example. She should always be the BEST example too, because you're the one whose instruction will stick with you throughout your life. After she is gone, you will still have the wisdom she has imparted on you. It may be your ability to cook, your love for reading, or Magical Mama remedies. So I'm going to give you ten Mom truths/remedies/reminders that will get you through life.
1. Chicken soup can cure almost anything that ails you. Whether you're physically sick, emotionally sick, or just home sick, a good bowl of chicken soup can help. It might be different for everyone. It could be Grandma's special recipe, or come from a can. For me it's Mrs Grass' chicken soup mix (you know the kind with the golden egg?) My dad used to make it when I was a kid, so it has a double meaning for me.
2. Eyes in the back of your head. Not necessarily. We've just learned to keep one eye on you, no matter what we're doing. It also means a keen sense of hearing, and making sure to watch more closely when you're being quiet or we hear a sound we shouldn't be hearing (like when I hear the sound of the marker bag slowly being opened and you know you're not supposed to use them around your brother without asking). I always tell her to put them away and ALWAYS, ALWAYS you come back with 'MOM, how did you know?!' No matter what is it you were getting into'
3. Built in ththermometer. As a kid, I never understood how Mom's KNEW their kids had a fever just based on touch. I was actually worried that I lacked the ability to tell and this would someday be a detriment. Fear not though, for I have discovered that when they spend SO much time in your arms, you KNOW when they are *too* hot and so you know when to act.
4. Sunny cleaning her room is a big thing in our house. It usually starts with 'Is your room clean?' and she has to go check. Lately, since school has started, it's been yes, or she only has to empty her laundry basket. I go up there every morning after drop off and make her bed and put away clean clothes. But sometimes, particularly on the weekend, it's not clean and she has some work to do. I always remind her to put the barbies, stuffies, clothes and books in their appropriate places. A LOT of times I find things shoved up under her bed. Like, all the time, to the max. Then she looks as me sheepishly and says 'oops.' I remind her that I was 5 once too, and I know where she likes to hide toys. Then she has to RE-clean. Hopefully *someday* she'll realize it goes quicker if she does it right the first time.
5. Kissing boo-boos. A mother's love has SOME sort of healing properties. It has to. Because every time Bubber comes to me with an 'oush,' I always kiss it and say 'all better!' Then he walks away happy, because he BELIEVES Mommy's kisses can cure him. If that's not humbling, I don't know what is.
6. Built in lie-detector. We all lie when we're kids. Sometimes it's to keep from getting in trouble, sometimes it's because you wish your life was different, and sometimes it's to spare some one's feelings. But having watched Sunny grow the past (ooooh almost 6 years waaaaahhh) I've learned her tells. She'll play with her hands, she won't look right at me (or she will pretend to, but will actually look PAST me). She's also real quiet. Like if she says it too loudly, I'll catch her. The MOST telling thing though, is not the look of her when she lies, but the look of her when she tells the truth. Confident, firm and makes sure I hear her. A gentle reminder, is usually all they need. Remind them that they will get in LESS trouble, if they come to you with the truth first. That's been our number one rule with her in the past year. I *HOPE* it's helping.
Did I forget any? Do you have any Mom/child magic power stories to share?

Definition of passive in English:
1Accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance: the women were portrayed as passive victims
More example sentences
- Historians are now concerned with resistance in active and passive forms, organised and impromptu, group and individual, male and female, political, economic, and cultural.
- Active, not passive, response is called forth as is perseverance over the long haul.
- As Hickey noted, peasants have many methods of passive and active resistance, and force is often counterproductive as a motivator.
submissive, acquiescent, unresisting, yielding, unassertive, non-resistant, compliant, complaisant, pliant, resigned, obedient, docile, tractable, malleable, pliable, meek, subdued, deferential, forbearing, long-suffering, patient, lamblike, non-violent, supine;
archaic resistless
2 Grammar Denoting a voice of verbs in which the subject undergoes the action of the verb (e.g. they were killed as opposed to the active form he killed them). The opposite of active.
Example sentences
- But the framers set a grammatical conundrum for us when they put the main clause in the passive voice: 'shall not be infringed'.
- Nominalization is one way to avoid reference to the agent of an action (here, who did the shooting), but it's not the same as using the passive voice.
- The general pattern appears to be that the unmarked, active voice acts as a same function category, while the marked, passive voice indicates a switch in function.
3(Of a circuit or device) containing no source of electromotive force: a passive optical network is to be installed in 2000 homes
More example sentences
- As the demand for optical reach continues to increase, passive filters are no longer sufficient, and greater individual wavelength control is required.
- Most optical gas sensors are passive, relying on the inherent spectroscopic properties of the gases themselves.
- The pipette is simply a passive device that enables the recording, whereas a planar electrode offers the opportunity to further integrate devices on chip.
3.1(Of radar or a satellite) receiving or reflecting radiation from a transmitter or target rather than generating its own signal: passive sensors detect the emissions from enemy radar
More example sentences
- System and method for determining the location of a transmitter using passive reflectors or refractors as proxy receivers and using database querying
- It can be fired as a long-range standoff missile, or its all-aspect passive radar homing seeker can be used to detect and attack targets of opportunity.
- The 82845GV GMCH is just adjacent, and is cooled by a rather small passive heatsink only.
3.2(Of a heating system) making use of incident sunlight as an energy source: bananas can be grown at the highest altitude using passive solar heating alone
More example sentences
- A skylight can be an efficient and desirable source of passive solar heating, assuming that you need the heat.
- Other systems include integrated wastewater treatment, photovoltaic electrical systems, solar hot water and passive solar heating.
- Energy-conscious design may combine conservation methods, such as insulation and thermostat set-back, with passive solar heating.
4 Chemistry (Of a metal) made unreactive by a thin inert surface layer of oxide.
Example sentences
- This chromium oxide film is passive and stable, and it seals the base metal from exposure to the atmosphere, thereby precluding further oxidation.
- The Nernst equation indicates whether passive K + uptake can be mediated by ion channels or if there is a need for carrier-mediated transport.
- I expected that the passive design would require a greater cooling surface area - or at least, metal tubing instead of plastic hoses to provide better thermal dissipation.
1A passive form of a verb.
Example sentences
- It was thought to be characterized by a fairly high proportion of such features as subordinate clauses, adjectives, the pronoun I and passives.
- With this framework, one can see politeness strategies in regularities of scientific style - such as the use of pronouns and of passives - that are usually explained in terms of conventions.
- But readies for does not occur at all, and the six occurrences of readied for are all passives (so they illustrate the transitive verb).
1.1 (the passive) The passive voice.
Example sentences
- We have already observed that during the time of Hellenistic Greek, the middle voice form was losing ground to the passive.
- This often works, but if you are writing in the active mood, the changes to the passive for the circumlocutions can be irksome.
- But I really do hate passive voice and buried claims like the plague.
- Example sentences
- They were well known for their political passiveness, a position supported by a deep-seated belief in impotency of ordinary folk in the face of political ambitions.
- They have a poor memory, which is the direct result of their general passiveness in world politics, as well as their general apathy towards their immediate environment.
- An increased awareness of the power of big business should provide an incentive to participate in the democratic process in order to end any passiveness on the part of the government.
Late Middle English (in sense 2 of the adjective, also in the sense '(exposed to) suffering, acted on by an external agency'): from Latin passivus, from pass- 'suffered', from the verb pati.

While cutting cucumbers (for refrigerator pickles), I sliced part of the tip of my thumb off.
I had to wear this giant, ridiculous bandage because danged if I was going to let my fingertip come between me and my dinner.
Speaking of dinner, Jordan and I ate a delicious, romantic, candlelit Christmas Eve dinner.
... in our pj's.
I made some awesome cookies.
Jordan and I broke tradition and exchanged presents. He surprised me with an espresso maker!
... which came broken.
Also, I felt my niece kick. I've felt babies kick before, but it's wonderful, and mysterious every time.
I already love her so much.
On Boxing Day...
The highlight for me was opening a package of Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe-Joes.
I basically transformed into Gollum, snatching the package away from Jordan and literally hugging it to my chest.

I don't think this is general. I've been writing notes from a
text book for a couple of years now, and the notes file is in excess of
200k now. No slowdown in Word, but it can take some time to open or
save the file.

High School never rocked this hard.

Holy Rage Against The Machine head-bangeing madness! Yes, I was in band in high school, but our band NEVER rocked as hard as these kids do! Keep an eye on red-shirt girl in the front. I think she just about blows some synaptic gaps with all that groovin. Hell, she probably already has a coke addiction, plays The Viper Room, and fucks groupies. Go band!

The same question has been asked on this list before. In the context of a
less ambitious request which was for 1.3.1 instead of 1.3. I believe the
short answer is no. Apparently one would need access to MPE source code to
do it. The only one with access to sources HP does not have budget for it.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Editor's Roundtable › Montbell Thermawrap Pant Review
@addiebedfordLocale: Montana
Companion forum thread to:
@adrianbLocale: Auckland, New Zealand
It seems a little unfair to compare to a virtually out of stock and presumably out of production product (the UL 60 Pant is only available in XS & XXL as I write this).
@jdmitchLocale: Kansas
Especially considering the cost savings of the Montbell as compared to the UL 60's.
@gliden2Locale: Northwest
I'm a fan of the Integral Designs PLQ Pants! They come in at 9.3oz in a Medium and are only $140. Simple,great insulator,fair price, and can actually find them instock. The Montbell Thermawrap seem to be feature rich at the cost of 3 oz more than the BMW Cocoon and PLQ Pants. If were to be using them in Winter pursuits then maybe, but if I'm just trying to add a couple degrees to my sleep system then I'd prefer the BMW Cocoon or the PLQ Pants.
I bought a pair of these pants at the beginning of this year, and would recommend them to anyone who needs a winter insulating layer. I was on a photo trip to Hokkaido, Japan and these kept me warm while standing and sitting in snow for hours in -15c weather.
They pack down nicely, hold up to a little rough handling with no problems, and allowed me to withstand cold beyond most of the other photographers on the trip. I have not done any exertion/hiking in these but the small amount of weight makes it an easy decision to bring them in case extra warmth is needed.
@slowhikeLocale: South East U.S.
I have a pair of the Montbell Thermawrap Pants & I loves them!!!
To me, the extra features, especially the full length side zips, are well worth the extra weight/bulk.
I have a much wider comfort range with the full length side zips.
In milder temps, I can leave the next to skin layers home & wear the Thermawrap pants in the eve & morn with out needing to take the hiking pants off to make the change.
@camperdanLocale: Southwestern Ohio
I used these pants on a winter trip in January '08 to Big South Fork NRRA, Tennessee. I slept under a cliff, with no tarp or tent. It got down to the single digits Saturday night/Sunday morning. While in camp, I wore them over Icebreaker 200 wt. bottoms and a pair of lightweight nylon Campmor hiking pants. They worked out great, I wasn't cold at all. The wind was gusting and changing directions, so I didn't get close to the fire, with all the sparks flying about. I sat around for about 2 1/2 hrs. before I hit the sack. It was great not having to take off my boots to put on these pants. I removed them before I crawled into my WM VersaLite bag for the night, but took 'em inside to keep them warm for morning.
I had also worn my Thermawrap Parka on this trip.
The full side zips are great, esp. when your boots are a mess and/or when it is very cold and windy. The pockets are very handy and the front zip a great convenience. I have size large. I normally wear a 35" waist and 30" inseam.
@rod_lawlorLocale: Australia
I bought a pair of these on-line last week. They're a nice pair of pants, but it's worth noting that, at least on the 2009 model, they don't have a full length side zip. To me, a full length side zip, is separating at the waist, which is what I expected. This allows you to don or doff the pants without removing snowshoes, skis or crampons.
These have a 7/8 zip, which comes up to just below the bottom of the zip up pocket. You can definitely get them on and off over boots, even a pair of Makalu midweight mountaineering boots, but there is no way I would try it with crampons on.

1996: George G. Blackburn
The information below is adapted from the news release issued in 1996
The Guns of Normandy: A Soldier's Eye View, France 1944 by George Blackburn (McClelland & Stewart) is the winner of the 1996 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction. Blackburn's gripping first-hand account of Canadians at war was considered by the panel of judges to be an outstanding example of the genre.
The Guns of Normandy won the Ottawa Citizen Book of the Year Award and was shortlisted for the Trillium Award. The Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction is the first national award for the book.
George Blackburn was a young journalist when he joined the Canadian army. After the war he began compiling a history based on his own experiences, the notes and diaries of others, official war diaries, and dozens of interviews. The Guns of Normandy (and its sequel, The Guns of Victory) are the result. In The Guns of Normandy George Blackburn puts the reader in the frontlines of this horrific battle.
In the most graphic and authentic detail, he brings to life every aspect of a soldier's existence, from the mortal terror of impending destruction, to the unending fatigue, to the giddy exhilaration at finding oneself still, inexplicably, alive.
What follows is the most harrowing and realistic account of what it is like to be in action, as the very lead man in the attack: an artillery observer calling in fire on the enemy positions. The story unfolds in the present tense, giving the uncomfortably real sense that "you are here".
On its publication last year The Guns of Normandy garnered some outstanding reviews: Toronto Sun columnist Peter Worthington said "...it is the best book I've ever read about the war in Europe from the Canadian soldier's viewpoint..." Legion Magazine's Douglas Fisher wrote "More vividly, and as accurately, and more thoroughly than Farley Mowat and his And No Birds Sang, George Blackburn has given us the soldiers' war." And H Clifford Chadderton, Chairman of the National Council of Veteran Associations, described The Guns of Normandy as "A masterpiece...it reads like a fine novel gripping, tense but its strength is in the stark realism. He was there."
George Blackburn was born in 1917. During the war he spent four and a half years in the Canadian Artillery, earning the rank of captain, a Military Cross, and the reputation of being the oldest surviving forward observation officer in the First Canadian Army. He was Director of Information for the Federal Labour Department where he worked for 22 years. He is a human rights advocate, who organized and directed the administration of an Act prohibiting discrimination in employment based on race, colour, religion or national origin. He has been a radio producer, scriptwriter and interviewer for a weekly show, Canada at Work, which was aired across 80 stations and which he produced for 10 years. His work as a film scriptwriter and a playwright has won several awards and he was also a lyricist and composer of a fullscale musical that was staged at Upper Canada Village in Ontario. Mr Blackburn was featured in the television documentary on Canada's role in the D-Day invasion, D-Day: The Final Reunion which aired nationally in June 1994. He passed away on November 15, 2006 in Ottawa.
Other Publications by George Blackburn:
- Where the Hell Are the Guns?: A Soldier's View of the Anxious Years, 1939-44 (1997)
- The Guns of Victory: A Soldier's Eye View, Belguim, Holland, and Germany, 1944-1945 (1996)
The shortlist for the 1996 Edna Staebler Award also included:
- Artists, Craftsmen and Technocrats by Patricia Pitcher (Stoddart);
- Stompin' Tom: Before the Fame by Stompin' Tom Connors (Viking);
- Women of the Klondike by Frances Backhouse (Whitecap).

Cutting Gardens; Fabulous, Flirty Flowers for Your Viewing Pleasure
Saturday, April 28th, 2012
Here's a classic gardener's dilemma. Should you leave the flowers in the garden for the entire neighborhood to enjoy, or bring them inside for you and the family to admire in the living room?
Why not do both? If you grow a large enough variety of plants, including annuals, perennials, vines, and flowering shrubs, there will be plenty of blossoms for all to see, sniff and admire indoors and out. Many choices exist to beautify both the garden and the home, and it takes just a bit of planning to have a sumptuous garden full of flowers for cutting. Here's what to consider:
First determine the colors you find attractive and choose accordingly. What colors do you wear? With what hues do you decorate your home? Does pink make you contemplative, yellow make you cheerful and red rev you up? Select correspondingly.
As for the borders themselves, you can have a bed solely devoted to flowers for cutting; or as I do, simply grow those beauties amid the other plants. If you do decide to start a bed from scratch, prepare the soil well, incorporating plenty of compost. Scatter some organic fertilizer such as Plant-tone, and make sure to water. (especially this year!)
Following is a selection of cutting flowers I tend in my gardens, roughly in order of bloom: Of course, the lineup changes with the years, as I murder some plants and discover others. But mostly these are tried and true.
Spring: Pansies, Korean spice viburnum, lungwort, quince, Darwin hybrid tulips, grape hyacinth, Virginia bluebells, Bleeding heart, crabapple, rhododendron, columbine, larkspur, lily-of-the-valley, lilac, sweet pea.
Late spring/ early Summer: Lady's mantle, astilbe, wallflower, feverfew, peony, bearded iris, nigella.
Summer: Rudbeckia, allium, Pearly everlasting, amaranthus, coreopsis, cosmos, dahlia, coneflower, filipendula, gypsophilia, hosta, liatris, gooseneck lysimachia, phlox, rose
Autumn: aster, sea oats grass, tall sedum, obedient plant, cimicifuga, solidago.
Some of these flowers possess other desirable characteristics. For instance:
Fragrance: Korean spice viburnum, grape hyacinth, hyacinth, lilac, bearded iris, sweet pea, wallflower, lily of the valley, phlox, cimicifuga.
Suitable for shade: lungwort, Virginia bluebells, Bleeding heart, rhododendron, Lady's mantle, astilbe, hosta, cimicifuga.
Drought tolerance (once established): quince, columbine, rudbeckia, allium, Bearded iris, feverfew, cosmos, amaranthus, Pearly everlasting, coreopsis, dahlia, gooseneck lysimachia, grasses, gypsophilia, hosta.
The list shows that one needn't be a spendthrift to have a gorgeous cutting garden. Many of these sweetie-pie plants self-sow, and others may be obtained at the local garden club plant sales (Bethel's is May 19th behind the Methodist Church, 359 Greenwood Avenue)
When you harvest, cut flowers in the cool of the day, and immediately plunge the stems into tepid water. Change the water daily. When arranging, I don't mess with "frogs" or Oasis; as a dirt-under-the-fingernails gardener, I just pick the flowers and stick 'em into the container. And I like to bring armloads of blossoms to church, to Book Club, to laid-up friends, as housewarming, hostess gifts and "just because". Nothing conveys emotion quite like flowers gathered from the garden.

Hi, everyone. I'm new here. Currently I'm writing a generic DICOM
loader for my company's project. For RGB DICOM series, I'm wondering
if it's possible to have 16 bits or larger data for each RGB component
(so that the total number of bits per pixel is 48+). For example, bits
allocated = 16, photometric representation = RGB, samples per pixel =
3. The raw file from my DSLR camera is in that format. But I have
never seem one in real DICOM file. Anyone has ever bumped into one
DICOM like that? Or maybe I don't have to worry about this case?
Thanks for the help!

It's been a big week in Texas politics.
Gov. Rick Perry announced he won't run for reelection, starting the dominoes falling around the state.
And back in Austin, Republicans won a controversial vote that could stem access to abortions.
Today on dallasnews.com, political writer Gromer Jeffers Jr. joins me to breakdown the events and take an in-depth look at what happened and what the consequences will be.


text: MUMBAI: At 70, AM Naik shows no signs of slowing down. His term as chairman of Larsen & Toubro ends in September, and a successor is due to be appointed in April.

He's got a long agenda on his desk - an agenda that promises to keep him busy for quite some time to come -well past April.

Wind Power: Everything's Bigger in Texas
Despite the slowdown this year in the wind industry, the U.S. is still ahead of schedule to generate 20% of its electricity from wind by 2020, according to a new report by the American Wind Energy Association, the industry's trade group.
Leading the charge is Texas, which widened its lead over states by installing almost 2,700 megawatts of wind power last year. Only two countries in the world installed that much wind in 2008. In fact, if Texas were a country—an idea never entirely out of fashion in the Lone Star state—it would rank 6th in the world in wind power capacity.
To get an idea just how explosive wind power's recent growth has been in Texas, look at the sprawling 19th congressional district in the northwest part of the state. That single (Republican) district has about as much wind power as all of Denmark, and more than 10% of all the wind power in the entire U.S.
Wind power has thrived because Texas is wide-open—both geographically and politically. There are plenty of open spaces to put wind farms and few barriers to building them.
That's a sharp contrast with California, once the national leader in wind power but which has been stuck in neutral for two years, and now ranks third nationally behind Iowa. In 2008, Texas installed 25 wind farms; California built two and rejigged one existing wind farm. For every 100 megawatts of wind power Texas installed last year, California built 3 megawatts.
Why do California's wind-power woes matter? Because the state aims to get 33% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020, just as the federal government is mulling national renewable-energy targets.
For California—not to say the entire country–that will be a really uphill struggle unless it overcomes the problems that have hamstrung wind-power development there. Those boil down to problems getting permits for new wind farms and problems building new transmission lines to carry the juice.
California's progress tackling those twin obstacles will likely show just how viable national plans for a huge increase in clean energy really are.

AbstractThe paper describes an improvement of the chopper method for elimination of parasitic voltages in a low resistance comparison and measurement procedure. The basic circuit diagram along with a short description of the working principle are presented and the appropriate low resistance comparator prototype was designed and realized. Preliminary examinations confirm the possibility of measuring extremely low voltages. Very high accuracy in resistance comparison and measurement is achieved (0.08 ppm for 1,000 attempts). Some special critical features in the design are discussed and solutions for overcoming the problems are described.

Thousands of baby boomers discovered as youngsters the amazing, tactile delight of Dorothy Kunhardt's Pat the Bunny, published in 1940, which has sold more than 3 million copies. Now Edith Kunhardt, daughter of the late Dorothy, has come up with a charming sequel for the boomers' own babies. In simple outline drawings, two children named Martha and Neddy introduce their cat, Columbus, which, thanks to a plush fabric covering it on the drawings, is as soft and fuzzy as a real cat. Then they go with their father to get money from a bank's cash machine, play on a seesaw and have a ginger snap that a little prereader can scratch and sniff all by himself. There are plenty of other surprises in this clever book, which encourages imaginative participation throughout. It's a sequel that does justice to the wonderful original. (Golden Books, $4.95)

Fuji Finepix S1 Compared to D1
I know I will catch some flack for this question, but I need serious help. I want to purchase a Digital SLR for under 2500. I can get a used D1 or a new Fuji S1 (which is based on a Nikon body and lense set) I have all Nikon equipment so these are my only choice in the price range I am looking. I would rather buy a new S1 to get the warrenties and such, but if the quality is that much worse, I would go with the D1. I guess my question is: Does any one examples of photos taken with either of these I could compare or know where I could find examples? I know there is a skin tone problem with the D1, but there is a fix in Photoshop for this now. Any help with this or any other advice you guys can give would be tremendous help as I have the money and just need a place to burn it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
#1. "RE: Fuji Finepix S1 Compared to D1" | In response to Reply # 0NikonDigital Registered since 04th Mar 2002Mon 04-Mar-02 11:14 PM
Hi Tony,
I sold my S1 pro last year and purchased a used "mint" D1. Some of my reasons among many were no RAW image file with the S1 and the lens limitations. Another was the build quality of the S1. I do alot of out doors and wildlife photography and gave the S1 more of a beating than it could handle. The D1 is at a professional level in this respect as well.
That's not to say you cannot take great pictures with the Fuji. Everyone's needs are different and I can only tell you mine.
Steves-digicams.com has reviews on both cameras along with sample pictures if that helps.
Good luck and have fun.
#2. "RE: Fuji Finepix S1 Compared to D1" | In response to Reply # 0AlanC Basic MemberTue 05-Mar-02 05:14 PM
Phil Askey at DPReview has previously reviewed the S1 and D1. Both reviews have sample galleries so you can get a good idea of what the cameras are capable of, and the D1 review includes a comparison to the S1.
The fix for the D1's colour problems you mention is actually not the best way to get accurate colours out of the camera: if you use RAW mode and process the resulting NEF files using QImage or Bibble then you'll get results that are significantly better in every way (colour, resolution, handling of highlights / shadows) than the in-camera produced JPEGs. Both these applications are shareware so you can try them out and see which you prefer before you buy.
The other possibility, of course, is to wait for the D100....
P.S. There are a fair number of my own D1 photos in the "A Picture I Took" forum if you want to see some examples processed using QImage - although you'll need to search the archives for posts with "AlanC" as the author to find them.
#3. "RE: Fuji Finepix S1 Compared to D1" | In response to Reply # 0jrobichaud Registered since 14th Mar 2002Thu 14-Mar-02 07:59 PM
I would recommend the D1 without reservation, I've produced great 10x15's from croped images with it with bibble, and bicubic image resizing (gen. fractiles works great with some subjects). The S-1 as a camera is a real POS. That being said, both the D1 and my D1X seem to have trouble with really pleasing/film like flesh tones. the S-1 seems to be better here. So many pro studio shooters swear by the S-1. I shot an S-1 a week or so ago, and maybe I'm missing something, but on highest resolution, it took 27 seconds to process between shots. Just unacceptable. If you shoot an F100 or F5 and want that speed and feel, the D1 is the way to go. If you can live with an F80, wait on the D100. best wishes.

Technical Abstract: Adoption of silvopastoral practices in the Ozark Highlands offers potential to not only increase forest production and sequester nutrients from animal wastes, but to do so while maintaining the grazing land base and diversifying farm operations. The objectives of this study are to demonstrate establishment and maintenance techniques for silvopastoral systems under Ozark Highland conditions. Three tree species (n. red oak, black walnut, and pecan) were planted in east-west rows spaced 50 ft. apart. One half of each tree block receives an annual application equivalent to 2 tons/acre of poultry litter. Ground cover in the paddock was converted to orchard grass to assess the viability of establishing this preferred forage species in silvopastoral settings. Tree and forage growth response and changes in soil and biomass nutrient pools are being monitored to assess nutrient (especially N and P) assimilation from applied poultry litter. Soil samples (0-6") will be taken in a random pattern within tree rows each year and analyzed for standard agronomic parameters. Four black walnut-rootstock graft combinations are also being evaluated for response to site conditions.

In planning the therapy of nasopharyngeal cancer, one must pay particular attention to the real and potential lymph node metastases, since as many as 90% of the patients may have clinically positive nodes on presentation for treatment. The nasopharynx has an extensive lymphatic capillary plexus, and it is quite common for a patient to present with neck nodes, and with the nasopharynx primary either very tiny, or not seen at all.
The neck node metastases are every bit as curable by irradiation as the primary lesion if the technique and dosages are utilized as outlined below. In fact, failure to control neck node metastases is rarely the only cause of failure in our nasopharyngeal experience.
Neck Node Spread
Although the afferent lymphatics usually drain into the nodes on the same side as the lesion, there are abundant anastamoses across the midline; even small, well-lateralized lesions may present with contralateral metastases.

Re: "The killing of Big Bird," by Howard Hallman, letters, Oct. 9
Howard Hallman is one of whom he speaks, "loose-mouthed trash talking idiots." Romney is braver than most politicians. He said what every other "please everyone all the time" politician doesn't have the guts to say. PBS is all grown up now and should not still be in the government nest. It should and will be able to fly on its own. Something like 15 percent plus or minus of the PBS budget comes from taxpayers like you and me. This amount could be easily made up if Big Bird would just get off his feathered nest and fly like an eagle. Cutting taxpayer funding for PBS will not solve our deficit problems but cutting that type of funding and thinking in lots of programs would help. Next Social Security and Medicaid, someone needs to speak out and tell us what we already know, they have to be fixed, changed, adjusted and saved from utter collapse, but first some politician need to have the guts to say so. I'll bet it will not be Obama.

Welcome to the Solar Power website. Our site exists in order to provide the interested with all the resources, information and related links available on the internet regarding Solar Power. It is vitally important that people all over the world begin to look at ways in which they can decrease their carbon footprint by initiating the kind of changes that will both allow them to conserve energy and also to increase the use of renewable energy sources so that what power they do use does not result in harmful emissions being pumped into our already beleaguered atmosphere.
Although every little change helps, just switching out all the light bulbs in your home and replacing them with energy saving light bulbs isn?t going to be enough to help us combat the onset of climate change. What is required is wholesale changes in the way we actually use energy, and specifically a concerted effort to move away from the use of fossil fuels which when burned to create energy have the unwelcome side effect of releasing billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. One of the most successful green energy technologies as yet developed, and one that continues to be refined and perfected, is the use of PV solar panels to harness the natural energy of the sun's rays. This is a free and bountiful source of energy that has no harmful emissions and can be tapped easily and cheaply. If you would like to comment on our Solar Power website, feel free to do so.

I don't really know any more today about the status of Mayor White's attempt to get the city of Houston off the hook for a May special election to fill Shelley Sekula Gibbs' vacant seat on City Council. I haven't had the time to call any more legislators' offices, but I don't think it matters anyway. Given the severe time constraints that this hypothetical legislation would face, and the many structural hurdles it would have to overcome, there's two people from the Houston delegation who are truly critical: Rep. Beverly Woolley in the House, who will presumably be the chair of the Calendars committee as before, and Sen. John Whitmire.
Woolley is a key member of House Speaker Tom Craddick's team, and as Calendars chair, she has a lot of influence over which bills come to the floor and when. If she's not on board, I don't see how Mayor White can be successful. As for Whitmire, it's true that he's currently on record opposing the Mayor's plan. You may recall, however, that Whitmire and White went mano a mano over Safe Clear in 2005, with Whitmire winning. This may just be his way of telling Mayor White that a bill like this goes through him or it doesn't go, so Mayor White better come to him and get his support. Far stranger things have happened than a future reversal on this point by Whitmire, if White does seek him out.
All this is theoretical, and it may well all be moot soon. The longer this goes on without some kind of formal announcement of a sponsor and a raft of supporters, the less likely I think it is to happen. Governor Perry has a role to play in this, too – he'd probably have to declare the issue an emergency so it could get priority treatment and take effect immediately after passage. There's just too much that hasn't happened, at least as far as I can tell. Maybe it's all going on sotto voce, and there'll be a big splash soon. Who knows? I'm just saying that I think we're headed for a May election.
Which brings me to that rumor I mentioned in the post title. I've speculated before that Sekula Gibbs herself might decide to run for her old seat. This past week, I've heard that some folks inside City Hall are worried about that very possibility. I'm told that the City Attorney believes Sekula Gibbs would be ineligible to run again, but his opinion is not binding in such a matter. If it came down to it, someone would have to file a suit to keep Sekula Gibbs off the ballot. Wouldn't that be fun?
Again, all of this may turn out to be a whole lot of nada. We're in a slow part of the news cycle, so we have to talk about something. All I know is that after everything that transpired this year, I know better than to say things like "it'll never happen" and "how could it get any wackier?" It's Friday, it's a rumor, take it in the spirit it was given. We'll just have to see what happens.

Opportunity Calling | CWBCPosted on Feb 9, 2013 in #CWBC, Word Obsession (blog) | 4 comments
Every day new opportunities rise to greet us. Every day we choose some and abandon others. We won't even necessarily understand what causes us to choose one over the other, especially since our reasoning can change from day to day. Sometimes the only reason we have for not following opportunities is fear.
For me, fear and pride have been great obstacles, a daily struggle to overcome. That was one of the subconscious reasons I began writing Searching for Sara. Through Sara, I was able to show my heart what could come from facing my fears and stepping forward regardless. Pride was the driving force behind Broken Angel, the heroine Rachel suffering because she wouldn't back down or compromise. Now, in Releasing Yesterday, I have no idea what I could learn, or what I can pose as a question to my characters to teach me.
Until I think about my floundering passion and stagnation. I just stand–or sit–here and think about all I need to do without doing any of it. In Releasing Yesterday it has taken Sara's absentee father more than 20 years to finally step forward in action and seek her out, determined to repair their non-existent relationship even against the wishes of his family.
Once before he allowed his family to dictate his future. Ten years later, he discovered that, not only did his wife die alone, she left a daughter whose only means of support was the kindness of others and the work of her two hands. It has taken him nearly fifteen years to finally track her down, and now he stares into the mirror image of his wife only to see all the years squandered and lost.
And then she looks away.
Because of his lack of action so many years before, she has suffered–then and now–and he faces the daunting task of seeking not only her forgiveness, but her love.
I think I'm in these same shoes. Because I left the sequel unfinished–and even un-outlined–I stare at the maw of my encroaching deadline and wonder how I'm going to craft book 2 into some semblance of order. How will I do this series justice? So I stay in one place and don't even attempt a beginning. But the sequel calls to me, as do my obligations, as do the characters. "Just write!"
But what about all the "do this" and "don't do this" that leer at me in the back of my brain. I forget what to look for, what to be mindful of while writing when I write. It can't be fine to simply write the story as it unfolds in my head, can it? What if I do it wrong? But is it better to not write at all?
So I stare down at the pages I have just printed–the physical often helps me find my footing–and look at all the scenes and pages cut from book 1 that I would love to weave into book 2, and whimper. There is so much to keep in mind! But that isn't necessarily true. I have book 1, and I have an idea of what I want for book 2. Everything else is a blank page waiting for my pen. The future is bright and unfettered, my characters free to whisper to me their story.
Like Sara's father, I only need to take that first and then second step forward, and keep going. The future doesn't come to us–we go.

I find it very hard to throw away plastic containers and have a huge stash of ice-cream, yoghurt, take away food containers and various other containers at home and in my classroom. The container that does go into the recycling bin due to the sheer number we go through is the milk container- never with its lid however - I always save those!!
I have shown various ways to use milk containers in the past but this week it has an Easter focus - of course.
Take one milk container......
1. Carefully cut the handle off and get creative with your bunny shape! This was a counting game so I wrote the numbers on the tails.
The counting game in the water trolley with pebbles.
2. Make a cute basket with a tulle handle to collect yummy Easter treats.
3. Make Easter Bunny necklaces.
Once you have cut out the bunny shapes get the children to trace or draw the rabbits face. Thread it and then some beads or straws to make a very cute Easter necklace.
Happy recycling and Happy Easter x

Dueling Ads: Gore Group v. Conservatives on Clean-Energy Fight
The battleground for America's clean-energy future has a face. More importantly, he has a weather-beaten face, a hat, a plaid workshirt, worn jeans, and drinks his coffee in a diner, not some frapuccino bar.
Repower America, the clean-energy advocacy group launched to promote Al Gore's plan to power the U.S. with renewable energy, is aiming its advertising salvoes mainly at the heartland.
The new national ad, "Bellyaching," comes a week after conservative groups started running radio ads in swing states away from the coasts, arguing that looming energy and climate legislation in Washington will be a back-breaker for many families. Especially in the Midwest, which stands to suffer disproportionately from any cap-and-trade plan that raises the cost of coal-fired electricity and gasoline.
Repower's ad features a gruff old guy complaining about Big Oil and talking up clean energy's potential to save the economy. Locally-tailored ads are running in a dozen states, including Arkansas, California, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
The dueling ad campaigns are just another sign of what's become increasingly clear. Powerful politicians from the East and West Coasts may be drafting America's energy policy. But actually getting it passed will mostly depend on politicans from fly-over territory.

Talk to Me
Nikki La Plata MD
Hi Tyler, My name is Nikki, and I am and have been a mad black woman, I just watched the play and the movie A diary of a MAD black women!! I have been a mad black women during a 4 year divorce and then all over again during a 3 year engagement, when I found out he was a liar and a cheater with over 25 women in a 3 year period. Which every last one of these women either knew me or knew of me! But your plays and movies have given me strengenth\and comfort. I thank you first and Madea second for being able to relate what I have and am going through. I am a single mother of two wonderful non abused kids even though my back round and my most recent relationship was full of abuse! I thought I was sheltering my kids from it, until they spoke out to me and told me the fears and concerns they had that I never knew. Thank you from the bottom of not only my heart but kids hearts as well. You have been an enornmous help to all 3 of us. My daughter is like me who is a lot like you and writes plays and poems, and short stories to deal with her hurt. Unlike me who stopped writting a long time ago because I didn't think it could help. If only I knew you could have a few just because I have finally learned to forgive and I am to tired from back surgery, and single motherhood to write at this moment, but who knows I just may get into it again thanks to you. But my daughter has not stopped and she will be 15 this year and would love to meet you and show you her work which for her age is up there with full grown adults. But I love both of my children to death, but the fact that she sees me happy like one of your movie endings speaks volumes to me. I would love to get the chance to meet you and thank you in person for all the help you gave me, because when the man that begged me to marry him after I supported him for 2 1/2 months in jail walked out on me and my kids after 4 days of me being in the hospital after back surgery. You and Madea got me through the depression, hurt and pain. Thank you so much!! YOU keep doing what you do, you inspire me through your faith and fine works!! Pls fell free to contact me if ever for any reason, you have helped me and my children in more ways than I can express to you. Please continue to be blessed and to bless others with all our love, Nikki, Simera, and AmariReply

Obama Family Hits the Beach
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. – After receiving an update on the situation in Libya, President Barack Obama hit the beach Sunday with his wife and daughters.
The president, First Lady Michelle Obama and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, arrived just before 10 a.m. at a private beach near the rented estate where they're spending the week with friends and family. It is the first outing for the entire first family since Mr. Obama arrived on Martha's Vineyard Thursday night for a nine-day vacation.
Mr. Obama has played golf, shopped for books with his daughters, taken Mrs. Obama out to dinner and attended a party at the Vineyard home of Charles Ogletree, a professor at Harvard Law School.
But the White House has stressed that despite all the presidential recreation, Mr. Obama is staying tuned to events during his vacation, particularly when it comes to the economy. Aides stress that one of the president's top economic advisors arrives on the Vineyard Monday and will be providing in-person updates to Mr. Obama on the economy. They also said Mr. Obama is working on his jobs plan that will be unveiled after Labor Day.
Even Mr. Obama says he has a lot riding on whether his proposals are successful, particularly his re-election. "I expect to be judged a year from now on whether or not things have continued to get better," he said in an interview on CBS that aired Sunday.
Despite growing speculation about a possible double dip recession, Mr. Obama told CBS he doesn't think the economy is in danger of another recession. "But we are in danger of not having a recovery that's fast enough to deal with what is a genuine unemployment crisis," he said.
Several of Mr. Obama's campaign advisers took to the Sunday news talk shows to defend the president against critics who say he should not be vacationing on the elite Martha's Vineyard when the economy is stagnant and millions of Americans are out of work.
Robert Gibbs, Mr. Obama's former press secretary who is now advising his re-election campaign, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that criticism swirls whenever a president – Democrat or Republican – takes a vacation. David Axelrod, the president's longtime political adviser, said on ABC's "This Week" that Mr. Obama didn't postpone his vacation and call Congress back to Washington because he hopes that after lawmakers hear from their constituents on the economy, they'll be more willing to compromise on a jobs plan.
Mr. Axelrod told CNN that the economic plan Mr. Obama will put forward next month, which will include a framework for reducing the deficit and stimulating the economy, will be a mix of new and old proposals, some which are intended to target short-term growth and some that are designed to address the long-term.
The president is scheduled to return to Washington on Aug. 27.

Morning MoneyBeat Europe: Stocks Tipped For Cautious Fightback
Good Morning Europe
European stocks are set for a higher open, the forecasters think, tracking U.S. stocks which snapped a five-session losing streak Monday, cheered by earnings from Berkshire Hathaway and news of a bailout plan for Portugal's troubled lender Banco Espirito Santo.
That said markets still look extremely cautious, and there's plenty of red on Asian mainboards. Assuming geopolitics permit – a three day ceasefire in Gaza brokered by Egypt is now under way- investors will focus on Europe's service sectors through Tuesday, with a slew of Purchasing Managers Index numbers due.
France will remain in an unwelcome spotlight after Moody's aired worries that the country is likely to miss its deficit-reduction targets.
By David Cottle
Market Snapshot: U.S. stocks (Monday close) DJIA up 0.5%, Nasdaq up 0.7%, S&P 500 up 0.7%. Nikkei down 1%. (Tuesday close). September FTSE now up 0.3% , September S&P up 0.2%. Brent crude up five cents at $105.46. Gold up $2.70 at $1291.50. EUR/USD now at $1.3425. USD/JPY at ¥102.48. Ten-year T-note yields 2.48%, Bund 1.13% and Gilt 2.54%.
Watch For: French, German, UK and Euro zone service sector PMI data, and their U.S. equivalent, the ISM survey. Euro zone retail sales.
What you may have missed from MoneyBeat:
That Snoring Noise? Must Be The FX Traders: Something strange is going on in foreign exchange. The market is incredibly quiet. OK, it's August, typically a quiet time of year for any market, but by any sensible measure, key currencies are in a deep sleep and have been for months, as we wrote back in May.
Potential Double Blow For Investors In BES Mess: Banco Espirito Santo's junior bond holders could be set for a double blow. Not only are their bonds likely to be left almost worthless as part of the bank's rescue plan, but insurance-like contracts investors may have taken out to protect against a default might not pay out.
Five Things to Know About Espirito Santo International: One surprise in Banco Espirito Santo SA's collapse this month is how parent company Espirito Santo International was able to operate for decades with minimal oversight despite its web of transactions and intragroup funding with the Portuguese bank.
Middle East Proves a Bright Spot for HSBC:With the largest presence of any international bank in the Middle East, HSBC's results usually serve as a good indicator of the health of the region's financial services industry. Going by the bank's latest results, that outlook looks encouraging.
Overnight Action
Portugal Saga Entangles Swiss Firm: As regulators try to untangle the financial mess surrounding Espírito Santo International, multiple threads lead back to a small Swiss company whose business interests are intermingled with the conglomerate.
Israel, Hamas Agree to 72-Hour Cease-Fire in Gaza:Israel and Hamas agreed to a 72-hour cease-fire in Gaza starting Tuesday as Israeli forces appeared to be winding down their monthlong offensive in the Palestinian territory.
Credit Agricole Hit By Portuguese Bank's Woes:The French bank reported a slump in second-quarter net profit, hit by the crisis facing Portuguese lender Banco Espírito Santo in which it owns a 14.6% stake.

Help with the Your Cat website
We hope you like the website. Our design has been chosen to reflect modern day web browsers on both traditional computers and tablets (as well as smartphones).
You can now use Facebook to log into our forum and community area. Don't worry if you don't have a Facebook account or would like to keep the two separate... you can still register with us in minutes and be part of the cat fun!
Here are some helpful tips to get started:
1) How do I log in or register?
If you signed up on the old Yourcat.co.uk website, your username is active and you should have received an email from us with a new password. You can log in via the email link.
If you are new to the site, in the top menu you will see 'Members Area'. You will see options to log in or register here. You can register on the site, or if you are a member of Facebook, you can log into yourcat.co.uk via your Facebook log in details and this will then allow you to feed your activity from yourcat.co.uk to your Facebook profile.
2) How do I log out?
If you are in 'Cat Community' there is a little green power button on the right hand side of the menu options. If you are in 'Cat Forum' there is a log out option at the top of the forum threads.
3) My username or password is not working
You can have your password sent to you by clicking on the 'lost password' option during login (and same for your username if you have forgotten that). During the site upgrade, your usernames were transferred across but your passwords were reset therefore your old password will not work and you may get redirected back to the homepage. You should have received an email from us with your new password. Once you have logged in, you can change your password to something more memorable.
4) I saw an error message or I was diverted to the homepage!
5) What is the Cat Community and Cat Forum?
There are two social areas on this site. The forum (click here to go to the Cat Forum) is an upgraded version of what you are used to on the old site. Please note we have been unable to take old threads with the move so we are starting the forum afresh! The forum is ideal for asking other users about problems you may have with your cat and for general advice questions. The forum can be dived in and out, you are able to pick up on threads as you wish.
The Cat Community is new (click here to go to the Cat Community) and works slightly differently. This is for more real-time status updates, uploading photos and videos, commenting on stories, joining/creating groups, and to be honest we are looking to you to see how it is used! With feedback and a few weeks of usage, we will assess how the Forum and Cat Community work together and what our members think of it.

Big Spring Creek
Big Spring Creek is unique in the Southern Rocky Mountains biophysiographic province as a spring-fed, gaining stream formed by groundwater discharging from an unconfined aquifer. Located within Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, the stream flows out over an eolian sand sheet, forming emergent wetlands that support a diversity of rare species and plant communities in an otherwise arid landscape. The meandering creek provides an excellent example of natural geologic and hydrologic patterns.

Would open the floodgatesMay 10,2013
Would open the floodgates
I just read that the water tax has been stripped from the fees bill. I am glad. This tax would have been a very dangerous precedent.
From here the state would claim that all water is owned by the state and we do not have the right as landowners and homeowners to get water from our wells and springs.
Next the state would claim that the rain falling on our land is owned by the state and we would not have the right to collect rainwater.
Both of these have been done in other states.
Please dont let the state of Vermont steal away our property without even eminent domain proceedings. The state has no right to our water, soil and air. As property owners, paying the mortgage and the taxes, we own our property and that includes the mineral and water rights which we bought when we purchased our land.

Somebody hold Brantley Gilbert.
Because he's having nightmares . . . about Tim McGraw.
"I'm telling ya, I keep on having the same nightmare where Tim knocks on the door of my tour bus to go work out with him," laughs Brantley, who is currently opening alongside Love and Theft on Tim's Two Lanes of Freedom 2013 Tour, presented by Pennzoil. "I mean, I like to do some power lifting and strength training because I just can't run because of some knee and back problems . . . but Tim? I mean, he is on a whole other level. That man is like the Terminator. I'm pretty sure he bleeds chrome."
In an attempt to impress his boss while out on the road, Brantley did what any other guy would do—he headed to the local sporting-goods store. "I bought me some Air Jordans and some tall white socks with three stripes at the top and a pair of shorts," he says. "I thought I wore a large in shorts but I didn't know there was a new style in shorts. These shorts hang down past my calf muscles. I also got a shirt that says 'Run Like a Boss' since my nickname is Boss."
Looking outrageously sporty and ready to join Tim and the crew in a few games of basketball, Brantley took a selfie and texted it to Tim. "I was all duded up and my socks were all pulled up," says Brantley, laughing, "with the message: 'Anyone wanna play ball?'"

Definition of peon in English:
1A Spanish-American day laborer or unskilled farm worker.
Example sentences
- After playing the game for 50 minutes, the computer will have successfully constructed one farm and three peons, each of which are harvesting lumber for no reason.
- Coal is simply harvested by henchmen (peasant or peons for the rest of you) and these two resources are all that's needed to wage war.
- This is a big time saver as far as training peasants, peons, wisps, and acolytes, which serve as the gatherers of lumber and gold and also provide the muscle to construct your base structures.
1.1 historical A debtor held in servitude by a creditor, especially in the southern US and Mexico.
Example sentences
- This political art project was designed to compensate the impoverished peons of Mexico for the failure of the 1910-1919 revolution led by Zapata and Pancho Villa.
- Thus the Southern peon is not, in fact, and as an individual, as irrevocably bound to the wheel of industry as his Northern brother, since he may always escape to churldom.
1.2North American A person who does menial work; a drudge: racing drivers aren't exactly normal nine-to-five peons
More example sentences
- 'They talk about who's in charge and who are the peons,' he says.
- She was a smart mechanic, but she was still a mere peon to the vassal that owned her.
2(In South and Southeast Asia) someone of low rank.
Example sentences
- He also shows how peons sought to escape military demands and to redefine their relationship with the state by migrating, changing identity, and reinventing a new political and military persona.
- Harvesting of the plant was a speculative enterprise, with Indian debt peons spending months in the forest harvesting, drying and bailing the crop.
- They had come from the slums of the favelas with a dream of being a patron of a large estate centered with a grand hacienda: Indian peons would work their wide acreage and cater to their needs.
- Example sentences
- The transaction carries overtones of moves to reduce the autonomy of rural African Americans with the debt peonage of sharecropping or exploitation in industrial mills.
- Practices specifically outlawed - such as debt peonage, where subjects are trapped in an unending cycle of indebtedness for necessities of life which cannot be overcome through their labor - were in reality widespread.
- It is even more doubtful whether the colonialists often actually intended the physical extermination of indigenous peoples rather than their displacement, peonage, or enslavement, and conversion to Christianity.
From Portuguese peão and Spanish peón, from medieval Latin pedo, pedon- 'walker, foot soldier', from Latin pes, ped- 'foot'. Compare with pawn1.
Words that rhyme with peonActaeon, Aegean, aeon (US eon), Augean, Behan, Cadmean, Caribbean, Carolean, Chaldean, Cyclopean, empyrean, epicurean, European, Fijian, Galilean, Hasmonean, Hebridean, Herculean, Ian, Jacobean, Kampuchean, Laodicean, lien, Linnaean (US Linnean), Maccabean, Mandaean (US Mandean), Medicean, monogenean, Nabataean (US Nabatean), Orphean, paean, paeon, pean, Periclean, piscean, plebeian, Pyrenean, Pythagorean, Sabaean, Sadducean, Sisyphean, skean, Tanzanian, Tennesseean, Terpsichorean, theodicean, Tyrolean
